How to install Android ICS Ice Cream Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy S.



Samsung has announced its Galaxy S phone no update to give to Android Ice Cream Sandwich ICS 4. Indicates that one reason is that the ROM would not fit on the memory of the device. This is because Samsung's own bloatware, the TouchWiz skin / shell wants to deliver. TouchWiz course looks nice and is nice and user helemaaal but not necessary. After having some issues "gechopt" including the boot animation (eye candy and eye candy and no old or new) have the code gurus ICS works fine as far as the i9000. It is of course a custom ROM which is still working hard to fix as many bugs but it's the real Android 4.0.3 so we can not leave it in the hope that Samsung spent some time on a slightly older machine which is still used by many people.



Fortunately, there are a lot of enthusiasts who develop .. Thus one has invented the boat animation omit so to create space. Brilliant course and a little strange that Samsung itself has apparently not thought



This is the alpha release canddate 7 for the SGS I9000 (not I9000b)

5. Navigate to "Yes - install ICS_4.0.3_r1-RC1-i9000-reupload.zip"
