What's the difference??
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

CM9 is built off of ICS.

So they the same thing?

No. ICS is Googles Android OS. CM9 is a modded version of it.

ics simply refers to android version 4.0. Cm9 is based off of android 4.0 aosp but has many added features and tweaks.
Just like cm7 is based off of android 2.3 (gingerbread) aosp.

I think his question is really what is the difference between the two. Which right now I don't think there is much. I think it's just about porting and getting everything working. Maybe there is some small optimizations done but nothing heavy. I think cyanogenmod is working on adding features as we speak and will most likely release a big beta with all of them implemented vs small amounts being added over time

Well for the g2x there isn't much difference because both builds are still broken lol. I know on my galaxy nexus there is a big difference in cm9 and ics feature wise.

Probably the coolest one in the works is the ability to root and unroot your phone via settings. The new music app is nice too. There's a lot being added every week. Its not complete or even close to being but it is looking awesome.

So I suppose this might be getting a little off topic but what is the point being able to root/unroot via settings?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I'll prob use the OTA debloated/tweaked ICS build that is going to be developed regardless

I run passion ics on my vibrant. Ics has alot of cool features. Cant wait til g2x gets it. Only reason i dont run my vibrant daily is i only get 5 hours on the dang thing. But ics is definately a better system with all the tweaks it has.

Anybody know how CM9 development is going so far for the G2x?

Anyone planning custom ICS ROMs

I see a lot of good ported ROMs for Galaxy S i9000 using the AOSP 4.0.3. Even tried them and they are very good and very few bugs.
Anyone planning to start porting some of this stuff for Infuse users?
I am currently using THIS one on my SGS but will soon be getting an unlocked Infuse and wonder if this stuff can be ported for Infuse users.

No

Would have been good to have though. Couple of these AOKP ROMs are really good. Even better IMHO than where CM9 has reached.

So what's the problem bringing ICS to the Infuse? I have a Captivate, which I didn't think was really much different from the Infuse, and I have several ICS choices currently. My wife has the Infuse and she's getting jealous that I can have ICS and she can't!

The Captivate is a much more popular device. Even though it is much older is has a larger development community. Even Samsung bothered to keep that device up to date for a while. I know somebody who got the Captivate on 2.1. Since then she got OTA updates for 2.2 and then for 2.3. Unfortunately for us Infuse owners, we are like the red-headed step brother to the SG2 so we get no love

Switch phones. She gets crappy ics and you get a great phone.

Why does everyone wants ICS so much?

Hey guys, I recently went into Verizon and played with the galaxy nexus. Its a nice phone, but what's so fantastic about ICS? I thought it was too dark, and really slow (at least the display model was). I've used sky-ics rom and I had to go back to StockMod.
So why exactly does everyone want it and ask about it? Personally I prefer touchwiz, its a lot more intuitive. The biggest difference I saw was the widgets displayed in the launched and the recent app tray thing. But its not like a game changer.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but just curious.

I think it's because everyone wants the latest and greatest. People are getting bored of Gingerbread.

Cause we can't have it. .....yet

I came to the SkyRocket from the Inspire recently and the last ROM I used on it was an ICS ROM. Chrome beta alone makes it well worth it not to mention its the latest and greatest and we can't have it!

sky-ics is still gingerbread.
the main reason i want ICS is that its a whole UI overhaul. it looks smooth and fancy. lol. i had ICS on my captivate and LOVED it. i cant wait to have ICS on my skyrocket

ICS is built for dual core.

ICS is amazing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

ICS is great. I love it on my xoom. Chrome beta is also worthwhile, much better than the stock browser. Also lots of little things make me want ICS.

I mean why not, having gingerbread is to mainstream.

Touchwiz isn't a operating system buddy but a UI overlay by Samsung. HTC has sense and so on but both companies devices can have ics

Monday is GSII. No date yet for the Blaze 4G. Do you think we will get the new touchwiz? Probably not, but that would be awesome if we are. Hopefully there's a port for it that works on our device someday.

I would hope so, seems like Samsung would push it to the GS II and cookie cutter everyone else.

Cool let me know I actually just got the s2 from a friend for 150 and no contract i couldn't pass it up lol

I just moved to one of these from a HTC Incredible I've been running ICS on since January and I have to say, it's hard to go back to GB, but the phone is just so much better and it's the only sub 4" phone that has a dual core procesor and is reasonably priced out of contract. Anyways, hoping for ICS sooner rather than later!

ICS will be out tonight for the Galaxy S 2 ...Anyone here how long it will be until the Blaze is updated to ICS?

"Samsung and T-Mobile plan to release a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G that updates the device software to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The dates for this future update are TBD, but this document will be updated when details become available."
Hope to see this updated soon!

I'm looking forward for the source to drop. Since the T989 uses the same general chipsets we do, I'm hoping the source will build and work for our phones (with a little coercion). It's amazing how little official msm8660 stuff there is out there.
I swear, finding source, info, etc on this stupid little phone has been a labor of love, and I run into dead ends everywhere I go :-(

[Q] Will Skyrocket be able to use the official T-Mobile SGS II ICS update? [Solved]

Noticed that the T-Mobile SGS II is getting it's ICS update today. Considering both the phones are pretty much the same inside, can the T-Mobile ICS rom be able to be ported to our device the Skyrocket?

I'm sure the answer is yes.

Hope it's not really 4.0.3, given our last leak was 4.0.4.

Yeah. I saw that too. But once we have kernel source all SHOULD be well.

But an official 4.0.3 with all features working will do until our official 4.0.4 is released. At least for me.

I've been on a home brew UCLE2 based rom since it dropped and have been pretty happy with it. Only wish battery life was a bit better, but power save mode seems to make a big difference with that.

Its touchwiz. Don't know why everyone is hyped other than the kernel source being available.

Wouldn't it be amazing if AT&T blessed our ICS with TW UX? That would do some serious brand strengthening. Too bad it is very unlikely.

Were either of you expecting something else? If you thought it was going to be stock ICS then you're either on the wrong board or purchased the wrong phone.
It gets really old reading all of this whining about Touchwiz. This is the SKYROCKET forums. It comes with Touchwiz, always has and always will. Frankly if you two hate it so much why in the world did either of you purchase this phone?
Some of us are quite happy with Touchwiz and are excited to finally be seeing a complete and fully functioning ICS rom that could run on our phones.

First off I knew it would have touchwiz I'm not an idiot don't treat me like one. You have your oppinion and I have mine the only exciting thing for me is source the rest of it for me is just an update
Edit: and btw we have aosp roms which means I can like this phone and hate tw

Oh man u guys well he's right it is touchwizz and the kernel source can change alot of thing$ underclock and new custom kernel the II can change to aosp and the 4.0.3 is compatible. With 4.0.4

So even though you knew it had Touchwiz you purchased the phone anyway. That's great. Now we all know how much you hate it. Thanks for sharing this completely unneeded opinion.
I would like to ask, what exactly does this opinion have to do with the topic of this thread? As frankly it appears as if you just wanted to inject your negativity for no reason other than to rain on the parade of those that are excited about the update and are happy with their purchase of a Touchwiz skinned device.

For the sake of not creating a high school drama here which you clearly want.
