someone could please write here the twitter link of the porting? it's about 10 times I don't save it in my bookmarks... thanks! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Thats just what one website says. SamsungUK have said on their twitter that they HOPE to release it by then but there is still no date, so it may no actually be in Decemeber.
[Galaxy S II General] h20pt:
Not so sure about that.. I only take it as certain if i see an oficial confirmation by samsung itself.. Otherwise, it might be just a rumor (and i'm pretty sure that's the case).

But i really wish i'm wrong :D

EDIT: Can't we just fast forward time? :(
[Galaxy S II General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Thank god. I'll just stick with this TW rom then.
[Galaxy S II General] :

[Galaxy S II General] Cobesz:
Give me the email adres of google and I'll do it.

You can't e-mail google :p
[Galaxy S II General] shabby85:
Far out devs. Don't feed trolls ffs.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
lol. You can email anyone if you know their addy :p
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
I love you
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
Just mail someone through gmail...im sure they are watching and reading every mail...for a good reason im sure
[Galaxy S II General] lovidore:
See that? See all that right there?

That could have been code he could have written into the ROM that could have brought him one step closer to completing development.

Yet he and other devs like him have to keep hauling their asses back here to explain to morons who don't get common sense if it kicked them in the face what the situation is.

Precisely the reason why Ninpo left. It's sickening.

I'm thankful for all the patience he has.
[Galaxy S II General] gattari:
Are you serius?
[Galaxy S II General] Northern-Loop:
Must be true ;) :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] boias21:
To much talk....

in my opinion all of u talk to much and do less, so let the people who really work to do there work.

keep the great job devs....

[Galaxy S II General] supermult:
I wanna give you guys a little hint about the release.

Theres a site called www.cyanogenmod.com. they distribute aosp with their mods (aka cyanogenmod). The first nightlies will be available just a few hours after they startet their buildbot. It's that easy! That will happen when it's done. You could look for the time beetween 2.3 source and the first nightly of cm7. It might take a bit longer or a bit shorter. But i guess longer, because so much has changed.

If you like aosp, go and buy the nexus s...
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I knew it, seems feasible because Galaxy S2 is Sammy's flagship device. After Galaxy Nexus of course. So theoretically, why would they hold back?

[Galaxy S II General] :
All honesty i do not see them holding it back...By end of the year we should have it i say...At the end of the day it makes sense to release it before the holidays so they can make more sales on the handset...Specially if people know they can get ICS straight away if they buy the handset and they upgrade it once they go home or even better sammy implements it out of the box with new models
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah, all that sounds doable. In theory they could just push out an OTA update to ICS, so once someone buys the handset all they have to do is turn the phone on and go to about phone - software update. To me it sounds like the easiest way for them to do it on newly sold handsets. Implementing it with the new manufactured devices sounds like a longer affair to me if I'm honest. I guess we just have to wait and see.

[Galaxy S II General] :
Sure does mate...Just have to wait and see as you say...:) but all honesty regarding ICS one thing that kinda looks a bit off putting is the icons...specially the dock icons..look a bit looney tunes to me:D sure once the themers get the hands on the beast they will work there magic on it.:)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah I know what you mean. When I saw the dock for the first time I was like ewww lol

True that though, once the theme devs get on it mate we will definitely see some magic things happening. :D

[Galaxy S II General] :
Maybe Lord Verty might work his magic...But i must say my fave themer is Rixsta...:) Guy is a legend......But also like Banafen monkey themes...quality...But must say im kinda getting into themeing now...Thanks to vrtheme template(base) its easy to port the theme you want...Still hard work cause you still need to know the structures but what i have tried so far it works....And the one i am using now i just changed the status bar from grey darkish colour to just black...:D so proud of me...might donate to myself for my good work:D
[Galaxy S II General] xelin0:
With the dock icons I really like the Apps one, but the others look kina childish//tacky.

Tbh I cant think towards future adaptations and mods.

I just want a working beta xD
[Galaxy S II General] razor 116:
The SGS II and the galaxy nexus share some of their components with each other, the fact that google stated they worked extremely closely with Samsung on ICS which is clear to see with the camera and especially the launcher, I believe that the time that it will take Samsung to release ICS for SGS II is based on how much they add their features.

Then there goes the only good thing about the Galaxy Nexus besides the screen.
[Galaxy S II General] :
true and that will come in due time....But the dock icons do look tacky very tacky indeed...but i guess its all about what the OS will bring...:) everyone is saying this update will kinda define android as a whole....lets hope they are right
[Galaxy S II General] :
i was actually tempted in getting the nexus and sell my gs2...but the galaxy nexus what only does it for it is the display screen and that updates will be more frequent as the nexus is pure google phone..Nothing else...everything else the galaxy s2 beats it hands down in every component.. my next upgrade is the s3
[Galaxy S II General] willian munny:
OK fellas I didn't read all this thread but I did enough... I think...

So here is what I see after so much boring questions to the devs and some of their internal problems they decided to stop de port of the ics as I saw in sgs2ics.

But if they gonna wait for the Samsung update to do some thing better give up for real! Why you are probably wondering now! To Samsung this update now is a waste of money now is the time of de galaxy nexus and they want to profit from it and after it probably is gonna come another device in the market with ics much better and once sgs2 is completely down they gonna give you the update.

So if you like me want your device running ics support this devs because for now is ore only hope!

Sorry about my English

And come on guys now is not the time to throw the towel!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah, rixsta is a legend. I worked with him for a while on a honeycomb port. I've still got the theme and permission to finish it off. If you fancy having a crack on it with me then let me know. ;)

[Galaxy S II General] razor 116:
Another point is that the next Google phone won't be released until december next year if they remain on the yearly cycle and by that point there will be a Galaxy SIII with a Quad core CPU and a Mali T658, this will be out in the middle of the Galaxy Nexus's lifespan, also I really doubt that Samsung wouldn't include the Galaxy Nexus's screen maybe an improved version e.g. Higher Resolution(Less Likely) or the same Res but with RGB instead of pentile. Super Amoled Plus HD god they really need a new name for that LOL
[Galaxy S II General] :
First off no one is throwing the towel yet..Codeworkx and his team are working on their project now and are carrying on were the others left off. So sit tight and be patient. As regarding to what you said that sammy will not bother updating gs2 in favor of the nexus again you are wrong my friend..Galaxy s2 is the biggest selling android phone of all time if i am not mistaken and the best selling sammy phone for god knows how long now...all honesty i do not see the nexus beating that...So to your response no i still see an ics update coming our way when i do not know but surely if its not by the end of the dear deffo Q1 of next year for sure

sure buddy...haha you and me amazing tag team dude...we give Lord Verty a run for his money:D just messing..but yeah i will PM you once im back after this weekend
[Galaxy S II General] :
True but you are forgetting one thing and i think its the same with alot of people here...The current flagship phone for samsung is not the galaxy nexus..Its the galaxy s2...That is their baby their creation...Yes the nexus was manufactured by sammy but google had an input as far from what i can gather...Next flagship phone by sammy will be the s3....forget about the different variants in other countries like in USA we still are talking about the same phone here..and that is the galaxy s2...different variants yes with minor upgrades but its still the s2 underneath.:)

so for the time being s2 should get an update for ics.:) as regarding the display...well maybe they should get the retina on it..after all its sammy who provided the displays for apple anyway
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Ok mate, that sounds cool. Vert is going to be shocked in amazement lol :p

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II General] willian munny:
Ok i see your point!

But look by the point of view from a company who spent tons of money in new device what they want???? They want to sell and what is the biggest bang on that device hardware? I don't think so ! So if you look in the market the ics update to galaxy s2 is a waste of money to then! If you don't still getting why yet just try to think why some one who already have a sgs2 would buy the galaxy nexus? So this update is just throw money in the bin! And like any other Company what they want is your money! Got that?

And sorry about the mistake I was wrong taking like dead the project but once still alive keep up guys
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
If they don't update the phone, no one who bought a galaxys2 will ever buy a samsung phone again. ;-)

and i've preordered a galaxy nexus because the display is awesome++++, the omap platform is great compared to every other because TI is releasing full sources and the fast camera seems to be a plus (5mp is also enough).

I hope i can make the gnex cooking coffee.
[Galaxy S II General] willian munny:
I say they will update but let's say this gonna come when you doesn't want anymore

I believe for real your update is gonna come months before Sammy

Is a market strategy so we can't wait much from them
[Galaxy S II General] Arkanius:
Of cours they will update to ICS

It's just a question of speed

No one believed Samsung when they updated the Galaxy S to Gingerbread.

Anyhow, I love pure AOSP but I know if I bite the sandwich in Galaxy Nexus I'll kill myself when the Galaxy S3 comes out.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
Well aside from the stupid US carrier (I'm going to blame the carriers for this and not sammy) counterparts who had delayed updates for gingerbread, the int sgs had a relatively fast update. Was it like the first or second non google phone to get it?

Point being samsung is relatively fast. Anyways we are really going off topic with this so lets end this discussion right here and now. I think its obvious no amount of statements are going to change your opinion nor the others or mine, so lets just respect each other's opinions and call it a day.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
looks like we're going to fix the mic problem soon.

but only if it won't be more hackish. we'll see.
[Galaxy S II General] 02ranger:
Awesome! Thanks for updating us. Hopefully you guys will have ICS licked soon, no pun intended. (Ok, maybe I did mean it. lol)
[Galaxy S II General] kobellza:
Thank you codeworkx, really thanks for your hard work :)
[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
What do you believe makes that camera so quick, is it a hardware feature or software?
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Sounds great, keep up the great work as allways;)
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
OP,

Any chance you could put dates next to each item under the working section? It's kinda hard to tell which things are new and which are old
[Galaxy S II General] :
just went to the gs2ics.com and it says the aosp development is dead...does this mean ics port for the s2 and no one is going to work on it anymore until a leak from samsung of ics is released?
[Galaxy S II General] razor 116:
I agree the "Pure AOSP" experience is what I like, the only problem is the Camera App is poor but with ICS that will change.

Thanks for the update.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Team hacksung has been developing since source was released, there still going;)
[Galaxy S II General] compuw22c:
Man... I'm not sure the cause of all this bickering that has ensued... I feel it must be the proliferation and common-place of smartphones these days. I've been rocking xda for some time now, ppcgeeks before that. I've had smartphones since the days of the ppc-6700, even an ipaq and a casiopeia e11 before that (google it, like one of the first windows ce devices ever) and "back in my day" I feel the only people that had these phones were true geeks who both understood the work involved in making these things work, as well as how it feels being a tech support guy with unrealistic expectations and requests.

To be honest, I haven't flipped through all the pages lately of what kind of childish behavior has been going on, but I did see a few posts in the dev thread that were extremely, extremely rude ESPECIALLY considering that these weren't even directed at random members, but the devs themselves. Regardless of how you may feel, this is wonderful GIFT these people are giving you, their time, their talents, their ideas. Would you get a christmas present and tell the person giving it to you that it sucks because it didn't come with batteries? I didn't think so. These people deserve our respect, and don't ever forget that these will be the same people that will be keeping your devices up to date LONG after Samsung has moved on.

You know what other device has an ICS port? THE FRIGGIN' G1! You know why? Because of people like our great devs here. Give them a reason to stay. I'm sure each dev has their own reasons for doing what they do, whether it be to enjoy on their own devices, the feeling of doing good for others, the respect of those who use their work. If you don't like their work (or the manner in which they present/operate producing it), you don't have to use it, but for god sakes, don't spit in these people's faces when they're trying to help us all!

EDIT: On a lighter note, I'd like to say once again I'm very happy to see the progress being made. It does appear that we'll have audio input soon and since the camera for me is something I can do without (at least for a few days here and there for testing :) ) I hope to be testing their work very soon once again. Last one I tried was alpha 7 I think, and I was impressed even then with the level of functionality. Community devs FTW!
[Galaxy S II General] maruchan78:
Fantastic post! We are all totally amazed and thankful for the dedicated devs and what they do. Please excuse the behaviour of the poorly behaved few - they don't represent the real community here!
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
As I said earlier (somewhere in this long thread :D) Im "pretty" sure that the camera is exactly the same one that was in the Galaxy S. The no lag feature is software based, not hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
Thanks Codeworkx, thanks for you hard work!
[Galaxy S II General] zainqaiser:
So codeworkx when would u think it will b suitable to give us a beta release....i mean when would u consider the build is ready for beta release......is it after mic fix or camera fix too???

NOTE: m not askin any eta....just asking what needs to b fixed before we get a beta.....

And thank u so much for ur hardwork....keep up the awesome work :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Wesleyrpg1:
Yeah man i couldn't agree more.....hurry up and release a damn beta!
[Galaxy S II General] zainqaiser:
I am not sayin to hurry up...just wanted to know...what needs to be fixed before we get a beta....
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
If you find the time to answer this, does rotation happen faster now that HWComposer is working? It was incredibly slow and buggy without it.
[Galaxy S II General] hhhans1:
Are you sure that nexus galaxy it will be flasg ship? We saw it for test on a blog here, and what impress us was only the new screen, but in rest was the ICS, not the device itself...this is my opinion. The SGS2 it will be demoted only by a quad core phone....my opinion
[Galaxy S II General] JonesWTF:
I'm gonna make a guess here and say you didn't read the 1st post?

[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
How about you hurry up and grow a few more brain cells. Why don't you

Email Samsung and demand ics for your sgs2, see what they say.

Does nobody remember what things used to be like when developers developed and everyone else just kept their bloody mouths shut.

WM roms were nearly always in a closed Beta until they were ready for release, nobody complained about that.

This thread will be cleaned later and anyone continuing their childish trolling and demanding things from developers will be removed.

Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....
[Galaxy S II General] zainqaiser:
I have been following the thread since start....i have read the first post....i think u did not understand my question....i just want to know if the mic is fixed....will we b able to get the beta or the devs gonna fix everything first before releasing any build...... Thts all i want to know.....
[Galaxy S II General] AshleyTayles:
Having open betas would be crap for everyone, we would have a unfinished, buggy port, and the developers would have several whiney 12 year olds asking why they can't use bluetooth to send their friend the latest Dizzee Rascal song or take a use the camera to take a picture of themselves in the bathroom mirror with their cap turned backwards.

Keep up the good work, and don't let the impatient brats discourage you, I don't think they realise how much work goes into this stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Take notice everyone

Right i am only going to say this once...I already have written that the first post is going to be updated by Monday. Yes codeworkx and his team are carrying on the project. I am gutted that the other guys have stopped, as some of the others guys i been speaking to(Paradoxxx) are awesome and i know how hard they worked but anyway thats water under the bridge now.

What we need to do from now on is be patient and wait for the next release when it happens by Codeworkx and his team. I will be staying in touch with Codeworkx and were there is new info i will update first post straight after. So you guys will be getting direct info from the source itself instead waiting to find updates over twitter and waiting for a video to be released. Some of you already know that i have AdamG update link already up and also i will put Codeworkx own site links up also. But that is on Monday were i will restructure the whole first post again...

Now this is were the fun starts for me..I been reading over the last few pages and all i will say is apart my conversation with Geko95 and few others the rest is full of crap. Do not ask for ETA a release will be out when the build is stable or at least for beta. Anyone pressuring the team to hurry mods are actually watching this thread with hawk eyes now specially after the drama of the last two days. If you want to know regarding more like i said all links and info will be up by Monday...I do not want to have the devs to come here and give info when there is not needed...If they have the time then yes as it would be great to hear from the horses mouth itself(no pun intended) but as far as i am concerned i do appreciate it they have the porting to do so i can understand they will let us know more when they can....

So to recap..Do not ask for ETA it will be done when its done..A release will be done when its stable enough to use for daily use. First post will be updated on Monday when i will return back from my weekend away and also no more crap like over the last few days or else if i see anything trust me as you already see mods are looking at this thread carefully...:)

So enjoy your weekend guys.:)
[Galaxy S II General] AshleyTayles:
The whole forum needs to be this strict. Ever since XDA went "mainstream" as it were, it has turned into what I can only describe to be 4chan with the occasional phone dev. The other day I came across a thread with about 5 memes on a page. XDA needs to get serious again, and the people who tlk l1k3 dis, need to be banned. Bad grammar and punctuation on a board concerning something as phone hacking should only be acceptable if English is not your native language, even then, the use of the letter "u" for the word "you" should not be present on social mediums other than SMS and IM.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Indeed XDA has gotten progressively worse i can see that myself since i joined the sheer amount of duplicate and stupid questions not to mention the whining,moaning and demanding from certain people is well over the top. if i were a moderator id start dishing out temporary bannings people would soon learn.
[Galaxy S II General] TechNoir:
I agree, being banned will not prohibit downloads anymore since those can be accessed by non-registered users. It will just stop some people from claiming these boards as their playground. Just my opinion, thanks to the mods for trying their best.

And to make this a hopefully useful post, I, and surely many others who just lurk and are composed enough not to add to the noise, appreciate that anyone developing on these forums are very valuable, spending their spare time working on creative and highly advanced things, with a will and intention of sharing with others. Thanks to you all.
[Galaxy S II General] FPRobber:
Sorry, I haven't followed this thread very closely, but suddenly I saw

Project (AOSP) is dead for now. CM9 isn't. We will be back with a 100% AOSP experience after Official Samsung ICS release or a leak

What happened? Progress was fast and nearly everything was working! Why would they stop now and did they at least release what they have right now so others can continue where they stopped? I know they were only doing this in their free time, but it would still be common courtesy to release what they have before abandoning it, especially since they've been asking for donations.
[Galaxy S II General] aaksheytalwar:
I did not get one thing.

In the first page in this thread, it is written that HWcomposer has been fixed and is working. But in the same post, there is a new link which points to the current status page and there it is mentioned as not working and not needed.

Is HW GUI working or not? :( Can anybody clarify this doubt please?
