Guest fonix232 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 Although I can't tell you much, but here are some pics: WARNING! Huge pics! Sorry for that :S
Guest mcfischsam Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 uuuhhhhh =) i want it too =) could you give a source? or a date when you can tell more?
Guest fonix232 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 I have signed an NDA with Google and ZTE to do not distribute anything about it. All I can tell is that ICS is simply amazing, and blazing fast even on the Blade! The pics show what I can only assume to, that the graphics driver is bugged (weird artifacts at transitions), but nothing more. Specifically I can't tell you too much, I took the pictures yesterday. ZTE is binding me not to tell anything, and most probably I will be a bit f*cked for posting these (although the NDA did not disclose sharing pictures what do not tell NEW information. And that the Nexus Prime video footage is out, I can show things what are the same). But eh, I had to do it :D
Guest Chris Banks Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) This is pretty damn amazing if these are legit, but I am very sceptical. A quick build.prop edit? Here is the leaked screenshot of Nexus Prime About phone. Notice the Icon is different. I guess there is nothing to prove that this is real either though. Source Whats your relationship (if any) with google / ZTE if you dont mind me asking? Edited October 7, 2011 by Chris Banks
Guest Sami Beck Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 FAKE, I doubt ZTE even have ICS youve used some form of launcher, but be my guest ROMDump it and prove me wrong.
Guest plegdroid Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 I believe that ice cream sarnie official release date is 11.10.11, so who knows, true/ fake?
Guest t0mm13b Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 I believe that ice cream sarnie official release date is 11.10.11, so who knows, true/ fake? That was put back delayed, on hold out of respect for Steve Jobs, possibly... :)
Guest targetbsp Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 Are we going to have to forgive ZTE's handling of GB afterall? :D

Source Whats your relationship (if any) with google / ZTE if you dont mind me asking? Mine's a bit old build, buildprop says it's from 110829, while the Nexus Prime shots are more likely newer. A lot of things changed (like, in this one, there's no softbutton bar) since that time. I was asked to do not disclose my Google contact, and with ZTE, I have none.

But ICS is android 2.4, not 4.0... isn't it?
Guest targetbsp Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Nope. It's been 4.0 for ages. Since May. :) Edited October 7, 2011 by targetbsp
Guest fonix232 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 Nope. It's been 4.0 for ages. Since May. :) Nope. It wasn't decided OFFICIALLY what it should be, but the last releases show it will be 4.0. Mine was 4.0 too, but there were a few older builds with 2.4 numbering.

You are showing that the Blade would be getting ICS, which is new information.
Guest Manos Aristeidopoulos Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 Ty fonix. so at 11/10 can you make a video for us? to see how it runs on blade?
Guest fonix232 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 'although the NDA did not disclose sharing pictures what do not tell NEW information' You are sharing new information if this is not bollocks (which it is). You are showing that the Blade would be getting ICS, which is new information. It only proves that the Blade is CAPABLE of running it, not that it WILL get ICS. The file wasn't from ZTE, it was directly from Google, and such, this is not really 'official', as manufacturer official. @Manos Aristeidopoulos: FYI, the ICS release has been postponed from 11/10, due to the death of Steve Jobs. The new date is currently unknown, but I really do hope Google does not think in Valve time.
Guest haxxbaxx Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 how come you've been given access to this fonix22?
Guest hugobosslives Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 cheers mate. this has made my day, if its real, it shouldn't take long for a blade port :) if you can answer this please do: is that on your blade? or on a google owned on? and how long have you had this for?
Guest fonix232 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 It is my Blade ;) My good old Blade, swapped in RMA in May :P I had this for approx one day for now, a bit more (got my hand on it yesterday afternoon)
Guest Stuart_f Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 If ZTE did try to release ICS for the Blade they would surely screw it up in an epic way given that they have shown their utter incompetence time and time again.
Guest hugobosslives Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 It is my Blade ;) My good old Blade, swapped in RMA in May :P I had this for approx one day for now, a bit more (got my hand on it yesterday afternoon) cheers for the answers. all i can say is: JEALOUS! without revealing any of the new features of ICS, how big a leap is it in terms of OS improvement? eclair > froyo? :) I assume you spent all of last night looking through the build? :P
