Atrix 2 and ICS...no Atrix 4G news? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Atrix 2 forums are going crazy with reports of ICS releases going up on cheesecake. Has anyone heard of anything for the OG Atrix?

Last rumors I heard were from a dude here that posted about this in this section probably close to a week ago about this may happen. The thread got closed
NM, was just a couple days ago here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26665314

I'm not stock or i would try browsing for a possible update, hope someone tries and reports back soon!

I saw that one, but nobody considered it credible. I'm wondering if anyone has been checking cheesecake instead of playing with the latest Kitchen Sink / Paranoid / CM9 and other ICS builds (I'm trying Paranoid right now).

The other thread got closed due to a few numnutz not behaving.
Long story short, the last we heard was Q3 for ICS on the Atrix...

Makes sense that you'd see an Atrix 2 leak by now. It uses the same OMAP 4430 chipset as the droid RAZR, so it was probably just a matter of porting.

I check cheesecake pretty often. But there's nothing up yet. And the server that usually yields goodies is offline at the moment. If/when there is, expect me to make a topic.

I've searched but can't find a good howto for cheesecake on the Atrix 4G. Does anyone have a guide for those unfamiliar to the process?
Nevermind, I found it. Don't know why I couldn't find it before....
Project Cheesecake

It would be great to check available updates on the test servers, but it seems that we need to reverse-engineer the protocol
I don't think we will get a leak at least within a month. Atrix 2 and RAZR share the same platform, so Atrix 2 will get official ICS earlier. Also, I think ICS release date for Atrix highly depends on NVIDIA. There is no Tegra2-based phone (Atrix, Captivate Glide, Optimus 2X, Galaxy R) that already has leaked ICS build, and only two of them (Atrix, Optimus 2X) have possible release dates (both in Q3)

Last I read, and I can't for the life of me find the article now, but it said Atrix 4G would be late Q3, so still a wee while yet. Im thinking September, but really its all speculation at the end of the day.

guys, a question:
in my nation (italy) ICS is in evaluation... And maybe it will not see light...
But, if ICS will be in USA... i can use that version in italy?

AFAIK, no. Kernel will be different, as the Atrix ATT is not like the Atrix INT.
So if there's exists a chance that it will work on int, only kernel devolopers might know.

i didn't find it credible either but i think it worth a try...
anyway it would be nice if someone with an ATT atrix would try that cheesecake thing (it is a bit more complicated for att atrix read in commencts) because only that will get ICS...
and as i heard from my sources the razr, atrix 2, atrix 4g got test builds on the same day, of course that's not a reliable information, but cheesecake worth a try

The ins and outs of ICS on your Photons

I am here today to discuss all the possible ways of getting pics on your photon, though none of them fully baked.
1. Of all the tegra . Devices with a working port, the xoim is your best bet. Mainly because the Xoom and the photon have similair boards and partly because the the idea of ICS is being able to bridge the phone tablet gap.
2. We have working cyanogon mod now, and cyanogen has working tegra cm9 builds, if one of the cm7 porters is up to the challenge than the cm9 builds are your best bet.
3. The hardest of all solutions, is waiting for some super hacker to post their build of Photon ICS, unless someone already has a buil going than there is a seriously low chance of this choice seeing the light of day.
But this thread is also here to say that we have very good devs here and should be happy with all the work we have. If you do not believe me take a look at the atrix or X2 forums because the photon blows them out of the water.
Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year!

I have faith in Motorola releasing official ICS to our Photon. This is their flagship phone on Sprint, and I don't see any reason to not get the update.
And yes we have awesome devs that do an awesome stuff with our phones.

Id rather wait for an official ICS build some time next year than a half assed port to be honest. We need few more issues fixed in our cm7 port before cm9 shows its face. Cybik is taking care of cm7 and is doing a very good job. I don't know if the photon is officially supported by cm yet but i know he submitted it. In a nutshell I don't think we should be worried about ics ports yet when our CM7 GB port isn't fully completed. There's still a few kinks that need to be ironed out...

I think this is one of those YMMV situations. I've had CM7 on my Electrify for a month and have had practically no ROM related issues, our devolopers have been nothing short of outstanding. Thank you all foe your hard work!
As for ICS, I have faith that someone out there is either already working on something at least on the side or CM9 is closer than we think. But if we have to wait Gill next year either from a dev or motorola, so be it. Quality takes time.

People possibly get this idea that you can run the same ROM on any phone that has the same GPU/CPU is because of Windows that can run on any x86/x86-64 based computer

Now my reasoning behind this was I looked for the moto device most similair to the photon with tegra 2. The xoom looks nothing like the photon, but it has working ics and has- parts wise-many identical parts and not just cpu, gpu stuff. Its more than a theory in my opinion but than again I don't have a photon (check the signature). If you can say out right it would be easier to start from scratch than work with the xoom, I can respect that but I always like clarification!

make no mistake using hotfixes from teh xoom is highly intelligent considing how much is close.. but joker can even tell you.. not everything from the atrix (our sister phoen) can even be just ported over without some modding.. :/
that is what my point is... VERY rarley do you have phones close enough to be able to just change out files willy nilly (the htc vision was an amazingly awesome phone for being able to do this) and the nexus s and the nexus s 4g are fairly universal when it comes to kernels for the most part

Could ICS be coming to X2 from Verizon?

Per Droid Life, and Twitter, Verizon tweeted that they are in the midst of updating their Software Upgrade Timeline. Droid Life is stating they feel the X2 is a yes in getting it.

We can only hope! I saw, tweet the snot out of Verzion and DEMAND ICS for the X2 (and adding an unlocked boot loader would be icing on the cake, er sandwich)
I have to agree with this list. Although I don't think the x1 down will receive ICS to push users to get newer devices.
It better also come with an unlocked bootloader IF we get ICS!
Good news. We deserve SOMETHING from Motorola. If not an unlocked bootloader then ICS for sure. Motorola has given us nothing but a few crappy bug fixes. lol. But Im not in too much of a hurry though since I have CM7 now.

True, very true. But, to have an official ICS means possibly that Dragonzkiller and company can REALLY go to town on CM9 for the X2!
Motorola better not stiff us on ICS like they did the boot loaders.
But, the X2 will still be my final Moto device since they lied to us about the boot loaders and have not returned a single email I've sent. And I've been cordial and tactful. No hate, no cussing, no name-calling; very business-like but frank and to the point.

Looks pretty slick.... ics only.... I assume they will make a version for gb phones.
Sucks it's ICS only. Any ideas on why it took them so long to get the ball going for this on Android? I assume ICS got the first release because of hardware acceleration, but you'd think they'd have a previously working version looooong ago.

That's because ICS was a major upgrade from Gingerbread, especially at the kernel level. It was more of a rewrite than an upgrade.
Hence, this is looking for ICS libraries. It's possibly also looking for an ICS kernel which we don't have AND won't have unless Verizon decides to release ICS for the X2.
We are at the mercy of Verizon on this one.
Remember, CM9 will still have the GB kernel, not an ICS one since we cannot replace the kernel due to the locked bootloader. Again, at the mercy of Verizon AND Motorola on the locked bootloader.
I've been waiting for Chrome on Android for the entire time I've had an Android (about a year and a half). I just came across an article about on another website, read the whole thing with excitement, and then shot a baby when I read it was only for ICS. WTF?! That's very disappointing to me. Any thoughts as to why they did that? Maybe because it's beta and wanted limited exposure at first?
If they just now started working on getting chrome out then it really doesn't make sense to release it on gingerbread and ics. I would expect that it would be released for their newer os rather than the one that is going to be phased out. Maybe once they get all the bugs worked out they will release a version usable on gingerbread, so phones that won't be updated, or even new phones that aren't as powerful as the phones sporting ics, will be able to use it.

Because we are stuck on the gingerbread kernel, CM9 may not work unless Motorola releases ICS for DX2. As stated earlier, apk needs libraries from the ICS kernel. The only other option is to hack the actual apk.

Do any of us honestly believe Motorola will every release the ICS update for the Atrix 4G? Correct me if I am wrong, but they push back the due date to the end of the year if not beyond. This normally means they will not do it. Thank God for ROMs and these great developers here. I currently have the AOKP ICS ROM (Milestone 6) on my Atrix 4G and loving it.
I believe the photon got pushed back from Q3 to Q4 and it uses the same tegra 2 chipset as the atrix so that tells us something.

I think Moto will stick to the timeline they have posted. ICS has been in development for the Photon for a while now and from all I have read with the re-structuring of Moto Mobility it seems they are pushing to get devices on the latest Android releases. Sounds to me like Google wants Moto to get on an update schedule similar to what the Nexus devices are on. This should not be a problem with Moto not having to support so many devices in the future.
I do hope that if/when ICS does come to the Photon it is a better release than what other manufacturers have pushed out. Everyone I have heard from that has gotten ICS hates it and wants GB back. Of course the best bet is to wait until our developers get the proper drivers and incorporate the missing pieces into custom roms and run those.

I would PM Joker or Th3Bill with that link, just in case they missed it.
i don't care whether we get the official ICS, or even the drivers from another phone as long as the drivers are taken, and can be used towards all of the problems with the custom ICS and JB roms i will be happy. Hopefully if we cant get drivers from another phone the official ICS will get rolled out soon.
This is a seriously dead topic that's been discussed over and over and over again. 12 months in a year, 4 quarters in a year. 12 divided by 4 is 3. Each quarter is three months long. Q3 ends with September. Q4 begins with October. Atrix ICS before end of September. Photon ICS before end of December. Atrix and photon = same hardware. Meaning, our jb and ICS ROMs will be perfectly stable shortly after the atrix ICS gets released.
^^^^^^
i was just about to say. Q4 starts in october
captivate ics wont really change terribly much. look at the xoom ics or even gtab 10.1. all used diff camera sensors/wrappers so sure the chipset is the same.. but the crap that is needed for stable isnt :/
unless something has drastically changed since the last time i talked to joker the camera was the last big hurdle?

So if i would have left out that first sentence I wouldn't be an ass? It was a factual statement, not a shot at you. I see you actively contributing around here quite often, I was surprised that a regular such as yourself would start a thread posing a question in which there are many other threads that have the answer. A little reading wouldn't hurt is all im saying.

captivate ics wont really change terribly much. look at the xoom ics or even gtab 10.1. all used diff camera sensors/wrappers so sure the chipset is the same.. but the crap that is needed for stable isnt :/
unless something has drastically changed since the last time i talked to joker the camera was the last big hurdle?

actually i read a discussion somewhere, they are not the same, cos tablets are based on Harmony board (tegra 250 T20), and mobiles on Ventana (tegra 250 AP20H) and some crappy little difference between them didnt let the devs do that.

Those tablets use a different type of Tegra 2, that's why. Photon/ Atrix= AP20H, Xoom/ Galaxy Tabs= T20. The captivate uses the same chip set as these Moto Tegra devices. People from the Atrix forums have started looking into the captivate leaks for anything, just be patient and wait for the news
Sent from my undervolted, underclocked, power saving Motorola Atrix.
understandable that its the same tegra chipset but that doesnt mean its the same camera module. this is a different manufacturer we are talking about (samsung at that so it actually has a decent camera unlike moto)
Unless you're stuck with a locked bootloader or fortunate enough to be in a WiMax market, head over to the developer's forum and load one of the many ICS or JB based ROMs. Joker's CM10 based ROM is as stable or better of an experience than I ever had with factory.
