[Q] What's the difference between ICS and Honeycomb? - Acer Iconia A500

Yesterday, I was just simply looking for ICS ROMs. But I don't really know the exact differences from android 3.2. Could someone tell me the differences between ICS and Honeycomb?

HC3.2 exist, ICS don't as yet for our tab...
Some developement for ICS but not a usable everyday rom available...

Really .. YOU REALLY HAD TO ASK THIS..
Honeycomb.
A honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by honey bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen
IceCream
An ice cream sandwich is a frozen confection composed of a layer of ice cream, usually vanilla[citation needed] (but not necessarily), "sandwiched" between two biscuits/cookies or slices of cake, usually chocolate.

Bro....don't make fun of the "Kknickerbocker Glory" MOD! That was by far the best MOD out for the A500 to date!

In the past when I was running my IBM Personal Computer (Mk1) the really hot mod was "Banana Split" that swept all before it.

The difference, is about 11 months.... more or less mind you

Erica doesn't wear Knickers.... trust me

OMG Pick on Erica Day.
Giggles..
Im so sorry NOBBIE.
kiss kiss ..
But Really the difference is clearly written out in my post.. i search the internet for the meaning of each..
SO BLAME IT ON THE WEB..
not the messenger..
and nobody on this forum have any idea about my nickers . Trust me.. Especially any men .. EEEEKKKKKK..
WELCOME TO XDA NOBBIE .

hmm lets see if we're talking generalized changes from 3.x to 4.x then theres too many to count.
highlights of the OS are it's built for dual core optimization
it unify's the OS both phones and tablets will run 4.x
optimization of the cpu/gpu and better memory management
Far better battery life (atleast when compared to 2.1/2.2/2.3 tests based off personal experience with Galaxy S phone)
Better User Interface IMO though this one is hit or miss, you like it or hate it.
it adds alot of the customizations i've grown fond of in CM and Miui but keeps a more Stock look.
BIGGER as far as the phone rom goes it's almost 2x the size of Gingerbread. haven't looked as rom file comparisons coming from honeycomb to ics though.
And thats about all i can think of without running it on my tablet i can really only base this off my experiences with my galaxy S and Galaxy Nexus phones. but hopefully thor or blazing get us a stable 4.0 for the tab before acer does then i can play with that.

Ice Cream Sandwich

Anybody watch the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich? I did, mainly to see what ICS was bringing to the table.....I'd be lying if said I found anything about it groundbreaking or innovating. Mostly minor changes, nothing to really write home about. I do like the look of it though, can't wait to get a device that utilizes it.
I missed the show can u tell me what happend?

They just announced the arrival of Ice Cream Sandwich and that Samsung phone. Nothing really groundbreaking here but the interface looks very nice, has a classy feel to it and some much need functionality now built in, like data usage and an updated "contacts" app that now lists said contacts recent updates from linked social networking sites. It's also got "face unlock", a feature that uses the camera and it's face recognition software to unlock your phone.

I do too, I was just hoping for something more innovative and groundbreaking. I think I'd get a GSII before the Nexus Galaxy now, it's got a better GPU. I can't believe after all this hype and buildup that they would come out with a device that is seeming a step back from the recent GSII as far as cpu and gpu are concerned. I don't get it.

Official promo video Galaxy nexus and android 4.0:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_ke3rxopc&feature=player_embedded
From Engadget:
Okay, so we've already seen Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Nexus S, but that was decidedly... unofficial. We've just heard straight from Google's Gabe Cohen that the Nexus S will definitely be getting ICS. In fact, both he and Matias Duarte think most Gingerbread devices will see an upgrade, saying: "Currently in the process for releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S. Theoretically should work for any 2.3 device." It's hardly a surprise and there's no specific word on timing just yet, but hopefully it won't take long to move that vanilla Android device up to something with a breaded exterior.
According to ciwrl on the cm forums it usually takes 3 months from when the code drops for a release. Now we are officially supported by cm we will hopefully get it on our x10s!

Trolling to samsung

I want to troll hard to samsung because of ICS. They lost their best customer. 8-10 people brought samsung android devices because of me.
I will get a xiaomi mione or never android again. Microsoft releasing updates regulary. Stupid apple too.
And look gingerbread. Samsung cutted some properties from froyo to release gingerbread too. GPU drivers just sucks on gingerbread. There is no daily briefing now. Ram is smaller. Radio is mono. Why?
Now wifi drops problems (phone fc fixed new). Etc etc..
Now I can't make my phone working because of samsung. Cyanogenmod has small bugs which I need for now. Now what will I do with my powersgx540? I want to swear hard to samsung!
Why stupid xperias (even more and more and more and most bloated phones in market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) gets ics?
If samsung was a man, so they must release a vanilla ics to their flagship phone! Just for respect to 20 million users!
AM I NEED TO BE MORE RICH THAN APPLE FANBOYS FOR USING LATEST ANDROID?
I´ve postet on Samsungs G+ Page ...
Here you can see what a few Nerds can do in a few weeks! This was my last Samsung Device!!!

[i9001] Official ICS info from Samsung

Samsung has said few days ago, that he would not update Galaxy S due to lack of memory for ICS and Touchwiz altogether. Today, there's a new info from our 'favourite' brand:
In spite of Samsung's best efforts to bury the news by reporting it a couple of days before Christmas, Friday's disclosure that the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab won't get upgraded to Android 4.0 drew a lot of justified ire. Now the company seems to be backtracking like a champ, as reported by ajnews in Korea, by claiming that it will review the viability of updating those two devices in response to strong customer demand. While restating the difficulties of fitting its entire software footprint onto the Galaxy S and Tab's limited memory capacity, Samsung has been quoted as saying it'll investigate ways to try and make it work. We've reached out to Samsung for official comment on the matter and will update you as soon as we hear back.

So? I dont care....theres will be more custom rom for it...
|Post from XDA premium app
|BroodRom RC2 Beta
|Instanet Free Access (no one believe its free)
good news ..!!! I hope we will get it.
i dont care either, samsung cant make a good smooth rom for galaxy s+ at all,
custom roms are always the best choice for us,
ics 4.0 will be ported to galaxy s+ sooner or later but one thing is clear, ported 4.0 especialy for galaxy s+ will be well optimized,smooth and fast and low memory issue will be solved
support our gr8 dev.team
regards
I know that, but for now on there isn't many custom roms for us. broodROM and Cranium, and the newest stock ones to flash. I appreciate their work, but they are based on the stock ones. and with ICS, that's a different thing to port it. and unfortuantely, I haven't seen much of a chance for the CyanogenMod or smth like this with ICS for our S+ yet. hope it will change.
c'mon guys. don't say u don't care. when samsung has decided not to release ICS for us you guys were complaining, now that samsung is reconsidering, you guys said i don't care?? yea right..
no matter we have custom rom or not, I would love to try out the official ICS.
and like the above mention, our dev is so poor that till this date there is so little choice of rom. how can u be so sure there would be ICS port for us? and if that didn't happen, u guys will be complaining again saying samsung is bad bla bla..
just be greatful jezz
I think it will be awesome!!
i saw only galaxy s and tab, why you are thinking that s+ is included into this list?

they never mention anything about i9001, this phone is like forgotten, in both Samsung and devs world. I just hope that when they mention Galaxy S, they think also about S+.
well guys.
my opinion is a little bit splitted:
in the one hand, i have my phone since september and i read the forum carefully and at this time the forum was very dad, the wasn´t a root anyway!
in the other hand:
our phone is getting very big. here in europe it is selling very good, because you can buy it with the price of the i9000 and it is better then the i9000.
i think it will grow but it will take alot of time, maybe we will reach at march a respectable community....
but only maybe
if all goes wrong we will stuck on only to custom roms...
i think we have to drink our tea and just wait.....
sry for my perfect english

we can make use of other ports, like those from DHD/Xperia Arc S/I9000 , combining stuff from those 3 builds i'm pretty sure we can get a booting version with main things working.

The main thing we are stuck is that this phone is totally forgotten. Except in China. No one is interested to develop anything for such piece of a device. There would be so useless number of users for those roms and mods.

[Discontinue][Understand the fact] To FXP

Dear FXP,
Thank you very much for making awesome Cyanogenmod rom for us. I know you guys are tired of many devices and you stop developing CM10.1 for us. But why don't you just leave CM10 and start developing CM10.1. I know that making another version of Cyanogenmod from scratch is hard. However, you have all the source code that you need for developing Jelly Bean already. I know it's an upgrade form 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 but things isn't much much much different like jumping from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich. The hardware of the Xperia arc/S isn't bad at all but it's pretty much out date. But it can handle Jelly Bean just fine and a lots of people are still using it. I hope you could understand. Maybe you should even stop developing CM9.1 for 2011 xperia line because most people will go with the latest and greatest. And please don't get me wrong i'm not forcing you to develop or complaining about you. I'm just wondering if you could continue helping us. I'm looking forward to hear from you.
Sorry for my bad English!
Edit: Our phone can't keep up with the latest software and like they said "What's the benefit of having latest android if your device is not able to use new features?" and spending 6+ month developing new kernel for 2 years old phone is not worth the work.
See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34340971&postcount=3891
now days problem its too old kernel

Let's hope it's not a mistake of Samsung Thailad
This would be nice, as 4.0 is starting to feel kind of dated after using 4.2 on the Nexus 10. I still love my 7.7 and think it's still the best 7" yet (price notwithstanding), but an OS update that isn't buggy as hell (apologies to devs working on the 7.7) would be a new lease on life.
..
Other people quoting back to the same potentially wrong source is not a confirmation......it's just noise.

What i remember the last 4.1 jb is 4.1.2 b4 they move to 4.2
via Galaxy Tab 7.7
As noted in the related thread, I'll believe it when I see it on my tab
As noted in the related thread about updates to the 7.7, I'll still believe it when I see it running on my i815. Until then it's just rumor and a possible source of frustration (for me) because I have seen and used JB (on a Nexus 7 that I formerly owned) and enjoyed the goodness that was rolled up in same.
I really want to hope this news is true and that we'll all get it eventually, but eventually may be a long time off in the future and if so, well, I'm not sure I have the patience.
Not so certain. And here's why:

Much as I am hoping for the best, I am not so sure this is the news we are all waiting for.
I am an expatriate living in Thailand. My partner is Thai and he's reasonably technical. He owns a Galaxy S3 and an 8.9" tablet. I showed him that status table from the web page that you are speculating about. I did not show him the Google translation that you are pinning your hopes on. But I asked him what the status for the 7.7 means.
He said that the wording was poorly chosen and could be interpreted many ways. In other words, a fluent Thai reader could not look at that status message and walk away with certainty about Samsung's plans. It could mean anything from "confirmed" to "to be confirmed." (The latter possibly meaning that Samsung HQ has not yet determined a decision.)
We can tell you that Thailand users did receive an OTA update for the Galaxy S3 in the past couple of weeks. So the date for that product, stated in the Thai Buddhist calendar system, is correct.
Great news !!

The thing is, even if the rumor turns out to be true, Samsung really dropped the ball on updating this device, for legal reasons or otherwise - doesn't matter.
It would have to be the latest and greatest version of jellybean for me to even consider upgrading.
Where Samsung failed, the development community stepped up and have offered superior alternatives to what Samsung is bringing to the table.
Or hasn't to be more precise.
This is a terrific tablet and Samsung has failed epically to capitalize on its potential as a higher quality device in a sea of average tablets. And they feed this mediocrity by saturating the market with 50 versions of the same plastic garbage they are so well known for producing.

Since ICS came out I stopped using AOSP roms, no need, and some Samsung apps are very good...

Of course Jelly bean is even better :good:
So in what you use your tablet for on a daily bases JB is better then ICS ?
I use ICS on my 7.7 and JB on my Note. Frankly for daily and normal use it's the same ****..
Problem is I have developed a odin phobie, the previous time I attempt to flash to hc, the mainboard is dead. By the time JB is out, the warranty will be over.

the legal reasons are gone. and this the best tab in specs so far for its pretty display and built quality.
even with dual core the tab performs well enough in the high end game, no reason for not support with JB

This is probably because you don't need o have decent battery life
The JB custom ROM just don't provide as much battery as Samsung's ROMs

JB is a bit more customizable and smoother on the SGS3, should be the same on the tab
