they always release the source after 30 days or less....

I'm excited to see what our wonderful devs will cook up for us here in the coming weeks/months. Voodoo sound kernel with voodoo color and ext4 partition conversion would be nice.

They have 60 days, and people were assuming that sammy would wait the entire time allowed under the Android license.

But if you look at their tack record, they don't do that, they don't wait 60 days as other companies do.

Is this legit?? ICS Source release?

The second one is android.com so yes.

They are both from google's legitimate servers, so I would say it is no gimmick!
Wonder what devs can do with this, next couple of months will be exciting
Wonder what the CyanogenMod devs are going to say/have said about this source

Lol..... yeh I figured that after following the group for an hour, then all my emails/tweets started popping up saying the same thing!
Literally saw it a few minutes after it was posted and spent the next half hour searching for something to back it up. Fingers crossed cm can come up with something, its about time we had a real new aosp rom.

(That's for CM, I don't know if anyone attempts to experiment with the source specifically for the Wildfire till then. I hope arco does)

Ok,now don't jump down my throat I'm just asking about something I don't totally understand lol.......
I'm only semi excited about ICS on wildfire because I don't understand fully so can someone enlighten me.
ICS source has been released and its been quoted many times by many members that this will not run on wildfire due to its processor. If however someone(s) manage this task then,
1.what does ICS bring to us that we don't have already?
2. Will in all honesty this not be a resource/system and battery hungry eater due to it never ideally supposedly to be for wildfire?
I'm at work and don't have the availabilities/time to search these queeries.regards as always slymobi.

Also agree, except I never check general and wouldn't have known. This is definitely very good news. It's nice seeing my purchase decision affirmed by continued support, upgrades, etc.

Awesome News
Can't wait. At least I will get a little ICS on something, since the Galaxy Nexus only exists in our imagination and the UK.

Just saw it reposted on Android Police:

Yeah it made my week too. I am really upset with Verizon, but that's not new, about the whole world having the Galaxy Nexus but not here. So, ICS on my Galaxy tab heals my wounds.

So hopefully in a couple of weeks we may see ICS on our tabs it will be great
Wondering if he will post here

anyway to merge this with the two other ics posts in general...?

The only question that remains for me now is:
Which will come first: ICS on SGT10.1 or the Asus Transformer Prime?

I also hope they get flash working however limited its lifespan is i still visit a lot of sites that use flash

Adobe announced that they have one more build release to add support for 4.0, but that will be it (aside from standard bug and security fixes I suppose).
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/21/flash-for-android-not-quite-dead-yet-will-land-on-ice-cream-san/
Who knows if this will change in the future, but if any Android release in the future breaks this compatibility that might be it for Flash on mobile devices altogether.

Please show me where Steve stated that it is a CyanogenMod build. All he has said is that ICS is coming. Not CM9.
Also, this does not belong in the Development section. Double-fail.

It's actually a huge detail. I for one will be happy just to see ICS, but ICS will pale in comparison to CM9.

Why wouldn't it be a cm build? The only reason we don't have one right now was because of the source not being released for honeycomb and cm doesn't downgrade devices. Shoot, cyanogen now works for Samsung, so they'd have a business incentive to get ics on the gt10.1 fast (albiet unofficially) considering it's their flagship tablet.

When do we get ICS update for acer a500?

I'm waiting for ICS update from acer. Could somebody tell me the time when it starts updating to ICS? If there's an unofficial way to make it happen, please inform me about it. Thank you.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium

Probably 6 months. It will be on the newly released tablets first. Then, sometime later, it will be officially pushed to current owners.
But then again, nobody really knows except the manufacturers.
Experimental Roms, will be out before then. But NOBODY is going to personally contact you. You'll have to check the dev threads on your own

As of right now Acer has not made any announcements regarding ICS to the A500 tablets. But like it was previously said, doesn't mean we wont hear about it in a few months.

AHHHH its all over the net.. acer has said mid January.But that does mean for sure we will get it then.. they always seem to be a bit behind..AS far as the dev of rom in this forum..
I hope i am wrong but seems they are stuck with driver issue for GPS CAMERA AND CAMCORDER.. AS well as a few other things.. I think these are proprietary to the acer tablet. this could make us have to wait for acer to release a rom or drivers specific for this tablet .
so as said about . NOBODY REALLY HAS ANY IDEA. Blazing and his team are working very hard i would say send him some pay pal help..As we all have done.. .
READ THE forum before asking a question so common as this one. its been answered a Billion times in the last few months..
dont take this personal But SEARCH FUNCTION HAS BEEN CREATED TO AVOID THREADS AS THIS ONE..
GOOD LUCK..

I found a ROM called Thor v14. After flashing the ROM, It looks great on my a500.But I have no idea that the ROM is based on real ICS. Somebody told me it was based on android 3.2.

The latest rumors now go that the A500 and PB's G100 will expect the ICS update coming April. It may well be that Acer kept its promise they made in January when they pushed the launchdate to April.

When Are We Getting a Better Working Sense 4 and Android 4 ROMs?

At this point, things that don't work are the things I need to work. Nothing has changed for nearly two months now, so I'm just curious.

the impatience and greed around here is unbelievable...
if you want something to be fully working and perfect, you gotta make it yourself. plus rushing things isn't gonna do any good at all. it will come, just be patient... be glad we even have a Sense 4 ROM...

Dude, seriously, it was a question. That's it. Not a complaint, not impatience, and not greed. The assumptions of others on this forum is what is really unbelievable. I knew that some joker would answer back like that.

Saranhai is part of the team that brings a lot of ROM's to this device. He is probably a little frustrated that it seems like is never good enough, or fast enough for people. Your question may have been honest and purely innocent, but with the way things have been around here lately his reaction is somewhat understandable.
Several devs are hard at work on sense 4 kernels and the camera. When they have a usable fix, it will be released. If you want to add to their resolve you could always donate

I'm patiently waiting too. And so you know, I'm posting this in a good mood, not frustrated or being smart. But from what I understand is its basically at a standstill until devs can get the necassary kernel to get the camera working. It's not that they are being slow..they simply don't have what's needed to accomplish it. And I may be entirely wrong..that's just what I have been thinking.

Take it at face value MF. It's my fault that you put your own thoughts into a simple question? Seriously, it's all too common on XDA for people to needlessly attack others on the basis that people are too sensitive.
See the answer that JJ gave? That's all that we needed. I wanted to know the issues the devs were facing? If anything I was concerned, because I've never seen something give this kind of trouble on this phone. We all appreciate the works that devs do. We all act like kids in a candy store for the work that devs do.

Team Inferno member ...Awesome... is releasing a One S port. Yes, One S. Hope that fits your needs (besides camera )

I think it got a little hot outside to the point it heated everything, even in the internet.... xD

The issue is that there's no HTC official kernel source for any "sister" devices - DHD/DS, and they didn't get the HTC ICS update either. Without the kernel source, devs have to use kernel source from other, less compatible devices to compile the kernel, and the binary drivers from those devices don't match the HW. There are no skilled enough and/or willing enough devs to dig in the kernel code and rewrite the API towards the drivers to match the older, working drivers from Gingerbread (that's what was done back in Gingerbread release time), mostly because it's a huge work that brings almost no benefits - the official code is likely to be better anyway, and its release will most likely be closer to this point in time than the shortest time required for "enthusiast" work.

I think in layman terms, that means if someone attempted to rewrite source code to match the h/w in the Glacier, by the time they would finish, better & more compatible code would be here anyway. So its best, at this point, to just wait patiently?
