Galaxy S I9000 Receives ICS Pre-Alpha Bliss
All good things must come to an end, and that is life. However, we at
XDA-Developers do our absolute best that our expensive devices do not
fall under this category. We continuously strive to prolong and extend
the shelf life of phones by adding features, apps, themes, and most
importantly, by reverse engineering the daylights out of them so that
they can run newer OSes unsupported by the manufacturers. Having said
this, if you have an original Galaxy S (i9000), then today is your lucky
day because XDA Forum Member dhiru1602 has successfully ported ICS onto this forgotten beast.
The port itself was taken directly from another port meant for the Nexus S 4G and it is currently in pre-alpha state, which means that you will likely not be rocking most features right off the bat. In fact, it probably means that at this point it is a pretty device to play with but not to use on a daily basis. Essentially, the device has no data capabilities at this point, which is likely the biggest thing, as well as no camera, or video playback. Having said that, for a pre-alpha state, this does have several things working which you would normally not see on similar level releases such as being able to make calls and send SMS, HW acceleration, BT, and a few other pluses.If you do decide to go with this, please ensure that you understand that this is a work in progress and any and all feedback should be communicated to the dev so as to make this into a more functional port.

This is a full ROM Port based on Official Samsung Galaxy S II ICS ROM – XXLPH. It is based on swamp goblin’s port for Nexus S 4G! Thanks to him!You can find more information in the original thread.
