[How To]Install Ice Cream Sandwich On Nexus One

Android mobile operating system; Ice Cream Sandwich, and their hardware partner Samsung has announced the Galaxy Nexus as the first handset to sport it. Although,now it seems there’s another Android Nexus phone packing Ice Cream Sandwich, and it’s not what you are thinking.

 

A YouTube user going by the name of drl337md has published a  video showing what appears to be Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich running on  HTC Nexus One.

Now the Nexus One is nearly two years old, having gone on sale in January 2010 and as such doesn’t pack the same punch as the most recent handsets powering Android’s latest incarnations, let along Ice Cream Sandwich.

The fact that someone has managed to port Ice Cream Sandwich over to a legacy device so quickly has to be a good sign for the close-knit Android community. With so many Nexus S owners hoping Google will bring the latest and greatest build of Android to their own handsets, the fact that a two year old smartphone can at least run it, has to be good news.

Ice Cream Sandwich is Google’s attempt to unify the two sides of Android – the smartphone and the tablet – into one, world beating mobile operating system.

Motorola Razr may move from Gingerbread to Icecream Sandwich

Motorola has revealed that the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Motorola RAZR will be pushed out at the beginning of 2012.

The Motorola RAZR was announced on Tuesday at a New York event for the Verizon network in the US, before the European announcement was made on Wednesday in Berlin.

Having introduced the new Android superphone to assembled European journalists, Alain Mutricy, senior vice president portfolio and product management, candidly referred to Google’s Hong Kong announcement in which Ice Cream Sandwich was launched.

Mutricy highlighted that although the Motorola RAZR had been designed for, and will be launching on, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it has a plan in place to update the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich at the “start of 2012″.

Mutricy highlighted that the move to ICS would incorporate all of the innovation that has gone into the new RAZR handset and a more precise date would be given in the future.

It’s a little vague at the moment, but at least Motorola has made this commitment to update its new “sexy RAZR”.

The Motorola RAZR will be launching in the UK in November 2012, confirmed for the O2 network.

Motorola Droid Razr getting a closer look…

 

It was when the the Samsung Galaxy Nexus seemed set to steal the Android show, Motorola had to go and announce the Droid RAZR. Eventhough the Motorola Droid RAZR doesn’t come with a fresh new install of Ice Sandwich — the soon-to-be-unveiled update to Google’s mobile OS — but with a spec sheet including a 1GHz processor, 4G LTE connectivity, and a battery life of 12 hours (though not removable), there isn’t much to complain about with the new handset. The fact is that it comes only 7.1mm thick? I can’t emphasize how ridiculously thin this thing is. Even though the  bump out housing the camera sensor gets shaved down a few millimeters.

 

But still managed to held 1GB of RAM, a steel core for durability, and amazing Super AMOLED qHD display. The stylings of this device are just plain beautiful. The tapering glass of the display, a subtly textured back made of woven kevlar, and sharp lines make the RAZR a real treat to behold. The handset is everything you would imagine a marriage of the Droid and RAZR brands would create.

 

Talking about performance? That might  feature an Android version one behind the latest, the improvements Motorola has made to their custom user interface actually offer a rather compelling experience. We now get MotoCast, a solution for syncing your videos, images, and music to the cloud and quickly retrieving information stored on a connected PC. The RAZR will be among the first devices to offer HD Netflix video streaming via the devices HDMI output. The interface is is ultra responsive thanks to the ample processor power and RAM, and when you want to go for a more full-fledged computer experience just pop the device into a multitude of Webtop docks and accessories. The software there has been improved, too.
