So seeing as google just had their conference as well as the release of the ICS SDK, will we be able to see some ROMS come to our device? I don't know anything about coding or any of this stuff, but ICS does look tasty.
SDK is for app develop... not for Rom developing =(
Ics source code has to be released for custom roms

I am interested to see if CM will make use of this now! I have CM7.1 on my phone right now and love it over ASOP 2.3.4. Any one know if they will work on moving to the 4.0 source now?
Well, a off-topic comment on AndroidCentral said that XDA already has it's hands on the Nexus system dump.
I have a viewsonic gTablet too, and I have tried some ROMs based on Honeycomb "dumps" from the Xoom, I was very unimpressed (by no fault of the developers, they did amazing work on porting things) so I think I will wait on roms built from source rather than a dump from phone with different hardware.
CyanogenMod 9 (yes, that's right: 9) will be based on ICS. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before we see it on the DHD/Inspire.
I was more interested in the 4.65" 1280x720 display. The pixel density is almost the same as a iPhone 4

Why not 8? Is the CM team going to skip 8 in favor of 9?
Also, from all the information I've read, nobody still makes a clear statement on this: Is Ice Cream Sandwich hardware accelerated? Because if it's not, that's a huge shame.

CM8 will be honeycomb (3.0) if the source ever gets released... which would make ICS (4.0) CM9.
Let me google that 2nd question for you
Ha - not being a ****, just always wanted to use a lmgtfy link
They could technically make something based on the SDK (something DeeperBlue did for the Nook Color with Honeycomb), but since we expect a soon-ish source release for ICS, putting all of that work into it would be kind of ridiculous
Yes it will be hardware accelerated

yes it will be able to run it, seeing as we saw it being tested on a nexus s, which has less ram and what in my opinion is a crappier processor(still pretty good though), so im pretty sure itlll run it just fine
i have my fingers crossed that di11igaf will make another amazing rom (sandwichbeast? icecreambeast? icemonster? abominablesnowman?)!!! If not, then i'll be waiting for cm9 to hit!
There is a nice ICS ADW theme out there right now. No functionality, but the look and feel is cool.

Gingerbread is the latest smartphone Android OS. Honeycomb is a heavily modified Froyo/Gingerbread created specifically for tablets. ICS is the next generation of Android, merging the codebase of Gingerbread and Honeycomb (and new features) into a single OS appropriate for use on tablets and smartphones.
Honeycomb is, according to Google, somewhat of a rushed OS. It was cobbled together quickly just to get out an OS that's halfway decent for a tablet.
Smh.

I guess I missed the "Primer on upcoming Android versions" in the rooting guide.
The CEO of Notion Ink, Rohan Shravan, is at it again with news about the Ice Cream Sandwich source code release, saying it will be released November 17. While it's tempting to just toss this aside as another rumor in the ICS/Galaxy Nexus craze of late, Mr. Shravan has a track record that shows he's usually right. Last year, he did the same thing with the Gingerbread release, accurately predicting more than could be a good guess, and just last month he told everyone about the OMAP chipset and Ice Cream Sandwich using them as a reference platform. When he talks, it's always worth listening, and the Nov. 17 date has already been thrown out there as the European release. If we see source code on the 17th, the 18th is going to be a very fun day for a lot of us.

No, the ICS Source Code will be made available to the public on Nov 17th. This means that Developers will be able to start working on ICS for a specific device. The advantage here is that the SGS II has a huge fan-fair also is quite open with development and has kick azz hardware, hence it will most likely be picked up for development right away with results to show soon after.
I won't lie, after reading this, I got really excited. For the past few weeks, I've been using MIUI, but once a stable ICS ROM comes out (I'm hoping/guessing CyanogenMod), I think the pure AOSP experience will be even better
Released or not ive been dam patient about ICS to come out. So dam patient that ive past my time by continuous amounts of games on my Galaxy SII!!

We've all been patient, and regardless of whether it's Nov.17th, or slightly later, ICS is coming soon, and it will be a whole new level of operating system
Personally, I've been passing the time with Shadowgun on my I9100 (thank you Chainfire3D )
Wait a minute, Google are hosting a big Android event on the 16th! Good chance that that means they'll release the source code the day after the event, or on the day (if we assume the difference in date due to time zones). This adds a lot more credibility to the idea
I am a bit concerned about the date that Samsung is going to release ICS for SGS II.
Wouldn't this still be unusable on our SGS2 unless they release a device with proper drivers for the mali400?

Regarding drivers there is not going to be any big changes from 2.3.7 to 4.0. So it wont be a problem. Official drivers may be more optimized .

I Agree. I think we will see a stable build of ICS with 2.3.x drivers and a much more optimized build via Samsung.
From there, the fun begins of Custom Roms and Great Tweaks.

I think that's a lot of wishful thinking to expect it this month, at least a stable build for us to use on a daily basis.
I think Mid DEC should be a good time for a decent build, permitting driver compatibility and the Source Code release is on the 17th.

as their source are closed and hard coded so well, lets hope we can enjoy to "port"
but a official i asked on their page but no answer lmao
I've never been a MIUI fan myself, though I can understand why people like it.
With respect to the TF, I really can't see the point until at the very least MIUI is updated to ICS.

MIUI will make it a knock off iPad. i honestly never really liked MIUI, i mean i run it every once in a while but meh...
From what I saw on the MIUI site, can't say I see why so many people love it or hate it but then again I usually keep things pretty AOSPy anyway.
I think there is an MIUI ICS ROM for the Optimus One or MyTouch 4G, so I assume there is or will be an ICS based MIUI, therefore tablet support is probably half-implicit there. So someone could probably port it if they cared to work on it. Me, eh, I'll stick with something closer to stock.

miui is based off of cyanogen mod so you need a port of cyanogen mod before you get a miui port. since 7 was gingerbread 8(honeycomb) is not hppening you will have to wait for cm9 which is confirmed for the transformer then you can start a port of miui
CM9 first alphas (KANGs but still) are coming soon, and as the TF is one of the mainstream Tegra2 tablets, it will surely get official MIUI support.
Porting should be easy as the binaries are ARMv7 on both side, it's the graphics what are problematic. MIUI Team (and Xiaomi) has to develop a brand new extensive system for tablets, and such, it will take time. Although Xiaomi already posted some screenshots about MIUI 4.0, so we are currently waiting.

A version for the HP Touchpad has emerged, and there are MIUI lockscreen and launcher projects for phones, maybe they release them for tablets sometime.

About iOS vs MIUI...from iOS I don't think they're really worth comparing, they have cosmetic similarities but they're totally different experiences IMO.

CM9 can definitely be a precursor to MIUI for the transformer. I've worked on MIUI for my phone (Samsung Epic 4g) and it uses the CM7 kernel. If we get a working CM9 kernel then it shouldn't be a hassle to get ICS MIUI on the transformer.

Hey guys,
From what I've read on the forums I think most of us nexus users used to have a Palm Pre running webOS. I just have a quick question for the awesome devs in this community.
Now that webOS has gone completely open source, do you guys thinks there is a way to port a rom for the NS4G or NS?
Thanks

Yeah, just for fun would be great and with the speed of the nexus it would be a great dual boot option.
I really miss the cards and notifications on webos, even the ICS still don't compare on how they worked.
Once they realease the source code let's hope someone would help. I would gladly do it but i have no idea on how to compile Roms.
If someone has a 101 or a tutorial to read, would be great.

AOSP is for nexus phones by design, it was something that most companies and Google were comfortable with when they were adopting android from windows mobile.
If you remember, windows mobile was highly customizable and all the OEMs had their own thing going on. This is where android is picking up from.
Don't hold your breath on a pure AOSP phone that's not nexus, it won't be common for a while.
