Earlier today, Dan Morrill of the Android Team posted a message to the Android Building Google group updating the status of code availability due to recent server downtime.
“We plan to release the source for the recently-announced Ice Cream Sandwich soon, once its available on devices.”
So guys.....expect CM9 and other roms based on ics soon....

It would be out by early November.......as compared to releasing source for honeycomb....this is soon!

haha, i think the point i was trying to make was that we have evo 3d's... it won't be for a little while. HTC would still need to get a project team together, integrate the software with our device, build a kernel for it, and test/troubleshoot.
that could be months away before you even hear about an official release from them. i think our dev's here have a better shot at getting a fully functional rom out (as far as a timeframe goes)

dude they have always done this. it will be pushed to AOSP the day of or after the phone is released. just like with FroYo and Gingerbread. Honeycomb is the only exception to the rule.
So yeah depending on your defn of soon, itll be out in November once the actual phone is released. NOT a moment before though b/c thats not how they do things.
In the early days of android there have been unofficial leaks

i would assume manufacturers have special access to this source code months before release. my guess is we get the ota a month and half after the nexus is released. What im wondering is how htc will integrate sense with ICS? will they remove parts of sense since ICS is more than adequate?
HTC via facebook
Since Google unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich earlier this week, HTC has been looking closely at the new OS's features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans. We're a recognized industry leader in providing fast and consistent upgrades to our Android devices (see what Engadget had to say about our upgrades: http://engt.co/qMb9nQ), and Ice Cream Sandwich will be no different.
Upgrades require a careful balance of hardware and software to ensure the best possible performance and usability, so please stay tuned as we assess our product portfolio. Our goal is to upgrade as many HTC devices as possible and we'll be sharing details on specific devices and timing in the coming weeks!
Thanks!

Guys, don't count on any form of ICS.... AOSP or Sense any time this year. Just let it go... =p
If you want ICS, go to (bleh) Verizon or wait til next year when someone gets it rolling on our phones.

As far as custom ROMs go, we're close to getting a bootable ICS sdk port and when source drops, we should have a stable (no 4G, sound, camera, 3D, etc.) ICS ROM weeks after.
Cyanogenmod 9 alphas should also be here around a month or two after the source drops.
But as far as an HTC update goes, I think we'll be seeing it in February-March.

Bootable SDK port is not at all what I was talking about. That's gonna be a butchered up mess...
I agree with you about CM9 alpha builds.. but that goes along with what I said about not getting it this year. The source won't drop until the Galaxy Nexus is released..which is in November.
I don't really see how you can call a rom with no sound, camera, 4G, 3D stable tho lol. It likely will have MMS issues as well. That isn't at all stable.
So yea, don't expect anything ICS flavored this year other than something you can boot up and play around with, then wipe off when you actually need your phone =p
I'm ok with it tho, I would like it ASAP but I understand it takes time... and I'm not into flashing anything that's ..well, butchered.
I think the real concern will be how much HTC killsoff the look and feel of ICS with Sense.

This is the same thing I'm curious about. I would love to see the new color scheme on Sense, but it never seems like they change much of Sense come new up dates.

You and me both. I'd like to see them go the *gasp* Samsung route and just leave the vanilla android icons and such. Tone Sense waaay down and just concentrate on other ways to make it better.
As much as I don't see them leaving it very vanilla, at some point they are going to have to realize that people are getting tired of Sense and change it up.

A month and a half is plenty of time to get ICS running. Distros like CyanogenMod are already set up to merge changes that it will bring. I'm too lazy to keep searching for it, but Cyanogen has publicly said that they're prepped for the changes

It took longer than 1.5 months for GB, You MIGHT get an alpha but I doubt it. There are 2 major holidays left that are going to impact development, and we don't even have cm7 on our 3Ds yet aside from an alpha.
We can debate it but none of us really know. I'm just making a guess based on past experiences. I'm fine with it regardless tho, ICS looks nice visually, but, that's about all I care about in the new android 4.0. The last android update I wanted was 2.2, since then they have been kinda meh
Saw this on Taptu.

Didn't even know that, just assumed they were releasing it for just random devices.

thought legally they weren't required to release source period,even after an ota
isn't it required for open source/GNU licensing ?
Both HTC and Samsung both release the kernel source after the OTA, afaik. They just can't do it until then.

legally they are required or that would be violation the GPL then everyone and their mommas would go attack HTC lol
1) there are no Verizon devices on that list.
2) Some on the list are not ICS, but GB instead
3) ICS is not released for the Rezound yet (leak isn't an official release)
4) They are not going to release source for unreleased versions of OS regardless
Their obligated to release the kernel source as Joelz has said, it falls under the Gpl. RIL on the other hand......

Well guys, if HTC Dev is supporting the Amaze, they say the source releases between 90-120 days after the update, then we should get a source code for 4.0 around August or September since we got it in late May and June. And hopefully it will be the FULL one.

I'm just curious that when Jellybean update arrives on HTC One S, would there be a port to Evo 3D possible? All the Sense 4 ROMs atm are ported from One S only. So.. I hope it's a doable thing.
It is possible. Back when the vm ics ruu leeked, devs were able to sprintify the ruu into ics roms for us. It will more than likely will not have 4g and 3d at all. No source code yet. There's a thread in general that talks about what htc devices are getting jellybean. That would be a good place to look through. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849093
Edit: Not sure whether the information is legit. It's a discussion thread. lol
