Android 4.0.1 for Ice Cream Sandwich source code available for download.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.
Pending a final go-ahead from the Android Open Source Project, you'll be able to sync the now available Ice Cream Sandwich source code. Due to the "large push" (presumably because of all the changes), the roll out is going to take some time to complete -- project members will give the final word when things are good to go. If you try to sync prematurely, be forewarned that you'll get an incomplete copy that will be useless.


If the links below don´t work to get the instructions, this one will: Android

From the Android Building Blog:

Hi! We just released a bit of code we thought this group might be interested in. 



Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers, the source code for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available. 




Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at 
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u 








That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll  get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait  for us to give the all-clear before you sync. 




This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first  Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come  later. 




Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them  back soon. 




This release includes the full history of the Android source code  tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb  releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want  everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any  tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the changes are present in the history.)
