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 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...
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.

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!

Ok, please don't blast me, and I am not starting this thread to start a fight. I just really want some advice. I love the rezound, and I would like to get it over the Gnex as I don't like a lot of things about the Nex. However, I had the TB, and now the Bionic and I just don't want to be waiting on a never ending cycle to get to the lastest software(IE 4.0, 5.0 etc.) The reason I say this, is I know like with the TB it seems like the Devs have to build a whole new RIL in order to get the software to work with the hardware(at least in the GB and now the ICS update for the TB) and I don't want to have to wait for the same thing when JB comes out at the end of the year, but I also don't want to upgrade again in 6-9 months. I hope I have made my dilemma clear. I would like to know if you, as rezound owners, think this may happen, as I may just jump (regretfully) to the Gnex.
Also, Let me make this clear, I am in NO WAY degrading the Devs work here or else where, I am just impatient. And don't want to wait for many months for fully working roms that may or may not come. But there are a few main things I REALLY like on ICS, but the current build are just so buggy on my current devices that it's not worth using as a DD. Please don't think this is me fussing, or anything of the sort, it's just I'm looking for advice. Thanks.
The current ICS builds are pretty good. The devs did a great job with them.
As to your question about JB, only time will tell. I don't think that anyone has an answer to that.
I've had both BAMF's and Scott's ROMs on my Rezound, they are both very stable. The only thing HTC has said about the update regarding the Rezound is that it'll come later this year. It is not listed in the first batch of phones.
"According to HTC, we can expect to see the updates begin to roll out by the end of March for the original Sensation, Sensation 4G, Sensation XE, followed shortly there after by the Sensation XL. The following batch of devices will include the Rezound and Incredible S, but there is no time frame listed for that device other than, “later this year."

I don't mean as much for ics as it appears to be currently working well on the device. I'm not shy about flashing. I'm just worried that the next version jelly bean may miss the device and it will be left to the devs to get it up and running. But that's been even harder on them recently, Atleast with my experience with the tbolt, as they have to built the Ril from the ground up, or so I understand. So I don't want to be stuck on current software. I'm not saying it will happen, I just want advice on whether I should take the chance with the rezound. I do really like the device.
It was my understanding that Jelly Bean was more like a Honeycomb release...
The operating system's next version jelly bean will be optimized for tablets

Oh, I hadn't seen that. Thanks for the heads up.
Ok... I have been completely out of the Android game for at least a couple months... (unless you count the occasional check to see if anything is happening on the AOSP front)
Now we have a new leak and new ROMs. Some new devs, some old devs. Though it seems Scott has moved on, or hasn't been paying enough attention to the rezound to know there is a new leak and he needs to update his ROMs.
So, a couple questions guys.
(this info has been difficult to find in the past for the rezound as its spread out too much with no central location to find latest info, unless that has changed recently)
New leak... So we are convinced this is the final version that will hit OTA? If so, Cool...
Are the newest radios any better/worth the change? (subjective for the most part I know) No compatibility issues with the different hboots? (GB vs ICS issues excluded)
I am using the Mod'ed ICS hboot that came with the S=off exploit the day ithe exploit was released. Have we gotten any better versions of Hboot yet? (like a real engineering ICS hboot or newer Mod'ed version?) Is the Mod'ed hboot worth keeping, or should I just use the latest stock version and be done with it?
Aroma? WTF is that... its a new thing for ROM installs but what is it? I found the code page for it, but way too much info, just looking for a summery. LOL I can understand the concepts and how it works, just don't throw too much jargon at me. Coding/software isn't my field. I'll stick with avionics.

1) probably at least from what my sources tell me..but we never know
2)Theyre working great for me at least as far as ive tested on my sense 4 rom since 2 nights ago
3)its a mod installer not a rom installer.....the rom dev will include some mods and u will have the choice to install or not

The only release is the Soak test. I'm sure most of the bugs well be taken care of in the final release. Only idiots nit pick a beta.

I flashed back to GB in anticipation of the OTA this week and I absolutely hate my phone now. Doesn't help I forgot to backup my TiBu before I did and now it just sucks. Can't wait for the ICS OTA so I can get my phone back to that rockin' state I had it in. And then see what new ROMs pop up.
i personally like it, not gonna switch back. although the scrolling for me leaves a wee bit more to be desired. hopefully they fix that in the official release.

yea i know what you mean with the scrolling, then again on gingerbread when i scroll real fast to a contact, it would over scroll lol so i kinda like the new scroll action, but like i said, other than that...its pretty F'in sweet and have no desire to go back...
quick question for anyone that might know though...i used Matts Utility 1.7 to upgrade to the official .211 update....will i be able to either get the OTA or at least jump back to stock .181 and then manually update to the OTA ??? if so, can anyone and everyone that knows the simplest and safest way for a noob lol...i did use Matts Utility 1.6 to revert back to my stock .181 earlier today before i upgraded and that seemed fine....will this still work if im on the .211 leak ? any and all answers much appreciated!
and i think i should be slapped with a few more thanks...especially from the testers and developers of this amazing upgrade!
You won't be able to go back to GB, at least for the foreseeable future. With that said, if they do actually make changes from 211 leak/soak to the OTA, then what will have to happen if you're on the 211 leak is basically we will have to install the OTA like every other leak. Then once the OTA is installed we just have to wait for VZW to push the next update and it will update like any other OTA. I doubt they change anything however. The bugs that do exist are minor/few and far between.

It's not a soak test release stop spreading that misinformation.
It's being sent out in limited quantities...that doesn't mean it's a stress test. It means they don't want to bog down their servers by sending out a few million updates at once and having people complain. I wasn't part of *any* stress/soak test list and I got the update.

Hello again, everyone.
Later tonight we'll end our soak test. A phased roll out of the software will begin soon.
We are deeply grateful for the feedback and information provided. This was by far the largest soak we've ever attempted. We didn't really know what it would be like to have so many participants. We learned a lot and have already figured out some better ways to do things in the future. We appreciate you hanging in there as as we ploughed through all the information you provided.
To those of you who did not get the update or were unable to access the private community -- your experience has also helped us find and correct issues. We'll be better next time based on your feedback.
Please remember that the processes, information and communications shared during this soak test are confidential and not to be shared outside of this private community.
However, we do hope you will return to the public RAZR/RAZR Maxx community -- here and on other sites -- and help your fellow owners make the transition to Ice Cream Sandwich.
We will leave the private community up for a short time, but once you log out it will no longer be available to you. Soon we will close the threads to comments. We will continue to work with some of you and reach out if we need additional information.
Thank you so, so much. Hope to see you again in soaks. We rely on your energy, intelligence and enthusiasm.
