[DEV] Oh hey, Galaxy Nexus full System dump (Ice Cream Sandwich)

Hey guys,
Thanks to Paul O'Brien over at MoDaCo we now have a full system+recovery dump of the Galaxy Nexus running Ice Cream Sandwich.
http://android.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/04-nov-icl23d-galaxy-nexus-boot-recovery-r51

This is really cool.

Wow, hopefully now developers can create ICS inspired custom roms. Cheers!

there's like 10 of these over at the dhd section lol

No ... This is a system dump from the phone ... Not an SDK dump ... This good ...

Where did you hear this?

These are the files you need to port a device. They need to be altered severely to run on the incs. Extreme development knowledge is needed to make use of this. However a developer could grab bits and pieces from it if they have greater knowledge in one area than another.

The ics update will be coming to this and many other htc devices as stated yesterday to myself in a bell store by an htc rep.

but it won't come anytime this year, probably end of Q1 or Q2 2012.

As usual, doesn't have incredible s inside the namelist...

incredible s is abandoned already i think lol

if it comes to sensation xl, with has almost same specs, just better cpu, it will be for sure ported to incredible s (if htc doesn't release it officially)

You guys are reading into this way too much.
All they did was give a few obvious ones that would get the upgrade. They never said the rest of their products weren't.

What developers can do with this?

Let me quote myself:
"Right now[...]"
You see? I'm talking about what they've said so far, but what'll happen in the future; sorry, I can't tell and therefore I won't do anything else then hope that HTC will give us an official update to 4.0.
But from what Google said when they showed 4.0, I think that it'll come to the IncS. Sometime.
And to your last part; no, they didn't.
"We’re continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich."
From the same link that I linked in my previous post. So, I'm fully aware of the fact that this only seems to be a preliminary statement from HTC.

ICS roms

Is there any custom ICS roms? sorry for sounding stupid but I cant find any.

Seems like there are 2 available and the developers have moved away from xda. One is made by Pirateghost and called Rum Float: http://blog.androidninjas.com/rom-dev/htc-vivid/rum-float/
The other is made by WildChild and you have to register to see the vivid section here: http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/

Anyone tried these custome ROMS?
Hey, has anyone tried these custome ROMS, I would like to get something without AT&T apps included......

wildchild has a generic one that has all the att stuff removed

Hi xda,
It would seem that I've jumped into this a little late, but what happened to make all the cooks leave xda and ignore the Vivid, Velocity etc.
Sorry but I've been away from xda for about 12 months while living in Blackberry-land.
I'd really like an ICS ROM for my Velocity without HTC's bastard 'Sense' bloatness.
Also - is getting root access to the Velocity as easy as it was for the HD2?
Cheers;

CM9 port is being worked on. Check the dev thread. Other than that, there are Sense ICS ROM's available, just not many here.. at this point.
As far as what happened, no need to stir up bad memories Look through some of the threads from last month and you'll figure it out. In the mean time, follow the golden rule, and the rules of the forum, and maybe they'll start trickling back in

I am using Wild Childs at&t build of ics. It is awesome! He did an outstanding job with the rom. Silky smooth, looks like stock without the bloat! Plus with the mods here in the forums like extended menu, signal icon changer, and some other mods you can't beat it. This phone rocks hard!

IMO its the lesser of all evils. Every brand has their own "skin". So even if you prefer AOSP, you might as well get the brand with the best looking and best functioning skin. Of course there is the nexus phones, but those aren't for everyone.

Agreed. I just don't know that I could talk myself into the investment of a device that runs software that I hated, with the possibility of not be able to change it. Granted there are things being worked on now (CM9), but let's be real, this phone was released in November and to this point we haven't seen anything Sense-less (for reasons beyond the dev's control - just got kernel source 10 days ago fcs), it would be very tough for me to buy the device at this point if I hated Sense . I don't know how long shayla's had theirs though...

Awaiting ICS OTA

Anyone else waiting for this to drop since the beginning of April?
Awaiting cm9 as well as an explosion of dev input. counting down the days to get stoked!

Yes ICS has been released for these devices.

Well, I've found this on the web
HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks.

I'm using IceColdSandwich as well, but having camcorder working is a big deal!
Just 2 days ago I was burning inside for not be able to record my drunk friends xD
IMHO official ICS= camcorder working, I can't figure out what else could mean...

I can't wait for the official release too! One of nu friends had the official ICS on his Nexus and it's amazing, just amazing.
Last few days I'm checking for the ICS update every hour...

The stock ROM from HTC will have all of the appropriate drivers for wifi, bluetooth, camera, cam-corder, etc, so those apps should work better on. HTC doesn't have to release the source code for these drivers.
CM9 and AOSP based ROMS generally have generic device drivers that don't always work correctly or as well as the stock ROMs.

haha i know dude i was being sarcastic

if I remember right, l0st.prophet already developed a kernel some time ago. so i guess he has the knowledge.
but i am pretty sure that htc releases the kernel sources when the desire s OTA update is finished. then all updates are done (the bad DHD news were not bad news in this case so far)

The DHD news is bad I think, because we are only marginally better specced/newer than them, so does that mean we only just scarped in the requirements for ICS and therefore may possibly be overlooked for JB? Not saying we WILL be, just that our phone will be the same age as the DHD is now when they start rolling out the JB OTA to phones like Sensation and One phones

Personally I don't think HTC will give us JB. So we're probably on our own this time. But if the rumor that "JB is not so much different from ICS" is true, then we're likely to get a port, at least AOSP/AOKP.

Thats what I honestly thought with ICS, so we shouldn't start making assumptions I think
Yeah, the Ice Cold rom was made stable and nearly perfect before the ICS OTA was released
BUT, this time, Lord Clockan, the dev of Ice Cold, might not be with us, because unfortunately for us he sold his DHD when he bought his HOX

Does anyone know if Nik has asked the CM devs from Desire S Nexxx and NK111, some of the other devs? IIRC it was superkid or nk111 who fixed the audio flinger

There isn't a lot of point to this for devices that officially have Android 4.0 (saga, vivo e.t.c) as HTC will have to release kernel sources to comply with GPL. The vision and ace will not be getting an official 3.0 kernel, therefore no source, therefore the need for a port.
As far as Nik's JB port he is having an issue which others seem to have encountered but we are unable to get any information on how it was fixed, appears to be a scheduler issue.
This post belongs in general.

No Vivo isn't in the "Stable" list, last official CM version for Vivo is 7. something...
So yeah the reason i posted is for someone to try and use maybe HTC One's rom and see if it could be reworked for Inc S.

We already have CM10 build with us. But we have one huge roadblock, we don't have asop kernel to run this ROM.

I'd say most likely that is the case. You will have to be happy with what we have at moment with possibility of some improvements of currents roms and maybe 1-2 more new roms but I doubt any stable cm9 or 10 will be available.

Today one of my colleague brought his newly bought Samsung note 2..... my phone looks like so puny and outdated in front of his phone
After that I realized, whatever update we may get, it will not be very smooth as new phones in market are.....
Anyways whatever may happen,I still love my phone and would keep it with me whether we would get CM 9/10 , JB etc or not....
