Ice Cream Sandwich

Sadly you are thinking totally unrealistically. ICS (4.0) requires atleast a 1ghz processor which the p500 only has just over half of with the ARMv6 600mhz processor. Also the p500 does not have enough ram to support ICS. Another problem that will occur is there is not enough grapics power to support the new visualisations of 4.0 so I would consider upgrading to a new phone if you are so desperate for ICS

You meant this link

The GSM isn't working for some. Specifically for those using SIM with PIN (have it installed and no signal). Also you must have new baseband, so that's a no go for old baseband users.
And to why is that? Cause Cyanogen-mod officially supports new baseband only.

What' working in alpha 1?


  • Full HWAcceleration (no 3D yet)
  • Bluetooth
  • 3D gallery
  • Sensors
  • Electron Beam OFF
  • GPS(????)
  • GSM (for some - no data yet)
  • TOUCHSCREEN
  • Screenshots
Audio is fixed now, JIT also so next release will be more fun.

Take a note that this ROM isn't for a daily use, only to see things to come. Btw. you can play 2D games.

Down side is a battery drain, better to say - the phone doesn't go to deep sleep. So your battery gets drained in less than a day (doesn't matter if you use the unit or not).

Also no 3G data yet nor Wi-Fi (you will need to use static IP address), but as you should have guessed this ROM is still alpha phase and also for devs/geeks only.
