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.
Bummer.

You know, there's a rumor that the world will end tomorrow. Since it's a rumor, it must be true also.
I swear, people will believe everything they hear nowadays.

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.
This may be a dumb question but has anyone ever seen a tablet run miui?
Is it possible once the boot loader is unlocked?

MIUI = IOS with a clock widget......
Ive had the a500 and the G tablet and neither had it. Maybe you can ask one of the phone dev s. I'm sure it's possible.
MIUI is far from iOS, it has some really nice features. I probably wouldn't use it but it would be great to see on the Prime.
Some tablets have had MIUI ROMs hacked onto them, like the Nook Color and Kindle Fire, but they were gingerbread versions. I don't think a properly tablet optimized version of MIUI exists.
MIUI V4 is the ICS version of MIUI, and therefore optimized for tablets. There are pictures of the Kindle Fire running it, just google image kindle fire miui v4.
Nook color also has it.

hp touchpad and galaxy tab 7" gsm both have it too. answer? totally possible. likelihood? im not sure... aosp is always a bit tougher to get everything to work on devices that arent aosp stock. example, my epic 4g touch STILL doesnt have an official version from miui, and the port on that forum, while awesome, is still missing hotspot and video camera only works on lowest settings.
however, MIUI open sourced their code recently, so porting, or building miui based roms should be easier than ever. i REALLY would like MIUI V4 on my prime... been a huge fan since OE Evo launch

Could possibly be ported to prime or at least new features pulled from it and implemented into prime roms.
Mods can delete thread if it can't be ported.
Jelly Bean looks pretty dang cool, but I think I'm personally going to wait until there is a stock-based JB ROM. I've tried AOSP-based ROMs on my Prime, and the loss of functionality on the keyboard, as well as the headaches with battery monitoring on the second battery just aren't worth it.
Once Wookie can get his hands on an Asus build of JB, I bet this thing will really come alive.

SDK ports tend to be as slow as molasses and functionally incomplete as they usually lack the driver support of the proper release.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I am currently using CM9 and the keyboard functions equally as well as stock. Monitoring of the second battery works perfectly too.

I haven't tried CM9, but on AOKP and EOS, the extra tweaks for things like the keyboard unlock that Asus baked in are missing. I use mine for taking notes pretty frequently, and I like to be able to turn the screen on and off with the keyboard. That was never an option with AOKP or EOS. I recognize that it's a small issue for most people, but it was a deal-breaker for me. The ROMs that I was running didn't have a dual-battery guage, either, unless you wanted a big ugly widget on one of your home screens to tell you how your dock battery is doing. I also missed the quick OC settings that are in the stock-based FW.

I find it funny that before ICS came out everyone was "Ohh, I can't wait, it's going to be so great, Yea Yea Yea"
I had no problem with Honeycomb and rather enjoyed it to be honest.
Now it's the same thing with JB
I've dug every Android version from 2.1 to now. Each has their problems and strengths. I do enjoy getting the latest versions and ICS is starting getting old to me so any update will do. I don't think JB is going to be much of a difference in appearance but hope the performance is better that ICS. I can live with ICS if Asus never gives the Prime JB though.
I really would like to see a complete jump to Android 5.0 not these incremental baby steps.
Just my observations and opinion.

Well since they announced JB like 3 weeks ago, its a well known fact about the appearance and performance changes. I'm not sure what you're trying to predict since everyone has seen it and a lot are running it already. I have JB on my galaxy nexus and it feels like a new phone to be honest. Its a little ridiculous to expect a completely revamped version of the OS every year

? Hmmm I don't know, maybe because it's not carrier branded, a clean-slate version of Android, and significantly cheaper to buy off-contract... Seems to me like there's still plenty of incentive to buy the N4 regardless if the OG has JB or not.
Whatever the reason, I really like this phone and am glad I bought it. However, unless things change before my contract is up, I'll avoid LG like the plague when choosing my next device. There is no reason anyone can give to me...to me... not anyone else, that in my mind justifies this piece of hardware not having official JB released for it by now. The work the developers are doing with one hand tied behind their back is awesome, but it shouldn't have to come to this. I'll vote with my dollars next time and go back to Samsung. It's a shame, too.
Like what has been mentioned and discussed ad nauseum since December, this device very well could have shipped with JB if they wanted it to. It most certainly could have been upgraded by now, especially with international versions of JB out. That tells me it is 100% AT&T who is holding this up.
Have a great weekend! Can't wait to see what the devs have cooked up!

So you really feel the need to complain about jellybean in 2 diff threads. This thread is a waste of space. You just created a topic in general and now q&a. Come on bro

ATT is probably too busy updating the note, note2, s3, one x, and all the other big selling devices. That said, looking at LG open source site there is only one device showing more than one os update, and that was froyo to gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. So jellybean will probably be the end of official updates for this phone.
Hint's the reason to why I swtched from this to the note 2 plus the fact that it's just a sweet ass phone lol so smooth n fast has a better pic to than the LG sound is better everything is lol Lg just sucks on upgrading there stuff that's all it really is Stuiped SOB's lmao

In this case it's AT&T. If our developers can reverse engineer a hack to convert this to an N4, the mfg could have put JB on this device with the schematics and kernel files in their possession from day one. There are no two ways about it, simple as that. I mean they built both phones at the same time with almost identical specs for crying out loud..

But as far as I know, Google is mostly responsible for the N4 software and LG is mostly responsible for the OG.
Google shouldn't have anything to do with us not seeing an update, just like how the N4 users aren't thanking LG for their updates.

I didn't make this thread to complain. I was just curious. I had to call AT&T on another matter, asked about JellyBean, and then posted the other, not to complain, just to report.

I wouldnt hold my breath. Converted when the method first came out and have never look back. I don't know why people are so scare of bricking Im yet to see some one bricking their phone converting and in case you didnt know there is always a chance of bricking even if you are just flashing a simple script all it takes is a simple mistake... why do you think devs always have disclaimers on their roms???? I'm just waiting for 5.0 to drop and you will see a ton of people converting. No one likes old news man same goes for phones why would you want to stay on an outdated OS? makes no sence.
