I've just written TMo and Samsung a tweet with a link to the petition, you could try to retweet it and spread the word: http://twitter.com/#!/flapane/status/154278773959835649

I even got an answer, it seems like they received the feedback: http://twitter.com/#!/GalaxySsupport/status/154288026648981505
[Vibrant General] Nabeel10:
No Samsung ICS 'Value Pack' coming http://t.co/UGBZFjjX via @androidcentral #Android

Now that Samsung did this, the petition is bound to be signed by alot and gain popularity.

Thats not getting Samsung ANYWHERE.

Nexus S has SAME hardware as us, and yet their ICS is running great, is it not?

I've asked Wood to make a note about that in the forma letter.

[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
You know what I like, in the link above Samsung claims "...in that they are limited to and fully optimised for the Gingerbread experience." However, the Vibrant hasn't even received Gingerbread. Which in Samsung's words it

is

fully optimized for. On top of that we all know that the Vibrant is capable of ICS. Look at ICS Passion...

@xriderx66, Woodrube, theexel;

Working on the message to send the Dev's. Should be done sometime tonight. When I'm finished I'll PM you guys it for critiquing.
[Vibrant General] VeryCoolAlan:
Touchwiz ICS is gonna be a huge file. I highly doubt they will drop Touch**** and replace it with AOSP ICS.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
if they know that 10k+ people want it, im sure they care about "customer satisfaction"
[Vibrant General] Nabeel10:
You know that's so true, why can't we link Samsung and T-Mobile this thread?

Edit: P. S. I also posted petition on ICS Passion group in Facebook...

500K+ people honestly don't give a hoot or even what version they have. As long as it works.

A minority knows what's going on and manufacturers know this. That's the main reason for custom skins to separate themselves from others.

We are going to have something to expressly answer this issue and will be good for all Galaxy S devices. It will be posted by the end of the work day (5p-EST) today.

Signed petition but im afraid its all for nothing. Samsung does not give two sh*ts about our Vibrant. Stick with custom ICS roms i guess, they are surprisingly smooth but an official update should have been here a LONG time ago. Let's face it, we are not even going to get an official Gingerbread update, its bs to put it midly.
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:
I think that's why everyone else gave up six months ago......
[Vibrant General] Sugartibbs:
Signed.....again, oh well what can it hurt to rage against the machine.
[Vibrant General] younix258:
Well guys, as much as i want an update as well, i think i understand why they havent..

Its a business lol and developing costs money.. then theres the issue of all the bricks that are caused from flashing and why samsung doesnt wanna be putting out an update every two weeks.

I mean if samsung wanted to make alot of customers happy, it could drop a dev into our forum for a little bit to help solve the encryption issue in ics or the battery issue in CM7 etc.. i think thats a better choice than asking for the upgrade

sent from the xda app on my android smartphone.
[Vibrant General] HeavyA:
The issue wasn't the cost or time for dev work, it was that EVERY other galaxy S phone officially got a gingerbread upgrade EXCEPT ours. The dev work was done, but we didn't get it. Personally, that would appear to be more T-Mobile's fault not Samsung. Just saying. I signed this petition months ago as well. Our phones were sunset a long time ago by TMobile (around the time the galaxy S 4g dropped). Oh well, thank goodness for the dev community here for keeping our phones ahead of the pack.
[Vibrant General] kulzboy:

haven't been on the vibrant forums for awhile. this is a bit late since the vibrant is already out of tmobile upgrade period. I'm moving onto the galaxy s iii but I just can't accept the fact that android is so fragmentated in updates. The carriers have a choice to not fragmentating android but all they see is money when they don't do it. this is unacceptable.

I signed the petition. Also, can anyone please give a copy of theie archived Nero v3 ROM? I'm a noob with this cell phone and i wanted to try it out for myself. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Nero is OLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

and i didn't add those extra D's in there for over exaggeration.

Go try a ICS ROM.
[Vibrant General] Fatty1212:
I've tried ICS roms, I wanna try Nero, be nice :confused:
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
well, I looked around the interwebz and can't find a download to that, so go make a thread in General and maybe someone has it?
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Wasn't Nero an eclair rom or one of the first froyo? Talk about going backwards.
[Vibrant General] mikka06:
Nero it's one of the first froyo roms and I think you can find it in sourceforge.net

I use this and my desktop browser:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
This is no longer possible on ICS. I think Google made a BIG MISTAKE in ditching USB Mass Storage mode for the dumbed down modes we're forced to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smashcz:
so there's no way to see system files on windows ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
okay, first off, do you mean the file system like the SD card where you put your data and where things are downloaded?

or do you mean the actual system folder with the Android OS and downloaded apps, because there is NO way to view that how your asking from a PC.

if you mean the SD card, you can view that just fine. plug the phone into your PC and it'll show up as Galaxy Nexus Internal Storage. the storage you see is equilivant to the SD card on older phones.

it uses MTP however instead of USB mass storage. there is a lot of stupid misconception about this.

MTP allows you to have your entire partition for whatever you want. you can have 16/32GB of apps, or 16/32Gb or your storage. Unlike previous android devices with had to have a set partition for apps and then another one for storage, which meant you could easily run out of space for apps. Like on my Nexus One which only had 198MB of space for apps. MTP also allows your phone to access all of the data while you have the phone connected to the PC.

The disadvantage to MTP is that it CAN be a little slower transferring, and some people have issues with it.

but all and all 90% of the *****ing about MTP is just that, *****ing. I've had no real issues at all with mine and i've transfered everything from music, to pictures to video.

only issues i've had is no thumbnails loading for anything in windows, and crashing when trying to transfer MKVs (which was fixed by erasing divx)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smashcz:
yes that's what i meant. I'm surprised there is no program like iphone has http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&h...6&tbnw=150&start=0&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulcheerio:
You dont need a silly program to view your iPhone files...just go into folder settings and allow hidden folders to be viewed. Everything will pop right up.

Could the same be done with the Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
as far as i know, there is no way to access anything other than the /sdcard folder.

if you want access to the system files then you need to buy a root explorer/browser from the market and do everything no your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulcheerio:
I do that already since I no longer have a dedicated computer and only use my Toshiba thrive. Thanks for that. Ill test the hidden folder thing on Wednesday when I get my GNex

[LG Revolution] nap286:
Friend of mine flashed wrong rom. Now phone won't turn on at all. Any solutions?

sent from your moms house
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
A little more details then that.

GINGERVOLTED!
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
A few questions first:

What ROM did he try to flash?

Did he try to flash it through Clockwork Recovery or ROM Manager?

When you try to turn the phone on, does the backlight come on the screen or anything? Or does it just sit there without even making an attempt to turn on?

Flashing the wrong ROM would not hard brick your phone. The install of the ROM would simply fail. If anything, it sounds like your friend tried to flash a ROM and the battery either died or was taken out during flashing. Please post back so we can all try to help.
[LG Revolution] JVT:
He is talking about me

I flashed it through CWM and went to restart and now the phone is dead

No lights nothing no vibrate it simply will not turn on

flashed it with

O2X FLAIR GB v4 REVOLUTION FINAL (based on LG v20L)

for optimus

From what I am thinking The power button is no longer assigned?

I am guessing
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Could you give me a link?
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
So the ROM flashed but when you went to reboot, that's when the phone froze up?

Are you 100% sure there was enough battery life when you flashed it? You really might have hard-bricked it. I figured the ROM would just simply fail installing because that's usually what happens.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I think it might be something with the splash screen.
[LG Revolution] JVT:
The battery was low, but it went to reboot after the install and never restarted
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
The phone shouldn't automatically reboot after an install...
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Were you doing this through ROM Manager or just flashing through Recovery?
[LG Revolution] JVT:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20747850&posted=1#post20747850

I have to wait 5 mins between posts

I selected the reboot phone option.

I had successfully flashed gingervolt but thought this was another option.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

through recovery, Did the necessasary data wipes and then flashed from zip
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
I honestly don't know what to say. If the phone is completely unresponsive then it very well could be a hard-brick. The only thing you can do then is call Verizon, tell them that you had a software update for your Revolution and the phone shut off in the middle of the update and now will not come on at all. They'll probably send you a free one (hopefully). That's really about the only thing I can think of. Have you tried just plugging it in to see if it charges at all? Plug it in and see if either the screen will come on or you at least get the LED light to come on. If not then do what I said a second ago and call Verizon.
[LG Revolution] JVT:
Yeah I get nothing, they are going to send me a new one. Thanks anyway.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Ok cool, sorry I couldn't help more man!
[LG Revolution] JVT:
I was more curious why it happened more than anything, Being phoneless for 2 days sucks too though. I feel naked
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Yeah I've been there, it sucks really bad. The reason why it happened other than the fact that the ROM is for a different phone, is because the ROM has a boot.img that is not compatible with the Revolution. So once you changed the boot.img the phone was no longer able to boot up. At least that's what I think about it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mushinronjya:
I made the mistake of attempting to apply the US region stock ROM to my apparent Europe version (KJ4) galaxy note.

In so doing, it now won't seem to turn on.

However, I can hear it connect and disconnect from the computer if I toggle the power button. I'm assuming it's continuously in the download mode until I get it out? I don't know, since nothing shows up on the screen. Am I screwed? Should I attempt a replacement?

Please help me.. if I posted in the wrong forum, please move the post.

I will give you my first born if you can help me, no strings attached.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
Basically, I'm thinking about trading in my Nexus for an HTC Rezound. Don't get me wrong: I freaking love this phone, and have been dying to get it for months. There's nothing wrong with it.

My issue is that I'm a flash-o-holic. Now that the Rezound has an unlocked boot loader, I'm worried that it will have more ROM options.

With the Rezound, I'll eventually be able to run ISC. it can run sense roms. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like with the Rezound I'd be able to flash everything I could with my Nexus PLUS all of the 2.3 and Sense roms, right? and that means more options.

So, I need some clarification:

Can the Nexus run anything other than 4.0 based roms? (like 2.3 based ones)

Can the Nexus potentially run a Sense rom?

With the bigger development community of the Nexus, am I better of staying where I am?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChickenGod:
I don't think the GNex will have developers that will make ROMs based on older versions of Android... I mean why would they? I feel like the dev community of the Galaxy Nexus will be bigger than the Rezound's. This is a Nexus device and Google has amazing support for their Nexus phones. I doubt the Nexus will have a Sense ROM...

There are plenty of ROMs for the Galaxy Nexus right now... it's just that not all of them are on XDA. Check out Rootzwiki for more ROMs! I recommend axi0m 2.1.

Check out my post here:

Stick with what you have, this is the best phone for flashing roms. This will have the best support considering the support it has already.

~Sent from my Galaxy Nexus ~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
I had an Incredible before, and was in love with it. GREAT dev community and tons of ROMs and development even to this day. I liked CM7 and MIUI, but I put a huge value on always being able to come back to Sense. One of my concerns with the Rezound is that the development and the development community will die after a couple months and the next bigger, brighter HTC phone comes out.

There's been enough of the Rezound vs Nexus threads and I'm sorry, so I want the focus in this thread to be only on the differences in the development, development communities, and which will have a bigger variety of ROMs...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChickenGod:
I honestly feel like the Galaxy Nexus will have more developers because it's a Google phone. It's practically made for developers so I say just stick with this phone. It has the direct support from Google and there is no middle man between software and hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Someone is trying to port touchwiz to the Nexus for God knows why.. I doubt we will ever have sense but I don't see the reasoning you have offered, OP. Saying that you always have sense to go back to to me sounds like you'll always be able to go back to stock sense if an ICS rom doesn't workout or something along those lines.. I know having sense means more options, but anything 2.3 will always be inferior to 4.0 in my eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not sure why you'd strive to flash 2.3 Sense ROMs on any phone if something newer was available.

You do realize that once HTC starts releasing Sense ICS ROMs, the devs will stop working on the 2.3 ROMs, right?

Just remember, development for a Nexus will always be solid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
I'm on axi0m 2.1 right now... its awesome with tons of options.

there are tons of roms out there for the nexus already, but they're all basically the same. Yes, AOSP vs CM9 has its differences, but they're different hues of the same color. I want colors, dammit! and I'm sure it'll get there...

I guess I'm just worried that it'll always be ICS with some slight twists, instead of 2.3 AOSP vs cm7 vs miui vs sense vs ice, etc. I like the idea of having all of those options
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
i guess I just got used to switching up roms every couple weeks or so with my incredible. I'd run a sense rom for a couple weeks, get bored with it, switch to cm7 for a couple weeks, switch to miui, etc.

I don't like the idea of finding one rom, and sticking with it forever, even if all others are "inferior." I like to mix it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChickenGod:
I believe Vicious is working on MIUI for the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
even though the Rezound realistically is the only competition for the Nexus, there:s just the whole "S-OFF" issue. last i heard, they're still trying to acheive that thus no roms yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Remember that the Galaxy Nexus (specifically the VZW version) hasn't exactly been out long enough for there to be 100's of ROMs. Not to mention that it's the first and only ICS device right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
ALL Recent HTC Phones now are unlockable courtsey of HTC themselves

Not exactly sure what S-Off is but all recent HTC phones are capabable of an unlockable bootloader thanks to HTC themselves. This includes the Rezound. HTCdev.com

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bc760:
They still need s off to be able to fully do everything, all that's doing right now is unlocking part of boot loader but from what I hear they still can't flash custom recoverys. Anyhow I love my G Nex and I came from a Rezound I don't even think about going back at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davisbs999:
If Sense means that much to you, maybe you should go with the Rezound (plus it has an amazing screen). Just remember that you won't have access to an optimal ICS build for a while. Sense is cool and all, but ICS is a huge step forward for the android OS.

Plus, the GN will be first in line for all software updates, which will keep its dev community on the bleeding edge. Also, as others have pointed out, dev support will be much stronger (and probably longer lasting) for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blocatan:
The Nexus is a dev device... doesn't get more from friendly than this.
