most of the cool stuff in ICS is already in some version of sense already. What I'm really interested in is seeing what HTC does with ICS.

This is dumped from the SDK, so don't ever expect anything truly usable to come out of it.

^ I was going to ask how this would be different from the source, but that makes sense if it's from the SDK. That's just used to make apps and such correct?

ICS is supoose to be a stock android experience. Google has said that ICS is to end fragmentation across the various handsets. Differing UI such as touchwiz, blur and Sense do nothing but slow down updates to people's phones. I'd be shocked if Google allows its partners to slap a new UI on top of ICS.

Nexus phones are designed to run stock Android, but I've read nothing specific about ICS itself being mandated to be stock and only stock. The only specifics Google has offered as to the fragmentation issue is an agreement with manufacturers/carriers to support new devices with updates for the first 18 months which, honestly, doesn't accomplish all that much. Given Android's update history, that'll generally only guarantee one OS version upgrade, two at the most if the phone is released at the right time to span two OS releases.

As for disallowing custom UI's, again, I've read nothing suggesting Google plans to restrict this. As it's one of the primary ways each manufacturer differentiates their product, I'd be shocked if Google can, or has any interest in, doing anything about it beside the aforementioned pledge of 18 months of support.

Well, couldn't you take the code used to write the apps and use that to figure out the code for ICS??

Just curious since I know nothing about this stuff.

No...you could not. Reverse engineering wouldnt apply to SDK...because its only a system dump.

Then again ive seen stranger things. So who knows.

    I know this kinda defeats the purpose of what I'm actually saying, but I think when it comes to releases like this, if you don't have any beneficial input such as ideas on how to accomplish this, then shut up! Like, how can the devs work if they're constantly being bombarded with "This is impossible, we don't have source code yet..." It's ridiculous. Just let the people work, and when they get it working you won't look like an idiot for saying it couldn't be done, and putting your foot in your mouth. If you don't say it, then no one will think you're an idiot for saying something absurd. Now, please leave the devs alone!!!

    So here's the good news the pointer is now working. Touch still needs to be tweaked, I think it's the idc file.

    Edit: New working touchscreen build.

    Uploading now... :)

    Just sent rm2011 the source, he'll upload it to the Git. Then everyone can test or work on it.

    Waiting for a phone from insurance before I take a look at it. Should have it at some point on Monday but no promises about getting anything working. :)

    Thank you Tyler. :) Very well said. I mean... If people want to put their time into it, why would you not just support them or shut up? If you want to offer your opinion, thats cool. But don't try to discourage, judge, or put down the hard working devs. Just my 2¢.

    Flashing the rom now w/ the compiled changes. Hopefully touch works.
