ICS on the Defy+? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is ICS likely to be available on the Defy+? I'm thinking of buying one, but would like to know first.
Cheers

Google said, that all devices with stock Gingerbread, should got ICS ... but who knows ... I hope so. But I guess, it should have - Moto is part of Google, so why not.

Of course moto got bought by Google. But this doesn't mean Google will get involved to the politics of moto. I hope you'll understand what I'm triying to say xD.

Hey thats cool

That is definitely not confirmation of any sorts, keep in mind! They might even decide developing ICS for Defy/+ isn't worth their time etc...

incremental ics update xoom project

Here is a link to the ics update for the motorola xoom.
I have no idea if this is of any use to our developers but just thought it might in some way speed up the development of a fully working a500 ics custom rom.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-tervigon-IML77-from-HTK75D.71a21bfe.zip
there are already roms (or at least a rom) working fully except for the camera. Unless it has acer camera files, i doubt the xoom code will help much.

Ics, Thors roms and tegra owners

Am I the only one who would just love to see a community based repo for ICS on the Iconia, all GPL compliant?
I know it's not on Xda but just wanted to thank u guys for mentioning the ICS rom for the a500. It is by far the smoothest/fastest rom I've flashed on my a500. I'm just blown away at how great it runs. I could care less about the few things that need fixed. I'm now loving my Iconia. Thanks again.
Not correct

No, he's got a ICS rom (Android 4.0). I'm running it right now and it's amazing. The best rom I've ever ran on my Iconia.
Yes he does have it I had 40 running for a bit but SPB shell doesn't run along with a handful of other apps I have bought ill wait till app developers get the kinks out..
He's been working on it since October I think so its pretty good Cam and vpn don't work as of now we need Acer to release alot to get everything the way it should be...

And you owe me personally, about well, a lot of beers. And not just any beer mind you, but I like really expensive beer
In fact, if one would calculate 12 beers per day @.5L per beer since the time he got HW Accel working, No green screens, and 85% of all functions working, you owe me about 457 beers, give or take. But I'm not greedy. I'll settle for an even 400 x.5L.
The Pure ICS rom 4.x, runs damn good. Only 3 or 4 things left. Most people are using it as a daily driver.
But now, "Iced" cube, if you don't come through with your wager, on open terms as you set, Well... that would be considered "welching" on a bet.
Welp, there goes my weekly wage...
I did say "a beer", not "a few beers"
'tis all good, i'll drop some money in the tin.
That aside.... Time to flash the ROM, then!

An Acer Iconia A500 and an SD card. :-D
I'm using it while I type this, it's the best my Iconia has ever been, I can live with no camera for now.....
I don't get this...
When I attempt to flash this ROM (the one in the first post) to my Iconia, I get the following error:
assert failed: file_grep_prop("/system/build.prop","ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/tervigon/wingray:3.2.1/HTK75D/190830:user/release_keys [...]"
Is there a work around?

Youre flashing a xoom rom? That might be the problem. There is an ics build mostly functional for our device a few pages in to the dev forum (where we are) or you can google thor and try his which afaik is just lacking camera and rotation lock.
Which ICS rom is everyone running?

Let's lay down rules.

Since the defy developer quarx is helping us fix the only problem we have with our custom roms, it is important that you remember to be patient and don't ask for ETA! Also in the meantime everyone should start making our own roms, not use the defy but our own. We could use defy roms as a base but we should start making our own custom versions of cm7 and miui and etc.

I really hope we get it soon.
My bravo is damaged now, LCD screen is not working, Im going to receive my next BRAVO next week, then I'll buy a LCD screen for the damaged one.
ICS can wait... well not for too long, ICS is great!!
But now CM7 is for us.
I'd like to make it an OFFICIAL CM7 NIGHTLY BUILD also.
Lol, I have an Atrix but I've been using the Bravo for like 2 weeks straight now. It's such an addicting phone. And idk I like stock cm7 and stock miui...

You are right, both roms are great, but I'd like we have Gingerblur completly working.

Did you test CM7 with working camera?

[Q] Usable CM9 for Defy (green)?

Hello,
I've been using CM7 and now CM9-NIGHTLY-120711-Defy ROM, but, frankly, the phone is next to useless. The system/ROM on my phone is slow, unresponsive, buggy. So before I make crazy moves (like buying an old iphone) I would like to ask you for advice.
Is there any Android 4+ ROM for Defy that just works fine? No slowdowns, usable HWA, responsive... I really hate Motorola for not unlocking bootloaders (and won't buy any Moto ever).
I will very much appreciate your help. I cannot switch phone now (actually I've got two phones, one is Defy green lens the other Defy red lens).

That is exactly what I use (as I stated) and it's terrible (I know other ppl experiences can vary) - not to say that I don't respect the monumental amount of work the developers put into this project.
I did erase all data and clear the cache before flashing BTW.
Any clues?

I think you should restart at the beginning... wipe everything.. flash froyo and so on.. cm9 is better than cm72...

The only thing that doesn't work in the latest release of CM9 is wifi tether.

Idea for 3.x Kernel

hello,
i posted it in the ICS update thread:
Hey, silly question, i know, think it would be asked many times.
i wanne opend a new thread at dev, but i cant't to less comments --_--
now, we know, we never get a 3.X kernel from moto, so, we must help us at our own, i asked me, how?
my idea was, what abei the LG P990, i heard, there are 3.x kernel, no officiel, i know.
What are the hardware differences at the LG and the atrix? fingerprint and camera, i know, but what about the rest?
it it identicly? is it possible, that we can work with it? at beginning, without camera and fingerprint?
perhaps we found an other device with an identicly camera and 3.x kernel, perhaps we can look in a direction like that? only moto bashing wont help anyway
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i hope any dev get give informations to me?
the developers already know that moto left us behind..
they're talking about it and what they are going to do??..just the time will tell us...we have to wait hehe
I'm not a developer but sometimes i asked then about start the work from some other similar device's kernel (same that you're suggesting here)..they told that it's an idea but should be necessary a massive rewriting...so it's not easy and they will need time even if the device is similar..
thats the point, i think we don't have any other chance, similar devices kernel, or from scratch, the second is the option which needs more time, i think
i wanne call me a developer, nothing in comparsion with our big ones but i would like to help your devs and i think, i'm not the only one, but i don't know how - i know that is many work and needs massive rewriting, but it's our only option.
i only hope some devs would found together and can say, how we, the, i wanne call it "non-kernel-hackers" , can help.

Its not as simple as that. Each device is different regardless of the OS. If you think our devs aren't good enough or they aren't trying hard enough then I'm sure you know exactly how to do it so just try yourself .

Hi quarx!
I want to ask you something...how you do to make hwa work on jb for defy?...I ask this because in atrix forum we are mad cos motorola **** us not releasen ICS...
So I think...in first time the problem on defy was the locked bootloader...but you get it work. Atrix has an unlocked bootloader..and we have Nvidia drivers...and I think there is a phone using the same tegra chip on a 2.x kernel...soooo its possible to make something?
If the answer is YES...and you know how to do it...maybe the atrix comunity can donate to you to buy an atrix...

i'm glad, that this thread went to the direction i thought about at starting it
Anyway, i think that our best chances is to raise a found, by donating, and offer it as a bounty for the first dev to create a 3.x kernel for our device. We might find someone that way. Create that kernel takes lots of time and skills. Very very few people are willing to invest all the time required for free.

I too have sent Hashcode a message asking for possible assistance. I told him we would be willing to donate to the cause.
If you can organise a decent fund/development device, I'd recommend contacting TripNRaVeR. He has experience porting the vanilla 3.1.10 Tegra kernel code to a new device (the One X, which shipped with 2.6.39) hence he's probably already halfway there with knowing where to go next. It looks like LG and Sammy have ditched DVFS in their 3.1.10 releases on the Galaxy R and O2X, which would be nice (using standard governors )

[Q] CyanogenMod 11 for L3 E400

Some developer is interested in building the CM11 to L3?
The S3 Mini already has a stable rom, why not L3?
That cuz they have developers for mini s3 unlike LG e400 zero support for this device ....even cm9 roms have so many bugs that didn't fixed like camera bug and phone bug like no loud speaker
Hello mate am also a fellow l3 owner and guess what I've a few such threads myselfs. You can see one request thread in the same section as yours which is mine so take this as an advice from a bit more experienced person, i now pity myself for creating that thread or making any other similar threads or useless posts around the forum, it's no use - nobody cares and the thing i learnt recently is - "this just doesn't work the easy way" - you can't just make a post/thread then sit back and relax hoping for someone to pop up see your thread and make something up for us outta nowhere just for the satisfaction of doing so.
As far as your question is concerned even cm10 seems a wishful dream let alone cm11
so many thread like this, even cm9 is developed by cyanogen mod still has many bugs. dont dream to cm10 or cm11. seem to no stable rom except it base on stock rom
