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

Its a 2.2.1 version based on JPY firmware.NOT a 2.3.
Why does it say 2.3.1 then?
Forget 2.3

ROM I8700XXKI1
K : 2011
I : Septembre
ROM UNBRANDED WITH MANGO!
Yes, it's cool but SamFirmware will release this ROM only if there are many downloads for the ROM I8700XXKH2...
I don't see the point to this. But, alas, what can we do...
it's really stupid...

Its not about the traffic.
Its just because we see the Wave II is hotter than the Omnia 7 this is really strange.
''playing like children'' you guys should be all happy that we release for free a OFFICIAL test rom of Mango for the Omnia 7.
Its only because one of our insiders leak something you all think we should release directly!
I can tell you this insider isn't a direct contact person of us!
Yes we have the rom and Yes we will not release till we have more downloads for a new release!
For example.
Lower sales S8530 over 1000 downloads in 36 hours. (Bada 2.0)
I8700 only 600 downloads in 36 hours. (Mango)
The sales of the Omnia 7 are higher than the Wave II.
We got this August version over 4 weeks since 2 days online now!
Be happy and stop blaming like children!
I'm a member of your site and i like it but i don't understand.

Yes and what ? You don't release it because Wave is hotter. it's not an answer.
If i had the KI1 version i will release it now to all community.
Community = sharing
Be happy and start sharing!

Nope we did the same by all bada 2.0 roms.
We release when we think the time is right.
We compare the Omnia 7 and Wave II because they are on the same level.
We just release I8700XXKH2 and you guys are blaming us for everything because we are not releasing I8700XXKI1
We are not a Santa or something.
Community = sharing
Who is telling you we want specially a communty we are not like XDA.
We do what we want to do if you guys don't like we don't care.
This is how we do since many years now.
Thank God there is no big use for ROMs like this on Windows Phone like there is on Android & Bada or was on Windows Mobile. There will be an official release sooner or later anyway. Thanks to Microsoft's policy. In addition it won't wipe my personal data.
Thanks anyway
Cheers
[I8700 only 600 downloads in 36 hours. (Mango)]
The reason for less downloads could be allot of people are afraid to brick their phone.

If that is your policy I, personally, will respect it.
However, for the lack of the ROM itself I would very much like to know if XXKI1 is an Engineer or Product ROM? Could you at least give us this information?
Thanks in advance.

jap, I had i9000 and use to flash it 3 times a week, some times even more, but there was odin and everything was safe, with omnia it is dangerous operation.
another point that ppl not download KH2 is the branding!! i don't want to have a software branding on my phone so i don't load KH2
KI1 instead i would download immediately and flash it
EDIT:
But well if they want to have more downloads, i will download it So all of you guys instead of writing here download re-download etc etc
AND the only thing they want more downloads is, they get money for the downloads i guess:
http://hotfile.com/affiliate.html?lang=en
I see a lot of hatin' for samfirmware and I see the rationale, but I don't think people should be calling names.
As for samfirmware, you know what'll drive more dls and revenue for your site? how 'bout releasing k1? I'm on the same boat as everyone here that doesn't want branding. The only thing that I like from official samsung firmware is hidden wifi, which I don't think I will use that much, but nice to have. I won't be holding my breath for K1 because stock MS Mango RTM is working flawlessly even on old omnia 7 drivers. And to be fair, I did download the engineer rom, just don't like the idea of wiping all my data just for hidden wifi and setting up everything again.
So how about it samfirmware? Want more traffic? I'll trade my two imaginary bandwidth children for it or I can just wait till official release through Zune which allow people to keep their data. I won't be holding my breath for K1.
There is possibility to update to KH2 via the imageupdate that was in the archive, but it doesn't work on all ROMs, just some - it depends on the CSC you used while flashing your current ROM I think.
I didn't manage to get rid of the one branded package in the update - I have both pksbuild tool and signtool, but I don't have any usable certificate to re-sign the new pks with . (And uploading just directly the .cab.pkg didn't work for me.)
(And you can flash back the original ROM or just bootloader with the patched flashing app.)

I did this and this worked for me , but you need a t-mobile de rom to do this trick.
(yes I know ondra that you know this but all others didn't )
Stop boring and blaming.Remener,we use the roms for free.We should say thanks instead of blame.Do not act as a child in forum.
good job thx

Hi,kind regard to you.i'm a omnia 7 user from china,and there many users in our china.
it's a good news that you shared the I8700XXKH2 rom but you don't know most of us from china can't access to the website hotfile.com(because the suck GFW.china goverment block many website such us Twitter/Facebook and many Network disk).
so we can't dirctly download the firmware from the link you shared,we download it from the mirror like u.115.com,a chinese network driver.Base on this reason,i think the number of your firmware been download is not the real numerical value.And we really hope you share the new rom agian and quickly.
sorry for my poor english,i wish you can understand what i said.

SF,
I've used one of your ROM's before, to remove branding from my T-Mobile branded Omnia, and I'm very happy and gratefull.
However, I'm guessing most of us Omnia owners are not flashing/upgrading because we all are waiting for the unbranded mango ROM, not yet another NoDo or branded Mango.
Anyway, thanks for your hard work, and keep it up.
We will bring I8700XXKI1 but we don't give any details when.
Mango roms takes time!
Because many people are to dangarous we will make a online flashguide!
Firmware version I8700XXKI1 will be ponline together with some others. (Not WP)
We just want to see how HOT mango roms are.
Other thing when you guys using other download links this will blockade newer roms faster.
Why do you think we release a lot of bada 2.0 roms.
So stay tuned!

4.1.2 update with minor fixes as posted .
probably ME3..
No samsung dont supply a changelog
jj
On T-mobile (EE).
It seems to include the BBC iPlayer Radio fix discussed on the BBC-iPlayer-Radio-app-on-Android-devices blog:
While we wanted to launch the app to all Android users as soon as possible there is currently an issue with some Samsung firmware. This means that some owners of the popular and powerful Galaxy S3 device may not be able to stream our new HLS audio in the short term.
This applies specifically to some Galaxy S3 devices on EE, Vodafone and Three and we expect these networks to roll out a fix in the next month.

After a quick check it seems that iPlayer Radio is now working, whereas it wasn't previously, for me.

Hello Everybody
Today And Last Days I'm So Sadly !
About a lot of Things , and My Sadly is Your Sadly too.
When Huawei Released Huawei P8 (GRA-xxxx) Other Factories were Released Other Flaghships !
For Example Meizu MX4 Pro ! (GPU is Same as Huawei P8 can Check Every Agreed Websites : ALT_ : https://www.gsmarena.com/meizu_mx4_pro-6815.php)
After a Long time ! MX4 Pro Was Got Android 7.0 Based on FlyMe OS 6.0 !
it's Jokes to Huawei Release Any Upper Version of EMUI (For Example EMUI 8.0)
Now I'm So Sad !
But now , If you want any New Rom any New Support , You should be a MIUI Member and Leave EMUI Alone !
EMUI Never Support US To Last Day Of The World.
Try Visit This URL >»»»( http://en.miui.com/thread-904672-1-1.html ) «««<, Sign to MIUI and Comment To this Thread for This Request (MIUI For Huawei P8)
We sign 2,500 signs at Change.Org , And Now Should show US again.
Do it Now if wanna New Updates or New Custom Roms (Better Than EMUI) Leave EMUI Now.
Thanks for Reading , Happy me with Doing !

Hello @NAViDArt
I think it's a pretty good idea to port MIUI to Huawei p8. It should be possible.
There's already a port for P7 and P9.
I think Miui 8 should be good.
So I think this can be done
We can stay connected, I will add you on Telegram.
My only thing is, that I can start this work with begin on January.
Until the end of the year 2017 I have a lot of things to do.
First my regular job and I planed to make two new Roms similar than MagicArrow for P8 and P9 before Christmas.
But next year I can help you to do porting MIUI.

I paid 1200 US $ ( in my country) and I still have to wait for Oreo ! S8 user Got Oreo last month but note 8 users not? I paid much more money than S8 users, So I Expect to get Oreo Before S8 Users
Mod edit for language @TheMadScientist
Oreo for note 8 just became available as a beta system. I'm running it on my note 8 right now for sprint variant. Search through this thread and you should find it. Oh and also it's only for the snapdragon variants.

Patience is a virtue! I guess you are not virtuous enough!
No, in all seriousness, I would prefer to wait and get a good, stable and worthwhile Oreo than a half baked one ... it's not as is it's going to turn the phone into a brand new one!

OP let me sum up the Samsung experience for you: great hardware , camera and unbeatable, addictive software features. Not the fastest or smoothest UI and your updates will lag 4-6 months behind Android.
Learn this and live with it.

Oh please: stop whining!
1st of all: S8-users (the most of them, NOT in BETA) DON'T have Oreo either (yet)...
For the Note8 (Snapdragon-version), a "test-version Oreo" has leaked already...
But: what do you want? An UNSTABLE test/beta-version, or a STABLE version later?
Do you have "problems" now with your Note8? You can't "CALL" and/or "APP" anymore?
Have patience...
And if you want to have all updates/upgrades "instantly", you should have bought a Pixel!

Only some Sony and Nokia device have Oreo atm and the Google phones of course. So stop whining and wait and see will get it in 4 to 6 weeks. If you can't sell your phone and buy a phone that comes with Oreo.
If you want to whinge then come over here to Australia... We have a version of android that has to be edited before release to remove icons Apple have copyrighted (don't get me started on that). That puts it out weeks to months after everywhere else gets it, and if you have a carrier phone you may not get it at all....
We can stamp our feet and scream out "We want it now" but it really doesn't matter... Be thankful you get it so damn early...

I tried it. It is half-baked, and to be honest, there are not that many differences. I switched back to nougat as it wouldn't play nice with my gear S3. I'm waiting for official. It shouldn't be too long now.
