I have same problems with waking up on incoming call, same with alarm clock, I'm on cm11. When I installed cm12 I had different problem, I could not transfer anything from and to SD card, so have to stick with laggy answer of calls for now..
[Motorola Droid 4] nnkovt:
Can anybody help with HDMI resolution on CM12? I have 720p all the time, but I definitely know that my cable and tv supports 1080i (which worked successfully on stock and previous very old versions of CM12)! What happened with HDMI since these builds?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
I have similar problems on CM11, not only with incoming calls but also with Tasker ... or probably anything that is running in the background when the screen is off ...

E.g. to launch my audio player when I plug in headphone, I usually have to switch on the screen. And this is actually a CM option ... have to try and see if Tasker can do that better ... but still, it is supposed to work, otherwise this option wouldn't be there ...

(Apart from that, everything is fine :o)
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
I've read that some people installed CM11 into the stock slot and got it working rightaway (except for HDMI, which would be important for me because of my recently purchased lapdock), does this also work with any version of CM12 (doesn't have to be the newest one) and if so, what do I have to do to make sure that it'll work?
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
I don't have any problem with CM11...it's fast, almost up-to-date...the only thing I would like have working would be miracast but event without it...it's great and fast...for those who fell it slow...try to do a factory reset and kill facebook's apk after being used it (don't let it live in background)...
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
Did you try it? And if so, did it work (and which version of CM12)?
[Motorola Droid 4] bustr85:
It worked fine yeah - and i was using the nightlies - last one I've installed was 11/04 I think
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
I never had problems with this, even at super-slow CM12 the music almost always works (and plugging earphones in starts it) even when the rest of the phone is lagging. Only sometimes, when even system ui is not responding, the music drops out for a few seconds. I use PowerAMP, maybe it's better at prioritizing its background process :)

All recent CM12s work fine in stock. I don't think any functionality is affected by the slot it runs in. Sadly, even in the stock slot it sometimes heavily lags on me, sometimes preventing me from accepting the phone call :(
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
I just got CM12 working smoothly on safe slot, with roughly 300 MB free on /system.

I flashed the Pico Gapps package (about 90 MB) and installed only the apps that I really use.

Haven't got a call so far, but it did work on rom slot 1, so maybe it'll work. :).

Working fine here, lags from time to time. Don´t know if I should try stock slot.

Im not really sure how to add more pages to the launcher :silly:

Also, there is an option for skipping tracks with volume buttons, but doenst seem to work.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
did someone have tried the newest cm12.1 nightlies?

Enviado desde mi XT894 mediante Tapatalk
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Didnt notice latest nightly is 12.1. Im using it, no difference from older builds as far as I can tell.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
I've tried quite a lot of versions of CM12 and skipping tracks with volume buttons has worked on all of them without having to change any options.
[Motorola Droid 4] Elanzer:
Has ZRAM been enabled in CM12.1 builds by default for the Droid 4?

On my Photon Q, going from CM12 to CM12.1 was a massive performance boost with multitasking because ZRAM code was updated in kernel to support the faster lz4 compression and 256mb ZRAM is allocated by default, wondering if the D4 could benefit from similar treatment.
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Thanks. But sadly doesnt work on latest builds, including cm12.1
[Motorola Droid 4] pairdime:
Mute button during calls is broken in 12.1 and has been for over a month on 12.0 as well. On all omap4
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
Can you use your own ringtones on 12.1?

I tried several CM12 nightlies and have the one from April 15th running in my safe slot.

Everything is working fine except for ringtones and notifications. The problem isn't choosing them in the sound menu, but when I get a sms or call, it always plays the "Castor" ringtone.

It doesn't matter where I put my /ringtones and /notifications folders, whether it's on /system/media, on storage (or storage/media) or on the SD card. (or sdcard/media/).

It also doesn't matter if they're formatted in ogg, mp3 or wav.

The only thing that works, are the standard ringtones/notifications inside of /system/media. When I choose one of those, the phone uses them correctly, but not my own ringtones.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Or if this is only a problem of the more recent builds, can anyone tell me an older build where it still worked?

Thanks in advance, I'd really appreciate any help or hint! :)
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Have not tried that, but after reading, tried, and the same happens here. Not sure if can be fixed, probably system will only take the same file type with the same encoding format than the ones that comes with the rom?

Have you tried to put the files on system/media AND set the same permissions for the new files?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
What permissions do you mean? In Total Commander I (obviously) have to give a read/write permission to write them onto the /system partition. But those are only temporary.
[Motorola Droid 4] welder73:
Set permissions to rw-r-r with Es File Explorer or some other file manager.

My ringtones (mp3) plays fine ;)

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
Unbelievable, it worked! Thank you so much, finally everything is in place. :)

I hadn't used ES File Explorer for a long time but it actually looks great in the recent version, so I uninstalled Total Commander. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Hmm, I'm missing something here =/ this has been my second main annoyance with CM12, but I can't get this fix to work. My files are on the SD card, but the permission changes either don't go through while the files are on the SD [fair enough], or don't stick when copying a fixed file from /system to SD.

For this fix to work, where should I put the files I want to use for notifications or ringtones?
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Hi, don't know if this helps, but I've just installed cm-12.1-20150419-NIGHTLY-maserati.zip, and skipping tracks with the volume buttons is working fine.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
Longpress on the /system/media/audio folder and open 'More' -> 'Properties' on the right. Then click on permissions and make sure the boxes are ticked like this (I didn't have to change anything here):

Owner: R-W-E, Group/Other: R-E

Then in the menu on the left, choose "Tools" and open the Root Explorer (just click on it). There you have to set /system to RW (/ can stay on read-only).

Then, Copy the files into /system/media/audio/ringtones and /system/media/audio/notifications, make a reboot and choose the ringtones in the system menu.
[Motorola Droid 4] welder73:
Copy them to system/media/audio/notifications (ringtones),than change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

Tried that build, still no luck. Are you using the player that comes with the rom?
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Yeah, I am - are you?
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
I believe [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] already implemented that on droid 4 :S
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
You mean on CM12 or CM12.1? If the latter, it would be a reason for me to upgrade to CM12.1 (I just set up my phone again, otherwise I won't change a running system).
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Yep, also tried google music, no luck.

Not sure what else to try. There is an option in settings about skipping tracks with volumen bttons, mine is set to on by default, will try to set it to off :eek:

Maybe your system has older files from older builds that keep this working, dont know.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Cheers, that did the trick
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
That's basically the same what I had posted 3 minutes earlier...
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
I didn't mean to discourage you - I'll go back and thank you for your post also. I'm certain that your detailed instructions will be helpful for more users than just me.

Having tried to help others across numerous different forum websites across the years, I've found that you just can't know what level of experience another user has. In this case, I was comfortable with the simple explanation. In many other cases, I would have appreciated your extra detail far and above over the simple reply.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
does anyone know if the keyboard modding has been fixed/found a way to get it working on 5.x? i'm so used to having additional functions on the keyboard I don't think i could go back to the stock droid 4 layout
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Huh, it's working fine for me?

You have to change keylayout-files (.kl) form KK a bit:

For CM-12.0: Remove WAKE and WAKE_DROPPED

For recent CM-12.1: Replace WAKE_DROPPED with WAKE

(Just look at the files included in the ROM, they are correct in this regard)

Else the files won't get used.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
http://xdaforums.com/droid-4/general/keylayout-hacker-keyboard-droid-4-t2901076 this is what use with CM11

i tried it a while back with CM12 but it didnt work at all. the keyboard layout stayed "stock" and i like having the ctrl functions and what not.

youre saying all i need to do is replace WAKE_DROPPED with WAKE and it'll work?
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
As long as you are on 20150421 or newer, yes. Support for WAKE in keylayouts was re-added then.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
just tried it out and it looks like its true. edited the keylayout with PSPAD and it really does work so i guess ill stick with 5.1 for a while then

thanks for the tip
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Hi - my battery performance had gone really bad, so I decided to completely remove rom slot 1, and recreate it. I then installed cm-12.1-20150422-NIGHTLY-maserati.zip, and my volume buttons still skip tracks ok.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
i'm not sure if this is known but as of the latest nightly (04/22) settings for language don't save properly as in i still get auto punctuation and capitalized first letters when theyre shown as disabled
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
G'day Michael,

I just tried to get this keyboard going, only to realise that I'm on the 12.1 0419 ROM. When I go to CM Updates and refresh, it tells me that no new updates were found. CM tells me that there are 2 newer ROMs - why might my phone not be seeing them?

I've downloaded the 0422 manually, but what can I do in the future to avoid this happening?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
I have the same problem on the 20150415 nightly.
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
same here
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
aside from the google keyboard/AOSP keyboard not saving its settings properly i also noticed that my carrier information is listed as USA-480 instead of Verizon Wireless (4/22 nightly)

i dont know when it happened but when i woke up and looked at my phone it was changed. it doesnt seem to have any effects on my connection so its a minor issue

edit: after rebooting its still displaying USA-480
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
theres a 4/23 nightly now but when i check for updates it says there are no updates available
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
Hello,

since the Update to 5.1 Navigon Select cant be installed anymore.

Message: Navigon Select ist nur für Kunden teilnehmender Mobilfunkbetreiber und Gerätehersteller bestimmt.

Motorola is supported. but I get this message.

I made a clean install today but it stays there.

With CM11 and CM12 there were no problems.

It started with CM12.1

Please help, I need my Navigation System :)

okay it looks like mentors patch will fix this issue... dont know why but uninstalling navigon, installing mentors patch and reinstalling navigon fixed it and its working now.

reinstalling without mentors patch didnt do the trick.

strange... but its working
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Well, changing permisssions for ringtones was my idea, and not a single thanks :D :D :D :D

Anyway, skipping tracks with volume buttons is working for everyone? Updated rom again, and still nothing. Wonder what Im doing wrong.

I guess I´ll delete slot1 and start again.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
works for me using the default music player. using CM12.1 4/22 nightly on stock slot
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
How are you guys flashing the nightlies? Right over the currently installed ROM?

if I'm on a Nightly from like last week, can I just flash right over it without backing up everything and treating it like an entirely new ROM installation?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
I went from 120413 or so to 120419 and had Gmail and Hangouts in crash loops which made the phone unusable. I did a clean install with the 0419 and the 5.0 gapps I'd been using and had the same issue. I downloaded a newer gapps package than what I'd been using and used it on a clean install with no further trouble.

YMMV, of course
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
makes sense. basically how it's been with other devices for me up to this point.

thanks, Shobai.

how has the performance of this ROM been for you? any daily-use deal breakers?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
No worries, happy to be helpful =)

It's gotten a lot better than it was initially. Between the current ROM and JJB666's kernel, I feel like it's almost there.

My main gripe now is that most often my phone will either not ring on an incoming call, or will completely bog down and simply not update the display to show an incoming call. Less often, after a pause, it will show the incoming call and allow me to drag the icon to take the call, but fail to actually pick up. Significantly less often again, I am able to take the call - this sometimes happens after someone has tried to call me 2 or 3 times. (if Stargo et al are reading, this is on a Droid 4 in Australia, using Mentor's GSM patch. I intend to check that I've got his latest and confirm that the issue I see hasn't been fixed. I think I'm on v2.3.7, or something, currently)

I have had an issue whereby the ringtones on the SD card aren't used, but I now know a solution to that (back a page or so).

Other than that, it's quite usable, and definitely is more usable now than a few months back =)

(edited after testing)

So, just checked out what's actually happening, by calling my phone from a landline:

The landline calls the mobile, and starts ringing after a short pause. The Droid 4 locks up at this point.

The landline rings 4 times, before the Droid 4 display shows the incoming call. At this point, between the 4th and 5th rings, I attempt to answer the call by sliding to pick up.

After the 7th ring, the landline goes to messagebank. The Droid continues to play my ringtone, for another 3 cycles, before appearing to come out of the lock state and registers the missed call. At this point the Droid resumes normal behaviour.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
a few days ago i mentioned that my network name changed to USA-480 instead of verizon wireless and i realized that its because i changed CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM. when i changed it back to NV it started showing verizon wireless again.

im on verizon wireless and the phone doesn't really miss calls. its actually the first thing i tested when i flashed cm12 because i read some posts about it.

to me CM12.x feels "laggier" than CM11 because there are random freezes every now and then usually when multiple things try to happen at once. for example when i just opened the internet browser and someone sends me a text the phone will hang for about 20-30 seconds and sometimes the app im trying to use crashes so i just have to wait it out.

its not all that bad though and i gotta say that things seem to run smoother when theyre not freezing so it can work as a daily driver if you have some tolerance with random freezes but CM11 is still more stable in my opinion.

keep in mind that i dont use facebook app which i heard can cause performance problems.

off topic: do you get LTE in australia? i heard that some company was using 700MHz for LTE over there.
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
weird.

im "upgrading" from a desire z to a droid 4, because I felt that the increase in ram and it being a dual core would make it lag less, but it seems like CM11 on the desire Z has the same issues. Most of the blank-screen incoming call stuff was related to the sleep CPU speed, and bumping that up by 60-100mhz on the minimum step speed fixed that for me.

worth a shot?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
yeah, no facebook app here either. As mentioned, I'm running JJB666's kernel; Run n Gun OC Lite, currently (300,1k,1k2 and 1k3 MHz, iirc). I should probably check without the custom kernel at some point.

Yep, 4G over here. Mostly it's in other frequency bands, but Telstra (the main operator over here) is rolling out their second stage of 4G on 700MHz - unfortunately, it's on the /other/ 700MHz band, not the one Verizon used. Not to worry; I can live without 4G (no facebook, youtube, twitter or what have you)

You might be onto something there - the kernel I'm running has no step between 300MHz and 1GHz. I'd have to check how it's set up though, because I thought it'd basically run at 1GHz when the display was on, and my testing so far has only been to call the phone while the display was on, after a reboot, having just returned to the home screen.
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Well, I found some erratic behaviour with skipping tracks with volume button.

Start the phone, select a song, turn off the screen, press volume buttons, skip tracks works.

Go back to music player, select "shuffle all", skipping tracks wont work anymore even rebooting the phone.

Latest 12.1 build here.
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
Such a simple but effective test. I wonder if anything would show up in the Logcat.

I think more of these tests need to be done with different kernels/speed settings to see if it's related.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
Apps vanish from SD card

When I wanted to open Opera today, my launcher told me that the app is not installed. So I went to system settings->apps and indeed, all the apps that I had moved from system to the SD card are gone!

I'm using the nightly from April 15th.

Anyone else got this problem?
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Maybe your SD card wasnt mounted correctly. A reboot could fix that. Or update to latest build.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shani Ace:
Yeah I thought the same, but a reboot didn't help.

Which build can you recommend? A few posts earlier someone mentioned some new bugs in the new builds.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
The only new bug I've seen is with the CM Updater not seeing new ROMs. The calling issue has been around for quite a while, for me at least.
[Motorola Droid 4] will5:
Latest build Works fine. No major problems.

Just update to the last one, you can keep it up to date without losing data.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
just ran my quick and dodgy test again - I'm on 0424, running with JJB666's 0422 'Run n Gun OC Lite' kernel, and using Mentor's 4.1.7 (iirc, got it yesterday) GSM patch.

Called my mobile from my home landline. The Droid 4 was awake, unlocked, sitting at home screen. The landline rang 5 times before the Droid starting to ring, and went to message bank after the 6th ring. The Droid picked up that the call had gone to msg bank, in that it stopped ring after my msg bank greeting started to play over the landline. Once I heard it playing, I replaced the receiver on the hook and picked up my Droid. At that point, the screen updated to say that there was an incoming call, and that I could take or ignore it. Before I could hit either button, it disappeared again.

I'll try with a different kernel when I get a chance. Is this happening for anyone else?
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
what does the logcat say? I have a suspicion that it may be a permissions issue due to the ringtone issue that people are finding. maybe it has trouble getting permission to play a certain tone, so it slows the unit down during retries.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
OK, well I had another go while cooking pancakes for breakfast. This time I used the Custom OC kernel (300,600,800,1000,1200,1300).

The Droid reacted to the incoming call after the first ring I heard on the landline. I was able to answer the call as soon as it appeared - success!

I went for the Run n Gun in the first place because it seemed that the 800 MHz step was causing poor response in the phone. I'm not sure where to go from here, but I'll try out this kernel for a while and see how it goes.

As an aside, why would have more frequency steps help with incoming calls? Does the program get locked up while jumping to 1GHz (or higher)? How is the difference between the kernels explained?
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
I think it has to do with the phone simultaneously waking the display, trying to update any lockscreen widgets, and then trying to intercept the incoming call, while loading the ringtone.

if the MHz is low, it ends up being slow to come to life.

So looks like it's a common problem with all older devices and newer roms.

My Desire Z does the same thing with a rom that is too much for it to handle. Glad it worked out :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Almost - all my tests were done with the phone unlocked. So, no waking of display, no lockscreen or widgets. So, just incoming call and ringtone, from your example. Shouldn't be an issue?

Is there a way to suggest to the phone that at least one of those stimuli should result in a ramp up of the clockspeed? Do these processes assume anything about current clockspeed? Or are they totally agnostic?

Is the whole thing just a configuration issue at my end?

I guess the next check I need to perform is how it behaves when the phone is asleep, since that should use the minimum clockspeed. If there is no issue, then I guess the problem isn't necessarily tied to clockspeed

[edit]

Apparently this is a known issue for Droid 4/Razr/Photon Q in conjunction with CM12.x. No idea if there is a fix
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
well there may not be a fix because perhaps what you're testing is the fix. just like it was with the desire z and later roms.

the only thing i know of that contributes to the rapid scaling of the CPU performance is the type of profile, like ondemand, interactive, powersave, etc... I think Interactive or Ondemand are what I used.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
My phone has acted in a strange way since the update of 2015-04-20 - 2015-04-21.

Whenever I'll update my phone and it'll restart, it says "YouTube has stopped" and "Google Play has stopped". I won't get any network (3G/GSM) coverage at all. Luckily I have a backup of my 2015-04-08 update which works without any problems (well it's very slow with Nova Launcher).

So what gives? Why is my phone acting like that???
[Motorola Droid 4] Dave Lister:
I've been compiling CM-12.1 on my own but haven't made any changes to the repo yet. Something between 04/17 and now broke the power button. Instead of returning code 26, it's returning 123, which is KEYCODE_MOVE_END, so every time I press it the screen scrolls to the bottom. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
i'm still using the build from 4/23 and i noticed that when i use the hotspot app and turn it off while other people are connected the device hangs and then shuts off
