Time to Fire Up Cheesecake & Motowatcher? - Motorola Droid Bionic

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/2...eriously-large-331mb-update-as-build-98-72-8/
Looks like the elves in Moto's dev house are cooking away quite quickly at some updates for older devices. With the Droid Razr getting a build of JB (even though it looks like it was pulled) surely the Bionic version can't be far behind. Maybe someone can sneak an early build out of one of Moto's OTA servers so we can make our phone even better.

No need to fire it up just yet. SargeMajorDroid is keeping tabs on it, and there is an engineering build of an update to ICS to prep for JB that is around, but it is an engineering build, and will not install on our phones.
Maybe in couple of weeks, as it is the holiday season.

I didn't realize we could cheesecake from ICS to find JB leaks? I thought it was blocked or something like that

Woops sorry about that wrong tab in chrome

Shouldn't this be in a rom development thread, not a thread relating to possible upcoming leaks of jellybean? Or am I misunderstanding the question?

Cheesecake is used to find 'testing' builds of the next OTA before they go live to Soak tests. Hence it is not ROM development.

That first quote, prior to being edited out, was originally in reference to a current ICS based JB ROM issue with the Bionic. That's what I was referring to, not the cheesecake process itself.

I knew that you knew better - my bad, though, because I never saw the original only the edited one.

[Q] CM9 official port?

So is the N1 going to get an offical CM9 port or is going to just be an unofficial one?
I've heard rumors saying it will eventually get official CM9. For now, though, use samuaz's CM9 build.
In high hopes that cm9 might be arriving anytime soon for our n1.
Fingers crossed :thumbup:

Unofficial
Unofficial, I think the CM communinty abandoned the phone, but as you guys might know, here is the link. Done by texasice... Works for my N1...

In the last "CM9 Progress Update" on the cyanogenmod website :
Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan.

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?

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.

[FYI] OTA Update 4.08.605.19

I saw this on DroidLife and figured y'all might benefit from this (I hadn't seen any post's about it) so here you go
Update to Build 4.08.605.19 Published on February 1st, 2013 Written by: Kellex DroidLife.com
The original DROID Incredible by HTC, a device released almost three years ago, is set to receive its next OTA update. The update is minor to build 4.08.605.19, and simply includes a fix to reduce reboots, but man, how random is that?
We didn’t think anything could top the randomness of the Thunderbolt Ice Cream Sandwich update that popped up yesterday through Big Red’s support site, however, it’s safe to say that this just topped it.
The update is 4.2MB in size.

Love it. Seriously though if we are still seeing minor ota's for GB we should have ATLEAST got ICS 4.0.something. I wonder how many Inc's are still activated on Verizons network.

Well considering the extreme annoyance caused by the 2am reboot thing that was introduced with the last OTA, this update was long overdue. Hey, an update to ICS would be truly awesome but it would be a bit bigger than 4.2Mb I dare say (and would involve a whole lot more time and money to develop, something that would be very majorly hugely unlikely for a three year old device like this).

Verizons excuse is they didn't want to have to repartition the internal storage which would be required to fit ICS and all their bloat.

Cm 10.1 doesn't even fit well on the inc without some tweaking. There's no way a sense ICS will fit on 250mb when AOSP is smaller than sense. Do you remember how the sense build that I worked on with puremotive needed symlinks to fit and that's the lighter version of sense?

Coincidentally, I was thinking of sending my old Incredible back to stock in order to attempt maximizing its stability, because I'm giving it to my kid as a games platform for travel, etc.
The phone is no longer registered on Verizon's network, so I'm guessing that means I would not get access to an OTA update if I placed the 4.08.605.15 RUU on this phone - correct?

Any idea how to stop the nagging about this update? Running wildstangs 4.08.605.2 stock ota. I stopped the last nag with a simple edit, but can't remember what it was.
Try flashing this through CWM. Worked the last time on the OTA, should still do the trick.

Thanks omniatic. What is that apk? I was just coming back to edit my post above. I was referring to editing the build.prop to stop the OTA - not that I'm against using your attachment.
FOTAKill.apk. Not sure how it stops the nag, but it does.

Yes the update is now active. I saved it if anyone wants to root it and or check it out. I have not installed it.
I have the stock ROM.. I got prompted to update an hour ago.. it went through fine. I was hoping it would fix the proximity sensor bug which drains the battery (dialer process in battery view). Haven't checked whether it was fixed yet, but I doubt it.
FYI, I'm using the phone through Page Plus.. which relies on Verizon's network. I never expected to see an update for this phone..

Was your phone rooted and s-off prior to the OTA and if so, did you lose root? Have you tried to root again?

but if there are many new devices with x86 intel cpu we get a good chance to get new updates which are portable to our device.

im curious about which drug you guys used, can you tell me?
theres nothing but 4.2.2 for now, and nothing indicates the next version will be more than 4.3, so i doubt any device that doesnt come from factory with the jellybean 4.2 will have something like 5.0 when it becomes real.

Someone here on xda wrote, that Google starts a stock android for x86 processors.
So if android 4.3 is x86 ready, we will get the update in autumn.

There is a rumor that the android 5.0 its been developed for work with 512 mb of ram, so it gonna wake up the development for all the phones, an there is gonna be a samsung tablet with x86 ibtel proccesor, so, i think we gonna have at least 2 more official update and much more custom roms

Yes I read this too. Google made some comment about delaying the next version to allow more updates to Jelly Bean first. The stats suggest that that's succeeding.
I'm happy with how fast we got Jelly Bean. I think our device is well placed for the next version (very, very few devices have 4.1.2 as far as I'm aware). We have a thin 'skin' of Android, powerful device and a manufacturer that's keen to please.

Im actually quite content with my custom rom kitkat with the Gem Flat skin on top of it. (really quite stable just ui crash twice per week).
But then the unthinkable thing happens with one of the oldest moto droid devices went from ICS to Kitkat without any official updates due to alot of developers.

I guess its standard to question if we will see something BEFORE THE ACTUAL PUBLIC RELEASE HAPPENS AND BEFORE CYANOGENMOD, WHICH IS NOT MOTOROLA, GETS THEIR HANDS ON IT TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT PUSHING IT OUT TO OUR DEVICES.
Btw, as far as that bootloader point goes, ask yourself this, do the older devices that got left behind on GB or ICS need updated bootloaders to run KK? B/c i can guarantee i can grab my Atrix 4G or my Droid X and see KK running on both of them with GB bootloaders.

Is this a signal?
I Think, yes.
Because, this night, someone did an Android L ROM For the HTC Evo 3D [POST]
I Remember, this phone has come to the world running GB, well, ROM Is still buggy, but see, that device more older than Atrix HD, I Don't know if that device has an ''updated'' bootloader [like bootloader for ICS or JB], But i think this would be a great news for this device.
I Already tried Lollipop on a Nexus 4 [Is the official update], an i really liked it. i think is better than KK, [ppl comming here and spammin' ''KK Is better'' in 3.... 2.... 1.....]
If HTC EVO 3D Has Lollipop, Our Atrix HD's can have Lollipop too :victory: , the only thing we need is hope, and a brave developer.
and please sorry about my bad english~ :silly:
Maybe.

our devices upgrade has to do with more than kernels I need to backport some ion commits to the new qcom branches lot of guess work to what is needed and what isn't. Basically have to make a custom qcom folder for jbbl. As for the kernel there are lots of ways to get this right but it will need lots of time and testing.
