More happy news follows for Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 users as an all new RC version of ICS has arrived which is dubbed as RC3 ICS Android 4.0.3 firmware version. Please note that this is not an official version of firmware released by Samsung Electronics and as per our close sources we understand that very soon an all new Value pack will be pushed to all the Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 phones on the similar lines of that of XXJVU firmware.

We really thank the developers that is Paul Forde who has made a huge contribution in rolling out this One Cosmic ICS Custom ROM. Last time we saw on how you can install the RC 2.1 ICS Android 4.0.3 Firmware.
