Delete Backups

I posted this on the Bootstrap thread but got no feedback, was wondering if someone on this thread could answer.

I was wondering if i could delete any of the safestrap backups from my SD card. It's using well over 3GB. Right now I have the following files in the backup folder:

Nonesafe:
cahce.ext3.tar
data.ext3.tar
nandroid.md5
osh.ext3.tar
system.ext3.tar
systemorig.ext3.tar

Orig:
data.ext3.tar

Safe:
data.ext3.tar

I was wondering, would it be safe to delete any of those?

3 GB is about right for 1 full set of backups + the 2 data stashes for swapping back and forth. It shouldn’t go up from there tho.

Had to revert back to stock today. Data issues kept getting worse for me. Specifically, data keeps spontaneously switching to GSM mode. Was working fine at first but last few days have been really bad. Tried installing latest build as well as wiping data but nothing seemed to help. Everything else was working great! Hopefully this will be fixed soon in a new build. It killed me having to go back to stock.

Haha, thanks. I completely forgot to check back on his blog. Guess I'll just have to get an external card.

I'm on the 3-10 build with the front camera fix, has any one had any luck actually doing any video calls?

I've tried tango, and google talk which fc's of course

Loaded 3/13 this morning, 4G data syncs quickly upon boot, no issues there. I can go back and forth between LTE & WiFi easily, and no issues with that.

The trade off between 3G & LTE is definitely an issue. Had to reboot twice to get LTE back up and running after switching LTE back on from CDMA.

For me, it's not an issue, as I don't often go back and forth once I start up my phone, just warning people in case they use 3G for power saving.

3/14 loaded this morning, and 3G to LTE hand off is not an issue any longer.

I don't have WiFi during the day to test, but that wasn't an issue on the 3/13 build.

I haven't experienced FC's since 3/10 build.

I'm on 3/15 now. One thing to report, the 1% battery status is gone. It's now just the standard 10%.

Data connection is much more solid on this build as well, as I've switched between 3G and 4G a bunch of times so far without issue, and Wifi to 4G is fine as well.

Still had to toggle during boot, but after that everything was good to go.

3-14 still has data issues for me. Maybe because i haven't clean installed any of the updates. I'll wipe phone and clean install 3-15 tomorrow.

We had a bad merge with some CM9 code for the 1% battery mod.

It was fixed last night, so I've updated the build to 3/16 in the OP.

FYI, on droidforums, we've been messing around with the data on the 3/16 build. Came to find out that if you reboot using CM9 reboot, you lose 4G all together. 3G comes up, and 4G won't catch.

If you completely power down, and then power back up, 4G still won't come back up until you toggle GSM to LTE/CDMA.

Wifi to 4G and 3G hand off seem to be fine now, though.

    FLASHING ROMS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE -- WHILE I MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN, IT'S STILL A RISK THAT YOU'RE TAKING. IF SOMETHING BAD SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE, PLEASE DON'T BLAME ME -- HENCE THIS WARNING.

    This isn't so much a ROM announcement as it is a direction to find the unofficial nightly builds of CM9 for the Droid 4 (based on Motorola ICS leaks)

    Download Here from ROMbot

    Download GApps Here (04/29 Goo-Inside GApps Link).
    FLASH THE GAPPS.ZIP FILE AFTER YOU FLASH THE ICS.ZIP


    WHAT do I need to run this ROM?
    - Rooted
    - Running a Motorola ICS leak (.206, .208, .211, etc)
    - I recommend that you run Safestrap v2.00 to install this. Here's how to use Safestrap
    And you can download Safestrap for the Droid 4 (v2.x for ICS-leak users) here:
    Safestrap « Hash-of-Codes

    WHAT can I expect to work right now?
    - 4G and basic phone function
    - All sensors
    - Camera, Panorama and Face-unlock
    - Video Recording
    - HD YouTube
    - Netflix

    Current Known Issues?
    - Data connection is a work in progress. It's MUCH better than it used to be in the old ICS builds, however there is always room for improvement. Due to the "global" data connection style of stock Motorola ICS, this problem will probably continue to be worked on. Feedback is always appreciated, but if you see it posted already then there's a good chance I know about specific issues.
    - Currently, there is a bug in the rotation display of the phone. What I mean is, that when you take the phone and rotate it, the display will squeeze in on itself and then pop back out. This is a *known* issue and I'm working very hard to fix it.
    - The CM9 built-in Wifi Tether won't work. You need to use the "Wifi Tether" app that's bundled into the ROM. Once you open it, hit [menu] and "Settings". Select "Change Device-Profile" to "Generic ICS".
    - I'm sure there's more, I'll update this list here in a bit.

    WHO works on this?
    Myself and @DHacker29 work as a team to build AOSP-based ROMs (and device setups) for several Motorola phones. Typically, I do the coding work in C, C++ or Java while DHacker maintains the blobs, runs merges with CM/AOKP sources, and solves device issues which require less coding.

    WHAT is a "nightly"?
    It's an automated build ran from a script. It basically: deletes the current set of output files, sync's with github, and then attempts to do a brand new build. It can break at times, in which case we'll fix it (usually this happens when there are framework changes which didn't get merged).

    WHY would I want this?
    - Since we work on several devices, this is how we decided to start keeping builds up-to-date. Rather than spend several hours a week on builds and uploading. This happens automatically every night around 2am PST.
    - It's up to you the community to identify good "stable" builds.

    Well I can assist in your issue.

    I too was skeptical at first about safestrap but its pretty self explanatory.
    You have the concept down that it backs up your original system 1 and creates a system 2 to then be altered and flashed without touching system 1.

    I had the Droid X and that had a locked bootloader as well.
    From my research a locked bootloader just denies the "lowest" level of access to the phone which includes flashing radios and kernels.

    Other than that, Yes you can install D4 Safestrap which acts just as CWM Recovery in order to flash this Rom and or others.

    Remember when flashing to ENABLE safestrap before you flash and always backup, wipe data, cache, and dalvik

    Hope that helps explain some of it to you.

    I have ICS this beta running on my D4 like a champ

    Just tried installing using safestrap and bootlooped. Had to hard reboot to get back to safestrap recovery and back in to stock ROM. Anyone else tried this yet? Might try again tonight when I get home and let the battery charge up a bit.

    Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
    I was able to get it installed and working just fine under safestrap. Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvick?

    That was it. First time I've used safestrap. I figured since I did not have a previous ROM installed in Safemode that I did not need to wipe. Went back in, wiped data and cache and now I am in business. Looking good Hash!

    One question though, I tried to wipe dalvik and it said it could not find sd-ext. Any idea what that is about?

    Edit: Feels so good to be flashing ROMs again!!!
