Database Develop

[Q] development stalled?

It looked like devs were jumping on the Bionic at first, but now it seems there is nobody working on new rom development.
I have tried unleashed and it is nice, but was really looking forward to CM7.
Goto IRC, and the channels for Bionic are DEAD.
Anyone have any news of any new rom dev going on at all for the Bionic?

Go to AndIRC #bionic
And Team Liberty has been working hard on our ROM... Although its still a week or two out... I do release test build on IRC though

Its not always dead in there. But I have to agree its not hopping like the Charge channel.
I think the locked bootloader and lte radios have a big part in things being slow. I'm willing to bet it will pick up soon enough
Edit.. and note my above statement is for freenode #bionic. I've yet to be to AndIrc.... headed there now

Thanks kejar, I was downloading your latest 39 build and you must have cancelled the page when my download was about finished, because it said complete on my end. I formatted everything on my Bionic and tried to install the 39 zip for it to only tell me it was a bad zip.
No biggie, I made a nandroid

I'd say the biggest problem is this: devs don't get paid for this and the bionic is $600 off contract. Alot of them have families and jobs/careers outside this - actually I would say most do.
My best advice? If you like a dev and want to see him give the bionic love, reach out to him. Start a donate thread.
For the time being, Unl3ash3d is doing me good. Looking forward to Liberty and CM7.

^^^That right there hits it on the spot... This is a free service and most people don't contribute to the devs so it takes more time for things to come around... But sometimes this is the best way because it produces the best results

I agree, I have donated to most of the devs. I had thought everyone donated to one of the cm7 devs.
I don't ask for anything for free, that's not my point.......
My point is, dev has stalled on Bionic.

I've had 8 android devices in a combination of phones and tablets. What they've all had in common is threads like this. It's still very early in the game. Development will pick up.

Ics sdk port

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

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.

Apparently some people don't know what a sdk is for.....Software Developer Kit is not a rom.

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.

holy shizzzz

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

CM9 come on out!

Because AOKP ICS is so much further than cm9 would it be possible to port that instead?

LOL, yep 4. D3, Bionic, RAZR, and now D4.
and the fact that hes gotten AOKP on the D3 while working on CM9 is amazing.

And I think he's still maintaining his CM7 build as well, plus two different recoveries for all the devices you listed. His commitment to the cause is amazing!

Agreed! I'm sure CM7 would have had been fully functional by now if Hash or another Dev had decided to finish it. Here's another scary thought, I read that Google is supposed to be releasing Jelly Bean (Android 5.0) in the second quarter of this year. If this is true, there would be a new OS before even a hand full of devices are even running ICS.

Yep, it would be finished, and we all would be begging for him to start to work on a ICS build.
CM7 is nice, but CM9 is nicer
Also, I'm starting to think Hash is Legion, for he is many (jk)
Keep the good work man!

If that were to really happen I have a feeling there would be a lot of unhappy Galaxy Nexus owners...

^^I agree. There was so much hype surrounding the 4.0 OS that it seems both doubtful and (if true) disappointing that Google would be too shortsighted/trigger-happy, to actually let the OS mature a bit first, before pumping out another release. I've owned Android devices for better or worse, since the OG Droid, and I have to say that the evolution of the platform has been staggering...but I'm at a loss as to how the OS could really get SIGNIFICANTLY better than this. It's just my opinion, but I think 4.x is close to perfect...in the past, I could see clearly, how Eclair, Froyo, or GB could be improved, but ICS really has it all. I just think it would be terribly irresponsible of both Google and manufacturers, to support the release of a new OS this soon...

From what I read, the biggest new features are supposed to be Android's own version of NFC and compatibility with netbooks, laptops, desktops..... I agree it is too early for another release, but perhaps the extra features that are supposed to be included are too significant to just be an update to say 4.05.

Where are all the "New" ROM's?

I have been looking and am unable to find any new ROM's past March 10th. Has development stopped for the bionic? No disrespect meant to the developers, but I was just wondering. Are we waiting for an ICS system dump for the kernel or an I just not looking well enough. Again, thanks for all you do. I guess I am just used to Kaos when I was on the Eris. Sometimes we had 3-5 updates in a day. Just wondering. At this time I am using gummy 1.0.2 and loving it. Just wanting to be able to flash more. Force of habit.

Bionic development has slowed down quite a lot lately. The place I see with the most action and releases is Rootz. Best to peek there.
