3.0 kernel shouldnt be to far away as most manufacturers have updated drivers out there.. just a matter of tracking down the right .h and .cpp files to patch the source with to compile.. which is easier said than done at times.. ive been working on the optimus m for a while now.. have a booting AOSP ICS rom.. but not much works.. biggest issue i have encountered and seen on many other devices is the touchscreen.. new kernel requires different calls to be compatible with multiple interfaces.. when it comes to ics.. the kernel is everything.. 95% of the issues are kernel issues.. just a matter of waiting for or writing your own updates to get everything functional.. been working on that as well.. i would love to see ics on this phone and the hardware is fully capable of it.. just going to be a matter of time.. and probable not going to see much if any support from samsung.. best bet.. find a samsung device that is running ics.. download the kernel source, compare the drivers in that source for the ultra with the drivers from the 2.3 kernel source and see what, if any, changes have been made.. and try to compile it for the ultra.. and troubleshoot the errors from there.. the closest i have come to a working touchscreen on the optimus was taking the kernel source from one of there other devices and compiling it for the optimus.. got rid of my having to use 2 fingers to navigate problem.. sorta.. when from having to use 1 finger to move the cursor and using the other finger to select things while the first finger was still touching the screen to registering taps as a selection.. but not moving the cursor.. still working on it though.. onl a matter of time
