Are there custom kernals available for the Droid 4 (maserati)? If so, which are recommended?

Well, there is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223517. It's for the razr but the guts are the same. I ran an earlier version on my D4 for a little while and it performed alright. Honestly though, CM11 is running flawlessly for me on the normal kernel it comes with. Unless you're experiencing significant lag or something I would leave it alone.

Yes, I was wondering specifically if JBX is compatible. Anyone else have experience running this on D4?

I have been using this for a few days now. Safestrap recovery running CM11 4.4.2 in rom slot 1, updated JBX 4.4 hybrid. No issues so far and battery life is great.

i first diiscovered this rom on this thread
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/218745-jelly-bean-rom-starting-roll-out.html
Here is the download link for the rom
and here is the link for the gapps
I did not build this but i have tested it. the data does work sometimes if you play with the settings but no camera. its still a very early release created by dhacker29 and hashcode and i just wanted to share it here too.
Hmmm I think I'll stick with CM for now. Too many bugs not to notice. Maybe if the Bionic wasn't my main device.....
Looks cool, defignitly not a daily driver though.

It will only run with an ICS leak in the unsafe partition?
I've been using it for about 24 hours now. Very stable, fast, smooth, and promising. Only issues I've had are the known issues of camera and data.

Actually right now the CM10 is preferred to use safestrap instead of bootstrap since it's in alpha stage. I tried it with safestrap 2.0 while running .232 on safeside. Very smooth and responsive with WiFi only for data.
You might want to brush up on your bootstrap skills since the ICS leak roms will only be able to load up with it to completely run. The ICS leak roms will require a much larger partition to run on and safestrap doesn't provide it.
Hi, new to the bionic but have been flashing my x and x2 for a while. I'm on the .232 leak with safestrap 2.0 installed. I got as far as >safestrap menu>enable safe system but then a warning screen appeared saying something along the lines of "are you sure, this cannot be undone", which scared me. Obviously i would like to return to my unsafe side.
also, i have read this link http://www.droidforu...ions.html������ which says i must go to mounts and storage and format /system. however i havent seen that step anywhere else i've looked. I assumed once i got to the safe system i should just flash the cm10 zip and gapps then wipe the big three. this is preventing me from flashing cm9 as well.
in regards to the rom itself, any update on data, im in a pretty well covered 4g area. also, i use my phone as a hotspot around my apartment and was wondering if anyone could confirm the cm10 hotspot works.
thanks in advance if you can answer any or all of these questions

Yes. Be on an ICS leak, and if you use Safestrap you install it on the safe side.

Vague reply is vague and potentially FUD. If you could explain your comment about the safestrap partition size, it would likely be appreciated.
The way I understand it is that Bootstrap is required for custom ROMs based on blurry ICS. If you're flashing an AOSP/CM based custom ROM, then Safestrap is sufficient. The reason being that Safestrap stores /system inside the /preinstall partition since it's mounted on boot and the internal or external sdcards, I'm thinking, are not.
/preinstall is not large enough after the ICS leak has been flashed to store a full blur based custom ROM and the original /system
Why moto decided to mess with the partition tables is beyond me. I can only guess that they needed more room on /system because ICS is bulkier than Gingerbread and they robbed Peter to pay Paul by taking the left over space from /preinstall. Novel solution, but it causes problems with safestrap.
This remap of the partition tables would also explain why an ICS version of Safestrap and Bootstrap had to be made.
safestrapped over .232 no data and i have the screen rotation bug. still awesome though
anyone have a working link to this and maybe screen shots?
[Q] Only JB ROM ?
Hello...is this the only JB ROM available for Bionic? As always, thank you to the Devs!
Seems to be. everyone is waiting for the first FXZ Leak of JB to really get it reliable. ( dont hold your breath from what i hear).. as i understand it.
If you check out rombot.org formally droidhive sparkyman has released tormented. It's based on cm10 he is updating it frequently and he is very supportive in the thred . A lot of people are getting solid data 3g more than 4g. Its very fast and quite stable. Here's a link.

FYI, this build is being revamped to use the new kexec kernel which will improve the overall experience a lot.
I'll post more details as it gets closer. Right now that build has some data issues that we're working through, and the camera is non-functional.

As someone who has owned the Bionic since launch, and just jumped to CM 10.1 a few days ago, I'll chime in here. It's a much better phone since CM 10.1. That said, be prepared for issues initially. I had a lot of problems and was ready to give up - until I did a factory reset on the CM 10.1 ROM. If you decide to make the switch, you can root, install SafeStrap, and flash CM 10.1 and Gapps with confidence, as long as don't mind doing a factory reset and rebuilding everything. Since the phone is new to you, that shouldn't be much of a deterrent.
I personally would recommend making the plunge.
Thanks a lot... is there any thing not working... i heard the camera is fixed...

Yep, camera works fine. Check out the last page or two of the post related to the ROM you intend to flash to see what kind of issues people are working. From the Official CM 10.1 ROM:
WHAT'S NOT WORKING (NOTE: I expect to be able to fix all of these issues, it's just taking some time):
Gallery / Media FC see top of the post for FIX.
HDMI
Dock/Dock Settings
Some random reboots being looked at.

What did you mean when you said you had to reset on the CM ROM? Does the ROM still stay on the phone after the reset? Also, what did you have to do to rebuild everything?
I have another post asking for advice on rooting and ROMs. If you could help me out too, that would be great. I am interested in CM.

After installing the CM 10.1 20130326 NIGHTLY for the first time on a newly rooted Bionic, the phone was extremely unstable. A factory reset made all that go away. I elected to download all my apps again for a fresh start. Right now, it's working well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.Hello all thank you for you time. I'm running cm10.1 unofficial nightly build 05.22.13 on my touchpad with the latest adobe flash apk and Firefox app from Googleplay.
The issue that I'm having is my display would go to sleep as configure per my display setting while I'm streaming flash content at full screen. Not sure why this is happening and not sure if this is just my device. I didn't have this issue with cm9. Only notice this with cm10 and now 10.1. Theodd thing is that this issue is also happening with my nook color and nexus 7 with cm10.1
My current work around is setting display to time out 30 mins and touch the display every now and then.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again

Flash has never worked well on 4.1+ ROMs on the Touchpad in my experience. Flash isn't supported on 4.1+ but on other devices its still smooth so its a Touchpad Android issue not a Flash issue.
If you want Flash stay with CM9. I went back to CM9 after being on CM10 a while because I wanted stable Flash and couldn't really think of any new CM10 features that I needed.

First and foremost thank you for your input. It is true that flash is no longer supported on 4.1 + but it can and should be stable once installed. One example I can provide is with my nexus seven. With stock rom and latest flash APk installed it runs Smoth no problem but when it is rooted and custom rom installed display issue occurs. There must be some config in the rom where display would remain awake when certain apps are running at full screen. Also its hard to see that its a touch pad issue because this is happening to other devices that I've installed custom 4.1+ rom. I'm currently back with cm9. For stability until cm 10.1 is more stable will switch.

It appears to be a Touchpad specific problem (graphics drivers maybe), since flash works fine on my Bionic running CM10.2. On the Touchpad running anything CM10 or newer flash player acts weird, like the graphics are messed up, its basically unusable.
Evervolv is a pretty good ROM, the nice part is it doesn't require repartitioning beyond what ACMEInstaller3 does. But this rom still has adobe flash issues.

Flash support past CM9 is hit and miss on the TP, I doubt your GF would mind using CM9 or notice the differences. You can try a variety of different Web Browsers to see what works best for flash games on Android. It might be best to test it out before committing to a purchase. Devices other than the HP TP work better for flash using newer versions of Android.
I use Boat browser and that can use the flash I have installed. Not sure about your game though.
Hi... I've been using Albinoman887's 4.2.2 and everything looks OK and working perfect (except signal bars)but want opinios for Other rooms about battery life and phone performance.
By the way some screenshots of my phones But both are running the same.
(I Apologize If my english isn't good enough)
What about share mods?
any kitkat rom is better than the jb's. Just installed pac and must say it's pretty nice. No real issues other than the 4.4.2 inherited ones.
Must say most jb roms I tried had different issues. Been using albino's nightlies since January. Was overall great. But was a pacman fan in the jb roms and happy with the kk that is in alpha.
Thanks
