I noticed that even though the ICS source code is now available Google only has Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G's internal hardware (CDMA/WiMAX, Orientation Sensor, etc) available currently. Is it possible to compile a working version of ICS using the Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G? Also, if I follow Google's compile instructions to the letter is there an easy way to backup my current stock ROM? Google's official stock ROM's for the Nexus S 4G phone has a script called "install-recovery.sh" that runs on boot removing Clockwork. Am I correct in assuming that ICS would do this if I compiled it myself per Google's instructions and flashed it to my phone?
My goodness ics is making people bonkers.

This isn't dev section material... And there are already working builds of ics if you don't want to go through the hassle of doing it yourself...
Although! If you do compile your own, then post it in our lovely dev section.
Follow the leader @corythug
I'd rather compile my own. As stated in my original post I just need a couple of questions answered first. Otherwise there won't be any new ROM's from me in your so-called lovely dev section.
This will be moved once a mod sees it, but, next time know this. People will be more apt to help you out if you put a thread like this in q& a or even maybe general instead of mucking up dev forum with a non dev thread.

Haha. That's so funny. ICS is making people mental.... you should see the Evo 3D section lol. We're pissed over there! Straight up riot.

OP, I apologize for the others lack of decorum on this site. I am afraid that I am not much help, but I have a couple of suggestions:
As far as the backup, you can make a nandroid and once you are done playing around you can reboot into the boot loader and use the fastboot to reload the recovery onto the phone. From there you can re-install the nandroid backup. Keep in mind that you might want to copy the backup off of the SD card just in case you need to lock/unlock the phone. (This erases the sd card.)

This keeps the thread up high
Far from the second page
Some things are common across the GS3 independent of the carrier but there are some that are dependent on the carrier. General accessories could all be grouped into one but carrier specific ship dates, etc, being jumbled all into one it's hard to find threads you aren't subscribed to. Looks like I need to subscribe to more but somehow mute tapatalk from notifications.

XDA isn't a carrier forum. Go to HowardForums or Sprint.com if you want that.
XDA is about DEVICES. The L710 is the same configuration no matter what carrier you're on. This is how it should be.
Back in my day, under the HTC Vogue, we supported both Verizon and Sprint, and we liked it.
I don't like it. I can understand things where there are overlap like accessories, but having a carrier specific forum for general was nice because we could talk about carrier specific topics.
I get what the admins are trying to do. Save server space from redundant threads....However, AFAIC it still sucks.
I like the way things are, but time will tell how much of an unholy mess it turns out to be...

dont they all have the same hardware? so wont roms made for one, work for all? with separate forums devs will have to make multiple redundant threads?
As long as people aren't ignorant this will be fine.

No, they will not work across each carrier, in theory they can. But I'm gonna guess each carrier has diff apps added. And diff framework icons. So the answer is no, they will not (radios get flashed outside of roms these days, no problem there).
Anyways this is related to the general section, development is still split, which is great.

And I guess you know what it means to have diff related things that arnt common between carries also right, that's why they split up development. And should have also made diff general sections.

Themes are diff across each carrier also, they should be split.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
no good especially since the forum names are the same as the internatrional sgs iii.
so in apps like tapatalk and xda in favorites you now have to forums where the names are exactly the same.
I think it would be better. Better development, better collaboration, pooling of dev resources.
Now it won't be noob friendly because I can see noobs already flashing AT&T Radios for a Sprint phone and bricking their devices.
I like and hate it. I think it was too soon to combine the General forum. These devices are still in a very volatile shipping status and until that clears people will be using the general threads to see if anyone has any updates. Clutters the whole process.
Yes Themes should be split. Were not talking Metamorph here. We are talking actual apk's and framework files. Xml diffs etc...
Why are there 2 development threads for the Nexus 7? I don't understand why there is original development and android development. Might be better to merge both threads.

Many older devices don't have the development to support the change. My g2x definitely doesn't.

truth. but some still do, both the galaxy nexus and nexus s still do. but I guess they are further subdivided already, for variants.
I've decided for now that I really like them being divided, each has its place. The sections are great although the threads aren't always in the correct section it seems to be getting a lot better.

i want to buy a new smartphone, i am thinking about buying the G2, so i was wondering if it has a cm version or not, i love custom roms am playing with all this stuff.
in the main page of the g2 there are a few android development forums, but i dont understand what is the device that the general and original forums are referring to.
thanks for the help.
There are separate developer threads now based on carrier. I would check there and if it's not there yet it might be in the future.

I think you mean the difference between Original Android Development and Android Development, not General. Just clearing that up for someone who might be able to answer. I don't know the actual answer myself. Sorry, man.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Original development is for things made from "scratch". Such as aosp Roms compiled by you, kernels, etc.
Development is more geared towards ports, building variants based on stock roms, and things of that nature.
