New MotoBlur UI - Motorola Photon 4G

Engaget posted a look to the new Moto UI for ICS.
Lots of screenshots and it does look great (in my opinion, of course)

Stock Android still looks better.

its nice, been using it a while now and like it alot.

New motoblur is a step in the right direction with the modest amount of theming involved. They seem to have basically made their blur apps themed to blend well with stock ics which is nice. Icons are still ugly as hell though, and they changed the black statusbar? Personally, you wont find me runnin the new blueblur. For every blur app out there, there will be a better alternative in the play store.

I am definitely excited about trying the Official ICS from Motorola. I was on the stock Rom with my Photon for quite sometime before I rooted it and then started to flash custom Roms on it. In my own opinion, an small improvement with MotoBlur is a huge improvement for me.

i think ics with motoblur will be better than cm9

Motorola Looking for Testers for Photon

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/58901?tstart=0
I've already registered.
Interesting. I wonder if they are going to push out the updates for testing that Yay already has posted in our development section, or if it might be something much more interesting - like ICS. Could be fun!
You don't say... who knows? Google might want to launch several devices with ICS at the same time.
Just signed up for it. If I get it and anything promising comes up I'll see what I can do about getting it to the rest of the community
Thanks for the heads up

That shows sprint and Motorola see the potential in the photon and want to continue making it better. Get us the DROID 3 blur and i'll be a happy camper.
I like the os that came with this phone. It doesn't really feel that bloated. Honestly it feels a lot like the vanilla gb rom I ram on my shift, just without the full customization

Wondering if there will be a WTop update attached to this or at least a current WTop source release. The funny thing is my service manager saw THIS and cursed Samsung all day. ICS MoPho will be one more thing I can pick on him about.
I hope they keep webtop, but with ics using the 3.0 kernel I see 11.10 in our future officially. Thats going to be one sweet update.

no way we are getting that. I filled the blank in for him. I am the Moto guy that lurks on these forums. It dispenses money but only twice every 2 weeks and you get about 200 bucks per withdraw
Well Moto guy, could you maybe pass along some nvflash tools?

Absolutely nothing. Just a bunch of bored dudes starting threads obviously. I'm sure the photon will see ics. Just not anytime within the next month or 2 is my guess. I think we'll see an official build by Feb (maybe) hopefully no later than march. Again, this is me guessing lol
Actually I have an inside source that says the engineers for the photon began ics work. But you know that doesn't mean much.

Besides being blue? ...next will be jelly bean...as long as I have a stable rom....overclocked kernel with no bugs and a nice theme that's all I care about...lol.....but when ics does come out there will be more development for sure

You guys hijacked the thread. So...
Volume+ seems to be a go to app but I am not really impressed. Haven't tried anything else yet, myself.

ICS update could be soon?

I know this is getting a little old to see on here but I thought I would just pass on the news. One of casual members over at atrix 2 forum found an ics leak using cheesecake for the att version of the phone just a few days ago yesterday Jim posted how to properly flash the new update(leak) of ICS.
Here's why I know we will get the update. The atrix 2 was one of the most currently under appreciated android device to come from Motorola in awhile. No advertisement. Just simply came out. The photon may have been out a few months longer but its resell value is still higher than the atrix 2 and has sold far more than the atrix 2. Please don't doubt Motorola on the ics updates. It will come out and it feels like only a matter of weeks or month before someone here finds a leak using cheesecake or some other method. Keep your chins up
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Even if Motorola released ICS for the Photon today it'd probably take them another 60 days to release the source code and drivers.
Actually I just checked and it seems they released the latest source code about 3 weeks before the OTA went live so maybe we'll get lucky.
Atrix*2* will have the update sooner, because it's OMAP device, like razor, bionic, droid4... It's easy to make it, if you have it already for one of them. ;-)

You are borderline trollin right now lex. Just let it go, don't be 'that' guy. And xda is supposed to be a source of information, hence it is closely related to a classroom. Every post that isn't at least somewhat informative is considered spam. "Motorola sucks" falls in that category and you should have known you were about to get flamed for sayin it.
I wouldn't write it better, even in my mother language.

Man, you started, if you look at the sequence of posts. Please, let it be...
So far for this being the first leak for the att atrix 2 its running flawlessly. The bug report thread for the build has not reported any major bug so far. So for just a leak Motorola did a great job with ics this ics. And did one of you say earlier that source was released? Were you talking about the tegra2?

Why are you so negative? If you hate Motorola so much and have such low standards for them then please leave the thread or provide useful information. If you have information about source being released in 8 months then post it rather than making assumptions based on your distaste for Motorola
