So far not seeing any significant problems using 10.1.3 as a daily driver with Safestrap 3.60. Had been running stock 4.1.2 and while it wasn't bad, CM is a solid improvement.

I did notice a 20% drop in reported battery charge while using it, from 65% to 45%. This Droid4 was purchased the day they came out, perhaps the battery is showing its age.

Also I am often seeing a cellular signal of 2147483647 dBm (a.k.a Integer.MAX_VALUE) fairly often...also reported as 255 ASU. Poor cell signal is an issue here, typically see -120 to -100 dBm. I have it configured to display dBm level in the status bar.

Thanks again for all the effort on this!
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
that signal is normal for about a min till the phone reads the sim card
[Motorola Droid 4] tliebeck:
This one seems to flip back to it occasionally though (I like the dBm indicator in the status bar, so I see it all the time).
[Motorola Droid 4] robuser007:
How about android 4.3 ? Why isn't there a thread yet? Are there a lot of bugs ?: I'll found them here:

[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
Hey guys my MMS has been broken for some time now as well. I can send and receive them through a third party app like Verizon messages, but neither function works through the built in messaging app. I've done the telephony db trick a couple times, but it doesn't work either. Any ideas?

EDIT: I can receive, it seems that my connection was just being slow at the time of posting.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
The last two nightlies (11th and 16th of October) run stable and smooth for me. But with nightlies, you never know ;)

(for the last nightly, I had to fix permissions or it wouldn't mount sdcard0)

EDIT:

Apparently the permission fix wasn't permanent and sdcard0 got dismounted suddenly. Had to reboot the phone and fix permissions again. I hope this will be fixed in the next release. But I don't know if anyone except me has this problem and if the developers know ...
[Motorola Droid 4] ugynok:
anyone missing the "wake up with volume rockers" ? where is that? I cannot found that :(

using the latest nightly: 4.3.1 from oct16. :) thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] bonesjones:
After a long chat and debug session with hash he made some great changes that got int the 16th build.

One thing is the radio connects almost instantly.

Zram can now be disabled. Etc
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
I've had this issue too. Seems to happen intermittently and sometimes after turning up/down the volume and freezes oddly enough. :-/
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I have noticed over the last month or so CM10.2 has gotten progressively slower for me. I didn't really notice it at first. But I finally got to the point where I started wondering if it was slow, or if it was just me. Then, on the 10/11 nightly, I started having pretty bad battery drain issues. I was having to charge it twice a day. I thought maybe it was the nightly I was so I restored my backup from 10/06 but same issues. I decided to switch back to stock for a change of pace and, yeah, apparently CM10.2 on my D4 was running a lot slower than I thought it was. Everything was faster. What have NOT done yet is try a fresh wipe and re-install of CM10.2. I plan on doing that soon. Has anyone else noticed slowness of battery drain issues?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
I too have noticed those same issues kwyrt is having
[Motorola Droid 4] popezaphod:
I am having issues on the 10/16 nightly where I can't boot into Cyanogenmod at all. The phone will sometimes not respond to the power button at all - I try holding the power button and volume up for 10 seconds and then the power button to no avail - and sometimes it will get through the splash screen and SafeStrap and then power off. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Wipe dalvik and cache then try to reflash it in safe strap. If its on stock ROM you will have to start over
[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
The MMS issue is fixed in the 10/20 build! Thanks for the patches.
[Motorola Droid 4] ugynok:
anyone missing the "wakeup with volume rockers"? i tried with tampering build.prop file and WAKE to the keyboardfiles, but no luck... :(

is there a solution? thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] bonesjones:
Hash is getting ready to post a nice build with stable status.

It should be a very very nice running build.

Hopefully it'll be the build most of us will need.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Looking forward to this! I'm on CM 10.1.3 still, but I'm really enjoying it.
[Motorola Droid 4] hblinqiang:
My base version is 4.1.2, downlaod from the sbf.xda-developers.com, when I flash the lastest cm rom, after successfully flashed, the phone can not boot, after the red M circle, the screen is empty, and wait half hour, no response.

who can find the problem? thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] popezaphod:
Two ongoing issues:

1) When phone has been on all day it loses all connectivity - cell, LTE, etc. Reboot fixes this.

2) Cannot d/l dailies on the phone; have to side load them.

I am on the 10/21 build IIRC.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Why don't you update to a newer version then? I had the same loss of connectivity too, but the 10/23 build fixed that for me. Now I'm waiting for the "stable" :)
[Motorola Droid 4] popezaphod:
Because I was waiting for word like yours that it had been dealt with in a nightly and, well, because I always forget to update when I'm relaxed at home. :/
[Motorola Droid 4] dharmapunk:
halloween nightly is a treat!

based on first impressions, the 10/31 nightly cm-10.2-20131026-NIGHTLY-maserati is quite nice. tons of activity in the last couple of days' changelogs, so i decided to take the dive straight from stock. 4.3 vs 4.1.2? forget that old stock rom.

installed using safestrap 3.6 on rom slot 1. had no luck installing to stock rom slot, hangs at bootloader, i assume this is a minor limitation and is just not supported? would be awfully nice to get that space back, any tips appreciated.

thanks for a fantastic rom! it's amazing to have support for 4.3 on an aging line of devices.

i'm stuck with the droid 4 for a few more months and was getting really tired of my tablet being way more advanced than my phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Wipe data cache and dalvik. Install just the rom wipe cache/dalvik then reboot and let it load then reboot into recovery and install gapps wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. Enjoy or report back here.
[Motorola Droid 4] dharmapunk:
Thanks for the advice.

Tried this, unfortunately, hangs at bootloader (5+min) on 1st boot of just the 10/31 build. exact same .zip boots on same phone on rom slot 1. not complaining, but does seem to have some issue installing to stock slot. EDT: It hangs at the cyanogenmod spinning logo- not technically bootloader.

I know there are older and newer safestrap versions, could that be a likely cause? 3.63 seems latest. I know I'm in the wrong thread sorta sorry for confusing topics.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Which one are you using?
[Motorola Droid 4] chupp4:
sms not working

Tried latest stable release, nighty build either.

SMS (text, messages) don't work. I was still getting notification message - Message was not sent.

Running on GSM.

same thing when i tried AVATAR rom....

I am running eclipse now.. sms working.. where is the problem?
[Motorola Droid 4] r3flux:
Same problem here with cm latest and paranoid latest. No SMS. I don't mind going back to eclipse but the keyboard backlight isn't working with ics based roms.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Do you use your phone on a GSM network? Did you apply the GSM patch?
[Motorola Droid 4] chupp4:
No, I did not aplied the patch. Will it help?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
If you live in a country with a GSM instead of a CDMA network, then it will help for sure. The Droid 4 is a "Verizon only" phone and therefore it uses CDMA as default (also with CM) ...
[Motorola Droid 4] chupp4:
because I was running on Eclipse ROM and I've never instaled this gsm patch. And sms worked fine... probably the gsm patch was included in eclipse ROM
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Eclipse is a stock-based rom and as in stock rom there is a little gsm support but on every aosp rom there is no any gsm support but there is only cdma support.
[Motorola Droid 4] Ghost93:
On the 11/03 nightly and I can't connect to LTE. Anyone else with the same problem?
[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
I have LTE working on the 11/04 nightly, not sure about 11/03. What's your network mode? I use LTE+CDMA/EvDo
[Motorola Droid 4] Ghost93:
Lol, well changing the network mode fixed it. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
I've been having this issue also with losing lte constantly usually switching network mode or turning on airplane mode fixes.
[Motorola Droid 4] dharmapunk:
I *was* on safestrap 3.6.

Wound up "bricked" and had to use fastboot to flash back to stock, re-root, and now I've installed 3.63. I'll give another try in a day or three with the new version.

Anyone else had success flashing CM 10.2 to stock rom slot on droid 4? What build version and what Safestrap were you on when you flashed to stock slot?

Thanks for any tips!
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
ive flashed 10.2 to stock was running 3.6 still am running 3.6 but it was an older nightly build ill try new build today and report back

ps I flashed 10.2 m1 build to stock running great just cant get data to work
[Motorola Droid 4] r3flux:
For no reason, my touchscreen is dead and doesn't recognize any input, so I can't even get into safe strap. How can I get over this?
[Motorola Droid 4] sean9721:
That sounds like a hardware issue to me. I had the same thing happen to my Droid 2.
[Motorola Droid 4] zsebob:
On CM10.2 I have FC with Mobile Network in setting.

Do you have this issue on your side?
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
hope we see a kitkat build soon
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
It would be cool but starting to doubt since hash is retiring on this device. Hopefully the other couple we have won't do the same.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
yeah I seen that about hash I hope other people port it
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
The problem is not the porting of a kitkat ROM. The problem is the kernel. Pretty sure all our AOSP based ROMs use hash's kernel which would need to be updated to support kitkat ROMs.

Droid 4 - CM10.2
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
ah ok well that sucks
[Motorola Droid 4] Ghost93:
Can anyone send MMS? I can't.
[Motorola Droid 4] r3flux:
Thanks man. Right now it's RIP Droid 4. I'm gonna wait for the Droid 5 now..
[Motorola Droid 4] zsebob:
Do you use the GSM patch? ( for non USA users )

http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android
[Motorola Droid 4] Ghost93:
I'm in the USA
[Motorola Droid 4] RoninRyan:
Try using the verizon messaging app. Should resolve the APN issues and allow you to recieve MMS through it.
[Motorola Droid 4] Ghost93:
Well now I feel like a noob here, would that be the stock messaging app because that's the one I use. I am retrieving the messages, but I can't seem to send them.
[Motorola Droid 4] RoninRyan:
Hey, no worries. It's not the stock app, you find it in the google play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.verizon.messaging.vzmsgs&hl=en
[Motorola Droid 4] huckky:
With cm 10.2 and slim rom 4.3.1 I had this weird thing:

phone picked up location where it was last booted up and showed it like my current location. But apps like yandex maps were showing correct location time to time. Maybe it`s gapps problem? I was really hoping to run 4.3 on my D4.
[Motorola Droid 4] Ghost93:
Worked like a charm, thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] RoninRyan:
I too have had very similar problems. Was horrible when I got lost in a city and google maps said i was still at home. Anyone have any ideas what causes this gps signal error?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

I have a hunch: When the new kernel is kexecd, the bt/gps part of the wifi/bt/gps-chip is reset for 5 milliseconds (not really intended as a reset, as the chip is assumed to already be in reset state, which is not true, thanks to kexec), which might be to short for a real reset and the chip gets into an undefined state.

I'm currently building my own cm-10.2-images where I have increased this to 100 milliseconds and it seems my gps problems are solved with this. (But I have not really tested it long-term, only for a few days, so this might be just a wrong guess). I have attached the patch I'm using.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] RoninRyan:
How can I apply that patch to a nightly build?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

You have to download the Cyanogenmod source, apply my patch and rebuild the image.

As this is a rather big effort just to see if my patch fixes it, I have just uploaded the image I'm currently running to: http://bork.cs.fau.de/~michael/d4/

Please report back if this fixes (or does not fix) it for you.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
So I "think" installing safestrap v3.65 may have solved my GPS issues. I was having the same issues as everyone else where Google Maps and my weather widget always thought I was at home. After installing safestrap v3.65 and rebooting, GPS seems to be working. I noticed now, when I open Maps, the little GPS icon shows up now in the status bar. It was not doing that before. I also opened Maps while at the store today and it correctly recognized where I was instead of still showing me at home. I have more running around to do today so I will keep testing and see how it holds up. I'll update the post after I have had more time and opportunity to test.

Update: Tested a couple more times today as I was running around. Correctly picked up location at a store across town and again correctly picked it up when I arrived home. I think we may have a winner! Just need to see how it holds up over time.
[Motorola Droid 4] huckky:
Great news. Does it work with WiFi and mobile network locations too? Or just with GPS?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I don't know. Haven't checked that yet and I'm done running for the day. I'm hoping so. If you get a chance to check it out let us know!
[Motorola Droid 4] DarkMidnight:
Data Connection (LTE)

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I'm sorry if this isn't the correct place to put this but I've noticed on the last several Nighties that my phone has been dropping the 4G LTE Data Connection chronically. I never loose the cell signal though.

I just thought it was strange. My network mode is set to "global" and I have tried the *228+ (option 1 and 2) to update my PRL to no avail. I was wondering what other suggestions their may be.

Thanks!

Update: The newest Nightly may have solved my problem. I'll have to keep my eye on it. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
I saw that you have a directory with CM11, you will create a thread?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
A thread will be created when its a useable and stable build. Right now there is a number of issues. I'm sure stargo won't mind have other people than myself test it but as for now he has decided its not ready for release. So he's not bombarded with PM's feel free to message me the issues you experience with his build and I will relay the messages. Once its useable and stable a thread will be created. As of right now it's in the beginning stages of being a work in progress build.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
yeah I tried the 11-18-2 build and noticed no data and the phone stops working after a bit and browser is very glitchy lol
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Yea as I said, early stages. I have faith in stargo that we'll have a daily driver build but also understand that he has a life outside of doing these awesome things so no pressure.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I have noticed this issue with every single nightly build of CM10.2 on our Droid 4's. My friend who has a Galaxy S3 and is also running CM10.2 notes the exact same issue. Both of our phones pick up LTE data fine, but upon loosing service, never reconnect again to data, even if they retain or regain the 2G cellular connection without data. Toggling Airplane seems to force our phones to reconnect to LTE again, but it's really annoying that walking through an area without service, even for a moment, means the phone drops LTE and doesn't get it back. I've played with network modes and updated my roaming list to no avail (though sometimes that does work to get back LTE)
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
oh I know that
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Toggling airplane mode seems to fix this for me or switching network mode
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

I hope the build from yesterday (20131119) no longer crashes and fixes some of the graphics-corruptions. The black boxes in the stock browser and Google search seem to be a bug in the new chromium render-engine introduced in Android 4.4, other devices have them, too...

The 20131119-build seems to work for me (apart from the black boxes) just fine, including mobile data (using GSM/3G in germany).

I should probably start a new thread for this, now.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
everything seems to be working just fine except the browser glitches and I still cant get data working I don't have lte on the phone since I use prepaid so 3g is all im able to have but I cant get it to work lol
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
No problems using chrome. I don't understand y Google doesn't replace the stock one with chrome anyway
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
I don't know I don't really like chrome though so lol
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Aaah I see. Well I prefer it over the stock one anyway due to chromecast. But to each his own. We should be seeing a thread from stargo pretty soon. Just a quick question. Did u flash this on stock ROM?
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
no I flashed on rom slot 1 just to be on the safe side I don't have a oem cable to restore lol
[Motorola Droid 4] MerkXR4:
anyone have bootloop issues with 11/23 or 11/24 ROMs?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Yes, the new boot-animation seems to lead to a kernel-memory allocation-failure:

<6>PVR_K: RA_Alloc FAILED : arena=General, size=0x400000(0x400000), alignment=0x0, offset=0x0

...

If I see this correctly, every frame in the boot-animation gets 4MB of kernel memory, and the new boot-animation has a few more frames than the old one...

Edit: This can be fixed by adding TARGET_BOOTANIMATION_TEXTURE_CACHE := false to BoardConfigCommon.mk

Is anyone or everyone else having issues with 3g? I can never seem to get anything other than LTE anymore. This is apart from the standard data dropping issues. I took a drive for a few hundred miles last night and was only able to get LTE in areas that I know 3g should be working.
[Motorola Droid 4] sol-invictus:
Does anyone know why there is no release candidate for the droid 4 of cm 10.2 RC1?
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Do you have outgoing SMS working?

I can't get it to be sent no matter what in Czech :( It looks like an SMSC problem, except SMSC is set up fine, see my detailed post at showthread.php?t=2544725 :(
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Did you install the GSM fix? Maybe someone should post the fix on the first page ...
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
That helped :victory: You mean Mentor's patch, right? Or is there any other? I'd still like to be able to use CDMA if in the US by chance, which Mentor has disabled :)
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Yepp, I meant Mentor's patch :)

Hope you downloaded the newest version from here: http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android

(On this page, Mentor also tells you how to get CDMA back...)
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
I actually had old 1.7 version downloaded already from when I started thinking about upgrading, just forgot about it and assumed if any huge fix was developed, it would be implemented in the "stable" CM release. It's considerably smaller (150k), but works just fine... Is there any huge development in the new one?

And is it possible it will be implemented into D4 CM?
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
In the latest version I re-edited a lot of settings.
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
OK, I'll try that one, thanks :)
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
UGH, what happened with yesterday's nightly?! I went from the 12/02 to the 12/03 nightly yesterday, using the CM updater built into the ROM as I've been doing since I went up to CM10.2 in September. However, upon booting up I had lost about 10 applications. Mostly paid apps, but also some side-loaded (but perfectly legally bought through the Humble Store). They were gone off the device, and would not reinstall until I deleted their associated data folders on the internal memory. WTF? I'm scared and upset to even install today's nightly for fear that I will loose apps again.

Even worse: I lost ALL APP DATA entirely from every single app on my device, but CM maintained all of it's settings, wifi and bluetooth pairings, wallpaper, etc. But every app that wasn't the ROM lost it's data as well, something that has never happened to me going between nightlies of the same rom before. :( Luckily I have Titanium Backup, but what would have caused this and how can I hopefully prevent this from occurring in the future?
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Just found out the CM 10.2 when clean installed misses option to swap Internal Storage <-> MicroSD and a Torch tile in Quick Settings panel.

For the first one, you can swap it by adding this line to /system/build.prop:

persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1

and rebooting.

Anyone knowing Linux scripting enough to make a flashable .zip package to add this line?

Any hack to re-enable the Torch tile? I used it quite often and it certainly works there - when only updating from 10.1.3 to 10.2 with Torch in the Quick Settings, it gets preserved. I can help finding it in the backup of my system, but have no idea where to start :( Is the setting of tiles stored in Quick Settings panel in some SQLite database?

Thanks a lot for your help :)
[Motorola Droid 4] RoninRyan:
