I can confirm that we'll atleast get gingerbread. Att said all 2011 devices will get it. They did not however say when...
On the plus side Google said that ice cream sandwich will be rolled out to omap4 devices first. BUT that does not mean LG will push an ICS update to the current Optimus line. And on top of that its doubtful att will ever push an ICS update to the Thrill. Another BUT...as long as LG updates the kernel source to a version compatible with ICS it can be ported. We've got a GB capable kernel already and I've been working on a port but its a long tedious process and I'm not even to the point where I can start compiling with any confidence that it will work. If and when I can get it compiled to where it will boot ill upload it to my git so others can help with getting everything working.

guys wat about Ice cream sandwich on our mini??
i read that it will possibly run on every phone running gingerbread so it might be possible that we get a custom or official ice cream sandwich port or maybe ice cream sandwich cyanogen mod.
If ICS supports QVGA, I think it is quite possible to wait for an official release from Samsung. If not, only hope is to wait for the new CyanogenMod.
Samsung are damm slow in releasing updates.
Asian version of mini still hasn't got official GB updates yet.

well as i know our mini can carry weight of ice cream sandwich im quite sure coz 4.0 version is improved and won't use much amount of RAM as 2.2 or 2.3. whenever i found something i'll share it here. take care

yay true... So, if this is the speed we won't get ICS for at least next two years... THere are many other important phones (S2, S) to get the update first
Here are some snapshots of Ice Cream Sandwich if you want to see/know how it looks... Believe me it looks awesome and very beautiful.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH PORTING TUTORIAL
Please can someone try this out so that we can make a ics rom for our mini
Tutorial by Siulmagic
i think its possible some one its already working on it
I just got myself a Verizon Galaxy Tab (from Woot), and I was searching around for ROMs for it. It came installed with Froyo (and tons of Verizon crapware).
I found a Honeycomb ROM, but the links are all dead. I spoke with oldmacnut, and was told that spacemoose1 isn't working on these anymore, and that he (oldmacnut) doesn't want to post ROMs to XDA after some drama or something.
I also found an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM, but it seems too alpha for me to want to use.
I then looked for Cyanogenmod 7 (Gingerbread) ROMs, but they all seem to be for GSM only (I have CDMA).
So, can someone fill me in on Galaxy Tab ROM development. Will there be a CM7 ROM for CDMA tabs? Is anyone working on Honeycomb?
Currently, I have Galaxy Cubed 3 installed, and I am patiently waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich to be complete.
Edit: I just found a CM7 ROM for CDMA, I'm gonna try that.
Hello all-
This is my first post here, so go easy on me
Well, I am Samsung captivate user on AT&T. I am currently running 2.2 rooted. My question: Should I upgrade to AT&T's gingerbread and try to root in there, or should I just pull the trigger and go to Cyanogenmod?
It seems rooting in 2.3 is not the simple SuperOneClick that it was for 2.2, and rooting with odin actually seems MORE complicated that flashing CM7 (And I guess more risky with multiple kernel flashes, yada yada yada). I am just thinking the less steps, the safer it probably is.
I am also liking all of the features of Cyanogenmod, epically the gesture app launching from the unlock screen.
In this How-to, the guy says to download the latest nightly build. Will it work the same if I choose the 7.1 stable release (I'm going for having whatever option I choose to be my daily use (I'm not gonna be flashing ROMs every month or week)):
I'd like to post it as a link, but xda is hating me and thinks I want to spam them D) so it is youtube at watch?v=iBPu-GqM9RE
What do you guys think?
PS I'm pretty sure you can, but using Titanium backup you can just "restore" all your apps just like that, correct?
If you are still on 2.2 you are way behind the curve.
There are some things you need to know. CM7 is a great ROM but is going to be replaced eventually by CM9 as everything is progressing towards Ice Cream Sandwich based ROMs. Gingerbread is an easy upgrade done through kies even with your rooted phone. It will flash the gingerbread bootloaders that are necessary to flash all gingerbread and some Ice Cream Sandwich based ROMs. Also, if you do choose to go to gingerbread, the kernel flashing process to root is very safe and very straight forward.
Lastly, I highly suggest getting away from a stock rom and flashing a custom ROM. It will make your phone feel like a new device compared to a stock ROM of any build. And yes, you can restore with Titanium Backup but remember to only restore the apps not the data.
Ive seen multiple guides for the stock gingerbread on captivate rooting.
Could you please point me towards the right one? I wanna make sure I dont try something outdated, wrong, ect.
Also, even if I choose to go to CM9 in the near future, should I still upgrade to the stock gingerbread right now and root? Will staying on 2.2 rooted make the CM9 flash easier ( I don't have clockworkmod recovery yet, if that matters ) or will having the 2.3 stock on it make the entire process easier?
Thanks!
From 2.2 Stock you can flash directly to CM9 without changing your boot loader to Gingerbread. That will put you straight to ICS 4.0.3. However your first step is to install CWM. But yes definitely get away from stock!

So there is no advantage to going to stock 2.3 in terms of flashing CM9 (start to finish)?
Here is the thread on how to root gingerbread.

Cm9 as well as most all ice cream sandwich roms are still in beta phases so keep that in mind. If you absolutely have to have 100 percent reliability then a beta ROM is not for you.

+1 to everything they said in posts above.
The only thing I would add is that while the CM9 build is beta (alpha actually) it is VERY stable. Many folks, myself included, use it a our daily driver with no real issues.
In any event, by all means, get off of stock and onto CM. You'll love it.

Heres another thought, what is the chance that I will brick my phone, honestly, so bad it really stays just a brick?
I am just scared, as I have another 10 months till I could even consider a phone upgrade and I like the fancy android phone I have now!
If you follow the instructions then chances are pretty low. Just make sure to read and read again. Ask before you go too far. The safest way I say is to use kies to upgrade to gingerbread because that flashes the bootloaders for you. Then you can go anywhere you want from there. That is if you want to go the gingerbread route.

You will only get a true brick if you fail during a bootloader flash. Most other "bricks" aren't really bricks at all, and can be easily recovered if you can get into download or recovery, which is usually the case.
Hello all !!
I am a noob to this site, as well as how to root a phone period. I have a Motorola Droid 4 and I have read reviews that say that Jellybean is alot faster/better than Ice Cream Sandwich. I talked to another friend that told me to download SDK Tools, and download all the pack to my computer. my question is this-WHAT THE **** GOOD DOES IT DO MY PHONE TO DOWNLOAD ALL THESE PACKS TO MY COMPUTER IF THERE IS NO INTERFACE OR WAY TO PUT THEM ON MY PHONE ??!! I would really like to know how to put Jellybean on my phone, anyone that can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks !!
Jelly bean isn't officially available on the Droid4 yet (by Motorola). You will probably find a thread on here once it is though.
If you want to put a custom ROM on check out CM10, but there are some known bugs using it now. Check in the android development forum for further details on CM10

Just curious.......
danifunker,
I was told that even though it isnt officially out on The Droid 4, that you can still put it on the phone anyways. My friend who is into these things just put it on his Galaxy Tab and he told me that you can do it-I would just have him help me, but I am all the way across the United States from him and I dont go back to California for a while. He tried to tell me to download SDK Tools. Can you please explain to me the function of the SDK Tools ??!! I can download all of these packs, and even the Jelly Bean 4.1 Version, but then how do I get it onto my phone ??!! Or how does that work ??!! Anything you can help me out with with knowledge would be great. Thanks !!

To everyone reading this:
I just wanted to apologize to everyone for swearing on my post-Im just getting really frustrated when I keep doing searches and cannot get any results, especially when all of the Youtube Videos of performing this function show you how to do it, then tell you the links for the software that you need are in the description and they arent. Thanks, and again, sorry everybody !!

First off, welcome to the forums!
Now, there is a piece of software called CyanogenMod10 right now, but as previously stated by danifunker, there are bugs. Since the Droid 4 was just recently updated by motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), it will be quite a while for the official Jelly Bean update to get here (we are at the will of the carriers). If you go to the CM10 thread, you can find instructions on how to put it on your phone. If you don't want to deal with all the bugs it has right now, I strongly suggest to check out myfishbear's Eclipse rom, based on Ice Cream Sandwich. It is my daily driver on my Droid 4 right now, and it has some added goodies.
Just so we're all clear, you cannot use the SDK to flash Jellybean to your D4. Trying to do so (whatever instructions you might think you are following) will result in your phone becoming an expensive paperweight. Yes, you can download all the Android software, but none of that includes the code necessary for Android and the phone to communicate (the drivers).
There are ROMs you can download from the development section (myfishbear has a great port of eclipse), but the only Jellybean build I am aware of are hash codes or based off of his builds, and those are not ready for daily driver use just yet (though it is coming along awesome).
OP, you should read as much as you can from the development section. A good afternoon or two perusing those threads should give you a better understanding of what you can do. Don't rush in and follow instructions you don't fully understand, trust me that is an expensive way to spend an evening
