I'm taking this idea from timmytim over in the tf300t forums (we need a bootloader adjustment, he made the bounty and xplodwild fulfilled it).to be working for the tf300t, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942369) so I thought we may as well try it here.
I personally pledge $20 to whomever is able to port/create an ICS or JB rom for the Revolution. Devs, please help us. There are many of us left here with this fantastic, but under-supported device. If you can help us, we'd be happy to return the favor.
If you too are cursed with not having enough $ to upgrade etc (or don't want to buy new hardware to replace fully functioning equipment), please pledge to donate to a dev (real pledges only please).
and for those that doubt. If you think this is a hopeless endeavor, if you believe this phone is dead (which many do), then you may as well pledge some $. There is nothing to lose. If we finally get the development we need, it will certainly be worth as much as a paper toss game in the play store. and besides, devs need our thanks in general (I'm considering building a retroactive bounty for Mt).
PS: PG, if you pull off your CM port, this hopeful bounty is all yours.
Lets try and revive this guys. It's a solid phone, it just needs a little love (and google now).
I'll keep track of the pledges in post #2
Reserved for tracking total etc.
Update 02/26/13: Total Pledge: $210!
If you have been thanked by me, your pledge is included in the total.

Sorry it isn't much but I'll add $5 into the pot. I don't have much time left with the revo but had a great experience with the community here! This is my first android phone and am thankful for the development for it!
5$! Sorry it's not much, but whatever works right?
five bucks is plenty really. Thank you!
now if we can just get some more people to pledge and get a devs attention we might be in business

Posting here works fine. If you all keep up with my Esteem progress then you already know I jumped to CM10. I will copy and make the needed changes to me repo for the Revo soon, trying to get it in some sort of usable state.

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

Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
Do you like the phone? That should answer your question on whether to return it or not.
First off, this question should be in the general section as there is no "Development" going on in it.
Second, Overall, the Thrill is a great phone with Amazing potential when Gingerbread is finally released. When ICS is released, even better. I still feel that when Gingerbread hits, there will be a lot more development going on as no one wants to develop for Eclair since it will be updated in less than a month (hopefully).
With the tri-dual technology, this thing could demolish the SGS2 if given the correct software.
Yes, more development is going on over in the SGS2 forums, so you have a tough decision to make my friend.
Ya I'm a flashaholic, so seeing this forum without very much development on roms is the only thing making me second guess my purchase, the phone itself on the other hand is a very nice piece of machinery...i mean i love the phone even in its stock form...but like i said im a flashaholic and love just tinkering with my phone...not a developer at all : / though I wish i were. I'm coming from a Mytouch 4G which I had sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5...so its just a whole new world to me I guess..

You've already posted that here.
Tech support knows less than we do most of the time. Means absolutely nothing.
That's why its in general. To have a conversation about it. I posted it in the other forum to just show, not start a new conversation there about it. Since that one is strictly for bootloader unlocking. I will speak with another tech support to see if I get the same result

Yea I will donate my bounty if Motorola Unlocks my phone. So hopefully Moto reads this and wants to help starving children in Africa.
If Motorola unlocks the bootloader, then I'll be more than happy to donate my pledge to a reputable charity. But this is good news, hopefully that tech support rep knew what they were talking about!
Besides that I'm sure moto could give 2 f*[email protected] about a few hundred dollars lol.

We've already got great work out there with excellent apps and mods bringing some CM functionality to rooted Moto X owners. As someone who has paid a ridiculously high price for a dev edition phone (I figured I saved up enough cash resisting an upgrade from my GNex for almost 2 years), I was wondering if any of the most popular devs have stated that they are working on Moto X ports of their ROMs i.e. cyanogen, aokp, PA, liquidsmooth, etc. Quick Google search does not return any results, wondering if anyone here had any insight. Thanks!!
I know hashcode, dhacker, and bmc08gt all have one.

Any devs want to help port this to the Verizon S3? I have tried but cannot seem to succeed...
Yes, I know someone did this back in February, but it was just the live demo version... I have been in contact with him and he doesn't seem to want to be of much help. All he said was "It should work with the newer releases", which it did not. I have no idea what he did to make that edited version of CM 10.1 work with the quantal preview, but I would like to somehow get it working with a stable release of saucy.
I have tried many things, and have not had success with any of them as of yet.
If someone could take a look at the files and figure out what needs to be done, I will do it just tell me what to do.
The original stuff can be found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/39299-romwip-ubuntu-touch-on-d2vzw-dev-previewphantom-022213/
nightly updated builds from ubuntu can be found here: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/
I really don't have much experience with porting, but if someone would be willing to partner up on this with me, I would be so grateful.. I really can't be the only Verizon S3 owner itching to try out Ubuntu Touch...
Really, nobody...?

you're gunna want to follow this guide to get you started up. I know there's someone working on the d2Att port which should be compatible with your d2vzw. I myself have been attempting to port this to the d2's as well but have had no luck. To the people that say it's as easy as porting cm: no it's not. I guess in theory it is but with all of the kernel modifications and stuff required to get it up and running correctly it's just a LOT of work. I hope you have better luck than i have had and let me know if you need any help, i'll try to be of some assistance.
If I had any experience with porting stuff other than pulling cm kernel, and a few other things and such from a working aosp rom and using it on an aosp rom from another device.... Anyways if I could I'd help, if I can quickly be taught, I'll contribute the crap out of myself into this. Official ubuntu touch is supposed to be out on October 17th according to rumors, around same time as ubuntu 13.10 release
