Hey guys, I met a guy from Google, during the Metallica concert in Bangalore ,India :p who had the ICS on his Nexus S, Google had given that for beta testing and I got to use it for some time...

The GUI is almost the same, obviously the one he had was much more stable and smooth...

The Google search widget looked different.

Version, was on Android 4.0.1

Turns out they had completed making ICS in September itself , excluding bugs of course...

I asked him about release date and he said "They're going to release ICS for Nexus S when they release Galaxy Nexus"

ICS is really worth the wait guys...

SUPER! guess many custom roms and OTA nandroid backups will become available right after...right guys? ;)

since OTA in Korea does not happen on the same day as in the States, for unknown reason because I thought OTA was done by Google entirely, I look forward to you all passing on the ICS to us folks in Korea. :D

I think we will have a ROM from the source code, when its released before we have the Official ICS update. Google will take weeks to release ICS for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Android Development] markywylder:
Absolutely, always happens this way
[Nexus S Android Development] MaliceOmega:
how long did it take the nexus one to get gb after the nexus s was released? i never really gave it much thought bcuz i jumped to the new nexus as soon as it was out, unfortunately if verizon is gonna have an exclusivity period then ill have to wait for the newest edition :(
[Nexus S Android Development] mils69:
eh?

I can find little/nothing of substance that is wrong with b5.. it's a definite improvement.

Drew's efforts are fairly obvious throughout.

Cheers Drew!

Just buy the SGN outright on Handtec UK :p
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
It took two or three months. But I remember reading somewhere that we're supposed to have ICS within a few weeks of the GN launch. It was a tweet/statement from Samsung or Google. I'll post a link if I find it.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaliceOmega:
i thought about that being that ill need a gsm version anyway but im in the us and they are asking way too much of our dollars lol. i bought the first two nexi full price and even the ns was only 530 before tax. 800-900 is just breaking the bank for me, even if i do sell my current nexus (i didnt sell my first one. held it along with my g1. as homage to googles major jumps in android, lol)
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
It did take quite some time.

2 Months later the Nexus One gets Gingerbread
[Nexus S Android Development] Orangestrat:
the one and the S got 2.3.3 at the same time! They didn't push 2.3 out because it was buggy as all get out, rebooting in the middle of calls and whatnot. This isnt apple, google tests the updates and makes sure they dont wreck your phone before they push OTAs

[Nexus S Android Development] cigaro:
B5 is really great, but what is going on with the market? Every app is incompatible with my nexus.Can't install anything...
[Nexus S Android Development] jonatansofer:
what is going on here? some app can't install.. its say : your device is not compatible with this item!!

btw whatsapp its the same like in b4.
[Nexus S Android Development] mils69:
as mentioned previously.. you're seeing the result of Devs starting to mark their apps as ICS compatible/non-compatible - maybe there was an Oct. 31 deadline? ;-)

at any rate.. if you backed them up with Titanium / MyBackup Pro you'll be able to restore them into b5 without any difficulties.

as for WhatsApp.. it is working.. but will not sync contacts.. so phone numbers only for the time being

Copied from http://drewgaren.com/DrewGaren.com/...E_SCREAM_FOR_ICE_CREAM_NEXUS_S_3G_Beta_6.html

This is based off of Beezy’s 4G beta 2 androidcentral (haha they banned me) rom, with several improvements made by me for Nexus S 3G. I am really trying to crank out stability and full updates in this beta so this can truly be a daily build.

Since Beta 5 had a few issue, I have made beta 6 and resolved a few of those issues.

Changelog:

-fixed many force close with languages

-removed gmail 4 for now and put latest gingerbread version in so contacts will load

-updated dpi to fix notification bar and resolution

-included Astro

-included Facebook

-minor build.prop updates

-other minor updates

Addressed Notes:

-some Apps will show up in the market as not compatible for your device, these apps are currently being updated for ICS release no worries.

-This is not a huge release, but this is enough to make it a daily use rom.

-Bluetooth does not currently work because of a missing

-Lag, if you experience lag after first boot. I recommend a reboot after setup wizard.

-GPS is not fully accurate but is working close enough for now.

-Languages have issues, some work perfectly others may cause the system ui or status bar to force close.

-A release candidate will becoming soon.

* its quick

* 3G/GPS works simultaneously for me now

* font size seems to be smaller than all the prior b-versions - must be the amended dpi

* updated power widget

* folder names dont seem to reset anymore

* its very quick! :)

High Resolution Contact Pictures - People App

Perhaps this has been addressed here or around the web (though I have yet to find any mention of it), but are the high resolution pictures not working as of yet. I have been unable to get high resolution pictures to appear in the People app or while receiving a call.

Am I doing something wrong e.g. settings wise or is nobody able to utilize high resolution pictures since it is synced with Google who has yet to officially release ICS to the mass?
[Nexus S Android Development] ahqball:
Ok, spoke a tad too soon haha..

Folder names do reset on you after rebooting phone.

But thats about the only fault that I can pick from B6 so far.

Emails work again without any FC as it is no longer the ICS version and back to v.2.3.5.2

All in all, a very fast daily ICS ROM that should be enough for most people to use until the real deal is released come 17th of Nov.

After yet another unrecoverable bootloop from CM7 (un)stable I decided I needed a different ROM and found this one. I miss the NFC and bluetooth a bit as I use them for automation but can live without until they get resolved which I expect will not take long given the rapid progress of this ROM so far.

Great work!
[Nexus S Android Development] freakness51:
hi guys

is there a way to have back fonts a little bigger as in previous betas???

even icons in the status bar look quite a bit small to my eyes :o

thanks for helping!
[Nexus S Android Development] cabstrak:
im guessing the zero shutter lag is based on GN's camera and not just a feature of ICS?

or is it not working yet on this port?

[Nexus S Android Development] 3Shirts:
I think this must be a feature of the Galaxy Nexus and it would explain why they stuck with a 5MP camera. Opting for better lenses, sensor and shutter speed over a larger pixel count.
[Nexus S Android Development] jp2000:
Few questions:

1. Does GPS work? I have it enabled but it's not showing the icon blinking at the status bar when using maps, gps status, etc

2. Can you (re)download ANY apps from the market? None of them work for me. I guess it's because they don't support ICS yet?

I have them all backed up with Titanium Backup, so it'd be nice to download that app at least.

Another thing i have noted on B6,

Within the set alarm menu, the "done", "revert" and "delete" buttons havent been resized properly... subsequently you can only see the letter d, and half of e from the "delete" button

Oh, and not sure about anyone else, i suffered my very first freeze since installing b2-4...

Had to pull the battery out to restart phone as the power button didnt work :-\

I can install Titanium Backup, but it won't restore any of my apps so it doesn't matter.
[Nexus S Android Development] spyke70:
use my backup to save and restore ... Many apps do not work even from the market, forcing the closure .. expect the best of times .. lol
[Nexus S Android Development] liorry:
In Titanium Backup, go to Preferences, scroll down to "App Processing mode" and select classic. It'll batch restore your apps in the old school mode - one by one. Slow and annoying but gets the job done.
[Nexus S Android Development] Haizum74:
I did this myself as prefer Root Ex however it still shows in the app menu, quick reboot sorted it but just in case anyone wonders why it doesnt bugger off.

Also contacts loads in everything including email addresses from Gmail. One of which turned out to be a dev I had emailed ages ago.

Also, if anyone has trouble adding their own pic on 'ME' in contacts, it only seems to work from gallery photos and not photos stored online (picasa).

Also in messaging when you select your photo it brings up the details of the person ya texting. Minor thing really but just mentioning.

Too many also's there but cant be arsed to edit em
