General Questions about this ROM

Is this ROM a copy of the official ICS Rom from Verizon? Can you please explain what is in this ROM and what works and does not work? I just sent my D4 to Beigephone today to be flashed onto Page Plus Cellular as I hate using Verizon and their over-priced data plans but I may give this a flash as soon as I receive my phone back. Also...could you please explain what bloat,etc. has been removed and what has been added? I'm not a noob at this,just curious as to how it's working on others phones and what is included in this ROM. Sorry if I'm asking too much. I HAVE read the whole thread,just taking precautions. My camera and everything worked great on my D4 with the factory ICS Rom and was hoping everything would work great with this one as well. Thanks for any help!
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
this rom works 100% headache free and it dosnt have junky software... and its not like a home-built rom which can be unstable
[Motorola Droid 4] PS4AndroidHacker:
Could I please have some screenshots and list of apps working as well as what bloat-ware has been removed? I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks Again!
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
i already posted screenshots in the op... install it and find out what i did its half the fun lol... the other option is to send me some money and ill tell you what was removed lol ...
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
will other ICS browsers work for streaming? I use Dolphin on stock so just curious
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
just tried it and it works... just dont delete icsbrowse plus... it seems to unblock flash vids...or they may have updated dolphin... either way flash is workin 4 me
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
new oc patches available in op
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Is 1.2.3b the same as 1.2.3 or another release? Just installed 1.2.3 earlier so just checking. Going to try oc's tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
it is almost 100% the same but I deleted /system/bin/bugtogo.sh

i made a flash-able script to remove it which will bring you to 1.2.3b if you are already on 1.2.3

[Motorola Droid 4] moah909:
I have never gotten this to work for some reason :-\ When i boot up after a fresh install setup immediately crashes but i can get to settings from the notification bar... Pressing home does nothing as does rebooting, i cant even get to the launcher :(
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
1.sbf 217

2.root and install busybox

3.install safe strap

4.flash safestrap

5 boot into safe syatem

6 factory reset

7 install rom only

8 reboot

9 if wanted install any patch you want
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Ok cool. I went in and manually deleted it with rom toolbox. Thanks MyFishBear
[Motorola Droid 4] blustosa:
Awesome stuff, loving the new toggle bar!
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Has anyone tried out the OC patches yet?
[Motorola Droid 4] PelPix:
ulv 1400 OC patch seems to work great! 3200 in Quadrant!

But I'm having a really odd problem. SuperUser won't update the SU binary. It fails on gaining root, even though it gives itself root, and root works fine otherwise.

Also, terminal crashes immediately on load.
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Ive noticed the same thing with superuser. all root apps work fine and when needed superuser grants it but it wont update. it freezes when checking the installed version. Even tried force closing, cache wipe, data wipe.. nothing.

Im trying the ULV 1320 OC now. seems good, but just got off charge.
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
obtained *almost* 3500 in quadrant on 1400 normal voltage, going to test battery to see if the theory of performance governing really does save battery
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
nice job what governor and scheduler did you use?
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
Is anyone having data issues? I installed the gsm patch (before I booted) and then the cdma revert patch (after I booted once) and my phone flat out will not connect to data... ever... This is wildly frustrating. This is like before ICS was leaked and I want to bash my phone with a sledgehammer.
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
if you didn't setup the rom yet, I recommend you to wipe data and cache. you'll be back to normal, I believe. It refers to caches in telephony databases in the rom after first boot.

@myfishbear, did you get any higher scores? I'm testing those razr's kernel libs for long time already and can't setup good config yet. one thing I understood - droid 4 doesn't like voltage changes. (may be my droid 4 only).
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
sbf 217 and reinstall it will fix everything... just either use gsm or cdma... try not to flip flop... it works on cdma for stock...
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
new governors and speed script added in op
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
I just wiped data/cache and reinstalled 1.23b... I didn't bother with either the GSM or the CDMA switch back patches and it's working fine. Now I officially don't know why those are even there.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Is there a method to installed the OC's of which I may be unaware? I'm just installing them from safestrap, applying the zip files, but after I do, the phone freezes up on the Eclipse splash screen. What am I missing? I'm 0 for 2. I have used the 1425 and the 1400ulv and both have had the same result.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
heres how you oc

factory reset

install 1.2.3b than boot into android

boot back into safestrap

install 1320 oc than speedscript and the extra governors in that order

reboot and install setcpu, and pick what you want
[Motorola Droid 4] strakajagr:
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!! Thank you!!
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Any one having an issue with their earpiece on the phone not working? Speaker works fine. Mine randomly started today to cut out and now nothing. Not sure if it is a ROM or Phone issue at the moment.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
not sure if you suspect anything try the regular volt 1320 it seems to be the most stable 4 everyone...
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Can I just flash it over the current?

also, should I then rerun the speed script and governor patches after installing the regular volt 1320?
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
yep just renstall the governors and speed script as well after you do
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
ok cool. running it now. ill update afterwards if it changes the issue im having or not.

Update: re-ran to reg OC w/ patches. Even tried a different governor incase the boostedass2 was also an issue, still no change. Giving it the night and then I guess reflashing tomorrow. Going to check stock as well
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Black screen on boot

So I followed the instructions and used safestrap v2.00a but when trying to boot up, all I get is a black screen. Not sure why, I wiped everything before installing the zip. Any help is much appreciated!
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
sbf 217 and start from scratch
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
If you could post instructions for that, I will be one happy camper!
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
SBF file

Actually all I really need to know is what file to flash when doing the SBF. I can do the rest.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
Hey guys got a question,

How does the UC/OC works ? when i flash one of this the CPU will be all the time at this speed (1100 for example) or will it change between this speed and the original one (for example when screen off, it UC and when screen on it is normal speed ?)
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
UC/OC is plenty similar, this script adds new modules for stock kernel and script, that adds values of voltage and clocks. Yes, they will switch between clocks script added, not with original. For both cores.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php

oleg is rite it will slow down to 300mhz and ramp up to 1100
[Motorola Droid 4] blustosa:
Ok, so weird thing happening to the battery;

It will sometimes show 95% but claims on the main screen the phone is charged.

Sometimes it will go to 98, or 99 and same. It just doesn't seem to have a pattern. On some occasions it will actually get to the 100 but quickly drop. I have tried doing a battery recalibration but it still happens. I have also let the phone die completely and then recharged it to full while it was still off. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Last question then I will shut up. Will OTA Rootkeeper preserve root even after an SBF?
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
no you need to reroot with razrs edge or another 4.0.4 root method
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
Nope you'll need to reroot
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
The instructions for SBF say to only flash if you are on 2.3.6. That's what I have on my primary system. I have flashed AOKP ICS on my safe system before but I cant see how that would affect doing SBF since my primary system in Gingerbread.

Also should I just use the 4.0.4 firmware files for SBF or do I need to use 2.3.6 first then upgrade. Trying to avoid future issues.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
you should sbf 219. than apply the ota. than install the rom after you have 4.0.4
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Which version of the OS are you currently on with your primary system?

If you are still on Gingerbread you will need to either run the regular update to ICS (make sure to remove safestrap first) or run the SBF to install it.

You need 4.0.4 to be on this version of Eclipse as well as be running Safestrap 2.0 or higher.
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Will do. Thanks again! Really excited about this ROM.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
-New Version 1.2.4

i striped out more vzw bs, hardcoded free tethering, made a data app partition, removed the Motorola cd partition, int.d is preinstalled, stock speeds have added governors, found even more spyware, speedscript is preinstalled, (but if you change oc speed like to 1320 you got to reinstall it) had to modify MotorolaSettingsProvider.apk and repack it... did all of it with the help of olegfusion
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
downloading and going to load it now. still have the speaker issue (even on stock) so it has to be my phone. Thanks to you, micron and olegfusion for all your contributions.

also, thanks for adding the info to the patches :) youre the man
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
So I now have ICS 4.0.4 installed and working great. Rooted the device and double checked to make sure rooted apps work. Then do. However safestrap is not installing. It says it installed but where it list's "Recovery State" it is saying not installed. I have the latest su binarys installed so im not sure why it wont install safestrap. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
make sure you also updated busybox. its been a known issue with safestrap installs on 4.0.4
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
here is busybox

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...usybox&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
myfishbear, 1.2.4 is in violation of Google Doc's terms of service.... mirror it somewhere else
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
hahaha

i think i maxed out the traffic
[Motorola Droid 4] bgarlock:
my d/l was almost done, too :) p00f! TOS violation :)
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
back up hahah
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Busybox did the trick. This ROM runs soooooo nice. Can't thank you guys enough for your help.:victory:
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
np enjoy it
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
-----New Russian version new European GSM patch and new Cdma revert patch
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
-----New Russian version new European GSM patch and new Cdma revert patch on op
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
I'm noticing that the ROM is lagging/running a little slow. Is this because of the indexing? If so about how long does it take to index?
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
takes bout a 6 hours... bty try setting the cpu with setcpu and using hotplugx governor it makes a huge difference! i think its set to interactive as default.i think thats what your noticing
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Much better! Don't have hotplugx tho. Just hotplug.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
what version of setcpu are u using?
[Motorola Droid 4] blustosa:
Same thing here. 3.0.7 SetCPU version, only hotplug
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
try installing the extra governors

its fine to use hotplug bty... did you install any oc pack?
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
I'm on 3.0.7. Now I'm curious, what does hotplugx do? I bet it has to do with hot plugging while overcooked. And no I don't have any oc installed. The links you posted were dead at the time I checked. I would definitely be down for getting to 1.3 maybe even 1.4 if the OS remains stable.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
thats why. the oc has those modules... try 1320 normal voltage... its the best profile, and the most stable for most d4s.
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Will do. Now is there an app that I load the profiles with or does it go somewhere in the system files?
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
What's the word on flashing 1.2.4 over 1.2.1?

Also a question if I may. Whats the point in overclocking (besides just the fun of it)? The phone is pretty snappy anyway, does it make a difference in the way you use the phone day to day if it's overclocked?
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
not really that important its optional, and can cause some instability...
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
Thanks. I assume your talking about OC? What about my first question regarding flashing over 1.2.1?

Thanks for making this ROM, its one of the best I've seen on any device.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
thank you! if coming from a old version you can just flash over it... i personally factory reset but i bet its not always necessary.
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Thank you so much for your work myfishbear! A couple of suggestions; the Talk apk is rather messed up - graphics are weird, I replaced it with the one from gapps and it works fine, you might consider doing this for the next version. Also, the old version of the clock used in Eclipse isn't much of an improvement over Motorola's, in fact, it lacks a timer feature, and doesn't use the new ICS widget, or have a "gradually increase volume" option for the alarm. Again, I'd recommend putting that clock back in. If you would like a place to host the ROM, by the way, please PM me. I can give you an FTP account on my server. (No ads, no bandwidth limits, etc)
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
sounds good to me ill look at that.. bty new oc patches are up
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
use setcpu.. i just made new patches... you can find the scripts in your /system/etc/ind.d folder
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
Well, i tried flashing over 1.2.1 and was having pretty severe data problems. Couldn't keep 4G connected at all. Restored my backup; ill try again later with a full wipe.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
lol sry bout that never upgraded from 1.2.1... well we know now... factory reset and install..
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Hey myfishbear, have you messed around with any of the other governors like smartassv2? I was reading about it and it seems promising. Just wondering if you had any insight on the other governors.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
not way too much been making oc profiles and tuning stuff up... so far i like hot plug governors... plays nice with the kern
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
added patches 4 it check op
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
What does the speedscript do?
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
speeds up memory and I/O

this is 1425 with speed script
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
keep getting network errors when trying to download 1.2.4b on my pc

edit: problem solved, downloaded it on my droid

edit 2: i wish google docs didnt obliterate the file name lol

edit 3: 1.2.4b runs buttery smooth with 1320 applied! amazing work!
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Does webtop work? I just got an atrix dock that has the adapter cables to work with atrix 2, photon, razr and d4 and it just keeps looping or timing out and no cursor.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
webtop works over hdmi for me... i dont have a dock tho

-new wallpaper patch on op
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Hmm, maybe its an issue with the dock or just my D4. It keeps turning off and on and I get no cursor to use on the dock. Guess ill be submitting an rma on it lol
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
you should boot into your unsafe system for a sec and see if it works there.
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
Did the ability to set double tap on home to camera get taken away? I can't find it in 1.2.4b.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
its the same cam as 1.2.3b if you want the old cam back use the cam revert patch in the op
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
Ok, got the camera back. Thanks!

I installed the mot clock patch but it didn't work. I get "Unfortunately, Alarm & Timer has stopped." every time I try to run it. Any ideas? I reflashed the patch but it didn't help.

**never mind, cleared app data and it's fixed. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] bgarlock:
Rollin' with 1.2.4b and after a restart, I lost the additional govenors? Also, how do you get Google Docs to quit showing the expanded zip files, and just let me d/l from my phone? Tried stock browser, FF, Chrome, requesting the desktop site, and still previews the zip instead of offering a d/l.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
moving to ftp soon
[Motorola Droid 4] jwagman1:
Couple questions:

1. is there a zip to flash back to default clock speeds?

2. if i flash an overclock then the speed script, then change the overclock, do i need to reflash the speed script?

Thanks!!! Love the ROM!!!
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
When you get a chance, could you please post a new link for the 1.2.1 camera fix patch. Current link is not working. Thanks!

Reference Link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx_4iE0bHiQgeTBFRmdxMUlXaUU
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
check the new ftp thanks to omniuni

http://omniimpact.com/android/roms/myfishbear/
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Is it "signed_camrevert.zip"?

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

I don't think the camera fix patch is on the FTP server.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
it is "signed_camrevert.zip"
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
1 yes on the ftp

2 yes
[Motorola Droid 4] beflythis:
oldschool milestone and htc desire z user here... with a brand-new, freshly updated and rooted droid 4... and just gotta say, awesome job on this ROM!

edit: if I install/flash a skin and then want to revert to the original eclipse skin, do i just re-flash the original eclipse .zip, or is there another process?
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
Having issues after flashing the camera fix patch. Not sure if the phone is locking up or if its shuting down but on multiple occasions I have had my phone not turn on after appying the camera fix. I am positive that the camera patch is the culprit because after going back to a previous nandroid restore, the issue stopped.
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
I've disabled the SetCPU profile I made that clocks down the processor when the screen is turned off. Had a theory that maybe this could be causing the phone to have trouble waking up. Has anyone else had similar issues after flashing the camera fix patch?
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
I have the camera revert patch installed and its given me no problems at all.

Dont know for sure if it can/will fix it, but you could always try clearing the camera app cache.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
yeah and also reinstall the oc patch and speed script as well
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
I'm actually thinking its SetCPU that's giving me problems which is weird cause i've never had problems with it in the past. But with new ROM's comes new problems. However this ROM has been flawless. But yea back to SetCPU, it seems the profile I set sometimes prevents the phone from waking up. I haven't had any problems after deleting the profile. Sorry for the false alarm, camera patch is fine.
[Motorola Droid 4] misterpat1975:
Just wanted to say this works with regular clockworkmod recovery. I replaced my stock system with eclipse 1.2.5 no problems.

How hard would it be to add reboot and reboot recovery instead of just power off?
[Motorola Droid 4] gkrules:
I'm having a lot of trouble with the clock app, and the default patch doesn't seem to work. It randomly crashes all the time. It crashes when I boot up or try to set an alarm. The message that comes up is "Unfortunately, Clock has stopped." I've been having this problem since 1.2.3. I tried extracting the patch and installing the apk, but that fails as well.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
clear cache and data for the app and it will be fixed
[Motorola Droid 4] kwood129:
+1 on the reboot option. Is this a possibility?
[Motorola Droid 4] teookie:
Anyway to remove the google now patch? Its pretty cool, but kinda buggy and has maid regular google searches difficult.
[Motorola Droid 4] bgarlock:
+1 on the Reboot option :) BTW: Love this ROM - very stable, and my daily driver. Great work, @myfishbear!!

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

I thought I was seeing this issue as well. I use "CPU Master Pro", which has profiles for screen off, etc, and sometimes when trying to unlock the screen, it just hangs. Seems to happen to me once every 24 hrs or so. I'm using the hotplug gov. not sure if that's related or not. I also have hotplug gov. for all the profiles.. I wonder if changing it to the default, 'interactive' would have any affect..
[Motorola Droid 4] whiteout7942:
I've tried them all except performance (which would defeat the purpose of trying to save battery life). They all yield the same results. It's not really a big deal, just kind of annoying that I can't use that profile. O well.
[Motorola Droid 4] jkieffer46:
notification toggles?

I see on 1.2.5 the notification bar comes stock with some stuff. Is there a way to remove it? I already had the notification toggle app set up the way i wanted it and now theres some extra i dont want and lots i still want up there. Or is there a way to manipulate it?
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
use the systemui.apk from a prev build
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
reinstall the rom and your ocs w/o a wipe
[Motorola Droid 4] badboi_zero:
The phone would occasionally lag. Music will stutter and the phone becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. I'm also using speed script. I close all apps I'm not using. I use a kill all function on go launcher ex to free up memory. Any way to get rid of that horrendous lag?
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
install rom without oc or speedscript... task killers are bad for android,,, go launcher is also not that good... go for somthing better like nova or adw
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
I've not had any trouble with Go Launcher, at least not for quite a while, but yeah, task killers will create problems with Android's internal task management.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
My replacement HOX's wifi is fluctuating a lot. Do our phones suffer from the same wifi problems as the international version?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
No. The international version has antennas in a different spot than the evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
It can, but you basically have to use the back casing as a punching bag, and I suspect that you will probably crack the case before you cause the same issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
When I turn vibration on under settings>sounds whenever the phone vibrates, it rattles pretty loudly. Maybe there is stuff loose back there and that's why my wifi fluctuates a lot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Wasn't there someone who had rattling with vibration on? MetalHead maybe?
