CM11.0 (KitKat) unofficial builds for the Droid 4
I'm now pushing my changes directly to CM, so nearly everyone can just use the official nightlies (except if you are still using BMM).
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KitKat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.
These are WIP builds of porting CM11.0 to the Droid 4 (and probably also other devices using the same device/motorola/omap4-common-infrastructure). They probably won't work, so don't expect too much. Use on your own risk!

Differences to official builds:
Gapps:
There are currently multiple Gapps-versions floating around, which might or might not work.
To install current Gapps-packages without errors, you should upgrade to SafeStrap 3.75.

CM: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Dhacker29 provides gapps which are compatible with recoveries not supporting set_metadata (like SafeStrap <= 3.73) (mirror):

What's not working:
Probably most everything else, including, but not limited to:

- Working WiFi tethering (integrated into CM as of 2014-01-17)
- Installable with older recoveries
- Some other small omap4-common changes (integrated into CM)
Gapps:
There are currently multiple Gapps-versions floating around, which might or might not work.
To install current Gapps-packages without errors, you should upgrade to SafeStrap 3.75.

Installation:
- Installation has been tested in ROM-slot 1 and 2 and in the stock ROM-slot using Safestrap 3.65 and SafeStrap 3.75
GSM users:
To use this CM11.0-ROM on GSM-networks you should install Mentor.37's GSM patch
