Now that ROMs are being rolled out, will we be seeing a Cyanogen Mod? I ran it on my G1, Mytouch Slide, G2, and need some Cyanogen loving for my D3...

Be patient. CyanogenMod is a source built ROM, it's compiled from source and the source code is a mix of AOSP from Google/Android and the CyanogenMod Team's own programming. Hashcode has been working very hard on getting the source ported so that it will compile and run on the Droid 3. He's also working on making it work in a "sandbox" area so as not to affect the stock ROM (easy to switch back and forth between the two).
All the current ROMs for the Droid 3 are modified stock ROMs. Some theme changes, app deletions/additions, a few build.prop edits, etc...

I am not that well versed on CyanoGen... I started off with a D2, and the flexribbon broke before I was able to see the dawn of custom kernels. Is cyanogen truly a custom kernel? If so, I assume we're trying to hijack the boot process to load dual kernels?

CyanogenMod on locked bootloaders hijacks the init process and runs on top of the stock kernel. No kernel replacement on locked bootloader phones.
Yyup, that's what I thought.
Also, according to Hashcode0f, well be seeing a CM7 beta in the very, very near future. He's going to be writing a dossier up on it shortly.

Even though it has a bootloader, that doesn't mean the development cannot take place. Why not develop now so when the bootloader gets unlocked, you will already have a pretty descent ROM to flash on!

Honestly, I don't believe the bootloader will ever be unlocked. It will have to be unlocked by Motorola and I just do not believe that they ever will.
So developing ROMs (from source) will require using the 2nd-init process CM7 is using to boot the "new" OS on top of the stock kernel. Kernel will remain stock.......
Did you forget who bought motorola? Google! And google supports devs. Like all the unlocked nexus phones! It will be released sooner or later! Have hopes!

If the acquisition passes through (which likely won't be soon).. word is Google bought them more for patents than for anything else. If we're lucky, Google might make sure future phones are unlocked. However I highly doubt Google will do anything about phones already released.
Plus Moto said they would release an update to unlock the bootloaders where carrier approved. The other variations of the droid 3 may get unlocked, but I doubt big red will give their approval for unlocking the droid 3.

It's all good man. Basically...with the encrypted bootloader, only "official" roms would allow the phone to boot. So if a custom rom was flashed, it would stay in recovery mode. With this, if everything goes right, the custom recovery will allow the flashing of roms and booting back into android. Hope that makes sense.
No risk. We're all here to help and learn.
The reason this is exciting is that it is the first step towards custom ROMs.
To explain further: Recovery is used on a stock phone to help you recover when you have screwed something up by taking you back to the same state the phone was in when you first unboxed it by loading the stock ROM. Loading a custom recovery, if 100% successful would then allow you to load custom ROMs. However, the X also has encryption that requires a signature on the ROM that is loaded before it will actually boot the phone with the custom ROM.
I think there is some stuff that I missed here but this is the general idea.
The one thing I'm not 100% certain of is if they're going need to work on the encryption still or if a custom recovery gets around that. In this case for some reason I'm getting the sense that the encryption isn't stopping birdman.
all i can say is gimmmmeeeeeeeeee

This is huge. We should see custom ROMs shortly after we see a released CR.
Unfortunately, we'll only see custom roms with stock kernels, which isn't quite ideal. I'm still enthusiastic about this though.
True, but we will get a 2.2 kernel when Froyo is released for the X and that will make things just that much better.
I say we look at the fact that we're going to get custom ROMs on a device that is supposed to be totally locked down, even though we will not have custom kernels.
I realize we're not going to be able to truly load an overclocked our undervolted kernel. But the custom ROMs are going to rock.
Please pardon my noobiness here, but how does the kernel affect the roms we can load? Mainly can I load a CM 2.2 rom?

Nspbass - the kernel is what talks to all of the hardware on your phone and we would have to have an unlocked bootloader to put custom kernels on the phone. To load a custom ROM without a custom kernel means someone has to port CM 2.2 over to the X by making it work on a 2.1 kernel and we won't have a true version of Froyo.
However, when we get the 2.2ota update our rockstar devs will very likely get under the covers and give us a full 2.2 version.
One the + side they do have a dev phone that has 2.2.1 on it so we may see it sooner than we think.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Check this out - we MAY be able to load alternate kernels in the future without unlocking the bootloader: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aMPUcY71Yc

In order for JellyBean to be fully functional on a device, it needs a kernel that supports all the features that are a part of the operating system.
Since Moto's phones have a locked bootloader, it prevents the kernel from being modified by anything except official updates from Motorola.
If we see any JB ROMs on the Bionic, they're going to be incomplete and unstable (like how ICS ROMs were before the ICS leaks) because they won't be able to run with a kernel that supports all its features.
Imagine having a Nissan and wanting to put a Honda engine inside it instead. None of the connectors and parts are going to fit together properly and you're going to have to make a bunch of small hacks/mods to make it work, and you can only hope that it behaves properly once you put it all together. That's pretty much what it's like to force a kernel mismatch on locked bootloader devices.

This means almost nothing for the Bionic. The Bionic gets to be saddled with a kernel for ICS 4.0.4 which won't support all the upgrades and tweaks made for JB. If we get a JB ROM it'll extremely difficult for 100% of the features in JB to work.
Hash code has kexec fully working on the Droid 3 running his 3.0 kernel. He has a cm9 rom for it almost ready to be released. On his twitter he said that he plans to port kexec to the other phones he supports which would be this bionic and the Droid 4. Dhacker is also working on jb for the razor which he plans to port to the bionic in the meantime.

Good news, but we are still playing the waiting game. Kind of BS for a phone that I paid $300 for. Its "My phone", and should have been unlocked a looooong time ago as stated by Verizon and Moto. Q3 2011 if I recall correctly. Oh well, I'll deal with my ICS leak until its official as at least it saves me the frustration of wanting to throw the phone against the wall.

I'm not a developer but, its my under standing that CM10 is Kexec ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec ) which allows the JB kernal to run on top of the ICS kernal and bypass MOTO's signature checks and locked bootloader. They have just started developing CM10 JB for the Bionic so they are having data issues and the camera doesn't work. Another guy said bluetooth doesn't work. Its not ready to be a daily driver yet.
Now on the plus side it is FAST and SMOOTH!! Google Speak is AWESOME!! Way better then Siri (Siri still can set appointments GS can't). Even though this is in Alpha stage and it came out 2 weeks ago IMHO this is going to be the way togo very soon once they get a few bugs ironed out. It will get there. We still don't technically have ICS for the Bionic and I can almost bet my right arm MOTO will not release an OTA JB.
Once they get everything up and running I would jump on JB for my bionic in a heartbeat...Having ICS is nice (honestly I forget it's not the official build because the phone runs so much better already) but nothing is as smooth as butter.
agreed

I will look on it but then it doesn't mean a smooth progress.
Just helping here.
some hints to get resolved.
bootup "wallpaper" binary is started by lg.early.rc which checks for DRM binaries are where they should be in /system/lib and /vendor/lib folder, which normally would exclude any option for refreshing those at bootup.
bootup init files replace and removed if you use 2nd-init and it will reload the same binaries and you might get locked up, if its not cleaned.
modem binaries: they require some authentication it seems to get enabled, i did not find out what triggers it but using logcat -b radio did not help much on my OneX build.
wifi: LG have already compiled the kernel with the wifi driver built-in, which Means the libhardware_legacy, needs to skip the stage to insmod the wifi driver, it can be tricky or you need a workaround reloading the BTHID kernel module, to get around it.
for the wallpaper binary, you can always run it from Shell checking if you touched or removed liblgdrm or libdrmframework files, as it will Lock bootup, but thats only if you got the device in your hands, otherwise testers need to prepare to use the original kdz files and reflash Again, spending alot of time on nothing
using Mount -obind to get around replacing the files needed is the trick to replace lib supposed to be in /system/lib at bootup, using "ln -s" to point to a different bind'd folder when you actually can do it (from like a vold wrapper or so)
thats all hints i can come up with for now.
talked to some guys whom done 2nd Init.
They said aren't impossible but i am not sure they can help on this project.
I can't do much,don't have O4X for testing as well.
this the part of updates here
i do not believe anyone can do much without the o4x remote, especially when playing with 2nd-init and bypassing security and trying to improve.
it will probably die before it starts getting to boot
initially i seemed to be the only one getting a custom modded port working on o4x and i needed the device to get that far and as you said previously you will not ask for another contributed device, so it might just stop with our premodded recoveries by 2nd-init and maybe be leaked cm10 i did in another thread. (although not worth much)

Well, this solution doesn't use kexec. It basically hijack stock firmware android boot to boot the alternate firmware but it's using stock kernel, that's why it can work with locked bootloaders. The only requirement is that cm or aosp should run on stock kernel and doesn't require a modified kernel. As you have kitkat on your device, there is a good chance that it does.
But it doesn't, that's why it does not work and a modified ramdisk (Hence modified kernel, hence unlocked bootloader) is needed
Hence kexec is needed, but that seems like a lost hope on Xperia Z devices
Nothink is imposible i hope
No, nothing is impossible, but there has to be enough effort spent on it.
Personally I don't think there will be as most devs got bootloaders which can be unlocked...hence they do not need kexec
In future its always preferable to check this before purchase
mabe don't need to unlock bootloader but workaround this - mabe multiboot or kexec will be more developed because more phone will released with LB and this is their new policy :/

Ramdisk is not a problem... When I say kernel, I mean zImage, not zImage+ramdisk: we extract cyanogen ramdisk in the boot hijack.
Kernel drivers combined to Android hal is what I meant and could cause problem depending on how Cyanogen was developed and how Cyanogen kernel source code is far from stock one. That's why we're usually stuck on Cyanogen with the same Android version.
Another solution is to hack Cyanogen code to support stock zImage. It's not for the faint of the heart, but it could be the only solution.
Greg's absolutely right, if your bootloader unlock allowed status is no or you're unwilling to unlock it then i'm afraid you're out of luck, i'm not saying it's impossible that just isn't true, but again as Greg's said this more than likely isn't going to happen as it would take some talented folk a lot of time to accomplish it, with the Z2 having been released and the vast majority of people able to unlock their bootloaders there is little call for someone to have a crack at it.
in all fairness though, the rom's that are available for locked bootloaders are pretty damn good and the launchers that you can install these days gives a near perfect android experience, you'll only be missing things like Halo and custom kernels along with a few mods and such that only appear to be available for cm based roms and the like.

Much better flashable zip. No encryption and custom kernel

Out of curiosity I see you list velocity nougat for nexus 6. I searched on XDA but couldn't find anything except for an HTC device. Mind if I ask where you got that rom? I'd like to scope it out, thank you in advance

Velocity is from the psx def. He is not on xda. Just building for himself and I am a tester since day one 4 years ago. It's only available on a German forum. N is not official, so I can't. But if you Google my name with velocity you will find.

As long as Bootloader and Radio dont change from DP5 to Release. Custom roms are the best route. :laugh:

Not really a wise option. The roms right now are hacked together with bits and parts from other stuff and without an updated kernel many things are causing issues and you dont get all the new under the hood improvments.

We have kernel source for DP5. And as of right now the AOSP r1 source hasn't changed much from DP5 to r1. Or thats what the elite guys have mentioned.

Yeah I have the source and alot is still missing compared to the DP5. I have spoken with most teams and they are all of the same mind. Until it is fixed they wont build for the n6. Some are even gonna wait until late September or October before even attempting to build it. We are all over Google groups complaining about it. Most think it has to do with Qualcom and the new Vulcan stuff that qualcomm is refusing to support on some chips.
We can only wait and see. I personally am not touching a single rom that is built at the moment. Not a fan of hack together roms.

Not with a device I rely on. My device is a tool not a toy lol.
Plus I make my own roms and only use roms made by a very few others. To be honest only 2 teams do I trust their roms to flash to my device. I know all too well the risks involved in flashing roms.
Nexus 5x is live Come On GOOGLE!!!
Velocity was a ROM by Trident in the LG Ally days, woah they bring me back. Back to Android 2.2.2!
