Not sure if the kernel source has even been made available to the awesome devs we have while I was considering/searching for BNL for froyo.
Has the kernel been made available and if so has anyone looked at what it would take to implement BLN?
If not, whatever, I can wait a little longer.... and if Samsung has their way.... 2 years till my contract ends.

The source likely won't be released until the update is official and pushed out

There is a post in dev section about kernel source being built for the fascinate from the i9000 source. It is alpha at the moment.
I don't see an official source being released until months after the OTA.
I did see that the i9000 alpha was release yesterday or the day before. While I don't understand all of what was said the basic principle is that there are problems with the video drivers and/or modules.
Worth a shot to ask though since I am not sure if BLN is baked in or is a loadable module?

It is baked into the kernel drivers for the touchkeys. Until SirGatez/birdman/someone get the i9000 source working, there can't really be any modifications done that require modifications to kernel source. The only other option would be Samsung releasing the source that we need, but that is likely not going to happen first, and will probably be about a month or so after the release of Froyo is official.
Well I guess that answers that. Certainly wish them the best of luck within the i9000 source. Now off to hate/bash the samsung representative fellow lurking around.

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.

Nice .... but hope we get a fully functioning CM7 for our EPIC first
Any reason for skipping CM8?

And Cyanogen decided to skip it, I think I recall reading that Honeycomb source was never released (and may not be, although I can't recall the reason that was given)

Honeycomb source is released, but wouldn't cm8 be pointless to make when cm9 will be both for tablets/phones

Honeycomb source was never released, Google didn't want further fragmentation of devices.

Their version number is CM and the number of the named version of Android. Ice cream sandwich will be the 9th version of Android.

This. They released it, but advised people "to just use ics"

Since this thread was made, i'd like to add my speculation, any of you who have deeper info are more than welcome to rectify it.
I'll start with what we all know.
CM7 (to-date) is not officially supporting our Samsung Epic 4G due to needing Gingerbread Source.
Mainly Decad3nce&JT1134, (with a few commits from Uberpenguin, Daemon & Noobnl) have brought us an unofficial version of CM7 aka a CM7 'Kang Build'
We're very close to the possibility of having CM7 official.
CM9 at the soonest, is planned to be available to officially supported Cynanogenmod phones, January 2012.
I'm not sure if bringing the Epic to 'official' CM7 means Deca and JT1134 will have the CM team to back them up, or just merit them the title of "official" but if its the latter,then the soonest we should see an official early ICS is 2 months after our epics become Official CM7, and not when the other devices get them in January 2012. This of course is just me thinking here. With all of Deca&JT's work prospering, and the future merges they'll be doing, we may just see an ICS CM9 working build like the other offical phones of CM.

If I understand correctly, Honeycomb was "released" in that at least some of the code is included with the ICS source. Google has indicated they won't release a vanilla version of the Honeycomb source because it never coalesced into a finished product.

Honeycomb by their standards wasn't a finished product. Had it been finished the way they wanted Matias and Hiroshi to go about it, ICS would have taken on a very different look than the final product we have now. Because HC would have been what ICS is.

There's also the fact that honeycomb was not MEANT to be a phone platform. Google has said from the beginning it was optimized and intended for tablets.
This is exciting news indeed. I loooovvvee CM. I installed CM7 with the Green Machine theme on a friend's Optimus V and I was oooing and aahhing as I was poking around to see what it had going for it. I tell her all the time that I'm envious of her because I did 2 things on her phone that I so far cannot on mine: Install a fully functioning and stable CM version, and get data2ext/data2sd working on my beloved Epic.
So will this speed things up a bit as far as other devices go? I know that rom itself won't work..duh

well, the release of the update not really, since it'll only allow for some more wacky ports.
however the source for the Nexus S and the Xoom was also released, (along with a version bump to 4.0.3) which might fix some things.
all in all i think the CM team is workingon it and they didnt get anything that is usefull in making ICS work for our phones, only something that made ICS more stable in genral
Here it is, hopefully this will make it easier to get ics on the 3g and 4g Xoom

Yup we know someone already release beta rom in dev section
Some ICS are coming out just a slow process.
