The Fascinate hasn't even had an official Gingerbread release let alone Gingerbread source code, and you're wondering about ICS source code? Wonder how long it's going to be before we have flying cars. Let's keep a realistic perspective on things.

I sincerely doubt we'll ever see ICS for this phone. Since the Fascinate has been discontinued from VZ we'll be extremely lucky if an official Gingerbread will ever see the light of day. They originally said the Incredible would get GB but now they'be said it won't, so I'm not holding my breath.

ICS isn't really "out at least in development". You can check in the SDK Manager yourself to see that it's not out in development. The only thing out there are some heavily edited screenshots, lacking a version number, that were leaked, and might not even be real!
Don't expect official ICS to ever come (as already been said). At best, there will still be some developers still around that pity us enough to port an ICS rom to our phone.

via CyanogenMod definitely. If you're expecting an official release by HTC I wouldn't hold your breath as we have yet to get the 2.3.3 sense kernel source.

more "ice cream sandwich" spotlight!!!
ICE CREAM

Just read the interview w/Andy Rubin. They said they'd open source ICS "a couple weeks" after the Galaxy Nexus's release =)

HTC has said they are looking at ICS and will determine what they will do, because most of the features that make sense great has now been added to ICS. Could be they don't update any of their old phones, and they come up with something totally new for all of their new phones going forward. If they would put sense as it is now, they would cover up a lot of the new great features of ICS. Just a thought.

I can't find anything regarding a version of CM8. I also can't find any CM versions of honeycomb. I have found CM7 with some honeycomb elements, however. Did Google ever release Honeycomb source into AOSP? That is the only place CM goes to build their roms.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know CM was going to skip a number, since the HC source was never released.
Edit: The link says "don't be surprised if they skip a number..."

Eh, weak wording. Try this:

Since this thread was made, i'd like to add my speculation, any of you who have deeper info are more than welcome to rectify it.
I'll start with what we all know.
CM7 (to-date) is not officially supporting our Samsung Epic 4G due to needing Gingerbread Source.
Mainly Decad3nce&JT1134, (with a few commits from Uberpenguin, Daemon & Noobnl) have brought us an unofficial version of CM7 aka a CM7 'Kang Build'
We're very close to the possibility of having CM7 official.
CM9 at the soonest, is planned to be available to officially supported Cynanogenmod phones, January 2012.
I'm not sure if bringing the Epic to 'official' CM7 means Deca and JT1134 will have the CM team to back them up, or just merit them the title of "official" but if its the latter,then the soonest we should see an official early ICS is 2 months after our epics become Official CM7, and not when the other devices get them in January 2012. This of course is just me thinking here. With all of Deca&JT's work prospering, and the future merges they'll be doing, we may just see an ICS CM9 working build like the other offical phones of CM.

If I understand correctly, Honeycomb was "released" in that at least some of the code is included with the ICS source. Google has indicated they won't release a vanilla version of the Honeycomb source because it never coalesced into a finished product.

Honeycomb by their standards wasn't a finished product. Had it been finished the way they wanted Matias and Hiroshi to go about it, ICS would have taken on a very different look than the final product we have now. Because HC would have been what ICS is.
Sent from my Epic 4G

There's also the fact that honeycomb was not MEANT to be a phone platform. Google has said from the beginning it was optimized and intended for tablets.

This is exciting news indeed. I loooovvvee CM. I installed CM7 with the Green Machine theme on a friend's Optimus V and I was oooing and aahhing as I was poking around to see what it had going for it. I tell her all the time that I'm envious of her because I did 2 things on her phone that I so far cannot on mine: Install a fully functioning and stable CM version, and get data2ext/data2sd working on my beloved Epic.

[INFO] Google´s next Android OS "Jelly Bean"

Close on the heels of Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt announcing the arrival of the upcoming version of Android OS termed Ice Cream Sandwich in October or November, speculations have started on the next version of Android.
According to a report citing trusted sources in 'This is My Next', Jelly Bean is the working name for next incarnation of Android.
The name follows Google's tradition of calling its Android operating systems after sweets in alphabetical order. Earlier versions of Android follow a typical order -- Cupcake 1.5, Donut 1.6, Eclair 2.1, Froyo 2.2, Gingerbread 2.3, Honeycomb 3.0 and the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich.
The report quotes industry source saying, that the "game-changing stuff" that had originally been scheduled for Ice Cream Sandwich will be being pushed to Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean could be dubbed Android 4.5 or Android 5.0, depending on the amount of features packed, says the report.
Ice Cream Sandwich is expected to be a universal operating system that will work on phones, tablets, TVs, and even phones that transform into laptops. Among other things, the OS is likely to bring an updated app launcher, holographic user interface, interactive and new homescreen widgets and a multi-tasking panel.

Not much information there, besides the name "Jelly Bean". Has that been known already?

Anyone get the OTA yet?

I thought ics was the game changer os? The one that was push back from gingerbread ?

The holographic user interface is still being shopped around huh? That junk was being hyped up pre-honeycomb release too.

Doubt it we will see that on nexus s
Maybe the nexus++ and galaxy nexus

Google hasn't even commented on Jelly Bean so how are they hyping it? In fact, I think they toned down the ICS announcement because apparently a lot of stuff was pushed back to the next major release. And Gingerbread was definitely the first release of Android that Google could really be proud of.

Yes, but only those operated in the northeast corner of North America and the southern half of Argentina, for the S. The 4G will receive the update directly after 4.0.3 is pushed out, and only in Bosnia.

I don't know but in my opinion, Nexus S is already full squeezed with ICS, so JB probably would be too much for Nexus S hardware.

Depends what Jelly Bean will be, a more optimized build with couple smaller addons or more HD content oriented OS.

Rumor? Not official? I've also heard that Jelly Bean will be 4.1 and won't be a huge change or require any additional resources?

I'd agree that it will probably be 4.1, but Google can't just sit back and not make big changes. I expect huge news. Its the 5th anniversary of Android. There are rumors of 5 nexus devices. Windows 8 launches around the same time, as will ios6 which will probably have significant changes. Google can't sit still and pull a gingerbread type update.

There's nothing to say the new os will require any higher resources or more space though. Especially since everything about it is rumor.

That's what I heard also. Since 4.0 was a major UI change from previous versions of Android im sure whatever is next, whether it be 4.1 or 5.0, will just be small changes with few new features at the most..

Google can't keep making gaping changes without further exacerbating the fragmentation problem. I'd more expect Jellybean to be 4.1 than 5.0.
It'd be stupid of them to spend all the time overhauling the interface for ICS only to overhaul it again. The mass market doesn't like change in the interactivity of the device.
I expect far larger enhancements in usability. Further enhancements to ICS social network integration. Better syncing and integration with google drive (camera syncing). Maybe Google Chrome integration.
Sounds like the bulk of the focus will be buying from Google directly (maybe all carriers?)
