4.2 - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/13/breaking-android-4-2-being-released-to-aosp/
4.2 is released to aosp can we start building for our device?

It's unfortunately going to take quite some work to get this especially without having jb already to work from. The rez still doesn't have fully functioning ics aosp, let alone jb

Why doesn't the rezound have aosp? What's so tricky about the RIL

They do and its pretty stable, just a few small things I believe

Posted this in another thread but I have a Jellybean AOKP test build available. Tester needs S-ON bootloader unlocked. Not S-Off, cause I don't want to brick anyone. Also need to be able to get/send me a logcat of the build. PM me.

The "ril" is the " radio interface layer", so basically if they cant get AOSP to work with it, your phone wouldn't be able to send/recieve call/text/data... basically useless..... and AOSP 4.2 will take for ever to create without making it a " hybrid " with htc parts. cause of HTC not releasing new kernal sources or what ever...... but if your talking abou HTC official 4.2 release, it will most likely be never cause this phone is just luck enough to get talk about jellybean 4.1 by HTC....

Custom Jelly Bean Roms For Rezound?

So I've been looking around and from what I can tell, the jelly bean situation for the rezound is looking pretty bleak considering the fact that it hasn't even received ics yet. That doesn't phase me though because I figured I could just install a custom rom and get it now; however, it seems thats not the case because for some reason no one seems confident that a custom jelly bean rom for the rezound is possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there already custom jb roms for other phones? So I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me why a custom jb rom for the rezound is not possible? And if it is why hasn't anyone made one?
If you were to search a little more I believe the answer would become more clear to you

Rather than flame you into oblivion I'm going to spare you and explain.
There are currently no AOSP ROMs available for the rezound - only sense based ROMs. As there are no sense based jelly bean ROMs, there are no jelly bean ROMs period for the rezound.
Now my real advice - read more, wait patiently, and don't ask for etas.

Soooo uhhh hmmm... When's the ETA on when we can start asking bout ETAs? Lol jk.. just yanking or chain. K.. my answer for OP: I can almost certainly promise u that by mid next 2013 we should see jelly bean for Rezound. Reason I say that is because as of recently the RIL (which is what allows the phone to receive 4G LTE) has finally been cracked/resolved. And the official OTA ICS is soon for us. Also ICS-Jelly Bean is not that huge of an update, it is most likely we will be receiving that as well.

cant be that broken.........its cm9 which has basically all the base code for msm8660 devices.....the kernel is the only thing that might not be ready due to being a 2.6.35 kernel and not 3.0 but 2.6.35 works fine for the most part

Are you serious? Stuck?
Considering that only 0.8% (not event one percent) of Android handsets globally have JB, Rezound owners will now be in the category second only to those with GB on their handsets. Enjoy ICS for now and you know very well that the amazing devs here will generate a JB ROM for the Rezound as soon as they have the "raw materials" to do so.

Yes i am very much serious that I'm stuck. Don't get me wrong, i like ics a lot, but I find it annoying that Google releases New versions of android and i don't get to use them until months later. I know it's not Googles fault, but it is frustrating nonetheless. That is why I'm waiting for the next nexus phone. Until then I'll rely on the awesome devs here at xda.

CM9 for Thunderbolt

This is probably more of a discussion for the CM forum, but I figured I'd post here anyway.
Do you guys think we will see CM9 or even possibly CM10 for the Thunderbolt? If not, what about AOKP or MIUI (official releases). I don't see why not granted that we already have working data on 4.0.4.

That's awesome news. What's stopping them from working with the leak opposed to the official OTA? The leaked copy is close to flawless. The only problems I saw with it was the Sense 3.6.
The official release marks the start of the 90 day period for kernel source release. That is what they are waiting on

What he is doing isn't porting. He's actually attempting to compile cm9 straight from their source.

Use liquid as a base because they used cm9 as a base for them. I wouldn't see why it would not work..

I think it's interesting they are giving ICS a go when we aren't even officially supported on CM7. Cant' even find nightly builds on get.cm/
Liquids base would probably work but I think it would be important for him to select the right phone to port from as liquids Rom is a port.

Probably not officially supported, but I've seen CM7/9/10 on the Droid Inc (my first android phone) and CM9 plus currently working on CM10 on Rezound (my 2nd android phone).. AFAIK, thunderbolt has CM7 and CM9, and I can honestly see some Cyanogen in this phones future
Id like to see it but either way one has to wait for HTC to release the kernel to start original development right?
Yes it is supported....

Yes there is a CM10 build available, however it does not (and probably never will) have working data. Smart phone without data equals dumb phone.
Fortunately there are a couple of talented themers who have put a lot of nice lipstick on the HTC/sense UI (EclipszeRemix) which is good but not the same thing as stock.

His device is somewhat old, so that's why he assumed that it may never have data on CM. Once a device has been out for some time, it loses support as devs move on to new devices. It's the circle of life.
There has been trouble getting CM to work on the last several verizon HTC phones. Even if they get a port working, there are usually broken features due to HTC's changes to android (camera, BT stack, etc).
I guess your best bet is that if you really have to have CM10 on your device, you don't buy the device until CM10 is working to your liking. That will save everyone alot of headache of listening to users complain about not having CM10 on a phone that no one promised it for.

Unfortunately the Thunderbolt only has CM7, which isn't officially supported. There is AOSP ICS but not by CM.
In regard to several posts within this thread, Th kerne source will be helpful but the true issue is the RIL(radio interface layer) that prevents aosp from being ported. If the RIL can be cracked we should have a fully functional CM10 build and it will likely be fully supported. I know for a fact that there are already devs working on this and S-off so hang tight guys things should get interesting. We have some awesome devs on this project already!

ALSO IMPORTANT: Please for the love of god do not try to install any build of CM10 you find on the internet on this device(they are designed for other devices with other chipsets and antenna pairings). YOU WILL REGRET IT, and you will likeley brick your device.(valid until we have our own port as of right now this device is completely unsupported. just trust me on this.)
And to the data being functional see my previous post!

Yes since all the note 2s have almost identical hardware it should be really easy to port roms between them. My bet is give it a week until we get cm then aokp will be an easy port.

Even the international variant doesn't have fully working CM10 yet the last I saw, though they were getting close. Historically, CDMA devices are even harder to get working.

I thought the Verizon model had different partitions etc. The reason why the unlock process was different.
Do we know what devs might be working on a CM10 port? If somebody is working on it, it would be nice to have a status thread. I know that is asking alot and we are very early in the "post-unlocked bootloader era", but I just want a device that has stock jelly bean on it! Even with Bean's ROM it is way too Touch-Wizy.
I would give money to that person, assuming they are committed to ongoing support (aka they own the SGH-I605).

sbrissen is "working" on it, and I'm guessing there will be a post about it at some point soon, but that is on his time table. It will be posted when ready for public consumption.
Also, the VZW version has a slightly different partition layout, but not overly different. Most of the partitions are at the same location as the international variant. The other versions didn't have an unlock process because their bootloader wasn't locked. The unlock guide you see posted is for the SIM card so you can use any carrier SIM in it.

The sad thing about the facebutt world is it created users who want everything now. There needs to be normal roms in mass and then we will get aokp. I can't think of a vzw phone whose boot loader was cracked so fast, I wasn't interested in the s3. The Htc phones I've had as of late took months to get "fixed" but that gave time for devs to work on their roms. I'm in enjoying my note as is [rooted & unlocked] at the moment. However, if you are looking for a timetable use 3 months and we should have some nice roms by then.

Any devs working on a 4.3 Sense 5?

As I'm sure you've heard, a pre-release ROM was leaked for the M7 that is Sense 5 Android 4.3, and there are now several M7 ROMs based on the leaked software. Is anyone working on getting this to the DNA? I know we now have official CM10.2, as well as official PACman, ReVolt, and Cyanfox. Plus all the unofficial AOSP 4.3 ROMs. We also have a member of team Cyanfox right here in the DNA forums! And, of course, the 4.2.2 based Sense 5 ROMs. Who's to say the one of the amazing devs here can't get us the best of both worlds?
And also, if this was done, wouldn't newt be able to update his GPE ROM to 4.3?

They'll probably wait for the official DNA release since its due sometime this month. If the release is delayed I'm sure a port will surface.
