I was having trouble compiling this kernel using -j5 which worked fine with other kernels... I just did make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE without using -j, it took a while but it worked...

Ain't that the truth pg. metro rarely does anything for there phones which is ridiculous considering the prices they charge for there phones, U would think that they could afford to pay for an update more often than not ;-)
 
first, verizon's lucid got ics update on october
then, the sprint's viper got it also on yesterday
i don't even sure about this connect4g, let's prey

i still hope we can find this AS840 firmware, because it's a generic rom, almost no bloatware

No I talked to an engineer that test various phones for MetroPCS before they come over to the network and he said that MetroPCS has a policy of no OS upgrades outside of security and current OS issue fixes, so to go from one OS to a newer OS like say GB to ICS is not allowed with MetroPCS, they rather you buy a new phone. So there will be no ICS release for the Connect so you can stop praying.

That Can't Be True Cause Metro Updated The Huawei Ascend From Android 2.1(Eclair) To Android 2.2(Froyo)!!!!

Thats been the only device and mainly due to a special edition ascend that came with 2.2. Not been a device since get a os upgrade.

Now this being the S3 its not going to be lacking dev support, so screw official otas lol

I built it, I just need someone who knows how to put it into a boot.img to do that then have someone flash it.
