OK folks I've got good news.

Potentially.

No jinxes here hopefully.

I think I may have fixed the Random FC issue. Please cross your fingers. I'm testing for a few hours, then will push a release to OTA.

EDIT: Our team has already gone over our paid bandwidth... therefore OTA will not work because it requires download verification. Please use the download link on post 2. Thanks!

I will notify everyone of the update forthcoming within a few hours.
[RAZR HD Android Development] thejondude:
where do I change vibration intensity.... its different than normal CM settings :(
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
There's an AOKP-style Vibrations settings category in ROMSettings... is that what you need?
[RAZR HD Android Development] thejondude:
I think that just changes the pattern

In CM under settings>advanced there is an option for intensity (screen shot from my S4)
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
New files are up. There will be no OTA for this, as we have gone over our TB bandwidth.

Check out the 2nd post for the newest build on mediafire!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
Lies!

Edit: unless you meant the 13th. Tried that yesterday it locks up and runs hot. I'd recommend anyone on XT926 flash an older xenon for a few days.

Edit: and by flash an older xenon I mean flash any ROM older then 6/12
[RAZR HD Android Development] jldr:
...Are we still talking about phones here?
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
It's a new 13th build. look at the date timestamp
[RAZR HD Android Development] donnyp1:
Thank you for that extremely helpful post!
[RAZR HD Android Development] coolbird:
Is there a way to allow status pulldown in extended desktop mode when the status bar is hidden?

Another thing, I am still having SOD issue when the screen rotation is on in the latest build.

The ROM runs great otherwise.

Thanks for the hard work!
[RAZR HD Android Development] chansom:
SOD happens so frequent..:crying:
[RAZR HD Android Development] hollovoid:
Looks like Dhacker posted a build of CM that may have that, and hdmi out fixed. Gonna jump in and see whats up! If thats all set all the roms may be fixed in the near future.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
New build has all of dhacker's latest fixes, and one of mine which may have finally solved the random FC issue: http://www.mediafire.com/download/xpxjjtvsjav59ud/update-XenonHD-06-15-13-signed-xt926.zip
[RAZR HD Android Development] radzer0:
Ive actually been running that June 12th CM10.1 rom for 2 days now. I had one time the screen wouldnt come back on and i had to force a reboot but never had any lockups, nice and speedy, everything works. Best rom ive seen yet as far as stability and function. Going to wait for a few more xenon revisions before i try it again as for the moment im great.
[RAZR HD Android Development] HoochieCoo:
It booted fine, but I was getting random blue screen flashes.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
One of my testers was having the same problem but it went away after he did a restore of an older backup and reflagged on top of it. Seriously on my phone this is the most stable it's been since they fixed camcorder

EDIT: According to dhacker, you can fix the blue flicker by going into build.prop and changing the following line:

debug.composition.type=dyn

to

debug.composition.type=c2d
[RAZR HD Android Development] DroidOnRoids:
Worked like a charm, thanks. Question though regarding the deep sleep SOD. I have not experienced it yet but is it fixable by upping the Min freq or is it already fixed in the 6/15 build?

EDIT: Never mind. The blue screen flickering is back on the c2d screen composition and now the UI is being sluggish. Hmmm.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Did you reboot after modifying build.prop?

Also, dhacker did fix the SOD.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DroidOnRoids:
Yes, I did reboot. And thanks.
[RAZR HD Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Bytecode of Code Kernel fame mentioned just a bit ago that Dhacker was going to try and fix the flickering tonight. Some kernel issue.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Only issue i have is how to turn off the freaking battery light while charging.... There is nothing in settings - display (like on other roms) and settings - Rom settings - led doesnt work. I know it appears to be a "common" problem on this ROM but it's my biggest (and only) gripe.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
I'll get to that at some point...
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
No worries. Far from a deal breaker. Otherwise, very very nice work. Thanks.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Update with fix for blue flickelr posted. This should be the one guys!
[RAZR HD Android Development] southcarolinacowboy:
Hey I was just thinking about possibly rooting and flashing xenon. I read this entire thread, but I'm still uncertain about the condition of the ROM. Have y'all had time to get all the bugs worked out of the latest release? I like my stock phone fine other than the bloat ware using up all of my RAM. Also, I know that rooting voids warranty, but would I be able to revert and make it unknown that it was ever rooted? Thanks...

[RAZR HD Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Xenon is very good. One of the best really. But the razr team just made a few fixes that upset the world. If you are concerned about stability, I would wait a few days for the kinks to get worked out.
[RAZR HD Android Development] southcarolinacowboy:
Ok thanks for the reply. I think I may go ahead and root when I get time off from work. I'm sick of my phone having to be rebooted several times a day because all my RAM is used up and the phone's locked up. At least I'll be able to freeze apps with titanium or something...

By the way, if I did root and then unroot, and an issue arose where I needed to use warranty, would they likely be able to tell it'd been rooted?

Flashed update, got blue flicker, edited prop mod, rebooted, still had blue flicker, made sure edit stuck (it had), pressed home button, system froze and had to reboot. I'm pretty frustrated.
[RAZR HD Android Development] brewdarrymore:
Just another review: tried new version of rom (06-15-13) and have blue blinking screen, video playback working alright, rom look like nice for me. But i have some issues: i use my phone in gsm network and signal indicator haven't at least one bar but i still can make a calls, at first. At second, can't run ussd codes, phone running it like a calls not ussd. Can this be fixed?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
When bug reporting flash latest version. Your a day behind. The blue screen issue is fixed. As for your service, try freezing the 'Sim Toolkit' app and see if there is a difference.
[RAZR HD Android Development] localceleb:
Incorrect. The blue screen flicker still exists on the latest build. Several people have reported it. I'm also getting the flicker on the latest build.
[RAZR HD Android Development] beboo55:
you have 2 options for the signal thing, i am sure you do not have data too, so whether to flash the same ROM but xt925 version, for me this the best option really or you can try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316943
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
I can confirm this, flashed the current build a few hours ago and the blue flicker was very much still there.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
I have had none at all. Everything running great except a few sensors are not returning data like pitch and roll.

Camera and video awesome, gallery plays back flawless. Battery not running crazy hot and draining like mad.
[RAZR HD Android Development] theripper:
Lots of blue flicker for me too. Just saw this post - http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...truly-stable-fast-buttery-smooth/#entry299662 and it's true, "Disable HW Overlays" does seem to calm the blue flickering down. I haven't seen any more since setting that option (ok so it's only been 3 min, but that's longer than I've gone without a blue flash yet).
[RAZR HD Android Development] DonKilluminati23:
I had a ton of the blue flicker on today's update, so much it made it unusable. I wonder why all of us are experiencing this while only a couple claim to not see it at all.. strange.
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
There must be commonality among the people who are seeing the blue flickers. I for one an running in Dark Xenon mode and using Apex launcher.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Looks like the blinking issue only affects 50% of users... I never had it at all. A factory reset is strongly suggested.. Back up your apps, you'll be fine.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
So am I and no flicker.
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
It's so odd, I ran a lot of the other versions that people had the flickers on and never saw them. The build I flashed today was insane with it. Weird.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DonKilluminati23:
What's very strange is that even after editing the .prop I still had the blue flicker.. oh well I give up, I just restored a backup, I'll stay on that till things get smoothed out a bit more.
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
Yeah, I restored about an hour after installing 6-16, it was just unusable on my phone.
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
I can confirm blue flicker with current build using apex launcher, but don't know how much the launcher had to do with it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
Exactly, hard to track down stuff like this sometimes.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
You guys are using the 6/16 build, right?

http://www.mediafire.com/download/7d0c4mh37dtyhbr/update-XenonHD-06-16-13-signed-xt926.zip

Also, remember to change the prop back after you flash this... as it's no longer needed.

EDIT: Use the link in post 2 instead. I'll be uploading a fresh 6/16 build.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
It really sucks that none of the developers or official testers are experiencing it at all, you know?

Sorry... not much more we can do... I'll try little fixes but this is out of my league. I'm going to try a build that worked for others. Stand by... should be up in a few hours.

It will be 6/16 again - please redownload and flash in about 20 minutes.
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
Using that build but didn't do anything with prop. Did I miss a step?
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Just because the build date matches doesn't mean it's the same build. Check the date uploaded on mediafire for accuracy.

UPDATE: New links posted. http://www.mediafire.com/download/2gx80su6bj28sgn/update-XenonHD-06-16-13-signed-xt926.zip
[RAZR HD Android Development] Vnvjeep:
The way I cured my blue flicker doesn't make sense but this is how...

-Did a factory reset and loaded 6/15... had blue flicker

-Booted to recovery and made nandroid backup

-Restored an earlier version, no blue flicker

-Upgraded to 6/15, got blue flicker back again

-Restored my 6/15 nandroid, blue flicker DISAPPEARED!

I also stopped using the MSM governor... now I'm on OnDemand with Noop. I had turned off all window animations but turned them back on. I haven't made any prop changes. I use Nova launcher, but never saw blue flicker there ... only saw it in menus, gmail, g+, etc.

Hope this helps? I know it's frustrating. Lets hope another bug is found that eliminates it for good.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
If your build doesn't work and you're still getting the blue flicker try this and report back: http://www.mediafire.com/download/dkaugarxyluk6k3/update-XenonHD-06-16-13-signed-xt926-reverted.zip
[RAZR HD Android Development] Vnvjeep:
And just so you all know... if you can get past the blue flicker, the FCs and SODs are gone now too... this is one of the best builds I've gotten to test. Good luck guys!
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
Tried this build but flicker is still present. Doesn't appear that much, but is still present.
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
Flicker on the newest build here too. I didn't see it till I spent some time in settings menu, but once it started it was pretty bad.
[RAZR HD Android Development] localceleb:
Same here. Every time I flash a new build i think everything is all gravy then out of nowhere BOOM blue flashes. Takes like 5 minutes and then goes crazy.
[RAZR HD Android Development] JungleKing76:
Just installed this rom fresh from eclipse. Was hesitant because of talk of the blue flicker. When I first booted up the flickering was there but I just went ahead and played around setting up my phone the way I like anyway. All of a sudden no blue flicker. Been running for about 8 hrs now with absolutely no bugs to mention.

Awesome ROM!

People with flicker issue, are you guys running Greenify? I flashed dhackers 6/16 build and had flicker. I uninstalled Greenify and so far no flicker. Will report back.
[RAZR HD Android Development] croso:
Getting blue flicker now too after it was fine all day. No idea is this has anything to do with it but it started immediately after using the sonos app.

Also if this helps the Lux red "nightmode" overlay seems to cure it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DonKilluminati23:
No, I have had the flicker before installing any apps at all.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tha Maxx:
Please watch before you ask

[YOUTUBE]I13bKSTrNX0[/YOUTUBE]
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Actually, the revert was just to see if the flicker was caused by my FC fix. But it isn't *phew*.

DO NOT use the revert build anymore. Flash the regular build of 6/16.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Still trying to figure out led issue. As for torch in Power menu, I'll slip it in our list of todos...
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
From the DroidRzr forum:
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
In Bytecode's kernel thread on Droidrzr he is saying that ROMs built with the 6-17 kernel commits are free of the blue menace.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
6/17 builds in the oven as we speak...

Sweet, this is my favorite rom of all the ones I've tried. Looking forward to working camcorder and no Smurf lightening. :D

Downloading now, take that data plan!
[RAZR HD Android Development] southcarolinacowboy:
Question: by " take that data plan" do you mean that this ROM gets around the limited data somehow or something? Just curious, I still have unlimited data myself. Also, will my phone still be able to sync with Facebook contacts and google calendars and all? I haven't even rooted my phone yet, but I was thinking about it since this thing is giving me so much trouble managing ram and lagging and locking up

[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Lol it's good but not that good!
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
Lol! Sorry, that's not what I meant at all. I no longer have unlimited but a 4GB share plan. I typically won't download roms over 4G at work but decided to for this one.

Sadly though I still got the blue flickers. They cropped up before I had turned off auto-brightness and nearly gave me a seizure. I think it may be a form of attempted mind control related to the NSA Prism project. The gub'mint is inside my head! :banghead:
[RAZR HD Android Development] southcarolinacowboy:
Haha ok thanks for clearing that up for me. I take it everything else works like the sync contacts, calendars and all?

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
That had all worked on previous versions of this rom, I assume they do on this version too. Can't confirm that as I have reverted back to 6-4 build due to the blue menace still being present in the kernel.
[RAZR HD Android Development] southcarolinacowboy:
Ok, I'm awaiting everything to be fixed so I can root and flash xenon and try er out. How hard is it to return stock?

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD
[RAZR HD Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
I'm on the latest, blue flicker has reappeared. I didn't have it in previous two build. Is repeatable for me, only happens when waking phone, and is done by the time I unlock phone. Otherwise all is good

Edit: anyone else notice random sensor failure? Auto brightness is basically == 50% bright . pitch and roll sensors return no data. But hey! I can talk to Dragon and voice type now :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
I have not fully reverted to stock settings so I couldn't say for sure, but it's usually fairly easy. There are stock based roms though.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
You've gotta be kidding... reappeared? I'm starting to doubt my beast of an MSI.... the last two builds were built on the ASUS.
[RAZR HD Android Development] y2kbadbug:
Yeah. Latest build, get the blue flickering :(

I really wanted to note, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful , but I feel as though the topic shows a little false advertising due to the fact the ROM is not stable. I like it but won't be able to use it until this flickering problem is removed. I will definitely use it then. Thanks for your hard work though man.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
I know this is sloppy reporting, but, my first post I had used Bytecode's latest N21 kernel from this afternoon(I assumed they were from the same commits). I just did a complete wipe and used the included xenon kernel and have had no blue screens for some time now...

so, blue screens are either user-error at this point or luck of the draw based somethingsomething bad install.

Edit: did a complete flash again to tinker, some blue flash returned. Only difference this time is Crossbreeder installed. So if it wasn't Bytecode Kernel, its probably not crossbreeder, I'll keep testing.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
For me, it's 100% stable. No flickering. No SOD. No Force closes. At all...
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Can someone else verify?

Remember in order to make sure none of the settings have been carried over to the new build, a factory restore, cache and dalvik wipe, and system wipe is highly encouraged before flashing.

UPDATE:

I wiped and reflashed the build to verify. No flashes here... there's something else that's causing your blue flashes, whether it be a remnant from a previous flash, or whatever. I've seen the blue flash on other items... our official testers have seen it but it has gone away for them, like I said, with either a factory reset or restore from backup. Sans blue flash, this rom is VERY stable.
[RAZR HD Android Development] y2kbadbug:
I will try doing that, completely erasing EVERYTHING, and reflashing. I will even redownload. If I get the blue flickering again, I report back :)

UPDATE:

Nope, no success, even after starting completely fresh the blue flickering returned :(
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
For those who are pros: Try erasing the boot partition fastboot erase boot in fastboot then booting into recovery and flashing the rom again/fastboot flashing another kernel

WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR NOOBS OR THE FAINT OF HEART - YOU COULD SERIOUSLY BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WORKING KERNEL or ROM IN STORAGE.

Having said that, for all others, I just re-updated the ROM with additional pushes. Here's the link:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4vbspax5403j108/update-XenonHD-06-17-13-signed-xt926.zip
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
Currently downloading the 6/17 build. I will flash this after wiping everything included system and give this another shot. Also to the guy who doesn't thinks the rom is false advisement, go back to a stock ROM. This forum is obviously for people who want to work resolve the issue. Will report back soon.

UPDATE:

Flash the 6/17 build after performing factory settings, mounting then wiping system, and wiped both cache. I have restored all my apps and so far, no blue flicker. I will report back if I see any flickering.

UPDATE 2:

After about 30 min, the blue flicking returned.
[RAZR HD Android Development] localceleb:
I find it very odd that the flickers are not consistent across the board on everyone's phone. With that being said, I have had blue flashes on every build so far since the problem started happening and none of the "little tricks" people were reporting had any effect on my device. I flashed the first 6-17 build earlier and had blue flickers. I disabled the HW overlays and that seemed to have made them go away. For now at least. The problem is still there I believe. FWIW ..
[RAZR HD Android Development] raymondrbowman:
I used Mattlgroff Droid Razr HD utility 1.20 to return 100% stock, reroot, and reinstall TWRP, then wiped everything and installed the last link you posted with out gapps. Within seconds the flicker started. I did notice that you can make it flicker while in the setting scroll heavily all the way up or down and once you see the bottom or top light up with the faint blue the flicker will follow. I disable HW overlays and can no longer make it flicker.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
I just clean flashed Today's revision 3. To guarantee a blue flicker I will open app listing at let it sit for 30 seconds, then the flicker gets progressively worse the longer I wait on screen from there. Just disabled hardware overlay like raymondrbowman here suggests and the flicker is gone.

Edit: need to toggle hw overlay on every boot.

Edit: idk I don't care. I'll flash again in a few days.
[RAZR HD Android Development] y2kbadbug:
Please read what I said before getting entirely out of line with this. I intended that to be for no offense, but I come from a background of quality assurance and administration which defines to me an entirely different value of "stable". I have been able to work around the blue flickering by disabling hardware overlays. Now that the blue flickering is gone by this, the rom appears to be great.

I really dislike people who are just trying to actually start fights. Please have an open mind to my posts. Thank you.
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
Not trying to start a fight (and please be careful about your assumptions), I just feel that saying that this ROM is false advisement is counter-productive. If you read the all the latest post, it is obvious that the ROM is going through some growing pain and that many people are having the same issues.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Plus, for the most part, its the kernel that's being worked out, not the ROM itself. Fwiw, I am a QA professional myself.
[RAZR HD Android Development] animez:
I was going to say the same thing, the rom is not the issue, it's the kernel. People are getting the blue flicker on CM as well if the devs are baking in the current kernel commits.
[RAZR HD Android Development] JungleKing76:
I have noticed for me if I disable halo I get crazy blue flicker. But as long as I have halo turned on and active I do not have a single blue flicker.

OK now that's just weird....
[RAZR HD Android Development] Vnvjeep:
I think Pete agrees... but if you dont want to go thru the fastboot commands, the other way to do this is to make a nandroid of your current blue flashing build, and restore it... We believe it has the same effect whereby it destroys the boot partition and rebuilds it on the restore... that's what seems to have made mine work.
