Just confirming that everything is stable now. Sound and LTE switching works very well on 5-30.
Is anyone else having issues receiving MMS messages? I can get text messages fine, and can send MMS, but can't receive MMS... very odd.
I'm currently on 6/1 but I can update to a newer one if that might fix it.

It shouldn't take 15 minutes. 4 - 5 at the most has been my experience. I've seen others reporting the same boot loop issue on the newer builds. Might want to try an older build. Maybe first week of June or so.
Got a D4 today as my graduation gift, jumping ship from CM9 on D2, loving the stability I got on day one here, seeing no issues at all, besides the expected problems with camera.
I'm running 20120615 on mine, no problems so far at all. Using it is as a test phone at the moment though so no SIM card and thus no confirmation that voice/text/mobile data works. Did not see any issues flashing it with latest safestrap, also added gapps. Wiped system, data, cache. First boot was a few minutes.
Hashcode just released an alpha build of the leak-based CM9! https://twitter.com/Hashcode0f/status/215566777239879680

Well hello JJB, I wish you had told me somebody had done the dirty work for me!
But thanks again for telling me at all.

Using the ICS-Leak alpha, anyone else having extremely flaky and touchy data? Not just 4G, any data.
LOL, Sorry, I thought you wanted to bake up your own.
It was funky for me at first. I dsiabled Safeboot and went back to the stock leak, went in to data and found the mode was in GSM Global (or something like that). Swithed it back to LTE/CDMA then re-enanble safe and booted CM9, data still running fine today, 10 hrs later. Maybe try the same thing, or check the settings under System settings, Wireless & Networks, Mobile Networks and make sure you have LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA set.
One other thing I noticed on the older ICS AOKP CM9 roms, after a reboot, sometimes the data wouldn't come on, but if I made a phone call (I just called 611), let it connect then hang up, data would come up right after that. Maybe a permissions/group setting, or maybe I'm just f'in crazy. I can't recall if I had to do that on this one yet.
Udate: Spoke too soon. 5 minutes after posting the 4g icon disappeared and "LTE" was disabled in the Notfication bar and counld't be re-enabled. Rebooted and stuck on roaming. Had to switch to LTE / CDMA only and that took a few tries to do as it didn't save my selection corretly the first coupple of tries.

17FLASHING 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.

[ COMING SOON ]2Well 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 champ2
I was able to get it installed and working just fine under safestrap. Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvick?2
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!!!
