while I found the opportunity that many commenting and interested in this topic, let me ask a question. Can one upgrade any android phone by himself? (I do not own one), or one need to wait for the carrier and or manufacturer need to do it?



If your phone is rooted, or rootable, there's a bunch of devs over @ XDA-developers forum that create custom ROMs for most Android phones.

The most famous of these is CyanogenMod, which works across most Android phones out.

Once they port it to your phone you can flash the ROM and run ICS on your phone!


Thanks for the reply. Using the keywords like "custom ROM", "rooting" you mentioned in your reply I am also able to google for more.
