Next VegaICS will be Android 4.0.4 -- or Will it be VegaICE

VegaICS 4.0.4 by Cass
Ok, finally some explanation from VegaICS dev, Cass. On his latest post, at tabletroms, he mention that VegaICS now boot using Android 4.0.4.
That's ICS latest pull from AOSP.
Cass, on his tweet also said, currently he doesn't have time for "VegaICE" ... I can not tell if this is a typo or he just leak the name for the next VegaICS release.
Now, we know why it take so long to get the next release. But, I think there will be new release "in the near future". We can also tell from the kernel thread, that now VegaICS have a number of name working on it, say ejtagle, areo, scanno, daedric1383, brucelee666. More head, better result. They are very talented people, have experience working on large project. I think, it will required just a bit of their brain effort to make this community ROM a perfect one. We wait :)

Dark Knight ROM -- Android IceCream Sandwich 4.0.4 for Samsung Galaxy S I1900

Nasif619 at xda offer android 4.0.4 for your galaxy s I1900. This ROM is fast and stable. The dev said that this ROM is a fully ported from galaxy Nexus, with modification and improvement. The dev is taking a donation. If you are galaxy S user, you can go there if you like and donate. This way, the dev will be able to correct more, fix more for this great ROM.
There is, of course, some issue on this ROM, some wifi and booting problem, but the forum will give you enough information on how to workaround these problem, and the developer itself has stated in his first post of the thread, he will fix everything, so eventually everything will be fixed. This is a big promise a think, but also a good commit.
You can always hope from someone who committed to what he was doing. The new android 4.0.4 IceCream offer more slick and beautiful improvement than the earlier update. But, take a note of waning, this is a single person shoot, not a group effort. Although there is a chance that this ROM will be a great lesser bug ROM, it will be along time it will take. If you don't like to risk your phone's data and application. Do not try this. If you know what you want and know how to do it safe, the this ROM is for you.
Here is the link to the Original thread on XDA forum
