Nice to see ICS in LGO1 fourm, but do you think this will work on our devices?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Abhiroxx:
it will work :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DaXmax:
It will, google doesnt say it NEVER supports single core processor...

@ SWEATTAIMI yayayaya

Edit: Check out the latest ics fonts, go to themes and apps section now!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] abhi29:
ok great, ICS is awsm... Happy to see a post in op1 forum :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
I only like the settings menu and data usage in ICS, nothing else...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
I Pm'd Ciaox, so dont worry =) i wont only be working on it! :D

Dax; thanks for telling us =)

Everyone else im glad u like it!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
yeah, hell!!! ICS sdk is out!!!

But ...

as i've seen in the API changelog, its a long way to get all things work again.

a lot of changes in hardware code, lot of changes in UI code ... this means we have

to create a lot of workarounds again for our P500 device :(

and, the big question is:

can we use the user space drivers from gingerbread as we was doing this in ginger when porting from froyo??? questions over questions ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
If only all the devs in this forum can come together and work on the port...that would help a lot

The enthusiasm from all of you guys is enough for me to wait patiently :P thanks to all who are up for the job!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
as far as i am, im getting the sdk to work with gsm etc, but now its for armv7, so i need to fix that (after that it will be easier)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Arjen:
If you worked on it alone it will never finish :D

No offense, just plain truth :rolleyes:

We will see...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
tztztz :D

working together isnt possible: when CM8 (maybe this is the version name) is out,

most users want the CM version and not the very simple AOSP version, so its as ever ... 2-3 compiled roms from source code, 125 modified / themed roms ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
Andy+mik+ciaox+knzo+dax+matt+ginco+sweattiami+gianvope+luphiorph+bokioy and many more i forgot !! When such great p500 devs exist the word "IMPOSSIBLE" is impossible..anything and evrything can be made possible by em...but i can understand its a hell loto work ...nywayz.all de best guys ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Lol u said dax 2 times....I'm still waiting in hope for AOSP from luphiorph :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jaani:
Where is FRANCO lol..:eek::D

As Andy said..i m a CM7 lover & love to have CM7 based on ICS on my O1..:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Well i just wait for andy to get on this, he is great at coding ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
yupp as im not a dev it will be hard tough :/

but i know we need to fix boot image (as i am not on linux atm i cant fix that one either)

its told it will be CM9 as CM8 were HC but as their never got it they jumping to CM9 and skips CM8 :) although i wouldn't like that

discount me from dev, ;) as i told im just a guy that try to port stuffs but fails x)

nvm lets work :cool:

Franco is in his work office and working i guess
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Well, if discounting you, that means it is discounting dax, boykioy, ginco, matteof and others who just created "themed" roms.

Franco is a university student btw :P
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
Later Franco will help me to develop THE ultimate rom, compatible for some more devices

than only P500 ... i hope btw ^^
[Optimus One, P500, V General] GonDr:
u forgot Franco !!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
That means he will be the kernel maker and you are the rom maker, as i read that franco said he wasn't good at developing roms...:rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
Its only because franco dont know about Java ... now, he's learning that :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
Franco ain't rom developer..that's y didn't include him ,paulo n fserve ;) but their kernels are really important..

Edit(i dont know if franco develops roms)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
Corrected my mistake ;-)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
a dev is developing rom, and port is not a developing its another stuff,

and theming is sort of a modifyin, but we dont have such a forum :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lupohirp:
We must wait Cyanogenmod 8....we don't have 4.0 libraries and Cyanogen code allow to use old libraries instead of new one's !but i think we can port it 'cause cyanogen has armv6-vfp libs support and also i read somewhere that there is a official pre-beta rom for zte blade(same hardware as OO) so if this is real ICS support our processors....the problem maybe is the kernel....but mik have done a great job with .32 kernel so i think that it is possibile....and another thing that we don't forget we have Franco also!:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
yes, without kernel we can do nothing.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
You took my project you bastard! :p (kidding)

I was thinking of creating the thread 2 days before 27 oct release,and I will. My port will be an AOSP (.35 kernel tree) Android 2.4 port,which will turn into CyanogenMod 8 on november.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
2.4 or what?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RevengeFNF:
Mik's Gingerbread works also with Kernel .32.

There is a chance that ICS would work with a modified .35 kernel?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] _RiVeRsIDe_:
4.0 on optimus one? :eek:

fap fap fap:D:D:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RevengeFNF:
It seems there are only two general requirements that must be satisfied:

1) Phone must have more than 256mb RAM

2) Phone must contain a dedicated GPU

LG P500 has 512Mb of Ram and the Adreno 200.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
...and I remember some dude said that Gingerbread required 1GHz processor lol :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
I created my thread,you can read all there.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetpotatoz:
great to see this is going on

looking forward to get ICS for my LG p500 as the new year 2012 gift....thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
feels great to see devs going on a positive approach and putting in so much efforts for porting latest releases for our middle ranged budget phone thought many other fancy phones are out!!go go go!!!rock it baby:) :)

cant wait to test the initial beta releases of the roms!!i bet i ll be the 1st one to test:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
I may be getting a Nexus S this year,but I'm gonna still use the P500 as dev device.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
eheh, i'm doing that too ... the P500 is @home on my table near the notebook, i think the

battery gets down as fast as possible if i disconnect the usb cable - the cable is permanently connected to debugger

when i developing on the device :D

... and for every day i use my Desire HD ^^

If your dumped rom can boot, let me know it - i'll try to debug the code something to figure out what we

can develop on ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
Sure! But if I'll make the rom boot I won't publish it,I only want to see how ICS is made. And yes,apps in dump are also mdpi. ;)

OPEN SOURCE FOR EVAH!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
Yeah that happened on facebook and later lg withrew the statements ...and now too (a day or back) an indian fella posted on lg s facebook page asking if ics would be coming for o 2x and lg s answer "NO"....---WTF???(i read his post here in xda wherein he had posted the copy of his qstn n lgez reply)!! They also say stupid things and then take them back n give the update after loooong time ..//
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bl4ck0p5:
shouldn't u devs wait for the source code to be released, like the CM team said? According to them, trying to make ports w/o source code can only lead to poor quality roms. but u don't deal with android source code do u?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
Infact I'm waiting.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bl4ck0p5:
lol ok :D

well, best of luck to all devs in their efforts!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nalt:
Good luck to everybody who is going to work on ICS for our O1!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DaXmax:
@ andy572, ciaox, still using nexus one becuz is also maybe getting official ics... ARMv7 supported, and any gingerbread devices is supported...

Sent from my Nexus One using MIUI 1.10.14 AND IT LOOKS LIKE ICS
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashirviskas:
I knew that ill have ICS on my O1 until next year:D. thanks for all of you developers :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] valent|n0:
cmooonnn source code.. when is the source code going to be release?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
I know because on emulator it says download armv7 system image also to run emulator without any armv7 i need userdata.img its was told so on sdk
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
When android is releasing it lol
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
userdata.img is a empty image, so its useless :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
Not on sdk ;) its needed to run on sdk Andy can you get that for me :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
i'm on my real job currently - i only can spam the forum for the next hours^^

later if i'm back home i can have a look :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
Thanks or may u tell how to do it, (as i dont find it xP)
[General Questions and Answers] Krshaw18:
I was hoping to be blown away by the feature list, or even just a huge change from gingerbread in the form of an amazing new feature. But To me, it just seems like a revamp to the UI and a general polish. It sorta left me.. disappointed. Maybe I was just expecting too much, maybe its too deep in the mobile OS game for groundbreaking features to constantly be churned out. Who knows.. I just wasnt really feeling the excitement about NFC, don't see my self rubbing my phone with my buddies to get things done, or using it to make payments when I have a perfectly fine debit card i dont mind getting a few scratches on. Dont be fooled, I may have a iPhone 4s right now, but its only because I have an android tablet and I was under the assumption that Nexus would be amazing and ICS would be equally on par, and I was going to sell the 4s to gain a profit and buy the Nexus. But after the unveiling of both, I'm not sure anymore if its on par with iOS5 for the time being, which is growing on me. What are your thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] Kiboe:
inb4 anti-apple fanboys

yeah, it was a "meh" experience for me too, the virtual buttons is nothing new, they just took more or less honeycomb and put it on a phone
[General Questions and Answers] Magnesus:
Well, I didn't expect much - they said early that it will be HC for phones. But I think we must look inside first. I hope the source code will be released. I wonder how the browser will change (will it be closer to Chrome).
[General Questions and Answers] Greatbape:
I believe the source code was already leaked. I thought ICS overall was the best part of the whole presentation. The phone itself 10/10 design wise, but the hardware isn't on par for me... not for the next 2 years anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] Krshaw18:
I was surprised a little that there was no sd card slot added, which is what everyone complained about since the beginning! I will need to get my grubby hands on ICS before I can completely judge it, but just a underwhelming tone I took away from the whole ordeal. On the other hand, I'm still excited about the Galaxy Note! As long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
[General Questions and Answers] chrism_scotland:
Looks like its a bigger update for phones than tablets really, I can't see much that the Motorola Xoom I had for a while couldn't do on 3.2, although like I said I guess a lot of the Honeycomb functionality will make its way in now to phones.
[General Questions and Answers] Greatbape:
This is my thoughts exactly. I see the note as a far superior device to the nexus. Once it gets ICS then it will blow the galaxy nexus away.
[General Questions and Answers] jiyucn:
I'm also curios about the browser. It seems it will support sync bookmarks from Chrome. That will be great if so. Still cannot find any video/post to introduce the browser in Android 4.0.
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
From what I've seen of it, it looks excellent. It doesn't look WP7 excellent. But it appears to have some Honeycomb touches.
[General Questions and Answers] tjtj4444:
I'm very impressed by ice cream, seems like a great improvement.

But it seems like most comments in this thread is about Galaxy Nexus, it didn't impress me very much except for the screen.
[General Questions and Answers] mdalacu:
I am impressed!

- no more fragmentation, same app on phone and tablet

- HW accelerated ui

- integrated data usage control app

- browser engine is closer to webkit sources and have HC bookmark sync

- nice task manager, swipe and close app

- notification LED

- hi res contacts photo sync ?

I am worried about:

- no SD CARD in Nexus phone. i hope that the OS support the extention. EDIT: It has support - i've installed SDK

- on screen hw buttons, not my type

- no word about tethering, i hope is still present

- no word about open source it ?!?!?

- i hope face unlock does not increase even more the "wake up lag"

- no pen API - my next phone will be SG Note, i hope. EDIT: It has, as pointed by jeandujardin01

[General Questions and Answers] xManMythLegend:
I dont know what you guys were expecting.

I guess if your coming from WP7 or Android Tablet the UI changes and people app is ho hum. IOS and Android phone users should all be blown away.

Alot of the nagging annoyances are (seemingly) gone...more gestures in the UI , Full screen high res caller id , uniformity in copy/paste , Easier customization , Data management , screen cap etc....just a slew of things you no longer need 3rd party apps for.

For contacts and social aspects it blows away iOS and is a step up from WP7 ((from what I see)).

The hardware I wasnt crazy about. Only the HD screen +notification light was appealing.

Android OS was already ahead of everyone in terms of feature by a good margin. iOS caught up within arms reach with Siri + notifications. Android 4.0 seemingly does a good job of once again widening that gap.

If WP7 came on better hardware maybe id change my stance. But Android 4.0 is extremely impressive. Only question is the HW acceleration + garbage collection problem finally fixed or is it still lag/choppy filled.
[General Questions and Answers] Ouzo:
Yeah but, you know, what about the beautiful Roboto font? Doesn't that make it worth the wait for ICS?

I think visual design elements in a GUI should speak for themselves. If you have to say too much about your new font then maybe you've failed. Why is everybody designing 'flat' two-dimensional looking graphics for their GUIs? How about building in more visual customisation out of the box? Want a glosy glassy 3-D look? Sure, just go to settings and customise it from the in-built choice of four or five that we put there for you. Oh wait, we didn't.

Still only a QWERTY keyboard? Still got to go into the 'number/symbol page' to enter basic characters? Can't users just have a wider range of choice for text entry withouth resorting to downloading keyboards from the Market or buying an HTC device?

Face Unlock? In my head that shortens quite nicely to a well known expletive, which is probably what we'll all be saying when it doesn't work first time when we need it too ; ) You know, like, if we're outside, facing south and it's before 11am or something.

Do some of the new features remind people a lot of what certain launchers are doing, not to mention Cyanogen and MIUI ROM features?

Joking aside, I too am kind of dissappointed as you can probably tell. I've been holding off buying a new phone for months now (still on my trusty HD2) and I think I'm going to have to wait a while longer. And don't even get me started on the lack of a microSD card slot in a device with a high res screen, onto which I'm going to load large movies/tv shows that will fill 32 gigs very quickly.

Windows Phone 7 is still a bust for me, and I won't even consider an iPhone until they stick at least 4" screen in it, so I may end up getting a 'proper' Android phone after all, but that's not really a very positive way to go about selecting a device. So many manufacturers release multiple handset designs a year, but how many of us select one based on the least compromises in the handset/OS, rather than 'extra' features it has over and above our basic needs?

[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
Eh, I must say, google is never the one to overhype their software updates and honestly they've yet to be impressive. Microsoft and apple hype their updates up because they can live up to the hype. The only people walking around anticipating the new ICS update is... Well... You guys. IOS and even wp7 hyped their updates because they delivered more than just a definitive Ui change.
[General Questions and Answers] TDMaster:
snice the SDK has released is it better to start developing for ICS4 already?
[General Questions and Answers] Tatsuya79:
Yeah, not impressed at all. What were they thinking with this presentation?

Don't remember who from Google said something like "you'll be amazed at how many new features we added in such a short time".

This made me think of several things we saw this past year like:

-better USB compatibility (HID?) they talked about at the Google I/O -> not a single accessorie

-same Os for tablets and Phones -> were are the tablets?

-HDMI out used to display something like a real desktop on an HD screen like Motorola and some others were trying to make -> a phone without HDMI port?

-unified Os, unified updates? -> nothing discussed

No need to say how much I was disappointed.

But, well, that's overall improvement, just that...
[General Questions and Answers] bringonblink:
Impressed? We have not had a chance to use it yet?!

All i want from ICS is a HW accelerated UI. People will swear othewise, but Androids UI experience is NOT liquid smooth. It gets frustrating at times
[General Questions and Answers] Machtgelust:
I'm reserving my judgement till I get my hands on it. So far though, I can't say I'm either disappointed or blown away. My device works as I'd like it to for now. The progression goes something like this: keep on stock for as long as I'm able to hold out; unlock the damn bootloader and go crazy with ROMs; anticipate my new device; repeat the insanity. Right now, I'm only at the first step. Maybe I'd be disappointed if the news came while I was at the third.
[General Questions and Answers] yourpassenger:
Nope, I am suitably impressed. They've added some incredibly usefull feaures and polished up the existing ones nicely.

Can't wait to try it.
[General Questions and Answers] Toss3:
As android is already the most feature rich OS out there I don't think google needed to add anything else but the things they did. The only issue right now, is the responsiveness of the UI; it looks to be just as slow to respond to touches as gingerbread. Hopefully it'll be fixed come November, because no way in hell am I buying a phone with on-screen buttons that aren't responsive.

New features of ICS:

Native MKV playback check

Hardware Accelerated UI check

Better and smoother browser with full desktop support check

Better NFC support check

New UI check

Improved Contacts check

Improved Social Media Integration check

Improved Voice Command check

Better Task Switcher check

Better Camera App check

Improved Notification-bar check

and lots more

What more could one have asked for?
[General Questions and Answers] haydonxda:
Software Quality

What they demoed looks nice to me but one of the big problems I've had with Android was the software quality.

Even last night, during their grand unveiling, three major features they were announcing didn't work. Three features they chose to be proud about did not work. That's amazing and exceptionally disappointing. If the three features they put a lot of priority, blood, sweat and tears into didn't work I can imagine the rest of the experience will be even more buggy.

Great ideas but I'm really concerned about execution. I haven't had an iPhone since the 3G but the 4S might end up being my new phone due to this. I'm taking a wait and see approach to see if my concerns hold true.
[General Questions and Answers] upichie:
Coming from a diehard WP7 fanboy (and an even more diehard Android hater), I don't see any surprise in your comment. iOS5 and Mango didn't blow me out of the water, neither did ICS. Nothing very innovating was released. But I'm sure Mango blew something else of yours, given your unrealistic support for it.
[General Questions and Answers] Serious_Beans:
Im happy with ICS, it didn't bring groundbreaking features but it is a huge improvement over gb and hc IMO. Just those little shuttle changes are big changes. My friend who is a hardcore iOS fan is actually thinking about getting the galaxy nexus, he's bashed android a lot but now he is wowd by it. It finally looks as if its its own OS, its like it hit 21 and found itself lol.

The UI is amazing I think and the features make me want to sctuslly use the phone or everything, right now I don't us my phone as much as I should cuz the software is lacking but with the improvements they have made, I can see myself actually using my phone a lot more. I had high expectations for android ics and I wasn't disappointed at all, I'm actually very satisfied with it. I think people were just expecting too much from it, if you are all so disappointed with it what more do you think they should have added?

Also people complaining about the gpu, I think that's the same gpu the i4 had and it was able to play a game like infinity blade smoothly, the reason the games lag on android is cuz the developers aren't doing their best. How can a game like that run perfect on an i4 yet games like asphalt lag on better gpus? Its the game makers slacking, its the os it self prior to ics that was slacking, not the hardware, I'm sure the gpu will be fine and if developers actually do their best we can have some nice looking smooth games.
[General Questions and Answers] gus6464:
I was really impressed with ICS but it's not like it matters since the GN will be the only phone to have it for the next 6 months. I hoped ICS would bring forth the end of the fragmentation nightmare but once again major fail on google's part. HTC is still sticking to their bloatware (Sense) and until Moto Mobility becomes Google Mobility nothing will change as well. The GSII might get ICS in a year knowing Samsung's track record.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

The problem is why make a game for Android that maybe 5 phones can run well with great graphics and then have it run like crap on all others. Why would Epic or Carmack care to make a game that would run like they want it on only 3 android phones.

A good example is X-Men Arcade for Android. An Epic with an old PowerVR gpu runs the game great while it is unplayable on a brand new EVO 3D. Until Android manufacturers stop it with the cpu GHz race and actually concentrate on going with chips with good gpus Android will continue to be way behind the curve compared to iOS. HTC is the biggest offender when it comes to this with their garbage Adreno gpu.
