ISSUES
-My keyboard wouldn't come up on first boot, again for no apparent reason, worked fine after a reboot.
*FIX: after first boot go to menu>settings>language&keyboard>Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard>Input language and select a language. People have said this fixes it.

The best compliment you can give a Dev is a Donation!
 
When I asked the Dev when a dl link will be available to the public, his response was:

"When we can figure out how to get the status bar to show up lol that's the only issue though, everything else is working great."

So it could be a couple days be we're able to flash this....:eek:

It's not like we don't have a dozen other ROM's to flash in the meantime! :D

So I am going to post a link, right here, for the entire rom. I just redid all the major apks (framework, resources, SystemUI) and I *may* have found the problem, but who knows. So you guys can flash/test at your own risk, but I am making no guarantees that you will have a statusbar haha. If you do flash, please report back here with your findings/ideas and of course feel free to post ANYTHING that may be helpful if the problem still persists, you can post the entire rom if you redid it and want to.

On a positive note, my original tester (bless his heart, I put him through hell tonight) said that everything else was working great, so once the statusbar decides to show herself it should be good to go. If the statusbar is there or someone gets it working, please tests wifi and 4g because those were unable to be tested without the statusbar. Thanks for all the support guys and I really hope we can get this ironed out. So without further adieu:"

Here's the download link (you can also dl from the ROM's/Kernel's sticky):

Is this just an Ice Cream look alike running Gingerbread, or is this a legit ICS running ROM? I remember when devs got their hands on GB and HC that they uploaded some ROMs for our phones but those were still running 2.2 Froyo and just looked like HC and GB.

From the Dev:

"Let me preface this by saying: THIS IS NOT BASED ON ANDROID 4.0...I'm not that good. Are you dying to use Ice Cream Sandwich, but need a fully functioning rom? Well I was in your shoes, so I developed this rom. This is as close as you can get to ICS without actually using it. It is extremely heavily themed with over 700 pngs from both the ICS system dump and the Slate theme from HTC."

It is based on official 4.53 GB RUU w/ ICS elements.

Thank you for the clarification :) I'll try it just to see how it runs. It looks great. If I have any more questions, I'll be sure to check the link. My bad :p lol
