You think the ice cream sandwhich android system supports ideos.x5?
or can be supported with custom roms ?
The next version of Cyanogen will be based on ice cream sandwich!
Maybe we could not get the ICS, because Huawei will not creat the 3.0.1 kernel for X5.

With custom ROMs, sure! About official, not sure yet.

I highly doubt there will be official ICS. Huawei doesn't seem to be the best company at giving updates to our phones. Still no gingerbread and you guys are talking about official ICS.
EDIT: People should also read the forums rules. Development forum is only for rom, kernel etc development. So if you are not developing anything you should put these in the general section of the forum.
What is needed to be done to get the 3.0 kernel to this phone?
with custom roms supported.... k?
It's too soon to know.Source ain't out yet, right?

yes, right...
Then, as soon as the code comes we will be able to know which phones can take it.
It is my assumption that the U8800 will have some minor problems with it, if ram is an issue.I find no problems with the hardware though.If ICS has hardware acceleration on the browser and UI, our GPU can take it.I find no reason not tofcourse we will have to see what happens with the drivers, and what we need to change.
I am positive though.
Huawei Forums;
Senior Vice President of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Yu Chengdong: I see some friends who use the old product U8800 asking if 2.2 can upgrade to 2.3 version as their expectations and concerns. Huawei's mobile phone R&D focus to a more leading ICS 4.0 version, with the fastest speed for the main products directly to upgrade to 4.0, for which cannot be upgraded to 4.0 will also be upgraded to 2.3, unless some of the hardware capabilities are limited. However, Vision Honor and other new models provide the first public version 2.3, and then will be the fastly upgraded to version 4.0!
ideos x5
Vague bull***t... :/ Whats that suppossed to mean? After all these months of waiting for the "october relase of gingerbread" now we'll have to wait for a (probably fictional) upgrade straight to 4.0?
They just keep reminding us why they sell their phones so cheap dont they?....

Samsung has ICS SDK because the Google Galaxy Nexus Prime will be launched next month and will have the first phone with ICS.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM9RO-GAKjE
i think it will
i think it wont..
On this site, it says all newer devices HAVE to have the latest update for the first 18 months after they go on sale. I think our u8800 is new enough. (In Estonia available at August, announced in December 2010 worldwide?)
And, Open Handset Alliance members are here, as you can see, Huawei is there.
And I read somewhere that ICS should support >1 year old devices, so even if we don't get the official port, we'll get a custom one hopefully.
would be great to have ICS to x5
Samsung is reportedly going to upgrade its Galaxy series of smartphones to Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform by the end of the year.The Mobile Indian quotes a Samsung executive as saying the upgrade should be available within six to eight weeks from now. According to the Samsung executive, the Gingerbread update will be rolled out for entire Galaxy series of smartphones. The development comes days after LG announced Gingerbread update (Android 2.3)for its Optimus smartphones. Sony Ericsson also started rolling out Android 2.3.4 update for its Xperia-range of smartphones.

Because htc and sony did it...
I hope so but I think that phone is too short of everything to work smoothly.
The phone could easily run gingerbread and Samsung isn't really doing it for the customers anyway. It's doing it because the optimus and xperia range of phones are all being upgraded to gingerbread and Samsung doesn't want to look like they don't care about their customers.
Well I believe that history is repeating itself
When Samsung was going to release the 2.3 update for galaxy s and other at that time it released the froyo update for us. It may be that now ICS is coming up so they want to release an update here just for the sake of name OHH WE HAVE I UPDATE FOR EVERYONE!!
let the hopes never die my friendsssss

Samsung is going to ensure that all Android 2.2 Froyo running smartphones — Galaxy Fit, Galaxy Pop, and Galaxy Mini will get the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update before the end of this year. Apparently Samsung aims that all Android smartphones in India should run Gingerbread update

our G3 can easily run gingerbread and it will be smoother than froyo. phones with less specs are running GB
if the android os itself would be so demanding then phones wouldnt be able to handle apps on top of it.
g3 would probably be able to run icecream sandwich too but we will never be able to get it officialy.
mehh..
I have no doubt about g3 handling gingerbread, have seem the current CM7 port run on it.
but since the statement was made by an Indian Samsung executive, and clearly mentioned the newer mid-range (pop, fit and mini) that came out with the 2.2 out of the box, I am afraid samsung might decide to forget about the g3's which seem to be discontinued in the indian market, as this is clearly a strategy to sell more mid-range phones to the indian consumers, what with the launch of icecream sandwich, froyo would seem too outdated out of the box unless an update was promised.
Well no harm in remaining hopeful, but i am still taking this with a pinch of salt.
Dont think that gingerbread is going to come.... froyo update took much longer to come than promised and if gingerbread is going to come, it'll probably b very late
I believe Samsung will only release gingerbread to the galaxy phones that are currently being sold (tab, ace, mini and such), not to the old ones (3, 5...).
But even so, maybe it is still of some use if developers can put their hands on some drivers for hardware in those models that were also used on the old ones.
Does this mean we will get touchwiz 4.0? It is so much better than the crappy one we have and it's a lot faster and hardly any lag.

Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note to get ICS in March
The development of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note is obviously progressing according to schedule. The Norwegian branch of the South Korean company just confirmed that the update is due to arrive at the end of this quarter, which means that there are just a couple of months left before the wait is finally over.

Android 4.0 was officially launched at Ice Cream Sandwich release event on 19 October 2011.The source code for Android 4.0 became available on 14 November 2011.
Isn't it pathetic that Samsung cant release ICS update even for its flagship phone 'Galaxy S2' even after 3.5 months after the official ICS release? With the Android release cycle being 6 to 8 Months, 3.5 to 4 months is a long time for update release.
am I the only one that cant really see that many pro's to ics?? I flashed a few roms with ICS already and its not much different from gingerbread. Having the newest software is nice, but samsung really did a wonderfull job gingerbread.

+1, except that I never had any initial excitement really. Froyo to Gingerbread - while welcome - wasn't earth-shattering in terms of new functions etc, and I can't see GB to ICS titillating me immensely either. Very little I don't like about Gingerbread.
Been on the same ROM for 9 weeks, a new PB (have flashed updates though).
I'll just wait patiently for the SGS3 - Samsung would have to bork it quite spectacularly for me not to buy it.
Looking forward to trying this out, but not expecting the world to change.
Agree with the touch wiz comment.

Seriously?
shouldn't a leak arrive earlier? I mean maybe that release date is for kies, progress on the leaks has been quite good, or is it just wishful thinking
It's really pathetic for Sammy's, they're doing it so slow.
We all know that it will be just "Touchwized android 4.0", so why there is such delay in progress?
I would wait without single shout, if
they release it with tw5.0, but, probably, tw5.0 is saved for GS3

Well, touchwiz it is still better than pure ics who can't even make folders in the drawer.
I have a nexus and I still using go launcher, the contact section it is a skin, the functions are the same.
But if you want stock ics wait some weeks for a rom
It seems that Samsung is currently deploying ICS in Asia and Europe, the ICS release for Note is going to follow.
Hope this will help devs to release custom ROMs without this crappy Touchwiz
I see where ICS for the SGS2 released by sammy has already been rooted.
The first few "official" releases should have numerous exploits that allow for
root without too much trouble.
I'll just be glad to get root back. I screwed up on the last update and did it
from Kies and lost root and don't want to jump through the hoops of downgrading,
wiping etc just to get root back, knowing the ICS update will probably wipe it all out again anyway.

Touchwiz is Samung's way of branding their Android devices. If every manufacturer included stock Android in their phones, what would be the incentive to get one particular device over another, especially if the hardware of all high end devices from all manufacturers is almost identical? Unfortunately, if you want the stock Android experience you'll have to get a Nexus, or flash a stock rom built from the ICS source code. Can't have your cake and eat it too I guess..

Hello! I thought I'd start this thread just to see what you guys think about the current devices getting 4.1.
It doesn't look like Samsung have been pushing ICS too hard after its initial update. Could it be possible that they're working on 4.1? It looks like hardware isn't an issue .
4.1 will come right with the note 2. And maybe with enough outcry of the comunity we will get it too but defenetly after the note 2 release. Thats how it's been in the past....
Tweets from SamMobile:
- Android 4.1 for Galaxy SIII #sgs3 Q3 2012.
- No information about Android 4.1 for SII and Note yet. Both devices will see Android 4.0.4.
-----------------
When you talk about the Note, they need to solve brick bug problems and then maybe think about the latest version of Android. If you look when the ICS update arrived, I wouldn't expect Jelly Bean soon. Even if it comes, it will be crippled by the Touch Wiz.
I guess that CM9 will pack all those goodies from JB 4.1.
Even if it doesn't get an official 4.1, the note will almost guaranteed get cm10. Nice they are at least giving us 4.0.4 though.

Upgrade life cycle for Samsung is usually 18 months. The note was released in November 2011.
Jelly bean is being released to developers and operators in mid july, with first handsets and tablet (asus nexus 7) for release around October/November.
I reckon we'll get it as our final update. Pretty certain galaxy s2 is nearing the end of its update cycle around now.

It would be VERY odd if JB was not CM10, and against everything we have seen in the past.

If the kernel requirements is the same as ICS then Jellybean port should be quick and easy.
