Stock d4 JB via kexec - Motorola Droid 4

Run stock JB without flashing OTA!
flash this zip to a romslot instead.
REQUIRES SAFESTRAP 3.11 (due to increase in system partition size )
Only tested with ICS boot.img so far but it might work for people who've already flashed the OTA.
This is the Full Bloat edition
might do a slimmed version later.
Download: http://d-h.st/g5f
Bugs:
haven't tested much yet beyond booting and going through setup.

working:
hwc
lcd
1X
3g
4g
sound
wifi
compass
keybaord
capslight
bluetooth
etc...
not working:
???
Edit: romslot 1 only for now

thanks, man. too lazy to SBF, and the OTA keeps failing because I must have modded my build.prop. until I get some time to grab a build.prop from stock ICS or just bite the bullet and SBF back to stock, this should hold me over

No Wifi Tethering?
I just installed this from Rom Slot-1 and it looks good so far, but first thing i noticed was that I could not do Wifi Tethering with Foxfi (or built-in hotspot) It says that the carrier has blocked wifi mode in Jelly Bean... any ideas on how to get around that?

there is an entitlement check in settings storage, looks like there is a way to hack it by editing sql database for settings storage. trying to find an easier fix....
Edit: delete /system/app/MotorolaSettingsProvider.apk and odex and replace with this: http://www.mediafire.com/?e5o6pgju49d0tih (deodexed apk only, no odex file)
wipe data and cache and it might just work. NOTE: wiping data and cache is mandatory.
Confirmed working, and this hack should also work for any stock JB based rom.
edit: it works but deodexing the apk seems to be be causing FCs ,I'll try injecting the modified resources into the odexed apk later

Look for sqleditor in the market, scroll down to settings (the icon with the wrench), settings, then change line 66 'entitlement_check' from a 1 to a 0, and reboot. Built-in hotspot will work

this is a zip of the odexed apk and odex with new resource injected. tether works and no more FC's, no sql editing necessary.
these can be added to the zip beofre flashing, or pushed to /system/app/

new flashable zip, with previous fix and adbd as root. http://d-h.st/gJq

sure

i have a debloated mostly deblurred version almost ready to go if anyone is interested.
todo:
strip out the blur framework files and whatever else is useless.
better tether icon in settings.
mod overlaysettingsprovider settings to not try setting up deleted apks, and set sensible launcher defaults.
replace blur phone/telephonyprovider (this will require resigning all platform/system apks and fixes from hashcode's build for telephony stack)
done:
browser - aosp 4.1.2
camera/gallery gapps version
calendar aosp 4.1.2
removed lots of bloat, and everything available on market.
modded build.prop to make vvm from market work, deleted blur version.
removed entitlement check so tether works.
restored aosp settings icons.
added aosp launcher, works good but has issues with webtop.

Would 'smart actions' work with the de-blurred version if I restored from a Ti backup?

I noticed two problems:
- at boot pin is not required
- battery count is wrong
Can be they solved?

The original JB OTA brought the phone to version 98.72.8. It's now trying to install an update 98.72.16 - do you have this update integrated into a flashable file yet?
edit:
Never mind, I grabbed the file from your 2nd link now, and I see that it's 98.72.18. Would be good to just edit the original post and change the link there, so other folks don't go thru the trouble of downloading the old image first, like I did.

Of all the different Blur JB versions out there, this is the only one that wouldn't boot loop or result in a black screen. Granted my Stock ROM slot is still on an ICS version, so I'm sure that is the main problem.
I'm too lazy to want to SBF my stock ROM slot so this is a great alternative for now. Thanks!

Yeah, same here, the other ones I tried would just bootloop.
I'm still not convinced I want to stay with it. I like the "Sleep Mode" option in the powerdown menu in ICS. Also, this one spontaneously reboots on my at random times, I have yet to notice any actual trigger for that.

[PATCH] Bug fixes > Froyo V5 *7/27 leak* (Fix: Browser, Gmail, Market, Stream Audio)

[PATCH] Bug fixes > Froyo V5 *7/27 leak* (Fix: Browser, Gmail, Market, Stream Audio)
Figured it would probably be worthwhile to roll an update zip with the fixes for the leaked Froyo release which have been identified thus far.
Patch contents:
Fixed force close issues with the browser when interrupting a page load or loading a URL out of email/RSS and hitting back. My patch will replace the browser with a deodexed version from the Evo 2.2 official (but pulled) release, which eliminates this issue.
Streaming audio fixes. This is NOT the same as the build.prop change found in other threads. The patch will replace the stagefright libraries using versions from the Evo OTA. As a result, the fix will not degrade Quadrant performance and should solve the streaming audio quality issues present in the original leak.
Market fix for missing apps. Changed build.prop such that the phone will identify itself as an N1 running Froyo (credit: adrynalyne).
Gmail app replaced with working version. The version included with the leaked ROM is terribly broken (such as adding 0s, not being able to open labels, etc). Patch will replace it with the latest version from the N1, which works great.
Superuser reverted back to 2.1, which despite generating sqlite errors in logcat works more reliably than 2.2.2. Should eliminate the issue with root elevation requests taking a long time after first booting.
Installation:
Apply the zip via CWM as usual (can be re-run anytime, such as for updates).
Be aware, this patch will clear your Gmail and Superuser data automatically. Thus, your phone will download your mail again and you will need to approve apps requesting root (only after first applying the patch).
Changelog
Version 5 - Fixed streaming audio and reverted superuser to 2.1.
Version 4 - Fixed browser force close issues.
Version 3 - Updated Gmail to 2.2.1 and automated install process completely.
Version 2 - Fixed Superuser so that permissions persist.
Version 1 - Initial release.

There is an issue after applying your patch where Superuser permissions does not 'remember', and reprompts on every SU required app... And yes, 'remember' is checked.

Version 2.2
Updated version to fix the Superuser permissions not persisting properly, sorry about that guys. Go ahead and just apply the new zip file on top of whatever you have now, will work just fine.
As for the media streaming change, that was intentional for reasons already mentioned. You're trading one problem for another, streaming quality for performance. Anyone who desires that "fix" should have no trouble applying it to the build.prop included with my patch.

No that I am aware of. As fixes get released for these issues and are confirmed to work I'll incorporate them into this patch. But yeah, nothing for the 3G issues right now.
GMail force closes and will not under any circumstance load up... Dang good thing I backed up the previous version.
UPDATE: Clearing cache Helps but It blanks out every so often and says "Your e-mail will display shortly". I'd rather have a 0 in my e-mail. Can't wait for the official update because the version in the Leaked ROM is very promising.

VVM/My Verizon/Flash 10.2 all for GB (Updated 7/20)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.
Good post. Good idea.

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero

[APP] *WORKING* CM7 Mms.apk w/ CDMA SMS Split + Black for Stock Deodexed ROMs

*FULLY WORKING*
160 char SMS Split for CDMA Nexus S from CyanogenMod 7
I'd been looking for a fully working MMS.apk from Cyanogenmod to use on my stock, rooted, deodexed ROM for the Nexus S 4G, and I tried literally every mms.apk on the forum that claimed to support SMS Split, but none actually worked properly. In fact, all but one of them actually didn't have the SMS Split feature at all -- they had many extra CM7 features like switching between white/black, or changing the User Agent, but "Split SMS" simply did not display in the settings.
This version was the only one I found that really does split up the SMS's, but it is missing important features in conjunction with it, such as displaying all the different types of character & split counters, etc.
I finally stumbled across this post by s3v3nXDA, and that one worked. It's version 2.3.3 according to the built-in app manager, but I'm not aware of any real difference between it and 2.3.4 or 2.3.5, and in any event, it works great.
I decided to post this as its own page, because I presume many others have been on the same wild goose chase as I've been on. I also was not able to find a flashable ZIP for this working APK, so I made my own. Attached are the working files, both a flashable zip and an APK.
Download ZIP or Download APK
Directions:
For ZIP, boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, choose zip to flash, and flash CM7_MMS_160split.zip, clear cache partition & Dalvik cache, reboot.
For APK, backup/rename existing /system/app/mms.apk, then place the APK into /system/app/ using Root Explorer, ES File Manager, etc. May need to clear caches & reboot too.
Does MMS work with it? Hmm.. Especially curious with the Nexus S 4G.
So yeah, looks like it works send/receive MMS. I'm using pete's final GPA17 rom.
Can't seem to get this to work, I get force close on start up and when I open the Messaging app. Any idea? I'm using stock rooted rom GRJ90 deodexed.

I assume you install it through CWM? How is the battery life after installing? Also, do we now whether it is the same version as in this thread or older http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856?

Yes, it's a ZIP you install through recovery. I'm using SafeStrap (essentially CWM). If you aren't using SafeStrap, I do recommend you take a look at it. It's a nice safe way to test ROMs and other things that might be considered dangerous.
I can't really say anything about battery life yet. I've only been playing with this ROM for a couple days. You know how it goes with installing apps, indexing, caching, syncing.. things need a little time to calm down. However, I can't really imagine any of the ROMs being worse on battery.
And Google Now needs time to learn. I've read that Google Now uses the settings for Home and Work locations from the Navigation app, so I set up my work and home locations in there, and it's notifying me with traffic at the appropriate times.
It's probably the same version. 36megs sounds about right. myfishbear has kept everything very current in his Eclipse thread.
Just for reference, I'm on ICS leak 217.

Not sure if I did something wrong, but I tried 3 different revisions of Eclipse (including 1.2.1 and 1.2.2). Every time I installed it, I had only 4 of the 5 icons show up at the bottom of the launcher. My corporate email security settings (requires PIN) wouldn't work, and if there are any customization options (like UI settings in other ROMs, or even launcher settings), I couldn't find them.
I've installed numerous roms on other devices, so I really can't imagine what I did wrong.
Boot to SafeStrap.
Make sure SAFE system is enabled.
Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
Install ROM ZIP.
Install GoogleNow ZIP.
Win! (well, win for everyone else...)
I tried Infektion ROM as well. The only issue I had there was the same issue with my corporate email security settings. And the screen rotation bug from CM9.
I tried clearing caches, fixing permissions, re-installing, re-re-installing.
My unsafe system is ICS leak 217, no mods. Works great.
My safe system is Deodexed/Debloated ICS 217 plus GoogleNow. Works great.

I wonder if there will be a xxx-gapps-rom.zip for the 8.9" version soon?
Cool, as soon as I figure out how to get supersu on the hdx ill give this a try! Thanks for working on it!

That would depend on there being a SafeStrap for the 8.9" version soon
This works great on my tablet BTW. Thanks!
Hmmm looks like I might be the first one to try this out. I'm downloading now and I'll report back when it's finished.
Update: Installed the ROM and immediately hit the Play Store. Tried to add an existing Google account but it caused a reboot. Right now I'm stuck on the calculator since I have no nav buttons
Update 2: Tried to enable Wifi, got another reboot.
I'm going back to my stock ROM slot for now, being unable to use the Nav buttons makes this a bit difficult.
Installed and working perfectly. So far everything but gmail works, and works really well. thanks Cpasjuste.

The problem can only comes from the data partition. Did you try to first restore your stock data partition then flash the zip ?

No I did it the other way around, and the data restore failed.I I'll give it a try and report back. Thanks. Good work by the way.

Just tried it. ( Restoring data, flashing the zip).
I can see my apps from my stock ROM so I know the data restore was successful. I'm still missing the nav bar and Play Store still results in a reboot.
EDIT: Just tried it a second time and it seems to be working.
So unlike your flashable zip for the stock firmware this ROM gets rid of the Amazon Video App correct. Amazon video has Prime Instant Video Offline Downloading and that is a killer feature for me. Anyway to sideload that stock APK and have it work?
Here's a video of the end result

Hey thanks for your hard work. Glad development is picking up for the hdx7.
Quick question is flash working on stock browser? I know its not asop and dont like adding other browsers.

It does say it removes ALL Amazon background services, so, Sideloading probably will not work, at least not enough for the app to recognize this as a Kindle.
i can't long press anything with this rom... it just flips the screen around. can't get to the apps settings either. also, games like shadowrun always are upside down.

I use Nova launcher and long press works fine. Hungry Shark Evo always starts upside down for me but I guess unlock rotation lock, get it right then relock and it's fine. It's a pain but works. Only that game does that to me so far. Not sure why...
Soooo.... I installed and this was working OK, but random reboots. So I went ahead and wiped dalvik. Now I've got a bootloop. Is there a way to access safestrap?
***edit-fixed*** adb reboot got me into safestrap

The screen flip only happens in landscape mode, not portrait.
Temporary work around is turn on the "lock orientation" in the notification area (left most button), then it won't flip.
A slightly better work around is smart-rotator app.

Turn on fix orientation for the apps you want to "fix".
