Has anyone been able to get the maps to actually be able to get a gps signal for use in turn by turn navigation? I'm using 6.3.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gigermunit:
Worked fine for me in 6.2, had to use it to get to an off campus office for school.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Kuroiyatsu:
I guess my luck is just no good. Didn't have to do anything special besides turning on the services that navigation typically depends on?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Advertize:
I am using 6.3 and it was slow but did get a GPS signal and eventually it did give me directions. It still seems as though there is a small GPS issue because certain other GPS programs will still FC. There is also an issue with Wireless and USB tethering. Wireless tether simply will not connect and USB tether force closes. Other than these two issues I absolutely love this rom. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] KiDxNinja:
So after flashing 6.3 over 6.2, i started to get complete lockups maybe 8 hours later. I'm gonna wipe and flash and see if the issues persist.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
Yea id try that first. If it doesn't help what settings are you using CPU wise? It might have just been the gov I was using but I noticed sort of a laggyness with this kernel compared to the 7/13 one. (I'm testing this week's MIUI release right now not currently running this Rom but let me know what you guys think. If you feel like testing try flashing back to sparksco's 7/13 and see and report if it runs better.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gigermunit:
I have had no issues at all and I'm on 6.3 now
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Kuroiyatsu:
I guess it isn't a big deal these days, but none of the Angry Birds games work on 6.3. It just goes to a black screen.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
did it work on previous versions?

edit: anyone else getting this? i just did a superwipe and flashed and it works fine even with force GPU rendering checked and unchecked. did you flash over 6.2?

edit2: unrelated but I posted up my superwipe zip in the installation instructions. Mik wrote the script its the wiping and ext4 tweaking part of his Mikshifted-G rom but i just pulled the wiping part out and put it into an updater-script. Tested and works great
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Kuroiyatsu:
I did a full wipe (factory reset, dalvik, cache) before I installed. I didn't try try Angry Birds with version 6.2 though.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
Can you get me a logcat maybe? alogcat works fine from the market if you dont have it set up on your computer. hopefully that helps but I just cant recreate the issue to look at it myself. Is anyone else willing to test if this happens to them?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Xbugzx:
Quick question, Idk if it's been asked before but has anybody ever tried this with the rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621808 and had any success with it? If not, can it be applied?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeatl:
I would say the best battery settings are already on the kernel. I wouldn't try to implement anything else other than V6 superscript for better ram management.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
if you run the supercharger it does alot of those VM settings, and as for the kernel edits the way i see it is that im using a custom kernel, if i was running a stock sense kernel with stock values hell yea id tweak em out but the cyanogenmod kernel for 7x30 has been up for what a year now being tweaked out by devs who are just crazy good lol. VM settings i wouldnt have a problem tweaking if we didnt have the supercharger because i know AOSP devs are focused on a little more than little things like that (thats what sense devs are for XD ) but kernel values i like to leave alone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Kuroiyatsu:
Reinstalling and using. Your ultracleaner worked. All of the games are functioning now. Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Xbugzx:
Ok, I was just asking because I used to have an unofficial cm9 rom and i put that script. It was night time and I probably had around 60 percent and I forgot to charge it, well when I woke up I still had that 60 percent, so I went to charge it and later in the day my battery life started dropping.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
jumpin jesus on a pogo stick! i just realized i can put the day of the week with the time on this in the status bar, i think its my favorite feature. this really is coming along greatly though, ive been using it as a daily for a bit now and i like it so much better than the cm9 builds.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
lol i love that too, one feature i wish theyd add is from MIUI how you can click the date when you drag the status bar down and it opens up the calendar, i went to do that today and i was like but but but but
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
yeah that would be pretty sweet to have, good luck if you can figure it out.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Whiplashh:
Quick question: Are there any themes that also theme the facebook app? And also I have Cm7 now and when I use font installer to change the font, it changes everything to that font, on this it only does some things. Any other font installer or method I could use? Thanks! I have been searching and couldn't find an answer.

well i use friendcaster not the "official" app so sorry i dont have any recommendations. but i know that the fonts are set up differently than they were in GB and i dont know if the same apps still work. i know theres an android 4.0 font section in the rommanager app tho that might be worth checking out
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cdrury88:
Quick question. It's there a way to add a force roam mod to this Rom. I'm really liking it but sprint blows in some spots where I live. I searched and found an app called roam control but I didn't know if there was a way I could implicate it. There is a mod on the mikmik but I think that's just for sense. Thanks in advanced for any info
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Whiplashh:
Thank you! And I tried the Android 4.0 section, and it didn't even change the font, I probably did something wrong though.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Quetzalcoatl:
Uhm.

Can't you go to settings and then mobile networks and select "affiliated networks" instead of automatic or home?lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
I'm on MIUI right now, is that setting there on AOKP? i know its there like on CM7. i wouldnt know lol my shift is STILL NOT ACTIVATED D:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cdrury88:
Thank you. That would be crazy cool.

It is not in the Rom already. The only 2 options are "home only" and "automatic". That's why I ask in the first place.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TarantinoAKASerge:
Is there any way to delete and edit contacts?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Quetzalcoatl:
Yeah, I just saw that.

Odd, that option is available in cm7.2
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
Its not any different than any other rom when it comes to that are you having trouble finding the edit button or something?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Whiplashh:
Another quick bug (well, I think it is) it if you use the ics buttons, the keyboard doesn't go fully above it so you have to go make the navigation button smaller. A way o fix that or am I the only one who has the problem?

Edit: Basically the full default sized Ics buttons covers the bottom buttons on the keyboad (on screen)

I just installed deck's pb21 and it has the affiliated network options
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TarantinoAKASerge:
Long pressing the contact and editing or viewing the contact, pressing menu, and then edit is how I would normally do it, but for some reason long pressing doesn't do anything and pressing the contact to view will dial them instead.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Quetzalcoatl:
are you trying to access the contacts via the "people" app, or whatever the hell its called, or from like recent calls and stuff?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
Open the people app. Press their name and it should bring you to a page with a contact picture on the top half and then the number below it press menu and then press edit
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TarantinoAKASerge:
Never mind, I just realized that I was on the wrong contacts menu.

Found an odd bug. Bank of america app. Wants me to download version from amazon for kindle lol.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] pwnyourace:
I've tried the awesomebeats on this phone and on the speaker at high volumes it just turns the sound to garbage so I've kept it out of my builds. And the bank app ill try and see if I can find any other roms who've had similar issues and solved them because I don't have an account with them and I have no idea what'd be causing that. What comes to mind like first thing for me is build.prop but ill try and find out.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] hamagc:
Ya I see nothing in build.prop that make bofa think this is a kindle fire lol. You should be able to download the app, open it and see what I'm seeing, I get the update msg long before logging in or annything.

Well I built it as a personal project because sense 2.1 is butt ugly. It's more of a theme but it would be far less difficult to just post it as a full ROM. If there's interest and people want me to release it I'll have to get permissions from aamikam cuz It's based on mikshifted-G and virus because this is all coming from his eternity ROM. And I got the messaging app done :D only big things left are the rosie and I'll have to try and get a copy of his themed dialer cuz It's just badass lol

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
no idea, ive been running this as a daily for quite some time now and calls work fine for me. tell your friend to try redownloading it and making sure everythings wiped (system/data/dalvik cache/cache) and reflashing it
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeatl:
It more than likely is due to Sprint's ****ty service. I have been having trouble with calls for two weeks now. Call static, garbled voice and sometimes no sound at all.

I don't have service on this phone so I use an app to make free calls and texts. Its called textplus, texting works fine but when I call someone I can't hear it ringing, the person gets my call.

[Motorola Droid 4] DuratecPaul:
was considering a droid 4 or razor as my next phone..

Dont really know much about it only the glossy adverts and such

and want to know what people think of the droid 4 who already own it.

Any descent custom roms/kernels?

battery life?

does it get hot?

official updates?

is the keyboard any good?

sound quality in phone calls/ speaker phone?

screen quality?

wish you bought something else?
[Motorola Droid 4] mrAdvo:
- For D4 we have pretty good ICS leaks, I`m on of the latest leaks, and it`s stable and very comfortable to use.

- Battery life - good enough, better than on my Droid 3 (I saw that there is a fix for WiFi to improve the battery life, so should be even better)

- Not hot for me, but I`m not using this phone for games.

- Official update of ICS (4.0.4) is planned for Q3 2012, so should be delivered to our phones in next few monthes. I hope after ICS we will get JB.

- Keyboard is terrific and awesome. I had all Droids from Motorola and keyboard for Droid 4 is the best keyboard I`ve seen before.

- sounds quality is good, from my point of view - the same as on my Droid 3, so no issues here. With the speaker phone don`t see any issues as well.

- Screen is good, sharp enough and looks like better than screen for Droid 3 (at least in comprasion). But it`s not AMOLED...

- Since I`m using keyboard smartphones for work and I really need hardware keyboard (e-mails, messages, etc.) - Droid 4 is the best choice for me. If you don`t need keyboard then I would suggest to take a look to the Motorola Razr.
[Motorola Droid 4] silver6054:
Mainly agree with MrAdvo, with a little less positiveness about the screen. I came from the Droid 2 Global (now an ancient phone) and that screen was much better. This shows when scrolling fast or in some animated games (such as Drop). But it's certainly usable.

I paid full price (to keep unlimited data) and I don't currently regret my decision! Waiting for official ICS so it can be global.
[Motorola Droid 4] anon117:
I went with the D4 over the razr and I'm glad I did. I work for vzw and constantly get customers coming in who hate the battery life on the razr. I have had no customers complaining about their droid 4.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Any descent custom roms/kernels? - So far we're stuck with stock kernels due to the locked bootloader but if what I've seen in the dev forums is true, that will be fixable soon with kexec. Hashcode has also ported both CM9 and AOKP to the stock kernel so that should cover most people's needs. Personally I'm an AOKP fangirl, but CM9 is good too!

battery life? - I'm currently in the phase where I'm constantly tinkering with it all day even though I'm supposed to be working, and in the worst case I still had 16% left by the time I went to bed at 4AM! Currently it's 3:27AM and the battery is still at 68% I'd say that was pretty good.

does it get hot? - Not that I've noticed

official updates? - Still waiting for ICS, regular leaks, as discussed already.

is the keyboard any good? - Yes, providing you're not using it to admin linux/unix/cisco type gear as some of the more obscure punctuation such as curly brackets is not on the keyboard and has to be accessed through menus. If you're using it as a text messaging device, or for posting on social networks it's awesome, easily the nicest phone keyboard I have ever used, and this is coming from someone who has had landscape QWERTY phones since the days of the Nokia 9110

sound quality in phone calls/ speaker phone? - Seems fine to me.

screen quality? - This is the big sticking point. If you look closely at a photograph or a smooth gradient, you can see a speckly/dithering effect from the pentile screen. You have to know it's there and go looking for it, but if you're expecting the screen of a Galaxy SIII you'll be disappointed. It's still a decent screen with good brightness and contrast. Haven't tried it in direct sunlight yet though, what with me being in the UK :)

wish you bought something else? - Nope. Once you've decided you want a QWERTYphone, there really isn't another option right now. Thankfully this is a very good option.

One thing that's important to note, since you're in Australia, which I'm 99% certain is a GSM country, this phone will not work out of the box as the gingerbread firmware is CDMA only and locked to the Verizon network in the USA. You'll need to flash to the latest ICS leak. Idiot's guide here.
[Motorola Droid 4] DuratecPaul:
Thanx guys and girls,

Yeah I was wondering why I couldnt find this phone from aussie sellers in ebay and telco's.

So can be hacked to GSM?

Dam looked like a good phone too.

is it still a touch screen ?
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
The hardware is fully capable of both CDMA and GSM, however the firmware it shipped with does not have GSM support because Verizon are, well, they're as nice and helpful as Telstra! ;)

Officially the Droid 4 will get world-phone functionality at the same time as the official ICS firmware drops, supposedly in Q3, but you can have it right now with one of the leaks.

Yes it's still a touchscreen. I only really warned you about the screen because quite a few people are moaning about it when compared to the Galaxy SIII. Personally I'm fine with the screen.
[Motorola Droid 4] silver6054:
If you plan to use the phone outside the US, and are at least a little paranoid, it might be a good idea to buy the phone prior to the ICS release and install the leak.

Note: no evidence for what follows! It's at least possible that Verizon might lock the GSM portion of the phone, as they have done on their previous pre-ICS world phones. The leaks don't have a lock, and neither does the official ICS release on the RAZR, but it might seem to be a good idea at some point. Unlocking can be very hard, you need to be a VZ customer to get it from Verizon, and on some models, particularly the Droid 2 Global, Verizon changed the codes so that the web-based vendors codes (using Moto's DB) didn't work most of the time. In addition, they can make it hard to root and impossible to revert to an earlier version (Droid 2 got a root method last week, several months after the latest update). So, may not happen, but.....
[Motorola Droid 4] DuratecPaul:
Thanx all round...

if i find the right 1 at the right price ...I will be getting one I think.

I hate onscreen keyboards ...

I wonder does swiftkeys work with the hardware keyboard ie suggest words spell correct.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
No idea what swiftkeys is, but it does pop up a number of word suggestions at the bottom of the screen as I type.

As for price, I got a brand new one for US$500 which worked out at about UK£360 after import taxes. This was a lot cheaper than buying a similar device out of contract in the UK since most sellers do $1 = £1 to set UK prices even though the exchange rate is currently $1.50 = £1.

I don't know how Australian prices compare, or how much you get taxed for personal imports, but I'm sure you people get ripped off on electronic goods just as much as us Poms. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] DuratecPaul:
Oh hell yeah we do ...in the shops... but online from USA is very cheap anything under $1000 au is tax free

UK is same I think but we have to put up with your horrific postal charges.
[Motorola Droid 4] tobby88:
Yes, I imported my Droid 4 from USA here in Australia. Works great and no taxes because of price lower than 1000 AUD.
