In his behalf the nook color is running a honeycomb sdk port mixed with system dumps so its not impossible. But not close to a daily driver in everyone elses defense.

I'm aware I've tried that sdk ported honeycomb on the nook color but can you honestly call that working it's laggy and is incompatible with very many apps.

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.

2.15.10.07.07&Chad's newest..Rom MIUI.US/CM7
When the source drops for this I will probably build a new kernel for it. It should be loads better than the port as it will be all Inc files. I'm not sure of Chad's schedule as I'd prefer to leave it to the master.
What is the best way to get some developers to make CM7 for the D3? I am willing to donate some money.

Miss CM7 from my D1. Wanted a D2G, but alas, locked up bootloader and no CM7 meant no love for me.
By the way, aren't we getting closer to that "promise" by Moto about unlocking the bootloaders by the end of the year?
Seems like that has gone by the wayside lately...big shock. Another broken Moto promise...SD card running on the Xoom sound familiar? 4gLTE via software patch that was downloadable? Need I go on? Sorry Moto, but your "promise credit" is no good.
Please devs, link to the nightlies as soon as available. I'm on board for flash-fest and test...lol.
Thanks in advance.

Stop whining about what Moto have not done about the bootloader. The droid 3 is not even 3 month old yet, and there is no way Moto will unlock it anytime soon. If they promised to unlock it, then they most likely will. Take a look at the Atrix for instance.

Atrix was an internal testing leak. It's possible that we'll never see it and I honestly don't think we ever will. Would it be nice? Yes of course, but we will still have plenty of mods to make this phone even better.
Wait. It's on the way.
Hope it can also improve the signal or maybe a better radio..!!!

I will probably be on narcotICS until CM7 is released.
i cannot wait for CM7 for droid 3 to come out. i am willing to be a beta tester if there are any needed.
I know I'm a bit late to this party, but Moto said they would unlock the bootloader on their phones SUBJECT TO CARRIER APPROVAL.
Does anyone here really think Big Red will allow such a thing? I personally, don't hold out much hope for that.

Verizon obviously doesn't give a **** about the bootloader, since it's going to be the first carrier to release the Galaxy Nexus. And now that Google owns motorola I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but it doesn't really matter.
I am very excited for CM7 (or CM9 for that matter)! I have only had the Droid Pro and now the Droid 3 so I have never been able to really take advantage of it.
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!

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'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.

The Nexus will be out before the month's end, and the source code will drop in the following 2-4 weeks. If someone built it from SDK, they'd have to start it all over again after the source drops.
ya but that means source wont drop till xmas and then by the time someone has a working build moto will be releasing there official build so it doesnt really do anything for us

It might be a fun exercise, and fun to play around with, but sdk ports are buggy and wont have the framework that really makes up ICS. It would basically GB + some ICS features/apps, since all we have access to is some apps and what they ask for

I hope no one is wasting time working on a port from a Software Development Kit (SDK) emulator "ROM" that is incomplete and lacking. SDK's are for app developers to test, not for ROMs to be be made.
Once the source hits....you'll have a better chance of getting ICS, AND a much better and complete ROM.

Just to be clear, I'm not working on an ICS port from the SDK. Sorry :/
While I applaud jellydroid13's enthusiasm, there is still alot of work to be done getting the D3 to be more AOSP friendly. This includes working on getting the audio drivers working correctly, BT updated, overlays which don't have PBUNDERUN events every 30 seconds, camera routines to iron out, etc.
Fixing these issues in Gingerbread where our kernel matches up with the source, gives us a better chance at then migrating working source to a true ICS port later.
There is also a fairly sizable kernel hurdle to jump as well.
Just my 2-cents.
The future of Rom development is not looking too good for the Droid Bionic. According to the Eclipse forums it appears that nitro the main developer of Eclipse is selling his Droid Bionic. Eclipse 2.2 was the only Droid Bionic Rom that was build off of the 902 update. The stable Rom choices for the Droid Bionic appear to be limited. Gummy appears to be the only stable Rom (not alpha or beta) for the Bionic that is remaining in development.
Yeah this is what happenes when we got a locked bootloader. It chases people away Maybe well have more people jump on the bionic when or if we get ICS soon. all we can do is hope :S
