ndd53 - You might want to try moving up to the official builds, or even the M4 stable candidate they released over the weekend. They are all updated more than the unofficial builds at this point as Stargo has moved up to be an official dev for CM11 on our device.

That being said, as of today's nightly, 3/11, my phone has been reporting that it's roaming a lot more. I figure it has something to do with this change:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/60803/

I do have service, and do show LTE signal, but on the notification blind it says "roaming indicator off" instead of the usual "Verizon Wireless." On some other devices, after the change above, they also merged this change, but not for our tree. Is this something that should get merged into our omap4 tree or is it unnecessary?

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/60945/

I probably wouldn't care if there was still the option for setting a custom banner like CM7 had...that and as long as the phone holds onto a data connection and doesn't charge me roaming fees :)
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Thanks for the info. I'm not on Verizon, so I can't test that, but I will make a test-build tomorrow including the eri stuff and post it here. If it works for you, I'll push the eri changes into device/motorola/omap4-common.

Thanks & Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Ok, test-build with the eri-changes is up at: http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/test/

Please test this and tell me if it fixes the roaming-indicator. Change included in this build: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/61010/

EDIT: Oops, just noticed that this build also contains some unstable WIP USB-changes. So please just test if this fixes the roaming stuff and then flash back your old image.

EDIT2: Updated the build with even more WIP USB changes. It would be interesting if LTE still works for people on verizon after using this build for an hour or two.

EDIT3: USB still broken...

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Hi, so including that change into the build does seem to fix the roaming banner to properly display Verizon Wireless now. However, yesterday's nightly, 3/11, did hang onto LTE signal just fine, it just never listed what network it was on. As for WIP USB stuff, I dunno, I'm going back to the 3/11 build rather than notice instabilities. That and I guess my download for your second build didn't work cuz it refused to flash.
[Motorola Droid 4] santamanga:
Im on an older testbuild. Today I noticed, usb mass storage had come back to cm11. When did that happen? mtp was so annoying on linux. ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

Thanks for testing, will push the change now. I think I've also found the USB bug I was hunting (at the wrong place), so let's hope the next nightly will be good :)

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
Stargo: Thanks for all you hard work on this rom, it's fantastic.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Thanks :)

Warning: today's nightly (20140313) is broken by some framework/av changes and will bootloop!

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Thanks for the heads up. I was just getting ready to download. Will wait for your word that its good. U da man Michael!
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
hahaha, should have checked here before I flashed it...after leaving it booting for ages I flashed back the 3/11 nightly for now :)
[Motorola Droid 4] ndd53:
excellent! the M4 release seems to have fixed the issue.

this may be a dumb question, but what's the difference between the nightlies at http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/maserati/ and the nightlies from download.cyanogenmod.org?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
20140314 should be good again.

EDIT: Build is up, it is working fine again :)

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Since yesterdays build, text message notification doesn't go away unless I clear notifications or select it from notification drawer
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
A bevy of paper cuts.

Hey Folks,

First of all, Michael, thank you again. I speak for many that are silent when I say that I appreciate your time and effort. Truly a herculean effort and a job well done. You should be proud of the amount of happiness you have given to others.

A question for you? Could you put the original symbols grid back into the ROM and push it forward? I can't fathom anyone would mind having more options instead of less. I used it often, and others have mentioned it as well.

For anyone that wants to chime in:

1) CyanDelta: Sometimes it doesn't actually reboot, so I have to do it manually. It always says it fails with something like "E:binary updater cannot be found..." or some such thing, but when I reboot into system, the phone will "Android is upgrading" some 200 things, it boots normally, and CyanDelta says all is well and do I want to delete .zip thankyouverymuch? Is this actually working to install the latest nightlies? Or should I go back to doing it manually? However, even when I did use the nightlies manually, I'm pretty sure the behaviour was the same, plus a nice Failed.

2) If the power gets down under about 5% or so, forget plugging it and and rebooting it. It's going to take me 10 times to get the phone to boot, instead of just showing me the (erroneous) battery charge level before shutting down again. When it does boot, it's like I did a factory reset, and I have to restore my back up in Safestrap 3.65. What is going on there?

3) With the advent of the official nightlies, it doesn't matter which SMS app I use (either Contacts+ or Handcent) the stock messaging app notification appears with 800+ "unread" messages. I can open it, touch "Mark all read," and let it sit for a few and the notification won't ever disappear. I can clear it of course, but it comes right back. I usually end up just force closing it, and all is well. Seems odd.

4) Finally, we've gone a while with ART vs. Dalvik. Would you guys like to chime in with whether you use ART or Dalvik, which Gapps you use, and any positive or negative reviews? Anyone found a ART/Gapps that doesn't result in a constant barrage of force closes?

Any thoughts anyone? Thank you all in advance.

Michael, once again, thank you.

Kind regards,

Rush
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Pagapps mini modular works beautifully with ART. I switched back to dalvik because every time I updates it would take 20 minutes to update files and for some reason my free full version of Pandora didn't work with ART
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

Sorry, which symbol-grid do you mean? Where was it present? KK Launcher 3 or Trebuchet 10.2?

I assume his happens if you upgraded from older Safestrap releases without hitting uninstall in the old version. It doesn't happen for me, I can let the battery drain completely and after plugging the phone in, everything is fine...

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Gracias.

When you hit the [SYM] button on the keyboard, the symbol grid full of choices would pop up on the screen. It was in the stock ROM, and at some point CM weaned it way down.

Good point, and possible. Do you think uninstalling SS and reinstalling it would work?

Thanks again,

Rush

SMS notifications are still not going away

Notification Sound

Hi all! First of all thanks so much for the hard work on this rom. I really do like the look and feel of cm11 and am a long time fan of CM as a whole. That being said, I am experiencing a funny issue which I have not read much about in my searching on this thread and have been trying to fix it all day. I did find a post about it for CM11 on a different device but it was not helpful as the work around did not work. My apologies if this has been explained previously but I really did search and I am simply running out of time. I have my phone on either silent or vibrate but the notifications still have audio. I have selected the tone that makes the least amount of noise for now and as I am not seeing any posts about ti so far, I am guessing I am the only maserati user that is experiencing this. I am currently on the 0317 nightly as I thought maybe updating would fix it but ti not. I have not tried fixing permissions which I will try in a moment but I figured I would post this in the hopes that a simple fix is available. I cannot have my phone making noise during business hours and would rather not have to keep it on airplane mode. Thanks in advance and again I apologize if this has been addressed. I really did search before posting.

EDIT: I discovered a couple settings in the sound options that link the sms and ringer volume and also the silences for both individually. Its working now. I don't know why I didn't see it before unless it was part of a recent update... idk... I have moments of durp.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Since I updated to the 17.03.2014 nightly, my WiFi switches on after a reboot (even if it was off before I rebooted).

There is also something weired with PIN-unlock for the lock screen. After booting up, I have to enter the PIN for my SIM card (GSM), which seems to work as expected. But instead of showing the PIN-unlock for the lockscreen afterwards, the SIM PIN-unlock remains and doesn't do anything (I can't even input numbers). I have to switch the screen off and on again, to see the lockscreen PIN-unlock.

Apart from that (and the lack of internal/external memory swap ;) ), the ROM seems to work very well, thanks! :D
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
No build today yet, but on yesterday's, 3/19, build (and really for a few weeks now since I stopped using Hotplug as my governor) I feel like the Interactive governor rarely scales up to 1200mHz and more likely sits at 300mHz and 600mHz. I have yet to really see it get up to 1200, and the phone totally feels sluggish at times. I fear that using Performance will just lock it at 1200mHz always and suck up more battery...is there a better governor to use, or even others that work well with our device that can be installed? What is everyone else using and how has it been working out for you?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
More/better/different governors would be interesting. But how would that work anyways? I thought governors come with kernels and we cannot change the kernel since the bootloader on our Droid 4 is locked? Or did I get this completely wrong?

Personally, I think "interactive" works nicely and my phone feels smooth and responsive. In contrast, "ondemand" feels extremely sluggish and i switched back to "interactive" immediately.
[Motorola Droid 4] The_Joe:
I had this issue back in December and found that if I moved my install out of the stock slot it worked much better, despite many people running in the stock slot no problem.

Hope that helps.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Hmm, that's interesting since I haven't really experienced any of those issues and mine is in the stock slot. The CM Delta totally downloads updates, checks their sum and then, when I tell it to reboot and install, it does just fine. I also have not experienced any SMS issues like that, so it also may just be that a fresh install is in order and fixes any weird issues that crop up during upgrading dozens of times.

I see they are seemingly trying to put back in HDMI functionality on this ROM, is that really going to work once the next nightly is built or will it require that we also use an alternate kernel?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
lucize did a great job implementing HDMI and his work is merged into the CM kernel. So once the nightlies can be added to the database again, you should have working HDMI :)

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] The_Joe:
My problem is not common, and only happened if the battery was allowed to run dead. It didnt matter if I had a fresh install or not. Switched to Rom Slot 1 and it has been great since!

I only posted this because another user seemed to be having the same problem.

[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
I just flashed a build from today. The Wifi won't stay off. It turns itself right back on after 10 seconds, no way to disable it. It even stays on when I enable airplane mode. Anyone else seeing this issue? I'm going back to an older build for now.
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
Should USB sticks work with this rom, via OTG with powered Y-cable?
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'm on today's (3/21) amazing build that is running better than ever before on my phone. Everything feels fast and WiFi is remaining off, even after toggling airplane mode, at least for me. You should try it, yesterday's might have had something weird, or you may need to fix permissions in recovery after updating.

As for my concern that Interactive wasn't ramping up to 1200 Mhz yesterday, it seems to be working again fine today and I'm seeing the CPU at 1200 mHz at least some of the time, so yay! I'll test out HDMI when I'm home later and report back...
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
I downloaded the 20140321 nightly from cmxlog.com, and I still have WiFi activated after a reboot. In contrast to joojoobee666 it stays deactivated once I switch it off.

Hope that Bluetooth will be fixed soon.
[Motorola Droid 4] mifritscher:
I can confirm that HDMI is working yust fine :) :) :) It's in the clone mode - as I would expect.

Btw, is there a guide to access sound from a chroot? I bind-mounted /dev, and alsamixer does see the mixer with its 50+ settings, but sound isn't working. That is the last missing stone to use the Droid 4 for running loads of linux-games like widelands, simutrans and so on (ie. all games without openGL needs):) :)

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Hmmm. Still the same problem from a build from yesterday. I tried fix perms, no dice. I'll try on a clean rom slot and see what I get.

Have u guys having the WiFi issue ran the terminal emulator and ran wifical.sh?

Stock rom slot

Hi,

I read through the pages and saw that some people are reporting success installing this rom on the stock rom slot, I have been trying to do the same but it just fails to boot for me. Is there some special settings on safestrap needed in order to make this rom work on the stock rom slot?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Nope. Just make sure u wipe the usual.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Yes, whipe everything except SD cards and you are ready to go. And make sure that you are using the latest safestrap ...
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
So on the 3/23 nightly has anyone else noticed that the screen time out setting is not being respected or is it just me? I set it to 30 seconds, which is how it's always been set, but now, after 30 seconds, the screen only dims partially and never actually turns off. It'll just sit there in the dim state eternally. The power button properly turns the screen off and wakes it up, but if I just place the phone down, without pressing power first, it'll sit there dim.

EDIT: after rebooting (and fixing permissions for good measure) it seems to turn itself off after dimming again...so no idea what was going on there. oh well
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
I'm facing the same problem, did you fixed it somehow ? tried all gps "fix" apps, let it under clear sky for about 30 min and no fix neither in stock nor in cm, updated st gps drivers from kernel 3.4 with no avail.

google maps is working, I think is using a-gps

full sbf should fix this ?
[Motorola Droid 4] liftman-:
never got it fix, went all the way back to complete stock. i think that part of that chip is fffffffff
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
I don't remember when exactly I lost it, but gps is part of bluetooth and wifi chip it shouldn't get bad if the rest of things are working. maybe I damaged the antenna when I changed the battery but it shouldn't have happened.

edit:

so you didn't do a full sbf ?
[Motorola Droid 4] liftman-:
not unusual for a chip to lose some functionality, see it at work alot.

but if you find anything let me know please.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
used rsd lite to write full sbf from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/

http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00033/rLK/RSDLite_v6.1.4.zip

now I have gps fix in stock, after root and safestrap I'm sure it will work in cm11 too

regards
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
no device wipe was necessary, so if you have something on stock you can keep it.

edit:

so it was necessary to wipe data because /data/logger folder was present and couldn't root, if rsd the phone, try erasing the folder before so you could root without a factory reset
[Motorola Droid 4] liftman-:
im using linux so bear with me plz

the link to the sbf files have only zips, am i supposed to change the zip to sbf. no sbf in the zip.

sorry if that is a dumb question.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
sbf is just an old term for firmware, motorola has not used .sbf files since droid X2

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

do not change file name to .sbf

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

the new file format is .xml

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

not sure if there is a way to flash xml files in linux
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
you have to use rsd from motorola, I don't think there is an app for linux, there are some apps but I strongly encourage you to find a windows machine (it's very easy to use), anyway I don't think that the device can be bricked because of locked bootloader

the file should be unzipped by the rsd, but maybe you can flash partitions using fastboot app, but you need to know what to write and where to write.

maybe you can follow this thread

[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I finally took the plunge and installed this on a spare D4 - it's time to decide if there's still life in this phone yet, or whether it's time to move on.

I have to say, I'm impressed so far at how well it functions.

One issue I have notice it that it doesn't seem to notice when it is in a multimedia dock - is there a fix for this? I just want it to rotate the screen, and push the audio out through the usb connector.

Cheers,

Hi,

It's not implemented and I can't get a multimedia dock for the phone here in europe to fix it. :(

And thanks for your great Rom. its very good :)

I have the RAZR dock. I'll see if I can find it in my storage room and try it out. Will report back asap
[Motorola Droid 4] noleng:
i see you were offered one from someone already.

should this not work out.. though i am in canada. I do have an extra stock motorola car dock for the droid 4.. and the usb attachment.. though you prbably have many of these cables anyway. should you still need one.. send me a pm and we can figure out the next step. regards.

It's already in the mail, so hopefully he won't have to take you up on your offer unless they manage to lose it en route!

[Motorola Droid 4] noleng:
I figured.. great.. i do wonder if a different dock display loads depending on the dock it sits in.. Anyhow.. I can't wait to see this in action.

Update: The Motorola ESP Technology allows custimizing and I think its done with the difference in the resistance in the USB on each dock. Magnets were on my droid 1 but I think they had issues with cases that used magnets to keep the cases closed sometimes caused the screen to wake thinking it was placed in a dock. I did take mine out of the car dock on the droid1. They sure are strong for how tiny they are.

I also have a wireless charging battery cover and charger, which i wonder if it uses the same method. (The charger is the LG one)

[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
anyone else having data issues lately? My phone will show bars of LTE, but then nothing works, the browser says no connection. Under APNs it'll be set to something that is not Verizon Internet LTE, though setting it to that seems to eventually bring back the data connection... it's less reliable than it has been at least for the past couple of days
[Motorola Droid 4] 3diord:
Data has been spotty for me. LTE does say Verizon, but its not very reliable. Took many tries to get a successful speedtest to go through. Just installed latest nightly, will see if that has problems.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Bluetooth issues?

I'm using the release from the 29th, and I'm finding that the phone seems reluctant to auto-connect to Bluetooth devices. Sometimes, if it does, then it might say "no phone", or "no audio" when only one profile connects properly. I just tried to connect to my Bluetooth head unit in the car, and it didn't seem to want to do it automatically, and took a few attempts to connect manually.

Am I just being impatient, or are other people finding that connections aren't being made quickly/at all?

Cheers,

Steve.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
I am still on the build from the 21st and I thought that Bluetooth was completely broken in recent builds. Mine force closes and I didn't see any fixes in the changelogs ...
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
for me, when I trash it, only a clean slot would fix the bluetooth.

regards
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
But on the recent builds my bluetooth DOES work. It may take a second or two longer to connect than you expect, but I use a bluetooth headset and speaker and it has worked without much issue. But I never turn bt off either, just my devices before waiting to connect.

Data connection seems better with the added APNs yesterday :)
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Good to know that Bluetooth works. I wouldn't be surprised if I messed it up myself by freezing one too many of the apps that come with CM or if I blocked something with XPrivacy ... (also, I have CM installed in the stock slot, although I couldn't imagine why this would break anything)
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'm also running in the Stock Slot right now, and have not noticed as single issue or difference compared to Slot 1, except more free space on the internal memory without the extra partitions and backups. The Bluetooth is certainly slower at reconnecting, but it totally does get there. You can also go into the Bluetooth settings yourself and force it to pair up with a device in range by tapping on the saved device, if you're impatient ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Yes, but it doesn't happen regularly. Have you found a solution?

[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I guess I might just be a numpty, but is there an easy way to update the ROM without losing all the apps/data/settings? I've got Titanium backup, and that presumably could restore apps and data, but I'm always concerned that restoring everything could undo some ROM changes - is there an option to perform an in-place upgrade that I don't know about that won't lose my settings?
