All I want for Christmas is an Ice Cream...?

Well theres 30 more sleeps until Christmas, but the one thing I'm looking forward to is... ANDROID 4.0 (AKA Ice Cream Sandwich) on my new ZTE Skate. biggrin.gif

I know a couple of people have asked about this and members 't0mm13b' & 'D3abL3' say its being worked on but my question is by who? sad.gif

Every day we see that someone has ported Android 4 over to older devices than the Nexus, even the G1 this week got some Ice Cream. So I was wondering is anyone actually working on this at the moment? The source code has been out for 2 weeks, since then the ZTE Skate OMC has now become unlockable so I would expect the next challenge is to get the latest Android on it. Once the ZTE Skate has ICS it will provide a similar experience to the Galaxy Nexus. Of course it hasn't got as fast a processor, sharp an image or NFC like the Samsung but its about a 1/5th of the price and so this is gonna sell like hot cakes in my opinion.

I wish I had the skills to help but I think this post would be great for people to keep up to date on the port. The first question is....who is working on it???

Update: Here is an quick image example of what Ice Cream Sandwich would look like on the Skate (yummy):

Cool, you got CM7's ICS theme mod from Market!

But I prefer my lockscreen :P

P.S.: On your notifications what text color do you have? black text on black background? I had to manualy fix that...

I had white text on black background so didn't have to change anything , also using golauncher which has its own ICS themes and you can then install the ICS search bar that I have which I think is cool

If you have the cm7 ics theme,it has the ics google search with it.

Thats how I am getting my fix at the moment,along with go launcher and ics theme.

Hopefully soon we wont need to replicate ics :D
