ICS update could be soon? - Motorola Photon 4G

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

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.

Its my opinion and I can say it anyway I feel, this is a open forum, so that would mean this very post is spam also.

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

Motorola Looking for Testers for Photon

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

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.

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.

Source code

Just saw this tweet from Azrienoch:
"I hear @HTCDev just posted the source code for ICS on the Sensation, Sensation XE, and Raider. Well played, @htc."
Good to see some source being dropped.
inb4 I wonder if this will help us get things working on our phones.
No. Before anyone asks, it won't.
Good work on HTC's part though, very fast release of source compared to their usual.

My forecast, the Rezound probably won't see jellybean officially. If that's what you're wanting to see I would get a different device. And by that I mean a device that already has jellybean.

And HTC wonders why their profits fall as they forget about flagship phones, first 4G phone, first HD 720p phone, etc...if u can't keep those updated then why keep buying from your company? HTC better redesign their business model or bye bye. Even Motorola is only gonna slightly theme on top of Google updates so they can update within 3 months of a new release. I will protest against HTC by buying the new X phone by google and Motorola.

I think a lot of it is "why bother with Verizon phones?"
Verizon only cares about the popular phones. You can't blame them if they make money from it.
With the Bionic getting OTA 4.0 and Razr getting OTA 4.1.2 shows that HTC is slowly digging their own grave. They are always late or deliver an incomplete update that breaks something that needs and update to fix it. HTC flyer comes to mind....they broke it with update then simply walked away like a child who broke something acted like it never happened.

I disagree. I feel it's a fail on your part for even considering it will get Jelly Bean. Why are you so worried about what Motorola is doing when you have a HTC device?

Posts like these bother me. The phone got ICS months ago and now peopel are whining like little babies, "I WANT JELLY BEAN! HTC SUCKS!" HTC IS FAILING!"
To be honest I probably won't get another HTC device in 2013 when I upgrade, but I'm not whining about my Rezound either. I paid a mere $60 for it 3 months after it was released.
I will laugh at the naysayers and whiners **WHEN** we get official JB OTA.

I don't think the Rezound was meant to be a flagship in HTC and Verizon's eyes. It was just a device to have something to sell near the holidays and was never too popular sadly.

If this is how u feel then why ever update the phone past what it comes equipped with. You are missing the entire point I was trying to make. This is hands down a better device than the Razr but is being held back by HTC that would rather build new phones than update them. My last 3 phone have been HTC, my next will be the X phone. If my thread bothers u so much to bad, it was a news update and opinion from me, we still have free speech....for now anyways.

Its a fine line we walk on here. In one hand HTC says we are going to make a developer phone. In the other hand they say Sense is closed source. Then with one of their feet they open HTCDEV.com .. its very confusing. HTC wants to be open but they want to protect there stuff too. Personally I don't blame them, I just want it to be fare.
