0

Despite the Droid X having a locked bootloader, the popular Verizon device has received a CyanogenMod ICS port. Those of you owning a Droid X will have some time to wait before you get an official Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update if ever.

Droid X Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich PortWorking on the Droid X ICS Port:

  • Radio (including 3G, calls, SMS)
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS
  • 2D (hardware accelerated!) & 3D (kinda buggy)
  • Wifi (if it doesn’t work, reboot)
  • Sensors (including rotation/accelerometer)
  • Audio (DSP force closes rarely, but still works)
  • SD Card
  • All hardware buttons
  • Charging
  • USB

Not Working on the Droid X ICS Port:

  • Camera
  • Voice Input (excluding calls)
  • MMS
  • Speakerphone (sounds + music still work through speaker)

There are many bugs still and you may not want to use it yet as your every day phone OS but a very nice start. If your interested in the Ice Cream Sandwich port for your Droid X it is available as a nightly build. Be sure to backup before you attempt the flash.
