I'm on the 208 leak. Lost root cuz I went from 200 to 206 then 208 but its all good. Only bad thing is all the bloat but besides that its running pretty well so far.

Running ICS leak. 206, kept root from GB .219
I was tempted to keep updating with each new leak, but at the expense of losing root I think I'll wait for the official upgrade to be released.

Stock rooted/debloated Gingerbread.
ICS shouldn't be that far off....waiting for the official release version. Since leaks are hitting every 12 to 13 days.....and you lose root going from one to the next.....might as well wait it out.

Running Eclipse ROM via SafeStrap. Sounds like the ICS leaks are running really well for most people. I'd just prefer to make sure I keep root and not have to worry about jumping through a bunch of hoops to update when the OTA finally drops, which can't be too far out.

Running stock. I really like AOKP, but the data issues were killing me, so I switched back. I figure once the OTA drops the ICS ROMs will work a lot better. I'm also hoping we get working 3rd party kernels.

I am running a stock ICS Leak

I am also running the stock .206 leak for the Moto Droid 4 and loving it. I haven't tried going to the new .208 leak as of yet.

I'm on .206, rooted. Very happy with it. I don't plan on upgrading again until Dan Rosenberg releases his ICS root method. As nice as ICS is...I'd rather be on GB with root than ICS without it.

wouldn't VooDoo OTA Root keeper work in all of this? I use it to maintain my root for OTA upgrades. But wouldn't it still work with a firmware push?

Just updated to 208 using Fastboot Upgrade and New ICS Root Method then recovered my files from Safe Strap for the data partition. :-D

Did you take a nandroid, then restore the data only partition of the nandroid after you did the upgrade? THat's a great idea. I might do the same if it is that easy! Otherwise, I'll wait for a newer leak.

buying Droid soon.
I am eagerly awaiting the official ICS rollouts for Verizon, but it may be a while. The goal is not to update myself. Is ICS really all that...and worth waiting for?

I was a big Motoblur guy (once you debloat it of course) and even preferred it over CM9. I just liked the theme. I think the Motoblur ICS is worth it, it's ICS with a nice familiar feel to it. Is it worth the wait? Maybe. I have faith we can get back on the official path once it comes out so I didn't take much convincing to flash a leak now.

Not me.
Me.
Not me.
It's a corporate-supplied device... I can't mess around with custom ROMs and deal with bugs that I don't have the time to troubleshoot.
Plus no ROM will improve this awful screen or only-slightly-better camera, right?

I'm running .206. I tried .208 but I'm too much of a noob to even fallow noob proof instructions so I'm staying with .206 till I learn more, and till I can get back on the regular path (if its even possible).
So far I like it, the only thing that doesn't work for me is the facebook (my gallery) from the accounts. It crashes my gallery with an error saying that friendfeed has stopped working, so I just don't use that part of my gallery.
I'm satisfied!

Yes I took a Nandroid before I started the crazy Fastboot recovery process, then once rooted and safe strap installed, I did another nandroid(heaven for bid I'd have to start over again) then flashed over data only.

Can't you just use recovery for flashing back data (I assume you are using the advanced restore?) or do you need to have safestrap installed?

I am running the .208 and was able to keep root thanks to Voodoo. I know some people have had issues with keeping root when going to .208 from .206 or .200. I went from GB to to .208 maybe thats why i was able to restore root? Anywho, ive been using the leak for over a week now and i am so glad i did.

Just went from .206 to .208 using the new kernel and following the instructions over at DroidForums. Also got root with the new method. Everything works peachy-keen.

Anyone find any ROMs that work with rooted Bionic on official ICS OTA update?

I was just wondering if anyone has found if any ROMs work with the OTA ICS update for the Bionic. I was running Eclipse 3.0 when my phone was on Gingerbread and I LOVED it, so I'm hoping that works out. But regardless of what ROM, I was wondering if anyone had found any ROM's at all that worked for an OTA ICS updated Bionic, perhaps something that was built for the Razr or something like that. So, any thoughts?

I use IcarusHD and AOKP no problems. Any ROM you used on leaks should still work, provided you're using the same recovery.

Any of the roms on this forum or others will work as long as you root your phone. Motofail or razor's edge will let you root.

Best way to restore a ICS bionic?

So I've pushed the ICS leak onto my Bionic (Build number 6.7.2-223) and after having it on there for a while, i'm looking to restore the phone since it's been slowed down really bad now. My question is, what would be the best thing to do? Should i go to Factory data reset and reset it that way? I'm aware that there's a build number that works that's ahead of mine (-232?). Should I upgrade to that? If so, should I just follow these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771993 steps? Anyway, thanks for the help!
Edit: I do want to keep ICS on there. I'm not looking to restore it completely back to Stock.

I'm not sure but are you aware that ICS .246 is the current software for the bionic (not a leak but an official build)? My suggestion would be to RSDlite the thing to the stock firmeware of .246. Then install SS 3.11 and make a partition and install a nice rom. As for rooting the motofail root works just fine on the ICS stock build.

Hah yeah, I only found out last night. Okay, that all sounds logical. Only two questions are, what is SS 3.11, and what ROM would you suggest. Thanks for replying!

SS = Safe Strap version 3.11
As for Roms so far the fastest Jelly Bean Rom is Icarus, but it doesn't have all the frills of the newer Cyanogen mods. As for ICS Roms I like Blurry Maxx or Eclipse. Google search should find them. Also there are roms in the Bionic Development section of xda here you can browse and see what some of the features are. Good luck.

Personally I would go with Eclipse, they recently released v 1.3 that runs great (way better than stock). I tried BurryMaxx but its pretty overclocked so the battery drain is quite a bit more than eclipse. Honestly I don't think you really need the OC as long as you make sure to use task killer frequently enough. I tried AOKP and CM10 for the JB roms but neither of them were ready to be daily drivers, I had issues with phones not ringing/vibrating, screen of death, etc. (and of course the standard camera issues).

FXZ to stock JB using the method outlined here that will put you at stock 4.1.2 and then you or whoever you sell it to can use it as is or safestrap it and goto a custom rom. I personally use the official AOKP JB 4.2.2 on mine and EVERYTHING works and is very stable. If you do use the AOKP it is a kexec kernel so it will have to be installed in ROM slot 2 in order to work.

FXZ to latest OTA for bionic on leak?

i remember a thread a while back that contained links to FXZ's for every possible situation and i THINK it was obsidians but sadly that thread is completely useless now because he deleted the first 2 posts in it's thread :/ but i could be wrong about the thread i'm thinking of. Anyone still have have that FXZ or a link to it for bionic's on leak 223? ;w; i'd very much like to finally get off of the leak and back onto the OTA upgrade path so when they release official kitkat for the bionic i won't totally be left in the dust.......

Sadly we will never see an official ota KitKat release. But if you do want the latest JB release you could just use that FXZ instead of taking the OTA. Faster and cleaner.

so the 223 leak is better than what we got with the OTA JB? ;w; i just looked up kitkat for bionic and yeah....compatibility issues.....why us ;w;.....i can't wait to get my upgrade now more than ever.....Moto X here i come!

I actually like JB or just must have gotten used to it. If you don't use any of the motoblur apps or you webdock, cm11 which is kk based actually runs very smooth for myself

If you want to get your bionic on stock JB 4.1.2, I would suggest using SamuriHL's House of Moto to FXZ. You can find it here.

I've been running cm 11 since it came out. It is really nice, but then again, I've grown accustomed to cm roms on my devices.
