Wait for source to flash AOKP or Paranoid Android. Both are excellent ROMs, but they are nightlies. Once source drops, you'll get a good milestone on AOKP. Now, if you wanna try PA before source, I would recommend going back to 1.0.3. It's less buggy on our phones than the current build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
But who will be first to cross the Eso line?

I'm ok with that. Means we have OTA in our hot little hands and we already have it rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
lol I figure there will be a ton of posts that hit about the same exact time when that 10,000th post arrives.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:
I know this is not our device but...

Dang not yet released huh ?

I've already jumped ship but still have epic, epic touch on my lines still so I'm still I'm here. Pretty cool I have entire generation of galaxy s active on my line

The link I read said for Russia specifically
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Nice find! Because of the major hardware differences between the phones, I don't know that the devs will be able to use that for this device, but it is good to see progress is being made for our line, if not for our variant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Yeah, it's for the international variant, not ours.

I've read every page of this thread. Skimmed some of the obviously off-topic stuff. In fact, about 6 weeks ago I got slapped down by the mod for discussing (horror of horrors) computer programming! But I digress.

Since KC moved on the opening post hasn't been updated. Not complaining, he moved on... Its just that I used to be able to get a sense of something actually happening by the opening post.

Not that anything has happened lately.

Anyway, perhaps after post 10,000 this thread could be closed and somebody active with the phone could start a new one regarding leaks and source posting.

Just a thought.

There, I've made my contribution to post 10,000

I'm waiting for all of the Sour Sallys to come to this thread and tell everyone omfg die No ICS samsung sprint evil og epic, blarghashshhhhhhhsah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
Gman,

It's purely drivers. 100%. Now first let me see say that we have fantastic devs and what I'm about to say is not a bash on them...but teamwin reverse engineered those wimax drivers and the hdmi to get a fully functioning build on the EVO. Without Teamwin there would have been no fully functioning CM.

Secondly ICS is way more complicated to build than Gingerbread.

Also I could be wrong here but the part of Android that isn't open is the drivers and certain parts of the kernel are also not open. there are certain parts that the companies don't have to release...that is where things get complicated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
Except they have 4g working on cm 9... So
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I sent this to SprintFeed. Lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gibsonusa:
yeah this seals the deal

i am on my third evo 3d and when my 4th one gets here tomorrow im going to go to sprint and they are going to allow me to do a multiple defective device trade in and this is the phone im going to be getting. I was debating if i should should have wait and gone with the galaxy nexus but i like this phone better as far as hardware. Thanks for posting this like i said this seals the deal for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Samfirmware has leaked 22 roms since Feb 12th. No doubt we'll get a leak on this. (Not to mention they've given us all three other builds that Samsung has made. EK02, EL26, and EL29.) They must be getting on soon since their last tweet was 12 hours ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
don't forget EL13 also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
Wimax 4G?

Formerly Tuffgong4 on xda
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
The drivers have nothing to do with android. The drivers are proprietary bits from the hardware manufacturers that allow the software to talk to the hardware. It's up to them to open source them which they'd never do. Again it has nothing to do with android. That's why Linux in general has so any problems, because they don't have access to the drivers. Anyway I'm getting into a rant.

Here's a question for everyone. If CM9 and ICS from Sammy was released the same day, which would you pick?

Personally I'm going with the modified stock rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Yes. Next release for our device will have working wimax.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:
I would go stock Ics im probley the only one who like touchwiz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Very excite!!! Can't wait for some ICS goodness!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
Id stick with stock... Unless cm9 was a stable RC with everything working (4g doesnt concern me,no 4g coverage)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
I hope this build looks better than the leaked screenshots I saw of TW ICS. It didn't look hardly any different then GingberBread. You wouldn't have even know it was ICS if you didn't look in the About Phone section *Facepalm*

I'm keeping my money on Sbrissen and his awesome CM9 build. Been my daily for 14 days now and still going strong. It's absolutely amazing.

Hope this does leak soon though and I hope it helps him achieve a better CM9 :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I don't see it being any different then what we have seen from the International leaked versions. Samsung is most likely not going to change the TouchWiz skin from what it looked like in GB to something different. Reason being is it will be familiar to anyone that has used a Samsung phone in the past.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
It won't. It'll look like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420996. Hey look ICS signal bars! In grey! *yawn* :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
No I was asking if CM9 has a working Wimax 4G as aimbdd...big difference between regular 4G and working Wimax 4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
CM9, without a doubt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
That's the point people seem to regularly forget, especially the ones who complain about ICS not hitting the older phones because of TW. We're not the primary market for Samsung. They cater to the average user who would be exceptionally confused if their phone was updated to something with a completely different interface and they had to relearn it from scratch. As well, it's possible those users bought the phone based on the features that were included. For Samsung to then remove them could actually put them in legal trouble. They have to take these users into account in the process.

Now what I wish they, or any company, would do is open their phone up to our community after a certain period of time. Once they decide to abandon the phone, then release the source code for their drivers and such and let us pick it apart and put things like CM on it. Then the hardcore users won't feel shafted and everyone else can feel secure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
Yeah that was the screenshot (or one of them) that I saw.

I mean. The clock is blue. YAY. The whole point of jumping from 2.3 > 4.0 was because Android went through massive UI overhauls. For them not to reflect that in TW just really ruins it imo. Idk, I haven't used it yet, but stock TW on this phone sucks, so I'm not holding much hope that their rendition of ICS will be much better.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
We really haven't received any further updates. I think a few people have had someone at Sprint tell them dates but it's still anyone's guess. I think the date most of us are focused on is the 15th, which seems as good a day as any to release something.

It would be lovely to see one of the many predictions we've had actually come to fruition. Fingers and toes crossed hoping for next week! (If not sooner)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
But you've pointed out the biggest problem. There's nothing new to report. No rdfs, no more Samsung insiders, no more leaks. It's the equivalent of a slow news day that has lasted 3 weeks now, so all you're getting is editorials. I think that's why the mods haven't been too strict on us lately. There's just nothing there and we're trying to pass the time and keep ourselves sane. Anticipation of OTA and source can be an MFer.

Can't wait for Goodness Blend built on Source Sauce.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I can't even imagine how much more incredible these already great ROMs are going to be once the Devs have their hands on source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I've been running stock rooted FF18 almost since it was released with zero issues and I'm wondering if ota is based off of this would it be any different? I know u guys have no idea what ota will have for additional features. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Still patiently waiting...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
With no further rdf posted, I'm guessing no further alterations are being made before OTA. Samsung does the building, not Sprint, so if they are releasing it for other variants, and FF18 has all the Sprint requested tweaks, it's done as is.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swear0730:
Guess I didn't make my point. My point was IF there was something new to report than I'd have to continue wading through the banter between the more frequent posters that have nothing to do with leaks or source rather than just monitor the opening post because the OP has moved on.

Hope I've been clear enough without casting dispersion on anyone. Sometimes the banter is a bit entertaining. Sometimes I just want to know if anything has happened.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Gotcha. We've come under fire a bit for the banter lately. I wasn't taking offense to your post but more thinking I had to defend the banters existence. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

You can rest assured that one of us will inform KC when something happens so that the OP can be adjusted. Beats wading through the BS. I know if you aren't apart of it when it happens, it can be tiresome to skim through.

Don't know if this was mentioned, but AT&T G S-II is getting 4.0.4 now. And the Sprint G S-III is getting a minor OTA update. Not to beat a dead horse, but haven't we been waiting long enough? Sigh.

On the bright side, given the 4.0.4 rollout internationally and with AT&T now, hopefully ours won't be too far behind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I definitely understand what you're saying and I've often felt the same in Dev threads when there is a lot of banter going on, however believe me, if/when something important finally drops we'll be repeating it ad nauseam to the point no one can miss the news. :)

Cmon guys, we all know that we arnt getting official jelly bean anytime soon. ICS came out back in October of last year. If that's any indication of how long it takes to get an OTA for a new version, we are gonna be waiting a long time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
The GS3 update is nothing to be happy about, it removes the search all feature (due to Apple's patent war) and will now only search the web. Most people on the GS3 are ignoring the update for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
No, we're still getting ICS. They wouldn't have gone through all of the deving to not release it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
What if we all call and complain to sprint? "I'm going to att when my contract expires. Their phones actually get updates"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Believe it or not, a flood of calls actually could work. I manage a call center and we have to log every complaint and send it to the corporate office.

Now when I say it actually "could" work, I mean that it could work if several people call every day. 1 or 2 calls won't move a mountain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
That's not necessarily true. JB is an incremental upgrade from ICS. ICS was a ground up rewrite of the Android OS combining GB and HC. That takes a lot longer. That they're just sitting on it so that it doesn't compete with the GS3, yeah, that sucks.
