[Motorola Droid 4] WaltA:
I have my D4 with the previous update, Gingerbread 2.3.6 (...219). It is rooted and I have a few of the pre-loaded apps frozen.

What should I do before allowing the new OTA update to ICS?

Should I leave it rooted? Should I "hide" root? Should I unroot (how)? Does it matter?

Should I unfreeze the apps? Leave them frozen? Doesn't matter because they will all be replaced/overwritten?

Should I uninstall Superuser and Busybox?

After the OTA update is complete, will I have to re-root? Is this what I should use, Droid 4 Utility Updated ?

Any other hints, suggestions, cautions, or problems from those who already did the official ICS update?
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
If you installed and used safestrap before, you will need to switch back to the original (unsafe) system, uninstall it, and restore the original contents of /preinstall. You should unroot after that. You can save root with OTA rootkeeper. Make sure you have the updated su binary, since the old binary won't run on ICS.
[Motorola Droid 4] cellzealot:
I generally find it easier to just flash the system and preinstall images from the FXZ with fastboot rather than trying to undo any changes I have made and then the update always works.

Also, preserving root is unnecessary because the RazrEdge ICS exploit works fine to root any of the updates.

If you use OTARootkeeper be sure to Temp Unroot first or the update will fail.
[Motorola Droid 4] moah909:
You will need to enable all the apps in /system and revert any changes you made in /system. The update scans /system and compares it to things within the update.
[Motorola Droid 4] woochild:
?

does anyone have all the original apps? i re-installed some i guess for the last ota update after i failed many times and finally got it to work. now i have the soak test and it keeps failing, so i'm assuming i'm missing something. i've removed everything that requires root just to be sure and it still fails.
[Motorola Droid 4] rorytmeadows:
I'm stock rooted 6.13.215.XT894 and I can't seem to get the 219 update to apply. Forum search didn't seem to help. I've tried Voodoo Rootkeeper, but it doesn't seem to help. Nothing else on here (no Titanium, Safestrap, etc.). Am I crazy?
[Motorola Droid 4] WaltA:
Isn't 6.13.219 the Gingerbread update from April? I did the .215 to .219 back then, leaving my phone rooted and many apps deleted (not frozen). The OTA update went fine, though when done, I wasn't rooted anymore and all the pre-loaded apps were back.

I don't know if that OTA update going fine was just luck, which is why I am asking here about what to do before the OTA ICS update, from those who might share their ICS update experience (good or bad).
[Motorola Droid 4] patrickdk:
My ICS update went good, took a very long time though, and almost killed the battery.

First I used OTArootkeeper to unroot the phone, then installed the update. The update rebooted, and installed, rebooted again, and did a nother install, then said upgrading apps, at this point it took near 2hours, If you have a lot of apps, make sure to have the phone plugged in. I thought my phone was bricked at this point, cause the progress display stopped after a while. but after 2hours of that, it finished booting and was fine. Used otarootkeeper again, and regained root, and my phone is back to normal like nothing happened.

I really didn't play with the rom much, except to root it. Lots of new annoying bloatware though, have to see if they are just installed apps, or if they actually run.

[Motorola Droid 4] Goodeman:
After compulsively re trying the software update button I received a notification that said 217 was available. (I guess I somehow got into the soak test). Anyway, I downloaded it last night (officially) as well as Voodoo OTA Root keeper from the market. FYI: I am only rooted, no roms or safestrap. I went into superuser and made sure I had the current su binary. Back in Voodoo, "Protect root" - > "Temp Un- root". This can be tested by opening a root app and trying to use its root function, only to be denied. Then I installed the update and let it run its course. After I was running 4.0.4, and all my apps were updated from the market, I went into Voodoo and pressed "Restore root".

Now I am running stock ics on my rooted droid 4!
[Motorola Droid 4] Rev Nipahc:

i got it....

I followed some directions to return to stock and flash in a copy of the original system via adp.

worked great. Now I am in ICS! ;)

Installation GUIDE: for GB and ICS version

1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2

2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)

3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.

4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery(had to select Custom recovery since those options did not exist, i had to choose between stock and custom). Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.

5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip(selected "WIUI_v4_DefyPlus_2_8_2.zip" being the zip i downloaded and put on the sd card) and let it finish.

(never got here)6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!

(If you are stuck on boot (Motorola logo), do 4th and 6th point again.)

7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu

8. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery"

how can i fix this? thanks ahead.

[HTC One X] Rignog:
Simply question guys, is it wise/safe to use faux123 ultimate (cpu overclock) kernel. Not disrespecting the build quality its just the HTC one x heats up like crazy so reverted back to faux normal kernel. I love this phone but just wanna get the most out of it? Any opinions on this are very welcome :)
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
You said it yourself. If it's to hot for you don't use it?
[HTC One X] kisokod:
I use it! overclock and undervolt as faux123 suggested. So far the CPU temp is around 40-48c in not use state and 50-60c in mild use, 60-83c if playing heavy game. Before UV my HOX reached 92c, but after UV never been that state.

Battery life, no complain at all:good:

I used faux123 006u kernel, OC until 1700 MHz.

[HTC One X] joewong1991:

I use system tuner does everything I need and if you uv to much the phone will freeze and reboot so don't worry if it crashes just don't save as default I have to change the values every time I reboot
[HTC One X] Rignog:
Well took the plunge and overclocked and under voltaged the CPU and so far so good took the prev advice and running at 1.6ghz temp seems high when under heavy load but researched and well under guidelines and not much hotter than stock :P this mobile just gets better and better :)

That means you are a variant 1. Variant 2 is up to 1,55GHz and variant 3 is 1,6GHz.

That's a shame so that means I carnt overclock then but still I'm uv wich has saved heat and battery

Not necessarily, just faux who had made those steps up in this version. Maybe later he will release a new version with overclock for variant 1 also.

Like a dumbass, I forgot to set the alarm on my car (which locks the doors).

I had left my phone in the car because the battery died. And the kicker is I thought I had my spare battery, so I pulled the dead battery out. Couldn't find the spare battery. So I put the phone in my glovebox and left the battery in my center console.

Come back to my car later and find the interior light on and glovebox open and my Galaxy S3 GONE.

So since the battery wasn't in it, my Seekdroid GPS/Theft app can't find the phone or lock it or anything.

I also lost my mortgage payment which was in a Wells Fargo envelope in the glovebox. So I'm $$$ broke for the next few months.

Awhile back someone mentioned you can get a new phone from AT&T with a $10 phone plan. Like a non-data plan. Or you get a full plan & phone, then cancel the data on it afterwards and just use the phone on your normal phone plan and pay $10 for the non-data plan.

Anyone know the particulars behind that? I can't find it anymore.

2 - In recovery, try to fix permissions

User applications is the applications you install

Sorry, it is late here and I'm tired.

Try to fix permissions in recovery. it could fixes some FC. And the FC could be a problem with the app itself.
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
thnx man you did your best

now other guys none knows the problem??
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
I don't use the application, so I can't help. But you could try to go another way, try to find out if the application itself has this bug. comments in application forum, in the play store,something like that :)

Any easy screen protector and good quality please don't recommends xtremeguard protector... I'm so frustrated with the xtreme protector, bubble doesn't disappear after awhile><

Thanks everyone for any suggestion
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Souai:
with the xtremeguard, the rate at which the bubbles disappear depends on the ambient temperature. for me, i sped things up by leaving my nexus 7 off and then placing it on a heater set to medium. after a few hours, all the bubbles were gone. the only reason why i hated my xtremeguard was because all 5 of the screen protectors i bought had vertical scratches on the underside. im surprised their whole 'shield heal' thing doesnt apply to the underside.

at the moment, im just using ebay cheapies that i bought in bundles of 10. if you want a bit more durability from them, then only peel off the bottom layer (adhesive side) and leave the top layer on. that way if you do accidentally scratch it, you can remove the top layer and you'll still have another layer underneath.

The first try was awesome but slightly off where one of the corners was overlapping. I peeled it off and it never went on right again. Tons of dust and when I ran it under hot soapy water, like I always do, the back glue started rubbing off making it a goner.

I never had the glue come off of a screen protector. In fact I never knew they used glue. I always thought they just clung via static. The larger the screen the harder it is to apply. I'm bummed.
