they relese a public alpha kernel
i think its a start for us too

The kernel included with 4.1.2 AOKP by th3bill has nearly the same features (except video recording, since we can't use atrix drivers).
I am watching that thread everyday as well. I hope th3bill is actually able and willing to do something about it once the kernel reaches a stable state.

Not so fast. The kernel is known as Alpha Release Candidate 1 (Alpha-RC1). It has only been released from the devs to a select few testers. An official public release has NOT happened.

The Photon and Atrix seem to be extremely similar hardware-wise... what changes would need to be made to the Atrix 3.1 kernel source to make this functional for Photon? From what I can tell, the camera, fingerprint scanner, and radio are the differences...
so...............
Krystian has already stated that he will work on porting the atrix kernel over to the photon once it is stable enough

Hi guys,
I wanted to do that later but it looks like it will take me some more time to finish Olympus kernel. So I decided to start port for Photon. Since I don't own Photon device, I need couple of volunteers who are willing to break their phones. Also I would need someone who would manage bug tracking and possible hardware differences. I can barely track what's going on Atrix threads, so I need someone as a proxy, who would report me how the things are going. I'm looking for someone who can be considered at least advanced user with a lot of spare time. Also regarding potential testers, I'm sure there are different Photon revisions, so it would be the best if there was a one tester for each rev.
Regards,
Krystian

Is the current work using the new open source tegra driver?
If that's the case, I would think it would be almost necessary to skip ICS & JB.

Agreed Leo and Scott are doing a great job at developing cm7/MIUI to work on a tablet as best it can.. But it is almost a lost cause since ics is already on a lot of devices....
I'm sure modifying a kanged ROM is a lot easier than making a port/SDK ROM as a lot of the drivers have to be made from scratch... I've given up on android on the TP till ICS. When that happens ill donate a handsome reward to the team that does it.. till then... WebOS will have to do... As I only use it for media/web I'm good for now... I have a EVO 3d for apps and such that android excels in...

Hi dear devs,
kholk posted what seems to be an official leaked ROM for the Motorola RAZR (GSM Version).
I was wondering if can be useful for your work... I'm not capable of such a great work so... here is the download link for the ROM.
Many tanks to kholk and Motorola!
Obviously
DON'T FLASH IT IN YOUR MOTOROLA PHOTON/ELECTRIFY!
THIS IS FOR THE MOTOROLA RAZR (EU/ASIAN) ONLY.
I think what we need is an updated kernel for a tegra processor. I'm not sure that we can do much without that. But what do I know?
What we need is the source.
Source, tegra support, and ics kernel
I'm a MoPho-er
honetsly i wouldnt really bother with this. assuming you got the rom to boot youd still need a host of hardware changes with the kernel. and thats just to get it to work 100% on our phone like it does theirs (from what i understand its a rather buggy/busted release for them.
i hope everyone is looking at the big picture tho.. so long after ics source, and they are only this far in their flagship phone... settle on in folks its gunna be a while for ics blur for us
Thanks for your replies!
I think Shabby is right but I saw this rom as a hope because with Vanilla ICS or CM9 it's impossible to have ICS+Webtop ...
However, if somebody is going to try the impossible, I'll be glad to help or test

The Atrix will likely not get an official CM9 build until/unless ICS for the Atrix (containing the necessary binary drivers, which are proprietary) is released. The unofficial ports have to make do without them, cannibalizing code and parts from other phones in order to make it work, which is why they still have stability issues (though they do work most of the time). When ICS is released (yes, I said when; unlike others, I have faith that it will be), we'll likely see a flurry of CM9 development from the Atrix Dev Team.
OK cool. I've read that it's gonna be Q3. Which is sometime between now and September, correct?

cm9 update
I recently flashed my first rom with cm9 6.0.9.1. I am very pleased with the look, feel and functionality of this ROM. Congrats to jokersax and all who had a hand in this. As I am new at this I have one question. If I try to upgrade to 0.7.0.0 will I need to wipe or can I just flash it. I installed the gapps separately and did not wipe and it worked fine. I do remember reading somewhere during my search for knowledge on this subject that for small updates you don't need to wipe. Not sure how reliable tha info is. Just want to make sure before I end up with a paper weight.

Yes, the JB and ICS kernel are the same, we have to wait for the developers to get us a working build of JB.
thank you for replying with this information. and thanks to all the developers for building the roms.
I looking at my magic 8 ball and it says a JB ROM is most likely in the distant future.
I have never built a room, but i would think this would take a lot less time then ice cream sandwich, especially if its the same kernels and radios. Now undoubtedly if we get official jellybean it'd use newer kernels then we have now. And since we can use the same radios and kernels, i would think the locked bootloader wouldn't be an issue. Bit I'm a newb and could be wrong.

You're right in one aspect I think, it won't take as long as ICS did, but still, the source is under 24 hours old, I would give them at least a few days, if not a week or two to get a good ROM built...

Ah ok. Well, yes. I don't think it'll take as long as it did with ICS, but then again, you never know.. There could be some major hiccup along the way and delay it, or it could be done by tomorrow.. I'm hoping for the second one in that But we'll see
Personally, I think that we won't see Jelly Bean from Motorola, if we get it, will be thanks to the dev community...
i read somewhere on a XDA port for galaxy nexus i think. That JB is almost the same as ICS but it need a modification in ramdisk to work, unless what it wont boot.
So without an unlocked bootloader and/or KEXEC we're done
I am trying to get my head around porting ROMs...but my severe lack of knowledge has been a roadblock so far. If someone can and want to join hands in this venture, they are more than welcome...PM me with the details and we will take it forward...
Always remember, great things have small beginnings.

In the same situation. It's looking like a good deal of work and might be a task I just simply don't have the skill for at this point. Still, I really want to have a useful old phone. Gingerbread makes me sad. Jelly Bean is just a resource hog. I've always wanted to learn a little more about the ROM build process and this might be a decent way to do it.

Should anyone decide to take on this herculean task, I'll be more than happy to be a test bunny. My X2 is presently a glorified paperweight.

I have a Milestone X2 running under the ACS Alaska carrier. My device is rooted and I've used every ROM that Larson Thorpe has put in his MX2 collection. The ICS and JB roms did work, but had too many issues/crashes/reboots/etc so I just stuck with Eclipse 2.3 which is based on Gingerbread.
This phone is just... hard to deal with sometimes, and we all know it's mostly due to the amount of RAM. KitKat seems to take care of a ton of memory issues in Android (tested on my N7.) People have said that KitKat won't actually improve older devices by much, but any improvement would be amazing!
I'm totally down to fully test any builds anyone comes up with. I wish I could help build/develop for this phone, but I'm a web developer and have absolutely no skill with ROM building or kernels or anything like that.
Here's to hoping!
I can get everything set up and running (as in, ready to compile) but the compile errors are truly a mess to debug.
Is anyone willing to make a "how to" thread that describes how to make a basic rom, specific to this phone?
I think enough people are still interested, but I think we'd get further if we helped to educate each other.

Well, actually, you can have CM compile around a pre-compiled kernel (what we have) but there's more to it than that.
One, we already have graphics issues...and KitKat forces you to have newer drivers or else you get black artifacting
This is due to OpenGL 3 not being supported by the vendor blobs
Our blobs don't even have ICS support...
Another nightmare is, yes, getting CM to take the precompiled kernel
If I got my hands on the source that the cm10.1 rom is based off of, we could start work
I would aim to start with 10.2, then maybe add in cm11 features but keep the old system
It would make things easier, keep radios, wifi, storage and display working...hopefully
Also, being as I'm on cm10, could anyone link me the patched recovery?
