[INFO] Why we don't have ICS yet + more info about it

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

all it is for now is the droid 3 aokp and ics builds with modified build.props, just trying to get things out here. Dorid 4 and RAZR builds don't wan't to work for me, I have not tried bionic yet. the droid 3 aokp that I used in my most recent build will not boot, but that may be my fault with the mods, but other ones have worked. known issues so far are no sdcard in cm9, no wifi in cm9, and duh, no radio anwhere.

I'm Game!
I'll try it:cyclops:!

Anyone can feel free to download any builds I put up here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Motorola_ATRIX_2_Developers/lkrasner/ (in subfolders mostly, so look around as I add more.)
Do not expect them to even boot, and it is not even remotely my problem if something goes wrong with them. make sure you know how to fxz back. Right now CM9 boots, but I do not think AOKP does, you can give it a shot though. Please hold off on bug reports for now, or PM them to me, as I will set up a thread in the dev section later or tomorrow.

*Data tends to cut off at times. A "hot-reboot" usually fixes it and this is due to audio not working.
*Phone will not enter 'Sleep Mode', again due to audio malfunctioning.
*Mobile Data Network: Data IS working, but you might need to cause the phone to hot-reboot (...easiest way is by connecting to non-encrypted network, which in turn usually fails.) It's due to a SIM-card thing...
*On cold-boot the SIM card status is not correct.

EAGLESBLOOD™ ROM INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
========================================
**IMPORTANT** MUST READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW COMPLETELY.
1. Make a full backup of your current ROM. Then copy it over to PC if you wish.
2. Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM). *Note* You should always flash CWM using a USB Cable and NVflash; do not 'flash CWM from the ROM Manager app'.
3. To begin start by clicking "Wipe User Data/Factory Reset", this will wipe all data off of the phone's memory (not SD card though).
4. Now click "Wipe cache partition".
5. Then go down to "Advanced > Wipe Dalvik cache".
6. Choose Install zip from "External SD Card". Wait for that to complete and confirm you see an "Installation Complete" message.
7. Now, you must flash the correct Google Apps - GAPPS JB (gapps-2012xxxx.zip) ...link below.
Once the gapps are installed you can now click "Reboot System". Failing to complete all of these instructions precisely can potentially leave you stuck in CWM Recovery until you manage to build your way back out. This is not fun, trust us.
9. Done. Enjoy your new ROM!

But I think Nexus got the official update from Samsung.
In our case however, we can hardly expect ICS from LG let alone JB.
So I do hope once we have ICS (fingers crossed) the devs here would be able to make a fully functional JB out of it.
The reason I am asking it because the recently we saw the Google now app ported to ICS but they couldn't get the talk back to work, as I read somewhere it was JB kernel specific.

I was getting scared about 4.1 Jelly Bean! With no word from Ricardo but ah you're doing well it looks great!
Do the camera's work? No mention of camera's and the HAL has had alot of work since 4.0.x just interested be good to know, since I'm not flashing until the other major bugs are gone.
Also I don't see why Wi-Fi calling isn't an extra flashable zip I always have to uninstall it as its no use to me.
BTW when you get to your releases that are for me at least very heavily skinned will there be a way to de-skin it cause that's what puts me off about eagles blood and Hellfire roms .....
Finally will I be able to use my internal storage as an SD card at some point since my SD card reader is physically broken so otherwise my phones crippled without that ability
Cheers sorry for the moaning just questions

Thank you EB. No camera no WiFi no audio no Google search and no SD card detection. Lightning fast

Also, I talked to Ricardo earlier at length and he now says lg is having problems with Nvidia, what I mean by this is that lg is experiencing the same thing we are. They are ready and wanting to release ics and drivers, but Nvidia is being Nvidia. We might not get drivers after all.

So now lets get back on topic and stop flaming, I had to spend another 15min cleaning up this mess rather than sleeping, so thanks for that.

WIP CM 10.1 ALPHA 4.2.1 Unofficial

This is an Alpha build of CM10.1 for the Blaze... Want to give a big thanks to jeffakajeff over in the S2 forums. He gave me the info needed to get this going...
Working:
WiFi
Not Working:
Everything else...
This is a very alpha stage build for those wanting to help out and get this going for our device. NOT A DAILY DRIVER
Thanks of course to CyanogenMod for source
my github: https://github.com/Racing1
ROM DOWNLOAD: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cm101blaze4g/files/latest/download

Here we come...
Been running since posted make sure if testing to install the newest gapps 12-12. As the op mentions a lot is broken hence alpha.If possible please post logcats.

Got the adb working. I'll play around with getting you some log cats tonight, going to bed. Gotta be up in 2 hrs...

sorry about that jbats. Been busy... adb works if you tap about in settings a few times to get developer options. I ran some logcats and found some issues. I am working on them now. will hopefully have a new build by the end of the day with some fixes in it.. thanks for the help and logcats are our friend...

Come this weekend I might be able to be a Guinea pig if you need one lol. Running pa right now and I'm about ready to refresh my system :3

so, I just ran a new build with the new configuration they are using in the skyrocket and hercules forums... Good news it ran a complete build with no errors.. bad news... won't even boot... back to the drawing board the see what I missed...

Hey racing I've been asked by people of rocket and herc to help out I think I can solve data issue so if u can link me to ur repos where u have anything booting I'll give it a shot this week and get you data or at least signal if its not working

Running a new build with a different configuration right now.. will post the outcome. Ran a build with my old settings last night and that boots and runs but android.com.phone fc's all the time and can't get anywhere without removing phone.apk. remove phone.apk and rom runs smooth. wifi works but no data or much of anything else.

I Can't Wait For This To Come Out... I Flashed It And Was So Excited That It Booted

No estimate on when the actual (non-alpha) ROM will be released? I am anxious to try this ROM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda premium

As an off-topic question would any of you devs know if there is a compile flag to enable tasks/notes in Exchange Services or some way to enable it? Best answer I have found searching this is that the phones that do support it only have it because it was provided as a feature by HTC/Motorola.

Can't wait. Thanks for all of your hard work as devs to bring our phones the rom experiences that we may not get to have for our phones. like my phone may never get the jb experience or any other future android os's that may be released in the future but you guys make those experiences for my blaze 4g possible. thanks sooooooo much. your hard work is very much appreciated.:good:

So looking forward to 4.2.1! I have the utmost faith in you devs! When this is running, straight awesome...
Sent from ParanoidAndroid Blaze using xda Premium

I would really like to help if I can, would it be useful for you devs if I flashed and messed around for a little bit while recording a logcat? If so, I would be happy to spend some time without a usable phone to get that to you tonight
You guys are the best

No, altered said in the PA thread that he was working on aospa, so... That is what A2trip was pointing out, with his screen shot that he included in his post.
Also this has been asked and answered so many times now. AOKP will most likely not come to this phone, but there is CM10 and CM10.1 if those ever become bug free then maybe, but I would highly doubt it.

I translated it and it has unknown baseband..unusable screenshot..not sure about wifi or how well it performs.
[Translated] aokp team on Android 4.2 source code to add a more detailed degrees of freedom. Now on the customized version 4.1 aokp have been greatly improved. The degree of freedom of ultra-high. As long as you set. Tourists, if you want to see this post please reply hidden content.
Ah ado, gave stick to 865att classmates. Opening soon, gave 865 a hope, a new beginning. Transplanted from 910 aokp. Thank the original author (amount, embarrassed, xda, forgot the name) with the tears brother cm10 the build.prop and private libraries. So, in a phone that will have some shows unknown, however, what is not to affect the rest assured that thanks to the support and encouragement of my tears brother has been. Thanks att holder.
The amount of school tomorrow. Time is very tight. Schools do not give a freshman Internet. . . . . . . . . . . . . Too pit so many things to stop. I hope we do not think, I really do not have time to Kazakhstan. Before I left, left, give us a hope. 865 worth in hand, rest assured. rom will not pass. Should be nobody brush. Baseband version is not known, the communication could not do. Bluetooth wifi available. The cm10 screenshot bug camera temporarily start can not.

This is a WIP AOKP 4.2.2 ported from XDA Razr XT910 using CM10 build props from Wang.
No files was posted for downloading.

So what exactly are the bugs with this rom?
Bugs similar to that of CM10?
