If you want OTA upgrade, flash an official motoblur SBF first and then do the OTA upgrade. I believe that SBF for ICS ROM will also come out shortly. you can also directly flash it.

Do NOT do this! If you want back on the official updates, use a fruitcake to get back to stock and never update via OTA. You've got an unlocked bootloader, so doing so is just asking for a brick.

It shouldn't take long after the OTA becomes available for a fruitcake to be made from it.

    IMHO

    1- Neutrino (with a script to reduce memory usage and speed)
    2- Morrisoft Gen
    3- Cyanogen 7.2

    I find Cm7.2 rc3 to have the best battery life while maintaining great preformance !

    I am in the same boat. We are in limbo at the moment. All the GB roms have stopped being developed. And ICS roms are to buggy. Many apps don't work with it and the cam is broken.

    I have a lapdock staring at me at the moment and I have got no use for it. I tried all the ROMs based on Blur so I could use the Webtop but none of them work that well for me. Reboots, call drops etc.

    At the moment I am using CM7 R3 and its pretty good. Replaced the launcher with Xperia S Launcher as I find it a bit better then the one that CM7 comes with.

    Motorola are showing off ICS at the moment and it looks pretty good. I don't mind the idea of using the webtop with the ICS tablet interface. OpenOffice and many other programs are being ported for the ICS tablet. So pretty soon we will see apps on android that we are used to using on Linux, Mac and windows systems.

    The Atrix is definitely getting ICS so its just a matter of waiting. Once an official release is done we will see a load of new fully working ROMs pop up all over the place.

    This is my setup at the moment using CM7 RC3.

    Also made some slight changes. I have added the CWM zips to this post of some of the system changes I have made. I am also using Miui Lock screen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288096
    The theme I am using for the lock screen is this: http://www.mediafire.com/?v5l749ru2u2qro7

    Plus I changed the cam to the ICS one and using the ICS GenieWidget and Miui music player.

    So for now I am just going to keep using CM7 and hold off until the official ICS comes out and someone uploads it so I can flash it.

    If you don't want to mess about trying to get your install like mine I have built a ROM with the changes I have made that you can flash.

    You can also try this one. It has been heavily modified with improvements to memory, wifi and 3g. But because I was trying out Gallery ICS I replaced it with the Gallery it came with so the image viewer and video player are a bit buggy.

    I have added these lines of code to the build.prop to improve the rom.
    Code:

    I have also improved the GPS so it locks on a lot fast and to more satellites.
