So owners of the original Galaxy line up (like myself) have had a real roller coaster of emotions since ICS was unveiled to the world.
We know how long it takes to get updates (having gone through 2 updates). We figured Samsung had our back (they did offer 18 months’ support at one time), but we had that nagging doubt…
Then they then said that the line up wouldn’t get the update. I was crushed, but it wasn’t a surprise.
Then we got teased with a media release saying they were re-evaluating their decision.
Then we heard that IF it comes, it wouldn’t be ICS, but a ‘value pack‘.
*Grumble Grumble*
Then news yesterday through the XDA vine discussed a possible leak of said Samsung “value pack ROM“. I’m leery if it’s the actual deal, as it apparently is dated BEFORE Samsung was waffling … and it has a screen shot of the ‘face unlock’ feature. How would that work? You would have to turn the phone around, and then hope it’s pointed in the right spot…
Anyways, for those of you daring enough to flash it, go ahead and pick through the instructions on XDA (I’m this close to giving it a try). There’s also some neat photo editing and camera UI features.
If you try it out, drop us a line!
