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.

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

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.

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…

^ 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.
For those of you not in the know,
Kejar released a deodexed debloated version at rootzwiki.
http://rootzwiki.com/forumdisplay.php?296-Liberty-Team
Go team!
Awesome, but what exactly is removed. And I also saw a comment about the 4G icon, is it changed or something?
Id like to know what's removed also... I use some if the bloat but certainly not all of it
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I don't remeber every file I removed sorry
Although I can say I didnt go crazy.. Install the ROM if something is missing you want simply post it in the thread.. I am still trying to get a barring on what everyone wants to keep in the ROM... So I need your feedback
Quick question...I'm coming from the Droid Incredible, which obviously is HTC, so I don't know much about Team Liberty, though I've heard the name, and I've never even owned a Motorola device, so I'm assuming they make good stuff...do they happen to make AOSP? I really am looking forward to CM. I think AOSP ROMs will FLY on this phone.

Already loving it. Thanks for all your hard work!
Normally I would get to work and the battery would be reading 90%. Now it went over two hours before it even moved from 100%, and that was mostly due to my building blocking cell signals unless I'm by a window.
Just a question to people out there, I saw one person post that they just installed with no wipe, how are others fairing with that?
Would you suggest a full wipe Kejar?
I went ahead and did a full wipe, but was just curious since it's essentially the same build we all have, only deodexed and bloatware removal, and I know for updates in ROMs, like CM7 nightlys, all that was really needed was to wipe the CACHE and Dalvik when updating.
I could do without My Verizon & Books. Both can be downloaded from the market.

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!

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.

Yes but it's not the most organized. The 902 roms are the only ones not labeled 902, instead listed under cyanogenmod/aosp based while 901, 893, and 886 are labeled. For someone new, that could cause extra confusion.
I'm more confident that insanemod could make a better one. Not to be funny, but I'm starting to think he should be the moderator.

The link in the last post is the rom I was referring to. Most of the ICS rooms can be found on the droidhive forums.
You asked a yes or no question so I gave you a yes or no answer.
I recommend waiting for an official ics if you really want blur so badly.
Or just get an ics theme for your blur rom as you wait it out.

Some people use the xda app, which doesn't have a search button on top. I have barely used a computer to access xda in almost 6 months. On another note, finding things for the bionic is much harder than it is on many other devices. This is my first android which I had to use 4-5 different websites to find all the files I needed. With my previous phones, xda was the first place to look for something, but with the bionic, it seems like xda is the last place you want to check. With some files, it was easier to google bionic root than it was to find it on here.
I've always felt that the rooting community are the embasssadors for Android and unless we are actively developing, we should be more than willing to help others who are having problems. The more we can help them, the less they will have to bother the developers for help. While some questions are based on people being lazy, many of them are based on the user not knowing better. The bionic seems to have a lot of newer android owners which helps explain the repetition of questions. I suggest when offering help, also let the user know of the rules we go by when searching before asking.
The sooner someone can get their phone running nice, the sooner they can go show it off to their friends and help promote the growth of android. I know I used to impress my iPhone friends back when I was new with wifi tether. They couldn't get a signal and needed to use mine. A couple of those people are now on Android.

I agree with everything you said, OTHER then the search functionality. I as well only use the XDA app. But from the home screen if the app, if you click the upper right hand tabs that says "more" it has the search function there. Which would save reposts over and over in all phone forums. It is irritating to read through forums, looking for new things, and reading the same questions over and over.
