Ice cream sandwich from one phone to another? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My friend is over right now, he has Ice cream sandwich on his phone, I have gingerbread. My phone doesnt have the update yet. Is there a way to plug his phone into me computer, copy the ice cream sandwich files from his phone and install it onto mine?

ICS isn't even out yet, so he either has a bad SDK port, which is buggy at best right now or a very easy to reproduce themed/morphed gingerbread.

it is if he got his phone 2 days ago, i could post a picture if you want, its the real ics i just wanna know if its possible

Post a shot of the "about phone screen" if it is "real" than it is an SDK port which is not even close to stable right now. What phone are you looking to put this on?

Actually the SDK port on the Nexus S is very stable. Only Bluetooth and 4g not working.

Even if his phone does have it no you can't.
You either hope your carriwr does it for your phone or be s-off and flash a ICS rom for your phone(there won't be any until source code is released)

You are wrong. Someone bought nexus s with ICS from ebay. He bought it before ICS launched. Yeah, but Google remotely wiped the device off after they realized it. But who know who is the lucky one that bought another.

Ice Cream Sandwich

Announced at Google IO, will we see the next Android version Ice Cream Sandwich on our SGS2?
They also said samsung have signed up to providing updates for 18months on new phones, does that include the SGS2?

I'm guessing (and hoping) that will mean yes!
As far as ive read, the android carrier alliance has promised updates for atleast 18 months on all phones in their current lineup. Since the sgs2 is so new we should be ok.
All phones released after the signing of the deal are covered.
I suppose the next question to ask is how dry is that ink?
Considering the hardware specs on the SGS2, ICS will be eaten easily. Since Samsung has been more than adequate in updating their phones, especially the flagships, I'm very confident that we will be eating Ice Cream Sandwich this fall.

Samsung announced that GS2 will be update to Android 4.0 on next year

Do you guys think we'll get ice cream sandwich?

You think we'll get ics....or will it be implemented in the new atrix that will be coming out ...
Even if we don't get it, I'm sure we will have a a custom rom on ice cream sandwich, so I'm not worried

Bootloader is unlocked, we no longer have to rely on Moto/AT&T for updates/roms.

Well put!
.... 10 char minimum
Just because bootloader is unlocked doesn't mean we'll get ics automatically from devs. There's a lot more that taking ics and slapping it into another device.

Since Ice Cream Sandwich won't be released until late this year or early next year (yeah, I know they're say Q4 2011), I doubt their will be a MOT/AT&T release for Atrix.

isn't there a 2 year rule with updates?
since atrix came out this year, doesn't that mean it'll be supported by ICS?
They will stop the update for the phone, not more than one year when it released?
Maaaaaaaaany lower in power phones, will be released and getting upgrade on ICS,
or may released with ICS.
I understand to stop updates, when a phone's power, isnt enough.
But not with a dual core.
Everybody will switch to Sensation, SGS, if they dont, so i think and hope they will
EDIT: btw, when ICS hits, xda will open sections for TVs? Rooting and hacking TV's?

IMO the Sensation is out of the question. I've seen too many negative posts about battery life...

Well if we get CM7, which we will, we're essentially guaranteed a souped up ICS when Google releases it, aren't we? CM will update to CM8 I'm sure to accommodate, and we're likely to be an officially supported CM phone when it's done.
We'll probably be using different phones by the time Ice Cream Sandwich comes out
We'll get ice cream stock or custom. I think that moto will release 2.4 for atrix. That's a must do for them.

If it's coming out in half a year, then I seriously doubt it.
I like the Atrix and consider it very future proof.
With the unlocked bootloader and constant developer support I have no doubt it can hold out as a top phone for 2 more years.
I think the atrix is futureproof in all ways i can think of, i have yet to see an app that really takes use of dual core, and the tegra is just starting to take off.
I don't think we'll get it from moto but cm8 I'm will bring it our way.

How to disable asking for 4.x update

is there anyway for the time being i can disable the archos popup asking to update to 4.x? i've been there, done that and had to revert. i don't wanna accidentally do it again and im afraid i might by accident (or my daughter really)
No you can't, there's a way to stop them but it has to be baked into a ROM

I have had ice cream sandwich on my htc inspire 4g for a few months now, and i am having major issues with it not want to run smoothly, i dont have very much on my phone, i check for updates regular but it has not had one in over a month now. Im looking for some help on how to fix it so i can have it running smoothly, or to update it to the new jelly bean.
Thanks

What is your problem exactly? By "issues with it not want to run smoothly" i'll assume it's laggy...is this correct? Have you tried doing a factory reset?
yes and yes, and my music app keeps saying its not working

Head over to your device's section and try getting a custom ROM running.
Did the HTC Inspire evn get official ICS?
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
flash a custom rom
Flash a custom rom like aokp .
Or if that seems too hard to do,
Use a bloatware remover.
It should be there in your device forum

I believe that must be a custom ROM, you're running. Coz there is no official ICS for Stallion.
And its always better to read the Bugs / Changelog and check the thread completely before flashing any ROM.
And oh hey, mind sharing the link of the ICS ROM you're running? Guess I should try it
Cheers!
