Jelly Bean for the Bionic? - Motorola Droid Bionic

Are there any developers willing to try to create a ROM based on Jelly bean yet? I would be interested if there were.
Mod edit : not development moved to Q & A

Need a JB kernel to make a real JB ROM...locked bootloader, silly goose.

Didn't stop people from making ICS roms. Now that we have a supported ICS kernel with full hardware acceleration I can't imagine Jelly Bean being that difficult to implement since it's a fairly minor update. It may be difficult getting all the "project butter" optimizations working without the JB kernel though.

Defy with locked bootloader and even old GB kernel has JB port now. From Eclair,Froyo,Gingerbread,ICS till JB. They have a much supported developers.

From what I have read, dhacker29 is working on a build of 4.1 for the Razr and once its done he will port it to the Bionic since hardware wise they are very similar. Considering the changes from 4.0 to 4.1 are mostly small, I doubt we will need a new kernel like we did when going from 2.3 to 4.0. Still I expect we will see an official 4.1 release later this year from Motorola.

So...What about Jelly Bean, Android 4.1?

Well, Google has announced an incremental update to Ice Cream Sandwich, called Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and it's Phone and tablet UI like ICS.
Little info here.
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html
So, it's using ICS and Honeycomb driver model, but there are other things like the so-called "LAG free" that seems to be a real change inside android, but I think devs will get a workaround. So, is possible to port this new update?

Maybe, hope that ...
Right now we still haven't stable Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS),
But I think if we -hope soon, then we could have a stable Cyanogenmod 10 (Jelly Bean) .. What ????!!!! Cyanogenmod 10 !! looks good
Thanks for news
Best Regards
Seems it's not a bug update..close to ics, so just might happen.
Don't forget about hardware limitation.
We won't get all the features from Jelly Bean. Even ICS, we won't.
I think CM9 is already a magical ROM coming for us.
To have a Jelly Bean, it's quadratic magic! lol.
Let's hope we have CM9 without bugs and then AOKP too.
For now, it's more logical.
We have not got ICS till yet and you are talking about jelly bean
Still a long way to go
Real Contributors Dont BeG for Thanks
Cheers
Like I knew somebody is going to ask is somebody going to port JB to our device... it does not give us THAT much improvements to spend time on development.
And, what everybody said above, even ICS is not usable (no camera, lack of RAM, lots of bugs). Luckily, i'm happy with my Gingerbread CM7.2, and i'm just watching the situation closely
ICS CM9 Camera?
Can someone tell me whether Camera is working on the most recent CM9 ROM (GalaxyICS) for Galaxy mini.
I heard that Camera is somewhat working and we may have a working Camera in the next release. Is this true, someone give some info on this, please.

We already have a working camera in the new upcoming cm 9
Then there will be bug updates though fm radio has a long way to go but stock ics can still get a radio so we can hope cm 10 or jelly bean to start by next year minimum, and cheers.

Don't get over-excited guys, ics barely works on gmini right now due to low ram *edit* low EVERYTHING, and I assume that jellybean will simply be more resource-demanding, so just pull your horses until we get properly working ics m'kay? To be honest, I don't believe that we will ever get cm9/ics as stable as cm7, simply due to hardware limitations of galaxy mini.
Next year this phone will be the worstest of the worst... cmon, 600MHz processor in 2013?
Forget about Jelly Bean, we still have bugs in ****ing gingerbread (camera orientation), ICS is not stable enough too...
it is possible to make a buggy android 4.1 port from gnexus ...
but i dont think that that will be cool xD

Galaxy Nexus is ARMv7. Just wait for the source.
Question first...Why port something we know won't ever be able to run stable on our device because we don't have drivers which is kept close sourced?
And also that drivers just can't be compiled as with happened to the Adreno200 drivers for ICS to armv6.
You need to rewrite the whole code, possibly even write new code to drivers for our device. And I doubt the people who make these drivers and publish these sort of stuff want to spend any extra work on trying to make it work on our devices.
We'll be stuck with Gingerbread guys. End of story.
No, JB is a "small" update. Drives from ICS will work fine on JB. So, it may even be a little faster. Anyway, I will try to build it when source comes out.
sry not the kernel, it needs to be modded -.-

Lol, show me one advanced user that still has HTC Dream as his main phone? After all it has 528 MHz CPU (slow POS just like our mini), and has been released 2 years (or more?) earlier than Galaxy mini - how can you compare that?
And.. why would one buy an HTC - they are so ****ing complicate to flash - HBOOT, fastboot, bootloader downgrade, firmware downgrade, using the command prompt in windows - nothing here on Samsung

[Q] Jelly Bean port

Hey, just wondering, is anyone working on a Jelly Bean port for the LG02X?
I know ICS hasn't even been officially released so some drivers are missing,
and they plan on officially releasing the source code in 2 weeks, but what about
that ripped image from the nexus? isn't there anything anyone could do?
Thanks in advance for answers.

It might be possible to port it - but as the source code is coming soon there's no real need for a port which will get replaced by a properly compiled version anyways.
All we have to do is wait until the magic of devs works
for now... im still using latest cm9 that is available here XDD
But we'll have the same problem with HW acceleration as we have with ICS, won't we?
I think there will be a port soon, but we will have the same problems with HW and the other Stuff. But thats Nvidia's and LG`s fault
True, but as for ICS roms, it would be one of the only problems (hopefully).
Lots of people are happy with their ICS roms on the O2X, so I don't think it would bother them to upgrade to JB
I think the developers should keep working on ICS/CM9 , there are still many bugs etc.. So, why should they start working on Jelly Bean when ICS isn't as good as it should or could be (and i'm not talking about HW accelleration, i know that it's not working yet..)
Let's hope that Nvidia and LG will give us the official ICS and the drivers as soon as possible
There should be within the coming months considering the SDK preview is now available.

Jelly bean custom rom question

So with ICS on the way to OTA within the next few months, there's sure to be some custom ISC roms for the bionic, right?
Since JB is an incremental upgrade from ICS, will developers be able to get JB on the bionic before it's official announcement/release?

Im going to make a safe bet and say that next month when the source comes out it will hit a lot of devices and maybe even yours... but you might want to stay proactive and work with someone to make sure it happens.

In order for JellyBean to be fully functional on a device, it needs a kernel that supports all the features that are a part of the operating system.
Since Moto's phones have a locked bootloader, it prevents the kernel from being modified by anything except official updates from Motorola.
If we see any JB ROMs on the Bionic, they're going to be incomplete and unstable (like how ICS ROMs were before the ICS leaks) because they won't be able to run with a kernel that supports all its features.
Imagine having a Nissan and wanting to put a Honda engine inside it instead. None of the connectors and parts are going to fit together properly and you're going to have to make a bunch of small hacks/mods to make it work, and you can only hope that it behaves properly once you put it all together. That's pretty much what it's like to force a kernel mismatch on locked bootloader devices.
Jelly Bean source code dropped late yesterday.

This means almost nothing for the Bionic. The Bionic gets to be saddled with a kernel for ICS 4.0.4 which won't support all the upgrades and tweaks made for JB. If we get a JB ROM it'll extremely difficult for 100% of the features in JB to work.
Hash code has kexec fully working on the Droid 3 running his 3.0 kernel. He has a cm9 rom for it almost ready to be released. On his twitter he said that he plans to port kexec to the other phones he supports which would be this bionic and the Droid 4. Dhacker is also working on jb for the razor which he plans to port to the bionic in the meantime.

Good news, but we are still playing the waiting game. Kind of BS for a phone that I paid $300 for. Its "My phone", and should have been unlocked a looooong time ago as stated by Verizon and Moto. Q3 2011 if I recall correctly. Oh well, I'll deal with my ICS leak until its official as at least it saves me the frustration of wanting to throw the phone against the wall.
Jb build is out for bionic and kexec is up and running on the bionic.

I'm not a developer but, its my under standing that CM10 is Kexec ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec ) which allows the JB kernal to run on top of the ICS kernal and bypass MOTO's signature checks and locked bootloader. They have just started developing CM10 JB for the Bionic so they are having data issues and the camera doesn't work. Another guy said bluetooth doesn't work. Its not ready to be a daily driver yet.
Now on the plus side it is FAST and SMOOTH!! Google Speak is AWESOME!! Way better then Siri (Siri still can set appointments GS can't). Even though this is in Alpha stage and it came out 2 weeks ago IMHO this is going to be the way togo very soon once they get a few bugs ironed out. It will get there. We still don't technically have ICS for the Bionic and I can almost bet my right arm MOTO will not release an OTA JB.
Once they get everything up and running I would jump on JB for my bionic in a heartbeat...Having ICS is nice (honestly I forget it's not the official build because the phone runs so much better already) but nothing is as smooth as butter.
agreed
reviving this old thread.
any latest news on JB yet? (cm10) or whatever may be floating around out there.

Official ICS + JB = ?

So I don't know much about Android development but since JB is supposedly pretty close to ICS, now that ICS is officially out, does this mean a JB with a working camera is possible? Or am I a dumbass?

I think people who assume and who dont actually ask questions are dumb... never think that of some1 who openly asks
Anything is possible, but doubt it cause as far as I know, simply adding drivers from ICS to a JB build isn't all that easy. Could be very wrong though

[Q] GB, ICS, or JB?

I just got a Galaxy S and am surprised to see so many JB roms available.
I would probably switch over to this phone from my Xperia S, just to use Voodoo Sound
My question is, is JB roms currently stable enough compared to ICS or GB?
Please provide feedback only if you've tried all three versions before :silly:
Yes jb is good i have tried most roms and i blv super nexus rom is very good .. But u cant customize it.. Try it your self ...

Dear,
I am developing only the FlymeOS for i9000 at now ; soon i will developing a Custom Rom with 4.0.4 base...
You can really forget JB Roms , the one good JB for i9000 is only 4.1.2 ; you can forget JB 4.2.1 and 4.2.2
They are quite fast at beginning , but you will notice how lazy they are going to be ..
I highly recommend ICS roms , because they are really fast and they haven't bugs.
There are some apps that are only avalible for Android 4.0+ (like Nova Launcher) , and so I really can't see that ICS is outdated.
Thats why i only develop and port roms for ICS on i9000 device.

Yup, agreed here. Don't get us (or at least me) wrong, 4.2.2 is fantastic. But ICS is rock stable in just about eery aspect and 4.1.2 is pretty damn good as well if you still want to consider Jelly Bean.
Although @UnlimitedRom, you have to admit Google Now is pretty neat
A lot of JB apks can be pushed manually or installed normally on ICS roms anyway.. Just that ICs roms in general are less customiseable than JB roms.
By the way, FlymeOS is looking goooood

Only 4.1.2 is a good Jelly Bean for i9000

I bet that if i9000 device is to lazy for Android 5.0 , there will be lots developers who develop for 4.0.4 ...

Yeah, when google released 4.2 I don't really see the point of it except for some nicer animations or not so important functions.
I was shocked at the sheer number of JB roms for this phone at first because on my previous experiences, JB don't work really well on single core phones
I'd give JB a try first and if it's really bad I would try out the rom of yours, it looks great

Hey, you never know, rumours are flaoting around that 5.0 is going to be optimised for devices with a 1Ghz processor and 512MB of rom( (one or the other or both). So you never know, 5.0 might really bring the S back to life
But yeah, 4.0.4 is a really good base for the I9000. Smooth, stable but not too taxing for the processor at all (not to mention some pretty good battery life, daaaaaaamn)

Yeah, agreed. The JB roms optimised for gaming work decently- although that's HEAVILY optimised and debloated to give as quick an experience as possible. But it's an OS optimised mostly for dual cores and above. There are very few single-core devices- if at all- that run 4.1 officially, and for pretty damn good reason. Only one I can think of is the Nexus S (Nexus version of the Galaxy S, bearing in mind), and even then 4.2 was dropped for that device. So while its still possible to have Jelly Bean fully functional, at the end of the day...
