Meaning very soon we finally get GB?

CM mods have recently come out with a alpha build for Epic based on EH17 leak, you should check it out. With this source I'm sure we'll get a very amazing build coming soon for CM users.

Good news.

Does this mean we're close to an official GB release? I'm unfamiliar with the normal order of these things.

Yes I would say this is a sign of GB release very soon. Samsung has always been known for releasing the source code a few days before officially releasing the OS update.

The source is on the servers so I would say its finally gonna happen

all hail samsprint!

so.... when do we get ice cream? :-[

 

[Paul627g]

LOL.. ICS... That my friend may come in the form of some port somewhere down the road but I wouldn't bank on it....

Seeing how quietly this whole source code release and all is going I'm beginning to wonder if Sammy got this thing bug free or are they just finally throwing out whatever they ended up with...

Glad to see this phone getting a bit of love. It deserves it.

 

[cheburashka]

i hope the reason they are being quiet is because they are embarrassed. and yes *hopefully* they ironed everything out... finally.

I agree with dtm_stretch on this one... Finally getting something it deserved a long time ago... I just hope the dedicated people still remaining on the Epic 4g appreciate what they are getting even if it isn't a BIG change.

@dtm, hows that SGSII treating ya?

It makes a whole lot more sense to keep an Epic and upgrade to Gingerbread than to buy another 4G phone that is not LTE

Amazing I love it. It isn't without flaws though. Instead of a beep for no signal, I get a notification in the notification bar....every single time I lose signal or go into roaming. Also that damn Loss of Signal bug, luckily chris41g hooked us up and fixed samsung's crappy source.

 

[Paul627g]

Great to hear dtm. Well maybe a notification pop up will be much easier to track down and remove than the beep we could never locate. Chris is one of the tops so he should great you guys good.

Maybe this is the one!

I think that says enough there... Official GB shouldn't be far away now boys and girls...

I wonder if it's EI21 or a build since then.
