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?
SuperCurio has a few dozen tweets on the NS kernel already http://twitter.com/#!/supercurio and set up an IRC chatroom #NSdev

not so fast kids
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

Sweeeeeeeeeeet... Can't wait to see what happens with this. Hopefully Gingerbread for us before even Froyo is officially released.

Found it on i9000 Forums.
Pretty awesome, does this help us?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/T4XZJCZnqF8
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??

Lol they are here, but I would put my Bet on CM. We won't see a working rom I believe for at least a month.

They will be greatly helped with this source.

Great move by G, and sweet for all of us!! Sadly, I am only chiming in and am in no way a chef but I give it a at most a week for a lot of legitimate ICS related software starts appearing; the right track for full roms in a month or so.. Who knows what obstacles lie in 4.0.1 though...

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.

This is merely A1 sauce at the moment.

This doesn't sound good...
Ya trying to get ics on our phones will be as bad as trying to get gingerbread or have you guys forgotten about that? And xmas is far from perfect and there's no cm devs even with a vibrant...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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!!
I'm optimistic I know they got sdk to work I have confidence in the devs it well come by end of year

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Sounds like no device left behind eh guys?
Looking at the other devices HTC G1, Sony x10i, Motorola defy, Samsung gs2...all have started getting ICS but we have no hope.... not a single dev has said anything about it.... is this phone so alienated from the scene?

My guess is it's a question of popularity. Of course, devs will start porting to their own phones first. For example the GSII was named the phone of the year (I don't believe it) so many people got their hands on it. The Incredible S will be able to run it and its only a question of time I'm sure until someone decides to port it over. Personally, I got my money on CyanogenMod to bring it over here first as an AOSP port.

Does it also mean no more Nightlies until then? I wasn't around for the Gingerbread release.

Steve Kondik said to "check back in a couple of months" after the ICS sources got released, but it's a very rough timescale.
Nightly build servers are busted at the moment, probably back up after the weekend.

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?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I guess once it is on Nexus S - it will be ported by crafty ROM devs.
I hope so
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
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.
AOSP officailll!
We’re releasing Android 4.1 in AOSP today.
The name of the tagged release is android-4.1.1_r1.
The name of the development branch is jb-dev.
We recommend that you create new clients, even if you’re working in the master branch. It’ll make your clients smaller and faster to sync.
Proprietary binaries are available for Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus. Nexus S and Xoom will follow.
JBQ, on behalf of the entire Android team at Google.

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.
Mkalter has build JB for Galaxy S. And our Cappy not too far to experience JB
Hi!
I am just wondering if anyone is working on a port of the S3 4.2.2 leak?
Me too.

The rom for our phones should be released by the end of June...
Why would you want a port of an unfinished test beta firmware ??

I don't see why it would be that hard since most of the stuff we get comes from the i9300.
I have even seen a port from the i7105 for ours.
I would do it if I knew what I was doing.

Somebody with some spare time should try to port it with the guide that audism has written!
Im just wondering if s3 will not get air gesture features because of lack in RAM, will our i9305 get it? Because it has twice ram as i9300. Just asking.
I9300/I9305 are actually lacking some hardware compared to the S4 like the 2 infra-red sensors around the top speaker.
I don't know about Sammy releases, but AOSP ROMs are available in a number of flavours. Just head over to the Android Dev forum...
