ICS Nexus S vs Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys im not sure but why the heck is there ice cream sandwich for Googles Nexus S and no ICS for Galaxy S? I mean they both have a same 1Ghz CPU, 512 MB RAM, same GPU. In fact galaxy s has a better Super Amoled screen... Can you guys tell me why? Thanks.

Samsung profiteering!

Nexus S is getting Jelly Bean as well don't forget
Profiting and being arseholes perhaps

Because Samsung wants you to think that your Galaxy S is old and that you need to spend 600€ on a Galaxy S III
But we have wonderful developers!

It's one of google's dark secrets The Galaxy s is a bit older than Nexus s maybe it explains this decision...
But THIS is the real aswer

Bad google very bad

The official statement is that there wasn't enough storage. That is, not enough if Samsung added all their bloated Touchwiz and that kind of crap. So rather than providing a pure ICS experience, or slimming down their addons they just decided not to care, skip updating and hope we buy a new phone. They would also have had to create a separate Touchwiz for ICS for the galaxy S, since I doubt they would have let us have the same as for the S2.

Either way they win, Nexus is manufactured by Samsung.

Exactly. They both manufactured their CPU, GPU and RAM. They are cooperating with each other, thus making more profit.

You must have never had an OG droid. We had a semi-functioning HTC Sense rom back in the day.
That said it never placed calls or had data, but it was fun to look at hah.
christ another thread about this, do people not use the search function?

You posted pretty much question in a different post. No need for two​

[Q] Which one do u think is better?

you say is better,
Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy S2, or
Galaxy Note??
Is this even a contest? Galaxy Note is the best in my opinion. Also, you are asking on the Note forum. Would you expect any other answer other than the Note here?

i am asking on the Note forum because i know most of the users here would have owned or at least have had their hands on all the three devices here because Note is the most premium device out of these three. so i guess that makes sense. doesn't it?

come on man .... :\
lets say
NOTE then Nexus and at last S2
i have the note it lacks in the point of comfortable usage because not even bigfoot can use it onehanded XD but lets say compare this list:
Note Nexus S2
1.4 DC 1.2 DC 1 ? No Match
8MP 5MP 8MP
16GB 16GB 16GB
GB 2.3.X ICS 4.X GB 2.3.X
5.3" 4.65" 4.5"
2500mh 1500mh Forgot actually
till now i would say note beats lacking of ICS but hey a few months and it upgraded to it officialy so who cares for more density at the cost of screen size honestly i cant look at smaller screens iam addicted hehe
Moved To Q&A​
Please post all questions in the Q&A section​
Note of course!
The main reason for me is the screen!!
Obviously Galaxy Note is better just for its large screen and powerful Exynos 4210 CPU.

Valid question. Most users on here have used either one or both of the other phones listed. subjectively, I would say s2 is smoother, but for overall functonality, the note is best. Objectively - there has been lots more interest and 'i wish i had.../that's some screen/that's wkd!' comments from other phone users when I am using my note than when using my s2

Completely agree. Add iPhone 4S and go over to the IphoneBlog or whatever they call it, and you'll see the exact OPPOSITE results than here. It's very subjective. You should have published it in the general section of XDA.
I've used all phones and the note is far best for me there's no competition at all. Don't know why you would post this here should of been posted at the main of xda general section

[Q] Galaxy S DUOS Rom port??

Hey guys,
some time ago I saw that there is atm a new phone pretty comparable to our still beloved galaxy s, it was the galaxy S DUOS, pretty the same stuff but without vibrant samoled-screen, but with two sim-card slots.
But the big thing is, the phone runs natively on android 4.0, what is pretty awesome.
And since I got my s3, I would like to see the new touch-wiz ui on my awesome galaxy s1, cause the interface is easy, silk and nice as it is^^
So if the hardware is similar (at least I hope so) we could get new sources for the phone and at the same time a new interface, since I dont really like the ICS app drawer anymore (since s3 )
Or if not the rom, then at least some of the main apps like the music player and some other tw stuff would be awesome.
cheers guys
+1 hardware is almost the same......

Sry guys, last time I watched out for the specs there wasnt anything with qualcomm and adreno crap :/ Seems like some sources I have found were wrong. Well, in this case, we're screwed^^ What else can I say? There isnt any other device using the exynos 3 SoC and having the latest TW. Hopefully someone will compile a new version out of the galaxy s2 sources and port it to the s1, just because of the same resolution.
cheers guys.

[Q] Would Official CM for S3 Mini benefit us?

While browsing through the device list at the Cyanogenmod download page I found a place holder for the Galaxy S3 Mini. Might be that sooner or later there'll be an Official CM release for it. Do you guys think it would boost our development as well due to the same chipset?
Simply search for Samsung devices and scroll down. http://beta.get.cm/search
Not exactly we have the same with s3 mini but yeah it can. Even now, the devs from various device with similar chipset (including ours) are helping each other out in sorting out the remaining bugs in cm. So the development for these devices are the same. :good:

It isn't possible. They are too busy and they aren't interested in building for this device. It's old and owned by a few people. And this means NO MONEY so they won't help us

Mine, definitely will be a XPERIA (either SP or ZL) because they have support of Jerpelea (FXP) and DoomLord, i've seen their threads (SP and ZL) ZL already has FXP support for CM10.1 and it's confirmed for SP, so, your decision :/
And, XPERIA seems to have a lot more build/material quality than Samsung devices :/ even if ours are easier to hack but their system security makes the user know they put more effort on the things they do.
Did someone already saw Sony Xperia's YouTube channel? They make more than one awesome commercial for each phone they sell, while ours barely has one and it's from Italy (i don't mean it's bad but more countries doesn't even care). They develop more software to better the user experience (Bravia Engine, X Loud, Clear Audio).
Blame me if you want, but i'd wish Samsung paid more attention to user experience for each phone instead focusing the reflectors just to Galaxy S series (just flagships) more people would take more seriously their phones or products...

if matt absolutely right, the problem is that this drawing samsung thousand and smartphones but does not support them, while Sony takes less smartphone but are optimized to 100%, and most interesting features ... in the end I think that after this cycle ends my samsung :/ (unless the nexus samsung come either), do not say that your smartphone is bad, but Samsung was allowed to stand and the other phone companies are taking better or talk about what he's up to now motorola: z

One correction!
Codeworkx or cdesai or any other dev for that matter do not work for money..
They work if they wish. These guys can get cm to boot on any device within 2 days. But they support many devices simultaneously. So they opt for devices with large user base.
Cdesai is a kid, he wouldn't care about money anyhow! Donations are just an appreciation for their work..

Then wait for some time and save money. Do u think I had that much money? It is almost impossible for me to put that much money for a phone specially when I have to pay lots of money for college. But I waited for about 3-4 months, my mom and I collected money and finally bought the beauty. Now, you already have that much money to put on a galaxy s3 why not to wait a little, collect money and buy N4 , I would have done this if I was in your place. Remember, you are not going to buy that much expensive phone everyday so save some money and buy a good one. Come on, there is a little difference in price of S3 and N4 even if u make a deal with your provider. There will be little difference. Now its ur wish
