Hello!
I just read an article on Engadget, reporting news about CyanogenMod 9 and Ice Cream Sandwich. Link (my first post, so waren't allowed to post clickable link... sorry!): engadget.com/2011/12/06/ics-based-cyanogenmod-9-its-on-track-but-not-for-everybody/
It mentions CM9 making good progress, especially for devices powered by the OMAP 4 processor. Considering the OMAP 4430 processor inside the Fire, this must be great news for future Fire ROM's?
Is it likely we'll see a CM9 ROM for the Fire?

Ok, thank you, I'll try to find some more threads about it. Those I've found so far are mostly about porting the CM7 ROM, but I guess the CM9 gets mentioned as well
CM7 has been ported, but does not have sound. The Dev. working on that did that to prove it could be done, then went directly to an ICS port. Another Dev says he has completed ICS, with aspects not working, but sucessfully booting, and will post pics and source later today. It is def. coming. I am waiting for the TWRP 2.0 before I mess with them though. I need successful recovery tools before I am willing to brick a $199 investment.
Sounds really great! I haven't received my Kindle yet, but the idea of running ICS on it is very exciting.
Do any of you have any thoughts about the performance? I've tried some HTC Android phones earlier, and noticed a significant performance increase when I replaced the stock ROM (with Sense) with a Vanilla Gingerbread ROM. Do you believe it will be the same result here? Better performance with Vanilla ICS than with the stock ROM including Amazon's custom UI?
It indeed seems like the developers that are working on the Kindle Fire make great progress! Awesome news for me that is probably importing one to Sweden in the near future. Awesome work developers!
Same here! Importing one to Norway, so a great part of the Kindle Fire Custom UI is more or less 'useless' for me... ICS will certainly make it a lot more versatile!

I'm with you there, I want to install the CM7 port so bad but don't like not having a working recovery yet. Wish I knew enough to help out the development, but I'm just a tinkerer.

On ICS and love it...now gonna try CM9!
I have been on ICS for a week now and love it...Now its time to try out CM9, since they got a new update today! Want to give HUGE THANKS to all the DEVS!! You have made my Kindle Fire AWESOME!!
I also installed the cm9 beta earlier this week. I've updated with each new release and it just keeps getting better. It runs so much faster than the OEM software and most of my apps install with ease. Can't thank the devs enough for their work.
Kindle Fire ICS beta is awesome
The new Kernel by Hashcode is amazing a step in the right direction for perfect KF support for ICS. Thank you to Hashcode, JackpotCalvin, and all the other devs who put in so much time to get this working!
Hey all, I'm running the Team EOS nightly and was wondering if there is any advantage to restoring to stock honeycomb for the official ICS update?
Should I just wait until a rooted ICS version based on the official is released?
It was released already, it's at the top of the development forum...flash with CWM, it's already rooted. From what I understand, it's probably faster for 3D gaming...could be wrong though.
Are there any issues with the official ics? I would do a search but it seems the search function is missing for some strange reason.

I can't think of a single one. I just flashed nightly 26 from 23, booting it now. Loving the EOS builds!
For a while none of the gameloft games were working on EOS.
Could have been fixed by now.

It is, I've got Uno and MC3 on mine and they are working fine.
I decided to load up the official rooted release and so far it's pretty much the same as Team EOS's build. Team EOS does seem to be a bit snappier, and I do miss the reboot options on Team EOS build. The only improvement I see with the official is the camera, that seems to be snappier and more responsive on the official.
Only issue existing on both version is the Revision3 app that just won't load.

I've been running rooted ICS stock for several days now ... installed the leaked RC, then rooted.
Your question about EOS vs. stock gets the standard answer from me - are you happy with EOS and want more features in the future? If so, then stay with EOS.
For me, I'll stay with stock rooted - I just want a tablet that works and not interested in tweaks. I'll spend my tweaking time on my Photon.
There is no objectively right or wrong answer to your question, and nobody else can answer it for you. Enjoy!
Good thread. I was curious as well because knowing verizon (any carrier really) i doubt I'll see ICS anytime jan or feb and i konda want it now...

Actually you don't have to root your Xoom if you just want ICS. I believe there is a stock ICS rom out there too. You will have to unlock the bootloader though.
From my perspective if you are running a rooted stock version of ICS there is virtually not a single reason. Stock isn't overclocked, a lot of enhancements are missing etc. But if you run a completely stock ICS with no root there are some advantages. For example, if you run a non-rooted stock you can rent videos from Google. I can't really think of anything else haha. Go EOS, their ROM is sick.

What benefit does the eos have? No need for OC for me. I actually use the xoom alot during the day and will only jse up mlre battery.
I don't rent videos either so i don't care about that
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
There are a ton of advantages to EOS ROM over Stock. The major one is the micro SD card is read/writable, all voice-to-text features are working as is facelock, the micro USB port is actually useful now, the EOS quick settings are very nice and they all work! There are several battery options from EOS settings and you can make the notification pull look any way you like.
Even if you don't use the performance features this ROM is the only way to Xoom. Until CM9 or Rogue get one out for the 4G
Hi, there, guys!
A friend of mine gave me yesterday an Atrix 4G. I would like to unlock its bootloader, root it and hopefully install the best available rom for it.
But the thing is that I can't find where to start from
There are a lot of threads regarding what I want (I've been reading through the forums for the last two hours) but I am still at a dead end..
My main problem is that most of the topics are about 2.3.4 android version or AT&T Atrix models. Plus, most of the links are dead...
The Atrix I have now is android version 2.2.2 and System Version writes: Version.4.4.20.MB860.Retail.en.GB
As I said I would like to test it with custom roms, but for starters, I would be glad if someone could point me to a way to simply upgrade to 2.3.4 (I don't care for now for unlocked bootloader or root - just want to see how it is in 2.3.4, perhaps perform a backup and afterwards try my luck with custom roms..)
For the record, I tried Motorola Software Update and reported that I am using the latest version..
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
P.S.: Shame on me - wanted to post is Q&A forum.. Sorry for that - please move if necessary!!

Try the update first, go into settings, about phone and there you'll be able o get an OTA update.
Had already tried OTA - no joy..
Anyways, I've been using the Atrix since Friday and the thing is a real beast after everything I've installed.
I never close any apps - on purpose - I only "minimize" them pressing the home button. It always has around 500MB of free RAM. The thing is a speeding bullet..lol
I only wish it had a more "standard" screen resolution (some apps don't work full screen) and a better camera (it is good but not as good as the arc's)
Look into either 1080p camera on Olympus or for droid3 camera in the ATRIX forums that should give you the outstanding camera you are looking for and remember the ATRIX is VERY powerful and our devs are the best around B-) with their help and our hardware we can make the ATRIX just as good and usually better in any field compared to another phone >.<
Hit thanks if you found this useful

if you want good and fast rom you should try a Cm9 it's great almost stable ,and very quick . ( quicker than cm7 for sure ) i did not have any battery drying
go for CM9 and enjoy that ICS goodness =)
Which CM9 release are you referring to?
I have found:
[ROM] CM9 a multidevice collaboration by multiple devs
[ROM] Atrix CM9 [ADT's SelfKANGish builds]
[Kang] *Unofficial* CM9 and CM7 Kangs/ROMs
Is it any of these ?

I've ran the top 2 you referred to and both run great other than the known issues. My phone has better luck running the ATRIX cm9 [Ad's SelfKangish builds] not sure why but your experience may be different. Both roms are fantastic and are being updated frequently.

I'm running the first one and I am amazed how stable it is. Going on three days and I don't plan on going back to cm7. So far the only thing I'm not liking is wifi speeds are not what they should be.
Hi all, I'm new here, bought a GT7.7 few days ago. As i was using ICS on my GT8.9 before (I'm a member of the Galaxian-soup team who made a AOSP ICS rom for GT8.9), the HC feels very slow to me. So my question is why there is no ICS rom for GT7.7? The Galaxy Note has the same SoC as GT7.7, correct? Note has a official Samsung ICS leak, correct? So we should be able to get all needed libs from that rom to make everything work. Am i missing something? Is there some specific problem with GT7.7 that I'm not aware of or are there just no devs here who have tried?
I would try it alone, but unfortunately getting it to run needs some kernel mods and i don't have any experience with kernels. I know what needs to be done, so if there are devs here who have time and are interested, let's work together and make it happen.
Probably because the 7.7 doesn't really have a whole lot of community dev support yet, especially compared to the likes of the Note and the 8.9, both of which have been out for longer.
I would love to see you make one for us. ^^
If i would know how to cook a ICS ROM i already did it ^^
But someday that will happen
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
i think it is because da 7.7 just arrive US, and most of custom rom developers are from US, so we dont have much custom rom yet
I have to say I'm not missing ICS on this device - compared to another cheapo Chinese device (Aurora) I'm also using (where ICS is just SLOWWW!), the 7.7 is just right as it is! If ICS slows down the 7.7 then I'm sticking with HC.

I'm missing it. I've been using AOSP ICS on my GT8.9 for two months now and it is a lot faster then HC, especially the browser. The stock browser in GT7.7 is unusable for me.
I will try to build a AOSP ICS rom and see how far i get. Are there any kernel devs here?
I'd be interested in trying to help, but I've never actually done android kernel development. I have set up a build environment to compile the kernel but only to **** around for myself; I've never actually released anything on xda.
I am wondering though, is it actually possible to modify the HC kernel to run a ported ICS ROM? Over in GS2-land I'm pretty sure all the ICS ROMs are running modified, leaked kernels. Even CM9 is using mostly a leaked kernel with repacked initramfs I'm pretty sure.

Yes, it is possible. For GT8.9 we are using android 3.1 kernel from Samsung (for some reason Samsung has not released android 3.2 kernel source code for GT8.9). Of course it needs to be modified to make hw acceleration, touchscreen etc work.

Sounds like you need a better kernel dev than me, then. But as others have said, development over here is pretty limited--you could try posting in the dev section, but ezynow is the guy who has posted anything on the kernel side of things. Maybe things will pick up a bit with the VZW release, but to be honest, this is a pretty niche device--I love it and I'm sure most of the people reading this do too, but at the price point it's just never going to be that popular. Here's to hoping.
you need all the updated binary libraries for ICS in addition to the new kernel before installing ICS will be possible
Availability around the world ( aside from Asia ) might be quite low or next to non-existent, its a great device but I've got a feeling it wont get too much of a developer support as samsung just keeps on crunching out new tablets.
OK, i'm confused now. I've been gathering information about the gt7.7 and i have found a lot of conflicting information. Do we have a confirmed partition table information? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21695494&postcount=5 < this looks right to me, can anyone confirm this?
The strange thing is that even the root.zip released here seems to mount the wrong partition, it mounts /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 as system?! To me it looks like the system is mmcblk0p9 or am i wrong?
Are P6800 and P6810 partition tables the same?
No they are not.

The partition tables are different and details have been posted elsewhere.
davp has previously posted about the possible error in root.zip as you also have identified. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22650451 There does not appear to be any response by JadeEyedWolf or any others. Whilst it might not be a likely critical problem, it may, at the least, be poor coding.

this is going to be easier to port as we can use most files from android 4.0

you should ask to some help from doomlord
hi,
doomlord can't help as he is an kernel developer and i am kernel/rom developer
he doesn't know very much about developing for roms
It shouldn't be too long before CyanogenMod at least takes a stab at doing JB, so in addition to what nickholtus has already said he's working on, JB shouldn't take too long to make it to us. Given Google's numbering scheme, I would imagine that 4.1 isn't such a monumental change from 4.0 to merit a complete reworking.

I hope OP's successful as I'd flipping love to get a JB ROM on my phone with its supposed speed increase.
Although, I'm still waiting on this magic Linaro stuff which doesn't look like it'll deliver
We will be able to get JB working as well (if not better) than ICS once official source code is released mid July
