How to Get Ice Cream Sandwich on Nexus S Now

How to: http://bit.ly/vhGz7e - Google will be releasing an official update for Android 4.0 ICS for the Nexus S in the near future. In the mean time, you can try out a fully-functional beta of the software on your phone to see experiment on your own. As long as your device is rooted, installation is as easy as installing any custom ROM.

@alijahgreen Yes...because Apple has never stolen anything from other companies.

Btw How do you like that new notification system on iOS5?

I LOLed so hard when they said in the IOS5 promo that they "took an OS that was already years ahead and they made it even better" and their first selling point was their "new" notification center.

@hu0189743 That's what I'm saying. Your features were added by Samsung. Pressing home and power button on my Google Nexus S doesn't do screenshots, nor does it do drag and drop.

@nicojr2005 Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket 2.3.5 drap drop, copy paste cloud printing wifi printing stock. screen shot power and home at the same time. folders. yeah your phone sucks in the software department.

[nicojr2005]

@Gaaryx yeah. and now ICS can drag and drop apps to other apps to create folders and have a proper screenshot function. What an improvement when those were already existing in iOS before. I have a Nexus S vanilla Android (2.3.6) and obviously can't do those things. I understand that other OS with bloatware can do it but the base Android OS from Google that I have can't.

[nicojr2005]

@hu0189743 I have Android 2.3.6 on a Google Nexus S which contains vanilla Android. You might be using an OS that was either done by a different device manufacturer. My vanilla OS doesn't have drag and drop nor a proper screenshot functionality. I haven't even received the push for updating to ICS when it's been out for months already.

[hu0189743]

@nicojr2005 Screen shot and drag and drop were available already.Before 4.0

[IRubikon]

@kluski347 No

[kluski347]

will i lose all my data on my phone?

[nicojr2005]

@Gaaryx yeah, but ICS is just getting drag and drop folders now and screenshot which has been available on iOS before, and the browser still sucks. And no, I'm not an Apple troll because I own a Nexus S. Just saying.
