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.

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.

Hi,
Is there any person or developer who can port CyanogenMod Rom on our Defy?
Or do you guys have any idea regarding this? How can we attract the attention to any developers towards our Defy?
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/screenshots
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/
CyanogenMod Rom works on Droid. So That should work on our Defy as well.
Looking forward to hear your ideas guys......
We need a recovery first
How can we get that recovery?
Wait for it to be sorted - it will come, just got to be patient
What does it really mean that we need recovery and why? Please explain in a way that a noob can get it.or diect me to a place to read thanks!
Bcs recovery is needed to get the modded ROM onto the DEFY!
You need to replace/modify allot of things and this is not as easy as getting a non market app onto your mobile
And i guess there are much more people looking for a 2.2 or perhaps 2.3 then waitin for a CyanogenMod Rom!?

The modded recovery is out... Please Cyanogen make a miracle...!
my main phone is a G2, and have yet to run a CM rom, I'm, more then happy with what we have so far for the Defy, and thanks everyone efforts, if someone ports an OEm Sense Rom over this way well that's another story lol
You know what I am with the guy above. Im loving what I got so far. And in the new year I will probably do my own custom rom. I am not in any rush to get 2.2 at the moment, and im getting an android tablet today so hack time is being diverted to that
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
HI, how can we do that?
I would like to help all to get a working custom rom.
But where can i get the information?
No idea how i can create a own rom.
What is about the driver, firmware etc?
How can i cook a rom.
On several websites there a only manuels about HTC roms, and online kitchen.
But no with motorola sets.
Please help a send information how.
THANKS!!

Google, you need to be prepare to read - alot.
Everything I have learnt is from googling - all the various android forums.
Hi, i asked google a lot, but can´t find a realy gooo anser what excatly todo.
I can compile my own rom from source, but what is with driver?Firmware?
How i implement this?
Is the bootloader locked the same way as it is on milestone, droid x and droid 2? Or is it hack friendly and we can load any custom kernel?
I missed this thread before.
I would love to see CM's rom on the Defy. In fact I would have no problem donating to the individual who makes it happen
no way!
No one wants to hack the defy!
Would easy i guess for a realy hacker.
But no one do it.
All want to give motorola devices back or won´t buy it.

Very different phone dude, you can find a new defy for 290€, seems the Lg Optimus 2x will be around 550€ ... that's really expensive
Not true. Several people already have.

And ofcourse, if you find yourself in any situation where your phone might get wet or dropped, there's no point in comparing them.
Until froyo(kernel) is released by motorola, we can "only" have a CM5 port for the defy.
It would be great trying froyo kernel without any modules and having them replaced by DEFY ones... Doing that we would know if motorola uses the same key for all the androids
Got my Xoom tablet back after the whole Motorola LTE upgrade. Looking to root and put on a nice custom ROM. But I'm afraid that the current ROMs may not work with 4G, and keep me at 3G.
Do any of the current ROMs work? Or do I have to wait for one based off Android 3.2.2?
I know there's a stock 3.2.2 ROM, but I wanted to finally be able to use my OTG cable.
dont do it... i'm still trying to get my 3g/4g/wifi back right now... so many issues in doing so... wait for a stable release
That's what I wanted to know before doing this. Thanks a bunch. Hopefully the devs will have something good for us soon.

lol. more importantly, i hope the devs figure out how to fix my screw up... i dont wanna use up another warranty claim.
I have rooted my Xoom after received it back from Motorola but i have not find a nice custom rom yet, if anyone find one please report back.
Thanks a lot
I think a lot of the devs are holding off and waiting on ICS to be released, at least I know that's what they're doing with the Tiamat ROM.
So I am fed up with T-Mobile and Samsung not releasing a ics update for this phone. I wan't to try the new features like facelock and android beam ( really helpful). Well can we start from scratch also is there a guide to do that? It would be really awesome if someone posted a link for it.
Well I'm not sure what you are asking but are you saying if we can do a ICS kernel without source? Yes it's possible if we use the s2 source but with heavy modifications to run on our phone. Doubt there is a guide for it anywhere, though if you have an understanding of Linux kernels and a few languages like C, C++ and Java you can help us get there.
Another way we can get cm9 or any ics varient we can modify our current 2.6.35.11+ kernel to make it run cm9.
I suggest or rather think the easiest way is the waiting way because by the time you or I or anyone gets anything close to a working build the source will drop. This would be a good idea if the blaze wasn't getting ICS at all but it is.
So for now lets enjoy GB a little more I got a rom update uploading and dwitherell is also updating his awesome rom
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
Okay still love the darknight rom although holo launcher gets somewhat laggy sometimes.. but is there a guide for modifying the kernel to create cm9? any help would be appreciated.

Well i just release build8 and no more holo launcher
As for a guide, there isn't one. There's guides on how to make your own kernel from the source drop and the initramfs from a stock rom but to modify the 2.6.35.11(gb) kernel to work with cm9/ics takes a lot of work and a lot of backporting and unfortunately every kernel is different as every phone is which is why no guide is ever accurate. Honestly, the best way to contribute is learn a few languages and start learning slowly. Unless, of course, you have knowledge on linux kernels then that'd be awesome
Either way i started a channel on irc #teamfah-q. That is where team fah-q(merwin, flyers00, thomas.raines, and myself) hangs out and shares ideas with each other and talk about changes and we do drop leaks to our builds and mods and the such. Join us on the channel.

I tried exactly this once... and let me tell you, it's REALLY difficult. I started with a T989 kernel and after months of work, still had a non-booting kernel.
I'm starting again, but moving much slower since I have an S3 now. I'm also trying to get a "console" on the device so I can see if the thing is actually booting at all.
Joy.
Good luck if you want to start in on this, I wish you the best
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.

Yes I have looked everywhere. I got my phone and after the security update. Well it's rooted wooh! But no unlocked bootloader and honestly not looking like it/kinda nor do I want to unlock it. So does anyone have any safestrap ROMS I could look at? I really like PAC-man but does not load... so yeah any suggestions? Even cm10.1 or cm10.2

You'll need to use SafeStrap to run a ROM. With that being said, you're going to run into very few ROMs that are SS compatible. CM10.1 supposedly is comptible with SS, but I haven't found proof of that anywhere. 10.2 won't work with SS. There is a way to make ROMs work with SS, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet, atleast they haven't posted it anyway. There are a couple of stock based ROMs that have been posted lately that are reported to boot on SS. For others, you'll need to search for ROMs that were built prior to our bootloader being unlocked in April. However, if you run one of these versions, know that they are based off of 4.1.1 or the previous 4.1.2 and you might run into kernel issues.
Thank you
Thank you for the information. I'm hoping at some point there is a way to make a ROM SS compatible. Anyways if you run across any please if you wouldn't mind sending me the link to any of the SS roms you find. I'm sorry i've looked all day just haven't seemed to have found one sadly... And i'm primarily looking for 4.2+. Thanks in advance!

I can almost guarantee you won't find 4.2 or 4.3. Supposedly, to get ROM to boot on SS, it's just as simple as unpacking it and removing the boot.img then re-packing it, but I'm not really sure. For current comptible ROMs, you'll have to dig around on here and Droidrzr.com.
