Acer A500 port?

Will this be even remotely possible?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

Not really. Something could probably be hacked together similar to what was done to the Honeycomb SDK, but until we get HC/ICS source code its going to be very lacking.

better off waiting for ICS source code to be released. porting anything honeycomb is not gonna work

From what I gather, it wont help because its tegra based, so the drivers and acceleration are desinged around a different CPU and GPU than what's in the NC. From the reviews I read about HC devices, it just seems like HC isn't very well optimized, as even the tegra2 systems can have occasional lag.

Got it. Thanks for the replies guys.

I seriously don't think I9000 will get any update beyond 2.3.x

Me to..i think dont.. But hey.. We already got ton of talent dev Here..maybe we still can taste of ics..

I will say ...
We have to look at nexus s first

Officially? Maybe.
CM7 Version? Most definitely.
For now you guys might want to try the ICS Launcher. It's currently taken down from the Market, but if you Google it you can still download it from their website for free...

Beware the ICS launcher - the one I downloaded requested permission to dial out, so I didn't take any risk and deleted it immediately.

I believe all lauchers do.

I guess ICS source code should be published first , in order for the cm7 team adopts it.

I think our phone will get ICS officially from samsung.Dont forget SGS was samsung flagship and it is this phone only that turned samsung into android champion.You see samsung is updating SGS as fast as SGS II

I think we will and should get it as galaxy s has a very capable hardware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Think so. have nothing official to base this statement on but I really think so. i'm not seeing google leaving nexus s on 2.3 without an update to ICS, even with a new phone coming up, and galaxy s has just about the same hardware.

And they want to avoid fragmentation so they should update us as well.

I read somewhere that any device capable of running gingerbread would be updated to ICS

I don't see any reason they won't provide an update to ICS... after all this phone was produced merely about a year ago, and is still one of the best (despite the fact that Samsung completely messed up with the RFS file system...) .

Ive also heard that any device capable of running GB will be able to run ICS, however the only thing that may hold the phone back is the limited ram :/
I do however hope we get ICS!!!

Maybe here ?
"At Google I/O I asked the Android team if Ice Cream Sandwich had any special hardware requirements that would prevent it from running on existing smartphones. They didn’t name specific handsets, but we were told that most phones which could run Android 2.3 would be able to handle the update. That doesn’t guarantee anything for current Android smartphone owners, but we expect Google’s own Nexus One and Nexus S will be some of the first devices upgraded to Android 4.0."
source: androidandme.com
This is interesting too:
"If you are a fan of custom ROMs, then you will be happy to know that Google plans to release Ice Cream Sandwich to the Android Open Source Project. Google typically releases the source code to each version of Android a few months after it debuts on a new device, but they chose not to do this with Honeycomb. Andy Rubin said Google wanted to prevent developers from putting the software on phones “and creating a really bad user experience. We have no idea if it will even work on phones.”
Ice Cream Sandwich will be available for the development community to hack to their hearts’ content and I’m sure we will see CyanogenMod 8 a month after the source code is public."
...............And maybe that Samsung could surprise us with a ICS firmware for i9000...

I think our SGS will get ICS officialy, btw I don't think it will bring any major improvement (as happened with gingerbread).
However it would be better to be updated because some new apps probably will only work on ICS.

One big: Hardware accelerated UI (and the sgx540 still a really good gpu).
After that, i think you can say it's smoother than ever on your i9000

Why would launcher need to dial out? You have a dialer / phone apk for that, I guess.

sgs has had enough updates there r new phones like sgs2 an the comming soon so thier prefrence will b first an hardware wise those will run better....i dont like the gb on sgs , i got sgs2 an the gb works kool....i think eclair,froyo were the best to perform on sgs....
more ever dev creat a good custum rom so (don expect much)..........cheeerz

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?

Hacking and piecing together some drivers probably won't get the same end result as a Motorola release.

Yah checked the github this is no commits for ics and no new branches for ics. The newest branch is for the finger print reader.

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.

I was about to say the same.....thor has it running an a tegra2 tablet so im waiting patiently for it to appear on our beloved ATRIX. Go dev team go

don't we have like the identical processor stuff with the xoom? same cpu, tegra 2 etc..

Ics for nexus s available for dl from tmobile

So will this speed things up a bit as far as other devices go? I know that rom itself won't work..duh
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

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

(Q) Honeycomb on Kindle

Since the Honeycomb source was released when ICS source was released, is it possible to port Honeycomb to other tablets like the Kindle? I realize ICS is newer and more desirable, just wondering if its even possible or has been attempted already. Thanks
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium

There are plenty of tablets running Honeycomb in their stock ROMs, the Motorola Xoom for instance. A Honeycomb ROM is entirely possible, there just doesn't seem to be much of an interest.

Yeah, I have a Toshiba Thrive with HC, just wondering if its possible to port. ICS is awesome on my kindle and on my Inspire, but Honeycomb just seems like a perfect tablet OS to me and I think would be perfect on my Kindle.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium

It's definitely possible but the devs have been laser-focused on CM9

Well I guess its as perfect time as ever to learn how to compile from source then
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Why don't you try and Theme one of the CM9 ROMs with Honeycomb, themeing is a easy skill to learn.
I personally don't have any interest in HoneyComb, ICS is superior and has a much cleaner look.

Yeah its possible but I think before they start with honeycomb they should finish ics. Once hardware accelaration is working and they get a 3.x kernel it should be easy to get hc to work as well.... don't know why u would want it tho pics is much more polished
