Everyone is asking and talking about ICS, they complain that GSII will not be updated to ISC for "ages" to come.
I wanted to ask wether the buzz is about the Official ICS update or about the rom update. From what I know a working ICS rom should be out within weeks, am I not right? Could it be longer?
I am planing to buy a GSII but if I wont see ISC on it I'd rather get Galaxy Nexus.
Where did you hear a working ICS ROM would be out in weeks?
There are ICS ROM's around but not everything works so it's not good enough for a daily ROM, obviously everyone is hoping that a 100% working fully functional ROM comes sooner rather than later but devs need to be given as much time as they need.
ICS to be out officially late December, early January for SGS2 international...

So with the ICS event just ending I'm curious to if this will affect the Atrix at all? Can I be expecting any sort of ICS rom to flash whether it's supported officially or not?
He said it... But all of us muggles are thinking it. My excitement is unfathomable and I have no idea where I am going to get my ICS fix... We are still in beta for CM7 so what are the chances of us getting CM9 when it appears? How long are we talking before the atrix can share in all of the vanilla ICS goodness, and will it be before CM9? What do the timelines usually look like for these kinds of things?
They mentioned that all gingerbread devices should get ICS too. But who knows how that statement will hold up.

let's just hope that it's gonna be next month
currently you can install the wallpapers and the font to satisfy your crave for ICS. i also saw the system dump being available...
will this software upgrade eventually make its way to the TB?
Im sure this has been covered before.
Don't hold your breath. Updates seemed to be few and far between. You will see a fully functioning ICS from one of the fine developers here long before an official release comes out OTA.
Sit back, relax and soon.. maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow.. but soon...
WE WILL HAVE ICS! MUHHH HAAH AHAHA
We could hope that ICS makes it to the Thunderbolt.

Well said.
I doubt we will ever see an OFFICIAL ICS build for the Thunderbolt. I just don't see HTC and Verizon spending the time on it with all the newer phones coming out.
I am confident we will get a full ICS ROM from our developers. There is already a booting port of it. No connectivity, but it boots!
Not offically
I'm sure we'll get a good working AOSP rom, CM9 is slated to fully supported the thunderbolt, as far as from HTC is concerned, it's seems very clear that the only announced supported devices from the big manufactuers, Samsung, HTC, Motorola are the dual core phones that were made recently, theirs no doubt in my mind the thunderbolt can handle ICS very well, but it'll probably get too laggy once they throw memory and resource intensive sense on top of it. I would bet money on the fact that the thunderbolt will never see official ICS
You'll notice that the Nexus S runs it fine, and other manufacturers like Sony Ericsion that have very light skins or none at all, can upgrade to ICS, they've vowed to do it for all Xperia devices launched this year at minimum.
I so wish they would drop the skins from Android devices. ICS don't need a skin, maybe older android versions needed skins to clean it up and make it user friendly but not any more.
Ok, please don't blast me, and I am not starting this thread to start a fight. I just really want some advice. I love the rezound, and I would like to get it over the Gnex as I don't like a lot of things about the Nex. However, I had the TB, and now the Bionic and I just don't want to be waiting on a never ending cycle to get to the lastest software(IE 4.0, 5.0 etc.) The reason I say this, is I know like with the TB it seems like the Devs have to build a whole new RIL in order to get the software to work with the hardware(at least in the GB and now the ICS update for the TB) and I don't want to have to wait for the same thing when JB comes out at the end of the year, but I also don't want to upgrade again in 6-9 months. I hope I have made my dilemma clear. I would like to know if you, as rezound owners, think this may happen, as I may just jump (regretfully) to the Gnex.
Also, Let me make this clear, I am in NO WAY degrading the Devs work here or else where, I am just impatient. And don't want to wait for many months for fully working roms that may or may not come. But there are a few main things I REALLY like on ICS, but the current build are just so buggy on my current devices that it's not worth using as a DD. Please don't think this is me fussing, or anything of the sort, it's just I'm looking for advice. Thanks.
The current ICS builds are pretty good. The devs did a great job with them.
As to your question about JB, only time will tell. I don't think that anyone has an answer to that.
I've had both BAMF's and Scott's ROMs on my Rezound, they are both very stable. The only thing HTC has said about the update regarding the Rezound is that it'll come later this year. It is not listed in the first batch of phones.
"According to HTC, we can expect to see the updates begin to roll out by the end of March for the original Sensation, Sensation 4G, Sensation XE, followed shortly there after by the Sensation XL. The following batch of devices will include the Rezound and Incredible S, but there is no time frame listed for that device other than, “later this year."

I don't mean as much for ics as it appears to be currently working well on the device. I'm not shy about flashing. I'm just worried that the next version jelly bean may miss the device and it will be left to the devs to get it up and running. But that's been even harder on them recently, Atleast with my experience with the tbolt, as they have to built the Ril from the ground up, or so I understand. So I don't want to be stuck on current software. I'm not saying it will happen, I just want advice on whether I should take the chance with the rezound. I do really like the device.
It was my understanding that Jelly Bean was more like a Honeycomb release...
The operating system's next version jelly bean will be optimized for tablets

Oh, I hadn't seen that. Thanks for the heads up.
So I know there's threads about photon ICS..
But I wanted to throw out the question that bothered me when I was going through Th3bills MIUI 2.8.3 thread
Will photon ics be canceled with the Q4 release?
Its just something bothering me a lot.
Cuddles here~

No one knows.. They said the Atrix would get it in Q3 (no later than September), and the Photon would get it in Q4 (no later than December). The only way we could get shafted into not getting official ICS is if they canceled both the Atrix version and the Photon version as either release will get us perfect ICS and near perfect JB. I know Moto has a history of promising things that never happen, but i highly double that both versions will get canceled. Worry not, just stay patient. And honestly, this question could have easily been answered by posting in one of the 2384589 ICS ETA threads we have already
it is still on schedule

Install one by one and try out for 1-2 days.
This kind of question is strictly prohibited in XDA.
Not only do we frown upon this type of highly subjective question, but it also shouldn't be in Development.
