[ROM] [SELFKANG ICS AOSP ROM] CM9/ICS for Droid 4 -- [BETA 03/05/2012]

hahahahahahaha its clearly just saltyness because as always Apex wins.

No offense, but the Mod was just being fair to the devs. You wouldn't like it if you spent lots of time on a product, and then BAM, someone goes out a little bit afterwards, tweaks your idea thus making it better and showing it off where you shown yours. Hashcodes is a basic CM9 port, he isn;t doing anything special atm besides fixing bugs, unlike the Gummy people who are pretty much waiting on Hashcode to fix the stuff and applying their tweaks. Though there maybe be 1 or 2 helping him do it, but still.

You are right and I entirely understand your point of view.

I was on 03/28 and was running into oddities so I wiped data and reinstalled 03/28...and I'm running into the same oddities again...

Anyone else seeing:
- Random apps missing from the app drawer (rebooting will cause some apps to reappear and others to disappear)
- Default app settings aren't sticking

Other then that, things are working great...

Thanks!

Flashed 3/31 this morning. (what was up with not having 3/29?) On start had the strongest 4g signal faster than any build before. However, ever build is quite optimistic when they first start so I will edit this after a day of use. I'm going to work on a film set so it should get some heavy use. I'll report back at the end of the ay with battery stats, 4g report and any other bugs I encounter.

I only wiped dalvak cache and cache before flashing this and had no problems.

I've installed the newest build and it still has some of the connection issues for me.

Ditto...I also seem to have some connection issues. Been using it for most of the day today and it seems somewhat stable, but not quite. Thinking of doing another full wipe...

Flashed 3/31 and had amazing battery time.(see screen shot below) However, I did not have data pretty much all day. I had data for a total of about two hours and used Pandora for one hour, Reddit for 20 minutes, and one Google search. When I cleared the Dalvak and Cache the 4g would pick back up but that is a hassle every time I lost signal I lost 4g. (conveniently the elevators in my apartment have no signal so whenever I leave and come back I lose data.)

I'm not going to charge my phone tonight because it is so full. I will report back sometime tomorrow with the battery stats for 4/1.

I found data to be pretty bad on 03/31, even after doing a full wipe. I did a full wipe again and installed 04/01 and it seems to be okay for right now...I hope it stays this way...

I've updated to the 4/01 build also and it still seems the connection issues haven't been fully ironed out but as was mention earlier by supershot666, my battery life has also been ridiculous. Although having no 4g connection might have something to do with that.

On a side note, I've read somewhere that the Moto Razr/ Maxx will possibly be receiving their ICS update on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the Droid 4 was not mentioned in the same leak. My question in all of this is, if in fact the update does happen does it help the development for the Droid 4 in terms of 3rd party ICS ROMs.

I have the same question. I would assume that it would help as some of the drivers and code may help in the development but that is just a guess. Anyone that can chime in with an answer?

Considering how RAZR ROMs work almost exactly the same as they do on the RAZR as on the Droid 4, I'd say Motorola is practically handing ICS out to Droid 4 devs as well lol.

Is there a difference in the ROMS now? The newer roms are labeled as "unofficial" now. 4-1 is working great for me. All I want is my video to start working again and flash to work.

Typically when they switch from Beta to Unofficial, it means it's more stable, but I don't think this time it was done on purpose. I think it happened because they re-built the ROMBOT which pulls and posts the builds.

As for the radio's, yes, Dhacker was already working this weekend to pull the radio codes out of the RAZR leaked ICS ROM that was posted, although it doesn't look like they were included in the new nightlies quite yet.

Also, the HWcodecs should be in there as well.

The Hardware on the RAZR & D4 are VERY similar, in that there are only a few things, mostly dealing with the hardware keyboard that are different between the two devices.

That's so great. Upgrading from my droid1 to the droid 4 was hard to lose the CM7. I am so happy these people are working so hard on a stable CM9. I just can't wait for it to be 100% like it was on droid1

Desperately waiting on the camera to work. My wife has an iPhone and all i hear is her friends chattering about facetime, and all I can think is that a front facing camera is not an "apple thing". People switching to an iPhone cuz it has a front camera are ignorant cuz most new phones have them.
