Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knew when the Xperia S is getting android 4.0/whether it was worth putting a custom rom on it, depending on how much time there is.
Thanks,
Storm08
Good grief!
This forum needs a like button
We're not getting it, ever... Its a myth like unicorns
Last time I heard from Motorola that Xperia s will get 4.0 early next.year.

sorry to ask m8,
but do you live on a different planet or?.....
It's already out for quite a while and we're working towards AOSP.
What's AOSP and where can I download it?

AOSP is Android Open Source Project. If you need the source, get it at source.android.com

Hi,
I was reading some comments people had made about not being able to port the keyboard on semc kernel to cyanogenmod kernel. So that got me thinking to the point - what is the difference between the two?
Is it that there are different drivers to both kernels or any other difference that matters big?

Speaking specifically about the keyboard, it's not kernel related, you got that part wrong.
It is integrated in Semc framework and libs, that's why it can't be ported to other ROMs.
As far as kernels are concerned, in general, different kernels are different.
And sometimes those differences do matter a big deal.
It depends on what you want to do.

it has nothing with the kernel.
the framework is different.so you can’t use the semc keyboard in z's CM7

My sources are pretty reliable.... but perhaps the TMobile version is getting 4.5 and AT&T is skipping right to 5.0?
Thread Closed.
Lets try to keep all the ICS *SPECULATION* in one thread. Since this one:

Seems to have the most momentum, lets keep it there...
Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been covered, but I couldn't find anything. Also, this question is not "when will ICS be released"
I've never used a custom rom with my SGS, so I was wondering which ROMs are considered the most stable, and which devs usually get new versions out quick with few bugs. The reason is I can then follow the thread for that ROM and see who pushes it out first
Cheers!
Your question is still stupid. Nevertheless, most probably teamhacksung will be the first with their CM ROM. Most other AOSP ROMs just use their work to create their own.

I'd recommend following these 2 forums, and you will definitely get the 1st version of ICS available on this site...

It was perfectly relevant. I can't tell you what you're going to like. You need to do what most other people do and try things for yourself. If someone offered you vanilla, chocolate or strawberry, would you ask them which was best or just try them?
Anyway, your question was...

[Q] Which ROM is most likely to get ICS stable first?
Click to expand...

No-one can possibly answer that. Watch the development forums and find out like the rest of us.
Anyway, it will probably be available AOSP before any "flavouring" is done, as the Nexus is AOSP.

I came across this article and it made wonder if anyone here's got it working on his s2.
And if so, could that someone provide a link to the apk of it. I can't download from the market, don't own a galaxy nexus.
Looks pretty nice!
wait for ICS
I already run ICS, so why wait?

Thank you! You're kind!
You couldn't know. It's all my fault. Maybe i should go use a freakin' big sig wich contains lots of information about my phone and its software.
Maybe someone cares.
maybe, I don't
Have a good evening
You too.
Peace.
Maybe it's better to close this thread and go on in this thread wich is also posted in the right section.
Question: Does anyone know if there is a diagram of some sort showing "how customized Android works"?
Meaning: You have ROM's, CMOS of some sort I use called TWRP, the OS itself, etc.
Assume: There are tons of hard core computer people out there, many even Linux people....who just never really "got into phones" by choice, but always appreciated and followed them...and would like to understand how things work.

Its a question, therefore q&a
Development is for a release of some sort, not asking for stuff
Schematics or flow charts?
Do you also wants flow chart of kernel lineage?
Thanks for writing.
I'm just looking for something simple that a 5 year old could understand.
Like a Photoshop picture or something with like blocks that tell me what leads to what, and what does what... Assuming you're rooting your phone. Meaning...If I root my phone, I need to understand what the ROM does, what the CMOS (whatever it's called) does, which is most important to do first, etc. Flow-charty, yes. etc
But...anything you have is fine.
Thanks

In all seriousness, someone asked a similar question last week and basically what you're looking for is not available. Maybe a Linux/Android book may have something.
