  • Google Confirms Ice Cream Sandwich For Nexus S And “Most” Gingerbread Devices

    Google’s Gabe Cohene has just confirmed that their previous Nexus device the Nexus S will be getting an update to Ice Cream Sandwich just as we thought.

    He along with the Director of Android operating system User Experience Matias Duarte think that most Gingebread devices are capable of getting an upgrade to Android 4.0. “Currently in the process for releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S. Theoretically should work for any 2.3 device.”

    If this is true wait onto your Galaxy S II’s and Sensations, a tasty Ice Cream Sandwich with a bit of OEM topping on top should be coming to your device soon. Ice Cream Sandwich for the Nexus One is still not confirmed though.

  • Ice Cream Sandwich Source Code Confirmed For Release By Android Engineer But Not Before Galaxy Nexus Launch

    Everybody’s wondering where the much awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich source code since there was no mention of a release at Samsung and Google’s Galaxy Nexus and ICS event in Hong Kong earlier today.

    Luckily an Android Engineer Dan Morrill, aka morrildl decided to tell us exactly what was going on:

    To reiterate, these servers contain only the ‘gingerbread’ and ‘master’ branches from the old AOSP servers. We plan to release the source for the recently-announced Ice Cream Sandwich soon, once it’s available on devices.

    The Galaxy Nexus will be the first Ice Cream Sandwich device and will land in stores by mid of November so we can expect the source code by then. If you’re wondering what a source code is, well it’s basically the main code Vanilla Android is based on. Custom ROM maker like CyanogenMod use this source code to create the ROMs we all love to use.

  • Bloatware Is Gonna Be A Thing Of The Past In Ice Cream Sandwich

    In Android 4.0 you are able remove any system application from your phone which includes core apps like the browser and Gmail, but we’ve always wondered if carriers would be able limit this ability and install un-removable bloatware like they did with the recent Android phones.

    According to ThisIsMyNext this is not the case in Ice Cream Sandwich as you can remove carrier installed applications too, now isn’t that the best news ever? I don’t know about you guys but Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is shaping up to be the best Android update ever, take a bow Matias Duarte you deserve it.
