via CyanogenMod definitely. If you're expecting an official release by HTC I wouldn't hold your breath as we have yet to get the 2.3.3 sense kernel source.

more "ice cream sandwich" spotlight!!!
ICE CREAM

Just read the interview w/Andy Rubin. They said they'd open source ICS "a couple weeks" after the Galaxy Nexus's release =)

HTC has said they are looking at ICS and will determine what they will do, because most of the features that make sense great has now been added to ICS. Could be they don't update any of their old phones, and they come up with something totally new for all of their new phones going forward. If they would put sense as it is now, they would cover up a lot of the new great features of ICS. Just a thought.

I can't find anything regarding a version of CM8. I also can't find any CM versions of honeycomb. I have found CM7 with some honeycomb elements, however. Did Google ever release Honeycomb source into AOSP? That is the only place CM goes to build their roms.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know CM was going to skip a number, since the HC source was never released.
Edit: The link says "don't be surprised if they skip a number..."

Eh, weak wording. Try this:

"We’ll be following up with a few minor releases and soon it will be time to start work on CM9!"

Anyone wanna place bets on whether Samsung is going to support our phone any further?

If the kernel doesn't require any updated version, then couldn't we be able to port ICS?

Lol.. I was wondering when we are going to see this thread.
I don't need ICS. By next year, we all are going to be upgrade eligible.
By then ICS will be more polished.
As always, Google tends to dish out half-baked stuff. I expect lots of updates for ICS to settle.

Could we get CM8, whe that becomes available, now that we have GB source, and don't have to worry about other sources cming out?

If that's the case, then I'm almost positive we could get a port of ICS. I don't really care if it's official.
Then again, it's hard to be optimistic in the Epic 4G world.

Google has released ICS SDK.

There's no kernel or any rom for that matter that is used for ICS though.

Seeking devs for work on ICS port

Now that cm7 seems close, which means a working AOSP kernel seems closer, any devs wanna work with me to try to port ICS?

All the "real" dev's aren't gonna go anything until ics source comes out. Noone wants ics...because as soon as ics is ported, people are gonna whine about not having cm9.

At the rate our cm7 is going we might actually be part of the cm9 release. Of course this is wishful thinking

We should work more on getting CM7 support official.
ICS is supposed to be similar to Gingerbread API, so if it's official then support should be adopted with the move to CM9.

No I do too. It's just to early right now. Why port an unreleased sdk version of android? And then have all that man power down the drain when cm9 comes out.

^ this. You've got to look beyond. I totally agree here, we're so close with Deca's work on CM7 Kang to have it official, that the resources available to us should be embraced. Once Gingerbread is available, getting CM7 official should be everyone's goal, that is, if you want a fully working ICS rom for our epic in the future, and not a half-assed ICS SDK Port. Yeah, the Nexus SDK Port is a super-nice preview of ICS, but really, they already have official GB, so the port from ICS was much more realistic for them. Not to mention their port didn't have to worry about the Touchwiz Framework or whatever. Anyway, not to be a downer, if you guys round people up, then go for it, best of luck. Just know that if you prioritize what's much more important right now, it will lead to what you want in the end anyway.

Almost there for MIUI. Same goes for CM7. I'll probably finish MIUI by Thanksgiving. Me and bxfxf are working on ICS though too.

Well that's really good to hear. CM7 development should be almost done by now...I'm kind of shocked that we haven't had video recording and video playback fully working after 3 weeks of having source.
Maybe I'm just impatient, or maybe it's because we don't have that many devs working on cm7 to begin with. Either way I just hope the Epic will keep getting worked on...

Anyone that wants to help on the port, the fascinate dev pmed me his port so if you pm me, I can send it to you. Also to people that think this is a waste, we can probl use this rom with ics kernel when we get that

I have had my Epic for a Year now...always enjoyed using the Roms, Kernals and fixes the devs here come out with. If I can be any help bringing ICS to the Epic I will gladdly help.

I'm a programmer, but I've never done anything for android.
I'd like to help someone with something, if ppl think another hand on deck would offset having to show me how to do...pretty much everything first.

Someone got ICS on another Tegra2 device

Some developer got Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Hannspree Hannspad, a device I've never heard of before but looking it up, it has tegra 2. From my understanding the lack of Tegra 2 support was the major roadblock for the Atrix, so perhaps this could help?

Correction: check Turl's github, he created a new branch for ICS a while back. I can't elaborate on this any further since I'm not fluent in any type of code, but it's pretty clear from the keywords in his history that work is being done on 4.0.

Yep Turl's did have something useful there: https://github.com/turl/kernel-moto-atrix4g/commits/CM_kernel_ics
looks like he's working on a kernel.

i just read on Engadget that Motorola Defy is getting ICS ASOP, and that phone is way underpower than Atrix, so my guess is Atrix should definitely get update soon (not from Motorola, of course, rather from our beloved dev team)

I can here by say ics is working fine on a tegra device. As this comment is being typed from my acer iconia a500 running ics one of our devs has been working on it. He has both 2d and 3d hw accerleration working and omg is it amazing. This thing is so so so so fast. Cant wait for it on the atrix. If anyone has any questions ill answer to the best of my ability

Tegra2 ICS
Well, I for one would like to know where I can sync the tegra2 drivers from..

Good news from the LG camp. They are updating their Optimus 2X to ICS so even if Motorola doesn't update the Atrix, the drivers for Tegra will be available through the LG's ROM.
Let's hope we get the chance of having ICS on this fantastic ROM.
Cheers

Only thing holding up development is the lack of dev's. Nothing else. The few we have that work together did great with CM7, so maybe they can too get ICS going for us.

As far as I know there hasn't been official confirmation by Acer to the public yet but yes, several "blogs" have claimed that Acer has confirmed to them that the A500 will get Jelly Bean eventually. Personally I don't see why it wouldn't unless they EOLed the A500 and even then it'd really be a burn for them not. Take it as a grain of salt until you see Acer throw something up on Facebook though....which they may or may not do since they've gotten crap every time they promised an update (and it came later than promised).

Acer South Africa replied to my email saying that the A500 will be getting Jelly Bean but they don't know when.

If JB is anything like ICS 4.0.3, then no thanks.

Best part about a500 receiving JB is possibility of XDA developers like Civato getting their hands on source code and tweaking it. If you haven't tried out his ICS Stryker ROM then flash it to see true potential of a500 hardware. I've been switching between that and CM10 JB ROM which is also very stable now. JB has serious potential especially once you include a kernel from ezterry or linuxsociety.
