Cyanogen released rc4

Cyanogen mod is so confusing...I haven't seen anything on 6 lately, so I guess eeryone moved on to cm7, but what exactly is cm7?
Cyanogen releases an official rc andit should work on all phones running cm? So he's like the central hub for updates? Is that why official cm support is needed?

Lol.. cm7 is based off Gingerbread, cm6 is based off Froyo..
And of course your not going to see anything off cm6. That's almost like saying now that froyo is out for the epic, devs will continue to release 2.1 roms.

Cm6 was based on Froyo 2.2
Cm7 is based on the current android build gingerbread 2.3
so you can see why we gave up on cm6...
the galaxy S lines don't really get support from cyanogen i believe...

Yeah last time I checked I don't think I seen one galaxy s under its supported device section

Yeah I know the sgs isn't supported and that's why our guys are doing it on their own, but when the epic is able to get cm7 to run on par with official cm7 and it gets officially supported by cyanogen and crew, will that mean whenever he releases an update, everyphone (epic, htc's,blah) that run cm7 will be able to run it day 1 without no problems?
This is purely a curious question

No it just means that once we have official CM acceptance Team Douche and co will work to fix any issues with our phone in future builds

What effectively CM tries to accomplish is to be more then a rom but a whole Android distribution...similar to how there are multiple linux distributions...so their goal is to have 1 single OS function across all devices...similar to how you have on a PC where you choose the OS and just install it..
Only when SGS is fully working and complaint with CM standards will it show up there.

CM8 is being rumored...Honeycomb edition

I find that extremely unlikely, there is no Honeycomb source code from which to build.

He's just following the current 'naming scheme' of cyanogen. Cm6 was froyo, cm7 is gingerbread; since honeycomb is the next update it'll follow suit and be cm8 if they move to it.

Looks like Android ICS may have leaked.

Looks like Androids next big thing Ice Cream Sandwhich may have leaked. For real this time.
Look here: Twitter.com/captainkrtek

Read through some of the tweets made by all of them. All of which are pretty reliable sources. R2doesinc is a reputable dev and captainkrtek a RootzWiki admin.

That would be fantastic!

I don't know if HTC will officially support Ice Cream for our Evo's. I just remember the issues that the devs ran into prior to the official release of GB. I hope I'm wrong because it would be great to have. I also wonder if our hardware even meets the system requirements.

ICS is designed to help end fragmentation. It should run fine on the hardware. I doubt htc will support it tho.

If this (http://androidandme.com/2011/08/news/13-things-we-might-see-with-the-release-of-android-4-0-in-q4/) is correct, any phone running 2.3 should be able to handle ICS.

Evo 4g is close to its end of life the only way we could get this is thru roms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It's interesting at least that we may start getting hints as to what lies ahead for both Android phones and tablets. I'm sure the CM folks will end up porting, so we'll likely see it on the EVO 4G at some point.
Looks like it's mostly UI changes though. Wish they'd posted a screenie of the Gmail app changes; I love the app but the look of it is plain and ugly.

I honestly doubt the Evo will get ICS, we barely got GB, and its not like that OTA was welcomed with open arms.

Very very true. But I'm sure some talented devs would love the challenge of whipping up a Rom for the evo. But only time will tell

No doubt the Devs will come through for us, but im not so sure about Sprint and HTC.

Thank god the evo still has lithid developing....otherwise most of the development would come to a screeching halt.

HTC probably won't officially support it, but I don't doubt that other developers could get it running with the sources available. Also, hope there's some hw acceleration. But no kernel version 3 yet?

Considering people have gotten 2.3 running on the G1, I think it's entirely feasible that the EVO could run ICS.
It may not be without it's problems, but I'm sure after some refining it could be perfectly usable.

Source was never released (if I remember correctly). So that's why we never saw any roms.
Sent from my rockin 3D

Honeycomb was designed for tablets and plus the source was never released to prevent more fragmentation. Icecream is supposed to bridge the gap between gingerbread and honeycomb.

Looks like it will be coming out around the holidays for the Samsung phones
This is from Gizmocrunch
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/7967-samsung-nexus-prime-android-ice-cream-sandwich
"Now what's interesting is that both Samsung devices are mentioned as getting the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, leaving the HTC built Google Nexus One out of the equation. So it looks like Samsung will have a big advantage over other Android phone manufacturers come this holidays when Ice Cream Sandwich is set to debut."

Ice cream sandwich

So according to android police, ice cream sandwich is out at least in development. The build number is IRK36B. Wonder how long till source code is out.

The Fascinate hasn't even had an official Gingerbread release let alone Gingerbread source code, and you're wondering about ICS source code? Wonder how long it's going to be before we have flying cars. Let's keep a realistic perspective on things.

I sincerely doubt we'll ever see ICS for this phone. Since the Fascinate has been discontinued from VZ we'll be extremely lucky if an official Gingerbread will ever see the light of day. They originally said the Incredible would get GB but now they'be said it won't, so I'm not holding my breath.

ICS isn't really "out at least in development". You can check in the SDK Manager yourself to see that it's not out in development. The only thing out there are some heavily edited screenshots, lacking a version number, that were leaked, and might not even be real!
Don't expect official ICS to ever come (as already been said). At best, there will still be some developers still around that pity us enough to port an ICS rom to our phone.

will I9000 get ice cream sandwhich

will we get the ice cream sandwhich update for our devices.......

For now you guys might want to try the ICS Launcher. It's currently taken down from the Market, but if you Google it you can still download it from their website for free...

Beware the ICS launcher - the one I downloaded requested permission to dial out, so I didn't take any risk and deleted it immediately.

Think so. have nothing official to base this statement on but I really think so. i'm not seeing google leaving nexus s on 2.3 without an update to ICS, even with a new phone coming up, and galaxy s has just about the same hardware.

I read somewhere that any device capable of running gingerbread would be updated to ICS

I don't see any reason they won't provide an update to ICS... after all this phone was produced merely about a year ago, and is still one of the best (despite the fact that Samsung completely messed up with the RFS file system...) .

Ive also heard that any device capable of running GB will be able to run ICS, however the only thing that may hold the phone back is the limited ram :/
I do however hope we get ICS!!!

Maybe here ?
"At Google I/O I asked the Android team if Ice Cream Sandwich had any special hardware requirements that would prevent it from running on existing smartphones. They didn’t name specific handsets, but we were told that most phones which could run Android 2.3 would be able to handle the update. That doesn’t guarantee anything for current Android smartphone owners, but we expect Google’s own Nexus One and Nexus S will be some of the first devices upgraded to Android 4.0."
source: androidandme.com
This is interesting too:
"If you are a fan of custom ROMs, then you will be happy to know that Google plans to release Ice Cream Sandwich to the Android Open Source Project. Google typically releases the source code to each version of Android a few months after it debuts on a new device, but they chose not to do this with Honeycomb. Andy Rubin said Google wanted to prevent developers from putting the software on phones “and creating a really bad user experience. We have no idea if it will even work on phones.”
Ice Cream Sandwich will be available for the development community to hack to their hearts’ content and I’m sure we will see CyanogenMod 8 a month after the source code is public."
...............And maybe that Samsung could surprise us with a ICS firmware for i9000...

I think our SGS will get ICS officialy, btw I don't think it will bring any major improvement (as happened with gingerbread).
However it would be better to be updated because some new apps probably will only work on ICS.

One big: Hardware accelerated UI (and the sgx540 still a really good gpu).
After that, i think you can say it's smoother than ever on your i9000

Why would launcher need to dial out? You have a dialer / phone apk for that, I guess.

No honeycomb?

Why no honeycomb Roms? Coming from the thunderbolt forums I was expecting a lot more action.
Not complaining, though...nice to see development going on.

Sent from my HellfireKindle using Tapatalk 2

That I understand, but much like on my Thunderbolt, ICS just isn't quite ready to roll. I'm just surprised that there isn't any Honeycomb roms out there, because I'd think they'd be better than the GB based roms, since HC is optimized for tablets.
I did install Hellfire CM7 this morning on the wife's kindle, and that works pretty well...and with an ICS theme and a little overclock, it really woke up that lil Kindle. I just have to hope that the wife finds it useful, because essentially it's her device...and of course she likes the 'simplicity of the kindle (launcher)'.

HC source was released AFTER ICS source.
No point in even considering HC roms at this point.

Gotcha. I guess that makes sense. Just figured a port from like equipment would have been an easy one. Oh well...back to waiting patiently.

they both require the same kernel. which we still don't have, yet!
