Just today, Google announced that it was rolling out Android 4.0.4 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for download, with build IMM76D. The note at that point by JBQ was that the timeline for ROM push for the final build was unknown.
In a tweet and Google+ post, Google has now noted that Android 4.0.4 images are beginning to push out for the GSM/UMTS Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, and Xoom WiFi. Absent are the CDMA/WiMAX Nexus S on Sprint and the CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, both of which are likely waiting on carrier approval. The update includes bugfixes, stability improvements, faster camera launch (which we've noticed in leaked 4.0.4 builds), and better performance in some areas.
We’ve started rolling out Android 4.0.4, Ice Cream Sandwich, to UMTS/GSM Nexus S, Xoom Wi-Fi, and HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus devices. #android

We're anxiously waiting for our own GSM/UMTS Galaxy Nexus to get the push so we can test out the final build and see what all has changed. Hopefully Google also updates the factory images for Galaxy Nexus pages for those of us who are impatient.

I was reading on Endgadget that the Nexus S 4G is to receive an Android 2.3.5 update that will include amongst other things, a WiMAX performance improvement.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/22/sprint-readies-nexus-s-4g-update-with-improved-wimax-performance/
I realise that firmware 2.3.4 has just started to appear for the Samsung Galaxy S 2 but would anyone happen to know what Android 2.3.5 brings, what new features, if any?
http://www.cbku.info/android-news/u...axy-note-and-s-ii-will-available-on-march.htm
In addition, this update seems just for Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note international version. Meanwhile, the operator version of both devices will get update Android 4.0 ICS in different time, like Galaxy Note for AT&T that’s reported to get it on February 19th.
Update Android 4.0 ICS will brings something interested for Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note. According to the reports, it will improve the functionality and user interface, even though still using Samsung TouchWiz UI. So, be patient to wait Android 4.0 ICS for your Galaxy S II or Galaxy Note.

I don't think the ICS update is coming on February 19th. Just the phone to AT&T. That website owner can barely speak english and the message was not very well translated.

Yeah, I think we'll see a Intl Note ICS ROM ported over to us before ATT releases an ICS update. Hopefully CM9.
I was trying to come up with the list of phones that are available for sale today with ICS 4.0.
Not thinking of phones that have been promised at a later date or phones whose manufacturers have said they are rolling out 4.0 update in March, May, 3Q or whenever. I'm not referring to custom ROM's either.
So if I were to think of phones that are sold with 4.0 or have an official update already -- the only one I can think of is
Galaxy Nexus
Are there others?
Nexus S? We had a official update from Google but was halted for an unknown reason.

Anyone want to guess as to when/if we'll get this update?
Never.
Edit: In before the lock...
I opened one of these threads the day it was announced, it was closed. I'm sure the mods will close this one as well.
guessing like ... how Asus tf700 will be released around the end of year to find out mid next month
If the first Transformer got ICS, I sure would hope the Transformer Prime gets Jelly Bean.
The update for the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and the Xoom is coming mid-July. I assume that Asus already as a copy of Jelly Bean since it build the Nexus 7. They should be already working on it for the Tf700, Tf300 and the Tf201. I assume sometime in late July or August.
Soon (optimistic guess)

That's what I was thinking. Excluding the keyboard, our device is identical to the Nexus 7 plus one addition camera and a microSD card slot. It shouldn't be too hard. Plus, with Google supervising the firmware, maybe they worked out all those weird driver glitches from Nvidia.
Give me some sweet Jelly Bean 4.1 to beta test please.
Jelly Bean is available if you can build a rom http://developer.android.com/index.html
Edit: I assumed that http://source.android.com/index.html would have been updated to reflect the new developer site
It'll probably take few month before Prime receives Jellybean.
Remember, we still have another "update" that's being tested by beta testers and that's not even Android 4.04 I believe (I could be wrong). Although, the good news ... or think is good news is that.. Gary expected different "beta" testing update but didn't get it... thus, Asus is possibly switching their resource into Jellybean update for current products. But yea... just because Xoom is receiving Jellybean in mid-July doesn't mean Asus products will.....
As for Jellybean open source, it won't be released til mid-July.
Speaking of which.. it is interesting to note that Jellybean is still on Linux kernel 2.6.29 instead of Linux 3+.... disappointing.
jellybean dual booted with Ubuntu working 100% would be A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

Is it really? I thought for sure it'd be on 3.0. Isn't the Galaxy Nexus using 3?
Yup, Jellybean SDK is on Linux kernel 2.6.29
We will probably get it around or when the Infinity 700 gets it.. don't expect it before that releases stateside at least I'm not

Yes my LTE is on 3.0.8 on stock IMM76K... most tabs are still on 2.6 though
If i'm correct, Jelly Bean will first be exclusive to Nexus 7 for a certain period before they can release it to their tablet. Like before (Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich).
I hope the 'buttery smooth' project has actually really fixed the lags at random point.
I would rather see Asus release a stable and properly functioning version of ICS, instead of another half-assed attempt at a new version of the OS. I don't need the newest version number, I need a functional tablet.
Unless they give us 4.0.4 really soon, which I doubt since none of the beta testers have said there was a change, expect the same 4.0.3 IML74K build with just tweaks ("fixes") until they decide to push 4.1 to us.

so agreed with this.
right now, im so enjoying androwooks 2.0 rom
It may be simpler for Asus to work from a better base i.e. Jelly Bean, to deliver that outcome. Lets hope that given the Nexus 7 runs a Tegra 3 processor Transformer Prime owners won't be too far behind!!
I heard rumors that google is still not working on Android 5.0 'key Lime Pie', and they will also not present it on Google I/O this month.
Apparently they will release a newer version of a Jelly bean ROM, Android 4.3, apperently with codename 'Android 4.3 JWR23B'.
Rumors told me that Google already tested Android 4.3 on a galaxy nexus 7 and nexus 4.
What my question is:
The Samsung galaxy tab10.1 had a timid start with android 4.2, it was laggy and it didn't respond at times, but it turned out to be one of the fastest ROM ever on my galaxy tab10.1 after hard and long work ( i'm flashing pershoot's ROM's (CyanogenMod) now since 11 months), thanks to pershoot.
Will there also be any chance to run a newer android version on this tablet after Android 4.2?
since there were doubts that android 4.2 would ever work on this tablet and turned out to be this smooth, it's giving me alot hope, what do you think?
-what do you think, android 4.3 or 5.0?
-what could be new in android 4.3/5.0?
Let me know!
I heard rumours about the last android version for dual core processor device is 4.2.2 to maintain the quality of later version (4.3++). Can't recall where I read it but if this true then the GT10.1 will stop at Jelly Bean 4.2.2. but, anything is possible..
On my 2nd thougt,if the above is true, this might be the opportunity to the level 17 API's developers and below to strengthen their apps stability, performance and thus give maximum performance to the devices. This might be a good news too.
I think if google upgrades it to android 4.3, most likely there will be bug fixes, like the strange back button It's supposed to bring us to the previous screen until we get to the home screen, but at times, it'll take you to places in apps you've never been, skips screens you've been too, it basically works only half of the time. and if i take a look on my parents's ipad, and if i rotate the screen, the transition is extremely smooth.
If i rotate my galaxy tab or my asus transformer it's kind of... Choppy... If i search the internet, the browser can't follow the speed of your finger on any device i've been on yet, maybe a little bit more browser responsiveness would be great, i'm not saying it isn't smooth yet, but it could be better!
And maybe they will work on more battery life? And if they're already working on it, maybe they should work on a new way to stay connected with people, what i mean is, don't use a stupid samsung app or asus vibe or whatever manufacturers use to connect to a social website, but make it a built-in app?? Like ubuntu does or WP8.
Let your fantasy work..
I don't know why this has been moved to q&a but okay
