ICS Source Released - Acer Iconia A500

For those devs who would find this useful, the ICS source has just been released.

(EDIT: Please note that the GIT repo is syncing the code in, I'm not sure if it is complete yet)

yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

By no means rushing anything, just curious...what's the expected turnaround for a rom on the A500 based on this?
I am fully aware that this is very new and different to all of us and it will take some time to figure out, just wondering what everyone thinks. Excited

Just an update to say the sync is complete, so cooks can get on their way now. Compiling ICS takes quite a bit of time and power though (5 hours on a quad core with 16gb of RAM!) so it might be a few days at least before we see the first AOSP release for the A500. Maybe sooner if we get a dedicated dev to work on it it might even be faster if someone cooks a ROM on another device (Xoom or Transformer for example) and then makes a port for the A500. Of course, it would be a bit buggier doing it this way. Either way, we'll be seeing ICS pretty soon. We just need to be patient

well, given that they're probably fitting ICS to the Iconia officially towards the middle or end of January, I'd say we'll get custom roms by december..

expect some drivers that could need some tricks, i guess it would be easy to port it

Finally the long anticipated ICS will be presented to the Iconia.

Closed.
There is already another thread here for ICS

Will we see Ice Cream Sandwhich?

Either through ota updates or unofficial ports?
sorry
I don't think officially we will get ics. But there standard a great chance of getting it on our tablets.If you need icecream right now I suggest doing as I do.Dairy Queen is close to most everyone.
Good luck

On a serious note I do think it will be ported to our device.

Because ICS will be optimized for both tablets and phones, I think we'll begin to see a lot more tablet support from Cyanogenmod.
Speaking of which, I'm looking at buying an a500, and I was trying to find out if there is either a beta, or an unofficial CM port, but when I searched this forum for cyanogenmod I got 0 hits. Is search broken, or am I missing something? From what I've read, the bootloader lock was cracked, so why is no one on the whole a500 forum talking about CM?
I am not 100 % sure but I think cm is still on 2.3.whatever whereas we are on 3.x.x

That's bc honeycomb isn't open source but ICS will be so there should be cm support.

No icecream that stuff will make you fat
I think that we may see an official update through Acer depending on the requirements Google has for the hardware part of ICS.
I also believe that CM will most likely stay exclusive to phones. Although ICS will support both phones and tablets, I don't see CM moving away from making custom Roms for phones.
However, I do hope that the CM team will be willing to try something new seeing as the ICS code should be very similar for both Tablets and Phones.
I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Cm as you pointed out is a team so all it takes is for root on a tab and a team member to get that tab and I'm sure cm ICS will make it to tabs.

cm did great work on the nook color, they did what they could to make 2.3 functional on the nook adding bluetooth, bottom status bar w/ buttons and much more. i cant wait for ICS to come out and im sure they will throw some tablet love our way.

Here comes ICS to EVO?

I read elsewhere that even with 250gb+ of HD space and 16gb RAM were looking at 5+ hours to compile.
Not to mention all the tweaking that has to happen for the vanilla to work on specific devices.

Pretty sure that's what "Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Source Code Available Now!" in the title of the article means
First post for you yay!
Everyone sounds confident that we'll be getting ICS on the Evo. Has there been any confirmation (by the Cyanogen team or otherwise) that this device was going to make the cut? It's getting a bit long in the tooth, phone-wise. I'd love to eek out a few more months of use out of it though. Best phone I've had so far.

Cyanogenmod already said they'd work to develop an ICS build [CM 9] but refused to do so until official source was released, which it has been.
Right, but was the Evo 4G specifically mentioned as being supported? CM9 might not (probably won't) be available on all devices that CM7 supports.
It probably won't be supported on something like the Hero or older legacy devices which barely made the cut for CM7. I have a good feeling that the EVO will still get ICS because it hasn't had the life bled out of it yet like the G1 or other highly supported phones.
ive been waiting for this since honeycomb i am so excited and evo should make the cut its not to old of a device probably wont be an official release but still it works

CyanogenMod 9!

It's official! CyanogenMod 9 is coming to the eeePad Transformer!
CM 9 Progress Update
We’ve been hard at work on CM9 since Google released Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) into the wild last month, and things are slowly starting to come together. Google did a great job with ICS and added some really awesome features which in some cases replace or deprecate functionality that we had in CM7, so we are reevaluating all of our customizations. A number of devices are already up and running with CM9, and the focus is currently on getting as many devices ready as we can. The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos. We also have some Tegra2 tablets in the pipeline such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus Transformer. Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan. And sorry Droid1 owners, we’re dropping support for you. Time to upgrade
There are a number of challenges that we are up against. Google has made some pretty major changes to the Android framework that break compatibility with older proprietary camera and graphics drivers in order to achieve some pretty insane performance, but I am confident that the team will be able to overcome these issues like we have in the past.
For those of you who like to build CM from source yourself, you probably know that the spin-up time when starting a CM7 build is absurdly long due to the high number of devices in our repository. Koush and Arcee have put together a solution to this problem that adds new devices on-demand to your local repository, saving on both bandwidth and the long startup time. Some other great enhancements are coming too, like a completely overhauled music app, a new file manager, and a new launcher based on stock 4.0.
If you have a Nexus S, you can check out the code and build for yourself today. More devices are on the way, and I’ll send out these status updates as we make more progress

Exactly what I was thinking. I love Prime and the work roach has been doing, but when I can get CM on the tablet, I will go running.
what's the advantage of CM vs Prime rom ?
Its Vanilla ICS. Most stable best battery life and best performance.
You have to try it to actually realize the differance. Which is like day and night

Well, if Roach and Gnufabio can't get any Transformer love after CM9 hits, they should know the Acer A100 forum would hail them as gods...

It'll be interesting to see what the difference is. CM is usually better than stock firmware sure so being as lean and cut-back as possible while still adding in extremely useful features.
Asus have done a great job of keeping their firmware bloat-free though, so it may not be too different, performance-wise. The biggest advantage will probably come from extended support. Asus probably won't upgrade the TF101 past 4.0 - having CM pretty much ensures that it will get every version of Android in the future so long as somebody is interested in getting it running.

A lot of the "bloat" Asus has added is incredibly useful. Polaris Office is really nice, and unavailable if Asus didn't include it. Same with Supernote, which is pretty good for free. Splashtop, again, expensive software included for free.
The **** I hate is them bundling things like Netflix... it's freely available on the market, and only available in select regions, why on earth would you bundle that?

Any idea how CM9 is going on?

Hey!
I've been following the three ICS ports for the Desire Z in the Development Section for a while now, and am running the Desire S port - runs very smoothly btw - but was wondering: is there a place such as XDA's dev threads for CM9 somewhere in the realms of the interwebs?
Or is all the CM9 dev talk done via IRC/Tapatalk/etc. ?
As far as I'm aware they keep a pretty tight lid on their development progress and their official statements are on some kind of quarterly release schedule
But you can keep somehow up-to-date by following some of the devs on twitter or g+.
Edit: I kind of wander here often: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,statuspen,n,z To be honest most of what I see is beyond of what I understand, but it's nice to see work is being done and where the focus seems to be.
Should be a couple months before everything is good to go, but it will be awesome!
Engadget and many others posted good chances of cm9 being dropped sometime in september.
Can't wait myself after checking out the beta stuff here

FYI: +Chris Soyars posted an update on the state of cm7/cm9 nightlies.
Apparently they changed their minds, there will be no more cm7 nightlies. When the nightlies start up again, they will be cm9.

Some one correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the chip we have is the MSM7230. That seems to fit the name for 7X30. Makes me think we are going to be in the first batch of devices to have CM9. I don't know much about chip sets, or their naming conventions, but I'm excited either way.

I've read something along those lines on these forums a few weeks ago. It seems pretty feasible. I'd say that the Desire Z is fully worthy of Cyanogen Team's love

The device launched LAST THURSDAY...
Competent developers take time to test and polish their stuff, they don't just throw random crap out into the wild to claim "first".
The only reason the N8000 is ahead right now is because it had about a week headstart in availability.
I can tell you at least two Cyanogenmod device maintainers have purchased or have Note 10.1s on order - Myself (N8013 in my possession) and Espenfjo (N8000 on order), also I think chris41g and at least one other member of the CM team have N8013s.
Same for the Euro N8010 Wifi only version. No dev either...

Understood and makes sense (wasn't aware they had the headstart). Glad to hear you have a 8013 as I've seen alot of good work from you in the past for current and previously owned devices. One quick question... maybe its too early to say, but do you see porting the S-Pen apps and functionality to CM 10 even as an option? Maybe its not even possible....
Thanks again!
I'm so looking forward to the boost CM will give to this tablet judging from my experience with CM9 giving new life to my old Galaxy S Epic 4G.
This device should be quite popular with Developers due to the s-pen. I am betting we have roms galore in about 30 days,
We have root already at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152.
It just released, give it time.

Apps with the S-Pen SDK - No.
Apps that use the standard ICS Pen APIs - Yes - these are becoming more and more common. PS Touch may even be in this category, I won't know until I've tried. I had a bunch of N7000/I777 stuff to do this past weekend so didn't even start on CM10 bringup.
Built-in features such as stylus gestures and an included note-taking app - There was work started on this, the Note 10.1 will make it more important to get this stuff finished. Google dropping JB kind of put a hold on the "new CM features" stuff as we tried to un-break all the old ones.
Might I just say, it is [email protected] good to see you here, Entropy.

One thing, as far as CM on the N80xx:
I probably could have had CM booting and mostly working with only a few hours of work. However, there's the "quick way" and there's the "right way". The "quick way" would've gotten my N8013 working without providing any benefit for N8000, and without leveraging I9300 commonality. The "right way" takes quite a bit more time - but leverages commonality with the I9300. I'm REALLY hoping we can use the same smdk4412 kernel source tree as the I9300 with just some patches, as it makes maintenance MUCH easier, but could take some time to initially pull in all the right patches.
Similarly, getting an N8013 device tree would've been easy. Having a "common" tree takes more time but means all N80xx devices will pretty much all be maintained to the same degree. See P51xx/P31xx...

Seeing alot of well known Dev's.. This is great and very encouraging. The hardware on this device is awsome, only complan and minor one at that is the screen resolution. In all honesty though it really doesnt bother me much as there ins't much jaggy endges.
As is usual - Whenever Samsung releases a new device (or even a major upgrade to an old device - See I9100 ICS cpufreq derpage which took multiple kernel developers 2-3 weeks to figure out), there's some really derped-up **** in the source.
Right now, any source-built kernel has massive issues with wifi - The SDIO interface just seems to shut down and the chip drops off the face of the earth. This does not happen in the stock kernel.
This one's gonna be a pain in the ass to figure out.
See attached dmesg for an example of the fun...
