Bionic has CWM now

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.

I think I'll just wait for Hashcode's Recovery/Bootstrap. Should be out in the next day or so.

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

Derp I edited my in wrong thread. lol

Oh, nonsense!
I EXPECT my Clockwork Recovery to have auto-screen orientation, working radio with 4G, battery meter, audio, AND 100 naked ladies.

Remember people that we still need an sfb file.

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.

If you're talking about a SBF file for D3, there already is a Verizon one floating around.

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…

If anything hopefully the systems being similar would make it possible for devs to kill two birds with one stone.. tho I feel like bionic is going to continue being focal point.

^ 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.

[CM7] on Droid Bionic with dual boot!

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!
Hashcode Github: https://github.com/Hashcode
Details can be found here:

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

Nice!)

Yeah can we at least get an alpha build Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

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?

moto also released the D3's source to sourceforge today. wouldn't that include the audio bits?

I am of course looking at the source for ICS as we speak..
Possibly even testing how the source compiles.
But, I don't want to send the wrong message. I don't think ICS will be usable in any real way for the D3 till I either get source built up for the omap audio stuff (or a new kernel)
I'm just toying around with it, and getting use to the new layers.
@sarreq: I don't see any new source on Sourceforge for the moment:

I've been following Hascode's CM7 since I got my D3. He's been great and the support and discussion on it is great. Haven't read too much on the release of CM9 but seems like ICS is the main feature it needs before its release. I'm excited to try more ROMS on the D3, great phone!

This topic is way too small aosp android 4.0 roms are popping up everywhere except here

im sure you could repo it and give it a shot! lol

Yes, alpha, buggy, useless roms.
Look, it will take us a while to get it running but we will have it. Just relax.

I'd like to repeat: I'm not ignoring ICS
I'm actively working on it in my spare time between: D3 CM7 updates, Safestrap updates, and helping with the CM7 for Bionic.
Add to that: I'm also watching CM9 develop and doing testing there as well (I have 3 repo's going at the moment).
AndroidSims has is correct tho: It will be a toy to play with for the moment, even if I get it booting to the OS. No audio, no phone.
IMHO, CM9 w/ our current kernel will get us a lot further due to the compatibility issues. But, obviously CM9 will take a while.

Liberty roms

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.

[DEV] LTE for AOSP ROMs (ICS) and other stuffs

Hello,
Some of you may know me and some not. But, my name is Hashcode and I'm the lead (and only dev) for the Droid 3.
I have always been involved with Bionic development somewhat, but never directly due to my lack of a device.
That has changed. I was offered a dev Bionic at a good price by an XDA user, and it arrived today.
I have several goals in mind for it:
- My first project is to bring up LTE in AOSP ROMs such as ICS and CM7. I can say (and many of you know) that this is not an easy task. I will be re-coding the entire LTE framework that Motorola put into stock Moto Blur (Gingerbread) so that it works with the RIL libraries that we currently have for Bionic.
This may take a few weeks to iron out and debug, but I think it will be well worth the effort as it pushes the Bionic into the next big era of Android. A phone w/o LTE data is mainly just for looks, and I'm sure it's been frustrating as hell for the entire community to watch the world go by.
- Full support and testing of Safestrap for the Bionic. I hear that webtop doesn't work like it should, and perhaps that there is a ROM or 2 that give problems? Let me know.
- I'll be working with dhacker29 to help finish ICS for the Bionic. A lot of my code is already in the build, and now I can port over the in-progress camera code as well.
I will be posting status updates here and RootzWiki as well as on my blog:
http://www.hash-of-codes.blogspot.com
Feel free to follow me on twitter: hashcode0f
Game on.

I look forward to your help with the Bionic. It has a lot of potential and it will be nice to see some things come to fruition.

Glad to see you finally got a bionic! Looking forward to what you and dhacker come up with

Finally!!!! Things are getting better.
