[Q] Android 4.0 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if current smartphones and tablets will be able to get updated toAndroid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sammic' =) ) .
I was reading articles but didn't see anything regarding my question. I'm not sure if google said anything about it.

yes and no.
can they? yes.
should they? yes.
will they? for a lot of devices, no. for most other devices, it'll be a while.
look to custom ROMs if you want ICS ASAP

What kind of spec that can run ICS?
Sent from my CSL-MI410

according to what i read on endadget ICS will theoretically work on any device that ran gingerbread...

If not officially, a lot of devices will get 'unofficial' Custom support from developers here.
Keep an eye on the device specific forums.

Thanks for your replies. It seems that I'll most likely have to get an ICS Rom for my phone, just hope they don't forget the tablets. Looks awesome, and since it's suppose

To be optimized for dual-core processors, it would be a nice improvement on Honeycomb.

any one know if the atrix community will be receiving a possible honey comb for the atrix 1?
Really? Honeycomb is only for tablets dude

No need to be a douchebag, how about help this guy since obviously he got it mixed up with ice cream sandwich which basically is just honeycomb for mobiles.
anyway, for the tc, ics will be released for ATRIX, there just isn't a set date yet.

Where did you see that ICS will be released for the Atrix? I can't seem to find that anywhere.
No one he's assuming. But I kinda assume the same.

If you look at this forum post on the Motorola site and read the answer the forum administrator gave which is a official employee. The outcome does not look good. He did not say no but read it for yourself. You will have to Google Attic Motorola Forum Ice Cream Sandwich. I can't post a link for some reason.

The problem with Atrix and ICS...
... as far as I know, is the 'webtop' Laptop Dock accessory.
In order to ensure that ICS is a complete solution for Atrix, Motorola may have to invest time and resources on ensuring that people's webtops will continue to integrate and operate correctly after ICS has been deployed on the hosting handset.
Since they don't have that problem with their other handsets (although, does the new razr work with webtop, guys?), it seems they may decide to shaft everyone with an Atrix by skipping it's ICS upgrade.
There's always something with Motorola.
So if you're in love with the idea of ICS, you might want to consider a different handset.
Also, as noted, Honeycomb is tablet-android. The Atrix is running Gingerbread, the last release for handset-android before ICS.
Hope this helps.
Mind how you go.
Ics is already in development in the custom rom world. Will it get webtop functionality? Unlikely unless cm9 has that capability built in, which seems to be on the backburner for now. You can probably expect a stable build of cm9 (ics) on the atrix in a month or two, I'd guess.

Google Chrome for Android.

According to engadget, Google has just released chrome for select ics devices. I expect, nay DEMAND a port to my DX2 in 3..2..1..

Looks pretty slick.... ics only.... I assume they will make a version for gb phones.
Sucks it's ICS only. Any ideas on why it took them so long to get the ball going for this on Android? I assume ICS got the first release because of hardware acceleration, but you'd think they'd have a previously working version looooong ago.
Does anyone have the APK? We can try and install it anyways...

It does not and will not work without some serious hacking from what I've been told.
It does not work.
Heh, it started for me on my cm9 galaxy tab but then forced closed when i tried to search.
Since engadget said SELECT ics devices it wouldn't surprise me if it only works on.. Galaxy nexus for now..
*edit* my mistake, they do NOT specify select ics devices just 4.0 in general.

That's because ICS was a major upgrade from Gingerbread, especially at the kernel level. It was more of a rewrite than an upgrade.
Hence, this is looking for ICS libraries. It's possibly also looking for an ICS kernel which we don't have AND won't have unless Verizon decides to release ICS for the X2.
We are at the mercy of Verizon on this one.
Remember, CM9 will still have the GB kernel, not an ICS one since we cannot replace the kernel due to the locked bootloader. Again, at the mercy of Verizon AND Motorola on the locked bootloader.
I've been waiting for Chrome on Android for the entire time I've had an Android (about a year and a half). I just came across an article about on another website, read the whole thing with excitement, and then shot a baby when I read it was only for ICS. WTF?! That's very disappointing to me. Any thoughts as to why they did that? Maybe because it's beta and wanted limited exposure at first?
If they just now started working on getting chrome out then it really doesn't make sense to release it on gingerbread and ics. I would expect that it would be released for their newer os rather than the one that is going to be phased out. Maybe once they get all the bugs worked out they will release a version usable on gingerbread, so phones that won't be updated, or even new phones that aren't as powerful as the phones sporting ics, will be able to use it.

Because we are stuck on the gingerbread kernel, CM9 may not work unless Motorola releases ICS for DX2. As stated earlier, apk needs libraries from the ICS kernel. The only other option is to hack the actual apk.

[Q] ICS?

I know we don't have any ICS kernel sources yet but do you think we will get ICS before this August?
I thought I read somewhere that we were getting it in the next month or two. I would assume we would have a good working ICS port at the least in the next month or two. Can't speak for the devs here, but I thought that's what we were looking at. As for when ATT will push it out, that could be forever...I hate how long they take, but oh well.

Having used ICS on the captivate, it truly is an update worth switching devices for. However, I'm pretty happy with the I777 so I will just wait. Android updates that were actually really good: Froyo, Honeycomb, and ICS. The rest were just hyped too damn much and gingerbread is the worst of all of them (imho).
Wow. Use the sticky thread.

For one, it's not just ICS when Jellybean comes out, you're going to get it much quicker than anyone else. And also, it's the purest form of the Android version minus any bloatware each manufacturer puts on the phone, which can be either a pro or a con, but overall, the bloatware has been a con in the past.
IMO, Gingerbread was a very good update, Froyo didn't seem that special when I finally got it for my S7. The biggest improvement was non-broken radio firmware, which had nothing to do with Android version.
Gingerbread had significant power management improvements.

I love and appreciate all the work that the Devs have done for our phone, but if we don't get ICS soon I will be leaving this phone. A lot of my friends have phones with ICS roms and it is such a improvement over GB. I don't understand how one and two year old phones have ICS and Samsung won't allow us to have it. It is ridiculous.

What the hell is your problem? Name one phone other than the Nexus line that has received ICS officially.
HTC hasn't released any updates yet.
Motorola hasn't released any updates yet.
Sony has only released betas (I applaud them for putting out prereleases)
Asus has only pushed it to one tablet (easier to port HC tablets due to HC being a newer codebase and not having to deal with the RIL) and that was an utter disaster
So far, my experience with ICS is that it's not an improvement over Gingerbread. I haven't been able to see any significant positive improvement - some parts of the UI are a bit shinier, but the gapps user interface is clunker than it was in GB. ICS has some good improvements on tablets, but for phones - not so nice.

First of all I said that I APPRECIATE the devs!!!! And I never said that the roms were official. Almost all HTC and LG phones have ICS roms. I left t-mobile with the htc sensation and believe me that phone runs 300% better now that it is running ICS. And by the way Entropy it is no disrespect to any dev by what I said, I am rocking your Kernel right now (Excellent job). I am pissed at Samsung and them only. Our phone is supposed to be a flagship phone so what the hell is the holdup?
If you can't wait then just go get the G Nexus. These questions have been brought up and beaten to death. Just don't be surprised when Ics finally drops for our device and our Roms are superior than most. GS2 surely has the hardware to run prety much anything smoothly and dev community is strong here

Android 5 "jellybean" for HTC flyer

So. What now?
There is few - non-complete - ICS roms for the htc flyer, but nothing good enough for daily use.
We didn't even get android 4 before android 5 was out... :crying:
Drew Garen is apparently working on ICS. Maybe he should be asked to try to work on Jellybean instead?
What do you think? Will it be harder to get Jellybean? Will it ever be done?
I think you should just give it up. What makes you think we ll get 4.1,if like you said we don't even have a good ics Rom. If you realy want buy a nexus 7. It's 199 so the price is very reasonable
I'm pretty confident that Chaos is going to get his ICS build perfected with everything working, I mean, look how far he has gotten so far. I wouldn't count on DG though. Too many broken promises.
As for Jellybean. The source code isn't even released yet. Just the update for the galaxy nexus and the sdk. Sdk ports will never be as good as source builds so forget about that. When the source is released for JB I don't think it will be too hard to get an AOSP build going seeing as we already have a good ICS build. The leap wasn't as big from ICS to JB as it was from GB to ICS. So in theory, we will probably get JB (I can't speak for the other developers) sometime after the source is released.
So just sit back, be patient and keep track of any news
This is getting silly. Really! I think it is best to just cut the loses & buy something new. I think the turn around for new OS'a is shortening. I mean ICS isn't even a year old. I've learnt my lesson.
My next contract will only be 12 months. & I will dump the limping HTC brand for something else. That way I won't be disappointed.

I was kind of hoping DG would actually do something...

I personally want to use my device as long as the hardware is okay. (I still have my HTC hero, haha.) I think the lesson here is to buy a device that has loads of rom developers.
Anyways, thanks for all the replies!
Man everyone is obsessing over jelly bean...why? It's a minor update.. its a miracle chaos got ics running on this device, asking for jelly bean is a new monster. Id rather the focus be on getting ics perfect for the tablet than start over on a new monster. And idk about jelly beans New tablet mode, Id prefer the tablet ui that was introduced with honeycomb.
Thing is google cranks out new android versions quickly. People won't keep this tab forever, including developers. So the best possible experience that takes full advantage of the flyers hardware needs to be the goal not desperately trying to scrape together parts to get another version of android on the tab. Really I'm fine with honeycomb aside from the lag, and ioiwillio is working on that and so far so good

I think I'd rather get ICS running properly too.
Jelly Bean does not have a landscape home screen, which is weird.
The emphasis on voice and search is getting too much for me too. I feel like Jelly Bean was designed to collect information about you. It is getting too big brotherish.
It sounds great to get a Nexus 7 maybe 16g at least. I don't know if they have sdcard slot, that would awesome. The HTC EVO View still has great potential as a school tool. I take it everywhere take notes, make beats, do homework, watch movies, listen to music, text everyone and email. I hardly carry my phone to school or laptop. I think its still very functional, even the Gingerbread works fine on this device. I can even code. It's definitively not a 12 core that I treasure so much as to not carry it outside my home in sunny Southern California.
I would rather use telepathy but I'm stuck in a Dark Age.
Big Bro indeed. As much as I like Google, their goal of collecting all information is frightening. Information is power - someone with too much power is a tyrant.

AS Gumby said earlier i do not think it is too hard to do, i am not even sure it requires Kernel changes in order to get it working, i believe that it can share the same kernel as AOSP ICS, however don't quote me on this. I will have a look at this with whoever decides to develop
@Gumby you up for this ? ?

This could be fixed i believe, (Not by me) as i don't really know much about the APK's at all. But i beleive it is possible, the same code from an ICS lockscreen apk would work and also i believe a lot of the ICS APK's would work as this is not a major API level only a slight step up, however i could be incorrect.

Yes. It seems like I am wrong about it anyway. There IS a landscape mode in the UI.
I am thinking about ordering one. It is a shame because the Flyer has better hardware in some respects (rear camera, SD slot, MHL support). But, Nexus 7 hardware is good enough and, most importantly, it has Google supporting it so we will surely get timely software updates for a while at least. Also, I am sure that there will be a ton of Dev activity becasue this is a Google product and will probably be at least moderately successful.
Hope the community of flyer grow stronger and stronger. Anyway it is not old enough to die, with all this, All the flyer will have a longer life:fingers-crossed:

We need a ICS kernel first, and I was pretty sure the framework changes were rather intensive.
From what I can gather, the changes between HC and ICS and hell compared to the minor update from ICS to JB. If we can get a working ICS build for the Flyer, JB will seem like a piece of cake.
Back to the UI discussion, I'm actually a fan of the layout on the Nexus 7. It's actually more of a traditional phone layout which would work much better on the Flyer if the soft keys were disabled and we could go back to the hardware keys. It would free up the bottom of the screen and give us more usable space.

I'm kinda thinking that too. Ideally what I think would be perfect for the flyer is a launcher with a honeycomb layout that auto rotates to both portrait and landscape and has no dock and the apps and search bar up top just like honeycomb. Then you have the notification bar up top, virtual keys disabled, and hardware keys enabled and bam perfect flyer layout!

AS far as i am aware a port from the nexus 7 would be hard as it is different hardware (CPU MAINLY), this can cause difficulty however it might be worth giving a try but we need to wait until the kernel development king returns (CHAOS) so hopefully he will have some ideas

Yeah, I knew chaos is on vacation, plus he will have a huge demand on ics Lisbon I imagine too. Maybe future jelly bean builds will be easier to build from too, but I do think this can and should be able to be done!

Honestly I would just wait until source is out..

Well, the Tegra 3 is STILL Arm Cortex A9 cores. Only the Qualcomm Snapdragons have slightly different cores like Krait (aka 8960) which might need optimization and I am sure Qualcomm has then and will release their custom kernel when their JB products are in the market.
Just to maintain focus on simpler things in life. I am sure Chaos would appreciate, the momentum of Lisbon 1.2 is there and there is not much more to go really. The only major thing is really BT but that might have restrictions on calling for those with 3G flyer. For wifi only Flyers, keyboard support and headset support would be very welcomed. For people who has used this ROM, they must admit that the experience is greatest ever for any ROM on the working parts. So, if we can get stability and a few more functions working, we are home free!.
For Pen support, I think it is of little priority since the original Pen functionality are limited, so very seldom used.
PS: I would be very keen to see a more updated kernel in the build unless someone says, there is not much in terms of functionality we can expect, nor speed, nor Free RAM. In fact, there has not been a problem with free RAM on the flyer to date that I know of. As it is, this development is already amazing! :victory:
İ will definitely not port a N7 image, very near to impossible. İ will only work on the source code of JB, not using ports.
