New weather widget, good battery life and security improvements
With B4 and new baseband, there is some noticeable improvements with signal strength and battery life.
Since B4 uses ZV9, do I need to install that baseband first? Or can I flash B4 over B3 (it's been awhile, but I believe the phone is using ZV7).
If I can flash B4 over B3, can I do a dirty flash? Or do I need to wipe everything and do a clean flash?
I flash B4 over B3, and also flash the new baseband right after flashing B4. I wiped my cache partition as well before I rebooted. My phone is working fine. I guess it is up to you if you want to do a clean flash.
I pushed out a version in the OP that uses ZV9 (along with the corresponding flashable baseband zip), it's named B4 but the only change from B3 is the RILs. I rolled back the SMS split fix that failed, despite the file having the same name.
Is it necessary to flash a baseband after flashing B4, I am only asking for clarification since several here are advocating flashing a baseband after flashing B4. It was my understanding from your post that the ZV9 Baseband was included in the B4 package.
The only thing that is changed in B4 is the RIL. If you only flash B4, your phone will still be using the ZV7 baseband. In the change log there is a link to the ZV9 baseband.
Any way we could get it from a different mirror? Getting the 509 drop box (too much traffic) error.
Thanks!
