You want to install Android ICE Cream AOSP to HTC Rezound? This post is covering that. Albeit there are number of ICS ROMs available for HTC Rezound, but none of them with AOSP and most of the available ROMS are HTC Sense framework based ROM. We need faster than those ROMs.

Fortunately we have diligent people who think about it, and has brought to us Android ICE Cream ASOP ROM that can be ported to HTC Rezound. The work is based on the ICS HTC Evo 3D. And it is still in beta though, you can likely expect some issues. However the developer is currently updating which makes this Rom even better.
