Guys, did u hear this??? Our Defy has already got ICS port... Can we do something with this??? Check the link below, I dig it deep and see if I can find out something useful for RAZR... BTW, it is still in first phase.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353003
Defy is rather old but have a strong and hardworking dev community. Glad they get the ICS from devs, we will get it officially. Patience is a virtue.
I can't wait till we get ICS, however Motoblur is pretty nice

Hi all, Yeah! will be waiting for Dev to port ICS to Razr.
hope this would not take too long.
Patience is virtue.

Yeah, watch at it, nothing works on there.
I'm sure ATRIX will get it too before the RAZR: ATRIX can count on other great devs like t0dbld and on an unlocked bootloader.
RAZR will get only the Motorola official ICS update 'cause even if there's at least me (I've ever been in Kernel jobs, never tried to build Android system partitions, but as someone asked me to try I will...) we still haven't got an unlockable bootloader (that will come with the ICS update) so it's useless to even try to build ICS for it.
That will result in a barely usable system as ICS will need (probably) a different updated kernel (2.6.36?) and won't work okay on our 2.6.35.
We just have to wait for Motorola to release the ICS update that will contain our joy (unlockable bootloader) and the new kernel with the new ICS system.
Ics doesn't even have flash right now. I can wait. Gingerbread works just fine for me.

Agreed. Ports never work 100% anyways. Why try to make this powerhouse look/feel like an older/lesser phone? We'll get it soon enough, and it'll be better than all other initial ICS phones, including the Nexus, in my opinion.

Yes guys, unlocking the bootloader is the first target for us.. but, did u guys check @droidrzr.com? They were able to manage to mod a partial ICS.. OTA Update I did is lagging me behind for the root, otherwise I would have given it a try... waiting for a proper SBF to unbrick if we stuck anywhere on flashing or Modding... Wait to be continued...

So are most devs waiting for the rezounds ics ota to leak or are some working on porting ics from the sensation leak and or the nexus? I know it will be a while, but was just wondering if anyone knew anything.

I think Dmeadows started on porting the ICS leak from the Sensation but not sure if he is still working on it.
Rezound is scheduled to get the OTA update soon based on what HTC said.

We don't have a kernel to run it. You can port sensation gingerbread for example because we have a gingerbread kernel. I am also not sure how it would work out with the larger screen resolution.
Not that I talk to the devs, but I'm guessing if you want everything to be working, it's best to wait for the manufacturer to release the compatible files/drivers/etc instead of trying to hack things together because it just gets messy and nothing will work that well. I'm guessing once HTC releases the official ICS build you'll see AOSP ports shortly after.

This is just a place holder for Sensed Version of HC I'm working on.... Stay tuned. it might be a little bit because I need to get all the glitches out of my GB rom and have that running smoothly before I jump back onto HC. But work has begun already
For all you Sense fans I bring you ReSensed
The first release will for the most part look stock (no theming) and then the 2nd release will be more themed..
reserved for me
another for me......
If you can figure out why Netflix lags so badly in HC I would be interested in giving HC another shot. Whenever I try Netflix in HC the sound stream always gets ahead of the video stream. This never happens in GB.

I used your desensed rom and added back some sense apps and other little changes. I called it Sensible

I used Tasker (though there are other automated CPU utilities) to automatically switch the governor to "performance" when Netflix is running. That fixed the issue right there. Basically, Netflix doesn't play nice with the governors in Honeycomb.
On the cheap, you can just install the "No Frills CPU" utility and manually switch the governor before running Netflix.

So....are you already done with the DeSensed version of HC? I thought it still had some bugs to work out? That's why I originally went with the CypherROM.
Pleeease tell me you'll be sticking around! I think you are one of the last hold-outs for making some decent ROMs for our precious Views!
- Jim
i know, isn't it sad that there's only like less than 5 developers for the View, but 23984938243 for the flyer? ugh. either way, excited for this one
WOW..I thought all the devs ran away..I guess there's still hope for something new to finally come out...
So what's cooking?

You are very welcome! I enjoy doing it. I've been MIA for a couple of weeks because of school and my computer crashing but I do have something to test I am currently using my GB rom and just have to address a couple of issues with it, then I will be back on HC. I just wish the process of going from GB, to HC and back was easier. I mean it's not difficult but when you are doing roms for both it's a pain in the ass to have to keep switching. I will most likely release this either sometime this weekend or next week after my finals.
My ultimate goal was to use the Aroma installer and have one single rom that users could pick and choose which sense elements they wanted to include and what desensed elements they wanted to include but Aroma doesnt work well with our recovery. I guess there is no touch driver included in our recovery so it makes it so it's not really usable. Which sucks, because it would have been easier to maintain one rom than two or actually 3 now I know JMZ was working on a recovery with the touch driver but not sure how that came along.
Man, I'm looking forward to this! Will it have the stock reader app installed as well?
I'm leaving for vacation friday and hoping this will be available by then
I'd be happy to donate if that's a possibility.

I too would like to see this continue, but I'm afraid nearly all development for the View appears to have been dropped. I like seeing the focus on ICS, but it will take months or more to get to a daily driver (my experience, coming from the EVO, one of the most popular phones out there). I hope I'm wrong.

I too am curious. I'm not too interested in the ICS rom, but am very interested in this rom.
I got the Galaxy player 4.0 yesterday and it got rooted using this toolkit (DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0]) no problem .
This morning I found out about the 4.2 model so I returned the 4.0 (unrooted smoothly!) and got myself a 4.2.
I just got done trying to root it using the toolkit and it did not work. According to SamSung, the 4.2 runs the same version of Android (2.3.5) as the 4.0 but apparently whatever tweak they got on the 4.2 is preventing it from being rooted using the same method.
Anyone has any idea what I might try next to get it rooted?
Thanks!
this is Q&A not development
moved to general - this isn't development
same problem
hey i am going to get the 4.2 because it looks really nice but when i get it i want to root it right away and get 4.0 fresh on it. I know it just came out 5 days ago but is there no way to get it rooted?

By 4.0 you mean?
android 4.0 ics. i was assuming that there could/would be a rom made with 4.0 on it. either way, can it at least be rooted on 2.3.5?

Actually it is running 2.3.6 and so far from what I have read, it is much harder to root due to the exploit that was used on the 2.3.5 or earlier has been patched.
I guess we'll just have to wait one of the developers come up with something for this player.
I might just end up returning this player and get an used Galaxy Skyrocket and use that for a media player. It has more storage (16GB), slightly bigger screen (4.5"), better camera and of course LTE when I need to use it as a backup phone.
K I got it now and there is no other page with any information on rooting the4.2 so if a developer sees this could you please start looking into rotting the 4.2
I just talked to a rep from Samsung and she said they have started development on android 4.0 for the 4.2!

Can someone port an ICS/JB ROM onto the Galaxy Player 4.2 (YP-GI1)? I really want to update my software, the 4.0/5.0 both have ICS on it and it would be great if my device could have it too, Thanks!
Development is still small. You are going to have to wait because I believe no one hasn't build a custom rom yet.

ICS porting worked chronologically:
The SGP 5.0 was the first to have working ICS ports and it took months before the Bluetooth bug was fixed.
Several months after 5.0 ports stabilized, some developers ported it to the SGP 4.0.
I suspect it worked this way, because there are a larger number of SGP 5.0 owners, hence leading to more output.
And, if my suspicions are correct, then it is going to be a very long while before the SGP 4.2/3.6 see any ports respectively, as I suspect that the number of people who own those devices is smaller yet.
It is feasible, but that would mean that a lot of our devs here who have done successful ports to the 4.0/5.0 would need their own SGP 4.2/3.6 to test their builds and ports on. And, I just don't see them spending money on an already under-supported device.
But, who knows? Crazier things have happened here on the SGP forums.
Is anyone working on this device? I have seen someone on the CyanogenMod Forums say that they have ICS on it but it's very unstable. Of course I can't believe that... But people got a root working using Odin3. If there is any developer that has this device and seeing this post, please.. reply! Thanks

Being rooted is a state of existence. You can add it or take it away at your disposal. Being rooted just means that you have the Super User binaries installed on your device. You un-root by uninstalling those binaries. Flashing a ROM with or without root simply means that the ROM you flashed has or doesn't have those binaries.
So, if you flash a rooted ROM over your currently rooted ROM, that's OK. That simply means you have older or newer binaries on your device. (And, yes. You can update Super User binaries.)
there is a rooted gingerbread stock rom, but I believe the dev that made it doesn't even have a 4.2 and had to rely on others to test it, even the 4.0 has a very small number of devs on it, and half the ones we've had in the past have moved on to newer devices. I doubt there will be any ICS/JB goodness for the 4.2 simply because there are no devs that actually own one, atleast as far as users on here go, maybe some guy somewhere might be working on it but they sure aren't here.
Yeah I used that exact ROM anyway to get the rooted gingerbread ROM but thanks anyway
