Bionic has CWM now

Bootstrap is up and running thanks to CVPCS.
Our phones are almsot identical, so I don't know if someone wanted to take the plunge since you have recovery now too.
Just wanted to give the Droid 3 owners a heads up.

I cannot stress enough that THIS IS FOR BIONIC ONLY. You should not attempt this for use with other devices such as the Droid 3 except at your own risk. The D3 specifically has differences that will cause your internal storage to wipe if you attempt to use this bootstrap on it.

I'm brave, but not that brave.

Yeah, its a use at your own risk kind of thing, obviously.
Maybe someone can get CVPCS to take a look at the D3, the work is mostly done with the bionic.

DO NOT USE THE BIONIC BOOTSTRAP. He posted on his blog this same warning.
I REPEAT: DO NOT USE BIONIC BOOTSTRAP.
It fries your internal memory apparently. Wait for the D3 version, should be out today or tomorrow.

I think I'll just wait for Hashcode's Recovery/Bootstrap. Should be out in the next day or so.

Also if you read the article it's an extreme Alpha Release.

The second part of your post isn't related to CWM, I think. It looks more like you are talking about CM7 booting up on Droid Bionic. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah the second part is about CM7

Derp I edited my in wrong thread. lol

Oh, nonsense!
I EXPECT my Clockwork Recovery to have auto-screen orientation, working radio with 4G, battery meter, audio, AND 100 naked ladies.

Remember people that we still need an sfb file.

I've been following some of the dev work on the irc channel and our recovery is actually just about ready. From what I understand they are just bug squashing so it doesn't kill anyone's phone.

If you're talking about a SBF file for D3, there already is a Verizon one floating around.

Not sure what's wrong with a dev-related topic being posted in the dev section, but in my opinion, the real bummer is that CVPCS is developing for the Bionic instead of the D3 (like I hoped). The Bionic has been out for about a week and a half, and already has a pending CM7 mod waiting in the wings. Hopefully we can get some work going on the D3…

If anything hopefully the systems being similar would make it possible for devs to kill two birds with one stone.. tho I feel like bionic is going to continue being focal point.

^ This!
BTW guys, there is work being done with the D3 don't worry. We already have a semi working CWM based recovery in the beta stage atm. there are a few dedicated devs working on the D3.
Also keep in mind its only going faster for the bionic devs because our devs have been working so hard on things like 2init and root, granted it does seem we were skipped over by the majority of devs.

On other areas of the site the Developer forum is not for questions but for development. Questions are ether directed to the developer thread of interest or posted in the General category.
I am kind of surprised that no sticky post has been made here stating similar rules.

Droid 3 development?

Hey guys.. nothing against droid 3 rom creators or anything of that nature. Im a huge fan of their work and i appreciate their dedication. BUT WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG??? how does the bionic have an unlocked bootloader already and a kernel????? Like i said.. i mean no disrespect to anybody what-so-ever! im just curious as to why we are struggling so badly.

It's simple, really.
They got lucky and had a leak.
We haven't.
No leaked unlocked bootloader = no kernels/anything along those lines.
So relax, bro, and enjoy the show for now.

Apparently so. I wasn't keeping up with that phone, so this is news to me too.

Wow if i was a bionic owner i would be pissed.. it was more of a thread misinform by me (and im sure by others as well) Im sorry. Its more of a source code which now im confused because idk how they can have a fully operating kernel? I dont get it and im done following other phones development. But from what i hear theyre mad close to something big! Lets beat them to it xD

[CM7] on Droid Bionic with dual boot!

This is an amazing hack by Hashcode! He built a hack to load CM7 on the Droid 3 that will also work on the Droid Bionic! I tested it on the Droid Bionic today and it worked! (ya I am crazy)
Now you need to note that this is in the begining stages, but with us Devs teaming up, this can be great!
Thanks to Hashcode and of course Cyanogenmod team!
Hashcode Github: https://github.com/Hashcode
Details can be found here:

Also thanks to Droidtheroy for his rom that was featured in the begining of this video! =)

What is performance like (for both this current working version and the D3)?
What's currently broken in this one?
Just curious, I know this isn't a stable release. More wondering into the generals about it.

This is the excitement I've needed lately. I've been reading the hype on the galaxy nexus and razr which have been eclipsing our new bionics. I know that's just how it seems to me, in reality its the bootloader that its slowing the development and further excitement. Cyanogen was stellar on my OG Droid. Koush rules!

I assume there probably will be no data atm? Dat RIL issue.

Definitely will be following this. Switched from reblurred to liberty, and when this becomes stable, which I'm sure will take no time at all, I'll flash this. But I thought there was a developer already working on a cm7 for the bionic? Has been for a while I think

The point is you should never donate to anyone expecting anything in return, ever...it's that simple.
There are plenty of so called devs out there who are completely undeserving of anyone's donations, but CVPCS is not one of them.

I'm greatly appreciative of your comments mistawolfe. I was a victim of TDB with the X2 promises. After two months of waiting and very little progress on the X2 anywhere else, I gave up and threw in the towel. That was my lesson -- money wasted. I now own a Bionic and I can't be happier. And now, when I donate, it's to sites like MDW, Rootzwiki, DL and here. At least that way, I have a reasonable expectation that my money is going to good uses. I live for forums like these and I will do all that I can to help them thrive. I was just very touched and happy to hear that someone else identified with my pain. Thanks again.

I was already gone from my x2 when I stumbled across the Rootz thread. It's funny, Butch starts out all nice and open to the other members, then as soon as he gets the phone he changes tone. I'm in sales, so we call that the old "bait and switch" - By the end of it he was just downright nasty - probably crushed many people. I sat and read the whole thread one day and was just disgusted.
I'm not saying he should have given them a blow by blow on a daily basis, but if you read the thread from start to finish you'll see what I'm talking about. Absolutely no respect for that guy - ZILCH.

So this is using another bootloader? If that's the case custom kernels would be available through this bootloader right?

It's actually completely possible. The DInc got a full GB SDK port. The Nexus S has a ICS SDK port. The G2 (I believe by siulmagic) has an SDK port. It's just all those phones are unlocked completely. The 2nd-init used on Moto phones would be too hard and not worth the time for an only partly working port. With how close CM is, just wait for CM9 (CM8 would've been Honeycomb for all those about to ask "but i didn't c no cm 8 !?"). It will come. With time.

And is anybody working on a port for Jellybean or Key Lime Pie yet? How soon can we expect them?

Motorola just announced an ICS upgrade for the bionic via facebook (not sure if they intended to, theres a thread on rootzwiki about it. Some guy asked if it was going to get ICS, moto said yes, but they wouldn't disclose a time frame to expect it until Google had the final ICS build ready.
In other words, we should continue to see numerous testing builds on the servers, for months to come.

A lot of us would hope to have a developer based option up and running by the time that might be released. The current estimated dates would be no earlier than the RAZR gets ICS, so we're still months away from any official release.

I think we'll definitely see dev releases first. VZW can't be excited about ICS allowing removal of any apps even without root. That's going to cause some internal delays.

Why do people assume the Razr will get ICS before the Bionic does? Just because they said the Razr will get it doesn't mean it will get it before the Bionic. I'd say its safe to say that any device being released with gingerbread will be updated to ICS. My guess would be to look for it in late winter/early spring.

Moto X Development: Any big devs confirmed?

We've already got great work out there with excellent apps and mods bringing some CM functionality to rooted Moto X owners. As someone who has paid a ridiculously high price for a dev edition phone (I figured I saved up enough cash resisting an upgrade from my GNex for almost 2 years), I was wondering if any of the most popular devs have stated that they are working on Moto X ports of their ROMs i.e. cyanogen, aokp, PA, liquidsmooth, etc. Quick Google search does not return any results, wondering if anyone here had any insight. Thanks!!

I know hashcode, dhacker, and bmc08gt all have one.
