Where's the nexus s ics alpha? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How is there no alpha yet for the nexus s/nexus s 4g? It seems like everyone's getting it before us. The evo 4g just got it.

Uh wut? Nexus ICS alphas have been floating around for weeks.
The evo is always going to have more roms available at any given time, since there's a ton of devs working on that phone... And more options because of Sense.

First of all the things we have are sdk ports so they don't count. Second I would rather have a rom with half busted stuff than nothing like we do now. Wahh it sucks.

I don't think that someone has a decent working ICS right now.
But come on, don't start a ton of new threads just to aks why there's no ics. I know it's exciting but after all it's just ICS xD
And it's just a max. of 1 month waiting time 'till the ota gets out. I would go so far to say that no one of us will die from waiting

Max one month is a huge overstatement. It will be a miracle on xda street if we get an ota in a month. Mark my words.

I don't know. I just went over to the Evo forum to see what was going on, and they were struggling just to get the sdk port to work.

ICS Build from source. May not be perfect but something to flash. Think primarily for I9020T, use at own risk. Don't know if someones shared this already but sorry if someone did.

Soon To Be MyTouch 4G Owner: Where Should I Start The Hacking

I will be receiving my new mytouch 4g this thurs. I have been bouncing around with different phones in the past two months. My last three phones were the G2, Nexus S, and most recently the Inspire.
What can I expect coming to this side? What are the most sought after roms kernels? The phone im getting is already rooted with s off and all that so I guess the easy part is done :+}

Didn't see that you were already rooted! In that case, TeamRoyal and Faux pretty much own the MT4G dev section. So anything from them is good, and of course the good ol CM7.

CM7 > all other ROMs.
RoyalMint is my daily driver since it came out. Team Royal specifically Option94 has been really working hard on it. Not saying they dont work hard on any other of their ROMs.

To answer you unsarcastically, no you cannot. Verizon will not activate a phone that is not theirs. If you're looking for a stock Android experience on Verizon, check out the Xperia Play, and if you're looking for a 4-inch smartphone, check out the HTC Incredible 2.
Incredible 2 is locked down. I don't think anyone has even rooted it yet. Thunderbolt has a decent CM7 alpha, but isn't a good phone. OG incredible is a great phone but very small. Bionic should be dropping shortly, it will also most likely be locked. Oh, there's always the Samsung Charge

Have you seen what theyve done with blur in the GB builds on the X? very cool now, even for blur I think if the X hadnt been locked and we colud get aosp on it, it would have gone down as a legend. It would still be relevant in another year or 2.

Yeah I played with it and actually ported a version of the GingerBlur UI theme to the Fascinate. Its an improvement no doubt. Hardware wise like I mentioned earlier moto is solid. Its actually still got some good specs (the DX2 refresh would have been a monster with an LTE radio). I agree aosp would have been a beast on it. CVPCS is still working on CM for it...the

I like Sense, it doesn't give me bad performance, and it looks nice.
Please go somewhere else where people want to hear your bull****.
A sense ROM would probably be a refreshing change from the currently overloaded AOSP based ROMs (not complaining).
Mainly one that's based on sense 3.0. I've seen sense 3.0 ROMs in the desire forums and they look really good. It would be nice to see one for the Nexus.

Ok well I came from an E3D to get a nexus sense 3.0 isn't all its cracked up to be its just ok... a couple visual enhancements and it runs a little smoother than sense 2.1 stick with aosp or Miui it brings much more to the table

not saying it isnt. i love my nexus s. im glad i chose this over the arc. i was origanally going to get the arc on contract but then found out they has the nexus s in stock and asked for this one. i een chose this over the galaxy s2 as this is part owend by google and we should be the first to get the update if i am right. but still to trade the E3D for a nexus s is to me a little bit silly if you ask me. the E3D is an amazing phone and HTC are very good at making a fast reliable deice. Same as Samsung and LG.

Why is there such a lack of roms

I have an evo and my ns4g and I'm just curious as to why there is such a lack of roms for nexus s 4g. There's tons of roms for evo but very few for ns4g. Dev support Is great quick to fix issues but little variety. Or is there somewhere I'm not looking because I've searched endlessly here and on Google and androidforum but I only find a couple of roms

People who make ROMs for other phones generally want an AOSP experience, which we as Nexus owners have out of the box.
What are you looking for in a ROM that your not finding exactly?

SK4G is unsupported both by devs and Samsung. Aren't you guys still stuck with Froyo or something? Either way even if you get GB you'll never see anything past GB unless you get CM9, which is highly unlikely.
MT4G has awesome Sense ROM's, a solid MIUI ROM, and a very stable CM7 ROM with CM9 looking within weeks.

I actually traded my sk4g for a Mytouch and its completely with it. Yes a keyboard its nice but there's no development, and the Mytouch has a bigger screen and typing/swyping is a lot easier that on the sidekick screen.

Getting a Mytouch 4G for a Sidekick 4G is like getting an Audi for Kia (I don't specifically have anything against Kia, but I doubt anyone will argue that a Kia is a better car than an Audi). Don't ask questions. TRADE! Trade and run before your friend realizes their mistake.
I played with a Sidekick 4G for a few minutes and it was a joke. Minus a physical keyboard a Mytouch 4G is better in every way.
