Is android 4.0 coming to the droid 3 or is anyone making a rom of it?

All we have to do is make it work on our phone.

Plz sir all I want is the camera app.

after just watching the ICS unveil with Galaxy Nexus.... I want it all!!

I'm not too sure how useful a system dump from an ICS AVD will be, but I'll post it here in a few minutes.
EDIT: I'm getting parsing errors. I've never extracted apps from an AVD, so I'm not sure if this is normal. You would think it would at least get to the install screen. Oh well, here's the dump: http://www.mediafire.com/?oogc8yhwj415xyn

It will come in the form of Cyanogenmod.

I'm downloading everything from Google atm. But it'll take me about another hour or two (thank you Baylor ****ernet!) before I can comb through everything.

In time. In time. First they need to release the AOSP version of ICS.

Doesn't help make a good ROM as any rom based off an emulator image is going to have issues.
What they released is an emulator image to help you when developing apps. It's an SDK (Software Development Kit) and not very useful to ROM building.

whats AOSP in lamens terms?..
i think they will. Droid 3 was sold out for weeks (atleast in florida). so its a popular device. They wont leave us out, i think we will get all the features except the NFC as it isnt supported on our phones

I want the keyboard

AOSP translates to Android Open Source Project, however I am not sure what the difference is between sdk and aosp as far as development is concerned

Sounds like the newly launched Droid Razr will get ICS in early 2012:
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/10/motorola-droid-razr-to-receive-ics-update-in-2012/
I imagine this means the Bionic will get it as well since its similar spec'd to the Razr (both have 1GB RAM), and unless RAM is an issue we should get it on the Droid 3.
Or else we will have to wait for a 3rd party ROM to do the job once the ICS source is released, if its possible with the locked bootloader. The OG Droid runs Gingerbread on only 256MB of RAM, ICS will probably run on 512MB of RAM without all the bloat of an OEM rom.

Hey brobeans. Just sayin, every Moto phone with 1GB of RAM has 512MB exclusively for webtop. That means Android never touches it unless it's in webtop mode. So those phones are actually identical to our D3.

Easy. SDK's are for software development (apps). It is support for coding apps on Android. Each version of the OS gets an SDK as new API's are added or updated, etc... It's only useful for writing apps for the version OS the SDK matches.
Software Development Kit - build apps
AOSP is the source code to the Android OS (ROM). It is what is used for those that compile ROMs from source (most devs seem to either modify the stock ROM off the phone or copy CyanogenMod's source tree and not Google's). Android Open Source Project is where the ROM source code is and you can use this to build ROMs (though you need a lot more than just AOSP).
Android Open Source Project - build roms.

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.

Thank you. It is cool

First, they upgrade us in 4.2.2, this will be a start

With this power, I certainly hope so!

a chance is there but i dont think moto. will bring any new update for our device.
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.

I hope so :$

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.

^ +1

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.

Well, on the las google conference they said: all the new firmwares gonna be developed for x86 and arm proccesors at the same time
And there is a new information of Key Lime Pie
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
We only have to wait

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.

Motorola...???...Update...???...MUHAAAAA...no way, never ever...we have to buy a new moto device to get 4.3 or 5.0...

You all right, I also hope for 5.0, but it is >18 nonths; which is a kind of red line in Google update policy, isn't it?

Cool
Thanks guys for all the answers. Anyone know any more news please post here.

Another point to remember is that not all users are unlocked their phones so the service providers will also be a stumbling block / hindrance for any upgrades as we have all seen in the past

I have read that 5.0 may be released in late October.

Let Google release Kit Kat,
then let them release its source,
then let CM start working on nightlies,
let the nightlies stabilise a bit,
Non neon support has been dropped... HOPEFULLY some one using tegra device will manage to port it for us,
then maybe... who knows... depends on the nature of changes too...
Now how do you want the chances, using mathematics or statistics... should I use conditional probability
We only have official ICS, all of jellybean is unofficial...
i say enjoy the current candy, The ROM JB 4.3 is very much stable and usable as daily driver...

Hahahahahaha seriously? 4.3 is still being stabilized and you ask for 4.4 that is still not out? Geez, i love xda lol

I think it's not very hurry to get a android4.4 because 4.3 is very smooth and stable too.:cyclops:

Also, i've read that KitKat should be heavily optimized to work well with devices that have lower specs and 512 megs of memory. Sounds like a good news, but i guess only tonyp and pengus could shed some light on that

fingers crossed. Well for those who can't wait for android 4.4 and just want to have a feel of it feel free to download the apks for it.

i dunno if it's true or not, but i read this "One of the key features of the new release is optimizations made to the OS, so as to be able to run smoothly on legacy devices with just 512 MB of RAM." but with that said, i think it will be only custom roms with the Optimus 2X that will give us Android 4.4 bcs i doubt that pre 2011 phone with Android will get updated like LG would give the Optimus 2x, Android 4.4 but i could be wrong...

well i think its time to say goodbye to O2X .....been using it for almost 3 yrs.it had good run....just ordered NEXUS 5......:laugh::laugh:

If you guys are so eagerly waiting for 4.4 then why not change it in build prop .
Simple I am doing it since gingerbread. currently I am on 10.2.6

Battery and camera when change will be for the LG G2 , xiaomi mi3 or S4

Not really a wise option. The roms right now are hacked together with bits and parts from other stuff and without an updated kernel many things are causing issues and you dont get all the new under the hood improvments.

Yeah I have the source and alot is still missing compared to the DP5. I have spoken with most teams and they are all of the same mind. Until it is fixed they wont build for the n6. Some are even gonna wait until late September or October before even attempting to build it. We are all over Google groups complaining about it. Most think it has to do with Qualcom and the new Vulcan stuff that qualcomm is refusing to support on some chips.
We can only wait and see. I personally am not touching a single rom that is built at the moment. Not a fan of hack together roms.
