Database Develop

Hello

Well, I'm an x8 user, I'm gonna change the phone in some months and wanna ask if i really should buy this device
I know too much about roms cuz well I'm developing one
I wanna ask you guys, should i use it in stock and then wait for official ics or stock roms suck?
Does this phone really need all the stuff to work smooth? I mean custom kernel, rom etc because well its dualcore phone and looks that in some post i read, my phone works better
Thanks

It's an awesome phone with cm7

well the stock rom it's not the best out there obviously... blatware apps, poor kernel make it a bad choice if you have alternatives.
for me, the best one is CM7, even better with a custom kernel like the Etana one. lots of tweaks and optimizations if you know what i mean

Hi leroy.
I will give you my personal unbiased opinion about it.
I bought the phone and it came with stock froyo (android 2.2). And I thought it was fine. I could play games with no problems at all. Didn't experience any of the problems that lots of people were complaining about (SoD, bad battery life, etc). I "test-drove" it for three weeks more or less, just to make sure everything was working fine, and it was.
And then I flashed temasek's latest kang and vadonka's latest kernel. And I do not regret it one bit. The phone is smoother, more responsive, and battery life is better by at least 25%. Unfortunately I did not do a quadrant benchmark before flashing, so I don't have a before and after comparison, but the phone "feels" much better, no doubts about it.

Thanks looks like a big change from phone to phone but i guess stock will be enough for a while, it will be a perfect phone and i will try development after using it for a while

I tend to believe that what differs from phone to phone is the "bloatware" that carrier dependent phones have installed. I bought an unbranded phone, so I am guessing that is the main reason why I was such a happy customer to begin with, even with stock ROM. A stock unbranded ROM, I might add.

Sorry But i dont know what bloatware mean
sent from my x8 using TecnoBread

My definition of "bloatware" is basically crap software that your carrier (for example vodafone or movistar or whatever) preloads in your branded phone (phone sim locked to your carrier). This software is usually very bad software poorly developed that has memory leakage and drains your battery.
This might be a very biased opinion from me, but usually I like my operating systems to be as clean as possible, only with the software/applications I really need and use. This usually makes for a very fast, responsive and efficient system.

Well, so installing custom rom will replace craping software or just similar unlocking phone?
Also i have hear this is a great phone for developing, but why there's not too much moves as in our threads? Couldn't it be because the phone doesn't need too much developing?
Another question, will official ics fix that or i should upgrade to cm9?

Trust me, the devs for the O2X are awesome. They seriously do great jobs and even create miracles for this device. Just about a month ago, CM9 wasn't available. Many things didn't work, but now thanks to awesome guys like RC and Owain, they made it available to us.
If I were you I wouldn't wait do the official LG release. The GB release was way overdue. LG promised release dates they didn't met and I think this will also happen with ICS. LG said that they would release ICS during the 2nd quarter of this year. I bet that LG won't release it then but probably in 2013 .

I don't know if there is HDMI out or not in CM, because I've never used it while using CM, but it does work fine in MIUI.
And what do you mean by "8 MP is 6 MP"? I thought the resolution just stays the same. Either way, the stock camera app has been ported over to CM7 based roms, and it works just as good as in stock ROM.
Honestly, using MIUI (Wiui to be exact), the experience is alot better, and there is almost no feature sacrificed compared to stock

For me, this phone is best in its class and value-for-money phone.
I only have 1 complain, The battery.
But once you get an extended battery, this phone is perfect.

But once you get an extended battery
What you mean?
sent from my x8 using TecnoBread

There are batteries you can buy with more capacity than the stock battery that comes with the phone.
However, I can easily get two day battery life with the stock battery, so personally I don't understand why so many people complain about their battery life. As far as I know it's about the same as other smart phones.

New Droid 4 Owner -- Need some advice

Hey guys! My contract from verizon is running up and I desperately need a new phone; but I still have unlimited 4G and I'm not going to let Verizon contract me into another phone and lose it! HAH What a joke, 2gb a month for the "cheapest" option? No thank you. So I went ahead and ordered a mint condition Droid 4 for a nice price It should arrive this Friday
I'm upgrading from a Thunderbolt (the old girl served me well) and I cannot, and I can't stress this enough, cannot WAIT to have a physical keyboard back. I used to to be a Blackberry Curve and Tour owner back in the day before I made the switch to Android.
My question to you guys is, what ROM should I run? I want a full experience, so no non-working mechanics so I will be staying away from the broken camera roms, at least til they're stable. Also, what other things should I know before getting my new phone?
Thanks, and I hope to be part of the xda droid 4 owning family in a couple of days

If your looking for bug free myfishbear's Eclipse ROM is probably the way to go. As for other things to know, you will need to root and install safestrap recovery in order to install ROMs. I recommend the Droid 4 Utility ICS Only. That will allow you to root and also has a function to install safestrap.
And welcome to the D4 forums!

Thank you! I was seriously expecting responses like "buy a better phone" or something. Quick question; do I have to flash radios like I did with the Thunderbolt? If I get stock gingerbread OS, should I upgrade to stock ICS and then root? Or will it not make a difference?

I love my D4 You do not need to flash radios or anything like that. If it still has GB on it I would go ahead and update to ICS first and then root. That way you don't have to mess with root keeper or anything like that.

Thanks for the reply again! I will upgrade to ICS then root
It'll be here tomorrow, can't wait!

I suggest rooting stock and freezing a bunch of the garbage ICS apps that you will never use.

Fwiw, I've recently bought a used D4 for the same reason
(High 5!) And have not installed a new rom. I've just rooted, mainly so I could freeze a few things and use rom toolbox's ad blocker. Not to take anything away from the devs who do great work, but personally I'm totally happy with the (rooted) stock ICS. I know JB is supposed to be snappier, but I'm not seeing any sluggishness anyway. Welcome to the D4 world-the keyboard is AWESOME, really.
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app

I'd prefer to install Eclipse rom because there is no bloat to freeze and it's really fast. Also, it gets rid of a few spy tools Moto and Verizon placed on the stock roms.
Moreover, when using safestrap (which is needed to flash a rom) you don't have to worry about screwing up your system because it prevents you from messing up the stock rom.

FedEx is terrible. My phone won't be here til tomorrow
Anyway.
I think I will try and use Eclpise first. It looks like what I am after

Another vote for Eclipse here
The JB ROMs, CM10, AOKP etc. are all very nice, but missing crucial features like camera flash and the HDMI port.

Does eclipse introduce any bugs? If it gives stock functionality without the stock bloat, I'll be changing my mind...

Not noticed any bugs.
I find the (optional, flashed separately) speed tweaks to really hurt battery life, but the basic ROM (plus olegfusion's GSM patch) works just fine.

Thanks! In that case I'll probably try it out when my semester ends and I have time to tinker.

I want to tag in here, I recently purchased this phone and im from the Netherlands. I read that the Droid4 will have stock JB (4.2) support. The thing is, I am dutch and the phone isn't unlocked. Now i've been trying to understand if the update is possible for me and if the update is out allready (cant find anything about it)
Little background info:
I've had the desire Z when it intially launched and it broke down last month. Been using the desire for a month and im going nuts! Really missing a physical HD and when I started googling it seemde that the droid4 is made for me, but not being sold in stores in the NL.

It depends... what are running right now? what are you looking for? performance or battery life??????????????

I have not seen any news that this phone will get 4.2, but Motorola currently has the device listed among those that will receive 4.1 at some point (no date scheduled, though). There has not yet been an official stock release of any form of Jellybean to the Droid 4 so far.

Sorry for the late reply, I got the phone now and I saw that Hashtag is one of the core dev's for 4.1/4.2 AOKP/CM10. The phone is unlocked when upgrading to ICS via WiFi, so thats not a worry. The problem is that I cant get the data to work, ive posted about it here

I've never had much luck with GSM/UMTS data on Hashcode's ROMs. Stick with something like Eclipse ICS for now until Hashcode's ROMs mature a bit.

if I were you, I'd also go for the eclipse rom.
I had installed the jb rom at first, but somewhen it got really slow and apps began to crash, I also lost connection with my carrier more often then with the eclipse rom that I've changed to now.

I just recently got a used Droid 4 myself, and I have to agree with ECLIPSE. It was the first rom I installed (immediately after I got the phone), and I rooted/safestrapped with the ICS Utility. It was an absolute breeze, and ECLIPSE is running wonderfully.

Awaiting My Nexus 7, need some input

I was so excited to get my Nexus 7 a day early. It came today and I immediately started setting it up. Shortly after turning it on, the screen would do things on its own or just not respond to my touches. It did sometimes. Very disappointed. So RMA'd it and awaiting my replacement. (Anyone else hear of this?)
Anywho, while I'm waiting, time to get a plan. I have already downloaded the Nexus 7 Toolkit and plan to use that to get me rooted and a recovery. (Is this the most common method for N7 users?) Also, any input on a recovery? I've been using CWM since I started using Android, but it seems TWRP is getting a lot of attention.
Lastly, the dreaded ROM question. I currently run CM10 M2 on my Nexus S 4G and... eh. CM9 ran great, but been having alot of reboots and freezes on M2. I know it's not stable so I don't hold it against them.
What's everyone's favorite on the Nexus 7?
Things I look for in a ROM, stability and nice tweakable features. I don't OC, never will. I was eyeing up Paranoid Android, but not sure how stable it is. CM10 worries me only because of my experience with my phone so far, but I love CM based ROMs. I've never had much luck with AOKP. Am I missing any big names or great ROMs that I should consider besides Paranoid, CM10, or AOKP?
Thanks in advance.

Best ROM threads suck, even more when they are polls.

You know, its people like you that give xda a bad rep for being arrogant and unhelpful. This isn't a "best ROM" thread. I'm basically asking peoples opinions and experiences ofthe ROMs I listed and maybe some ROMs that are hidden gems .

Awesome, see that's the input I'm looking for. Why though? What's catching your eye? I seen on their thread that Paranoid isn't the most stable ROM, I wonder the reason for that. Only issues I've read about is people changing their DPI to something the N7 can't handle. What about recovery? CWM or TWRP?

Just my opinion but just try stock for a while. We already have the most up to date technology so why overclock? All games run well except Gameloft games and that's because they don't optimize for tegra processors. I don't change ROMs until the company stops supporting the newest updates.
P.S. there's always one in every crowd

Yeah. He's right... I'll get my 32GB N7 today, and the first thing I planned is not to root it... First of all to wait if some of those damage problems arrive (I'm lazy so I don't want to unroot when something's wrong..)... And I'm very happy with stock... Android really grows... And I taught myself to live with the quick settings... So, I see no need. I don't really need colored stuff, or idk.
I recommend you to just use stock for a while and when you don't like it, you can still root it ^^ idk how it arrives (locked or unlocked) but you may want to unlock the bootloader first, before really setting it up. So when you going to root it, you won't lose data ^^
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yea, that was another idea. If I stay stock, I'll root it then stay stock. Get a feel for the tablet ways before deciding to go with a custom ROM, which looks like is gonna be paranoid so far... but yea, like I said, def no over clocking. That quad core the n7 is packing will be sweet enough. Any recs on which recovery? Are there any big differences that might sway my decision to one?

personally im going to go TWRP on my nexus 7. my SGS3 has it; its an evolution of CWM imho

I've been enjoying my time on the linaro builds of aokp. Nice and snappy, the best kernel I've used to far has to be Trinity IMO, you can tweak CPU and GPU settings. I just wish it would run in tablet mode, still waiting on a patch for 4.2. As for recovery I've always been a cwm man but recently switched to Twrp, it has a nice interface and lots of options. Oh and BTW the nexus 7 toolkit is AWESOME, within 30 minutes of unpacking my N7 I had it unlocked, rooted, recovery, and super usered. And it does this with one click, you sit back and it does the rest.....that is after you make it install the adb drivers for you.

I like that twrp is all touch. Any other big advantages? As far as CPU and GPU settings, meh... lol that and I would like something running 4.2 and something that isn't gonna seem like I'm using a 7" phone lol

Custom Roms?

Stupid question, but I'm curious about it... Is someone trying to build a custom rom or nothing is moving underneath? Is it more difficult with this phone than with other, like RAZR M that has already several roms available?
Thank you.

AW: Custom Roms?
Hey there.
There are custom ROMs from papi32 (MIUI and AMBP or something like that, but based on Android 4.0.4 ICS) and some other guys trying to port cm10. And hazou builds his own kernel and successfully boot it. You can follow this thread for more information http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121213.
And yes it's very difficult to build/port custom ROMs to our device, because it has a x86 Intel atom processor. Most smartphones have ARM processors, so port ROMs from other devices is as difficult as try to port Android to normal computers.
But I think we will have custom roms, you just have to wait.

It's difficult because of the lack of source from Motorola (they released the strict minimum) and some particular implementations made by Motorola. Not because it's a x86 SoC....

I cant agree in complete with your post - you can use a lot of the precompiled modules from the 4.1.2 rom - if you do not use a newer kernel provided at sourceforge.
The reason is imho - there is no dev out there with an razr i and the time to build the dev tree and toolchain...

You right. The time to do it seems to be the major issue for the few dev that try it.
We don't need an army of devs (there's plenty of device with great customs rom thanks to only one or two great devs)... We just need someone that can figure it out and have the time (and of course the device) to go further into the job.
I'm totally sure that once will have a first release (even a pre-alpha roms like cm10.x) things will go faster

Okay, so it's clear that we all want development on our phone, but it's tedious and most of us do not have the knowledge to do it. Still, what can we commoners do to enforce development? should we contact motorola and spam them until they give out more code/assistance? Should we donate to the Liquid Smooth guys? look to hire someone?

maybe some has contact to quarx and can convince him to help. he is a xda-dev who really did magic with motorola phones even with an unlockable bootloader. (i know all the other moto phones aren't x86).

I'd be careful about "hiring" someone. I saw the HTC Flyer guys get hosed when they collected a bounty for someone.
Hopefully the LiquidSmooth guys can figure it out. They haven't updated us on any progress, so I don't know what's going on, but they seem like a legit group. There's also the guys trying to port CM10. Progress is happening on that, but it's going slow because they don't have a lot of free time on their hands.

Just like the topic says, thinking of doing something like this if there is any interest. I own a xt1060 (Verizon non-dev edition) so that would be the base.
Discuss?

I think that would be great. What modifications do you plan to make?

Absolutely. Though would it work on the AT&T XT1058?
Since kernels cannot be flashed, I believe optimizations arent possible? Just visual changes?

I would like to see a debloated blur ROM with more toggle options in the notification pulldown and status bar tweaks.

De-bloat, replace some of the apps with more "functional" source built counterparts if/when they are available (MMS/Dialer/etc.), possibly some slight modifications to the framework images to make it look a bit more unified across all X variants.

Absolutely. Though would it work on the AT&T XT1058?
Since kernels cannot be flashed, I believe optimizations arent possible? Just visual changes?

As per AT&T, that would be dependent on having testers readily available who aren't afraid of taking a trip to RSDville should something go sideways.
Optimizations are always possible, however slight they may be

I would like to see a debloated blur ROM with more toggle options in the notification pulldown and status bar tweaks.

Pretty sure we would have to build from source to completely modify those areas, in the meantime I would just stick with GravityBox to take care of those options.

Liking the discussion so far, please continue

Optimizations are always welcome, however slight they may be :cyclops:
This is the my first motorola phone, and certainly the first with a locked bootloader. I am not well versed with RSD, but am gonna read up. You got one tester here :good:

Sweet, I always appreciate any help I can get!
Keep in mind also guys that this will be done in my spare time (which I don't have a large amount of) and no ETAs will be given on anything. This is gonna require quite a bit of research and testing on my own device before I even start grabbing testers for it, I personally do NOT want to be responsible for bricking someone elses X... that would be a tragedy of epic proportions.

ETAs if asked, will be done nicely
I kid, i kid. Take your time. Its better to have a late released good ROM that a quick release buggy one
And BTW, whats the ETA for the first release? :angel:

Will your work be for 4.4?

Yes, and possibly 4.2 as well for those who prefer jb.

Definitely interested in testing this. Freezing bloat on my Dev Ed really boosts the battery life into well over the 2 day range. Thanks OP

Yeah, I'll act as a tester with great pleasure. I've got some experience in modding and don't get scared of anything

Awesome, looks like there's a decent amount of interest in this. OK then, research commencing now.
Time to call the other boys into action as well I suppose

Remicks,
A) Yes I am interested!
B) Would you be willing to throw a little education our way? How does one make a Rom safestrap compatible? I am currently using a rooted 4.4 safestrap Rom, with OTA bootloader / safetrap installed. Here is the link http://rootzwiki.com/topic/108826-romsafestrapxt1060-stock-rooted-vzw-140455-kitkat/
I was under the impression that using safestrap one could not flash new Kernel, though it seems that is one of the steps for the above link? Is it because it is a digitally signed kernel? Any information would be awesome about how to do this, perhaps I could even help!
