But remember we stuck in KI2 (2.3.3) for quite a long time?

hahaha! that's y custom ROM rules!!!

how much and from where? can you give the link please. thanks

Yes i think we will get the ICS pretty late as usual. Don't get our hopes up guys.
Be prepared for a long long wait. Hope i am wrong.

Samsung Malaysia is very lazy, thats why update lambat.

That's why we have odin and xda.. And cwm..

They promised ICS in Q1 2012. But I think as soon as there's a stable CM9 I'll root and flash it again

You used what telco first?

its not malas ma, may be they delay it for the G version to release first.

i dun get why people want to wait for official release.. hope for xda release got brighter light

yeah, waiting for checkrom V5

Because:
- Some people are lazy
- Some people are not tech savvy
- There are also a lot of fakap developers in XDA

except for the 2nd point.. i'm the person samurai1337 talking about..

Jus like when u buy a new car. Some may want to mod the car & some like stock standard to maintain warranty. Some like to root their devices & some prefer stock reason being only 'for day to day use". Custom roms
are usually not stable, buggy & laggy. Official versions are always stable and that why worth the wait.Jus my 2 sen..

same as when we bought the phone. we use the stock rom for the first 1 week right?and then we root and load custom rom. some times the stock rom itself got good options compared to the custom rom.

any way, it up to you to decide which one to use

That's not always true though, last time when I used stock rom I had FC more than now. Once custom rom reach a state of maturity they are more stable and have better performance and battery life. Some developers such as pikachu does a better job than Samsung developers.

If I can mod my car for free and DIY (no need bring to workshop) and it will become Lambogini car, I will gladly give up the warranty But ya that's people's choice I get it..

That is not always true. Look at G version official rom.

And custom roms are not laggy nor unstable. Bugs maybe but also seldom.

+100000000

My G version freezes about once a day on average Sometimes a few times a day

Other issues are like app crashes and the occasional camera failures

Eh i thought u solve it already by removing sd card.

You dun have to be tech savvy to flash custom rom, just need to know how to read and follow instructions.
If users of XDA can read and follow insruction, the developers will not be so fakap.
