Is there anyone working on a kernel for US Cellular? I just want to overclock amd get a speedier ROM.
I mean US Cellular is CDMA as well running evdo. So i cant think it would be too hard to do?
I see posts about verizon flashes, but i dont want to take the chance.

I just flashed my US Cellular Tab this morning to VZW by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175. Now, I'm on stock VZW and can play with some of the cool stuff the devs are creating
Do hacks and things that say [VZW/SPRINT] work for US Cellular as well? I'm kinda wondering one what would work on my USC SGT. I'm very new to Android yet. My Tab isn't even two months old yet.
I believe they do, I just rooted and flashed my US Cellular Galaxy tab and it works great now! I was worried at first but I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585619
I had a few bumps in the road but nothing too bad!
The sprint, verizon, and U.S. Cellular gtabs are identical. I cross flash between the 3 all the time. Check out the rom made by randomking called osprey for sprint. The galaxy cube rom for verizon is pretty good too. You can also install ics: cm9 or aokp. Our model is p1c. There really wasnt much devlopment being done for this tab in the past. But cm9 looks promising... Im currently using osprey. Maybe u guys can come up with something new...

Has anyone seen any news on weather or not we will be getting ics for our DROID 3? Not cm9 but the official. I poke around twitter and google but can't find anything new, its all outdated.

Motorola does not list the Droid 3 on any of their roadmaps...it is like they just forgot about the device.
I would not hold my breath but at this point there is no official response in ether direction.
We are all waiting for Motorola to issue some updates... I think they are going to make the announcements all at the same time, of which phones will and won't make the upgrade.
D3 is in good shape though, it runs almost the same CPU and GPU as Galaxy Nexus, just has half the memory. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I remember seeing somewhere that motorola is redoing their software update page on their website, I know they are working on it as we speak. I would hope that it's soon, I remember google saying that the updates should be quicker with ICS but saying and doing are two different things.

Even if Moto and Verizon don't officially give ICS to the D3, you can bet that shortly after they release it for either the Razr or Bionic that it will be ported in it's "blurred" setup to the D3.

Keep in mind that if they don't release it for the Droid 3, the "ported" version based from those won't get the new kernel that those devices get along with their ICS upgrade...
If they release just one of the phones Hash supports for ICS with a camera, that is all we really need anyway.

Evaluation & Planning
Further details to follow.
They state that some products may not make it beyond the Evaluation stage....
Categorized in 1 Gig ram devices and 512 Meg Ram devices. Bionic, Razr and Droid4 are also listed as "Evaluation & Planning".
This is good news, but dumb because all those 4 phones should have been evaluated when being made for ics compatibility

I wonder if they had to build their new blur before making the actual ICS builds for their phones.
Still I'm happy that they have at least acknowledged that the D3 might get updated to ICS maybe someday possibly a remote chance.
Interesting...the Motorola Razr is in "Development" status but the Droid Razr is still only "Evaluation and Planning" stage....
Verizon must be a big part of the problem....as even the 3G Xoom's are "Evaluation and Planning" while the WiFi Xoom already has it (and non-us WiFi are in Development).

I noticed the same thing... It looks like for the first time Canada might be getting something quicker than the US... (At least in the RAZR ICS upgrade department).
All I care about is that the RAZR upgrade code leaks so that way we can get the cameras working within CM9, then maybe I'll jump ship from stock.

that still really doesn't help as Hashcode has pointed out the dependencies the ICS camera has on the ION driver inside the ICS kernel....which are not present in the Gingerbread kernel that will still be running on the Droid 3 with CM9.
These dependencies won't go away on a Razr ICS camera....as the kernel will be getting updated along with the OS when they push it out.

I agree. All Verizon dual-core phones - even the Bionic, Razr series and D4 - are the same status. I think that Verizon's approval process and bloatware install requirements have become too unpredictable to allow for a definitive upgrade period.
It wouldn't surprise me if a working ics blur rom existed at moto and was stable. The hurdle has always been verizon. I can't understand the forced bloat concept considering most users don't use it and will root now to rid themselves of it.

Might as well get started by making an official thread for the Motorola Software Upgrade page. I will be checking this page on a daily basis, so as soon as any official updates are posted you will be sure that this thread will be updated also.
Official Link: https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
"We will review the status of upgrades and update this page on a monthly basis."

Update changelog: (newest updates at the top)

October 1, 2012: Motorola has updated their page today, however there do not seem to be any noticeable changes made from the previous update.
September 29, 2012: Still no update on the Atrix HD front. However, Motorola has officially cancelled the ICS OTA update for the Atrix 4G, Photon 4G, and Electrify. These devices will remain on Gingerbread. A message from Punit Soni, the new software lead at Motorola, further details this decision:
Motorola Mobility continues to review how each device can deliver the very best experience possible, and at times, this can mean making tough choices – especially as it relates to Android software upgrades. Today, we need to let you know about some tough choices related to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades. Specifically, ATRIX 4G, Photon 4G and Electrify will not receive the ICS upgrade, but continue to be supported with maintenance releases to ensure optimum performance for the consumer.
We are committed to being more transparent than ever on our software upgrade strategy – even when we’re delivering news consumers may not want to hear. We are doing everything possible to continually improve our communication with you and make sure you are a satisfied customer. That’s why we recently announced our $100 rebate program for owners of these and other devices launched in 2011 and beyond that won’t get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This program starts in the U.S. this fall, and we are working to expand it to select regions around the world. Please watch for updates at motorola.com/tradeup.

September 22, 2012: The Atrix HD has not yet been added to the software upgrade chart yet. No sign of Jelly Bean for anything aside from the Wi-Fi XOOM. We already know it's coming to the RAZR M and HD, but that's the extent of it at the moment. Further devices will likely be added in the future, however. On a separate note, let us mourn with our fellow Atrix brethren (Atrix 4G owners only - as of September 25, Atrix 2 US owners now have the ICS soak test underway) who may end up not seeing an official OTA release for ICS - their upgrade plans have been changed to "Future plans coming soon."

Atrix 2 got official ICS few days ago. Only Atrix 4G which is still unknown.
I'm an ex-Atrix user. It's a shame if they can't keep their promise. Further plans can describe anything. I think they will skip ICS and leaping to JB.
Btw,Atrix HD should get JB in December.

The Atrix 2 ICS OTA that you are referring to did not happen in the US yet. The US version of the phone has yet to receive an official rollout from Motorola/AT&T. I realize that in other regions the phone has received its update.

Yeah..It's been available in some Asian countries. And it can be ported to custom ROM which can be used for all regions.
as long as the RAZR M series isnt on the list we're good... but if they add the M, HD MAXX, and not the atrix HD, we gotta make some serious noise

With powerful specs of Atrix HD,I'm pretty sure it won't be abandoned. JB is a must.

I believe Motorola said something about current phones getting jellybean and if they don't then they'll give you $100 to put towards one of the recently announced phones such as the razr m or something along those lines. I'll see if I can find the article. I'm going to say that the Atrix HD will be receiving the update, it's specs are more than capable and Motorola would be crazy to not do it, the Atrix series is pretty popular.

Here's the article. http://androinica.com/2012/09/motor...ers/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews

Once they find anything useful for Razr M or Razr HD such as rooting or cwm,I believe it can be used on our Atrix HD as well.
Has there been any indication if T-Mobile will update their original Note to JB 4.1? With AT&T's leaked JB 4.1 update , I'm curious if anyone has heard one way or another where T-Mobile might be with this.

Yeah that is a good question. Along with the Note I'm curious if they're going to also drop the JB update for the SGS2.
I hope they do update the Note soon though. I just updated my SGS3 and I really like Google Now.
I hope they do. I loved it on my gs3! I didnt wanna root but might have too. Is there a note 2 rom available?

Along with the benefits of the upgrade to 4.1 Jellybean , the original Galaxy Note is getting the Premium Suite upgrade. No word on if/when T-Mobile may pass this along officially.
I've seen the Samsung page about this, and listened carefully at TMoNews.com. Anyone heard or seen anything new about this?
Unless you're really hung up on the premium suite, I don't see any reason not to go to CM10. I'm using a nightly and 4.2.2 is very stable and fast. I can't believe how smooth the screen transitions are, generally a faster phone overall and you're not stuck with all the other bloatware. I do miss wifi calling, but my coverage has somewhat improved where I live. I also have Google Now, which I'm still playing with. I too got sick of waiting for the 4.1.2 update. So if we could get the premium suite and TMO wifi calling ported over to our CM10 distro, it would be perfect IMHO.
I agree that CM10 is a great stable fast rom, but it would be nice for Samsung and T-Mobile to give a little support to our phones. I personally would like to see the Suite make it's way down to us, even as a flash alone package from a dev. But considering the lack of devs for our devices, I won't hold my breath.

I have given up on waiting. Galaxy Note users on Tmobile is so low that I have a feeling they couldn't careless for us anymore if we get the JellyBean update or not. I am here in XDA right now looking for the best custom ROM for the original Galaxy Note. My GNote's stock firmware is already giving me the Windows98-bloated-and-slow effect.
So far I'm leaning more on the Padawan ROM, although not officially for Tmobile, I'll take chance because of the support for the S-Pen. Besides I'm reading on some post that it works.
[UPDATE]
No go on the Padawan. Too much hassle. I need my phone to work, right away. Instead of debugging it, I just installed AvatarROM. I need Wifi Calling though. Please help.
I've ordered a Moto X Developer's Edition. I'm a TMobile customer. While I expect I'll be using the pure Android OS that presumably is installed on the Dev Ed phone, I'm thinking I may want to add a few TMo features (wifi calling, visual voice mail) and maybe even at some point try the TMobile OS in its entirety (Sense 5? I dunno).
WIth my trusty HTC Sensation, which is a TMobile-issued phone, I've enjoyed being able to switch back and forth between pure Android and full-fledged TMobile Sense 4.x (and now even a preview of Sense 5), depending on my mood. I've also used a number of hybrid ROMs that incorporate some features of TMobile's custom OS. All have their advantages and disavantages, and I like to ROM-hop.
So, my question: Are there people out there who are stripping off desirable TMobile applets or are otherwise modding ROMs for use on a Moto X DevEd? I know nobody does this for the money, but I'm someone who likes to donate to these talented folks, btw.
Thanks.
This post is cute. T-Mobile doesn't make sense. HTC makes sense ui on all their android phones whether Verizon at&t or any other android phone carrier.
Moto is stock and that's all. Check android development section if there are any custom ROMs.
As far as their apps Google for them. I have visual voicemail on my nexus and the other T-Mobile app to make plan changes on the fly

Visual Voicemail is available on Play. WiFi Calling is not available on any phones not officially sold by T-Mobile, so there's no WiFi calling on the X.

Oh, yeah. I use ROMs with Sense so seldom that I forgot that it was HTC and not TMo.
(I might as well come clean here: I'm an old geezer. Just don't ask me who the president of the US is or what day it is.)
Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you for the clarification. If anybody figures out a way to get wifi calling on a DevEd phone, please holler.
It's easy to do WiFi calling, just not with the T-Mobile app on the Moto X. I use an app named GrooveIP and a Google Voice number. It is a different phone number but that could be an advantage or a disadvantage.
