On a different note, has anybody got applications that use the microphone working on SD 5.6? I can't get Shazam, Sound Hound or even the microphone sensor on Elixir to respond. Also, am I right in thinking that Opera and Google Chrome don't display anything because hardware codecs aren't available yet?

I once had the voice problem.

Try this, Go into ROM Settings and go into the area about the On Screen Navigation buttons. Turn them on, Then Reboot your phone. When It starts up; Go into an app that uses the mic. If it works, Hold down the power button until the menu pops up, Then Click the little power button under the label "Navigation" (NOT THE ONE THAT TURNS OFF YOUR PHONE) If done correctly, It should disable the Navigation bar, But all Mic apps should work now. If this doesn't work, I'll help your cross that bridge when we get there.

Is There a way i can put this Rom on a phone without going back to the 5.6.890 SBF. i recently got a replacement phone from Verizon and it came with 5.7.906 SBF. would i be able to use the ovelayer .906 to .860? or do you think i would have problems since it has hidden .906 files?

I was at .906 when I flashed this ROM. Are you rooted? If not, Use MotoFail DROID 4 ROOT. Not the other one. (Which Name Has Slipped My Mind)

Yeah. Only MotoFail DROID 4 works with .906.

Yea im rooted. I tried this rom on. 906 before like a few days ago and it wouldn't make it past the loading screen.
So I went to flash back and I softbricked my phone. What should I do if it doesn't load up this time.

I haven't actually tested this method but a quick Google search yielded this via RootzWiki. (If anyone can confirm/deny that this really works, that'd be great).

As for flashing SD 5.6 and getting past the boot animation, I found that this guide was extremely helpful in getting everything flashed properly and the rom working as it should.

And I'm sure you've done this already, but make sure you download one of the SafeStrap APKs from the original post and set that up before meddling with your phone.

EDIT: Also, it's worth noting I did this while running on .906.

Thanks for your help. It turned out to be an intermittent issue and a reboot resolved it. My bad!

I've followed your steps precisely. I am still stuck at the boot screen. I even reverted back to .890 from .906, i dont even know what to try anymore it just sits there and boots, and boots, and boots infinitely. Do you have any idea what could be this problem? I used safestrap, rooted my phone with motofail, but yet nothing is to avail.
