Can Anyone Explain ICS to me please!!

[nate44]

I think a much better name would have been Jagermeister.

If that's your idea of a dessert, you got problems

I believe it has been already reported that It is going to be Jellybean.

Should be Jelly Donut

And I'm more looking forward to seeing ICS on a tablet, more so than on a phone

The names are development code names. The names are based on desserts and are released alphabetically. Google started the convention with Cupcake.

Cupcake (v1.5)
Donut (v1.6)
Eclair (v2.0 - 2.1)
Froyo (Frozen Yogurt) (v2.2)
Gingerbread (v2.3 - 2.4+)
Honeycomb (v3.0 - 3.2+)
Ice Cream Sandwich (v4.0)

i guess it is too early to waitfor peanut butter sandwich

That's not a dessert. Pineapple Upside-down Cake or Peach Cobbler would be more appropriate.

I never thought that an Android thread could make me so hungry

I thought about that one, but they already had Donut, so it would be repetitive. They could use Jelly Roll, though,

I think you have way too much free time.

So what happens after "Z"

So what happens after "Z"

They have until 2027 (if they stick to a yearly release cycle) to figure that out

 

[frmorrison]

So what happens after "Z"

They could start over with a new topic, like instead of deserts pick fruits/veggies.

Not to mention that Verizon & HTC have an official Gingerbread out for the DINC too.

The thread that covers manually updating a DINC to Gingerbread is here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible/116534-over-air-gingerbread.html

Just rename to update.zip, drop it on the root of the SD card and reboot into Recovery.

I don't root phones (so no custom ROMs as the previous poster mentioned). And I'm a little reluctant to ruin my perfectly good DInc with the manual Gingerbread update you talk about. I have read numerous threads where people updated their DIncs with that Gingerbread install only to find it unusable from random reboots/white screens, memory issues, etc.. There's a reason Verizon stopped pushing out the OTA updates. They had to replace too many ruined handsets. Some folks have reported getting a DInc 2 as replacement, so it wouldn't totally suck if they ruined my phone with the OTA, I guess. But I won't be eligible to get anything as replacement if I ruin it myself.

This is why I'm sticking with Nexus phones... Manufacturers/carriers don't ruin it, Google WANTS the software to run well on the phone and WILL make it run well.

I do root my phones if possible, but don't bother so much with custom ROMs on my Nexus S cuz Gingerbread is good and ICS looks pretty awesome!

I wish I had root on my Japanese phone though, just so I could backup a few things or use some apps that need root, but otherwise yeah rooting isn't such a big deal now as it used to be.

 

[Yanks4me]

Thanks for all the info I've read so far! Very helpful to me.

 

[TK1841]

I am just curious to know which phones are running this now, are there plans to bring everyone up to speed on this. It seems as if my X2 got the GB update just a couple of months ago.

 

[srkmagnus]

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the only phone with an official release at the moment. Manufacturers will release ICS updates in due time... But to select devices only.
