Jelly Bean works on my Bionic - Motorola Droid Bionic

12/7/2012 update
Here is the three JB builds dhacker and hashcode are working on for the Bionic (Targa). CM10.1 is the newest ROM. Safestrap 3.05 has been added but is beta and you MUST follow the instructions or you will brick your device. I am not responsible and neither are the developers if you brick your phone. Rom development has slowed but check back to make sure you have the latest version.
If you would like me to keep this post up to date hit the "Thanks" button please. And thanks to the developers for there time and effort!

Deleted this post... carry on

ROMBot's still isn't working for me (at least nothing is showing up for targa). Cool to see kexec working though.

So I played with the threshold rom a bit tonight and its alright. I'm gonna keep an eye on the updates though cause I swapped back to .232 ICS. JB is in its infancy for the bionic but give it time and it will mature.

There was an update 9/1/12. I didn't see it at Rombot. It is however at HTTP://rombitch.com in the donttweetmeaboutthisstuff folder. And yes targa is the one to download.

No prob. Firefox seems to always want to add the www to it for me and it took me a while to figure out where everything went the first couple times that happened.

Which file do we need? There is like 12 files none that have targa in the name.

The contents of that directory change frequently, and the targa files seem to have been removed. They are working on getting a non-kexec build of cm10 working and will then get back to the kexec builds once the codebase is stable.

Hmm... would it be possible for you to share the one you used? Or is it unstable and better off to wait for better version?
Nevermind... too many links and reading and i lost where i was..... lol. I had to go back and read the op... lol

CM10 Mirror
Here are the flashable ZIPs if you guys want to try out Dhacker's CM10. I flashed them on the safe side of safestrap 2.0 and they worked fine, albeit without camera or data. I happened to still have them on my SDCard so here you go! This is the 07/28 nightly of CM10 with the JB Gapps zip you'll need to flash as well.

Hope this helps satisfy the curiosity of some.

Thanks for posting the link. It has been removed from the developers site. From what I've read they want to button up there CM9 project so its finished and then they can put there full attention towards CM10. The latest Targa version was from 9-1-2012. They removed it about 6 days ago. I have it but haven't installed it yet. I don't have a way of uploading it if it works. I think data is better but still buggy in this update and so they took it down till they can get a better version out.

You can upload it with the dropbox app and link to your dropbox account for people to download. With android, there's always a way.

True... If I get a chance to mess with it I will post it. Time is a bit complicated on my end right now.

umm this is like all the others .. this is not JB its a rom bases off of ICS ....hate these kinds of posts

I haven't read or seen anything that shows this being built off ICS. Google speak works. It runs way smoother then ICS even as an alpha build. Because its KEXEC it can (and does) load a JB Kernal. People please correct my if I'm wrong. this is a quote from one of the developers, Hashcoe:

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.
Either way this needs some polishing and we need to wait for an update anyway. I am going to keep an eagle eye on this CM10 project and keep everyone up to date as things progress. Thanks to the Devs Hashcode and dhacker29!!

What does it say when you go to System Settings > About Phone > Android Version?
If it's 4.0.x, then ICS; 4.1.x, JB.

It says 4.1.1

Things are getting stable!
CHANGES LOG:
[09/24] - Fixed more data bugs. It's MUCH improved.
[09/21] - Updates STOCK-base build. Added HWComposer, Camera function, fixed native cm10 wifi tether and CM10 updates
I've updated the links in my OP. I'm downloading it now. A big round of applause for dhacker29 and hashcode for their hard work on this!

--->>>>CM7 Nightly's Build's Discussion & Thoughts<<<---

Please use this thread for all your discussion about the Nightly builds for CM7 for the Atrix.​It is important to note that Nightly Builds are not for most Users
Things to know about Nightly Builds:
Not Stable releases
Will have bugs / issues
Not intended to be used as main everyday ROM
Are not Fully Supported like Stable Releases
Should not be used by people that are not Masters of ADB
You Should be comfortable enough to recover from soft bricks On your OWN
90% chance you will be wipping your data (factory reset) at some point and time
​DO NOT REPORT ISSUES ON NIGHTLIES ON THE BUG TRACKER​FAQ FOR ATRIX NIGHTLY's​Nightly builds can be found here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus​​
Also would like to add that BACKUPS are your friend if you are not comfortable with t0dbld's sugestions. Thanks for starting this thread and for the teams dedication.
Is or are the Dev team also creating different tweaks/builds seperate from Cyanogenmod or will the teams work just be incorporated into the nightly builds?
Excellent! Allrighty, lets kick off this party with a bang. First off, thanks to all the Devs and others who made this a reality. Nightly builds = awesome. After installing this with the latest version of Gapps, everything is working beautifully. Very excited to see where this is going. Faux123's stopgap kernels WILL work with this build so far and I have tested them. Only thing I've noticed so far is that, for the first time for some reason, I am unable to buy an app from Market and bill it to my AT&T account. Option seems to have disappeared. I've heard of others discuss this, and I'm assuming that the change language to English fix will work with this, but haven't tried it yet. Umm...ring lock screen seems to be working with less lag than before. Other than that, have nothing else to report at this time. Thanks again all, and happy flashing!

Hi, May i know this rom can support the Fingerprint and the webtop?
what the different with another CM7 (non nightly ver) , quite blur here.
thanks.
You might find it being offered by someone willing to make a workaround to get it to work. Being that "Android" didn't put the fingerprint scanner in the phone and no other phone has one, you'll have to wait for someone to actually make a script that can be added to CM7.

I got that when I updated to the stopgap version. Just use Titanium Backup to backup your market apk and then uninstall it. Restore it and use the "App Only" option and do not restore data. After its done simply open Market and add your account.
You're good to go after that.
I wasn't sure if I'd run into any challenges with the latest nightly, but nope! Running smooth as butter. Using faux's latest 1.45ghz OC kernel too. Didn't wipe from scratch, just cleared Dalvik cache and hoped for the best lol (and did a backup of course)

[ROM][KANG]CM9 ICS 10.1 WiFi Preview 03/04/12

Hello everyone,
as the old KANG build that got posted here is very old I've decided to compile my own builds.
As many people demanded a newer build you can use mine.
Flashing this may brick your device and there is no support from either Cyanogen and his crew or me. You do this on your own responsibility.
This build is not final - it's more an alpha build. If you decide to use it you shouldn't care about bugs.
I'll keep posting updates every day (if there is any reason for it). There will be no guaranteed support and I won't add user-specific features for anyone.
This is not my work - it's mostly from Pershoot & Cyanogen. This build uses Pershoot's GitHub as base for the device.
If you like the builds you're welcome to donate for some Club Mate / Beer and new hardware.
Works:
WiFi works
No more SOD or display flickering
Buttery smooth
HQ Videoplayback
USB Transfer - use the MTP mode and stop complaining about ICS
Doesn't work:
Camera doesn't work
I will not provide detailed Changelogs. Read CM9 Gerrit ICS & P4Wifi for that.
You can find the official app in the Android Market for 1 €:
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.messerschmidt.tabkang
It supports direct reboot (normal and into the recovery) and downloading the newest rom (incl. version-check) from my private FTP.

Installation:
Flash CWM if you've got none (I'm using the Overcome one)
Backup your current build
Wipe data
Flash my build
Flash the Gapps
Reboot (may take a few minutes)
Enjoy
USB MTP:
As some people requested me to do a little How-to for enabling MTP-mode:
Go into the settings
Choose storage
Tap the 3 dots in the upper right (menu)
Choose "USB computer connection"
Check "Media device (MTP)"
Done
Notice:
This is a pure Android rom and no Samsung rom. There won't be any unneeded additions like TouchWiz, My Files, or whatever.
Look in the Market for other/better apps if you're seriously missing something. I won't any additions/apps/whatever to this rom except I want to use it myself (not gonna happen).

Now that the flickering is fixed and SOD, I'd say it's well suited for daily use.
P.S. It also seems to be alot smoother, and you now get Terbuchet settings. Only thing missing for me is the camera.
is it safe to overinstall over DaAwesome1's ICS Kang, or must I wipe?
Does anyone know please, whether the cm9 kernal supports undervolting?

Basically a wipe shouldnt be needed. Test share your experience.
Does Netflix work? I'm this close to jumping on this.
This is just a whole new CM9 from the build posted earlier. The old build worked very smooth, as long as you didnt fill it with lots of user apps and widgets then it became very laggy. I have now restored all my apps 250+ and its still silky smooth, i have widgets with sync on several windows and app shortcuts and it still behaves as if it where just installed (empty). this sure gives hope for our tab. Go CM Team and thanks to OP for posting this build.
This build is an improvement over the prior kang, seems the CM team has been busy over the holidays. Smoother UI, screen flickers are gone, definite daily driver material. Will report back if I run into any problems.

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.

[Q][DEV] Kexec in new safestrap 2.10 how can we use it?

Hi, guys.
I'm trying to figure out how I can integrate it, basically, for stock safe-system at least.
I downloaded some ready-to-go droid bionic cm9 with kexec integrated, didn't understand the idea of devtree(probably it's patched). Should we compile kexec for ourself with modules? where can I read about it?
Thanks,
Oleg
Might want to check out the Eternity Project website. Kholk seems to be based there and I know he did a lot of the early work on this exploit.
Droid 4 - AOKP K1L0
I read there a little, but if hashcode can comment kexec thing, would be nice.
I saw that it tries to boot kernel when you start safe system, but still need some examples.

So anyone flashed the kexec CM9 build yet? I probably won't get a chance to until this evening.

flashed, works fine. But I can't figure out why kexec doesn't boot in my motorola ics based rom
the one good thing I want to say for now - both CPU cores are working fine.

Sorry for my noobish question, but I have no idea what Kexec is or what it can do.
Would someone mind giving a quick summary?
Thanks!

Kexec is the future for D4 ROMs. It is an exploit that allows the flashing of custom built kernels. No more trying to build ROMs around Moto's stock kernel.

I think I saw via hashcode's twitter that the camera is the main problem area on the kexec builds.

Also having quite a difficult time getting gapps to flash. Pulled the 0429 build from goo-im and flashed multiple times but it's never present in the apps list. never seen this before hmmmmm
edit -- got it this (3rd) time, very strange but oh well.
Can anybody try to boot kexec kernel in the eclipse or my rom?
Tried to replace kernel modules, added kexec folder, no luck with booting.
Need to do something with ramdisk, I tried some changes, got cycle reboot after kexec load. Will continue

[ROM] [Nightlies] CM9/ICS UNOFFICIAL Kexec builds

FLASHING ROMS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE -- WHILE I MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN, IT'S STILL A RISK THAT YOU'RE TAKING. IF SOMETHING BAD SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE, PLEASE DON'T BLAME ME -- HENCE THIS WARNING.
-Hashcode {06-21-12}​
This isn't so much a ROM announcement as it is a direction to find the unofficial nightly builds of CM9 Kexec for the Droid 4.
Prerequisites:
- Rooted
- Running ICS OTA or .217 leak (they are the same)
- SafeStrap 2.11 Here's how to use Safestrap
Download SafeStrap here
SafeStrap Mirror 1 (v2.11)
Download ROM here
ROM Mirror 1 (8/20 build)
Download ICS GApps Here (04/29 build)
ICS GApps Mirror 1 (04/29 build)
FLASH THE GAPPS.ZIP FILE AFTER YOU FLASH THE ROM .ZIP
Directions:
1. Root your stock system
2. Install SafeStrap 2.10+ (for Kexec support)
3. Backup stock system
4. Toggle to SAFE system (safe to screw things up!)
5. Flash the ROM .zip like any other ROM
6. Flash the GApps .zip
7. Reboot and enjoy!
What works?
4G data and calls
Flash (HW Codecs?)
Wifi
SMS and MMS
Whats broken?
Audio while bluetooth is left on and disconnected.
Built-in wifi tether.
Camera (front and back)
USB Audio (Car Dock audio connection)
Touchscreen is finnicky.
Specs:
Kernel 3.0.31
Latest Gfx drivers from TI
CM9
Android 4.0.4 ICS
Screenshots:
Surely you have seen CM9 before?
Thread on ROMBOT.ORG (hashcode's forum)
I don't have any problems with the touchscreen, but the clock is sometimes right and sometimes wrong. On Twitter Hash says he is already working on a fix for the clock.
Very promising. Seems a bit odd to me that anyone is spending time using 3.0.x for a custom kernel; we already have 3.4 on XDAndroid and those are *winmo6* phones originally...

the forum and files are on the same host, thats where the changes and nightlies come from.
unless the host gets fixed, we have no more nightlies and no changelogs.
that is, unless there was another nightly and someone has it, then they can post it here and I'll modify OP,
or they can send me a link:
cron410 at google mail
The maserati builds are not up there yet but, rombitch.com appears to be the successor to rombot
EDIT: First cm9 kexec build is up there now!

I think that website just became my new favorite site.
In all seriousness, for how locked down the Droid 4 is, I'm very impressed how far development has come along for it. I'm very excited to see what comes down the pipe as far as CM9 and CM10 are concerned.

Actually, Hashcode just released a new kexec build this morning, although it does not boot, it is CM10! It looks like he will be using his blog site to host future downloads. Here's a link:

Boots fine for me. Menu, Home, Back, and Search buttons don't work though. It is a kexec build so make sure you are on the latest safestrap recovery version 2.11. Also, you'll need to flash the CM10 gapps: http://goo.im/gapps. Looks like hashcode is making some progress!

Awesome, I honestly did not even try it, I was just reiterating what Hashcode said on twitter. Flashing now!!!
The best thing in our current cm10 - the backlight of hardware keyboard doesn't stay turned on when you don't use it!

NO laugh It's truth (for me) :laugh:
Hoping on keep once cm10 on my droid 4 as main rom
In the op it says flash doesn't work. I thought flash wasn't intended to work in jb, that adobe said no more after ics?
Personally I think flash runs great on my d4 but adobe says it doesn't so we have to listen to them since they know what we want.

Button savior works to make this (kind) useful. Once the soft-buttons and camera are working, will there by anything that DOESN'T work?
This is really, really awesome

Just an FYI on the latest release:
Capacitive buttons are working in Hashcode's latest alpha for JB. However, data is pretty iffy. I do not get any type of data connection, so there is not much I can test at this point. Wifi does not work at all as far as I can tell.
I also assume the camera is not working, based on the fact there is no camera app.
As far as the UI is concerned, it seems pretty smooth.
Looks promising!
