I believe it has the chance of getting ICS but definetly not from Samsung. SGA has a very large amount of users and skillful developers who could make it happen.

We may have to be patient though.. Even Nexus S, which has the official support from Google, hasn't even recieved the upgrade yet. CMIIW.

They won't be pushing ICS to Nexus S when Prime hasn't even been out and ICS unveiled in Hong Kong on Wednesday.

Yeah.. Lame old marketing tactics lol.

By the way, I've seen some leaked videos of Prime and S running ICS and from there I could understand that even S wont have the exact same version of ICS the Prime will have... Well at least for the GUI.

Have a look at this.

If I had to choose I'd rather have a completely stable and optimized Gingerbread instead of an ICS. Stable meaning every feature working the way it should, like my wifi actually reconnecting after sleep.

The main advantages on ICS are:
1) dual core support and hardware accelerating
2) New UI.
Because neither of those are relevant to Galaxy Ace, I'm fine with Gingerbread.
But XDA developers are really fast and they will port ICS even if Samsung wouldn't.

but i have heard taht the update will be for 1 yr old devices i think galaxy ace is 1 yr old only...so we can get
Yeah maybe for some high-end devices that is..

And really, I wouldnt expect much from Samsung in the term of firmware updates.

Maybe we could just put our hope on a new ICS-based CM instead :rolleyes:

Yup there's a new agreement for companies to provide software updates till the 1 year or so is up. We're probably getting it but of course they will prioritize.

New version of OS is one of marketing tricks to lure people into buying new phones, I'm quite sure that we won't see ICS stock from Samsung, but nevermind, we have great developers, so just wait for CM 8 an' see :)

It'd really be pointless though. ICS is a much more optimised version of HC which should bring full SMP support through software, something that has gone begging for quite a while to take advantage of phones like the S2. Maybe they are adding GPU rendering as well. Another useless perk for the Ace as the GPU is ****.

Also, why bother porting ICS to ARMv6? It's a complete waste of resources when it's almost likely to provide little to no benefit.

My opinion at least. Don't get your hopes up for ICS/ICS-based CM8.

And what about some battery improvements in ICS? Maybe the phone won 't go faster but battery life could be higher. Or am i wrong?

Don't sound so negative guys, IV seen some old android phones running a ported gingerbread so anything is possible, never underestimate what the power of coding and patience can do

    First of all if we'd get ICS we'd get like 3x/4x the performance of gingerbread because of the hardware acceleration and new improvements.The display and ram needed is not a problem.ICS is supposed to unify the phones and tablets more and if we have gingerbread 2.3.5 we should have ICS.
    WHY?
    Maybe because every device but nexus s has 2.3.5 the latest version official.
    Just nexus s has 2.3.7 and nexus one I believe.

    Our ace is new and although a little grungy it still has 800mhz with the potential to oc and it actually has 512 with alot of ram used by the OS so not usable by us.WE GOT to 2400 quadrant score and it can be better after OC and some graphic drivers.

    So just shut up and wait for it.I have no doubt that we will get it and get it officially.If not CM9 is always there!
