This is so tiring. Another thread about worthless source code. Source code without drivers compiled for our device against ICS is worthless. Devs cannot build an ICS build that will be stable without specific drivers built for iCS and the new kernel. Until LG releases or at least leaks an ICS build for our phone, we are not going to get a stable ICS rom, despite their being AOSP source code.

i never said anything about the devs to start making rom didnt i???? now that source code is release brands like lg will start working on then since they said they would. i know htc said that ics will come to my sensation earlier 2012
and even though developers make an ics rom without the manufacture release its versio it would not work correctly because of the drivers. it will have problems with gps etc etc

Release of ICS source code is still an important development for community rom development.
We can still get a stable build by compiling ICS against Gingerbread kernel.
We have fully working drivers for Gingerbread kernel.
Yes but the cookie in Ice Cream Sandwich is not Gingerbread.

I really hope you're right. My only concern before getting this phone was that of NVIDIA providing the devs with the drivers that we need for further Android updates.

Can't wait till the Roms start getting cooked from this
5 more days to release , quite excited to look into its features
I've been doing a little bit of reading any we probably won't see any ICS based ROMs until the Nexus Prime formally releases along with the release of the source code ... Which could be anytime between December and January.
Love it, android is now more and more briliant

Dammit, you might be right, we'll need to wait 2-3 months.
Or, maybe a ROM will leak before launch, maybe they even release the Nexus Prime by OCTOBER End (to counter iPhone 4S) Or better, google may be kind enough to release the source code before Nexus Prime (Eric said ICS was due october/november)
Considering that the OEM's & Google have agreed for a 18 month time line in providing updates to their devices.... the Desire S eventually will get the official ICS - OTA. . . .although we'll already have Custom ROM's from our dev's (proxuser , lowveld , mdeejay, etc ...) with ICS b4 that
3 days to launch...
Oh nice! Hopefully HTC will be fast to release an official update
Well, as soon as the source code is available (wether it is via cyanogen or google) ill do my best to build it from source
tomorrow will be a superb day, can't wait...........yaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ice cream sandwich out today. Waiting for a full lowdown on specs...

@kylon, the new OS has just been revealed today. So i doubt you are going to get a ROM with ICS already!!
But now that the SDK is available, things will be set in motion and soon we'll see the nexus prime ROM port or ROMs with ICS cooked from scratch, depending on how dev friendly the new OS is and what kind of API changes Google has implemented...
As far as Sense ROMs on ICS are concerned, we're a long way from getting there yet till HTC launch a new ICS device. I may be wrong but this is the current picture regarding ICS availability AFAIK...
Ah i thouth it was already relased
So...i ll wait htc

looking at the diff there isn't a whole lot of changes. It shouldn't take long for an aosp rom to be ready, and sense will be ready as soon as either they release a ICS phone or they update opensense.
Um i hope next android will be more powerful
I saw runny rom,there are new useful things,like finally a better browser
Add home screen on sense it s a little stupid,the screens will be 6 anyway.

etc.
How do I know which rom is aosp and which is cm7? I ask this to figure out which kernel I should install. As of now I'm on the miui rom and need to pick out a kernel from fauxs thread. Thx
Sent from my Sensation using XDA Premium App
So long as the developers listed the kernel as cm or aosp then you will be safe. I think cm7 is build off aosp source code.

All Cyanogen Mod ROMs are ASOP ROMs as Cyanogen Mod only builds ROMs crime source code. Also the MIUI ROMs or built from Cyanogen Mod source code which is Google source code that has been tweaked by the Cyanogen Mod team then released under the Cyanogen Mod name.
As far as how to tell you just have to read the thread title most of the time as it will have ASOP or CM7 in the thread title usually. If not it will say something about it being ASOP or being based off of CM7 somewhere in the first couple of post.

I don't believe MIUI is built from CM7 source anymore. It's AOSP.

So did I but I was informed last yesterday in another thread that it wsa built from CM Source. I will be looking into this now as it has my curiosity up now.
I believe its all based off cm7. Last I checked xboarder56 didnt have aosp on sensation built. It was harder than he thought. dude gave up and went elsewhere.
MIUI is AOSP with elements of CM7 code
To answer the OP, at present no one has built a 100% AOSP ROM so they're all CM7-based
Ice Cream Sandwhich AOSP source code has been released since late last year, I am just curious as to why the Skyrocket doesnt have a working ICS custom rom as yet.
I am a noob, but I notice many other phones have alpha builds and/or beta builds while all we have( much credit to its developers) are themed roms that look like ICS
Why is this?
ICS source code does NOT equal Samsung Kernel Source code....
you must have all the proprietary bits and blobs in order for it to work....
Drivers for the device. There has been plenty-o-talk about the subject. Samy has to release the source ICS kernel with the ICS drivers.

I'm not understanding Tjisana's question given that people like seanzscreams' have produced the Sky ICS ROM.
Is that not what he's after?
That rom is ICS themed. It is ICS in appearance only. Still a great rom but doesn't bring the features and additions that a true ICS rom will bring
Sent via smoke signal
Ah - got it. Shows you what little I know. That explains why the version number is still 2.3.6 and not 4.0.
Thanks for the quick update.

Do you know any other?

LOL at you not liking AOSP ROMs LMAO what do you think that CM9 is?
AOSP = Android Open Source Project. It is when Google releases the source code to a particular version of android (GB, HC, ICS) and this source is adapted to your device by usually taking existing kernels (or kernel source code) and drivers for your device and making the Google source code run, pretty much without many additions..although, if you like spice, you will find it in an AOSP ROM. Asus' Stock ROM is also based on Googles source, but then Asus is not obligated to release it's proprietary source (what it adds to the OS that Google AOSP ROM did not have, bloatware, drivers, etc). Therefore what we are able to do in a ROM based on Asus' is limited compared to what can be done in an AOSP ROM. Some are stable, some aren't..it isn't a function of it being an 'AOSP' ROM lol it's just how developed or underdeveloped the ROM is. CM9 for TF101 is way more unstable than CM9 for my Epic, they are both AOSP and from the same source even, and they run differently- because they are at different stages of development and being developed by different teams of people.
Don't be so quick to scoff at AOSP ROMs..they are not all the same, and nothing in the term 'AOSP' means 'unstable' or otherwise anything to be afraid of.

Ok thank you very much for your perfect explanation. But why do you say that CM9 for TF101 is unstable? In the relative thread i read that the users are very satisfied by this rom.
Dont lol at me! hehehe
I know CM9 is AOSP.. that was the first and only AOSP Rom I ever tried..
I'm not scoffing AOSP Roms off I just didn't see the advantage but I didn't know that Asus doesn't release it's proprietary source.
Don't be so quick to lol at people apart from that it was a good reply... I might give them a go again in the future

Ok but I had read it's come with ICS 4.0.4; what are the differences you noticed between 4.0.4 and 4.0.3 ICS version?
thank you
I've heard the CM 9.0 is released. But when I go to the CM website for download, I'm disappointed, I only found the CM7.x even in nightlybuild.
HTC has released out the 4.0 for Desire S，why CM still build the 7.x?Does anyone of CM maintained the rom for Saga?
CM9.0 has not yet been released and is considered in alpha state. The reason is that devs are waiting for official HTC kernel 3.0 sources to build betas (and releases). At the moment, only workarounds have been developped to use old kernel.
Moreover, devs have already moved to CM10 (jelly-bean based builds) but still, without kernel sources, ROM is stable but not enough to be considered final.
ICS is not officially released. There is no kernel source, therefore no support (for now) for our device. We have to wait for HTC and then guys from CM could add us to supported devices.

CM9 will not have any updates.
The focus has shifted to CM10.
When kernel sources are out, and the kernel work will be done for JellyBean (CM10).
Tapatalked from a Desire S with Kernel 3 built from One V sources. Take that HTC!!!!!!
HTC haven't released ICS for the HTC Desire S, they have pushed back the ETA for the update to sometime during August. It could take a further month for them to release the Kernel source code which prevented our device from getting a stable release of CM9.
There is a petition you can sign which is trying to get HTC to release their source code a lot quicker.
The latest CM9 build by Nexx is fairly stable. I use it daily and haven't changed since first putting it on my device. It does reboot now and again and is sometimes slow at locking/unlocking but there have been no major issues and it is much better than running the stock ROM from HTC.
I don't understand why HTC release the source for newer devices, but don't for the others, the older ones.
Because newer devices are considered more important to upgrade, hence the code released soon after the upgrade...
For older phones, the code has been released but for the 2.6 kernel, not the 3.0 required by ICS and above. Currently, HTC has said that they are testing the new kernel and libraries for stable and improved user-experience... so we have to wait even if we use custom ROMs...
