Personally, I don't really pay attention to the latest and greatest version of Android when it's announced...yes, every now and then there's a major improvement or killer new feature but it doesn't matter so much what version I'm running as long as the ROM I flash does all of the cool things I want it to do.

Ice Cream Sandwich Details

I guess those of you who said/thought the Nexus S and other devices with less than a gig ram would not get ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) officially because of the rumored "Google requires you to have 1gb or more of ram to run ICS" can now put it to rest. Check out the two links below for details.
P.S. Am I the only one that dislike the blue icons/theme? I rather the green icons/theme of Gingerbread. What about you?

UOT Kitchen will undoubtedly update for ICS and with that you can make the icons any color you want.

Probably like this?
Honestly, the thing I wonder about is the "multi-tasking" button on the bottom right of the leaked home screens.. Can't we do something like that now? it should be easy, I mean the home button hold is easy unless working one handed (Like when I'm driving like a dumb ass). It'd be nice to just have a button that does that on Gingerbread.

No way this is close to what a release will look like from google. It's just a stunt to get attention to another forum. I wouldn't invest too much thought into any of it, ICS will be awesome, because it's android.... and it's new.

You are probably right on the fake.
As for ICS (besides the stupid Google Android name) would welcome having a real dual core optimized ROM on the G2X and could care less what color the theme was.
ICS for smartphones is supposed to be scheduled for the Fall. That will probably only be for new devices initially. Hopefully, after the code is released, someone will be able to port it over to the G2X.

I can't believe I'm saying this but that blue actually doesn't look bad on Andy. Come to think of it, Google might do RED, YELLOW & BLUE themes for future updates since their logo consist of blue, red, green and yellow.

I agree with you, we have enough out there to manage themeing the rom ourselves. I'm concerned less with UI features and more about hardware being tweaked and running smoothly. Though I will say, I wouldn't mind having settings and a browser similar to honeycomb... and then when they get the hardware tweaked and that stuff... then you can throw some neatness in it... a better native theme manager would be great. Give us the ability to choose past/present/future lockscreens, status bars... etc... like MIUI but native consuming less resources and what have you.

Possibly. Not sure. HTC could finally start updating their devices better, or they could lazily sit back like now.

I think this where we all as android users should set what we want as a priority before purchasing a device, its simple if we want all the latest updates then go with a nexus device simple as that and if u absolutely love sense then u buy an HTC, same with Samsung, Sony, etc. I really like HTC and they are doing there job at bringing us updates asap but there thing is sense and if its not what u like then why even bother, I myself liked sense enough to get this phone but in the end prefer stock android so that's why I will buy the next nexus phone but I don't want to diss HTC because wether its ics or the unreleased jb the damn phone still works very well in the end

Yea, for those who are eager to run the latest version of Android, get a Nexus device or unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM. If you consider what a massive modification to all layers of Android HTC Sense really is, then you'll realize that it would require way too much effort to keep all devices up to date and that's just how it is. That's the reality of the Android ecosystem, but the great thing is that you have a choice.
I think Sense is ridiculously awful and won't ever run anything that's not based on AOSP, while others may enjoy Sense and may be willing to sacrifice the latest and greatest Android specific features for it.
I'm eager to see if SE Android is implemented in 4.2 as per the rumors. Excited!
I think we will get 4.2 whit cyanogenmod

No you see Google releases versions of Android to all developers and to their Nexus line of devices. Then while this happens the other manufacturers (HTC etc) must take Android 4.2 and modify it to their requirements. This takes some time and hence updates are slower to non-Nexus devices. Android 4.1 is on its way for the One S.

That's what the thanks button is for eh When you say "Customize my ROM" do you mean going from a stock to a different ROM, or customizing an already custom ROM? For a list of custom Android 4.0 ICS or 4.1 JB ROMs check this excellent thread:

Yep. It isn't Lime Pie, don't worry. Similar to why it won't be called Kandy Kane, the spelling needs to work as well. It is Key Lime Pie.

Where is all the developement?

I have had this phone since day one.. and I love it more than life lol xD but the matter at hand... I have watched development for this phone decay.. all roms are either getting abandoned, or support is just dying out.. this isn't applying directly to just AOSP, or AOKP, either.. but touchwiz as well.. should I switch to a different device? Ima nonstop hacker, and used to build roms myself.. but since I started tattooing again, I have no free time.. any good development phones out there?

you can only do so much with the same version of touchwiz jellybean. this device will most likely not see another carrier update. aosp will be the only way future updates are brought to the device. carriers specifically do this so you keep upgrading devices. that being said, why dont you have a note 2 already?

They did announce that feature pack update, plus on release the device was given its 2GB of ram just for future support of new android versions.
My guess is it will get 4.2.1 official, but that will be the end of OTA. I have a feeling though CM and AOSP roms will be around for a while. Too many people have the US models of the GS3's, and due to the fact MOST of the code is similar between devices, it should not be hard to keep them all going as long as theres someone who cares to work on them.

you couldnt be any more wrong.
The development hasn't stop just slowed down. There are 4 new ports and some of the older roms have moved on to 4.2(mainly CM,liquid smooth and slim bean). The other roms are still being updated. There is also a new ROM based on 4.2 called Pure Google. Team Baked is working on a 4.2 based ROM.

Subways Surfers Black Screen on AOSP 4.2/4.3 Roms

So I've been trying all the new subway surfers on aosp based ROMs and it always black screens on me. There was a issue with games back in the day on aosp ROMs but was fixed, seems like nobody has a fix for this. The last version of the game to work is 1.11.0 and the game is now up to 1.15.0. Does anyone know how to fix this? Do the developers need to fix this in ROMs?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
does anyone have the game working on any 4.2 or 4.3 rom? i couldnt get either version of slim to play nice with it.
wanted to take a break from tw for a little bit but still want to play the game also...
So no one else has this issue? Really wish someone could fix this.

Wouldn't it be up to the game developer to update for more current roms? Seriously, write to the game dev, it couldn't hurt. (I'm not familiar with the game, but that's what I would try)

No, because the game works on 4.2/4.3 roms that come shipped on phones, HTC One, GS4 & Moto X. It only dont work on AOSP so means the devs that builds AOSP needs to be the ones to fix it.

I had the same problem with all the 4.3 ROM's I tried, and was a deal breaker for me. Testing out the leaked ATT 4.3 ROM and the game starts fine.
