Cool App - Paid version free

Hey,

I just found a really cool app that I want to try, Quick Control Panel. This seems to be a replacement or alternative to the quick control pull down, right of status bar that we already have. It seems interesting and is available as a pay or free app. The developer will give the pay app free, in his XDA thread if you visit it. Of course, he is a staving developer doing this for free to XDA visitors who want the full app, and if they find it useful, please donate "something". The app started in 2013 but he has an 04/14 version now. It can be make to look like iOS or change to suit your needs.

Since you can get the full app now and many people here like to experiment, I thought it might be worth mentioning. Hope someone finds it useful. I will update to 04/19 and see if I have better luck. If so, I will try the app and report. It looks pretty handy, whether it is better than built in or can coexist with it, I don't know yet. But for experimenters, it might be something cool to try. :fingers-crossed:

UPDATE:

Hmmm. The app does not replace the quick settings panel. Clicking it does show many options, but I cannot figure out how to use them or where they are. Perhaps the app is dead. Link to themes and other links to gdrive downloads are dead. Shame. It does appear promising but if it does nothing, then it merely takes up space and resources. On 04/19 now.

I'm on clean install of April 4/16 nightly. If you could clean install this, and get a syslog after/if you get the "No APN specified on device" that'd be awesome. I don't mind being the guinea pig for anything I can help with but it would definitely help if someone else could be doing it as well so I don't end up reporting something that is isolated to my device. Like your black screen issue seems to be an isolated instance. I imagine clean install and wipes will clear that up. The No APN specified on device I know has been around since the early nightlies of April so if we can get the syslog for that, that would help Michael a lot and there aren't many other issues, if any, for XT912.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
If I have a few minutes tomorrow I will set it up on slot one and run it for a a week or so., I have a dirty 4/16/jbx on slot 2 currently. ANd I have seen the No APN issue once already.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I have never had a NO APN error. I just did an OTA from a perfectly working 03/30 build to 04/19. Update went well, gps locks right in, themes do not seem to work, and now the entire screen locked up. Touching anything does nothing, cannot swipe between desktops, screen off and back on does not restore screen touch, rebooting.

Soft Reboot yields touch screen activity. Xposed modules working. Not able to select CDMA+LTE/EvDo from Mobil Networks, that entry under ...More is gone now. But I do have LTE and 3G, orange icon at start, changed to LTE, then 3G, back to LTE again. Strange. I am going to let the phone go black, call myself, and see what happens. I did install the syslog app for Stargo so if I get errors, I will capture and upload the logs. Thanks for the advice.

UPDATE:

Wow, screen goes dark, I call myself, it takes a moment to light up, and works fine! Put near face, goes dark, take it away, lights up, use speaker, goes dark, touch screen, lights up! Hmmm, I will run with this for a few days and when I find something to complain about, you all will be the first to know. ;)

Running 4/15 nighlty with stock kernel and stock SMS app. Noticed that most (but not all) of my lockscreen SMS quick replies don't get sent or make it into my conversations. Was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue with texts sent using the lockscreen quick reply feature.

BTW: although we still don't have a vehicle dock screen, it's good to see the car doc mode reappear with the 4/15 and forward nightly. :good:

04/19 Build Install Report

Just installed update 04/19 OTA over 03/30. Update went very smooth. Rebooted twice to reinstall Xposed framework and for good measure, wiped cache, dalvik, and android secure. Phone booted nicely. GPS, WiFi, and signal all working well. At first, 3G only, within several seconds, lock on LTE. Orange signal icons only when first turned on, cleared right up. Video camera working but still twichy, pause release button target area too small to hit on the mark every time. Paused once, released pause, tried it again, either missed the tiny target or cam is glitchy, video stopped immediately and no video was captured. Tried video record again, paused and resumed twice, video very good. Just such a tiny target area to touch to release pause it is over the border of ridiculous.

Battery consumption 78% in 3 hours, but was not fully charged to begin with. Screenshots attached.

Preliminary Report 04/19 is Very Good. :good:

That is preliminary and could all go down the toilet over the next day or two. Will keep you all updated. :confused:

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

coreywallen, since these April nightlies are so bug ridden, if I am going to try again, I want the latest version available. Currently 04/19. Who knows, your APN issue could be gone by then. I did update to 04/19, got immediate signal lock, everything seems to work, phone is smooth and no issues yet. But time will tell. I did an install report on it and have no complaints. Will revisit this build and report in a day or two so everyone will know how it is working for me.

1904 build+1604 JBX so far so good, been using this combo for half a day now and everything look good.

bug when try to remove pin lock of sim

in the latest nightly of Cyanogenmod 19/04 there is a bug when try to remove pin lock of sim, let me explain:

when I turn on RAZR XT910 with a pin sim lock already inserted and I try to remove the blocking going on 'Settings' > 'Security' > 'SIM lock settings' and 'SIM lock' checkbox is unticked.. try to click them and appear a dialog box who asks me to set a new pin lock when it is already active.. insert a random number click to 'OK' and appear a popup telling me that it cannot set the new pin..

However, if I insert the sim card with the pin already disabled and I go on sim lock settings makes me enter a new pin without give me error and it does remove so long as they don't make pin removal after rebooting.

This bug is not present in the current versions of SlimKat and ParanoidAndroid for RAZR XT910

The problem seems to be that when you turn on your device and prompts you to enter the pin code should store status of sim lock in security settings, which seems not to do..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icarome:
Just noticed now, but when I put a movie on the big screen (HDMI) there's no subtitle... On the phone screen the subs is there but not on TV... Is that normal? Is there a way around? How?

Gravity Box Nav Bar Cursor Keys

I OTA updated from 03/30 to 04/19 and this build is not so bad. Was previously on 06/16 and the phone was pretty bad, had too many problems. But, I was able to enable nav bar, cursor keys, glow color, and all that,

and it did work

. Now, with the same settings, I cannot get the cursor keys anymore. I cannot get the Gravity Box navigation bar cursor keys to work anymore, even on 04/16. The nav bar shows, the dark blue glow I assigned is there, the fuchsia menu dots are there, but the cursor keys are gone. That sucks, I really liked that feature, I can restore the old 04/16 to compare all settings, but as far as I can see, they are correct.

Is anyone else using Gravity Box to restore nav bar and have cursor keys working? (Arrows to move cursor while keyboard is showing in any app.) You have any problems with it or know any special way to make it work? Any help would be appreciated, Happy Easter to all.

UPDATE:

I got my cursor keys back again by going to Xposed Framework, Modules, and Gravity Box. I unchecked nav bar and closed it, rebooted for this to take effect, opened Gravity Box again, turned back on the nav bar, and rebooted. I checked for answers on the web to edit /system/build.prop file to force the keys to work, when the cm11 file manager (Excellent root access to mount R/W files instead of read only.) and when the screen keyboard came up, there were my cursor keys! See screenshot.

Over all this build is pretty good. Been using it almost 24 hours and so far, I have no major complaints. I will run it another day or two but no signal errors other than orange icons at startup until Google connects, it occasionally drops out but never for long. I think Michael and his team are doing good progress with this April mess. I will let you all know.

04/19 seems all good so far. I want to move on to 04/20 because I think it can only get better. Ahh, the change log for 04/20 is not very impressive:

cm-11-20140420-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

Add dummy strings to prevent aapt warnings (android_packages_apps_Settings)

It probably won't make a difference, but to be fair and give you all a useful report, I retract all the negative stuff about April builds as of 04/19. Happy Easter!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
It's a common issue in Android.

You must enable Developer options and check "Disable HW Overlays" to get subtitle on HDMI.

But in Moto stock rom ( from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 ), I never had this issue even developer options were disabled.

HDMI on Razr Phones

Do you or anyone else know of how to boost the HD Quality of the HDMI output from an XT912 phone? It seems to be missing "Anti-aliasing" in a bad way. Curved or angled slopes appear as "stair steps" pretty badly. I know when I play 3D, Good video games on the PC, I turn on Anti-aliasing and depending on the power of my graphics card and to some extent, my CPU power and Ram amount and speed, I can apply it 1X, 2X, 4X, and sometimes higher. Even a little makes the picture a whole lot nicer but reduces the frame rate, quite a bit if one over does it. We compensate for it in video games by turning down the screen resolution. Most any PC with a dedicated video card, PCIe or even AGP can play well at 1024x768 but once you get up to 1920x1080 and beyond, you either need to spend close to $700 on a video card or drop the resolution way down.

These phones are extremely limited in CPU, GPU, and memory resources. Here are some specs for the phones:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4G/LTE DROID MAXX by MOTOROLA

Memory / Processor / GPU

Processor: Motorola X8 MobileComputing System (1.7 GHz dual–core application processor 400 MHzquad–core GPU, natural languageprocessor, contextual computingprocessor), Power/AudioManagement: PM8921

4FF preinstalled SIM

Memory: 32GB interal memory(formatted capacity less)

Battery

Battery: Non–removable 3500 mAhLi–Ion

Usage: Up to 48 hours

OR

Standby Time: Up to 25 days

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My idea was to use the phone for a portable "Quick HD Media Player" I can take to someone's home, plug into their big, HDTV flat screen TV and enjoy it. But with the Anti-aliasing so bad, it is not practical. Prety cool to see and work your phone on my larger 27" Monitor, but watching HDTV over HDMI really does not fulfill my expectations.

Anyone can help with these questions for myself and the benefit of other board members here?

Thoughts, any?

How do you use it?

How does it work for you?

Do you find it practical?

CAn you think of any practical uses for an HDMI cable for an XT91x phone?

Thank you.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, 04/16 and up are now good roms. Currently on 04/20. No real problems to speak of, battery hog is gone. I saw your screenshot Jake and had to hunt down that app, Battery Doctor, and install it. Wow, you folks that need help with battery saving, check this app out. I have good battery ratings and tap the circle to diagnose what is draining and things you can tap to fix are right there, all in one app! It is now showing running apps, draining batter and will allow you to stop them. Amazon is running and pegged as a "Heavy Battery Drainer". I have no need for Amazon right now or not very often. This is amazing, off it goes! If you give it root access, it will keep all these things running from not running all the time, pick what you want running, if say you need Tappatalk all the time, it will be left alone.

Great tip, Jake, all from one screenshot! Thanks buddy. :laugh:

P.S. The Widget is awesome, put that bad boy on a desktop, you will be glad you did! :good:

I gotta say that with the 4/16 Nightly, and I'm sure with the more recent nightlies as well, the Google connection problem seems to have diminished quite a bit. Not sure if these are CM changes that have made it keep a connection or on Google's side of things...either way...I like it.

Reading back about 10 pages i haven't seen this issue or maybe it ties in with the APN issue.

Are you receiving any toast messages that say "No APN specified on device"? I have issues with group messaging and picture messaging (MMS) after several days as well, but I get the No APN message, although on 4/16 right now I have not seen the issue in several days. If you are getting that message, or not, capture a Syslog, and post it here and maybe stargo can take a look.

I installed this file a couple hours after you posted it. I also wiped the two files to said to wipe a couple of posts earlier. LTE came up in less than 30 seconds, like it used too. I've been on 4/18 with this APN file for 3 days now and have not gotten the "No APN" error yet. I have had issues in the past and only a cache and dalvik wipe would fix it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
No matter what nightly I try, I always seem to fall back to 03.01. That's without a doubt the smoothest and most reliable for me all the while giving me decent battery life. I want to be in the 4/16-4/20's for HDMI and because of reports of fewer orange bars but I just end up with too many problems like gmail won't SEND (mail gets stuck at sending - even with white LTE bars) and signal issues - even after trying the APN sugestions from a few pages ago. I'm always flashing new ROMs right from the About menu.

Okay. here's my dumb questions for the day:

I have a good TWRP backup of 03.01 that i can routinely go back to. Could I delete and re-create the ROM slot, do a clean install of say 4/20, and just restore my data partition? will that reinstall my data and user settings?

What about the andoid secure partition?

What's the best way to do a clean install and restore all user apps and settings from a TWRP backup quickly?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No. You cannot wipe and install clean, then restore partitions like that. You will wreck the build and it won't boot or work right. The only/best way to restore your stuff after a clean install is to use Titanium Backup Pro at the play store. Then purchase the PRO Key ★ root while at play store. It is only a few dollars and we ALL use it forever to backup and restore our apps. First link shows you the comparison, 2nd link is the app, 3rd link is the Pro Key.

Titanium Backup Pro with Root Key cost me $6.58, Order date: January 31, 2012. This is one app well worth the money, spend it, we all have it here and use it all the time. Yes I have had it that long and as long as I keep my Android ID, I can download it free anytime. I also still have the receipt.

The first link has QR codes so if you have installed barcode scanner, point it at your pc and it will take you right to the play store to get the app and the pro root key.

You install Titanium Backup and Root Key, make a backup of all of your apps and data. With Pro, you can also send the backups to Dropbox or Gdrive. Put them on SD ExtCard. Install your new cm11, then download Titanium Backup from play store if Google does not do it for you. Restore your root key. Using the menu, batch restore all of your apps,

without data

! Only restore data for the few apps where you really need it as this can cause FCs on your new install. You can save these backups on SD Card, cloud drive, flash drive, right to your PC, CD, or anything you want to keep them safe. It does not get any better than this.

This is in everyone's tool kit here and we all use it. It is only a few bucks and it is the best couple of dollars you ever spent. When Titanium Backup first runs and gets root permission, it will offer to restore your previous Android ID. Allow it so that you can download anything you paid for w/out having to pay again.

As far as setting up system accounts, you have to do that by hand, not that many of them, just get it done. If you have a premium launcher like Apex or Nova, these offer to save your desktop and restore them again. And that is what you need/want to know, in a nutshell.

Do NOT install any old stuff from Safe Strap to your new install! Only restore with Titanium Backup and your launcher settings if you have them. Save your Titanium backups to a cloud drive, must be done manually, when you get the backup made. It will schedule all future backups for you. Pick a reasonable history of backups like 3 so you do not eat all of your SD Card space. Good luck. It is not as bad as it seems if you get Titanium Backup.

Go man, this is what you want. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

In my case, I'm using HDMI to play re-encoded 720P video due to huge size (>4GB) of original MKV.

Re-encoding to H.264+AAC and 1 hour will reduce to about 1GB size which can be put into my FAT32 SD Card.

Codec is same with my every video and quality is good.

BTW, there are some changes about video performance in next nightly, perhaps give it a try.

And my usage of HDMI output, yes I'm using it as a portable HD player.

It can output 1080P to my 42" LCD TV without additional power (MHL need another power source), also without network (DLNA).

Just a HDMI cable to carry with you and a empty HDMI port on TV.

3200 mAH battery can give you more than 3 hours video playback without charge needed.

Oh, you can play YouTube 720P in XT910 by using modified YouTube apk!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Thanks Ohmster. I do have Titanium Pro and I use it to backup weekly. I always found the (what seems like) 100 restore options a little intimidating. Your tip about installing user apps without data when possible helps.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

Because official YouTube app restrict HD playback on non-HD android like XT910/XT912.

So even you can HDMI output as 1080P YouTube still get 480P, that's very very bad.

By now I'm using this modified version of YouTube.

It's light, fast, and can output 720P/1080P, that's what I want.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] leperkuan:
Last night my phone started getting warm in my pocket and i didnt think a whole lot about it. anyways i plugged it in when i went to bed and this morning it was very hot, i turned it off asap and was going to boot to oem firmware but the phone wont come on anymore. It may be nightly4/20 related so beware. then again my phone is 1-1/2 years old.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Thanks, but this is with the "old" apns-conf.xml

As the new one has changes exactly regarding the APN the device selected, it would be good to get a log with then new config. It's included in CM nightlies starting today (2014-04-22). But you have to manually refresh the telephony database (for example by deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db*).

Regards,

[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
I was still having some issues with 0407 - namely, the sound bug (phone would not ring, self reboot after a while), occasional phone app crash and wifi sometimes stuck in "starting". I got a few logs but being an older release by now, I figured it would not make too much sense to submit them for fixing and instead jumped boat all the way to 0419.

I was worried because despite the annoying issues, battery autonomy was pretty good on 0407. So far, it seems 0419 is not that bad itself, huh?:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Anyone try out the new Hangouts app yet? New Hangouts APK

So Far so good for me. Love the improvements.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No, stock cm11 cannot overclock. You need to install a custom kernel to do something like that. JBX is one such custom kernel that permits it. Are there others? I guess, if somebody makes one and releases it, tests it, and it works, then there are others. cm11 is still a nightly build, meaning it changes constantly. So the custom kernel would have to be installed each time AND it would have to keep up with the development pace of cm11. That is not a small job, not even JBX can keep up with it. The JBX developer would get the changes and incorporate them into the kernel. So, JBX is not always compatible with cm11, sometimes it lags.

Unless you really want to spend a lot of time troubleshooting, you would be smart to skip custom kernels for now. I really like JBX but don't use it now. Too many changes upcoming in cm11.
