v2.3.1-CDMA VZW Version added (Thanks nitroglycerine33 for deodexed cdma system)
-Reboot option in Power menu modded

-Contacts for vzw ver. fixed (thanks blkghost22)

Some notes for Droid 4 owners:
According to this thread on XDA the Arctic Rom is flashable on the Droid 4 as well.
Some things to note:
  • The keyboard's backlight will not light up. (MAYBE fixed in 2.3.3...need a tester)
Flash as your own risk. I am doing my best to get this Rom to work better on 2.3.6 Gingerbread, and I am going to start with bluetooth.
Shady_lanem has given up Razr work and has granted me permission to his Arctic Rom.

If you are going to flash this before the fastboot files are out, do so carefully and in safestrap. (Even then I don't recommend safestrap until we get a Droid 4 version from hashcode).

For rooting use the Droid 4 Utility threads for Mac/Linux and Windows. (by skylarmb)

Note: These are from 2.3.1 and below. I am having a big re-theme of Arctic being done by mopar57 and 3.0.0 will look a lot different, better even!

Well at least you are up and running. Did you try flashing the stock rom .zip like i said in the post earlier?

    Mentioned many of those issues already.

    This is a RAZR Rom for 2.3.5 and you are using it on Droid 4 2.3.6. I am working hard on a better UI with mopar57 and have fixed many of the bugs you are talking about.

    I hope by "That rom is horrible!" you meant the way it works with the Razr 2.3.5 version on Droid 4 2.3.6....

    Yes thats what i meant.I love this community and its devs. I know they take time out of their day to put smiles on our faces and i highly respect everyone here that contributes whether be it a rom or just advice on fixing bugs. I in no way meant to offend anyone and if i did i am sorry. I guess what i did was a thinking out loud moment. I am grateful for people who do things such as risking their $600+ device to push the envelope for everyone else who is to scared. I always gladly test things out on my phone to try to give back. Again sorry for ranting and i apologize to anyone i offended including you mattlgroff

    OK, you flashed a Rom. How did you get it to run on D4 other than that? lol


    Well i didnt take a whole post, duplicate it and present it as if i did something......just sayin. :p

    I don't think there is a Droid 4 GSM version?

    My bad....I meant if he flashed the GSM version instead of the CDMA.

    Shady_lanem has given up Razr work and has granted me permission to his Arctic Rom.

    @podspi
    I was meaning that THIS quote is totally false.
    Read the first post and you'll find it.

    Also, I agree that Android is GPL, but IMHO if anyone is kanging etc, he should specify that this is a KANG.

    Making it clear, read bdsullivan's post. He's explaining everything that can be explained in.. just some words. Effective and brilliant.


    @kwyrt
    I wasn't referring to myfishbear, but to mattlgroff!


    @bdsullivan
    Nah, it isn't a legal issue at all....and I completely quote you.

    Fishbear i dont think any of the fault lies with you. I for one am happy that you took this and eclipse and made them work. I guess from what kholk is saying mattlgroff never had permission to port. That is an issue that needs to be settled between him and the original dev. I am sure it may have been a misunderstanding somewhere between the two.
