Well I heard the the official Samsung froyo would be coming in early December, at least according to the op in the vanilla captivate thread over in the AD section. According to him he had talked to a Samsung rep at the Galaxy Tab unveiling, I think, but I could be wrong.

[Q] CyanogenMod 6.0 Stable Released - Anyone Trying It?

CyanogenMod 6.0 has been released and supports Samsung Galaxy S but I am not sure how it will work on the AT&T Captivate. I seem to remember reading that it should work a few weeks ago when it was still in testing but am a little skeptical about installing without confirmation.
Has anyone tried this ROM on a Captivate or T-Mobile Vibrant?
Should have looked on their wiki first.
I'm trying this and will let everyone know how it goes.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Samsung_Galaxy_S_(Captivate)
I was wondering the exact same thing. I have heard a lot of praises for this ROM in general.
Going to flash this as well.
I am shocked to see the mirror posted. They said it wouldnt be supported until version 6.1 (vibrant). Wes has a Vibrant, and from all ive read that was the galaxy s unit that was being used for c-mod. Although I think I do remember someone getting an I9000, cant remember who though.

I would advise against trying this until CM 6.1

There is no cyanogen for the galaxy s line yet. That guide has been available for quite some time (and seems to just be a template) and even remarks that there is no running version for the galaxy s yet.

Just realized this myself. Definitely waiting until 6.1.

OTA finally, they are pretty slow.
Are you really going to limit your device with that garbage? Samsung and att have no idea what they are doing.

I think you just answered my concerns....
I did the update through Kies mini when it first came available and then 2 days ago did AIO tool and put on Phoenix ultimate so everything still worked for me. Odin, CWM, download mode....
Not Dev-related and other than there's about 6 threads with this same "news," if you had done some research beforehand you would know about the 3e recovery and rooting issues.
I tried bt feel bad so m back to diff rom

Few Qs about Gingerbread for P1010 wifi only

Hi,
The GB update is out but as i can see it is only for the P1000s. So my ultra noob question is if this update is suitable for P1010?
Edit: Since the P1010 would not work with the p1000 Gingerbread, please tell me if there are going to be any official P1010 Gingerbread Updates?
Thanks in advnace.
No, diferent hardware!
I just read in a spanish forum that the P1010 may get the gingerbread update from samsung. Just sit and wait.
any updates?
No and and there is nothing here either for the unloved p1010
It seems to be a lonely orphan.
tell me about it, hopefully Spacemoose1 will be able to bring it into the family of Honey soon enough though >:¬}
Updates for p1010?? I give up.
Not even custom ROMs if not from Samsung?
I got this responses from samsung support last week:

[Q] Help with getting ICS ????

HI Guys,
I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note n7000 (unlocked version).
It is currently running Android OS: 2.3.6
Baseband: N7000XXLA4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
[email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
Network currently being used: o2 UK.
Now I have tried to update the phone over Wifi to get the latest ICS update, with No luck =(...... I have downloaded and updated to the latest Kies Version and still No luck. Now I have scooted about on the internet and have found so many different articles as to when it will or might be realeased and apparently I should have access to the ICS update by now. THE QUESTION IS: Why cant I upgrade to ICS?????.... and if not, can somone Please be so kind to send me the links to the ROM instructions so I can get this little baby rocking and rolling with the Ice cream sandwitch goodness.
NOTE: I have Rooted and put a custom ROM on my Motorola XOOM tablet so I am not to affraid to get my hands dirty with ROM's. I could do with some instructions that would go through it again to remind me, I just need to find the right ROM so I do not brick it.
Many Thanks guys!!!

Look in the general section for the Cyanogen Mod 9 Discussion, download the latest build and follow the flashing instructions and you will end up with Android 4.0.4 ICS, its not official, its not touchwiz, but hey who needs that when there are great alternatives to everything samsung provide.
Just remember to read the instructions (more than once) and avoid flashing from any other ICS based rom.
Enjoy the ICS goodness.

How about calm down and jump off your high horse for one moment.
First, I HAVE done research!, the only reason I asked is due to how quickly things can change with Android ROMs.
Second, Is this how you treat new people instantly with ignorance?.
I thought the Xda developers forum Is a place for people to work together, NOT a place for Troll keyboard warriors......
BTW Thank to the other guy who actualy answered my question with a normal response!
Your welcome.
I do agree that you could have found this information out with some searching but hey, we all miss things sometimes so its no big issue to me. Also feel free to use the thanks button under my post to say thank you
have a good day.

I think at the end of the day its not a personal attack at you or anything but just people getting fed up with people not reading the sticked threads and looking before posting, its not just you alot of people do this sort of thing. And trust me the second ICS is downloadable there will be 1000+ threads in the general section saying so.
For info on what xda 'is' see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441

i see you took a general comment personally, thats not my issue, if you had done your research you would know that ics isnt available via an update
come on guys .. he is new .. he will take some time to get there. We all did
you already got the answer by now.. There is no Samsung official ICS for Note.
As for Custom, there are a lot of options in the Development section.
Follow the instructions to the line and not just follow them but understand them before you proceed.
I hear that CM9 is the best so far.. but i see more patches adding to it on a daily basis to improve it more and more.
As of me .. am on Stunner ICS.. lot of FC's for now .. but a good build.

No, you didn't do "research" - you logged in and typed a stupid question. It is people like you that make this forum almost impossible to find important info - lazy fools who think it is everyone else's job to read the posts and explain them. See my post count? It is not very high. You know why? Because I READ.
Your indignation falls on deaf ears.
Hi,
I have the same device but on Orange (UK).
I also am awaiting the android 4 (ICS) and i have spoken to both Samsung and my network. Their responses are varied, but it is generally the same as other news updates and that is "ICS will be scheduled for release during spring but some networks could be later due to their own testing regimes. The Galaxy s2 has just received the update, the note shouldnt be to far behind".
Another option is to goto facebook and search "samsung mobile uk" and watch the news there, as theyll post on that page once networks release it.
So contrary to popular belief, ics is coming, it does exist (a american AT&T handset in the usa has been spotted with the official build) but it isnt available for general release yet.
Thanks,

I717 aka AT&T Note is a completely different device from our Note, they just share the same name.
So, the fact that they already have ICS means nothing for us here.

Hi,
judging by the specifications on both devices (UK and USA), the differences are limited to storage and processor. the rest of them are just optional differences that make no real difference apart data bandwidths/frequencies etc.
The handsets look the same, work the same, 95% the same hardware wise.
The i7i7 has a Dual Core 1.5 scorpion chip set and the N700 has the dual core 1.4 ARM cortex a9. that is probably the most distinctive and most noticeable difference.
I know that the chipset determines alot of the efficiency and manner inwhich the phone reacts. but considering the chipsets vary between the Galaxy s2 and say, the HTC X one. Both chipsets vastly different, both running ICS, Both sides of the atlantic. I think that American Note running it, and us not yet due to sharing a name only is not the best reply. same as I am sure there are similar differences between the S2 for Asia, and the S2 for Europe and the USA. Yet I think they already have or are getting ICS too.
I hold out hope that we will receive the update soon enough. Once samsung sign it off for the device, it gets passed to the network operators who then in turn rigorously test the device with the new update before deciding to distribute or pursue changes.
It is happening, just wish it would hurry the hell up.
If you really want to see how vastly different they are, pop over to AT&T forum
and try to flash one of their Roms. Come back and tell us how it went.
Different processors equals completely different kernels and drivers. Tell me how
that doesn't equal to different phones, please.
Just saw this on tech news on my flipboard. Available for n7000 and i7i7 according to the news. Say what? *moonwalks out of the room*
Just need it to filter through now
