OMG. QBKing, you're from Aurora, IL. Wayne's World. Party Time. Excellent.
Thanks qb for that great video.
Soooo....what improvements are expected with ICS over GB? Now that source for GB has been kind of released and the OTA looming on the horizon the GB whining has stopped and now they are whining for "why not ICS?" So can some one tell me what the big deal will be for ICS?

Thanks. A lot of the features mentioned in there, we already have! I don't see that big of a deal. It appears mostly cosmetic with some Palm theft about the multi-tasking swipes. Camera functions can be improved on the Epic with apps like HD Camera and the many Panoramic apps available.

You'll be happy to know that the head designer of WebOS switched teams to Google during the development of Honeycomb. The "theft" from Palm is entirely public, not that I mind. It will do a lot to make Android easier to adopt and really separate it in function from iOS.

ICS is designed to help end fragmentation. It should run fine on the hardware. I doubt htc will support it tho.

If this (http://androidandme.com/2011/08/news/13-things-we-might-see-with-the-release-of-android-4-0-in-q4/) is correct, any phone running 2.3 should be able to handle ICS.
Evo 4g is close to its end of life the only way we could get this is thru roms

It's interesting at least that we may start getting hints as to what lies ahead for both Android phones and tablets. I'm sure the CM folks will end up porting, so we'll likely see it on the EVO 4G at some point.
Looks like it's mostly UI changes though. Wish they'd posted a screenie of the Gmail app changes; I love the app but the look of it is plain and ugly.
I honestly doubt the Evo will get ICS, we barely got GB, and its not like that OTA was welcomed with open arms.

Considering people have gotten 2.3 running on the G1, I think it's entirely feasible that the EVO could run ICS.
It may not be without it's problems, but I'm sure after some refining it could be perfectly usable.

Source was never released (if I remember correctly). So that's why we never saw any roms.

Honeycomb was designed for tablets and plus the source was never released to prevent more fragmentation. Icecream is supposed to bridge the gap between gingerbread and honeycomb.
Looks like it will be coming out around the holidays for the Samsung phones

"Now what's interesting is that both Samsung devices are mentioned as getting the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, leaving the HTC built Google Nexus One out of the equation. So it looks like Samsung will have a big advantage over other Android phone manufacturers come this holidays when Ice Cream Sandwich is set to debut."

more "ice cream sandwich" spotlight!!!
ICE CREAM
Just read the interview w/Andy Rubin. They said they'd open source ICS "a couple weeks" after the Galaxy Nexus's release =)
HTC has said they are looking at ICS and will determine what they will do, because most of the features that make sense great has now been added to ICS. Could be they don't update any of their old phones, and they come up with something totally new for all of their new phones going forward. If they would put sense as it is now, they would cover up a lot of the new great features of ICS. Just a thought.

I can't find anything regarding a version of CM8. I also can't find any CM versions of honeycomb. I have found CM7 with some honeycomb elements, however. Did Google ever release Honeycomb source into AOSP? That is the only place CM goes to build their roms.

I've had the font for a little bit now it's pretty nice, but all the apps are odexed and there isn't a means to deodex them yet, so we have to wait and see I believe.
Yeah, I saw that you posted, I installed soon after, very easy on the eyes. I'm excited for ICS even though we just got GB source. I'm thinking maybe Google's ICS framework is what's needed for that sexy contacts or as they say, "people app", but I want that on my epic.
Yeah, I'm trying to take images from the ICS keyboard and move them to the Gingerbread keyboard. I replaced all the files....and yet, it still shows Gingerbread images. D:
But the font makes it more enjoyable.

Don't know if that is what they meant by it should be capable on 2.3 devices. More that the hardware will be able to handle ICS if it could handle Gingerbread. This would not be the first time though that a phone runs a newer version of android with a modified older kernal.
Well well now, it seems that Android 5.0 (code named Jelly Bean) is scheduled for release in November. Go take a lookie see. This may be old news for some of ya, but I just got the news. ;-)

I'd agree that it will probably be 4.1, but Google can't just sit back and not make big changes. I expect huge news. Its the 5th anniversary of Android. There are rumors of 5 nexus devices.

Google can't keep making gaping changes without further exacerbating the fragmentation problem. I'd more expect Jellybean to be 4.1 than 5.0.
It'd be stupid of them to spend all the time overhauling the interface for ICS only to overhaul it again. The mass market doesn't like change in the interactivity of the device.
I expect far larger enhancements in usability. Further enhancements to ICS social network integration. Better syncing and integration with google drive (camera syncing). Maybe Google Chrome integration.
Sounds like the bulk of the focus will be buying from Google directly (maybe all carriers?)
