not talking about the gb release, more so of an ACS release

dbpaddler · May 18, 2011

well even a zip aligned/deodexed version is quite welcome. Stock GB seems pretty nice so far. A bit cleaner looking than froyo as well as snappier. Though I did manage a reset while doing the auto update of four apps and zipping around email and the web. Unresponsiveness, a bunch of vibrates and then sprint screen. Kinda chuckled.

So are you saying that ACS isn't putting out any custom ROM's based off GB? If so, that effin' sucks because I love my Syndicate Frozen ROM.

Shabbypenguin · May 18, 2011

dont worry there will be gb roms, and more then likley there will be roms that have almost the same feature/tweaks that srf has

That will make me happy then, I can look forward to that

I have been thinking about trying out the gingerbread ROM, but decided to hold off until the official release, and a gb ROM gets released, because what I have is working perfectly for now.

any idea whether gingerbread will address the problems w/ the SD card? i just got this phone and am finding it to be very annoying that i have to always unmount and remount the SD card...

What do you mean, mount and unmount? When you plug it into the computer you mean? I'm not sure I follow...

Stock, probably not. After a custom GB ROM? I would be hightly disappointed if it wasn't.

Wow.. June 2nd.. And nobody has had any updates on this??? last post was may 22nd..

dbpaddler · Jun 2, 2011

Well god forbid the Epic get GB before the Evo, and with the Evo update set for the 8th, I'm sure we'll hear more after that.

evo officially receiving GB update ota today. Hopefully we are next in line seeing as how the epic is sprints 2nd flagship phone

dbpaddler · Jun 3, 2011

I thought the official date was the 6th? I was actually off by 2 days.

But it looks like it already hit the servers and is pushing out to some. Go figure.

BubZX · Jun 3, 2011

should have figured the EVO would get it first

dksnet · Jun 4, 2011

wait for.......wait for it..........wait for iiiiittttttttt blah :eek:

badankles · Jun 5, 2011

it would have been a big slap in the face if epic got GB before the evo. htc would not have let that happened. oh well. still, it looks like epic will get GB soon enough, not 6 months later.

How can htc or Samsung affect when the other releases their update?

Don't say sprint is doing it.... There are other galaxy s phones on other carriers.

I don't know.. So I ask...
Has any galaxy s phones been updated to 2.3?

IIRC, some international GS phones have.

Since we are in usa (epic on sprint)...
I was asking about usa versions.

So.. The answer is.. None.
My take on this... Samsung could have released it in usa before htc.... But they are sticking to their normal MO

Correct, no US versions have received the official GB release.

Having dabbled with the GB leaks, there is no doubt that it's on it's way though and coming along nicely. Personally, if I wanted the latest and greatest updates and wanted them timely, I'd go with a Nexus.

HTC, IMO, is no better than any of the others and looking through the track record of ANY manufacturer you can find the same issue of slow releases.

And now to keep this topic from going toooo far off track, I thought I read something on XDA that said the rumor was somewhere between the 15th and 20th of this month. Time will tell!

badankles · Jun 5, 2011

I'm just shooting the breeze. I have no idea what sprint, htc or samsung are thinking regarding GB releases. Too much corporate politics to speculate.

Evo came out in June'10 and sported froyo soon after. Epic end of Aug'10 with froyo 6 months or so later. Just thinking that HTC would work hard to not let samsung beat them to the punch (on sprint).

If Epic gets GB end of this month, then it's not the same MO...we'll see.
