[Video] Android 4.0 ported onto the Nexus One

There has been much speculation about which devices will see Android 4.0 in the future. We have already heard about plans for various devices to receive an official ICS update, like the Droid Razr,  but what about those who are willing to port via the SDK method?

Some dude going by dr1337md, recently posted a video on YouTube showing a glitchy SDK ICS port to the Nexus One. If you look at the video you will notice that there are definitely some issues, ones that dr1337md claims to be working on. The overall experience looks a bit laggy, audio and video decoding are not working but at least it’s a solid starting point. Maybe with a little bit of tweaking and optimization on Google’s end, the Nexus One, like many other devices, may actually have some ICS goodness in their future. We are stoked at least to see someone trying! You can check out the video for yourself right after the break.
