Hi, I have noticed a ton of people curious about why AT&T people do not have ICS yet, so I thought I would answer that once and for all. I admit that I and others have gotten a little mad whenever people ask about this, but it seems they are not able to really find a clear answer, so here it is.
If you feel like this is well done, please sticky it at least until we get it all figured out.
I figure this would be best said i a Q and A type form.
Q: What is ICS, and why does everyone want it so bad?
ICS or "Ice Cream Sandwich" is android version 4.0.x. the next version, 4.1 Jellybean was just released as a slightly less important update, but ICS brought huge changes from Ginger Bread (2.3.x) the previous phone version (3.x HoneyComb was tablet only). ICS brings a slicker, darker, and better looking user interface, as well as many performance enhancements. Most of us want it more because it seems like we should than because it is actually that much better. That said it is still a great update, and most people will be happy to see it.

Q: Why is it so hard to get ICS for our phone, while others have it even though it is not officially out?
The main reason is our locked bootloader. That means it is not possible to flash or boot a custom kernel unless it is signed with Motorola's key. That is obviously impossible.

Q: What is a kernel?
the kernel is a major part of any operating system. you can think of it as a sort of layer between hardware and software. It is the part of an OS that communicates directly with a device's hardware. Android is based off the open source Linux kernel, meaning it is free for anybody to build and modify. However, Motorola has only released the source for the ME865, and partially for the MB865, meaning we can't really build a kernel anyways. Then of course, even if we could build one, we wouldn't be able to boot it with our locked bootloader.
ICS is not really complete without the newer kernel that goes with it

What is Kexec, and is there any way to unlock the bootloader
The fact that I grouped these together would probably lead you to correctly believe they are related. Lets start with the second half. Simply put, NO. I hate to say it, but there is very little hope of EVER unlocking our bootloader, unless Motorola decides to do something like HTC did and allow unlocking.
Kexec is a method of hot switching kernels while still booted. It is actually just a linux tool that you can use on a computer, but it has been built for android essentially allowing you to bypass the bootloader. Theoretically it would be an easy way to run custom kernels. Then why don't we? Well a few reasons. One, we can't really get one built to begin with, especially because, at least to my knowledge, jimbridgman is the only one who actually knows what he is doing with kernel building, and he is only half here now that he got his fany new SGS3. Two, it does not work great. I am not sure the latest version is working at all on our phone, and even if it did, only one processor comes up, meaning it is really slow.

Q: What's the deal with these Droid 3 builds that supposedly boot?
Some people managed to build ICS for the droid 3 based of a 2.3.6 kernel. that means you can boot it on a stock GB kernel, and therefore you do not need to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately that means it is not totally ICS, but it is still pretty good. Of course they are for a cdma phone, so that means no data, no calls, and no gps, making it kind of useless.
I am not going to give a link to them, but if you are really interested go search around. any of the Droid 3 AOKP and CM9 builds will boot just fine. Find more info in the dev section, but please don't start a thread asking about it.
We have been trying to port these to work for us, but that is proving more difficult than expected, and with ICS just around the corner, I don't want to put time into it. I do think it is possible, and if you are a dev looking to give it a shot, PM me and I will tell you all I know, and try to help out as much as I can.

Nice post..
Just one thing to inform about your last question's ans.. DROID 3'S ROMS DONT WORK ON OUR PHONE. IT WILL BOOTLOOP. SO DO NOT TRY FLASHING THEIR AOKP OR CM.. without backups and sufficient knowledge and experience atleast.. some changes have to be made in the rom before flashing.. i am trying to find all the files we must replace to get them working on our phone.. and just a FYI for those of you that wanna try.. other than droid 3, bionic is our nearest relative.. so u can edit and try their roms as well.. i did kinda get cm9 of bionic after replacing some required files.. but it bootlooped.. and of course bionic is cdma.. so.. good luck..

Please I emplore you to do your proper research before making incorrect posts like this. I constantly see posts from those who think they know it all, and post idiotic things like this. Nothing makes me madder than someone who does not know how to use google and the search function.
It takes less than 2 min. to make sure you CYA before posting bad information.
Both CM9 and AOKP boot, but with no radio, as has already been said in several posts now. I have tested both.
P.S. most of us devs in here have been working on this very thing for sometime now, and I have not seen you jump in on any of threads discussing the files or how to port or anything.

Agreed, They actually run extremely well, but obviously I can't stick with them with no radio.
P.S. this is my new best thought for porting, might take some extra build.prop work too. It did not boot for me, but I think we should be able to get it to. Then it is just a question of whether or not the radio will work. there is way more in build.prop on that than I would think.

I think it may work because it really adds the cm9 stuff to our own files rather than add our files to it. maybe not the cleanest way, but it might just work.

I have tried this method along with every idea that popped in my head of things to alter after following this guide. I have a highly modified build prop that AOKP boots with that I replaced with a lot of our build prop but there are still some things missing as no luck yet
Does the new ICS for the att version of the skyrocket have a safe kernal or is it still at risk of having the emmc corrupted?
Update: it seems the brick bug is in the stock ics 4.0.4 , use caution when wiping back to factory. Entropy512 has informed me that the att rom has the mmc_cap_erase command in a host file where rogers does not. I will update as soon as more info becomes available to me.

You are incorrect as from what I understood from your original post you were on a rooted gb rom and flashed back to stock in order to update via kies. 1st off, gb kernels aren't an issue and 2nd, Odin is a safe work around the brick bug issue.
No where in here do u say that u went into the settings on ics and performed a factory reset. That will be the true test
Edit: I revisited your post and see youbdidnt specify gb vs ics but even if u were on ics and went back to stock this wouldn't be a problem through Odin

i will update this when i fix the 2 apks, right now everything works 100% with the exception of backup assistant
Bugs:
-SecMMS.apk was bugging out when deodex and zipaligned so i removed it and added cm9 mms(messaging)
-vmmhux.apk could not be deodexed so i removed it (part of vzw Bloat)
additional download for the removed apks untouched both will have the odex and apk, incase someone can fix them

Just friendly reminder, as you have posted this in Verizon Galaxy S III Original Android Development, in sense you are right that it is dev work for Verizon but what we are trying to do is separate out AOSP/Source builded roms from Stock roms. So as this is stock rom it will belong in regular dev section rather than original one.
I hope u understand this. Not trying to be mean or disrespect but just trying to explain what's the deal here. Thank You

Wtf is the point of original s3 development ans the non original. Honestly its all dev. Is the non original for the dev edition coming out? Its pointless to have 2 threads for aosp and stock.. its still the same phone. Honestly there ahould be a "dev edition" vzw thread if that phone proves to be different and not help this one. People already have a ***** of a time not searching and this will add more confusion.

I have to agree. The SGS3 forum seems fragmented enough with four carriers in development, but there is genuine need for four carriers in development because there are four different radios. Having both a regular and diet development for each carrier is fragmenting things even more. I know I would rather check threads in four fora than eight.
If one really wanted to separate original development from non-original, a simple [ORIGINAL] tag should do it just fine. But in reality, regardless of how you separate the two, there will always be folks wondering why they can't get [ORIGINAL] by kanging someone else's ROM.

I had issues with force closes and reboots after using their OTA Update to Jelly Bean from ICS.
I did a data reset and full wipe and installed JB from scratch, lost root however it is super stable now.

since when was an issue with jellybean or aokp NOT a development discussion i would hardly ask the question in tf300t accesories now would i? So instead of been unhelpfull why dont you go indulge yourself in the forum rules you clearly havnt read them so maybe you should read section 2.1 2.3 and 2.5 of the forum rules i can outline them to you as follows
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

Because it has nothing to do with development...
I have absolutely no freezes on jb my tablet flies literally. you need to have patients read the forum and take things step by step before you complain. Jb isn't the problem . You just need to learn trial and error till you get things going right.

well its a question about downgrading back to ics so i can use aokp type roms if thats not a development discussion regarding using a custom rom which does seem to pretty frequent in this forum but hey maybe its just an illusion but there is no need for rudeness and swearin from a fellow forum member a polite "this is not the correct forum would of sufficed"

Development pertains to roms, not ota and downgrading.
But you're not alone... Most people I know hate the jb ota... Glad I didn't take it and stuck with cm10 instead.
Think some people just need to re-watch the registration video

Unless I'm reading wrong there is no question in your op or title, so it should have been posted in the general forum. Also has nothing to do with development.

You can. You have to flash the ics blob with the pc tool... That will remove the jb rom and bootloader.

You are mistaken. The only way to revert the bootloader back to ICS is with nvflash, and that does not and will never work with the JB bootloader unless Asus or nVidia release it (which they are not going to).
Check out this post in the official CM10 thread.
I've not had one issue with JB OTA, but my Tf300 was updated straight out the box, nothing at all installed on it.
Its now 2 weeks old and I've now unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, install about 50 apps and its still buttery smooth, with no freezes or reboots.

It seems a factory reset (if your device is old) should help things significantly from what I've read.
I was wondering from user preference what is the best custom rom for the skyrocket? I have jellybean and love it but I want to overclock the processor just dont want a OS that's buggy and inconvenient for daily use.
I know there any probably many threads about this just wanted to start my own before I go rom happy
My skyrocket is rooted from ordin and I have twrp recovery.
I have never actually flashed a rom on a android just rooted several. I am getting the gs4 next week just want to have a little fun with my skyrocket in the meanwhile.
Thanks.
mod please move
didnt mean to post a question in this section, my bad.
No best rom threads are allowed! If you want to go flash happy before you get your S4 try them all out pick the one best for you.

Only you can decide what ROM is best for you. Do your research, read the threads (take the time and read the whole thread!) And make your own choice.

Dude really...
if you read my stickies you would have seen the those questions aren't allowed, its a forum/mod rule and will be eventually locked
my suggestion is to read the stickies before you start flashing away as its obvious you haven't
from the sticky "read this b4 posting", its a post above your post
28) Q. which rom is the "BEST" rom or any adjective thereof for a rom
A. do not ask as it will be locked by the mod, read about them in the dev forum and decide on your own

I started flashing more than one month ago and I started with the most popular (threads with a lot of posts) / recent ones.
Backuping and restoring is so easy with TWRP. So, keep your prefered ones as backups and make a choice!
If you to overclock, check the OP, it's always mentionned.
Good luck. And read
As mentioned, you really need to try them.
But I understand why you are asking as for the less technically competent user (i.e. me) its hard to easily flash and switch, and its hard to really gauge all the differences.
I do think its personal and depends on what you are looking for.
I can tell you for me I have tried a few and settled on Embryo. Its very stable for me, and with others I found myself having to do a level of troubleshooting and diagnosis that, while easy for others, was hard for me. And so that wasnt a good tradeoff for me. I wanted something stable and easy to tweak and use, even if its at the expense of slightly slower performance, etc. But thats a very personal decision, and everyones results vary depending on their phone, apps, usage, etc.
Thats why people are so reluctant to answer these questions - they arent trying to be difficult!
Good explanation. People aren't trying to be difficult, just tired of answering this question.
