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...

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...
ICS SDK is now available. Wish someone would do a dump and port it to DS

@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.

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.
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.

Because to have official support it has to be out of Alpha/Beta stage. In other words it has to be completely stable on hardware level (kernel and proprietary binaries) before it can be included in the main repo and build with only CM not device changes. CM devs will not bother to fix device stuff, only OS related. So if you are reading the CM10 threads you will know that we are far from that still. It may be working but not for all (example the hitachi panel users). Until this is fixed - no official support.

thanks for the explanation dude
appreciate it. now i understand
i always thought the cm guys do the work them selves to get everythign working correctly.guess i was wrong
so our devs have to get it stable first.then they add it
CM-10 stable has been released on Nov 15. Why are there still nightly roms coming out these days? Shouldn't they work on cm-10.1 now?
Because there's always room for improvements, no software is perfect and somebody would stick to 4.1 instead of pushing his/her device too much with 4.2

It could also be that these updates are leading into the 10.1 builds .... and also there is always something that needs getting fixed

Because stable != final. Misconception a lot of people seem to have.
