mikegapinski is porting the latest version of Android - 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich!
Most of the features are finished a couple are broken/partially working. But here's what there is so far:
- USB/WIFI Tethering - Working with alternative apps
- RIL - Working
- Sound - Working
- Headset - Working
- Touchscreen - Working
- HW/3D - Working
- Screen - Working
- ADB - Working
- SDCard - Working
- Vibration - Working
- Sensors - Working
- WiFi - Working
- 3G - Working
- Bluetooth - Working
- GPS - Working
- Camera - Not working
Screenshots:
Beta 4 Changelog:
-The red shit is gone 100%
-EGL Hack is updated(performance)
-WiFi turn on issues are gone
-Edited prop for power safe(maybe it will last more)
-CM is most current now
-Kernel Build Number is #666 so god is watching
-Little errors are gone
One more thing – animations are liquid smooth now but I would recommend to change launcher to other for better performance O forgot to fix the time shit in frame so this is not working ! The battery life was tested by a few pepole – results are:
Total time 55:40:11, deep sleep 48:54:42 (Idle)
Total time 23:40:11, deep sleep 14:54:42 (Blend)
Total time 18:46:21, deep sleep 8:54:42 (Hardcore Angry Birds on Math)
If it won’t work go to Settings-WIFi-Advanced and turn the „Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep” to never or only when pulgged in And remember to flash on full battery and wipe the stats in recovery. It has to work now
Kernel Changes:
- New power and batt drivers from .29(using LG charging table, so now percentage is correct)
- Charges to 100%
- Console Switch on Early Suspend(working on ICS deep sleep alternative)
- CPU freq drivers from 3.0 Galaxy Nexus Kernel
- SWAP is enabled I think, test that
Now battery life is better I think but that needs testing still For best battery get SetCpu and set governor to smartass and set min clock to 122/245.
How to install:
Simply download the following .zip file, copy it to your SD Card, and flash it through recovery. If you don't know how to do this, reply to the thread and I'll let you know Also, if you're upgrading from Android 2.3, you have to wipe your data before flashing this .zip (again if you don't know how, reply to the thread).
Thanks for posting this, i'll try to help keep it up to date with new versions, Just so you know, the bugs that I posted in the other thread are ones members of XDA have found, and Mike has confirmed will be fixed in beta 2.
I have used it and it runs really smooth for me atleast appart from not being able to use the keyboard, so I couldnt set apns, to get my contacts from my google accont, so I couldnt really test calls and gsm on my unlocked sim, but it did know my carrier is three so i guess my gsm was working.
Also it takes Mike 6-7 hours to compile ICS so he may wait for more features to upload beta 2.
Also I should add that this rom is not rooted, you either have to root yourself, which right now I dont think is possible, or wait for mike to upload a rooted version which will come after rooting methods have been found I am sure.

I found it to run a bit laggy most of the time, and Wi-Fi seems to take quite a while to turn on, even so it's a bit useless without the keyboard to type in the key..

Right now it is, but some people claim to have got keyboards working when they install through ADB, I am just trying to get someone to share a HTC one they say they have got working and I will try it out. For now however I have rolled back to swiftdroid until beta 2 or someone links to a keyboard that works.
Personnaly I have tried better keyboard and slide it, neither of which worked.
Edit: Here is a link to the keyboard confirmed working with this beta, if anyone wants to try it, but as dudeman said in its current state this is not a day to day rom right now, its ok to test but be sure you have a backup of your previous ROM
To install it connect your phone to your PC, ensuring you have all adb drivers installed which if you still have the files from dudemans Swiftdroid post you should do.
Open a command line by going to start and searching for "cmd"
In that type "cd C:\Android" without quotation marks, this is providing the Android folder is where you have adb installed
Then type "adb install jonasl.ime-1.apk" this will install the apk and you can go to language and input settings and enable the HTC_mod keyboard.

Other thread text removed!
Also u should add some screenshots!
EDIT: posting auto installers is re uploading miks rom..
i think u should ask him to upload to his account so he can at
least get some money for people downloading...
i am pretty sure he said no mirrors, i know this isn't a mirror but still!
Just an advice!

Ah that's true, I'll take down the links until I get in contact with him.
How? CyanogenMod 9 (the ICS version) isn't even out yet.
On xda mike has said he has the CM repo on his PC, and CM9 has been ported to 2 devices (not sure which) but its a really early version, and there is a changelog for the Nexus S CM9 here.

Everything has to start somewhere though, and early 2012 isnt bad for the full release about 2-3 months.
That's true, but I've read on Mike's Twitter that he's making good progress, the .35 kernel is finished, but the changelog isn't good enough for another release. Should hopefully see one soon!

Hopefully, cant wait to get ICS running on my phone full time
@mikegapinski: @eoghan_2t7 it will be an suprise for 6th of december
2 more days until what could be a near-full release! From what I've seen on his Twitter/XDA posts, the .35 kernel is done, and everything (I think) is working!

Yup and 2day is 6th of december and nothing yet.
Its night already but mikes time zone is different.

18 Hours ago he Tweeted that he's compiling the ROM. He's mentioned before that that takes around 19 hours to do. So we should hopefully get something by the end of today!
Also, he's Polish; and as far as I know, Poland's timezone is +1 hour ahead of London.
I'm reading this being a young 43 year old thinking what have I done with my life when these young guys are changing an operating system to effectively put a square peg in a round hole .......for fun

So Mike's been Tweeting that he's got new specs on his PC, and can now build ICS in just 4 hours as opposed to the 19 hours it used to take; and he can build Gingerbread in just 30 minutes. I just spoke to him, and he said that after he's done PC updates, he'll build ICS! So by tomorrow, we'll definitely have a decent version of ICS working with hopefully the .35 kernel!
EDIT: He said that with cache on, ICS only takes 30 mins to build! We could see a build in the next hour or 2!

anymore news on this Dudeman? is Mike having any new problems?!!!
Not yet, he's fixed a lot of things including 3D. There's just a few more things. He wants to get it to the state Gingerbread is in before releasing it (so that's basically everything working..). But he did say he's trying to get it done for Christmas
These 2 will be included in the next release (think there is a planned bug fix release tomorrow)
Also there is a problem with the market not downloading which will be fixed in the next release.
I have been using this ROM for a few hours and it is really smooth if you follow the steps in the video on the release notes, if you did a titanium backup there is a link to the latest apk here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082385 copy the apk to your sd card or install through adb then you can restore your apps so you dont need the market.
Back in the bootloader builder on System size select 200MB and the data size will change as well, click Flash new bootloader and click the ok buttons, next click wipe data and then reboot.
While your phone is rebooting hold the camera button to re-enter fastboot (you may notice some changes but its ok it works the same) and use the commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
And it should work fine
PS the reboot after resizing partitions is required or the new rom will not flash.
The Following User Says Thank You to Delsus For This Useful Post:
Dudeman, could you update opening post with new links/screenshots? Thanks!
Shall do, I've made a new installer which is a hell of a lot more user friendly. For both ICS and CM7. They'll be uploaded in a bit. Also, I've finally upgraded my phone, so my posts on these forums might be a bit delayed
EDIT: Done! Check the first post
