ICS Code Source is OUT !

[EddyOS]

baadnewz has always released Sense-based ROMs, never seen an AOSP one as I'm not sure he knows how to compile a ROM from source. You also need the relevant drivers to be written from scratch as none currently exist for 4.1 with regards to the Sensation

Correct, as Baad says himself, he's a cook, not a dev.

Re resizing.... ICS is supposed to support multiple resolutions isn't it?.

Yeah if I am not mistaken it is suppose to support multiple resolution sizes, dual core processors, and hardware acceleration.

You know I find it funny I have seen nobody talking about the fact that not only was ICS source code for the Galaxy Nexus released yesterday. But the source code for Honeycomb was also released yesterday too. I know ICS has most if not all the features of Honeycomb, but still finally real development can start for tablets too.

Yeah, Google don't want that to happen as ICS replaces Honeycomb on tablets too.

Wouldn't this mean that we need to wait for HTC to release their ICS binaries for the sensation before we can get a (mostly) working ROM.

This is straight from Google:

Starting with IceCreamSandwich, the Android Open-Source Project can't be used from pure source code only, and requires additional hardware-related proprietary libraries to run, specifically for hardware graphics acceleration.

Official binaries for Nexus S, Nexus S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, and PandaBoard can be downloaded from Google's Nexus driver page, which add access to additional hardware capabilities with non-Open-Source code.

There are no official binaries for Nexus One, ADP2 or ADP1.

Sounds like we will be waiting till HTC can churn out a Sense ROM and drivers before we get some ICS goodness. Or do we have Devs here capable of writing their own driver binaries for the sensation? Do we even have access to the source code for HTC's Gingerbread drivers?
