[Motorola Droid 3] 2manytoys:
I can't change any call settings from the phone (Call Waiting, Call Forward / Diversion)

From Settings > Call Settings > Advanced Settings

I get a popup window:

Call Settings Error

Network or SIM card error

I'm using Telstra in Australia. I'm using the Liberty 2.0 ROM (other ROMs seem to be the same though, I haven't tried ICS though). It's like the phone is locked to Verizon. I have the XT862.

PS: I don't think HSDPA works either, just 3G.

Cheers, Mal.

WARNING: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TESTING OR FLASHING ANY ROMS UNTIL WE GET FASTBOOT FILES.

YOU CAN AND MAY BRICK!!!

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)

And a special shoutout to Reigndropz for doing this initial testing and getting it to run on our D4's......
[Motorola Droid 4] mattlgroff:
OK, you flashed a Rom. How did you get it to run on D4 other than that? lol

[Motorola Droid 4] reigndropz:
Did you do a complete wipe? And then try to flash this which Matt posted already?
[Motorola Droid 4] vladimirtm:
i have to do that to go back to stock?
[Motorola Droid 4] reigndropz:
That's his rooted stock rom, yes. Make sure you wipe your user data in recovery first and then try flashing that zip.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hashcode:
Are you seeing a fastboot error? And can you post it? I need to see which partition is tripping us up.

[Motorola Droid 4] vladimirtm:
i did that bu battery dies and when chargin it has this "?" on battery whats wrong?
[Motorola Droid 4] vladimirtm:

[Motorola Droid 4] reigndropz:
Well at least you are up and running. Did you try flashing the stock rom .zip like i said in the post earlier?
[Motorola Droid 4] vladimirtm:
i install safe strap

yes but i get infinite boot loop and the this sign" ?" appear on battery when chargin
[Motorola Droid 4] vladimirtm:
well it take me some time but i got my phone back to original stock system, i think i learn the lesson and im goin to wait for the fastboot files for the droid 4.
[Motorola Droid 4] RideZeLitenin:
So is the ROM working for ya?
[Motorola Droid 4] vladimirtm:
yes but not 100% keyboard wont light up and power control widget wont work you cant use CWR to make a restore the only way to go back to stock is if you disable safe strap
[Motorola Droid 4] reigndropz:
Thats great. It's not going to be flawless yet but sounds like you got mostly everything working.
[Motorola Droid 4] mattlgroff:
Anyone try the build under [Testing] yet?
[Motorola Droid 4] vladimirtm:
where is that ?
[Motorola Droid 4] CreepyE:
Tried this since we got an official bootstrap and thank baby jesus i had a backup. That rom is horrible! No keyboard backlight, both usb and wifi tethering went nuts, a couple of my widgets that require data wouldnt connect, the aesthetics on the rom are ****, couldnt go under full brightness, and the auto rotate kept getting stuck in landscape even after opening and closing the keyboard. No offense to the devs since i know they didnt port this to our phones but id rather have a half assed alpha rom meant for our phone then this

[Motorola Droid 4] mattlgroff:
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....
[Motorola Droid 4] reigndropz:
I'm sure thats what he meant cuz I dont see why anyone would come in here to take away from a developer's work when he obviously didnt do too much homework before flashing this rom.
[Motorola Droid 4] CreepyE:
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

I've had a talk with our ROM Developer, shady_lanem.

Noone gave you the rights to rip The Arctic ROM by the EternityProject Team, not shady_lanem and not me.

You weren't allowed by the original authors of this ROM to rip and remake.

The EternityProject Team Manager & Main Developer,

--kholk
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Would you mind shedding some light on proper ROM etiquette? I think myfishbear was just trying to fix a bug specific to D4 users, not take credit away from shady_lanem. What is the generally accepted protocol when porting a ROM or fixing a device specific bug?
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Also, while I do not approve of people ripping off (I believe the vernacular is 'kanging'? God I feel old...) other people's work, isn't Android open-source? The license gives you the 'right' to do whatever you want with it, provided you distribute source and attribute credit... Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I realize many other assets of a ROM may not be distributed under an open license, but is this the case with 'The Arctic Rom'? I'm not weighing in on whether what OP did was right or wrong (I have no idea), I'm just interested in whether this is an etiquette issue or a legal one... Sorry for detracting...
[Motorola Droid 4] bdsullivan:
I don't think it is a legal issue as much as it is etiquette. it is customary and polite to ask permission to port or kang someones work before releasing to the public. I have found when I did some theme porting on the d2g that the devs are more than happy to let you do it as long as credit and permission is given.
[Motorola Droid 4] kholk:
@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.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
damn im sry i asked mattlgroff because he stated he had pemission b4 ill stop workin on this one lol and on top of that i feel bad lol

Proof:
[Motorola Droid 4] bdsullivan:
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.
[Motorola Droid 4] kholk:
No absolutely, myfishbear is totally out of that thing, he didn't have any clue of that.

@myfishbear

Absolutely don't worry. My complain wasn't about you at all, I knew you didn't do that maliciously.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ed116:
Just wanted to say goodbye! Pretty good phone over all, but i have to say the Amaze is soo much better/snappier/batterylife. I always felt like LG was crap in general. Their T.Vs were very poorly made, their everything sucks! LG OPtimus 2x Proved to be a mediocre device. HTC Amaze is well... amazing, and im happy to have moved on! Good bye :) G2x, you were great to me!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dominoes20:
That's odd. everything i've heard about the amaze is that the battery life isn't very good. I checked out their development thread and read the same thing. Are you saying the battery life is better? If so then by how much?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darbear5610:
Gotta tell you I put Arcee's ICS SK3 on this G2x of mine, and it feels like I'm using a Nexus device. I don't think the battery life is better on the Amaze IMO. What is better though is the camera. It has a dedicated camera button, and user uploaded images look nice, miles better than ours.

My G2x has fulfilled all my needs but I'd say the only thing mediocre about this phone is LG's support. They just can't be arsed to provide news on updates to us (left us out of the loop with this ass-handed comment "The exact start dates can vary by market, as each country can have different requirements, depending on the carrier and the smartphone model.". It basically means, blame T-Mobile if ICS takes too long), work with T-Mobile/Nvidia in terms of updates, kernels, drivers etc.. At least HTC cares about you guys in that department.

Well, best of luck to you on your future Amaze 4G endeavors!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
After putting ICS on this phone I regret selling my other 2 g2x I had......Hell I sometimes use the g2x more than my galaxy nexus also.....the battery on this is epic compared to the galaxy nexus at times!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Wha? Is it good or mediocre? Hmm...

Seriously though, Happy enough with my G2x to wait another year for the contract to end. Amirite?

Good luck with the Amaze!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] un.droid:
this device is nice, with ISC its much faster and battery life is better. never liked the HTC devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Agreed...other than screen size i wouldnt train this phone in right now....amoleds are nice but only when brightness is high....sure there are more powerful phones but its all numbers. Other than being able to brag on benchmarks most of the time most of us wouldnt notice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dserber:
To each their own. I held out for my G2X to come out when it was one of the first dual core phones to come out with the intention of getting a good amount of mileage out of it since it was somewhat future proof, which was my main reason for staying away from the Galaxy Nexus S. Now that our awesome developers are starting to piece together ICS for the phone, I feel like it is finally reaching it's full potential. Battery life for me has been insanely good and this alpha build is incredibly stable for me as I have no problems running it as a daily driver. But HTC does make great phones, my first Android phone was the mytouch slide. The Mrs. still uses it, rooted and with cyanogen of course, and I'm still impressed with how solid of a phone it is. Hope you enjoy your Amaze!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ed116:
So far my battery is at 90% and ive taken it off charge since about 10:00 AM EST -5 , with the g2x the same amount of usage it would have been at like 60% , i cant compare them side by side, the amaze feels better in my hand though, and MUCH more snappier. The 512 Ram kind of killed the phone a bit, compared to the 1GB the amaze has, camera blows it away, and sense is pretty nice, IMO. The device never heats up, never lags, never anything! maybe its just me but even with ICS, unless overclocked to 1.2Ghz atleast, it wouldnt be smooth at all! also this has the penta band frequency which is good over here in canada :) cause wind/mobilicity do not have 2g bands so yeah. Thats my imput. Also this phone is more beautiful in terms of looks. Its just so attractive!

What i do miss about G2x? - How easy it was to flash roms! i just got this device last night and im not going to flash any roms as of yet, but it seems too complex.

also my cousin owns the galaxy nexus and ic an say my amaze is much snappier overall even though it is on 2.3, but then again his screen resolution is a bit higer, and cpu is clocked less. Also screen on Gnexus is too blue-ish
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Btw for the amaze their is a tool box that does everything for u, install drivers, s off and flash cwm and a rom all from the tool box. I'd say its pretty easy. They are even numbered in order on the toolbox

[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
The amaze is actually ****ty compared to the G2x which can actually compete with the SGS2. The Amaze is ugly, has bad battery, will have s-off issues, and HTC has just always been **** imo everything HTC has released has been proven to be a pile of **** sooner or later (excluding the HD2). Anyways, the only thing wrong with the G2x is the stock software, and some of the ROMs here will really bring out the speed and battery life of it.

Have fun with your Amaze.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

It's gotta be user error, I have my G2x underclocked to 750 mhz and everything runs smooth as butter, and I can get over 2 days battery life easily.

But, to each his own, I may think HTC devices are ugly but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ed116:
lol whats so ****ty about the amaze in your eyes? has better everything, s3 processor, better Gpu, more ram. The looks are debateable, some like the HTC some like the G2x better, you should not completly put a device down. The Amaze is just an upgraded Sensation in terms of everything, and maybe it was just me, but i reinstalled 2x version of ICS from CM9 with full wipesand everything. and thanksfor that link :) moehmad

Edit: also the screen on/off was actually a bit unresponsive on the g2x which always pissed me off :p

The fact that it will have s- on/off issues and that horrible heavy ass sense ui. Also, I don't understand people saying that the ICS roms are the smoothest they've tried on the G2x, if they are they've been doing something wrong with the Froyo/GB roms. Eaglesblood 2.3.7 with Trinity ELP kernel underclocked to 750 gave me the performance of a stock G2x at 1Ghz and gave me extremely long battery life. The ICS roms are not meant to be smooth yet, just to work and give G2x users a taste of ICS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
dont know anything about Amaze (specs do look good) but I have zero problems with G2x, built quality is good, fast, no lag, battery is very good on 1.1Ghz kernel. My next phone will be at least 720p with NFC and CM support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
yeah the blueish problem always happens with nexus phones, ROMs will calibrate the screen colors though.

I'm coming from an HD2 and rooting and flashing was reasonable because Windows OS was bull**** and it wasted battery. Can anyone give me some cons and pros of SGS2 rooting and/or flashing roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
CONS: none unless influenced by user's stupidity.

PROS: Developers optimizes ROMS and kernels for use of our hardware

-smoother

-faster

-longer battery life

-Nandroids

-backup of apps/data (in case of emergencies)

-free wifi tether

-use of apps that requires root

-themes/customizatons

-earlier "updates"

-custom apps (unlimited pandora!)

-remove bloatware

-Addiction to flashing ROMS (could be a negative?)

-soon MIUI/AOSP/CM9/ICS!

-lots more but can't think of any, i'll let my fellow XDAs finish the list.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lithium133:
Probably for similar reasons as your WinMo phone, though different ppl do it for different reasons. Pro's of rooting give you more flexibility in picking the rom with features you like. If you don't like the bloatware that comes with the phone, some rom removes them. Some folks like to overclock or undervolt to improve performance or batt life, rooting and roms lets you do that.

As for downside, rooting risks voiding warranty with T-Mo. You risk bricking your phone. OTA updates won't apply to your phone once rooted. HTH.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
you can flash it back to STOCK to "unvoid" warranty

Stupidity leads to users bricking the phone regardless of root lol

you apparently can do OTA updates while still using some ROMs but might cause complications... you can then use kies or flash it back to stock to do OTA updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarsHD2:
Alright thanks fellas, that was informative but I have one more question. If I flash a rom on it, like the popular Juggernaut ROM, I won't lose any features that I have on the stock ROM, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghawton:
You will have the features of the new ROM, so you need to research the ROM before loading it. Some have replaced stock Samsung Touchwiz features with other custom features in order to make the ROM more tailored and/or perform better. So yes, you might lose something, but you may gain a lot more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Same thing as the HD2 WM6.5 ROMS, they never lacked features but instead added. What would be the point of a ROM if it took features out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] novanosis85:
They might replace one feature with another, say for instance touchwiz replaced by another launcher. Or add features like quick settings and more reboot options. For me the themes make it all worth it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
For me, rooting my phone is an entirely separate decision from flashing custom ROMs.

I root my phone to have complete control over it (for several reasons, including removal of CIQ spyware)

However I have been quite happy with the Stock ROM (Debloated, removed CIQ) - and flashing alternate ROMs/Radios/Kernels is not always desirable IMHO

We do have an excellent development community here with a lot of dedicated Devs taking the time to support our device, so if you should choose to flash ROMs you will have a decent collection to choose from and great support from the Devs/Community

For me, it's all about the Stock ROM, rooted. Performs like a champ and I swap launchers anyway so I don't deal with TouchWiz (don't care for it, it's sluggish compared to LauncherPro). Actually if someone who had a completely stock phone picked up mine they would probably think I was on a different ROM with all the mods/apps I run. Lockscreen, Launcher, Widget/App Themes, all different and carefully customized. Flashing another ROM would just mean I'd have to do the same exact setup again on another ROM, so there's really no benefit for me.

Even when ICS gets released for our phones, I will wait for the official T-Mo release, then root it, etc.
