[HOW TO] Install the leaked Android 4.0.4 ICS build on the Droid 4 (XT894)

If you mean the "Social Location" app it keeps it. If not it's probably available in Play Store. It's the app that connects to Facebook, right? I think there is an updated version of it but it's still there.

Everything that was in before pretty much stays with even some new stuff. Facebook and Google Music are now system apps.
 
Prob should get out of safe mode,and uninstall safestrap recovery just to be safe,

I hope thats all I have to do, I haven't enabled safe mode or created a first or second system yet. I installed safestrap but have been waiting for a stable rom with rully operational radio and camera functions was available. So my question is do i just uninstall safestrap and follow the directions on the first page?
 
If you installed safestrap and recovery uninstalling will not be enough. Read hashcode's blog here for how this works:How-To Safestrap « Hash-of-Codes. If you didn't install recovery then you can try to update to ICS after removing safestrap. Worst that will happen is a failed install and reboot to GB.

If you did install recovery then you can try this: using a root explorer (i like ES File Explorer) go to the system/bin file and look for two "logwrapper" files, delete the one named logwrapper (or just cut and past to your sd if your nervous) and then rename the one named logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper. Reboot and try to install. If this fails you can try using RSD and the fastboot file to repair not just restore. Connect your phone by USB in charge only mode and try flashing the fasboot file. By not starting in recovery it may just clear out anything preventing the ICS upgrade. And if that fails you can try a data reset, and if that fails fastboot the usual way.

If you try any of this please let me know if it works at all.

Be sure you have a charged battery and remember doing any of this is at your own risk, is based on my own opinions, ideas and results. I know enough about this to just be dangerous.
 
Damn that sounds like some pain staking work. I was wondering if i can just do a factory reset from the boot menu after a power up? Im not to keen on all this so i just want to try something simple. Im not to caught up on the jargon. How do I fastboot?
 
Well if you didn't install the recovery you might be fine. I was trying to give you a way to avoid the data reset. So if it will not install after uninstalling the safestrap you can try the data reset because if you do a full fastboot all your data is lost anyhow. At least the data in the system part.
 
So after I flashed the leak it asks me to setup a Motorola Services account and it just sits at the "Communicating with server. Please wait.".

Help me fix this please. Thanks!

Can you explain exactly what is happening and what you did?
 
I haven't heard of that happening before. Mine just tells me that i am up to date and i never even did a data reset-wipe. Were you using cheesecake?

I have before but it didnt do that on GB when I used it. I get the feeling I have nothing I can do lmao. I downloaded the leak from here I didnt use cheesecake to get the 206 leak.
