Nice!!

THATS GOOD NEWS!! If this phone is full aosp supported porting roms should be A LOT easier!
Thanks. This is good.
Hope for the continued legacy of the SGS line!

Well, very soon we will see if Nexus hardware is really nearly identical to Vibrant's and if the kernel port is straightforward... I surely hope so

Who needs porting when you could build a ROM straight from source?
This maybe be a bit of a n00b Question buuuuuuttttttt.... What does this mean or potentially mean for us SGS owners?

It's the source code. So developers could build new ROMs based on Gingerbread and since Nexus S is pretty similar to galaxy S, it's a lot easier to come with better ROMs than stock., faster.

I haven't really seen anyone address the fact that these phones have different file systems. Wont our RFS file systen be an obstacle? Or will it make porting as much work as CM is?

Looks like sd drive, wifi, gps, and bluetooth modules are different in Nexus S. and on top of that Nexus is using iNAND and Vibrant RFS. Remember how difficult it was to port Galaxy S rom to Vibrant, well looks like this brings the whole new meaning to difficult.
What you are forgetting is with the i9000 source and nexus source it is possible for a full port

Hello. That's our 17. month with our devices. I hear somewhere 18 months total for developing officaly. Do you think that's last rom for sgs? I guess that is. And no chance for ice cream by samsung. Because they don't want to work for a new touchwiz again for our old sgs. Just my idea. What do you think?
Read somewhere that samsung wanna bring ics to sgs too. Maybe its the end for gingerbread but not for the develop of sgs.

Cyanogen team will continue developing anyway, so i'm not worried we won't get ICS for our devices
Impossible to say at the moment. It's been confirmed for the SGS2, but not the SGS (yet... ).
Hopefully the waiting game will prove successful for us.

No,it's not. Samsung has very few good phones( 512mb ram,1gz minimum,single or dual core,3.7 inches or more),5 or 6, so it would be a good move to bring ics to those.
I'm seeing a lot of devices getting ics sdk ports or atleast starting to(in pre alpha stage) I was wondering if anyone wanted to attempt that on our d3s because it doesn't look like we're getting cm9 soon because were not even officially supported for cm7.

The Nexus will be out before the month's end, and the source code will drop in the following 2-4 weeks. If someone built it from SDK, they'd have to start it all over again after the source drops.
ya but that means source wont drop till xmas and then by the time someone has a working build moto will be releasing there official build so it doesnt really do anything for us

It might be a fun exercise, and fun to play around with, but sdk ports are buggy and wont have the framework that really makes up ICS. It would basically GB + some ICS features/apps, since all we have access to is some apps and what they ask for
Sent from my Droid 3 via the air
I hope no one is wasting time working on a port from a Software Development Kit (SDK) emulator "ROM" that is incomplete and lacking. SDK's are for app developers to test, not for ROMs to be be made.
Once the source hits....you'll have a better chance of getting ICS, AND a much better and complete ROM.
I really hope no one is working on an SDK port "ROM" for the D3.

The current devs we have are still working on the roms they first put out. We will not get an SDK port. We'll start to see ICS when the source is released.

Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Just to be clear, I'm not working on an ICS port from the SDK. Sorry :/
While I applaud jellydroid13's enthusiasm, there is still alot of work to be done getting the D3 to be more AOSP friendly. This includes working on getting the audio drivers working correctly, BT updated, overlays which don't have PBUNDERUN events every 30 seconds, camera routines to iron out, etc.
Fixing these issues in Gingerbread where our kernel matches up with the source, gives us a better chance at then migrating working source to a true ICS port later.
There is also a fairly sizable kernel hurdle to jump as well.
Just my 2-cents.
Please keep all posts related to development only.
That means NO: "OMG looks good, great work, just want HW accel and it will be my daily"
No posting on how it runs on your phone, how you can't wait etc etc. This is for development, posting new builds and changelogs, and that's it.

I guess they got tired of waiting for Verizon to get off their ass and release it. Ball's in your court now, big red!
Um... where do you think big red gets their sources from? lol... Nobody has the source until google releases it.
I think he meant releasing the nexus. Not source. Their taking forever to release nexus so Google released source.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Google hasn't even released the Nexus yet, so of course Verizon won't have yet. They usually release the source right around the same time the corresponding Nexus device hits, so if this is any indication, the GN is right around the corner

Pretty awesome, does this help us?

I'll post what I posted in the other thread since this may get more traffic
could some devs explain to me what type under the hood improvements ics offers over gingerbread. specifically concerning battery life, will ics roms for the vibrant have better battery life than gb roms?
CAN'T ****ING WAIT UNTIL CM9!!! I'M GETTING MOIST JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
Awesome news! Looking forward to seeing how ICS's benefits work out on the Vibrant, especially hardware acceleration (finally).
Where are all the devs? Thought this thread would be flooded with comments, I guess the vibrant is just too old now??

Starting with IceCreamSandwich, the Android Open-Source Project can't be used from pure source code only, and requires additional hardware-related proprietary libraries to run, specifically for hardware graphics acceleration.
Official binaries for Nexus S, Nexus S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, and PandaBoard can be downloaded from Google's Nexus driver page, which add access to additional hardware capabilities with non-Open-Source code.
There are no official binaries for Nexus One, ADP2 or ADP1.

Hold on to your horsies people, it's gonna be a long time before we see ICS on our Vibrants if at all we do. Porting ICS is much more difficult than GB I believe. And we all know how difficult GB was.
Would be nice to see this!!

Similar in the sense that many months out with non-official 2.3 we still have buggy and feature incomplete gingerbread derivatives?
The only real upside, given that the phone stopped being supported by Samsung and T-Mobile ages ago, is that the uphill struggle with ICS will probably be no worse than it was with GB.
dont forget our non FFC phones, are gonna make face unlock obsolete... and ones with FFC probably too low resolution and speed...
But doesn't the fact that cyanogenmod officially supports the vibrant mean that when cm9 hits, that all non-nexus devices aren't too far behind? Isn't that the point of "officially" supporting a device?

Jelly bean has been made official and I'm here wondering if there's any devs out there planning on porting to cappy... or is everyone working on S3 ROMS?

I guess once it is on Nexus S - it will be ported by crafty ROM devs.
I hope so

No need to hope. This is xda. I have every confidence that it will be ported!
Also these amazing people on XDA are keeping my Cappy blazing fast and I will support them with at least a $10 donation. There work is allowing me to wait to upgrade for when the next nexus phone comes out.

I'd say don't upgrade until phone breaks. It will be just another Android, you can do the same things on Cappy today. I got S3 - I'm telling you.
Your right I know they will.. they already seem to be porting it to nexus S in sure they can port over to cappy
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
They are trying to port it to cappy now. I found a link to an irc channel that has a jelly bean test rom for the cappy. I couldn't figure out what was going on on the page I'm a real noob at this stuff. It was like a chat room. I was told it was under dev so I would have to wait :-( So its definitely being worked on. Hopefully soon I can feed my flash addiction
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
I'm sure somebody will make a port. That is one great thing about the Captivate is that it is pretty well supported. Helps that it is a galaxy s. I intend to use mine until it breaks or can't run the latest software.
Jelly bean
I will definitely wait eagerly for a CyanogenMod build of android 4.1.
The Samsung Captivate is now not only officially supported by AOKP, but the Captivate work in the AOKP effort is done by the creator of the ROM, roman, and not just some random volunteer developer.
Work on a Jelly Bean based AOKP will begin once the official Jelly Bean source is released.
I thought all the galaxy s work was maintained by sixstringsg and Stephen.k.spear. I could be wrong though.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I really miss my Captivate when I visit this section of the forum. It really was a burly piece of hardware and I now keep it around to flash with the newest ROMs to check them out. Can't wait to see what the Devs come up with in regards of JB.
I find it pretty remarkable that the devs here keep up the porting for a phone that's 2+ years old, considering all the new devices out today. But I'm fully convinced that it'll be ported.
I wish my cappy was still working (suffered from the Encryption Unsuccessful issue) I kinda miss using it sometimes when I see it sitting on my desk. If it was working I would love to test out some JB roms for it.
Can't wait! Getting ICS on my phone was such a big improvement in smoothness and speed and knowing JB is focused on just that makes me want it now!!
Looking forward to install JB on my phone once it is available.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Since Jelly Bean is a minor update of ICS, i think will be several roms for cappy.

Software wise, that's mostly true. Hardware wise, not so much. I wouldn't upgrade for the next version of android, but I do upgrade for better camera's, more application memory, faster processor, nfc, better display, etc.
