So with the ICS event just ending I'm curious to if this will affect the Atrix at all? Can I be expecting any sort of ICS rom to flash whether it's supported officially or not?
He said it... But all of us muggles are thinking it. My excitement is unfathomable and I have no idea where I am going to get my ICS fix... We are still in beta for CM7 so what are the chances of us getting CM9 when it appears? How long are we talking before the atrix can share in all of the vanilla ICS goodness, and will it be before CM9? What do the timelines usually look like for these kinds of things?
They mentioned that all gingerbread devices should get ICS too. But who knows how that statement will hold up.

let's just hope that it's gonna be next month
currently you can install the wallpapers and the font to satisfy your crave for ICS. i also saw the system dump being available...

Certainly, I can say with 100% certainty that nobody knows WHEN for certain.
ICS roms will pop up here as fast as humanly possible once we have source code. As for an official update from Samsung to ICS: given the history with the Captivate getting official gingerbread, don't hold your breath. In fact don't even stay up late waiting for it to get home. You might as well order a pizza and turn on Netflix because you're in for a long, lonely night like an Eagles song.

There shouldn't be any doubt as to whether all the GSII variants will get ICS. They WILL. It is Samsung's flagship phone they are going to support it for a while. Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson have signed a new contract with Google to provide more timely updates. Given you may have to wait a few months after source is released to get ICS, after than updates should come very fast. But either way...custom ROMs will probably get you there sooner.
Everyone is asking and talking about ICS, they complain that GSII will not be updated to ISC for "ages" to come.
I wanted to ask wether the buzz is about the Official ICS update or about the rom update. From what I know a working ICS rom should be out within weeks, am I not right? Could it be longer?
I am planing to buy a GSII but if I wont see ISC on it I'd rather get Galaxy Nexus.
Where did you hear a working ICS ROM would be out in weeks?
There are ICS ROM's around but not everything works so it's not good enough for a daily ROM, obviously everyone is hoping that a 100% working fully functional ROM comes sooner rather than later but devs need to be given as much time as they need.
ICS to be out officially late December, early January for SGS2 international...
I find it interesting how an update hasn't been issued in months, and the leaked update (198_7) never ended up being officially released. I wonder if that means either Moto has given up updating the phone or they are waiting for a newer GB or ICS build to release?
I'm very happy with my Photon with 198_7, although I have received the muted auto issue a few times that I thought Moto had fixed.
This is typical behavior. Updates don't typically happen every couple of months with android. There's a huge gap between them and its always been this way where have you been? Moto isn't focusing on updating gingerbread anymore there aren't major issues with our phone just minor. Their main focus is ice cream on newer devices including the photon. Again, manufacturers have always been silent about updates unless its a pure Google device i.e nexus, nexus s. Moto is hard at work right now to bring us some official ics real soon. My guess is some time before spring break (March-ish) not to forget stupid sprint still has to approve it which could take a month or two :rolls eyes:

Sprint won't be stupid if they wait a month or two testing ICS before an offical OTAP. They've learned from past OS OTAPs that careful QA/QC of OS upgrades are manadtory for the best customer experience.
I for one am not worried whether not we get any updates of gingerbread. The only problem I ever had with this phone with random restart in that was cured with 198_7. As for ice cream sandwich I'm not worried whether not moto pushes out a build. I think ice cream sandwich itself is flawless and should not be skinned. I will be happy with a fully functional cm 9.

idk but i hope sprint and moto send out ics, or someone builds it here. i really want it. dont get me wrong i like what i have now just ics is sooo nice

Lol? Builds it? We already have a damn good working ics rom where have you been? As the great joker said "I think its safe to say the photon has ics" lol

Yeah we have a build that works better than most of these other phones that have a build.
You know I love how motorola builds it's own homes not based off release blah I can't think... Everyone should know waht I mean the gingerbread interface google released was way different from waht we got which I think is way better than googles!

i am a proud owner of an xt910 with the current eu 2.3.6 version + rooted and i am a bit confused. there was a leak of ics in the US but has it been converted for us poor eu relatives? Can someone point me to the correct post so i can enjoy a bit of ice cream?
Fraid not - there was a leak for gsm much earlier - but AFAIK the US leak is incompatible with gsm razrs.
is it working well? which thread is it?
just wait. you'll end up doing something stupid to your phone and go through headache after headache like everybody else on this board too impatient to wait for updates. these razrs arent like other phones. keep it stock..trust me.

Couldn't agree more. I've tried all of the ICS builds for the Razr (GSM) and none are quite there yet. It's best just to wait, but if you really can't wait then I suggest you grab an ICS build of CM9, AOKP, or Gummy - the GSM ICS leak was way back in Feb - quite a lot of bugs then.
So I've been wondering about what photon users would think. Is there anyone out there beside me who would be game for a "Don't call it Blur" based ice Rom with that Atrix Leak? Just testing the waters here...

I think at this point it's just a wait and see game as the code is there for anyone with the skills to make use of it, and it can probably help towards making not only an ICS build but perhaps a JB one as well.
Just remains to be seen if anyone will take up the task I suppose. I grabbed the leak almost as soon as it was hosted the other day and I have it backed up in several locations, but I haven't a clue where to begin with such things so, I'll leave that to the more talented individuals.
While I keep thinking "Sure, I'd love to get ICS on the Photon, and JB too come to think of it..." I really don't have any specific need to have ICS or JB, and neither of them are going to get the battery life that GB currently offers on this device, not even close. I guess after decades of working with computers and electronics I'm just getting sick of being infected by "Upgraditis" where I have that addiction to always having the latest and greatest.
GB works just fine for me.
My vision is blurry
The original blur that was released with the Motorola Backflip sucked in my opinion but the version that came with the Photon I really enjoyed. I'm curious to see what it is like on ICS myself. The integration with social networks and the extra bells and whistles it provided I did enjoy but with all the ICS and JB option I didn't feel like running GB any longer.
I'm not a dev by any means but I like to mess around with stuff. I'm currently trying to use Jokers CM9 to port the ICS leak. I have a zip that will flash with no errors but it hangs on the boot screen. I'm updating my Linux install now so I can run logcat during boot to see what it is causing it to hang. I make no promises on anything but I love to learn new things. This is my first attempt at anything like this so it may just blow up in my face, time will tell.
I'm down for trying Ice Cream Sandblur (or Jelly Blur). I don't have that low an opinion of Blur itself, it's just that on our phones, the way it is now, the best of everything is in CM10 (or CM7 if you need camera). I have a Gingerblur-based Nandroid, and I have it set up kinda nice, but I honestly don't use most of the Blur stuff. It's nice to have as an option though, I suppose.
I'm also curious ，does anyone can make a ROM just based on leaked ICS from Atrix？If that ROM appear ，Photon is regeneration！I really hope someon can take up the task！

You have got the backup huh~ Just send it to jokersax or Thii.. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
If there was both a fully working ICS/JB Blur and CM. it would make no sense to even bother with Blur. Blur would offer nothing over CM, or any other AOSP based ROM, except having Blur as you launcher and 4G for locked users.
Idk, i think that new roms are fun. I love playing with new operating systems, so i know I'd Want to play with blur.
