It looks like cynagenmod 9 ics coming to our device too.
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update
The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos
Also, if you scroll down and look at the comments:
"The kind folks over at RootzWiki gave us a unit to develop on, stay tuned (but don't hold your breath while you wait)"
after someone asked about Epic 4G Touch.

Cyanogen + ICS is all we need. Add ICS MiUi later too

Heck yeah. I know I did. The more choices the better IMO and having CyanogenMod only opens other doors.

God, I hope we get CM7 during the 7.2 update, I need to be rid of touchwiz already.

I have to agree. I am new to the E4GT but not to modding. I came from the USCC Mesmerize and it had CM7 and a pretty much fully functional ICS ROM. I was so used to AOSP that the thought of Touchwiz made me shiver. I do have to say that the Dev's for this phone have done some amazing things with Touchwiz though. Running Calkulins ROM and am truly amazed at how smooth it is. I would love to see an AOSP selection for this phone. If its anything like the Mesmerize then CM7 would be the logical choice to get working as it would provide the Dev's and solid MTD base to do ICS or CM9 off of. any way just my thoughts on the subject. I am very pleased with the Modding community for this phone. Looks like you all have some extremely talented Dev's. I look forward to what they release in the future.

agreed. sometimes i feel like using my evo again just so i can have cm7
Touchwiz is a launcher...it can be deleted, easily. I don't get the hate on touchwiz. I don't like it, so, I delete it and use another launcher. Its not like Sense.
I love cyanogen too, but, touchwiz has nothing to do with why.
...am I missing something?

+1........ TW4 is been pretty good in my opinion
Tw 4 has been fairly decent but can't wait for cm 7 and 9 to truly show what this phone is capable of.... it runs pretty fast with Tw when we get hardware acceleration in cm 9 ... wow

Lol TW4 is hardware accelerated as well. ICS just carriers the acceleration everywhere and deeper.

I personay feel that Touchwiz is OK. I just prefer a more pure Google experience. Now Touchwiz on the Galaxy S was horrible but this new Touchwiz seems pretty decent. But I welcome the chance to get an AOSP ROM on this thing and see what its truely capable of.

I don't understand the hate on TW either, it's just a launcher and I deleted it, I use ADW Ex so it never bothers me.

Twiz is more than just a launcher it is a complete is overlay. It changes some of the options in settings and among other things... I prefer also because I love how simple but intricate it is.

I wish this comes but I have serious doubts
Sounds like the CM9 team will get ICS on our E4T sooner than later
"The first devices that we’ll have ready will be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos."
Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to CM9. My last 3 phones had CM7 on them. Getting a little stale. At least running the nightly roms kept me interested. I got rid of my EVO at nightly 260ish. Damn that's a lot builds! I just flashed the ones people gave rave reviews of.

I'm not convinced that it's anything more than a launcher. Different things in the settings screens are a reflection of the rom so far as I understand it.
However I am open to being wrong if you have information to the contrary.

Edit: DONT FLASH THIS LEAK!
Wasn't made for the epic touch and a few have tried to flash but now their computers fail to recognize the device and are unable to revert back. Just a warning.
Hey guys. Forgive me if this has already been posted but I didn't see it in a search. Looks like the leaked early build of ICS has been leaked now. They say SMS, calling, internet and more work. Hope this can help our developers out!

Imagine touchwiz UI raped ics and won. This video made remember how ugly touchwiz is
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I would not get too upset. The fact that an ICS base is out there even with TW on it means that it will be easier for the devs to create a version without it
Looks just like GB. Fail... I'll just wait for the build theyre working on here in forums.
I think there should be an insanity wolf meme in reference to this.
Actually we will be able to port this as it has all the drivers then remove TW. Use your brains lol this is GREAT!

If someone flashes this on their E4GT let us know, it should work just fine as the international sdk ics port worked.

Omg the interface is soo ugly. What was Samsung thinking. Porting time. Lets go.!!.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
One of the main reasons of me wanting ICS is for that REGULAR ICS THEME AND DESIGN.
WHY WOULD I WANT TOUCHWIZ
I gotta get in. I know I'm not the norm but I kinda like TW. Ok now ya can start the fires. Let the flaming begin.LOL.
ICS 4.0 within Touchwiz
For the many who say they don't like 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich integrated with Touch Wiz on an Galaxy s 2 or other Galaxy s phones, you have to understand that it's a touchwiz phone which customers purchased stock.. therefor, why would samsung completely wipe touchwiz from the phone and only have stock android 4.0? what about the hundreds of thousands who probably like touchwiz and spent their good money just for that purpose? Just wipe it away from them without a choice? Come on, think people.
Now, if people want stock Ice Cream Sandwhich, clearly you'd purchase the galaxy Nexus on verizon or the international version or wait until a developer adjusts an ICS build which is mostly stock.
I mean, is the logic here incorrect?

Exactly touch wiz looks dumb retarded. Why would someone prefer that over the stock interface. And the pull down bar as well is completely ugly with ics. It reminds me too much of gingerbread and honestly I've had About too much ginger to digest smoothly ics just goes down so nice.

You say wait to buy or buy another phone. But you have to think of real life scenarios just like you mentioned in. Real life scenario not everyone have the bread to go waste like that just buying up phone after phone whenever they don't like something about it. Like really son if that was the case then who wouldn't have a galaxy nexus pre ordered off Verizon or something.

I like touchwiz on my Epic 4G Touch but I like the vanilla look of ICS better (getting the galaxy nexus tomorrow)
For the record, I like touchwiz more than any other UI, even Sense, and I've had the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D.

GSM =/= CDMA. Unfortunately.
If we get an ICS leak, then devs would probably be more willing to work on it from there. But Touchwiz ICS looks terrible. I'd make an AOSP theme for it if it looked like that upon release.

I think its funny how ppl wt samsung phones want sont launchers and vice versa.
When I fist got the sgsII I was like man Touch wiz is awesome,I dont know what everyone is *****ing about,but now Im like Tw huh lol
But the T-989 no regrets here it will be a while "I think" before I'll be looking for a newer device. The note is nice but im 5'9" and 150 lbs it looks like I have a 10" tablet on my hip
Do any of those launchers support ICS style folders? I'm running ADW launcher mostly for that reason. I don't really use the fancy transitions and all of that.

I am aware a lot of people are not HTC Sense fans; however the new Sense 4 looks pretty clean to me.
I saw this Sense 4 theme over at the Galaxy Nexus forum and was wondering if it would be possible to get it on the E4GT.

Sense is closed source so I don't believe it is possible to get the widgets, I am not sure, I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm.
Also I doubt this is in beta and if it is it won't be Sense 4, considering we don't even have a beta TouchWiz build yet. It may however be an alpha of Sense 4 or beta of Gingerbread Sense.
Back to the original (and much more possible) request. I like that theme, it looks very clean indeed. I give it a +1 for a port.
Sense 4 looks really nice and clean. I never really liked Sense on my old HTC Hero though.
Venum most likely Wont release til its Rom worth for the public.

I was a big sense fan back from HTC hero, Evo, And last Evo Shift. But i was sketchy on TW but i like it, still prefer sense UI over all. looks cleaner and awesome, moves very well but takes up a crap ton of phone space.
