[Q] Status of ics port

---

What's the status of an ics port now that there is cwm for the u.s ago 5.0?

Seriously? You think CWM is going to bring us ICS?

CWM is probably 1% of the work required to port ICS. ICS may not even be possible.

CM7 is more likely, but even a CM bringup to a device is tough.

People need to realize that a bringup of a newer version of Android on a device that hasn't been released for that device is almost unheard of. Even AOSP bringups for a device to the same version as what is available often fail (see Bluetooth on many CM7 ports to Samsung devices.) The GalaxyS ICS success is the exception not the norm.

I know its tough but there is still the possibility of it happening even cm7 would be great on this device

CM7 might happen... I'm not sure if I really have the time for it though.

ICS is highly unlikely unless Samsung upgrades the Player to ICS. Keep in mind that even when not trying to version-jump, I believe that CM7 doesn't have working hardware accelerated video playback on a lot of devices that have it stock - An annoyance on a phone but a killer on a dedicated media player.

Do you think its possible to port touchwiz 4.0 on the device? Is it faster than cm7?
