not for a while, untill google release the source code there will be no roms at all. At best guess maybe when they release ice cream sandwich they might release the code.

gotcha..cuz on my phone im running cm7.0.3.1 and i see in the CM settings theres an option for tablet tweak..curious what that was for seeng as it was built for the htc evo..lol (scratching my head)

There are tablets that run gingerbread roms. Probably meant for those. You can change the lcd density and get the aosp gingerbread launcher if you prefer.

ICS? I thought it was IBS.

I don't flame and usually stay out of wrong section arguments but come on. This isn't development related at all! Now let me get back to ripping apart this SDK image

An SDK isn't the same as the open source for the entire OS.
This only allows devs to update/create apps for ICS, not rebuild the entire OS for other devices.

cough so who gonnna develop this for us? now we on topic gimme ics or ima screammmmmm

Yes but from the SDK you can set up an ICS emulator and extract the files from the system image. People do quicky ports from this in the past just to show a device can run the new OS, but to build a fully functional OS you need the source to be posted.
If you already have the SDK installed just update the packages. No reason to install again.

Get to work devs... make it happen for us if possible

The devs don't have to get to work. Try saying words like please. Their time is valuable.

No source = no ports, rumours say source will be published right after the nexus prime release, by dec.

Those were my thoughts exactly.
Personally if I couldn't help in an objective I wouldn't demand it to be done for me.

I would imagine GB drivers are compatible for the ICS for backward compatibility (mesh phones and tablets). It wouldn't make sense to require new drivers when the goal is to mesh.
If that's the case, CM7 might just convert over relatively easy. I'm sure there are gonna be issues and they may be forced to wait until the Galaxy S upgrades.

That'd be amazing, and I see how that would be a smart choice by Google.
If that's the case though, why wouldn't be able to just take bits and pieces of ICS and make a fully working ROM? If the drivers are the same.
I mean from what I understand the drivers are the only real challenge (and other minor issues), from what I can see for my G-Tablet and Honeycomb..

Personally, I wish Google would stop announcing new versions of Android before more devices are updated to the current version. I've been watching the cycle since I started on Android 1.5.
Sent from the Evil Empire

there is no info about it yet, way too early in the game

I wouldn't think of Jelly Bean as something that will be hugely groundbreaking. It will probably be an incremental type of update, like Gingerbread was for Froyo.

Ditto, and I concur. They should wait till its close to ready at least. Maybe 1-3 months early instead of 6-9.

Actually Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3) were incremental updates to Eclair (2.0, 2.1) and I agree Jelly Bean will most likely be a incremental update.

Froyo was not an incremental upgrade to eclair. Froyo brought us flash. Only androids that had anything flash before that was HTC with their own flash light which could do some light flash items. But adobe's flash was introduced with froyo and was a real game changer.
There was also chrome to phone that was introduced with froyo and I believe Google goggles also.
I've been with android for quite a while and haven't looked forward to any upgrade as much as I did froyo.

Android 3.0 even possible on LG G2x?

I'm pretty new to LG G2x, and just wondering if it's even possible to have a ROM based on Android 3 or even 4?

Android 3.0 is only for tablets. So in other words, no. However, several 4.0 ROMs are in the G2x development section such as AOKP and Hellfire Sandwich. Just warning you that they're not as stable as 2.3 ROMs (at least for now.)

Nope.
Jelly bean will be what ics was supposed to do, which was to defragment the os which we know as android and let two become 1. Meaning tablet and smartphone integration, ive read on google that jellybean will support both platforms.

ICS is so beautiful. I can't wait til all sources are released and we can have a stable version! I wonder what JB is going to look and feel like?

Well, I have a G2X with ICS, and an ASUS Transformer running ICS as well, so the "integration" you speak of is happening now. I'm sure there can be refinements, but the OS version is the same; this isn't a feature waiting for the next version, unless I'm just missing what you're trying to say.

I feel like it'll be more like a Froyo -> Gingerbread type change in the looks department.
Rather than a Gingerbread -> Honeycomb type deal.

When Will TF300 Get Jelly Bean?

Im sorry if this has already been asked but I am on the fence of buying a tablet for work and ive narrowed it down to the Nexus 7 and the TF300. Im 99.9% sure I am going to be buying the TF300 ($100 more than the 16GB N7, but it has 2x the memory, 10", mHDMI out, and sdCard, no brainer). However I was wondering how the updates are from ASUS and when we could expect Jelly Bean?

Asus tends to be on top of things when it comes to updates in a timely manner. Although I wouldn't base your decision soley on jelly bean. As with any android version update, there are going to be bugs and app compatibility issues that has to be ironed out at first. Then android manufacturers have to tweak the source code and kernels to work with their roms. Then they have to iron out the bugs then. Any products of 2012 will most likely see jelly bean eventually. Newest isn't always the best. Especially when it comes to OS and software.

The N7 will be the priority for the short term. Once sales tail off then they can focus on the T700. They'll get to us promptly but not a priority. Yes, just IMO....

I understand the hype with jellybean. But when did ICS become an old outdated OS?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

put it this way
ICS is to JB what Vista was to Win7
(on most devices)
and that is the problem with Android, too many versions out at the same time that work perfectly well on the devices they are installed on

As soon as I loaded it on my Galaxy Nexus.
ICS is great, but JB is waayyyy better, imo.

I would think that since the Nexus 7 was built by Asus that they would have a leg up on getting updates out. Especially since they stick close to vanilla on their roms

Android 4.1 Source now in AOSP
Jelly Bean source is being released today to AOSP Per Jean-Baptiste Queru the Technical Lead for the Android Open Source Project at Google...

What's replacing flash?

Nothing is replacing Flash. Flash doesn't need to be replaced. It needs to die and be forgotten. If your favorite websites still use Flash instead of proper HTML5, they need to get with the times and dump the resource- and bandwidth-hogging abomination known as Adobe Flash. E-mail them, and let them know that they need to update their $#!t.

I'm new here and an android newbee. I purchased an Asus tf300t a few day ago and have been reading up on all the cool ways it can be modded.
I've already rooted and overclocked it.
Is there a way that I can install JB on it as it's already rooted?

Once rooted, can it be upgraded via the official method (from Asus)? I just bought TF300 and waiting for it in the mail, so excited

Yes, a rooted TF300T can still receive OTAs. But you may lose root access after applying it, so use VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to backup.
