Will CM10 ever "officially" be released for the Droid, or is it no longer supported?
Probably not but I THINK kfazz is working on CM10.

Sadly that would probably be quite a long shot but hey who am to give up on the death defying original Droid :beer:

The CyanogenMod team made a statement long ago that the Droid would have official support of CM 7.2, but nothing beyond that.
So, no, there is absolutely no reason to assume the Droid will receive CM10 officially.
Unofficial ports are an entirely different story, however...
Hey guys, I have a question for any android geniuses out there that might have an answer. Will it/ Is it possible to dual boot Gingerbread as my main OS on Safestrap and have the latest ICS leak/ official ICS (when it is released) as my secondary OS?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I don't think so. Safestrap uses the same Kernel on the safe side that's on the nonsafe side. You have to have an ICS Kernel to run a leak. It may be possible with kexec once it is further developed, but I'm not sure.

May be possible? How so?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
As I'm sure you already know the Bionic has a locked bootloader so we can't run custom kernels on it. Some really smart people developed a way around this called kexec. Kexec will let the device boot to a certain point past the security checks and then take over and boot into a different custom kernel giving us the ability to run custom kernels. Just Google it and you can find a lot of info on it. As of now it is still very young in it's development. Hashcode, Dhacker, and possibly more developers that I dont know of are working on it and are making great progress. Safestrap 2.11 currently supports it and we have a few roms that utilize it. The reason I say it may be possible in the future is because with Kexec and safestrap you can boot a custom kernel on the safe side. But I am not a developer and I could be way off on this.

Stock CWM Packages for Nexus 4
I have created some stock ROMs and recoveries that are flashable through Clockworkmod or TWRP. These are taken straight from the Google factory image releases and packaged to be flashed. It can be useful if you want to go back to stock, but you don't have access to a computer at the moment for fastboot. Also, devs feel free to use this as your ROM base. Enjoy
Please note that I don't have my Nexus 4 yet, so please report any issues you may have and I will fix them immediately. Thanks.

Just Google it. I'm sorry, but you are probably not going to get a full answer for all this on XDA, and the more short answers you get the more questions you'll have. Do the research before you root your phone, it will prevent headaches, for you and everyone else.
Thank you so much for the stock recovery and stock ROM, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I am just curious, each time there is an update to the OS via Google, do you also plan on making a flashable zip version of the update as well. For example when 4.2.1 is released? Peace.

I'm assuming we can just flash the stock recovery and then check for software update for OTA, 4.2.1?

I really don't know, because I don't have a nexus 4. But I've read that you can just download the ota and sideload it through cwm.

Can I just replace the recovery image from 4.2.1 in the zip file to have the latest stock recovery?

Hello,
Am I able to install ROMs that are stock based if I do not have unlocked bootloader?
I am specifically talking about this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180208
Thanks!
I don't think so,maybe later the dev will release a version for locked bootloader.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Okay thanks for the quick answer.
I just got confused because I checked this thread about ROMs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171958
And on the first 3 it specifically mentioned [Unlocked Bootloader] and the 4th did not say that, so I figured I might be lucky^^
Since there isn't a CWM recovery for locked bootloaders yet there is no way to flash ROMs with a locked bootloader. Once there is it will just be a case of flashing the ROM and then the stock Sony kernel.

Hi All,
I'm new to Xda developers forums, pardon me asking. I did was follow the SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto thread and had sucessful rooting on stock kit kat at&t. I searched the threads for custom recovery for 4.4 since safestrap is not supported on 4.4.
Any one know which custom recovery works with, device is not unlocked bootloader.
Thanks in advanced!
No unlocked bootloader, no custom recovery.
I'm using safestrap fine on 4.4, but I'm still on a 4.2 bootloader.
