A bootloop doesn't necessarily mean a kernel incompatibility issue. I had problems as well in the past with bootloops on various roms. One possible solution (it's the one that worked for me) is to wipe your internal storage before installing. I'm not sure why it works, perhaps it has something to do with app data that's stored on the internal storage. Just make sure you back up any photos, downloads, etc before wiping. I prefer using BMM, since it allows you to flash a rom over the stock slot. Of course, if you do that, make sure you have a way to restore to stock in case you bork your install, preferably the fastboot files specific to your provider.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] masteroe12:
thanks for the hint :good: , but i get the same problem :( I am not a BMM fan and tried it with Safestrap ) ..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Just have a closer look into the forums! There is a thread called "flashable bootloop fix (safestrap)". It's the solution for your problem: For this rom you need the .8 kernel.

BMM: To be honest, Bmm isn't noob friendly - but it's much more powerful than most recoveries - if you want to use it safely, take your time to get familiar with it. Otherwise stay safe on safestrap and miss complex operations on your phone :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
You're right about BMM not being noob friendly. I found that out the hard way one day. I had been having issues with a rom and decided to restore from a stable install. In the middle of the restore, I decided that I just wanted to flash a clean rom instead. Stupid me, not thinking that if I force-restart the phone that BMM won't be reflashed. Anyhow, I ended up spending the entire day at an amusement park with a borked phone. Fortunately I keep everything I need to fastboot back to stock on my laptop, but it was a learning experience. Now that I've grown accustomed to BMM, I don't think I could go back to SS. Now if the interface was re-designed for BMM, and a few more safety nets were put in place (like messages "you do this, you're screwed") it could easily overtake SS in popularity, IMO.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Agree. On the other hand many users just don't want to spend time with reading and learning - they want everything to be done automatically (in the best case) and besides of that being safe from bricking their phones.

For these people safestrap is the best option.

But I already saw are a few other people: for them everything must be possible - flash kernels, radios, stock slot, wipe Cid, do this and do that, but please, no lessons :D ... Then there are some specialists sometimes who think "I don't care, I am going to push this button now!!!....... Wtf??? My damn phone is bricked!!! Pleaseeeee, someone repair it for me! *crying*

(this isn't meant to anyone here!!)

I can give that advice to everybody: take your time. Read the right posts and threads. Better ask one more time instead of being a kamikaze fighter - also if you take the risk to go on someone's nerves! Your phone was expensive and it should worth it! - that's the way I did in the past, when I just bought my RAZR. :)

Heres the scoop

Currently rebuilding Catalyst upon the .16 kernel and Latest JB build by Moto. I figured it would be a simple copy and paste but I was wrong as their was capadiblily errors and a whole lot of wtf moments...So, heres what Im doing.

Since Im starting over from scratch, here are differences you may notice in the next build...(Release is unknown)

-Will be the last Catalyst build (V3)

-Bootloops may be a problem of the past (Kexec/Non-Kexec builds are expected)

-Will be based off of .16 as a base

-Razr i software will be integrated (Lets improve our experience and performance)

-Completely redone framework (You may notice performance boost and a more familiar AOSP feeling)

-Sky Blue theme may be replaced by a home brew Xperia Theme

-More Xperia integration?

-Unlocked settings in the Android Settings

-An MMS Fix?

-Users can finally update their Razrs to Official JB
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
The thing I like about the Razr is that it's almost (99.9%) unbrickable, if you know what you're doing. Of course, for those who think they've bricked their Rarz, there's money to be made. Of course, I would never take advantage of someone, but I have been known to take dark imported beer as payment. :D

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Looking forward to the update! Is there a problem with MMS? Mine worked perfect from the start.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nx Biotic:
In the newest builds, MMS has force closed upon sending and recieving a picture or multi-media message.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
Ahhh. I haven't sent any pic messages yet, which is probably why I haven't had any probs. Thanks for that bit of info!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] masteroe12:
thanks dtrail, but also your hint "flashable bootloop fix" and the .8 kernel did not helped in my case. I think it should not be ... thanks anyway
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Hmmm.... You sure you did everything right? A wipe maybe?

I've got several flashable statusbar mods that I'd be happy to post, if a dev would like to give me the green light. They are all built from the SystemUI.apk pulled from the rom. The mods include several battery styles, each with the option to retain or remove the data speed indicator.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Sorry this rom will be updated to 16 base very soon. I guess the current mods maybe won't work correctly on it.

I think rgocal has no problem with you releasing it here - but wait for his statement, please. :)

Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
No prob. When the .16 base rom is released, I'll gladly provide the mods. Once I figured out how to recompile the status_bar.xml file, the rest was a piece of cake. muCommander makes modifying the content of apks a breeze. Just rename to .zip, and it allows drag-and-drop of files without changing the signature. It took me all of 4 hours to make a total of 14 mod zips, and that included the time it took figuring out how to deal with xml files. Maybe one of these days I'll attempt to tackle making my own rom. For now, simple mods is about all I can do.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Apktool and Linux - nice things :)

Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
I'm a glorified Linux (MacOS) user. I wasted the majority of my time trying to figure out why Apktool wouldn't build. Then I realized my dumbass had only copied the apktool binary, and forgot to copy the aapt binary. Once I figured that out, piece of cake. Where muCommander comes in handy is that you can copy and paste the different battery icons, even xml files, directly into the apk without having to rebuild and sign each time you change something. It also makes it a breeze in making the flashable zips.

By the way, I'm going to give kexec roms another try. Looking forward to taking the new JBX kernel out for a spin. I tried it before, but due to LTE being broken, I went back to blur roms. Now that it's working, thanks to your hard work, I'm ready to give it another go.

Now if friggin' goo.im would pick up the pace, I could get somewhere. Currently downloading kexec roms (carbon, liquidsmooth) at 54 K/s. I hope my donation ends up making it worth it once the new server is up and running.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Oh, OC is currently broken, only 1350mbz max works good. But I'll fix tomorrow.

You can use any usual zip archiver to copy icons, etc

Only some XML has to be compiled.

Did I get you right? You donated to me or to goo.im?

Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
I donated to goo.im, thinking perhaps the $10 would make the difference in download speed. I plan on donating to you & the other devs whose work I've benefited from once my financial situation smooths out. I had to shell out over $1k last month for new tires on both vehicles, plus parts to repair the rear AC on the wife's van.

1 file finally finished downloading. 135.8Mb in 42 minutes. That's pretty sad, since I use wifi tethering on my Razr as my ISP. Nearly 20mb/s doesn't help when a server is more bogged down than the US government.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I just asked because I received a donation from someone I can't identify. All good :)

Go ahead or forevor hold your piece. Not totally sure if these will work on the new base but theres only one way to find out!

Catalyst V3 is making awesome headway and heres whats completed so far...

-The Rom itself was cleaned and reorganized with new scripts and tools for performance and tweaks. Since I added a few new features with the Xperia software integration, I needed the battery to hold out to so I had to equal out performance and battery. Hopefully nothing has derasticly changed...

-Currently the rom has no statusbar changes or power menu. Plain stock for now, I left this for last.

-The Motorola Lockscreen was removed and I went off of a Galaxy Mod AOSP lockscreen tuturial and what do you know...it worked! This rom will have the plain jain AOSP lockscreen. Hoping to add a few extras to it later...

-Im working on a new theme for the rom. Itl be a mixture between what we have now and the Stock Xperia style. Hopefully that pulls off to look great.

-The Xperia Walkman Player has been enhanced with more working features/plugins and tools. Its almost as if Im using my Xperia U but on a larger screen...Fully working plugin support, Equalizer support, XLoud support and not to mention what we had before. Right now, Im working on a clear crisp audio for the Razr in this rom. Its kinda not working at this point...(I broke the Audio creating my own mod...dont worry, itl be fixed!) Itl probably have the equal amount of clarity as a Beats mod.

-As far as I know, MMS is working in this build. I did not tamper with the stock messaging. All I might do is compile SMS-POP-up and integrate it into the Messaging application.

-More support from the Bionx Dashboard. I hope to incorperate a little bit more support from the toolkit in this build. We lack rom customization more than anything but thats hard to bring into an OEM rom...

-Working on polishing the boot animation, My first attempt so itll look and act better this time around.

For the power menu, Im not sure if im going to take the time to put it into this build as the options are available to you in the Bionx Dashboard. I want to get this rom up and outa my table and have a clean fast amazing rom for you guys. So, If i run outa time or if I find spare time, this option will be undetermined. I might just make a widget in the Bionx Dashboard Power menu and allow a user to place it on their launcher if need be.

If you wanna try the Latest Version of Bionx soon. Il need you to update your device to the .16 firmware on your CDMA Device. As for the GSM users, it might boot now with the gsm patch applied...Just PM me if your enterested.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I will have to update the GSM patch for this! The old one plays with old libs...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
Alright, here’s the SystemUI.apk mods I mentioned a few posts back. These mods have been built using the stock SystemUI.apk from the Bionx rom, so all the stock toggles and icons remain untouched, only the battery icons are changed. I don’t take any credit for the icons, just building the packages. I could go back and see what the sources were, but I’m short on time and long on responsibilities. Once the .16 base rom is finished, I’ll work up another round of mods. These are all flashable zips and are installed through SS or BMM, whichever you prefer.

These mods remove the data speed indicator and relocate the clock to the stock right-hand position:

Battery Gauge

Stock Bionx Style

Dotted Circle

Double Circle

Slim Vertical Bar

Solid Circle

Vertical Bar

These mods retain the data speed indicator and the centered clock position:

Confirmed working in new Catalyst build and posted in OP
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
Awesome! Can't wait to try it out!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nx Biotic:
Bionx Dashboard V3.3 features im working on

*FnV Wallpaper Picker -Wallpapers will be stored on Github rather than inside the apk rather than taking up device space and will load OTA air to your device over WIFI or Cellular Service. You can choose from 2-3 categories as of now. Catalyst Wallpapers, Requiem Wallpapers, and AOSP Wallpapers. You can also save your favorite wallpaper to your memory as a backup or reference.

*WebView Headlines and New User- When a user now clicks on Headlines on the Dashboard, Webview brings up the Bionx Home withen the apk as well as a brand new page dedicatied to new users to teach them about the Dashboard and Catalyst rom. Basically a user manual if you will.

*Catalyst Tab- This tab is under going a transformation to bring Catalyst users more options exclusivly to them. For example, I am currently porting over and rebuilding the Init.d Toggler from an older build of AOKP. This will allow users to toggle which Init.d Scripts they want to load on start up as well as enable or disable this folder in your system. There are both pros and cons to this but Im sure their will be users who find use to this new feature.

*Power Menu- Ive added a HotBoot button to this activity and I will probably add a quick action to this allowing users a quick reboot option.

*CPU Overclocker- I dont know what I have planned yet but I went ahead and rewrote some code in this wonderfull section of the Dashboard so you will see some changes here.

*More Information as it becomes available

*Dont forget to leave feedback on the Bionx Dashbaord on google play!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nx Biotic:
Currently working to stabilize all features of Catalyst V3. Been busy lately but using any time I have to work. dtrail will be attempting Kexec integration soon so Fingers crossed on his end.

Those of you who follow the Bionx Facebook and myself on twitter got to see the new look of the statusbar of V3. It is not done yet but has a good idea of what it will look like. The fancy widget icons where swapped for Sonys stock icons for a more aosp feeling and less stress on the eyes. The signal icons will be swaped here soon. The actuall framework will have work done to it here soon (Theme integration, drawable edits, xml tweaks, features, memory usage, ect) The Bionx Dashboard now supports the ability to toggle which init.d scripts you would like to run on boot. This allows the user to easily configure battery savings and performance (this was a pain in the @22 to port/integrate from aokp so i hope you like it) The Xperia Walkman experience has been updated but still working to clear any audio issues with engine ports.

FYI: If your using safestrap, I advise to switch to Bootmenu or start training yourself to use it. Bionx Catalyst V3 will be optimized for bootmenu installation.

P/S: Send an email to my gmail through the Dashboard with subject Beta if you want to test Bionx Catalyst V3 non-Kexec and help point out bugs and errors. In order to test, you must be a cdma user and fully upgraded to the latest jellybean kernel on your Razr device, rooted, and perferably Bootmenu installed but I believe these builds will boot on Safestrap. GSM users will have to wait on Kexec builds.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
Thanks for the update!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nx Biotic:
Updated OP with Catalyst V3 changelog as of now
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nx Biotic:
As soon as audio playback is fixed, will be starting a cdma soak test of non-kexec builds of V3. Around the same time, an update for the Bionx Dashboard will be released.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Booted up on Kexec Kernel succesfully!! Now development can continue!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddmclw:
So if I'm running .16 CDMA can I boot this ROM with kexec kernel with safestrap?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SyrStorm:
Now that this kernel is here, what will happen in terms of what android version this ROM will be? I'm assuming still 4.1.2 but with the new kernel will it help upgrade the ROM in any way to 4.2.2? And if not, will that upgrade to 4.2.2 ever happen anyways?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
This is a STOCK_BASED Rom! There is no 4.2.2 from Moto, so this will stay 4.1.2! But it can be modded in many ways..

---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 AM ----------

You can run this rom now by using my patch (see xda dev section).

But Catalyst will get a much greater kernel...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddmclw:
Sweet! Have always wanted to try this ROM. Looking forward to all the cool upcoming additions :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] motopuk:
I will try as soon as I get home to download the rom and patch it.

The build is not ready enough to give it to a ton of users. I would prefer some experienced users to prevent others from soft bricks - just in case. And just for the first beta.

I don't care about users who can't wait - but I do care about their devices :)

The first beta will not be out there very long, maybe one week before it will become available for everyone.

This is to test the new kernel and I'm just careful.

Biotik has to decide that too of course.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
OK, didn't know that you already pushed a test books to users. Just keep in mind that users could potentially break their stock system because of the Ramdisk - even when installing the rom to system 2 on bmm.

I figured it the hard way. My first system didn't boot anymore and only a full wipe helped. Since that I keep a nandroid backup of data only which helps to restore stock system w/o losing my data.

I have to fix the Ramdisk problem. Just wanted you to know that :)

Edit: also the cam isn't working - while it's working for me in the old build. There's a lot of work to do.

The Build I shared was a test non-kexec so no harm done. Kexec builds however will be taken seriously. Must of been the messages I sent to you over empanthy didnt go through about the beta initiative...

Thought I fixed the camera...

Anyways, Im gonna be out for a few days. I have some issues in the family thats preventing me to focus lately. I will be updating the Bionx Webs with new information and headers here soon as well as keeping up with weekly updates.

Well, Ive been trying to take a small break lately because of lives events but heres the plan folks.

Im finalysing a GUI update for the Bionx Dashboard and a few new extras. Im attempting a new type of android settings for Catalyst whether its tabbed settings or my newest WIP Google Drawer android settings. Im going to dig deep into Dtrails kernel soon and look at the structure for toggles and settings to add in the dashboard for catalyst users. Im looking into a mod for porting the android 4.2 statusbar, not sure if itl work but worth a shot for you guys. Once these things are accomplished, we will start looking at a release date.

Kexec kernel injection was successful but we are looking at battery life and kernel stability now with all the new options. The safety of your devices are important.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nx Biotic:
Hows it work

GPU overclock works by allowing a user with a supported kernel to set a maximum value and minimal value for your GPU to run at by setting the values via an Init.d script. This will allow any device to take advantage only if the kernel supports the given values. You can have the device run immediately with the results or set it to run at start every time. Similar to old init.d scripts where devs would set the device to run at set Frequencies they wanted at boot on older roms. This will probably be enhanced over time but allow users more control over their hardware.
