Forgive me if this is a completely stupid question, since we're able to hack/root/whatever the nook color, why can't we install the latest android OS on it?
Check the dev thread. They are already booting an alpha version of froyo.

The latest is Gingerbread (2.3), not Froyo (2.2). The problem is that it is only officially released as source and the Nexus S. There's little developed driver support yet. As more official and user developed Gingerbread builds get released, there's a lot more to work with.
I think it's cool that they are working with Froyo, rather than Eclair though!
any news on gingerbread? i think i read somewhere we might just skip the gingerbread and go straight to ice cream sandwich?
...can anyone confirm either question?
thanks!

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.

An associate just brought this article to my attention about a program called carrier iq which is basically a keylogger trojan horse built into many android and blackberry roms.
http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/security-researcher-responds-to-carrieriq-with-video-proof-20111129/
Is this software in the stock SGT firmware?
Is this software present in the current version of overcome for the sgt?
is this software present in the android sources release (AOSP)? / Will it be in the ICS port?
Thanks for the info.
After doing a bit of research i found that aosp builds like overxome dont have this at all. I didnt do toi much digging as to wether it is in the stock roms on the sgt as im personally using overcome and will be trying out some other tweaked aosp rom builds like the honeycomb and ice cream sandwich roms when they are a bit more stable.

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 !!
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
