Anybody watch the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich? I did, mainly to see what ICS was bringing to the table.....I'd be lying if said I found anything about it groundbreaking or innovating. Mostly minor changes, nothing to really write home about. I do like the look of it though, can't wait to get a device that utilizes it.
I missed the show can u tell me what happend?

They just announced the arrival of Ice Cream Sandwich and that Samsung phone. Nothing really groundbreaking here but the interface looks very nice, has a classy feel to it and some much need functionality now built in, like data usage and an updated "contacts" app that now lists said contacts recent updates from linked social networking sites. It's also got "face unlock", a feature that uses the camera and it's face recognition software to unlock your phone.

I do too, I was just hoping for something more innovative and groundbreaking. I think I'd get a GSII before the Nexus Galaxy now, it's got a better GPU. I can't believe after all this hype and buildup that they would come out with a device that is seeming a step back from the recent GSII as far as cpu and gpu are concerned. I don't get it.

Official promo video Galaxy nexus and android 4.0:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_ke3rxopc&feature=player_embedded
From Engadget:
Okay, so we've already seen Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Nexus S, but that was decidedly... unofficial. We've just heard straight from Google's Gabe Cohen that the Nexus S will definitely be getting ICS. In fact, both he and Matias Duarte think most Gingerbread devices will see an upgrade, saying: "Currently in the process for releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S. Theoretically should work for any 2.3 device." It's hardly a surprise and there's no specific word on timing just yet, but hopefully it won't take long to move that vanilla Android device up to something with a breaded exterior.
According to ciwrl on the cm forums it usually takes 3 months from when the code drops for a release. Now we are officially supported by cm we will hopefully get it on our x10s!
---[ removed ]---
I see our devs are attempting a sdk port of ICS...

Hopefully they can work their magic with ICS
aZuZu will be back!!
He is getting a used x10!
So more hopes...
Now when Z is done with his overseas business, we will have a full force X10 dev community again
I can't wait for ICS!

More on ICS, sony says maybe in march
http://mashable.com/2011/11/28/ice-cream-sandwich-lg-sony-ericsson/
I expected in Feb.But am sure our Devs will get ICS sooner
unofficial we will get ICS in weeks, maybe days. Look at the arc section. CM9 by freeXperia is alredy in work and onece GSM works it will be availeble for all 2011 Xperias and the X10.
What I really want to know is not when it comes out. What I really want to know is if it'll be worth the upgrade. Will it be as fast as gingerbread? Will we keep the battery life we have now? App compatibility?

So, you piqued my interest, and I went and started searching for ICS features and stuff. Anyway, what are the main differences we'll be seeing on our transformers? It sounds like this update is more important for phones because a lot of features sound Honeycomb-esque (except for the swipe on the multi-task roulette to kill apps, that sounds awesome).

There are so many changes this update is from the ground up in comparison to honeycomb
Think of honeycomb as the brainstorm and testing ideas and ice cream sandwich as the finished product
Framework changes UI changes memory management changes face detection improved multi tasking etc etc theres to much to list but its huge!!!!
What dog testing means is that google employees are now using a OTA of ice cream sandwich a mock up public release so to speak they say its a alpha but really its a late beta if they are sticking to there schedule plus why would they OTA a very ruff build no point so it has to be late stages or theres no point testing it on a specific device right?
Id say if they are doing this its a sign of fine tunning and getting out real world issues and bugs
Have i read but im hopefull for late december

Ice Cream Sandwich is nowhere near the finished product. Matias (Duarte) says this is just the start of what he wants to do with Android.

Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS seem to be the start of something good
Android is still a baby in OS terms, Windows is an Old boy now but Windows 7 was the first decent OS since .... maybe 2000 or XP if you like that kind of thing
Computers are only just becoming powerful and affordable if you look at even 5 years ago
In the next 10 years we will see magic happen, in 20 years we will be laughing at the things we call cutting edge today and I am planning on being here in another 40 years time, just imagine...
You guys know that ICS is fully out on the Galaxy Nexus, which is already released in Europe, right?

While I have no argument with Matias' comments, I do think that Android is, by now, a mature product compared to where it was with the 1.x or even 2.x versions.
Sorry title should say Ice Cream Sandwich.

Comment on wether you think this is really the case ?

I like how they seem to think it's gonna run like crap. Like its gonna be the Windows Vista of the Xperia range.
Personally, after using the Ice Cream Sony ROM, I think it runs better than Gingerbread
However, that ROM has all the shovelware stripped out and frees up a LOT of internal storage. The real ICS is probably gonna be stuffed to the gills of Sony crap. I'm just gonna stick with this ROM

I don't think it is that Gingerbread is "better" than ICS, but it is certainly better for current devices (dual core and less) in terms of performance. It's like installing Windows 7 on a Pentium 4. It works, but it will be slow due to CPU performance.
Honestly, I have zero issues with Gingerbread on the Play. I tried ICS for awhile. It was nice, but the loss of performance was just too much to handle. I went back to Gingerbread and everything is smooth, fast...a great gameplay experience.
I won't be moving to ICS until I own a quad core gaming phone

mmm interesting. I think i'm gonna have to make a wise decision about upgrading to ICS when it's released.
Okay, if you have an X10, and you are pissed it didn't get official ICS, don't read this, especially if you know where I live
First of all, whatever about the whole eclair/froyo thing, you got GB in the end anyway.
And what? Look, the Nexus One uses the same board as the X10, and Google aren't updating the nexus one. And Sony have enough devices to update.

I'll tell you one thing. Battery life on the stock kernel on gingerbread is better than ANY other kernel on any other rom.
well imho the hype about ICS it overrated anyway.
If you see the differneces we will get - there is barely anything I need...
The only thing I like about it is the accelerated UI - making things smoother - but if the startup will take long there for - it isn't worht it... all the smoothness is gone by then.
and if u follow up the "resons for ICS" they mentioned- the list is a joke - list of gimmics - noting important - and the important ones can be done already by 3rd party software...
Even im looking forward to an update - casue im an update junkie - I rarhter w8 a bit longer - and if it is really "slower" I even would go back...

Wait till the update is out then flash a stock ICS rom. I'm using the Ice Cream Sony rom and it runs beautifully.
Roms based on stock tend to run better than the rom they are based on

I tried ICS. The bugs made me think my phone had broken hardware, which was a freaking scary experience, and was excruciatingly slow compared to gingerbread.
Honestly, I don't think I'll bother updating unless the official stable release improves by a large enough margin.

Ofcourse It's going to work better.. The Ice cream sandwich rom we have is a beta. The only way we're going to know whats better is to be patient and wait for the final release rom. and then let our clever devs work on it. Personally, I'll be using ice cream sandwich, ram hog or not. The UI upgrades and the general little touches it adds are worth it in my opinion. Maybe not everyones opinion but it is mine.
I'm personally just greatful that sony are updating the phones. my brothers LG Optimus black got Gingerbread in january. We have a good company who learnt from their mistakes in the donut-eclair phases and are still giving us an ice cream sandwich update before a dual core motorola device with a gig of ram is going to get it, That shows their commitment I think.

I wish to know that why people get excited over a new android version. I mean we have all functionality including flash on ics so why be excited over jelly bean or any new version. I mean isnt android ics perfect already on sgs3 . Why want to update to new versions. iOS or windows users get happy over an update because they r restricted like recent introduction of panorama just recently in ios and micro sd card option for windows user, as far as I say how has android improved since gingerbread.ics seems perfect to me coz it's already buttery smooth. Just wondering ?
exactly, Android is boss right now, so what's wrong with getting excited over some extra bits and bobs?
You wouldn't be asking this if you had experienced Jelly Bean on the GSIII after using ICS.
Jelly Bean is wayyyy smoother, also there are obviously many many more improvements over ICS that you or I will probably never notice, but they do make our experience better.
you can use flash in jb. I can do in jb same things I done in ics. System now is faster and smoother
Because we love flashing new rom.

exactly. like pulling down the notification bar dims the background screen.not exactly 'useful', but pretty tasty.
Yeah i know u can use flash on Jelly bean too. I have actually flashed alot of roms, in fact using the latest JB right now .... yup agreed google now is one of the things in jelly bean, but still. Anyhow I am always happy to c new updates but i think we only see marginal improvements coz its already perfect as ics. and to be honest speed and stability is something which is exactly the same after some period of use either on ics or jelly bean.
I am looking forward for 200 hundred new features. =D

Because this Android wonderful phone i mean wonderful toy has lot to give for time pass to all these people which you can't understand. Their life almost move around the phone only. Sleeping, waking up everything its addiction they live their life. Their life is dedicated to phone. Phone, phone and just phone
Or you suggest what else is the best time pass? Watching TV? NO! reading newspaper, uh so boring! The same news if read on S3, wow what a charm :laugh:
If they are missing lot of important things in life, so what! they have S3 weapon in their hand, no body can beat them.
So proud of you the XDA army, keep it up :good:
I will say this from what I have noticed and I noticed it back when Honeycomb was coming out. Everyone said "Oh Honeycomb is where it is, it's so nice and smooth and the UI is beautiful screw GB" then when ICS came out it was "HC is laggy and sucks, ICS is the sh*T and is so fast and smooth, it's what HC should have been" etc.... Now that JB is out you hear a lot of the same about ICS as you did about HC when ICS came out. It's just an observation and find it kinda funny

Well thats a good thing if you think about it, that means each new release is better than the previous one.
Also HC never really received great praises, it is the least version of android talked about ( also cause it was tablets but apparently wasn't that great).

There are hundreds of new tweaks and many new features are being introduced in every new android updates. Just Google don't advertise them like other phone manufacturers . If android gets stuck with Jb and no other future updates, then the whole android modding community will be clueless about what to do next.
