The old Samsung Galaxy 5 will never receive an official Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade, so we can’t even think of the possibility of getting the Ice Cream Sandwich.
Fortunately, the folks over at XDA Developers are making wonders. Those who still own one of these old Android smartphones, which was initially delivered with Android 2.1 Éclair on board, will be happy to know that there’s a new unofficial Ice Cream Sandwich ROM available for their devices.
XDA forum user Myshu managed to cook a special CyanogenMod 9 ROM for the Samsung Galaxy 5. This ROM is based on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich and is only available for the European variant.
However, the alpha build is pretty unstable for the moment, so it’s not suitable for daily use. The following things have been listed as working: Hardware acceleration, touchscreen and Wi-Fi.
Telephony, audio, GPS, 3G, Bluetooth, sensor, tethering, USB mounting, Market, keyboard and others are not working. Head over to the original thread for more details on this ROM.
