Many of you might remember Google saying that the Nexus One was out of luck, in terms of getting an official Ice Cream Sandwich update. CyanogenMod 9 has officially been ported to the device, making the Android community laugh in the face of Google’s suggestion that the good ol’ N1 was at the end of its lifespan. In the past few days, we’ve seen a handful of Android 4.0 ports surface for several different devices, but I know there’s a ton of people out there who still rock the OG Google phone like there’s no tomorrow — rightfully so, too — the device still ranks higher on the list than a few of the phones that have come out in the past two quarters. If you’re in that group of Nexus One owners who were feeling a bit left out, it’s time to turn that frown upside down.
Texasice, a member of the XDA Forums, has managed to get a pretty darn good ROM up and available for those of you brave enough to give it a spin. You’ll want to remember, this is still in an early beta stage, so there are a few things that need to be worked out yet before this will qualify as your daily driver. Here’s a look at what’s already working:
- 3G Radio
- Accelerometer
- Bluetooth
- Calling
- Compass
- GPS
- Headphone jack
- Home button (long press for task switcher)
- Led (TrackBall) Notifications (only white)
- MMS
- Network Stats and Quota
- Sound
- TouchScreen
- Wifi
- Trackball
- Camera
- USB mass storage (use adb)
- Hardware Accelaration
- Wifi Signal Strengh Icon in Status Bar
- Screenshots
- Some gapps sync items are intermittent

The article should be mentioning that this ROM requires your Nexus One to be completely new partitioned before flashing unlike any other custom N1 ROM and won’t be able to load any custom ROM after that if the whole partition process is not undone. Anyway this ICS ROM is really great missing hardware acceleration.
i don’t understand why they are porting ICS to older phones like the G1 Nexus1 but the new phones cant get it like the sensation or any of the new HTC.

Any idea how much internal memory is left for user apps after loading this ROM?
Found Out. They still seem to squeeze 190 MB for user data partition but reduce cache from 95 MB to 16 MB to accomodate for the growth in /System size
