Hi,

as I'm currently in the process of getting my changes upstream into cm-11, it would be great if you could test then camera in todays build (2014-01-13).

It should work in camera and camcorder mode (in 1080p/720p/480p on the main camera, in 720p/480p on the front camera) and should not crash (even when saving a video and generating thumbnails).

I would be very happy if the camera is stable, because then I no longer have to look at the horror that is (TI enhanced) domx and its dependencies.

Thanks,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] xantanion:
I will download and get to testing
[Motorola Droid 4] Craptorman:
FYI, just did a build for spyder with your latest commits. The camera is working great! Thanks for your work.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Nice :)

So should I submit the change to device/motorola/spyder/media_profiles.xml when I get the omap4-common and maserati changes merged or do you want to do that? And is umts_spyder equivalent in this regard?

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Craptorman:
You can if you would like. Not sure I have figured the submit thing out yet. Also won't be around my build machine until this weekend. I believe umts_spyder would be the same.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
push it, so I can rebase 3.0.101

Thanks !

does anyone else have a problem when switching between calls on the newest build it wont let me switch between calls at all
[Motorola Droid 4] YeeP:
All seems to be working well. However, I cannot edit the APNs. I am having the typical "Cannot send or receive MMS" problem that I did with CM 10.1.3.

The funny part is, before I installed the gapps linked by the OP in post #1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942) it was using whatever is written in the CM Mod, then changed to Hangout... I could send MMS images before Hangout. I have seen a lot of posts saying the opposite, so I have no idea why.

I spent most of yesterday tracking down APN setups to get the MMS portion to work, even mimicked my wife's phone(non modified) and still had no luck.

Anyway, I really am curious as to why I cannot modify the APNs. The link is greyed out.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] xantanion:
Tested and played around with the camera and video, all seems to be well
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Great that it works :)

Ok, changes pushed. Hash is now building a test-build and if all goes well he will push the changes to the repositories (including the kernel-changes which are not in gerrit).

This will enable HD recording on maserati, spyder and umts_spyder.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Sorry, can't really help with the MMS stuff, as I am in GSM land...

Regarding the non-editable APNs: Are you using my builds or the official nightlies?

Mine still have the patch enabling APN-config on CDMA networks, so the option should not be greyed out.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] YeeP:
Yes, your build... Do you think there is a setting to allow access to the APNs? it is very strange that mine is greyed out. I obviously have it rooted. Maybe I should just delete this rom slot and try another install.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
mine is working fine I can change apns with no problem
[Motorola Droid 4] YeeP:
this is what I see....
[Motorola Droid 4] xantanion:
Here's mine, I have access to everything
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Developer settings option enabled?
[Motorola Droid 4] YeeP:
Yes, it is.

Maybe I should just re-flash the rom..... What order and which wipes do you guys like to do before flashing a new ROM?

I really like how quick this rom is, that was my main complaint with the factory setup. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I would try wiping system, cache, and dalvik cache. Then flash the ROM and gapps. If that doesn't work than try wiping data as well. Wouldn't think anything in data would be causing your issue though.
[Motorola Droid 4] YeeP:
You got it, I will do that this morning. Worth a try right?

Side note:

Anyone running Verizon service that has been able to get over this widespread MMS receive and send issue? I ended up downloading the Verizon message app to get past it.... Not my favorite choice.

Ill give it a shot. His server is apparently down right now when you go to the download. At least, that is what google told me on the italian to english translation....
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
No, you're on CDMA. Don't flash the GSM patch!
[Motorola Droid 4] YeeP:
OK, I was wondering about that. Its funny how many posts you can find online with people having this same issue and it being blamed on the APN setup. I have a factory phone sitting right next to mine, that I can copy all settings from. This makes no progress in getting the MMS to work. Anyway, I will go ahead and reflash this rom to get started.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
The camera seems to work well, and does HD video...yay! I have had more instances of the phone not responding when I try to wake it, and all that happens is the hardware keys light up, but the screen does not wake. on 1/14 now, and hopefully it's better, but that issue is still frustrating when it happens since I have to fully reboot to get it back on. Any way you could modify the camera to save to SD card when present or to show the proper 4:3 preview rather than zooming in and showing a crop of the actual full-frame?
[Motorola Droid 4] kburt8:
The difficulty waking the phone is my biggest issue with the ROM so far. Once running it is very smooth, but often it takes 4 or 5 times of pressing the power button before the lock screen will appear (or worse, I have to fully reboot as the above user mentions).
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Agreed, it's the single most annoying thing, besides the screwy battery stats. Any suggestions as to how we can help root out the cause for either?
[Motorola Droid 4] sergsinger:
Is it normally? 15% of battery was gone in 5 hours of flight mode?

I remember KitKat builds, which take about 2% of battery for the night (about 8 hours or even longer).
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed crazy battery drain on my Droid 4 with this ROM. I'm trying to nail the culprit down with Better Battery Stats [you can find it on XDA or the play store]; so far I've discovered that the kernel wakelock suspend_backoff was what was causing my high usage [5 - 7% per hour!] by keeping the phone in the Awake state, rather than Deep Sleep. The research I have done suggests that if I'd checked the battery usage, the wakelock would have showed up as "Android OS".

I've changed my WiFi settings to keep WiFi on when asleep only while the phone is charging, which seems to have helped after I uninstalled Viber, Stalkbook, etc. My phone now attains Deep Sleep most of the time, and I see drain around 2% per hour with light usage.

Hope that gives you somewhere to start. Stargo et al, is there any chance this is a driver issue?
[Motorola Droid 4] xantanion:
I was beginning to do my own research as I too have noticed that android os seems to be my biggest battery hog. By % it normally ends up using around 25% of my battery if not more
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
Any chance OTG modules work on our device with CM11?
[Motorola Droid 4] sergsinger:
Working OTG doesn't depend on CM version, it depends of hardware.

I try this, but not flash, it is broken in Safestrap

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974362
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I just commited changes to the display-driver to the kernel, which might fix the wakeup problem. As I can't readily reproduce it, I need your input if this fixed it. The changes will be included in the next nightly.

If this does not fix it, it would be great if you could try to get a dump of the kernel message-buffer by running "adb shell dmesg" when the device is in the broken state (if it is still accessible via adb at that point).

Yes, a long time in suspend_backoff is caused by a bug in the usb host driver (for the wrigley LTE modem) or the power-management logic handling the usb stuff (HSUSBHOST is stuck in idlest=TRANSITION). I'm still trying to find out, what exactly triggers this, but once it happens you can currently only get your device to deep sleep again by rebooting.

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] noleng:
Im in Canada on Chatr Wireless. On stock rom Global and CDMA would grey out the APNS, on UMTS/GSM (which is the ONLY option that I can use for my network) it has access to the APN's, as well as being able to modify and or add or delete them also.

But using this AOSP CM11.0 rom, I also have sms/mms issues. I have my proper APN saved and active, I also have Mobile Internet Access working perfectly. But I can only receive Text messages. I can not send whatsoever. And i did attempt to change the network type but nothing helped. I have not installed a new update for a few days. But I thought it was only my issue, and something I did. Now I know it must be something in the rom.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
Is something I do wrong ? for me adb is telling that device is not found, only in recovery is working ok, I've enabled usb debugging.

the drivers are from motorola device manager (w7 x64)

Regards
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
You need a current adb-binary which supports cryptographic authentication and then you need to accept the host-key on the device on first connect.

have you flashed mentor37's GSM patch?
[Motorola Droid 4] kburt8:
When sending an MMS using the built-in messaging app, I am getting the "No APN specified on the device" error message. Is there currently a fix for this?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
If those changes were in today's build (can't be assed to check) then it didn't fix it. I'll check back tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
well seeing how he said it will be included in next nightly and he said it today im guessing it will be in tomorrows
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
When i had problem with wakeup, i used Go Locker and not had more problem. After, froze the cLock and the problem has disappeared using the stock lockscreen. I believe the problem it is associated with cLock and display-driver. Thanks for great work.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Doesn't seem like the wakeup issue is still a problem. Battery life has went to crap again. Any fix or tips?
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Not sure if the change has been merged yet to fix the wake-lock issue, however I have been having more difficulty maintaining a data connection with the 1/16 build today. 1/14 was maybe the best build I've used to date, has anyone had issues installing slightly older builds on top of newer ones?

Also I'm getting the "insufficient storage" error when updating Chrome Beta and Facebook, even if there is plenty of free space everywhere. The only way I've been able to fix this is deleting all data associated with the app or even uninstalling and reinstalling it. Not sure what causes it, but it's not actually anything to do with free space.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I've probably fixed the HSUSBHOST-issue, will be in the 2014-01-17 nightly.

Which wake-lock issue do you mean, the st_wakelock one? My builds have all my fixes (including this one) already merged. You can just install an older build, should be no problem.

Hrm, no idea. Maybe it's not /data but probably the cache-fs? Try looking at how much space you have left in /cache.

EDIT: fixed nightly date, should have noticed that it was 1:00am...

[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
My phone didn't have trouble waking up for any of yesterday, but it acted weird this morning, my alarm went off, but only the vibration, my phone wasn't silenced, and it took 5 minutes for my phone to unfreeze so I could turn my alarm off. Weird. Downloading 1/17/14, hopefully we don't see that wakeup issue anymore! Better battery would rock too!
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Okay, so on the 1/17 build and the wake-up issue has not been an issue. My alarm turned on my screen through multiple snoozes without it ever refusing to wake the screen up after, like sometimes would happen before. That was all I mean when I incorrectly said "wakelock error" I meant the screen waking up issue that I hope is fixed ::knock on wood::

As for the apps refusing to update and claiming "insufficient storage" I've tried wiping the cache on them, and also deleting the apps' data folders and even their apks, but so far the only way I can get them to update is to uninstall and reinstall via the market and then they're fine at least until they decide to break again. Searching around it seems like this has been an Android bug for years...but I blame the apps in a way since it keeps being Chrome, Chrome Beta, and Facebook usually.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
On the Play site of ES File Explorer you can read the following:

I never had this issue myself, but maybe this will help you solve the problem or get you looking in the right places ...
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Starting to think my battery is just a gonner. :(
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Doubtful, two batteries on two phones are giving me trouble, it's partly the ROM, and it IS improving steadily, as Stargo fixes stuff. Battery reporting is screwy, which is the first and foremost problem.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
And you've charged up to 100%, rebooted into recovery, wiped battery stats, rebooted, let it run down entirely until it shuts off at 0%, and then recharged it back up to 100% again and it's still being bad? Is your battery usage graph wonky when you check it after a day's usage? Is anything unusual using up battery or do you see big drops randomly that seem out of place?

You COULD replace the battery if you're really sure it's a bad cell (a quick eBay search found them for like $18 shipped):

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Motorola+Droid+4+Battery+Replacement/12311
[Motorola Droid 4] sergsinger:
bofis, if you read post #442, you may understand, that it is not only the problem with the battery. There are some problems with ROM, which stargo, I wish, will solve.
[Motorola Droid 4] noleng:
I did the verizon stock rom update, so i am starting from scratch..

i will install the latest cm11 nightly, along with gapps and the latest metor37 patch.. will see how it works..

I also did get this pm from Elanzer

The problem is a setting in build.prop that redirects sms you send to verizon.. since you aren't on verizon you're running into this issue like I did.

ro.telephony.gsm-routes-smsc-us = 0

if you change the above setting from 1 to 0, you should be able to send sms.

so i may try this small edit first.

UPDATE - I tried to install cm11, also gapps, and also the patch ** Didnt work proper. i couldnt even setup the wifi to connect proper ** so i dont advise this method unless there is a different patch or revised/updated one. i used cdma_to_gsm_patch_for_verizon_phones_v2.9.4_by_mentor.zip - which was also said to work on all roms.. but it did not work. will post new post in thread to say if the props edit works.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Sounds like a plan =)
[Motorola Droid 4] noleng:
in what regards.. doing the patch.. or build props edit.

its more of a pain not being able to send text messages..

to be honest if you are saying doing the edit manually as opposed to the patch.. at least doing the manual one, you can see and know and control the changes.

oops!! my bad everyone.. . i thought he said "pain"

anyhow.. i will be shortly doing all this. and [MENTION=2284185]Shobai[/MENTION] - let me know the outcome.. i do know for sure that the build prop edit was needed way back even in the verizon rom.. but their latest update does cater a bit for Canadians and i think ti was fixed. i had no issues. though i did do some apk freezing and disabling.. but this is not for this thread. back to kitkat... :)

updated: when i tried to install the patch, it wouldnt let me setup the wifi properly in cm11.. so for now i am just installing cm11, gapps, and will report back if the build prop edit works

Final Update - Conclusion

So after a few tries, I ended up getting the best results using this threads Unofficial Rom from this threads Original Post, and also installed gapps, allowing the phone to reboot, and run the initial setup of CM11, using my wifi (which i knew would work without installing any gsm patch just yet).

I did set up my apn, hoping it may work.. all wifi, mobile data did work. no SMS (at least none outgoing. did not have a chance to get any incoming tests)

(I also did install prop editor and changed the one setting mentioned earlier in a couple posts - though after a reboot - nothing changed with the sms working. It still failed to send out a message)

In a last hope attempt, i rebooted into Safestrap, and installed the patch exactly labeled mentor-verizoncdmatogsmpatch.zip - which i did get also from this threads original post - a link referenced in the first post.

After rebooting - you should be patient, and everything did start to work. the sms was great. but i got anxious with the data being slow, or not really getting a smooth start. But after 5 to 10 minutes, all is working great. (I change which mobile network type once or twice. but i would give it a bit of time. ) If you do change any of the network type settings and hoe to automatic, etc.. always give it some time to become active, and if it doesnt work the way intended even after some patience, then you can try another.. but always give it a bit of time to switch from one to the other)

This is using a droid 4 verizon phone on the chatr network in Canada. I also tested out a Bell Mobility sim and everything also worked as intended including sms, mobile data, and phone.....

FYI: 12/18 nightly broke wifi for me. Would not turn on. Running wifical.sh in terminal fixed it though.

Droid 4 - CM11
[Motorola Droid 4] doener:
For me WIFI works without issues 01/18. But I had broken wifi with yesterdays 01/17
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Apologies, I could have been more clear/verbose. Glad you got it worked out! That's basically the same method I use, although I grabbed the latest patch I could find, from his website - it's linked elsewhere on xda, but I can't remember where.

just to be clear, is that something you had to do only once? (at install, say) Or each time you turn wifi on?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Wifi had worked fine with no issue for me until the most recent nightly. After installing the 1/18 nightly and rebooting, I noticed wifi was off. When trying to turn it on it would just sit there, grayed out, and not turn on. So, having had a similar issue on a couple older CM10.2 builds, I ran wifical.sh in terminal. I only had to do this once. Wifi turns on and off just fine now.

Droid 4 - CM11
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
wifical.sh is called during first bootup of a new flashed ROM. Sometimes this goes wrong and you have to do it manually again. I'm not yet sure why it's failing sometimes.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
thank you both for that info - i'll keep an eye out for it. Just flashed the 0118 via the OTA (it makes life so much easier, thanks!) and had no trouble with the wifi. at least now, if something does go wrong with it I'll have something to try - cheers!

[edit]

was the OP changed? the dates are different to what i remember..
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Yes.

The time I added the changes was after midnight but I still incremented the day by one, which was incorrect (the nightly builds start at 3:42 CET, but it wasn't _that_ late). When I noticed the mistake, I fixed it.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Thanks [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] for your work on this ROM. Probably the smoothest and most bug free AOSP ROM I have run on my D4 yet. You've really been nailing it with the bug fixes! I'm curious, do the changes you make to your builds filter down to the official CM11 builds and repos? I know some other ROMs pull things from there (like Avatar) and wonder if they will pick up the fixes you put in.

Thanks again for all the time you put in on this!
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
I also want to say Thank You to Stargo. I didn't expect to get a solid KitKat rom for the D4 at all. This rocks.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Thanks :)

Yes, I'm pushing the changes to CM gerrit if I think they are ready. There is a "differences" section in the first post which tries to document the current state.

One thing im curious about is the caller display in landscape mode. If I remember correctly it used to show the callers picture on the left side and the red and green answer reject slider on the right side. It hasnt been like that for months and I was curious if that will ever go back to usable?
[Motorola Droid 4] PJroast:
Inconsistency with Hangouts and Texting

I'm using the 1/17 nightly (though I've had this problem for a week or two) and the PA-GAPPS Full Modular 1/17 version.

The problem is that my phone will not automatically receive messages, SMS and Hangout messages, to Hangouts. This is mostly with the Google+ hangout messages sent via wifi/data. I will usually receive messages that have been sent more than 15 minutes ago, and sometimes multiple messages at a time. The only way to manually check for new messages is to turn Airplane mode on/off, which seems to force the app to fetch messages.

Does this sound more like an app problem or a network problem? I'm mostly connected to Wifi while at home, but at school I have good data coverage.

May have fixed this, for some reason when I updated x-days ago, my network mode changed to Global. I set it back to CDMA+LTE/EVDO, so hopefully that will fix it. However, even on WiFi the hangouts are still delayed.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I think I noticed the same issue...I was not receiving SMS or MMS, but data was working fine...went into network mode and it was set to just LTE, but changing it to CDMA+LTE/EVDO seems to have fixed it, and that change carried over when I updated to yesterday's nightly. Maybe I'm crazy, but downloading nightlies from your server seem to go slower within the CM Updater than if I just download it in Firefox on my phone. Sometimes the download fails within the CM Updater, but has no problems in Firefox...either way I've been moving the zip into the cmupdater folder and letting it install it for me so mostly so I don't have to watch for when it's finished installing and tap "reboot."

This ROM is so stable and great on our phones, the only things that really do NOT work are swapping of the SD cards and PictoSphere seems entirely broken as I guess it can't properly see or use our accelerometers?
[Motorola Droid 4] doener:
FYI Bluetooth worked allot better while wifi was broken

FYI While my wifi was down completely without function my Bluetooth connection was allot better. I could use my bluetooth headphones without any stuttering while my phone was in my pocket.

This dosen't work with the working wifi Roms even if WIFI is disabled there. I think there is space for improvements.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
PictoSphere requires a gyroscope, we only have an accelerometer. I was wondering the same thing for a long time.
