Wow, that is pretty cool ASCII art. I don't think I've ever seen that one before! :laugh:

MX Player is awesome and is my video player of choice for Android. But I have been using VLC on my PC for a long time, it does a great job with flv files that come from the internet. And one really amazing thing VLC does is play incomplete or even somewhat corrupted video files. I just downloaded the movie, Andromeda Strain, the one I saw at the movies when I was a kid. I was able to view parts of it as it was downloading with VLC and you know what? It was the wrong movie! Apparently, there were several spin offs of this movie and a TV miniseries. I could see the actors were different and my favorite part at the end, where "the odd man" had to stop the nuclear detonation, where he gets shot by the green lasers was not even in the movie. I killed the download and found the one I wanted.

"Nothing" will view an avi video file that is incomplete but VLC not only plays them, it comes with all of the codecs it needs to play just about any video file there is. I installed it on my Android devices to try it out. VLC is "good stuff" and I am keeping it on my Android devices.

I am still putting my tablet back together after the cm11 meltdown and I cannot believe how difficult this is. Almost any little thing starts off with the FC faults again. A dalvik and cache wipe cleans it up. It does not usually start problems by itself, it is when I install new stuff or xposed modules, or updates from the play store or system updates. I wanted to give this neon theme another shot and after getting it all setup the way I want, I made a backup and rebooted. The boot animation took forever so I gave up and restored a previous backup. That started with more FC errors and I went back, restored my most recent backup, THEN, while in TWRP, I wiped dalvik and cache and presto, I got my tablet back!

The tablet is fast and works quite well, but appears fragile to new updates and modules. I am sure that most of my previous problems were due to not using due diligence in monitoring the system, and I also think that a good percent of the issues are due to all of the play store updates. Man, every week there are like 15-40 updates! NO app needs updating that frequently. Might be that the apps and updates are to ready the system for the new Android 5 OS, although I cannot be sure. I decided to leave auto-updates on this time, to double check my advice to turn that play store feature off. Well, I have seen enough. I shut off play store auto-updates again.

My phone, the XT912 *never* has problems, knock on wood. CM11 is a very good, stable rom. But if you mess with it too much, I think you are asking for trouble. "System helper" apps and modules really do not help much at all and usually introduce new problems. I still use Greenify, that is one xposed module that is really worth the couple of dollars it cost, 2 bucks, maybe.

Well, this tablet experience is sure teaching me a LOT of stuff that I never wanted to know about cm11 and roms, but, I guess it was time to go back to school again. The tablet is stable now, I have a backup and know enough to wipe dalvik and cache when issues arise and the phone is golden. :D

EDIT:

I use Facebook Lite and the Messenger app has been crashing a LOT, lately. When I am not even using it. I see there is an update for it, which I will take, and make sure that it is in the Greenify list. Hmm, Tapatalk, Skype, Jota+, and Google Calendar all have updates. I will take them, but I am sure this will need another dalvik & cache wipe. I hardly never had to do wipes like this, but putting the Humpty Dumpty Tablet back together again mandates it, almost every time I alter something. Great, another mystery to try and solve. :confused:
