ICS For SGSII Skyrocket Leak.. When's our turn?! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/26/...et/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
I WANT NOTE TO LEAK!!! cmon at&t!

Correct me if im wrong but I'm guessing that this leak will give the devs most of what they need to start cooking for the Note as well.

Should be most of what they need. I think a big part would be getting all of the SPen integration right though.

First the HTC vivid, and now the skyrocket, I say the att galaxy note is next up for ICS
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that article.. The Skyrocket has pretty much the same hardware (except S-pen stuff) as the Note, doesn't it?

Hmmm -- so if the International G-Note gets ICS soon... could we marry to the two different roms to make an LTE Note ICS?
that would be pretty s1ck. Blaah i need to open a programming book.

International means nothing... But releasing it on there can let us know the timeframe. Devs could easily port the skyrocket ics over, but all pen functionality would probably be lost for now. Or, if the right codes are put in, ics is supposed to have the functionality already. If they can open that, then the pen would work like it does now. There would be no special apps however. The reason probably why the att note doesnt have a leak yet is because the apps donot work with ics, so they have to be ported (and with the rom features, like double tap with pen). Might as well try porting the skyrocket release, even though it may be useless very soon.

It's not only about AT&T, there's alot of LTE Note in Canada too. ;-)
I think in some way we can take sime drivers from the international Note, think about it : the cameras, the screen, the s-pen are the same after all? Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not a DEV at all.

When people refer to the AT&T Note, the refer to all North American Note's in general, they are all SGH-i717. Just happens that the majority of them are on AT&T. Any firmware/drivers/roms from the international Note are COMPLETELY (please re-read the last word) incompatible with the North American Note because the only hardware they share is the screen. These things are written and optimized for specific SOC's in which our Note and the international Note do not share.

Glad to see AT&T finally pull their SH$%@#t together and start updates in a timely fashion.

Correct, it is a leak that was provided by rootzwiki. Just an odin flashable executable that flashes the whole system un-rooted. We have it rooted now and a sysdump but thats about as far as we've made it so far.

so are we gonna see devs hop on this rom anytime soon??

When theres a leak, the official should be on its way in no time.

Umm that's not ics. Thats gingerbread with go launcher running an ics theme. My phone below, notice the dots at the top below the status bar? Dead giveaway.
sent from my iPhone killers killer, Samsung Galaxy Note.

Not to mention the 4G icon doesnt look like the one on the note...possibly a rom flashed.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

why can't we use this to help us make ICS roms for our note? i thought that the note and this phone were identical internally!

In the last week, the internationnal version if the note received a rom from Codenaster, a ported version of AOKP and of MIUI all running on ICS. Well probably see the same roms for us once we get a ics leak. This is awesome!
Glad you guys appreciated my not-so-subtle hints. We are working hard on the T989 and 727 (hercules and celox) and will begin work on the Note as soon as the i777 progresses to a more solid state.

Skyrocket is just a leak I believe? I'm not sure if it's fully functional or not. But what would really be the foot in everyone's mouth is if the note gets a fully functional ics before the international

Man I wish I could put on CM9 already!
I've been playing with CM9 on my SGS2 which just came out yesterday and it is super kickass. Just few minor details that need to be worked out, like no video recording. Hopefully, by the time it comes out for our Note, everything should be OK. I don't see face unlock in it. I wonder if it would be included later on. I played with the ICS att leak, and don't see much of a difference other than face unlock. I'll stay on Saurom Rom until DAGr8 releases an ICS version of it. Way better.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
DesignGears is the guy behind several roms that were based on stock, going as far back as Cognition for the Captivate.
He is also, I believe the person who posted the stock recovery images for the Samsung Captivate and came up with the mechanism for recovering the Captivate to stock.
I ran his rom (Cognition) on my Samsung Captivate for at least a year, updating as he released new versions until he stopped development on Froyo and jumped to Gingerbread, around this time, Cyanogen began development and I used Cyanogen instead of Cognition because they supported the Froyo bootloaders, his rom did not after he went to Gingerbread (it required updating the bootloaders).
I even remember a short dialog where I pushed to use the Pacman script from Cyanogen in order to both make his rom download smaller but also so that users had more of a choice as to what apps they wanted on their phone.
DesignGears (DG for short) is one of the key developers that got the Captivate rom development off the ground. While Im sure someone else would have gotten around to it, he is the guy who kicked it off and figured it all out. Dont dis' the guy, if he has a Note and begins development, my hope is that we will start to see more development for the Note. At only three custom roms, all heavily based on stock, we have yet to really see this phone at its full potential.
love DG! Gave us the Froyo leak for the Cappy months early and now this!! I will be keeping a close eye on rootzwiki!

I went to the update software setting and I did get a pop-up saying something like You have a software update and the server is too busy. Try again later. So I think they are fixing to release ICS for every one.

Because no ICS rom is truly complete...not without the source. No source code means no tweaked kernals...and that really completes the rom IMO. So once the source drops we will have better roms. Maybe even some with the premium suite and some GS3 tweaks thrown in.

1. Samsung said by the end of Q2 there will be ICS for the i717, and Galaxy Note 3 won't even be out until 2014 (if it ever will come out).
2. Chocolate Cookies 7.0... Smh.. They've already passed the "C's" in the Android naming scheme. It was Cupcake.

As has been stated, an official release is required for source code (at least, thats how Samsung does it).
Source code allows tweaking of the kernel for things like over clocking (which is probably the most OVERRATED functionality that tweaking the kernel will provide - case in point, give me a real world application where the Note isnt fast enough - its fine if you want to look at numbers but that is as useless to me as the Windows Experience Index - its a waste of time) and potentially correcting some of the issues this phone has (black crush and inaccurate stylus).
But, as is the usual case, the people that CANT seem to understand this will continue to make the usual 'just flash a custom rom and be done with it' statements. There are a few of us that are fine with the official rom. I think Samsung has done a decent job with Touchwiz and the software FROM SAMSUNG is actually good. Rooting and removing of the ATT crap however is something I have been considering.
I WILL say that a REAL version of Cyanogen would be great, Im just not interested in it until they have some source code for the kernel and can actually do a real build.
With the official release of ICS for the Galaxy S2 having come just yesterday, and the fact that it REQUIRES flashing via Kies (Samsung's version of Itunes), Im guessing the Note is only a week or two away.

There are a few of us that are fine with the official rom. I think Samsung has done a decent job with Touchwiz and the software FROM SAMSUNG is actually good. Rooting and removing of the ATT crap however is something I have been considering.
I WILL say that a REAL version of Cyanogen would be great, Im just not interested in it until they have some source code for the kernel and can actually do a real build.
With the official release of ICS for the Galaxy S2 having come just yesterday, and the fact that it REQUIRES flashing via Kies (Samsung's version of Itunes), Im guessing the Note is only a week or two away.

While everything you say it correctly, I feel like your post should be in the noob section. Dont you think?

About to jump.. to the S4.

After having my GSII for almost 2 years I am about to use my upgrade and get the S4. I have read many bad reviews about the lag and there is no easy/safe way around the bootloader. But this device has a lot of bloatware and I imagine once the kinks are all worked out, the S4 will be just as good as the S2 when it was released.

Actually I started this thread because I wanted to know if its even worth getting the S4. I hadnt posted on here before but I thought I could get peoples opinion on it.
Well if this were the place to talk about a different device you'd be right. There's a general forum in the main xda site. That'd be the place. In a device specific forum isn't.

I really don't believe the lagging issue. I've tried hand-on with the S4 at the local store and honestly I didn't see any lag. The device is a beauty. If I'm getting the S4, I wouldn't want to mess it up by rooting or installing custom on it just yet.

Agreed, I would wait for custom ROMs to mature for a bit before switching.

That's what I'm doing with my One, solely for the fact that there's no ruu for stock yet. Otherwise I would.

I switched to S4 last week and couldn't be happier. Zero lag out of the box. Used it stock for a day then rooted and froze the bloat with TiBu. Using nova launcher.
This thing flies. Looking forward to some custom roms when the bootloader is unlocked, which should be released in the next few weeks.

I own a s2 owned the s3 and I spent 8 hours with the s4 before I retuned it. Good luck dude.

Ditto. My contract is up in August and i would like to renew it with something better than just a tuned up s3.

ROM - ShoStock v3.0
Kernel - AJK v1.48-S
Really, guys?
I'm waiting for HTC Two or even Three, which has retractable screen. LOL
I'm hoping someone besides LG makes the next Nexus. I figure we should get word this week, or soon anyway.
I just replaced my old i777 with a S4 this week.
The i777 was a great great phone. I will always appreciate its 18 months of solid service.
But the S4 is going to get AMAZING AOSP thanks to Google's help SOOOO time to move on.
Bye i777!!!!!

I'm actually really hesitant to switch to the S4 or the HTC one. I've been reading up on their forums, and both phones seem to have their fair share of issues. Quality Control with the One in terms of gaps and dead pixels, but it's fairly durable and there's decent Dev support for it. The S4 is prone to cracked screens, and the locked bootloader is really killing any desire to get that phone. Whatever exploit was posted by djrbliss will be patched quickly, rendering it useless. Seems like I should just go with an S3 or a Note 2. I don't think I can spend around $700 on the stock Google S4 from the play store.
