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.

I think you're looking for this: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/508881#508881
"...
Any additional devices that will be slated to get ICS will be mentioned here: Motorola Android Software Upgrade News in the future. Doesn't mean that Atrix can't make the list. A decision just hasn't been made at this point.

Granted that post was a month ago but I don't think anything has changed.
Well I just hope it happens

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.

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
Really and where is this tweet I haven't seen hide nor hair of anyone saying anything about what is or isn't getting ICS.
I agree there are no guarantees but if the bootloader ever gets unlocked I am sure someone will build some source ROMs for it. I also, and this is 100% opinion, think it will get ICS as long as Google kicks the devs at Motorola in the ass and tells them to stop releasing buggy as **** software. That and the device will still be fairly new, even if it is seriously lacking in the memory department. Hell I bet someone build ICS for the OG DROID.
it would be nice to see the ICS on this device. i hope development continues for it especially after the long wait for GB to arrive but my fear is that it will be overlooked do to the new devices coming soon...only time will tell...
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

Do You Think The Droid X2 Will Receive Official Android 4.0 Update?
While there is obviously no official information on this I'm confident we will receive the update this summer.
Based on the fact that they haven't even said the Droid 3 is getting it, I'm leaning toward no.

Erm, why?
I have a strong inkling that we wont see it. According to what Moto said, we should get it, but that wouldn't be the first time Moto wasn't honest (bootloaders).
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I'm guessing yes, we're all waiting for 2.3.5 officially and not that non-finished leak. Maybe they skipped that and are going to 4.0.1.
I'm betting we wont see it until the day after I upgrade.

Here is what Motorola is saying right now concerning ICS:
A note about Ice Cream Sandwich:
We are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR™ by Motorola, Motorola RAZR™, Motorola XOOM™ and DROID BIONIC™ by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices.
Click to expand...

Considering it's been officially released by Google, isn't it time for Motorola to get on the ball? I guess we could see it, but the real question is, will we see it?
You can keep up-to-date on this information at the Motorola Android Software Upgrade site at https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
motorola is saying to twitter followers that their software update page is in the process of being updated. And come to think of it, apart from Razr, Bionic nothing is confirmed. However, if you take a look at the remaining phones motorola has, for verizon the D3 and X2 are the two top dogs from the rest of the phones. AT&T has atrix 4g...
And if they ask users to be patient and wait for an update on the website, chances are they are saying so to keep them excited. And they probably wouldn't raise the hopes of people like that whose phone isn't going to be updated. So, we may see updates to more phones. And if they are gonna update more phones they can not leave the X2 as it is one of the top phones among the phones that are not yet confirmed.
So long story short, I think we are gonna see an update.
I have also been reading by different reviewers and such that, they feel like the dual core phones will likely receive ICS. But, you never know. If the DX2 does get it, I would bet on this summer.
'Keeps fingers crossed until upgrade in Sept'
Dzk got it on his x2 but dont ask him bout it. It could be sooner than anyone thinks

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.

Makes sense that you'd see an Atrix 2 leak by now. It uses the same OMAP 4430 chipset as the droid RAZR, so it was probably just a matter of porting.

I've searched but can't find a good howto for cheesecake on the Atrix 4G. Does anyone have a guide for those unfamiliar to the process?
Nevermind, I found it. Don't know why I couldn't find it before....
Project Cheesecake
It would be great to check available updates on the test servers, but it seems that we need to reverse-engineer the protocol
I don't think we will get a leak at least within a month. Atrix 2 and RAZR share the same platform, so Atrix 2 will get official ICS earlier. Also, I think ICS release date for Atrix highly depends on NVIDIA. There is no Tegra2-based phone (Atrix, Captivate Glide, Optimus 2X, Galaxy R) that already has leaked ICS build, and only two of them (Atrix, Optimus 2X) have possible release dates (both in Q3)
Last I read, and I can't for the life of me find the article now, but it said Atrix 4G would be late Q3, so still a wee while yet. Im thinking September, but really its all speculation at the end of the day.

AFAIK, no. Kernel will be different, as the Atrix ATT is not like the Atrix INT.
So if there's exists a chance that it will work on int, only kernel devolopers might know.
