Looks legit. Flashable with stock recovery?
Edit: http://twitter.com/P3Droid/statuses/256917817243361281 @ArtemR drop file on external sdcard, reboot to recovery, install update.zip. Boom done, takes a long time though be patient.
Anyone tried this yet? On stock retail version? Sounds amazing reading his twitter

It is not official. I cheesecaked this build and uploaded to my filefactory
It will install on retail devices but there is not a good chance of returning back to stock ICS without retail Verizon fastboot files.
So far it seems very very fast, and not too many bugs. It does use AOSP soft keys, which is different from the normal ICS. Google Now works fine too.

Well, it's official (created by Verizon/Motorola), just not final.
I'm not too familiar with Motorola devices - do the fastboot files have to be higher version than this update or any version (like ICS) to restore to stock?

Everyone's has their own definition of official I guess.
I cannot say because the filesystem doesn't exactly have a cdt.bin to check the secure version, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't down-gradable. About 2 weeks ago I found a downgrade for JB to ICS but never got that ICS to JB.

By the way if anybody installs please post some screenshots. I really hope they made the notification bar more aosp-like when WiFi is on. Signal bars should stay blue and the 4g symbol should be gone (or, on the i, the worthless gap between the grey signal bars and the blue WiFi icon should be gone).
Would also love it if they let us customize the lock screen shortcuts.

I sure hope RAZR i Jellybean is incoming, I think they said by the end of the year as well. I haven't seen evidence of any Jellybean builds for us on XT890 (RAZR i) yet, maybe soon?

Running like a champ on mine. Not a developer version. Snappy like the nexus on bean. Build date is October 12. Who knows, maybe the HD is launching with jellybean and they are preparing the m as well?

Jellybean is still going to be an OTA on the HD, but will be out before the year ends officially according to Moto.

I did take the risk without fast boot. I am hoping that will become available soon enough. Either way, after using it I would still do out again. I'm getting the HD when it launches so it will be a short lived choice. I do like the form factor of this phone though. And I missed Google now from my rooted Maxx. Regardless do you think this phone will get another major update beyond jellybean? Maybe the incremental 4.2, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Hi, So as many of you have heard/read, it looks like the GS2 will be getting ICS soon (possibly in a couple of weeks). That version will probably by 4.0.3 or .4 My question is where is the nexus update? At this rate the GS2 will have a better version of ICS.
I am day one Nexus purchaser. I have owned the G1, N One, Nexus S, And Now GN.
But out of all the phones I have bought, this phone is by far the worst experience. Frankly its because of all the things google said would be fixed with ICS and the fact that the other phones did not have glaring issues at launch. The browser lags, battery life is just OK, this app switch button lags really badly (yes 1-3 sec is bad Lag in this case) and so on and so on.
It bugs me that 4.0.3 and .4 fix this and the GS2 might have it before, but we haven't gotten it yet. I feel like I am using beta software cause there are so many things that need to be fixed in 4.0.2.
I never recall Apple releasing a software this messed up. And they usually have updates out relatively quick. Also Do not tell me to flash some rom, I do not feel comfortable doing so with a $600 phone nor should I be fixing the problems with this device.
I just feel like google needs to come out and say when they will update their phones. Give a timeline and if it needs to take longer to finish,then there is nothing you can do about it, but do not release software that has some glaring issues with it. Trust me if the nexus release in January as opposed to NOV-DEC. I think almost everyone would have still bought it.
Thats the end of my rant
Thanks!
P.S. I am ready for any and all flaming.
The SGS2's ICS will blow, it will be the same old TW garbage. Most of the leaked alphas/betas have been 4.0.3 fwiw. Each of them had pretty large issues of their own and if the final release is bug free I'll be really, really....really shocked.
I heard it was coming out tomorrow, since I already have 4.0.4 I won't get the update to share though. You know why Apple doesn't have to update so much? When they release, it's already outdated hardware and software (but it's thoroughly tested).
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
if you want 4.0.3 download a custom ROM. You buy a 'developer' phone then complain that it has issues... The Galaxy Nexus will be updated in due time.
Being a custom ROM is always nicer than stock especially since our phones only run AOSP. Anything added over what Google only makes our device better.
Didn't we just have this thread? *eyeroll*
If the best thing you can find to troll about is the fact that the S2 is *finally* getting ICS when us Gnex owners have had it since last November, and the S2 *might possibly* have a newer version for a few weeks, after which you probably won't see even bug fix updates for six months or more... I think you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, mate.

Come on....just sell the GNex buy SGSII if it makes you happy

Last time I checked, I've been running 4.0.3 for a while now....how about you? Lol
Touchwiz + ICS is a ugly experience. At least on the leak builds I've used on my Epic 4g Touch. Plus what Samsung does and what Google does is too different things.
Your talking about a phone that been out for almost 2 years n comparing it to a phone that only been out since Nov of last year. The GS2 deserves it update since its been on the market longer .
Like I said Touchwiz just don't look right on ICS. Matter of fact any skin don't look right on ICS

4.0.3 for the Gnex is here
You're welcome.
I think he's damn right. Don't tell me to flash a ROM on my GN made by some "dude" because that ROM is better then the one provided by Google engineers lol
I've bought the GN for the same reason most of us have - Timely Updates . Not to say I didn't think there would be a version updated by Samsung and one updated by Google...:|
Not to say the Nexus S users (most of them) are waiting for their updates too.

Yea because 4.0.3 is made by "some dude". If he is unable or too afraid to flash 4.0.3 then he can wait until Google officially releases it as OTA. 4.0.3 is available for flashing, if he chooses not to flash it then I don't want to hear any complaining.
The sgs2 is a joke BTW.

Lmao. Have you seen ics on the SGSII it has tw over it. Nothing will be a major upgrade. It will still look like this but have 4.0.x on the about screen. Big deal. The development over in that section is dead anyway. They pick up one new dev and boot 2.
I went from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4. Back to 4.0.3 we are still winning

Coming from an SGS2 I can tell you the only thing which is good on this phone is the 720p screen, but it can't playback 720p movies.
The camera of the s2 was much better but I don't take a lot of pictures so I don't care.
And I don't know why but this phone lags a lot, but it doesn't have freezes nor random reboots
And last but not least, battery life was excellent on the SGSII, I could easily make it through a day, the battery life of the GN is much worse!
So please think twice before saying the SGSII is a joke because at some points it is even superior to the Galaxy Nexus! But I love this 720p screen so much that's why I keep it!
Does the numerical value of the OS you're using really mean that much to you? What major features are you desperately missing in going from .2 to .3? If someone repackaged a 4.0.2 update and renamed it 4.0.5, I guarantee you wouldn't know the difference. In fact you would probably brag how much smoother and more battery efficient it is.

The Galaxy Nexus isn't a 'developer' phone, that's exactly why you put developer in quotes. Technically it might have been made with developers in mind but you can buy a Galaxy Nexus in a brick and mortar store right alongside every other Android device with no special membership, card or secret handshake required. So the Galaxy Nexus cannot be forgiven any faults because it's a developer phone - I didn't get this thing for free at Google I/O did I?
Anyway, I agree with the OP so much. Even though the main reason I sold my SGS2 was to get ICS, I don't really care if the SGS2 is getting ICS 3 months later. I just want my Nexus to get OTA updates when they are supposed to be out, I don't want to be discriminated because I bought my phone in country X or from carrier Y and be stuck in the past while more special Nexus' are getting updates.

Why? You can't handle someone not sharing your opinion on a device and then sharing those views online?
We aren't slaves to these corporations. We don't sell a device we own at a loss, pick up a new device, find out it's not exactly as advertised so then we can go back tail between our legs. We pay good money and we have the right to be critical.

That's not the point of this thread, I'm sure most people buy a Nexus device specifically because they are not interested in unofficial/custom ROMs.

I know this just shows the pessimist in me (or what I feel about VZW's track record, because I think it would be more them than HTC), but also from that blog:
"For more background, due to how storage on the HTC Desire HD is partitioned – and the larger size of Android 4.0 – it would require re-partitioning device storage and overwriting user data in order to install this update. While technically advanced users might find this solution acceptable, the majority of customers would not. We also considered ways to reduce the overall size of the software package, but this would impact features and functionality that customers are currently using. Even after installing the update, there were other technical limitations which we felt negatively impacted the user experience."
Is Verizon willing to lose some stupid bundled apps to make sure it can fit on our Dinc2? I imagine they could save plenty of space by not bundling NFL Mobile, etc...
My 2 cents.

kernel source from oem's is a murky proposition at best....ideally source would be available as soon as an update is out, but htc hides behind their typical (90-120 days after release) window....though (thunderbolt gb update) they have released source on the same day as an update
i have no idea why they pull this, since theres nothing to change/add to the kernel since its already released, but there isnt much to do on our end...short of suing them
so idk

Well for one DesireHD is not the Incredible S/2. Second, it's not about your or me or this site it's about the larger customer base so HTC is acting in best interest of their own company to not release something that could make a lot (more than here, rootz, ac, etc) of people pissed off. Always keep in mind we are the smaller,much smaller, segment of a larger industry.

Also keep on mind that that larger user base usually doesn't know what software version their phone has and they probably think GB is the latest since their phone says up to date if they check under software updates. It's true that we're a smaller segment of a larger group, but we're the ones that keep up with this kind of stuff and actually care about updates on time. Other users could care less as long as their phone gets the job done.

I get that, but don't promise something you can't deliver... It turns me off of both HTC and vzw more than if they would have said, "we'll research it and see if we can."

Well Verizon or HTC haven't said anything about the Inc2 since the initial memo. Again going by e DesireHD is wrong since its not the same phone. Verizon or HTC saying "well research and see" would still cause you to be mad. If the IncS got it the Inc2 should be getting it they're identical phones for the most part.
Well it looks like the Merge 4.0 is not very hot. It has gotten few hits and even fewer downloads. I am thinking that yall dont want a Sense 3.0 rom. So how about a worked over Sense 3.5? Give it all the love that The Team With No Name gives all their roms so you have the smoothest and fastest that can be offered.
So give me your thoughts and lets see what greatness we can come up with.
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness
As you know brother,things arent like they were 7 months to a year ago when things were hoppin',we only have a handful of people(members,not devs)running around here in the forum and most are little brothers that just got a hand-me-down phone from big brother,we as devs are pushing out the roms thats for sure and from what i hear,the ole OG is getting 70% of the action on XDA as far as rom developing goes,so thats great,but we cant expext a million hits witin a couple days or even months,its just simply dead as far as members go,just sayin'.Everyones upgrading.4 Kornerz Ultimate will be my last rom for the EVO,just going out in style.
I've only been around for a couple of months but i love being able to customize my phone. I stumbled upon this messing around with my old/new hero (running 4.1.2!! used as a droid-pod) and immediately got a evo 4g. I have about 30 nandroids of roms currently running dirty diablo, which rocks. Knowing i have all functions using gb roms, i use jb/ics as dd's and just to show off to my buddies that have s3's. I have downloaded Merge 4 and in the process of wiping now. I appreciate all the hard work "both" of yall do.
which device you headed to next?
I am wanting another cdma htc just not sure which one. Mostly depends on price of used one with bad esn and development.
As far as hits yes I know there are fewer and fewer users every day but Dirty Diablo has taken off pretty good so far. I have almost 50 dl for the newest upload already compared to the 1 on Merge 4.0. I have to at least get my 4g gingerbread miui out along with the new Jelly MIUI JLM First Edition before I can even think about calling a halt to my evo.
Oh, off subject again but whats going on with the Aamikams 2.1/3.0 i saw? That looks great?

Which one was that? Name doesn't ring a bell off the bat. Might be because I have been working on Jelly MIUI JLM First Edition since 7:30 this morning. Beta release later today or tomorrow.

The red themed rom that diablo posted? i grabbed it from his other sites roms. also got merge 4 booted and it is fast. running smooth. very nice
Well thanks glad you like it. It was one of my first roms I flashed back in '11. I was not too bad back then either except all the launcher redraws any time you opened any app or another screen besides the launcher it would redraw. That got old real quick but thankfully you wont have that problem. Plus you should get pretty good battery life with that rom. I was tweaked to give you the best battery life and still be fast as possible.
Diablo since it was brought up what about the other nands you wanted to turn into roms. I should be able to turn around about 2 of those a day now that I got the procedures down. You can go out with both guns blazing! Ultimate 4kornerz and Dirty Diablo are not a bad exit plan either if you want to go out that way.

I see quite a few of the OG peeps in the SG3 forums.
You guys still keep popping out rom after rom for the EVO keeping it alive and going.
So hope you guys make it to my side. Because I would definitely flash one of your roms on my SG.
Keep up the good work bros. :good:
I have been thinking about getting another phone but not sure what I want. Since I use cricket it has to be a cdma phone which makes them cheaper on ebay. Bad ESN good price break for me. Who know where I will end up. I kind of like the hTC phones. Something about the sense launcher just keeps bringing me back. Plus if I get another htc phone I can have another shot and merging the sense launcher into miui. I was very close to having it done on the 3vo and then I broke up with my girlfriend who I had bought it for.
I can't keep up with all the Roms here its great to have so many options unlike some other older devices.

Even if we don't get the official update Kitkat will work in our phones. I am running the AOSP build and it works fine. The only issue by now is the camera autofocus, it works in the first time after a reboot and the pictures that I got are way better than the camera of the LG stock ROM, when I close the camera and open it again the autofocus doesn't work. As soon as the developers fix the autofocus issue the AOSP build will be perfect.

True, but the point is that the 4.4 build by Houstonn can also be used successfully on Canadian and international models. As I understand from the original thread, you can also get a 13MP camera working. I haven't tried that ROM, and have no intention to try it at this time, so I can't comment on how well it works, but people seem to be happy with it...

It works very well. To get 13mp just use focal camera. Theres no bugs for me. Only the autofocus.... Besides that its very stable!

If they don't bring 4.4 to Optimus G, I will NEVER EVER BUY any LG device REGARDLESS of it being a Nexus device, or a smartphone. I will NEVER EVER TOUCH any LG device ONCE AGAIN. Even if they fix their problems with the UPDATES.
You're right. If galaxy s3 got 4.3 already and it will get 4.4 and xperia z have 4.4 official announced by sony... f**k lg. they are the worst at this. i planned to buy a nexus 5... but i won't because i hate lg. so my next phone will be the galaxy s5 or the next htc ... we'll see in 3,4 months.
for sure.. i will buy the first nexus that will be released by another producer than lg.

that not gonna change anything LG is sucks for software support and everybody on this planet need to boycott them, to change something. LGOG is perfect phone but it need update, that say also gsmarena, but LG does not care to customers
And then it starts again...
People hiiting the roof and getting on the boycott train when the slightest rumor of lack of an update is popping up...
If the official update are so important for you, you should get a Nexus or an iPhone...
Don't get me wrong, I'd realy like an OEM kit kat rom but if they don't provide any, I'll just install a custom rom and be done with it...
And my next will, for sure, be a Nexus device!
yes, i like stock too
but 4.1.2 make our great G OLD!!!!!
i like lg ui, but our ui on g is not finished, this 5 qslide apps are a joke....
who will start a petition and share it in all Forums (att, sprint, canadia, domcon) and all land-forums (france, china, brasil, german,....) ??????????
and all LG Forum!! its a theme, wich goes to all LG user!
LG G2 and all newer phone must do a petition!!!!
How can LG be so dumb?
f*ck LG )
I am an indian user of LG and today i got a software update available pop up.. eagerly i updated and seen just a 61mb update which came with play games app. othr than that nothing changed. v10E to v10F after 6 months i m getting it. still LG cooking 4.1.2 means when they ll start 4.4 or even atleast 4.2 or 4.3 ????

yeah but why i get so good phone performance if they don't want to support them with software? every single custom rom has some bug, and that why i don't want to use custom rom. Ok I support u for nexus or iphone but why LG give one rom update and than stop to support that phone? why S2 got from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 update? why we can not get 4.4 or higher update? is that a problem or to much money to spend? I don't understand, if u have phenom x4 why to be on windows 98 when u can be on win 8 that is point of this story and LG is crap with updates. We only have 4.1.2, HTC one X have 4.2.2 now samsung gonna have 4.3 and we r still trapped with 4.1

Do you expect me to answer to this?
First, I don't work for LG, I'm not gonna talk about reasons LGOG has or doesn't has updates. I did all that I could: Contact LG Support. If you are at least serious with your "demand", you should contact THEM first. Either trough the facebook page or over the support.
I am nonetheless deceived IF we don't have any more updates, but I've been deceived in the past so, once bitten, twice shy! But I don't EXPECT any company (from now on) other than Google or Apple to provide fast update. That's the reason I'm gonna get exclusively Nexus devices from now on.
As for the bugs on custom builts; even OEM builts will have bugs. It's how technology works... Nexus have bugs, iOs have bugs, nothing is "bug free". But, as far as CM10.2 is conscern, I have Bluetooth, wifi, sync, I haven't tryed NFC, but I beleive it works. I'm using CM10.2 as daily since a whyle and it's pretty much stable.

I already contacted them month ago, and they said that they don't know when will be any update for our phone, and they told me that if gonna be any update first will be 4.2.2
I contacted them few days again and same answer. Because of that my opinion is that they r suck with software support.
Do not think that I mock u or something like that, on the cotrary i support u for nexus or apple, but it is sucks to give 300 euro for phone without good software support. that is all my talk
I just got my Pixel XL and it's already updated to Android 7.1.1 so does this mean I cannot unlock the bootloader anymore? I read somewhere that once you have done the update you can no longer unlock the bootloader and it doesn't matter if I revert back to 7.1 or 7.0 once the updates done it's been patched.. I didn't read that here it was on another android website i was just browsing around and decided I'd come here and ask and see if I can get a definitive answer.

If you want to unlock your boot loader and your on 7.1.1 you might want to take back your VZ sourced Pixel and get one direct from Google. I'm not saying it can't be unlocked, I just don't think there is enough of an audience to make it worth a Developer's time.

Yes but you unlocked prior to 7.1.1 or bought directly from Google. If your phone comes from VZ with 7.1.1 you can't unlock it as far as I know.
It's cool I will just either wait for a new exploit to be found or something or just forever be stuck with a locked bootloader it's so dumb too ALLL i wanted to do was change the default system emojis but can't even do that w/o root.. it really makes me wonder why they lock all the customization behind root access or the developers @ Android are hella stupid.. should be able to make changes to icons, UI in general and anything else that doesn't directly affect the phone..
I understand Verizon doesn't want people modding their phones and possibly doing something malicious on or to their network or having to deal with someone calling about how their phone doesn't work correctly when they arn't even using the same version of Android as the phone is suppose to have or what ever other reasons they have for not wanting people to be able to flash their phones etc.. but you'd think being able to change default system emojis or something else super basic/simple like why?? why can't they just allow for total customization and it'd fix a lot of these problems of people wanting to root their devices..

So, I just got off the phone with Google and they are sending me RMA label so I can ship them my Verizon Pixel and they'll send me a Pixel directly from Google.. Unfortunately it'll be refurbished though.. But as long as it comes directly from Google it doesn't matter which Android version... I can still unlock right?
Yes, if you buy from Google the phone can be unlocked no matter what version of Android it comes with.

So you were able to just boot with no sim, skip the wifi, enable usb debugging, and then follow the steps at http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html? I'm crossing my fingers, I've been stuck with an LG G4 for about two years and it's been killing me not having bootloader access

I bought it through Verizon to trade in my phone. I was under the impression that I could unlock the bootloader, provided my phone came with 7.1.0. However it took them like two and a half months to ship, so it came with 7.1.1
