If you're asking for a specific release date, then no, no one knows, but Google said a few weeks. It has been confirmed that the Nexus S/4G will be receiving the update though.

That's what I said when I tried it because of my OCD.

No problemo!

Btw, what wallpaper are you using?

I like the underlined Google search, not the boxed in. Just sayin'.

Glad you saw how easy it was with ROM Toolbox.

I like both, but this one is more Galaxy Nexus-ish which is the look I'm aiming for.

It's the Black Hole live wallpaper that someone linked at some point. LOL

This is taken from the AndroidCentral.com main blog page... I know its in a HTC related blog/post but who knows if this is Sprint's thoughts on all their devices...

"Sprint will begin to rollout Google's latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, to our customers in early 2012. Ice Cream Sandwich will be available via an over-the-air update to a variety of devices including HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and other key products in our line-up."

Maybe I'm reading too much into this and I know Sprint doesn't control Nexus S updates but it does make you wonder about this one... I hope I'm wrong and we will see it much sooner...

[Re: does the Nexus One Gingerbread build boot with Nexus S animation]

Yes, it does.

OK, I concede! Still I will be disappointed if we don't see better colors/graphics on the boot animation and Phase Beam LWP with the official release. They must just not be optimized correctly for this device.

Google controls the updates so I don't see why Sprint would roll it out to us in early 2012. That'd be crazy. We'd have this ROM if that was the case.

Uploading a fix...

 

[Batting1000]

Download an alternate launcher from the market, delete the launcher2.apk, and push the following file using adb in the file manager of ddms.bat of the sdk manager tools.

I think it fixes the wallpaper issue.

Flash the above file, no need to wipe unless you really want to. Then download the free version of ROM Toolbox, go to the Performance tab > build.prop tweaks > change LCD Density to 210 (my mistake earlier, I said 215). Reboot.

EDIT: Actually 215 and 210 are pretty similar, I don't notice any differences.

Great build! I was kinda hoping for the new Download and Settings icons baked in, but it's all good

Remember, besides the radio, there are two apps that Sprint added to the gingerbread ROM for the NS4G.

WiMax and Sprint Settings...

How long do you think it will take them to update two apps that will also be required on the HTC phones they will be upgrading in early 2012?

I think the NS4G will be the first Sprint phone to get official Android 4.0

There's a flashable zip in the late 190's.

Any fix for Google Music on the 3.6 rom? It doesn't want to work at all. It keeps saying "Failed to play the requested track" or something along those lines on every song.
