[FEEDBACK] Droid3 KEXEC kernel ROM thread - Motorola Droid 3

This thread should be used for specific feedback relating to KEXEC based ROMs (CM10/AOKP).
DOWNLOAD ROMS:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana
I know many users don't have enough posts to add to the development thread.
RULES: Please read through the thread and make sure you aren't posting a duplicate issue or one that's been answered.
CURRENT NOTES (Gathered from feedback):
BUGS FIXED:
Better stability, everyone agrees very few random crash/lockups
KNOWN ISSUES:
Still considerable battery drain. This is due to several hardware components not sleeping correctly: CPU1, MPU and others. More work needed.
HW decoding is currently being revamped to use less memory (see YouTubeHD / netflix)
No camera function (at all). This will be a long-term fix with a new kernel driver for each camera sensor.
** MMS is a work-in-progress on *ALL* of our Jellybean ROMs. We are using a brand-new telephony-common .jar via Google "master" branch to solve our multiple radio / international switching issues. The downside is that Google hasn't decided how to handle MMS on this branch.
For now use GoSMS from the market.
DEVICES TESTED:
Verizon Droid 3 (XT862):
STOCK-RADIO:
*should* be mostly working (where noted) using the .zip files from me.
CHINESE-RADIO FOR US GSM:
Needs build.prop edits found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33102553&postcount=422
China Telco XT883:
?? Might need specific patch to boot.
Canada XT860:
Can boot, but no 3g and warm cpu due to cycling services. Dev needed w/ a device to create a patch for full function.

Ok here goes:
Been running JB CM10 1103 for more than a full day.
- I'm using Strict memory settings from ROM toolbox and disabled HW overlays, and nova launcher from AOPK
Good:
- 0 crashes but 1 reboot
- Pretty fast, no really hangs. In fact it might be even faster than mavrom 4.5 for me
Bugs: (apart from the known like proximity sensor etc.)
- I've noticed that when sliding the keyboard out before unlocking the phone, the screen sometimes doesn't rotate to landscape properly. I have to unlock and close/open the keyboard to get it in landscape.
- I fixed the bug where it shows 1% battery in JB by charging to 100% in my stock ROM, and then wiping stats with battery calibration app.
It does return after reboot
Battery
- Used phone all day normally, in fact more than usual I think. It's not bad but I have a 1900mAh battery so should be better. Idle seems OK for some reason.

Long time user, first time poster
First and foremost, HASHCODE- You are amazing and so is your work. Thank you from the bottoms of my feet. (Heart isnt low enough for what you do.)
Now on to some actual feed back.
I am about to load up your 11-04 build, but my question is does WI-FI TETHER work and what do I need to use? I've tried the built in version and 3rd party apps to no avail. I have seen conflicting answers to others' request on the matter but haven't had solid answers that have worked. I have VERIZON X862. Thank you ahead of time for any other future advancements you will bring us.

just adding:
on hard keyboard alt keys do not work

Mms on vzw 862 not working either still...

aokp
been using aokp since i got ss3 and was able to test jb,cm10 and aokp. i stayed on aokp the screen sometimes goes out and is very dim also enough lag to crash the phone or i just have to wait hopefully not a repeat i could see how this would tie in with crashes. still enjoy it very much thank you so much hash

Hashcode: US GSM networks work perfectly on the XT883 radio using the build.prop I made based on your 10-18 CM10 Kexec (and works on latest as well.) Info and uploaded here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33102553&postcount=422 I get HSPA 14.4Mbps (actual speeds around 5.5 on att in my area) and it shows an H instead of 3g Wish mavrom did that.
For others needing info, read the thread in dev section for unlocking for att/tmobile, I post my findings there. Including (awhile back) of getting somewhat dual mode on us vze/gsm without radio swap. I was able to receive sms, calls, and 3g data on vzw with xt883 radio, couldn't call out or send sms (could use google voice for sms and grooveip for calls over data though). Then swap to gsm mode for my sim.
Back on subject, built in tether works on xt883 gsm fine, mms, etc. Only issues are known issues, all radio aspects work.

Thank you so much for pointing this out. I'm not sure how I missed this. I have a TMO SIM in my D3 for testing and I haven't had a chance to get the phone working in quite a while.

It works for me. Except the @ launching the e-mail app instead of writing @
Oh, and for me the lockscreen unlocker on CM10 is way out of place while in AOPK it's correct

general feedback
I am on Vodafone NZ running cm10 20121018
Simply unticked the 2 options under Settings, More...(default ones can not recall name now sorry) and after this the phone sorted out it's own APN settings and instantly started working on 3G / HSPA?.
Can honestly say I do not notice ANY battery use worse than stock ROM, seems the same to me? clocked CPU at 1008Mhz
+1 for reception on 3G in general, this is honestly better than it has ever been and I would know given on stock ROM unless standing by lounge window (with one eye closed, tippy toes and poking out tongue) it was not possible to get 3G, now it appears 80% of the time anywhere in the house it is on 3G !!
Occasional freeze, only times for me is when typing a text with on-screen keyboard and other times about to type an e-mail in K9 Mail.
Other than that running all round amazing in my opinion, motivated me to buy a replacement screen / digitizer !
Thanks for your work Hash, this phone would have long been ditched had it not been for your committment and skills.

just had my first random reboot. immediately my battery jumped ffrom 75 to 35. i havent swapped roms or been into ss3 since install.. gotta go back into gb now to charge to 100. btw as you can see altkeys dont work for me here but they do work in whatsapp

A +1 from the land of OZ as well. With 'alt telephony' off and world mode on, every thing I need seems to work i.e. I can make and receive phone calls and 3G/HSDPA data seems to work. The 1018 build wouldn't receive phone calls - phone.app would crash in response to an incoming call.
The phone worked out the APN for my carrier by itself once the right settings for mode were selected.
Power consumption doesn't seem that different from the old CM9 I was running or stock.
It would be nice to have a working camera, but thanks to SS3 I can swap to 'stock' if I find I need a camera and I don't have my DSLR handy.
I have had what appear to be random UI freezes where the phone wouldn't respond. But things were obviously working in the background as I got a new email notification while the UI was frozen in one instance.
Also a couple of instances where the UI didn't rotate to follow the orientation of the phone and after a while it appeared to unstick itself.
But since I can send/receive emails and make/receive phone calls, the ROM does what I need of it.
(I've not tried SMS or an MMS, SMS isn't something I use a lot with a phone that does email).

I saw a while back a statement about "sensors" not working properly so I assume what I'm posting is known, but GPS doesn't seem to work for me.

Phone app crash
Not sure if this is a known issue or not, and it only happened once, but when i was on a call and the other party disconnected unexpectedly, the phone app just crashed.

The gps works fine in 3rd party apps, but does not work in maps/navigation. Gps status & toolbox gets a fix quickly, shows accurate speed, etc like it should, but navigation sticks at searching for location, although the statusbar icon stops blinking and gets a fix. Maps just can't access it, permission issue?

gps was flaky for me when I first installed the rom..
I used gpsfix and now my gps works just fine..

Well, with a quick test, I can verify the problem is with maps. 3rd party nav app Sygic works as expected, fix in about 4 seconds for me. Maps will get course location from network, just not the gps module. I personally do not use network location.

Bluetooth access point doesn't work.
It pairs with my laptop but then doesn't install any drivers.
(but these things would be my last concern )

minimalist text?
Not sure about this one, but in 2 different launchers my minimalist text widgets don't ever actually load, they just say "loading", could be something stupid i'm doing, but this is the first trouble i've had with it.

I downloaded and am running the KEXEC-cm-10-20121103-UNOFFICIAL-solana on my D3 on Verizon and I noticed a small issue with Bluetooth. When I am in my car, and the device is paired up, I can't stream audio if my phone is plugged into the car mount or in car mode. However, if the phone is not in the mount or car mode it streams audio perfectly. Is there a known issue with dock audio in this build? Regardless of this small issue, I just wanted to say thanks to Hashcode for all of his awesome work supporting the D3! You ROCK sir!!!!

LEAKED *7/27* Stock 2.2 ROM - **CONFIRMED BUGS**

The original thread is a complete mess and it's impossible to find posts detailing CONFIRMED bugs. Let's try to keep general discussion of the leaked 2.2 ROM in the original thread and use this thread for bug reporting.
THIS IS NOT FOR HELP/PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION OF THE LEAKED ROM. Only post here if you have the leaked ROM up and running and have encountered a bug.
Post here you think you have found a bug. If it cannot be repeated by multiple users, it's not a confirmed bug, but more likely an improper installation or software conflict of some sort.
If a potential bug is posted by someone and you can repeat it, please quote the original post of the bug report and "Confirm" in body of your post. If multiple people can confirm that they can repeat the bug, I'll update this post and list it. If someone posts a bug and you know a fix, quote their post with your fix (or link to thread with fix) in the body of your post.
I'll try to keep this OP updated with a list of CONFIRMED bugs and fixes if one is known. If your bug is already listed here, please don't clutter up the thread by posting it again..
CONFIRMED BUGS:
1) Some purchased apps will not show up in the Market. Fix here
2) Multiple reports of recording in 720p in the camcorder causing a FC or screen freezing
3) Multiple reports of problems with MMS:
a) Handcent seems to work fine (no reported problems with MMS)
b) Stock Messaging appears to be hit-or-miss (MMS works for some, not for others)
c) Chomp seems to work for some people, not for others
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)
5) Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading (confirmed by multiple users)
6) Streaming Audio Quality: "decline in audio on pandora as i listen to it bluetoothed to my stereo and now the sound has a major decline in quality" FIX: there is a patch for that works, but it hurts the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though. Fix here. Use the UPDATED fix, not the original one (original one is only for fixing Market)
7) Swype: multiple users report that Swype will stop working (cannot "swype", only tap keys) after reboot. Others report no problems. Sounds like a Swype install problem for people having trouble? FIX: Toggling Input Method off Swype and back on Swype seems to fix the problem.
8) Multiple reports of data connection dying off. lower bars on data then dropping from 3g to 1x speed. Intermittent WiFi connection dying as well.
9) Multiple users report poor battery life
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)
Beat me to it, but theres the link to the thread that fixes it.
Making more threads about the same things makes it even harder to find information.

very true !!!
If someone sends me a list of confirmed bugs and fixes then I'll add it to the main thread.
lets mention the streaming audio quality. there is a patch for it that works, but it murders the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though.
I've had 3G not turn on from a reboot now twice. Had to reboot to get it to work.
hrm
I couldn't get backup assistant to work, it won't connect.
delete my post please
Sending is fine. That's my fault. I'm an idiot.
Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading
My phone has been running slower and hotter since flashing the 2.2 leak
Maybe add to #4 about Gmail that once you copy the fixed gmail.apk and reboot, you may get infinite Force Closes from Gmail. It happened to me. The fix is to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Gmail -> Clear data. Then you'll have to open Gmail twice to get it to work.
When connecting to a PC with a data cable, and going into disk mode, I am only able to access the phone storage, and not the sdcard.
I have received a few MMS messages in Chomp tonight and they have worked fine. Not sure what that bug is about?
Quick question, does anyone have the ACTUAL 2.2 OTA update that is signed and completely untouched from HTC that would flash using a stock recovery? All we seem to have is the modified / rooted version, ide like the legitimate copy if possible

Of course its out there. However you won't have root if you use it. The rom is EXACTLY the same as if you applied the OTA. Except a little older radio and you get to keep root.
Plus it has the same bugs... At least VZW/HTC knows what bugs this has, 5300 beta testers so far. The official OTA should be flawless.
Anyone else having an issue with Wifi? I installed the new radio, rooted and installed 2.2 as advised. Everything appears to be working fine for me (camera, Market, etc..) but when I attempt to connect to the same router that was working when using 2.1 it keeps looping at 'Obtaining ip address ...' but will never establish a connection. I googled Froyo 2.2 wifi obtaining ip address and got several hits for other phones running 2.2 but nothing so far for the Incredible. Any thoughts? Anyone able to get wifi working?

I never once had any issues with wifi. Grab the logs and send 'em to me and I'll see if I can find anything.
I'm noticing an interesting thing with Swype. After most reboots I can not "Swype" only use the keyboard. The workaround is to change my input method back to the stock keyboard and then back to Swype and it works fine. Anyone else noticing this?

[Q] Some n00b droid 3 questions

Hello fellow droid people.
Ok here is my question/questions. I apologize in advance if some of these questions are redundant with others, but I am at work at the moment and my search functions are limited due to web lock downs.
So I know a bit about what I'm doing in terms of flashing and backing up with safe-strap (v3.05). Currently I'm running MiniMoto v1.6 on a 5.7.906.xt862 system version on the Verizon US network.
My first question is what are the benefits of swapping to the xt833 over the xt862, if there are any at all.
My second question is dealing with the 3g vs 1x connections. I usually get a 3g connection just fine, but soon as I switch to any heavy internet usage, steaming music, downloading/updating from the play store etc, it will drop down to a 1x connection and my data will slow down drastically I grandfathered into the unlimited data from Verizon so idk if its a cap thing or what.
My last question is that when I turn on the GPS it takes a drastically long time to find any satellites to be able to do navigation. I tired installing the GPS status app which seems to help a bit but still takes a long time to connect that first time after its been off for a while.
Lastly, not really a question I suppose, but I am looking for suggestions too on ROMS to run. My biggest issue, as I'm sure with most people, is batter life and looking to get the most out of it. I do run Juice Defender Pro and with the minimalistic approach of MiniMoto I do get a lot of battery life. I guess what Im looking for though is something that is VERY bare bones, no extra stuff at all, not even gappps, at least on a fresh install, and with the features to customize what I want to have on there, almost like a build your own capabilities. For example I notice most ROMS I've tried (Ive run CM9 a long time ago on an x2, Steel Droid, v3 i think, and now MiniMoto) and they all have things like the Flicker Authorization on it, I have no use for that personally. yes I know I can freeze it with Titanium Backup (which i have also) or rename the .apk file to like .apkb or something, but I am looking for something where its just not there, if its out there.
Thanks for making it though this wall of txt and look forward to participating on here after a long time lurking and using the forums for info
Another question that just popped into my head, if someone can point me in the direction of how to apply the build.prop things that get put out, Ive seen a lot of things about them, but never been able to find how to apply them it would be appreciated.

-Droid x2 - returned to get the Droid 3

1) The 883 radio/build.prop is used to unlock GSM in the USA. Totally unneeded and will disable your CDMA part of your radio from my experience unless you want to unlock for T-Mobile/AT&T.
2) The 3G/1X switching may be you needing to do a *228. But you can force 3G by *#*#4636#*#*, Phone Information, EVDO only. Note: You won't get inbound calls or texts, as those use 1X.
3) Minimoto is about as barebones as you can get. If you want more battery life play with the overclocking and keep it at 1 GHz but change governors and stuff. I get through the day just fine. What are you expecting? Maybe you have apps that you download that are killing it (like Words With Friends is notorious for me).
Thanks for your response MrObvious
As to the 3g/1x thing. Ya i don't want to force 3g that way as i do still need to receive calls and such. I have tried the *288 a few times and its doesn't help at all, I'm thinking its just a bad location in my office as that seems to be where I have the most issues.
For the battery thing. Its not that I see a big drain on it, far from it when I know I'm going to need to be maximizing it I can just use Juice Defender to cut the pushes and radios that aren't needed to a minimum and I can easily get a full day plus of standby. I was just looking for a way to maximize what I did have already.
It is two two eight not 288.

before you add the gapps from above, might want to upgrade to 1.7, he just put a new version out a couple of days ago with some fixes and more removal of things. and it requires a full flash, not just an update.

[Q] No 3g with CM 10.1 plus some other less severe issues

Greetings,
Just a few days ago I installed the most recent CM 10.1 nightly, first 20130319 and now updated to 20130323. For the most part, my phone is working well, but I do not have any 3g data service nor have I had it since installing CM 10.1.
I have a Droid 3 XT862 being used in the US on Verizon's CDMA network and placing and receiving calls works. I *can* send and receive SMS as well, although in a test I did toay I sent very short 25 character text from my Droid 3 on the Verizon network to another Android device on the Sprint network and it arrived a mere 2h15m later.
I have read many messages on this forum and others, but either the problem addressed is too far removed or the ideas/changes suggested are offered with little explantion as to why, so I am unsure if making any of these changes would be a good idea. I did read through the build.prop on my device and it certainly appears that it is more or less configured and ready for CDMA usage. I have performed a *228 PRL update, but it did not appear to help. CM 10.1 makes available, unlike the stock ROM, a menu/page full of mobile network settings. I have tried to work with some of these settings, toggles, preferred network types, and so on, but again none of these changes seems to have had an effect on my 3g data connection.
Am I doing something wrong? Does anybody know how to fix this? Or perhaps it is a new/temporary bug in CM 10.1?
As for the operation of everything else under CM 10.1, I like it very much. It is a very big step up from before, when I was first using stock Android 2.3.4 followed by the Maverick ROM, which, while better, sure liked to crash/reboot when under memory pressure. I do have a few issues that I hope others might be able to help with:
* The hardware keyboard's ALT key does not appear to work anymore which rules out half the symbols on the keyboard, making it far less useful. I also cannot use it any longer with VX ConnectBot as some of the mappings do not seem to work. For example, the "OK" key used to work as a CTRL key. Maybe these are related? Any idea how to fix this?
* The backlight on the hard buttons and on the keyboard was, previously, triggered by a light sensor (I think). Now the backlight comes on when there is any tapping, swiping, or button/key activity. That's fine, except that the timeout for the light is extremely short, on the order of about two seconds. In a dark environment, this can be annoying.
* It's slow... my god is it slow! I think this is due almost entirely to a severe lack of free RAM on the device, but I don't know what to do about it. Some programs, like GMail, take forever to start, while many others are just very slow to use/respond. I see the "Not Responding" popup appear *much* more than ever before, but, as I know these apps are just slow and not dead, I always just tap on "wait" and go on with what I was doing.
I really don't think I have that much running in the background or foreground to use all of this RAM. I have replaced Trebuchet with NemusLauncher in hopes of freeing some memory. I have three widgets only: a clock/weather widget, the standard calendar widget, and the Google Voice inbox widget. In the background, besides whatever Android and CM run, I have Google Voice and imo (the instant messanger) running. I believe that is it. Is there *anything* I can do to improve the speed issue? I understand how Android handles memory, so it is clearly not about just increasing the "free RAM" value. That said, however, it seems that if there were fewer apps trying to use the limited memory then this would naturally be higher to begin with.
I have a decent collection of apps, but the number is much smaller than in the past and most all of them should remain dormant unless I actually run them... or so I believe.
Okay, so those are the issues. I could add battery life and the camera to that list, but I have read on the forum that, no thanks to Motorola, the camera is unlikely to be available anytime soon, and I have also read that the battery issues should be resolved soon.
So, um... please help! And great many thanks to all of the hard working devs who bring us better software and especially to those who help those of us with devices that are practically *new* and yet abandoned by the carriers. Extra kudos to those finding ways to work around locked bootloaders and proprietary binary blobs.

Can you force it to EVDO only? And what happens in a stock ROM?
In the mobile network settings page, as mentioned above, I can, and have, tried many of the options. Among them is the preferred network type.
It defaults to 'global' which actually sets it to LTE/CDMA, though this is not an LTE device. I have tried all of the options that make sense (i.e. nothing GSM related). I have tried Evdo-only and currently have it set to 'CDMA/Evdo auto'.
None of these settings has changed anything. To test, I disable WiFi and see if I have a Net connection.
With the stock ROM, as well as the Maverick ROM, when I have 3g, the letters '3g' appear in the status bar next to the mobile signal strength icon and there are two small arrows to indicate I/O. This is what I expected to happen with CM.
-Sent from my XT862 using xda app-developers app
I have a 3g update, but no solution yet.
In the mobile net settings page I have the network set to 'CDMA/EvDo auto'. Then I turn on airplane mode to force the radio off, then turn airplane mode back off.
The radio comes back and as it does I can see the network strength icon briefly add an R, presumably meaning reconnecting, followed by a 1x, and finally by a 3g. Then the 3g disappears. This entire sequence takes only about 3 to 5 seconds. If I do this while viewing Settings->About->Phone, I can see the current radio/network states change. Of course, I do all of this with my local wifi connection off.
Also, I did try a network type of 'EvDo only' and the above sequence still occurred but without the 1x step. However, this sequence didn't seem to occur as reliably as when the network is set to 'CDMA/EvDo auto'. For reference, the phone info page under settings indicates that this phone or network is 'CDMA - EvDo rev. A:6'.
So, it would seem 3g is at least possible, if fleeting. What should I do now? I really don't want to stop using CM 10.1.
--John Gruenenfelder
Same issue here. No 3g. In the system status, it will briefly show the mobile network status as "connecting" then drop back to disconnected.
If you reboot into stock it works right?

Me or rocksolid99?
In my case, I, well, did not follow the correct Safestrap update procedure when I went from 1.x to 3.05. As such, I *think* my stock ROM may be slightly hosed. I *do* have a complete backup of the original stock that I created with Safestrap 1.x, but 3.05 does not "see" it when I tap on the "Restore" button in recovery. So, I have it, I'm just not sure what I should do if I really need to restore that backup.
However, I have installed the Minimoto 1.7 ROM into slot 2 in Safestrap 3.05 and if I use that ROM (which is a super stripped down Droid 3 stock) then 3g works just fine. I did not have any network/connection issues and did not need to take any extra steps to get 3g to work.

Really? Good to know. Thanks for the info.
If I might reiterate on my other CM 10.1 problem, they keyboard? Right now, the ALT key does not work which means that I cannot access most of the punctuation keys. Strangely, in many apps when I press ALT I will see the cursor change with the upside down triangle at the top of the cursor bar indicating that ALT has been pressed. Good, but if I press any other key it is not recognized. It is as though I had not pressed anything. The ALT indicator doesn't even change or go away. The only thing I can do is continue to press the ALT key to cycle through its states (off, one-key, locked). Could this also be a bug in CM 10.1?
Is there a better or more correct location to submit these issues? Since these issues are/may be bugs in CM 10.1, should I not submit a bug report directly?
Beyond the 3g/data and keyboard issue is the RAM usage. It uses a *lot* of RAM. Is this just the way it is? The Droid 3 lacks enough RAM to really make a serious go at Android 4.2?
Thanks again!

When Motorola hinted that this was the reason why the D3 and X2 would not get ICS, nobody believed them.
I think it's pretty clear that CM on the Droid 3 at the moment is alpha/beta status. If you want stability and full features, you need a Gingerbread ROM. Minimoto is best for me.

+1 anything above gingerbread is not stable. Some people manage to use them for daily drivers but they have to deal with the bugs. Myself, I need a camera and I need my phone to work all day, I use it for my job. As such, I run minimoto, as it is quite stable, and any bugs that do arise can be dealt with as it's based on gingerbread, which is stable on our devices. Liberty is also a good rom to use, it's based on an older system version but it's quite stable and has lots of features, as opposed to Minimotos minimalist goal.

has anyone tried making a swap partition for cm10.1 ?
I made it and it seems to be much much faster or the latest nightly (04/07/2013) is quicker.
anyhow I have it up only for about an hour it remains to be seen during the day how it's reacting

Have you (or has anyone) successfully booted CM10.1 on the XT860? I just get bootloops after install. MiniMoto has been working great for me though.

This excellent but lacks optimization, install CM version 10.1 and was doing an analysis with AnTuTu and pulled out a punctuation 10,580, but with CM 11 pulled a punctuation of something well below 5,382 but I understand it is the first RC and include leading what a great process of working 3 Rom at the same time.

Thank's to developer!
I would like to thank developer for the beautiful work that has been done to present us with this RC2 rom. The only thing that not works is dual sim and internet 3g. The rest is perfect ... My phone is s6012b, Brazil variant. Thank's! (Excuse me for my English translator).
3g
my phone is a 1SIM say without service. Make calls and receive messages but will not connect to 3g (data not read). How I can solve it. Willing to try rom leaving

Indeed, the 3G function only works with the dual sim option disabled. I disabled the dual sim entering the command in the terminal, and my 3g worked.

Yeah, kitkat has art but cyanogenmod doesn't support it so it may cause bugs. I already tried to enable it but it just caused a bootloop. And I don't think nameless will be better because some games closes inmediatly :-/ .The slowness problems could be hard to fix to me if you don't need dual sim, maybe you should stick with cm 10.1 and if I ever manage to fix bluetooth, I would release another version of CM 10.1

It was expectable that the test would have many bugs but thanks for letting me know that dual sim works there, now I have to discover what made dual sim to work there and apply it to our cm 11.
And namelessrom is based on cm 11 so is easy to apply the same changes so when I release a cm 11, I release a namelessrom too, however I think it's kinda buggy since it cause some games not to work and dual sim problem on namelese it's worse but yeah, there will be a next release too. Also I was trying to bring AOSB but faced some compilation problems
Thank you so much
Thank you, you've made a great work with this ROM. I only noticed a couple of things: Too much battery-draining when it works with Cellular Network and no Wi-Fi. Also, it has a bug on charging when phone is off, it tries to load the animation, then it shuts down, vibrate and restart again making impossible to charge when phone is off. Have you noticed that bug when charging?

hmm I can't do too much about the battery drain, maybe you should try changing governor or some other perfomance settings. And Wi-Fi not working? what version are you using? Also about the charging thing, I tought my charger had something because it happened me too well... I will have to figure out how to fix it
EDIT: hi I think I've figured out the dual sim thing, just to make sure, I need someone to test two testing versions from this folder. If in both version works dual sim, then the RC 3 will come soon with dual sim working :laugh:
I tested the second test version, and came to the following conclusions: Dual Sim: Works! Wifi: Works! Phone calls: Works!
3G: Works! Not tested: Wifi Thether, and Bluetooth...
My cell version: gt s6012b
Nice work! can be released RC3 ... Thanks...

Installed RC3 today, dual sim working great, wifi working out of the box, performance is great especially since there is no garbage like the kind included with the stock ROM, haven't tested thoroughly e.g., skyper/viber, but so far so good. no complaints whatsoever.
Thank you for doing a great job! :good:
Dual sim is working on latest RC3 build. Will check out wifi and games soon. BTW, my device is GT-S6012.

Alonso, while dual SIM is working beautifully, the phone is not going to sleep. Wakelock Detector shows the RILJ service (which I believe is the GSM radio) is keeping the phone awake almost 100% of the time. The only thing installed on the phone is Gapps and Wakelock Detector. No other apps installed.

I searched a little about it on google and found it could be a Google Maps issue, I think disabling GPS can fix it or freezing Maps, however I'm no sure it that's your case

FYI: Bionic can run Lineage 14.1 (Android 7 Nougat)

Thanks to these wonderful people http://droid.cs.fau.de/ . Those of us still using the bionic can keep pace with the rest of the world.
I just did a fresh install of Lineage 14.1, OpenGapps 7.1 nano, and data restore from my backup. So far everything looks good. I will update if I find any major problems.
Update: So far everything is seems to be working except tethering. I try a total clean install and a dirty flash.
Update 2: dirty flash works but still no tethering.
Update 3: total clean install works, still no tethering and the GPS did not won't to lock on.
This appears to be a school project so i don't know how long they will keep it going. They seem to release once a week so i will check for a new one on the 18th.
No update as of yet. I did find out this is Stargo's work from the Droid4 . https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/development/rom-cm14-1-nougat-t3499338. I did upate to CM14.1 (dirty) and it works really well. I tried to dirty flash to Lineage14.1 and everything seems to work except teathering. Thanks Stargo.
Curious, have you had any luck rooting Lineage 14.1 on the Bionic? I'm on the official 13.0 builds and no root method (tried flashing SuperSU, Magisk, and Lineage's root add-on; even tried Kingroot) seems to be working so far. SafeStrap just gives me a "Failed" message whenever I flash any root package.
Been running Lineage 14.1 on my Bionic since late April, replacing a DroidX as my daily WiFi-only pocket Android device, as I'm still one of those hold-outs with an aaaancient Palm Centro for just making calls and texts.
Aside from some minor slowdowns in regards to thumbnail generation (especially while selecting multiple images in Discord's new image upload mechanism introduced a couple months ago) and some other interesting color funkiness when opening and using OpenCamera over the stock camera app (preferential choice, YMMV) it has been quite the amazing experience to use Android 7.x on a phone made in 2011.
Found that introducing L Speed into the equation and Greenify does help with some battery chugging issues I experienced at first. one of the cheap ~4000mAh nonamebrand extended packs available from eBay/Amazon now seems to last me a solid 20-something hours before it's time to plug in if I haven't used it much. changing the font using FontFix to Roboto Condensed over stock seems to have also helped with some real-estate issues, again strictly preferential. There's also the normal occurrence of the MTP Host process hanging and killing itself on occasion, but not too much of a worry really for me.
Also still not quite understanding of how the filesystem is partitioned in regards to Safestrap too well, especially with how limiting it is on disk space inside the partition per slot.

for the unofficial 14.1 ROM there's already a method in the settings to allow root to any app that requests it in the same way that apps must now ask for permission to record audio/access files and whatnot, but I believe this is something you need to go into the security settings and turn on.
EDIT: The way to get in and do it is to enable the Developer Options menu and modify the Root Access setting in there. Privacy Guard should then take over and allow for apps to request Root and allow it as necessary based on your input.

Huh, it's just there in the unofficial version? Interesting. It isn't there in official 13.0 (only for ADB). But hey, looks like 14.1 is official now, so I'll break out the old Bionic and try my luck at it. I'll edit this later with my results.
Edit: Official 14.1 yields same results when trying to flash any su add-on, including SuperSU and Lineage's. However, you said on the new thread that it is working, so I'll try it out again when I can.
I'm using CM13 on my Droid Bionic, and in Developer Options, there is a "Root Access" option, and it does have the choices of "Disabled", "Apps Only", "ADB Only", and "Apps and ADB".
Erratic WiFi issues...
Sort of a follow-up. with the June 10th build I notice that if the phone is on for more than a few days at a time, the WiFi radio becomes erratic. shutting it off for a bit and turning it back on fixes this, but it also continues, as has happened in previous 14.1 builds, to start behaving erratically at random when the phone is disconnected from the previously-connected AP from range loss and then travels with me. it can be as far as just across town, or further, or a shorter distance, depending on where I'm going. the distance matters not, and result is the same: loss of connectivity and in no way can I get it back unless I perform a hard-reboot of the phone.
It can get very annoying very quickly depending on where I am and how badly I need a WiFi connection. I'm wondering if this a WLAN driver issue of some kind or if this is just an erratic bug that manifests itself over time-- the network selection screen also becomes erratic like the selected network is having a seizure. this seems to happen the most on xfinitywifi hotspots more than others, but that's just the norm of what I'm connecting to most of the time. it does it more when it's in a lower range, but it also does it if I'm right on top of the hotspot sometimes, as well.
If anyone else is noticing this sort of erratic behavior, I'd love to hear about it and if anyone's figured out any sort of solid solution aside from just rebooting the phone. There's a good chance that within the coming month I might finally be able to do a clean switch from my current ancient Palm Centro and up to this glorious piece of work, and all the trials and tribulations that come with it.
I'm also curious to know if this bug exists on the official 14.1 builds from 2017-06-16 and 2017-06-23 respectively, and with the 13.0 builds... Depending on how things work out, one of these ROM builds is going to have to be stable enough to keep the WiFi from going nuts on me, and I'm going to have to use it, depending on where I am phone-wise within the next month.
Edit: the WiFi issues have been fixed in the official builds. there is now a thread for the official LineageOS ROM over here on the Android Development subforum.
(Edit 2: Phone was my daily from June 27 until August 19th. I've since retired it for a Droid Razr, same family spec but faster CPU (1.2GHz over 1GHz). over the course of the time I was using it the Lineage builds only made things better. recently the ART cache was increased to 192MB for 1GB RAM devices (AKA this, the Razr, Droid 4, etc. of the same family spec) and I'm not sure if it was that or some other change but battery life on the Razr certainly went up (2d ~ish per charge), I'd have to expect this would be the same deal with the Bionic but your mileage may vary depending on battery age and usage scenario.
the Bionic doesn't have nearly as many users stats-wise on Lineage over the Razr/Droid 4/etc. and I think that's why it seems to be a bit low key for support, but there's enough of the other phones and a lot of the hardware is the same to keep everything running. my only hope is that support for this device continues as long as the others are and isn't dropped for reasons of low interest in the port. it's a great phone-- and as the first 4G LTE dual-core device for Verizon in the US, it's still holding strong against all that came after it. )
I had a Bionic I used recently. Actually it's still being used by a friend. I tried the Lineage 14 Nougat when it first came out. I found it intolerably slow. I'm willing to try it again though. What I'm really looking for is an old CM10 or 11 ROM for the Targa. I can find lots of dead links but so far haven't found an actual copy

Thanks,
I had forgotten about web archive. It turns out a little more digging here brought up a link to a copy of CM12 which I put on the device today. Originally the phone had one of my first efforts at a custom ROM so a lot of bugs.
I'd given it to a friend who was using it but complained about the bugs and sluggishness. He thought it had a virus. I told him that it was clean for viruses and malware but because he'd surfed so much porn it had an electronic STD.
Should I use a specific filesystem? or is it locked to the rom? There are options for FS2S, EXT4, but it seems the default is EXT3. Those others would be speedier.

Agreed. I've tried formatting System (and Data, I think—it's been a while) to EXT4, but alas, it stubbornly stays on EXT3. I figure there's some technical explanation somewhere :silly:

Yeah I remember exactly that being a thing. Also we need overclocking info for all new roms. 1.3 and 1.4GHz make a huge difference. I used to use CM13.1 and there was a custom kernel for that.
