The way battery level is calculated on Droid 4 is weird compared to newer devices. Basically it depends on closed userspace daemon. I tried to fix it and supposed I've fixed it before (the conditions when it starts and when it fails are pretty uncertain), but going to look again then with newer SailfishOS build.

The mainlining work for Droid 4 is pretty cool and I'm aware of it, however, the issue is there is no 3D acceleration support, and SailfishOS UI would be painfully useless with software rendering. If any way to port PowerVR kernel driver to mainline and use PowerVR blobs is found, Maemo Leste will benefit from this as well, see for details: https://leste.maemo.org/Motorola_Droid_4/PowerVR
