Has anyone got official ICS on nexus S and a custom rom on the galaxy s? How do they compare?

You said that saying you were offensive was 'baseless' and I have proved it wrong by quoting you accusing people of having lobotomies.

Since you have stated your complaint and no more complaint discussion is continuing (as you desire) you should, logically, leave this thread.

By the way, you should start begging quite a few of the most recent posters to stop posting 'off topic' as they don't seem to meet your criteria for what posts should be allowed in this thread.

SGS and ICS

For the past month, I have been playing around putting different roms on my SGS and like alot of people here, ICS users experience is way better then Gingerbread. I don't understand why Samsung can't put out a ICS update for the SGS users. Replacing phones every year isn't in my budget and ICS roms that are out there is given my phone a new lease on life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hicough:
I'm using ICS rc 4.1 for SGS and it's running very well. I can't complain and I'm getting a lot more out of it than before. Running Gingerbread on idle only lasted a day, although I'm sure the previous owner did awful things to it (or something).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] WilliamHicks:
Works just fine on my Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .Slane.:
Perhaps you should read some older posts in this thread (skip all from konjRR, there're useless). They're some issues to bring ICS + Samsung modifications.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sinistr0:
Well, if they don't update our old, but gold, sgs we use the Community works. With the stock rom of my I9000B the battery was down in 53% in on night in stand-by, with the onecosmic rom i'm still in 80% after 6 hours in stand-by.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konjRR:
I agree you should read older post in this thread but should skip .Slane.s since they are completely useless trolling. It is simply explained why samsung refuses to give ICS to SGs. In simplest terms is that they want you to pay for it by buying a new model. And you should understand that a corporation will never do something that they see no profit it. It is very simple basically. So if it is seen as a negative publicity by them then maybe sgs will get ics. But if trolly like .Slane. convince everybody it can't be done samsung most certainly will not do it :D

If u ask him we probably would never had official ginger :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .Slane.:
Perhaps you are not able to understand some technical point of view, unable to seek (too lazy?) datasheet about SoC, partitioning, memory management, etc. etc. But insulting people of trolling when you are just able to argue "Trolling, Stupid, Trolling, Lobotomized" is pretty annoying. I really hope that some moderator will throw you always from this forum that you didn't understand the rules.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konjRR:
Since i already explained to you why none of your "technical speak" arguments are valid i really don't understand why you still insist on trolling this thread?

Could you even look up trolling to find out what it means?

And please read the title of the thread.

And plz try reading peoples post before you respond with insults. Oh i forgot trolls like you tend to ignore other peoples posts. One of their awesome abilities :)

Now return to the topic of this thread "No ICS for SGS, complain here" or leave. And since you already stated you hate us doing what this thread title suggests i really don't understand what are you doing here? Oh yes you are trolling. Forgot. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .Slane.:
You only said "none of your technical argument are valids". You show ZERO technical reason, 100% bull**** like "It's a 512MB Smartphone", well I saif that 512Mb ADVERTISED are based on 512 OR 640 MB SoC, what have you technicaly said ? Nothing. Like All the other technical side (Partition Size, LMK).

Make some complains doesn't mean to never understand why there is no ICS on i9000. If you think that this thread should be full of ****ty posts (and note than it's the ONLY thread you post here !), why not, and it make sense that I won't post anymore if this post is only for childish people. And, why tell me "you hate us" where you're the lone stupid guy without any clue that posting and posting again ?! It's time to see a psychiatrist..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konjRR:
Stop trolling :)

Never said that ever :)

Try reading some of my posts.

They are simple enough even for you to understand even though i see your general knowledge of computer tech is very low. :o

Try understanding English because u cant take half of a statement just like that. Oh forgot. Trolls can :)

And yes it does make sense you stop posting here because you are now very known as a troll so there is no point any more.

The only reason i started posting here was because of you. When i see such awesome trolling i feel obligated to respond.

Now back to discussion with arguments instead of lies and insults or leave plz :)

Ups forgot trolls don't work that way :)

Trolls respond to arguments with lies and insults. Forgot your modus operandi :)

Look at the table, not fully. I believe that the "B" model, the most forgettable model will not be updated. I'm still stuck in the 2.3.3 rom (that has a huge battery drain).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] matsam:
I'm running teamhacksung's CM9 (build 15 and 16) and it's probably more stable and usable than all of the stock ROMs I've used (Froyo and GB).

I can't see how the addition of touchwiz could ruin it THAT much. The SGS is perfectly capable of running ICS, from what I've seen.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

I am running ICS 4.2 from ICSSGS and i am loving it. I didn't try the ics build 16. I your opinion what is the more stable ics rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tzmueller:
I wouldn't go back to touchwiz. Even if/when ICS comes officially to i9000 I will keep using the THS mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrcol:
I dont have a SGS I have the SGA, and I can tell you my phone isnt 2 years old its 1 month old, the fact a 1 month old doesnt qualify for an update is ridicolous.

Especially as I had android fanboys persuade me by saying unlike apple I will get OS updates.

Even worse is that you consider 2 years old to be obselete. when microsoft release a new windows operating system they dont make it only work on 1 year old equipment, they would get a massive backlash yet on smartphones this practice seems acceptable. Also considering smartphones cost a LOT of money especially high end ones its very unreasonable to expect people to buy a new one every year.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] abobobilly:
If you look at this from company's POV, it was more like an OPPORTUNITY for them to sell more high end devices (say, SGS2). I am not mad at them for 'dropping' support for our poor SGS, but i DO get mad when I see Google Nexus S (despite being Google device) is running latest ICS PERFECTLY A'right.

Not to mention their lame comment about our SGS 'not' capable of running ICS or their 'modified' version of Touchwiz :rolleyes:

Anyway, hats off to our beloved CM9 team and OneCosmic for doing us this favor. No doubt those guys are doing a BRILLIANT job for us, free of cost.

Conclusion: WHY WORRY? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] archiv:
I think also that TOUCHWIZ + ICS is the problem....look on the other custom ROMs....every one runs perfectly on i9000.

Samsung just want to promote the new phones.

I never go back to official ROM...why should I ? Custom ROMs gives me much more, are faster and more stable. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Anth1980:
I totally agree with you: :)

i am bit worried, i thought samsung would be friendlier :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konjRR:
Having unofficial XDA support doesn't excuse samsung for their bad support now does it? :confused:

Maybe if they supported it in some way financially or technically, then maybe... But it is very unfair that when you have a problem with your very expensive device you have to turn to XDA instead of getting help from the ones that take your money. :rolleyes:

And the problem is samsung doesn't see any profits in updating SGS :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TnK8iD:
You are right , this Galaxy S that i own is my last samsung's mobile . At the moment

i'm running Ics 4.1 from team ICS-SGS and it's just great , i'm not missing TW at all ,

the new android's release make me forget about Samsung and Kies , but i will not forget the lies about the hardware capabilities.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .Slane.:
Because we can see there's many people unable to read older posts, so they blame Samsung without have some informations. Some dumb people like konjRR that always say the same about "money".

The SoC of I9000 and P1000 have no enough physical memory (read "REAL memory") instead of I9003 (advertised as a 512Mb like 9000) which have 640. ICS + Touchwizz will let not enough free RAM and the LMK will be called more and more. Samsung doesn't want to change user experience with removing their own things.

We have ICS on I9000 with CM9 in beta stage, free memory is a little less than GB 2.3.x + Touchwizz. We can use CM9 with huge RAM eater like games and have the same performance under 2.3.x + TW. Many people here think that TW framework is only ****, but the SMS App modified by Samsung is able to manage my two terrifics 4000+ SMS thread, the CM9 doesn't (force close), so even only making an AOSP ROM by Samsung will change user habits.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HighRoIIer:
overall it would be great if Samsung gives you more control about the rom like which Launcher you want to use. But at the end it is the same with htc or motorola. So i will stick with Samsung. What they can't do, this forum can =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konjRR:
Why are you trolling again?

Why are you insulting again?

And please do share any information we don't have :confused:

p.s. it's not about the money its about helping people because corporations are welfare institutions :D rofl...

Yes it does have enough "physical memory (read "REAL memory")" or whatever ignoratns like you call ram. So stop lying already and repeating that some other phones have more ram. I mean you sound like bad broken record.

Only reason you have less free ram on cm9 than on gb 2.3 + tw is because ics tends to keep more apps in memory. Try installing task manager or some similar app to see how much memory system has access to, if you even know what a taskman app is....

And ffs :) plz stop trollllllllling

To the last reply on here, I haven't even had my Galaxy S for a year yet. I adore the phone. it's leagues ahead of the iphone 4s even, and for it to be utterly abandoned so suddenly despite its success, I find this inexcusable!

I tried CM9, and I love it. But there's a huge *burning* issue I have with it. I'm back to where I was with my dell streak. Playing movies using software encoding only. I *need* my phone to be able to handle mkv, avi, and tons of other formats natively. I can't find a definitive fix or answer on how CM9 will fix this. I really want it to be fixed too... I'm rather crazy about cyanogenmod. :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] daerragh:
This may not be much related to the topic but I don't want to clutter the dev's forum.

How much do we owe to Nexus S for having ICS on SGS? I mean: are we using Nexus S kernel sources to build our ICS kernels? Or at least some SGS ICS kernels?

Are there other things we take from Nexus S to make ICS work on SGS?

I know Nexus S is pretty similar hardware-wise to our SGS, so it appears to be a good move to use its sources for our SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KiretoX:
And the question is ... is Google going to update Nexus S after ICS? Probably not.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wav2000:
Probably SGS hardware won't be capable enough to run V5.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Torlo:
I will run V5 on my next phone-non samsung phone. Samsung is a shame with their support
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Altair77:
I think this ICS thing is only buisness at Samsung so if you want 4.0 you must buy a new phone maybe an S2 or a Galaxy Nexus and most of the users using stock firmware because they can't flash a custom rom or they don't dare to use one (this is the fequent)!Everyone can see that SGS capable to run ICS even with 3 years old hardware...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Torlo:
I am already running custom ics rom but i am still angry and dissapointed with samsungs behavior to users and i never buy a samsung phone again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cspiby:
I was considering getting a Nexus S so I got an official ICS release, but is there any point?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daerragh:
we are using much portion of Nexus S ics sources to build our ics roms, so I believe there's really not much point in buying the Nexus just for the official ics, since we've got pretty similar firmware now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konjRR:
For the same price you can have LG optimus X2 or something similar i think which is about to get official ICS and is a more powerful phone. And software support for nexus phones is not what it used to be (it seems they get only two year of support like most regular phones) so i don't know is there a point of getting nexus phones any more? Well maybe if you want official ICS at this exact moment. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krimos:
First android phone got the ics port... i think the sgs can crack a punch at the 5.0 but i dont know about the performance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] palera:
They (samsung) say that they don't want to release ICS without touchwiz because they don't want to offer a bad user experience to their costumers.

In my opinion, they could release ICS without touchwiz and the people who really care about it should update, and those costumers that think the update ruined their user experience, don´t update or get back to gingerbread. All updates are optional, and there's always the option to go back.

That's how I see thing's should be...

And, by the way, I've seen their release of ICS with touchwiz to SGS II and it looks terrible compared to the ICS on the galaxy nexus... I didn't see their great "user experience"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] konjRR:
When "they" talk about touchwiz they are not talking about the "looks". They are talking about 3g video calls and some other stuf android still doesn't support natively and may never support ( although google buying motorola might change ).

I just don't believe samsung about sgs not being able to rung ics+touchwiz. More or less it just seems an outright lie. And i would prefer any official ICS for sgs to none at all...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unrealwolf:
That's strange, because ALL of official Touchwiz fw's were really BAD, LAGGY 'user experience'.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] striderxda:

It only got one firmware update, so... terrible support too. Then I bought an SGS and, surprise... the same happened...

Great Samsung...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JohnnieDarko:
I think some posters here confuse "support" with "updates for updates sake".

A firmware update is only necessary if the previous firmware had bugs. Anything else is just bonus.

Seeing how Samsung already upgraded the SGS from 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3, we've been pampered already. I understand that some people here can be dissapointed, but calling Samsungs 'support' (you actually mean updates) bad seems harsh. :confused:

When ICS came out, the SGS wasn't even the flagship phone for at least half a year.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] palera:
Yes, I mean updates. But it seems that they don't do it because they don´t want.

Also, for ex. I think the Xperia play never was Sony's flagship phone and it already get a leaked ICS update
[Galaxy S I9000 General] palera:
Anyway, some developers here have been leaking some clues that something might come and others that are working together with samsung to help them to bring ICS to our phone. I'm glad that, at least, they are trying
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JohnnieDarko:
Are there developers from here working with Samsung? Do you have a source or a thread for that?

I'm happily running one of the unofficial ICS ports (the teamhacksung CM9), I'm glad they did, it is so smooth and stable!
