Owners of the Samsung Epic 4G will be excited to learn that an alpha version of CyanogenMOD 9 was made available yesterday, thanks to the hard work and efforts from the EpicCM team. Granted, there’s still a long list of bugs and issues that need to be dealt with — this is far from a [...]
If you own a Motorola Atrix 4G and have waited patiently for your device to make the roll call for some Ice Cream Sandwich lovin’, your patience has just paid off. Thanks to the Atrix and Photon dev teams and XDA Senior Member, jokersax11, there is now an early build of CyanogenMOD 9 available for those [...]
Owners of the Motorola DROID 2 Global got a nice surprise this Christmas in the form of an early CM9 port, thanks to XDA Member ngocha2006. For those unaware, CM9 is the upcoming release from the CyanogenMod team, based on Ice Cream Sandwich (aka Android 4.0.3). Keep in mind, this is an unofficial port, which has been [...]
Owners of the original Motorola DROID can exhale a collective sigh of relief, now that an Ice Cream Sandwich project is underway for their phone. Unfortunately the CyanogenMod team has not changed their plans to drop support for the device. We all know the CM crew has been very busy as of late; in fact, they [...]
Sorry to overload you with HTC news today, but it just keeps on coming. Owners of the HTC Sensation who have patiently been waiting for a taste of Sense 3.5-laced Ice Cream Sandwich will be glad to hear that their wait is over. A major thanks is due to robocik, a recognized developer from the XDA [...]
As we constantly post about the yummy Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs being ported to high-end devices, we tend to forget about the “not-so” high-end devices. The Samsung Galaxy Mini is getting some nice ICS love, by getting a CM9-ICS based ROM with everything working except the Live Wallpaper. There are some glitches happening with the camera, [...]
If you own a Motorola DROID X, get ready for the best news you’ve gotten in a long time. Thanks to firstEncounter, a member of the RootzWiki community, there is now an alpha port of CyanogenMod 9 (Ice Cream Sandwich and all its glory) available for you to download and flash. This kanged port contains a [...]
Two Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3) ports for the Motorola XOOM (WiFi and LTE) are now available for the taking, thanks to the hard work of some great folks from XDA. razorbladex401 is heading up the project for the WiFi-only XOOM, while xxspark89xx is in charge of the port for the 3G/4G model. Unfortunately, the ports lack camera functionality, [...]
Yesterday we brought you news that Android 4.0.3 is rolling out to the T-Mobile Nexus S. Now, less than 24 hours later, Android developer Beezy has done it again. He put together a nice little port for the Nexus S 4G and even gave it a humorous name to distinguish the ROM from the rest of [...]
Here’s another reason to wish you got in on last week’s final-swoop HP TouchPad $99 sale. scott951, from the XDA Forums, proudly posted the first official pre-alpha MIUI ROM for the device, and the progress looks to be coming along rather nicely. It’s been known for quite a while now that the CyanogenMod team has been [...]
The original Samsung Galaxy S II (the I-9100) now has a TouchWiz-flavored version of Ice Cream Sandwich, thanks to the good folks from SamMobile. Even better, all the essential stuff is already working — calling, SMS, data and WiFi are all a go. Keep in mind, this ROM is not an AOSP build. As I mentioned [...]
It was funny when Google dropped their source code for Ice Cream Sandwich, Stormy and Simon told me that my phone, the lovely HTC G2, was having it’s very own ICS ROM developed for it before their phones. Naturally, I gave Stormy my “HAHA’s” and “my phone is better than yours” stabs, but was quickly [...]
The HTC myTouch 4G now has a “stable” Ice Cream Sandwich ROM, thanks to the hard work of febycv and a few other good folks from XDA. I used quotations for the word stable because there are still two pretty important features that need to be fixed before I can personally consider this a daily driver. As of today, [...]
Ice Cream Sandwich has been ported to the HTC Incredible S, thanks to the hard work of st.matt and l0st.prophet from the XDA Forums. Apparently, the ROM is coming along pretty nicely too — there’s only four things that need to be worked out: tethering, UMS, USB tethering, and camera. These kinks will all get ironed out eventually, but it’s [...]
The Galaxy Nexus got its first custom ROM yesterday evening. The project, entitled “Android Revolution HD,” comes to us from mike1986 on RootzWiki, and brings to the table a slew of optimization and performance enhancements — including one that’s sure to make you drool — EXT4 file system support. You may have heard of it, it’s fairly common among [...]
