[Q] ROM Ice Cream Sandwich?

So now that Ice Cream Sandwich has been revealed and SDK available for download, I'm curious (1) when we can expect ROM based on ICS and (2) ICS is button less, so what happens to our phones with buttons?
(Benefits of rooting is that we get updates sooner than manufacturer updates, true?)

It's still a process and lets keep in mind that the SDK will lead to ports, the source code will lead to true ROMs.
So that's still dependent on Google.

I'm assuming source code has not been released, based on previous releases... how long does google take and release the source code after announcement? I'm really loving ICS, cant wait.

Already flipping through the apps. My theme is going to have accurate icons soon.

Will we get ICS... yes. When? Based on Samsung's upgrade history I would guess once the next android is announced, which I am sure will be jelly something. Look at the OG epic... samsung JUST released GB source code for it, yet still hasn't release GB for it. Basically Samsung lags behind a release when upgrading phones.

well heres an idea of what sense ics will be/is

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403859
capychimp got his hands on a sensation ics leak (4.0.1)
and no...i dont think its easily or even possible to port to our phone (we dont have a sense ics kernel, and it would need to be resized in m10 and i dont know that m10 would work with it)
but interesting that the stock launcher changes so much

looks interesting

Nice. I wanna try really bad lol.

I'm sure someone will figure something out. I posted the link to capys thread over at newts place. I'm hoping he'll take a look at it. He may get drellisdee to hack around on the included kernel to make it work.
Either way, now that this is out, we should see more ports soon.
I was kinda hoping it'd be sense 4.0 on it though instead of modified 3.5. We have 3 versions of 3.5 now??

So far Aero has only messed with AOSP that I know of, but he seems to be a kernel genius that's for sure. I mean her hacked up gb kernel stuff and made it work with ICS. Freaking. Genius.
Lets hope we'll see it soon. I wanna play with it even if there's no theming yet lol. (I say that cuz I'd want a different status bar since its ICS and all. Maybe ICS icons but in white. )

its my understanding that htc doesn not automatically update ur sense version with ur os update
for example i think the og inc is still on sense 1.0 officially on gb
im not even sure if the sensation on gb is officially still sense 3 or had been upgraded to sense 3.5...so i cant say if it was an upgrade or the same
id imagine htc will save sense 4 for the launch of their next gen ics phones

I'm sure. If you look at it though, the screenies say 3.5. Thats all we have to go by at this point.

Ugh horrible. Doesn't resemble vanilla ICS in any way which is a shame given the work Google's done on it. I was a fan of Sense back in the Froyo days, but now that stock Android actually has some style to it and looks very good, I can't see myself ever returning to Sense.

Oems were always going to heavily customize the.os
Don't see why ics would be any different
That being said, this is clearly an early build....not new sense sense 4.0
So let's see how that turns out

Looks cool. it would be pretty nice if the DInc2 got this

The folder of sense 3.5 is not very well

He's right. Idk if you guys have seen it yet, but Sony already has alpha ROMs for the xperia devices. Its definitely modified ICS. Typical Sony overlay.

yup, the sony roms dont look any different than froyo/gb and neither does samsung's touchwiz ics
the major ics changes that i like though seem to be present in all 3 oem leaks, which are the settings changes and the under the hood stuff

Pure ICS Rom

I was just wondering if there is or if anyone is working on a pure ice cream sandwich rom for this phone. I would love to have pure ics on this device. I love the look and feel of it it. I had it on my mytouch 4g and I am really missing it. Thank you~

Nope.

The closest are going to be CM9 and AOKP. Check the Development forum and you should see them there. They're pretty similarly progressed at this point; both almost daily drivers, but still have issues with video recording, YouTube and Flash.
Didn't know why blackangst just said no, but then I realized his name is blackangst

None are Daily's @ this time.

Imho none of them are daily drivers for me #1 call echo is horrible no one wants to talk to me ,and they tell me to call them back from another phone"$500 and imagine that, # 2camera and video are nice feature to have on a smart phone " you wont get both" ,"you will probably not have neither until cm9 updates".
and #3 good old phone freezes and reboots and those always happen when you need it the most.
So if you don't care about any of those issues flash away. If you do then just sit tight and keep a eye on these two threads they will probably be the first to bring you AOSP.

Voice to text!

right now I am on Caulikins 3.0 my question is is it possible to have the voice to text feature from ice cream sandwich on a gingerbread rom? you know where it doesn't stop and you can keep talking and it will keep printing text? or is that just a feature built into ice cream sandwich?

Use a personal assistant app like VLINGO or EVA.

I was actually talking about the speech to text on the ICS roms its so cool, you talk till your finished then click done. I was wondering if thats something we could port over to a gingerbread rom?

Why is everyone still so obsessed with gingerbread? Just use an ics rom if it has what you want.

Because its more stable... And is that really necessarily helping. I took a dump today that functioned better than ICS.

I see everybody bashing on ICS in terms of stability and throughout my testing of at least 26 of the 32 leaked versions that I have tested out; it has been as stable (save for a few bugs) as EL29.

+99999 They are quite stable. Yes there are a few bugs, but i haven't seen anything "broken" in a long time. I've been on ICS since fb21 leak and don't think I could go back to GB.

Umm, aren't you guys gettings a little off topic. I do not think it really matters if someone prefers to stay with a ROM that is deemed stable AND safe. Didn't mean to pick on you Killa, just grabbed the last post.

Hey David, I use both of Calk's roms. How do you use the VTT in ICS do you remember? I don't know if that will port over but I'd like to check it out to see if it's possible maybe.

if I remember correctly I c s just uses voice search a different way, gingerbread give you a time allotment that you have to speak in. I c s does a different way and basically gives you all the time you want. and just to clear a few things up I love ice cream sandwich. but I want to be as safe as possible and not brick my phone. so I am just waiting for the ota to come out. so I am not bashing ice cream sandwich at all. I actually have ice cream sandwich on my daughters in my wife's phone.

I cannot get mine to work that way on Calk's 1.5 ICS rom. But about the only thing I use voice to text for is while I'm using the swype keyboard, navigation or a basic web search. It doesn't stay open there, should it?

Ah found it! It appears to somehow be integrated into the stock samsung keyboard only. It does not work in Swype or the HTC_IME mod input methods.
Edit: And unfortunately, I don't think the ICS stock keyboard will work on Gingerbread.

Jelly bean on supersonic?

I know you guys are still working on ICS for the supersonic but is it even possible for jellybean to be ported over? I know its been ported to a more powerful Galaxy Nexus.

If it is at all, ICS took some months before stable ROMS started showing up, so it would not be something you can expect right away

It isn't! Just think when we were on 2.3 and we got that upgrade to 2.3.4 and then 2.3.5 and 2.3.7
ICS and Jelly Bean aren't that far apart.......there's only about a dozen new features that make Jelly Bean different
I took a look at the framework-res.apk and a few other core apks and it looks like Google just added on to ICS instead of building Jelly Bean from the ground up BUT I'm sure someone will read an article over at Engadget and come in here and try to act smarter then me..hahaha

That explains why the GUI isn't as drastically different

So jelly bean is coming out soon but ics camera is not ironed out yet.
Why most ics roms still have still camera issues (FFC) or smooth video playback or even recording? hasn't the necessary files been acquired since google is planning on releasing JB?
I just dont understand. When can we have ICS camera that works like GB cameras?

Miui got the camera to work on their ics roms
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

If miui got the ffc working on ics then it's probably not an hwa ics rom

The most common misconception among noobs is that developers are not working on fixing bugs just because they don't have a WIP thread or they're not updating you every 5-10 minutes. Most developers like to keep things private until they get ready to release it :good:
Another one is that, things are real easy like just swapping the camera.apk from a rom that has it working to another one in order to get things working...hahahahhaa
There's also priorities! Fixing Temple Run or instagram is usually at the bottom of the list when it comes to bugs for a developer....don't expect a developer to drop everything he or she is doing so that you can share pictures of your cat on instagram
The reason the FFC isn't working yet is because is not as easy as some of you guys think it is! This becomes even harder for a device that's EOL....instead of asking WHY is not working, you could be asking....what can I do to help the developers make it work!
Having ICS (4.0.4) with a working camera and HWA on a device that's 2 years old and was made for froyo/gb is an achievement on it's own! Instead of asking why things aren't working and possibly turning this thread into YET ANOTHER dev bashing thread, let's be thankful that we have the developers we do Things could go downhill if we start acting like iPhone users and start complaining because things are not fixed fast enough or when we want it......let's just chill out! Things like the FFC will come in time.......remember how long it took for us to even get HWA!
Also Jellybean will come sooner or later, someone will port it! I'm almost sure that it will come......whether that's Team D.I.R.T or Diablo or JMZ or some random dude that we've never heard of...IT WILL COME!! Now, let's stop with the GIVE ME NOW attitudes!
I'm not trying to sound all high and mighty here BUT it bothers me to hear people say "why hasn't this been fixed yet" or "the EVO 3D has this working, why can't we get it done" but nobody wants to step up and help out? Everyone wants to ask for ETAs and ask what's taking so long or demand every feature they can name on a rom BUT I don't see too many people offering to help.......just saying!
FYI guys, things like this can't be fixed by just swapping apps around or downloading an app from the Play Store.....I heard some guy (to remain nameless) say "why don't we just get the camera from the sensation so that way we can get FFC going" and almost died laughing...hahahahahahaha

I would **** my pants if someone got jb running smooth on the evo with almost everything working
