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 to kfazz from 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!
