Owners of the original Motorola DROID can exhale a collective sigh of relief, now that an Ice Cream Sandwich project is underway for their phone. Unfortunately the CyanogenMod team has not changed their plans to drop support for the device. We all know the CM crew has been very busy as of late; in fact, they were hard at work last night — when a handful of the team decided to crash our Hangout on Google+ (fun times), as you can see from the pic below:
But that story is for a different time and a different place. We’re here now to talk about the Motorola DROID, and the ICS build it received, thanks tokfazzfrom XDA. The build is still in pre-alpha stages, so expect bugs if you decide to give this a spin. The video below shows us the progress so far, which looks to be coming along nicely, but this is still far from being a “daily driver”.
If you’d like to try Ice Cream Sandwich out for yourself, make a backup and head over to the ROM thread on XDA. Enjoy — ICS is a real treat, and you’re going to be sad to see it go when you restore your backup. Just remember, even though the CyanogenMod team has turned its back on your phone, there are plenty of other talented folks out there who haven’t. Now just don’t go dropping support for the myTouch 4G, or we’ll have a serious problem. Love ya, Team Douche!
Android addict would be the two words I would use to describe myself. It’s the first thing I check in the morning, and the last thing I check before bed. I’m 30 years old, my first Android phone was the G1, shortly after its launch. I have also owned a myTouch 3G, and I have a myTouch 4G, which I am absolutely in love with. Other than Android, I’m a father, brother, college student, and almost-full-time employee at a local brewery/restaurant here in the cornfields of Iowa. If there’s anything you’d like to know, please feel free to hit me up. I’m a pretty nice guy, and I respond as quickly as I can. Thanks for stopping by!

We know the Logitech Revue is not the king of the Google TV devices. That doesn’t mean they aren’t still worth something though. After Logitech decided to exit the Google TV game and dropped the Revue to $99.99, the...
Promises are promises. In the past, promises from manufactures didn’t mean squat. Take Motorola for example, they were supposed to unlock things a LONG time ago. We are still waiting, maybe now that Google owns them tha...
