OG Droid Gets Jelly Bean ROM

[dgstorm]

Will the wonders that developers are able to accomplish ever cease?!? I certainly intend that it never does. Apparently, some ingenious folks were able to shoe-horn Jelly Bean onto the original Motorola Droid. Obviously, there are still several bugs and it will need a ton of testing, but this is pretty amazing. It's like cramming Windows 7 onto a 486 DX2-66, or like shoving the engine from a Nissan GTR into a Model-T Ford, or like putting miracle whip on a mud-pie...

Okay, that last one made no sense at all, but you get the idea.

Hmmm....If this can be stable and smooth some day I might bust out the OG and play.

Did the OG ever get a "smooth" ICS?

Yeehah! Time to make my OG do the IMPOSSIBLE!

Last I checked before upgrading everything worked except the camera and a couple other things but it was smooth.

Miracle Whip....on mud pie...?? That's like ketchup on an Ice Cream Sandwich! *groan*

I think it's funny that someone would take time to stuff Jelly Bean into an OG Droid, yet we still don't have a stable ICS for the TBolt (even after the leaked "official" ROM). I have this odd feeling I'll be switching back to my ancient Droid and parking the TBolt for awhile! OK, maybe not, but...you know what I mean.

Who made it?

very cool to see the OG sporting some jelly bean, might have to boot that bad boy up and give this a shot since it isn't really doing much on the shelf next to me.

I think its great to see someone got JB onto the D1, what a device!

Lol, agreed.

I'm holding out for Key Lime Pie on the OG!

Woo! Now that's sexy.

I tried to use my D1 the other day and it felt so foreign in my hand after all this time using my D4. I wouldn't want to go back but it does show the power of an unlocked bootloader... maybe that's why carriers are so afraid of unlocked bootloaders.

The carriers don't want a phone that the devs can make brand new every time you get tired of it.
