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

That has nothing to do with why I sold my bionic.

Re: Nitro
I was not able to post the link to nitro's form due to the 10 post rule. If you look at the eclipse form nitro says he is selling his phones because he needs some extra cash not because he dislikes the bionic or locked boot loader.

I do. And I voted

i do. his Rom is the ****. if this happens all my eclipse themes for the dx2 i make will be ported to the Bionic. nitro. do it dood
You know this pal...
I'm voting against it. Only because I'm a selfish X2 owner that doesn't want to share one of the few devs I've got.
This should help.. I updated the OP to show his ROM for the X2and his accurate battery meter for the Bionic he made.

It is, not that I don't like the work th3ory has done I just really like the smoothness of eclipse
Eclipse is almost perfected on the X2.
Not to mention the ROM is amazing. I can only imagine how beautiful it will be on the Bionic.
Totally thought this thread was about bringing the IDE eclipse the phone haha
The Bionic is a powerhouse lol

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!

Also thanks to Droidtheroy for his rom that was featured in the begining of this video! =)

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.
So this is using another bootloader? If that's the case custom kernels would be available through this bootloader right?

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.

You know.. It's great that these devs even bothered making us some roms for our phone but I find it a bit cowardly that they can't even get on their own thread and be honest with us that they left. I donated to these guys for their contribution but honestly at this point, without any responses or even posting the newest version 901 on their thread.. I wouldn't have.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Not to defend them, cause i have done the same as you, but they have always started that they will not make roms for unofficial releases, which is what .901 is at this point.

893 was official and they didn't release anything for that. I loved liberty for the Droid X, and liberty for the bionic is good but not as great as their X version or eclipse.
Team Liberty started to work on the nexus before the 893 came out.. Once they finish there, they are planning on coming back to build another ROM for the Bionic. Hopefully another true OTA comes out before they start developing on the 893 model.
I have been looking and am unable to find any new ROM's past March 10th. Has development stopped for the bionic? No disrespect meant to the developers, but I was just wondering. Are we waiting for an ICS system dump for the kernel or an I just not looking well enough. Again, thanks for all you do. I guess I am just used to Kaos when I was on the Eris. Sometimes we had 3-5 updates in a day. Just wondering. At this time I am using gummy 1.0.2 and loving it. Just wanting to be able to flash more. Force of habit.

Bionic development has slowed down quite a lot lately. The place I see with the most action and releases is Rootz. Best to peek there.
