I live in KS, and the sales clerk was shocked that I knew the Bionic was coming out tomorrow. I'll be ordering mine from Verizon online tonight, or as soon as they post it.

I actually ordered my Bionic from Verizonwireless.com this morning.. Too lazy to haul my cookies 40 minutes away to pick one up.. I'm pretty excited to see what it can do. I haven't gotten a new cellphone in 2 yrs - had the Droid Eris. Although I liked HTC, their hardware is suckish. My Eris was replaced 4 times due to multiple hardware malfunctions. I've always heard pretty good things about Motorola. Looking forward to seeing what the Bionic community will do with this phone!

How did you set it up? It won't work for me.
I'm having some difficulty locating a link to Pete's tool, could you please post a link to the version you have working? (I also want to make sure I've got a program that is known to work, and not accidentally download something bogus.) I'll be getting mine in about an hour or so.
EDIT: I think I finally found it: www_dot_psouza4_dot_com/Droid3/
(forum won't let me post links yet.) ...Please correct me if this isn't the same one you used, though!
Just got mine. Coming from an Eris. Worst part of the experience was sitting in the Verizon store for 2 hours waiting for the slow bionic activation process of customers ahead of me.
Been playing around with it for a bit, I like it so far. Can't wait for a root to get rid of all this bloatware. It's truly absurd how many useless apps they've installed that cannot be removed.

For tethering, try ClockworkMod Tether. I also installed Eclipse ROM 2.1 a few days ago and it seems to work pretty well, without any bloatware (which didn't bother me much on this phone anyway).

Hi thereisone. I also just switched over from the charge last week. I've been very happy with the bionic. I had the static problem with my radio, but I was also disappointed with the battery life, slow GPS, and general slow response on the charge. All these were improved on the bionic. Of course the screen isn't as nice, but I can live with it. Only real complaint is that the camera sucks.
Anyway, I've been writing up a guide for how to root and get to the latest and greatest. It can be hard to figure it all out because of out-of-date posts. Like others have told you already, we can only go so far right now, but if you just need a phone that functions without all the bloat you'll be alright. I'll have it up by tomorrow.
Get a 901 radio data is,very stady nit so hot on 893,

The other day I went to the verizon store and played with the Galaxy Nexus. I've been thinking about retiring the Bionic for the Nexus, bad thing is the Bionic was a birthday present from my family and I feel bad for ridding it. Anyways, to my surprise, it felt like the Nexus was running as fast and smooth as my Bionic was. I was kind of shocked honestly. So the only thing the Galaxy has going for it: unlocked bootloader, ICS, its a Nexus Device.
anyways hope that makes you feel a little better about having the Bionic.
Before there were any roms for the Bionic, I rooted it (there are guides on how to in the dev section) then found some free apps from the market that remove bloat.
If you are comfortable installing roms, there are instructions on doing so in the dev section but read them carefully and do not skip steps. I recommend eclipse 2.1. It's fast, it looks nice, and it has a much better data connection thanks to the 901 radio. It's a bit tricky to flash for some, but because you are on stock, you will have less of a problem.
Hope it helps!
Happy Droiding!
As stated above, I would make sure you have the 901 System Version. You can check that on the Settings->About Phone menu. It will read 5.9.901.XT875 ... The next thing would be to root it and then install a Custom ROM which is compatible with this version. AFAIK, you have to buy a MySQL app to modify one of the system settings to allow you to do the WiFi tether. You have to fake out the installed Verizon app. Sorry if you already know all of this but when you install the Custom ROM they generally recommend you clear all of the stored data so you will have to set up all of account usernames and passwords again for the apps that are in /system.
I rooted my phone before I did anything. I just took it home, plugged it into the computer and started the scripts I needed.
Good Luck.
It came with 893. Should I use forever root update then flash eclipse?

I also just got my Bionic today as a replacement for my Charge. My Charge had an unfortunate accident and were out of them so they offered me the Bionic and LG Revolution. Like I'd really pick the Revolution over the Bionic? Lol
But looking forward to the guide cause I am completely lost when it comes to the Moto World. And also am looking to wifi tether.

I've had my Bionic for a few months, and have been recently resisting the .901 update because I didn't want to lose root. All that aside, followed this guide and it worked great!
Just installed MIUI-20120608 on my Bionic, switching from GummyNex 1.2. I like it so far but I THINK I need a little schooling on how to set it up.
First, the reason I switched in case it matters, I loved GummyNex but the video recorder never worked, I guess it is an option that they never got to work from what I read, I can't seem to get it to work on the MIUI rom either although I want to believe it will since it seems to recognize it has a video recorder.
Secondly, I am having some issues getting the data to work, I saw online that there are some steps to go through to get it to work (go to phone info>switch to GSM only; go to setting>mobile networks>CMDA/LTE....) which works but everytime my phone reboots I have to repeat the process. There has to be a way to set it up once and thats it.
Thirdly, there are a LOT of flexibility with this ROM, AWESOME. But I don't know where to start, what all the options mean to me. Instead of trial and error I am hoping some of the experienced users could share some of the best "setups" with me?
Thanks guys!
.... Miui? Where did you find that rom? Every Dev related to Miui stopped working on that ROM sadly which means its out of date now. Unless I'm out of the loop on Miui LOL.

and this:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/xt926/phablet
Due to missing files, its not really a flash you would be able to use as a phone...but if you are heart set on seeing how the ubuntu touch os feels, go for it...
I am actually doing my first build with the necessary files to get everything working right now... Goal is mainly to just get radio working so I can actually use this OS as a phone. I have copious notes, so if things don't work, there were steps I skipped due to my lack of knowledge and they caused issues....So I should be able to slowly find answers and get a radio working build in time...
Will update later after this build is done and I try flashing it. Answer will probably be, did not work, but I'm trying! :good:
It did not work, though I had some good discussion on fixing the things I need to...
I'll keep working on it and post in the dev section when I have something that is working.
Booted up the build a few posts above and it's pretty damn nice!! Once everything gets won't which I'm sure it will eventually I'm definitely gonna give it a go

Been running hashcodes build for a few weeks now
Its fun to mess around with. Battery drains pretty quick. WiFi works so that's probably why.
If anyone installs they should wipe system and factory reset before flashing.
Flash the Ubuntu phablet zip first and Hashcodes build second.

Yea the photon turned into a joke sadly. But the good thing about the Optimus G and G2.. They may be behind on updates but both are updated by great devs with the latest version as quick as any other device with all features working nearly 100%. The G2 already has 4.4 internationally and it also helps that the N5 is pretty much the same hardware kind of like the atrix and photon.

Well, before I could do any sort of collaboration, I have to get the source I've got building upped. It's really screwey how they have this thing set up....took 3 different tries to get the right files to actually repo sync. Their instructions seem quite incomplete in some areas, and are totally GONE in others (like the links to getting VoiceCall and HiFi audio working...links are page not found).
Once I get it synced remotely, I'll be more than happy to have some others pitch in. I have a feeling it's going to take a few of us to do it any way.
But for now...if anyone knows how to write UCM mixer files for alsa, I'd love to have some pointers. Their explanation is nearly NIL...LOL
