Check android.com. They released it right after the event about an hour ago. Galaxy Nexus is on its way and Android 4.0 is out now.

SDK only.

I think they would need the source code no?

It's been over a year, but I think a while back on the nexus one they were able to build a really crappy alpha from the SDK.
Not 100% sure, but I think that's what happened. But that was only with a GB build.

SDK is to develop app for ICS, not rom.
Apple also released their SDK for developer. Does not mean someone can port iOS on any device.

Yes. there is no guaranty that they will release it. Look at honeycomb.

True true. But they said from the beginning Honeycomb would not be open source. They said 4.0 will be open source, so it's only a matter of time now.

They also announced a HSPA+ version of phone. So it should come to t-mobile soon.

If you really want to see ICS for yourself, run the emulator through the SDK:
Here is an older guide:
http://androidandme.com/2009/10/news/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-play-with-android-2-0-in-the-emulator/
So far the emulator actually runs pretty fast.
Interesting things:
Gesture builder - This is an app in the app drawer, allows for you to build gestures, but not associate anything with them.
Calendar - As the day progresses, the past becomes grayed out. Very easy to tell where you are in the calendar app in regards to timing.
MMS - You can attach files directly from the message creation screen. No need to go into any menus.
Other than that, there are no GAPPs so I can't poke around any further.

They said their would be LTE & HSPA+ versions dependant on release region, Verizon has exclusive don't they? That would mean an LTE release in the US.

[Q] ICS source released

http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-source-code-now-being-pushed-git-servers
Question about the process.
So if you have source available what does it take to adopt for Infuse? Is it a huge endavour and might never happen or it's something feasable?
I fear we would need some help from Samsung for a relatively working port to be possible, please correct me if I am wrong though. If it was possible it would probably be along the lines of CM7 as in there would still be Bluetooth issues and such because of our unique hardware. I love my Infuse and hope we can get a semi working port, but I will probably be jumping ship when devices start rolling out with ICS.
At a minimum:
1. Get AOSP working with our bootloaders.
2. Get our drivers integrated into the source.
3. Get the kernel configured correctly.
There are going to be other issues to consider as well. For example, the ICS launcher is hardware accelerated. Depending on how other implement it our hardware might not be able to handle it.
Just as an example: compiling the ICS launcher from scratch at the GB 2.3.3 level produces over 800 errors. I've narrowed most of them down to the HA features of the ICS API. Google has released a "support package" to help with development, but I don't know how much it is going to help because it hasn't finished downloading yet
The Infuse can definitly handle it, its just the probability is becoming zero, the Infuse is being sold for 1 penny online now. I am pretty sure they are in the first stages of getting rid of our infuse from the market.

correct me if I'm wrong, but there has been no action on Samsung/AT&T related to I997 since its release, and in a matter of few weeks it flew from $ 200 to free/$0.01, weird way of doing business
But the HTC hero is getting ics ported to it right now as we speak...isn't that cool...:-/

I'm fine with what I've got. What does ICS have that's making everyone here wet themselves??
I have a feeling Samsung will release ICS for the SkyRocket by March. AT&T on the other hand..... but that's pretty cool because with all of the ROMS available (and hopefully upcomming ROMS and MODS) the current OS is still pretty cool and highly functional. I have one question Sean. IS there or will there be a way to enable NFC on the stock ROM. I don't want to keep beating this into the ground, but with ICS a ways off, NFC would be a nice addition to the stock ROM. Someday I will be ready to try different ROMS (more than likely one of yours), but until then I'm going to stick with stock. Thanks.

Skyrocket uses the same sound chip (yamaha), so it'd destroy it on the SR also.
Our ICS dev is even more destroyed by the fact that we have a different SoC, we'd honestly probably have to take the code from something like the Vivid or the Rezound for the drivers for the CPU, GPU, stuff like that, correct me if I'm wrong here dev's.

Hopefully, I just helped a little (donated). We have to support and keep the DEVS. If you could get NFC working on stock...that would be awesome, but all of yours (and the other DEVS work) is deeply appriciate!

Bought you a couple of beers for your hard work too...
This is my first android phone regardless, so gingerbread is still cool with me. But i would like to get ICS eventually. But i take it we have to wait for samsung to roll out their update before we can start making true ICS roms. Sky ice cream sandwich is holding me over anyway.
I know the ICS beta leaked for the galaxy s2, just not skyrocket. So at least they are working on something over there.

Well, for starters, it's the first Android OS that's actually built to utilize dual core processing (not the case for Gingerbread). For everything else, try doing some actual reading on ICS sometime.

Out of the box maybe, but once we have it, devs will be in a much better position to give us AOSP-like ROMs that work like they should.

It's the single biggest leap the OS has ever taken (particularly on phones, since it incorporates all the advancements of Honeycomb as well).
It's much faster, optimized for dual core, features a fully hardware accellerated UI so everything is much smoother and more responsive, much improved multi-tasking support, a major redesign to the actual look, and improvements to most of the native google apps.
If the firmware of your phone is at all a concern to you, ICS is a pretty big deal. It doesn't reinvent the Android experience, but it's as major of a refinement as we've ever gotten.

I believe he may have been talking about this. It's an ICS build from qualcomm for the MSM8660 processor... which just happens to be the processor we have on the skyrocket.

Cornerstone by Onskreen just went Open Source!

Cornerstone allows you to see multiple apps running at once, like a window manager for Android.
This is some seriously cool ****. Check it out:
http://onskreen.com/cornerstone/
They have just gone Open Source and put the code on GitHub.
It's not as useful for tiny phone screens, where you need every pixel for just a single app. But for tablets -- especially the 7" and 10" sizes -- this is a huge deal. Android tablets can now actually be used for real work.
I would love to see this in CM9. So far, no official APK has been released, and it's not clear whether a deeper level of integration is required from ROM vendors. I've asked some basic questions on their Google group for Cornerstone development:
http://groups.google.com/group/cornerstone-dev
Further Info:
In order to control the screen display of other 3rd-party apps, Cornerstone does in fact make changes to the Android "/framework" code. (There are those framework changes, plus two APK packages that provide the GUI for launching and managing apps.)
This means that Cornerstone support would need to be integrated into the ROM directly. It cannot simply be installed with an APK. I'm fairly new to Android development, but it seems like it would be necessary to apply their changes to the Cyanogenmod GitHub tree and then build a new ROM for your specific device.
It would be easiest for users if the CM team if they integrated the support directly into their tree; then users would be able to choose to use the end-user APK files or simply not use them.
Any chance you could post an apk? I'm not able to build it otherwise till tomorrow or so and that sounds awesome!

Mmm I was thinking they just posted the source and was letting people just sign the apk from there. I guess I just misunderstood.

ICS alpha 2 testing conerstone
hey I'm kind of new to this community. But have some experiences rooting and flashing android devices. I had flash ICS 4.0.3 to a Tmobile Samsung vibrant, gs2, nexus, htc EO a lot more. finally my touchpad running ICS 4.0.4 with some WiFi and Browser issues. I guess is common because is a rough build.
. I'm going to flash ICS with cornerstone let you know how it goes...
I know this is old post...
I had a brief to using cornerstone back in the day. IT WAS AWESOME!!!
Been thinking of it ever since. So SAD that it didn't take off.
Please......somebody bring it back!!!!
For the love of God!!! LOL

Why oh why is my brain not big enough to bring this back from the dead?!

are we beta testers?

Please don't think I'm trying to discredit rootzwiki' or their source for the leak, but do you ever feel like Samsung wanted ics to leak on purpose? I bet you they are just creeping this forum, looking for bugs we find, watching how our devs here tackle them, and make noted and fixes for the next version.
I mean why not? Everyone here who flashed it did it knowing what could go wrong. They didn't send it ota and make customers mad, and Samsung has been pretty root friendly with their hardware. Is Samsung lazy? Stuck on development? Or just needed people to do the dirty work?
If this is the case they know we all hate touchwiz, but I don't see that changing.
They could also see we all voided our warranty, haha

LOL all part of the plan I guess. They gave us an unlocked bootloader to make it that much easier!
I'd actually like to think that. That just means a faster OTA for us!

More likely the leak comes as a result of a closed soak test beta or something. They're probably aware that it'll leak and don't care too much.
I think the leak is due more to the change.org petition that was started a week or so ago. Samsung probably figured it would passify us enough to not bother them anymore, at least untill JB comes out.
On the other hand, it would not suprise me if they released this "beta" to help get the kinks out before ota.
In the gaming world, Steam let the indie game company Kerberos release Sword of the Stars II and it was like a mid to late alpha version and practically unplayable so they would meet their release date deadline. It was pretty much unplayable but they could get tons of feedback from the people who bought it.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------
We should hide a string in the code to see if they push our update OTA!
LOL
It sure would be funny to see that pass OTA
I actually contacted them two days ago reguarding when the update to 4.0 or what ever 4.0.? it would be would be coming out. They said, that I would have to ask Google and At&t about it that they didn't have to much to do with it, but do make sure it rolls out smoothly. That's the short of what they gave me.
Why rely on the carriers to do all the dirty work when you can release (or "leak") it and let the masses find all the issues for you? Its a smart thing that companies do all the time. I for one am happy it was "leaked"
I've always been a fan of leaks no matter what the phone, but being coming from a locked bl to a new device, recovery, etc catching up on the SGSII Skyrocket wasn't hard. But that build for being a leak was so complete it was stunning. And the devs jumped on it like hyenas on carrion. Lol. As we love them for doing so.
Part of me can't wait for the AOSP and Source to get out for their "Official" OTA. That's where the fun begins....
Sent from my Samsung Skyrocket SGH-i727 4.0.3 -> ??
As long as it get the of the OTA earlier I'm OK with that! Is that most of the android code opensource anyway?

ICS Firmware Update ROM (If possible)

The Sidekick has been a Froyo-only device so far. We may be getting a Gingerbread port soon....
A true version of android ported to the Sidekick ANY would be godsend to us all xD we've been on Froyo since launch. I would cut the tip of my pinky off for ICS .-. .... I'm not even joking. I wouldn't miss it.
Actually, never thought of this, but what are the odds we could even back-port to eclair or vanilla???????
By the way, why did you post this in the dev section? o.o

Sadly, not even close. But if we could find some devs looking for a challenge then we may someday. I mean, I know the Kick can handle it, I own an Optimus T and that has 4.2 and AOKP, Cyanogen and a whole lot of roms. On a 600mhz processor. Crazy right?
But as said by ged said, we may soon have a GingerBread port I'm excited about that.
I'll ask a couple devs I know (and possibly post a thread in the general section to see if anyone interested). I don't think any device should be stuck on froyo. For Gods sake, the HTC Dream can run freaking JB!!!

Shortly after that, I went and bought myself a Galaxy S2, and to be completely honest, I regret doing so. I wish I had bought the S3 instead, or even the Nexus 4, even though it has only 16GB max, no removable battery or sd card slot.
