Lol perhaps I should make the switch...

I'm running beta1 of onecosmic and crew version, and I must agree : ICS on SGS is just plain great, and probably for most users usable as a daily rom, depending on your exact needs.
The look and feeel is really awesome, but many older apps feel clunky now !
Now if only Samsung could get there act together and offer to all SGS owner an official port .....

first betas afaik should be at start of december - so quite soon.
give ICS a try! running for a few days in my i9000B with minor issues only. You should have some experiencie with flashing before even consider to try
/me impatianlty waiting for the camera to work :|
ICS is quite astonishing, however its port for SGS is still in early BETA development stage so newbies should wait for the final release as it naturally suffers from some bugs. Devs are doing a great job and hopefully ICS project on SGS will be finished quickly... maybe it's going to be a Christmas present
Yeah, it is quite awesome. I think I can't go back I use gingerbread anymore.
I does run very well who needs samsung

'Hey guys, I've just ported ICS to the Samsung Galaxy S (that rhymes!), let me know your thoughts!'
'The what? Who's Samsung? :S'
I tried the ICS port for about 3 days, it running pretty smooth for a BETA, but... I came back to CM7.
I don't really see any advantages of the ICS compared to GB. The menus looks a bit fancier than GB, but I can't see any other advantages. Some apps don't work because they are not optimized for ICS, like facebook sync and some other apps. It still lags more than CM7 (for now). And I really like the toggles on the status bar on CM7, I cannot have them on the ICS port.
What do you guys like so much about ICS that you can't have on CM7??

ICS is the bigest android makeover so far and to say is not that different than GB is big understatement . I've been using android since Cupcake and ICS is the bigest change so far. And I,m loving it.

I love ICS as well, but there are many features of touchwiz that I find necessary, like the toggles in the notification bar.
I've been resisting it, but all the good things I keep reading about these ICS ports, I think I might have a go!
lol thats what I am worried about, so I am going to take everyone positive comments in for now.
then when ICS is close to being perfect (like official release version) i will make the switcharoooooo.
I have tried alpha6 version but i was missing FM radio so I switched back to official rom. I am seriously missing smart dialing in ICS. Is it possible to port it to ICS??
Many thanks to devs
Great work

I think it will be for xiaomi android phone only. There was not specified device yet.
i wonder from where they get half of their work.
But never mind that, i never liked their rom's so probably i won't be using this one also...
Just looks like this thread (i.e. facebook) regurgitated into a speculative blog post. In other words, pointless spam.
I don't think that the miui devs are able to make it work without the underlying stuff from the cm9 guys.
But i have to admit that im using the latest miui, because its just nice to look out without investing much time in tweaking the look'n'feel. I guess miui will loose a lot of fans when ics is out, becajse its so polished

In the same boat, NEVER had any ambition to try miui. Last week I gave the latest galnet build a try and wow! Most people wont bother to try (like me) but if you have 20 minutes, do yourself a favor and nandroid and try out galnet or regular miui.
Maybe there WILL be MIUI for some devices next week - there already are some really good Custom-ICS-ROMs for some devices right now...
Unfortunately, development for our device will take a little longer - mic during calls, camera, etc. aren't working yet, so there's no working code MIUI Team can steal!
Take a look at this!

CM9 Progress report

Read caefull dave ...he speculated by stating so will our device? Not our device......read...not rush my friend...
kinda sucks that Motorola Droid users are getting dropped.
But I imagined it was only a matter of time...
The hardware is starting to get limited.
But I wonder if a dual core phone will be the last phone I will ever buy?
It would take quite some time for the OS to exceed the power of a dual core phone.
I think there's a pretty good chance the G2 will be one of the first devices, based on this update.

The G2's SOC is based on the MSM7230 chip:

Surely it's down to how much CPU the apps use, rather than the OS ?

Well, Cyanogenmod himself owns a G2, so he'd be working on it personally.

I'm also very much looking forward to CM9 for the Desire Z.
All good things come to those who wait!
"The first devices that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30,"
Sounds Desire Z is surely had the arrow on the knee ...
Hope they got the graphical and camera driver developed better than the current ported/AOSP based ICS.
I posted this the other day in the CM7 thread in the dev forum :
Update on CM9 from Cyanogen (Steve Kondik) himself :
We've been seeing some alpha builds of CM9 for a few devices. Where are things at right now?
We’re working on adding a lot of new features ... the theme engine needs to be totally rebuilt. Overall things are going to be a lot cleaner. The CM settings will all be integrated into the stock control panel. Everything in it's place, where it should be. The hardeset thing about CM9 is that Google has changed so much internally with ICS. Issues with graphics drivers are an issue. We can’t even write a transition layer to use. We’re just waiting on Google at this point. I’ve ported CM9 to the galaxy tab 10.1, but with no hardware acceleration... well, it just sucks. A lot of things don't work. We're not going to release something at this stage of development.

Looks like it's not going to be very soon.
By the way, I clarified with Steve that it is not Google they are waiting on, but graphics drivers from official vendor ICS updates.

Thanks for the update, I have to admit though that I am becoming more and more impatient.
But, I know it will be worth the wait.
I have also been waiting impatiently for CM9, i've been a die-hard CM user since my G1...but a good alternative until they are done is Virtuous Quattro...right now at RC2, but it runs very well on my G2

I've been following the thread and there seems to still be many glitches in RC2. Does it run smoothly on your phone? Also does the camera work if u use a 3rd party app? I'm think of switching over to virtuous quattro
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium App
Virtuous Quattro is pretty cool, and once the display issues stabilize, it will probably get a permanent place on my phone unless cm9 blows me away.

I think I may try this one Monday. I had a replacement phone sent to me last week because of a display issue (turning shades of green and sometimes not waking up). The replacement they sent me is now going into a boot cycle when I try and turn on the WiFi, and it doesn't find any networks. Plus, I updated the stock Froyo to Gingerbread, and it looks like a pain somewhat to downgrade.
So maybe when I get the new one in Monday it will have stock Froyo and I can root and install the Virtuous Quattro ROM then.
Maybe you guys can answer a question since I am thinking about it now, if I do root it and everything with stock Froyo, do I just make a backup with ClockworkMod to keep the stock image?
my ics experience: virtuous quattro RC2, Andromadus Alpha 8, ICS Slim 1.2
I tried all three ICS ROMs on my G2 this weekend. Kudos to the devs -- they are all worthy projects. I am back to CM7, though while waiting for CM9 or a more stable version of the other three. Here is my feedback:
Virtuous Quattro RC2:
This is an impressive ROM, but definitely not RC -- the launcher display glitch is a showstopper if only for aesthetic reasons. I'm glad that the camera hack exists (progress!), but it's not yet usable, or at least not reliable. It often crashes, doesn't show preview until the second picture, and often corrupts part of the photo. Also, no wifi-calling which is a must have for many T-Mobile G2 users.
Andromadus Alpha 8:
This ROM is more stable than Virtuous Quattro in terms of visual glitches, but it lacks camera and wifi-calling. I missed some of the settings and features built into Quattro.
ICS Slim 1.2
This ROM performs quite nicely and is definitely slim. I missed the stock Email app, but it was easy to add back in by unzipping an ICS Gapps file. Wifi-calling is installed but not working for me. I was able to launch the app, and get the icon in the notification bar, but wasn't able to actually place or receive calls. Incoming calls were ignored, and outgoing calls would spin on dialing for about 20 seconds, and then end with a beep.

Same here I was thinking we'd see CM9 sometime in february but by the looks of things and how slow the development is, I can only hope for march/april
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if there will be a Miui android 4.0 rom for android tablets?
A few people i know are getting tired of the same ui from Tw, sense, and even vanilla honeycomb, and i personally agree with them, that it would be nice for a ui change

I'll work on it. I just finally got the epic 4gs miui.us into an official state, so I'll work on this too. Once there's a tablet that has miui.us ics I'll get it on ours. If a tegra 2 tablet gets it, it'll be a piece of cake.

Since 4.0 is the "universal android" there should be no need to wait for a tablet port, it should be possible just like porting older miui versions, with the cm9 kernel, libs, etc, although picking a native miui 4.0 device with the most hardware in common would be most beneficial.
Miui in galaxy tab would be really cool.
I havent flashed any roms on my tab yet, but this could be the one rom that makes me want to do it.
It should be somewhat easier now with miui being open source.

Its not really open source yet. There's nothing we didn't have before. They just decompiled a few apks which people can do easily. For now, idk what tegra files do what since I'm used to powervr so I may need to wait for a Xoom or tegra device to get miuiics first.
Am I missing something? Just came in to check new update but horrified to see the thread marked DISCONTINUED and closed!
Bad news?
read last 20-30 posts of the dev thread - it looks like note will get official CM9 very soon, so no need for Imilka's rom
Imilka was first of all never planning to release cm9. he made the cm9 build for his own love.. but he was not sure if he shoudl release it.
I had asked encouraged him.. he should
but not sure why he took it down. maybe he thought its unofficial. will ask him about it
btw, teamhacksung is already working on cm9 with custom open source kernel for the note.. so we will get an official build soon!
But shouldn't be discontinued until CM team makes a release. At least we have Imilka's ported ROM to keep us busy while waiting.
CM team SOON to release official galaxy note cm9 mod, Imilka's CM9 ROM early closure is a bad news still.

It should be discontinued whenever imilka feels like it
Anyway, his ROM is more than good enough to hold us over.
i think its his personal decision after all. he even discontinued the aosp thread
Waaahhhh I cannot get over to this feeling like the school I went just closed. You got what I mean? The feeling is bad.

Completely understand your feeling. Will miss Imilka's excellent work!
Since Imilka said he will support it at least untill it gets official support - and it's discontinued now - i guess it's getting official very soon. Would be nice if they incorporated some of Imilka's work on it though - was a good work right ? Would be a shame to toss it away.
Well, let's just hope to see official builds as soon as possible.
What ever the reason Imilka I thank you for your hard work. I enjoy flashing your roms on my note
No more CM9, no more AOSP... Maybe he joins the dark side? I hope not.
AOSP&CM9 ARE the dark side
Just got an update from Imilka.
He has discontinued cm9, because official version will be out soon, so he doesn't see a point working on it more
He has discontinued aosp, because its not used that much, as cm and aokp are more widely used,
so he doesnt seem there is a point in putting his energies here.
but he might be back soon with something else
Let's hope cm9 comes before ics for the note from Samsung
But very excited about this news

Usually I´m the „silent reader“ kind of user, but at this point I´m making an exception.
I just have to say „Thank you Imilka for your great work“
Hope he will be back when Samsung release Official ICS ROM ! Except he has sold his Note !

Me too! I used Imilka V8 and Imilka CM9 v02 anh I feel pleasent.
Accept one thing that Imilka miss that S-pen functions, the power of the Note.
Hope Imilka will be back with more powerful ROM with S-pen facilities.
Many thanks again.
Very sad to see it discontinued as well. Imilka's CM9 ROM was hands down the best ROM I have ever used on my Note (and I've tried a lot of ROMs!). I will continue to use v03 until we have an official port.
I only hope that it is soon... As Galaxy Note users, we have become far too accustomed to hearing "coming soon", only to be disappointed.
Looks like Entropy is making good progress though, so I remain optimistic!
