Will Android ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) be available on the EVO 4G?


I have become an avid CyanogenMod user since 7.1 resurrected my wife's Hero. Yes, the years-old HTC Hero running Gingerbread via CyanogenMod 7.1, and running great.

But more than resurrecting obsolete phones, the Cyanogen team is currently working on CyanogenMod 9, and that will bring an unofficial port of ICS to phones such as the EVO 4G, which would otherwise be abandoned by Sprint (and other carriers) from the official system update channels.

From what I have gathered, the biggest issue on the EVO 4G is finding a proper camera driver that works with ICS. Cyanogen has submitted a request to HTC to release an updated driver.

So with a little luck, the hard work of the Cyanogen team, and a lot of patience from CM fans such as myself, ICS will be on the EVO 4G in the foreseeable future.

GeekMode blackout

I am not posting anything to my blog today to show my solidarity in opposing SOPA, PIPA, and any legislation that would limit a free internet, free speech, and any other privileges granted to us under the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Of course, this is a blog post itself, after a long stay of not posting anything to this blog, I hope you appreciate the inherent irony.

Please tell your Government officials: don't censor the Internet! http://www.google.com/takeaction/
