ICS for Skyrocket?

[Rescue29Engine]

Alright, it's past ridiculous with Samsung and it's affiliates annoucing release dates and then rescininding them. What's the hold up? Would I be better rooting my Skyrocket and getting ICS that way?

Devs will give us ICS well before Samsung. Bank on it. Root and be ready for it.

All Samsung would say is it will follow shortly

I agree with you there, especially how AT&T loves to drag their feet with updates. Only thing is the hardware in our phones is almost completely different from the international Galaxy SII. Once Sammy releases ICS for the international Galaxy SII LTE we'll have a solid base to work from.

FYI this ROM is very nice but it's not ICS (4.0). Its an ICS Launcher that runs on Gingerbread. I'm currently running this and I like it but its not the full functionality of ICS yet.

I've come to realize that when you get a Samsung phone on AT&T, be prepared to be last in line for any updates to the device. I went though this same thing with the Captivate. When I traded up to the SR, I resigned myself to being happy with Gingerbread, because I knew Samsung and AT&T would drag their feet in epic proportion getting ICS to the device. They have stayed true to form thus far. Samsung has the best hardware, but at the same time the worst track record for software updates.
