Evervolv is maintained by MongooseHelix, Preludedrew, and myself. Our goal is to bring ice cream sandwich to unsupported devices guided by the aosp philosophy, everything we do is opensource and transparent to the public. Visit our Gerrit or Github.

I originally started porting ICS to my beloved nexus one the very same day google released the source back in November. I had very little knowledge and no experience porting android. It took 2 days to sort countless build errors and get it booting, only a few days later i was able to release my first alpha (where absolutely nothing worked) It has come a long way since then, with hundreds of hours invested on my part and undying support from this wonderful commutity, I am pleased to announce: as of 2.1.0p11 this rom is /almost/ stable. However it will remain in alpha/beta (whatever you want to call it) a while longer, but the majority of people will find this usable as a daily driver.

For those of you not following this thread. You may not know my nexus died. As in the NAND finally gave out ((bootloader) rbchk: Total 1191 bad blocks!!). And I was able to get a replacement on ebay for $142.50 USD. Paid for entirely with your donations! Thank you to everyone who donated (i can't appreciate it enough). I look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest Ice Cream Sandwich to your n1's.

I have spent many hours and sleepless nights on this. So if you like it please feel free to hit that donate button above that picture of me.

You must install blackrose hboot before flashing ICS. Instructions.

BlackRose

You must increase the size of the system partiton to fit ICS to at least 210MB

*4/14* I had previously recommended 210 system but am now changing that back to 220. The size of ICS and mainly Gapps is growing and with 210 system on the a2 release, after gapps there is only 6mb free space. That doesnt give me very much room to grow on and can cause problems with people who have bad blocks on the system partiton.

RECOMMENDED: System 220MB Cache 10MB Data 206MB Download

System 210 Cache 8 Userdata 218 Download

(or make your own with the Blackrose installer).

All past builds will work just fine on either layout 210 and 220

Future builds might not fit on 210 as of a2 it is pushing it.

If you are installing for the first time choose the 220mb system.

Flash:

fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcrust_220-10-206-ICS.nb0
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w

If it flashed correctly: after the 'reboot-bootloader' command you will see TexasICS on the second line (under blackrose)
