The Galaxy S ++R.I.P.++ ?
As you all know, Samsung has decided to abandon one of it's most popular childs by not delivering the sacred last Android version to this device.
But this is not the end of the story for this great phone, because the community lives.
There are many valiant people out there that are investing a lot of their free time to bring us the taste of fresh, homemade Ice Cream Sandwich.
Some of them are developers, some of them support development and deployment by providing the required infrastructure, others are committed to "real" testing and many people simple take their time to patiently answer questions, some of which have already been asked hundreds of times before.
And some people simply don't read what is written in the OP of ICS threads (or the previous post(s)). They complain, moan, request, demand, whine, ... to a point where even the most motivated people of the first category start asking themselves if their efforts are worth it.
And then there are thousands of people who can read, who try to find solutions, who know all the secrets of search engines and one never hears of them.
Why, because maybe they have not enough time to help or the questions they could reply to have already been answered hundred of times and certainly most of them do not post in the threads unless they have something useful to say.
This thread is for you guys and girls. If you have already hit the 'thanks' button and if you already donated what you can afford and you still feel like communicating your gratitude without spamming or flooding the development threads, then this is the place to do so.
Any moaning, flaming, blaming, whining and other stupid comments will be reported immediately.
Thanks a lot for your cooperation.
Edit: rephrased the passage above, because there were some misunderstandings...
So I would like to say thank you to all the people I mentioned above.
Even though I am using Onecosmics wonderful ICS RC1 release, I do not forget people from other teams that are investing their free time in the development of ICS on the Galaxy S and related devices.
There is a lot of "parallel evolution" or "cross-species evolution" as biologists say, this means that the teams or individuals are taking inspiration from the solutions found by other teams and integrete the results of it into their own work.
I also want to say thank you to all the people involved in supporting the projects. I am unable to name all of them so if you helped supporting and deploying the releases, this Thanks is for you.

No need for any spam or flood, just go to the respective thread and hit the thanks button. More, do a donation to the developers. That's what I call a THANK YOU.
What are you on about?
What happened to this?

ics 4.0.3
onecosmic rom 4.0.3 rc2.1.1 is supercool
daily use rom
This is 'old' news.
It seems that Samsung will bring some kind of 'value pack update'. Something like an ICS theme on GB
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_to_get_a_value_pack_update_instead_of_ics-news-3583.php
Some more recent news say that Samsung wont even grant us this.
http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/0...-deliver-value-pack-for-galaxy-s-smartphones/
Anyway, if one day Samsung will change its mind, then it will partially be due to the fluid ICS roms out there for SGS....

Agreed with donations and the thanks button.
Yet, some may feel that's insufficient and the need to just get a more personal thank you may come across. One specific thread helps with this and can't see harm in it.
I can see where this comes from so:
Thank you developers

Well said !
This aint no substitute to 'Thanks button', buying a beer or donation, it is complementary.
If you dont't like this idea, then stay away.
Sent from my I9000 using XDA App
I didn't say I didn't agree with the idea. My "no need for any spam or flood" was agreeing with the original post that you shouldn't spam the development threads with verbose thanks but instead just hit the thanks button and do a donation if you appreciate their work. Is my english that bad?
I love ics. Thanks to teamhacksung onecosmic and all the others. Before ics I was using customs samsung rooms and now I miss stock samsung camera. Hope Samsung will release one for aosp ics

+1 ICS is running very well now on beta12
Of course it's not kind from Samsung not to release ICS für the Galaxy S. No problem - next time i'll buy a phone from another manufacturer. The are a lot of.
Many thanks to the community, which brought us great things like the Lagfix, the possibility NOT to install TouchWiz and many other things i just don't remember.
Thanks.
I love ICS, I'm currently using S.U.R.F.A.C.E's version. I would like to thank all developers - teamhacksung onecosmic and all the others. I miss the old camera app and radio but I hope the open source community comes up with a solution soon.
Galaxy S is capable for ICS
Guys and Girls,
The first Galaxy S is working great on ICS. My self using Teamhacksung Build 12 now, started with build 10 and have just a few minor problems, but these problems are caused by the installed apps that cannot work fully on ICS yet. Hope that they will be upgraded soon.
Samsung isn't even giving the value pack.

You should consider that Samsung updated the phone for a long time, and gave it two major updates. I don't think there are many other companies who update longer than that. In fact, the only android devices that get really all the updates until they can't handle it anymore are the Google phones. And then you should ask yourself: do you really care SO much about getting updates all the time? If that is so, you are forced to buy a Google nexus.
Yes, it's sad that Samsung are not the angels that we thought they were. But anyone ranting that they'll never buy a Samsung phone again should get real. Really no offense, but Samsung is a company. And a company lives not only from happy customers. It lives from happy customers that buy their new products, and so they have to add exclusive features. And 2 years of updating is fair enough for me.

Dear El Aidge,
I hope you felt better after writing the above post.
I must congratulate you on your realistic assessment of Samsung as a company. I do agree entirely with you.
But next time you post in this thread, may I kindly ask you to stay on topic? This tread is not about bashing nasty Samsung or whining.
My intention was to offer the Galaxy S ICS users a place where they can say thanks to the community without flooding dev threads and without being annoyed by people that feel the need to play teacher...
Have a nice day and enjoy your Galaxy on ICS.
I want to say thanks you at all the people who participe at the ics developpement , thanks you to do that, and thanks you to share with us.
So SGS+ won the ICS -poll on facebook. And DroidXDA promised to port ICS for our device. I am so glad there's finally some progress. I'll post the news here so don't be afraid to subscribe this thread
And remember to support the team by clicking the "ads by nuffnang" on their website: DroidXDA Blogspot

Its not on the blog... its on their Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/DroidXDA)
Really looking forward to the port...
IMO no need to open 100 threads about the same subject, and definitely not with such promising/euphoric titles. zack is still working on it and either he or FaqihCici will surely open a dev thread as soon an initial version release is available.

gonna build a kernel to test ICS for myself to see how it handles what is different beside CPU?

So let me put this straight. We don't even have a dedicated subforum and now you are denying us even a single topic (which will be lost anyway) ?

Looking forward on this. Hopefully it will be stable.
Any news ?
I dont think here will come anything useable...
Still, if it would work would be best
I feel like they just want to generate clicks on their ads.
Everyday I am reading preannouncemen. Mh, I clicked so often on those ads really thought they would try to make something happen.
value pack released
There is nothing much exciting. Samsung released a value pack for i9001. Installation instruction can be found in this very own forum.
Same crapWiz UI and additional face detection added.
Hey guys,
You might be knowing TeamCooper or might not. For those who don't here is our small intro.
We are a group of enthusiastic devs working for the betterment of the Android world. We are from the Samsung Galaxy Ace forums. We have some awesome devs like jusada, nims11, slaid480. Till now we worked for the ace but now would like to support other devices as well.
As you know we don't have the hardware for this. So instead of doing it ourself we would like to recruit the devs from this forum in our group. Anyone with Android knowledge is welcome (devs, themers, modders, etc). To join us please link your work in this thread.
Our work is posted in the ace forums. And we are the group that ported MIUI to the mid-range devices.

Guys if you want get some local recognition, you must also focus on I9100G. The model is selling pretty well in India, Europe, China and many more countries. And unfortunately there are very few developers working on the handset. The list of people waiting for ports etc. is increasing. All the luck to your group

You still have an oppurtunity to focus on i9100G since there aren't many devs and that's where you could target and get your attention.

Even if my English s**k bad.. I would like to let you guys think about this:
The situation
The AOKP team will officially support devices owned by the official developer team.
At the moment no TeamKang member has a SGS2.
On the Galaxy S II Android Development forum we can count at least 13 AOKP ROMS for our Galaxy S2.
Most of those ROMS are compiled using a mix of AOKP and CM9 repositories (with some manual patching).
There're 10 people that did the "SAME JOB"
The idea
Create a semi-official "team" to maintain a GalaxyS2 AOKP device tree on github.
This repo will be used as a base for all the personalized ROMs
Each developer/kanger will be able to focus more on his/her respective modifications
I hope most of the AOKP-SGS2 kangers/developers will read this thread and start to join my "XDA Social Group" where we could start to talk and organize stuff
I already invited most of the AOKP thread-owners to the closed AOKP-SGS2 group. If you guys prefer we can talk here or even on irc/freenode.
(fell free to PM me with grammar/sintax bug fixes to this )
great idea
Sounds good. I would love an original AOKP Rom on the SGS 2.
Freenode IRC: channel #aokp-sgs2
pier bajee11 and rodries joining channel on a regular basis
"AOKP SGS2 DEVS" come meet us! :victory:
Sounds great and fair
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thats really great .!!!
Hope that this idea will come to life
a great idea
i hope other AOKP developers co-operate
Go team s2Kang ! You can do it!
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes please! Go for it! Pier you're the man! :laugh:
I hope a team is made for official AOKP.
But unfortunately ( MY OPINION ONLY ) some devs makes everything only for donations and if they join the group they will be forced to do it for glory or minimum shared funds only. I really hopes that every single one of them to join that group and make something special for SGS2 owners. I MOST IMPORTANTLY i HOPE that i am WRONG about this.
Good luck and hope to create one really strong group and why not even bigger than TeamKang. Great idea Pier

Maybe you can think about that like a small thing but..
Bajee11 and Pier, released a ROM together:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850942
- Common GITHUB repository
- Common gerrit where we (and YOU TOO!) can submit commits
- Common IRC channel (AOKP-SGS2/freenode).
I think this is going to be a good step ahead in the right direction. And of course: we're still waiting for other devs/kangers/fans/users/whatever to join us in this

AOKP will soon have an official i9100 maintainer.
I dont care if this will be Bajee11, me, or others
The most impotant aspect is that we'll have support from the official crew
Our "efforts" with this AOKP-i9100 is to show to the AOKP crew that we (i9100 users) can have some sort of organization and nice team-work.
And well... the 'new' maintainer will have some stuff done for sure
Is ROMControl in other languages fixed?
I used Polish language with M6 and remember that NavBar setting FC ROMControl, Notification toggles were translated wrong (ex. Swag was Data, 2G was Wifi etc.)
Someone asked for a petition for the release of the Exynos 4 sources so I created one for you to sign.
And so you don't have to say it, the petition is useless sense Samsung won't release a thing exept GB leftovers.
Now sign and hold your breath!

Seriously? Not Gonna happen!!
Oh we tried that already. Even the media ****storm that the SIII Petition Thread and the SII Thread (and others) created wouldn`t help. They did release useless junk and a new petition won`t help in my opinion. Check out this thread for more details on how Samsung screwed us yet again:
