If our developers can why can't samsung?
Hello XDA Users,
I'm just wondering if our developers can build a rom which updates our devices to Ice Cream sandwich (Android 4.0) why can't samsung because of our limited hardware specifications? But how can our developers do it then...?
I was told our developers are waiting for two files from Broadcom for ice cream sandwich?
Answer the following questions:
1. Can Samsung update the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i to Ice Cream Sandwich or are they being lazy?
2. When will developers release Ice Cream Sandwich on our Galaxy ace GT-S5830i?

No, because the ICS have to be bugfree if everybody is using it, and it has to be full Touchwiz UI. The ICS from the developers can't be bugfree so it can't be public for all users.

there is no ics rom for our device...
all we have is ics themed/styled custom rom..
i remember someone mentioning that ics requires armv7 cpu and more ram and rom..
that is why samsung is not releasing ics for acei..

If Samsung wanted to release ics or jb for this phone they could have, but this phone wouldn't even be able to take it.
Anyone, XBOX360 With me?

It could handle it, but how good is debatable. Look at the reg ace. It has quite a few ics and jb roms which it runs quite well at least in my opinion when I used them. Acei has an extra 32mhz compared to reg ace. Also it is said a better gpu,if its true potential could be cracked. Just waiting on Broadcom, if they do release the drivers we could see just how good our little,acei could handle it.

So that's why regular ace gt-s5830 has ics custom roms and can run them much better then you think. But i'm not here to argue. I've seen it dude, used it, felt it....

Theyre cm, pac, and aokp based. Just talented devs here at xda made them. I dont mean to sound cocky. Theyre quite amazing though.

The devs optimized ICS and JB to use not too much RAM and internal space. And it isn't bugfree, is it? Samsung have to release a smooth, bugfree and full ICS/JB with Touchwiz UI. So, it would take more RAM than our device and more internal space.

Your correct, its not from sammy themselves. But it does work good and is only getting better. Still wish i had that device to test them again.

I prefer to have an ICS/JB Styled Rom with a lot of internal space and RAM, than an official ICS/JB ROM with 10 mbs of internal space.

Samsung announces devices to get Android Ice Cream Sandwich
http://news.in.msn.com/technology/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5564559
Ace is not there but s and s2 will get it next year.
Well CM9 is our only hope then
EDIT: 1. This is old
2. S is not in the list, its just a guess by people, official only include Note, S2, and the three tabs
Eh. Nexus one will not get Google's update. Nexus one uses adreno 200. Ace uses the same, and Ace is SAMSUNG. So we'll most probably not be getting it.
There are some devices missing from the list, however, it does not mean that they will not get *this latest OS upgrade

Official(if it even comes) will be touchwizzed, will contain lots of bloatware, and will probably be not much like the AOSP one, so why not hope for CM9?

CM will defo be built for the SGS3 im sure but it will take a few months to get it right.
CM7 will not be on the SGS3 as its Gingerbread based, CM9 will be the likely candidate Dont hold your breath though

CM9 is WIP for I9300 atm

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest i will stay with TW as i like the direction Samsung have taken it
I was running CM9 on my S2 and wouldn't touch a TW rom on the S2, that said i think i would feel disadvantaged running CM9 on S3
Has anyone heard anything on CM9 for the S3 yet??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
No. CM7 will not be ported unless you want to port it which makes absolutely no sense at all. The Galaxy S3 is ICS natively and to go back to 2.3 is just silly.

SpeedJ.. Yep, xplodwild teased a screenshot a little while back. Its running on the GS3 but probably buggy as hell. When its stable and ready for release we'll see it. But it IS in the workx

As much as I love the superiority of the hardware of this device , I am not a big fan of its aesthetics software wise and loves the ICS look on my old Galaxy nexus .
Oh imagine if Samsung release a nexus version of this phone.. How sad wouldn't you be

Agree about the hardware. I can live with some bloat thou.. I don't mind touchwiz either... It's mostly theming etc, but cm9 isn't that far of either..

Maybe one of the ROMs is ICS themed.. haven't checked myself, been enjoying stock rooted. But I too loved the new look if ICS and that nice blue, and icecream like contacts
*edit* looks like Omega ROM has an ICS theme available. Maybe that will work for you! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693318

We havent even got a stable CM9 build and you expect we would get a properly working Jelly Bean build? Ya,right......
And,as far as i know,the sources wont be released until mid-july(thats what i heard from others) So,even if there is any chance of getting an unofficial build,it will be quite some time before we get it anyway.
Looks awesome....but I was drooling about that camera not the os

I'm sure the ace community with the devs can port this to your ace (even though it will not be stable at first). Let's face it guys, it is a point release and not a major overhaul of the OS. It is ICS but better

Yes we are If you see cm9 is supporting the galaxy s3 but as soon as cm10 Will have it too, supply is easier to integrate jelly bean with ics

We might get CM10.
Is that in the near future or the far future? Becuae the source code just got released and I think TouchWiz is a ***** to be incorporated with AOSP or something like that.
And even then, I don't think all the features will work right? I think...
I just don't wanna get rid of this phone. Mainly for the Camera. I don't care about the processor at all.

Samsung announced that the S3 will be getting the update in Q4. So sometime before the end of 2012. I'm thinking end of October or early Novermber.
Of course we are getting both. We will be getting an official update from Sammy with TW and an AOSP rom from the CM team. Hell even old GS1 phones will be getting JB because where there's a will there's a way. One thing for sure though is you need a little patience; Source just dropped a couple days ago. Let these cooks spend some time in the kitchen and you'll be rewarded greatly.
Samsung is probably waiting until right around the new iPhone release to release gs3 with jelly bean lol

What do you think? Do you really think Samsung is going to wipe out TW because of Jelly Bean? We'll get TW Jelly Bean, and I'm sure CM10.
