“Never ask for ETAs.”  Probably the most well known quote from the CyanogenMod Team.  It makes sense though, seeing that greatness can not be rushed.  Well I wouldn’t call this an actual ETA, but Cyanogen himself has gone ahead and posted up a blog letting everyone know their plans for distribution of CM9 – the newest custom ROM offering based on Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich.  According to Cyanogen, thanks to changes Google has made in their code, the CyanogenMod Team is going to be working extra hard to create working builds for multiple devices.  Little hiccups like this have never stopped them before.  No need for worry there. 

Both the DROIDX2 and DROID Bionic are now supported by ROM Manager thanks to @koush and @cvpcs.  You will need to be rooted and then bootstrapped in order to use it, but you probably already knew that.  Official Bionic bootstrap should be out soon – the current version works just fine for now though.

For those new to ROM Manager, simply look at this as one of your best tools when it comes to switching ROMs, managing backups, and taking care of a variety of root-only tasks.  One of the top 5 apps for rooted devices of all time, right here.  Now we just need a whole bunch of ROMs to play with on both devices.

Well our boy Koush looks to be up to something with his newest update of ROM Manager. Cloud Storage for our backups? That would be a very pleasant update indeed. The update also brings with it a few bug fixes, but beyond that we’re just concerned about the cloud backup storage. Will be quite interesting to see how that will be integrated into the way we flash ROMs and store our files. Plus no more taking up half of my SD Card with 8GB’s worth of backups. As soon as this becomes more of a reality, be sure that we’ll let you all know.

Cheers Chris!
