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

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?

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

Gingerbread curiosity

I've was one gingerbread for a while then I updated. I'm curious to what are some good roms for gingerbread?

What are you looking for in a ROM? Customization(CM7 obviously), stock with a little more oomph?(Oxygen, Bugless Beast).
Here's a list of some of them:

I've only ever tried Oxygen and Blandroid. I think the former was a little bit faster and compared to what I'm getting to ICS, battery life was phenomenal. Lol.

Oxygen. General consensus is it's probably one of the best Gingerbread ROMs for the NS.

I had Franco's kernel on it when I was using it. The stock kernel is pretty good too.
The link is for the GSM version which I'm assuming you have.

Nexbreed works fine. Download it in Rom Manager

[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.

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

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.

most stable rom.

hey all, looking to flash the most stable rom for the inspire out there! anyone wanna give me a few good stable roms?

Anything gingerbread is rock solid. ClearDroid and Virtuous Unity are my favorite for Sense and Gingerbeast and Absolution rock if you want to be senseless. The ICS roms are stable enough for daily use but might have small issues that keep them from being the right choice for you. Personally, I love Redemption but there are others that have more active development. I haz not tried jellybean but I would guess that is the same or worse when compared to ICS. You will have to try some out and see what works best for you.

Anything based on stock will be the most stable. 2.47.502.7 and 3.20.502.52. Att just released the last base with sense 3.0. I'm on blackout Ics right now and really am enjoying it. It is sense and Ics. But as always try them out and see what you like. No single rom is for everyone.

The one you find stable when you try them out. Anything else is strictly opinion and these threads are not allowed

Not necessarily, his phone is the same model, but they aren't the same exact device. Also, that isn't necessarily true, at&t's last update was completely broken and unstable. Any rom in the section was made to work with our phone and can run it just as good as an at&t built rom. Most times better.

I agree that 2.47.502.7 was buggy and I did not like it even when devs re cooked it. As for the last update 3.20.502.52 or even the original Rom they ran flawlessly. And to use roms with these bases was really all I was saying to him. Just stick to roms built off of these for the most stable experience. I've spent quite amount of time unrooted and also running every Rom you could possibly flash on this device and when I am on an actual inspire base every part of the phone runs the way it should ( with the exception of 2.47.502.7). I think we agree, I just meant roms based off stock, not necessarily stock itself.
As for what Rom to run that differs all together. I'm on an Ics sense Rom that was never intended for our device but I'm willing to live with a little instability for more options and Ics

Stable roms = Gingerbread
Small issue roms = ICS and JellyBean
Is all you need to know. We can use DHD roms on our Inspires if you want to take look at that forum as well.
You will have to test a rom out for yourself cause what may be awesome to one person may be utter crap to others its yp to your preference.

Yes I agree. Gingerbread is most stable. Some dhd base though have minor issues like agps not updating accurately, scanner apps not reading barcodes, battery drain, intermittent WiFi/data issues, Sound problems.. etc. Nothing major though. My favorite dhd base was the sense 3.0 update they got. Runs the smoothest imo. Sense 3.5 and up gets a little clunky.

As stated before, Gingerbread ROMs are generally more stable than ICS ROMs. That said, my favorite is Primo-S v3.5. Its ICS + Sense 4.0A. Its not the most stable mod out there, but extremely stable, enough t be used as a daily driver. The most stable I've tried is of course Cyanogenmod 7. Second is Android Revolution HD.

[Q] Does The Mecha Have Enough Memory To Run ICS?

Does the Mecha have enough ram to run ICS or no? I'm confused a bit because of the way it functions without the proper kernel.

AOSP ICS, definitely. Sense ICS it should. The lag from the leak and such should all be fixed by custom kernels, but as for Ram it'd be cutting it close.

Yes, I understand the official VZW release has (or will have) Sense 3.6 so no problem.
Later versions of ICS and JB have Sense 4.x and that might be a problem since I believe it requires more RAM.

Good stuff, thanks for the reply about that. I was just mainly curious because I'm still trying to understand why Verizon is acting like some scam artists and trying to make people upgrade their phones.

If my Galaxy S Epic 4G with less internal flash and DRAM can run ICS and JB I sure hope Thunderbolt with more internal flash and DRAM can do it.

I suspect VZW is having problems stuffing their usual 75 gigabytes of worthless bloat into the limited memory of the Thunderbolt....
Wouldn't it be nice if VZW and all providers would stick their bloat on an SD card and we could just remove it and throw it away when we get the phone?

Or even better yet would be if HTC would just post their finished product on one of their own sites for anybody who wanted it...before verizon suffs it full of crap. Wishful thinking but would be nice.
