Never. The devs have gotten together and made a pack to never release an ICS rom.

First, learn to type. Second, "c" isn't a word it is a letter. If you cannot form a cogent question or sentence then I'm not sure why you are here nor how you figured out how to get dressed in the morning, presuming you did.
Lastly, there will be an ICS based ROM when there is a bloody ICS ROM and not one minute sooner.

oKAY.. soo ICS gets released.. ASUS a multinational corporation that is on top of releases hasn't put out an update. Neither has Motorola.. HTC.. LG.. ACER.. or anyone else that I'm leaving out. And you are being a baby about people (who largely tweak and create on their own) that develop for our TF for free and just because they enjoy doing it?
Uuuumm.. cheer mate!

If your going to pass judgement then you better be naming everyone. There seems to be a list of people in the thread who aren't prepared to have endless ETA questions asked that 1. can't be answered and 2. I promise will make the devs not speed up.
Its pointless and should be ridiculed at every opportunity.

i really think XDA needs a +1 feature
The source will only make ics for galaxy nexus. When our hardware comes on the git then we will build. But chances are by that time Asus will release it themselves. What is this pact about?

I hate to tell you but ICS is already running on several TFs. A few things don't work and without those it won't be released. (Wifi is one) While it is likely that they may need some hardware sources don't assume they don't have other ways

I'm glad you know that "c" is slang. If you're going to speak and write like an ignorant fool of questionable upbringing you should hardly be surprised when you're treated like one.
I'm angry that people ask these dumb questions and then act like jerks to those who respond, because it means that there is a greater chance that the devs are going to systematically hold back a release of ICS ROMs just to get back at the douche-nozzles who start these threads. That means that for every one of these threads, I have to wait extra time for a release.

Hey guys as many of us are aware, us relying on carriers and handset manufacturers to release os updates is almost pointless. There are many other devices that are ics capable yet won't be upgraded do to carriers and phone manufacturers. What the sgs2 community did was request drivers from qualcomm and they provided. I think with enough community support nvidia will as well. We are one driver away from complete ics goodness, no more crashes or bugs. I searched Google and saw that this community has already contacted nvidia here: http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/devforum/discussion/1726/tegra-2-source-code/p1 and here: http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/devforum/discussion/comment/3236?Sort=popular
So let's group together and work as a team to convince nvidia they will be doing a great service to our community, it will only strengthen their presence in the android community by doing so.
Any developers here have suggestions on persuading nvidia to support us and have them notice us? I think their dev forum is a good start, also social media may help. I wonder how many g2x owners are still out there?
lets make our voices heard and finish what we started.
Ya we tried, search around.

Their revunue in 2010 is like 3.2billion..
I don't think our million $ of phone on XDA even matter to nVidia.
Nvidia doesnt give a ****... they never release binaries for their video cards or other hardware either regardless of countless requests...

Lol didn't even realize that.
Anyways I tried as well way back when asking for drivers for the gTablet as well, Nvidia doesn't care. Hence why I'm going Samsung for phones, and ATI/AMD for graphics on the PC next time.

Quick edit, did anyone else notice the guy saying that Nvidia is trying to release the binaries for Tegra 2 Dual Cores in 2012? He posted this in November 2011:
Hello Android Development Community
We appreciate all the interest and passion surrounding the NVIDIA Tegra Platform and we take our support for the development community seriously. NVIDIA has been working with Google and Motorola to provide the open source community with the required drivers and other binary code to build full Android OS images for the Tegra 2 powered "Motorola Xoom". We expect Google to make those components available as part of the Android Open Source Project soon.
In addition, NVIDIA is working on a full release of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for our Tegra 2 Dual Core and Tegra 3 Quad Core reference devices to be made available early next year. This release package will comprise of binary code, drivers developed on our reference platforms and any patches necessary to ensure stability & performance with ICS. We hope the open source community can leverage this release for their work on all Tegra devices.

But I'm a little confused, why, then, is everyone worried about receiving these binaries? Or am I not reading this correctly?
Sorry for my ignorance, I do not know much about the driver development with regards to linux/android/ICS, going to google this a bit now.

The same issue has been beaten to death on XDA and elsewhere. I am pissed-off that those who newly raise this issue haven't done their homework, they just ignorantly post what has already been dealt with and are using up/wasting bandwidth and storage. The same for others who ask without researching/looking first to determine if the answer to their question exists before they ask. I've stopped answering questions which have been answered many times already. That may be perceived by some as arrogant/harsh/mean/etc. but that's OK, they can keep answering the same questions over and over and over and over and over... again.

Pretty sure that the S4's IR blaster is just that. It blasts it doesnt receive which means it cant learn unless its codes downloaded from the Internet.
It sends signals but it cant receive signals.
OMG are you sure? because HTC Ones can learn from original remote controllers...if so what a shame...

Hello to all,
I am here today to ask you why the Samsung does not release the source code, have been released for the Galaxy SIII Mini which has the same processor Novator U8500 and why but we do not have anything yet, maybe it will be a topic a bit useless but if you know why do not hesitate to write
Edit. The source code are here: Source Code for GT-I9070 and GT-I9070P
I think they know about that... and I presume these are not the sources they are looking for..
Nice, but I think that devs has knowledge about this... I think that those drivers are not enough for some issues in CM-based ROMs.
They'd have probably know this before hand

Those are the kernel sources not the cpu sources. Novathor is from st ericsson and not from samsung. Samsung must relase the kernel sources because android is open source but ste is free to relase or not their cpu sources

Not to mention, the galaxy s3 mini has a novathor, but of a different series. Not U8500.

Let's Spam OSRC TEAM / Request for New Kernel Source Code for Galaxy S Advance device
Looks like we do not need a special thread to make a request the source code of the kernel, to TIM OSRC samsung, because there is already a thread that has been recommended by the engine of this forum when I was trying to make a new thread. Perhaps you can do to participate as well. Here ....!!!
And also you can report the latest results of our efforts in this thread too, I guess. Hopefully it can become a reality.
Regards.
It's a great idea to spam Sammy in request for the newest sources...sinces they have had the chance to update the kernel recently (compiled in January, released in Jule almost August?? sounds fishy...) They maybe know something we don't...maybe theres official kitkat after all...hell maybe theres Android L at the end of the tunnel, yeah i'm specula...i'm fantasizing...but i don't really see why suddenly update a device that is EOL since 4.1.2, 2 years ago.
We have the sources the user from china uploaded here on new year's eve but i thing no one has used them...or has used them to rewrite their own from scratch....so maybe new sources directly from samsung is both legally and perfomance wise for our phone.
Novafusion guys (maclaw) started spam sammy with an "example" message, and apparently it worked...i don't know if they have something new but they got a letter from sammy saying they would update sources.
I think the best way would be that...create a message that we just C&P spammin Sammy OSRC till they release something, but then again, just my 2 cents.

I am aware of that also, problem is, who can we ask for sources...best case scenario Sammy releases their ST sources, but theres the legal barrier that altough neither Ericcson nor STMicroelectronics are taking liability of both the sources and the R&D invested, Novathor and all things related are now a STMicroelectronics product...and they are having a hard time.
From my PPOV, STM is gonna keed everything closed, use it later to make a new plataform (i think theyre with NEC now or some Chinese subsidiary in a joint venture), i really don't know if after a time of not using the plataform or by being cancelled they have to legally open their sources...or if theres a "expiration date" on them.
Since Sammy uses Novathor in 3 or 4 phones and Sony used it in almost all their phones in 2012(?) we are left with whats being already used.
I don't have any knowledge about the content of the leaked sources from the Xperia forum that the guy from China uploaded but i thought for a while they were just as good as our devs had already built isn't?

Not sure that STMicroelectronics cares much about Android anymore, other competitors didn't won anything from competing against Qualcomm and Samsung (with the Exynos), because they haven't done any major advances in performance or power consumption, also, Google strongly favors Qualcomm CPUs, they even use them on their Nexus devices for the most part (except Nexus 7 I think, because it uses NVIDIA Tegra, if I remember correctly), hope you remember Texas Instruments, big player, choosed to part ways with Android and most of their ARM stuff.
I wrote this on the other thread requesting kernel source. Unless Samsung has the igloo 3.4 kernel converted/hacked to work on janice (which was a rumor when we heard that was preparing a 4.2/4.3 OTA) hidden somewhere in Korea and they release that, not sure anything they could release would made a major impact on performance or battery duration.
What we are missing? Hm, a proper RIL (that is not the one I made, but should work with most Samsung libril.so's), and maybe some access to the Samsung Secondary bootloader (they won't release that even if they were drunk and on drugs)

So does this means a new kernal can be compiled for our device just like S3 mini???
But what kind of kernel does s3 mini have?! Isn't it just a 3.0.x kernel built from Samsung sources??
It will be merged with CM11 Sourch like what said by frapeti

Guys, before I answer your questions and refer to those concerned about the (current) of course. There are some things we have to think about it together. namely:
1. Our developers for now almost many are turning to other devices. It was miserable.
2 Only a few people (or more) that has a device janice from the developers had in this forum.
3 For this moment (maybe) we will still get a ROM update for Janice (Either Codina), but it was developed without a device (Surely "Janice experiment") is supposed by the developer. This is ironic. You can imagine how a carpenter make a house without equipment repairman? It was impossible guys!.
4 Related to your question above, then that should answer that, perhaps @Rox or @Paul L.
5. Honestly I will feel less excited again for a peek every thread of this forum, immediately after hearing the news that uncomfortable. Sorry for that. :angel:
Oh, yes, don't forget to always hope for the good of Janice. Because I've always believed in the magic of his.

Not sure if this was posted previously, please share. Coming from the same folks that developed a keyboard mod for the Moto z phones
Sincerely hope the device is successful
Based on my past devices, you can tell I had a great love for QWERTYs, just want to spread the word to fellow QWERTY lovers
I feel like there's a small, but committed group out there that never wanted to give up on QWERTY phones, but all of us were forced away from that choice because no one wanted to build a new phone for various reasons (cost, durability, design, market, etc.)
If this device goes well enough, hopefully it will spark a comeback of the physical keyboard

That thing looks enormous. I don't think it's desgined to be used like conventional qwerty sliders with you thumbs. The keyboard is too big for that. And I also don't think it's big enough to use comfortably woth 2 hands. Only my opinion but the device I posted seems much easier to use

I don't see any measurements, on the site you linked, to compare to.

I believe he owns the company or works there. Check out all the pics of device development. Hopefully it gives you a better idea of size. Regarding the device you posted, it doesn't look like the main screen is designed to be used vertically like a regular phone. I'm sure the gemini PDA is a great device, but I don't think it's phone the way people would want to use it.
Also a slide mechanism is probably easier to use than a flip mechanism. Thanks for sharing, I was actually surprised how much backing they got through crowdfunding
Just wanted to post some more info, here's the newsletters they've been sending out over the past few weeks. Gives some detail into device design
