If I were to buy a new one, any brands, sizes, or classes that work better than others to your knowledge?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
SanDisk is probably the best, but several good brands, Samsung, Sony, Lexar...

Biggest you can afford, and depend on how much you want to store on it. you can get 32GB for about $15, 64GB for $30 or less...

Class is the read/write speed

likely you don't want anything less class 10, if you want to record video.

Motorola Droid can handle the largest Micro SD Cards available. which is 128GB?

there are some fakes out there, read reviews...

But if you haven't even tried to do a quick format, there likely isn't anything physically wrong with the one you have.

It's not unusual for a the file system to become corrupted, a quick format usually fixes that, and it may be readable on some devices and not others.

Just back up data first, if it is still readable.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
That's exactly what I was looking for. I have a spare Google Express voucher, so I've got $25 to spend. Gonna get a flash drive for work, but looking at it, I can get this Sandisk 32GB Class 10 for $16.95 with a little to spare for a flash drive.

I did manage to get my current SD Card into a reader and transfer over the data last night. Took several hours, but it moved my pictures no problem as far as I can tell. Just wish I had been able to salvage the pictures that were on my phone that must have been wiped in this whole ordeal, but at least I was good about backing things up on Copy. Got the last photo I ever took with my grandmother saved on there, so that's all that matters. I'll try a format tonight, and maybe I'll be fine.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
looked in /sdcard/DCIM, /sdcard/LOST.DIR, and same for /sdcard-ext/ ?

Try changing File extension for files in LOST.DIR to .jpg

Alway Backup your data so you always have 3 copies, Original and to 2 other copies.

1 copy Off site, 1 copy on a different media (CD, flash memory, online, hard drive...)

Google + app can auto sync your photos, 3g/LTE, or Wifi only, if you select standard size it doesn't even count against your google account storage.

There is even a Windows google Plus photo app, that will auto backup selected folders

Anyone here know how to change the OTA base URL?

Does anyone here know how to change the /Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates/ URL? I love OTA updates for CM11 and use them all the time. No need for Gapps, tap to install, and the script does all the work. But since CyanogenMod pretty much killed the CM11 downloads for our OTA updates, the only thing we ever see are CM12 "updates" which everyone knows you cannot do via OTA. We *can* however put our own rom files in the /sdcard/cmupdater/ folder and still use the OTA feature to update and even to downgrade w/out losing updates and system data.

Is the URL to CyanogenMod Updates "hard coded" into the phone or is there a config file we can edit somewhere to change that URL to the download site of our choice such as Michael's UNOFFICIAL builds on:

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

Who knows, maybe another developer will team up with [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] and the download site would change again. I have been politely trying to get Michael's attention to this one particular question but so far, I am having no luck whatsoever in getting his attention. Perhaps some of you know this?

I use an Droid Razr XT912 but our phones are so similar that this answer should cover all of us. I will be rewriting my Online Guide for CM11 in the next several days when I see my doctor. Quite a bit has changed like installing CM11 to stock (I now have "hands on" experience) and my URL to the GSM patch for XT912 was pointed out to me by the developer to be an old version, I need to update to the newest version and update the downloadable version as well.

This is a good thread, you folks really help each other a lot in here. Cheers! :)
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
download the un/official CM11 w/md5 for your device

place in /sdcard/cmupdater

goto settings>about phone>updates

select the unofficial rom (install icon right of name)

likely will have to force reboot to safestrap recovery

once in recovery, updater script should auto run, and reboot device to updated rom

Changing the cm updater.apk to see new unofficial builds on stargo's site is fairly involved I believe.

but manually dropping the new build in to the cmupdater folder seems to work fine, other than the reboot to recovery part.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
I'll look there, but with all that you and I did before with RSDLite, flashing the OS over and over, I'd be surprised if anything's left on the phone. I am typically good with uploading things to Copy, and all I think I probably lost would have been a few photos from a night out recently. I learned my lesson years ago when my ol' Creative Zen bit the dust and took all of my non-backed up music with it.

I started using the Nano GApps because I thought Google+ was a drain on battery life. I think one time I noticed there were some wakelocks due to it, and the only benefit from the app that I saw was the Photos extension.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
So that was it.

I took my old Droid 4 and just wiped it, installed a Stock OS, rooted, installed Safestrap, and installed Recovery in one attempt. A corrupted Micro SD Card caused this whole issue. I've seen peripherals cause issues in PCs booting and functioning, but never memory in a cell phone.

Online CM11 Guide Updated

Hello Folks!

Although this Guide was written for Droid Razr phones, the differences between them and the Droid 4 are so miniscule as not to exist. I hope that at least some of you find this guide useful and it can be found always in my signature.

Guide: CM11 Performance and Maintenance on XDA Developers​

The popular CM11 Online Guide has been updated today to reflect recent changes such as how to install to stock, correction and update to the GSM patch thanks to [MENTION=5003013]Mentor.37[/MENTION] for the update, Mr. Chen's stock install guide, and the Titanium Backup procedure to restore almost everything you have, the intelligent way thanks to [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION].

Trimmer (fstrim) is now being recommended to trim your sdcard because not only does it do a good job, it also contains an easy to use schedule feature and is totally free!

I am actually running out of character space for the post, I totally removed the "writing to sdcard" issue in cm11 because that has been fixed a long time ago and has no place on the page. This gave me a little more room to get the important stuff included. The downloadable, clickable link pdf file has also been updated so that you can download and save a fresh, up to date version of the guide for offline use. The last update is listed at the top of the page:

UPDATED: Monday, May 11, 2015

I have reached my size limit so now I must concentrate on content. This is MUCH more up to date than previous versions. I will do some more minor updates in the upcoming weeks. e.g.: I want OTA updating method kept on the page with instructions to put your desired update rom in the /sdcard/cmupdater slot and then use OTA as you would have in the past. No need for gapps, it is quick and hassle free! Hope that some of you find it useful and thank you all very much for your contributions. Credits have been extended to those who have since contributed. Goodnight guys! :D
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
You could start your own thread, and split this into several posts...
[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
LOL! :laugh:

I tapped your Thanks button because you made me laugh! Man, that page is a LOT of work. It really has just about reached it's necessary size. I mean really, just how big should a performance and maintenance page be? I removed all of the "write to sdcard" issue stuff since that subject is long ago closed.

Nah, I am just going to finish updating this page as I go, much of it is now done. And then, make a new page for a new subject when I gain the necessary experience for it and there is a demand for such a page.

Also, seriously "thanks". I *did* ask you about how to become an RC and you are answering my question. Before I can get that attached to something like that, I have personal issues like finances and health to work on, plus I am tired of being single for too long. My last GF was a LOT of fun but her lack of maturity beat me like 199 new rectums. It has taken me quite a while to get over it and work up the nerve to start dating again. Thank you for the support my friend. :D

Someone has a fix to caller ID when you recieve a call?...When I make a call, on history call, recent call says the contact name (that it's ok), but if that person or other call me, no matter if i have it on contact list..on history calls, recent call, it shows his number instaed of his contact name... thanks!

[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
Wow, I have never seen or heard of that issue before! I assume you are talking about the Phone App with blue handset icon? Here are some screenshots of my Phone App with just enough blur to protect privacy, the real phone numbers and names are really there.

1st screenshot is Phone 3 dot menu, showing 3 items to check that may help, I keep these items checked.

2nd screenshot is Phone History, shows pictures and name (Or calling phone number if not in contacts.)

3ed screenshot is Phone History item with clock icon tapped, showing details.

4th screenshot is Smart Call Logs main page.

5th screenshot is Smart Call Logs. individual

To make sure this is an App issue and not a device or rom issue, can you use a really good, free 3rd party Call Hiistory app to check with? This one is free and appears to be *very* good:

Smart Call Logs There are a ton of these apps out there but this one looks good and the reviews are all very good. I am installing it now to make sure it does what it should. Oh yes, this is quite nice for a Call History. I like it and although I do not really need it because my Phone History works just fine, I will keep it for a while because I like it and will just keep it hibernated with Greenify until I tap it.

[MENTION=4381343]rblanca[/MENTION] can you install and try the Smart Call Logs App to see if that actually works? There are quite a few different free Call Log Apps, this one appears to work quite well and looks nice. Then we can see if problem is in your Phone App or device or rom. I don't think it is the Phone app, but this 3rd party Call History app will show us for sure where the problem might lay. Give it a try and let us know. :good:
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], no offense intended, but I can still read the names and phone numbers of you contacts through your blur.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
I found the problem it was when you have your contacts using international dial, the phone doesnt associate with your phone contact on recent call or history screen...sorry 4 my bad english.

By the way...stargo [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] would be great getting a new cm11 m13!

[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
That's okay Brian. No one on that screenshot has anything of value or anything to hide. I was "gentle" with the gaussian blur to make it easier to see. Thanks for the heads up, though! :good:

Stargo does not make OFFICIAL builds for cm11 anymore. CyanogenMod had closed the OMAP4 cm11 development channel, there will be NO MORE OFFICIAL OR M SNAPSHOT BUILDS! ...so anything that stargo does and will release now will be UNOFFICIAL and there will be no more snapshots. Grab his most recent roms for your Razr here, newest and best ones are at the bottom of the list.

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

Cheers Mates! :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
I knew there aren't goint any new official snapshot build but stargo said in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60611703 that maybe it will be an updated cm11 m13 official or not...in any case thanks for answer :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
Michael was speaking on behalf of CM when he said that. The company knows that the M12 snapshot was a total bomb and to save face, did say there might be one more OFFICIAL CM13 SNAPSHOT. That was a LONG time ago. CM corporate has not done a thing with CM11 for OMAP4 in

months

.

Michael cannot release M SNAPSHOTS on his own because that is a trademarked CyanogenMod corporate release. CM has thrown all the developer resources they have into CM12, there are no "extra OMAP4 developers" to remain on CM11. But, Michael *does have* an OMAP4 phone, a Droid 4. He wants his own phone to be dependable, fast, run well, and always be reliable. So it is "a given" that he will continue to develop cm11 builds for the 4 devices: Droid 4 = maserati, Razr XT912 = spyder, Razr XT910 = umts_spyder, Bionic = targa. Michael is one of the most talented, friendly, decent, and honest guys I ever had the pleasure to meet, at least on video chat. Snapshots are officially "out" but darned good, UNOFFICIAL updates we can look forward to as long as Michal has his Droid 4 and there are things he is able to address personally and can find things that "need fixing".

You are very welcome and no, I am not "always right". :o

Thanks for bringing the topic to the forefront for those members that are still "on the fence" about moving CM11 to stock (I already have) or are just waiting for a new build. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], out of curiosity, what makes you think my name is Brian?;)
[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
[MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION]

Uhmm, I am not sure. I think it was in a PM that you sent me since you never release your real name in the group. Am I wrong? Would you like me to stop saying that? Correct me if I am wrong, Bob, or just say "don't want to say" and I will respect that. :o

I cannot find a single PM that you have sent me. Now I really am curious as to where I got that. It must have been in a post, "somewhere". That or I have you confused as someone else. :confused:

I searched everywhere and cannot find it. Must have you confused with Brian Hughes. You can remain anonymous as "Bobcus Leper" or give it up and join the family. :D

As our CM11 Razr ROM thread matured, it became a very welcoming, warm, and friendly place to be. A few members now became more comfortable and natural in the thread and started using their real photos for their avatars. A few started signing off on posts and PM with their real first names. It brought us closer together. Now "Casper" is not some cartoon friendly ghost, but he is Danial. We still call him casper but he was forthcoming enough to tell us who he really is and put his real picture on his avatar. I did that from a LONG time ago but did not feel comfortable until this thread "changed" and moved away from "The Old Boy's Club" culture. ;)

EDIT:

Oh here is where I got it from:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55855039&postcount=6142

That is actually Brian Hughes. So for now, you are just plain old who knows "Bobcus Leper", the little green Android bot. ...just when I *thought* we were making friendly progress. :(
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
Thanks [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], you are very welcoming and kind. But for now, I'd prefer Bob.
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION], is it possible to include the latest OMAP-4 kernel changes in a new cm11 build? In this case I'm talking about the boost driver. Will the boost driver even work in the cm11 branch, or will it only work in the cm12.1 branch? It would be really awesome to have the boost driver in cm11.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Just changing the URL will not work, you need additional support on the server-side which provides you with a specially formatted list of ROMs for (only) your current device and which is then parsed by the updater. I did that in the beginning of cm-11.0 for my build for maserati, but my backend-code is completely out-of-date (will not work with the current updater) and most importantly, it only supports one device (maserati).

Hmm, it will probably work, but it's not only the boost-driver which needs to be back-ported but a few assorted changes all over the tree, which could introduce instability. And I don't feel like introducing instability in cm-11.0 with M13 around the corner (hopefully soon).

About M13: Yes, there will be another CM-11.0 snapshot and the Omap4-devices will be included. It was supposed to go out this week but was held up for a bit. No new ETA yet, but it will probably be released in the next few weeks. I'll fire up a new build for the devices in the mean time.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
Hmmm. Thank you Michael. I didn't realize (But makes sense now.) about server side support for the OTA updates. No so simple as "URL to download site, here ya go" sort of thing. Well, nobody wants you to work on something that cannot work, is outdated, and is probably only for a few, sporadic rom releases. But they sure are mighty fine sporadic releases, I can swear to that my friend! Thank you. :D

For real M13? Wow. Did you know that all buildings in New York City do not have a "13th" floor? (When I was 19 I worked as an Elevator Mechanic's Helper in NYC.) Yeah, the architects and builders feel that number 13 is so unlucky that they go from floor 12 to 14. Building managers cannot rent out "the 13th floor" to any paying tenants because of the superstition. They will NOT live or work on any 13th floor. That really did surprise me but only an Elevator Mechanic would know something like this. Okay, M13 it is!

Uh, we do not have any changelogs for the last several UNOFFICIAL releases. I know, I know, you are a developer, not a darned man page writer. Everybody knows I do not mind writing and do enjoy it. But will the M13 be as good as your latest releases or is it still based on the old M12 code, just cleaned up a bit? I for one would be ever-so-happy to hear *anything* at all at what has gone into the last roms. Cleaned up code? Bug fixes? Features or polish? I can actually write so if you want me to type up a changelog, you can audio record the changes in any audio recorder you wish and make the mp3 file available. Then I would be happy to type up the changelog if that would be helpful, Michael. I am serious and you have my email address, so drop it on me, fellow! :highfive:

If not, then maybe a few words on what is changed or fixed in recent builds or the snapshot? Thank you Michael. You really are a good dude. In every way that I can think of. Take care my friend and thank you for addressing us directly. Sonia says "meow hey what's up" to Bunny. ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], you can find the CM11 changes here.

http://www.cmxlog.com/11/#
[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
Oh I get it. They do not show specific changes to Razr phones but if I click "Show All", I can see what went into the cm11 build tree as a whole. I am really surprised that CM does not show anything for "Select your device from a list" but does show changes overall. That will work. And is better than nothing. Thanks Bob! :highfive:

...Bob it is fellow. I do not usually get personal on a first name basis with board members unless we have a common outside interest and exchange PMs or emails. You and I haven't had the need to exchange any PMs or email, we just click. So "Bob" works out fine! :)
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Good news everyone,

the final official CM-11.0 build XNG3C (the build formerly known as M13) has been released for all four devices: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/ maserati spyder targa umts_spyder

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
so does that mean support is stopping, or it's a super-stable build and no longer a beta or release candidate?

is that a good thing? i'm asking because I'm unsure. I haven't tried CM11.0, CM12 has been a stable DD for a month now in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Release_Versioning

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-0-m6-release

With CM11 the number of build tags reduced to just two: Nightly and M Snapshots.

Development channel: (a.k.a. Nightlies) usually generated every 24 hours, experimental, newest features, unstable

Release channel: (a.k.a. M Snapshots) generated once a month, suitable for daily use, lags behind nightlies by roughly 2 weeks

There are no longer any release candidate builds.

Final means no more official builds.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
So far m13 it's working great to me
[Motorola Droid 4] Shadowz619:
Sort of works

Hey,

I installed the rom without a hitch but which gapps did you use? I tried to flash for CM11 (20140606) from the Cm site and it failed. Where did you get your gapps from?

Thanks =)
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
I'm using cm11 default ones...
[Motorola Droid 4] Shadowz619:

I figured it out.

Thanks =)
[Motorola Droid 4] Jishkah:
For reference, if you're going to be flashing the "official" CyanogenMod 11 GApps/Google Apps package from the CyanogenMod Wiki (or, really, any GApps package not linked to in this thread), make sure that you install the SafeStrap/TWRP Recovery software linked to in the CyanogenMod 12 thread, as a prerequisite. The older versions of SafeStrap have a hard time flashing anything but what's linked to in this thread (something about how the package is signed?), so you may not be able to flash the GApps package over without errors.

For me, personally, using the older version of SafeStrap, it always flashed over, regardless of errors... but your mileage may vary. If not for the peace of mind, upgrade SafeStrap to the latest version, anyway.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shadowz619:
Loving m13

I flashed the gapps mini from the op's basket link. Even though I got a 'fail' message, I rebooted the phone and everything was normal. I will post any 'mileage' issues when they arise. My current safestrap version is 3.75 so I am okay for now.

Thanks everyone who helped make this rom possible. It is 'kit's ass. ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] Shadowz619:
Speech to text

Does anyone have Speech to Text working on this rom?

I just noticed that it doesn't show up on my on screen keyboard. I flashed the minimal gapps from:

Everything else with the rom is fine.

Suggestions? Thanks.

battery drain because google app

Hi Folks!

I have battery drain because the phone is in WAKE status when upgrading to new google / google play system app.

If I revert to original systemapps, then the wakelock disappearing, and the drain stopping (after reboot).

Anyone noticed this?

I have the "final cm11.0" flashed.

In the system stats there is "google" that drains the battery.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] ace_jon:
Thanks for the update. I seem to have the data limitation gone - I can see my data usage but unlike previous versions I can no longer set a warning and limit on my mobile data. Nor can I change the usage cycle. Any tips what to do?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
The latest snapshot is working very well and the ROM :)

But I was wondering if there will be a new nightly/snapshot to fix the Stagefright vulnerability?

I disabled "Auto-retreive" for MMS, but the MMS app still shows a toast that downloading failed when I open it. In this case, the error is caused by an old MMS that failed to download ages ago. But I am afraid that the MMS app would download new MMS automatically when executed/started while mobile data is on.
[Motorola Droid 4] wsemi:
According to https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/7iuX21Tz7n8 Stagefright issues will be patched this weekend.

"CM11 will see these updates hit as part of out of band fixes this weekend (these releases occur weekly)."

I hope somebody will make a build for D4 too :)
[Motorola Droid 4] drnessie:
Hi, I'm thinking about putting this ROM on a Droid 4 (it seems like the best qwerty on the market). Can anyone test for me if the "Adafruit Bluefruit Connect" app installs on this ROM? Or failing that, the "NRF UART 2.0" app? I would super appreciate it. Thanks.
