Short answer no, That was an official update from htc and ICS is around the corner and all dev teams are focus on that. For us HP TP users that means a pretty solid tablet os when they port it over.
Hope that helps

would you guys stop it please?
honeycomb source WAS released along with ICS... simple answer to why you wont see any HC ports onto the tp is, that it doesn't make any sense porting HC to any device anymore when the next iteration of Android was already released too..

No, it is relying on the ICS framework.
Is it possible to get this running on OG evo at some point? If I had some dev knowledge i could help but i just have a phone im willing to break. :3
~even though it's in the E3D section we still need some love too. :c

It is possible. No one can promise it'll run at top speed though.
Normally I dont bother overclocking my device but if it would make it run faster, i would rather kill my battery in 20 minutes just for that amount of ics goodness.
No gapps.?

I will say I like sense 3.0 however once this becomes a full functional rom in the future i'll definitely be running it. from the videos I've seen and from the stream I saw tonight ICS is gonna be sick. but in the meantime I will continue to run the warm rom
Will this every be the great? I seem to remember that we could never get a good honeycomb ROM when it was a sdk port

Thanks for this topic. I was just about to post this asking if devs would jump on it. I don't develop ROMs, but can't wait to see what these awesome devs can do with ICS on the HTC Evo 3D. Knowing them, we'll have it before the Galaxy Nexus even comes out lol

[Q] Developing ICS for HTC Sensation

Hello.
I'm trying to get ICS working on my HTC sensation. I was wondering what I need to do to make it work on my device.
I have ICS working in the emulator but I want basicly port it to my sensation
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
That's much work
You have to port device-specific things that's the trick.
If you aren't an expert on these things you should wait until CyanogenMod9 is released and then the developers will port it to all compatible devices
Yeah it is and its going to take 2 months for cm9 to come out plus I want learn how to do it...sooo as far as I know I need to port over the lib files, maybe egl for graphic, change the boot img, and other things
I have the basic knowledge of porting but I was just wondering if it also applies to the ics source code

So just get the update, use CM9 to figure out how to get the device specific parts, and go bananas on your own ROM. If that is to much, you should probably see what you can do to help CM (and learn along the way) or just buy an ICS device to hack.
It might be worth the kicking around for fun and education (that's why I would: curosity), but otherwise it's faster warm and fuzzies to spend $ and more benifit to everyone to expand an existing project, to learn more on how to do your own. Just my two cents but good luck, hope you get a nice ROM going for your wants.

I assume like any other open source project, get involved. They seem to have a very handy wiki: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Main_Page and issue trackers. You could probably walk into their IRC channel and ask if there is anything specific that needs help, and poke around the issue tracker. N.b. on IRC asking any question can take a few hours to get a reply though, depending on who is reading vs lurking.

Just read that the TF Prime will be delayed till the new year. That means the best source for ICS for us will have to wait.

In that case (not wanting to sound ungrateful of the devs) why aren't we seeing ics even in alpha? Many other devices, including ones not getting official, have some sort of port.

I realise that. My reason for putting it up here is I think the software on the new device will give us a head start in bringing it to our devices. Such has happened in the past.
Nexus s brought 2.3 to galaxy s before official release for example.
I think it will be a while yet until we see an official release.

Pretty sure it has to do with needing the source code for Tegra 2 drivers.
Most of the threads I've looked at for ICS ports, seem to amount to ICS AOSP using CM7 sources to fix crap or it boots but peace be with you if it's as functional as your toaster. But I will admit, I've only checked a few devices (of interest to me).

indeed. The port for my phone (desire z) is a port of a port (desire s). Not sure if that is ported from cm or what. Kernel is certainly based from cm though.

You wanna see a mess, go and read about the guys that waited for the 3.1 honeycomb for their Logitech Revue.
When I saw what a mess it made once you d/led it and you CANNOT reverse, I immeditaley unplugged the ethernet and sold the thing on Ebay while it was still working with 2.1
I am glad we have Asus as our manufacture, and I can wait.
I don't think the Prime will be coming with ICS on it anyways at release. Isn't it releasing with Honeycomb?

The Nexus S port is working pretty well. Only a couple little bugs but mostly everything critical to a smart phone is working.

Why waste your time trying to half-ass a port when Asus has always been awesome at providing updates and has already said ICS would be out before the end of the year?
Time is better spent porting ICS to devices that won't be getting it officially. In fact my Transformer runs so well right now, I'm leery of even thinking of upgrading to a new OS version (bugs). Honestly, throw an ICS theme on there and call it a day.

If you're wondering about ICS on the touchpad...look at dalingrin's twitter posts.
If you're looking for CM9, all i know is they've released a pre-alpha version of the launcher from CM9 for Devices with ICS....how far that puts them down the line to finishing it? I do not know but i'm waiting too (impatiently)
Here is the official source of CM news:

I would imagine any general news on CM9 will be all over once its out. I saw the news on the launcher in at least 3 different sites within hours of the announcement.

Agreed Leo and Scott are doing a great job at developing cm7/MIUI to work on a tablet as best it can.. But it is almost a lost cause since ics is already on a lot of devices....
I'm sure modifying a kanged ROM is a lot easier than making a port/SDK ROM as a lot of the drivers have to be made from scratch... I've given up on android on the TP till ICS. When that happens ill donate a handsome reward to the team that does it.. till then... WebOS will have to do... As I only use it for media/web I'm good for now... I have a EVO 3d for apps and such that android excels in...

don't be saying things down that road lol...you'll get alot of backlash like the e3d forums.....froyo to gingerbread wasn't a huge step but it took people a very long time. Lets just wait for source to be out next month it isnt a very long time. Then since the base framework is similar, it won't take that much longer then it should. I'm more interested in the PDK feature which gives basic source codes for the hardware side of things, exciting times

Porting anything from the SDK has always been horrible, its not that easy and even if it were that isn't to say it'll be any good.
Remember those SDK ports of Honeycomb...horrendous. There's a reason nobody bothered with an SDK port of ICS for the Touchpad...there terrible.
I'm fine with just waiting until source code is ready. Unlike the switch from GB to ICS on a tablet which was huge, JB isn't really groundbreaking. It has some nice new features but after playing around in the SDK for a while I didn't really see anything that I couldn't wait a few months for.

I understand it perfectly......it is a small step yes, but in the grand scheme of things when you get an SDK port, when has it always worked perfectly?? If we're testing proof of concept here i can understand but you people want jelly bean to use straight away and to tinker with it. Devs I think have lives and if someone wanted to do it, they would've done it by now cuz its already being booted (albeit black screen) on the one x. Instead of the frustration of porting something using SDK they'd rather wait for source, because then people will start complaining that "this doesn't work, that doesn't work" so on and so forth
Anyone else think it's weird how they went back to the phone layout for the nexus 7? Will it be that way on larger tablets? I'm not a huge fan of how notifications work on my touchpad but the controls may be hard to reach if they go with a phone layout.

while the current tablet ui layout is mostly functional, its not very pretty and a bit disjointed when coming from a phone version of android. it also doesnt allow manufacturers to put physical buttons on a tablet without them being redundant, and is called fragmented when compared to the ios on the iphone to ipad. it wouldnt surprise me if they went with this design as their new tablet layout. and it probably wouldnt be as bad as you think. with future cm9 or aokp customizations, youll probably be able to adjust the positions of the nav bar however you want.

I've long thought that the tablet UI for large tablets makes a lot of sense as if straddles the ground between desktop and phone quite nicely. Google aren't making the Nexus 7 UI default for these tablets either, if you emulate a touchpad withe the sdk then you get the UI we have now. On my small A100 the layout is pretty poor, and of course the resolution isn't all that great either but it's so crowded. The Nexus 7 UI works out nicely for smaller screens I think

No, it shouldn't be a waste. ICS is 4.0.x, JB is 4.1.x and is a refined ICS. So all the progress should be able to migrate over.
