Oops, hadn't tried attaching images before :rolleyes:

Obviously, you can see the navbar at the bottom of my screenshot.

Nav Bar Rocks!

People who do not like reading my stuff, please click my name and then "Add to Ignore List". It will not hurt my feelings at all. :good:

Yeah, that is the setting I just turned on and rebooted. Let's see "what it does". OH! You are talking about those "Touch Wiz" icons on the bottom of the screen. I thought that was Samsung junk and was replaced by AOKP stuff. That is a big deal? Well, maybe it is. I can see how it would come in handy. Let me try it out for a while and up a screen shot so others can see this. They are now white, I want to change the colors and see what it does.

Oh, the "Glow" works but I guess you cannot change the colors on Razr phones. I wonder why because they are drawn on the screen itself. Oh I see what keys, the "extra keys" like menu and arrows can change colors! Ooooooh, I like! This is neat, thank you! Xposed Modules are better than the smell of Napalm in the morning! :laugh:

Nice Color Chart for picking colors by name and by hex # here

brkahughes, you are one of the "dreaded nine" people who don't like my long posts. See? I kept it short for you and on target. You taught me something I can dig, too!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
No dread, Ohmster,I was just sharing the chuckle over an unexpectedly short "Ohmster" post. I tend to find your expositions interesting and would miss them.

The navbar is actually a feature baked in on all android phones which lack the physical buttons, including the RAZR M and similar Motorola models. Personally, I think I'm starting to like it, as one of my phone uses is reading ebooks at night in a darkened room, and I have trouble finding the right hardware button sometimes. I'm using Alreader, which has a fullscreen mode that supports a swipe to reveal both status and navbar!

Curiously, now that I've enabled the navbar from gravity box, I see options to customize it in the cm settings menu...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Could someone shed some light on how the battery status is calculated. I ended up jumping back to the stock ROM for a day or so to compare battery burn between the stock ROM and CM 11. I'm still on the 03/01 ROM - it's stable and working for me so I haven't had the need to jump forward.

On the stock ROM I'll see 50% battery remaining which, when considering the 10% increments on the stock ROM could be anything between 59-50% and if I immediately jump over to CM 11, my battery status shows something like 38%. It got me wondering if the bad battery performance some of us are killing ourselves over trying to figure out could be a bad calibration standard or something.

Why such a big difference between what the stock ROM reports and what CM 11 reports?

BTW: I'm running CM 11 on a Maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I'm not sure exactly why, but when I'm doing the "ROM dance" (for some reason I just flashed on Earl Sinclair doing the "mating dance") I've seen different values in my old ROM, Safestrap and my new ROM. I've developed the habit when changing to a whole new ROM, I fully charge my phone and use "battery calibrate", usually I charge it first and leave it plugged in until I'm in the new ROM just to give it the best start.

There is a new cm11 snapshot release. So far it seams to be running well for me, haven't noticed any issues yet.:good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I went into 'about phone' in settings, went into updates, downloaded the latest snapshot dated 4-5-14 in updates and installed it from there with safestrap. Let it boot up and settle in for 10 minutes or so before rebooting. I have not cleared the cache (yet) and it appears to be running fine. I have going back and forth between using cm11 as my daily driver without any major problems other than the occasional WiFi issue (prior to this snapshot). I play with the PAC Man 4.4 ROM for fun because of all the features and it runs OK, but cm11 is faster, more stable, uses less memory and runs great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Super_Luddite:
Check back with us sometime tomorrow :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wow, *very* significant information. Thank you very much for reporting. Do keep us updated on this build as to whether it remains stable or degrades into problems as days and reboots go by. An "dirty update" on a snapshot almost always ends in failure. You seem to have an unusual, very good story. Could be the rom is getting closer to final. Thanks! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I always do a backup before loading the update so I'm not too worried about a dirty flash.

The only issue I have had is with MMS message, but I was having that problem with all of the cm11 snapshots and nightly builds, it lists it as an APN problem. But MMS is working fine on the PAC man 4.4 ROM, but the APN settings on PAC man are greyed out so I can't see what they are.

On cm11 everything else I have checked out seems to be working, the camera flash works and it saves pics to the SD card, Wi-Fi is fine, data is not dropping, etc.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I have also noticed a difference on the battery. When I am running PAC man ROM 4.4, I've noticed that cm11 shows about 20% less battery remaining.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icarome:
I really appreciate the help but I use the GSM version (XT910). Though I also tried the newest version (nightly 04-05) on a really complete clean install (I formated all data and reflash the stock ROM) with JBX and now I got everything working better than ever. No heating, no battery drops, no signal lost, no crazy reboots... I think weeks and more weeks of dirty flashes are not health to the phone, which was what I was doing, installing all nightly that came out...

Any way, thanks for the support and help :)

About NavBar stuff

I use NavBar for a couple of months now on CM11, but I "hack" the buld.prop to do it, works like if my phone was meant to have it. And also have "hacked" the cy8c201xx.kl to disable the capacitive buttons and the CM has an options to turn the hardware keys' light off.. After that CM shows up settings and customizations to NavBar, and don't know how many customizations can gravitybox offer but I think what CM has is enough.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
M5 available.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Super cool menu, extra, and cursor keys are now gone in Gravity Box. They were there when I first tried it after being told about it by brkahughes. I rebooted, nope. Rebooted to wipe cache and dalvik, nope. The Navigation Bar with white lights is there, but the nice purple cursor and menu keys shown in the screenshot are "no more". I am still on build 03/30. Does anyone else have this problem or see it by enabling the Navigation Bar in Gravity Box, seeing the soft keys appear, the "glow" works, but the cursor on keyboard just "went away" and won't come back, anyone else know how to fix this?

This is a BIG disappointment, I was in hog heaven with those cursor keys. Too hard to use your finger to go back and insert a comma or something and get it in the exact spot with a large finger on the screen. Those cursor arrows would let you step forward and backward to get right to where you want to be.

Anyone? brkahughes, what build date are you using? Maybe mine is not stable enough for it. :(

UPDATE:

I found what icarome was talking about in Settings, Interface, Navigation Bar, Buttons and layout. After releasing the lock, I could then bring up other items like the constant 3 dot menu. Once done and re-locking, my cursor arrows on keyboard are back, yah! :laugh:

I hate bugging people to help me if I don't have to. After finding it for now, duty bound to report problem apparently solved.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
How do you turn on the Nav Bar without gravity box? I like the Nav Bar but those extra cursor arrow keys on the keyboard are icing on the cake! The worked fine, anytime the keyboard came up, but that was like 7 hours ago. Now no more cursor arrows or menu button in the nav bar, only the main three buttons, although the gravity box glow still works and gravity box can turn the bar on and off again. How did you do it, icarome and do you have cursor and menu keys (I chose purple) on your keyboard like mine did? See screenshots.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Where are you seeing these customize buttons in the settings menu? I still have the nav bar but the menu key, extra key, and keyboard cursor arrows are gone now and I cannot get them back. I did nothing to the phone, went to bed, got up to marvel at them again, and only the nav bar remains, with glow, but now more menu and cursor keys. :(

Every see this? Where are those settings? I use Apex Launcher, are they in your launcher settings or general setttings? Where, exactly please?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icarome:
I added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 this line at the end of the build.prop, this will enable the navbox but won't disable the hardware keys, so I also edited the /system/usr/keylayout/cy8c201xx.kl file and add a"#" before all the four lines of the file. The last thing that remain was the backlight of the hardware keys that I turned off by the settings on Buttons>Backlight>Turned Off.

The only bad thing here is on every update of CM that you install all this work must be done again. About the arrows, unfortunately there's no options of these arrows on the CM settings, so I guess they don't support it...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Super_Luddite:
I'm giving it a shot today, but started fresh and clean. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for this :cyclops:

GPS

Is anybody having a very wrong GPS position?

I'm on Snapshot M5 and GPS shows a position completely wrong, is anybody have the same problem? What could it be?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
In location settings, did you switch it to 'high accuracy' to turn on GPS? You can also go to the play store and download an app like 'GPS status' or one of the other GPS apps to improve the accuracy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Noe!:
Good morning guys. Is it necessary to wipe the "/system" partion when doing a clean install?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
The ROM install automatically wipes the partition for you. Furthermore, if you're installing on the stock partition with safestrap, NEVER NEVER wipe the /system partition! I've done that and had it become unwritable and had to use Matt's utility to recover my phone.

If you're using a virtual slot, the best method for a fresh start is to delete the slot and recreate it, fewer problems that way.

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
I run on the stock slot. When I dirty flash it does wipe the system, but I dont need to flash Gapps again to make it work. If I want to do a "clean" install (not totally starting over though with RSD), I wipe system, cache, davlik, and android secure - all on stock slot. I never had a problem. When I do this, I have to flash the Gapps zip again after I flash the new version of CM11. However, if I dirty flash, I don't need the Gapps zip. I don't know what makes the difference. But I wipe system on stock slot all the time with no problems. 912 with ss 3.65.

EDIT: I like using this method for a "clean" install because I never lose data and it seems to fix other problems with the ROM that I experience when I "dirty" flash.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Noe!:
Yeah, I run the custom roms on slot one. Stock rom is on the stock slot just in case something goes bad. I always do the "Factory Reset" option in Safestrap when wiping and was just wondering because I see on these forums saying they wiped the system partition when wiping. But thanks for the heads up. :good::laugh:

How to install this ROM on stock slot??

[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I run custom on stock slot too, but since my last problem I only do "factory reset" then install the new ROM. When I had trouble, the system partition on stock slot showed normal size, but no space free on ss3.65! Nothing I did helped until I reflashed the OEM image on the phone.

I've wiped virtual slots, then still had weird bugs that wouldn't go away until I deleted and recreated the slot, go figure. I've seen that mentioned in hashcode's thread on ss too.

Tried GPS fix and notice it's a problem with the satellites... Most part of the time there's only two on...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
There are Backup/Restore scripts in the /system/addon.d folder which run when you flash a new ROM. With a dirty flash your Gapps has a script in there to protect the Apps.

With a clean wipe of /system those scripts are deleted so you need to reflash the Gapps.

Nothing but amazing this ROM. I worry about upgrading in July

Working well

I flashed 2014-04-06 nightly today as my first attempt with this ROM. Everything went smoothly and it works remarkably well. I created a new slot 2 and did all recommended wipes, and installed there following the instructions in the first post. Data, MMS, SMS, GPS all seem to be working without needing to mess with anything. Just fyi, I am on Page Plus cellular and I have had lots of data and/or MMS issues with other ROMs. I went running today using Runkeeper and Apollo and it tracked me fine and music played the whole time. I connected my Bluetooth mini-speaker and it sounds great. The only problem I had was with BitTorrent Sync client. It really dogs the phone and crashes often. Coming from a 4.1.2 rom I used BTsync a lot without issues. Anyway, great job and thank you!

Is it possible to restore a backup of the stock slot on Slot 1? Reason is I've been running a nightly on stock slot. But I want to make the stock slot run the snapshot and slot 1 to run nightlies
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Super_Luddite:
It was pretty stable for me, but I had no MMS with stock messenger or 3rd party. I'm wondering if people had more luck than me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] josuearisty:
I dont use mms :)

This build itself is fine until now, the phone reboot itself some minutes ago when I unlocked but nothing else.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Restoring a backed up stock slot to any virtual slot seems to work fine, but be warned: I've read on the safestrap thread that going the other way will mess your phone up and require you to reflash a factory image, reroot etc.

M5 Report

I like to report on new builds to help others who want to know how it goes before trying a new rom. CrackerJack just did the M5 which is fairly new and snapshots are said to be "somewhat stable, official builds". He did his OTA, which really surprised me. Previous M snapshots required a clean install, could not flash over, OTA, or "dirty flash" the M builds. I just did mine from 03/30 and it surprised the heck out of me. I did the download, tapped the "door and arrow" icon to install, and the phone rebooted to install.

This is when it seemed to get a bit "hairy". Instead of booting directly into recovery like OTA always does, you see the cleanup and install scripts run, and the phone reboots to system. What I got was a reboot to the Safe Strap standard boot screen, recovery or system. I took no action and let it be, hoping to see the recovery screen. Never happened. The phone booted right to the cm animation, but, then started "updating apps" one by one, like what always happens when you flash or wipe dalvik, and it booted right to system. This was "too fast". How could it be? My Xposed modules were out so *something* took place. I checked the About Phone screen. Yeah. SNAPSHOT-M5-spyder. Smooth as silk.

So, I reinstalled my Xposed Framework to restore my modules, rebooted, and all is "liquid smooth", all in just a few minutes. Just wanted to pass this on because it freaked me out a bit, I really thought the update failed. :victory:

This build is already a couple of days old, but I like to get a good build and use it for a while, only GOOD ones. Tomorrow may be some improvements, I saw camera and bug fixes in the changelog. I like this so far and have an HDMI cable on order to test it out. Will report when I get it from Amazon.

Everything seems to work and the phone is like greased lightning. If any problems develop, I will for sure tell you guys. But so far, it is all good! :laugh:

Hey, guys.

I thought I've downloaded it yesterday, but obivously it was just a partial file..

I have lost my voice to text function on my messaging. And there is no way to turn it on. Is that part of gapps or the ROM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
Server appears to back up, no 4/8 however
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Agreed. I do not have signal issues but other minor ones, I posted about it in Jakes Thread, you can see my phone is hanging on tasks like voice typing, it just seems "over taxed" on the M5 build. The update process was practically nothing, I believe the nightlies are more advanced then the snapshot builds. I was hoping the snapshot would be an improvement, but I think it is just a build that they freeze at a particular point to take official bug reports on. I am going to revert to a 03/30 backup and maybe try one of the April builds that are reported to be good.

The update was smooth, even OTA, but I don't think the M5 build is all that and a bag of chips.

Thanks for the report, chinkster! :good:

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Settings/Language & Input/Google voice typing. You can enable it and have some settings for it. That turns it on. If it does not work after that, I would restore a backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Just ran into a workaround for the lte issue. I loaded the 4/7 nightly on my old razr which my son now has and got lte during setup but once wifi was turned on and off, only 3g was available. Checking the apn setting showed it on 3g and selecting lte would just revert back quickly to the 3g apn. Couldn't get it to lock onto lte.

Today, I accidentally found something that worked. While connected to wifi, I selected the lte apn, got distracted, and didn't check it for 5min. When I did, lte was still selected and when I toggled off wifi, lte came up immediately. Might just be masking the connection delay, but it seems to work consistently for me.

Gapps? which ones please

I have been away from this thread for a while and was wondering if there are specific Gapps to use for all round? Also my usual bugbear of whether the bluetooth works in the car and remembers pairings? thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Gosh, I have not heard of this issue in well over a month. For US XT912 users at least, Many foreign carriers and 910 phones still have issues. I cannot tell by your profile where you live. Are you in the US? XT912 or XT910 phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Yep, xt912 in Michigan
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
The pa-gapps are preferred by all. You download the package that suits you best. The mini-modular are very popular and what I use. Just enough Google apps to give most users whatever they want and need. There are micro all the way to Full Monty packages available. The big one is too much, Google Earth and a LOT of stuff you never use, take a lot of space and phone power.

These always work excellent with cm11. As long as you have a clean install to begin with. So if you are starting fresh, delete the slot, recreate it, bump up each space value a notch or two, and flash your cm11 & pa-gapps. Wipe cache and dalvik ONLY, reboot to system. Enjoy! :highfive:

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Oh. It might help to put Michigan in your profile, you do not have to be specific and maybe your phone stats in your signature. Many of us do that and it makes it easier for us to help you. You should not have these problems if you have a nice, clean install, have a good carrier, and have good signal in your area. I am on Verizon in South Florida, the area is saturated with 4G. Never had these issues for almost 2 months, had to manually pick network in Settings, More, Wireless and Networks, Mobile network settings, Preferred network type. Choose "CDMA + LTE/EvDo" and your should have a good, 4G signal. But really, we have not had this problem for well over a month.

Do you have a crappy carrier, signal coverage, or anything like that? If not, something might be corrupt in your system. Really hard to figure out what. Use Safe Strap to revert to a known good, clean backup or delete slot, recreate, flash cm11 and pa-gapps fresh, wipe cache and dallik ONLY, reboot to clean system, do the setup, including Google and CyanogenMod accounts.

That is my best advice. Perhaps others have better ideas. Good luck buddy! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Thanks man, I appreciate the response. I moved on to the LG G2 last November so that's what's in my signature. I haven't picked up the razr since then but my son needed something to work atm, so I'm glad I kept it. He got tired of running stock and wanted to try a cm build so here I am. He's brand new to this but I'm not, so I'm trying to bring him up to speed. I started with a fresh install of ss3.65, fresh Rom slot, freshly wiped and installed Rom, gapps, tether fix and jbx in that order. We live in rock solid 4g area as well. I saw various mentions of this lte issue recently on the cm Google + page and then randomly in some of the other threads that use their base, but I thought I'd try it anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well you are doing a darned good job. Everything you said was dead on the money. Nightlies introduce new features, fix older bugs, and create new ones to troubleshoot in the next build. Thus, some nightlies are really good and some are a total headache. I learned to use this forum to look for build install reports with enough basic details to be really useful. I do not pick a lot of bad builds anymore, M5 was not that hot so I dumped it with a solid backup, right before I did it. When people announce they installed a new build, look at the details or politely ask for them. If you can teach that skill to your son, he too will become advanced at this, pretty quickly.

You are doing great, good luck! :cowboy:
