No factory reset is needed, I'll update the jbx with some new changes, it should have less battery consumption

I would like also more symbols, especially the "~" :)

Regards
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Can you please try the current build if I finally fixed the SoDs? There is a high probability, that they are gone now :)

Thanks & Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I'll give it a go, I hope you're right! Although in the last build, I was having data/GPS problems too, we just can't have everything working at once, it seems...
[Motorola Droid 4] 3diord:
About the symbols, my solution was to edit the keylayout and keychar files. I can post them here, but they include some weird stuff that people here might not like. It has easy access to the unicode combining characters for accents. Like so: áäâã

Also has easy access to helpful characters, like these: £¥|~[]<>\

Even lets you put any unicode character you could ever want, providing you know it's hex value, for example, 0CA0 = ಠ

It accomplishes this by changing "Caps lock" into "Shift" and "shift" into "Alt"
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Unfortunately, just had an SoD on the 19 build. Gaaaah.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Do you have the screen-lock/unlock sound enabled?

If so, can you try to disable it for a few days?

Thanks & regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I was also experiencing issues with data connectivity and GPS holding onto a signal on the past few nightlies...were there any changes that should even be affecting the radios? As for the SoD, will keep you posted, on today's 1/19 and I've never used an unlock sound so ::fingers crossed::
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I went ahead and disabled it, but the SoD happened while my phone was silenced, so you'd think it wouldn't matter.... I'll report back.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
I had a strange issue with official rom and my kernel, after toggling off/on the gps, the device would not enter in deep sleep anymore but using google maps seems to be ok (AGPS)
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

You are missing http://omapzoom.org/?p=kernel/omap.git;a=commitdiff;h=a414a0f76153602f032257955d76a3c77820f936 in your kernel.

EDIT: Looked at the wrong place, you already have that commit. Strange.

screen flickering / glitches

I just updated from a older nighlty to the todays nightly cm-11-20140220-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip

but I now have screen Issues.

Sometimes the colors are inverted for a short while.

Sometimes i see flickering some old displayes parts(regions) of a prevous screen.

Sometimes the displayed screen is miss aligned.

When opening and closing the qwerty the screen is splitted in the middle of the screen with a black line for a short time.

In Qwerty mode i have a pixel line at the right of the screen which has broken colors

I realised this after switching in a older rom to the ART runtime... now I switched back, but I still have these issues.

I did now boot to my stock rom... but here seems everything fine until now. I will keep it a bit running.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I have never experienced any of the screen issues that Doener mentions, however, on yesterday's nightly (2/19) I did experience a SoD while it was plugged in. This morning, after my alarm went off the first time and I snoozed it...it died. I overslept and woke up to a blank/dead phone that I had to reboot while it was plugged in all night. Trying out 2/20 now, of course, and sorta feel like GPS is taking FOREVER to get a lock...
[Motorola Droid 4] 3diord:
I'm on 2/20. No weird screen problems in either portrait or landscape. Only thing I've run into is MX Player doesn't have a good time using the HW decoder for video.

-edit- just noticed, /system is mounted rw on boot??

-edit2- rebooted and its ro again, strange.

-edit3- The phone will not go to sleep now, had this problem on 2/15 intermittently as well.

Nightlight 20140221 is official now, or not upload yet?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Still building due to a broken first build...
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
past few days, including today on 2/21's nightly I've been having way more SoD than usual, even while just sitting here charging up before I leave work....it's been plugged in for over an hour, but just a few minutes ago, without me having touched it or woken it up in a while, it died and I only noticed when someone asked me if I got their message.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I now at least think I know what is causing the SoDs:

When playing a media-file (like an SMS-notification) the mediaserver-process sometimes deadlocks. When this happens and you try to wake up the device, it will hang.

Now to debug this:

Do you have files from today in /data/anr or /data/tombstones?

If so, can you send them to me by email?

I don't know why the SoDs should be more frequent on recent builds (there were audio changes, but only in the one from 0221).

EDIT: There were sound-related changes in base CM, maybe they are triggering the more frequent SODs for you...

Thanks & Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] fabio536:
anyone experiencing problem with battery meter?All I can get is 100% / 55% / 20% / 5%...no other steps..No problem with the stock rom!
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Mine shows each 1% increment as it charges and discharges...sometimes reporting 103% in the battery stats, but the status bar only shows 99-1%.

Stargo, I have like 9 tombstone files, but they are all from the past, nothing from today. I'm sending the single file in data/anr that was dated today...
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
The anr-file shows exactly why the device is not waking up for you:

The Task is in an uninterruptible sleep (state=D) in something called from ...nativeSetInteractive. As there is only one thing called from there, the uninterruptible sleep happens in the omap4-power-HAL while trying to write the maximum cpu frequency for cpufreq. This is a bug in either the cpufreq-framework or one cpufreq-driver.

EDIT: Seems like this

EDIT2: This patch will be in the 0222 nightly, please report back if this helps. The nightly is building right now.

[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
ive never changed it, set to hotplug, is there anything better?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
You have hotplug selected? That would fit the patch I mentioned :)

The default should be interactive.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Wow, that's awesome - I never see battery life like that on my phone. Could you describe how/what you did to disable HDMI? What was it that you flashed? I'd be interested to try it on my phone. Searched around in this thread and didn't find any clues, but maybe my brain is broken (quite possible).
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
you can find it in my 3.0.31 kernel tread

edit:

the phone was lightly in use
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I believe I was using hotplug, I really hope this is the end of those damn SoDs, they were driving me bonkers.

Yep, just checked, Hotplug and CFQ for I/O.

I hope for everyone's sake that this issue is finally resolved!
[Motorola Droid 4] DiMacho:
After installing the 20140222 update through settings ( I had the 20140206) I can't start the ROM anymore. It keeps turning on the cyanogenmod screen, after an hour, I turned the phone off.

I can get into SafeStrap.... I thought it was ok to install the new kernel and the CM20140221, but it still keeps turning. No luck. Any solution or install it all fresh and clean?

If I do a fresh install, do I still have to install the rom first, the enable ART and then install the Gapps?

Edit: Got it running nog with fresh install of 20140221 and new Gapps. But forgot to enable ART, is it safe to do so now?
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'm now using Interactive and will see how this goes...I still have 'noop' as my i/o, but sounds like it's more to do with the governor? As for getting better battery life from disabling HDMI audio through the kernel, wasn't that a change merged into the CM tree the other day?

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/59925/
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
:<

They're not. Just had one on 2/22... Stargo, I'll PM you the files from anr and tombstone.
[Motorola Droid 4] fabio536:
I don't think this is normal... (see the attachment)
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
I had the same thing happen. Went back to a previous date's build and all is fine. But I had also installed JBX, so not sure what the cause was.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I'm having the same problem. It's a known issue but Stargo's trying to fix more important issues like SoD, I think.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I don't have one to test with, but, you could always just make a small ROM slot to test yourself.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwood129:
I think male6363 missed the avatar rom post to ask the very same question.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

today's nightly will be the last unofficial one (for now). I've pushed all changes (except one, see below) into the CM repositories and have now switched the last remaining special repository in my build to the upstream CM one. It only contained the changed update-server URL.

This means that if you check for an updated nightly tomorrow, you will be presented with the official one. You can then just install it over my unofficial one and nothing should break (I've tested this a number of times now).

The one change which I did not commit to CM is the ability to edit the APNs on VZW, because this would never get accepted and should no longer be necessary at all. APNs can still be edited when using GSM.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] doener:
As the stock rom was running fine. I cleanly installed the the current build. The Droid 4 is now running again like a charme, but I wonder. Has no one else such problems while upgrading from nightly to nightly? I tried to clean the cache/system/dalivk partitions first but that didn't help. So it was probably something in the Data patition which went wrong.

Anyway... Nice to see that a custom rom gets official! Thats really awesome, but that probably also means there will be no option to swap internal and external memory in the next time. Just because now such a patch (Advanced storage menu) must be merged into CM and thats not going to happen in the next time. Keep it going!
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
The rom is not more installable with older recoveries?

I'm on BMM and until the version 20140215 I have not had any problems, today i tried upgrading to 20140225 and 20140224 and i have error status 6.

#Postedit

You are going to official build and this is a known issue and there is a simple solution with these files but would be fine if you could solve it.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
How about we try to get BMM fixed instead? I really don't want to disable selinux-support in the official builds.

I think it's not a big problem, just fixing the updater in BMM.

You are using 2.7? I will try to get it built this evening with the fix, it looks like just a very small diff. But my build-environment is not in the state to do a test-build right now as I'm already compiling a complete android image...

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Seems like the latest source available is for 2.7, but 3.4 is the current version :(

Do you happen to know another location for the source?

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'd like to second this being merged soon, so frustrating how sd cards work presently vs when you could swap them under cm10.

Stargo - Any idea why this patch was abandoned and never merged upstream?

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/56516/

it is the single biggest feature I wish CM11 had and it's frustrating that it was left high and dry
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Yes, SD-"card" swapping is the only thing I am waiting for in CM11. I really hate how Google is dictating how we are supposed to use our devices and what we are supposed to do with them (read "We build phones without external SD-cards and we don't care about the other manufacturers or their customers. Also, if you want to have more memory, don't buy a cheap SD-card, buy a bigger phone!").
[Motorola Droid 4] bustr85:
Sorry guys just to clear any confusion - cm11 for the droid4 is not unoffical anymore - I've read a couple of posts ago. Does that mean that the it's better to download the image directly from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=maserati

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] whiterabbit1:
we need unthrottle for cricket data /flash data :)

they got me slowed down to 20kb a sec plz script this plz other than that i got a couple pointers so here goes. calls hangup get stuck hanging up also sometimes get a reboot at random and also done the take the battery down to 1 percent and then charge it trying to get the rom to stable out battery life but to no avail not been helping my case lol other than those things dhacker u kick major azz thnks for all your work u da man:highfive:
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Yes, that is exactly where you should get updates now. Your phone's check for updates section under About Phone in Settings will also pull the official builds now and install them for you much faster and easier than before (most likely because they're on a faster server now that properly sends the change logs now!)

Great work, Stargo, on today's official and so far so good!
[Motorola Droid 4] bustr85:
Excellent thanks, I will have a go at it maybe tonight. I think I'm gonna just get rid of my original ROM. I have 10.2.1 on Rom Slot 1 to fall back to as well.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Ok I am seeing a "no APN specified on device" message when trying to send MMS. Haven't had the issue since first installing this ROM. Could it be cuz I took out my SD card for another phone??? I can't seem to find anywhere to set APN for Verizon
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
CDMA networks don't use APNs.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwood129:
Its amazing that I have an apn in my verizon device.

1st screenshot is from phone itself. 2nd is from 8 sms which I use.

hit ThAnKs if I was helpful!!!
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
The "easy" way to enter the APN-settings is not available on the official images when running in CDMA-mode :(

But there is a workaround. You should still be able to get into the settings by executing the following command in a terminal or via adb:

am start 'com.android.settings/.Settings$ApnSettingsActivity'

There's probably an app which allows to create a shortcut for the "com.android.settings/.Settings$ApnSettingsActivity" activity.

[Motorola Droid 4] bustr85:
I have installed the latest official nightly and it works a charm so far, very happy. Thanks for everyone for the hard work that got put it.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
As of a few nightlies ago, I think my SoDs have stopped! I've been very careful to keep my phone awake during critical hours to avoid the issue entirely, but I haven't seen it happen in a while. I wouldn't put them on the fixed list quite yet, it's entirely possible I've just had good luck, but hopefully it is fixed. Thanks, Stargo!

Anyone else having good luck with the SoDs?
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Yes! I have not had a SoD under any of the recent builds...running the 2/27 official build now. Yesterday's gave me issues with service, and dropped the data connection and could not get it back even after I rebooted. Today the 2/27 nightly seems to hang onto cell service, but I'm noticing issues with Google account sync where if I go to my Google accounts in settings it'll have red icons next to each account and say "sync is currently experiencing problems" at the bottom. If I force it to sync again, it'll usually turn green and seem to be working, but this happens every day. Is this a wider issue on Google's side or related to updating my ROM every day?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I'm having this issue regardless of whether or not I'm upgrading. I think it might partially be the data dropping, because I've caught it dropping a LOT lately.
[Motorola Droid 4] Funky B:
I was able to enter settings after defining a user in terminal on 2/26 and 2/27 but still no luck. Most APN settings will save fine but when setting MCC and MNC the APN will disappear from the list. I then tried to create a new APN but again it will not show on the list.

It's strange, when I did a clean install of 2/26 I had no APN issues on the first day. Permission issues maybe?

Thanks again for all your hard work!
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
Is anyone else using CyanDelta for their nightly updates?
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
The APN disappears when you set the MCC/MNC because the values you set don't match the network the phone is currently connected to.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
No, but thanks for reminding me I can use that again! Why, is it giving you trouble?
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Second that - any idea why http://review.cyanogenmod.org/56516 is abandoned? Anyone?
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Join the crowd, I guess. Still having this issue myself. Today, I lost ALL service, including phone, not just data. The only fix was a reboot. This was NOT a problem in builds from earlier in February. Something has changed and for the worst. I going to roll back to the build from the 14th. That was the last build where I didn't have all these connectivity issues. Unfortunately, I just can't have this happening asI use my phone for work. Randomly dropping all service just is not going to cut it.

Stargo, anything I can do to help resolve this?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Yes, on which exact build was that?

The total service-loss issue has been fixed as of the 20140301-build. It was a broken suspend-mode for the serial-port the modem is connected to (which I only found after fixing a broken suspend-mode for USB, yay...). In some cases the serial interrupt got disabled and never enabled again, meaning the phone never did read any data the modem tried to send...

I need a dmesg in case of a signal-loss, if this is still happening.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Ok, I'll install the latest build in hopes it is resolved. If it is not, I'll get a logcat and dmesg for you and post. Appreciate the update. :)

Edit: The build was compiled on Feb. 26th but the issues go all the way back to after the 14th.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Y am I still seeing this?
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
If you mean the "Persistent" Google search bar, you need to disable it in the settings for Trebuchet:

Settings

Personalization Section (click: Home)

Trebuchet (Selected as default)

Click "Settings" at bottom

un-tick "Search bar" (only option there)
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
No I mean the "no APN set on device" using Verizon's APN
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:

Thanks one more time stargo! This rom is almost perfect! Evertyhing seems to work (GSM)...the only difference to stock it's hdmi everything else work! Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] kburt8:
My wife's D4 had the no APN error on Verizon (US). To resolve it, all I had to do was go in to the Mobile Network Settings -> CDMA Subscriptions and select RUIM/SIM (NV was previously selected).
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
It seems to go away every time I wipe cache and dalvik but it reappears. Set to ruim/sim so let's see if it'll stick. Thanks for that info
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Stargo, just confirming I have not had any issues since rebuilding on the 1st. Thanks again. :good:

stupid play store...

Hey, so I have not had a SoD issue at all lately, so yay!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, the Google Play Store is being a ***** and having huge problems installing or even updating certain apps. Some work fine, but others, almost DAILY, fail. One solution I've found is to uninstall and then reinstall, which for AllCast works alright. But then the next day, next AllCast update comes out and it fails again in the exact same way. The other solution is to go into /data/data and delete the associated app's data and then it also has no problems updating. Unfortunately, neither of those work when I'm trying to install a new app, which lately all fail.

By fail, I mean after download and install attempt, it throws me the 'insufficient storage available" error. I certainly do have sufficient storage available since these are updates and the apps are already installed. Additionally I've installed CM11 into the stock slot and deleted all other rom slots and have free space in every partition. :-\

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm not even sure it's specific to our phone or CM11 at all, and seems more like a Play Store issue maybe?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Having a similar issue, Play Store rarely will update of its own accord (I have it set to update on 4G and when not charging), downloads get stuck, updates won't complete, etc. Google Play Music constantly runs out of space despite there being at least half a gig free on all partitions.

Seems like a storage issue first and foremost.

problem with sms and google voice

I've been using stargo's unofficial roms for a while, and have always been able to use my google voice account to send SMS messages via 8sms. I most recently was using the 11-20140220 version and was having some random shutdowns, so I decided to try 11-20140307. seemed pretty stable, but using it (or 11-20140310), I can't send text messages with either 8sms or 'messaging'. I have texting turned off completely with Verizon, so the only option is to go through my google voice number. I *can* send texts using the google voice app, but of course that can't be set as the default. I used the cm voice+ app to route all sms through google voice with all three roms. I have the 0220 version in slot 2 (safestrap 3.65) and the 0307 version in slot 1. I can go back to 0220 and 8sms works fine. has anyone else seen this behavior?
