Is it going to take a year or will we be blessed with ICS shortly after its release?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If it's anything like the Captivate, we'll get the update via Carrier after a long delay, but custom ROMs will have it not long after it appears for the international SGS2.
Go figure....lol

why ask when you know the answer - lol
Being that ICS hasn't even been released yet, means the manufacturers dont have the code to make it work on the phone. Which means we are probably 8-12 months away from seeing a "leaked" ICS.
Who knows. If the phone hardware is similar, we might get an early release of ICS based on the Nexus Prime version.
LOL your right but who knows ICS is designed for dual core hardware so we might get lucky lets just see.........

Haha. Seriously. Gotta love CM.
I was actually pretty happy running cognition, Unnamed, etc, but now I'm running CM7 because I know CM will serve up ice cream sandwich months before we see it from Samsung or elsewhere.

Haha, sounds like what we all said about GB since the Nexus S is so close to the Captivate (and Galaxy S).
when google releases jellybeans, ATT will release ice cream....
i hope its not jellybeans. I dont like jellybeans. lets call it 'jalapeno'
I really hope we'll get it relatively soon... but if not I'll just leave it too the custom ROM devs to get it to us xD

Looks like ICS is a 3 button lay out from what the video shows on the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
(dates are approximate, based solely on my fuzzy memory)
If the history of the Captivate can be a guide:
AOSP Froyo was released in about July(?) of last year, I9000 Froyo and leaked versions of Froyo for Captivate started appearing around October, official AT&T UCKB1 Froyo dropped in late February. So, about 8 months for official Froyo.
AOSP GB was released in about Feb., Samsung I9000 custom ROMs appeared around May, and official AT&T Captivate GB still has not been released nor has any definite timeline even been announced. 2011 was all that was given in a press release a few months back, but 8 months would put it around Dec/Jan.
But the I777 AT&T SGS II deviates less from the international SGSII though, which *might* make it easier/simpler for Samsung and AT&T to shorten the development cycle. Captivate had stuff like the Audience chip that the international I9000 didn't, and omittted stuff like the front-facing camera, flash, and FM radio. SGSII also has less bloat that needs to be updated.
We'll just have to see how much faster the development cycle is, if it's improved at all.

If you really meant "late next year.." than I am not impressed -the phone will be obsolete by then - lol.
You know your rite... I get new phones like they grow on trees..
I just read the article and i dont see where it gives a specific time line for the amaze.to get upgraded. Unless i didnt read correctly. Im sure we might get a taste of Ics though.
SENT FROM THE PROUD OWNER OF AN HTC AMAZE
Plus the site is just throwing random phones in the mix and saying they not sure if it will get 4.0... Link is a good way to waste time tho lol... Like the other guy said by then phones will ship with it lol with quad cores.

that means the first official ROMs for amaze or developers' ROMs? I can't reach the website, as the GFW from China~~~~
Umm doesn't it go trough HTC first ? I mean it has to get sense-d and since they just popped 3.5 I'm guessing 4 will take them 6 months more. Just wait for CM they have never disappointed us before

is any dev working on new rom?
you have to be patient & bare with it. It's always slow in the beginning & it picks up later on. Tomorrow I'll be switching from a N7000 to i717 but it will be well worth it in the long run.
I heard Team Kang (AOKP) and Codename want to release a rom for us. Maybe in the next few weeks or in few months, that's what we don't know.
I just Rooted, put cwm, and overclocked thanks to da-g. Check out his posts in development forums... seems to be working really well!

Source?
And our problem is that we only have a couple of devs and relatively low interest in this device all together
It's only been a month... You can't ask for a source for something and then claim something equally unbelievable. You all need to calm down. It's been one freaking month.
If you're going to keep knocking the device, why are you still here?

I simply haven't heard anything about aokp for this device when not a single dev has mentioned anything about an ics build. although I'm sure we'll see something after the official ics release.
How am I knocking the device? I like my note. It's safe to say this won't have as wide of a dev adoption as the s2, Atrix, skyrocket, and one x. Mostly due to the release schedule.

If you think the atrix has had good development for its entire life, you're sorely mistaken. It took even longer for the atrix to get a proper rom compared to us.

Just an FYI, I had an Atrix on day one and the same things were said about it a month after release (not much dev adoption, low interest in device, etc). So if the Atrix has such great adoption and dev support, then I think it's safe to say it's only a matter of time for this device, too.

Yup, had Atrix on launch day, everyone said the same thing. Man.. that was a long road... I don't think we had a proper CWM until maybe..4-6 months in? Lol, it was such a volatile forum. Everyone hating everyone.
There's definitely a lot of development going on there now so we good. Not as crazy as other phones though, but pretty good.

I come from the HD2. When I got the phone, it was so hard to get that there were entire threads dedicated to when/where you got yours. Every store sold out the day the trucks ran, sometimes within minutes.
It took forever to get a decent version of Android to boot up, and for an entire year we were stuck with SD versions until they finally got a hacked-up bootloader that could get NAND installed.
Even today, that is one of the heaviest dev'd phones this forum has ever seen, running every version of Windows Mobile, Android and even several flavors of Linux. I don't think that this phone will come close to the activity seen there, but if it does I wouldn't expect to have this phone completely unlocked and running as many ROMs as the HD2 any time this year.
Many people keep saying, "It's only been a month!" and I can only agree with that. I would be disappointed but not surprised to see no significant developments on this phone in the next 4 months. As a matter of fact, I really expect to see an official ICS release before CM9 hits us.
But I've been wrong before...

TWO roms from the Collective?
Why TWO? What is so significant between them that requires TWO different versions? Unless one is for the international version and one for the ATT version (the only thing I can think of)...
I loved this phone is did a lot of research and reviewed videos on this phone before I got it and it looked beast. I'm disappointed that there is SO LITTLE development with this phone, I'm thinking about switching to a more popular phone that everyone actually knows and cares to build roms for and support I really like this phone ,but again it just needs way more attention for me. Anyone else feels this way?

Patience is key. You can't force a dev to make a ROM or "develop" for a device. They have lives as well. Everything is pretty close to being here.
Besides if your not likening the "Development" you can always try and make a ROM buddy. Then maybe you can see how its not done overnight.

On the One X we went months before we had what we have here. Locked boot loader, an unrootable stock release and no source.
How can you call the Free Gee project and the N4 conversion and such slow development? /boggle
I felt the same way at first, and I am probably going to buy the moto X phone or the gsIV, but right now you just gotta find a room you like and settle into it.

Btw I came to this phone from the sgs3. A huge dev section isn't the only thing to base buying a phone.on. this phone has some sweet hardware. Excellent build quality, and awesome speed. I'm in love.
@Phonephan, I totally hear where you're coming from. I would have hoped for more options by now as well, but I knew what I was getting into when I picked this bad boy up and that there was the chance its potential would go unrealized. However, Rome wasn't built in a day and there have been some unique challenges that some very good developers are about to overcome. Our empire is about to be built! We've already got a solid JB build that doesn't require conversion thanks to SnowLeopardJB. There are a couple solid ICS ROM's as well (shout out to team nocturnal, nygfan, etc.) The real treats are just around the corner and if you check in to the irc chat room you will see just how close. Hang in there bro, you'll be glad you did.

Funny to think that just a few years ago modifying the OS on your phone was not an option. Now folks cry when they don't have 100 variations of the same base rom within a week or two.
Maybe buy a device you like next time. Or wait longer and not buy the device on launch day, that way you can give the dev community time to work thereby ensuring you get an active community to take care of your flashing fix.
Why exactly do you feel the need to tell us that you're leaving? Did you do any development? Write any documentation? Are you afraid we wouldn't notice you were gone?
Sent from my LG-E970
Seriously!? We have an ICS phone that developers have transformed into an upgraded nexus 4. Other developers have domesticated foreign JB Roms so well that this phone has every feature enabled today. We may only have a few topics... But major progress happens in them. This is the height of Android options with native pure Google and branded on the most recent versions.
You can install Roms from 3 forums onto this phone... US OG, Intl OG and N4.
The conversion will really pay off in six months when this is the first device with SD card and full android 5 while every other phone has gmail 5... Converted to 4.1

Okay...
Didn't see that coming. If you look at my post I said I'm possibly getting a new phone not telling you I am and I was asking people if they felt the same. Also it's been months since its release so the fact that it's only 2 real ROMs for this phone makes me upset no, disrespect to devs obviously but it does seem like this phone is getting like no attention and it's one if the best phones out. Converting to n4 is a bit too much just to enjoy this phone. This phone was meant to be an LGOG not a nexus ..it would have been named nexus
Anyways that was just a thought/concern I had about the phone.. Don't see why people are offended?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Nobody bothered to develop ICS Roms other than pretty much stock based ones since we were promised Jelly Bean so early and obviously that didn't happen. Once Jelly Bean gets officially released, I know the devs will be all over it and Roms won't be an issue. The nexus 4 conversion is easy to do, I did it intoxicated twice. So either do that or just be patient. We're just waiting on AT&T now

Good afternoon guys
I know probably this will be a pushy question but I will really like to know some information about what could we been expecting now with this new 4.1 update for I717.
I was looking on the N7000 forum and there is a lots of nice roms on JB out there, any of those Dev will think on porting their roms to our device?
thanks in advance for your opinion,
I've been following this device since release because one of my friends has it. Overall I am very disappointed in what's come of development from here and most of all from AT&T. As soon as the Note 2 dropped the Note 1 died. Even the new update doesn't have Multi Window features. Nobody somehow even ported it yet? I can't find it. People ported it to the S2 S3 etc etc.
Time to upgrade to a Note 3 from the looks of it.
I asked because I don't any of the Dev pronounce any information of building or porting a rom base on the new updated. probably its me and I don't want to sound like bad but the update it there and We would like to know if there will be nice roms like they are on the N7000
thanks for your all understanding
