Just a matter of time till our devs rip it apart to get it working on the i777.

Is SamMobile an official Samsung account?

Doesn't look like it...

No, but they do get inside tips from time to time and a lot of leaked firmware as well.

---

Awesome, well we shall see.

I can't make heads or tales from his tweets. Probably some dumb kid.

It was said when the Intl version comes out it won't mean much to us because the audio on our phone.

You've been misinformed. We can flash an i9100 rom untouched. The only thing that needs "ported" from the i9100 to the i777 is modem, capacitive button configuration for the most part.
You're probably referring to the mic issue that team hacksung is having issues with. Once Samsung comes out with a build all of that is irrelevant.

So you're saying that once the devs have I9100 ICS source code, that it will be easy to modify it and build the kernel to work on I777?
Or are you saying that 4.0.1 will work on I777 with 3.x.x kernel?
I don't think so. If I understand correctly, I777 ICS source needs to drop before the roms can be ported to our phone.

That's what I'm saying. You're thinking too much - the i9100 and i777 are EXACTLY the same besides two things: modem & button configuration.
Entropy created Hellraiser for this reason. He's using his own kernel because it's easier to just slap on something that works (his kernel in this case) rather than port all of the custom-made i9100 kernels out there.
But it doesn't matter. We'll have a couple options I'd imagine, or even more. CM9 will finalize a beta release soon after this leak and they've already got an i777 build coming our way. Not only that, but other devs will create their own soup.

Damn you! Just when my anxious desire to have ICS on my phone begins to finally subside a little, you go and tease me with this sort of crap!
Hopefully, for my sanity's sake, it won't be too much longer.

Lol. I've been thinking too much all my life. It's old hat now.
I hope you're right. It'll be more fun if we get it sooner.

---

My guess is we will have a good beta release by Christmas.

---

I'll be real happy if this comes out for our phones before the Galaxy Nexus comes out. lol

That would be awesome. Just another reason to own a Galaxy S II. I can't wait to see how ICS will run on our phones.

I'm just wondering if this beta release will have a new TW on it as well.

---

I'll take samfirmware's word, without them we would have much. ICS soon makes me pumped!!

I like giving thanks when I'm corrected! Glad I was wrong. Bought the SGS2 on release date...returned it for the 4S(knowing I wouldn't keep it long, best trade value though)...traded that for the Vivid...now I'm back...catching up.

Looking forward to ICS running ICScrewD and it is holding me over until this is here via custom rom or official!
