Ferra on 22" is like Admire on CM9. It's been raining so it's not a great pic. I'll get a better one later.

There's phone's that are worse than ours with Alpha CM9's/ ICS Hardware Acceleration for Armv6 source code.

you do realize what alphas are right? Full of bugs, majority of key features not working, etc, etc, etc.
And just cause it can be done doesnt mean it really should be. The Dev(s) that puts the time into getting CM9 or any ICS variant on a arm6 device should be duely compensated. But with how ppl want to whine and make demands on just modded stock, you all wouldnt be happy with CM9 on a arm6 device, it will not run like it should and doesnt on any arm6 device that may have alphas or even betas. I'm willing to bet the arm6 devices that have CM9 in a usable daily state are using alot of GB stuff to do so, so they arent even full ICS.
Just food for thought

Exactly what playfulgod said! I've been following his work since the huawei ascend. Some of these mid-grade to low end phones shouldnt be running certain os's. I didnt agree with cm7 on the huawei. Certain things just shouldnt be done. I'll post an example pic soon

Samsung galaxy prevail ics rom - YouTube
Amazing on how on this ics alpha on prevail works fine and smooth, like a galax nexus.
the admire and prevail are very similar as stated before, But Prevail has like 383 memory and we have 283 memory right? I think with oc it'll work fine ( on our phone)

The big problem is getting all of ics to fit in /system. I did get it to halfboot, but it still needs work. Patience.

Great. Getting it from you too. MTD is probably the last thing I'm going to work on.

Mtd will help you fit everything in system
I know, you can specify custom partition sizes, etc. Just not on my priority list right now.

Although mtd is not on the top of the list for you it might how every stop a, head ache of fitting something huge into a small hole. You can't **** a virgin with a school bus.
CM9 isn't the top of my list.
Just thought I'd bring it up, I'm currently running cm9 on the LGE Optimus T (you know the p-509 Optimus 1) Which has wayyyyy lwer specs than the admire, and also the intercept, which overall is comparable to the admire. Both run smoothly with full features. I don't see it being impossible by any means considering ICS's hardware requirements are lower than that of the admires. Oh and the admire has 283 available ram, but it has 512 MB overall.
