ICS/CM9 will be coming to the droid 4 sooner than expected. Hashcode0f : the dev that develops for the d3,razr, and bionic is getting his d4 on monday and will be porting his work over to the d4. I just wanted to throw out this info for the people that don't follow hashcode on his twitter. if you want to follow him on twitter his name is Hashcode0f on twitter.

Check out his blog for more info on his work.

Per HASHCODE's twitter
Droid 4 will be fully supported. My device will be here Monday.
all of the devices we support are getting close to needing just the camera. It'll be the same with D4 fairly quickly.
UPDATE PER HASHCODE:
D4 came in. Im a few days behind getting it setup for CM9 and AOKP. Wanted to iron out the RAZR build. #comingsoon
CAMERA FIXED!!!!!
Thanks for the heads-up. This is a fairly big deal to me, and I was hoping for good news.
No worries man, i came from a droid 3 and i was running his ics/cm9 rom and aside from the camera (which is very close now) issue everything else is pretty solid and stable so hopefully by the time he gets it ported over the rom will be in beta and camera will be working. He does awesome work.
THANKS HASHCODE.

NICE!
I had been wandering since the RAZR and the D4 have the same innards if the roms could simply be ported back and forth with some minimal optimizations.
However I do love my camera, so I'll be looking forward to this ROM only after the camera has been implimented...
I'm not worried about the camera lol i could flash ICS and wait for a camera after an update

I've been jonsing for some Cyanogen ever since i got the D4. I miss the freedom i had on my Inc with CM7.
Camera is working now on d3.

on ICS? if so, thats a major breakthrough for all Moto phones as the camera modules have to be somewhat similar

Only the back camera... no ffc, no panorama, no video. And its all done by software, so there's a noticeable 'lag' when moving the camera around and taking a picture.

I've been waiting for this. Now I'm just waiting for my friends to get a phone with a front facing camera.
Forever in limbo with the things we want for our Bionics. If it ain't apps, it's the phone, and if it ain't the phone, it's others who need to get an updated phone... It seems a lot of apps need to catch up with the dual-core world.
Beings that the bionic and almost every other phone has built in soft keys including the vigor which will be out soon, does anyone think any current phones will be getting an ICS update. ICS has the softkeys built into the screen like honeycomb. It would look a little funny with 2 sets of menu keys. Just seeing if anyone had any input on this issue
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I fully expect the Bionic to get ICS. In fact I'd be willing to bet it's one of the first non-nexus phones to recieve it. Being under the google umbrella is a good thing, which Motorola now is. As far as the buttons go, that's a software modification and I don't expect that to be much of a road block. Button remapping takes place all the time in custom kernels so the guys at Moto and or Google should be able to sort that out simple enough.
I was hoping so. It just seems one of the main ics features is no menu keys. I was just hoping it wouldn't have both
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
ICS is being hailed as bringing tablets and phones together, so something as simple as disabling some on-screen menu buttons doesn't sound like something they would overlook.
Even if we ended up with some ****ed up version of ICS that made our phones have two rows of menu buttons, it wouldn't take longer than a day for the hackers here on XDA to figure out how to hide them.
Seems to me that our softkeys would work just fine w/ ICS... all the screengrabs I see have home, back, and multitasking buttons. Remap the menu key to be for multitasking, and you're set, with a bonus search key that duplicates whatever search function is integrated w/ ICS elsewhere.

I think it kinda sucks that Samsung and Google are waiting on officially releasing ICS due to the passing of steve jobs. Yeah it can be respectful but that didnt stop apple from making money.
I doubt the Google acquisition will affect products in the pre-merger pipeline for a year. Short of layoffs, I've never seen a change in engineers assigned priorities right off the bat.

The release isn't pushed back, just the announcement.

Last warning.
Back on topic please folks
I'm sure they have the ability to use the four keys just like 2.3.7 and below. I believe that they also said that it was the manufacturers choice when building phones and tablets which method they use back when they were first touring honeycomb on the XOOM. I'm sure that they won't give us two sets of keys and take up screen realestate.

Nexus S will be the first phone to receive the update as far as previously sold phones without ICS. My Nexus S 4G has builtin soft keys as well. There's your answer

Arcee still has us, man. He's got sk4 out now. I'm running gingerbread on a p925 at this moment.
Its a bit buggy and not all the 3d stuff is working just right... Eats battery like crazy so don't use it full time just yet.
The nightlies are going to start up soon, before long we'll be running gb whether lg (or Rogers/At&t) cares or not.

Cm7 is actually running pretty well and crazy fast on mine. No major battery issues here, but the front can is upside-down, no HDMI (which I've never actually used anyways) and no 3d. Other than that... awesome.

I was just looking in the O3D forums. Way more Mods going on over there then here. LG and at&t need to hurry up with the gb update.
With arcee's release 4 of cm7 on p925. Has anyone noticed echoing on the other callers phone with a fresh install? Nothing Modified...

Yes. Possible solution: turn down call volume. What I think is happening: the mic for noise cancellation is actually being used as a call mic. That plus the speaker being louder is causing the callers to hear themselves with a cell delay. Maybe.
Sent from my almost cm7 p925
Yea. Arcee, in my opinion has made the best rom for the Thrill. May still be buggy but its amazing. And I myself at least don't have any problems with battery life. And with ICS and CM9 on the way, things are only gonna get better.
I got the phonecall echo as well. CM7 SK3 had a dark green camera issue as well, waiting for the next version to try it again. Rdannar did some great work for us, and as sad as it is to lose him, we still have many excellent development cooking up new software for this model, and it's only going to get better, especially with ICS getting a lot of O3D experimentation. Don't look down, friends- look forward!

Did anyone else find the 3D camera to be a bit odd? I don't really use it but it just looked a little off to me.
I'll wait till the bugs are worked out

If you want a fully functional ROM, go with eclipse or kinetx. ALL of the ICS roms are still BETAs and updates LAG immensely. Jus so you know.

But I definitely think so.

I would like to get the Razr MAXX... But good trade I have the Tbolt too but use my Bionic mostly better device for the most part.
Just wish the camera was as good as the TBolts.
Went with Eclipse 2.2 with Titanium theme. Solid so far.
Now, the true test: battery life!

yep the ics roms are actually ics. they have no hardware acceleration yet though so flash doesn't work. also depending on what area your in ppl have problems with data drops. when it drops you gotta reboot to get it back. we need to get an official moto update with a better kernel and ics drivers to get it really solid.

Which phone is a better value to me? I need a stop gap phone until the Note 3 or some next gen phone.
The nexus 4:
Better SoC quad core s4 pro
Android 4.2.2
Better build quality
But dunno about the development their at the atrix hd

I prefer the build quality of the Atrix 10 fold. The nexus feels cheap and plasticy. And we have a steady stream of 4.2 roms coming now.

For now it is, once our devs get that 3.4 kernel working we'll be able to have all the roms the N4 has with little issues. As is we already almost can. Between us, RAZR, and Photon Q, there is only a small handful of devs and kangers.
Our biggest problem is no one stays long enough before they jump ship. I'll be here for the next year and a half minimum so there ya go (upgraded contract and received AHD in March). Even if I were to get a new phone I'd still keep up with PAC for us cause I'd use my AHD as a portable game system/mp3 player -- I plan on getting one of these in the next month (have to finish up this job we're on so I have the $$$). I should probably get a MAXX battery as well.
I'd go N4

N4 has good build quality IMHO. Very luxury feeling. Just the glass back will get micro scratches all over it from minimal use and it will shatter with the slightest bit of a drop.

I think he meant where is this steady stream of ROMs lol and I have to say In wouldn't get an atrix again if I could do it over , the battery life if horrible and for it being dual core and a gig of ram its slower then my Samsung focus but this is my first android device and I'm beginning to figure out how to properly use the OS.Just my two cents .

Especially now that I'm pretty much doing nightlies....sometime 2 PAC's a day. I plan on getting AOKP set up for possibly Youngunn2008 to start doing builds for us (its hard to do more than one rom and give both the time they deserve). We have CM10.1, PAC, Carbon, all from source, AOKP to come, PA Ports from Echo (will be source eventually). We've been unlocked for such a short time and our devs have made tons of progress. Give it a bit more time and I believe we'll soon have an epic phone. Kinks just gotta get unkinked.

I was going to pick up a Nexus 4 today. Held one in my hand and loved the look and feel of the device. But I realized that my Atrix HD was still a great phone that full filled my needs perfectly. And with a good chance that we'll receive a 4.2 update I decided against buying the Nexus 4. But I ended up buying a Nexus 7 and am in love with it.
