The flagships have never been about geting powerful hardware in a new release.

Quite simply they've been working on this a long time. Back then 1.2dual-core was the thing to have. And from that point on they optimized the software around that build that was decided upon. Just a matter of timeframes and priorities.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kikiodead:
Still happening?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] roth.7:
That makes sense, exciting stuff for sure!

I cant do anything until I get something for a computer. If anyone has anything laying around..even a ****ty computer it'll help me on my end out a lot. I was finally compiling last night and then BOOM. Fried mother board. (My friend decided to not ever dust it out for the two years he had it and I was foolish enough to not think about it.) And behind on rent I cant afford a computer until after January probably.

So until I have a computer I'm screweddd.

Nice to see some progress... This is the first thread Ive seen with any talk about ICS I thought no one cared... When ever its ready im Ready to Donate!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blitzeratic1:
This is really the only rom I'm really looking forward to. I like variety but ics looks awesome with its features and animations. I know our devs will have one for us sooner then later :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aqualadb03:
it seems like our devs are taking forever....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
it´s also not that easy to port a working rom on ice cream sandwich, because ics is using different drivers especialy for the GPU (that´s why older devices don´t work smoothly on ics)

What sort of motherboard do you need? I have a bunch of parts laying around...2-3 years would be socket 775?

Hey Guess What!?!?!? I have an

24GB RAM@1600Mhz

4 x 500GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive in RAID0

GeForce GTX-280 SuperClocked

Comcast 20Mb/sec (can upgrade to 60Mb/sec if they require)

If this helps I will format the drives and install whichever OS they like and give them full dedicated remote access and control over the machine... I wouldn't even touch it till they tell me it's ok....

As long as we get CM8/CM9 and or MIUI to the t989....

Also I am dead serious..... I can make this available immediately!

YES. We will be getting an official update from Samsung....but no eta from them though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
So the updates are not up to T-Mobile like the vibrant? Would hate to see them not update this phone..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Can you imagine what a mess this would be if they didn't update. They still haven't given us wifi calling yet. This is a big phone for them in terms of sales. More people are educating themselves on rooting and updates. It would be a huge problem if they didn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HRodMusic:

There will be an official ICS ROM, Telus has announced it's in the pipeline for "2012". Vague, but I'll take what I can.

So worst case scenario T-Mobile users can just install the Telus ICS ROM since they are compatible.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] horatiob:
Update: A developer on here did take my offer to utilize my crazy fast machine...

However development has not begun. The hold up however is my fault. Reasons are... that I have a RAID 0 setup which has a fault tolerance of 0. Meaning if 1 out of those 4 drives go bad... all the data is lost across all drives.... So I ordered a 5th drive and when it arrives I will change from RAID 0 to RAID5 so even if 1 drive goes bad we still get to keep all the data by replacing to faulty one.

The drive should arrive Tuesday.... when it does... then I will have to build myself another machine and move my data over to the new machine.... then i will wipe all the 5 Hard Drives install UBUNTU then give the "Developer" remote access.... That's all folks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shehrammajid:
no it doesnt. I recieved the official gingerbread update last month via Kies for the GS4G. Keep in mind that the phone was released in february i think and that's 9 months after release. So I think we should be getting ics sometime in summer of 2012....

Hey look... this question has been asked at least 10 times. Everyone is asking the same question and even regulars on this forum. It's on everyone's "want" list.

However, not everyone posts a new thread asking a very popular question on the thread without trying to find an answer yourself. It is very aggravating to see repeated threads like these pop-up every few days.

You are new to the community - 5 posts, we get it. What you need to learn to do is use the search function and actually read a few more posts (other than the front pages) before asking. Asking a constructive question is fine but there are stupid questions. Questions that you can find the answers to yourself.

were going to have 4 obsolete soft buttons with ICS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Um no we wont we won't get virtual buttons. Home button will be home button. The menu button will be the multitasking button then. The back button will be the back button. The search button will be the search button. I'm pretty sure that's how google wants it now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
We have no idea what ICS on a device with hard buttons will look like. In the future google does not want devices to have hard buttons but there are plenty of devices (190 million+) that have buttons so there will be a solution, we just don't know what yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
It'd be nice to have an aosp ICS rom that would let you to change the soft keys to program shortcuts. I mean why not have that option if the home/menu/back functions will be handled on the software.

honestly I'm not totally sold on the on the removal of softkeys on phones. I need to see how they implement it first. Anyone else wary of this? Why waste screen space?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Google wants to end fragmentation and google never said they want to put an end to buttons. Only the nexus has no buttons. So your saying google is going to fragment their devices even more then they already are it doesn't make much sense. They are essentially the same buttons except missing the search button.

Cyanogenmod your able to remap search long , menu , home, naturally from the settings. Including the long presses and the short presses.

The Nexus Device IS the future of Android. Its where they put features that will be going on other devices in the future. And yes, they have said that. Its why Honeycomb had no hardware buttons and why the GN doesn't either. How is making a standardized button layout across all devices running Android causing more fragmentation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Monk4Life:
Are you serious? Phones will still be made with hard buttons with Android. You think they are going to put the buttons on a budget device's 3.2 inch screen moving forward. I doubt that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
Yes I do think that. You're welcome to your own opinion but everything I have read, watched, heard and seen indicates that google wants to go hard buttonless

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
The nexus one was a future the nexus s and galaxy nexus are nothing to be impressed about. Half the features in ice cream sandwich were in miui and cyanogenmod. Lets not mention on why the galaxy nexus is failure of a device compared to a galaxy 2. Ice cream sandwich biggest feature was hardware acceleration and the new api's they released for it. All the articles state that google may follow suit if the button less idea works out its no different than how nintendo experiments with new idea like the wii and 3ds. Will we see less physical hardware buttons yes. But capacitive will still be here as your able to make capacitive buttons rotate as like the Desire S. Google is a business first. Android makes money off different hardware meaning options. Everyone one doesn't want the same phone. Android is not yet were it can be one phone for all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Serious_Beans:
Android doesn't make money off anything, it's open source, free, for anyone to use, Google doesn't make money from it directly. Just because "half" the features were in cm doesn't mean it wasn't implemented better. Its not just about having the features, its about them working fluidly and nicely with the OS.

I personally love CM, pretty much the only ROM I use, but I prefer how it was done in ICS, and also yeah the devices that have buttons will still have them and for a while the devices that were already planned will probably still have them, but they will get phased out sooner than later.

It will never be one phone for all, that's the point of it, its about having options but hardware and software are different. As far as ICS goes, most tech blogs and people that really understand the way these things work realize that ICS is big, because now the end user, the normal consumers who don't root will get great features without having to worry about rooting. Google fixed it up for them and gave us an even cooler OS to mess with. Also the galaxy nexus is a great phone, the gpu isn't THAT week, its clocked at nearly double what was in the Nexus and iPhone 4 and my nexus never lags in games and the iPhone 4 ran infinity blade flawlessly.

They did a great job with the phone and the direction the OS is heading, I really believe that. But that's just my opinion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
As I said android makes money off hardware differences in devices. Which is indirectly. I'm not talking on the gpu every is created different and we all will be running android so its up to the developers to optimize applications. Regularly an average user would not pick up a galaxy nexus. Certain aspects as internal memory is nice. But expandable memory will always be better. Especially since 720p displays are the new thing on android phones.

16 gigs of internal memory hardly enough for movies and music and any other applications that install to the memory card. 32 gigs is hardly enough depending only the quality and encoding of the movie. For display most users can tell the difference as well between a rgb and a pentile matrix display. We all know rgb is superior to pentile matrix.This is something that can be easily seen with the eye.

The nicest user feature for people who don't root was the new ui and the way to make folders. Ice cream sandwich name was probably meant for integration because that's basically what it is. The galaxy nexus is a fine phone but not better than a galaxy 2 even for os updates unless you want them one month ahead of people. The sad thing is miui team and cyanogemod team will implement ice cream sandwich better than google:confused:. Buttons won't be phased out as now any phone that is 4.3 is now 4 inches. Any 3.7 inch phone is even smaller. Unless doing certain things like watching movie etc.

Galaxy nexus is better than the nexus s. But its just not worth it for galaxy 2 users or anyone who has essentially the same specs. I have no problems with buttons be phased out eventually. But google won't leave users with useless capacitive and physical hardware buttons. As the previous poster said. As for buttons any phone probaly smaller from 4.3 inches will get them.
