Android 2.x on Galaxy

[stephnd]

so samsung galaxy 7500 will not get any 2.x updates? :| waiting for musty now...

 

[porga]

Someone who speak spanish should ask author to tell source of this article. Since we know they are testing it, we could see it eventualy? Maybe?
The thing that bothers me is if they are testing why dont we ser betas on android-firmwares? We can only see betas of 1.6
They didnt publish beta of 1.6 for Spica... so...

 

[mrqs]

they do mention sources

Source androidcentral, Androidsis Xatakamovil, koreanewswire

first link doesn't have a single mention of samsung, let alone the galaxy; next two are about the spica and the last one links back to themselves

so in conclusion, they're a bunch of idiots who don't know what they're talking about

I don't think they're a bunch of idiots. Because during MWC they posted this [MWC 2010] Samsung Beam I8520 y actualizaciones para Samsung Galaxy | and.roid.es

- Samsung Galaxy (I7500): This maintenance release an update to 2.0/2.1, but once you see the launch of Spica, the date is unspecified.

Spica (i5700), not Galaxy (i7500)

Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica gets Android 2.1, ready for download - GSMArena.com news

 

[kalanjeya]

why the spica / psica business in samsung i7500.

I am a new user of i7500 looking for latest update. After spending 2 and half hours in this forum and drived me mad enough finally nothing in my hand.

Could any frequent visiter tell me which is the latest and best firmware ??

I just installed II5, when i entered in this topic , lkdjzxvhckzxjcvn;xkcvn well.

I have another question for android lovers.

being a II5 firmware device, can i update galaxy ROM with android 1.5 ??

when i visit the particular website to download galaxy ROM, it tell the latest version is Galaxo_V1.6.1 ...

is this Galaxo_V1.6.1 is updated one of galaxo ROM ?

can i update this Galaxo_V1.6.1 with android 1.5 ? i seen in some area for Galaxo_V1.6.1 i need to have android 1.6.


F**K it !!!

What the hell samsung is doing apart from they release their funny product.

Thank u all for reading this and undersating my situation here.

I got another reply on my 1.6 source query...

Dear Michael,

I would like to apologize for the source code based on Android 1.6 (Donut) being delayed.
The source code may be available on 1st week of April.

When the source code is available, I will send e-mail to you.
I'm really sorry about your inconvenience.

Regards
Max.

Hi All,

Thought it may be worth raising awareness for the work being done here on porting 2.x for the Galaxy.

If you can help with Dev or testing please do!

I think you'll find we're all very aware of GAOSP, and in fact it's already mentioned multiple times in this very thread

@MichaelW

Did you ask are they testing something?

I asked him a few things, but he takes a while to respond. I'll wait til he gets back to me again.

 

[brendan_p]

soz man, did not realise and thought it's worth mention as they seem to be very active.

Spica kernel for 2.1 is out, it seems we're few days from 2.6.29 sources...

 

[mrqs]

are the spica's sources gonna do any good tho'? it's a completely different machine after all

 

[sado1]

yeah but if they posted spica sources it seems this said first week of April for i7500 sources can be true

 

[wallysh]

Wishfull thinking

Any news?

 

[MichaelW]

Waiting for the next update Will the cam work in 2.1...?

Camera doesn't work currently, it should hopefully be fairly easy once Samsung release the source for 1.6 though.

Why? You mean you're dissappointed that 2.1 on Spica s*cks big time, which is we should not expect anything good for i7500 (if anyone's still wating, hehe)?

CONS:

* Inadequate sunlight legibility (not an OS issue)
* No ambient light and proximity sensors (works on 1.5?)
* Erratic performance under Android 2.1 (noticeable lag in some apps) (CPU issue)
* No Live Wallpapers (easily portable)
* No 3D view in the gallery (easily portable)
* No preloaded document viewer (easily portable)
* No multi-touch support (hw issue)
* CIF video recording is below par (hw issue)
* No Flash support for the web browser (same as 1.5)
* No two-position camera shutter key, slow autofocus (not an OS issue)
* Average loudspeaker performance (not an OS issue)

my comments in brackets. I'd be quite happy if they bring this kinda bad 2.1 fw for i7500.
