Everything was set as suggested with the exception of the preferred network. Mine was set to global. The google server issue fixed itself but I have not been able to send/rcv mms so I will try again now that I have adjusted the setting. Ill keep you posted.

EDIT: mms is working now as well. Thanks. Its been so long since I have ever had to mess with those settings that it just never occurred to me.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
I made a screwup and had to do a clean install, and I was having the same problem. In addition to all the steps above, I had to change CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM and mms began flowing again.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
CDMA + LTE/EvDo may not be better, likely changing setting just reset radio, and it started working again

Hi everyone, call logs does not seem to work for me. I have tried various build, m6 and many nightlies, all fresh installs, but call logs will not log anything, be it out going/incoming/missed. I have applied the GSM patch. Am i the only one with this issue? I am using safestrap 3.73.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
You won't gain any internal space from installing on the stock ROM slot, where the data partition is also just 3 GB. But since SD cards were f***** up nicely by Google in KitKat, the additional 4 GB that you gain on the "internal SD card" from installing CM on the stock ROM slot will enable you to move many apps from \data to the internal SD card. That's what I did, and it works well.

Not using additional ROM slots in parallel to the stock slot even leaves you enough internal space for navigation apps and the like :)

It is supposedly dangerous to install CM on the stock slot, but I would recommend it. You can still make backups from the recovery, fix things with the file manager or re-install CM from there ...
[Motorola Droid 4] :
Agreed. I said goodbye to stock JB a few weeks ago. I haven't had any issue with space, but whenever I put apps on the "sdcard" they end up disappearing from my home screen when I restart (usually after a flash). That happens on any romslot. Why is there an internal "sdcard" anyway? I definitely recommend using the stock slot.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Hi nobody has tried Link2sd?? it make you able to copy apps to external sd-card...just need to create a ext4 partition wich it will be used by your moved apps.

This is guide that you can follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142844...but would recommend to find the newest app version and use a ext4 partition...I'm not tested on Kitkat because i'm already using stock but it should work....

[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
Okay think I found my battery eaters. If its useful for anyone who is reading this thread:

A Process called fingerprint_scanner_local prevented my phone from going to deepsleep. Its a process started from google+ service. So I froze G+ and battery life was way better. But BatteryStatsPro showed me some more wakelocks. And I saw that the ksmd used a lot CPU time. It was preventing my phone going to deep sleep, too. I disabled KSM and now its a miracle. 6hrs of using it drains from 100% to 40%. Then I disabled these things and 8hrs of using drained my battery from 40% to 20%. So now Im satisfied.

Maybe its helpful for someone.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Aside from those Google Plus processes draining the battery, have you had any other battery issues with this ROM? I'm tempted to pick up a Droid 4 to replace my ailing Droid 3.

If I get anyone else's attention, are there any functional issues with this ROM in the latest builds, nightlies included? Camera? Hot spot? Wifi?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
In my personal opinion, CM11 is still a little rough around the edges. But I think most problems were caused by Google (SD card issues).

That said, my phone is working very well on the 140518 nightly! I use WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and the camera without problems. Battery usage is excelent!

When it comes to the hardware, only the screen is a major drawback ...
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
Can someone add functionality to CM11 so the phone wakes me up in the morning with a coffee?
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Is anything important not working? What's the deal with the SD Card? Is it good enough for a daily use ROM?

I think they used the same screen for the Droid 3, in which case, I probably wouldn't have any issues with it. I saw in one review on YouTube, someone complained that viewing the screen at angles presented problems. Is that what you were referring to?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Well, KitKat mounts the internal memory as SD card 0 and it introduced some security measures that prohibit apps from accessing (writing) to the SD card outside their home directory. Essentially you can now only move apps to the external SD card with help of extra software like Link2SD and an ext partition. Some "old" apps won't work any more because of access issues (they do not ask for the newly introduced permissions).

And yes, the screen has a narrow viewing angle and it is extremely slow. While scrolling dark/light text on a light/dark background, it is unreadable.

But the Droid 4 is still the best phone out there ... due to missing competition ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
So apps that I move to the external SD Card would have an issue? I never actually did that too much to begin with, so maybe that wouldn't be a huge issue for me, although Facebook just keeps getting bigger and bigger...

The "old" apps you're talking about are just ones that don't get the permission to write themselves to the phone in a way that they just get shot down? Like apps that are built primarily for 2.3.4 or something?

I wish there was a good YouTube review or something to see what you mean, but is it the phone itself that has this issue or is the ROM buggy in a way that the display has these issues?

Also keep an eye on Google Hangouts, it's got a battery drain issue in the 2.1 version for most devices.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Basically, you will be stuck using the internal storage, and the 8 GB or so fake internal SD (Internal Storage, Internal SD, External SD, they are mounted in that order, so basically, absolutely nothing will use your actual physical SD card.) This was an issue since the phone's release, but it's only getting worse because of the way Google's handling SDs in KK.

I've never noticed an issue with the screen, personally. The viewing angle is more than sufficient, and it's a phone, not a TV, viewing angle doesn't really matter for something you're holding in your hands. People don't like the pixel layout on this phone, but let's be honest, unless you do graphic design or watch HD videos all the time on your phone, you won't notice.

Just my opinion, but considering how cheap Droid 4's are, last I checked, you don't really have much to lose. Just keep in mind we probably won't get a CM 12 on this phone, it's bound to lose dev support soon-ish.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
This rom is great on my Droid 4, sure there are occasional issues, but wifi, bluetooth, 3G, LTE, keyboard, everything works! The SD-Card issue is a 4.4 Kit Kat introduced thing, but CM sorta glazes over that and I have not had much difficulty telling apps to use the SD card (like anything that lets you actually browse and pick where it saves things, manages to save onto my external/real SD card). WinAmp, Rdio, Camera ZoomFX, Titanium Backup, etc. Mostly I store backups, music, documents, and photos on my SD card, and if an app wants to store it's data on the fake internal partition called 'sd card' so be it. I back all that **** up in TiBu onto my SD card anyway, and Google Sync might even back it up to the cloud if you're lucky.

If you have a Droid 3, you should totally seek out a like-new Droid 4 and jump up to unlimited 4G LTE and an improved keyboard (and HDMI). I use the nightlies of CM11 as my stock rom daily driver.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
I think that's the last endorsement I needed. Found one on eBay for $65 and a coupon for $15 off, so it came to $50. Not a bad impulse-buy, haha. Hoping this pans out as well as it looks. I've been stuck on an ICS ROM with this Droid 3 forever, and it sounds like this will be a good enhancement considering the 4G LTE, the OS improvements, and the price point. Hope the development and this community stays active for a little while longer now!

The way the world works, that Droid 5 will get announced any day now, haha.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Unfortunately, if you want 4G unlimited, you're now SoL. You can try pleading to Verizon Customer Service, but they probably won't let you upgrade to 4G unlimited...
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
As long as its used or full price, you can keep unlimited data.

I'm using a droid 4 with unlimited data.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
That's a good point, but I was under the impression you could only get a 4G unlimited plan like sd_Shadow said by buying it full price.

Alternatively, I had also planned to use my mom's upgrade since she has a feature phone and get a smartphone which would be activated on my line. That would also get me a 4G phone at a subsidized price and maintain my UDP, I believe.

The biggest difference in my eyes is the phone insurance. I would image getting a phone through Verizon, I would still be able to get their insurance plan, which has saved me before.

This Droid 4 from eBay though could die on me in a year and then I'm SoL for real until I buy another phone. I'm good with my possessions, but anything could happen.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
You can keep 4G unlimited if you're already on it, by buying full-price phones, but I'm fairly certain you're screwed if you're on 3G unlimited.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that's how it works.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I was on 3g unlimited (droid 3), bought a used droid 4, activated it, kept unlimited data ( now 4g)
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
So are you saying that having been on 3G unlimited, switching my Droid 3 SIM card into the Droid 4 and calling that *611 number to activate the phone will not provide unlimited 4G on the Droid 4?

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Furthermore, to support this, several people said the same was the result of what I will be trying to do when I made a post on r/Verizon over on Reddit last week.

I guess we'll see what happens this week. I'll be sure to update the thread with my results.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
not that simple sorry, need to get a new micro sim, you can have verizon store activate, or I just went to verizonwireless.com and signed, entered phone info and sim card info.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I don't have a source to back this up, I hope I'm wrong, just want him to be aware.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Ah, I didn't realize. The Droid 3 has a different SIM size?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Yes different size, and the droid 3 sim doesn't support LTE
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Very true, good point. Hope acquiring that doesn't mess with my UDP, but we shall see.

Thanks everyone for you help with this. I'll update when I go through with everything.
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
The recent nightlies have been nothing but bootloops for me.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Have you wiped data and cache before flashing?
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
fresh installs, not dirty flash. I think I will revert to cm10.2 for the moment. Battery life is horrendous on cm11.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I'm not having (m)any problems with CM11 - it's definitely good enough as a daily driver. I've found battery life to be great, I just need to perform a battery calibration every now and again.

The only "problems" I see are the occasional spontaneous reboot (maybe once every week, maybe a fortnight), although I do force a reboot every day in any case, and the ability to connect to Bluetooth on my car stereo a second time in a day seems very hit and miss - mostly miss.
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
Finally I found the cause of massive battery drain, and that is ART!!!

After reverting to dalvik, battery life is normal again. It is surprising how ART is the cause of my battery drain even though it is suppose to improve the battery life according to so many. I suspect that ART + not-so-ART-friendly apps is the cause of battery drain. I am using M6.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Well, that's not a big surprise as ART is still experimental. Hope it will become stable soon ... and XPosed will be compatible with it ...
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
When active ART option, the processor will not enter into Idle Mode, consuming a lot of battery. Anyone else with this problem? Testing using CPUSPY

Yep, camera works perfectly for me, only problem I have is since I upgraded from CM10, on which I had transplanted the KK gapps, I've got this weird issue where I have no camera icon in the app drawer, but I can access from lock screen. Oops.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
GPS should continue to work after the first fix (and does for me). I'm using the "gps status" app from the play store.

WiFi tethering can't currently work, as the rom is using the "normal" wpa_supplicant/hostap, as the TI-version is not yet compatible with 4.4.
[Motorola Droid 4] WildKitsune:
Any chance to enable mass storage mode? That was no problem in 4.3.

MTP really sucks.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I'd really prefer to have the Mass Storage/MTP/PTP selection option, instead of the really ugly android usb thing I currently see.

Also, face unlock works in this build! It was broken for so long in CM10 and the like, I forgot it existed.
[Motorola Droid 4] WildKitsune:
i tried enabling mass storage mode via terminal emulator, by entering as root:

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage

this resulted in a loop of a crashing and restarting systemUI after a reboot, which i was not able to fix, until data wipe, because i was not able to run the terminal emulator again or even enable USB-Debugging, because the UI was constantly crashing.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I think mass storage mode is not ported to cm-11 yet, so enabling this setting might lead to some enable some parts of code which expect other (not yet existing) parts to be there.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Any way to get it to set to global network mode upon reboot? It always resets to other setting any time I reboot. Loses LTE on that mode.
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
Cool. So do I need to upgrade from stock ICS to stock JB first, or can I just install this straight over it? Is it a kexec ROM?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
It is kexec but if you flash it on stock ROM slot do upgrade to jb stock just to avoid complications.

Into Stock Slot

Hey All,

If I remember correctly, my stock ROM slot is corrupted. Meaning, the software is corrupted, not the memory.

Now this ROM works well for me in Slot 1, but does anyone have an opinion on the best way to put this (any?) ROM onto Stock if it is corrupted? If I switch back to the Stock slot, I think I'm trapped in a boot loop.

Trying to avoid the ol' brick. Thanks, in advance.

For those of you that are hesitant, please try this ROM, I think it is a huge benefit to the phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
No problems on stock ROM slot just make sure u wipe data/dalvik/cache before you install. Should work like a charm. Did for me.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Are u using the ART compiler with those gapps?
[Motorola Droid 4] huckky:
Yes, i chose ART right after first reboot and then installed my apps. I get occasional gapps fc but no biggie.

Question: Can i dirty flash 20131127 version alone and be fine? Or should i install gapps everytime and/or clean cache etc?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

Which nightlies? The official CM ones or the ones built by my build-bot for BMM-users?

Hmm, I currently don't have any bluetooth-problems and my phone connects fine to my car (at least twice a day).

I'm not sure what's happening for you and why your phone still thinks it's connected to the car when it is not. Can you try to get a log when the connection is unsuccessful?

Yes, don't use ART. It's not supposed to be used as a daily driver currently and only for developers to make their apps ART-ready. See the first post under "what is not working". ;)

I should probably change the title of this thread to something like [Un-/Official]...

I thought I'd see if you guys had any tips for the rooting process and flashing of this ROM. I see that HashCode has an updated version of Safestrap in this thread with TWRP. Will I be able to flash directly to this ROM after rooting and installing the latest Safestrap?

Any specific Rooting tool that people might recommend?

Anyone recommend a specific nightly that has been pretty stable for them?

I noticed that ART has given people some problems. Is that enabled by default?

Any settings to change in the initial setup to optimize the ROM?

Any other tips/quirks about the ROM worth knowing prior to setup?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Answering your questions in order:

Direct flash: Yes

Took me over an hour to get home, had to stop it from using highways, and take surface roads.

I'm not sure whether to blame my hardware, Google Maps (as it recently updated) or my ROM.

[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
That should have you in the right one. Did you do a clean install or "dirty" when you put cm11 on? That can mess them up sometimes. If you did a clean install. Try hitting menu when in the apn settings and choose reset. Then reboot your phone. That should correct the issue. I have had the issue many times but usually when on wifi and I have to reboot or switch to 4G.

Just a warning to everyone, today's nightly (6/03) has issues...I flashed it, rebooted, and the screen never woke up again after the initial rebuilding of the cache. The nav buttons would light up, but the screen never came on until I rebooted, at which point I put back the 6/02 nightly instead.

Also still having issues where apps fail to update and throw the "insufficient storage" error even if that seems to be a catch-all for any error while updating.
