Photon ics - Motorola Photon 4G

So I know there's threads about photon ICS..
But I wanted to throw out the question that bothered me when I was going through Th3bills MIUI 2.8.3 thread
Will photon ics be canceled with the Q4 release?
Its just something bothering me a lot.
Cuddles here~

No one knows.. They said the Atrix would get it in Q3 (no later than September), and the Photon would get it in Q4 (no later than December). The only way we could get shafted into not getting official ICS is if they canceled both the Atrix version and the Photon version as either release will get us perfect ICS and near perfect JB. I know Moto has a history of promising things that never happen, but i highly double that both versions will get canceled. Worry not, just stay patient. And honestly, this question could have easily been answered by posting in one of the 2384589 ICS ETA threads we have already

it is still on schedule

[Q] ICS & The Atrix

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.

Certainly, I can say with 100% certainty that nobody knows WHEN for certain.
ICS roms will pop up here as fast as humanly possible once we have source code. As for an official update from Samsung to ICS: given the history with the Captivate getting official gingerbread, don't hold your breath. In fact don't even stay up late waiting for it to get home. You might as well order a pizza and turn on Netflix because you're in for a long, lonely night like an Eagles song.

There shouldn't be any doubt as to whether all the GSII variants will get ICS. They WILL. It is Samsung's flagship phone they are going to support it for a while. Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson have signed a new contract with Google to provide more timely updates. Given you may have to wait a few months after source is released to get ICS, after than updates should come very fast. But either way...custom ROMs will probably get you there sooner.

[Q] GSII and ISC

Everyone is asking and talking about ICS, they complain that GSII will not be updated to ISC for "ages" to come.
I wanted to ask wether the buzz is about the Official ICS update or about the rom update. From what I know a working ICS rom should be out within weeks, am I not right? Could it be longer?
I am planing to buy a GSII but if I wont see ISC on it I'd rather get Galaxy Nexus.
Where did you hear a working ICS ROM would be out in weeks?
There are ICS ROM's around but not everything works so it's not good enough for a daily ROM, obviously everyone is hoping that a 100% working fully functional ROM comes sooner rather than later but devs need to be given as much time as they need.
ICS to be out officially late December, early January for SGS2 international...

Moto quiet with updates?

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!

[Q] point me on the path of ics

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.
