We didn’t have to wait very long for the first Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) port to be available. This time this ICS port is for the Samsung Nexus S and can be flashed as a custom ROM. This is very impressive and everything works fine with just a few bugs, amazing work by HAKA @ XDA. Hopefully this is just the start and we will see Ice Cream Sandwich ports appearing for most of the Android devices out there. Find out more after the break.
