Considering he said December for the Evo 3D, which HTC already confirmed would be updated in January, I would take this with a large spoonful of salt.

It has been confirmed that the SGS2 will get Icecream sandwich now when we gonna get is another thing, only bet is if Sammobile can get an early leak for us before its officially released which I dont see happening in atleast another six months has they will defo give atleast 3 months for the nexus to sell before pumping it out for the other phones

Samsung italy said that ICS will be released in Q2. Maybe earlier there will be some leak

Given that the source code is out there, would any of the custom rom developers be working on it? or do they wait for an official samsung release before customising. I am new to the whole thing
Hell, if one of them wanted to go crazy with it they could make a fortune selling it at a couple bucks a pop It's probably against the spirit of the whole thing though.

The source code for ICS has not been released yet and won't be until the Galaxy Nexus is released.
When it is released, ICS ROMs will be a dime a dozen. Some will be great, some will suck ****. With Cyanogenmod being free, no one will pay for another rom. Charging for a hacked rom might also land someone in some legal hot water.

Great attitude, lets spam the forums just because we can!

/facepalm
shows how much my noob finger is on the pulse. For some strange reason, I thought the code had been released on the announce date last month.
Back to my box then

that was the SDK

All the devs here need is a full leak then maybe we can have ICS before the official release. Soooo anyone care to leak?

Nice lawsuit.
Nice thread.

I hope samsung gets rolled on like saddam's army.
I would love to see this lawsuit go somewhere, but the only one that will benefit is lawyers. Phone makers just wont announce any updates until they are ready to be released fearful of lawsuits.

The i9000 does. And the canadians.
Its just the US.
And I think samsung purposely told tmo to not release the update because it would impeed sales of the vibrant 4g, which would definitely be against the law since all galaxy s phones were launched with the specific statement of "will be upgraded to android 2.2"

HTC CEO Confirms "We will no longer be locking bootloaders" !!

"There has been overwhelmingly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones. I want you to know that we've listened.

Yeah, I was already in the Nexus One forum by mistake. I have it bookmarked and brought it up by default, then realized afterwards lol.
So, I posted there too
Wow is this awesome. I live HTC just for the fact they listened and realized and changed their mind. They deserve to make a ton of money for this alone.
so ytf did they do it in the first place
it's a bit late isn't it? the sensation and flier are already locked...
Great news for the XDA & HTC gang!!

Are they going to release updates to unlock bootloaders on existing phones? Seems like a bit of a slap to say this just after they've released a new line of phones (Desire S, Sensation, Incredible S)?
Still, better this than nothing.
Cool move.. HTC+Android rulez
There has been no comment yet as to whether they will make this retro to other devices. There is no technical impediment to doing so although resources would have to be applied to it on their end. Mentioned on another forum was that even if they do not go there themselves they can back door it to any number of sources in the community. I picked up an sgs2 right as they came but might have waited a little longer and looked harder at the sensation if I had known they were going to reverse their corporate direction regarding locked bootloaders.

It would be cool if they fully unlock the bootloader on the Nexus One. We currently don't have fastboot access to all the partitions.
Just an update to this, in case anyone missed it.
Yesterday androidandme report HTC is releasing an OTA to unlock the bootloaders of the Sensation..
Yep, does look better for the Sensations unlocked bootloader. Another article at tmonews here

i hope they add ipsec vpn to ice cream sandwich, otherwise i think it is mostly honeycomb for phones.
Google should be releasing the source code for ICS. This means we (most likely) will be getting a Cyanogenmod ROM for the TF!
I am holding out for Strawberry Shortcake.
now is when i really want to root my device, i want ICS but i guess with having a B70 ill need to wait and hope for a official release!

you and me both man. I have a b80 and I check here and rayman's site/twitter almost everyday waiting for an update. I'm dying to root my device so I'll be able to install cm8 (or cm9 if they make HC and ICS versions when both sources come out). Right now I can deal with the device as stock, but I want to root ASAP.

You guys should have gotten the ipad 2, then.
BTW, this just in, the release next week has been delayed.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/241380/ice_cream_sandwich_launch_delayed.html
People's reaction to ICS has opened up my mind about apple users versus google users. I've been asking every iphone and ipad user I see (work, train, train station, shop, wherever) whether they are excited about the iOS 5 release. I've been asking for a week now. Dozens of people. Not a single one said yes. Every one of them said they're fine with the current version.
On the other hand, android (honeycomb users) are threatening to ditch android if they don't get the ICS NOW. In fact, even before honeycomb was released I already saw people wanting ICS.
This tells me we're not such a good bunch of gadget users after all.
Screw you guys. I'm gonna make my way to the apple world to avoid bitter people who are demanding to have the latest and greatest just a couple months after the last latest and greatest update.

[31/12/2011] [KP4 & KP8] [Download + Video Inside] SamMobile Announces New Leak

I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this already.
SamMobile's Twitter account (here) has semi-announced that a new leak, with a build date of December 20th, is scheduled to be released publicly on January 1st, 2012.
Through a Twitter conversation between SamMobile and XplodWild, its also apparent that Team Hacksung do not currently have this leak.
This could be good news if issues such as NITZ support are fixed, but anyone who's followed the development scene with Samsung phones will know that this new leak also has the potential of breaking stuff the devs have already fixed.
31/12/11
SamMobile tweeted their video preview! Check it out on Youtube here!
KP4 and KP8 out, grab them here.
January, the 1st? Hmm... Anyone wants to sacrifice his new years party to work on it?
Hopefully in the first 2 weeks of the new year we can get a stable working beta... just maybe...

sammobile is not samsung
Thanks for the info....
Sammobile also twittered that it's much better than KP2.
Personally I'm waiting for a decent Samsung release (leaked or official) so that we can get some custom roms based off it.
I don't mind the look of CM9, stock ICS etc but I most likely won't use it as a daily rom even when its fully stable. I prefer the Samsung based roms with their extras.
And yes I expect to get a grilling over this but its my opinion.

On a movie forum I used to read, every day someone would ask when this movie was coming out and the regulars always responded with "Next Tuesday" as code for "You knew how to find this forum but didn't bother to read the countless posts here or all over the internet, you lazy bastard?" So in that spirit, ICS for the Atrix is coming out next Tuesday.

Haha that's brilliant, I might have to use that as a standard reply. That clearly shut people up
Actually, it was probably "next Thursday" now that I think about it. Makes more sense for a movie release.
well... i think that would have to take into consideration where you live. I know usually here for the US, new movies generally hit theaters on Friday's, but new DVD's/BluRay's typically come out on Tuesday.

I've noticed that it depends on the popularity of the movie being released. Popular ones in theaters Tuesdays and dvd Fridays. Lol and depends on the season. Walmart changes release dates in winter to fridays and tuesdays in summer.
It looks like blockbusters are always released on Fridays unless it's released to coincide with a holiday. Maybe it's sometimes considered Thursday because there's a Friday midnight showing for big blockbusters.
DVDs are released on Tuesday apparently so as not to cannibalize movie ticket sales. I'd think Monday would make more sense though.

I think has to do with the tegra drivers and implementation.
As powerful and nice as the tegra chipset is, i'm not buying another phone with it, due to NVidia's closed nature with it. Android hardware should be open source and NVidia is not playing nice with that at all, which is making development for it very difficult
