I messaged him today on Twitter about the release date for 6.1 and he replied with..
"CM 6.1 feature freeze will be this Sunday, then it's all bug fixes and refinements. Get your patches in now"
What does feature freeze mean? What does he mean by getting your patches in?
He means they will not be adding any more features or apps. Just making what's there run as smooth as possible.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
There is still no release date for the Captivate in Canada. We've been getting dicked around by Roger's for quite a while now. Until then, work your magic guys! Thanks for the excellent job!
It sounds like this could be released very soon. Was there any mention as to what will be included with 6.1?
Thanks again!
I didn't ask him I didn't want to come off as a pest. I'm pretty sure it's a lot but I'll wait until he pours release notes on his site. Hopefully by the end if this month or the next.

I'm sure he gets rush requests by the boatload.
I just got the Tweet that 2.2 is officially released for the Samsung Galaxy S phones. Will this change anything for Cyanogen 6.1?
You guys should be following the nightly thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802
There are beta builds with all the 6.1 goodies. The first post contains info about what has changed, and if you read some latest comments, you will find out more cool info about what may be coming.
Are lagfixes device specific? Why wouldn't a lagfix be included with Cyanogen?
answer
When he says there is a feature freeze it means that they will stop adding new features and begin prepping for a release. And when he said get your patches in he assumed you where one of the devs but it means that Anny bug fixes you may have made while using a nightly send them in so that the releasevwill not have those bugs.
He tweeted lastnight that he hopes to have 6.1 rc1 out Tuesday
From the fade
4g must be the hardest thing ever for these guys. Impossible I guess. **** HTC is king then. They got a driver. No not for us tho. Uncle Jimmy says hello
Bet any release canidate or release wont have 4g. That really sucks. The evo is the only incomplete cyan rom out there I think:?
I know I sure as hell can't do it. Bunquetta, shameka

"Bluetooth problem"?
Does anyone have any news about Galaxy S compatibility for 6.1? Any news in general?
Guys,
I have updated my S3 to the latest update from ATT.
It now has a brightness bar in the notifications area.
Although the version of Android remains the same but this is a welcome update.:good:
Its difficult to say if anything else was updated because as usual there was no description of what the update includes.
Check out the screenshot, I have highlighted the update in red.
Please share any other changes you come across or any other information regarding the update will also be helpful
Prady..
There's a lot of people talking about the new additions in this thread that was started around 9:30am today. Please join that conversation so we don't have multiple threads about the update.
I have not gotten the OTA update notification nor is Kies showing an update. Wonder why? I have a stock S3 on AT&T.

Have you tried a reboot?
already a thread for this
I stopped by the other S4 forum (i9500/i9505) and noticed users reporting a new firmware update. Some mentioned faster transitions and camera updates as well as some other things.
Has anyone got a Ota of this? Or would we (T mobile) not get it?
Also wondering... if your rooted, would you even get a notification about it?
Thnx

The firmware of the international version is not the same as firmware released by carriers. Carriers add a lot of stuff to their firmware and they do their own testing on them. It may take months for a carrier to release an update after the international version got it.
Since this is a new phone, I am sure T-Mobile will eventually release an update (most likely several updates). Just be patient.

I found a website that has manual firmware updates for the different variations, but unfortunately I didn't save it. It's out there though, just Google it and I'm sure you'll run across it like I did, sorry couldn't be more assistance, if I find it again I'll post the link.
Edit: Okay I found it quicker than I thought I would, lol. Here's the link, hope it helps:

Thanks for the clarification and info guys.
Definitely patient.. I dont have many issues w my s4 except home key timing, so I was hoping for fix.
Maybe some one can take a look at new firmware and see if there is any info within that could benefit our (tmo) devices?
I would do it but im not as proficient and knowledgable as some of our other members.

I have the i9500 and got the update a few days ago. The description from the update manager was "improved stability" which means they are ironing out the kinks. Another thing that is going to be updated and will surely be on your variant is locked kernels. This is a kernel level that blocks superuser from even executing code. Workarounds will have to be found/kernels compiled.

if you're referring to the home button lag, then just disable s voice like everybody else did, even back in the days of the S3. go into the s voice app and hit the settings button on lower left of your phone, then tap settings, then un-check the 2nd option "open via the home key".
as far as updates, t-mo is usually the 1st or 2nd carrier to get it in the US, but nothing yet. i'm hoping they'd fix the camera shutter lag that i love from the old s3. sigh...
Hey guys,
I was really hoping to see the Android 4.3 feature for multi users as on this device since it is running 4.3 out of the box. I do not see that feature anywhere. I read an article saying it would have it, and others that are saying it will not. Does anyone know for sure if this feature will ever be added in future updates? Or is there a reason Samsung is leaving it out on these touch wiz ran devices? Thanks, really crossing my fingers here.

Newest firmware has it!
Hey guys,
Do you know if google is going to update the camera to get more features (from pixel 4) like they did last year when they released night sight.
Did anyone dig into the leaked Camera 7.0 code?
