Not at all. I'm using this build (the one including google talk) from this post. It's a small variant of the beta2 build of ICS by onecosmic with working TTS and fixed DPI, along with a compatible phone firmware for ICS included.

That's in the main thread about this ICS build, which has the vanilla beta2, as well as instructions on how to flash. Note, it does require rooting and installing a custom kernel, and you will need to back up your apps and data (i.e. phone call records, sms etc) using titanium or my backup pro if you want to put them back after flashing ICS. There are also a couple of scripts you need to run to make the external microSD writable, and enable USB mounting after flashing; sorry, don't have them bookmarked, will try and find them later. They're not essential though. You may also need the right kernel from the first post if you have a variant of the i9000, i.e. the i9000b or the like.

The other option, especially if you're not already a veteran rom flasher on the galaxy S, is to go with the cyanogenmod9 version from here; it's caught up with onecosmic's build in terms of what's working, and is a bit easier to get working.

In both cases, you'll need to copy the rom (and maybe the kernel) zip to the internal SD, via USB mount for example, then install a gingerbread custom kernel via odin to give you clockwork mod, that then lets you go in and flash ICS from the internal SD from recovery mode.

If you've not done that before, best to flash this kernel (cf-root) using odin - instructions and links for it are in the post, just follow the guide on flashing via odin/download manager. That roots your phone, along with giving you clockwork mod in recovery while still keeping the rest of your stock rom intact. You don't need to faff about with ext4 or flashing a custom gingerbread rom, as you'll be going straight to ICS. Once you have clockwork mod though (which is included in the ICS builds), you don't need odin again, you can always flash new updates via recovery mode which makes life simpler.

Finally, make sure you're already on gingerbread (2.3) official or custom rom first; going from froyo to gingerbread updated the bootloaders, and I don't think a gingerbread kernel will work on a froyo stock.

For the lazy (link taken from Eckhart's lawyer's response): the CarrierIQ training material, which Eckhard uploaded is still available here. Apparently this "copyrighted" material was freely available on their website, now they've pulled it.

Hell, if he really hacked it, he'd have signed the message with DigiNotar's key.

The most recent message from the guy gives the following link as a proof:

with the following explanation:

"I signed windows calculator using Google Cert, you have to have private key of cert to be able to sign calculator. It's enough reason/proof."

i rather am ok with the sound of AAC-HE opposed to MP3 (and MP3Pro), WMA9Prowhatever, and older OGG. haven't heard OGG in a while, tho.

however, my first test with Opus/CELT blew me away...

i suppose in hindsight i could provide the original lossless clip (cut after the fact) to play with... http://www.multiupload.com/XVRXX256WO

Here's the code you would have find on that page. I saved it earlier, here you go: http://www.multiupload.com/0EUN2QKDMT (Yes, it does include something like a private key. Don't ask me if it's THAT key, I don't know.)

Just in case the page gets slashdotted, here is the pic: http://www.multiupload.com/9DUI40ATQT

Also, it's 9MB, there's a link to the .apk for those of us with metered data plans: com.skype.raider.apk.

If you have a metered data plan to the point that a 9MB download is undesirable, what the hell would you want a chat app for?

In case you're wondering, yes, chat apps consume a lot of data.

• If you're in the US, only WiFi for you (presumably doesn't apply if you have a Verizon device with their bundled version)

• If you're in China or Japan, no Skype for you!

• Android 2.1+ required

• Minimum screen res of 320x480 required
