What do you think, will the Google Nexus One get the love of Ice Cream Sandwich from Google officially?
If not from Google directly, I have no doubt someone at some point will ROM hack it for the Nexus One.
I wonder if the N1 will have enough system space to handle ICS initially. I'm sure someone will eventually figure out some sdcard trickery that will make it work either way. The sdcard on my Xoom with Honeycomb 3.2 works very differently than on the N1 and apps must use the Android MediaStore API to detect everything. My guess is there will be some app growing pains around this bit like there has been with the tablet apps.
Nexus S isn't much more powerful than Nexus One. Nexus S will get ICS, so nexus One too
Both will get... Why? Becuz our phones are under Google... So we might be getting otas from google... By the time it releases...

I hope they don't have the same issues they had with gingerbread releasing 2-3 months later

I would be more concerned with whether they drop to AOSP quickly, like they did with froyo.
The last i heard Google already confirmed Nexus One will get ICS since theres no hardware requirement anyways...
^
I heard the same news too, and it came out of my ass. How about yours?
XIAOMI anounced a few weeks ago they will launch a MIUI ICS, and will continue to provide support to other devices.
as of GRK39F /system has only 15MB available, so I don't think the N1 will get it officially. We'll have to wait to see if they can fit it in 145MB but I don't think so.

They could have at least twice that amount of space to work with if they drop the frequently unwanted bundled apps like Twitter, Facebook, and Books. If I want them I know where to get them.
I guess it will be the same? Becuz if official cm9 is release, the rom size should be 89-94 mb....

Considering that the htc dream/G1 can run CM7, i would be extremely surprised if the nexus one wouldnt get ICS on CM9
I doubt, google will release some kind of OTA, but there will be some mods

What do you think, This will be a new version or same 4.0.3 for nexus s 4g and i9023?

I cant even follow this story anymore. It's too much. It's coming, it's not, it's coming. Ugh. As much as I have followed this story i'm likely just going to stay with CM9 anyway. But I can empathize with the stock users.
In retrospect I should have used different word above. Please no sex jokes.
I hope its 4.0.4 because 4.0.3 the Barrett is so bad after that update I bought a sensation.**

What a mess Google made with Android.
Right now, ICS is becoming Android's Vista and if Google don't step up they will lose a lot.
I would expect, at least, some sort of official statement by Google or Android team this but I realize now Google is some mute giant.
I mean, even ZTE communicates better than the big G. Get this, they would talk directly with rom development community. I thought "if ZTE does this having a Nexus must be the balls!" I was wrong...

+1... after 3 months they really should come out with something decent..
You guys realize this article means nothing?!
"It's coming in a few weeks" - that's how Google always announces any updates.
The only info you get from it is: "there will be an update, ics is not officially shelved on the nexus s." No reason to get agitated, anyone can "predict" this as long as Google doesn't let out an official statement.
Define "a few weeks"... it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
ICS, and Starcraft Ghost to be released 'in a few weeks'.

Probably not....a good 80% of users probably aren't aware the Google has anything to do with the software on the phone....most probably think the manufacture does it and the rest likely assume the carrier does....so everyone whose manufacture just said they are getting ics likely just discovered its existance and where completely surprised and happy...

That is true, but all this ignoring the more "geeky" and update friendly community doesn't do them any good.
And at least for a Nexus phone, I believe people bought them for the clean Google experience and that experience is getting to feel ignored right now.
Few weeks means in a couple of months... in google time
I hope we get to see it this year
I doubt we will be getting any update soon. And if we do it doesn't matter because I'm not upgrading until milestone 5 (or a ROM with all the same features based on the upgrade) comes out.
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Milestone 4)
Air Kernel (3.45)
OC 800/100 (Lionheart)
Live OC (100 - Noop)
v6 Supercharged
Hey guys, I got some great news on the eta of the ota, what my very close sources tell me that we WILL get an ota, when Google releases it. but till then fellas you are more than welcome to grab some sammiches from our dev section and save the internets bandwidth talking about when its released.

3 months according to google, but if anything is to arrive with Jellybean it will be the Note 2 or possibly a nexus successor.
Doubt it, they have announced ICS to be released between July and August, so why would they turn sround and decide to give us JB.

Well there's another dev working at the tab that I know of, Sk806.
So Locera, SK806, that's two... Still not much but value both of them.
We should be happy we get ICS, it will just make us think we got a new device,
and the step to JB won't be that hard for the devs then.. I guess..I hope.. I don't care I want ICS now please, this HC feels sluggish.

The nexus 7 pretty much rendered the tab 7.7 obsolete when it comes to software (and speed due to software optimization alone) . There's no salesman in the world that could sell it to a customer instead of the nexus 7.

Nope, sadly. I'd like to keep this tab for awhile longer and it would be nice if Samsung showed up Apple and keeps updating it (and other recent Galaxy devices) for at least one more version. But, nah. Maybe it will be easier for someone to port 4.1 when the 4.0 source eventually gets out?
But if not...**** it, who cares. A few interface tweaks and some nice features, but the 7.7 will still be highly usable with ICS, I would say.
Theoretically the binary blob drivers that come with ICS source should be able to be used in JB builds? I'm guessing
The main obstacle in current ICS dev is lack of ICS drivers esp as they are closed sammy blobs

Unless of course he is traveling salesman. Travel with Nexus 7 is somewhat restricted to about 100 meters.
I see no technical reason why the 7.7 should not be able to run JB unless JB needs 2Gb of memory.

Jelly Belly (yes i ment to say belly and not bean) does not need to have 2 gb of RAM. I hope ICS helps out the 7.7 but i also ordered a nexus 7 to see what it can offer for the price.

I was thinking the same thing. And hoping it is indeed the case.
So according to the samsung web page it states that jelly bean is coming soon the the gs3. Did anyone else notice this? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...71336618.59771.253235488046600&type=1&theater
btw let me note im not sure how legit the page is but if it is in fact true then this is some great and exciting news =)
Samsung has been showing it's intent to make their updates faster...what will the unified carrier hardware and adding in 2 gigs of RAM for futureproofing.
I hope so...someone has said Q3 2012...we'll see

If the next Nexus phone is coming from Motorola Mobility Samsung will be sure to get JB into the GS3 by then to attract future customers.
I saw Q3 after JB announcement watching IO. Who knows when... but I don't think Samsung is waiting around to release it on their flagship phone.

Even if it is Q3, that starts tomorrow and only lasts through September. I think I can suffer through 3 or so months of ICS ;-) And besides... if they're already working on JB I think we'll probably have leaked builds within a week of the device's actual release. Exciting times ahead...

I was once one of them, had to learn the hard way.
I'm not sure i care about when samsung pushes the JB update to us
i just want pure google JB, damnit this phone will be perfect with pure jb
Well coming soon... hopefully that means SOON. Except if their is really no Flash support or no one can get it to work then forget it. I use Full sites not the craptastic mobile ones.
I really hope Samsung doesn't remove the Google Now search feature from JB (in order to keep it from "competing" with S Voice). One of the few things that bugs me about the TouchWiz implementation is how they remove the stock Android keyboard, in favor of the Samsung Keypad... which is a little ominous. Of course, you can just install the "stock" kb from the Market (if those "ports" are really as good as the stock versions; I'm using the "ICS kb" now on my Vibrant, and it seems pretty good, but haven't spent enough time with the stock kb to judge if it's the same)... I doubt Google Now will be made available the same way!

Yeah I was thinking about that too, but Google search is in the phone already so I doubt they removed it, what I really want is to jelly bean coded right with the new samsung, I can't believe I'm actually liking touchwiz tho, if they would let us customize the notifications toggle would be amazing

Already pre-ordered my Nexus 7. Can't wait for it to be shipped.
I was just reading through tons of news on portals, and I can't find any info about Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus and 4.2 being rolled out. I mean, Google surely has already decided what to do with us.
I mean honestly, I know Cyanogen or AOKP, or hopefully Rasbean will keep updating my favourite phone ever (really, I have never had a phone this awesome. Pioneer of it's price range and specs!) but I want to know if Google still likes their Nexus S.
it cant be that hard, I mean there really isnt anything new.
I wondered how long it would take for a thread title like this would come up..HAHA! :laugh:

Nice to hear all that. Nexus S ftw
Why not
Our Nexus S it's untill powerfull...
It better! I just bought a used one yesterday!
I think the chances are pretty good that the NS will get 4.2, but beyond that I'm skeptical. We're coming up on the phone's two-year anniversary for one thing. It's also begun to chug a bit with Jelly Bean, and I doubt the next major update will be any less resource intensive. Between the age and the hardware limitations, I suspect we're in the twilight months of Google support for the Nexus S.
must will get 4.2.... not official no problem :laugh:
this will probably be the last update the Nexus S gets.
Good thing tho, you know most likely that XDA will have some form of port.
I'm getting the Nexus 4 tho!!! my contract is almost up. I might even get it off contract! (AU$400 for 32GB, thats dirt cheap compared to the iPhone 5 which is AU$900! That's less than half the price, for better specs... and android... and build quality is improved dramatically from the previous Nexusesss)
I think it will get 4.2 ... it an incremental upgrade, so anything 'jellybean' we should get

I personally think about a Google "3 letters law" for Nexus devices. Nexus One went from E(Eclair) to G(Gingerbread), passing by Frojo, Nexus S will go from G to J passing by ICS, and GNex will "live" from I to L ... Officially speaking, I mean And, of course, I hope there will always be some clever group (like CyanogenMod, for example) or "one man band" who enjoy to develop ROM or kernel for our preferred devices :fingers-crossed:

You made the right choice .
It remains to be seen if the Nexus S and Xoom will get 4.2 or if 4.1.2 was the last update. We won't know until 4.2 gets released to AOSP. I will say that since they seem to have axed the Honeycomb-style tablet interface from 4.2, the Xoom may be out. As for the Nexus S...historically Google has only maintained support for the current and previous phone generation, which would now be the Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus. That said, however, I don't see anything major that would lead me to believe that the Nexus S couldn't run 4.2...unless they tossed out support for capacitive buttons entirely.
Regardless of whether or not there is a stock 4.2 ROM for either device, I'm sure the developers here will have custom ROMs that have it baked in.
