with a good idea of how jelly bean is going to look, i actually downloaded the wall papers from the market... they look GREAT on this phone. a jelly bean theme might actually really give the ui a clean look. just a thought. =) hope someones listening.

I thought the UI looks the same as ICS? Besides the new features..It's only Android 4.1
theres some differences. but realistically, we will get CM9 very soon... and im sure cm9.1 is on its way too.... soo its just a matter of time... for now i guess we can settle for wall paper

Don't hold your breath on cm9.1 that's going to be a while before they decide on that. Look how long it took them to do cm7.2.
I'm willing to bet, around winter we might hear rumors of JB cm, but this is only off what I've seen with cyanogenmod. Oh an don't expect carrier updates till this time next year.
the statusbar has been revamped as well as different animations. otherwise it's got pretty much the same UI colors, etc.
Its just 4.1 Looks the same just added small stuff thats it... i seen it already on my friend GNex
The biggest change on Jelly Bean though is Project Butter.

Great news! We can only hope our neglected E4GT gets some ICS love soon too.
EDIT: Apparently it's been said this is just an ICS launcher...
Still some pretty cool mods though hey! I wouldn't mind the fast switch program he had. Its the same one I got on my galaxy tab 10.1 ICS will get here eventually amd when it does I hope it changes the android expereince with lots of eye candy and fun features. Hope it really takes advantage of our 1gig ram and fast internal storage and is coded specificly for duel core cpu's. How sweet would thay be !
Our phone is neglected? It's been out for a month. Hardly time to consider it neglected.

I think they are talking in general the SGS2 has been out for a few months now it's just new for the US market.
there is a ICS launcher that looks just like that and the status bar is wrong i think its the launcher with a themed bar
I could not careless about the ICS Sprint would push to us. I want the ICS that the devs bring us.

No, I mean our phone!
Figgen AT&T version already has Cyanogen mod!
I can only hope that ICS performs as well as the video shows.
Definitely a cool mod though!
When ICS does come out, will this end up for sure on our E4GT?

Just enjoy your phone. With the heavily customized interface, don't expect ics until summer 2012. It is what you signed up for.

Google WANTS Ice Cream Sandwich
It was my understanding that Google wants as many devices as possible to be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich as soon as possible to push developers in to moving their current applications to this platform and that Google basically wants previous versions including Honey Comb to go the way of the Dodo or the Dinosaur. So this could mean that we would see an upgrade fairly quickly for our devices so as to reduce fragmentation.

You are setting yourself up for disappointment. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. ICS updates will start going out in middle 2012.

Yes, sadly the CDMA and WiMax radios add a few hurdles.
Someone posted this on engadget as an idication that the epic touch 4g would get ICS. Frankly I'm not sure how they determined that from the link.

All that tells us it they're working on an update (which we already knew, since they have known bugs they're trying to resolve), and it's full of placeholder text. The only version is mentions is 2.3.3, and we're on 2.3.4. So clearly not an indication of any actually useful information.

Thanks - I couldn't figure out why they thought that link had anything to do with ICS.
Of course if they really wanted a shock and awe campaign tomorrow, just imagine if the top 10 Android devices all got an update to ICS tomorrow
I would rather have to wait a bit for good ROMs than have everything the first week so we don't have to listen to the "Where's the Jelly Bean update " talk. My phone is perfect and will only get better. Its not like every CM7 nightly is perfect. It takes a lot of nightlies to get a stable release. I have been flashing all of the Nexus releases....last nights was great though...patience people

1) that is ics
2) ive kinda given up on booting ics sense on this phone as its closest cousin the inc s has a port but its way too broken to use as a daily (if more improvements are made ill get back at it)
3) we will eventually get ics sense, id imagine through a RUU leak way once it hits vzw testing servers
Do we even have a kernal to port against? I've played around with the DIS Rom, but I haven't gotten anything to boot on it.
Hope vzw leaks that ruu soon or someone builds a kernel to support porting...

I got my Dinc2 the first week of July, and it updated OTA to 2.3 just shortly after I powered it up for the first time.
That's around when I got mine too I'm trying to.see when the phone was released and when we got GB

i tried hacking up the cm9 ramdisk against changes that nik made to the inc s one to boot ics sense on that particular phone...but to no avail
frankly given the state of all ported ics sense roms on wvga phones, its not worth the time and effort really imo
the *only* ported one running on a .35 kernel that seems to be running well is the pyro series on the mt4g slide....but honestly its about as different a phone from ours as possible being htc (porting bullet was headache inducing)
unless one of our kernel guys really takes a run at making it work, i dont think ill personally put it any more effort just to get a semi functional rom going that can't be used on a regular basis
Sense 3.6 is really nothing special. They just made some slight improvements over 3.5 on ICS. Like fixing the browser text buttons at the top, simple things like that. Now Sense 4.0, that's where it's at. Played with it for a few minutes on my phone, and man is it nicer. Even just down to the skins, they theme way more of the system than ever before, even the keyboard finally. And the keyboard is a darker color now too, like the notification pulldown, plus the trace feature works 1000x better, and you can use it in any text field you want.

Then again, our MSM7x30 line is still considered main-line supported hardware, and it would be easier for them to just base it all of them on same Android version, since ICS is such a big difference from Gingerbread, and it ALL has to be re-written from the ground up.
Just gotta hope.
I'm really excited either way. Especially because the official updated drivers will make running ICS a possibility for me again.

id imagine dhd/desire s/inc s/inspire 4g and us will all see the same sense version since it ll be the first ics for each...after that? wouldnt shock me if those guys got 4.0 later on (assuming they launch 3.6) and we stayed at 4.0....:cough: sense 3 screwjob :cough:

I'd hope so too, but it seems as if the manufacturers aren't really interested in making wvga anymore, only qhd, and 720p now. Isn't the incredible s getting an official update first? I honestly don't think HTC is even going to have Sense 3.6 pushed to any device, it's just a little polish over 3.5, which is exactly the same as gingerbread Sense 3.5 and Sense 4.0 will be their main goal, because it's much more refined, and takes full advantage of what ics can do. In my opinion, It's the best version of sense to date.
I can post pictures of any particular part of 4.0 if you guys want me to

I'm about to come back to the E4GT from the Galaxy Nexus. If it helps anyone that is trying to pick between these two... the reason why I'm going back is because overall performance was better on the E4GT, and the battery life SUCKS on the Galaxy Nexus. Even with the screen brightness most of the way down, I'm lucky to get more than 8 hours with the same amount of use. Oh, and the camera on the E4GT is a lot better.
Anyway... I'm looking forward to the E4GT getting the ICS update because I am going to want to install Apex Launcher to get the vanilla ICS feel, but with the better performance of the E4GT... any ideas when the update is going to happen?
I saw this: http://www.droiddog.com/android-blo...-ii-epic-4g-touch-ics-just-around-the-corner/
Yes, I realize that I could root it and flash a ROM, but I can't even begin to describe how sick I am of ROM flashing. I have been a flashaholic since the Nexus One (the phones I've had are in my signature) and I'm just tired of it.
Anyway... any information is much appreciated.

Made me laugh out loud at work. Thanks
Quite a few threads asking the same question and honestly if you been around here and I am sure you have its all speculation. I guess just sit back and enjoy the leaks which actually are running pretty damn good from what I see. Official or leaks they are probably both going to have some issues... I hope they hurry up and put out the official ICS kernel source so we can get some custom kernels going...
Congrats on coming back to the GS2. I actually had intentions of buying the GNEX this week, but when I went to the store, I just liked the look and feel of this phone so much more.
As far as the update, there are seriously close to 10 Customer ICS ROM's that work really well. I'd just go that route. I've only tested Blue Kuban and CM9, but both work really well.
So I got my LGOG about a week ago, what do you guys think, is it worth it to root it yet? Or should I wait for some AOSP Roms and the Root/Recovery process to stabilize?
I rooted the day it came out. Unlocked as soon as it became available. Lovin it ever since. I've had no issues whatsoever. TWRP works great. As far as stabilized, I think its as good as it'll get for a while. The Dev's will need some time to work on this new phone.
From a different perspective, I'm waiting to see the official Jelly Bean update from LG, as this will likely break the current root process. I just really like the stock ROM. There are some improvements I'd love to see someone make, of course, like changing the color scheme and other UI tweaks. But, for the most part, I'm happy with stock while I wait for Jelly Bean.

Call me really cautious I've held off getting the LGOG watching for Jelly Bean or an AOSP rom. IF HOWEVER I had scored one of those black Friday bargain prices on the phone I'd have jumped on it, rooted and unlocked it straight away knowing this works with the current phone software version. You can always go back to stock if LG Jelly Bean becomes available before the community comes up with something you like. My two cents.

Once I get the OG and the Jelly Bean update rolls out I just plan to root once one's available. I'l wait a few months before installing a ROM, by that time the major bugs should be worked out. I can't wait to see AOSP and CM on it!
I'm sure I'm not the first to see this but when you click the Android Version in About Phone a bunch of times real fast it brings up a simple jelly bean and version...
Long press screen and it brings up a stupid yet cute little game, thing. You bat the jelly beans around
Just an FYI or maybe this is really old news, sorry!

First time Android?
Yes, this has been around since about a year ago, when Jelly Bean 4.1 came out.
Also, same thing with Ice Cream 4.0. Except it was... ice creams, not jelly beans.
sadly no. I just never dug around much. Can I just delete this thread?
Great! Does that mean in the next version we can throw key lime pies into virtual faces, or at least bat em around?
Yeah I used to play around with this on my G-1 with Gingerbread, it probably had been there before even then. Pretty much just an Easter Egg from Google. Still entertaining though.
