It has the support, but is it available for our phone? And what's the point without gpu drivers.

I'd like to see some performance numbers between GB & ICS, doubt they'll be much different.

We have the jarvis kernel 3xxx and his updater/tweaking app for ics, but agree with you guys and the functionality of gingerbread/cm7. Don't forget to check out my interview with cm_arcee, link at top!

Thanks for the interview link, it's great to have a brief inside "peek" of the person behind the scenes.

Currently I"m on stock 2.3.3.
but for the last couple months i have been on ics mostly for cosmetic reasons.
I enjoyed the new widgets and lock screen options.(Not face unlock)

I really haven't noticed a difference in speed. cm7 and stock are far more stable then any ics build i have used.

I'm actully back to stock now because i wanted to upgrade to the new bb. Probably going to stay this way until linaro gets integrated with hellfire sandwich.

ics

---

google put a lot of work into making ics a lot more polished, obviously they can't make the design appeal to everybody so the only way you can really tell if you will like it better than gb is to try it, I recommend the hellfire sandwich rom, it is by far the most stable and complete rom, and we are looking at linaro in the next build which means that it is 100% faster than stock android

hellfire sandwich pg 502, hfs already supports new bb

I use stock rooted with the new baseband and its extremely stable

i too updated the baseband and love the new stock 2.3.4, but i also like running the latest cm7, everything just works (well except for BT right now LOL)

better battery life and video are the reasons i stay on GB, but i do love ICS and flash it all the time when someone releases a new version (Genesis and Eaglesblood are the ones i use)

in ICS i really like the chrome browser and task manager when you hold home. the rest is about the same but i get a little better battery with EB build2 and i just changed to HFS so hopefully it keeps the better battery.

there is also hardware support just not in the menu menu, flash and openGL are supported.
