Leaks??

Let me bring you up to speed...
Leaks are unofficial Stock ROMs that Motorola developed for the future release of Ice Cream Sandwich for the Bionic. I believe there have been a total of 5 leaks the latest one being 6.7.232. There are threads here regarding those leaks.
Isn't it risky to get one.

There's always risks in regards to anything that is unofficial.

I have been running ICS long before my buddies Razr and really digging it. My data drops have apparently disappeared and Smart Actions has been a God Send for me.
Who knows when the "Official" update will land for our Bionics and honestly, who cares?
One precaution I live by is, make sure there is a way to revert back to stock before taking the plunge on a Leak.
You want to make sure you have a way to get back on the correct path when Big Red finally pushes the updates.
The people here will help you and all the info you need can be found here if you look and listen.

And lots of people like myself who willingly take the plunge to see if we can revert our phones so you won't get stuck.
The leaks are not for the timid, and will require you to do some home work, in terms of how to get them working on your phone - but they are also a godsend in every form - connectivity is way better, the system now uses both cores (so more efficient use of memory, CPU, and battery) and Bigod20 the UI is very very nice.
