How compatible are the DROID 3 and the Bionic? I just flashed the Ics 4.0.3 Rom built for the DROID 3 and it booted up perfectly. (No Boot loops) The camera that comes with it does not work (I would just get the .893 blur cam) but data does. I went back to Eclipse 2.1 and was still on 5.9.901 which is cool. But I want to know will this help out at all with a complete Ics Rom for the DROID BIONIC? I will attempt to flash other D3 ROMS just to see if everything goes all right.

When you say "data" works, are you saying that the 1x data is working or the 3g/4g data is working?
I suggest giving kejar or one of the other big developers a message and ask them what they think of this. It sounds as if this could be the fastest way for us to get ics but what do I know.

Doesn't work. Tried flasging it through bootstrapper. (Can't open, "bad" installation aborted )
Hashcode's CM9 rom is for his Safestrap, it wont work in bootstrap

Its pretty stable. Minor glitches. Once screen turned upside down. Not sure about 4g. Honestly have paid my bill(hard out here). You Do Not need Safestrap. Booted in CWM. Wiped data etc. If someone can test out 4g that would be awesome.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I see no reason why 4G could work if you flashed a D3 ROM because the D3 kernel source and framework would have zero provisions whatsoever for the 4G radio portion of the Bionic.
The rest of the hardware is surprisingly similar, however. Which is why D3 ROMs boot on the Bionic in the first place.
works same only 1x and stable could not get 3g or 4g

Why is that though? I never been able to flash another rom for something like the Razr or DROIDX? What really makes the Droid 3 and the Bionic similar?

Oh yeah FYI the only reason I didn't stay on this is because Internal SD Card does not mount. But I didnt connected my phone to my laptop while I was on it. Not sure what that would do but I would hope that something would happen

I have I just wanted to know the similarities between the BIONIC and the DROID 3 and if the D3 was closer to a complete ICS Rom. Which if it was would probably help out us BIONIC users

Until they figure out Data/Camera on either builds, they are pretty much the same.
It appears that Hashcode now has a BIONIC in hand is going to be helping debug the data issues that have plagued DHacker! Definately getting exciting for the BIONIC!
Check out the Dev forums for Hashcode updates!
Much appreciated and send Dhacker and Hashcode some lovin for this latest turn of events!

Is Rom Manager/CWM working on the Bionic? Does it need anything special like the Droid X?
It needs someone to develop cwm for the phone. Im sure rom manager will install, you just cant do anything with it
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
what about the bootstrap recovery from the X2?
Other than clearing data/cache/dalvik, there's not much you can use CWM or Rom Manager for right now...since I haven't seen any ROM's released for the Bionic yet.
Not so. If it was working, I could make a nandroid and then remove bloat etc and always return to stock.
How do you remove bloat on a rooted bionic?

We're waiting for Koush to get his Droid 3. Once he gets it and ports CWM, he'll have a working version for the Bionic as well.

Wow Matt! I haven't seen you around in quite a long time, good to see you!!! Can't wait for you to develop CWM for the Bionic!!!
I just got my Bionic a couple days ago, rooted it, installed Liberty (that was my favorite on the DX so I had to!), then learned of an awesome app/recovery called Safe Strap. IMO opinion, it's one of the top 5 best things to happen to a Moto phone.
So I've flashed ICS (Bionic & Droid 3), CM7 (Droid 3), and others. But what else can we flash? It's booting from the sd card and it's a Moto....how dangerous could it be? Sbf fixes most everything. So who's thrown caution aside and flashed some stupid $h1t?? Obviously, data wont work and most likely other stuff, so you might ask why? Because we can (potentially).
What's the craziest thing you've flashed and how did it turn out?

First off this is a DROID 3 Rom thats compatible with the BIONIC. Original thread here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465153
I've tested this on my BIONIC and it worked fine. One problem I did have was that my screen started sideways. I just took auto rotate off. Also it says im roaming. Not sure why. Phones off, Im all wifi. And internal SD Card is not mounted it says "storage blank or has unsupported filesystem". It does give you the option to format SD Card. Need it so didnt try it to see what would happen.

Wish I could tell you dude. All wifi here. But seeing as the D3 isn't 4g probably not. Could tho. If you could test it that would be cool. You can do this in CWM, you don't need Safestrap. But if you want to use Bionic SafeStrap not D3 Safestrap.

D3 roms will work on the Bionic for the most part. BUT the D3 doesn't have a 4G radio... So D3 roms will never support 4G.
No offense, but why would we do this then?

Every one says 3g/4g is not working correctly, only 1x or 3g if your not in a 4g area.
Edit: I see there seems to be a work around, by turning on the LTE ram dump.
Is it a port of this?

You need to go to 902 from 893 not 901. I think you can flash stock 893 in rsd, use voodoo from the market to save root, then take the OTA update and restore root with voodoo, but I'm not 100% sure voodoo works on the bionic (it does on my transformer prime)

I think its because theres a lot of new users who don't read before they ask questions or start threads. I have seen rom threads where a question that was answered 10 times in the last 5 pages continues to be asked. The search function is horrible on here but if you can't read the last few pages of a thread, or 2-3 pages of thread titles before asking a question or starting a thread then you are just cluttering up the forum. I have seen a few devs leave simply because of all the people that wouldn't read a few pages, or even the OP before asking stupid questions which have already been answered. Also the moderation in some sub forums is horrible, that's another big reason I've seen a lot of devs leave.
Thank you for the explanation. Makes sense.

Did you make sure you were using a Safestrap compatible version? Remember a safestrap rom is different than a regular rom.

If you read the first post, it explicity says "cwm only". It is not a safestrap rom. Also, liberty is based on the Droid 3 stock rom. If you want to port it, here are the first steps:
1. Get an updated Safestrap rom that incorporates the lates Motorola patch. (We will want the performance and battery boost it gives the d4)
2. DeOdex the ROM from step 1.
3. Prepare a sort of blank slate to start with, by ripping out everything not necessary.
At this point, we can start adding the Liberty customizations.

Is it your motoblur LT deodexed? If so that is what I have been waiting for. I love gummy but would go full stock if I could change some or the icons safely. like the green battery icon. It just looks retarded with the blue 3g, 4g and wifi icons. If I knew how to deodex a rom I would attempt it myself, are there any instructions available for doing this ones self? Thanks for what you have done and are attempting.

Unfortunately, it is not yet deodexed. I just spent the last 3 hours trying to, and the resulting update.zip looks fine, but it won't boot. For now, though, it is very debloated and slightly deblured.
