Not before we have ICS.

Running great for me on Thors ics. Google tegra owners forum, that's where thors ics lives. Camera don't work but every thing else is great.

Like was already said, not till we have ICS. To add to that though, even if it is possible to make it run on Honeycomb, it would probably run crappy. Chrome for Android relies on the hardware acceleration in ICS for page rendering, without that, page rendering will probably be horribly slow.

Looks amazing! Keep it up! Can't wait for a full ics build
WOOO! I can't even express my excitement over this!
Nice!
Keep up the good work!
BTW I have one BAD news for everyone! There is no Adobe Flash player Support in ICS!
Excellent!

Hmm...does that mean that even the current flash .apk file can't be side loaded on there and work?
I've got ICS running on my Samsung Fascinate. I will have to try this out and see if Flash still works.
Honestly though, over the past year, it's really evident that everyone is moving their video away from flash on over to HTML 5. It's amazing how many sites now have made the transition. Adobe did the right thing and waved the white flag of surrender. It's good they are getting out of the way of innovation.
So no love lost for me on Flash.
I am really enjoying ICS on my Fascinate. There are so many little suddle, yet significant, things in there that really make it great. Hands down, ICS is the king of Mobile OSes.
Touchscreen now works. Thank you RaYmAn.

ICS 4.0.3 Beta 1 for the SGS2

Hey guys
I'm more of a reader than a poster but anyway, I came across a guy that has created a ICS Rom with the help of some guys on here I believe ???
Anyway the ROM is there for download and sees to be pretty close to a finished artical.
I guess go have a look give it a try and if it is as described then Happy New Year to everyone

Enjoy

Look at his build.prop, sais everything about this guy. Instead of crediting Teamhacksung for almost everything he took from them he just insults them in his super tuned build.prop.

Ok, thx
So, what the point of this thread?
well I guess theres some conflict here but as long as the Rom works and everyone that was involved gets a mention I'm happy. Surley thats the main thing right give everyone what they want, anyway thats enough from me, happy new year to you guys its there if you want it
Does the ROM work fine?
Any nitz and RIL issues?
All this slating of airbus360. However if anyone bothers to try his rom, it is much better. I've been using cm9 since the first alpha up to the most recent release. It was good, but not a patch on this. Airbus's rom is much smoother, especially when flicking between home screens. Its also a lot faster. So although he may have used Teamhacksung code, he's obviously incorporated a few improvements of his own. Before anyone criticises, they should install it. It's a step up from the current cm9 builds.

This is exactly the same as CM9, except it's not using CM9 launcher and quick toggles in status bar.
So, is this rom fully working? What remains to be fixed?
This is not a development thread, there is no development going on. So, moving this to general.

This is my whole point, if you bothered to install this, you would realise it is not the same as cm9. Don't listen to others and try it yourself. Its much smoother and faster

Noon Question. How to install this so called beta version. Help pls.....
Been using this since last night.
Basically, looks the same as CM9 minus a few modifications, yet the ROM is a lot smoother then CM9.
Battery for me is great, roughly 1% loss an hour. Removed all uneeded apps via Titanium Backup.
Ive noticed one slight problem with the incoming call screen, icons misplaced. BUT, Still can be used.
I've had No FC's either.
I do really reccomend this ROM

CM9 ics on galaxy note video

Thought u guys should see this video of cm9 ics on note... the developers hav done a very good job porting it for us..only a few things not working. Camera being the main one not working.. but it still looks smooth..fingers crossed
I am not sure but I am thinking that samsung will support us with stock ICS due to end of January and then we all can start with developing custom roms, the only thing is that we need a stock kernel for ics
but it looks very fast and smooth
Nice Video, Thanks for Sharing

i agree there, but i think stock ICS may come a little later.
one of the main reasons why im waiting for the samsung official version is because it comes with kernel 3.x (according to the leaks) whereas most of these modded versions are still using kernel 2.6.57.
Would be cool to run IOS4.2.1 on the Note, best and fastest OS for phones yet. Is this even possible since u can run MacOS on PCs now ? )

debating whether it's a good idea to flash CM9 or not for the gnote, even when it's in beta or stable build.
A lot of cool features in the note are build on touchwiz interface, and with CM9 i am not sure how good the support for the s-pen will be. But again... what's fun with an android if you cant flash the crap out of it

I think i'm in love with Touchwiz. I can't live without S-Memo, the brilliant video player, the camera interface, the excellent hardware-accelerated browser and the toggles in the notification bar.
That's why I'm moving back to KL7 from CM9.

incremental ics update xoom project

Here is a link to the ics update for the motorola xoom.
I have no idea if this is of any use to our developers but just thought it might in some way speed up the development of a fully working a500 ics custom rom.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-tervigon-IML77-from-HTK75D.71a21bfe.zip
there are already roms (or at least a rom) working fully except for the camera. Unless it has acer camera files, i doubt the xoom code will help much.

Am I the only one who would just love to see a community based repo for ICS on the Iconia, all GPL compliant?
I know it's not on Xda but just wanted to thank u guys for mentioning the ICS rom for the a500. It is by far the smoothest/fastest rom I've flashed on my a500. I'm just blown away at how great it runs. I could care less about the few things that need fixed. I'm now loving my Iconia. Thanks again.

No, he's got a ICS rom (Android 4.0). I'm running it right now and it's amazing. The best rom I've ever ran on my Iconia.
Yes he does have it I had 40 running for a bit but SPB shell doesn't run along with a handful of other apps I have bought ill wait till app developers get the kinks out..
He's been working on it since October I think so its pretty good Cam and vpn don't work as of now we need Acer to release alot to get everything the way it should be...

And you owe me personally, about well, a lot of beers. And not just any beer mind you, but I like really expensive beer
In fact, if one would calculate 12 beers per day @.5L per beer since the time he got HW Accel working, No green screens, and 85% of all functions working, you owe me about 457 beers, give or take. But I'm not greedy. I'll settle for an even 400 x.5L.
The Pure ICS rom 4.x, runs damn good. Only 3 or 4 things left. Most people are using it as a daily driver.
But now, "Iced" cube, if you don't come through with your wager, on open terms as you set, Well... that would be considered "welching" on a bet.
Welp, there goes my weekly wage...
I did say "a beer", not "a few beers"
'tis all good, i'll drop some money in the tin.
That aside.... Time to flash the ROM, then!

Youre flashing a xoom rom? That might be the problem. There is an ics build mostly functional for our device a few pages in to the dev forum (where we are) or you can google thor and try his which afaik is just lacking camera and rotation lock.
Which ICS rom is everyone running?

hello mate,
as you know everything will be better and run better with a more efficient use of hardware resources, a thing that android could not do anyway
but with FxOS maybe it will be done nicely, and after that FxOS has some cool iOS-like features :laugh:
