[Q] What would you do about ICS? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm wondering what to do about Ice Cream Sandwich when it's released for the Thunderburp, I can un-root and install a stock OTA ROM or I can wait until the devs start releasing their ROMs.
To some extent, it depends on timing, if the devs get ICS for the T'belch soon, I'll go that route but I'm thinking the OTA might hit first so...
What would you do? Unroot and get the OTA or wait for the modded ICS ROMs to start popping up?

Im pretty sure we will have it before it goes OTA and have rooted roms ready. I will have a stock rooted ICS rom out as soon as one of my connections gets me the ruu.

Much appreciated but.... the RUUs seem very hard to come by.
I know there are at least two (probably many more) ROMs waiting for a workingi radio but they've been waiting for awhile now!
Hope the wait's about to end....
Meanwhile, the OTA will arrive "soon" but "soon" means different things to different people, to geologists and VZW it could be millions of years!
I'm too old to wait that long.....

HTC will have the update ready soon. What takes time is for Verizon to get the RUU, make it take its pants off, thoroughly violate it, bloat it, then wait a few more months to release it just to piss us off

[Q] ICS?

I know we don't have any ICS kernel sources yet but do you think we will get ICS before this August?
I thought I read somewhere that we were getting it in the next month or two. I would assume we would have a good working ICS port at the least in the next month or two. Can't speak for the devs here, but I thought that's what we were looking at. As for when ATT will push it out, that could be forever...I hate how long they take, but oh well.

Having used ICS on the captivate, it truly is an update worth switching devices for. However, I'm pretty happy with the I777 so I will just wait. Android updates that were actually really good: Froyo, Honeycomb, and ICS. The rest were just hyped too damn much and gingerbread is the worst of all of them (imho).
Wow. Use the sticky thread.

For one, it's not just ICS when Jellybean comes out, you're going to get it much quicker than anyone else. And also, it's the purest form of the Android version minus any bloatware each manufacturer puts on the phone, which can be either a pro or a con, but overall, the bloatware has been a con in the past.
IMO, Gingerbread was a very good update, Froyo didn't seem that special when I finally got it for my S7. The biggest improvement was non-broken radio firmware, which had nothing to do with Android version.
Gingerbread had significant power management improvements.

I love and appreciate all the work that the Devs have done for our phone, but if we don't get ICS soon I will be leaving this phone. A lot of my friends have phones with ICS roms and it is such a improvement over GB. I don't understand how one and two year old phones have ICS and Samsung won't allow us to have it. It is ridiculous.

What the hell is your problem? Name one phone other than the Nexus line that has received ICS officially.
HTC hasn't released any updates yet.
Motorola hasn't released any updates yet.
Sony has only released betas (I applaud them for putting out prereleases)
Asus has only pushed it to one tablet (easier to port HC tablets due to HC being a newer codebase and not having to deal with the RIL) and that was an utter disaster
So far, my experience with ICS is that it's not an improvement over Gingerbread. I haven't been able to see any significant positive improvement - some parts of the UI are a bit shinier, but the gapps user interface is clunker than it was in GB. ICS has some good improvements on tablets, but for phones - not so nice.

First of all I said that I APPRECIATE the devs!!!! And I never said that the roms were official. Almost all HTC and LG phones have ICS roms. I left t-mobile with the htc sensation and believe me that phone runs 300% better now that it is running ICS. And by the way Entropy it is no disrespect to any dev by what I said, I am rocking your Kernel right now (Excellent job). I am pissed at Samsung and them only. Our phone is supposed to be a flagship phone so what the hell is the holdup?
If you can't wait then just go get the G Nexus. These questions have been brought up and beaten to death. Just don't be surprised when Ics finally drops for our device and our Roms are superior than most. GS2 surely has the hardware to run prety much anything smoothly and dev community is strong here

Wow am I getting tired of reading these same press releases OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER...
Yea, we get it, ICS is coming out for the Note in the coming months.
Given Samsungs track record, it isnt going to happen anytime soon.
Given ATT's track record, it REALLY isnt going to happen any time soon.
What the hell does 'coming soon' mean?
Talk to any Captivate owner if you want to get an idea here. There were press releases and blaring horns about Gingerbread is coming soon for the Captivate and guess what? The Captivate just got Gingerbread 2 months ago, and ATT couldnt even be bothered to push it OTA, it has to be installed via a PC. Oh yea, tons of press releases about an imminent release of GB for the Captivate too. Shame it took a year to get anything out.
While I understand newer people that are not familiar with how Samsung works might very well be getting excited about this and feel the need to post every link they can find about some rumour and speculation (of an ICS release) or YET ANOTHER press release stating the exact same thing the 50 press releases released before have stated but trust me when I tell you, all of this is alot of empty fanfare.
The international version will get ICS soon (probably 2 months (my guess June) until they BEGIN to start rollouts starting with Korea and ENDING with the United States and finally Mexico probably late this year around Christmas time at the earliest).
So let me spell it out for you, it isnt going to happen very quickly and I really wish people would stop posting these links. There are fifty billion threads on just the ATT Note forums alone about how ICS will be coming soon with no details beyond 'its coming soon', 'yay for more apps that use the SPen', and 'hey, its ICS'.
*sigh*

Why is everyone hating on ATT for this? I mean I can hate on them for about everything else. Are they not the ONLY one to release an ICS update so far for a non Nexus phone?
They released it for the HTC Vivid. Has any other carrier released an ICS update for a non ICS original phone? I'm currious...

I think people are not exactly comparing apples to apples here. Comparing the note to the captivate is pretty stupid. Att is pretty well vested in android now where as they were not before the captivate. By the time they announced gb for it, there were much better phones out. With att announcing ics for the note now and not having anything else as a flagship device I can see them working a bit faster than the captivate. Also, att released ics for the vivid before the vivids counterparts from other countries. I'm sick of people acting like they're fortune tellers because they used to own a ****ty phone that didn't get updated because there were better phones out. Oh and I own a craptivate myself

I don't really care about the time frame. It's enough just to know it is being worked on. I am more interested in seeing how Google is going to kill fragmentation which ICS was supposed to do. People still have phones/tablets that will never see the update.

im getting my razr maxx tomorrow and im torn weather or not i should go with GB or ICS? if i do decide on a ice cream rom, which is the most stable for daily use, like working camera and such?
i also assume once you go ics there is no way to downgrade to GB because of the locked bootloader?

ICS OTA. [From what I understood after talking with a sprint rep]

After talking with a sprint rep, he told me that the update should be Next week or the week after that. At the latest Early July. Not trying to throw any false statements out there so that was what I understood and if the Sprint Rep was telling the truth. I'm guessing we will get the OTA in about a week or two..
Many of you are asking : why do we care? We have the leak.
Well you answered your question. it is a LEAK. Plus, its most likely (hopefully) that they'll release the source code a few days or a week after the ota. We can use that to create stable kernels or even get 3D & 4G working on Sense 4 roms.
I know that there are going to be people flaming at me for not including a source. So I am posting this at caution. Maybe next time I'll record the conversation (Sarcasm)
Sent From My Toaster
I think that the customer rep. just gave you a guess of when the ICS OTA will be. I am saying a guess, because I know customer reps are in the same field where we are, when it comes to OTA liable information.
They should release it tomorrow. It'll be the one year mark for the 3d.

I don't understand why you're implying it's bad because it's a leak? Most roms are based off a production ruu. Just because someone got it early doesn't make it incomplete or bad. How different do you think the code is going to be? Minimal.

I for 1 have noticed some things that should be worked on. I've had weaker signal, slower Internet, and issues of not being able to receive texts in some situations since flashing a rom based on the leak. Plus there is a bug with the front camera. If the leak didn't have issues, wouldn't be officially released by now?

Exactly. It's pretty obvious that the Sprint rep was just speculating. Anyone can pretty much guess that it will be sometime around July.
And to everyone complaining about the leak being unstable, I doubt any changes will be made from that and our OTA except the VM stuff. Also, I've had 0 issues so far running the stock leak.

As JB source code was released yesterday, we should see devs attempting to port JB goodness on the i777. AT&T will not push our I777 to 4.1. Highly doubt AT&T would support this device anymore...
To be fair, the Captivate saw an upgrade from Eclair to GB.... though it took forever. So, I wouldn't say it's highly unlikely, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

From AT&T officially, the SII already got its two free upgrades and that was from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 then recently to 4.0.3 so AT&T is probably going to put the SII on EOL (end of life) soon as they move on to the SIII, HOX and AtrixHD.
From XDA, it will more than likely be supported for awhile as its still one of the best devices ever created.
Even if at&t came out with an official release (highly unlikely) it would still suck compared to the work done by our devs here

AT&T has already killed off the i777. You can only buy the skyrocket in stores now. They would rather you buy new than update old. Look how long it took our phone to get "official" ICS... Dandrumheller is totally right - our faithful devs are powerhouses compared to AT&T. While AT&T wants to sell us something, our devs want to help. i'm sure 4.1 will be ported, just give the devs time to make sure things work.
I agree! The developers are still moving forward with JB for the GS II and I am hopeful that in 2-3 weeks we will begin to see progress in geting a functioning JB based ROM for I777.
Dont bet on it
I highly doubt we'll get JB. Took far too long to get a rough version of ICS, and I know AT&T won't hesitate to make any attempt to get us to purchase new devices/contracts.

Why would you want to run a stock ROM from the phone company. There are good stable custom ROMs that are better, adopt features sooner, and have better support. For example, there's no better support you can get than from ShoStock2. If you have a question, and it's not abnormal, the developer generally answers you, one-on-one. If it's a real problem, and fixable, it will prob be fixed in a couple of weeks.
If you call ATT you have to get plassed to tier-2 then to an engineer who will prob say it will be fixed in the next release - which will be 12 months.
Why wouldn't you root your phone?? That's my question.
