UPDATE ON MAY 29, 2012: I'm sorry guys.

I won't be releasing my project. I'm actually stopping the effort to port the rom. I can't do it, it just is way too complicated to complete.

This means, until I decide to work on something new or find something worth porting, I am not developing for the D3 or Droid Bionic anymore.

I won't be picking up Motoblur + Android 4.0.4 either, so eliminate that question as well.

I hope you guys won't get mad.

it would be great to bring a banging ass sense rom our way like 3.0 or 3.5

I'm all for options, but Sense just isn't my cup of tea. Not to mention it would be Gingerbread based (I don't believe any HTC device currently has ICS), and many people (myself included) would see it as a step back.

What exactly has you hung up, as far as ICS is concerned (just a question)? Everything works, with the exception of face unlock, and some spotty bluetooth issues. Granted, I'm not overly familiar with the GSM builds and their respective bugs, but most people really seem to be enjoying the 4.0 builds...

My hope is that we see something completely new...not a port of an existing Galaxy Nexus ROM, but one built specifically for the D3 and other Moto devices. I would love to see something fresh and original, yet streamlined and efficient, that we can all enjoy. :)

The HTC One X has it :p Actually, I think all of the new HTC One series phones have it.

I'm definitely interested. I prefer having full functionality for my phone, so the ICS ROMs are out for me for now, and I prefer the GB ROMs to be unthemed. It seems that all of the themed ROMs have something that I think looks mediocre (bad fonts that make it difficult to tell normal from bold, or that flow badly; on screen button elements that do not work right; mediocre battery indicators on the status bar; unattractive notification pull-downs; etc.)

Have you taken a look at mavrom? Youve got a lot of theme choices at one click of a button.

Here's an update:
This rom is a pain in the ass. It really is. So the chances of me completing this, with school and other things have gone down to about 20% from 70%.

But here are some details:
Gingerbread 2.3.6
Later Software from another device (I'm not naming it)
No GSM compatibility

Sorry GSM users, there isn't a way GSM will work on the rom until the device I'm porting this from is updated later this year.

Are you using the Bell or Chinese ROM? I worked on the Bell 2.3.6 port, and it worked, but my modding/theme-ing skills are weak, so it didn't move much past stock appearance with some build.prop tweaks.

    The locked bootloader was one of the main problems. #unlockthedamnbootloader!
