Developers don’t want to keep the gold for themselves and want to share the true capabilities of Android phones to the masses. We have XDA Developer m.sabra to thank for a one-click rooting method that easily …

by Carl Parker on Mar 27, 2012 0 Comments">0
Samsung Nexus S users may just get a chance to try Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC Sense 4.0 on their displays, thanks to XDA Developers senior member swamp goblin. This ROM was ported from the latest HTC Endeavour RUU leak and was rebased from the Sensation port.

The ROM is still in its pre-alpha stage of development, as most parts of this ROM are not yet functional. Though …
