LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!!

Bad news is - they released it AFTER the weekend and I think I may need to go out and run errands tonight after work. :(

But I WILL start working it - due to not having a weekend in there it'll be a few days before I have anything usable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
We can use I9100 kernel source, it works already in fact. We just have to fix a few issues like capacitive buttons, audio, etc.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Nah. Entropy and the other devs already had a mostly working ICS before; now with kernel source for i9100, they can just tweak some of the button mapping in the kernel to match our phones, and bam! We're pretty much good to go. At least, I think that's how it works, someone correct me if I'm wrong too xD

EDIT: Man this thread is moving fast, I was beaten to the punch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfreywald:
Okay very cool then. I was at first, like ok this is cool but what does it mean for US? Now that, that is cleared up. WOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yeah. The latest I9100 kernel source for Gingerbread needed only minor fixes to build for I777 - which is why nearly every I9100 kernel dev did I777 releases blind.

If the I777-specific stuff is missing from this source drop - we know what needs to be added.

Main problem might be that MAIN SCREEN TURN ON bull****. I don't want to have to MOVE ZIG! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!

Obviously not having libaudio will be an annoyance - we'll need to force-disable Samsung Noise Reduction, which means that auto-Hellraising will not be possible unless another approach is discovered to fixing call audio, as the Phone.apk hack is firmware-specific. Manual porting will not be difficult though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MakAttak:
OK, OK, I get it.. Newest toys fastest processors coolest software.. I GET IT...

But REALLY, the GS2 is now what a few months old, and we are already complaining/griping/anxiously awaiting the next great toy? I mean, think about it when the Galaxy S users found out the new S2 was on the way... You couldn't sell an original for 10 bucks. But go back and look at the reviews, and , the folks that were customizing it, and all the very cool stuff said about it.. This is a never ending tight loop.

The big looming question is, why are we so short sited about ICS? What is the next fundamental breakthrough? It doesn't appear to be coming from Apple, or even Samsung, or any of the others for that matter. I was very sorry to see Jobs go (I actually owned APPLE-2 s/n 0000076) , but I just can't wait to find out who fills the void for all of us..

I am not even sure what defines a new technology, but I can say without a doubt it ain't ice cream, that is just a cheap party favor... Where's the triple layer devils food cake with all the candles on top???

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
It's a big deal because the upgrade from Eclair to Froyo and Froyo to Gingerbread is tiny in comparison to ICS. ICS is a huge change from Android of old.

My first device was a Donut device, 1.6...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MakAttak:
You are missing the point.. The big deal originally was DOS to Windows, a fundamental change that required a whole new idea of platform and all surrounding software. In the cell market it was from the old analog motorola brick phones to a digital PDA with an embedded phone. A brave new world conquered by the likes of the iPhone and others. Now we seem to be stuck.. Just different ROMS, and OS's. If the new great thing is so new and great, it wont be able to be run on any of the hardware we have today... It will require tri-corder technology.. LOL

but surely they'll be intl version. might not be too useful for porting to the att version just as you can't take an intl rom and load it to your device now without things being broken. If the intl taking till q2 2010 then an att approved version i wouldn't expect till Q3/Q4.

really the only reason im looking forward to ICS is that its suppose to actually take advantage of the dual core. Unless im mistaken and GB already handles this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Received my at&t sgs2 a few days ago, hehe, damn I love it! However lets be serious, we wont see an official ICS ever, especially since its a carrier device. Who cares! The custom ports and ROMs will be better even with modded drivers etc. Nevertheless at least we dont have to put up with that disgusting home hardkey on the Itl version :D

What are you on about?

Regards

Flashmore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
GB already handles this, but I believe ICS will scale to dual cores better - how much better? Dunno.

And International ROM porting isn't that hard - it's just that few devs have had the motivation to actually do it.

There's a chance the I9100 kernel source for ICS might have the I777-specific bits - if it doesn't, that means it might take 2-3 months to get a full porting job rather than 1-2 weeks. (Mainly porting the MAX8922 and PN544 drivers over - the touchkey driver will be easy as it just needs modifications and not a complete port-over.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GUARDIANBD:
i'v read the whole theard (wow that was long!)

but now i got a quotation :

1. what to get?

T-mobile SAMSUNG T989 HERCULES?

ATT Galaxy S2 I777?

Original GALAXY S2 9100?

Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G?

2. why not upgrading the whole line of Galaxy S2 to ICS?

3. beside the T-989 is Snapdragon APQ Platform what are the main

differences between the I777 and the 9100?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver03wrx:
I have had tmobile and sprint now at&t. The sprint gs2 epic 4g touch very nice phone only diff to att gs2 is it has a 4.5 acreen att has 4.3 . Sprint sucks slooooow data call drops. And there gs2 has a data lock up issue. Tmobile worst cell provider ive ever has horroble service and slow data. Even worse then sprint. I have had the att gs2 for about 2 weeks now and couldnt be happier. Great phone excelent service and awesome data speeds. After sprint for 8 years and then tmobile for only a few weeks because there network sucks so bad. I really wish i had come too att sooner . Trust me get the att gs2 not the skyrocket. And youll not regret it. The skyrocket lte but they sacraficed screen quality and a much inferior processor. Ita laggy. Sprint is also making alo of changes . No more 30 day reaturn policy. And sprint premier customer yearly upgrade was changed too 2 years. And the whole line of galaxy ß2 will be upgraded too ics. Samsung italy already confirmed that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GUARDIANBD:
Here in Israel we dont have 4g network yet we use gsm network 3.5g

and i dont use Any data plan.

I want an sgs2 and get rid of my Sprints Photon 4g

I saw many diffrences and i dont know which phone to get.

The Hercules have an APQ S3 cpu which is superur to the Samsung c210 orion.

The Tmobile phone is that bad?

By the way is there any change in camera & audio quality between those models?

Thanks a lot!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
The Samsung Exynos processor is superior.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver03wrx:
+1 it is superior. And the sound audio quality ia the same on the sprint and att galaxy s2 based on my experience owning both im very pleased with it. Its clear and loud. Alot of.phones suck. Like the evo 3d very quiet and distorted speaker almost sounds blown right out of the box. Was not enough loud enough too use as my alarm clock. But the sgs2 is so loud it scares mmy woman when it goes off hin the morning. Also stay even though u have no 4g u dont want sprint there 3g is not even 3g in my oppinion . I nevef got more then like 120k down. And tmobile was slightly faster yet service in very limited areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver03wrx:
I live in a country area not even a 4g market my woman has no service here on sprint and heres what i get on att did this test just now and im very pleased with it considering the area im in . No one in the apartment has service except att

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GUARDIANBD:
So...getting the at&t version then?

i read about the S3 APQ and the bencmarks show's that S3 is more powerfull

then the C210 (the C210 is 1.2ghz and the S3 is 1.5ghz).

im a bit afraid from not getting the ICS :| had a bad exp's with

the Samsung Crappyvate until we got Gingerbread O M G! it took forever!

Does this mean that ATT is basically forgetting about the original galaxy s2 all together and focusing on the SkyRocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GUARDIANBD:
low quality screen? (Super Amoled Plus)

inferrior CPU?! (APQ S3 with Adreno 220 Oc)

i dont see any "Infrerrior" spec :| or am i wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] orezinlv:
The only superior thing you are truly getting in that phone is LTE which on ATT is not ready for prime time even if you are in a city that has it. The OG is capable of 21mbps and they can't even get that done where hspa+ has been around for awhile. I can't understand why someone would need more bandwidth than that on their smartphone. The only caveat is tethering and I would be shocked if the big A doesn't put the screws in even harder if someone tries to free tether on it's new LTE tether. Its still at least possible to fly under the radar on its HSPA network. So unless money is no object and you will be on the pay tethering LTE plan AND you live in a city with decent LTE coverage, whats the bloody point?

Let them focus on what they want to focus on, it looks like those in this community like what they got better :) . Who wants to use their crappy, gimped, bloatware ridden ICS when it comes out in july 2012 anyway when we can have some CYANO ICS by I'm guessing late Decemberish!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
So only the Skyrocket and Vivid are on the official ICS list?

And I just bought my SGSII. Oh well, Cyanogen, here I come.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apexi350z:
For HTC, older phones are getting ICS as well:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/07/htc-announces-specifics-on-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrades/

We can confirm the brand new HTC Vivid is upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich. In addition, Ice Cream Sandwich is coming in early 2012 to a variety of devices including the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL and HTC Sensation XE, as well as the HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and HTC Amaze 4G through close integration with our carrier partners.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogue9607:
Just saw this... ICS for SGSII in December?

Can't post a link yet... but according to a uswitch .com article:

"Samsung Galaxy S2 owners will taste the Ice Cream Sandwich as early as next month, an Android insider claims."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] glitchsys:
I'm fairly positive that ICS will come to the AT&T Galaxy S II, not just the SkyRocket, technically the CPU & GPU is better on our phones than the skyrocket; but it will take a long while. Mainly due to Samsung's vetting of the stability of the ROM and AT&T's vetting of the ROM but it'll be released eventually. However, CM9 will of course come out for our phones way before then.

Coworkers are already running ICS on their Nexus S's. I've been playing with it and overall I like it and can't wait to get it. Without the source it's a huge hack and frankenstein mixture of various leaks to get ICS working on the Nexus S, but it's been done and it's actually stable and fast and good enough for a daily driver. I'm hoping somebody will frankenstein a mix together of the various leaks and get it a proof-of-concept working on our phones, just like the Nexus S. That'd be awesome to be running it even before the Galaxy Nexus is released.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] crawlgsx:
The Skyrocket is stretched to 4.5" with the same res, so slightly more pixely. personally I don't notice it, but some people are really anal about this. It's in the eye of the holder lol. Lots of people say the same thing about the S2 compared to HTC, but you won't see any S2 owners complaining about that.

CPU is slightly slower, you WILL NOT notice except in benchmarks, but you can let people let you believe otherwise if you like. It is a faster clock but it is proven that the Exynos is faster than the snapdragon. That said the Skyrocket is smooth as butter.

They are both really fast really nice phones. It's really a stupid battle.

If DPI is your priority, get the S2. if 4.5" is your fancy, get the Skyrocket.

If you want guaranteed eventual release of ICS by the carrier, get the Skyrocket.

Etc. Make your OWN decision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogue9607:
That's the one. Not saying it's credible (not that any of the ICS rumors are), but it's something I hadn't found elsewhere and wanted to share.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
We already "kinda" have ICS with the MUIU Android 4.0.1.

ICS really takes advantage of the beefy GPU in our devices. You'll notice faster web browsing, scrolling, all animations are quicker, and everything runs smoother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
well Samsung Italy said the SGS2 was receiving ICs in January so I'm gonna say we will get it probably at the same time the skyrocket gets it here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
I've been running the MIUI ICS build since it was posted, and it's working great so far. It does seem faster, and battery life also seems better than the other ROMs I've tried. Can't wait to get it all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sportcourt7:
I am thinking about getting the Skyrocket but when is the soonest I could get ICS on it? And could I basically get the exact same OS the galaxy nexus has, like without bloatware on a Skyrocket? Preferably stock ICS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jconfus:
You will get bloatware on Skyrocket when you get it from ATT

you can root and install custom rom without any bloatware yourself.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
I'll believe or when I see it. Official GB still hasn't hit Captivate, and GB has been out for some 10 months now, and available on the International for almost 6. AT&T still hasn't even pushed put a security patch for the glaring lock screen security flaw discovered on launch day, and that wad almost 6 weeks ago. What makes you think an unsubstantiated rumor that it's coming next month could possibly be true?

Do we really think that a long track record by Samsung and AT&T of being ridiculously slow to push updates might suddenly be reversed in the middle of a generational leap forward for the OS?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
The only problem with using source based roms is that they don't initially have support for all the hardware. This has to be added separately, and its the reason why CyanogenMod does nightly releases. They constantly have to tweak their builds on newly supported devices to get them running correctly.

When the first ICS rom is released by Samsung for the i9100, it essentially just needs to be Hellraised to run on the i777, and will natively support most of the hardware. I may even hold off for the ICS release of unnamed, unless the stock build comes out about perfect.
