Hey,

In GalaxyICS [Current version whatever it is] most of the available options for dsp are quite terrible

MusicFX Doesn't even work at all, not even in Apollo

DSP Manager works but it is NOWHERE near as good as it is in Android 2.3 roms

Equalizer works, but it still has the same issue

The DSP is either weak, or it has this persistent boost in the 500hz to 2khz range, giving it a bad "radio" effect. I've tested this on multiple headsets and and earplugs\earbuds but they all have this annoying gain?

Either way, it's disappointing because all of those options sounded really good.

Also, DSP Manager doesn't work with anything but Apollo.

[To hear this for yourself, play any song in Windows Media Player that you are VERY familiar with and boost 500hz to 2khz in the equalizer].

And no, my ears aren't just "sensitive" to this range, because all other roms and non-android devices I have don't sound like that.

Instagram allows you to take photo, apply a digital filter on it and then share it to social networking services and Instagram itself.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
hmm.. so i flashed the brazil firmware fastboot and brazil ics update, but now i have the rogers fastboot and rogers ics update ... any way for me to go back to rogers? i know id have to flash the GB rogers fastboot but i dont think that'll flash over top of the Brazil ICS ...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Yes, it's possible. All you need is a patched boot.img and system_signed from previous GB 2.3.6 rogers. The same to Fido users.

Any case, why do you want the Rogers/Fido bloatware? The canadian build of the system is exactly the same as Latam retail.

I'd move from Brazil to Rogers/Fido if it was another build, despite all the bloats carries pushes.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] big_raji:
Very simple and clear instructions for even a noob user. Thanks!

I just picked up a Razr for my gf last night from a kijiji user that wasn't aware that ICS was out, and decided to do this update. I guess I could have just installed CWM and manually installed the zip, but your instructions were pretty damn easy too. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
thanks,

id just prefer a stock, clean version of the phone ( I know it sounds hypocritical of me considering i am on a brazil rom currently)

is this easy to downgrade? where can i get the needed files and how do i go about flashing it?

thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Hi!

You have all the files you need available. You have to follow these instructions to patch a boot.img from your ota file.

I'm pretty sure the OP knows how to build a boot.img patched for Fido and Rogers and delivery for users. (@OP This script can be used to do this. Just change the boot.img patched and the system_signed from respective carriers and rename it.)

I'd like to do that, but sounds kinda invasive from me you know.

Meanwhile, you can apply patch yourself with the above instructions.

BTW, you'll need the rogers firmware to rsd lite flash and the boot.img patched from your ota. The same for fido users.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
thanks for the information, but ive never done any of that stuff before and kind of don't want to attempt it . having already almost bricked my phone once before i really dont want to take that chance again

maybe ill stick to brazil firmware lol

thanks!

Hi mattlgroff, can i just use CWM to flash the zip file? I am actually rooted and has CWM now running Rogers' 2.3.6?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoulGraphicsBrand:
Sorry for the offtopic but if I patch the boot.img of the brazilian rom can flash it in order to update the kernel on my entire European device?

Right now I have the EU ICS Stock ROM May 22 as first system and Rom Project Epsilon Beta 1 based on the Brazilian as a second system ... but the nandroid not update the kernel...

If I flash the boot.img patched I bricking my device? I need to make the method of mmcblk1p18 block hack is needed or not ¿?

thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
I can't get the update to work, the bar progresses to about 1/3rd the way through then restarts, any ideas whats going on?

EDIT: Tried using CWM to install, won't open the update file due to an error (something about Spyder), I'm starting to think this update wasn't for us, isn't the Spyder the XT912?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djbuan:
Tried CWM and yes, it doesnt work due to the same error. are you rooted?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Of course CWM does not work to install this!

This is a signed update for recovery. Please read the instructions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
I followed your steps to the letter, still fails 1/3rd the way through every time
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mathieu2k4:
I downoladed the file on my sd card, Tried with the method explaned, but I was unable to open the update file with rom manager in es file explorer.

Then I uninstalled bootstrap, remplaced logwrapper,

I had a backup of root, but forget to temporarly unroot

Forgot to unfroze too some apps

Without thinking too much I went in stock recovery and updated the file from sd and it worked.

Rebooted, updating apps, and now i'm on ICS
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djbuan:
How do you uninstall the bootstrap?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mathieu2k4:
I just uninstalled the app in the drawer and deleted logwrapper and renamed logwrapper.bin to logwrapper in system\bin\
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
This worked perfectly for me. Installed using stock recovery and removed CWM/bootloader using these directions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20447149&postcount=47

Be verrrrry careful following those directions, one wrong delete/rename can brick your phone. Running ICS! Thanks OP!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
so im trying to do this, but heres the problem.

rsd won't let me flash the Rogers 2.3.6 because im on the Brazil ICS

how can i downgrade?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
Hi sorry, I am just confusing the "DOWNLOAD THE ICS UPDATE ZIP AND PLACE INTO YOUR PHONES /CACHE DIRECTORY (not /system/cache, but in the root of the phone"

so I should put the file into root/ ?

or root/cashe ?( my root folder is empty so just creat a new folder called cashe?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
holy SHIET. this is GOOD STUFF.

now, quick questions:

1. does this reset or wipe out current settings or sdcard?

2. do i need to defrost the Rogers crapware?

root is /

root is not a folder named 'root'

so using ES FX, go up to / and u will see lotsa stuff. one of it is the cache folder. go there. it will be /cache. put it there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Skeleton73:
Awesome OP, thank you muchly!

One question though, which way to Root again? Seems I lost it even thought I used rootkeeper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
The 4.0.4 Root by Dan Rosenberg works.

http://goo.im/apps/mattlgroff/DroidRazrRoot404.zip

I am putting this in the OP now. I couldn't find a link to his root so I just remade it quickly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
1. This does not wipe SD card. You do not have to wipe data. I recommend it though.

2. Yes. My tester had to.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
Thanks a lot for your reply,, just tried to flash it, but it just reboot, did not do the update. not sure if I need to restore my system before do the flash...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Please be on stock 3331 before attempting. No frozen apps, deleted bloat, etc.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
Thanks for your reply. yes mine is on 3331 right now. maybe i have too many apps？ i will try to do a flash rst 2.3.6 tonight and do the whole process again and see
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Having too many apps won't be the issue, but the RSD will fix it :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Wow, mattlgroff! What a big catch today! 3 huge LATAM fishes and EU one upcoming (for sure)!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
I think he is pulling one EU right now he showed me in PM
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cdncraig:
Works great!

I followed the steps provided, almost to a tee, and 15 minutes later... ICS :)

Only problem I ran into, was after the installation, on reboot, 146 applications were optimized and then froze when trying to initiate. Had to do a hard reboot, and voila... ICS RUNNING PERFECT. Everything works great, with the exception of stock gallery, shuts down when trying to access 'My Library'. not a concern because I use QuickPic anyway. So far no other issues.. Motocast still works great.

Thanks for posting this, I was getting extremely impatient waiting for Rogers to actually send out the update!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Skeleton73:
Thank you! Works like a freakin charm! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
Been running it since yesterday, completely flawless. Camera looks exceptionally beautiful. The only thing I wondered about was what happened to the task manager from GB? I know you could set it to auto-end apps after the display was shut off. I've noticed in ICS there is no such thing, apps keep running in the background no matter what. Slows the phone down a tad having them all running

EDIT: Also loved the ability to disable the bloat
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
Has anyone got base system sbf file for this leak? I would like to try it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
aw damn i use My Library extensively :mad:

goin to do it this long weekend. installed holo launcher couple days ago and lovin the ICS look and smoothness so im not in a rush lol.

am interested in battery life though.

any other comments/concerns with this leak?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] menthex:
Amazing, much much better than GB - finally a workable version of Android! Running smoothly for the last three days.

Went through some hoops to install the update - my own fault though.

First try it didn't work then realized that the CWM/bootstrap has to be removed first. So applied the removal patch (RAZR-CWMOnBoot-Remove-J.Y.Daddy.zip) - still didn't work. Then followed the removal instruction on this page http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20447149&postcount=47

Didn't realize that the first patch probably already deleted the file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode - I deleted it and couldn't find the mot_boot_mode.bin to replace the original file. BRICKED the phone!

Fortunately, someone has posted the fastboot file the Rogers 2.5.6 GB. So did a fastboot flash and of course got the "batt low" error! More hoops to jump through. Had to trick the phone first by booting with the wall charger attached to get "batt OK". Another hurdle - RSDlite kept on failing! Finally, in the end had to use the RSDlite alterantive "Fla****" and successfully flashed the 2.5.6 back into the RAZR. Then applied the ICS update using stock recovery - installed directly from SD card. Voila running ICS and lovin' it.

So just be very very careful if you're removing CWM and if in an unfortunate event that your Razr got bricked - breathe, it can be fixed - fastboot it with RSDlite and if that doesn't work use Fla****. It's definitely worth the trouble.

The stock gallery - my library is working fine for me. Maybe because I virtually did a clean install - ICS OTA on a freshly fastbooted GB. Everything is running smoothly with the exception of a few apps that I had that doesn't seem to support Android ICS yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
getting back to official release?

Will there be a way to get back on the official release path? (if it ever come:confused:)

really interested in doing this!! but don't want to screw everything up...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
couldn't help it. i flashed mine. i already have ES File Exp and already set all the rules as my home dir is root.

just need to grab the file, install Rom manager, click OK, use Rom Manager, and voila! bada bing bada boom. easy peasy.

and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW this **** is slick lol

its just nice. smoother. slicker. faster. it even stays rooted.

only issue is my Titanium Backup pro doesn't work? it needs root permission? :( huh? i AM rooted, that's how i have SU icon and ES FX still browse to root. and CPU Tuner too. what gives?? :(

everything else is ok though, Gallery works fine. (phew!)

Thanks again Matt!!!

update: yknow what, i dont think im rooted. i didnt reset anything so that's why the icon still there and the app still works. but if i clear out the apps list and load up my apps, they all got auto-denied. even after clearing all cache and data from the superuser app.

ok now i just need to get back rooted :)

which is best for post-ICS-update??

update: found the 2 links in OP. the "ualreadyhavesu" (and i do!) doesn't work. the batch completes succesfully, but all rooted apps still get auto-denied... :( even after setting it to auto-accept.

update: tried the "(haventgotsu)" one and nope. still gets auto-denied LOL... maybe ill just reset the damn thing.

update: ooooooooh nvm. i set it to auto-accept and now it just works! funny... now to turn auto-accept OFF! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scotja50:
how can i use RSD to flash this on?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
This is OTA update. It cannot be flashed via RSD. Read OP instructions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scotja50:
Thank you for that info!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stangri:
Has anyone been able to migrate from either of the LATAM ICS OTAs to this one? I'm guessing since the recovery is already in place all it would take is to flash the base system and the patched boot file and then the OTA can be flashed from stock recovery.

I don't have the time to backup my phone before wiping it clean ATM, but I can post patched boot file if anyone's willing to take the risk.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Your link for patched boot will be highly appreciated! Currently I'm running Claro leak bit I'd love to try Rogers one. Btw Claro leak has newer radio.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stangri:
OK, so the original boot files and the patch files from the OTA are exactly the same for Fido and Rogers, so you'd only need one patched boot file for both. I have however made the two of them.

Not sure if you'd also need a patched recovery (well, you might). If you see any errors on flashing with just patched boot and base system image, I'd try wiping data/cache and flashing the patched LATAM recovery just in case. If that doesn't work, try reverting back to LATAM ICS as we have both patched boot and recovery for it.

PS. Make sure to wipe everything before you try to flash the OTA on your LATAM ICS.

PPS. Just to be clear the list of steps is:

Copy the OTA file from OP to the sdcard-ext

Reboot in Fastboot

Flash the base system image

Flash the patched boot file

[OPTIONAL] Flash the patched recovery file

Reboot in Recovery

Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik in Recovery

Flash OTA thru Recovery

i followed all the instructions: i removed cwm on boot and cwn recovery all together then i did a factory reset after backing up apps with titanium backup then followed the easy steps and phone reboots at 1/3 of the process im on 3331 just in case anyone asks

any help?

thx :)

hey tried to flash this onto my razr with the steps provided , obviously didnt read them well enough, I bricked my phone! it would not boot now it cant get to a screen where it will take the charge! good thing rogers does the advanced exchange. new one on its way that will be fresh. just have to try again!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stangri:
Well, that makes me want to stay on the LATAM ICS leak then... Battery life is a bit better than with GB and I haven't experienced any of the crashes/freezes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
OK, a little bit of good news................

I did 2 things: factory reset and disable CPU Tuner (to downclock CPU when battery is low and when the screen is off)

Here are the new findings:

+ After 2 days, homescreen never crashed or freeze. not even once.

- ...although the phone resets itself once this morning.

+ unlocking is way smoother now. with CPU tuner disabled, (i think) it's even better.

+ motorola.friendfeed has not been a CPU hogger. i havent freeze it with TiBackup, but I did disable the "Display Friends' Activities" in My Gallery - and yes, I have entered my facebook/linkedin/twitter/picasa/youtube credential. im checking this with the CPU overlay. but i havent entered my Motocast login... since i never use it anyway...

and then...

- camera apps are still slower

- my gallery thumbnail pics still loads slow

- battery is still crappy. see thread in General forum for discussion. i used Battery Calibration app and its 4200+ at 100%, but now 10% is still 3562mV.... 16hr after 100% charge. wtf is this? oh well, people say it will get better so i still have my hopes up.

So far all the officially released ICS updates also came in as the fastboot-flashable images. If you're having trouble running the ICS leak update I suggest you wait until ICS fastboot files also become available for Canada and/or flash the fastboot LATAM retail ICS in the mean time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
Thx for trying to help but this is the latam stock firmware not the rogers one
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Lol, this is the only Rogers XML firmware for your phone available. It's called "Rogers bla-bla-bla". I flashed it once. It's 2.3.6, not 2.3.5 (initial firmware) or 4.0.4 (not available yet). But it is upgradable via OTA in OP.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
its not the LATAM one. it's official Rogers. it just has LATAM on the file name becoz we share the same architecture with LATAM devices.

once flashed, u wont find the word LATAM anywhere in ur phone. and u get all the bloatware and Rogers bootscreen and all that.

flash that. then flash the ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
Oh ok. Thank you! I need to flash using fastboot right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
the file is a fastboot file.

you need to flash using rsd lite.

flash it. then go back to OP and follow the exact instruction.

profit. :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marawan31:
Yea i can confirm that flashing this file then flashing the leak works if anyone ever has the same problem
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elitemonkie:
What I am not understanding is if I am on stock GB right now from Rogers do I need to make a boot.img? or can I just do the steps through Rom Manager? Also do I need to remove bootstrap recovery?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jdz7t8:
