What are your thoughts? Is it possible? I think the hardware is capable of handling ICS, and I would love to have GPU-acceleration. I knows in some unofficial way there will be ICS(CM7 for example) but if Samsung decides to release it official then it show that they still care.
I think yes,we will be getting ICS.But we will have to wait few months after google offcially releases ICS

Considering the sgs2 is already out and quite successful, I personally doubt the sgs1 will get ICS from Samsung.
Of course getting ICS ROMs from XDA devs is another thing completely, and is pretty well certain.

Maybe thats what they are working on and why we have nothing new since JVR?
from what ive know samsung was undecided if sgs1 hardware is enought for ics just few months ago,
but at the same time if it would be ok they wanted ics on sgs1
we saw screenies from first alfa compiles for nexuss that is basicly sgs1 with nfc and flashlight so i hope that it is only a matter of time that they will start working (or already started) on a sgs1 version
will be the same as with ginger, first hopefully very early leak (as with jv1)
then months of developing with leaks here and there to forums to iron bugs in mass testing
and after a half of year first pushes (so probaby first leak ~january and around may july first official ones)
sure the process will go faster fo new nexusprime and sgs2 as those are the main devices now
but where to iron most bugs like on a well known device (i hope) hhe
I think no u.u maybe the galaxy s2
From my Galaxy S
Google stated on the IO, that devices capable running Gingerbread is also capable running ICS.
OK, I'll ask ..... what is ICS?

sony ericsson said that every xperia from 2011 will get ics. the arc is weaker than galaxy s,so it should run perfectly on our sgs.

[Updated] Sony Ericsson Promises 2011 XPERIA Line Will Get Ice Cream Sandwich, We Try To Act Skeptical
Sony Ericsson: No Decision Has Been Made To Bring Ice Cream Sandwich To Xperia Devices
I personally dont think Sony Ericsson will abandon Xperia Arc, Neo etc, I think they'll get ICS and I really hope Samsung also release it for SGS, I think the hardware can manage it perfectly
Hmm 2.3.4 is released for SGS2, i still have not recived official 2.3.4 here in sweden..very odd
The thing is, even if our galaxy s does get ics, it might not work flawlessly. On eclair, the galaxy s had around 200Mb of RAM on boot, while on froyo it had around 160Mb or RAM. However, on gringerbread, it only has about 120-140Mb of RAM upon boot, and after just a day of usage, it can drop up to 80-90Mb, causing the phone to operate rather slowly, something which did not happen when I was on froyo. So, my fear is that the RAM requirements of the ics might be a tad too high for the galaxy s to handle for long term usage.
I agree with rschenk. I think hardware is not a problem about Galaxy S but when I saw how long we have been waiting for gingerbread... Maybe official release ICS for Galaxy S will be a year after google release the ICS SDK.

There is always a solution. Look what they did with HTC Desire to get gingerbread, they removed some integrated programs to free up ram, same thing could be done with SGS
As already said they could just clean some useless stock apps (there are enough ) and then we'll have no problem with RAM.
Looks like we will get it.
http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile...xus-one-and-most-gingerbread-phones-20111019/
of course we will
that was obvious as soon as the leaked ICS video emerged running very well on Nexus S preceded with screenshots of system settings/system info also from Nexus S - everything that runs there runs easily on SGS1 - it was rumored that it will run on almost every device capable running GB - it just got confirmed
after Galaxy Nexus it will be first (at least officialy) SGS2 / Nexus S / Galaxy Note probably and then Nexus One and SGS1
there will be no official ICS prior to Galaxy Nexus Premiere
but i belive in leaks so we might get some early build leaks
but that will be best guarded scret of Samsung/Google till then =)
As first:
We will use icecream and jellybean and later on our device. %100.
Cyanogenmod?
Samsung will release Ice Cream for our devices too.. It's %100 and I think we will get ice cream earlier than SGS2! Look how we get 2.3.5 earlier. That's not %100. But that's; We will use a few more updates on our devices.

With ice cream sandwich coming out at the end of the year, does galaxy tab not qualify for it? As far as i know its within the 18 period for upgrades as specified by google. Or am i completely wrong on the release date?

i don't think so. even honeycomb will not come in our tab officially but thanks to Spacemoose1 we will have HC soon.
I dont think so either.. I got my tab 6 months ago and feel like its already outdated by the dual cores out now like the xoom and new galaxy tab 10 and with the new icecream comming up I dont think that itll be getting the update.. Also by hearing talk of quad cores coming out.. Im not 100% but I have read they want to push the new android cause the new apple os they want android phones n tabs based on the same instead of froyo n gingerbread on phones and honeycomb on tabs. Who knows we might end up seeing it... Until they announce it we wont know for sure.
Galaxy Tab is a high end device, samsung should take care of their high end customers.
If not, there is CyanogenMod. I get android 2.3.5 faster than Samsung's release
I might get Ice Cream Sandwich faster than Samsung release as well
Guys, we will always get faster releases from Spacemoose, the CM team, ect, as it pertains to the Galaxy Tab. Unfortunately, the device was "dead on arrival", and has seen almost zero support from the carriers or Samsung. I firmly believe that (while the Tab is spectacular) it was nothing more than a "feeler"… a test product, thrown into the market, in order to guage the public's desire for tablet devices. I'm pretty sure that the 10.1, Xoom, and other tablets were already being tested when the 7" Tab came out, and that it was always the plan to make the 10" tablets the real "powerhouse" devices. Fortunately, we have great devs on XDA, who thumb their noses at Samsung's lack of support, and work hard to get us at least one or two really excellent ROMs. No doubt, we will never see a Honeycomb or ICS OTA, but Space is working to complete the Honeycomb 3.2 port, and I'm sure we'll see an ICS firmware almost as soon as it drops! Happy flashing guys!!

Looking back in time,I remember how Samsung did some fabulous polishing work on Froyo 2.2.1 even after the release of the first GBs.I was glued to the last of the 2.2.1s before migrating to GB.
Between JVP to the leaked JVT,I see polish being added and now that ICS is just around the corner,Samsung must be able to release the full fury of GB---HOPEFULLY!
History has always repeated itself so let's hope for the best!
...so now it is here even though as a provider affair but a more common leak with multi CSC can't be far behind.more polished than XXJVT
Waiting for ICS. I don't think there will be major changes in next release.
i am also waiting for ICS
It's time not for a ROM but for a position from Samsung if Galaxy S will be getting ICS or not. They fooled me very much in buying this thing in the GPS department ( GSMArena also, with the review against Iphone 4 that praised this piece of crap stock software they loaded in this great hardware ). The least they could do is bring ICS to I9000. If they don't do this, then I am really, really sorry but Samsung and Android failed to me and I learned my lesson and no more Samsung or Android devices for me if they continue doing this.
WHY? Samsung has been one of the first manufactures that constantly updates their devices, obviously most of the updates are leaked, but thoos exist. Not like Sony Ericcson wich wasted months to develop GB to their xperia line.
I don't know the case of LG, Motorola, or others. But samsung and HTC are the best option (for me) on android, based on devices and updates.

I really wonder if Sammy would update our phones to ICS. Not that i'm going to use samsung rom (they're so damn slow), it's just interesting.

Dude, if we become ICS it will look like GB, just with TW3. So no black lines. I think and I hobe that we get ICS, because Samsung will keep us as their Customers. And I'm the first who will buy a Samsung phone after my contract expires

The Galaxy S2 gets ICS, but the i9000 only get a rumour so far
I've been searching a little bit and found this: http://getsatisfaction.com/samsungmobilein/topics/will_galaxy_s_plus_get_android_4_0_update
Does it mean we'll get ICS, or not?
No... Samsung claims that Galaxy S isn't powerful enough for it. This may be true if you talk about ICS with Samsung's overlay programs (i.e. Touchwiz), but ICS is ALREADY working pretty darned well on our beloved handsets. Check out Onecosmic and Team Hacksung in the dev section. I am running OneCosmic's RC3.1 and it works wonderfully...

If they can make ICS work on Google Nexus S, they can make it work for this devices. The official ICS runs flawlessly on my dad's Nexus S. They obviously don't want to, because if they remove all of the bloatware, there will be enough space for everything.
Exactly. We KNOW it will work because we have ports that work almost perfectly already. But Samsung is in the business of selling phones, and you don't sell more phones by letting people with 2 year old handsets experience the same quality as those with new handsets.
I think we will get some Value pack, smth between GB and ICS

As I read somewhere that due to high demand of customers who are applying to update our SGS Samsung is reconsidering whether this is possible, though they updated the Nexus S should be able update the SGS. But for now it is official that there is no update.
But anyway Onecosmic's and TeamHacksung ports are functional and stables. We also have the ROM MIUI.

Nah that was a while ago, this website itself informed us Samsung wasn't doing it (probably said it to calm us down a bit then they quietly announced no value pack) so well Samsung are in clean language, not my favourite company anymore :L yeah the ports are better than anything Sammy would give us anyway not a fan of miui though

im not pretty sure about this but i read some things about this 4.0.5 and it was said it was going to be released on i9000
4.0.5 said to be has a BIG performance fix..
i got this news from this link
http://www.androiddigit.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-and-nexus-s-to-get-android-4-0-5-ics-in-march/
Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S
The news link clearly states only the galaxy nexus and nexus S. Plus it was abundantly made clear in older news posts around the net that the i9000 is not getting ICS and neither will it get the rumored Value pack. As I too am a i9000 user, it kinda sucks to know this
i know samsung said something like that...
but.. dude i think theres a big possibility due to this
Performance FIX thing.. because thats the only one stopping from galaxy S to ICS is Performance..
I'm no great shake on what appears to me to be French, but...
1) Your Article was written for the Nexus and Nexus S and not for the GT-I900Xx (a.k.a the Galaxy S)
2) Where the Article in question even mentions the Galaxy S (Some Table taken from a presumably French source), states quite clearly (even to a non French speaker like myself that the Galaxy S is to only get Android 2.3.6 (Presumably the Value Pack Version), release date February 2012 to be released over Kies.
To indirectly quote your Source it was a table of Official Updates for their current line of Phones.
So I fail to see where you misread this Article into thinking that the Galaxy S was somehow going to get an ICS Update, when Samsung have up to this point stressed that they would not, or could not officially update the GT-I900Xx do to whatever limitations between Touchwiz 3.0 and ICS.
**Edit** What Samsung we're not even gonna get the Value Pack now?
/r/ Sauce kthnxbye!
No chance! Wishful thinking at best. SGS is useless with its 512mb RAM. Either that or the software engineers at Samsung can only compile bloat. The latest iOS seems to function perfectly on iphone4 though. Split between whether i should wait for SGS3 or grab the next iphone and jailbreak the hell outta it. Hmm decisions decisions...

sgs has enough power to ics to work fine
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Samsung might forget us, but XDA devs won't! And if the unofficial ICS builds are any indication, our phone sure is powerful enough to handle ICS.
It sure does suck that we're not getting official ICS, but the awesome community here has infinitely improved my experience, so for that I'm glad and grateful.
Like Samsung is going to go trough the trouble of making an ICS version for a phone that is almost two years old.
I'd rather have them focus on creating top-notch software for my next phone..... The SGSIII......
Hi guys
I just wondering when android will stop support our phones.
I love my phone and i hate that there is no official newer version of android. I mean 4.x ver.
So what do you think ?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using Tapatalk 2
Well it depends how much resources future android versions take up. The main bottleneck for this phone is the slow storage chip and 512MB of RAM, which will prove hard to overcome if future android versions ask for even more from these 2 compartments. Jelly bean is already making the sgs1 crap itself out from time to time, but these issues will hopefully resolve over time, given the amazing work the devs over here have done in ICS.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
If you mean official support, there's none already.
Samsung did a really bad job, both in the extreme delays in the updates it released and in stopping updates at gingerbread (already 2 versions behind current development).
Google could have helped by directly supporting the i9000, since it's so similar to the nexus s.
But unfortunately, they didn't.
A shame, since this is THE device that took android to the next level.
Fortunately, there's the great work by teamhacksung and cm to keep up with current development.

I wouldn't be so sure, I just came from the xperia x8. We stopped getting support at 2.1 yet we still have almost bugless ICS ROMs (minus h/w decoding) plus two cm10 ROMs have just been released. All that from a 600Mhz phone with only 190mb usable RAM.
I haven't had any problems so far with jb. Everything's fast and smooth with very little lag which was only when running multiple Gameloft games.

well yes,but only because the nand is far to slow.

Technically, jelly bean also was too resource hungry for our phones, but the devs managed to do various workarounds.
So it doesn't necessarily mean that the next android version cannot be shoe horned onto our phones.
