ICS on SGSII Epic 4G Touch

[Netcat]

Since Sprint only promised to roll out ICS for the E4GT in 2012, I think it will be in the second half of the year. I wouldn't expect anything until at least July, maybe December!

I tried calling technical support to find out about ICS and Sprint Galaxy touch. They had no idea what i was talking about and told me to contact Samsung. I called samsung and they also didnt have any information about it and told me to contact google. Talk about a run around

i read today that Samsung realeased ics 4.0 for the Gallaxy Nexus last week. but there was no mention of ics 4.0 for the Galaxy 2 phones. has anyone seen anything else. ics 4.0 just seems to be getting delayed and from what i have seen it only seems to be either installed on select new phones. even on the Tablets it seems to be delayed. is there a problem????

It is usually delayed on all the phones because the OEMs have to take time to screw it up with their skins. Seriously... ICS was on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 6 months ago!

I wil bet anything they wait until after the new phones are out so people will be tempted to upgrade to get ics. We wont be seeing ics for some time now.

I have no idea when they will feel like releasing it. It already runs pretty good from the leaked builds.

Spoiler

Runs even better with stock ICS and no TouchWiz though. I've had ICS for a couple months on my GSII

Not to mention Samsung managed to make it look like crap. Pure ICS looks awesome, Touchwiz just makes it look the same as Gingerbread... way outdated!

When I had my Epic Touch I was praying for the day that I would receive the ICS update. I've recently purchased a galaxy nexus and I can say that although ICS is nice I still kinda miss my non ICS Epic Touch.

Is anyone using the FE07 with a wireless tether app?

The tether app I have is loading but with errors and I can't get any device to see the SSID. Just curious if anyone is successfully sharing their WiFi.

Please disregard... I found one at android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting

AS350Pilot does that app also allow 4g wifi tether?

Also folks FE10 is out and running nice and smooth

To be honest I am not sure as I am in an area where 4g is not available.

And do you have a link to FE10?

Is there a step by step root for dummies posted somewhere? I think im going to finally break down and let my epic touch be the first phone I root.

Look up qbking77 on YouTube. I follow his steps and rooted my phone in no time. He also provides links to the files you need to download as well. Very informative.

This one works great except I lost compatibility with MLB At Bat 12 (full version). Just an fyi. Hope there's a fix soon!

Im running a slightly different tweaked version but you can explore xda for the other stuff and decide for yourself.

I just flashed mine successfully, however my Swype keyboard isn't working. Do I need to reinstall another version???

Well not to add to much to all the confusing information on the release of ICS but I was speaking to some a Samsung Reps at an event this weekend and they stated that ICS is currently scheduled for release at the end of the 2nd Qtr 2012 on all carriers in US. Epic 4G Touch, Note and GSIIs were the models mentioned. Not sure this qualifies as an "official" press release but they were very adamant about the info.

I never had an issue but i rarely use swype, swiftkeyx is my favorite. Try removing then download again
