Hey guys,

what do you think, is it possible to port the Android 2.3 Gingerbread from Nexus S to our Samsung Galaxy S. Because it has a similar hardware!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zshakespeare:
Theoretically it should be very simple to port the software. The only difference I can see from a hardware perspective is the NFC chip which simply needs to be disabled in software, and the missing search button which will need to be mapped to a menu long-press.

I did some work on the NITDroid project back when I had an N900, and neither of these is particularly difficult to do.

Bad news for us i guese

Nexus S Will Receive OTA Updates, Not from Kies

After seeing a couple of tweets from Team Android folks, it’s looking like Nexus S updates will be controlled by Google and not Samsung’s Kies software. Google is definitely calling the shots over this device which is another reason you should consider it on the 16th. I know the specs aren’t groundbreaking, but a device in the hands of the Android machine is never a bad thing. Look at poor Galaxy S owners who can’t get a straight answer out of Samsung on something as old as the 2.2 update?

If you find out the source of the OTA updates, couldnt you create your own OTA updates through some app that downloads the pack to your sd card and all you have to do is go to CWR to update?

All the app has to do is have updated link to the file location, then you click and download?

Its not true OTA update, but your still getting the update through the phone, wifi is faster, cable fastest?

It is stock Gingerbread 2.3 - just like the Nexus One was stock 2.1 and 2.2 (and not with HTC's Sense) - that's why I'm liking this so much.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed10000:
Nexus S doesn't have a SD card slot, but I think Gingerbread supports it just fine. It's already being rolled out to Nexus One, which does use external sd card.

The biggest challenges: display (if it's a different unit because of the curve and thus incompatible drivers), storage and possibly GPS. BT 3.0 and FM support should be relatively minor.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meister_Li:

I'm kinda disapointed also by the specs of the Nexus S... I would've expected a dual core SoC at the very least.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
Have you tried upgrading yourself? You don't have to stick to the official rom, just make sure you get a backup of the original rom before you upgrade so if you run into issues you can take it back. It's nearly impossible to brick an SGS so pretty safe.

You might change your mind about the SGS once you upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Yeah, nah... probably not..

Even 2.2 on the SGS is shyte IMO. Still laggy and Samsung are no where to be seen fixing the GPS issues people are having. I ended up going back to my iphone 4 after 3 months of frustration, and only because the iphone 4 just worked out of the box... (and I'm not an apple fanboy either)

I know some will say just apply the lag fix, but really.. come on... the phone shouldn't be laggy out of the box. The other issue is that if Samsung still can't understand what's ferking up with their own hardware (eg. GPS) what chance do they have at producing a good product in the Nexus S????

In reality, Google should have stuck with HTC. The Nexus One was in a class of its own, teflon anti scratch, amoled screen, good speed, and no lag. The only issue I ever had with my N1 was the screen brightness out doors. If the Nexus S was in a 4" (or even 4.3") Desire HD guise, I would have bought one.

The fact Google went Samsung is a big mistake, and people who have experienced Samsung phones in the past will know to avoid this one at all costs..

For me that own a HTC Tattoo as well, the fact that the Galaxy S wasn't HTC was the reason I bought it. Sure it lags out of the box, but it's an easy fix even if you shouldn't have to. And at least it's been given updates..

So everything ain't good over at the HTC camp either, and iirc, wasn't HTC doing smth semi crappy against Google after the Nexus 1 when releasing the Desire? I remember something with Google being pissed and saying no more work together with HTC in that way.

Sound's like total crap to me. I've looked, and I can only see PRE-ALPHA highly experimental roms which are unofficial one. Do you actually have links to official one. Rather than act like a brat, why don't you contribute developer resources and help port it?

It's people such as yourself who scare developers away from the community, because it's people such as yourself who don't understand the difference between Pre-alpha, alpha, beta or final rom's.

A gingerbread ROM would be great, but it's launch day. Hopefully Samsung decides to port it officially to our device, but if cyanogenmod gets it, I'll also be happy.
