[Q] ICS The sourcecode, WHEN? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I got very excited when I saw yesterdays presentation of android 4.0 too.
But it keeps me wondering when we'll see the sourcecode being published.
So my question is does anyone have any idea whatsoever about when we can expect the android 4.0 sourcecode?
How did that go with gingerbread, how long did it take for them to release the sourcecode of that?
Thnks!

most likely around the same time as galaxy nexus is released

IIRC 2.3 source code release was about two weeks after the 2.3 release.

Great thanks for the infos.
: )

you can expect to see devs working feverishly to get rooted recovery zips posted as soon as there is a proper dump, as well....so at least you may be able to use bare-bones vanilla ICS soon If you've got a nexus you'll have it almost immediately!

yep iam trying to repo sync it but nothing is happening yet....
too bad i really wanted to build it today.

7:24AM Well, he said that they'll open-source it "a couple of weeks" after it lands on the Galaxy Nexus in November, so shortly after that. Probably before Christmas, if we had to guess.

Android 2.3.7

So... Besides the NFC wallet thing, what other new stuff and bugfixes are there in the new Android versiom? Anybody know?
(I mean, I know that there's a ton of new little features and bugfixes in every point release, that only developers tend to know and find out about.)
You think we can expect some upgrades to it, or will HTC&co go straight to 4.0?

Will the Gtab 10.1 run ICS?

The title says it all. Will the Gtab 10.1 run ICS?
At some point yes.

One would think so considering how new it is and it's pretty much the flagship of Samsung's tablet line. But that's just my humble opinion (and lets face it: my hope as well.)
Only wish though that Sammy wouldn't skin it with it's horrible looking overlay!!! Guess I might as well wait for CM9 or another ROM to come out that's vanilla ICS.
The answer is "absolutely, yes." The only real question is "when will google release the source code."...
Yeah, we want all the source. I love my Samsung - Tab and SGS I9000
release of ICS

SGS2 to get ICS Jan 2012?

Take this with a pinch of salt as it's far from official but:
Gaurav Hasabnis, an industry analyst and contributing editor of Fonearena.com posted on Twitter: “Something gonna come in Jan 2012. #sgs2 users gonna rejoice!”, followed by a second tweet: “Soon Mali400 gonna be in full use.”
The mentioned Mali 400 is the name of the GPU on the Samsung Galaxy S II. Rumors states Ice Cream Sandwich will utilize the the full potential of high-end smartphones better than previous Android OS, which leads us to believe that the ICS will be making its way to the Galaxy S2.

Hurray...I said January last week....
Hope this is true.. SGS2 will rock the smart phone business more!!!

Thank you for the heads up. Hope GS2 will not take a long time to upgrade like the Samsung did for Galaxy S.
seems to match up with this
http://www.lifeofandroid.com/news_detail/ice-cream-sandwich-to-debut-on-android-handsets-in-weeks/
The worldwide release of Android 4.0 will begin in time for Christmas with Google’s Nexus S smartphone meaning the new OS should be broadly available for all compatible handsets by early 2012.

They hvn't even released the 2.3.4 update in India.Jan 2012 s too early a date for us i guess .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If they won't release it officially, I'm sure we'll get a custom rom with 4.0 running as soon as the Galaxy Nexus is launched But good news, anyway!
Just think. If it's January 'officially,' then it could be December (or earlier) for us!
That's a great news. Though I think we'll get ICS unofficially before that. Anyone?

Wow this is great news. Now android is a step closer to WP7 and iOS in handling resources. +1 HW acceleration
Even if we are not getting the official update, i am sure xda developers will cook one for us.

Didn't Samsung drop development of 2.3.4 as they started 2.3.5
I still haven't got any official updates from 2.3.3 on a SIM free handset here in the UK.
Samsung UK have also tweeted that there is no time frame for getting ICS on the SGSII (read in to that what you want)
Think custom roms will be the only way forwards on ICS for some time.
Well that announcement is about Official release, NOT unofficial one. 70% users use Official ROM and like them, existing use this and that. Without a Stock ROM there won't be any Custom ROMs? Would there be?
Count me in those 70%.
We'll sure have some custom rom runnig ICS before the official one but I wonder what they'll do about touchwizz...
Looking forward to it

ICS Source Released!

Looks like we're getting an early Thanksgiving present.
Hopefully we'll get a slightly less Macgyvered MIUI sometime soon, with more ROMs to follow.

Please note that AOSP developers have asked that prospective downloaders wait for the greenlight to download ICS, as it hasn't entirely propogated through their system, and you may end up with a hodgepodge of files from ICS and Gingerbread if you download now.
Moving this to General as there is no development going on in this thread... just informing everyone about the release of 4.0.1
I'm very excited.... can't wait to sink my teeth into that sandwich!
I'm excited too but we are still going to have to wait for Samsung to release drivers....

Source code release means ROMs are basically done, and we should all prep for installing them by running backups.
Remember last year how the GB ROMs for the captivate started flowing 48 hours after GB source dropped.

I don't really get the sarcasm of ^^^ entirely, but yeah, does this mean we might be able to get ICS by the end of this year? I honestly thought that we had to wait for Samsung to code ICS for the international version first, of which devs would make ROMs out of
Atinm said it's likely a few months out

CM tends to be unable to go very far without the vendor-proprietary bits.
It's possible but EXTREMELY difficult. The CM team has said it'll probably be at least 4-5 months to integrate in general, that's not counting device-specific bringups.
The fastest route to ICS is likely going to be porting an I9100 release.

Thanks for the dose of reality. I hate getting all worked up anticipating something that wont be around (or at least stable) for several months. Now i can just put this in the back of my mind and be pleasantly surprised if it happens sooner.

When to expect JB ROMS?

When will JB ROMS be coming to the samsung vibrant, i know that there is already some work for the g-nexus but nothing about the sgs models. Does anybody know when?
I'm assuming soon after Google releases the code for it.
android 4.1
I hope sooner rather then later
When it gets to devices such as the Nexus S, I9000, or basically any Galaxy S family device (first gen)
IT has the potential to run on the Vibrant.
I am also hearing that the Nexus S is getting an official google update, so if that is true, we will get it for sure.

The NOTE will get it for sure, no doubt about that, it just won't be through Samsung as they will want to put Touchwiz on top of it, which will take about 1 year, and by then the new version KAKA will be released.
haha
There is already an alpha version that was released

Looks like Google just released the JB code into AOSP..
Roms will happen when they happen If I were to take a wild guess, I would say in the in the future sometime.
Patience! Count your blessings that we have awesome devs that gave us ICS!

^ Ha, very punny sir... Very punny indeed.
Yes, and we should really encourage them by donating anything for their cause. They're not really getting paid to do this, but they are doing it anyway. I recently just donated $5 to a dev that has helped me through a couple of problems, may not seem much but a little can go a long way
I can't wait to see what all these developers and going to create now that the source code is out. It will be a while with some dev teams starting from scratch but it will be worth the wait.
