Good kernels - Motorola Droid Bionic

Since the stock kernel on the droid bionic is only 1 gigahertz I was wondering What other good kernels are out there
Thanks!

Bionic is a locked boot loader no custom kernels. You can find the thread in dev section for omap4 overclocks

Right, no custom kernels. Although mine runs super smooth oc'd to 1.25ghz.

How's the battery life at that speed? I'm holding off on doing it because I have enough problems with my battery dying constantly as it is.

Razr rom?

Has anyone tried to flash the razr deodexed rom to this phone yet. Are they identical as far as hardware goes? I'm tempted to try it

Different processor for starters. Also different gpu i believe.

The razr uses the same processor as the bionic, the OMAP 4430. It also has the same GPU as well.
The CPU on the razr has be overclocked to run at 1.2Ghz.
The galaxy nexus uses the OMAP 4460 which clocks at 1.5GHz and uses a slightly more powerful GPU than that the 4430 uses.
The nexus has been under locked to run at 1.2Ghz.
In short. The razr and bionic have the same processor and gpu, where they differ is at the kernel level.

So different kernal and locked bootloader= not a good idea?

Processor
From what I have read personally, the Razr has the 4460 as well as the Nexus. The Bionic has the 4430. I am pretty sure that is correct.
Sorry, Just an observation.

No, the Razr has a 4430
I heard 4460 as well, but i also dont have one. Id die though if it was another d2g scheme where they repackage a phone with 1 new option and re-release it as "special" if its the same phone only no removable battery. #Phuckthatfone

OMFG The galaxy nexus is the first phone released with 4460.
As for the RAZR...
The motorola site list the processor as 4430.
It was listed as 4460 on their site after the nexus premier but they changed it back and followed it up in the forums by stating they made a typo which was now corrected.
The teardown of the RAZR also reveals A 4430 CHIP.
IT IS NOT A 4460.

I hope this is possible for the Photon 4G, and by the way, the rom can be modified to work with the Bionic.

Possible overclock?

I found this thread on the bionic forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439013 with overclock zips. The modules for d3 are available here http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/downloads/list from what I read in the official thread here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14511-op...4-overclocking-kernel-modulesofficial-thread/ it would show up in set cpu and wouldn't require having the MIN jacked all the time. anyone see any reason this wouldn't work?

Working good here. Clocked at 1.2
[edit] So apps do see the max as 1.2, Rom manager, cm settings etc. Linpack shows better performance no different than the 1200 overclock binary. The only thing missing is the 1000 slot, 300 600 800 and 1200 are all useable.
I'd say it's very safe just don't go too high.

Reading in the other threads it appears that much over that and phone will just reboot due to lack of voltage. I thought this would be nice in that the kernel sees the change and we don't have to have the cpu at full throttle

Go to the opptimizer website (Tekahuna's website).
Then go to updates. There should be updated modules there for droid 3 with voltage control.
Always post your results and questions on the official thread here...

Yes I just read through the entire thread. Voltage control is a fail for the bionic sadly due to reasons I mostly but not entirely understood. I think the d3 is gonna have the same issue from what I (sorta) understood. However when I have time to sit down and try this I will def post in the official thread to let him know my experience.
I just wanted to show it to the xda d3 community, as the idea of voltage control and a 1.5 or higher oc is exciting (if you're like me and get excited about such things )

I was looking in downloads. OC'd and increase voltage works, my device doesn't like being oc'd much even with the volts up it's unstable above 1.2
What voltage are you trying? 1388000?

Bionic Or Thunderbolt

Hey guys Verizon needs to replace my Thunderbolt and after so many replacements they offered me a bionic. Would it be a good choice over my Bolt? We have S-off and Unlocked bootloader.
Pros of bionic:
Dual core 1.0ghz
1gb ram
Lots of great devs
Cons:
Stock has blur
Locked bootloader
And it's moto so probably no stock ics for about a year
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
another PRO for Bionic is killer long battery life since the .901 update, .902 is killer battery life also.
I uses to have the thunderbolt. The bionic is a much better phone.

Yeah this one's a no brainer. Get the bionic.
Regarding the above cons:
• Hexec workaround was recently posted allowing for custom kernels. This was really the last issue caused by the locked bootloader. In less than a month it will be old news
• There are CM9, AOKP, AOSP, and MIUI variants of ICS available now and improving daily. Who needs stock ICS?
My buddy has a tbolt and there's no comparison in the speed, responsiveness and battery life.
Bionic is on it's way with free extended battery

Well I told her I use the extended battery on my thunderbolt and told her that 4G phones have poor battery life. So she said ok free extended battery.
And now I'm getting $40 from a coworker for the thunderbolts extended battery and the verizon case I had. :thumbup:

I think the skilled developers are on Motorola though. Look at what these guys are doing with a locked bootloader. We got a handful of ice cream with a locked bootloader. How much more can they do if it was unlocked.

im part of a concession line and we get upgrades every year. best buy mobile has been treating me so well that i just ended up buying the bionic. i got a tbolt for free and it was a great phone but when bionic came out like 2 months later i bought the bionic. i got it for 230 at cowboom.com. thats were we send all our phones that we get returned or serviced. its EXTREMELY cheap. spread it. i love my bionic and i plan on selling it tho. im using my tbolt because i got the infected rom on it with beats. i like it but i kind of miss my bionic. either way rezound here i come!!
Why would you NOT trade your garbage 3G tBolt for a bionic? Even if you had the data issues with the bionic, it's 100x better.

Verizon is exchanging my Droid charge for the bionic, any thoughts on that? Which would you choose?

Well so far I like it. Battery life is better then my bolt. I would get the bionic for sure. Also, just a hint tell them you saw online that to transfer data from your phone to the PC you need to Motorola USB cable just a heads up

I Kno, i call it a 3G phone compared to a bionic. Sooooo slow. worst radio software ever.

Actually now that I've had it I would have taken a bolt again is so weird all this stuff you have to do to flash anything. And it seems lime the only roms out are ics which are ok but still too many things broken for me. And there are no stock like roms with alot of features like on sense. But I like the phone. I just had more options on the bolt being I'm a themer I want something solid I can theme. But the bolt was the best phone for everything. And my data connection and speed is the same on both phones.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
One thing though is the bionic screen and colors in it suck big time
And the rom selection on the bolt was crazy huge.

On board with the Bionic

Just made the jump to the Bionic from the Thunderbolt. Just did a flat trade locally for it. Awesome device.
Will be rooting soon. Anything I should know on the front end?

Yeah. I'll probably do that this morning.
Thanks for the help. What ROM do you prefer? I'm leaning towards the Gummy ROM but I'm undecided. Lol
MOTOBLUR isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Lol

If you want a fully functional ROM, go with eclipse or kinetx. ALL of the ICS roms are still BETAs and updates LAG immensely. Jus so you know.

I had a lot of accessories with it. Mainly a Trident case and two extended batteries.
But I definitely think so.
Guy already had a Razr Maxx so I'm not sure what he was gonna use mine for.

I would like to get the Razr MAXX... But good trade I have the Tbolt too but use my Bionic mostly better device for the most part.
Just wish the camera was as good as the TBolts.
Went with Eclipse 2.2 with Titanium theme. Solid so far.
Now, the true test: battery life!
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
yep the ics roms are actually ics. they have no hardware acceleration yet though so flash doesn't work. also depending on what area your in ppl have problems with data drops. when it drops you gotta reboot to get it back. we need to get an official moto update with a better kernel and ics drivers to get it really solid.

Quadrant scores... Huge difference

My last bionic (.2233 ICS leak) scored a 3032. Was in the same range consistently. I just placed an insurance claim. I'm now running the .232 leak and can't get over 2300... Any ideas what is causing the significantly lower scores?

check your clock speed. your old phone ws probly at 1.2ghz and now your new one sounds like its at 1.0
You're absolutely right. So newer phone runs slower? Any known fixes for this?

As far as I know it seems to be random. I dont think its specifically newer phones.
After a littlw research, I read that 1.2 ghz chips that failed testing for the razr where placed in the bionic since it was only set to run at 1 ghz but they overclock to the 1.2 if you have one of the failed razr chips.
