Just double checked the XT912 - check your settings - storage - usb computer connection is set for Mass Storage - works for me with check there in the latest nightly
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
Works for me.

Once, I had a similar problem. It was the permission dialog that took a long time before appearing on the phone asking for my consent to link computer and phone.

Weird behavior on 0318 today.

Turned on GPS to check in with Foursquare. Slept the phone and put it on pocket. 5 mins later, took the phone and it was in safe mode with torch on (WTF).

Restarted phone, everything works except it's like a Dalvik wipe occurred (wasn't me): Apex widgets are gone, some apps lost passwords, or settings.

Will update to newer build today.

XDA: @JakeDHS07 is "Admin Release Candidate"

Good afternoon, Jake.

You know, this "fix permissions" is so vague that I went to the horse's mouth for an answer, hash of codes. The answer was vague again. Here is the description per Hash-of-Codes:

Fix Permissions: This can fix up ROMs which are displaying odd force close issues, etc. You will probably never need to do this.

...really? "You will probably never need to do this". Then what the hell is it really there for? I am just goofing, not really serious dude. A little levity goes a long way sometimes. :p

I get the entire Permissions thing. Read, write, execute for owner, group, and world. The permissions are based numerically and add up to the level of permission you need for each of the three "persons". Files and directories are the same but for execute. For files that means you can "run a file" and let it do something. For directories, it allows you to get a directory listing of the files. W/out execute on a directory (Folder), you cannot list the contents to see what is in there. You would "just have to know" otherwise.

I was really hoping for a little more detail from Hash-of-Codes (The developers of Safe Strap.) to be a little more specific, like what permissions are changed on what directories, what should they be and what would be changed or reverted by this fix. Not because I really

need

this information, just for a "want to know" as a user endpoint.

So, you run it for good measure. It gives us *something* to try in the event a rom starts giving FCs. That works for me, Jake.

Awe man, I just put this last ditch effort to get you noticed when I went back and saw the determination on your req for admin. #3417 Well that really bites. I had to retract it all before it pissed anyone off. Sorry man but I will check your Q&A section. We are all behind you on this. When you get it, it will be a prized rack to mount on your wall. By then, you will probably say "Big deal, I got work to do" and move on with things. <Pat on the back>

Oh, any recent builds that you are aware of that are somewhat trouble free right now? Does not have to incorporate HDMI, I will wait until it is in place and verified stable. I just want something new to run that is not going to kill my signal or cam or something. If you know, off the top of your head. Take care Jake.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Currently running CM 3/17 and JBX 3/15 for days with no issues. Waiting to flash the newest HDMI JBX 3/21 until a successful build of spyder which hopefully comes tomorrow to test HDMI. Its failed two straight days.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
After the weirs episode I told you, I upgraded to 0321. Using JBX 0315, battery consumption is now at 7.3%/hr. But I'm at home, no mobile data in use. Let's see…

Meneldur @ XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Got it works at Mass Storage mode, but MTP doesn't work.

Why MTP can't use adb? And MTP is default mode, right?

I didn't have this problem, and now in 20140321 nightly for HDMI function.

XT910 / CM11 with stock kernel / stock slot / Everything works well
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mr-Glass:
Not sure on that - several of my devices are different - all on CM - never investigated further, If I find an answer I will post it here.. I find myself switching just for ADB and going back to MTP - I believe MTP is default..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I need something recent and am looking at the OTAs on my phone, now on 03/09. I see 03/17, 18, and 19. You are staying away from 18 and 19 so I assume those are the two straight days in a row? I will try 03/17 because this flickery text is driving me nuts. This started by itself several days ago. The only thing changed to the phone in that time was Google updates. Maybe some update is what caused this, it was not in the rom to start with.

If you say it is stable, I will check it out. Maybe the rom is stable and I have a problem with the phone or current build is slightly corrupt now. I will let you know, thanks for the heads up!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Not a problem. That's what I am here for.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
3/22 is up. Happy to report that HDMI out is working with stock kernel. Only getting stereo out but it's been so long since I used stock I can't remember if it did 5.1 or not. Thought I'd never be able to use HDMI out again. Thanks to all the developers for making it work!!!!

Also, camera and video recording seem to be working fine. Will have to wait to see how well data holds.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
It truly is amazing that when jelly bean development first started it was said that HDMI would never be possible because of the proprietary drivers being required. Fast forward and here we have a build with working open source HDMI drivers and a open source alternative to Google's lookup dialer (which is really sweet BTW I suggest you guys check it out) all releasing in today's build. Very exciting stuff indeed and just goes to show that with time dedication and hope anything is possible! :)

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oooohh! That is such good news. I do want a recent rom that works, is stable, and where everything so far, works and is consistent. I want to give this rom a day or two and see how a few others report AND to see if this holds up for rgerrans and anyone else willing to test and report. So many times I installed a rom, did an overall check, said yeah, this is a "goodie", and find out days later that I have to reboot to make a phone call or use gps, stuff like that. Thank goodness we have people like Jake that do this every day and eat it like breakfast cereal. People like rgerrans and Jake really make this a terrific thread to be a part of because they will install a new build, test it, and give a timely report to the rest of us. My phone is important, it is my primary source of communication, more important than the house phone. So I cannot risk romming every day and praying that they are all good. A bad rom can put my phone out of service for an entire day, especially if "It seems minor and I think I can fix it". Because then I will end up wasting the day, trying all sorts of remedies, destined to fail, and finally giving up and reverting to a backup. A day w/out my phone could result in a lost job and that one loss could be my water bill for the month. Yeah, things are *that* tight right now.

You guys take that risk away and man do I appreciate that!

Can you guys please do a followup on this rom in 24-48 hours and report back?

Don't jump through hoops, just a simple "Been 48 hours, tried most everything on the phone. No lockups, reboots, FC,s and everything is working." Is a really big deal for people like me. I spend my time hunting for these type of reports and praise the people who make them. If you find a bad build, report it and as far as I am concerned, it can go to the landfill.

HUGE THANKS to all testers and reporters on these roms! Your contributions are SO valuable to this community! :victory:

If I can ask, what kind of cable or adapter do you guys use for HDMI on phones like this? Are these the kinds of things I will need to try out HDMI on my HDTV monitor/TV?

How does this work? You plug into the micro USB port on the phone and the other end to your TV, and "It just works"?

Or are there are special USB settings to use in a pull down menu like:

Media Device MTP

Camera PTP

Mass Storage UMS

Are there other settings? Any setup or adjustments for it in Settings? Does the screen blank or stay lit?

I know, lot of questions. But a good set of answers here will put all of these issues to bed, once and for all. Newbies or those that want to know will have it all spelled out. Thank you. Thank you very much! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
For our models Ohmster you connect a mini HDMI to HDMI cable to our HDMI port on the top and then to your TV or monitor. We don't have to go through USB. We have a dedicated HDMI port :)

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
How do we check it out? I'm not even really sure what it is?

By the way. I checked HDMI with my Samsung Plasma TV and it works. The only small problem is that the edge of the image is trimmed all the way around my TV. Not a problem unless some action is right at the edge of the screen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is "Google's lookup dialer"? What is this, what does it do, get it at the playstore? My stock dialer is alright but I miss where the dialer merged with contacts so now I get this string of "recents", many of which I do not care about, and others I want added to this "instant list" but cannot add anything. If I need a number that is not in history or recents, I must close the dialer, open the contacts, find it there, even favorites, and tap there to place the call. This is NOT exactly the epitome of efficiency here, folks. The JB dialer at least did a better job than the new KK stock dialer.

You got a better dialer Jake? Give it up, what's the deal?

...thank you. Thank you very much. Pass the peas. Thank you. Pass the mashed potatoes. Thank you. Pass the pork chops. Thank you very much!

"Elvis Presley skit on Saturday Night Live"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Open the dialer app also called phone. In the box at the top where you can type instead of entering a contact enter a store or location. It searches for you and will pull up places for you that you can click to call. In settings you can change the search directories for the lookups and ids. Its pretty sweet.

I guess I never bothered to use the search feature in the dailer app... Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Heres some screenshots you can see the default screen. Me entering a place and the result as well as the options in the settings menu. They were added in today's 3/22 build where these features from the exclusive nexus line Google dialer were incorporated into our stock dialer using open source alternative code. :)

PS Ohmster I PM'd you back. Dunno you got it or not.

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh that is cool, dude. Yeah, I do search out contacts instead of opening the contacts app but did not know you could search out like Domino's Pizza or something. WAY cool!

I still miss merging the dialer and contacts all in one like before. I got a Favorites screen and to swipe one screen over, tap a favorite, and be on the phone was a LOT easier than typing for it or opening a separate contacts app. What were they thinking when they split contacts off from the dialer??

Thanks man! :highfive:

Just flagged the latest and have green notification light

Sent by my Razr, from the mothership
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aximander:
One problem.... Wanted to see if anyone else had it.... I can't hang up on a call on the phone. I can on my blue tooth, but not by tapping the red bar on the phone. Last build the screen would go dark in a call and I couldn't get it back on until the call was done. Thinking I might need to wipe.... :(

Wonder if there is a way to reinstall just the dialer...

Sent by my Razr, from the mothership
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks Aximander. Reports like this help me a real lot. So, I say thanks and yeah, it means something to me.

The green notification light is not an OMG big deal, but it has worked ever since I had the phone, for years. I do not think anyone "took it out", I think it got disabled with the HDMI think, no one noticed, and the rom was released. These are, after all, "Nightlies". I probably over reacted a bit. But I want my rom stable. Even if I sit on the same rom for a month, that is fine. Everything on it works, no issues, fine. Like anyone else, I want the new, cool stuff too. But to get it, I do not want to lose my notification light, or not be able to hang up the phone. But, if you deal with beta software or nightly roms, you come to expect this stuff.

Beta software (Unfinished and still being developed and tested software) drove me nuts and I swore off of it. If it is not stale, retail, or release, I am not touching it. But if I took that attitude with cm11, I might not get my hands on it for a LONG time or who knows, maybe not at all. The rom build cycle may take so long as to outlive the phone and it may never to to stable. I doubt it but it could happen. Now we have a new, exciting feature, HDMI. It is a big deal or else it would have been in the rom already. Now that it is in the rom, we have issues like notification and some xposed modules not working for me and for you, cannot hang up the phone. So, as cool as the new rom is, I will pass until the bugs get worked out, HDMI stays, and no reported bugs.

I just wanted to say thanks for installing, testing, and reporting. This helps a lot! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
I just wiped and flashed 3/22 and seems to be working for me. Haven't tried HDMI.

I am still having the issue with hangouts not offering me group MMS
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I went back to 03/09 and checked Hangouts, yes, it offers group MMS. I haven't tried it with anyone, but it is available. I am trying to get with someone to try hangouts, period. I did install 03/22 and lost notification LED, cannot record video for MMS, and many Xposed modules stopped or did not work. I went back to 03/09 again. I will try the next build I think and see how it goes. Will report if I do.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
I got group MMS back. My notification light is working. I have not tried video in MMS yet. Having some Google server lock issues already though. They seemed to start soon as I turned off trusted apps. I turned it back on but it didnt reconnect
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh dude! You got notification light back?

Like does it flick on every 30 seconds with screen off?

Does it flick on while screen on?

Does it change colors for missed call and voicemail (requires setting in Display and Lights)?

What build, 03/23? Xposed modules working? (There is an update to the Xposed framework to v 2.5. Get it from the website with your Android browser, just Google Xposed framework. If you do not know about the Xposed stuff, it's okay. Can you tell me the other stuff?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
It works like normal it seems with screen off

Works fine with screen on

Didn't see anything about changing colors

I am on 3/22. I haven't tested Xposed framework on it, actually haven't been on the framework in a while. I will try it again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thank you very much. The display colors are in the Settings Menu under "Display and lights. Then tap at the bottom pulse notification light. There you will see the Normal, color, and settings. Same for missed call and voice mail. I cannot go look at the moment, but that is where it is. Trying to get 03/23 OTA but the server is dragging butt and dropping the download. Must be getting bum rushed or something. The colors for voice mail and missed call are nice. At a glance, you can tell if you missed a call or have voicemail by picking a different color. You do not "have to" do this, it is up to you.

Xposed framework is updated to v 2.5. Google for "xposed framework" and download it in the browser to get it, not available as an update in the actual framework right now. I had to uninstall it and install it again from the web. Lots of super cool modules in there. I have posted my list many times. If you want to see them, the list is in the thumbnails. These are not "the best", just what I found and like. Here is the list to browse if you want to see what they do.

Thanks for your help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Found the light. Never changed it before actually but it seems to be working for me.

I downloaded 3/23 but didnt flash yet.

I'll take a look at some new modules tomorrow. thanks for the update regarding Xposed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I flashed 03/23, it is good. Better than 03/22. Now wonky at all. Still got no notification light when dark screen. Should blink every 30 seconds. Might be my phone since everyone else says it works. It was working last night on 03/09 but by today, no more notification light for "Normal" on dark screen. Strange.

The modules are KILLER, check them out! 'night.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jbag1489:
I just want to say thanks to everyone in this thread for all the error reporting and solutions everyone offers. I used to be a lot more active in the community (making some themes and stuff), but started getting a LOT of overtime and now have a 4 month old at home.

So I get a lot less chances to play, but I appreciate everything this community does to help each other out!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aximander:
I'm on 3-23...dialer issue gone. Everything I've tried seems to be working. Haven't tried mms... But then again I don't normally.

Sent by my Razr, from the mothership
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dkahs23:
MMS is working for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, 03/23 is a good one.

I got no notification LED anymore, but I do not think it is the rom.

I reverted to 03/09 for a couple of days and the green light would flash every 30 seconds w/dark screen. That stopped the next day. A missed call or voicemail DOES makes it work. Dark screen and missed call blinks magenta. Voicemail dark screen makes it blink cyan. But the "all okay, phone not locked, power on, ready when you are" green flash has stopped. Some folks think this is stupid, they do not use the LED and cannot see what the fuss is about. Well, the fact that you do not have to get up off the couch or out of bed to double check the phone is reason enough for it to work. A Google search shows this issue has frustrated many people. The LED works until it syncs with Google servers, apps and data is restored by Google sync, and once done, LED stops. Google may have sent info from a different build or rom. There is a "very basic" off/on widget by Motorola for this reason, but it has no effect.

After updating my good 03/09 build and adding a few choice nuggets of Xposed modules, I dumped some previous backups to make room. Used Sherri's advice to use the Nova Launcher Backup to save my desktop layout, and then make a new backup of the nicely tweaked 03/09 build, and then took the OTA to 03/23. It took six attempts to get that OTA downloaded, the servers were very busy last night. Seems everyone wants this build.

Hey, a really good xposed module for any kind of info about your hardware in the notification bar or can be an app just to check is Cool Tool. Try to download the xposed module which is the app AND module. Maybe the app has the module built in, but I got mine from the Download modules section in Xposed Framework. When set as an Xposed module, it stays in the notification bar nice and neat. I like to view CPU load, memory use, and CPU speed. This does all that and about 100 other things you can turn on and off. If the phone is acting slow, look at the bar and see if cpu is pinned, full blast, and memory is low. You get a moving graph to record stuff, mine shows CPU history. See screenshot what it looks like on mine. (This screenshot also shows how to adjust the Notification LED, found in "Settings/Display and Lights/Pulse Notification Light" at bottom.)

MMS video still not working, touch record and "Size limit exceeded" but video works otherwise. HDMI is alleged to work but I do not have the cable for testing it. Aside from that, this is a good rom. Yep, Aximander is right, good rom. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
I just moved to 3/23 ... was having dialer issues when using Lookup or Google Now then direct dialing. It would always immediately end the call.

Just for the heck of it I went ahead and tried to group MMS. Group MMS seem to have worked fine. However the video lasted about a second half before and said size limit passed. No clue what I'm doing with the video since I've never sent a video over text before. But I tried it for Ohms benefit

I used hangouts not stock... To be clear

I know, the option completely disappears from the settings in Hangouts but remains in the stock Messaging app

Thanks for clarifying
[Motorola Droid RAZR] soundgirl101:
:cool: Okay, def understand now!! Group mms not an option in "Hangouts", wonder if this is rom or Google related??:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Not sure. I will say it was missing after a clean install of 3/22 with pa-gapps and once Hangouts updated it returned. I flashed 3/23 on top of that today and the option disappeared. I removed hangouts updates and reinstalled them and it did not return.
