[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Installing cm-11-20150119-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip now, OTA from Settings menu. Give you a full report tomorrow. One interesting thing to note is that anytime you update OTA from /Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates/ or anytime the dalvik cache is wiped, you get the "Android is upgrading" messages with an app count. "Optimizing app 54 out of 121". Normally this app count reflects the actual count of all installed apps on the system. About 2 months ago, the Nightly CM11 builds really went sour. The updating app count was often dead wrong as I have over 200 apps on this phone. And these roms failed for whatever reason.

This trend seems to be changing now. Although I do get inaccurate updating app counts upon reboot from update, the rom itself actually works quite well. Strange, but noteworthy. Previously I would dump any rom that failed the bootup app count.

Anytime you consider upgrading your CM11 rom, it is recommended to consult the Spyder Changelog to see what, if any, significant changes have been commuted to the new build. Example: Installing new language files that I will never use is not significant, but framework updates and bug fixes are ALWAYS important. ;)

Rom installed, updating AdAway host file, BetterBatteryStats as a system app, and updating Xposed Framework, rebooting now...

Reboot complete. System appears to be smooth. A fast test of "Contacts address to Maps" resulted in a self-reboot of the system. Self-reboots after initial install is not uncommon, often the new rom requires another boot to settle in. Trying "Contacts > Maps > Navigation"again.

"Contacts > Maps > Navigation" Results:

Contact Address = 0 Seconds

Contact Address to Maps = 25 Seconds

Maps Address to GPS Navigation = 39 Seconds

Wow, that is what I call "stellar performance". I like this rom. Will test this heavy and give you an updated Build Report tomorrow. Looking good, buddy. :good:

EDIT:

I did mention that the updating app count was incorrect when I performed the OTA update on this rom. First attempt at Maps caused a self-reboot. I then drove to the corner store and gave the phone a "Mini Multitask Workout". Bluetooth to car, Streaming Music Slacker Radio app, and GPS Navigation all at the same time. When I reached my destination, the phone had locked up. I could not exit the Navivation app or get any response from the phone. I performed a "Hard Power Down" (Hold Power and Volume Down until screen goes dark.) on the device and rebooted. Once getting home, I performed a dalvik and cache wipe in Safe Strap. Phone is rebooting, Optimizing App Count is correct at 212 apps.

It is a bit premature to brand this as a bad rom, I don't believe such to be the case. The 01/19 rom does appear to be a very good rom, but needs to "settle in" properly.

I would strongly recommend that you perform a reboot with dalvik and cache wipe in Safe Strap shortly after installing the 01/19 cm11 rom.

Also strongly recommended is that you always backup your current, working rom before applying any build updates so that you have something to restore in the event the update goes wrong. :D

Update SanDisk defective Micro SD Card Status:

SanDisk Corporation had no issue with issuing me an RMA immediately. They emailed me the RMA # and a pre-paid UPS shipping label with instructions. The defective 64Gb SD Card has been dropped off at UPS and when they receive it at SanDisk, a new class 10, 64Gb Micro SD Card will be shipped. Good company, good product, and a ten year warranty. Right now I am using my stock 16Gb ext-sdcard and am able to save backups and photos again, but I sure do miss my "Monster SD card", a lot. ;)
