Developer community after ICS

When ICS (and the Nexus Prime) come out, do you think we will still have a steady developer community for the Nexus S, or do you think everyone will jump on the Prime bandwagon?

It won't be long before the nexus gets ics after the prime release. I'm hoping to get a prime myself but if Ics takes a while for the s I plan to work on both

As long as the source is released on time the nexus s will get some custom frozen treats. I have no plans to buy a different phone.

Personally I can't wait for ICS and for what it'll bring to the NS

Prime! Its gonna be awesome! But IcS on the Nexus will be just as sweet while I start penny pinching.

I just got my phone and I LOVE it. I'm hoping that we will get the ics update soon and then we can enjoy it and get more custom roms. Depending on how big the prime is then I will get it because I took advantage of the buy back program from best buy and I will get almost the full retail price.

4G Xoom

Is there any ROM that works well with Xoom 4G? Every ROM I look says not to fash on a 4G Xoom.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

Simple answer no.
Longer answer is that no dev is going to waste the time getting one up and running just to have ICS drop a few weeks later.
So I'd just sit tight and wait for the Ice Cream goodness to roll in.

What demecles said, no dev is going to waste there time doing a ROM that will support the 4G XOOM when ICS is right around the corner. There's a few kernels out there that will work with the 4G XOOMs but I'm not even going to bother with that, as long as I have root access, I'm all good and waiting on ICS to come out.

You can alway get the stock rooted img here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242524
It works great on mine. Its just the stock rom +root but at least you can play a bit.

Good point. I didn't remember about ics but frankly I don't think we are a few weeks away. Motorola said after ics is realeased by Google they will take 6 weeks to release a final note but that the xoom will receive the update. I think it will be more like around February or so

I was aso looking for a rom for my 4g xoom and came to the same conclusion regarding ICS.
My biggest complaint since I got my xoom back from the upgrade has been battery life. I used to be able to use it for 7+ hours and be fine. Now I get only 4 hrs or so of usage. Have tried shutting off the data to no avail.
Must have something to do with the new software I guess.
Any suggestions?

hello fellow notationers!

Just got my not a few hours ago, moved on com the streak 5 (great device but a Tad dated now). Rooted and cwm'ed and must say this thing is a beast! Looving it!

Welcome
From my kick-ass note

Mine finally arrived by FedEx today, and so far so good. Screen is perfect.
Gonna be rooting shortly.

Should i give up that the Google I/O Tab 10.1 will ever get ICS or 3.2

Like the title says, many devices are starting to get ICS, while this Google I/O Tab 10.1 is still stuck at 3.1. Will we ever get 3.2 or even ICS.
Cant believe they just abandoned this thing.
Might move to the transformer and never come back.
Any thoughts?

Officially...yes
But you can flash any custom rom that is meant for the wifi only version if the tab and it will work fine...even the touchwiz ones

Officially? Did they say something?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

yes they did, use google you'll get an official statement...
in Canada, the 3.2 update was received not much ago, while the others had it a while ago. we'll most likely get the update after ICS...

Oops...sorry for the misunderstanding...I meant no...not officially..but you can flash a custom tom...they're pretty nice.

I've decided I'm going to sell this thing. Better get the Transformer Prime.

Am I missing something? As far as I know there has already been an official statement from samsung that ICS will come in the next months.
I bought this tablet just a month ago and my laptop hasn't been used since.
It is rooted but still on stock 3.2 honeycomb wich is working great.

Sure, but if you're only going to use official ROMs, no need to be on XDA. XDA is for folks who use custom ROMs; we honestly don't care what the official firmwares do (except when we need the proprietary drivers for the camera.... ahem...).

You were at Google IO and are complaining about waiting for official updates? People there were rooting the tabs during sessions and the roms came quickly after that. It was free and little was said from them about supporting it during or after the event.
I would abandon mine for a quad core Sammy with the Wacom digitizer in the Note but until then I'll just keep flashing.

New Here - Just bought a K1 for $150

new to the lenovo tablet game, came from acer a500.
picked up a brand new k1 32 gig black for $150. now how do i root and install ICS? this 3.2.1 is yucky!!!!
thanks guys

okay so it was amazingly simply to upgrade from honeycomb to ICS, took about 5 minutes of research. now rooting is the next step. still looking for that root..
ok, well that didn't take long to install ICS with CWM and root. damn this lenovo is so much easier than the acer a500.
this device is pretty nice. the back plastic is bugging me tho. will get a nice case for it.

It is a really good tablet! As far as cases go I got a nice one off amazon for bout $20.
Enjoy!

is there a kernel to overclock the rooted ICS version?

I haven't seen one. I know krook1's CM10 ROM will have overclocking in V5

There's a kernel over at Krook's jb CM10 thread.
Where did you get that tablet for that price?

it should be, because they have a new one coming up soon i guess. thats why they want to clear stock

Good choice mate. There are already two great guys working on Jellybean Roms for your tablet. It's a nice machine, but it's creator stopped supporting it. God bless Khanning and Krook for their work.
