Ubuntu phone - RAZR HD General

As you may know, Ubuntu phone is finally available but even bigger surprise is rom available for our device (xt926)
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/xt926

This has been around for a while. The last time it was updated was July 2013. The ROM boots, but that's about it. Radio doesn't work and there are other issues.

From what I am reading that sounds in line with the feature set of the "true" Ubuntu phone, no (sorry, couldn't resist) but Rik is right, it is useless in the current state for XT925/XT926, I would consider it proof of concept at best.

sorry to tick you off.
You should be able to udate to the OTA by using the update.zip the same way you did for the leak, if we don't get it over the air...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
cool i appreciate it i wasnt sure thats all
OTA update will/should come threw just fine. Now haivng it install correctly could be a whole different story tho as we DO NOT know the specifics on the file that was posted over the weekend everyone jumped on before it was taken down.
Put it this way tho I've had engineering units from mfgs in the past and even those update correctly OTA so I wouldn't be to concerned about it. Plus if won't take long for someone to actuaaly grab and post the update.zip once it is pushed out.
Yeah that would be good. I still haven't received mine.

Has anyone actually gotten the OTA froyo yet? I've read things that said it was within 24 hours of the 20th... Also, when you say loading a custom theme, that doesn't mean a launcher right? Like LauncherPro?
OTA is not out yet. All previous info about release dates was just rumors.
And no, custom themes doesn't mean launchers, since those are just apps. It means actually modifying system files like framework-res.apk for different status bar, notification area, etc...
You really don't know as every company handles it differently and Moto for some reason is trying to keep the device locked down. However if you look at past phones (at least the two Androids I have had)
G1 normally you got the option to upgrade but you would lose root or would have to wait for JesusFreke to get the file and root it.
The Droid Eris there were actually 3 leaks to 2.1 all which prevented you from getting the OTA because of the boatloader #, however a couple of weeks after they finished updating everyone HTC released an OTA for all leakers (which allowed everyone to gain root conveniently enough if they wanted to downgrade and get root)
So really no one knows except Moto but normally leakers get it one way or another either through OTA or having someone upload the OTA as an update.zip file and you flash it to your phone. Hope that helps and wasn't too much of a history lesson lol

sorry for a bit off the topic
but is there anything official in regards to when 2.2 is coming out? cuz they were saying end of summer and to day is aug27th and still nothin
Summer ends September 23rd, so I am guessing very late summer. Probably some time around the second week of September, if not that last week of summer......hopefully not later than that.

Where will 4G LTE ICS come from?

I believe the current one is coming from google/motorola, but that's the wifi only model.
I have the 4G model, and afaik verizon would be releasing it, because it has their reputation/name on it
I also know this is a 'GED' device, so google supports it
so who would it be that would deliver ICS?
because if it's verizon, I don't think the 4G guys are getting it this month, but if it's google/motorola, I assume it can be within a week or so...
Chances are, it has to pass through Verizon for rigorous testing before being delivered OTA to thousands of users.

It will come from Google. Verizon will sign off on it, but it will come from Google. There seems to be a misconception around here that only the WiFi Xoom is a Google Experience Device (GED). Not true - the 3G/4G Xoom is as well. All updates have come from Google.

That's what I originally thought, as well, but, I was told only the wifi version is a GED earlier today. It was my understanding that all US versions of the Xoom were GED. If so, then maybe there's hope we'll see it sooner rather than later. After all, they have to do a soak test, right?

All US versions of the Xoom are GEDs. If they weren't, Moto would have been able to use a custom kernel to enable full SD card access, like they did with Xooms in other countries. I'm not sure where the misinformation came from that only the WiFi Xoom is a GED. That's not the case.

That is what I originally thought until I was told different. Thank you for confirming that!
So it won't be long before us 4g guys get it too. Unless Verizon had to test it out before signing off on it...

Let's hope so. Although I'm now running team EOS nightlies and have to say I may just stick with this. It's quite amazing. I'll install the official release once it's out there but I'm likely going to keep this.

No we're not. How quickly people forget that the VZW Xoom was first to receive the 3.1 update. VZW generally turns these GED updates around reasonably quickly.

I know. I'm just being highly sarcastic. Let's hope we see it in the next week or so. Of course, it'll likely get released while I'm traveling for work next week. Guess I'll throw the dev tools on my work laptop...."just in case". I really do hope we see the official update soon. Would like to compare it to the AOSP roms.
Apparently its not as easy as we thought ;-)

Really been holding out on that... There is no benefit in rooting my xoom right now besides eos ics.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
For the longest time I kept my Xoom stock. For a small while I put the tiamat rom on. But I eventually went back to Stock. With ICS, the advantage over stock HC is pretty immense and I wanted to make sure that what ever ROM I installed with ICS was fully functional. This is the primary reason I went with EOS. Their ROM is virtually fully functional. It also has additional functions like others have mentioned (OC, use of SD card, etc.) Anyway, this is one of those times where I really feel that the ROM developers have come through in a big way. The biggest bug I have found in one of the nightlies was the dictionary issue but that has since been resolved.
The way I look at it is this, with my 4G Xoom I either need to have the best ROM available or be fully stock, none of this in-between stuff.
just in case no one said it who cares !

ics ota for us

alright i have been searching forever and i keep finding people saying its out for the us now and a bunch of ppl saying its delayed. My transformer is saying no updates so i dont know if its a problem with mine or if the update is not ready yet. I tried doing a cold boot and clearing the data in the server apps, my device is not rooted its a refurb unit from best buy.
it did indeed come out 2-24 but i read somewhere bc of the bugs that Asus is working on an update for early nextweek- it also mentioned that they were pulling the OTA until the update goes out.
I know i saw the update posted somewhere here but you may want to wait a few more days until the update is released.
It took a few days for me to work some bugs out of mine, but it seems to work well now.. fingers crossed
alright thanks for the response hopefully it comes back soon then it a pretty good improvement minus the bugs?

This is wrong...they have not pulled the update....
Its still out there......nor are there any links about a patch or update..
Don't spread misinformation. Link if you can. Else don't spread what you heard..
Its bad enough around here without bad info getting Posted.
Misinformation or not - there is no update available on my device either. Stock firmware, tried the cache clear and cold reboot. Either it is a phased rollout and is S/N based or they pulled it.
im on the phone with asus now so ill see what they say
they are double checking but their first answer was that my tablet isalready up to date
whered you get that info from?

CWM - Install ---Follow the Directions...
Should be pushed to your device. Have you checked for the firmware update? It should push it as long as you are not rooted or have some funky kernel or something keeping you from it.
The firmware update is what I hace been checking is there something else somewhere for a software update or something? Settings-about tablet-system firmware update is what I have been checking
What is your version number in settings-> about? I don't see any bugs aside from some FCs, the very first day my clock in the status bar was all hosed up, but that has gone away.

[Q] Nexus 4 - no 5.0 update yet...

Hey everyone!
I got a new 8gb Nexus 4 a month ago for a great price and am using it now as my daily driver since I cracked my N5 and I am a bit bummed that it still hasn't received it's 5.0 update! It is already been nearly 2 months since they started rolling out!! My N5 already had it since the beginning of December. What is the hold-up? I don't know much about the system of ota rollouts (only that they start at about 1% of devices for the first week and in the next 2-3 they creep up to 25%, 50%, 75% and then the remaining 25%) but I am studying in the Czech Republic so I thought that it was effected by geographical location but I know people here already have 5.0 ota's on there N4s :/ So why haven't I got it? What is the problem? I am on 4.4.4 build number KTU84P....
What are my options to update manually? I don't want to use the Android SDK to update so are there any other options?? I know I could update flashing the factory images but can I do this without the SDK? I don't think the update will come and I don't want to wait any longer
Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll setup adb and fastboot on your pc. Then use fastboot to flash the factory image.

I rooted and customized my N4 without a PC. Follow these steps:
1) Download and install Towelroot. Once it installs and reboots u should be rooted.
2) Download SuperSU and update binary the normal way.
3) Next download BootUnlocker For Nexus Devices. Install and tap on unlock. U should reboot and when the "Google" boot logo shows up there should be a unlocked lock.
4) Download BusyBox and install
5) Download TWRP Manager and install the latest TWRP version for mako.
6) You're done, press volume down+power when u turn on your phone to get access to TWRP.
I can confirm, I did this myself and like u I was stuck running 4.4.4 and I am using SimpleAOSP 5.0.2 and in my opinion its a lot more stable than Stock L
BTW Google does plan on releasing 5.0 for N4 but since they have so much issues with the OS, the OTA is being delayed

The 5.0.1 is very stable. There are a few little bugs in it but it's not so bad.
The battery life is okay, I use mine the whole day and on the end of the day he is like 15-20% remaining. Better than on Kit Kat.

You are asking questions that are really hard to define and VERY user-specific. For me personally, I have a Nexus 5 and my wife has a Nexus 4. Both units are completely stock and have never been rooted or messed with in any way. For us, 5.0+ has worked perfectly and has no major issues. I do not experience the "memory leak" that people scream about, and I get as good if not better battery life as I've ever gotten. I'm sure someone will immediately jump in and proclaim that I'm an "apologist" or a "Google fanboy" and that there are countless problems that are well documented and I'm just delusional. But for my wife and I, we simply haven't had any issues as daily users of the phone and the latest OS. For me, I didn't wait for the OTA, I sideloaded the updates and it was a VERY simple process. Hardest part was getting the drivers correct but once I figured that out, it was 10-15 minutes at most to upgrade each phone.
Ohh glad to hear that. My Nexus 5 performed the same I would say. Maybe even a tad better when compared to 4.4.4... Anyway glad to hear the N4 is the same (come to think if it, this phone has REALLY surprised me.. I initially skipped it and stuck with my Gnex until the N5 came out. But sadly I dropped that a few times while taking photos skiing and some moisture got into it and the screen cracked... As a student I can't afford the £178 repair just after Christmas so I looked around for a new cheaper phone. Was going to get the Motorola G but saw that there are still a few NEW N4's for £100! And since I've had the past 4 nexus devices it was a phone I just had to get. On 4.4.4 I literally can't tell the difference in performance and everything else in that matters is great! The screen is so-so - not because the resolution -> actually don't really notice anything bad at 720p and don't need 1080p. But as on most IPS screens you can see most of the pixels when in direct sunlight. Just a bit more here compared to the N5. But after a month - a REALLY great phone. For an unbelievable price. Even the camera isn't that bad )
Sorry, now back to my question - do you have a guide which you followed to sideload lollipop?? If so could you please link it? I'm a bit scared - I really can't afford to brick this phone at the moment. Thanks allot!

Question about updates

I still haven't gotten the March update yet. I'm not rooted, totally stock and I'm on metro. This is my first month with a Nexus phone. Is this normal to take this long? I saw that it didn't come out till the 5th or something.
Yes. I got the March update on my N5 and N9, both wireless-only, but not on my N6 (T-Mobile) or N6P (AT&T).
It doesn't roll out to everyone at the same time. You can update manually pretty easily by flashing the factory images with fastboot. You need an unlocked bootloader to do this. I have instructions in my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Yeah I saw that I could do it manually but unfortunately I have a problem getting my hands on a PC right now.

That's a shame, in that case you don't really have a choice other than to just wait for it.
The updates sometimes come from the provider. Nexus are way faster updating than say..... Anyone. (Samsung, lg, HTC etc)
