new firmware

apparently is it recommended that we apply the firmware does any one know how to do this.

or rather which parts of the ota we need to fast boot flash.

here is the ota

Probably just radio.img which is often referred to as firmware.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
i have seen some stuff on google saying the rcdata.img is also important. that's where my concern comes
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ittybittyspider:
I love CM11, and once I got it to work with Pageplus it was awesome. Unfortunately, now I'm switching to t-mobile, and I wanted to keep my phone and have 3g (3g is impossible on t-mobile with stock) but CM11 appears to be unable to use the t-mobile sim card. It keeps trying to use the old Pageplus number, MIN, and PRL stuff instead of using the sim card. This may be enough to finally drive me to sell my inc4g and get something more suited to t-mobile :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
no nightly today 1/28
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
I just flashed CM11 for the first time on the new 1/27 build. I have only encountered a couple issues that have been killing me, it is a good possibility that these issues are on my end and not the ROM.

1) Anytime I am on the phone, the screen goes completely black until the phone call has ended. Head phones so far has been the only solution to this for me.

2) I cannot get WiFi to connect to save my life.

I had both of these issues in previous CM10.2 builds, so I am starting to think that it is CM just not getting along with my phone. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] durgis:
There were other reports of this, I believe there was an app to calibrate the face sensor. A search through the 10.2 and/or 11 threads should give a solution.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
Thanks, the screen is a minor issue compared to the WiFi. Thanks for the info and feedback, much appreciated
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
Actually I believe the screen going blank is normal. It's to prevent ears from selecting things on the screen. Stock phones do it to.

Wifi should work. I ran the 1/27 for two days with no wifi problems. I moved on the 1/29 this morning.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] durgis:
My wife has issues as well at home with our att two wire router. There must be something up, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
I did a full wipe for the 01/27 build and had no WiFi, then I proceeded to do another clean wipe and try flashing the Snapshot M2. I didn't flash GAPPS, I just flashed the ROM by itself and still had the same issues on both versions. Really love the CM11 look though, hopefully I can get the WiFi figured out. Any help or suggestions are always much appreciated
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
Have you tried your wifi at another location? Like a *$ coffee place. If both you any your wife are having issues, it might be a problem with your router.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
I tried it on my home router, no wifi on both m2 snapshot & 1/27. I restored a viper nandroid and the wifi worked instantly. I am starting to think it has something to do with my phone and CM. Like i previously posted, i had these same issues on some 10.2 nightlies and the two CM11 nightlies that i flashed. Did a clean wipe with the cmw recovery that is in the unofficial cm11 dev thread.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
anone having trouble moving user apps to system

i have a cuple of apps that i have moved ot system in the past because they were BIG, updated rearely and always needed.

wiht the newest nightly I have been unable ot integrate anything int ote h rom wiht titanuim back up OR moving apps to system with solid explorer

2/03

any ideas
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] chupajr:
I've had wifi issues where it would not seem to connect unless I rebooted, at which point it would connect smoothly.

So, maybe a dumb question, but did you try rebooting before flashing back to Viper?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
cratign system apps

I have had trouble getting apps to become system apps

cant move them with titanium

if I move them manually with solid explorer and fix permissions to 777 the just forces close

if i move an app that i didi not have installed it wont even show up in launcher or apex.

any suggestions
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
I did try a reboot and still no luck. After a clean wipe and a fresh install, if there is any problems with the setup then I usually wipe cache and dalvik in recovery. Unfortunately that didn't work on both CM10.2 and CM11.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] badducchio:
I had the same issue when flashing my wife's phone. Check the date on the kernel version and make sure it matches up with the nightly you flashed. I fixed it by forcing the boot.img file to the phone. Weird thing is we have the same exact phone, mine is fine but I have to force it on her's every time.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
You just pushed the boot.img to the phone and the wifi worked after?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] badducchio:
Yes, via fastboot
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
Great! I am going to do a fresh flash now and see if that can get my wifi going. Would you by chance be able to point in the right direction for the correct GAPPS for CM11. I have an old GAPPS I think and I don't want there to be any possibility of anything going wrong
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] badducchio:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
I've been on CM11 since almost the beginning and have had very good results with it. I update to nightlies all the time and have the runtime in ART with no problems. These guys are awesome for bringing our phone kitkat.

Only one issue I have is that when I BT sync to my car it no longer displays the artist and title of the song. Also when I answer a call I have to manually press play again. It used to work great on 10.2 so I wasn't sure if there was a problem they can't iron out or maybe they're not aware of it. I've been checking thread after thread but I haven't seen any mention of it. Is it just me?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] greatquux:
It's not just you - problem for me as well. Open bug here CYAN-3154 (can't link Cyanogenmod JIRA yet). not much movement on it though, I keep checking on it. Hopefully will be fixed soon, surely before 11 is stable.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
I have the problem too. Pandora locks up after a call. It did work under 10.2.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] scottyb96:
Does anybody know who is the maintainer? Matt Mower was in charge up until the release of CM11.

CM11 works great so far with a couple of issues: The battery life is considerably worse than CM10.2, and the screen takes too long to come on when prompted.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
Matt Mower is still the maintainer. Occasionally he's on the CM forum.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Is that the general consensus about the battery life on CM 11? I'm still running CM10.2 and even that was a step down from stock for battery life...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
Honestly, I have extended battery and the life sucks. I've disabled just about everything I can and its still eating battery, but I don't it's really CM11 since all KitKat users seem to be experience heavy drains.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sum Dumb Guy:
At first my battery would only last half a day at best. Look at your battery stats, what is the largest drain? Mine was Google Services with a drain that was larger than my Screen usage. After I disabled Google Location Reporting the google Services dropped down to about 4%. Since then my battery life has been acceptable. Very similar to 10.2 performance.

I think the only better battery life I've had was when Mower made an underclock kernel in the early CM10s. Anyone know how to underclock? I think the lowest clock was reduced from 384 to 192.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] chupajr:
My battery life has been pretty good. On 10.2 I had to charge mid-day or it would be dead by 8pm, now I don't quite have to, it makes it until I go to sleep a couple of hours later than that.

However, I'm really not pleased with the wifi. I have to reboot the phone half the time to get it to connect at a different location (e.g. Returning home). It's getting annoying enough that I'm thinking of going back to 10.2.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
I switched to the new firmware and I noticed about a 12% increase over previous days.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sum Dumb Guy:
Recent Nightly Call Problem

I updated to the 2/15 nightly and started having call issues. I can make and receive calls but as soon as i'm connected the screen goes black without any way to return to the active call. The only thing I've been able to do is wait for the other side to hang up and after about 10-20 seconds I'll have controll of the display again. I installed the 2/18 nightly with the same issue. Anyone else experience this or am I just fubar?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
I updated to M3 on the 10th and haven't had any issues with the screen. WIFI is still hit and miss but it's a little better since I replaced the router at home.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
I found my touch screen didn't work on 2-28. Flashed back to 2-27

I looked at the release note, doesn't look like there was anything in 2-28, different form 2-27, that should have caused issues. I am giving it a second try.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
i am having trouble gettign lte to work at all on thenightlies.

the nightlies have manymore options htanthe snapshot.

if you are on verizon and on the nightly and have lte working what settings are you using
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
So battery life has been less then desirable, around 10-15% loss per hour according to GSAM. It also reported that Google Play Services was creating 800-1000 wakelocks per 12 hour time span.

Something had to give, and it wasn't going to be this rom. After a ton of researching and digging through the internet for days, I found the answer.

1) Goto "Settings"

2) Under PERSONAL goto "Privacy"

3) Goto "Privacy Guard"

4) Under the 3 dot/settings menu goto "Advanced"

5) Scroll to "Google Play Services" and select it

6) Scroll down to "Wake up" and switch to "Off"

7) Scroll down to "Keep awake" and switch to "Off"

Repeat this process with any other apps you see fit. If you notice anything weird, just re-enable.

With heavy phone use, I'm down to 6-6.5% per hour of battery drain now. Tomorrow is a normally lite phone day, so hopefully I can see an even lower percentage!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
nice find ... would be interested to know, how batt-drain is for you on CM11 with wifi-on ... at home (overnight!) ... at least for comparison, the ViperLTE-rom with joses Infernal-Kernel manages with wifi-on & screen-off (__and "deep-sleep"__ for the cpu @ screen-off) to reach an incredible 0.6-0.9% / hr! Yep, less than 1% w/o usage at best ... otherwise about around 2% on _very light_ usage during the day. just unfortunately there (still?!) is no Infernal-Kernel for neither CM10.2 or CM11 ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
Do you have location services set to device only? High accuracy the Wi-Fi was sucking my battery dry in no time so far today I'm about 6-7% per hour, light use, half of it due to screen on time.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
plz remember that Infernal-Kernel ... is (still) only _ICS-Sense_ & therefore no advanced location service settings (but google-location-services are _enabled_) oh ... and my screen-time is also much lower than 50% ... but still with a good custom kernel (see notice below) those 6-7% should drop to about 3-4% ;) with your usage, i'd assume

but when i compared the kernel-sources from Infernal-ICS (Sense) ... & ... CM10.2 (and a bunch of non-HTC msm8960) kernel trees on github, i noticed that the official lowest "STBY_KHZ, QSB" == 192MHz setting is completely missing in the CM branch for HTC, their minimum is 394 only (which consumes way more juice than 192 from my experience)

;););) likewise in general: what we miss for our fireball ... is a GOOD Custom CM-Kernel ... with UnderVolting, 192MHz-standby ... and possibly OC a bit further than regular 1512, maybe up to 1674 as it should be stable just fine w/o raising the core-voltage to much (from my Infernal-Kernel experiences) ... and possibly even add the slight "bus-OC" (to BW_MBPS(4264) = 533MHz) as it was also done and stable in Infernal whereas stock is at (BW_MBPS(3936) = 492MHz) ;););)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
On my low day it was around 4.5%. I should point out this is with mobile data and GPS always on.

I'm getting a ton of kernal wakelocks that I want to figure out why. It accounts for three hours of on time. :eek:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
okay, GPS _always on_ sure uses a _lot_ of batt ... still i don't know why CM removed the low 192MHz cpu_freq from their recent HTC-kernels! dunno if that's a 3.4.x kernel thing or not? (as at least the CM10 / 3.0.x-kernels still used that "STBY_KHZ, QSB" setting)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
For what is worth. My phone's battery life is fine on CM11. It runs down to about 50% by the time I put it on the charger at night. I haven't see much difference on any Rom.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
I'll try a day of GPS off.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] scottyb96:
Tried this and my battery has improved DRASTICALLY. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Guys, I am trying to update my phone from Android 4.3 to 4.4 and want to know which nightly is the most stable. Any suggestions?

Also I've been off the radar for a long time. Why did mdmower quit developing for this phone? Anyone know?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
I'd go with the snapshots. I'm on M4 and M5 should be coming out in a couple of weeks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:

Weird, I don't have any of the issues that you guys have.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
Can you give some details on your setup? You posted in the tiKtaK thread and here what are you actually running?

Do you have some moved to SD?

Do you have any idea what is causing the crashes/reboots?

Incredible 4g CM11 losing network data

My second day using CM11 m5 . I left the house on way to work and I had no data connection. The network indicator also was red instead of the normal white. Couldn't find anything about the red indicator as to what it means.

I tried turning on and off airplane mode, tried pressing the network indicator button to turn data on and off. I even rebooted my phone, but still had no data connection. I could still make calls and send text messages.

Anyone else have the same issue?

Hopefully this is the right spot, if not could someone point me in the right direction.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
I had the same issue a couple of nightlies before M5. I toggled the 4G LTE off and on and it started working again but my problem was that my icon never even turned red so I didn't know I had lost network until I tried to use something. I ended up going back to 10.2.1 for a while.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
No issues here on M5.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
I don't think so but I was running KK successfully for quite some time. Since nearly the beginning for our device. It was just the last week or so of nightlies that started doing that. So I just installed one of my backups. No biggie.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] skycommander+:
I did when I went from stock to 10.2. But I went from 10.2 to 11 and had set it previously so didn't think much about it.

Once I was able to get data back by toggleing data on and off. Couldn't get it to work today with many different combinations of data on/off , airplane on/off, reboot, etc...

Data starts working (turns white) when I connect to wifi as well.

Update:

I changed the APNs from Verizon to LTE -Verizon Internet and data seems to be working better. I have no idea if I should be messing with that setting. Oddly I cannot use the Verizon app and can't get to Verizon webpage with this setting though xda and Google both work.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
Anyone else having issues with CM updater. Mine can't connect. It gives a warning to check my internet connection. I have internet connectivity.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
I don't use it on my inc4g but my wife's Nook HD was having issues the other day, it might be due to CM's servers going down the other day.

CM Updater is working for me now.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TeChNoC4AzY:
I'm using the nightly latest one updated yesterday and I love it. This Rom is the best ever. 4.4.2 fianilly!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] breneez:
I've bricked (QHSUSB_DLOAD) 2 fireballs now, so I thought I should post my experience.

My original was on CM 10.2, TWRP and S-OFF. I RRU'd back to stock, which worked fine, then during the OTA update it rebooted and never came back.

So I ebay'd a refurb and lasted about 48 hours with the stock environment (with the OTA update) before getting annoyed enough to try getting CM 11 again.

1. Temp root via mdmower's script, check

2. rumrunner S-OFF, check (though it took about 6 tries across 2 computers)

3. DirtyRacun's HBOOT, check

4. CWM 6.0.4.6 flash, check

5. CM 11 (and gapps-kk) flash round 1, check

CM11 was up and running, but I noticed it still had previously installed apps on it and was kinda laggy; my bad for not resetting before flashing CM. Formatted the SD card before starting again because I wanted to ensure a completely clean start.

6. Factory reset and clear cache via CWM

7. Push new copies of CM 11 and gapps

8. Install CM 11 and gapps via CWM

9. Reboot

10. Dead

I'm no expert, but I've been through several flashes on my old dinc1, my original fireball, and an Asus tf700 without ever having any problems. The only deviance from the instructions I can think of is that I pushed the CM11 and gapps files to /storage/sdcard1 instead of just /sdcard. It worked in step 5, so I figured it wasn't a problem.

Anyone got a JTAG they want to rent out?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
I've flashed stuff from sdcard1. Never had a problem. Are you sure you have the right gapps that go with the rom.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] breneez:
Gapps were the CM 11 ones from the CM wiki, followed link from the CM instructions for the fireball. I'd include a link, but...you know.

Can a bad gapps package really brick a phone this hard?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
No the wrong gapps shouldn't hard brick a phone. I have flashed the wrong gapps with a rom. It wasn't very happy about it.

Can you get into recovery (from off) using the power and volume down buttons?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] breneez:
No we're talking full on QHSUSB_DLOAD brick, no indicator light on AC power, no recognition of the partitions when plugged into USB, just the modem.

Maybe a bad push of the CM 11 zip the second time? I didn't verify the md5 of the zip after it had been pushed to the device. I didn't think CWM would be able to touch anything that could kill the bootloader?

Not really hoping for a solution, just education.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
New recoveries required for anything based after 5/1.

Here are the details.
