RAZR ICS stuff? - Motorola Droid 4

Now that the ICS build for RAZR has been leaked, has anyone taken a look to see if there's anything in there that would be useful for ICS on our phones?
Also, it seems the new build also includes updated radio firmware. Has anyone checked to see if GSM support is present in the new radio?

Dhacker & Hashcode are already looking at it.
According to Hashcode, Dhacker was all over it this weekend, but it's still going to take a bit of time to get it all implemented.
So we should see some stuff coming up, but it is going to be a bit before it trickles down.
Mostly, they're looking at the radio's right now. The other thing that's also being heavily looked at is the HWcodecs for the video.

awesome... i figured they would be on top of it, but its great to have confirmation... also just a straight port of it would be awesome!

it would be great if they are able to port over the radio for 3G/4G since the 3 ICS roms we have so far have issues with data

Yeah, a straight port would pretty much be perfect... What I dont get is why Moto cant release the D4 update along with the RAZR...

Have the devs just abandoned this phone?

I haven't seen any ROM updates or development news in some time. I was planning on getting the Nexus anyways, but I at least wanted the phone to have life after I passed it on.

We have liberty, that's enough for me. Liberty was all I ran (I tried others but always went back) on my Droid X, with my thunderbolt I only ran BAMF roms. I would like to see more customizable options like power control widget in the notification pull down.
Unfoetinitaly I agree. Having had the evo 4G and the thunderbolt, Dev for this phone seems dead.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I disagree. Liberty was released just a few weeks ago, the the30ry dev has released two new ROMS, one of which was just updated yesterday, and eclipse will have a 5.7.893 update here soon. In addition, there are devs working to get ICS working on the bionic, and a CM7 project (although I don't know if that's in the works any longer as they have announced CM9 for January). I will say that few of these devs seem to be active on XDA any more, they're all on droidforums and rootzwiki. But they're out there.
It sounds more like the OP is abandoning the Bionic, not the devs.

I think this is just part of the "downtime" between releases. We have an OTA on the way that may or may not have additional compared to whats leaked so a lot of devs IMO are waiting for that OTA to come out and then will update their Roms accordingly.
In addition a lot of 3rd party Roms use CM as a base so until CM is finished being ported to the Bionic, this front will probably remain dead. Once we see CM7 done and CM9 starting, i think you'll start to see a bunch of new roms pop up.

I feel the same way about the Photon, but we are making progress too.
Have you guys been able to unlock your bootloaders without loosing LTE? If so, you are at an advantage, but how many of you have developers with this phone?
There is a locked bootloader. The excellent devs have done most of what can be done without that being unlocked. They are not lazy, they just did so well that there is nothing to change until the bootloader is unlocked or motor/Verizon push ics.

I understand, I am going through the same thing with my Photon, on Sprint, the Now Network.
The devs definitely haven't given up, the Th3ory T3am is working on getting CM9 to boot and a couple of devs over at DF are going through the source code to see if they can unlock the bootloader right now.

A locked BL isn't as big of a hindrance as people think ... really all it stops you from doing is running a custom kernel. You can still make custom roms and over/underclock. Sure it's not ideal bc you have to deal with 2nd init to run CM but otherwise there is still a lot of flexibility. Liberty, Th3ory and eclipse are perfect testaments to that.
it isn't as long as Motorola continues to create roms with kernals for the newest version of android and only as long as it is rootable. The min one of those two things stop happaning we will need kernel access to continue on

That's a good point. I would hope that at that point they would at least have the decency to unlock our BL... but who.knows. I'm holding out hope for project cheesecake ... yum I can smell the creamy goodness...

The Razr came out, all hyped up, and now half of what you see on the forums is talking about how it's not that much different than the Bionic, and it clearly becomes a subjective issue, mainly based on form factor and pentile rgbw/lcd (bionic) vs pentile rgbg/samoled (razr).
The Gnex will likely be similar once it comes out and people realize that its not that much better either. It has pure ICS, but I bet we'll be seeing some of that by the time the Gnex is released anyway - at least some roms based on that source anyway.
Droid 4 is literally a Razr with a kb.
Rezound is great as well, but nothing tremendously better than these others.
My point is this... All of these new phones have something positive and something negative about them. I don't see any good reason why developers would stop supporting the bionic, as it is technically in the same league as all of these other phones. I don't think I'm being too much of an idealist ... at least that's my hope

Bionic ROMS?

Whats the newest, most bug free ROM out there for Bionic, thats still getting updates?
I've had the Bionic for a couple of weeks and already got disapointed.
back when i rocked the DX2 i was die-hard Eclipse.
well on bionic i notaced many bugs, and i re-flashed, redownloaded, the works. had the same issues.
anyway. nitro sold his bionic, so no more Eclipse. so i swung to the other side to try Liberty. its cool. no where neer as boss as Eclipse. but they both have pros and cons. anyway.
come to find out Liberty devs stopped for the bionic too. so, my question is, what is the newest, bestest rom, thats still getting updates, and lots of themes? preferably a boss ICS theme D
Active Bionic Roms
There are several alpha and beta Roms out for the Bionic however most of them still have bugs ranging from no 3G/4G to the front facing camera not working. From what I can tell the only stable Rom for the Bionic is gummy. This may be due to the Bionic having a locked boot loader. Hopefully either Nitro will get a used Bionic and continue development or development will increase when or if ICS is officially released on the Bionic.
i hope he does too. i really enjoyed Eclipse. besides the fact thant when i held down the power button to get the reboot options it would just straight up reboot. (very annowing when wanting recovery)
i think the AOKP ICS rom thats out looks mighty spiffy, but i dont know what all doesnt work, and i dont want to risk having to go back to my old old devour. (sold the DX2)
anyway. thanks for your input!
here is me and @insanemods rom mainly his but working on fixing all the bugs stuck at f.c.'s at the moment but mostly works themes galore lockscreen changes and such... here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535293
I'm in the same boat as you, trying to find a stable ROM rather than go back to de-bloated Blur. The only other recommendation I can give besides those already mentioned is dhacker's April 5th nightly of CM9.
I obviously haven't been using it for long, but it has so far has a pretty consistent data connection.

I've been running CM9 Unofficial since it dropped. Currently I am on 04-04 and have had stable data and WiFi since I flashed it. HW accel and video are the only things really missing for me. Give it a shot.

I do prefer the AOKP ICS rom port over the CM9 just for the little details, but they're rather similar.
Being new to this stuff, I don't know what "Repo Sync & Build" means. But I've used the rom linked below, and in my eyes, it was merely the March 13th nightly of the AOKP rom port--also on droidhive, their latest is april 8th.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527544
Both the AOKP and CM9 4.0.3 roms have the same bugs as mentioned above.
No HW accel. Games crash.
Video has issues.
Data is intermittent. I'll have rock steady data all day, but then the next day it won't work at all.

im using the one on her the repo sync and build ICS AOKP.
well, one thats getting updates like the ICS roms.
like is CM9 or the AOKP better?
or pretty much the same, but with one with 'rom controll"
hell, i wouldnt mind just a port of stock ICS with boss data connectivity.
oh, with the AOKP can i update between nightlys just by wiping cache and flashing, or do i need to factory reset everything?
I use eclipse 2.2 after using liberty for .901. I tried gummy but had issues.

anyone have a link for a stock 902 thats deodexed and flashable?
The Gummy ICS rom is VERY good and is only missing a working camcorder...and that's it. I ran it for days and ZERO issues, except for that. Eventually I just got too uncomfortable not being able to use the video camera and went back to stock. It just updated yesterday as well, but still no video recording:
http://goo.im/devs/TeamGummy/Roms/Targa
For that gummy ROM do you only flash that one, becsuse the Gapps are part of it?
no there is also a Gapps package for it as well....i'm sure its on their site.
I did not see it unless it isin a different slot than the ROMs. A link would help

Will there ever be a working ICS for us?

I love my DROID 3, its a great phone with and has been holding me down for a while. But i am itching to try something different and really the development for DROID 3 is small. We have all these versions of ICS "gummy bear" or whatever and none of them have working camera or bluetooth. I know this is something that may or may not be able to be worked out, but what gives? Does anyone know if we'll ever have ICS on the DROID 3
I don't think that we will see a fully working ICS on this device anytime soon. The main thing that is missing from ICS for our phones are the HWCodecs. Without them, it will never be complete. Hashcode is having a hard time getting them to work. Also, all the ICS roms that you see out now are built from the same base so they all have the same problems.

Camera and front facing camera work on all builds.camcorder doesn't work.Bluetooth works on all builds, but sometimes you lose audio if you have Bluetooth on with no device connected.just cycle bt off and on in that case.
To answer your question, no we won't unless there's an ics leak for the d3.

The simple answer is: no, we won't. The long answer you can find on "hash of codes" blog.
The saddest thing is HASHCODE this in only one person on this planet who worked on ICS for D3
Like i sed before on other topic, its not a problem have a full wroking ICS on D3 but it take a lot of work
The same was with Milestone 1 and Gingerbread, Kabaldan do everything for milestone 1 even ICS
This is very very sad, because is a lot of people who will do everything for D3 but they dont have sufficient skills like Kabaldan / HasHcode and others etc.

When you're looking to weekend devs as your only source of code development on hardware less than a year old ... (xt860 was released in Canada august 4th 2011) it's a sign of a ****ty manufacturer. Hardware quality is there but w/out software/manufacturer support it's sort of useless.

Android 4.1

Google is expected by some to announce Android 4.1 Jellybean next week along with their Nexus 7 tablet. Besides chrome integration and a new search widget, what do you guys think will be included with this update?
Since its coded 4.1 and not 5, i expect Android ICS devices will be updated to 4.1 as it is pretty soon to updgrade hardware requirements as 1gb is pretty muh still the standard adn most ICS devices have this amount of RAM. This said, do you guys think any developers will begin porting 4.1 to our devices, even with the hardware codecs and other issues still being prevelant? Would you guys really want it like this, half built?
If this update is good, would this persuade you to upgrade to the droid4, as it will have a higher probability of having a completely working port? since it has ICS now leaked and working, and still a high end phone, when not compared to the SIII atleast.
I think our device runs fine on Gingerbread still...
It would be nice for a port but the little development we have now is already stable with gingerbread.
It was leaked that the GNex will be getting 4.1. As for us running it... I would bet large sums of money against it working right.
From RootzWiki: Galaxy Nexus to get Jellybean 4.1
Screenshot proof:
http://rootzwiki.com/uploads/monthly_06_2012/ccs-808-0-41169000-1340388367_thumb.jpg
Although this is the GSM versions pictured, it won't be tough to build it from source for the CDMA GNex before it's pushed.
4.0.3 to 4.0.4 was pushed to most if not all custom ICS roms. I don't see why 4.1 would not follow, unless there are MAJOR changes which from what I've read there really aren't. I would expect Gummy and AOKP to bring it to their roms in the near future.
However I highly doubt it will change how we stand with our current issues and most likely may cause some new ones.
Ehhh gingerbread runs ok on our phones in my opinion, ics was ALOT faster for me. Im using elcipse right now and its fast but my benchmakrs with ics were much higher, os ran smoother too.
That is a good point by the poster above, so that is high hopes of seeing a port even though I know it wont bring any more features than we already have, except the minor changes to the OS. It will be fun to test though. In around 12 hours we will have better knowledgge of what Jwlly Bean has to offer
I'm sorry but what's the point in upgrading if we won't have a proper ICS on D3 anyway?

Oh really
So if you were able to get custom kernels working does that mean you could use something like a modded Bionic ICS kernel (since its very similar hardware) or would a kernel have to be made from scratch.
The Nexus S is getting an official Jellybean update, and it only has 512MB of memory, just like the Droid3.
I read that memory limitations are what prevented devices like the NexS and the Droid3 from getting properly updated to ICS. I also read that Jellybean probably has looser system requirements than ICS, due to optimizations.
I do hope we can get JellyBean, either officially or otherwise. I'd love to have Google Now and I'm only halfway through my two-year contract.

Correct. Also he has said that we will be able to get Jellybean. I would imagine with all he has learned this year, he can probably get it fully running now. Hwcodecs may be the showstopper though...again. In theory a workaround may be available since we have a custom kernel.

512 is enough but I think the issue has something to do with RAM being shared with the GPU so there is less avaliable, I get something around 330MB as total RAM when adding the 2 numbers under running services. My Droid 3 running stock 2.3.4 with bloat frozen is using around 250 MB. My Touchpad with CM9 and a full 1GB of RAM idles at around 300MB of RAM used, and its going to be less conservative on RAM usage since its got a GB.
The point is I don't think a CM9/10 ROM will be much worse than a bloated GB ROM as far as RAM usage goes. I really wish we had some more RAM, but I could see CM9/10 being a daily driver sometime in the future. The rest of the hardware in this phone is still pretty decent and CM should be no problem for it as long as the team can get some drivers working.

Getting ready to buy Droid 4

Hey everybody,
Just curious what the development scene looked like for the D4? I need a qwerty keyboard and I'm currently on the D2 with the new update so I no longer have root or ICS which means I'm looking to move on to the latest of the qwerty droid family. However I don't want to get something and find that nobody is working on anything for it, since ultimately I'd like to end up with some version of JB on my phone, I figure since the devs have been able to get ICS onto it that it won't take that much more of an effort to get JB onto it. Is this true or am I just blowing hot air?
I really loved the D4 when I went to mess around with it at the store and will most likely end up getting it since my D2 is at the end of it's life but I figured it get a feel for what the dev scene looked like for the D4.
Cheers!

Phone has a locked bootloader, which means less dev. Current leaks of ICS work well. Easy enough to root and debloat. Plus Moto was tasteful on the their tweaks to ICS, for the most part it's stock. If your a flash-a-hollic though this is probably not the phone for you as the device has been out for some time and has little support here.
I'm not sure it's quite as bleak as all that. I agree that this is probably not the phone for flashaholics. There is not a ton of dev support but there is some. The ICS leaks pulled from Moto are surprisingly nice. Blur is kept to a minimum and bloat can be easily frozen if not removed. The ICS ROMs based off of the stock GB kernel are a little rough due to trying to run off of a GB kernel. The ICS ROMS built off of the leaked ICS builds are coming along nicely however. The data issues present on the GB builds are all but gone. We have both CM9 and AOKP ports built off the ICS leak and hopefully we'll see a Gummy port based off the leak as well. I too am hoping we'll eventually see a JB build but it's awfully early to be speculating on that. My hope is that, at the least, we'll see working JB builds running off our ICS kernel. Since JB is not a complete overhaul like going from GB to ICS I am hopeful such a build would run well without the same issues we saw running ICS on the GB kernel.
do you think if the Razr gets the JB update, would the Droid 4 get it then?

The data issues present on the GB builds are all but gone. We have both CM9 and AOKP ports built off the ICS leak and hopefully we'll see a Gummy port based off the leak as well. I too am hoping we'll eventually see a JB build but it's awfully early to be speculating on that. My hope is that, at the least, we'll see working JB builds running off our ICS kernel. Since JB is not a complete overhaul like going from GB to ICS I am hopeful such a build would run well without the same issues we saw running ICS on the GB kernel.

Not quite sure why you would use bleak in response to either the OP's post or mine, and then proceed to mutter the same things I said afterwards.
Thanks guys, hopefully we'll see a JB port that runs on the ICS kernel
Whatever happened to the kexec exploit? My understanding was people were just waiting for the source of the ICS kernel to drop.
Once that happens, we can do pretty much anything we want
