Yes. Wait for build three.

He has released a pre build three. A full build three will be along in a few days.

OP udated with new link..thanks zanoodi..

After running this for about a week in beta two, and a day in beta three, I think it's time for a basic review. At first glance this Rom is very nice. It's very fluid and the new features, such as the new browser, are cool.

You have an added widgets tab in the app drawer to add widgets to your desktop. So no more holding the homescreen to add widgets. This of course could be a drawback for those that are so used to holding the homescreen to add a widget.

I guess it would all come down to who is willing to get used to the new layout and who refuses to. You do have the option of using what's called "Nova Launcher" that will add the holding home for widgets feature back. System menus are also totaly revamped for ease of access.

From Running this Rom I can tell you it is a 2nd init Rom but also runs as though it was a stock 1st init Rom. It has the fluidity of a 2nd init but benchmarks as a 1st init. I'm assuming this is because the port isn't stable yet. It very well might outbenchmark other 2nd init Roms when it's complete.

Now on to the downsides to this Rom. One major drawback to this Rom, and other versions of it, is the camera. There is no source file to take the camera driver from so it has to be writen from the bottom up which is not an easy task. So for the time being the camera is non excistant.

ICS, or Android 4.0, was designed to work on the latest hardware and is not meant to run on the Droid X. I, among many others, am very excited to see this ported over to our DX's but our hardware leaves us with on fundimental flaw, power.

ICS being designed to run on a duel core processor with the latest GPU leaves us DX users at a disadvantage. So while ICS may, in time, be 100% successfully ported over to the DX it will never live up to it's full potential.

In my honest opinion, ICS would be better suited to be ported over to at least the Droid X2 as it has the better hardware and potential to run it. This of course is assuming the X2 won't get ICS in the near future.

So there you have it. A very basic review of this Rom. This isn't meant to scare anyone away from at least trying it out. That option is soley up to you. Just keep in mind that it is STILL beta. So there are many glitches still to be attended to.

Feel free to check out the link for beta 3 to see what these glitches are as SOME of them have workarounds. I actualy love this Rom and can't wait for it to be complete. Even with the hardware drawbacks this Rom runs faster than any 2nd init Rom I have ever used.

It can be tricky to get it working but it does work with this. Check out the disscusion board. there are many posts about Swype and getting it working proper.
