Galaxy Nexus coming within 30 days

Report today says a UK Samsung phone with ICS (Android 4.0) will be available in the UK

(that's England for anyone who thinks UK means Kentucky) within next 30 days which could mean

that Samsung will release the code online around the same time.

When I spot it anywhere on the web, I'll post the link HERE

and make sure all the top developers hear about it the same day.

:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
The only thing that stinks is that it's probably going to be a GSM phone since most of Europe uses that. Even if it's Sammy, porting from GSM to CDMA isn't always the cleanest or most functional
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Lol that is funny cause that devuce doesn't even have the qualifying hardware to ever run the full spec version of it.

Its like the og evo trying to run 3.0 lol. It doesn't have enough ram period. It can't even properly run android 2.x.x with 3.0 added in certain areas. Like say you are web browsing and multi task over to txt some one then multi task back to the browser, it will have to reload the entire page each time do to lack of ram. Forget having 2 web pages open at once lmao!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
GSM vs CDMA

Is it possible that a good developer could use the UK Android 4.0 with exception of the radio and then plug in our current USA Sprint radio?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joetrisman:
Yeah, that guy on the youtube along with the kids over at the nexus one forum have nearly got a working flashable rom going.

SDK to Android 4.0 ROM at about 50% NOW!

And a few posts here said I was crazy in thinking that ANYONE could create a ROM from the SDK.

Seems like the crew at Nexus One is about halfway there already! Wouldn't be the first time good developes have a wworking ROM before the Android phone even goes on sale! ANDROID 4.0 HERE WE COME !!! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I believe the nexus is a GSM device thus making it easier to get working. I could be wrong but we won't really be able to be as far along as them until they release an ICS update.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
I disagree

If we get the stable Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for our Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch phones BEFORE Sprint or Samsung delivers one to us, my $100 will be paid 24 hours after confirming that we have a stable ICS ROM.

I will then ask all donors to make their donations and post their receipt # on this thread. Anyone who doesn't pay within a reasonable time (7 days from time we post the stable ROM link) will receive 1 reminder notice from me. If they haven't paid within the next 3 days, I will post their XDA contact info on this thread and on a Shame Page that will be highly indexed by all search engines. Hopefully, all donors are honorable people who value the skill & time it takes to build a stable custom ROM and also value their "cred" more than what they'd spend on a couple of drinks.

;)

This reward project isn't just about getting an Android ROM. I'm also hoping to show everyone on XDA (and other developer sites) that there is some honor among those of us who can afford and appreciate the high tech gadgets we carry today.

I welcome more donation pledges from anyone who agrees with the aforementioned.

No source code= No stable ICS

Source code>SDK Port

Once the ics source comes, yall will get it, not before all that unless its an SDK image port..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
yeah i dont get this thread. everyone is going to chip in for a half baked port? id much rather wait for cm7 port then a crappy ics sdk port or until the source code is released
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Working on the sdk port.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, the Nexus version supposedly does have Wifi working as well. I am about to flash it to try it out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Then you don't really get XDA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Some people Are Simply Clueless

I agree with clamknuckle. On XDA people WORK TOGETHER to get what many of us want. Nobody on this thread asked for or wants a "half-baked" Android 4.0, which means you probably didn't read more than 1 or 2 posts on this entire thread.

Fortunately, most people who have posted are donors who GET IT, and are pledging their monetary support to help us get a complete & stable Android 4.0 as soon as possible.

And to the post about "waiting for CM7" ... the Cyanogen group has yet to offer ANY ROM for the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch so why do you think they'd lift a finger to give us 4.0 Android ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
PhantomHacker has accepted our challenge !

Cool dude! It will be my pleasure to give you my $100 and forward all the other donors to you if you beat everyone else to our reward!

Game ON !

:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
Better idea: Raise money to get Samsung to release 4.0 and source. Then it's guaranteed to be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Yeah i get that it WILL be half baked if it's from a sdk port. You won't get anything good until the source code is released. Your just going to get a rushed project to see which dev gets the money first
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Well if you saw i posted cm7 which is gingerbread based...cm9 will be ics...cm team even stated they won't touch an sdk port because it will be incomplete. Plus no one is "working together" on this thread you're just paying someone to do the work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I doubt that Samsung would be motivated by $10,000 to release the source and we would not even be close to that amount. That probably wouldn't pay for the salary of the employees who process paperwork for the engineers who wrote the code for the Galaxy. The community has always been and will always be on the razor edge followed by mainstream.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Negative people = negative results

Please take your negativity elsewhere. This site is for people who want a stable ICS ROM for our Sprint Galaxy S2 phones as soon as possible and we're simply WORKING TOGETHER to motivate one or more developers to create it for us.

Thank you! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Motivation

Seems you misunderstood my point. It's not the amount of money that might impress Samsung or Sprint as much as the fact that we are willing to offer a REWARD to get the ICS ROM as soon as possible. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mprziv:
This whole thread is pretty dumb. First off it was originally posted in Dev section, with 0 development anywhere to be found. Second, only an sdk of ICS has been released...so a port will be very incomplete for our phone. Then there's the fact that 90% of you pledgers will be deadbeats as usual and not pay up when the time comes. The thread was a nice thought...but it is a bit naive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
lol you just dont "get it". jk. but seriously the development for an ics rom would be the same even if there wasnt a money pool. youre basically going to get a rushed rom. a race for the prize. if you want to donate, donate to a dev you like and respect. not blindly giving money to a dev that may just abandon the rom or have a lack of updates after initial release.

Please READ post #1

It's a shame you and other negative people don't "get it" and didn't take the time to read post #1 of this thread so you would know our goal.

Aside from being WRONG about our goal, PhantomHacker has already informed us on this thread that he is working on the ICS ROM for our Sprint Epic 4G Touch.

I've already made several donations to him for his work on Starburst ROMs and look forward to him delivering & supporting us with an excellent ICS ROM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
The dumps are useful its just someone taking the time to work on it. Although there is no source yet, it is still android. After the Galaxy Nexus and source are released Alphas will come shortly after. I think the mentality now is, no source, no effort. We could get the dumps to boot but will not support much else. Android is getting smarter and smarter so don't be surprised when there is a version that is released that works like windows, with all hardware and downloads required drivers over the network.

I don't even bother with knock off launchers, they make no effort to look legit.

The ROM works surprisingly well. The screen rotation speed is impressive, 3g, Wifi work, all of my apps installed and supposedly someone made a rooted version. Very nice. I will be back on it after I check out the Latest CM nightly. There was a 2nd version with Bluetooth supposedly fixed and root but it got locked (kang?) I guess I grabbed it just in time but haven't tried it yet. It is so much better looking than Gingerbread that's for sure

Alpha vs. stable & complete

Dear Mr. or Ms. z31k,

Whereas you haven't pledged any donation on this thread, you have "no say" as to where our pledges go. However, just to be clear to EVERYONE, we are here to offer our donation pledges to WHOMEVER delivers a COMPLETE & STABLE Ice Cream Sandwich ROM (Android 4.0) for Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch smartphones BEFORE Sprint or Samsung makes it available to us. Not sure how to make this any clearer but if anyone still doesn't understand our goal, simply post a new message on this thread and I'll repeat it again using different wording (but with the same meanings).

Thank you! :)

I have an issue which most likely has a simple answer.

My SE4GT is not Rooted, and I was all set up to download the EG30.tar

I had Odin recognizing my device with COM5, etc.

I Uploaded the Mirror in Post #1, and it uploaded as factoryms.img

I tried to extract it, But I got a pop up saying WinZip only supports .img files that are in .iso format. So I couldn't put the EG30.tar file in the PDA box in Odin.

Any help is appreciated.

You're probably right. Too bad there isn't a way to ban people from posting stuff that is inappropriate and just takes up cyberspace. Then again, with many employers doing extensive internet searches using real and pseudonyms, maybe they'll get what they deserve when they apply for that college or job they REALLY wanted. It's amazing how many times in life "what goes around, comes around."

After reading your reply, you got me thinking. What was happening was that the default was opening up the upload with WinZip.
