    No reason, one dev is working on AOSP ICS, another on CM9, and yet another on AOKP ICS (<-- same thing as AOSP, just unmodified kernel)

    Why must every thread be derailed? Wouldn't cm7 be easier? It would be cool to have it as well as

    To each their own i guess. Some people prefer windows over Linux too. It is what it is.

    I Rather Have CM7 Than Stock. I Also Rather Have An Old CM7 That's Stable And Fast Than A New CM9&10 That's Buggy.

    Well, seeing as there seems to be a sufficient demand for it (and my ICS work has come to a halt until Feb when I get a new computer) I will have a look at porting CM7 to the Connect

    Can I switch my motion with my wife's connect online? Or do I call 611. Does it cost anything?

    You can't use MPCS dot com or *228 to swap two active phones if that's the case; one or the other has to be decomissioned. You have to call customer svc for that ;) You'll have to talk to a live rep, just ask 'em LOL.

    Oh, and by the way.... I wouldn't remove a proprietary UIIC card if I was U... MetroPCS already confirmed with the LG Esteem, that, if you lose the UIIC you're SCREWED and will never get a replacement! Some phones you can get a new one though :thinking:

    Just a question, in your opinion what is the level of difficulty porting cm7 to connect will be?

    If it were easy we'd all be doing it, lol. No but seriously I imagine pretty damn difficult if you're not familiar with it..

    Intermediate. Porting is easy. It's getting everything to work that is a pain.

    lol yeah I sort of meant how hard for HIM specifically lol.

    Well I'm virtually useless but you have a guinea pig here if you ever need one. Willing to brick my own device for the cause!
