http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/google-confirms-nexus-s-will-get-ice-cream-sandwich-for-real/

Looks like the Nexus S is getting it, so specs are clearly not a problem. Let's hope Samsung doesn't totally forget about the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dotpkmdot:
Keep in mind guys it isn't just about if Samsung will give us ICS but also if ATT would allow it and if they would let it through in any amount of decent time. Hell we still don't have an official gingerbread release.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
If my memory isn't failing me. Google had stated that all new devices would get at least two software upgrades. 1) gingerbread 2)ICS. This was back when tthe atrix was still relevant. Someone should Google this. LOL.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
i could be wrong about this, but if we happen to get a dump of the rom soon, wouldnt there be some feature of the rom that indicates which resolution to display at? I mean considering this is supposed to be like a one size fits all? or is that purely what the sdk and api tools do?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] StoneColdCarl:
I just read on Engadget that apparently, all Gingerbread devices should be able to get ICS.

Am I allowed to post links?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dotpkmdot:
I believe we were also told we would get Gingerbread in August. Never believe anything when it comes to getting software upgrades.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
I'm looking at the PNGs in the SDK right now and our device (HDPI) has a full set of graphics so if anyone ever ports this for us the visual work is there. I'm a themer, not a ROM developer, but seeing those PNGs in the SDK tells me Gingerbread devices (whether they are all devices or not is left to be seen) could be a potential target for ICS.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Ics is different though, it is trying to unify everything. Most good devices are on 2.3 now, (ahem sammy your letting us down here lol), but we will be getting it. This leads into beatblasters hypothesis thing (sorry thinking sience), where probably Gingerbred phones are going to be compatible with it. And if att doesnt want to lose customers, then then better upgrade their older phones or else tmobile or verizon here i come.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Eh, it depends on what you choose a network for. I personally go with ATT for the network and I'm not going to Verizon just for the Galaxy Nexus (VZM has a great network but they are just too damn expensive). I'd rather wait on the GN to become available for ATT OR wait for the first ICS phone for ATT.

If anything, keep this one thing in mind - HDPI PNGs in the SDK definitely open up the possibility of porting ICS to the SGS II and as we all know already us ATT users can get one of those :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I'm pretty site under open source licensing you have to release any source you usedthat was open, nothing is ever truly open source, there its always proprietary stuff in hardware support especially with GPS. There Weil searchingly be a lot of open source here, just questionable add to if there will be more propriety. I mean if its all open that gives apple free rain to Kang anything they want legally. And if they only look into it for ideas and then re-write the code from scratch they can make it propriety and sue over it like they always do.

Bit I hope ics takes a little from chrome. The simplified boot process is great. You no more than turn the device on and it is at the log on screen within a couple seconds, everything should be like that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
The prime is not worth moving to Verizon. Give it 2-4 months. It will be outdated.

It wont be worth losing my unlimited data. Lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] colman999:
Haha, is the prime a double pun optimus-prime. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Yea your right, it will also come to att in no time. Itmay be outdated, but i would rather have that because it gets all of the updates. And ovrrclocking can easily be done lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Oh, I agree with you completely. I was referring more to the closed-code of Honeycomb vs the hopefully-soon-open-ness of ICS :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
While I would love to see ICS for the Infuse, I think even hoping for it is too optimistic. We haven't even seen Gingerbread yet lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
That's exactly what's going to happen. Samsung is pretty fast with i9xxx updates.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
I am very optomistic about this lol, but many scources say straight from google that ics will be able to run on any 2.3 device ahem. I know the infuse is like no other, but there is still some hope lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] krantiredeyes:
I hope gtg is making an ICS ROM for the Infuse..... His gb ROM is just too good. Not even a single crash till date.

I believe all of the software changes shown in ICS can be implemented on Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] snooter71:
ha i LOST hope along time ago !!! still waiting for GB update....:confused:

Hey everyone. I am currently running Autism awareness and its giving me nothing but issues. It locks up like crazy (especially when I go on my runs) and the gps loses signal within 5 minutes. I have to restart my phone to get a new lock and in 5 minutes the same thing happens. What are some other good gingerbread roms that have good gps, stability, and battery> Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crow11:
SFR 1.2 ROM is the best and more stable ROM that I have tried GPS works great I use it as my daily driver and the battery life it's okay?? other than that everything on this ROM works great!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techfuman:
SFR is great, but it's not GB. You will not get a rock solid GB rom, all of them have one issue or another. I've had the best luck with Marcusant's new ACS ICS rom. I've also had very good success with KSMullins Hurricane Rom, and he's just recently put out a 2.0. Everyone's hardware is slightly different, and the applications and tasks that are important to you are likely different from what other users have. Take a good look in the dev section and peruse the comments. You'll get a good education and a pretty good idea of what does and does not work for most people.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Wait a week or two. Source just hit. Most GB leaked ROMS have the reboot issue which needs Tegrak/SetCPU combo to fix.

Hey, I am running CM7 Latest nightly am having (and have been) an issue where after a while the external speaker volume drastically decreases. Even if the volume says it is as high as it goes it still has low sound, ringtone and media.

I have DTAPPS2SD installed and was told once a long time ago that DTAPPS was the problem, however, if I go to MIUI I never see this issue (With DTAPPS flashed as well). Any help / ideas? Thanks.

PS: Let the bodies hit the floooooooooooooooooor!

The latest version of dtapps2sd causes sound diminishing problem. Try 2.7.5.2-1 version.

[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
if you're using the dt beta 4, boot into recovery and wipe cache.
[Nexus One General] Androidity3000:
Thanks for the ideas guys. I am now noticing this issue on MIUI as well and can almost confirm that this issue is due to DTAPPS2SD. The way to fix is to just reboot and 4/5 times it will work. One question, if I downgrade to version 3 of DTAPPS will this possibly fix the issue? And what will I lose by using this older version? IE: more unstable? Thanks again.

Now that ICS has been talked about and previewed, does GingerBread seem old to anybody else, even though we're JUST getting a close to fully working CM7 build?
[Epic 4G General] .OmEgA:
Considering when new things come out, i.e. ice cream sandwich, usually makes the model or version before old. So until ics releases, GB will still be "new"
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I agree. All I can see myself doing now is trying to tweak my phone to mimic ICS. Forget gingerbread, that was December 2010!

[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
The age of a version of Android is more about just a voice in the back of your head. Android's appearance hadn't really changed much from Cupcake to Gingerbread. All that ever gave us a fresh user experience were third party launchers and themes. An Eclair phone with Go Launcher will feel absolutely no different from a Gingerbread phone with Go Launcher in daily use.

ICS is the first time this has really changed, since Google has apparently FINALLY paid attention to the GUI. The new elements introduced aren't exactly magical, and don't amount to much more than polish and adopting many features that were already offered by third party launchers, but the refinement is welcome.

My only concern is the same one I have whenever open source OSes attempt GUI modifications--open OSes tend to be developed entirely from a programmer's perspective, and therefore tends to crap on casual usability. Google hopefully avoided this, but the sharp angles and harsh lines of the ICS screenshots remind me a lot of the sort of design philosophies that brought us countless ugly and idiotic Matrix-inspired desktop customizations with eye-straining color contrasts and bizarre obsessions with green/blue and black.

Hopefully ICS won't pull a Unity, at least.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
</3 unity

Hopefully Google won't do anything that drastic to Android that Ubuntu/Gnome Team did.
[Epic 4G General] Donmeister85:
Um, yeah, that's kinda because it is. A year in the tech industry is old. Sucks that Samsung/Sprint can't even get it to us. Thanks to all the devs that have gotten us this far! Especially with CM7.

OMG, I thought I was the only one who disliked Unity! Can't stand it!

Scumbag Samsung:

Promises update to newest Android OS;

Waits until newest Android OS is released.
[General Topics] BarryH_GEG:
Here's some quotes from tonight's/today's press conference:

"Galaxy Nexus has no buttons and the physical / capacitive keys have been turned into 'virtual buttons' within the OS"

"The hardware works in concert with the OS. They were designed to work together."

"Android 4.0 ICS is "specifically designed" to work with 720p as its native resolution."

So, since the SGS2 has physical/capacitive buttons, wasn't designed to work with the OS, and doesn't support 720p, what makes us think it will (officially) get ICS?
[General Topics] Kailkti:
You do point some vaild points in not getting it officially. But we could always tweak the source code to get in unofficially anyways. Software is software, a text file, it's not ike hardware where you have to change a resistor or something.

ANyways I don't think samsung will not deliver us ICS, they might simply just tweak it for us to work.
[General Topics] ghost77:
You honestly believe every device in near future will have no physical buttons ? and ICS will be limited only to high end devices ?
[General Topics] htcplussony:
If 720p is going to be standard, that makes it really hard to do phones with smaller size screens though.

I wonder whats going to happen to ui customization. Is it going to be purer Google now?
[General Topics] tonz22:

[General Topics] BarryH_GEG:
Don't shoot the messenger. The quotes are from Google execs. I have no idea what the answers to your questions are but if you take what was said literally then the issue of ICS on legacy devices remains to be answered. That's why I brought it up for discussion. 45% of Android devices are still running Froyo so limiting ICS to specific devices doesn't seem out of the question. And based on the resources required by the OS, there has to be a line drawn somewhere anyway. Hell, the HTC Desire barely got GB.
[General Topics] krazykat:
Dude that was fake.

And he said "natively using 1280xwhatever". Doesn't mean it is the "only" display. It's coming to legacy ones. Stop worrying. Remember Nexus S from ebay?

And man, ice cream is like a derivative of Touchwiz. Good thing I started with samsung. LOL.
[General Topics] SiSL:
Sorry to say this but do you really thing Samsung will bring ICS as-it-is?

I mean I hope Samsung does not bring ICS as it-is, since there is HUGE difference between SGS launchers, UI and all other stuff compared to original Gingerbread already.

I really did not find ICS as "change the world" thing, but least, it is something new :)

I dont see, Any reason Galaxy S II wont get ICS Update .... !!!

and all the brightest developers own a s2 coz this is simply the best phone
[General Topics] hrking2000:
I am pretty sure reading in an Engadget/Slashgear review that the 3 on screen buttons for ICS that are used for the Galaxy Nexus are optional- thus this shouldn't be an issue for most phones and jsut down to preferences of the individual user.

People said Android would not run on Kaisers.... Diamonds... Fuses...

I honestly cannot belive 3.0/2.3 -> 4.0 is such a huge leap that makes older hardware imediatly incompatible.

Sure... the launcher might not be ready to such resolutions, as can other apps...

But everything is possible.

NOW... will OEM's provide it?? Doubt it... I doubt HTC Sensation ever gets it :)

Or SGS2... but thats my HUMBLE opinion.
[General Topics] xManMythLegend:
The point is will the capacitive buttons still be shown if HW buttons exist ? Thats the big question mark.

It would be pointless to not be able to disable them/hide them.

I belive it will be possible to hide/show, as it will be possible to configure what buttons actually show up.
[General Topics] tjtj4444:
Ice cream requires a GPU at least, that is the main difference, that rules out some phones like HTC wildfire, I'm not sure if the very old GPU's like Adreno 130 (e g HTC diamond) etc will work with ice cream or not.
[General Topics] nrnx:
after spending all night going over both the sdk and the source code I can say this for sure:

720p is optimal resolution, however you may definately have it at a lower resolution. The tablet version must be 720p. There are workarounds for graphical apis, any device released within the past 8 months at least should work. Any device with a gpu or dual core plus gpu api is fine. Anyone with ntegra in their phones are fine. About the onscreen buttons, they are totally optional; So please quit worrying about that.

AGAIN the os is scaleable to hardware, I suspect even older 2.3.3 capable devices will be able to get 4.0 running without a hitch. However it seems unless you have at least 1 ghz ics will pretty much be a no go for you, as 2.3.3 even lags on that end.

I am trying to figure it out to get it booted to my lg g2x, heres hoping others are working on it for their devices. We dont need to wait for an ota. We can have it running long before the phone companies push their upgrade.
[General Topics] LiViD:
Disregard.
[General Topics] daedric:
Even adreno130 is ogl 1.x, so probably no go :)
[General Topics] AllGamer:
if your old phone can run Gingerbread 2.3 fine, then it can run ICS 4.0 just fine
[General Topics] sygeek:
Each device gets its own update, and each differs according to the hardware. So the devices which have no physical buttons (in the future), will use the ICS's virtual buttons, while devices like SGS2 (or Nexus S) won't.

For the 3rd quote, I think you misunderstood it. ICS is specifically designed to work with 720p, as in it has more support for 720p resolution comparatively with Gingerbread, not with other devices below this resolution. Also, this is not its native resolution.

Even if above were the case, the source is going to be released soon and we have our developers.

This just in: Face Unlock, a new feature in Ice Cream Sandwich. No more PINs or patterns. It uses the camera and runs some face reconigition magic on your face to determine whether to unlock or not.

Here's the ICS release video: http://www.youtube.com/android

I think this is an awesome feature. It kinda makes the fingerprint scanner on our beloved Atrix a bit redundant, or no? All provided that we will be able to run ICS on the Atrix in the first place.

Not a fan of the new UI design in ICS by the way... Most of the other improvements seem really, really sweet though. Watch the video.
