nCoder in the i9000 looked into it already, here's a link to the thread:

Looks like more RFS, Bluetooth 3.0, FM Radio

Woah. Screenshot from the home page attached, in case it goes away.

Uh oh!! Gingerbread already?!

I though about that after I posted the link.

Hey, time to check this out
Doubt it is anything... probably samfirmwares trying to get some traffic.

Downloading now...I don't expect anything special but we will see.

is this not the rumored model number of the nexus S?
disappointed to hear its still using RFS... so here's hoping that's either untrue or it /isn't/ the nexus S firmware.

Here is the real way to crack this sucker open

You will proabably get an error on one of the commands, this is how your get around it.

No but I wonder if the nexus s is actually a variant of this and not a variant of the i9000. The nexus s is supposedly i9020 not i9200

Yeah, I don't have my linux box with me unfortunately though, so if anyone could do that, that would be great. But then apparently SamFirmware.com is busy working on it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9306317&postcount=28

Also, you need to make sure your distro supports UBIFS. It's a rather *new* file system format but from what I have heard Fedora 11 does.. have to redownload my copy though ;/

you also need mtd utils, most distros support this as well, but here is the git if your distro doesn't support it out of the box: git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git
UBIFS git here: git://git.infradead.org/ubifs-2.6.git

I got past all the errors and the on the last step couldn't mount the ubifs.

[Q] Google Nexus S

Are you ready to donate to the first one who ports this to HD2 ??

and yes i will donate when this is available, but dont expect it too soon.

Engadget said:
Nexus One owners feeling a little Nexus S envy can breathe a little easier -- we're hearing that Android 2.3 Gingerbread is being pushed out to the N1 as we speak. We'd imagine that all the slick new features that don't require new hardware (like NFC support) will be there, and we're definitely interested in playing with this built-in WiFi calling stack. We'll let you know what we find -- won't you do the same?

It shouldnt take to long 2.3 is already going out to the N1 so shouldnt it be super easy to port over in a day or two?

Let's keep the thread on topic, please. No need to accuse someone of being a non-intelligent derriere.

i don't see any major attractive things make me update to 2.3 immediately.
the most excited feature is the improved voice command. and improved keyboard.

What interests me is the new dalvik-cache handling, supposed to speed things up a lot.

Multi touch keyboard sounds fantastic. Can hardly wait for Nexus 1 to get the update.

So what?
16 of Dez the Nexus2 must be in stores, and sellers must try a couple of days before that, to know what are selling.....what we need is a leak from Nexus2.....like football did, with desireHD.

Straight from the sdk. I'm not kidding. I've already run the emulator on my pc. The new theme for certain icons looks kinda nice. I'll get a screenshot up in a minute.

And with that the dev can make a port to HD2, dont need a real dump from a device?
sorry for noob coding questions.

Not really, but the actual dump from a real device would be nice, because it has drivers, and things like that. When infinitybiff makes a release, rest assured, not everything will work right away. I quote infinitybiff when I say that.

at least its good to have something out early, then work on fixes....good stuff

Heres some screenshots of the (slightly) new theme for gingerbread.

Uhh yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone knows that already. This isn't news

Android 2.3 being pushed to N1 is news to me , thanks for the same .

Good news, i just hope this gets stickied BOLDED in each nexus one section so i don't have to read new threads on "when is GB coming or how can I get it"..........

Everyone knows/knew it was coming OTA.
What we don't know is when that will be. Something that the tweet doesn't help with in any way

Well, I'm sure a few bright sparks will figure it out. Who needs OTA when you have AOSP?

Well there isn't either right now...

From the looks of things (rumors and twitter feeds), GNG should hit AOSP before OTA...but that's all speculation still.

Just got a Iconia

This is my first Android tablet and i love it . It has a lot more potation than the iPad. But i think it is build on a different kind of experience than the iPad. I have had a iPad since the 1g came out. And i needed a change form iOS, I also have a rooted HTC Evo 4G so i knew how android was. But the UI in Honeycomb is a lot more polished than Gingerbread.

what is this so called polish that everyone speaks of

I assure you, the Iconia Tab A500 has nothing to do with potatoes or agriculture.

I think he is saying potential

whats the point of topic?

Agriculture

apparently so .
I Just ment are we comparing this to the so called polish of the ipad. I actually like the os I just think hardware acceleration could be improved but over all Im happy with it.

Potation means 'the act of drinking' - maybe he's thinking that the Beer LiveWallpaper is real??

Anyhoo, let's not be mean.
Congrats for your purchase and enjoy the tablet!

Can anbody explain why the release of 3.1 is taking so long. I like the iconia but you would think the company would release the 3.1 and kernel source to move the tablets to make more money.

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.

here you go !!

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.
