[Motorola Droid 4] Galaxyninja66:
I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROM!!!!!! - A developer by the name of TheKit made this rom, so do not give me any credit for this rom, give it all to them.

I am simply linking it because I love this phone, I love Sailfish OS on it, and I think a lot of people would enjoy Sailfish OS on it as well and just don't know it is available.

Q: "What is Sailfish OS and why should I use it?"

A: Sailfish OS is a great OS for many reasons. Having used multiple android roms I can attest to the fact that:

1. It has MUCH better battery life (however it has a weird battery read bug, see issues below)

2. It is MUCH faster and generally more stable when it comes to the things that work (your calls won't drop, your system won't lock up due to lack of ram, etc.)

3. It has a great gesture driven UI that is a joy to use and very gorgeous to look at. No more of this all white bull**** Google has been forcing down our throats since 2014

Q: "How good is the battery life?

A: After a day of playing cave story at work and reading discord and listening to music, I am at about 30-40% end of day (I start at 8:30AM, stop at 4:00PM)

Okay now that the Q/A segment is over, lets get to the real meat

ISSUES

1. Battery Read is wonky, it only goes in 10% increments until it reaches 20%, then it starts going in 5% increments

2. If you use the 2.1.3.7 build keyboard backlight is broken, but it works fine on the 2.1.0.11 build

3. Bluetooth is wonky, I was able to play audio through speakers in the 2.1.3.7 build...

4. FM Radio is broken too

5. As the maemo-talk thread says, CDMA is untested, and like on Photon Q, most likely does not work. GSM works great though! :good:

6. The old 2.1.0.11 build has a slew of issues compared to the new 2.1.3.7 build. These include data not working out of box, wifi requiring a reboot to work, and auto rotation not working in a majority of apps by default. Consult this thread and the maemo talk thread for more help, and if you want rotation anywhere, install patchmanager 2.0 and auto rotate anywhere from warehouse for sailfish os.

Alien Dalvik install tutorial

I did not make this and do not know who did. the developer claims someone threw a brick at them with an sd card attached. The sdcard contained links to these files in the form of a text file names "monkeyAIDS.txt"

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mS6di1jYfVeDoFBjcANS6SmfkhGyEKoa/view - AD Jolla C (different from the Turing phone rpm, this is built for 3.1.x kernels)

http://sfos.scanf.su/maserati/alien-patched.tar.gz

So extract both files to your ~/ (home) directory and type in the following:

devel-su

[insert root password you set in settings]

zypper in [alien dalvik rpm]

rsync -a /home/nemo/alien/ /opt/alien/

ln -s /vendor /opt/alien/system/vendor

reboot

OPTIONAL: fix for the default 320PPI value

devel-su

[insert root password]

vim /opt/alien/system/build.prop

change ro.sf.lcd.density to the value of your choosing (Droid 4 is 256)

Keyboard Backlight Fix, works on 2.1.0.11, don't know about 2.1.3.7 -- Thank you [MENTION=4126321]moodroid[/MENTION] for this legendary patch!

On <2.1.3.7, I got the keyboard backlight to work by creating an /etc/mce/20backlight.ini with:

[KeyPad]

BrightnessDirectory=/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight

Then do 'pkcon install mce' and 'systemctl restart mce'.

Download Links

Here is the thread with the Download Link to the 2.1.0.11 build

If you don't mind a lack of keyboard backlight and want a more up to date build, grab the new and fabulous

Basically if you are fed up with how ****ty the latest Lineage OS builds are and just want to try something new, give this a try. Why not? What have you got to lose. All in all great work by TheKit and I am very happy with the port as it is and I think you will be too.
