Motorola Droid 4 is now usable

Apr 29, 2018 22:40

23.4.2018, around 12:34... I realized how unix ttys are sabotaging my attempts to send SMS.. and solved it. So now I have Motorola Droid 4, running 4.17-rc1 kernel, with voice calls working, SMSes, data connection, GPS working and have some basic GUIs to control the stuff. WIFI works. Screen locks, and keyboard map still could be improved. Battery ( Read more... )

Congratulations - amazing work! Can't wait until the Droid 4 installation intructions are ready. Unless it's beyond my understanding to install it, then I'll be using using this the first chance I get...

Installing it should not be hard; there's short description at https://leste.maemo.org/Motorola_Droid_4#Installation .

Thanks. If you get a moment, could you give me a few pointers please?

- I don't have an SD card, so I was hoping I could create a new rom slot in safestrap and use that. Would that work, and if so, how would I get the image onto the rom slot?
- Do I apply the all the patches after first boot up using 'patch < whatever.patch'?

Sorry, and thanks again.

Hi again,

You were right - with an uSD card, installation is very easy, so please ignore my installation questions.
I'm still not sure about patches though, and whether I just need the 18 listed on the link you gave me to have everything working like you?
I guess I'll have to wait for an official announcement instead of hassling you!

Thanks
