I wouldn't know why these apps shouldn't install on CM11 on our Droid 4. The questions is if they work and manage to communicate via bluetooth, which is something probably no one here can test ...

cm11 snapshot with stagefright fix up https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=maserati
[Motorola Droid 4] Jishkah:
Awesome. Updating from the previous (unpatched) Snapshot to the Stagefright fix worked without a hitch. Thanks a ton for the continued dedication and support, everybody!
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Thanks a lot! Great to have a safe and reliable system on our Droid 4 :D
[Motorola Droid 4] drnessie:
For the record, the apps I mentioned before work perfectly.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
for the record, i was guessing that they wouldn't.

thanks for the update.

Hi,

I have built new CM11 images which contain the latest security fixes: http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Wow, these things happen without people having to pester you about release dates?! :D

Thanks a lot! :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid 4] Shadowz619:
thank you for your ongoing support. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Yes - many, many thanks.

Wish I had permission to access that CM13 folder:)
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
I know! I've been checking it every day since October 13th, to see if we will get access.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Oh well - we got what we asked for I suppose:)
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION], you are a genius! That video is the most subtlety awesome thing that I have seen in a while.

For everyone else, Lollipop is now officially a year old on the RAZR. I remember getting up on November 16th, and was treated with a sweet build of Lollipop. I have high hopes for Marshmallow.:good:

Hello

I updated the system and still I have the same problem: NO SIM CARD message.

Did anybody meet with this problem and can advise me what to do? I installed CM on a new partition formed on the default settings. The phone turns on, and everything else works. Amazingly even SMSes come. But I can not send anything - zero network coverage. I can't chose network (field in menu is unavailable).

I try GSM, WCDMA and mix settings in network. I can't mix it or even select LTE (probably another bandwidth than is in USA). When I change to Global then error disappear but this is only change. SMS still don't works.

Regards

Kusio
[Motorola Droid 4] hearkenoath:
Did you tried to flash the patch for Verizon phones from Mentor.37? The link it's on the OP top end
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Try this version of Xposed framework. Worked for me back at CM12.1; maybe this new build incorporated the new ART?

→

However, I'd suggest going to the CM13 unofficial instead of CM11, as it works nicely already (even though still being fine-tuned) and doesn't suffer from CM12's problems with being slow, terribly low on RAM and painful to use :)
[Motorola Droid 4] hearkenoath:
I'm doing that first thing friday. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] KusioST:
I installed Mentor ROM, but without effect. OP is this same? I am new and I don't recognize all shorts.

I tried all three version (11,12,13). Only on CM13 SMS works so maybe I will stay with it. If I remember good You help me with installation problem :]. 13 is really cool, but seems to works slower than 11.
[Motorola Droid 4] hearkenoath:
It's the original poster, meaning Stargo. I always use his CM 11 without hassle.
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Yup, that was me. I guess CM 11 (Android 4.4 KitKat) is a bit faster - Android completely switched from Dalvik to ART since 5.0 which is in our case more memory-hungry and jamming RAM and storage at times. However, I prefer CM13 as the system UI is much cleaner and friendlier.

For GSM to work fine in pre-CM13 ROMs, you need not Mentor's ROM (full system), but just his patch (small flashable set of mostly settings improvements) for using the phone in non-US GSM networks fine. In CM13, stargo incorporated the tweaks directly in the ROM. The patch is downloadable from Mentor.37's page linked in Mentor.37's forum post linked by stargo, as I quoted. Direct link for the page where it's downloadable at the bottom: http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/en/patch-fully-enable-gsm-cdma-global-phones-android

[Motorola Droid 4] KusioST:
I tried:

cm-11-20150901-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3G0-maserati.zip

cm-11-20160104-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip

but probably I don't instal anything else on it.

I also think that in CM13 UI is more friendlier and there is a lot of option to configure it (but at this moment part of it doesn't work). Maybe there is some other UI which can work faster? I going to try ZenUI and CM Launcher. It is good idea?

Can I install this patch on all android versions or only for Android 4.X?
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Never tried any other, never liked any OEM-customized ones :) In Android, I ever used only original (vanilla) Android UI, Moto stock UI that wasn't that much customized, and (finally) CM's slightly improved derivation of vanilla Android, which I like the most so far.

Yes, all versions. The changes are basically affecting only build.prop and are universal - read Mentor's page for more info.
[Motorola Droid 4] hearkenoath:
I used Arrow Launcher but for me the best Android doesn't anything more. I enjoy Google Now Launcher for the comfort. Tried CM 13 in stock slot last night and can't complain except that decided to wipe everything and was left without Safestrap for Slot 1 where I saved CM 11

Maybe we could try that kernel for CM 13, all users say that works wonders.
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
I'm not talking only about launcher. I quite like CM's Trebuchet for its simplicity, but when talking about system UI, I also mean stuff like Settings layout, status bar, apps switcher, way apps are given their permissions (and can be revoked some through CM's Privacy Guard and Android 6's new permissions model), toast notifications layout and many more little things that make the phone easier to use and keep me in charge of what's going on :)

Well, next time don't erase Internal Storage - that's where your media AND SafeStrap's settings and slots reside - in most ROMs it's referred to as SD card or Internal SD. You can delete folders like data and Android there though, that's where system stores some of its data (eg. when you "move app to SD card"), and essentially whatever you want except the safestrap and TWRP folders. In these two settings and partitions of SafeStrap are kept.

Also never reboot after you wipe /system before you install a new ROM - SafeStrap can't boot then either, so you'd have to SBF.

What kernel? I didn't notice any mention of kernels in previous posts, am I missing something?

[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Yes, that helps - and there are versions for older CMs as well, all by same author, if I'm not mistaken.
[Motorola Droid 4] zz45:
Hey guys, I've got following problem:

my phone calls goes muted after a while. Sometimes it's 15 seconds, sometimes it's 2 minutes. The sound will be back, but then dissappear again. My caller hears me all the time. The problem is gone when I turn on speaker, but you know it's hard to talk like that when somebody is near you. Anybody faced this problem?
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
What build? I've never experienced that.
[Motorola Droid 4] K_Meleon:
Hey!

If you turn on/off Wi-Fi and/or the airplane mode very often (this is done by an app called Llama), the Wi-Fi driver can't be turned on anymore. It's stuck at "turning on". If it's stuck, the only solution seems to be rebooting the phone.

Is there any solution for that issue?

Am I the only person where this issue occurs?

Thanx in advance!

BR,

kernel: build04@cyanogenmod#1
[Motorola Droid 4] Jishkah:
I mean, it could be hardware-related. I'd been flip-flopping between CyanogenMod 11 and CyanogenMod 12.1 for the better part of a year, and I've never experienced that issue with 11 on any iteration of the ROM being on my phone.

I remember having this issue on CyanogenMod 12.1 and 13, but a reboot and a wipe of the Cache/Dalvik Cache usually fixed the issue.

I know that this probably wasn't the answer that you were looking for, but, at least from my experience, I've never had that issue pop up on CM11. Sorry, buddy. Could honestly just be a malfunction with the app, if it's using Root, or a hardware issue. Or a quirk with your specific ROM installation. The only WiFi-related issue that I'm having is that it sometimes needs a bit of a nudge in the form of toggling Airplane Mode on and then off to get it to connect to the WiFi, though I attribute that more to failing hardware than anything.
[Motorola Droid 4] M_w_B:
I feel like the latest CM 11 SNAPSHOT is more smooth than 10.2.1 or is this just my excitement? All I do not like is the camera.. I liked the one on CM 13 a lot more, but CM 13 takes too much performance and battery in my opinion.. Perhaps I might switch later.
[Motorola Droid 4] drnessie:
Gesture Typing not working

I just reinstalled this ROM (downgrading from the painfully slow CM13) into the Safe Slot in safestrap. I installed opengapps.

How do I get gesture typing working on the stock keyboard? When I start a swipe, the line showing where my finger was appears but then a message pops up saying AOSP Keyboard crashed. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:

Hi,

For whom it may benefit: I dirty flashed cm-11-20160815-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip over cm-11-20150901-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3G0-maserati.zip. Booted fine, zero stagefright vulnerabilities according to Zimperium Stagefright Detector :victory:, all apps seem to work so far. Will update this post if I run into to trouble, but I don't expect any. Thanks a ton stargo!

Ack! Seems like cm-11-20160815-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip has a battery drain issue. "Android OS" keeps it awake forever if WiFi is on, even after a full data/cache/dalvik wipe. Now trying if I can get the Stagefright fixes into cm-11-20150901-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3G0-maserati.zip.
[Motorola Droid 4] mp107:
Welcome.

I've recently bought the Droid 4 and found it enough powerful for my daily using.

As I get used to using CM11 on my previous device I decided to build ROM on my own to include the latest security fixes and to remove some unnecessary for me stuff.

Firstly, I wanted to build the ROM without any additional changes to see if I've prepared the whole environment (etc.) properly.

I've followed the tutorial on the CyanogenMod's website (link), including also extracting blobs from the device with CM11 installed. The building went well, zip file has been created but I was not able to get the ROM work - after building and flashing zip it came up only backlighted, black screen.

I've successfully built CM9 and CM11 (recently) for my Xperia Mini Pro before so all the necessities should be on place.

OS: Linux Mint 17.3 MATE

Java: 6 OpenJDK set as default (I've used it before and building worked for my previous device).
[Motorola Droid 4] giannhs_n:
it would be interesting to build a stock cm10.1 - 2 or cm11 for Droid on stock partition!
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

cm-10.1 and 10.2 have a broken modem-driver (an interrupt gets occassionally disabled forever), you don't really want to run that.

You need to get the vendor-files by either extracting them from a running phone or using the repository in the manifest referenced in the first post (preferred). The way to extract the binaries from the phone is described in the wiki-article about how to build for this phone.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] mp107:
Is it normal that after pressing the power key for about 6 seconds the phone reboots itself?

It often takes place in my pocket when driving in the sitting position.

I can provide some logs if it would be useful.

I have tested and noticed such behaviour on two builds of CM-11.0.

First - I have built CM11 from sources on my own on 10-th October 2016.

Second - the last build available here - 20160815.
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
Yes, this is normal.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
it's normal on stock rom also
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Yes, because you can't do a battery pull on this phone. It's a hardware thing.
[Motorola Droid 4] mp107:
Thank you for the explanation.

I knew about POWER and VOL- combo but didn't know about the mentioned one.

So, the only possible workaround would be a hardware modification.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
I've been having a charging issue with my phone starting today. It must have not been plugged in when I went to bed last night because when I woke up, the power was down to 33%. I plugged it in and hung in bed for an hour or so this morning, but when I checked my phone, the battery hadn't charged past 34%. I gave the phone a reboot and let it sit on airplane mode for a while, and it got up to 40%. Then I tried turning it off and letting it sit for a half hour charging, but that didn't get it any further.

I hard reset the device by holding the power button and it managed to get up to 50% when I let it charge for a bit, but since then it's idled. I rebooted again and checked out CWM Recovery, and

the weird thing is, my battery reads as 99% in CWM

. When I reboot system, I'm back to ~50%. It can drain and it can say it's charging, but it never goes beyond that ceiling.

I opened it up and tightened the screws on the battery (I replaced it previously with one from Amazon, but the thing was terrible so I put the original back in). I've hard reset it again, and it still stalls.

I downloaded Ampere, and that tells me that it's not charging at all, but also gets a Good health reading on my battery.

So that leads me to my question: If this is a software issue and my best bet is to reflash a ROM, I need to know what I am safe flashing. The current build on my phone is cm-11-20150426-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip. It worked for me, so I just never updated with all of the new nightlies.

Because I have been so hands-off for the last two years, I've actually forgotten when you absolutely need to do a wipe prior to a flash. Is it safe going from cm-11-20150426-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip to any build after that? Can I just jump to cm-11-20160815-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip, the last unofficial build, or was there something with Snapshots that I'm forgetting that I cannot flash?

If [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] has moved on from this project, if anyone could give me that much layman's knowledge, whether it's [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] or another newb, I would really appreciate it.

I've got another Droid 4, and I've swapped that battery into my current phone as I write this. Hopefully that battery will charge just fine, and I can just move on, maybe pick up another off eBay for the battery, and hope that the Blackberry Mercury blows me away on Saturday so I'll just shell out the cash... Or maybe I'll just suck it up and buy a new phone and adapt to a world without keyboards like so many have...

Any help is appreciated. Thanks for letting me shout into the void!
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Sounds like it was a bad cell in your other battery, so hopefully swapping with another Droid 4 fixes your issue, that is, unless the microUSB port or cable is the problem. That being said, I think you've hung onto your Droid 4 long enough that you should totally consider treating yourself to the BlackBerry Mercury, I know that's what my wife is extremely excited for -- she's never wanted to watch a phone announcement live before ;)

As for flashing a different version of the ROM, as long as you move upwards in versions you should not have to wipe data, it only becomes an issue if you try to drop back down to a previous version that it's best to wipe data because some settings can get corrupted or confused. Good luck!
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Haha, I have a feeling when I'm at work Saturday I may just be glued to the stream as well. I've also gone and acquired an iPhone QWERTY case and popped off the iPhone mount so I can place a backing of any other Android phone on the slide out part and pair it with the Bluetooth keyboard.

So far so good on the charge. It was at 62% when I sat down to watch Scorcese's Silence with my father an hour ago, so fingers crossed, when the movie's done, so will be my phone charge.

The odd thing is when I put the "bad" battery into the other phone, it booted and read 100% right away. Not really sure what to make of that. I can't be sure which battery has less wear because I bought both phones used, although I have been using the more recent purchase as my daily driver for almost a year and a half now.

Thank you for the ROM clarification too. Hopefully it won't come to that because I have some app data (TextNow conversations) that I would lose if I were to wipe and start over. If there's a way to back up that data up and restore it, I'm unaware of it. Otherwise I'd be more keen to do a wipe and flash.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
You're rooted, wouldn't that get backed up by Titanium Backup? I always do a full backup of all user apps + data with TiBu before any wipe, can also use it to backup/restore system apps and settings, but that's riskier, some things like Bluetooth pairings never seem to work right, and backing up SMS database and restoring never seemed worth it since I use SMS Backup+ to save all my SMS/MMS to an SMS label in gmail.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
I haven't used Titanium Backup since Froyo or Gingerbread, so I honestly don't know if that would pick up the conversation threads. I know they are stored locally because they time out and get archived on TextNow's end and don't appear if I log in elsewhere. I guess I can look into it, making a backup on this phone and trying to restore the app on my other phone. I guess that would be liberating to know because that and a deactivated email account are the only reason I never reflashed a newer ROM on this device. I know things beyond CM11 weren't optimal on the Droid 4, but I would still update to the cm-11-20160815-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip build, which is over a year newer than what I'm on currently. And then I guess going forward, should I get a new phone, I could still carry that data with me if I felt that strongly.
[Motorola Droid 4] K_Meleon:
I had a similar issue with my battery: Completely removing it from the phone seems to fix that issue. At least I can charge to 100% again now.

Regarding your TextNow conversations:

I created a TWRP backup of CM13 to evaluate LineageOS 13. For some reason I can't get that backup working again even in the same slot (stock), but I wanted to restore my Whatsapp conversations. Without booting CM13, I thought everything is lost. I read that Titanium Backup is capable of reading TWRP backups (after I bought the PRO version) and indeed: I was able to import my TWRP backup, selected Whatsapp for restoring and all the conversations were restored even without performing the verification again. Important for making it work is that WhatsApp is installed BEFORE restoring the data. I even didn't need to reboot. Great tool! So, if you create a backup of TextNow, it can restore everything I guess.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
It ended up being the charging port on the phone. It's probably tweaked in some way and doesn't get a good connection with charging cables anymore. I swapped the battery with my other Droid 4 and it still did the same thing. Tried different cables and usb blocks, but it still either doesn't charge or says it's charging and the power goes down over time.

I did a backup of TextNow with Titanium Backup and restored the app and data to the new Droid 4 running Lineage OS 13. First restore just got the app and I had to log into my account. Then I restored again over that and it made me log in again, but this time all of my text threads were there in their complete form. So glad I know that's capable.

ALSO OF NOTE: Not to take away from the purpose of this thread, but I read about a Moto Mods competition going on over at IndieGoGo. Someone wants to mass produce a physical keyboard attachment for Moto Mods compatible phones. Definitely worth a look.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/physical-keyboard-mod-for-moto-z/x/16227759#/
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Tried the Lineage OS 13 Marshmallow ROM for this phone for the last week or so. Not sure if it's the hardware on the phone, Marshmallow, LOS, or the ROM for this phone, but my battery life is awful and I'm not gonna stay. Kit Kat on this phone was really the most stable thing I had going for over a year.

Is the build titled "cm-11-20160815-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip" from this page of the CM 11 unofficial builds my best bet? Was there a better build or an issue with that build I should avoid?
[Motorola Droid 4] Hummtaro:
I also think CM11 is the best and fastest Rom for this Device.

While both Google, and LineageOS still support KitKat, it would be very nice if you could make a current LinOS 11 Build. :)

Edit:

I've just build a new LineageOS 11 for my Droid 4 with latest patches.

Download is here: Mediafire (Private Mirror)

Build with Uber Toolchain 4.9

Changes from Upstream:

- New LineageOS Bootanimation

- Can be installed to Safe slot (Info & Source)

- Localized keypad layouts from XT897 (Source)

If you are on GSM Network, you still need the GSM Patch.

If you want to use Xposed, you need to flash this fix and use this Xposed Installer.

If you have problems with AOSP Keyboard and Gestureinput flash this fix after gapps.

Thanks ^-^
[Motorola Droid 4] mp107:
[MENTION=4688464]Hummtaro[/MENTION]

Thank you for your work.

I also find CM11 the best for Droid 4 mostly due to its lightness and speed.

I would like to build the LineageOS11 on my own.

Is the source code (including your changes) available somewhere?
