Its really barely noticeable. You have to actively look for it to notice it. Also, I still want to try on a new clean install. Just curious that I haven't seen it on mdm for the whole time and then it started up.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
That is curious. Thanks for the heads up tho, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tech128:
Thanks mdmower and cyanogenmod team! The GSM problems with the previous versions appear to be fixed with the latest RIL. I'll do some more testing on it, but its much better signal-wise.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Fresh install. Still a small flicker. Like I said, barely noticeable, you have to really look for it and I only noticed it in the first place because of a specific color in the background and a high brightness. It doesn't seem to intensify like the kernel 3.4 builds do over time. So based on purely anecdotal evidence, I'd say just watch out for running 3.4 builds for too long if you notice flicker( I only ran for about a day a while back).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
Just want to add that I'm back to flashing the official nightlies each day for better or for worse and all is fine, stability is not an issue nor is the "flicker of death" (I just coined that term feel free to use it...lol)

Sure... FOD! I've just coined the first instance of a catchy short form... Please feel free to use my abbreviation of prairiedogn's phrase!

And thanks for your feedback! :D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tech128:
Well I've been testing it more and so far it seems pretty stable signal-wise. You do need to have it set to GSM Only though. I tried WCDMA Preferred and it borked out quite a few times. I have another incredible 4g on viper rom and it's set to WCDMA Preferred with no issues. Although I never see any better than Edge data either way...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
Well I'm back on mdm05 for a couple of days now and I'm starting to see the delayed 'screen on' glitch that was accompanied with the 3.4 kernel. I too never had this happen the whole time I was running mdm05. I'm wondering if there is some kind of residual effect from running that 0809 nightly before. Its got me quite curious but for now I think I'm gonna restore my Viper backup for a bit till my phone normalizes again and then shoot back to mdm05 and see what happens.

I see the new RIL was merged into the official nightlies. Anything we should be on the lookout for?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
[MENTION=4258433]mdmower[/MENTION] the changes you made to the RIL that were submitted to CM source is the same that we've been running on mdm05?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I see it too on my device in Chrome when I am entering a URL and the background is gray. It might be worth trying Pete02's idea of running a stock-based ROM for a few days to see if it clears up when re-installing CM.

I'd be surprised if the screen-on delay really has a residual effect after leaving the nightlies. I haven't noticed this myself.

I'm curious about the small number of users that use CM on GSM networks, and whether the RIL changes have any problematic effects there. Verizon users in the U.S. should see more reliable hand-offs between LTE and 3G networks.

The RIL that was submitted to the official CM repo has one small improvement over the RIL in mdm05: correct reporting of SID and NID values for CDMA networks. As far as I can tell, these values are inconsequential for practical use of the phone, and only result in the carrier being misidentified as AT&T instead of Verizon in some apps, e.g. SignalCheck Lite. If I can think of at least one other little modification worth making to the mdm releases, I'll put out mdm06 with the correction to RIL.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
i wonder why the mdm05 works better than the nightlys that i have been running. when going from an area that has no signal to signal i have to toggle radio so i can get internet connection back. with mdm05 it just connects. do you think this might be kernel related. 3.0 vs 3.4 ?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
[MENTION=4258433]mdmower[/MENTION]

Also curious: my data usage stats are messed up. The actual date is messed up, it always states June as the month.

http://db.tt/x8xAx5nM

Is this issue only with me? Also regarding that, besides the date issue, should the MDM builds be calculating data usage correctly or is it still busted from that bug a while back?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
The first nightly with the new RIL class is 20130812. Have you tried this or newer?

The date period is correct on my phone (mdm05).

Did you manually set the date or time-zone? Or is your phone set to obtain this info automatically? (Settings > Data & time)

Can you select a more recent date period from the drop down box in the Data usage page?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
i have not, i will have to do this tonight. thanks for the reply.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
I had the phone set to obtain this info automatically. Changing the date period didn't help, because it only changes the day, not the month, so no matter what I chose It would always be June of that date.

Anyway, I reset it by deleting files in /data/system/netstats

It now correctly reports August, so here's to hoping it moves on to September when the time comes instead of being stuck on August now.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
So running the 8/13 nightly, trying to edit the lpa decode=false with root explorer to test audio and the build prop isnt saving despite telling it to save and exit. anyone have any idea why this isnt working? on mdm versions i could use this method to change the lpa line but it doesnt work on the nightly.

EDIT: got the adb method from post 3 to work for it, still dont understand why it wouldnt work with root explorer like before.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] donkeykong0:
I am still having trouble switching between 3g and LTE after restoring the radio as in in post3.

is it possible that I have the wrong network setting? I'm on Verizon in the US and the default has all 5 modes (LTE/wcdma/cdma/evdo/gsm) selected. which should I use?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Assuming you're using either the latest nightly, or an mdm build:

Network mode = LTE/CDMA/EvDo

CDMA subscription = RUIM/SIM

The hand-off is not fast, but it should eventually go automatically between the two network types.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Report on the 8/13 nightly I tested.

Clean install. First problem was waiting for activation screen. Required a reboot to get past. 4g loaded fine and seemed to work well, including switching between 3g. Could not detect screen flicker. I loaded chrome and tried looking for it on the gray background and didn't notice anything. The 2 info bubbles that you get when you first run the app were flickering up and down quickly but I don't think that's the flicker you were all referring to.

Camera crashed when using flash. Focus didn't work either, well it had a focus but really only for a fixed point it seemed. That was for both camera and video. No close up focus.

Lpa decode= false worked once I could charge it using adb. See previous post about that issue. Not sure what the problem was. I did have audio problems tho. While playing music, I'd get skipping and frequent pauses even while doing nothing else on the phone. Also when using earbuds with mic and pause/skip function built in, those features no longer worked like they do in mdm builds. Pause and skip functions worked fine over Bluetooth tho.

I also had terrible battery life for some reason. Battery life seemed to go fast but the strangest part was charging took a lot longer than on previous builds. One thing this phone boasts for me is a rapid charge ability, but on the nightly, if I streamed music in my car while driving and charging at same time, I barely maintained a charge whereas with previous builds, I could increase my charge on a 30 min drive by at least 15-20% using the same streaming app.

I also had strange random reboots where it would put me in a bootloop requiring a battery pull and restart to get up and running again. Or it would bootloop maybe 3-4 times before the phone would load to home.

I believe there were other issues I ran into but can't recall at this time. If I can remember I'll edit this post.

I ran 13 for a day no problems. I am on 16 now.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] scottyb96:
Running cm-10.2-20130816-UNOFFICIAL-fireball.zip.

1) Battery drain seems faster than mdm5, no proof.

2) Display wakens slower than mdm5, slightly noticeable, but probably not a huge annoyance.

3) I have Home Button-Long Press action mapped to Open/Close menu, but it still goes to Recent apps switcher.

4) The camera seems to be working well, especially using the built-in Focal app.

5) No screen flicker noticeable
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
Testing the latest nightly 0821...

The delayed screen on is still there and the camera still takes a bluish white photo with the flash. Without the flash the pics are fine. I had a couple of problems with some apps but clearing the data on them solved it. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the latest gapps (0812) but its fixed now anyway. I haven't had a chance to test phone calls yet but BT, WiFi and 4g are working fine. Honestly other than for the camera flash bug I could run this as my daily driver I think.

One thing I did notice was that the default for network settings was 'system select on home' and 'cdma subscription on NV'. Network mode itself was fine, set on lte/cdma/evdo/gsm/wcdma. I'm gonna run this for awhile and will report back if anything else comes up.

Edit: okay, phone calls wigged out a bit. The screen couldn't decide whether it should be on or off and my battery heated up pretty badly. When I finally hung up the phone it locked up and then I got the msg that the process stopped working. After a few mins the phone cooled down and returned to normal.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ILikeBubbles:
Well, MDMower, it is the opinion of this soldier that you are the sole reason the HTC Droid Incredible 4G is so awesome. :) thank you very much for all of your hard work! i was going to pm you because this is a bit public for an unrelated post but c'est la vie. Yesterday i ordered the HTC One but i will be missing you all. :) I hope you realize that this community is so friendly and educational with very few judgemental parties... i have stumbled into an incredible group in this particular thread and i hope something phenomenal happens to you all today. Maybe i'll see a couple of you in the One thread.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
Couldn't have said it better myself! Hope to see you in the One community in the near future, if I can ever make my mind up!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Thanks ILikeBubbles, though there are some that would disagree with your analysis... if only I could remember who deir names are. h8rift is not-so-subtly nudging me to get the HTC One for Verizon, so I'll likely end up over there -- though I'm almost certain that VZW will force HTC's hand in keeping the bootloader locked down. This post comes to mind. I will retain this phone for development purposes, but I'm at the mercy of HTC and Verizon when it comes to attaining 100% device functionality (shameless plea for help incoming... "We need jellybean camera props! and some new mipi panel parameters for the kernel! please help us HTC!"). At least those users not affected by the flicker bug can enjoy most of what Android 4.3 has to offer - builds are starting to stabilize.

Yeah, my bro just picked up the HTC ONE from att and all I could say was wow! I unlocked and rooted it with no trouble and slapped ViperOne on it in a heartbeat. Its super fast and super customizable now. It has me thinking about trading up also now but I do still love my fireball! ;)

Hmmm...would these 10.2 builds be stable as a daily driver?

Thanks again for all of your hard work!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Would the HBOOT matter as far as the flickering goes? Didn't those of us who used DirtyRacun S-OFF flash a non-stock HBOOT? Just throwing random ideas out there...not even really sure what the HBOOT does...something just reminded me of it and it got me thinking...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] vazersecurity:
I am using a custom HBOOT and am not seeing the flickering at all.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Magister2k7:
Hboot is not related to flickering, as using DirtyRacoon Hboot with stock firmware does not show any flickering.

But with CM my phone sometines flickers, but only for 1-2 minutes after screen on, then flickering goes away.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
around what cm build did the flickering start?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
any build 0616 or later, except the unofficial mdm builds.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Neo:
You're absolutely correct. We had the same issue with the HTC Rezound (vigor). This was solved for us by switching to SEMC's display-legacy and media-legacy. I have actually built the fireball yesterday with my own revisions and such and one of those changes is just that. However, I do not own this device so I can't confirm if it worked or not :) If you'd like to flash and test it, let me know.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
I'll give it a shot later tonight if you can post a download link.

I would do the same if its cool neo.

Wow Neo, I thought I was out of the reach of your sweet lovin' here. Thanks for helping out! I can give it a try tomorrow.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Mr. Boom:
Well I have been running the next to last nightly since it was put up and apart from camera flash it super fast. No flicker. I was getting about four hours of screen on time with this. Best I have ever gotten. Once the flash is fixed it will be a daily driver for me. Good job!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
I've download and attempted to run the latest unofficial 829 rom. I can't get by the initial set up screens because the android keyboard fails to run. Anyone else have the same issue?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] lwinstead:
Yep, I'm also running into the same problem, TJ. Fresh install from Viper and on the setup screens the keyboard barely blips up a crash message before disappearing. I had to touch the input field a number of times before I understood the message.

Apparently this is solved by installing the Gapps appropriate to this CM version. For me, however, that results in the phone not getting past the "Waiting for network..." screen. It times out like before, but when I tap on "SKIP" it just repeats the process.

I'm beginning to see why there are warnings about the nightly builds...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
[MENTION=2781423]tj13[/MENTION]

works just fine on mine. are you using a different gapps package or perhaps one that is meant for an older version of android?

I'm using jb-20130301. Is there a newer one?

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

Ahh there is a newer one.

I downloaded the one for 4.3. Now I'm stuck in a loop. I can't get by the activation screen. It just times out an loops back to the beginning.

Ok, I just got by the loop, All I did was unplug the usb cable to my computer.

I had the same loop issue. I unplugged the USB cable to my computer and it work as it should. Very strange.

This should make the 50% of you that can run 10.2 builds happy:

Try out the camera in build 20130901. Touch to focus and flash should both be working now. This is thanks to 1) evita 4.2.2 kernel source drop, 2) native 4.2 camera props from a new evita stock release, and 3) most importantly, the tireless efforts of intervigil to merge it all.

If testing cm-10.2, be sure you are running the corresponding gapps for 10.2: link
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Mr. Boom:
What is required to run this 10.2 you speak of? I am s-off and have been running 10.1 successfully. Is it a simple flash over, or is a clean wipe needed?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
always clean wipe. you can report on bugs if you do not do so
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Pretty stable this latest build. Thank you MDM.

Only "bug" so far can be avoided.

Settings > about phone > "SELinux status" click that rapidly like the easter eggs. It will freeze the phone requiring a battery pull.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cyberkeeper1:
So after a long awaited time frame of no camera focus, we finally get it?? How awesome! Thanks to everyone who made that possible.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
SELinux is definitely still a work in progress, but I actually don't think this is related. It's not enforced in our kernel currently, so this must be a UI bug, or perhaps there are calls to selinux-specific functions which don't exist (yet).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
10.2 is still a work in progress, and the differences between android 4.2 and 4.3 are just significant enough that I'd be weary of recommending an upgrade from 10.1 A full wipe is in order. With that said, be sure to backup your 10.1 image... you're going to want something reliable to fall back on.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Mr. Boom:
Perfect. Thank you.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
weird bug what made you want to rapidly press press that?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Easter eggs like if you do that on the android number or the cm 10 build number.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Camera works great. Flash and its dark.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
You guys rock mdmower!! :good: Many Thanks to you, intervigil and everyone else who is involved with working on our phone!!

Running the 0901 build.. had a problem getting signal at first, rebooted and all is fine. Everything is fast and smooth. I'm lovin the little 4.3 extras they threw in there too. The camera works great now just as synisterwolf has pointed out and now when I sync with my car via BT it displays the song, artist and album with my music and Pandora. Since it already displays calls and texts that makes it fully functional which is sweet. The only bug I still have is the delayed screen on thing but who really cares about that?

I can finally run 4.3 as my daily driver!! :highfive:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Music artist is displayed on car's screen with newest nightly over Bluetooth?! Been waiting for this and it might just get me to switch to nightlies

Also, does focus work for video as well as camera or just cam?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
It worked like a charm with Pandora on my ride home this morning and I just tested video for ya. It focuses fine and zooms in and out just as well. I didn't get any blur at all. It didn't even try to refocus once. Just a clear pic the whole time. If you don't get the screen flickering problem then I would definitely recommend flashing the 0901 build. Mdmower has outdone himself again!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
well i just tested it with my car and it doesnt work. if i toggle to the standard bluetooth source, i dont get any song or artist info running either apollo or google music. strange thing tho is when i use the pandora source or the aha source all info works fine. there must be some type of info transfer code either in the apps or something else that pulls or pushes mp3 info. unfortunately it doesnt work with my car yet. funny thing tho is on my old inc 2 running gb everything works in my car perfectly.

also im thinking the nightlies dont know the difference between headphones and a headset. with my headset i can control audio and pause, and also activate voice dialing. with the 9/1 nightly that still isnt working.

camera and video focus seem to work fine. only thing i notice is that the resolution of the screen while taking a pic is very poor. when you actually look at the pic tho, its a much better quality.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Cyanogen has some patches up for review that fix the display-on delay for the HTC One. This gives us a very good idea of where to look for a resolution on our msm8960 devices. So, this will likely be squashed soon too.

I'm worried that readers without the full context of the conversation will misunderstand "nightlies" to refer to the official builds on get.cm. The cm-10.2 builds are not at nightly status yet, so maybe they deserve a different name, like "fireball-breakers". I'll let you guys figure out what to call 'em, but I'd appreciate if you make it apparent as to which build you're reporting test results.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
Sorry to hear it. I have a 2013 Honda civic and both Apollo and Pandora show all song info now.

h8rift decided it was time to consolidate IRC device channels (fireball never had one due to its small user base). I just added this to the first post:

Getting help

There is an IRC chat room on freenode.net where you can speak with other HTC s4 and m7 users: #cm-htc. There's usually a device maintainer around as well. For reference, the fireball is an s4 device in the same league as jewel (EVO 4G LTE), ville (One S), and evita (One XL), and these are all based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 processor. The various HTC One models for different carriers fall under the m7 name and use a similar but more advanced processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor. The device maintainers on s4 phones are: jewel=deck, evita=h8rift/rohan32, ville=intervigil, fireball=mdmower.
