Dear Gods and Mortals,
I've just joined XDA a few minutes ago, and am about to post for the very first time.. Please be gentle to a certified n00b..:angel:
Anyway, I've learned a lot reading articles here in XDA, and I think it's time I give back, and hope my 3 cents worth would be of any help..
I'm using an Atrix MB861, and just like you guys, am frustrated with Motorola for not sharing ice cream with us..
I have also read that the ICS ROMs of Samsung Galaxy R i9103 and LG Optimus 2x are not useful in the effort of improving ICS and JB efforts for the Atrix.
After sifting through some Chinese websites, I've come across ZTE U970 (Mimosa, Grand), which may have similar specs with the Atrix. Maybe some dev can try disassembling it for some usable kernels or whatchoo-choos.
They have posted on their website a JB/ICS ROM update. (Sorry, as a n00b cannot post links)
So, is it of any use? I really someone checks it out whether it's legit.
Thank you for your time and for bearing with a n00b post.:silly:
doqmyk
PS: presently using epinter's (THANK YOU:good CM10.1.. fast, stable, very usable.. just no mic and poor cam.
PS2: Also, can anyone tell me how to click the so-called "ThankYou" button? I use IE10 and FF Beta, but I see no "Thank You button"..
This has already been discussed, the only kernel that passed the tests to run on the Atrix was the kernel of the Galaxy R that is currently being ported by our devs.
Hi,
I have localy almost all tegra2 devices kernels. Also ZTE Grand's one. I'm using them as reference. ZTE uses same method of lcd panel init, LG has similar method of tegrapart use (mmc partition offset), Xooms has similar (older) PMU. Each one is helpful, yet none is compatible enough to be used on it's own. Since getting JTAG uart we can work on any kernel, so galaxy/xoom only kernel is no longer valid (just for clarification).
If you check the website download, they have the NEW TEST ROM 4.1 JB version. As I reviewed the old XDA posts, it only points to the old 4.0 stock ROM with 2.6 kernel, NOT the new Test ROM.
Maybe we can download the NEW 4.1 ROM and see if we can analyze it for stuff we can use or modify, as Atrix and U970 comes from the same AP20/AP25 Tegra2 Family. Who knows, they might have a working 3.x kernel on their NEW test ROM..
Still hoping ang believing...
Reading the much older posts (Aug 2012), many (readers, not the Devs) seem to shoot down the idea of using the built-in drivers in these ROMS without actually trying to crack or use it first.. Better try NOW, as Moto ICS upgrade is a dream. Now, because it's a matter of principle. Now, because the longer the time, the more new powerful cheaper phones arrive to distract us away from our principles..:crying:
Anyway, enough of the yada-yada. If anyone is interested in the latest Jelly Bean ROM of U970 (Nov 29 2012), and the latest updated ICS ROM of Hisense T96 (Sept 2012), here they are:

Greetings Everyone;
I've been searching everywhere for the so much wanted ROM "Ice Cream Sandwich" for Acer Liquid Mini E310 (unfortunly without luck so far).
To all of you that own this device; I'm adding some info, so you can save some time searching for it...
As said somewhere in the web; "the Ice Cream Sandwich will be availiable for every android device; and will probably be; the main Android OS".
The only questions are: Will it be released for ACER devices? Will it be compatible for all ACER smartphones?
Well that is a question to be answered...
I searched Google and ACER website; and so far seems like there are only availiable the Froyo 2.2 and Gingerbread 2.3.
I've sent an e-mail to ACER Suport; asking if "ICS" ("Ice Cream Sandwich") will be released and if it is compatible with this device.
(I'm still waiting for the answer; i will update this thread when i get some news)
Either ways I'm pretty sure that it is compatible; but by some reason that is unknown to me; there are no current running Projects (From ACER or Developers) going on.
If anyone's cooking this ROM; i guess we (Acer Liquid Mini E310 Owners) would be glad to hear about it; and test it.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings everyone;
As promised i'm giving you the info about the ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) ROM; received from ACER Support.
Unfortunly i don't have good news.
Happens that ACER doesn't make the ROM's.
As told by ACER (Translated from Portuguese to English):
"Dear costumer;
We don't have information about that ROM.
Unfortunly we don't test the ROM's; neither verify them (even the ROM/Program Settings); due to it's made from a third party.
We're sorry that we can't give you a feedback."
After searching (Google) i found out that it's not the ACER (or any other Trademark) that develops the ROM; but the 84 consortium firms "Open Handset Alliance (OHA)".
As explained in WikiPedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Handset_Alliance#cite_note-0
The thing is i don't know who is exaclty the ROM Maker for this device.
All i know is that this ROM was originally made for "bigger" Android devices (Like Samsung Galaxy Tab).
Although the info i've got from every here and there on the internet it that; this ROM will be availiable for almost every android device.
Also; (as you can search as well) this ROM is availiable for some Smartphones... But not yet (i wonder why) for this equipment.
According to AndroidMemo; this device is probably ICS Capable; so i guess we have to wait for it.
http://www.androidmemo.com/2011/10/4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-ics-minimum-hardware-requirements-256mb-ram/
Best Regards;
P.S - Admins; i just found that i misplaced this thread. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.
As many of you (owners of a Acer C4 Liquid Mini E310), i'm as well quite disapointed for not having news about the ICS release.
As well as not seeing people helping or giving tips; etc for this device.
Specially here on XDA. (Quite annoying that this device doesn't even appear on the list)
Either ways i'm not complaining or something. I Love XDA Developers. I've learned a lot and will always be faithfull.
Although; (Hope XDA doesn't get mad at me for posting this... ), i found a custom ROM under developing, from MoDaCo.
Remember: before you test it or use it; remember that if you don't have any knowledge in switching ROM's, Testing them; etc... You may get your device bricked.
So proceed on your own will.
For now i'll read the entire thread and see how compatible and usable (for daily use) it is. And only then i'll test it.
Here's the link for the thread and ROM:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/350156-rom-devs-cm9-ice-cream-sandwich-40-to-our-liquid/page__st__300
By the way; if anyone is a developer. I believe they could use some help.
Best Regards;
Sorry, I didn't understand exactly.
An ICS rom couldn't exist ?
Thanks for your work
Hey, I m' one of the owner of Acer e310 ..
Firstly I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3 simply as every one did ..
But M' completely dissatisfied with 2.3 version with its ugly look
since our Mob supports 512 Ram guess we may install ICS ..
Please update with some info .. I am waiting seriously here ..
Thanks

The new link is : http://android.modaco.com/topic/352180-cm9-cyanogenmod-9-for-liquida1liquide/
But it's only for Liquid / Liquid E...
The Liquid E has 512 Mo RAM, maybe someone who doesn't like his Liquid Mini could try to flash it on his phone ?
Forget about ICS.
Unless you are willing to do it your own.
Greetings;
Try this Rom:
Instructions bellow:
- Enter ClockWorkMod Recovery
(or flash a version for your device if you dont have it)
- Download Sherpya Rom and copy the *.zip file to your SDCard.
- Reboot your device under CWM
- Select:
- Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Erase Cache (on the 1st menu)
- Advanced > Mounts and Storage > Format "Boot"; "Cache" and "System".
- Go back to the 1st Menu
- Install *.zip from SDCard
- Select the Sherpya Rom zip file.
- Let it complete.
- Done.
Now you have the best rom ever for that device.
With:
- Custom kernel (ext4 supported)
- Everything Working.
- Already Rooted
Please press thanks if it helped you. This will keep me motivated to help and continue to give support for Acer Liquid Mini e310.

About unlocking there is a specific thread opened , any clue please share:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414377#
First, if this thread should be in general can someone move it pls.
Now to my question. I know that for example the samsung galaxy s has a similar hw as our phones and can have the new kernel, but i never saw a kernel for our phones higher than 2.6. Does anybody know if we can or cant(and why) use the new version cause it has a better security system
Some developers are working on a 3.0 kernel and there are already some threads about that
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
Porting kernel is not a simple task. Fxp team whom currently working on the project to bring kernel 3.x to xperia 2011 gen said it would take atleast six months, or would take forever ie it would never come to our phone.
is it really necessary?
Do we really need kernel 3.0 on our devices?
because I have read here and they say its almost same as old kernel "OR SAME AS OLD KERNEL "

Hi everyone, after seeing a mammoth 6 to 8 new downloads, can anyone give the best advice and experience:
1. Which is their favourite
2. What does not work in 1 above
3. In the most recent versions bluetooth does not work, can we therefore save the relevant libs-etc-files from a working version, and replace them
4. Does anyone still have the old HWMOD overclocked version, to use as base before trying 1 above
5, Although this has been asked before, how can we repartion the ex SDCard successfully on 301.
Unfortunately I cant post on the developer threads, but I do assure you I have read all of them - approx 750 threads including androidiani.
Many thanks and kind regards to all, and moreso to those who can clarify the above!!!!
:highfive:
To add more to the only debate on this issue, Q_ and A.
Ok We have around 201309 10.1 or 10.2 around the same date the CM version , there is a KitKat release and AOKP.
Saw the thread with a lot of replies concerning the CM 10.1 release and " who likes it". B.T. working, HDMI issues etc etc.
However , given that many , posters seemed to appreciate the 10.1 version , nearly all could not post on the developer thread due to min 10 posting restriction.
So here I am again, asking , which of the original ROM´s, and new ICS, JB or KK versions are the most appropriate for this Mediapad 301 as far as anyone has experience.
The last entry on After_Silence V 10.1 General thread, seems to suggest that CM10.1 201309 is probably the best bet so far, however the KitKat or CM10.2 OR Evervolv, may have evolved since then, anyone any ideas.
Furthermore , given that CM10.1 offers /data/media does this mean I can actually use my Ext. sdcard, instead of filling my measly 5GB sdcard
Any help most appreciated, including any other tips on other versions specific to the Mediapad 301xxx

"The G2 Dream Team" (and they well deserve that name) has released not one, but TWO lollipop builds for the LG G2. Both ROMs are based on the same build tree, but one ROM is CM12 and the other is a LiquidSmooth 4.0 ROM. Despite being built from the same build tree, they carry different features. They are stable and usable for daily drivers, but they may carry some bugs, like a non-functional video playback, NFC issues for LS/VS980 but it should all be sorted out in the near future. Head over to the threads to read more!:

An increasing amount of devices have been receiving unofficial Android Lollipop 5.0 ports, like the HTC One M8 and the LG Optimus L9. Today another device can be added to the list of phones receiving a treatment with the taste of Android Lollipop, the LG G2. While there generally has been a wide contribution from the community; testing, sharing files and giving ideas, two XDA members stood out in particular in order to create the build, @ylukasy and @InfinitusDesigner. The port is still in a very early pre-alpha stage, and the bugs are barely known yet, but the ROM boots and has even been rooted! While it might be wisest to wait until an official thread has been made before grabbing your devices and start flashing, @ylukasy has already provided a download link for the ROM, and calls for people to help discover the bugs so that they can be eliminated. Please notice that the ROM might not be stable enough to be used as a daily driver, but owners of a LG G2 are officially an important step closer to having a stable Lollipop ROM!
If this post caught your interest and you're willing to take the risk, head over to the last pages in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/unofficial-cm12-nexus-5-posted-t2936398
As previously mentioned, a lot of things are not sorted out yet, and the build might not be for your device number, so make sure you read the entire thread before continuing, or simply wait untill an official thread is made.
Update:
An official thread has been posted and it can be found by following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-android-lollipop-fast-clean-t2941922
The build is a port of the Nexus 5 ROM, and users of the ROM have been saying that the rom is very fast and fluid, calls work, camera works (although the quality is inferior), but other users have been reporting random reboots and incompatibilities with certain apps such as YouTube or WhatsApp.
by vPro97
This post will be updated regularly when new information regarding Lollipop ports surface.
Fantastic News! Will get round to trying it shortly, thanks for the link!
While I have my doubts about it being functional (or even booting) on my LS980, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
Nice to see things moving at breakneck speeds these days.
On a side note, I just read the AnandTech review of the Nexus 6 and am happy to report that my well over a year old G2 beats it in several benchmarks so I'm pretty satisfied at the moment, especially considering I got it for free. I mean really...
In before "no build for xxxx?!?!?!?"
Anyone know how to port a d802 rom to d800?
Ready to try it out and see what happened..??
his build is from the same source the other was he doesn't deserve credit for it. it's using cm12 kernel and dev claims it's using nexus 5 port yet requires gapps and no signs of any nexus 5 code at all.
Wouldn't it be alot easier to just post the download link here?

It's not my work, and there are some steps which must be followed in order to make it work. I am just objectively informing any news regarding Android Lollipop for the LG G2.
OP has been updated.
The download link was removed before i could get the v3 version so im stuck with v2 and ive been using it as my daily (yeah it reboots every 5 minuets and i can leave wifi on or it will bootloop) But honestly thats the fun in testing this stuff out

Can anyone port the Nexus 5 ROM?
Updating this thread later today if nothing gets in the way.
Hi everybody!!
I need a tester please:
I built pure AOSP for the D802 from sources of Android right now, has anybody time to test it?
It is an experimental build and I didn't test it right now, so I don't know if it is working, please make a backup from your current rom.
The build comes with an built in CWM recovery and should be with root access. It can be flashed with the same instructions like the CM 12 build.
Edit: Bootloop right now ... Anybody, can you take a logcat?
http://builds.hubdroid.com/otherroms/aosp_d802-ota-102.zip
Thank you in advance!! Please anybody who tries it: can you send me a pm?

I'd love to test this for you, but I'm on Sprint LS980 Would you mind making a build for us?

Yes sure, but right now, I have to solve the bug, that the d802 wouldnt boot, so this may take some more time until I build it for other devices too.

I’ll start by admiting that, in the arts of cooking/building/porting android innards, I’m closer to being a complete noob than na intermediate user.
I own a Newman K1S, JB 4.2.2, MT6592, 2Gb/16Gb, 720p, and, sadly for me, it looks like the manufacturer (Newman Mobile, or Newsmy, who knows) pretty much disavows any knowledge of this model ever being built or sold. No reference to it, no community, no android updates or ROM releases.
Taking into account some MediaTek source codes for KitKat were made available earlier this year (even if unofficially), I was wondering:
So, question number 1 – Is it possible to build android 4.4 for my device straight from said sources? Or are they unreliable and it would be best not to attempt it?
And question number 2 – Being at the noob level, should I stay away from such a task? And, in this case, would I be better off porting a 4.4 ROM from a similar spec’ed device?
Also, while browsing needrom, I noticed that a 4.4 “official” ROM was posted for my device. However, having flashed it, I found that it produces no sounds from the external speaker (although with headphones it works fine). Same thing was experienced by other users, and there is no fix so far.
Which takes me to question number 3 – What may I try, in order to fix an issue like this? Does KK use the same sound drivers as JB, and maybe it’s only a matter of replacing them? (if so, I believe this is within my grasp, even if I must unpack the IMG files to reach the drivers)
Lastly, Newman K1S has a severe overheating problem when pushed, which I believe would be easily solved by underclocking it to 1.3 or 1.5, or maybe implementing an optimized kernel.
Final question – How do I manage to underclock with my current kernel, or, better yet, how do I port a custom, optimized kernel to my device?
Congratulations to everyone who managed to read this far, and thank you in advance for any help provided. I’ve spent the last few days reading tutorials and guides, only to become even more confused… I did manage to get android kitchen running on my Windows laptop, though!
Links to recent/updated guides that might be useful are appreciated, too.
