Motorola really needs to hurry up and release the source for the Photon!!! The lack of kernel/ROM development is really frustrating and I really want to put my rooted Photon through the paces!
Yes honda i know exactly what you mean. I'm hoping they release the source very soon I'm suffering from not being able to flash anything, I blame it on my og Evo

Same here. My 3D is still sitting on my desk, it is calling me but I am fighting the urge to go back!
It's tough, guys, especially with the beast of a phone that Sprint will be getting soon (SGSII), which you know will have mad support here in XDA. I will probably end up giving the Photon to my son and getting the SGSII instead.

I don't know man, I looked at that thing, I don't think I would trade it up to be honest. We will have kernel love here really soon, I can feel it. That SGSII doesn't seem very cool looking to me and I don't think I can go back to Samsung. I used to have the Eternity, the almost a smartphone but not quite. If I go to anything it won't be until 2012 when we get the HTC Kingdom or something of that nature. Can't see myself going to the SGSII, but who knows, if it has mad support and the hardware is comparable to the Photon, meaning performance and real numbers wise then its a possibility.
But I'm still not giving up on the Photon.
-DJ
I am feeling the itch too but then I step back and think about it, what is wrong with the current function of my phone then I draw a big blank. Granted I would love to push more performance to future proof but really can't see a whole lot of need to go beyond root for the immediate future.
If you are comparing the development scene to the original EVO I don't think that anything will ever compare. It was so far ahead of its time people swarmed to it. The GS2 looks great on paper (he'll it looks good in the leaked photos) but samsung has let me down with firmware (example EPIC). I can totally relate though I would love to see some CM7/MIUI on here.

As far as performance, the Exynos runs circles around the Photon... As for firmware updates, that's what we have XDA for. I am going to wait till it's released and see how it feels. I'm loving my Photon, don't get me wrong, but I've always been a tinkerer and I sort of go with the flow sort of speak. I guess I was spoiled with how the OG EVO development took off... Let's see how it goes with the Photon while we wait for the SGS2 to be released.

I don't think anything runs circles around the Photon, I think the Photon is the one running circles. As far as real numbers, that is true. If not please link me some information. That SGS2 will not beat the Photon, sorry but I am an avid overclocker with PC's and I know that if this phone out of the box out performs any phone on the market right now, its just going to get severely better with custom kernels. I personally can't wait now that we have release.

But to be honest, if you are a member of XDA, it means that you very well know how XDA devs support dozens of phones and we don't depend on updates from the manufacturers as long as they release the source code. As long as XDA devs support the SGS2, I couldn't care less if Samsung updates it or not.

I don't understand why people are so concerned with sammys support when we're all going to flash ROMs as soon as possible...
As far as benchmarks:
anandtech.com/show/4179/ti-omap4-and-lg-optimus-3d-tested
They seem to be pretty evenly matched. I would side with tegra because its more well established with greater dev support but I've not really seen that to be the case... yet. Outside of Tegrazone anyway

Sammy updates are still kind of important. Look at the epic with the gps issues. That phone had a crippled gps until it was updated. Not saying that the sg2 will have those issues, just stating that there are some things that not even our devs can fix.

Because with the samsung epic, gb was never officially released so no kernel source code. So devs can't do much other than tweaks. No cm6 no cm7, just leaks after leaks.
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.

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

I love my note and it's sad that att's flagship android device doesn't have the latest version of android. Plus I think ics will smooth out alot of the lagginess owners have been reporting.

^^This guys got a point. I will defend ICS tooth and nail, but you will rarely find me belly aching about it being on the note. I absolutely want it, but I didn't buy a phone with it already on it. I do expect ATT/Samsung to deliver it to us, but don't think we'll see it untill fall. Anything sooner will be a great surprise, anything later and I'll start complaining. If all I wanted was ICS then I would have kept my Vibrant.
Time to DIY
I saw that this morning and welp... time to flash a custom ROM -_-
I was holding off waiting for the official to get here 'later this month'. I am disappoint. Oh well... Its not hard to root anyway.
Waiting for the next o.s. update for your smartphone is a never ending game and hasn't changed.
It's not real smart to buy something HOPING it will get the next update sooner rather than later. WIth smartphones, you'll always be disappointed .
I'm running ICS on another device I have and it's not that big of a deal. I'd certainly like it on my Note but it's not something I'm waiting for with every breath.
totally untrusted source. there is no samsung norway official page+samsung norway does not speak english!! anyways the youtube video interview, that samsung executive guy who was answering questions, where it says comments, it was written that the att note will be getting the update in may

Yea I feel you on that. I'm not talking about paying them to get it finished, but just making a pool to maybe get them all to collaborate and get what they need. Structure would help.

And you know I'm actually very satisfied with the ICS roms we have now, actually more than satisfies, especially coming from tbolt where development has pretty much ceased, and my inc just got retired for the rezound, and they're killing nearly every other section as far as keeping up with o/s.

I guess they like separating the haves from the "damn, I wish I had"'s. I want the butter, the whole Siri-like search function didn't seem to like to work like I wanted. I guess you have to work for Google in order to keep up with the latest and greatest or just to keep up period. Thankfully we have devs that clean up Google's doo doo.

Apparently the new kernel has some effect on the TF300's I/O, which seems to be the main weakness on the Prime. Improve that bottleneck and it'll help a lot of different areas.
To be honest with the root tweaks my prime's performance is adequate, even if the jelly bean improvements are marginal I'll be pretty satisfied.
I just want Google Now and that higher frame rate.

I also am happy with my prime with virtuous prime rom and batoo's io scheduler and tune.sh. Butter smooth already. So JB or my current setup will be fine. I love android for the fact I have choices and solutions all the time.

that was a wonderful statement...
too many people here
(uber-techies & needy people)
forget that with all of the dev going on for this device,
they have made an already great Droid
(yes, i AM aware of its MANY shortcomings)
an AWESOME Droid!
i almost sent mine back(twice)...
the dev community convinced me to stick it out & keep it.
glad i did.
(btw, i have 5 other Droids in house; the Prime gets the most use of all)
Half of us can't even unlock and try any dev, so it doesnt apply to us until we can. We've tried to get an answer from Asus and they've done nothing.
Love my Prime
Had it since the first shipment, 12/23/11 and have no issues at all except GPS as we all know. All games run great no complaints except Madden, can't get that to run for anything. I am unlocked and rooted and flashed most of these roms. Thank you to the devs that keep our device alive and fast.
I must say I have no problems running games (those tegra games are beautiful and run great), i only have the occasional ANR while downloading torrents but pressing 'wait' just makes it disappear and everything functions. So, not much crashes or apps getting stuck
