[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] occupational_hazard:
Please take at a moment to read through this before making an announcement about an ICS release. We are seeing a lot of redundant posts and questions being asked.

Our phone, the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket(SGH-I727) is scheduled to receive the official release. There has been much confusion and for lack of a better term, ignorance, of what is being released and when by the user. We all want to contribute something to the forum and that is great. That kind of eagerness is usually welcomed in a developmental forum such as this.

Samsung can not make one release and it be compatible with all Galaxy SII phones. There are different kernels, processors, chipsets, and other factors that come into play. When a release this big comes out. There is usually a lot of testing that goes into it. We have to wait for Google, Samsung, and AT&T to put their stamp of approval on it.

There have been several news articles that have given an ETA for this release. Thats an ESTIMATED time of arrival. It is not wrote in stone. There maybe and will be unforeseen setbacks in projects this massive. We, as a skyrocket community, are in line for the update. But where is our place in line? With some and checking some of the articles, which may not always be entirely accurate, we are still behind some of the Samsung EU variants to receive this update. So we still have a ways to go.

So please,be patient. Help our devs, who build some of the best roms. You can do your part by letting them know if any problems arise within the rom. We have received leaked builds of ICS thanks to DesignGears. Samsung has not forgotten about the skyrocket. Once we do get an official release, it will be a matter of hours before the custom releases begin.

Below I am listing some of the variants of Galaxy SII community.
