Why when I upgraded to android 4 is there now two android systems and why is there duplicates of some of the apps I would have thought it would have got rid of the old apps for gingerbread but it's kept a majority of them and the gingerbread is still there but covered under ics it's weird what's the reason for this

ICS stock was a mistake that's why it wasn't rolled out as ota.
The only workaround is to flash a custom rom or downgrade.

Here is what I am wondering is it possible for a flashed phone with the MikMik rom on it to be flashed to 2.3 gingerbread. I recently purchased this phone with MikMik on it and want to go to 2.3 Gingerbread. Any help would be appreciated.
What version of the rom are you running? The current versions (MikShifted-G at least) are a GB rom (2.3.3)
Yeah mostly all our roms are Gingerbread base. If you look at the software information under settings it will tell you what Android version you are on

You can run the RUU to go back to stock gingerbread but you will lose all root access or there are stock gingerbread roms with root access on the second or third page of the development section. I would link you to it but I'm on my phone

Shifted to the extreme, cause I rawk Supreme
Now that ICS is officially out, which android version you use with your nexus s device ?
i got ICS stock, with stock kernel...running fine, not like ginger but good enough for daily use
Manually upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 from GB 2.3.6 . Only battery issue so far and another thing, there is a strange lag when pressing call button from contacts app - sometimes it takes up to 7-8 seconds before call starts.
Nexus S (I9023) ICS 4.0.3 (CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 18 + Matr1x v13)
I'm using Stock ICS 4.0.3 and Stock Kernel... don't really like custom rooms filled with stuff i don't use and custom launchers that most of the times get laggy ...
In the future i might change to MIUI 4.
ICS 4.0.3 completely stock and unrooted.
A little laggy at times and battery life isn't quite as good as it was with GB but, browser aside which is ****, reasonably happy with it.

No official ICS for NS4G, so back and fourth between oICS and cm7 nightly.

Considering the Nexus S shipped with Gingerbread... that's quite a feat.
not official OTA for my 9020a, but running near stock with kustom kream rom. love it. runs pretty smooth for me
Running on stock ICS with eugene373's Kernel 3.x
Stock ICS 4.0.3, GlaDOS v2.5 ;-)
Stock GB 2.3.6 !!
Sph33r 4.0.3 with GLaDOS 2.5 kernel.
Oh so no one uses Froyo on their Nexus S?
Stock ICS, Stock kernel.
Actually reading negative reviews about ICS surprising me, on my device it is very smooth no lags at all, battery life is excellent it is lasting for 19 hours at least with normal use and 3g is always on.
my device is I9020T.

Stock, rooted 2.3.7
Every ICS ROM I've tried has problems. Either crashes, battery life issues, or other annoyances that drive me insane enough to not want to use ICS yet.
Right now I'm in Android heaven with 2.3.7 and ADW EX. Always smooth as butter and ZERO problems.

Stock 4.0.3 unrooted.
I am extremely happy with ICS and have not had any problems with it. Don't think I would ever go back to gingerbread.
When the OTA update for ICS drops, will there be a way to root and S-OFF with Revolutionary like there is for Gingerbread? Or will flashing the currently available firmwares be necessary? I'm not sure how the update process will work, as far as these things. I guess my question is: How would I root and S-OFF when ICS drops for Sensation 4g users? Thanks in advance.
Prob not right away.
Remember if you do choose to recieve the stock ics ota that you need to flash the stock recovery or you will end with a brick. Someone please correct me if i am wrong.
But with upgraded FW 3.30 and roms such as virtuous and ARHD ICS theres really no need to update to the official ics. I do understand if you want the official ics though.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I've been trying to decide whether to go back to full stock (S-ON, etc.) and go the OTA way or just do it with the user-friendly firmwares, but I'm pretty hesitant to do the latter because of the chance of bricking. How likely is the chance of a mistake somehow being made, even if the appropriate steps are taken? I mean, I've seen all these threads with people seemingly doing it right but still ending up with bootloops, so I'm quite apprehensive about the whole thing.
Edit: Also, is the final ICS firmware backwards compatible with Gingerbread ROMs, by any chance?
Na. Ics has to run on 3.24 fw and up

You shouldn't end up with a brick if you don't have the stock recovery. I had the real stock experience Rom android 2.3.3 and when I did the software search it found the android 2.3.4 update. I downloaded it but all it says is you have made modifications to your phone...the update won't work.
Also. There is currently NO information whatsoever if revolutionary will update, and if it will support the sensation at all. If it did though I could fix my phone. Personally I'd go for the newest arhd although I can't. It's better than the official will be, I'm guessing that after a week or two sense will start to crash again. No matter what HTC have said.
I did the same as Sensation Lover. Coming from a stock 2.3.4, S-OFF and rooted. After the update completed it just stuck at the HTC splash screen upon reboot.
I just ended up reflashing the 1.50 TMO RUU and then did the update. I was S-OFF before the update via HTC Dev and that stayed.
If you are soff dont go back to son for the update. Like others have already said. You can flash the stock recovery then just use ota with soff. If you decide you want to root it'll be pretty simple

ICS is better than GB but it will be a bit slower. Try Reaper custom rom

I updated to the 4.0.4 ruu and I wasn't too impressed by sense 3.6. I have been trying to find ways to get back to gingerbread but I can't find any.
why not go directly to jellybean?

There isn't a huge amount of difference between the two os's but I found the new UI actually worse than before and a little bit slower. However you do get a bunch of new features like face unlock and more. It's a difficult one but I think ICS just about wins as it is a little nicer and more fun to use.
Hey guys,
I have the latest official OTA Update for my HTC One S on Bell.
Version 1.84.666.9
Sense 4.0 instead of 4.1 tmobile version
Android 4.0.3
I do not have the possibility to change the Recent apps button.
I would like to stay on stock rom just to avoid flashing rom updates and deal with glitches.
Should I just wait it out for jellybean or should I change my CID to something else?
Help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Are you rooted? There are mods that you can flash on the stock ROM that will remap the recent apps button. Look here. Otherwise there is no way to natively remap the buttons without sense 4.1.
Thanks!
Will I still get the possibility to update or not? To jelly bean or what not..
