I'm using CM11 M12 for about month, and I haven't noticed any problem. All is fast and stable, like the stock rom. I'm using original kernel, because with new 3.0.31 kernel I have some problem with GSM data.
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
According to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59678034#post59678034, on March 21st there was a commit to CM11 resolving wakelock problems with Play Services. Could you, [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION], please make one last current build of CM11 for Droid 4? Or someone else who knows how to do it of course :) Thanks a lot!
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Try this one here, no time to test. http://droid.cs.fau.de/jjb666/cm11/
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
is this a clean bluid ? for me it's not booting, it remains at black screen, maybe is because of my kernel mods

I'm building one right now (the snapshot, not the nightly version) and i'll come back.

Regards
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Didn't boot for me either, no kernel mod, slot 1
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Yeah, I synced repo and cleaned out, nothing special at all about it. Stock cm11 nightly. I'm rebuilding now and I have a small amount of time to test. Maybe another rebuild will do the trick. I'll test before I upload again now that I have some additional time, unless somebody beats me to it :)
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Rebuild went fine, tested and booted. Same link, same files, they have just been overwritten is all. :good:

Not sure what happened earlier. :eek:
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I'll rebuild for all 4 devices and upload. I'll start the build now so it should be ready tomorrow morning, when I'll be uploading it (after testing it on my d4).

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
you could make a cm11 kernel with OC to 1300MHz?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
i would also be interested in an OC kernel for cm11 up to 1.4 if possible
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
The builds are now available from: http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
I think it'd be worth putting this link to the original post :)
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
I have not made any for CM11, nor will I be able to for a few days. However, I do believe the JBX RAZR kernels should work so you should give those a shot. If they do not, let me know. I will create a cm11 OC kernel once I have some availability.
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
The JBX kernel when you change the frequency to 1300MHz for example, he constantly changes the frequency to 1000Mhz, leaving the phone very slow. If you can make a custom kernel with the OC, it would be very interesting even if we have to wait, do not mind waiting. Thank U.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
i tried the jbx razr kernel but it would get stuck on the black screen before the CM logo appears so i just kinda gave up at the time. trickster mod was also very annoying and wouldnt work after the first time i launched it as in i only had 1 chance to run the app after rebooting and if i closed it after that the app would simply crash until i rebooted again.

im using the latest kernel lucize released and it still changes back to 1000MHz every now and then but i noticed that it usually only happens when the phone is running hot
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

I've just updated the first post, added a small changelog for the new build and fixed gapps-links.

There will be another build including this shortly.

Can I flash latest build over CM11 M12 or wipe is needed? Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

No need to wipe, just flash it.

Cheers,

[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Has the build on your site here been updated with the fixes you mentioned? And what are the differences between the "spyder" and "targa" builds there? Are these builds updated nightlies or updated Milestone builds?

I'm running a Nightly from January 25th, so I'm just making sure this would definitely be an upgrade.

[Motorola Droid 4] o8o.o0880o.o8o:
Hey, I was wondering what build is the most stable for my Droid 4 and what is the best mini gapps? I read PA GApps was the best, but no mirrors. I gave a friend my old Droid 4 but the thing is all but useless even after debloating it so I plan on overwriting the Stock ROM slot but don't want to mess it up lol.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
What do you mean no mirrors to PA gapps?

Several direct links in my list, and links to other threads with more.

sd_shadow's [Collection] of GApps
[Motorola Droid 4] o8o.o0880o.o8o:
I ended up finding the PA GApps on a different site but I'll try one of your sets. Any suggestions on the most stable build?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I suggest the latest on stargo's site
[Motorola Droid 4] o8o.o0880o.o8o:
Cool. Once gapps finishes downloading I'll give it a shot.

Reboot to recovery

Hello! I am not a developer, but as for me an option "Reboot to recovery" in power off menu is very useful. That option appears after setting "on" in "reboot variants" that we can find in developer options. I have discovered that it doesn't work properly. It turns off very long and doesn't enter to Safestrap. In CM12 it works and enters Safestrap. Fix it if you can, please.

Sorry it's true only if 4.4.4 is installed in safe rom that appears if will you use Mentor's Safestrap
[Motorola Droid 4] Jishkah:
That's odd, actually. I'm running CyanogenMod 11 M12, currently, and I've never had a problem with rebooting into Recovery; it's always worked for me. I don't know what to tell you, there; which version of Safestrap do you have installed?

On an unrelated note - and this is geared towards the audience of the thread, in general - does anybody else have any issues with wireless tethering on M12? My PC and my laptop will both be able to detect the wireless hotspot, but they won't be able to get beyond the "Identifying" phase, and they're stuck with Limited Connectivity. What's odd is that this hasn't always been the case... for example, I tried tethering a friend's laptop to my phone a few months ago, and it worked splendidly. However, since I'm about to hit my data cap on my home Internet, and since I have unlimited data through Verizon, I was trying to tether my PC to my phone... but no dice.

Does anybody else have any issues with tethering?
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
i have no issues using hotspot with cm11 m12 and ive used it for my laptop and droid 3

also used droid 3 as a wifi receiver for my desktop with droid 4's internet

i can say that usb tethering gives me problems occasionally when downloading games from steam. itll suddenly stop working until i unplug usb and start tethering again but this seems to be a windows issue.

have you tried "troubleshooting" the adapter while its on limited connection?

Last 04/05 build best so far for spyder & umts_spyder

[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] I do not have a Droid 4. We are in the XT910 & XT912 thread. But you are very active in this thread so chances are you will see this message. Your last UNOFFICIAL build 04/05 spyder & umts_spyder are very, very good! So slick, fast, almost like you put all the polish and grease back into the rom.

Us Razr members do not get OFFICIAL Builds, only what you put up for us. But wanted to drop in and give you a "collective thanks" on behalf of all the Razr members who have been testing your most recent builds. This last one from April is pretty, ...darned good, I must say! :D

So far with a day of uptime, no problems, no issues, nothing to complain about, and it sure is fast and nice again. Thanks buddy! :good:

EDIT:

I have been running this new 04/05 rom for almost 4 days. Never "needed" to reboot. Never had an app or service fail, I can easily multitask on a 3 year old XT912 with Bluetooth to Car Connect audio, streaming music service to car, address to maps to navigation, and, take or make a call as well as a text message. Yes the phone is "an old dog" but none of this stuff takes an unreasonable amount of time. There have been very,

very few

cm11 roms that can do all this reliably. Last one was November 7th, 2014. This cm-11-20150405-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip is, IMHO, the very *best* rom that you have ever released. Thank you. Thank you very much! :victory:
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
So is the latest on Stargo's site the best performing, most stable version to flash? Is the M12 better (and if so, in terms of what)?

Might be my flash ROM flash for a while as I wait until CM 12 gets more stable and functional (unless anyone has something to say to the contrary).
[Motorola Droid 4] K_Meleon:
Does anyone use an exFAT formatted 64GB SD card with cm11 and Droid 4? I do and the card always worked without any issue in StockROM. Even Safestrap is able to read it without any problem. But the following firmware

droid.cs.fau.de cm-11.0/unofficial/cm-11-20150405-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip and

droid.cs.fau.de cm-11.0/official/cm-11-20150201-NIGHTLY-maserati.zip

seems to have a problem with exFAT!

Can anyone confirm that or is that an issue only on my side?

Thanks for your answer!
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Support for exFAT is not included in the kernel due to licensing problems. Pre 3.75 Safestrap is able to read exFAT, becaus it is using the stock kernel. Your options are to format the card with either FAT32 or Ext3/4.

Michael

Thanks [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] for the 1207 build. Just flashed but everything seems to be running smoothly.

FYI: It looks like the 12/07 build got uploaded to a different directory: http://bork.cs.fau.de/~michael/d4/c11/
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Thanks, I just fixed that. I should really script the uploading, it's too easy to make typos when running rsync...

[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
sweet hopefully one of the builds I can actually get data to work off the bat and stay lol
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I have to admit that I have only a very vague idea what happens when you lose data and currently no idea how to fix it. It seems that your data technology changes to unknown and the phone _thinks_ you no longer have data, even though it still has and could establish a connection...
[Motorola Droid 4] Craptorman:
See here. Not sure if this helps or not. I have NV version of spyder and this is needed (and couple other patches for NV) for me to get 3G and it's rock solid.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Thanks, I'll look into this.

There is already a workaround for this problem in the CdmaLteServiceStateTracker.java, activated by "usevoicetechfordata", but there is at least one more place in this file where it could be needed or it indeed needs also be added to CdmaServiceStateTracker.java from your link.

Thanks,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
well hopefully we can get it figured out like I said it works perfectly on 10.1

HDMI

can you explain what does prevent HDMI to work? :) Droid4 is awesome to show presentations.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
As far as I know, it has to do with the hardware and drivers that specifically run the HDMI port. I don't believe HDMI has ever worked for the D4 on custom ROMs, aside from stock-based ROMs (Eclipse comes to mind).

But that could be all wrong; more knowledgeable people, feel free to correct.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Sorry to ask again but wifi tethering is still borken?. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] The_Joe:
Phone wipes ALL user data when the battery has died.

Love the rom, been running 12/1 for a week. Only problem came in when I used my phone on an air plane, and ran the battery dead. It lost everything! No contacts, none of my sms messages, came back with, "Welcome to CM"

Im running the latest safe-strap, rom is installed in stock slot, and PA Gapps, What did I do wrong?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Should be fixed in the next build.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
This is really strange. I have absolutely no idea, what could cause this to happen after the battery dies. The only even slightly possible thing would be your data-partition getting corrupted when the battery died... But even this should not happen. Sorry :(

The only difference between your setup and mine is, that you installed the rom in the stock slot and I'm always testing in slot-1...
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
I am set up in stock ROM slot and haven't had this issue with losing any data after battery dies. Also I've noticed phone will still work a couple hours at 1% with constant use.... Weird
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

So, after meditating over the patch you mentioned and the CdmaLteServiceStateTracker, I found that the latter does not set the data registration-state when using the voice radio-technology for data. Setting the registration-state seems to have fixed 3G (confirmed by wolf45801). :)

Thanks again for this hint which lead me into the right direction.

I've submitted the fix relevant to CdmaLte-devices at: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55572/

Best regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Thanks stargo. Will see this fix in the next nightly build?

At least it seems that it worked with CM10 and in 1366x768 Mode. But i don't know if this is portable to CM11.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
Does anyone know were to download this CM11 ROM? On the official CM page they only have CM12, which I already got installed. But wanted to compare if CM11 has less bugs than CM12 (especially working ringtones!).

Now, why would anyone? I have my 64Gb microSD for a long time now and used it on different devices (mytouch 4G Slide, Galaxy S4, not Droid 4), but there wasn't a single custom ROM that could read exFAT. So what I did is format it in FAT32, you can do that on a PC with Tools like Minitool Partition Wizard (or any other tool that supports FAT32). That way you're card will always be detected, no matter which device or ROM.

So are (unofficial) updates going to continue on this ROM on a weekly basis (or is that just a coincidence) or just when important changes are published?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Updates are done at stargo's discretion.
[Motorola Droid 4] K_Meleon:
It turned out that it wasn't a driver problem. All cm11 systems couldn't read the sdcard all of a sudden, while the StockROM was able to read it...in the beginning...without any error message. cm11 refused to read it completely. Via "adb shell" I analyzed the dmesg messages in StockROM and saw that there were LOOOOTS of "I/O error" issues reported. Nevertheless I could access the card and copy the data. I formatted the card in Android and now I can use it again. Looks like something destroyed the filesystem or so...

Thanks for your help!

[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] - continuing to give your support to the Droid 4 is much appreciated, with the CM11 builds :)

I hope at some point that a manufacturer decides to go with a new updated keyboard Android phone in the next few years, but the Droid 4 has more than enough power for me for now.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
I made a test using m12 snapshot and my kernel and is working, have you tried on m12 snapshot, didn't test it on standard kernel

ps: I made a local build of m12 with some minor updates as the nightlies for me are unusable.

Regards
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
I'm used to use TAB for autocomplete that is why you see those duplicate lines, on razr you don't have TAB key so..

my version is snapshot m12 plus some updates that made the phone to enter in deep sleep after updates in google play services.

I can't use nightlies because they are locking up when network connectivity is changing, like the phone is trying to get all the internet on it an it will not respond until it does so :) I don't remember when it started bit it used to work on nightlies too.

the kernel can be found in my thread of kernel it should run on razr too(make a backup), but I have on mine a test kernel with minor updates. it has some video updates that were only introduced in cm12.

I don't know if [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] built the latest cm11 nightlies with the new kernel.

the source on that I work can be found here:

[Motorola Droid 4] ST Dog:
Scripts should be supported. Most of the startup process is running scripts.

You need to change the file permissions to be executable, possibly suid too. Or use another tool for running scripts, like SManger.
[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
Thanks Dog. If I cannot get the APM+ Xposed Module's Screen Record feature to work, I might just make a couple of shell scripts for common time lengths. Good looking out! :good:

EDIT:

I wanted to write some shell scripts to use screenrecord as the complete command line is a LOT to remember and type into a terminal with a virtual keyboard. I do use the Advanced Power Menu+ (APM+) Xposed Module and it has a "Screen Record" feature. But tapping the Screen Record in the module instantly locks up my XT912 phone. I have written Kenneth, [MENTION=4414937]kennethso168[/MENTION] the developer and now that I am able to show that screenrecord does work, thanks to [MENTION=4772154]lucize[/MENTION] who walked me through it, Kenneth thinks he has a bug in his code and because the phone locks and reboots, I cannot supply the logs he needs to troubleshoot it. He suggested (requested) that I run adb logcat and send him the raw results so I will try that. It would be nice to have the screenrecord feature available as a tap menu item.

This might help a lot. adb logcat

From a Windows 7 x64 PC:

adb logcat -f <filename>

OR

adb shell

adb logcat -f <filename>

I might need a root shell for this and where would the file be saved to? Give path and file name for Windows PC or path and file name on Android device? Like /sdcard/logcat.txt? :confused:

I have "some" USB adb experience, can run a shell or root shell and a few other things, but not with logcat. Has anyone here done a logcat with adb over USB before? Is that something I can redirect to a text file? I can research and experiment with it, but nothing beats experience if someone here already knows how. Otherwise I will figure this out. Thanks you guys very much for the valuable help. This is a very good thread here at XDA! :)

Gosh, getting a logcat from the Android XT912 device saved to my PC was easy and fun! I had all these questions and it was not hard at all.

I decided to become adb root first, just in case there were permission issues with the log. And I did have to save the logcat.txt file to my PC, not to the Android device. This was so much fun! :D

I am doing this for a reason. I need to get a logcat of what happens when I use the APM+ Screen Record feature where my phone instantly locks up. Guess what? Didn't happen! The Screen Record worked just fine. I even tapped it twice and got two recordings just to see if/why it was not locking up. But, I did get the logcat. Perhaps there is some useful information in there.

I do not mean to waste your time guys. I am happy though for the help I got here and am very pleased to introduce myself to this thread. You are all very intelligent, experienced, helpful, and friendly people in here. A fellow like me can really appreciate something like that. Since you were in from the start, I wanted to share the results of how things went on my logcat over adb adventure, not difficult at all. Nice meeting you folks. Hope to hear from you all again. :)

EDIT:

It turns out that this APM+ module, Screen Record feature *always* works perfectly when a USB cable is connected to a PC. Does not matter if adb is running or not. My preset USB connection mode is Mass Storage (UMS). I could also choose Media Device (MTP) or Camera (PTP). No I have not tried them all. This is not going to get fixed by me. On a fresh note, there is another screen record item in the Power Menu that is white in color, I found this item was added by the GravityBox Xposed Module. That one locks up the phone as well.

General Question:

Has anyone here used the "Screen Record" feature on the Power Menu from Xposed Modules like APM+ or GravityBox, or from any app or addon and does it actually work? Thank you! :confused:

Posting here because I honestly have no idea where else to look for help. I know [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] frequents this thread, so maybe he can help me, but ANYONE that knows anything, please, please, please chime in.

I was using this ROM until yesterday when I ran into an odd issue with performance. My phone slowed down immensely and the apps (Settings, Hangouts, anything really) would FC after minimal use no matter how many reboots I tried. I was unable to boot into Safestrap Recovery and I thought maybe a Dalvik cache clear would help. Instead, I couldn't boot up at all after that, and I tried to start from scratch with an SBF flash.

I got VRZ_XT894_9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-8_CFC.xml.zip from this thread on XDA and flashed it fine.

Now the real issue started. I rooted fine and installed BusyBox, but for whatever reason, I am unable to get SafeStrap to do its thing. I install it fine, but upon running it, I get to 60/100 "Running Installation Script" and then it hangs. No matter how long I leave it, the Recovery will not install.

Because of this, I can't get to the point where I'd install the ROM. If anyone knows anything about what could cause this or another way to get the ROM on my phone, I could really use some help.
