Motorola Possible update on ICS position

I have been checking their tweeter and their page wich is called Android 4.0 ice cream sandwich / the officila motorola blog...... ok the point is that they have been saying that they will soon add more news on ICS support for other devices. Guess What !!!! that page is changing and the previous info is gone, the only remains are the comments. I hope this means they are uploading the new info and support fo the atrix 2 will be confirmed

YAY! Good news!
I wish they said: "Meh... we decided to unlock bootloaders once and for ever"

Just keep checking through cheesecake, to get some "leaked" alpha/beta versions that way... Stop depending on Moto to get you an official anything, look how long it took them to fix all the issues with 2.3.5 when the bionic already had it for several months, and the razr which was released one month after our phone was released with 2.3.7. It is real important to check ALL servers at least once daily, EVERYONE needs to do this, to catch these updates, as they do not stay up very long... once we have that, then lfaber06 and I can work our magic on it, and get us some "stable" ICS leaked ROMs.
Also don't install anything from cheesecake, just post it someplace and let lfaber06 and I know, where we can grab it, and pull it apart.

Okay Jim i will be glad to help, i am new in this android stuff and currently waiting my unlocked atrix 2 as i live in Colombia and need the bands opened. Once i get my baby i´ll gladly help to get some alpha or beta ICS with the cheesecake method.
As I´m a newbie i´ll have to read and instruct myself in android before trying anything in my phone.

There is a ton of info in here.... I have been one of about 15 or so pioneers of this phone, and one of our first devs in here, so we are all here to help you.
For information on cheesecake, take a look at this:

Okay i have been reading as i said. its really the A2 that bad without a Custom Rom?, should i flash the custom ROM immediatly or is the stock worth a try?

If you're looking for pre-tweaked build.props, overclock, a little bit more customization, and/or debloat, go custom. Nothing wrong with stock though, imo. I have stock 2.3.6 rooted, uninstalled the bloat, flashed a themed systemui, and use GoLauncher. Works fine, great battery life and performance.

The current ROMs are all based off of stock right now, so just try out the bone stock for a while and see what you think... since I do so much dev work, I am always working on and testing some new ROM, so I am not a good basis.

CM10 or Jelly bean port for Galaxy s 4g

There is already a jelly bean port for the galaxy s (not galaxy s 4g). From there, can someone port it to the galaxy s 4g plz? Will it happen anytime soon? Because even though i like ics, the android lag is still there. I really want project butter

For the ninetieth time, there currently is no jelly bean for our phone. If you would've searched for jellybean in our forums you would see about 6 or 7 closed thread relating to jellybean. We only have 1 or 2 kernel devs trying to get us a perfect ICS at the moment, once that happens we may or may not see jellybean. If you have to have jellybean, buy a nexus, period.

That definitely is NOT the case. They most likely have a ton on devs, at least 5, working on this 24/7. As I said, we have one main dev working on this and maybe 2 devs doing various other things besides this. They must also receive lots of monetary donations because their users aren't mostly kids like ours. And fyi, our main kernel dev also has a life that's not devoted to satisfying us.

If you want jelly bean so bad for our phone, learn how to code and develop. Doesn't matter if you want it soon or now, there's nothing you can do. Our developers work hard each time they make something for the sgs4g community and I'm grateful for the work they do. Were even lucky to even have developers working on custom roms.

Yes its a sure shot not a possibility. You just have to be patient. Bhundven is working on something for ICS to make it easier for developers to do stuff.
And once that's done he said jelly bean will just come naturally.

need help installing new roms

Okay I see all these rooms I like I have cm recovery 5.0.2.7 and I need a jelly bean or ice cream sandwich from to flash it and everyone I try just says failed . So can some give me a from that's self explanitory and easy to install for my Samsung infuse

OK..first step
Reading the OP of the ROM you want to try.. follow from there..
Really though.. a little more info would be helpful..
What version are you currently on, rooted, know how to restore a soft brick if need be, bank and routing number, etc..
Its powered by Jellybeaned AOKP!

I'm running Miui 2.1 I believe . And it is rooted .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658725 this is the one I want but I need step by step on how to do it witith what I have now

now i am not the most experienced on here and there is a lot that i am not sure how to do, but i have managed to get myself out of some tight spots before. maybe i am not the person for advice, but then again maybe someone with same experience level is not such a bad idea.
three things i look for....
1. the past- how old is the ROM you are looking at? if its too old, you may not have the support.
2. the present- even if you decide on an older ROM, i go to the last page and start reading backwards. this gives me an idea as to the most recent problems that exist and whether or not they are getting fixed.
3. the future- there is a lot of new development going on with ICS and now Jelly Bean. these operating systems may be the present for some other phones, but it is the future for the Infuse. some amazing young minds who are pulling off some rapid development.
for me, if the OP seems a little too complicated for me, i dont bother. cant go wrong with the Super Everything Thread.
i personally have not used MIUI, simply because the directions were, lets say, a little iffy for me.
i have had a lot of luck with anything Paranoid Android, CM10, YumaPorn and now the Cypher ROM. there are some other GB based ROMS too and all these you seem to get great support with.
so good luck, to me its like buying a car, first thing you need to figure out is what you are looking to get out of it and does it have the options you want.
i hope i was of some help and made some sense

Since it looks like you want to go to a JellyBean rom, and you're on Froyo or Gingerbread (Not sure which MIUI 2.1 used...), then perhaps these steps will help you:
How To Flash JB
CWM 5.x comes in JB, I believe... Its the Blue CWM that gives you the "rainbow" distortion if you don't have GB Bootloaders...

Make sure that you are downloading all files needed and following all the instructions one by one and if you cant do it for any reason dont risk it. heres a good jb rom that i am running.

[Q] Question about rooting my phone

Ok soo I am thinking about rooting my Sony Ericsson and I wanted too know if it's worth it or not.. I know there are alot of great apps that you can get.. but I heard that you can get free 3g when you root you're device, is this true? and also I wanna know if I shouldn't root my phone and just not take the risk..
I also have a problem with the phone typing by itself sometimes and I have to restart it a few times and it quits and goes back to normal.. any help on this?

lol.. u won't get free 3g after rooting..someone trolled you!!
rooting will void ur software warranty of phone!
But it has it's own advantages, u could use custom rom and save battery, RAM through tweaks!
you could get hardware acceleration via Cyanogenmod and play certain games which are not compatible with ur phone!
Find ur device forum for more details! Just use search bar on the top right corner!
as for ur problem, dust and moisture can cause this..remove screen protector and wipe the screen and apply new protector
if problem persists, show it to service if u are under warranty!

My advice is always the same.
Find a reason to root your device before just doing it.
A custom recovery can be nice, but do you really need one ?
Custom ROMs can be nice, but do you want to take the risks they come with ? Just scroll through these forums and see all the posts about people who have bricked their devices - even people who had good experience and knew what they were doing. Sometimes things go wrong - are you willing to pay to have your device repaired if you brick it ?
Rooting alone opens you up to some security risks - so there's really no point in rooting unless you have a plan about what you want to do with it and understand the risks and what you can do to make sure you don't do something bad.
Yeah, these things can do some cool stuff - and if you would like it it can be worth it. But if you don't really care, it's not.
Do some research. Decide what you want to do.

I rooted my Desire for two reasons: 1 To upgrade to ICS
2 To run many apps without
filling up my internal memory. I'm really happy with the result and
if i find support for Android 5.0 in the future i'll go for it.
If you use it as a phone only don't risk it.

I have another question.. If I root my phone.. will I get the latest updates? Cause my phone only has 2.3.3 and I see alot of people will 4.0 and I was wondering if I do root it .. is it possible to get 4.0 or greater than 2.3.3?
and thanks for helping me

Okay, there are two kinds of "updates". You can still get OTA carrier updates with root only, but you may lose root in doing so.
Then there are custom ROMs. I have no idea if an ICS ROM is available for your phone - Google it or search the forum and see. Beware that these typically do not work 100% perfectly. If there is a custom ROM depends in if someone put the time into making it or not.

If you root your phone you won't have to worry about updates from your carrier, nor will you want it. All you will do is keep up with the thread of the ROM of your choice and see if the developer has updated the ROM. As far as getting a certain version of Android for your phone it's all entirely on the phone you have. Look around for a forum for your specific device and check their development section to see what ROMs they have available for you.

rom!?!

hello I needed to post this in this forum because I am new. I need a couple of files if this is okay with you guys.

Sure, and I will tell you more - I still consider myself a newbie. I admit it, and it doesnt offend me. I will never know, or be able to do a fraction of what some people here are capable of, and I am grateful for all this knowledge being shared with everyone. I still try my best to contribute to the community in some ways I can (being just a user, not a dev in any capacity). I dare you: search my posts on XDA, and if you find something as ridiculous as this request, I will publically apologize for being a hypocritic jerk. You already responded to the OP, and his reaction was, basically: "blah, blah, I don't get any of that **** you are talking about, and I don't care, anyway, just give me files, dude". In my books, this is ignorance AND arrogance.
Oh well, enough ranting, anyway...
