[ICS Leak/CRC] Droid 4 Build 6.16.214

Well, I'm here to confirm that I was able to go from ICS213 to ICS215 smoothly and painlessly. I was also able to install Safestrap and restore my CM9 nightly and everything is business as usual.

I still have a few issues that I had before, but nothing new. Youtube doesn't work for me. Screenshots are still 60% of the window. Occasional data drops.

awesome so a safestrap safe mode backup works the same as a nandroid backup glad to see my guess was right on.

The only backups I've ever done are in Safestrap. But if you look in the /safestrap/backup/version&date folder, it has a file called nandroid. :biggrin:
 
So to my understanding.. .215 isn't a really substantial upgrade.. just makes things a little smoother but you lose more functionality? Reading through the posts, it seems like .215 isn't worth the upgrade.. can anyone confirm?
 
im also seeing no negatives in 215 minus an intial home screen issue that was only on first boot and hasnt happened in any reboot since.
 
I was doing some digging, and did I notice that they added Microsoft Exchange tasks functionality in .215? I think they are also working on getting Microsoft Exchange notes functionality as well... I noticed the build numbers of the apps have "moxier" in them, which is a full fledged ($20) exchange client that supports all of that.
 
Hmm. So the previous complaints on this thread aren't being seen by others? I may have to make the jump then..
Thanks for the info guys!
 
If you have the boot.img and the update zip you can always go back. I did 215 to 213 to 215 when testing the new tool script.

What lost functionality are you referring to?

From what I saw earlier in the posts about .215 some guys were complaining about the connection to wifi dropped strength, their signal dropped strength for 3 and 4g. So that's why I was asking.. I'm stationed in an area that is the middle of nowhere but Ijust got orders so I'll be moving to a 4g area, I just didn't want to lose more functionality in an area that has weak signal to begin with.
 
I haven't noticed any trouble. If you have the update zip and matching boot file you can go back to an earlier leak if you like.

How about the benefits of 215, are there any? 213 has been good for me so unless there is some noticeable improvements on 215 I'll stick with 213.

I have had zero issues with .215. If anything, I had better 4G on it than I did on .213.
