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.
Just a thought.

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.

I don't consider it a phone. I use way less than 100 minutes a month. This is my computer that I can alo use as a phone. Your analogy doesn't make sense for me. I give a crap about call quality or anything phone call related really.
This is not a rant or a complaint thread by any means, just curious. What's the deal with Jelly Bean? Months ago it was stated that JB would be an easy jump from ICS once we got kernel source. Is this not the case? Is nobody working on it? Any insight would be appreciated.

Ditto. Take a look at https://github.com/intervigilium for the pieces of Intervigilium's Sensation port and do git diff on files between branches to see what he changed. The only thing you'll need to do extra is to update the RIL for the new android_frameworks_base.
I'm almost inclined to do the Jellybean conversion myself, but at the moment I'm just too lazy.

Are you sitting on a bunch of build fixes?
Because after messing with it, it looks to me that we need the updated msm framebuffer headers to get the latest libhwcomposer and friends to compile. The modified ABI means the kernel needs the updated driver to actually work, and that entails a lot of other intra-kernel dependencies, too.
Atrix HD gets Jellybean and were sitting here with nothing!

Realistically the reason that LG didn't put JB on the LGOG is because they wanted to boost sales on the nexus 4.

I personally don't agree with this.
The vast majority of consumers don't know what version of android is on what device.
They won't even know.
And it shouldn't matter what device people buy, as long as they extend their contracts.
Also, stock isn't too bad on this phone.
I seriously could not care less when we have a ROM that's pretty much exactly what the stock update is going to be with SnowJB. Plus we've got AOSP, AOKP, and CM10 on the way. Not to mention The Base and other ROMs I'm neglecting to mention. If you're on XDA you likely don't need an official Jellybean release. I'm not a huge fan of this news being posted all over. We have better updates than what will ever come out. Who cares?

Then it seems most of my acquaintances... are not super bright.
But in all honesty, the everyday consumer really doesn't know. With Android so fragmented and most devices hardly receiving updates, I can think of a lot of people I know that don't know. They aren't tech people, they just want a smartphone.
I've had to walk friends through getting to the about phone settings just so they could find out what version they were on.
On iOS devices, everybody (or just about) has the latest update available to them; and even then, they really don't know what the hell is going on.
It is amazing how many people out there don't know much of anything about technology, and have no idea what their devices are capable of.

How long did it take att to release an update for the LG Thrill? That might be a good guesstimate for the Optimus G...
Took them 8 mo from the release of the one x (July to march) for this JB.
I also like to use my Inspire as an example. Promised Jellybean, and it was a giant no-show. Thank god for our Devs.

Funny thing is, neither AT&T nor HTC said ICS was coming to the Inspire, only HTC said it then retracted it for the Desire HD, international version.
Such a mess these updates are.

It's clear from what we've seen from other carriers around the world, that the lack of official Jellybean is totally on AT&T. I love this phone, but it looks like the only way to keep current is to depend on our devs and with brand new shiny coming out very soon I suspect we will lose quite a few of them. I realize brand new shiny phones are always coming out, but the next crop of devices are slated to be real power houses.

I do...I'm over flashing ROM's that have half working features or the occasional bug that causes my phone to reboot in the middle of a game or phone call.
Friends I wanna buy Amaze 4g. I wanna know about amaze before buying. You have used this phone you know better. Right now I own Xperia sola. I wanna know if it is upgradable to ICS officially? I know JB is not available for it. Any recommendations in this range? thanks
It seems there is not much dev for this phone.
Don't get me wrong I liked my Amaze but this phones life span has come to an end. I'm now using the Galaxy Note 2 and I love it.
But officially there is ICS unofficially there is also JB.
You will need extra batteries or charger and a nice sturdy case.
Good Luck.

I'd regret that Amaze is superior

The Amaze is a good phone. While there is not much development, there are some good mature ROMs based on ICS (like NRG). One advantage it has is that the accessories are cheap - you can get extra batteries & etc. for very reasonable prices).
The camera on the Amaze is very good, if that is important to you.
The dev community strong we have a mature sense 4 port and cm10

The phone is stretching to work with newer operating versions. HTC designed it for ICS Imo, and that is where it works best. I personally have no particular desire to try anything else.
Of course, I came to the Amaze from the HD2, so I was a bit spoiled in terms of developer support.
