I think technically all OSs, in their pure form, are considered AOSP. Once Samsung, Motorola, LG, and HTC get their hands on it it's considered TouchWiz, MotoBlur, ???, Sense.
Anyway. Excited to see it being uploaded to the Git servers... i just wish i had the knowledge to make my own OS.

Cm9 alpha, where are u

It isn't technically AOSP until the source is released. Otherwise it is actually still closed source.

I think he's referring to the fact that ICS source has now been released, and therefore is now part of the Android Open Source Project.

I'm excited.
Also, I really hope this will be the only thread about it in this section. I can see 10 other people making the same thread by days end lol.

i did see a ICS rom being made, here in the general section. maybe they will get it released before cyanogen. that would be nice

I'm so excited for the roms to come out! Been waiting for forever!

That one couldn't have been based off anything other than a system dump from the galaxy nexus and the ICS SDK. It would be incomplete at best. Not to knock the work being done on it, but the dev(s) only had so much to work with. We have SOURCE CODE now. So exciting.

Probably about a month until we see some unofficial CM9 builds. That's my best guess.

i'd imagine CM9 nightlies to come sooner. maybe about 2 weeks or so.
here's to hoping anyway. but i'd like to see a pure AOSP build within the next couple days if possible :-D

I'm expecting virtuous team release a ICS ROM

[AOSP] Android 4.0 source code release.

http://source.android.com/
Everything happens there.

OMG !!! ICS coming soon on our DS that's NIIIIIICEEEE
I hope the API switch is simple for our belovers developpers

Yes, with that all issues will be fixed soon.

great news. i hope i can use ICS on my DS soon.

Will DS be updated by HTC officially?
The official list only contail mobile with dual core.

We don't know yet, time will answer.

I'm pretty sad to break this to you, but the chances of an AOSP build are very low because of this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...he-heavy-artillery-this-is-what-it-will-take/
Barely anyone here can have this kind of stuff. The best chance we have is waiting for a build for Desire HD (It's the most likely HTC device to get one) and then superkid will port it.

Our Desire S will get the update prior to Desire HD.
Check out this link... Source
cheer!!!

I don't mean an official update from HTC, i mean a custom ROM built from source by XDA devs. That, DHD is sure to recieve first, the devs there are too many.

okay, but i guess Cyanogenmod will build it from the source

Sorry but why do you think so? This is not sooo extra ordinary... If you don't have such hardware you could also put the build to the cloud. Also these are recommendations! You can also build on lower resources it just takes longer

longer then 5 hours? wow xD

My laptop compiles Gingerbread fine. I doubt ICS will be a problem.

Well, mine compiles ginger bread too, but recommended was lot lower... anyways... its gonna be okay

a week?!!!! are u kiding?!!! i want it right now!!! give me that!!

No wonder all the ICS' threads are being locked

this is a video of how far we have gone porting ICS on our device

I guess it doesn't matter much.. This thread will be close or die out since there's nothing to discuss here about ics..

that's the ICS port's name that cannot be spoken about here
it's like Sauron's ROM or something

I wont post a link to the page, but looking at Kmobs Google+, he posted a few pictures comparing his Sensation and Galaxy Nexus.
-In one picture he shows the 'about phone' screen on both phones. On Sensation, it looks like there is a color gradient, however its hard to tell. So MAYBE they have hardware acceleration working.
-Also if you read the 'mod version' it says CyanogenMod-9.0.0-RC0-Sensation-KANG. I'm a noob and Im not sure if the mod version will tell anything, but it says RC0 so maybe its Release Candidate status?
-One last thing I noticed is he has the same widget running when he compares homescreen, so he is kind or mirroring the two, but the Galaxy Nexus has the camera shortcut on the homescreen and Sensation does not. Not sure if that means its not working on Sensation, or if he just didnt put it there
Mods: if I posted anything I shouldnt have, please feel free to delete the post and contact me. Im familiar to the rules for the most part.

lol. should compare date released and prices for devices. the longer the date the device was released and the cheaper price it is, it should have many devs and support for it. as our devices is quite new (not that new lol) but its like a decisive thing for devs really, if they want to get the sensation and create ports there or just go to the newest device there is on the market. but needless to say, we have plenty of devs here. its just a matter of enjoying whats there and being patient. so, stay on and relax

It seems like developement for the Sensation is slowly dying.Looks like all the good devs have jumped ship to newer phones It's kinda depressing since the phone is only 6 months old.I wish i could afford to buy a new phone every 6 months.

Sadly, but true....

We have a good collection of roms though, and we will be getting ICS regardless from HTC. I don't mind if devs jump ship.

Yeah, TripNiCE ROM is now Alpha 7.5, quite perfect and very stable.
It seems that we could have a stable release (or two if CM9/Kang release something too) till Christmas !

LG and/or NVIDIA from what i gathered. There's alot of stuff that just doesn't work right, or not at all, mainly sound and camera. The old ALPHA for G2x versions worked, but lacked sound and lots other internal issues that haven't been resolved yet.

The creator of the eaglesblood ROMs is trying to port over ICS from his Gnex... I think he can do it, he probably has more knowledge about this phone than all of LGs developers combined.

Well if he does, and it works, then i'll start a ROM based from it.

I dont know much *(or anything) about programming and so on. but this entire fragmentation way of doing things, where each company needs to have their own team and we all need to wait for the release of google's latest, is just plain annoying.
At the mercy of a company that already sold you their device? that's not smart. Google should hold all SC (or drivers, or whatever U call these) and release them to all public and all phones at the same time.
But what am I BSing about?!
THANKS

Well I have managed to port 4.0.3 to my g2x but still can't get sound and cam right like the other builds. But some things ive found improvements on. Since my g2x is just a play toy for me I don't care about camera but without sound its useless. Im still messing with it but put it to the back burner for now because I'm highly frustrated with it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Cyanogen stated that they got sound to work, they just can't get the cam to work.
Also that one guy doing the 20 people beta for his ics rom claims he also got everything to work except the camera.
I think we should be getting close to a functional rom, cyanogen is pretty dang close.

Word on my contacts is the last bits we're waiting on a code release from LG which will come only when an official ICS Rom comes down the pipe for the p990 or p999.... those on the ICS CM9 team working on the o2x/g2x team tell me they'll be able to adapt what they need from o2x even if g2x doesn't get an official release, though we'll have to wait and see.

This made me grin.

the lack of an ICS rom for my G2x is making me wish i bought a sensation. however, i've been having nothing but trouble flashing the new firmware for my gf's sensation, thus i can't even use the ICS roms. i just gotta be patient.

The only reason I avoided the Sensation was the price difference, hehe. Turns out it had its own set of problems like the G2x. Seems to me ICS is forthcoming with no set timetable by the devs.

Hey Lets Vote For Official MIUI On Our Device

Even though we already have a working miui, official miui team is taking poll to make miui for another device official. An official release will mean less bugs and faster updates.

Stop comparing MIUI to iOS just because it has all the app on the launcher, MIUI is more than that..

+1 MIUI is NOT an iOS clone.. its way more..
stop judging and try it, see for yourself.. if you dont like use something else, dont ***** at the people that do use it lol

+1 me love MIUI

You guys just sit down and relax, i'm totally sure One S will have official support, because almost every above par HTC has it!

I hope we do. but miui tends to keep a lot of older devices and add the newer one later.
but we have a good head start with the unofficial rom, hope they are aware of that.

I find it hilarious and embarrassing how many phones were added to that list more than once...

I will be updating my ROM every week, just like China. It would be done already today, but there was a delay in China. The other thing to realize is if it does go official, it will be based off sense, so the file size will be at least double of what my port is.

That's the way MIUI has been doing all their official v4 releases. It's called patchrom. By doing it that way, they don't have to really on there being a developed aosp base, which can help the roms be released sooner. Downside is the zips are like double the size, and it's not an aosp ROM anymore
