Since the Infuse is Galaxy S (ish), and the S series is supposed to get ICM, do you foresee an ICM port for the Infuse?
Would it be that difficult for some of our capable devs?

Different hardware using different kernels. We don't have those kernels.
There are quite a few threads on this in the general and qa section, read up a few and u will understand.
Btw...look under ics or ice cream sandwich

I know it's kind of early, but does anyone know what developers plan on making custom ROMs/kernels baseed off of ICS for the G2x? Feel like Iam a kid waiting to find out what Iam getting for Christmas.

There are many replicas of the ICS ROM out there.

He's probably found one by now, or moved on, it looks like.
Is there any ICS port currently in development for Samsung Galaxy S II AT&T Skyrocket? Is it flashable yet? What features work/ Don't work? I saw an add for an AT&T Skyrocket claiming to run an ICS port on ebay, and was wondering if there was a functional port, since thus far, there have been no leaks from samsung for the skyrocket, meaning camera and more features may not work for a long time. If there is a rom in existence, I would be very interested. Could I have a link to the development thread? Thank you!
no
so subsequent answers to your questions revolve around NO, NOT OUT, NOTHING TO WORK ON YET
there is no ICS port yet so the ebay listing is LYING
link to development thread? dont you think if it existed, that it would be on the FRONT PAGE of the dev section? dont you think there would be 1000 people in there asking to flash it?
there is NOTHING of value for ICS yet for the skyrocket....
I'm fairly new to Android and am curious, why is it only tablets that get Honeycomb? Is there something that different with it? I know some tablets run Gingerbread and ICS is meant to sort of fuse something between tablets and phones, why isn't that firmware available to phones? Or are there phones out there running Honeycomb which I don't know about? Sorry to be a "noob" but I'm curious.

It's designed specifically for tablets. The resolution and layout is for a tablet not phone screen.

If they keep releasing phones like the Galaxy Note or bigger they might as well give it Honeycomb.
Firstly, Google intentionally built Gingerbread for phones while keep Honeycomb for tablets as the two have many differences.
Secondly, Google never release Honeycomb source codes (generic one).
Thirdly, since ICS is blending/mixing the 2 (phone/tablet - GB/HC), we phone focus on ICS and ignoring HC.
Hmm, why is this here rather than a tablet Q&A forum?

When Honeycomb was released, there weren't many powerful phones at the time that could handle all the new features it implemented, and the Gingerbread UI wasn't very appealing for the tablet interface.
Honeycomb offered more direct implementation with the hardware, such as video coding, audio routing, and 3D enhancement, whereas the phones at the time couldn't handle such features. When more powerful phones came out, Google decided it was time they combine Honeycomb and Gingerbread, and that's how Ice Cream Sandwich came about. It has all the implemented features of Honeycomb plus a UI suitable for both phones and tablets.

I don't have a tablet and don't follow any of their threads and was curious. Sorry.

Honeycomb had a lot of tablet-specific hacks that made it unsuitable to phones. That's the claimed reason Google withheld HC source - they didn't want anyone shoehorning it into phones.
ICS is the merger of Gingerbread and Honeycomb into a unified build that supports tablets and phones.
That is because Android 3.x (Honeycomb) was designed only for tablets. That is what Android Ice Cream is for. In ICS, it combined the UI ideas from Honeycomb with the size of a normal phone.

And the thread title is useless, as well.
Now that samsung has released the kernel source for Android 4.0 for the Galaxy S2, can we expect a build for the Infuse 4G?
Im looking forward to input from Dman. That may be helpful if the Infuse and S2 share similar hardware specs. That would be awesome!!
Sorry to break bubbles, thy have nothing almost in commen. Gs2 has newer specs, only the screen is the same. Unhelpful. And btw, please look around, theres a whole thread on ics i started in general, and we are gathering devs because dman is moved on, and would not build ics for the infuse anyway.

I'm interested in contributing.. but I'm new to custom ROM development. With a little help I can get started.
What we need is for someone to port the kernel from SGS (Captivate, i9000, Vibrant).... ICSSGS kernel would be a great place to start. Another option would be to use the Galaxy Tab 7.0 as a starting place.
If the kernel won't boot, hook up UART and it will tell you where the kernel stops booting.
I can't work on this myself. I am very busy on several devices.
Okay, so we all know the likes of getting ports to the Infuse are super low. As of right now, our devs stick to Samsung based roms and modding them. Which is pretty cool. I just have one quick question. What are the likes of us getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 ICS rom? It is samsung based... But would like to know if it would be possible. I'm not that intelligent in the rom making world so go easy on me plz, if this turns out to be a stupid question. Also, while I'm at it. Does anyone know any good SGS2 roms for the Infuse??
Oh good another ICS Question thread.
