it will get the update un officially!
do samsung galaxy s plus i9001 get official android 4.0 update…?
Samsung has said that Galaxy S variants willn’t get ICS update.
maybe what they meant was that galaxy S variants such as the ones sold in north america rather than the S Plus.
as in Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, fascinate, Mesmerize etc. Perhaps they class the S Plus as another phone all together.
is it official dates for Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100G ?
we cant comment on the exact and official dates but it will be launched soon!
How certain is the information about galaxy s and galaxy s plus not getting ICS?
it will get, but un officially!
When Samsung Galaxy S2-GT I9100G withh get official ICS 4.0 ?
No announcement from Samsung Team about the ICS update date of it.
u sure optimus black will get ICS update?
yes it will get but un officially!
May I know what is the latest official/unofficial version for Galaxy S2-GT I9100G . currently i have 2.3.4

Thanks for yur update, as per above table Galaxy S II Yes December 2011 will get update ,is it applicable for S2 GT-I9100G.

Thanks for yur update, as per above table Galaxy S II Yes December 2011 will get update ,is it applicable for S2 GT-I9100G.

will samsung galaxy R get the icecream sandwich officially or unofficially???
Unofficially it will come but official one it has not been announced anything of the device from Samsung.
will there be upgrade to new android 4 ice cream sandwich in samsung galaxy s plus????
coz i m buying new samsung s plus…pls rply.
Samsung has announced that they will not update the Galaxy S and S plus with ICS.
lg optimus 2x will get the ICS, its confirmed by the LG officially
what do u mean unofficially?
u mean there will be developed xda roms and such?
if that is what u mean, there’s no reason to inform us about that, and that is understood that they will develop roms. the question here is are they going to make official SAMSUNG updates or not!
Officially is by the phone manufacturer, custom ROM are available for Android 4.0 for most of the phones they are not official ones.
That is what is describe on the table above (Official Launch)
unofficially means sources other than SAMSUNG! IT CAN BE XDA ETC.!
Claiming that Galaxy R will get ICS….and the adding unofficially is highly misleading. First of all Samsung Galaxy R is probably one of the least popular phones among developers right now. (Plus it’s not even properly promoted by Samsung e.g. there’s no way to find it on the most of national websites). The only meaningful resource that belongs Samsung Galaxy R is the impressive army of ordinary users that nobody gives a shit about. So to sum up: things are going really wrong with our device. It’s safe to state that there’s no aftermarket development at all in the moment. So it’s really doubtful we’ll get anything sooner unofficially than officially. Officially we’re enjoying
GB 2.3.4 in Europe, unofficially we’ve got one custom kernel so far. I don’t want to be misunderstood guys. I appreciate the job you do here. But how can anybody say that we’ll get ICS unofficially in such circumstances?
And Optimus 2X is getting ICS officially.
Will the Samsung Galaxy W be getting ICS does anybody know?
Thanks.
IT WONT GET
Hi,
I know there has been little information regarding ICS getting upgraded to Samsung Galaxy W’s but I am not familiar with how these updates happen (I’m only looking into stuff for santa presents so I’m a bit lost..). Is it likely that it will be updated due it beening quite recent?
Thanks.

Is samsung galaxy pro is not getting any updates even in unoffcially [i rooted this model]
IT WILL GET SOON!
It’s too bad that samsung galaxy W doesn’t get update for ICS officially
While xperia neo, get ICS update.
I believe that Q1 for the final release of efficient ICS is reasonable. The Beta for Galaxy S2 has been tested and still has 70% room for improvement. Many of the functions does not work i.e Camera, Detection of SD ad External SD, Plenty of Force Closes. I say, better be patient and have a full working OS than something that is half cooked and we end up blaming Google or Samsung for our impatience.
Thanks Neal for all your Help.
