yes the Bionic is indeed. the Galaxy Nexus is going to launch with ICS, then the Droid RAZR will have an ICS update in Jan. followed by the Bionic & Thunderbolt(no ETA yet though).

This is awesome news! Yesterday I find out Asus is planning an ICS update for my tablet, today Motorola announces an ICS update for my phone. I think I made smart purchasing decisions or something?

I was actually wondering about this last night.. great news! I kind of assumed they would, but I'm more curious about the timing.

Is there any evidence that the Bionic is getting it after the RAZR? I know that kind of makes sense considering they very clearly stated that the RAZR is getting it and I'd imagine a lot of buyers are getting it under that assumption, but it would be kind of cool if the same or a close release date.

You all do realize that between the vendors and the providers, those projections rarely mean anything, right? It'll also be interesting to see how Verizon deals with an OS that will allow you to remove bloatware without even having root privileges.

It really doesn't matter if Verizon approved ICS for the Bionic or not. By the time Razr receives the update the Devs will have everything need for a stable port to the Bionic. I don't think the Thunderbolt will get ICS since HTC is still working on it's successor "Vigor" will likely receive it first.

Cool thing about this is that we know it runs well on TI SoC's so performance should be awesome whether it comes from CM or from an official update. I for one hope for CM!
I can't remember the time frame it took CM to get from froyo to gingerbread.

I think if the bionic didn't get icecream sandwich, Motorola would have things to worry about, like a bunch of disgruntled customers who may never purchase another Motorola again. By the time we get it, Google may be announce Cheeseburger(joke name for next version )

[Q] official Ice Cream Sandwich coming

A Moto employee disclosed on twitter today the Bionic will be getting ICS within 6 weeks after the OS is released. Do you believe it?

I heart Moto Might even get the xoom 2 now. Do well by me and I'll spend money with your company.
I believe they'll try and being under the Google umbrella they have the resources.

But I agree with the Xoom 2. May trade iPad for it (if its unlocked)

Also confirmed on their website, minus a precise eta.

"A note about Ice Cream Sandwich:
We are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR, Motorola RAZR, Motorola XOOM and DROID BIONIC by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices."

good news but sounds a little too good to be true imo.

Droid Life says what Motorola meant was they will have a list of their upgrade timeliness in 6 weeks. That is more believable.

The fact that the Bionic is going to get ICS is old news. There are several threads about it already.
This thread is about ICS 6 weeks after release, which has NOT been confirmed yet, depending on how you wish to interpret the latest update on the original post::
http://androidandme.com/2011/10/new...-to-ice-cream-sandwich-6-weeks-after-release/
To me it sounds like all they are doing is confirming, once again, that the Bionic is going to get ICS which we've known about for a little while now, but there isn't a set date.
Basically, what I'm saying, is there is no news here. Just a misinterpretation from androidandme which has spawned dozens of forum posts and several other websites have linked to this article claiming the same incorrect statement that dates are confirmed.

Go back and read what you originally wrote which warranted the reply it got. No one disagrees with the statement above. Futhermore, the op asked if anyone believed what was posted on Twitter, it wasn't being taken as fact. The fact of the matter is, you corrected him for no reason.
You also said this has nothing to do with our devices, which isn't true. Maybe you should go back and review what you wrote.

Ehhh I'm going to say that we'll see it sometime AROUND the 6 week mark...but probably later. I don't want to doubt Motorola, but I highly doubt they'll have a build up within 6 weeks...they said next year for the RAZR, there isn't a huge difference between it and the Bionic. But I wouldn't also be surprised if Motorola was planning on using the Bionic as a test platform so they get it right on the RAZR...fine by me, if they screw it up, someone else will get a better custom ROM out (and probably will even if they do it right anyways lol)

ics
wonder what it would look like with blur ui

hmmm, I'm happy to see that they are pushing ICS, but I worry about how long it will take them to get it to the devices they listed...

What are the expectations of an official ICS update for the Bionic?

What should we expect to see? Will there be a motoblur intergration or will it be straight up ICS?

My preference would be a non molested ICS but I'm sure we'll end up with another locked steaming turd.

Keep in mind that Google now owns Motorola Mobility... if we're lucky, that will mean a more pure version of AOSP on our devices.

I'm really hoping for an AOSP build of ICS for the bionic, I love the way AOSP looks for Android 4.0

Starting to have my doubts that we get ICS from moto.... Have a feeling our developers are gonna make it work 100% for our Bionic before moto hands it to us. If moto even does hand it to us.. For the Razr Maxx to be coming out pretty soon and not even have ICS kindof makes you wonder wth moto is even doing in motoworld.

The Xoom- a Google Experience device with reference firmware- JUST today got Android 4.0. The Nexus 2 still doesn't have it officially. These things take time. It'll be April or May before we start seeing phones that are actually being released with ICS.

Or about a month ago when the Galaxy Nexus was released...
It will take a little time for us to see it, I think. Hopefully not too long. I'm pretty sure they have officially stated that they will be releasing it for the Bionic, so I would hope they don't go back on a public announcement like that.
But, it looks like we've got devs that might get a working option for us before we get something official.

The Bionic will definitely get ICS. The phone just came out in September. Moto is pretty good with updates (usually). The Google purchase has NOT gone through yet. Will not go through til Feb supposedly.
My predictions:
-We will get it in March
-It will look pretty similar to blur as it looks now
-We will not notice much difference
-On paper second core of processor is suppose to be more optimized.

--

we are lucky that the galaxy nexus as well as the newer moto phones (Razr, Razr MAXX) all use similar hardware so getting the drivers and radios up shouldnt be to difficult.
that being said its moto's skin that'll take time so we'll see. It would only be fair that they would upgrade the Bionic "fist" but who knows what will happen. I just pray ever day for an unlocked bootloader.

I wish they would throw their skin on in a similar fashion as using go launcher with beautiful Widgets so the process would be much faster. It just seems like they're making it more difficult on themselves.

Then get a different, unlocked phone. No one wants to hear whining and not everyone cares about flashing a million roms or kernels every week.
Back on topic, I fully expect the update will include most of Moto's current modifications with maybe a few less changes from stock ICS. I'm hoping they will include the same kernel as the Razr's so we can easily overclock to 1.2 GHz like they did with the 2.2 update on the original Droid.

I ditched the Bionic for a Rezound but the Bionic definitely felt like a quick phone. I just got an ICS rom for my Rezound, it was smoking fast on GB and is much smoother with ICS. The Bionic should be very fast with ICS. Maybe they can help the camera out with ICS aswell.

I ditched as well. Sorry, the point of android is openness and MOTO bit the big one after they lied.

I actually no longer have camera problems with the liberty rom. I know the issue that you refer to as I once had it. Click the button to take a picture then wait several seconds before it actually took the picture. So inconvenient that problem was.
I'm not exactly sure what any of these newer phones can do that the bionic can't do because app developers still have to develop for the older phones because developing for the newer phones limits your user base. If your going to develop an app, you're going to develop it for as many devices as possible. By the time we start getting apps that maximize the capabilities of our phones, there will be something much better out.

The camera app problem on the bionic is totally Motorola's fault. They built the phone you would think they could write code for the hardware they chose. Again I think ICS will do wonders for the bionic. It felt like they rushed it out so they could finish the razr. Given that razr and the bionic are so similar, ICS should come much sooner for you guys.

I agree that Motorola screwed this phone up. I no longer have the camera issue with the liberty rom.
Even with all the screw ups Motorola made, I was still able to get my bionic running top notch, even without the .901 radio.
The biggest problem this phone had was after it got delayed by so much, and the hype it had, it shouldn't have had some of its initial problems. Its not like we didn't all know about this phone for 8 months before being released. Don't hype up a phone so much then fail to deliver. Even with their screw ups, I feel I have mine running as good as you can expect an android to run. I've had the thunderbolt and revolution and the bionic is far better than they were.

I hear you. The Tbolt was a dog. I am very glad I got rid of the bionic but it was much better than the Tbolt.
sent from my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus

There's nothing out there that I feel that is worth getting rid of the bionic for. The nexus has plenty compatibility issues with running some apps (majority of Samsung phones do though) and the razr is too skinney for my taste plus I feel the marginal increase in it's specs aren't worth it. I also don't like the 3 button setup on the nexus. I'm too used to having 4 and using the 4 for so long to change my way.
We have quad core coming between now and summer that will blow everything away that's out now. Dont see any sense in replacing my phone for something that is only marginally better. Every Android has its problems and the ones I have with the bionic are manageable for me.
The only thing I could see me trading my bionic is if there is a significant increase in the app development world where more processing power is necessary. But with the fragmentation of android, an app developer would be dumb to do that because as an app developer, you want your app to be compatible with as many devices as possible. I can see some games coming out that may need more processing power though. Its only a matter of time before we start seeing PlayStation 2 emulators popping up.

Has anyone seen any news on weather or not we will be getting ics for our DROID 3? Not cm9 but the official. I poke around twitter and google but can't find anything new, its all outdated.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

Motorola does not list the Droid 3 on any of their roadmaps...it is like they just forgot about the device.
I would not hold my breath but at this point there is no official response in ether direction.

We are all waiting for Motorola to issue some updates... I think they are going to make the announcements all at the same time, of which phones will and won't make the upgrade.
D3 is in good shape though, it runs almost the same CPU and GPU as Galaxy Nexus, just has half the memory. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Even if Moto and Verizon don't officially give ICS to the D3, you can bet that shortly after they release it for either the Razr or Bionic that it will be ported in it's "blurred" setup to the D3.

Keep in mind that if they don't release it for the Droid 3, the "ported" version based from those won't get the new kernel that those devices get along with their ICS upgrade...

If they release just one of the phones Hash supports for ICS with a camera, that is all we really need anyway.

I wonder if they had to build their new blur before making the actual ICS builds for their phones.
Still I'm happy that they have at least acknowledged that the D3 might get updated to ICS maybe someday possibly a remote chance.

Interesting...the Motorola Razr is in "Development" status but the Droid Razr is still only "Evaluation and Planning" stage....
Verizon must be a big part of the problem....as even the 3G Xoom's are "Evaluation and Planning" while the WiFi Xoom already has it (and non-us WiFi are in Development).

I noticed the same thing... It looks like for the first time Canada might be getting something quicker than the US... (At least in the RAZR ICS upgrade department).
All I care about is that the RAZR upgrade code leaks so that way we can get the cameras working within CM9, then maybe I'll jump ship from stock.

that still really doesn't help as Hashcode has pointed out the dependencies the ICS camera has on the ION driver inside the ICS kernel....which are not present in the Gingerbread kernel that will still be running on the Droid 3 with CM9.
These dependencies won't go away on a Razr ICS camera....as the kernel will be getting updated along with the OS when they push it out.

I agree. All Verizon dual-core phones - even the Bionic, Razr series and D4 - are the same status. I think that Verizon's approval process and bloatware install requirements have become too unpredictable to allow for a definitive upgrade period.

It wouldn't surprise me if a working ics blur rom existed at moto and was stable. The hurdle has always been verizon. I can't understand the forced bloat concept considering most users don't use it and will root now to rid themselves of it.

New leaked dates for ICS

So I just found a leaked screen shot of Verizon's upgrade schedule to ICS!
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/04/verizon-ic-update-schedule-leaked/
So the HTC Rezound should get the OTA next week on May 9th. The RAZR and RAZR MAXX will be getting the OTA in three weeks. But no mention of the Bionic... Oh yea, they decided to give us the .904 update while they finalized ICS for the newer phones. We just got shafted again.
Then again, its tough to know what is actually going on because they have to keep everything confidential. I doubt this would be case but if VZW and MOTO were having issues with ICS on the Bionic, I would have no problem giving them more time to make it right. But from what we've seen, it doesn't appear to be that innocent.

You do realize that we are a low priority because the phone isn't selling well, right? RAZR's the front-runner, making it a priority. We'll get ours by July, if we're lucky.
And yes, I am being a little pessimistic, but Motorola and Verizon need to step up their game already. Moto's making too many devices and Verizon's forcing bloat too much. That's what is slowing us down.

re
I don't understand what is really taking that long. Development will continue on the latest and greatest but that doesn't mean we should get the shaft. I picked the bionic over the thunderbolt because I like the slightly thinner phone and longer screen even though it cost more.didn't think I would be buying a dead phone in terms of development. I should have just got the razr
I have Rooted 904 update Safestrap dual boot eclipse 2.2

My view is the Bionic is a phone they would prefer to forget. The Razrs are the hot phones so they get the priority. Maybe I woukd complain much more without ICS ROMs available.

It's interesting that on Moto's site the RAZR's are all listed as ICS upgradeable but the Bionic is not.??

The ICS source code was released a little over a month ago, that helped out the devs. We have a solid device for the price and we have devs good enough to keep us happy and get us through until mid to late summer when we get the real thing.

ICS source was released 6 months ago. That doesn't help matters since we don't have an official release, an unlocked bootloader, or a real ICS kernel, however.
