Err? Not bustin yer nuts or anything, but you do release that both the SGSII international has an official ROM, the Galaxy Nexus has an official ROM, etc. etc. My comments weren't aimed at the devs, I specifically said that Sprint released an ICS ROM for the Nexus and that the Epic 4G had a CM9 port. I'm more than happy with what are devs are doing, just annoying to me is all.

A whole lot of *****ing in a single sentence? LOL. I've seen people flipping the **** out. I've been patient and will continue to be patient, I just find it frustrating when I open up my Android news blogs and see a bunch of Sprint phone's getting official and unofficial ICS ROMs and our top of the line phone is left sitting in a corner sulking.

FYI, I can't believe it :D CM9 experimental is being flashed RIGHT NOW :D Yay Scott :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Haha this is how I found out about CM9 this morning. Saw your awesome post, looked and had to run to the bathroom haha. Almost took a **** in mah bed.

The nexus is not only a google supported phone, it has been out for a little more than a year. Also the devs at the epic 4g forums have been working on cm for over a year, they deserve to have it officially supported now (the devs, not the people who complained the whole year).

Calm down and we will have cm eventually...

Omg I will jizz in my pantalones when we get ICS. A guy at my work has it for the Evo, but this phone will run it way better.

For everyone that is upset we don't have it, their build just recently became stable. So it should be released fairly soon.

Hells yeah.

If they don't do something to improve the Android System and Android OS chugging battery like it is currently, I will try it but it wont be my daily until those issues get ironed out. I hope our official release is at least 4.0.4. Why do you think Google stopped the OTA rollouts? Battery life has been doo doo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
for those of you mad that we don't have it

freak'n relax. first page has a guy that said "I don't think we're ever getting it"

pretty much no phones have it yet other then the nexuses (nexi?). so unwind your panties, put your patience pants on and relax

I'm happy this thread is here though, I wanted to thank Steady Hawkin for his update but didn't want to do it in a dev only thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have used every source build and kernel made for NS4G and,I am seriously considering going back to CM7 when my replacement Nexus comes on Wednesday. 10 hours with 2 hours screen on time and people are happy because it looks pretty...I will roll with one of our ICS themes unless our official is magically reworked to be at least as solid on battery as what we have now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I had the same problem running cm7. The best way to get rid of the Android OS bug is to find out what apps are causing it, and then removing them from /system. Just look for apps in the market that shows usage, and eventually it narrows it down. A lot of my apps were syncing and I had no idea, so just check it out.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Definitely not pining for ICS. Have it (pete alfonso nightly) on my NS4G and it's nothing to write home about really battery-wise.

Waiting on AdamG of Oxygen ROM to do his ICS magic for the NS4G before i bother about it.

I get that daily use isn't super close but what about just throwing us a bone? like a nice alpha build that is buggy as ****? Just wondering I mean its such a tease to see it in a ss that it does boot. If not that's cool but I haven't asked yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
Only reason is because if sb release it in its current state . Their will b over hundreds of comments complaining bugging saying things we know are wrong with the rom. And only reason their was ss was to shut the whining up.

Sent from my SPH-D710 with ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Whining will always be present. That ss was just a small fix for the whiners in the forum. It's very hard to please people who feel entitled to have everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
It's a good idea...too many flashed their E4GT with the International SGS2 ROM in Odin and bricked it even though after the first two there was several posts in almost all of the subforums for this device saying "DO NOT FLASH ANY INTERNATIONAL ICS ROM"

That and the fact that if it is released with a single bug suddenly there are a ridiculous amount of people getting pissed that it isn't perfect.

"Installed the ICS ROM. No file manager or 4g and battery life is not as high as it was on CM7"

Like several others have said-It's the whiners that ruin it for everyone else.

I was tempted to try my hand at development but seeing as how I'd be expected to hand out ETA's and if I didn't I'd be blacklisted or something because I'm not working fast enough.

I'd give ETA's if I feel that I have a good estimate but it's not something to be expected from someone who does it all for free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
IMHO, if you have access to an "alpha" of ANY rom/build/os that is so buggy that you can't really use it, you'll end up getting "burned out" of it, and not enjoying it when it finally is released in working order ..

I know that's what happened to me after I flashed the initial build of the "international" version of ICS on my ET4G....

Yeah, it was cool to see, and play around with for a bit, but it really ended up as kind of "the end not justifying the means", if you catch my drift.

Personally, I'd prefer waiting for a build that actually works, than throwing something on that is going to perpetually let me down, performance-wise and compatibility-wise.

Maybe it's just me, though.

Anyhoo, I'm comfortable just letting these guys take their time in doing it right: I'm having enough fun right now customizing that sslauncher thing....It feels like a completely new build of Android all by itself.

T.C.P.: You and the other guys you're working with can take all the time you want to do it the right way ...

Personally, I'm all good here.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
If you don't want to be pestered with questions, don't post pics of ICS and put it in your signatures....oh wait thats right you wanted the attention:rolleyes:

And who cares what state it is in, is it open source or not? Enough with the BS argument that its to make sure its good enough. Its a control thing plain and simple. I don't remember any such arrogance with Gingerbread either.....but that was another time.

Have we all forgotten what open source is?

You guys are all awesome. Thanks for keeping things peaceful! And I'm sure the devs do too!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
Is the way people act a cdma thing? I come from a Samsung captivate GSM and a Atrix there wasn't as much demand it was more thankfulness. We will get ics relax guys i love xda and all the devs. Find ways to give back to the community instead of giving headaches. Just my two cents
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's the kind of response I wanted...one from someone testing it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree. I used to test 2 ROMS, 2 kernels and 3 themes a week on Epic. It takes a special person to knowingly flash something when you know that things wont work (some unknown) I fried several SD cards (bye pics and music) to those that are testing, stay positive and thanks! I will just mess with my NS4G until then. The kernel development is going nuts for ICS. T.C.P., try Nova Launcher!

Dude this phone will run ICS fine, when it is ready. I'm pretty sure the developers want it fully ported, just so they don't hear people *****ing about not having a stable build. It will be here soon.

And all of those other phones suck (no offense to any other phone), compared to this one. Many people are probably just waiting it out for the Nexus, as there was a TON of development for the Evo. I couldn't stand that turd, so I jumped and got this phone.

Point is, it will be worth the wait. TCP, and SteadyHawkin said it is very soon. Just relax. Keep watching YouTube videos to get your fix. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I wonder if we will see ics from Samsung soon? It has been over 3 months. The first ICS phone has been out for 2 months. Any glimmer of anything from that front yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Not sure if trolling but I'll bite...Samsung said they wouldn't release the ICS updates for certain devices (E4GT is one of them) until the 1st quarter. The carriers get a hold of these updates and then start doing whatever it is they do besides delay the damn thing until it gets pushed out to the masses. We won't see anything official for quite a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MaliceOmega:
One thing I've noticed having had both GSM and cdma phones is that while GSM dev starts up much faster it ends up getting stale for the most part. On my nexus s GSM after the first few months new stuff rarely came out. The only thing I found to sate my flashing fix was morfic and his never ending slew of awesome kernels.

On the flip side I've noticed that while cdma dev takes a bit longer to get off the ground the releases are spaced out so u don't get bored lol. Another thing to realize is that the cdma community is the minority when it comes to phones. Almost everywhere else GSM rules the road. So I'd rather have a handful of dedicated devs working to bring us new stuff than a crap load of devs releasing the same rom kanged 7 different ways /2¢
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
I personally would rather have a fully working release rom, than a bunch of alphas and betas and keep having to flash/wipe etc.

Thanks for the hard work TCP/Steady Hawkin et al, don't let the whiners stop you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
I understand what you are saying but you also don't have to flash anything....I am a flashaholic I don't stay on a ROM more than a couple days but the good thing is you learn to set up a ROM quickly..

I also like to flash alot beta and,alphas probably what has got me interested in development...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
I think it's definitely a cdma thing... Because when I was over on the vibrant the atmosphere was a lot less tense... And it's not just the members here that can be douche baggy some of the dev here are pretty **** like too but I guess that just comes from being pushed around by douche bags... Some of the people around here need to take the potato chip out of their butt and just laugh a little... XDA used to be fun...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I will patiently wait for ICS. I wish I could contribute to the development but unfortunately do not have an internet connection at home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
1) I agree that we all should be patient.

2) I disagree that we should put out an Alpha for the some (not all) that will be disappointed with bugs. This would more than likely create more problems than give relief to a herd of zombies hunting for human brains.

My only constructive criticism and maybe help for the masses is this. Maybe do an ICS build update/status video and upload it to XDA-TV or You Tube. I do not know if that is possible or if it would be too much work along side developing and all that. As a matter of fact... I know nothing about developing.

However! I do compare it to this.

I have a medical scanning machine that I do maintenance on, that the customers are scanning patients on- at $400, every 15 minutes. Calibrations take 6-8 hours and work 50% of the time with a pass/fail status, and if it fails you start from scratch from the beginning. The calibration can take 6 to 8 hours or days. The machines only need calibrating every blue moon or so, but when they do, you can guarantee the owners are breathing down my neck asking how much longer it will take because they are loosing money. At $1200 an hour, I would be asking a lot of questions also.

I have heard developing the kernel takes close to 20 hours to compile on their personal computers. Who knows what the pass/fail rate is or if they have to start over from scratch.

They work for free and when I find out who they are I do plan on donating because dam, I know it is work they are not getting paid for. (They have to wait for payday though, lol)

The people who are complaining need to relax a little. Even I scour the internet looking for updates daily. But I will never act like I am loosing money or it is my right to have ICS before Sammy/Sprint puts out the official update. Even then, I don't actually think I will want ICS. I think I will wait till the Devs have had enough time to really make a speedy, no (or little) bugs ROM that has all functions working at the most efficient level.

Now for some laughs.... My first you tube link will be Android laughing, when will we get this function from google?

What I don't understand is yea we all want ICS but do you not have your phone running like a monster already oc'd..with alot of ics add ons like cam messaging themes? **** my phone is pretty much a ics clone.. everyone needs to relax and understand that even if the devs are holding out then it must be for a reason. So unless you can make it yourself STFU please.... lol

You misunderstood me, I meant the port we've been seeing for our phone seems to be a aosp version. ICS built from its dev kit.

Because there are different versions of AOSP, too. As in, Gingerbread has AOSP builds, too. Gotta differentiate from the older versions somehow.

Wasup TCP. Hows it hanging bro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fenixjn:
No man, I said sounds better. It was intended as a joke...

Anyways, I come from the OG EVO, I was running CM7 and it was really good: light on memory and extremely fast compared with sense based ROMs. When I switched over to E4GT I found that although CM7 was working, it still had some issues with 4G (just like the EVO back then).

I usually would not mind but since I live in a 4G area AND sometimes my crappy internet connection goes nuts I have to switch on tethering and 4G works as a great temporary internet connection. This is the only reason holding me back from using CM7 on my E4GT.

As far as what preference I have with regards to TW or CM7, let me put it this way: it CM7 is amazing on the EVO I can say that my expectations of CM7 or CM9 would be more than met once I get it on my current phone. If I get to get CM9 (ICS AOSP) then it would be welcome on my device first, even if a TW based ICS comes out at the same time.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flamebeats:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I'd rather have the option of AOSP ICS and Touchwiz ICS... more options > less options... and based on the way things are looking, we'll get that choice. AOSP will be CM9 and Samsung will release an official Touchwiz ICS build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
I agree I for one like TW but we shall see soon enough.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I am a fan of TW too. I just like what Calkulin did with it more. So I am waiting for ICS w/TW enhanced by Calkulin. AOSP is great. But I think TW makes the ROM more complete. I just wish TW could be more of what C did to it. Maybe there will be a new TW version soon. I am sure it is in the works.

As for the first quarter comment earlier for an official update. I think that is being a tad optimistic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YoungAceAtlanta:
Oh.... am I crying or said anything bad? I don't think so.. you people need to grow up and stop being so sensitive every time someone say something negative or slightly near it .
