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.

'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

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.

Can't wait
The initial excitement has well and truly worn off for me i dunno why but i got it into my head we would have it before xmas and im like meh at this stage, obviously ill flash it but probably about a month or two later the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be released and undoubtedly that will come loaded with ICS so that is the only other phone ill get asides from this, i haven't even flashed another ROM in about 7 weeks a record since i came on here, not even fussed anymore to be honest the phone is running fine as it is and unless something pretty remarkable appears before ICS i doubt i will.
Cant wait ladies and gents! Just hope samsung sneaks in an option to disable f ing touch wiz

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

hi all the awesome developers
do you think anyone will manage to get a working SDK port on our device?
and a question: if HTC wont release a kernel for JB for our device, we will get stuck without camera or we could use the ICS kernel?
thanks, and good luck at porting

I'm betting that AOSP ROMs should be able to be ported with just an ICS kernel, much of 4.1 is UI improvements rather than deep changes like 4.0.

Most likely not. There are many under the hood changes that will not work without the proper source but to be honest. Why in such a rush, The ICS source is still a few months away

4.0 and 4.1 is totally different from 2.3 to 4.0 so you're completely wrong here.
The answer is. It is possible but someone needs to do it and most developers have moved on.

We will see. The notification bar alone will require massive work. Not to mention the changes they added to the kernel to support the tegra closed source drivers. So we will see what happens when the nexus gets the update.
Not to mention few will use the sdk to make a rom

so, there is a fully working rom for the galaxy nexus.

btw porting from nexus is not gonna happen. jb is quite a ways off from dhd if at all. starting to push the limits of this old phone. and personally id rather have a perfect working ics coming soon than start up with another flakey and nothing really working alpha again.

we will have an official fully working ICS in a few weeks, and I think the AOSP ICS roms are good enough for daily use, so its just the right time to start working on JB!
It says here ........http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-jelly-bean-update-details-samsung-ram-98158/ ......that JB will be rolled out to 3 year old devices, some by July, and one of these is the Nexus S. So if the Nexus S will be capable of running JB we might even be lucky enough to see an official release for our DHD's by the end of the year maybe!!?? Atleast should get a decent port!! Looks more promising to see some Jelly Bean goodness than I first thought anyway!!

remember. ICS was released mid october, and we still dont have official yet :/
True, but ICS was a major change to Gingerbread whereas JB is supposed to be an incremental upgrade, so maybe if we do get it officially it will be a bit quicker getting to us than ICS!!?? Can always hope
LC said he is waiting for source, and then he will build a rom.
he also said JB is a small update to the source, so it wont be a problem to build a working rom. (or at least this is how I read it XD)
Our DHDs are due an official ICS rom in the coming weeks. Once this happens, surely it won't take long to get the camera fully working in ICS and JB update should merely be incremental. I'm not a dev though, so could be wrong.

Samsung won`t make updates to such "old" phones....
I'm agree with Lelex45, Samsung has forgotten this device... But there are a lot of "unofficial" very good rom here

Unfortunaly this won't happen. However like occ hio said, there are plenty of good custom roms. I own my i9001 now for 13 months, only the first couple of months of them I ran stock gingerbread from samsung. Never regretted that I turned to custom roms.
i think the custom roms that you can find here are a great solution
Yeah, get over it - JB custom ROMs are now for daily use IMHO, or you can just wait for the 3.0 kernel + few bugs fixed and it'll be close to perfection Cheers
Who cares whether they release it or not? Obviously the OP, but i doubt many others. We got the files, and the community. There's lots of custom ROMs that are better anyway..

There are less roms than every body always says there are. For the most interesting android version (4.1) there's cm10, and variations based on that cm10 rom. If you find bugs in cm10 that annoy you, there is no use switching to an other rom.
I gave up the hope of an official update from samsung, but it would be nice if they could provide up to date drivers. But I really can't image they suddenly changed their attitude. Samsung is a hardware manufacturer and they see very little interest in software (quite common in Asia. People invest in stuff you can hold in your hands, not virtual stuff like software). But on the other hand, I gave up buying samsung stuff so can't really expect them to do anything for me
There really no chance for this petition!

I remember that a time ago in a German forum people send many requests for ics to Samsung like a petition but it had no use. I think they said the device wouldn't be popular enough but not sure...
I think Samsung won't release JB for I9001 too. But give the best support to CM10 team!
If Samsung would release JB for such "old" phones, they couldn't sell so much oft their new devices. Anyway, i'm using cm 10 on my S-Plus, and in really can say it's much smoother than my wifes S3 mini.
no chance for this to succeed
