[Rom 4.0] Ice Cream Sandwich for Boston (Alpha)

Now you can test the new Android 4.0 (ICS) for Boston and clones.

This is just a first ALPHA release for our phones.

Download: boston_ics4.0_signed.zip

Many thanks to PJ

Note:
For who don't know what is a ALPHA version:
"Alpha - The alpha phase of the release life cycle is the first phase to begin software testing (alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, used as the number 1). In this phase, developers generally test the software using white box techniques. Additional validation is then performed using black box or gray box techniques, by another testing team. Moving to black box testing inside the organization is known as alpha release.[1]
Alpha software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss. The exception to this is when the alpha is available publicly (such as a pre-order bonus), in which developers normally push for stability so that their testers can test properly. External availability of alpha software is uncommon in proprietary software. However, open source software, in particular, often have publicly available alpha versions, often distributed as the raw source code of the software.
The alpha phase usually ends with a feature freeze, indicating that no more features will be added to the software. At this time, the software is said to be a feature complete."

  9. Hmmm ... I'm going to wait for a stable ... for now, I'm happy with that Firetrap 2.2 ROM with the Motorola boot image. Very stable.

    By the way, if you're a Motorola Quench XT5 or XT3 user in India, check this link out for Quench skins/cases for your phone.
