Everything works great, only issue is play store always force closes, but fast as hell cant wait to see the progress
[RAZR HD Android Development] thibaulb:
Noob here again

Is there a step by step instructions list for installing this? Also, what is Safestrap?
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
No one is going to help you out much because you didn't even read the first post. There are step by step instructions including the definition and what safe strap is and does. Oh. Welcome to the community.

P.s. their are threads on new users of this type of way of installation. Hope its not coming off harsh. ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] thibaulb:
Sorry for my lazyness. I couldn't view the link about safestrap because I'm at work and the site is blocked. I probably should have mentioned that in my post. I'll just check it when I get home. As far as step by step instructions, I was referring to the whole installation of CM10, rather than just the installation of safestrap

You said "Their are threads on new users of this type of way of installation". I've read over that a few times and don't quite understand what you mean. I haven't dug super super deep into these forums but I didn't see any threads about how to install CM10.

Thanks for the help
[RAZR HD Android Development] seh6183:
What if I:

Nandroid backup via safestrap

Install this on my xt925 to test

Is there a possibility to perma-brick or have a screwed up radio that I wouldn't be able to fix? I want to flash and play with it, but only if I can get back with a nandroid.

Actually can't I flash anything I want on a rom slot with safestrap? Can't I just go back to the stock slot at anytime?

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Got impatient and tried it on slot 1. Nothing worked as expected, it booted but no radios or anything would respond. I just deleted rom slot 1 and I'm back to stock.

I guess my question is, how much do I have to donate to get a working version of this for the xt925? :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] mattlgroff:
Maybe you don't understand what a donation is ;)

Epinter has an XT925 CM10 in this board, check that out.
[RAZR HD Android Development] krazie1:
Dhacker are you the only developer with a droid RAZR HD?
[RAZR HD Android Development] seh6183:
I don't want to void my warranty just to install cm10. I'm hoping for a safestrap version.
[RAZR HD Android Development] koftheworld:
Ah because of the need for an unlocked bootloader?
[RAZR HD Android Development] bluebanzai:
How's the battery life on this comparatively? Any rough feelings on % improvement?
[RAZR HD Android Development] seh6183:
Yes.
[RAZR HD Android Development] jojo4747:
Well since ss supports kexec we practically have an unlocked bootloader
[RAZR HD Android Development] lucidvtec:
Not really..lol
[RAZR HD Android Development] jojo4747:
Lmao that's what the practically is there for.
[RAZR HD Android Development] epinter:
I'm preparing a safestrap version for XT925. I need to test yet. I hope my next release will have safestrap support.
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
Ok I'd like some help..do u flash this over the JB leak/OTA or just create a ROM slot n flash? I created a ROK slot n restored the leak n wiped everything n flashed n then it just got stuck at the nexus X...waited ten mins n gave up...wat did I do wrong? Oh n one other thing I wasn't on 3.05.17 SS..but I am now..
[RAZR HD Android Development] thibaulb:
When you create a new rom slot just install CM10. 1 in that slot. No need to install jelly bean and all that other crap.
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
Tried that and now im stuck at the boot animation!! help??
[RAZR HD Android Development] thibaulb:
Hmmm I'm not sure then. I would try doing it all over again and if you still get bootlooped then I have no idea. I'm far from an expert on this stuff.
[RAZR HD Android Development] jacob4duke:
i would delete the rom slot and make a new one, flash this rom, then you flash gapps
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
Did that, so no go:(

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

Ok I did that n still doesn't work but wat do u mean be flash rom then gapps? U wudnt do it at the same time?
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
And if that doesn't work then try flashing it on rom slot 1only. If you have something there already that you want or use just back it up and try to place it in an empty spot
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
Ok ill try that... I was on 3..but wat difference does it make? N there was a question I wanted to ask but idk where n ik this is off topic n hope it doesn't get me in trouble but how many rom slots is it recommended to use at one time? I have four..
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
Flashed on ROM slot 1 and VOILÀ!! my first cm experience and I'm in love! Can't wait till its DD material!
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
There's no recommendation. Is to your preference. The way the safe strap was made was with the four slots excluding the stock slot for your stock official side. Just make sure you have enough space on your SD because between all the 1g partition that we make for slots and info we leave in those other ROMs to test take up memory. By the way 1g is enough to setup a slot.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

12/10 glitches and is missing developer options and performance. 12/5 is still the better beta. And is currently my daily. Unless i need a camera or Bluetooth for music, i switch over. But i surely can't wait for this. I've done so much to my cm10 ROM i don't want to stop. Themed and all. I don't even have nav buttons. Only gestures. ;). Alright I'm getting to excited.
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
Btw wy does my gplay force close?
[RAZR HD Android Development] jacob4duke:
what about one of the 12/07s? does the camera work on one of those, because one says camera test
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
Could be the gapp you used. If you didn't start fresh with a fresh slot set up and installation then try that. And gapps must be 4.1+
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
i stayed totally fresh... N I got a the 121212 gapps.. :confused:

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------
[RAZR HD Android Development] jacob4duke:
so is this making any progress because i cant wait to use this thing as a daily driver
[RAZR HD Android Development] DertyDOH:
this is pretty awesome...can't wait for it to get stable
[RAZR HD Android Development] trillonometry:
Good job. Keep it up.
[RAZR HD Android Development] jacob4duke:
i cant wait for this to become a daily driver keep up the good work, ive notice he has been working on the nexus 4 roms right now due to his twitter posts
[RAZR HD Android Development] egamerhdk:
I would also love if this could hit daily driver status for me. I definitely need a camera and phone calls for work. If you want daily driver status then donate! Can't wait for some stock feel to this phone, I cannot take Motorolas changes any longer. It's killing me.

Does anyone else feel this phone is one of the top phones on the market today?

Samsung = Galaxy S3

LG = Nexus 4

HTC = DNA

Motorola = Droid Razr Maxx HD

Out of all of those phones listed, I would choose the moto over everyone else. They are all fast phones. Each with a different UI overlay. Except for Nexus 4. Stock is beautiful, but doesn't have the battery. If I can get CM 10.1 on this phone, I'll have the best phone on the market in my opinion.
[RAZR HD Android Development] atomicdsm:
If this was daily driver ready I'd root my maxx hd tonight. I noticed on hashcode's goo.im that there's an aokp build up there too. Has anyone tried that out yet?

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD (XT926_VERIZON)
[RAZR HD Android Development] triskropf97:
I did..same story as the cm ROMs...although I love it!
[RAZR HD Android Development] atomicdsm:
So no working camera or phone on that either? I didn't see a thread for it so I thought I'd ask here.

no camera but Idk about the phone..yeah Ik I wish there'd be a thread!!
[RAZR HD Android Development] bobukcat:
Same here, but the issue with the play store FCing makes it a lot harder to use. I'll be keeping an eye out for a build with that fixed.
[RAZR HD Android Development] epinter:
If you have a 926 dev edition, you can try this: http://goo.im/devs/epinter/cm-10.1-20130115-UNOFFICIAL-epinter-xt926.zip

Is a build I made for 926, but don't have data or call working yet. Hashcode is working to bring up call and data.

dhacker is unavailable now ... I'm posting this with his permission.
[RAZR HD Android Development] clouse2013:
I have a x926 and I'll give it a try. If you also need somebody to test I am completely willing. Thanks for building for the consumer edition too!

Edit: **** nevermind. didnt see this was dev. I have consumer
[RAZR HD Android Development] epinter:
It's only for dev edition because the 4.2 requires several changes on the kernel to make the display work correctly... When we have kexec working, all phones with locked bootloader will be able to use this too.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Jazi:
How close is kexec/what are holdups on it? Not asking as an eta or anything just as a curious fellow developer :)

Edit: Just found hashcode's blog...nevermind haha
[RAZR HD Android Development] clouse2013:
Just found it too. Good to see development is going on woth this phone even if we cant use it yet on the locked verizon phones.
[RAZR HD Android Development] epinter:
Soon hashcode will release a build with data and calls working, for the 926 dev edition. The working/non-working list will be the same as XT925.
[RAZR HD Android Development] halo13:
Awesome job!
[RAZR HD Android Development] jldr:
Giving this a bump because it may become relevant again very soon.

USB Host Mode is supported on Android 3.1 and higher. The HTC Hero runs fine on 2.x, but anything higher and you're really challenging the hardware. If your Hero is a spare phone, you could just try flashing a JellyBean ROM on it and see. If you do, post back here and let us know how it worked out. :)

Thanks for this. Just bought some more tags to replace the old mifare.
[Nexus 4 General] sporez:
Excellent post, and information! Thank you!
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
Hopefully this will push the industry towards fully NFC standards compliant tags, rather than Mifare classic.
[Nexus 4 General] Number R09:
Thanks for the information. Just placed an order for the ntag203. Looking forward to trying them out.
[Nexus 4 General] Agwe23:
Thank you for the useful information and I just ordered a 20 pack for shipping to the Philippines.
[Nexus 4 General] vivek310:
Thanks - This is terrific information. I already have a Nexus 7 and a nexus 4 is on the way.

Have few questions. Would appreciate your inputs:

1) Do you ship to international addresses? What do you charge for the shipping?

2) Will be using the NFC tags for lots of automation - for ex: turning off WiFi while leaving, enabling BT when getting in the car etc. Are these functions pre-programmed in tags you sell?

3) If I want to customize functionality, what kind of hardware would I additionally require?

4) Do you sell blank NFC tags so that I can program tags as I wish?

5) Costs - how much per tag and how much for the NFC reader / writer?

I haven't visited your site yet (as It's blocked at work), so apologies if this information is already available on the site.

,
[Nexus 4 General] Harry Pothead:
your nexus 4 will be your nfc reader/writer, no additional hardware required. There are apps to program these tags
[Nexus 4 General] vivek310:
Awesome. Thanks!

managed to browse through the site as well, and got most of the information I wanted.

...now, If my nexus 4 came along...
[Nexus 4 General] webmaster:
If I want to place a tag on my router so that guests coming over dont need to ask for the password, will the native NFC app on their phone be able to read the data or do they need a specific app? If their phone will automatically read the tag, how will it be displayed on the device?
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
I have an n4.

Is there a way to make a tag that any android phone using 4.xxx (I.e. gs3, gn2, n4, gnex) do a check in with Facebook etc?

I bought a few tektiles to play with, but obviously can't write then properly.

Is 140 bytes enough to write a check in on Facebook command?
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
I wonder about security. Say you make a tag for your office, don't lock it and while you are gone someone wants to rewrite the tag to steal your information is this possible? If so is there any way to tell if your tag has been rewritten without reading the tag before using it? Can you read the tag before using it? Do any tags allow security like requiring a pin number to write to them?
[Nexus 4 General] pedxing:
Sorry, but my classics are working fine for both read and write. Definitely reading more that just the uid. Make sure your device is on 4.2.1.
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
I am, and I can't write anything to a tektile.

And according to documentation, I'm not supposed to be able to. What NFC app are you using?
[Nexus 4 General] krohnjw:
It can't write them, period. This shouldn't even be a discussion, it's not capable of reading or writing classics. It wasn't updated in 4.2.1 to support classics.

You *can* pull a UUID from a classic tag. However you cannot write to the physical tag or read regardless if the tag is blank or already formatted NDEF.
[Nexus 4 General] pedxing:
I couldn't write to them either until 4.2.1 was released. But all i own is 10 mifare 1k classics and all but one was blank prior to owning the n4. I've written to 4 others since that time using NFC task launcher.
[Nexus 4 General] krohnjw:
It's not writing them.
[Nexus 4 General] pedxing:
Duuuuude.... what the heck is it doing then? You think I'm lying about this? What possible reason would i have to do that?

Edit: also if you look at the ota package for 4.2.1 you'll see that a couple of NFC related packages and driver files were edited. I haven't bothered to look at the source on git but I'm fairly sure that was the mod they made.
[Nexus 4 General] krohnjw:
I wrote it, it's not writing them :). You aren't lying, it just isn't clear what is happening behind the scenes so to speak.

It's detecting they can't be written and mapping the actions locally. To allow for cross device portability the payload is also pushed to a cloud service we provide. This way any device can also use that tag.

The message was a bit misleading for a while (it still said write successful as to not confuse anyone that the tag would still work) but that got updated as well recently to be more clear.

The update adding this mapping functionality pushed at the same time as the update for Android so there are more than a couple people who have attributed it to the OS update.
[Nexus 4 General] pedxing:
OK i see what you're saying. I put the device into airplane mode but with nfc on and retested. It did not write.

However this begs the question....this whole cloud service thing is a huge security violation and does not seem to be documented anywhere. The play store permission list does not mention this use of the internet permission. This is a HUGE DEAL. You appear to be saving the information from thousands of tags in this cloud service...this could include passwords or other personal information.

Can you explain?
[Nexus 4 General] krohnjw:
To be clear *NO* data is stored unless the payload is larger than the tag capacity (or the tag cannot be written to). Most people generally write tags that are smaller than their physical tags so the cloud service is never leveraged.

With that said, the play store listing definitely should be updated. This is a fairly new addition and that listing is out of date. (Edit: I've updated it)

In particular what data are you concerned about that is sensitive? Most actions are static constants. The only free-form data that comes to mind that could be sensitive is a wifi key. oAuth credentials for twitter/foursquare/latitude are local to the device only. We don't store any usernames or passwords to any services nor support integrating with apps that require these (which would possibly necessitate storing them with tag data). We also don't store any contextual information regarding the payload itself (it's literally a UUID -> payload mapping).

I understand the concern and I'll bug a few people tomorrow about it (ideally it should be present what's going on for people who want to know and it should have a privacy policy attached). Feel free to send me a PM or email if you want to discuss anything.
[Nexus 4 General] xdatastic:
out of interest, which cloud service is it using?
[Nexus 4 General] krohnjw:
We're leveraging our Tagstand Manager service that was set up for managing regular tags via the cloud. This uses that back end with a custom API on the front end for use within the app.
[Nexus 4 General] pedxing:
Don't get me wrong, i like the product and have been using it since i first got the galaxy nexus. But definitely, it would be a good idea to document what's going on with the cloud service so that users can make their own choices in the matter.
[Nexus 4 General] krohnjw:
Working on that. I updated the market description to be a bit more clear.
[Nexus 4 General] wavemaster00:
Thanks for the information.

How does one read the UID?
[Nexus 4 General] hollywoodfrodo:
Well, the UID is on the tag - it's just a matter of having the right app that utilizes it. You can use AutomateIt which is a great automation app that allows uses other than NFC tags, but also allows you to trigger tasks based on an NFC Tag's UID. Also, ReTag Pro uses UID, and NFC Task Launcher can use the UID.

If you just want to read the UID for your own fun purposes, then use Start NFC Expert - free app to read tag info.
[Nexus 4 General] Peopie:
I just got some of the NTAG 203 andytag keychains, and they don't seem to be working on my nexus 4

I was on CM 10.1 Monthly, and I tried updating to a February 13th build of the nightly, and it still isn't working

I've already contacted their customer support, and they have been very nice to me.

I was able to test it with another one of their sticker tags and that worked fine for me, but I have noticed that I cannot scan the sticker with the keychain ontop of the sticker, but once I move the keychain out of the way, it reads the sticker
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
I have Samsung tech tiles that I bought and programmed with NFC task manager I actually programmed two functions and it works fine...
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
you programmed functions into the phone, not the sticker. try and use a tag writer, and you can't.
[Nexus 4 General] hollywoodfrodo:
Yeah, we had some issues with the key chains - it was a manufacturing defect. But it has been resolved and our new shipment of NTAG203 key chains will work with the Nexus 4 (or any other nfc phone) just fine.
[Nexus 4 General] vatsalshah@1894:
Please explain

Does nexus 5 and LG G2 have same kind of chip that Nexus 4/10 have ?

If yes then particularly which kind of NFC tags should be bought so that it is compatible with both of the devices?
[Nexus 4 General] xdatastic:
Dunno if its same chip, but NFC compliant tags should work on both, so NTAG203 should be a good bet. Stay away from Mifare Classic tags as per OP.
[Motorola Droid 3] ronnie_rotten:
hey all. i've just bought an xt862 from the us to use in the uk. I suspect it's a refurb, among other things the wireless doesn't work, and from what google tells me the 'rtn menu' should tell me the refurb status. the ##rtn# code doesn't work, and launcher pro doesn't find the com.hidden menu i've read about. any ideas?

is there a way to manually select europe gsm band, as it seems to be set on us band? i've read about users in china jamming their phones by selecting us, and I don't fancy that much...!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Maybe you can try *#*#4636#*#* and push Phone Information, Menu key, then select the band there?
[Motorola Droid 3] ronnie_rotten:
nope..... only usa band listed, no others to switch to. is that normal, or should there be a few options on a global phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Is it not getting you 3g at all or something?
[Motorola Droid 3] ronnie_rotten:
I fairness, it's pk most of the time. it seems to drop signal and need a reboot once every 24hrs, and the siignal bar is nearly always on 1 or 0 bars, never over half full.

it just seems odd to have a setting for only usa band in the menu. but maybe that's normal?
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I wouldn't go by bars - go by settings->about phone->status. Look at signal strength. If it is greater than -95 dBM or so (i.e., less negative; -80 is greater), then you most likely have a good-enough signal.

I've read a great suggestion somewhere that a signal meter should be just a red, yellow, or green indicator - if you have a signal, you have a signal. If it's spotty, it may drop in and out while in a call. There's no standard for how many bars mean which signal - one phone may show two bars, another four bars, when both have the same signal.
[Motorola Droid 3] ronnie_rotten:
fair point about the relativity of bars. red yellow green would do! I seem to be clocking around -107 give or take a point or 2.

as you say, a signal is a signal...

....now, how can I bring up the rtn menu. devices now inc are insisting this unit is new, and I KNOW it ain't. ##rtn# didn't work, or launcher pro shortcut to activity trick. no activity called 'hidden menu' or anything like it. can this menu be buried, making it impossible to find? the ##rtn# just disappears from the dialer with no effect after I type it in...
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The way I mentioned is the only way. Do you have your global phone setting at zero on your build.prop?
[Motorola Droid 3] ronnie_rotten:
I just looked and i'm pretty sure it's set to 1.

there's a lot of info in there mind, and it's getting late!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Try zero.
