I finally got all the capacitive keys working. The 'Home' key is finally operational and allows me to checkout this new feature of ICS:
The new multi-tasking screen is really nice. It's dynamic, so it the image preview updates when you move in and out of applications. It's a subtle, but a very nice touch. If you want to remove an application from the list, simply swipe the app from left to right and it'll slide off. If you long-press on the app, an options menu will appear allowing you to enter the app info. From there you can force stop a misbehaving app, uninstall it, move it to the SD card, etc. I believe Septembersrain was curious about this feature and I wasn't able to show it to her without getting the Home key working first. It wasn't difficult to fix, but it was slightly tricky to track down the actual problem.
I'm currently working on getting RIL and WIFI operational. WIFI will require a good amount of work to get it operational. However, RIL, which was a pain in the ass on CM7 should be easier to fix thanks to TG's RIL patch.
EDIT: It would seem the SEMC phones will be getting an official ICS update (Xperia Play, Arc, etc.). Should the SEMC series receive an official ICS update, I'll just kang the newer EGL blobs from that. I believe the Xperia Play is a MSM8x55 device.
You have no idea how awesome this is. (Actually you do, you are getting to be the first to use it.) I can't beileve that only about a month after the source was released you have created a ROM that boots and that is slowly becoming useable.
I have one question, (which I doubt you will have a answer to right now), does the GPS work? (I'm just curious. I'm hoping that this time around you don't have the issues as you and Tickerguy had with CM7.)
Regardless, thank you for keeping us updated and as always, thank you for your time working on this. It is appreciated beyond all belief.

Yo Isaac, should this excite us?

Let's hope new devices released with these processors have updated drivers that also work on the MT!

That is my whole fascination with ICS. Ever since I had learned that this idea was based on WebOS's card view, I've been intrigued with it. From your photo I notice that it's going up and not side to side. I would find this easier and more tailored to fit into the scheme of things on Android. This is excellent.
You are making such wonderful progress. I am grateful you are sharing this progress with all of us. Thanks for this post, It has satisfied my curiosity and keeps me anxiously waiting to see the next big find you'll present us with! =D
P.S How many actual "pages" are available to be open during this multitasking feature? Just curious. ^_^

Well, I'm a little confused... What's happening in the pictures below? Oh, that's right. ICS now has basic RIL support. 
I got the radio partially working (no data, yet) in ICS/CM9. I'm able to make and receive calls and SMS text messages. The CM7 RIL patch isn't directly applicable to ICS, so I'm making some changes to get everything working correctly. However, this is big. My buddy actually called me while I was working on this and I was surprised he could hear me.

hah, VM & Motorola should be making some major donations to Isaac & TG for their work, otherwise the MT would be an even bigger flop. The best thing (& least effort) Android manufacturers can do is release source code at the very minimum.
Motorola or Virgin Mobile, are you reading this?!

I wonder how many people wiped their screen where your photo is... or was it just me?
