What do you think guys? Could samsung update our Note too? Or the incomplete and horrible battery optimized "official" jelly bean was the last update?. I think the last update will be Key Lime Pie, then the Cyannogen team will keep our phone alive for some time...
Sorry my bad english!

I guess there's no way we will see that update. I really hope im wrong, but we can thank god for having jellybean, knowing samsung...

And if we are lucky to see that update from Samsung on our Galaxy Note, then it will be after the Galaxy Note 3 is out.
I'm pretty sure on that.

Or it can be the same as with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4
We all know that 4.0.3 was like "beta" but 4.0.4 solved the issue. Let's home that our new 4.0.4 will be 4.2.1

I'm actually still trying to get a full working JB update on my phone (some laggs, etc... compared to a LG Optimus L9 which I got of my contract yesterday my Note with 4.1 seems to be working on Froyo... And the LG is on ****ing 4.0 on which my Note seemed to be on 1.0 compared to that speed... Why can't Samsung just do it right like LG? Actually trying to sell the LG though^^)
But I surely hope that we will se 4.2 on our Note. 5.0 Would be pretty amazing for Samsung... If the Note 1 gets 5.0 I will wait to buy a new phone. My plans were to buy the Note 3. But if my Note gets 5.0 I see no reason why... I love 16:10, 5.3", etc... 16:9 just sucks imho...
But if we think about it, it is already amazing that the S2 and even the old S1 (Advanced) got some Beans... Maybe it is not impossible for the Note to get at least one major update like 4.2... I'm really excited to see what Google will show us on the I/O about Android 5...

Oh, No. For God's sake, Not again.

Google are supporting handset makers with 4.2.1 in a way they haven't with previous upgrades, so chances are slightly better than normal. I wonder if this has anything to do with 4.2.1 crippling most ad-blockers...

I heard galaxy note will skip 4.2.1 and jumps to 4.2.2 lol jk! even the nexus10 struggles to 4.2.2

Which is why "officially" you'll probably not see 5.0 on the Note1. Two reasons, hardware probably can't keep up, and the main reason, it
would go against their bottom line. They sell hardware, and if they keep adding features, making the original better, faster stronger, why would anyone bother to purchase a new one? Same thing for a carrier locked version. Keep it at the old level long enough, and when people come into a store complaining, push them into a new one, extend the contract, and do that over and over again.

[Q] Android 2.3

Hi,

Thanks.

Yes Samsung are going to release a successor due to how well it did.
They would be silly to leave it.
probs nothing till late Q2 I can image though
Mark Feb 14th in your diary to find out what.
Cheers for reply guys
Would you recommend still getting the device? I have been Googling the galaxy s 2 . it seeems that the specs will be much better (dual-core!!) So i probably won't be able to afford it. So would you still recommend herring the galaxy s? will it still have a good support (+1 year)
Or do you think i should just stick with my TG01 + SGT?
Is there a way to install Android 2.3 manually onto the Galaxy S without losing the functionlities? After some google'ing I found some info, but some functionalities are missing, like Wifi, GPS etc.

Hm, I'm less than convinced that the leaked Galaxy S 2 specs are real.
Get the nexus s unless you want better bluetooth and camera. Also gingerbread from source looks to be done in a month at least.

I just moved from my G1 to a galaxy s last month. Due to getting a 16gb one for £100.
With lagfix and over clocking it is the fastest phone I've used. ( I repair phones so have used a lot)
If you can get one at the right price its worth it. But if you want to wait for the next OS you will wait forever. Google seem to put updates out every other month. So there is always but this phone has version what ever.
If you like the hardware go for it. If you want Google updates get a nexus.

Back to the original question
Is there a good way to install Android to 2.3 to the current galaxy phones?
no, there is not.
I read that samsung announced a galaxy s successor recently.
I think they said they were to unveil it in WMC

Galaxy S i9000 Getting an Official 4.0.5 ICS?

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...

U really think galaxy s1 will get Android 5?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
common guys...what makes you thinking that we'll get android 5?
Samsung will forget our phone, if he doesn't yet....
there's ported sgs2 ics firmware for sgs, it's on pre alpha state but its working very good, i'm using it right now
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......

[Q] Galaxy SIII to Galaxy Note

Hi,
Samsung announced a while ago that it'll push ICS 4 +"Premium Suite" to the beloved GNote. However, after watching the Galaxy SIII announcement yesterday, I started wondering if the GNote will ever get some of the features the SIII got (i.e Popup video, Allshare cast, etc.)
Do you think some of the smart guys in the forum will be able to port them?

That would be sweet. Now that the S3 as been released, maybe samsung will integrate some of the S3 features on the ICS premium suite for our beloved GNote. But i would be happy enough with ICS all alone, i tired of all this waiting!!!
I wonder if now, after the yesterday's unboxing, the Gnote ICS update is just around the corner...
If samsung want they can easily do that considering the hardware power of note but i think they will not do that due to their marketing strategy. they want to sell more and more no of s 3.
I dont think they will push any of the SGS3 features onto the Note official with ICS rollout. Samsung would not want ruin the exclusivity of features that SGS3 has. Just like Crapple didn't release Siri for anything but the 4S, Even today they can not port it successfully n reliably on the iphone4/ipad2.
All the porting will have to be done at XDA
I have a feeling that Samsung just forgot they had a son named Note...
Damn hope I am totally wrong!

Any word on an ICS update?

Has anyone heard anything new about us officially getting ICS? It is taking forever, i know our ROM's are stable enough without it but i miss the camera
no news yet.
it was supposed to be Q2 as far as i remember but time is running out.
im seriously pissed off at samsung who are being real d*cks about updating devices to ics.
even small sh*tty devices like huawei media pad have had official ics updates and we bought the most expensive tab thinking it would entail good support but so far nothing
basically i've given up waiting. when it comes ill be happy but im not counting the days / holding my breath
Totaly agree!, I am using ROM Stock (3.2) and I gave up about Sammy ICS, I'am waiting a net model with ICS in Brazil, but I feel so sorry because I think we will have no 8.9 new models

For source that has been out since October? Take the Galaxian Soup AOSP and add the camera and touchwiz. Done.

Well Samsung is always late for updates because they always manage to release a new device where there are new android versions coming up. :S
I can understand why they wouldn't want to update, I tried the galaxy tab 2 and it's much smoother and really working very well with ICS considering is the same hardware it just doesn't make sense to update when you can buy the same thing again just for the software update.
Honestly I would even pay some dollars to Samsung if they allow me to update next month.

Well - the P7300 isn't mentioned in there at all :-(
Am I right in assuming that the SGH-i957 and the P7300 are completely different (the custom ROMs would suggest so)

Yeah, but that argument doesn't hold because most of their new devices are still released with Gingerbread. The Galaxy IIIS is actually an exception and not the rule. Go to gsmarena.com and look at all the newly released and announced Samsung phones--most on Gingerbread

Why would you say that? They don't even make an 8.9 Wi-Fi only anymore if what I'm getting on their website is correct. Unless that is you are not talking about the Wi-Fi one.
For Wi-Fi only people there is no new device.

Android 5.1. update is LIVE!! Yay! Build G925FXXU2BOFJ

T-Mobile Galaxy S5 just got the 5.1 update, build G900TUVU1FOF6.
The international set used to receive before US-sets but it seems T-Mobile is bucking the trend. Anyway, hope it is ported soon. Or we have our own official 5.1 firmware soon. :good:
Here's the link http://31.220.4.75/dl/TMB-G900TUVU1FOF6-20150622093044.zip
I wonder if we can run this on 900f with a custom kernel? What's the worst thing that would happen: soft brick? or need to flash ofw in odin?
Edit: Here's a mega mirror.
And here's a system dump with APK's and whatnot .
Can anyone post some screenshot of this release? Thanks in andvance!

No new theme engine. Typical Samsung-style move - artificially forcing previous models to look and feel old by not updating touchwiz on them.

Remember that Galaxy S2, born with Android 2.3.3, received the "Nature UX" namely TouchWiz 5.0 with same features of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3. Maybe they think that the new Touchwiz is no such new than the "older" one on S5 KitKat nay on S5 Lollipop with white UI.

Yeah, best case scenario for when we get an official s6 rom is a whole year from now.
If they're gonna copy Apple and the iphone they might as well copy their update style and keep all devices with the same os and ui...
Although the thread has started with the Idea of Port, it has become Firmware Feature discussion. That should be happening in [SM-G900/F/K/L/W8/A/T/M] S5 Firmware Thread
Any firmware should be posted in that thread if its not there already. You can choose to Work with that OP if need be. This one needs to close as its duplication.
