[Q] AOSP ROM for Galaxy S?

Hey guys, been out of the loop for a while as I've been settled on JPY for a few weeks now. However, I saw a friend flash his Desire today with Oxygen, a gingerbread-based AOSP ROM. All the SGS ROMs I can find so far are based on the stock Samsung firmware - is there any work being done on a full AOSP ROM like Oxygen or Cyanogen? I can't find any details about this anywhere.

I am very curious about this question. Because if answer is simply no, it's time to sell Galaxy S. Gingerbread will be the last update from Samsung and AOSP could be the future of this phone then CM7 for SGS seems to have big problems and it's the only AOSP ROM for SGS which I'm aware of...

What big problems?
I'm using CM7 for a month right now and it's pretty stable if i can say. Yes, it lacks some features and some bugs are not fixed yet (theres a workaround tho), but if you follow it's thread the progress they make are great. They're already into mainline, so probably it will reach RC status in a month/maybe less, who knows.
After the devs are done, i think there will be a custom ROM based on CM7/AOSP.

CM7 is getting there. And with Gingerbread coming out, that should make things easier for the dev.

Yes, but with no source then there is nothing big. GB leak, only helped them with "less" important stuff (FM radio, etc.)

[Q] Update to latest android version?

Hi,
I bought this phone on Dec2011.
My phone uses android version 2.2.2.
Even i wanted to update to the latest android version.When i signed in this forum, i could see so many posts for updates.
I just gone through the reviews and it was mentioned that gingerbread is having some bugs.
Froyo(2.2) is bug free.
upcoming Ice cream sandwitch is the best one.
I am just confused ,like whether i should use 2.2 and wait for Ice cream sandwitch ?
Just help me.

Hi,
I would recommend you using gingerbread, although it has bugs, but the enhancements it brings compared to froyo, is worth the upgrade. The stock rom should have general stability and performance balance. It's when you use custom GB roms where there are bugs arised from modding the system, but in return, you get more performance than stock.
LG took almost 8mths to deliever GB to this phone, which was just back on October. I bet that waiting for ICS will also take very long. Unless you're waiting for CM9, then the nightlies should be available in a few weeks.
Cheers!

Thanks a lot
As of now only 7.1 version, is shown in cyanogenmod homepage.
So,Finally i decided that i will download CM9.
if i download CM9 nightly , at later stage can i update to stable mod?

Hello!
Of course you can update to any rom at any time....#
You might loose you data in some case when a full wipe is needed – so always back up.
I would recommend MyPhoneExplorer for contacts, SMS, calendar etc. and Titanium BackUp for your apps.
Right know I would recommend to either flash a CM7.2.0-RC0-KANG or a custom rom based on stock sources like i.e. gueste's rom. You get better stability and a lot more speed/smoothness.
I wouldn’t recommend CM7.1 stable since it isn’t actually very stable and rather old now.
If you want to stay on pure stock an update to the latest available Update from LG to GB is advisable, since it fixed a lot of issues and is faster than the old froyo stuff.

[Q] Honeycomb for Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000

Hello.
Does anyone know where i can download Honeycomb for the Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000? it doesn't matter if there is no phone or 3G on it.
Thanks!

No Honeycomb for SGT7 I'm afraid...
There was an unnoficial port being worked on but development has been stopped since ICS came out.
There's an ICS (CM9) build on the development forums, that isn't recommended for people that are new to the whole flashing scene since it is still in development and has a few bugs (camera doesn't work for example). This is your best bet for tablet UI on SGT7. There's also icedBoca by Dizgustipated which is his own version of CM9, also has bugs and still in development. Do NOT flash these ROMS if you don't know what you're doing and if you will be annoyed by a few bugs.
CM9 by Te4m
icedBoca by Dizgustipated

Actually, although it was never completed, as Stilm said, I did play with it for a couple of weeks and found it mostly usable...

I would strongly recommend going for an ICS build when they're ready though, but just not yet. Development will obviously be an ongoing thing for the ICS builds but it does look like HC development has stopped.

[Q] ICS4 Galaxy Note?????? Help

Good Afternoon,
Haven't posted here in a while, hope everyone's well.
I need some assistance, I am trying to Root my Galaxy Note,
and get it to run ICS. I read that samsung was to release
the ICS 4.0 for the Note, but haven't seen anything about it anymore.
My main reason is the face unlock. Really want this feature,
I bought an app that does it, but it's buggy.
So i figured i'd turn to the experts.
Here are my stats:
Unlocked, Bought in Germany (still in germany
Model GT-N7000
Android Version 2.3.6
Baseband N7000XXLA4
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-n7000xxla4-CL886827 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA4
Soooooo, what do you think?

Well, ICS is coming to Note. There has already been an early leak (by early I mean they are not yet suitable to most users because of bugs etc) and custom ICS ROMs are also coming out more and more.
Last thing I heard officially was that the official release will be here Q1, so that would mean this month. There has been some speculation that we will only see a Galaxy S II release on March and Note will be later, but, as far as I know, that is just speculation and not official.
So, just wait and see - it'll be released comparatively soon
added: sorry, I misread your post and didn't notice that you actually wanted to root your phone and install ICS now. If you do, keep in mind that the current ICS ROMs are still buggy.
If you want to, here is a nice guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1509703

If you want root first then follow This Thread
and Installing ICS Imilka AOSP ROM from This thread

you have posted this twidce now

Richy99,
My apologies, i posted under the wrong thread then changed it.
I didn't really want to root, but if it doesn't come soon enough i guess I will.
I got excited and thought cause i'm in germany maybe it was released, and i just freakin updated to Baseband LB1 which means i probably just shot myself in the foot and now will have to wait for the official release.
anywho i guess i'll keep doing research.
Thanks everyone!
(can i root LB1 Baseband )

[Q] Note on GB.. ICS Rom etc

HI guys,
First of all great to be part of this community. This is my first Android phone after being an IOS user since the original iphone. I just like change so decided to jump on the android wagon. i gotta say so far i love it i have HC on the 7plus tab and my note is on GB 2.3.6 xxla4a and i think its a saudi phone n700jpla1 kernel. Now here's the deal the note is new i didnt change anything so not rooted its unloccked though, now i want to install stock ics or the galaxy sIII rom.
Before you start bashing, i read a lot but it is so confusing i don't wanna mess up the phone. I just want the easiest way to flash stock stable ics build and root it. the IOS was very limited you only had to jailbreak and there was a site with all tutorials to do it. With android there are so many possibilities from what i read (custom roms and dif kernels) yet it's not all in one place.
So to sum it up if a kind soul can help me out i'll be very grateful.
Thanks

Please note thing first - You cannot flash a Galaxy SIII Rom on to the Note. You cannot flash ROMs of any other devices on the Galaxy Note. (You can try but that kind of an exercise would brick your phone instantly). Different phones have different ROM structures which are not interchangeable. In fact you have to ensure that you only flash ROMs for your particular model which is GT-N7000.

and if you want stock ICS better to wait for stable version

The first post should help you get clarity on how to install ICS (specifically the LPY version) and root it.
BTW it would be advisable to stay with GB for now. There is a bug with the all ICS versions so far that might cause a fully bricked phone. Read about it in the stickied posts in the development section.

Thanks for the replies you just confirmed what i was afraid. i'll just stick to GB for now until the update rolls out on my phone evetnough i'm not sure i will get one soon. lastly i'm getting the s3 when it comes out.Going all in with Samsung
