Seems the rumor mill has started about Samsung retracting their decision because of consumer demand.

Grain of salt as it's unconfirmed, but still...
[Captivate General] BoulderGeek:
I happily returned my Craptivate in only two weeks.

So much happier on an Htc Thunderbolt with open GB Rom. Night and day. I wanted to love the Sammy, but couldn't.
[Captivate General] studacris:
So.....happily go back to the tbolt section and stop trolling in forums of a phone you hate. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
I hope they release it, but will be difficult to optimize or remove touchwiz....It would be awesome to have the release tho..so CM team can make their ICS version mores stable..;)
[Captivate General] RAID Xero:
So which it? Is it, or is it not going to get ICS? I mean, the title says one thing, yet there's a link that says otherwise. Two conflicting views in one spot. I'm stunned.
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
Read the dates of the OP and the article posted.....Samsung first said they will not release ICS for Samsung Galaxy S...but another news (rumor) came out that they are reconsidering their decision....But nothing is confirmed...so still no one can say if we will have ICS update or not...

Also, even i9000 get official ICS update, i doubt ATT will ever let Samsung to release one for Captivate...as they want their costumers to buy new phone...
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
It's very likely that the delays have been caused by the changes in the bootloaders. Flashing bootloaders is risky and is known to cause problems.
[Captivate General] :
This is the latest from this site:

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ing-value-pack-instead-of-ice-cream-sandwich/

SGS might be getting ICS with features removed
[Captivate General] Exel:
If any of you fellow Galaxy S users would like to give us Vibrant users a hand..

Thanks. <3
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Nothing to see here, move along

So much for the value pack rumor... looks like CM9, ICSSGS or one of the other ports is going to be the only way to get ICS on the Cap

http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/0...-deliver-value-pack-for-galaxy-s-smartphones/

Of course... it would be nice to actually have Gingerbread (and the full source) drop:mad:
[Captivate General] :
Well, who cares if Samsung or ATT ever post an ICS update. With the great work of our developers, ICS will make it over to our cappy! I made the upgrade tonight to ICSSGS and loving it... super smooth!
[Captivate General] wjohnson:
Agree

This! Two Thumbs up
[Captivate General] Cor-master:
I guess I just can't complain myself. Samsung has done their part supporting the Galaxy S for 2 years or so. Too bad AT&T can't... God where the hell is that gingerbread update? At any rate I can upgrade in April, and i probably will.
[Captivate General] ttjoseph:
There are enough SGS users out there that it's hard to imagine the ICS ports (CM9 etc) not being rock solid soon enough. Even now the Teamhacksung port is good enough to be a daily driver on my Captivate. And I haven't tried anything else yet. What do we need Samsung for? :)
[Captivate General] tartutic07:
thanks for the info
[Captivate General] SkiddMark:
Agree. The Alpha CM9 (Build12) is already a vast improvement to the nightly CM7 I was using prior.
[Captivate General] armeck:
Agreed it is quite polished...:D

[Captivate General] snowake:
I have had a 1001 build since the first week out and my GPS only now works well with the UCKK4 update. Most said it was a hardware issue, but KK4 fixed it.

It would make sense to not release updates in order to spur further sales, but the consistent lag in updates, that do not even fix existing issues, makes it a very bad move from a consumer sentiment standpoint.

I am on your boat MM. I was set on SGS II until this past summer when the GPS issue still wasn't fixed. So, what manufacturer you switching too MM?
[Captivate General] sola fide:
I'm praying for a flagship HTC Android phone in Q1 or Q2 of this year. I think it's doubtful, but I would rather risk it and wait than jump to another Samsung and regret it in a year.
[Captivate General] cangzhang:
yet we still have cm
[Captivate General] popfan:
It also looks like an up and coming Miui port is coming along (needs to solve data problem) and along side CM9 there is a pure AOSP build from ICSSGS that I think is a lot smoother than CM9 (everything works - just small issues - much like CM9)
[Captivate General] brentett:
This is sad, I feel the captivate is more than powerful enough to run ics.
[Captivate General] Cor-master:
I went from a Samsung sync, to an eternity, to a mythic, to the captivate. I have no issues with samsung, they make good phones, and I've had better luck with them holding up than other manufacturers. I'd like to give HTC a try but I'm not eliminating Samsung from the possibility of buying another one.
[Captivate General] jaychoutzj:
Bad news!hateful Samsung!
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
Sammy:

Since you finally decided to release the outdated KK4 GB Rom today, I couldn't bear the thought of being on the same boat as you. Goodbye KK4 leak, hello teamhacksung ICS build 13. F.U. Samsung for lying about the Galaxy S phones being not capable of running Android 4.0. F.U. very much.
[Captivate General] shuyin1102:
So sad. I thought i could use my cappy for its lifetime...
[Captivate General] silver91342:
It's been proven before that At&t is the hold up just look at how long ago KK4 actually was leaked? I don't see why people continue to to blame Samsung. As for ICS they never said it was incapable, just that its was difficult to implement with TouchWiz (space in ROM for both) and they won't do it as pure ICS. And even if they did what makes you think At&t would push it to a 2+ year old phone when they already carry 3 SGS2's (SGSII, Skyrocket, Skyrocket HD). I hate to say it but Cappy's already had much love from Samsung contrary to what people think. ICS is already in dev for I9000 and has leaks out so at least their giving it a shot.

BTW: I had a Captivate (now SGSII) and also run 3 other Captivates for family members since its release, so I can tell you Samsung has improved a lot from the early days
[Captivate General] yguns76:
My next phone will have to be a Pure Google experience. For now my captivate will suffice since it was an upgrade over the HTC Magic. The captivate will suffice for most of my needs for another year at least.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

Wishful thinking. The captivate was released prior to Goolge making that 18 month commitment. The captivate will not get updated. It will get the ICS Pack (big deal).

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Teamhacksung has done great work.

It is still a beta and I do not think it is ready yet to be a daily driver for everyone. Reading the last comments on build 13, reboots during call is a critical bug despite the workaround. I would say to proceed with caution for anyone thinking about flashing it for daily use.
[Captivate General] Cor-master:
I really wanna go with a nexus series phone next but I am reluctant to switch carriers. I am sick of playing the update waiting game, and sick of having to root and put a custom rom on to keep my phone up to date. Custom roms rock until you have to make a warrenty claim, and then its scrambling to get back to stock etc. I was really hoping for a galaxy nexus announcement at ces instead we got 5 more android phones with an outdated os, that will be playing the waiting game for updates too. I'm kinda anxious at this point for a new phone, and i can upgrade in April. I might look at a Windows Phone if there isn't a nexus or at least something that was built for ICS.
[Captivate General] :
I've been running Build 13 for awhile with Glitch v14 Preview 5 and I can say its given me no issues whatsoever. Issues usually spring up when people don't install fresh which is something I always do to avoid minor issues. I installed JF6, CM7 then Teamhacksung Build 13 with factory reset and cache wipes after each installation and haven't experienced these minor problems being posted about. Its usually an error with the user than the ROM when majority are working well and small issues pop up. Its stable right now
[Captivate General] conundrum768:
Samsung has done just fine by me. Remember they have to sell new models just like any manufacturer. I will have my SGS until it stops working. That doesn't mean that I won't buy a new device.

They have advocated themselves just fine, in my book. HTC is a great manufacturer too. But, I would not hesitate to replace my cappy with SAmsung device.

Swyped from my B&N Tablet
[Captivate General] brievolz84:
My next phone is going to be the SGS II until a decent HTC comes out for AT&T or a Nexus version of the SGS II. I'll never sell my cappy solely because it will make a great backup phone when flashing goes awry and there are a lot of people out there still developing on it.

A couple of posters said that CM9 and ICSSGS are developing an ICS port so in essence ICS will be coming to the cappy. From a developer standpoint it would be nice to have everything open that way developing can be that much easier. But, come on, most people I know who code and develop do it because it poses a challenge for them. Just saying ;)

It would be nice to check out ICS, once a stable vesion comes around I'll be the first to flash it (don't know enough about os stuff to alpha/beta test or develop, yet)!
[Captivate General] hazphaz:
samsung and AT&T may have given up on the captivate but i know a few ppl who havent.... :)

Running Alpha build 13 here. thanks team hacksung
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Here is what i've been playing with since I stopped official deving.

This is a 2nd init'd Eclipse 1.3 nandroid that has had almost all apk's but the essentials removed.

It also has

Bytecode verification disabled to speed up dalvik vm operations

2nd init (Boot phone with USB Early Enum option to test)

99 Tweaks (Modified to work with the next script)

V6 Supercharger (Option 6)

3G Turboboost (Option 5)

EGL Fix makes it use hardware rendering all the time

Roboto font included (ics font)

Speedy V7

Galaxy nexus- like speed on homescreen

themed like the galaxy nexus

Unthrottle

Removed swype and many other apk's

Market and most android essentials left in

No more ram leak!

Included MIUI Locker and black ice theme to match

Note: Playing around too much with the drawing related settings in go launcher may make it render like crap for speed and necessitating it to be reset losing all my theme related customizations.

This needs to be installed on 2.3.4 http://www.multiupload.com/Z3VW0YVSL3

For Eclipse Barebones 1.3 V2 (W/O MD5 Fix) ONLY http://www.multiupload.com/5Y2GSUEWRH (This is a replacement MD5 sum file for the rom, replace the nandroid.md5 file)

Black ice theme instructions

Download and place in /sdcard/MIUI/theme

http://www.multiupload.com/Y7GI8UNOEO

Thanks goes out to Nitro (For eclipse), MIUI Dev's (for MIUI locker), cgvelmax (Black Ice theme) and finally the go launcher devs as well as all of those whose scripts I used in the making of this!
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Nice can't wait to try. Will report back w/results.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
this is still for 2.3.5, correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Sweet and thanks but whats the EGL fix? Google didnt turn up much in "my kind of English" :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Only thing I can think of for that is what I see when smartbench does it's GL tunnel and GL jellyfish tests. Wondering if it makes that perform better?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
All I heard is like the adults in Charley Brown. I will have to investigate further into this so I understand anything you just said lol

I have never used smartbench or and quadrant testing or whatever the kids are doing these days :) Thanks :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I use smartbench 2011 it's optimized for dual core testing

I also have the donate key so I can view reach individual score

And it also allows me to store history of past tests on my sdcard do I can compare(even if I do a data wipe)

Sorry for hijack ace
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
So I unzipped the rar and put it inmy nandroid folder and went to restore. now all my backups are md5 sum mismatched wtf
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Uh oh spaghetti o

Now I know to switch out my sdcard when I go on break
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I take it im fu*ked? I had my backups on the internal sd card and the ace backup on my external too
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Thats strange. I made it with the bsr so it should work. Cache and data were wiped when I made it which would make it universal

What did you restore with
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I tried restoring with BSR and unzipped the rar on my phone with astro
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Astro messed it up or bad download most likely. A lot of the phone based file extraction tools don't have 100%a support... its more like 99%. Zip is the only format I've seen that seems to work right on the phone. I cannot think of why its throwing a md5 mismatch on your backups now. Are you able to boot and delete mine. There may be a way to override that check too
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I am trying I did a data factory reset in BSR and didnt have the stock luancher on in liberty so I am gonna try going into libert customizer and restore the blur hom option they give. DO you think if I get that far and delete your backup, uninstall bsr and reinstall I might be able to save my backups? I cant see how it fudged up my internal sd backups...thats why i put them seperate lol
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
I can't either and it really sounds like either a bad copy of mine or bsr is just screwing up.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I have home up but my root browser is gone so I am using native email to download market and then reinstall root browser and then reinstall recover after deleting the backup....fingers crossed...on a side note my phone is hella fast and responive and 3g is unusally blazing fast....BSR did this mismatch thing to me once before when it froze during a restore. none of the others would work so I had to sbf repeatedly until finally everything worked as it should
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
I forgot to include the egl fix. Its a simple fix that I will upload for you guys. I was wondering why it seemed a little pokey
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Im gonna sbf I cant seem to push file manger to system/app

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Is there a way to use a backup if the md5 is mismatched? it still is?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Why do you have to download market?

Does this backup not have it included?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
It wouldn't restore remember
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Same thing here.

Started over fresh and SBF'd to 2.3.4 then redownloaded the files from the link supplied here and replaced the MD5 file and still getting mismatch.

Repeated this process several times and get the same mismatch ...

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Ok I guess I am going to have to totally reupload it then. I am getting some cleaning done around the house and then I will get around to that. Sorry about these problems. The only reason this is in nandroid format is so that way it will have the scripts configured properly as they store stuff in /data/ although I suppose I could make an edify script that extracts /system/ and /data/ from a tarball in the worst case.
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Yes I would like to know this as well since I have lots of music and pictures and stuff that could potentially be erased. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
I am seeing the same thing happen too.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

I replaced from the pc. I also unzippd from the pc as well which worked perfectly on the last release.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
ace, sorry this is being stupid, and i cant wait to try this honestly

now ace, why are you only doing this for the eclipse roms? im just curious on why you picked those roms instead
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
It appears something went terribly wrong when my phone made the nandroid. I am going to just make a tarball for it instead I think. Just pull my /system/ and /data/ partitions and have it copy them. It's how the CWR 5.x backups are now as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Could it be that a zip may be easier? I have never seen one fail.:)

Thanks for the plug btw ,a reply to the ReRecv thrd may encourge people to it.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
I am doing it for eclipse as it has a nice set of AOSP apps and it is mostly ICS themed already. I love ICS as far as it's theme goes so it seemed logical to use Eclipse. If I get enough requests I might do a different rom. This is more or less for a fast daily driver with 2nd init for my developing needs I am making available. It appears that the first release has already stirred some new dev'ing with 2nd init already as well.

Edit: You will take a speed hit and lose the near galaxy nexus speed on the homescreen if you have three screens full of transparent widgets like I do lol. It is still very quick at least. I would compare it to feeling like it almost has an aosp rom on it at this point.
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Hey aceoyame,

I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your hard work.

I'm a developer myself and i just can't seem to get past the mismatch either.

To be safe, I stepped away and came back (to get a fresh start) and started over fresh on two seperate devices and got the same mismatch on both. I don't usually miss something this easy to do.

Your work is beyond outstanding so any help you can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks ace!
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Yeah I think nandroid is the wrong method with this. Even Koush (creater of CWM and CWR) switched away from .img format and switched to tarballs.
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Yep, I think you are right about that. :D

Please let us know when you re-upload this. I really can't wait to give it a go!

And thanks again!
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
well, i cant wait til this is released

i cant wait til 2nd init AOSP roms come out for the dx2, its going to be snazzy and definitely fast

you and the other devs are awesome and know your stuff and i know we all appreciate greatly
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Right now I would say our Blur roms are approaching AOSP as far as quality goes. Speed I would say were at about 60% of what we could be at.
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Definately +1 on that!!!

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

Do you think the Blur roms will every reach the speed of the ASOP/ I not particular on Blurr. I like the look and feel of the ASOP roms myself. I think Eclipse is one of most stable roms I have used.

What's your thoughts ace?
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
if we ever get our unlocked BL then we could easily port over AOSP ROMs, but by the looks of it I honestly don't know if we're going to get it or not, but I hope AOSP takes completely over the blur-ed aspects of the ROMS we have now and completely kills the blur and replaces (and works) with the 2nd init. I've ran the OG Droid on CM7 and it was actually pretty cool (of course this is a phone that isn't activated, but I was trying to flash it over to cricket).
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
2nd init does indeed do that. Well we already have 2nd init now. It's just a matter of making the stuff for it. Just sucks we don't have a device to base it off of. We are going through the same stuff team Defy originally did. Speaking of which, they would be good to go to for some help with this.
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
I agree to that!
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
i didn't realize that you guys are doing this from scratch, wow. I need to definitely learn somethings or learn as I go so I can try to help, i've already got linux running and adb, I just don't know much about this stuff to help, which I would love to be able to, but I'm not sure where to even start at..
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
There is an android secure img present in the latest from mega ul. Should it be there. I pasted the md5 it did compute buy no go.
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Ace said he was going to totally re-upload it later. I pasted that MD5 too but it was a no go.

We'll have to wait for the re-up. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Finally!!!

I figured it out and got it to work ace! :D

The mismitch was a pain :( but after several hours I was able to actually create a new and correct MD5 and regenenerate it from your files. It took a lot of work on my part, but I finally got an MD5 created that worked. I went ahead and have applied it, installed, & Boom! Nice Rom!

All I can say is DAMN THIS IS NICE AND FAST!!!!! :D

Looks like Droid X2 is a Nexus now! :p The speed on the home screen is simply amazing!!! I love the lock screen! Just like the Nexus. Man you put your work into this one. OMG the 2nd init is working like a charm. EXCELLENT. I'd be glad to lend a hand if you need someone to assist in some dev'ing when or if you need something done. (Dev'ing for 20 years)

Ok, I attached the MD5 so everyone can enjoy this awesome rom too!!!

1. Unzip on the pc to be safe.

2. Replace the MD5 file you just unzipped with the one in the clockworkmod folder on your device.

3. Then boot into BSR and choose restore and restore from his folder.

Please don't forget to leave me "Thanks" It's free and it's a nice thing to do!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
If its small do it in your post. Zip is up to 11.8 mb
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Oh please do.
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Here you all go!

Ok I got the file. Here you all go! Just unzip on your pc first, then replace the one in the folder on the device in clockwordmod, then WALLA! NEXUS!

Please leave thanks! It's free and it's a nice thing to do! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
okay, unzip then flash, sir?
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Yep,

Here is what to do:

1. Unzip on the pc to be safe.

2. Replace the MD5 file you just unzipped with the one in the clockworkmod folder on your device.

3. Then boot into BSR and choose restore and restore from his folder.

[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
The OP has the md5 fix but no link for the new nandroid
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
earlier the nanobackup was a rar file now it is a zip is this still the new version in the OP?
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
The MD5 that is attached to my post is the correct MD5 to use. I believe he updated his link in the op. Hope that helps!
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
bombs!!! @ big m, rerecov saved me twice. naned back to 413.
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
You don't need a new nandroid. Use the one that is on the link now. That is the one that is working with the fix MD5. :D

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 PM ----------

Hey, What happened?
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
This needs to be installed on 2.3.4 http://www.multiupload.com/5Y2GSUEWRH

Links to nandroid.zip file size 258 bytes. Unzipped, contained an md5.

What happened to the nandroid?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I applied the new md5 flashed md5 ok. Ran RR. Stalled @ big m. Battery pull (ppp). wiped all Rr Stalled @m ppp nandback RR.

So if on 234 it would have been good? So the guy it worked for on 235 may have been on 412? Not 413?
