Ics sdk port - Motorola Droid 3

I'm seeing a lot of devices getting ics sdk ports or atleast starting to(in pre alpha stage) I was wondering if anyone wanted to attempt that on our d3s because it doesn't look like we're getting cm9 soon because were not even officially supported for cm7.

i said officially

An ICS SDK port is would not be worth it. ICS will only come when the source drops.

Why wouldn't it be worth it

Wondering this too.. Nexus one users seem to be happy with their port

Just be patient, or port it yourself.

The Nexus will be out before the month's end, and the source code will drop in the following 2-4 weeks. If someone built it from SDK, they'd have to start it all over again after the source drops.

ya but that means source wont drop till xmas and then by the time someone has a working build moto will be releasing there official build so it doesnt really do anything for us

If Motorola ever actually pushes out an ICS update for us, it'll be at the very earliest the end of next spring. They have newer and "better" phones that they'll update first.

It might be a fun exercise, and fun to play around with, but sdk ports are buggy and wont have the framework that really makes up ICS. It would basically GB + some ICS features/apps, since all we have access to is some apps and what they ask for

I hope no one is wasting time working on a port from a Software Development Kit (SDK) emulator "ROM" that is incomplete and lacking. SDK's are for app developers to test, not for ROMs to be be made.
Once the source hits....you'll have a better chance of getting ICS, AND a much better and complete ROM.
I really hope no one is working on an SDK port "ROM" for the D3.

This.
The current devs we have are still working on the roms they first put out. We will not get an SDK port. We'll start to see ICS when the source is released.

Just to be clear, I'm not working on an ICS port from the SDK. Sorry :/
While I applaud jellydroid13's enthusiasm, there is still alot of work to be done getting the D3 to be more AOSP friendly. This includes working on getting the audio drivers working correctly, BT updated, overlays which don't have PBUNDERUN events every 30 seconds, camera routines to iron out, etc.
Fixing these issues in Gingerbread where our kernel matches up with the source, gives us a better chance at then migrating working source to a true ICS port later.
There is also a fairly sizable kernel hurdle to jump as well.
Just my 2-cents.

It's actually completely possible. The DInc got a full GB SDK port. The Nexus S has a ICS SDK port. The G2 (I believe by siulmagic) has an SDK port. It's just all those phones are unlocked completely. The 2nd-init used on Moto phones would be too hard and not worth the time for an only partly working port. With how close CM is, just wait for CM9 (CM8 would've been Honeycomb for all those about to ask "but i didn't c no cm 8 !?"). It will come. With time.
And is anybody working on a port for Jellybean or Key Lime Pie yet? How soon can we expect them?

Motorola just announced an ICS upgrade for the bionic via facebook (not sure if they intended to, theres a thread on rootzwiki about it. Some guy asked if it was going to get ICS, moto said yes, but they wouldn't disclose a time frame to expect it until Google had the final ICS build ready.
In other words, we should continue to see numerous testing builds on the servers, for months to come.

A lot of us would hope to have a developer based option up and running by the time that might be released. The current estimated dates would be no earlier than the RAZR gets ICS, so we're still months away from any official release.

I think we'll definitely see dev releases first. VZW can't be excited about ICS allowing removal of any apps even without root. That's going to cause some internal delays.

Why do people assume the Razr will get ICS before the Bionic does? Just because they said the Razr will get it doesn't mean it will get it before the Bionic. I'd say its safe to say that any device being released with gingerbread will be updated to ICS. My guess would be to look for it in late winter/early spring.

I guess they got tired of waiting for Verizon to get off their ass and release it. Ball's in your court now, big red!
Um... where do you think big red gets their sources from? lol... Nobody has the source until google releases it.
I think he meant releasing the nexus. Not source. Their taking forever to release nexus so Google released source.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Google hasn't even released the Nexus yet, so of course Verizon won't have yet. They usually release the source right around the same time the corresponding Nexus device hits, so if this is any indication, the GN is right around the corner

I'll post what I posted in the other thread since this may get more traffic
could some devs explain to me what type under the hood improvements ics offers over gingerbread. specifically concerning battery life, will ics roms for the vibrant have better battery life than gb roms?
CAN'T ****ING WAIT UNTIL CM9!!! I'M GETTING MOIST JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
Awesome news! Looking forward to seeing how ICS's benefits work out on the Vibrant, especially hardware acceleration (finally).

Starting with IceCreamSandwich, the Android Open-Source Project can't be used from pure source code only, and requires additional hardware-related proprietary libraries to run, specifically for hardware graphics acceleration.
Official binaries for Nexus S, Nexus S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, and PandaBoard can be downloaded from Google's Nexus driver page, which add access to additional hardware capabilities with non-Open-Source code.
There are no official binaries for Nexus One, ADP2 or ADP1.

Hold on to your horsies people, it's gonna be a long time before we see ICS on our Vibrants if at all we do. Porting ICS is much more difficult than GB I believe. And we all know how difficult GB was.

Similar in the sense that many months out with non-official 2.3 we still have buggy and feature incomplete gingerbread derivatives?
The only real upside, given that the phone stopped being supported by Samsung and T-Mobile ages ago, is that the uphill struggle with ICS will probably be no worse than it was with GB.
dont forget our non FFC phones, are gonna make face unlock obsolete... and ones with FFC probably too low resolution and speed...
But doesn't the fact that cyanogenmod officially supports the vibrant mean that when cm9 hits, that all non-nexus devices aren't too far behind? Isn't that the point of "officially" supporting a device?

moto also released the D3's source to sourceforge today. wouldn't that include the audio bits?
I am of course looking at the source for ICS as we speak..
Possibly even testing how the source compiles.
But, I don't want to send the wrong message. I don't think ICS will be usable in any real way for the D3 till I either get source built up for the omap audio stuff (or a new kernel)
I'm just toying around with it, and getting use to the new layers.
@sarreq: I don't see any new source on Sourceforge for the moment:

I've been following Hascode's CM7 since I got my D3. He's been great and the support and discussion on it is great. Haven't read too much on the release of CM9 but seems like ICS is the main feature it needs before its release. I'm excited to try more ROMS on the D3, great phone!

Yes, alpha, buggy, useless roms.
Look, it will take us a while to get it running but we will have it. Just relax.
I'd like to repeat: I'm not ignoring ICS
I'm actively working on it in my spare time between: D3 CM7 updates, Safestrap updates, and helping with the CM7 for Bionic.
Add to that: I'm also watching CM9 develop and doing testing there as well (I have 3 repo's going at the moment).
AndroidSims has is correct tho: It will be a toy to play with for the moment, even if I get it booting to the OS. No audio, no phone.
IMHO, CM9 w/ our current kernel will get us a lot further due to the compatibility issues. But, obviously CM9 will take a while.
