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...

Per Droid Life, and Twitter, Verizon tweeted that they are in the midst of updating their Software Upgrade Timeline. Droid Life is stating they feel the X2 is a yes in getting it.

We can only hope! I saw, tweet the snot out of Verzion and DEMAND ICS for the X2 (and adding an unlocked boot loader would be icing on the cake, er sandwich)
I have to agree with this list. Although I don't think the x1 down will receive ICS to push users to get newer devices.
It better also come with an unlocked bootloader IF we get ICS!
Good news. We deserve SOMETHING from Motorola. If not an unlocked bootloader then ICS for sure. Motorola has given us nothing but a few crappy bug fixes. lol. But Im not in too much of a hurry though since I have CM7 now.

True, very true. But, to have an official ICS means possibly that Dragonzkiller and company can REALLY go to town on CM9 for the X2!
Motorola better not stiff us on ICS like they did the boot loaders.
But, the X2 will still be my final Moto device since they lied to us about the boot loaders and have not returned a single email I've sent. And I've been cordial and tactful. No hate, no cussing, no name-calling; very business-like but frank and to the point.

This could be why 2.3.5 still hasn't been released for this phone after tht leak.... Still on 2.3.4 eclipse and running great.
I was under the impression Moto said that every dual-core device would get ICS eventually.

It didn't, only way to get GB on the OG was through custom ROMs such as CM7.
ICS maybe is better then no ICS at all... err. Think we all need patience, I am sure Moto will be pushing ICS to their 4G devices first, but who knows.

If Moto gives us four (?) crappy updates and drops support, it will be a cold day when I buy moto again.

Is somebody working on CM9 or ICS for X2 or are we going to need a pushed ICS update for the kernel before a ROM is attempted?
I doubt we will get it but if we do? A 4.0 superbloated blur infested phone is what we will have. My question would be...will 2nd init likely have to be started from scratch?

I'm waiting until either the bionic or razor to get it and watch their forums to see what moto has screwed up or even make it possible to root my theory is that we might have to create a new 2int which would suck

I hope we definitely get it, but if CM7 mod can get out of beta and be almost 100% working I'll be fine with that until ICS. Personally I think it's 50/50 for us to get it or not. It's arguably the best pure 3G dual-core phone on the market

I would like to believe that but the Droid X had way better reception inside buildings then the Droid X2 I currently have. I have tried everything currently running eclipse 2.0.3 with mash up mod. I been thinking about trying CM7 but not if its really better then eclipse.

I'm wondering what to do about Ice Cream Sandwich when it's released for the Thunderburp, I can un-root and install a stock OTA ROM or I can wait until the devs start releasing their ROMs.
To some extent, it depends on timing, if the devs get ICS for the T'belch soon, I'll go that route but I'm thinking the OTA might hit first so...
What would you do? Unroot and get the OTA or wait for the modded ICS ROMs to start popping up?
Im pretty sure we will have it before it goes OTA and have rooted roms ready. I will have a stock rooted ICS rom out as soon as one of my connections gets me the ruu.
Much appreciated but.... the RUUs seem very hard to come by.
I know there are at least two (probably many more) ROMs waiting for a workingi radio but they've been waiting for awhile now!
Hope the wait's about to end....
Meanwhile, the OTA will arrive "soon" but "soon" means different things to different people, to geologists and VZW it could be millions of years!
I'm too old to wait that long.....

HTC will have the update ready soon. What takes time is for Verizon to get the RUU, make it take its pants off, thoroughly violate it, bloat it, then wait a few more months to release it just to piss us off

Nope, I've had very bad luck with Samsung phones and won't ever get another.
Not a viable option for me.
I have been looking and looking but I cant find a CM9 port for the Rezound.. Can someone link me?
How stable is it?
The INC port is incredibly good now, and im deciding whether to snag the rezound or the Gs3.
in one word.....No
Edit: the best shot you have at a stable ics ROM is one of the last 2 leaks.

But here is the Nightly thread:

Note that it has been closed more or less due to abuse (excessive off-topic discussion and general whining)

RIL and ICS kernel are the primary roadblocks. Both have been worked on behind the scenes, RIL is fixed and kernel will happen eventually. CM9 will likely arrive in full form sooner or later, but currently not complete and stable.
That sucks! how is the INC way more stable than the rezound for ICS?
So.. when ICS comes out from verizon for the rezound, Cm9 stable will be possible?

Even though I don't particularly like Sense, the Sense ROMs I've tried are generally more completely functional that the Sense-less ones. I'm willing to roll with one (Nils' Business Sense) until a CM9 port comes out.
But to address the OP, the SGS3 will probably have a better CPU at the least when it comes out; don't know about radios & camera, though. It also looks like the CM9 work is already farther along. If you can wait, you can order or pre-order the GS3 and return it if the camera or radio prove to be intolerable. I probably would have waited too if my mom hadn't had an emergency need for my Inc

if u really want cm9 get a verizon 3G HTC phone...those are the only ones that have the most chance of getting a stable aosp rom.....any LTE phones will need major reworks done for it to be 100%

I agree but Cleanrom dev ed and slimrom are pretty solid. I've not had ANY issues with either one. Especially with the themes from pilot, pretty sweet! If your looking for AOSP the themes at least give it that feel or look (kinda).

Well, when verizon pushes out the ICS update for the rezound, will the Cm9 pick up and become stable?

Work on CM9 on the GS3 is only for the international version, 3g, the US version will have LTE and will have the same issues.
Two words... Released Source....
Until we have that, it will be tough going.
Unfortunately, it appears the halcyon days of AOSP on Verizon are past. Hope I'm proves wrong by the GS3.
I'd like to help change that. Have never developed for an Android kernel before, but have done Linux work. Willing to take a shot at the pmem issues at least. Sent a PM to dmeadows to see if he's down but not expecting much. I'll just have to wait and see
It seems like development took a huge leap in a few months. But it has been 3-4 months with no updates. Any word on some more stable updates for ICS for X2? Also thank you for all your hard work.
This should be in the Q&A section.
And to answer your question, we will most likely see little to no updates for our Droid X2 unless dragonzkiller gets kexec or jelly bean running. ICS is as good as its going to get right now.

Pretty much this, without kexec we won't be tasting true ICS/JB anyway.
I would love ICS but none work. All are 80% or less working.

And thats how its going to stay unless we get a workaround. Which is what kexec is.
Yup patience is key. DZK has said he is working on it, but with school and all the other devices he supports, it could be a while.
On the other hand i can't wait for it either! lol.
Cool thank you for the info.
DKZ also posted up that CM9(ICS) won't be getting anymore attention since they are no longer putting out any updates for CM9.
There's not much to do wiithout a proper kernel, cm9 on the X2 is so limited because of this. Everything than can be done with a stock gb kernel has been done.
