i did not ask for it to be free or anything. i just asked you to explain exactly what changes your mod includes. i did not ask this rudely, formulated my questions carefully and precise and i expect to be treated the same. to appreciate your work, i first need to know what you have done. if you can't include a decent changelog and description in your post you will have to endure questions like this. there is way too many ripoffs going on. glad to know that you are sincere about developing and not trying to make easy bucks with other peoples work. that's all i wanted to know. still, i have not received any further emails regarding updates on the rom.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
My Gsm mod is included in the Lite version; A full changelog about this would be very hard to do but you can download the Lite version, you can de-compile every apk and baksmali every classes and you can check the differences with original files so you can see that I'm not using the work of others, since you're suggesting this; the build.prop file too i have edited by me in a different way from other. Do you think that in the next update I will edit these files yet beacause I have more to change.

About locales and languages I hope you have nothing to say.

About email notification i do not know when you submitted your email address so i do not know if i sent any notification after your submission but you can see if my emails have been marked as spam by your provider.
[Motorola Droid 4] xnopasaranx:
i am not insinuating anything. read my post again. i said i am glad, that you are sincere about developing and that your are NOT trying to make money off of other peoples work. i am gonna stop posting now, apparently noone has any concerns with this but me and since i am only getting hostility for honest criticism, i am out. i was suggesting you release a proper changelog to save yourself further trouble...

hello,

I am happy droid posseceur of 4 since yesterday. I wish I could put it in French and I think think I am across this rom.

As beginner can you tell me what are the steps a éffectuer. My phone is actuelement in android 4.1.2.

Can you explain the procedures to follow.

Thank you in advance
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
As I answered you by email you have to root it, then you have to install SafeStrap and then you have to install the rom.
[Motorola Droid 4] skyss07:
I use the lite version of your rom running JB 4.1.2, my concern is there any major changes between the lite and the full version.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
I have already answered in previous posts. You can also read this in the readme file.
[Motorola Droid 4] rohithathie:
hi there, I installed the lite version on my droid, but it seems to have lower network signal now.. can't see the improvement of that...

can I reverse the network signals upgrade??

The rest is awesome!! thnx for that!!
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Impossible, you can try to do a factory reset.
[Motorola Droid 4] rohithathie:
it's working now 2 stripes less.. but better than yesterday!

google play services crashed 2 times today, and the Phone was 1 time really slow in responding.. had to reboot.. but now works fine!
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Did you do the factory reset?
[Motorola Droid 4] sydfab:
Ciao, scusa..added 450 MB in ram at clean system significa che utilizzando un qualunque task killer, anzichè rilevarmi i canonici 200 MB ca. free, me ne da 450? Grazide in anticipo =)
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Yes, you will have approximately 450 mb of free ram instead of 200 mb, but at clean system, so after a factory reset without third apps installed.
[Motorola Droid 4] sydfab:
Thank you
[Motorola Droid 4] rohithathie:
No, my Phone is 1 week old, not much apps installed yet..

For JB there was another GSM Patch made for the Maserati...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36307830&postcount=6
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
So you have to do a factory reset to correctly use gsm settings.

With this rom is not necessary to use any GSM patches. By the way I looked at the patch that you linked and it is an old and unstable patch. If you need a GSM patch for others roms you have to use this.
[Motorola Droid 4] milkboy007:
your rom or script has made my phone's setting and status bar disapprear.

i am on a rooted stocked rom, with safetrap 3.11.

just did a factory reset from safetrap, but problem still persist.

could you look into it.

on a side note, i was wondering where is the full rom?

Update: just tried opening google play, and it seems that google account manager wasnt there either.

and so is changing the wallpaper. my phone wall paper is now just a blank black screen.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
This is a full working and stable rom, I can not know what you did. You can restore the phone with the fastboot file.

Anyway what is your stock rom version and what is the version of my rom that you installed?
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
The Rom has been updated.

I want this rom odexed so for now I can not add %1 and i can not add toggles in JB version.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:

[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
build.prop completely rewritten for better GSM support, feedbacks are appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 4] Matt17000:
Hi,

I've just try to update my droid to 2.7 from 2.6 and it's stuck at the droid bootup screen....

What can i do ? Don't tell me full wipe...

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Holly Sh*t.... Just flashed the ics.zip on my JB rom..... I'll try to reflash the good .zip

Hope it works...
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
I think that you installed wrong version, you can try to reinstall the correct jb version. To restore your phone you have to install a nandroid backup without wipe.

#postedit

The installer has been updated, now it checks if you are installing the correct version on the stock rom to avoid soft bricks due to distraction.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
The rom has been updated.

I removed the Global Network popup and I have corrected other GSM settings.

This should be the latest version.

Feedbacks are appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
If you downloaded the latest version please re-download it, I uploaded a wrong version, sorry for my mistake.
[Motorola Droid 4] rohithathie:
My Mobile Hotspot app isn't working yet... how to fix this??

if i enable the hotspot nothing happens... when i go back to the homescreen and re-open mobile hotspot app it has been automatically disabled..

i have installed the latest rom update on the stock rom. using it in the Netherlands with Telfort APN
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
You have to do a factory reset.
[Motorola Droid 4] zadops:
I have the same problem, my tethering does not work at all, even I do factory reset my phone
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Because you're also making the same mistake!!!

You have to do a factory reset and you do not have to restore any system setting.
[Motorola Droid 4] zadops:
I DO factory reset my phone after install the patch, Mentor
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Well then can you explain a little better what the problem is?

- What is your stock rom version?

- What is my rom version?

- Do you have hotspot FC?

- Can you enable hotspot?

- What is the patch that you are talking about?

The hotspot is normally working so if you are having problems you have to explain me what does it mean that the hotspot does not work for you.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
The rom has been updated and it is now compatible with OTA 9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-8.

In the last version I added in testing these new locales: ar iw ru tr zh-rCN zh-rTW.

#Postedit:

For now there are problems only with ar and iw; I will solve the problem in the next days.
[Motorola Droid 4] trancephorm:
Installing on phone which is already Cyanogen 10.2.1

I understand this is just the update to stock rom, and I have no problems with it, but what is the procedure for installation if I already installed CM 10.2.1?

I guess I must downgrade to stock rom, but how... I have even saw something like you just can't downgrade your phone easily...

Thanks for great effort!
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
You have to reinstall the stock rom and then you can install this update. To reinstall the stock rom you can use your nandroid backup or the fastboot file.

You can't downgrade from Stokc JB to Stock ICS because the xt894 has the bootloader locked so you can not downgrade the kernel but the cm uses a kexec kernel, the real kernel has not been touched so you can simply reinstall the stock rom without any problem.
[Motorola Droid 4] trancephorm:
thanks a lot for your fast reply! will try that...
[Motorola Droid 4] trancephorm:
Downgrading went more or less pretty smooth... This seems to be clean and functional update of stock rom, still I miss some features, but it's far less buggy, and way faster than CM 10.2.1 I think it will stay on my phone, thanks for great work!
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
The rom has been updated and now I solved every problem with the new locales.
[Motorola Droid 4] trancephorm:
seems like mobile hotspot feature is not working or am i doing something wrong? other than that everything is looki g pretty much smooth except maybe that searching for gps data lasts at least 5 mins
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Did you do the factory reset after installing my rom?
[Motorola Droid 4] trancephorm:
Huh... I did not... Since I already setuped my phone, is it possible that tethering works out somehow without factory reset?
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
There should be an hack, you can find it on xda.
[Motorola Droid 4] trancephorm:

I will try doing this in my next free time.
[Motorola Droid 4] kowal999:
before the verizon updates i have been working on 9.8.2O-72_VZW-18_1 stock rom with Your update, everything was fine. After update to 9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-8 rom, procesing all procedure (root, safestrap 3.65, install Your latest update) i have no polish language :/ New laguages are on the list but after selecting them there is nothing change. Have you some idea whats wrong? I have already done factory reset and still the same.
[Motorola Droid 4] sergsinger:
Do you use Multilocal version? Probably Polish now is in the Multilanguage version.
[Motorola Droid 4] kowal999:
I've installed this version on stock rom mentors_rom_maserati_jb_gsm_multilocale from 07.02.2014
[Motorola Droid 4] sergsinger:
Mentor.37, hello :) Two weeks passes by from the last update of the Multilanguage version... When we can see the update with fixes and improvements?
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
In this version there is no translation, I removed every Verizon lock, I optimized the GSM\UMTS and I only added new locales. More than in the translation I have focused on the full usability of the phone and in fact everything works.

If you select polish locale every application with polish locale available will align with it.

This is the changelog:

- Added full GSM support

- Added these locales: ar da de el en_GB en_US es es_US fi fr_FR fr_CA it iw nb nl pl pt ru sv tr zh-rCN zh-rTW

- Removed all Verizon app

- Removed all Verizon lib

- Removed Verizon locked bookmarks

- Removed all Verizon frameworks

- Removed all Verizon services

- Removed all preinstalled app

- Removed motorola's spyware bugtogo

- Removed Global Network popup

- Added APNs for new locales

- Added initial Setup non Verizon

- Enabled Call Forwarding outside Verizon network

- Enabled USSD codes

- Solved MMS problem

- Enabled HotSpot in GSM for non Verizon users

- Enabled aGPS for non Verizon users

- Enabled OBEX bluetooth profile

- Enabled led in charching

- Enabled SIM Toolkit

You can read the README file for more info.

I'm sorry but for now I'm very busy.

I will try adding hungarian locale and I will release a new version the next week, for now the rom seem to me to be stable. What fixes do you need?

Anyway this thread is only for multilocale version, for multilanguage version you can write on my site that I check more often.
[Motorola Droid 4] kowal999:
sorry for bother, now I see the difference betwen multilocale and multilanguage :) I appreciate Your work in the project so I have just now make You donation via paypal :)
[Motorola Droid 4] fathermocker:
I found a bug : when I charged my phone after installing this patch, after unplugging it the led light got stuck with green, and the charging icon in the notifications bar would be stuck too. After I locked and unlocked it, it started working again.

Enviado desde mi DROID4 con Tapatalk 4
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Well, did you do the factory reset after installing my rom?
[Motorola Droid 4] fathermocker:
No. Should I have? Anyway, the bug doesn't bother me but it might affect even those who did factory reset their phones, just a heads-up.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
This is the last time that I answer to a stupid question as this, before asking you have to read.

There is a detailed main thread for a reason.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
The rom has been updated and it is now compatible with OTA 9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-9.
[Motorola Droid 4] sergsinger:
As I know, OTA 18-9 is the same as 18-8, am I right? And there are no new features in your ROM?
[Motorola Droid 4] fathermocker:
You don't have to be such a ****, I'm trying to report a possible bug. You're welcome.

Enviado desde mi DROID4 con Tapatalk 4
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
In the last update has only been implemented the compatibility with the ota 18-9 and yes the ota 18-9 is the same as 18-8.

Bug reports are welcome but before reporting inexistent bug you have to read how to correctly install the rom and everything is clearly written in the main post.

The *** is not me, I'm just annoyed of repeating the same thing.

HDMI?

G'day from Aus,

A quick q: I understand that this is based off the stock ROM, does this mean that HDMI works? Apologies if this was stated previously, I couldn't see it on the website, the OP or in the thread.

Yes, in this rom everything is working, including th HDMI.

Czech language support

Hi Mentor,

I use your ROM (or better say "scripts which can make official rom usable with GSM SIMs") and can really say that you did a great job!

Do you think is there a way (not so much time consuming) how to implement Czech language? I have already few colleagues around me which use Droid 4 and we would really appreciate Czech language :)

Or could I somehow help you with including Czech localization?

Thank you in advance!

Have a nice rest of the day!
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
I tried in the past to adding hungarian and czech languages but with no luck. I'm sorry.
[Motorola Droid 4] pechy87:
No problem - I was just curious.

I really appreciate all the work you already did!

Best Regards
[Motorola Droid 4] X_Files:
I'm using app More Locale 2, it works well and I can set Czech language, but some original application just don't support czech language.
[Motorola Droid 4] pechy87:
Thanks, X_Files

It partially solves the issue. Most of applications support Czech.

I tried that before with factory restored phone (without any application installed) - I saw everything in English (since the built-in apps don't support CZ) and thought it is not working.

Best Regards!
[Motorola Droid 4] Cyber-Logic:
Works Perfectly

Excellent work, works perfectly, and now USSD codes are working for me.

One question: Is it possible to not remove Verizon Backup Assistant while installing the ROM? All my phone contacts are stored under Verizon Bakup Assistant, and it goes away after installing the new ROM. Is there a way to skip it?
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
No, I'm sorry. I should re-add a lot of verizon component useless for gsm users.

You can export yours contacts and import them after installing the new rom.
[Motorola Droid 4] Bloody Baron:
I have followed your instructions But, after installed Zip file (via Safestrap), i did Wipe Data/cache/system. WHen it's done, my phone can not startup. What must i do now? :crying:
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Are you in bootloop? What is the version of your stock rom?

Have you restored some backup?

Anyway you can restore your phone with a fastboot image.
[Motorola Droid 4] Bloody Baron:
Thanks for responding. I've tried with this guide. It helps. Phew!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2211008
[Motorola Droid 4] ViperRunner:
Hi Bloody Baron,

The problem is that you wiped the system folder, i think that one shouldn't be wiped except when installing a complete rom. When you wipe that folder you're wiping the OS.

Normaly for a reset you should only wipe the dalvik, data and cache folders.

Install a new complete stock rom to fix that issue, and then install the mentor's zip file WITHOUT signature verification.

Or you can let it start and do it's things and after all is done, reboot to recovery and then reinstall the mentor's zip file WITHOUT signature verification.

I hope i have helped in anyway!

Best regards

Demanding an email address to download rom is super low budget and poor practice. Creating a spam list?

You should be banned from site as far as I'm concerned.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
I'm not creating any spam list, I'm using the email addresses only to notifying the new updates and to avoid the band of my site to be consumed quickly.

I'm working on the Motorola Droid 4 from more than an year and I made for it:

- this rom

- the gsm patch

- the bmm patch

- the minimal gapps

I started to working on it for me because I'm using this phone on GSM and I made available ​​my work to everyone.

Without me and my work you could not use your phone on GSM as you are doing and I should be banned from xda?

As far as I'm concerned should be banned users that use xda only to download other people's work without thanks or comment.
[Motorola Droid 4] lautunno:

If someone is having a problem with the hotspot the solution is a factory reset from the phone and not form SafeStrap.

[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
From the main post:

- After installing the Rom you can uninstall Safestrap and have a full working stock rom for GSM/UMTS in your locale

You will not have any issue, you have to disable the recovery and then you can uninstall safestrap.
[Motorola Droid 4] MasterPrenium:
Hello Mentor,

First of all, thanks for your job !

I'm also having the hotspot problem. I read your website, and saw that's the fault of SafeStrap.

So I made a full factory reset using the recovery menu, but the problem is still the same, phone is hanging on "Turning Mobile Hotspot on ...".

I made some several reset/ re-install ect ... no luck :(

Versions :

System version : 98.72.188.XT894.GSM.en.EU

Baseband : N_05.25.00R

Build Number : Mentor's Rom - Multilocale (9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-9).

Note 1 : the wifi tethering is correctly working on CM11 rom...

Note 2 : it's possible that the mobile hotspot from Mentor's rom stopped working after I used this function on CM11 (I didn't tried it again after tried CM11).

Note 3 : I'm using the French locale (just in case it could have an impact).

Do you have any idea ?

EDIT : I also noticed that the usb tethering is "grayed" with message "Can't tether when Wifi is ON" (While Wifi is off of course).
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
After installing my rom you can do the factory reset in this way:

- disable SafeStrap

- uninstall SafeStrap

- factory reset from the phone

#Postedit

Main post updated.
[Motorola Droid 4] MasterPrenium:
The problem remains ...

I made some "debug" by my side.

I run adb shell during the "turning on".

Running iwconfig, I saw that the wifi interface, change name from wlan0 to wlan1, then again to wlan0 (it seems the name change several time).

Maybe it's during the hostapd startup ("Passing through hijack: /system//.bin /system/bin/hostapd -dd /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf" : in dmesg).

Note that if I run "/system/bin/hostapd -dd /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf" manually, hostapd claim about it needed a write access (in the path I was), after going in a path with write access, it starts correctly (I can see the AP using a computer or phone ect...).

Note also that during the startup process of the "Mobile Hotspot", there's a message happening in dmesg "init: cannot find '/system/bin/initial_regdom.sh', disabling 'initial_regdom'". I don't know if it's relevant.

Also /system//.bin doesn't exist ...
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
The problem is a data conflict due to a wrong factory reset.

Could you dell me, step by step, how did you do the last factory reset?
[Motorola Droid 4] MasterPrenium:
I re-installed your rom using SafeStrap, then reboot in recovery and use factory reset.

Then I booted the phone, setted it up, reinstalled safestrap 3.73 apk.

Go into SafeStrap, use uninstall recovery.

Rebooted the phone to check safestrap is removed.

Rebooted again in recovery, and use "wipe data/factory reset", it formatted /data & /cache.

Reboot again, setup phone with my google account ect ...

And the mobile hotspot is still not working.

Please note that the mobile data connection is working well...

Is there any way to manually format the partition mounted on /data ?

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

I did again a factory reset and the mobile hotspot is working.

I also noticed that there is a conflict with safestrap. If SafeStrap is installed in recovery, the mobile hotspot will not work.

If we remove SafeStrap from recovery (don't need to remove the apk), then the mobile hotspot is working again. No need to re-format /data ! ;)

I don't really need SS but sometime I like to switch to CM11, and check new features...

Maybe this notice of conflict with SS will help you find some fix :cowboy:
