[Motorola Droid 4] wheels01:
Really noob question here... I just got my droid 4 and was going to apply this update, the post says update 219, the file is update 215...?? Will this file take me to 219 or keep me at 215?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
A good question deserves a good answer about a really dumb thing:

Motorola names their updates based on the verion that you are coming FROM and not what you are going TO. In a sense, I guess this is because they are incremental updates, or in other words, they each assume the last one was installed. By naming this way, you can always tell what the next update to apply is based on what revison you are currently running with little danger of accidentally missing one because you forget it and messing up your phone.

TL;DR;

It will upgrade you to 219.
[Motorola Droid 4] wheels01:
Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm used to letting dev put updates into roms and just flashing, never done one this way. I always learn something new in the forums!
[Motorola Droid 4] bonesjones:
Anything worth a crap in this update?

I've looked but can't find anything that would make it worth the trouble.
[Motorola Droid 4] papi92:
The new lte radio. The battery life is better. New gps config always in there. Its worth it. Backlight is better controlled
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Yep. As near as I can tell, it is a completely non-destructive update that makes a significant general improvement. Today, I left 4G on, and ended up with better battery life than I was getting before the update with 4G turned off.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Do we know whether installing this update will prevent future updates? I seem to remember previous phones having that problem with leaked updates.
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
It's not so much "leaked" as it is being soak-tested. Some users are already getting it OTA.
[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
Yea, got this email this morning (I was in the soak test) regarding it being released tonight officially...

Hi.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our soak test of new software for the Droid 4. After reviewing your community comments and survey feedback, we've made the decision to release the software in stages for all owners starting later this evening.

We will continue to investigate issues reported in our soak community and in the survey. And I may be in contact with some of you to follow up on a couple of problems you have reported.

This soak community will remain open for a short period of time. To return to the public communities, simply log out of the forums and log back in. Remember, all communications related to this soak test, and the details of our processes, are confidential and should not be shared.

Again, accept our thanks for sharing your time and insights to test this software, and for joining the Motorola Feedback Network.

[Motorola Droid 4] calebu2:
I am part of the soak test getting ota updates. (My wife's d4 isnt fwiw).

Anyway, its failing even after unrooting, presumably because i used titanium backup to integrate updates to system apps. Can someone be explicit about my options here?

I assume i am supposed to restore the original system folder. And given i dont have the originals (why would i need them? I thought :) presumably i need to dl the copy of system apps above. Any advice on how to restore everything as efficiently as possible?
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
I posted this a a bit back, but here is a link to my "system/app" folder. It contains versions of everything required to pass the update. Make sure that you remove "_fro" from anything that I have frozen. The updater should look for either the original version, or the version from itself (which these are).

Edit:

I decided to make this simple. I downloaded skylarmb's stock pre-rooted rom, and extracted the original APKs. Here is a zip file with the unmodified files from the original ROM /system/app folder. Replace yours with these, and you should be good to go.

http://omniimpact.com/android/motorola_updates/stockRooted-system-app-215.zip

I have also updated the original post in the thread to reflect this.
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
Fwiw, i'd been messing with my system/build.prop while trying to get GSM working, and that failed the update too. Had to extract that from the stock archive to get the update installed.
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Y'all make it pretty hard to put together comprehensive directions! I don't know how it checks the build.prop, but it is likely that even an extra line break will be enough to throw it off, so in short, you might try replacing that file too.
[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
BAM! stock build.prop file from the day I got the phone. Feel free to break yours.

P.S. Don't forget about file permissions when replacing yours
[Motorola Droid 4] bdsullivan:
I have gotten a build.prop error as well when sideloading. Going to try and replace it with the one posted thanks.
[Motorola Droid 4] bdsullivan:
Ok i can now confirm that if you are getting an error, "error sideloading, build.prop/bunch of numbers,bunch of numbers" when installing via stock recovery. You have made a change to your build.prop that is for some reason blocking the update. It has never done this before on my old d2g or bionic. The only thing i can think of that i changed on my d4 is the dns setting and dalvik heap size. I used the build.prop above and update went smooth as silk. Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid 4] Montecarlo97z:
replacing the build.prop file worked for me as well!
[Motorola Droid 4] calebu2:
Ok. I am usually good at this stuff. Can someone give me (or point me to) step by step instructions on how to restore the system apps files?

I first tried es file explorer copying and it crashed the phone part way through the copy.

I downloaded anttek and I'm not going to comment on the intuitiveness of that app as the creator might visit this forum and get upset or disheartened. It seems I can install individual apks but I want to restore the whole apps folder because I integrated in titanium backup.
[Motorola Droid 4] Dave Lister:
I created a new directory in the /data partition and used adb to push the files in /system/app from a dump I downloaded to it. I then changed the permissions (chown 644) and file owner (chown root.root) in an adb shell. Still in the adb shell, I then copied the files to /system/app after remounting it rw. The phone did reboot and the copy process took a few minutes, but it did work.
[Motorola Droid 4] blustosa:
I lost root upon updating my device, and then tried to re-root but it still is not working. I tried unrooting to start the root process again, but nope, still not.

Any thoughts on what I should be doing here?
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Just re-run the normal rooting process, and it should work just fine.
[Motorola Droid 4] Dave Lister:
I've heard that people are having better luck using the motofail exploit directly instead if the Droid 4 utility for regaining root after the update.
[Motorola Droid 4] blustosa:
Yeah, I tried using the Droid 4 utility and didn't regive me root unfortunately.

Where would I be able to get directly the motofail?
[Motorola Droid 4] Die Bruine:
Motofail

Here you go. Just make sure you have the latest drivers and run the batch file as administrator.
[Motorola Droid 4] TheMuffStuff:
Flashed this and when it rebooted i was still in. 215. If i try to take the ota it looks like it gets too like 90%, then reboots back into. 215
[Motorola Droid 4] TheMuffStuff:
It says the update was sucrssful but then it says. 215 /:
[Motorola Droid 4] Grizzy3:
Did you try just fastbooting it? I'm not 100% positive it would work so id wait for confirmation from someone else but I would think it should work.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
That's odd. It didn't give you any error message when trying to flash from stock recovery? If it gives you an error we might be able to figure where it's getting hung up. If not, using the .219 fastboot might be the easiest. Just make sure you back up first if you do.
[Motorola Droid 4] TheMuffStuff:
Im not home so I was trying to do it the easy way, I gues I will just have to fastboot when I get home. :) Anyone got a quick link for me?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I haven't seen any instruction threads for flashing fastboot files here in the XDA D4 forum but here is a real nice step-by-step thread with download links on droidforums: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...otorola-droid-4-xt894-stock-windows-only.html
[Motorola Droid 4] TheMuffStuff:
Great guide, thank you sir.

You're welcome! I'm glad it worked for you.

KnightWolf123 Does it again!!

​

After hanging out here for a while, I thought that along with trying to build flashable zips to taylor something to function or look a certain way, I would assemble a few Skins. Mostly what we have here is what I felt looked really cool and I could change on the fly without having to flash something.

Also with not needing to flash in recovery, these files can be used by an android device

Rooted or Not Rooted,

With or without a custom rom,

Odexed or Deodexed,

CDMA or GSM

and the file doesn't need to be altered. The ONLY thing required is..

HTC SENSE 3.0 (most devices)

Disclaimer!! YOU and only YOU are responsible for your phone !!​

These skins may be considered WIP (work in progress) so if there are any flaws just remember, it was FREE!

If you are on an unrooted phone or don’t have transparent status bar support, don't download the (clear stat bar) version of these skins.

Some have reported errors downloading, if errors please use another browser or download with PC

If you do download from mediafire with your phone and you get a ".txt" file just rename it to "whatever.apk"

HTC Desire, these skins may or may not work properly. sorry guys but you mat need to find those in your own thread.

Please note that the center icon/word phone in the rosie may differ depending on what rom your using or if your not rooted

To uninstall As with any other skin, simply goto from home screen... Menu/personalize/skin/menu/delete and choose any skin no longer wanted (must already be on a different skin as you cannot delete a skin if it is currently in use)

There are many people I need to thank and I am sure I will miss a few but here goes..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrCherryCoke:
I've only recently started to have these orange boxes highlight everything all throughout the UI. It is so ****ing annoying!! I don't know if I messed with a setting of some kind or if it's an app that's causing it but I want it off! I've searched the web for an answer to no avail. Does anyone have a solution to this? :confused:

Edit: I have uploaded a screenshot for those who do not know what I'm talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrCherryCoke:
Is anyone going to help me? Is this normal??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikeairj:
It'll help if you tell us what apps are affected. I've never seen any orange stuff on my nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Its not a show touch setting in dev options is it?

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] novo2393:
same

That was my first thought aswell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrCherryCoke:
It is not on. It affects the browser, Wikipedia, Pulse, Facebook. I'm thinking any app that is text based.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Using a kernel with an overclocked GPU? They can tend to cause screen artifacts if your device can't handle the increased clock speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Are you on the stock rom unrooted?

If not Id suggest backing a backup with CWM, perform a full wipe. If that fixes it then it could be a third-party app causing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrCherryCoke:
I'm rooted stock. I will try wiping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
To be sure it all wipes ok, connect to fastboot and type: "fastboot erase userdata"

That will erase ALL data, even the internal "sd-card". I remember a user here had a really painful bug where his home button wouldn't work and there was no lockscreen and that was all solved by erasing userdata through fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrCherryCoke:
Does anyone use Pulse? I have nearly reinstalled all of my apps and I don't see the boxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
Pulse user here. Never had problems with it. Also first time seeing boxes like the one you have. I even have restored my feeds several time due to multiple rom flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
also a pulse user....never had any problems like this...and i haven't ever seen a problem like this.

good luck with it though...that would be really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarsky:
having the same issue here as the OP. It doesn't seem to be Nexus specific, I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300T) running ICS 4.0.4.

I have rooted (cf-root) the phone and am running Siyah kernel. Have gone through every single setting I can find in Android & browser, have also uninstalled all the 3rd party Apps without any resolution.

It seems that the orange box surrounds the first submit/input field and affects anything text based - my default browser, chrome, facebook app, etc...I've just realised now I can also have multiple boxes on each screen if i've visited the link.

I got really frustrated because this 'orange box' left me in a google account login loop whenever I try to use the browser to search google.com. As google account is the first link on the mobile page. It's reaaaaally frustrating!

Will have to wipe and reinstall again but hopefully this is of some help to others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Turn this off. That'll solve the box issue.

Hit the thanks button if this work So I know.

EDIT1: I just read this thread. You guys seriously went to point of wiping and formatting your phone????:p:rolleyes:

Can't believe I'm the only one who knows about this.:D

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Nice find, I figured it would be an option in settings. You saved me the time of finding it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hung Wei Lo:
Thank god for you guys! I've had this issue on my RAZR for a while now, but just now got around to looking this up..I kind of panicked when I didn't see the "Enhanced web accessibility" option - but there's an "Install web scripts" option and that was it...thanks!

[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:

I have a red lens defy! so...
[Defy Android Development] nikolas60:
no i am not helmil or something i found that rom and i want to share it and it was saying leaked version ok
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
I also thought that live wallpaper and bootanimation doesn't work on greenbreadmod but to my surprise it was working on GGL ROM.

A note for everyone else who wanna try: Beware this is a chinese ROM (ME525), it will break or flash light. :)
