Mr. Chen, good morning to you my friend! :)

Yes, I like the suggestion of "Build Report Standards". But what bothers me (Not me personally) is that build reports are a strictly voluntary thing to do. Anyone can and should post a build report when they update to a new rom. But when asking for volunteers, we tend to "get what we get" and are thankful for it. A lot of junior members might not even know the difference between "Umts_Spyder V.s. Spyder". The UMTS is the XT910 GSM radio version of the spyder (OMAP4 Droid Razr devices) roms that we all use. The just plain "Spyder" roms are for the XT912 CDMA, radio, which we use here in the United States. Sometimes it takes a while for a cm11 user to even know there is a difference. They "use what they use" and know of nothing else or even, what to call it. :rolleyes:

I will participate in the standards you suggest but when it comes to gapps, I would not know off the top of my head. I installed this system months ago and the gapps have updated themselves several times over. I think that gapps build date should be included for fresh or manual flash installs. Version if the user remembers it. I only use pa-gapps mini-modular.

Model if not included in signature, version from-to of course, and method i.e.: OTA, Clean install, or manual flash with wipes.

But, this is voluntary and volunteers are not exactly "crawling out of the woodwork". I will take what I can get. :p

I do think it would be best if members would put their device model and carrier/location in their signatures. After all, most members come here for help and fail to give us basic info when asking such as device, model, area and carrier so we know CDMA or GSM is being used. That stuff really needs to go into the sig. Maybe we start giving "gentle reminders" of this to new or lacking posters? Without insulting them or making them uncomfortable, perhaps?

Wow, you have an XT910 and are having the exact issue with 11/11 as I was! Mine started good but after a night on the charger and next day, the "rom party begins" and this is where most roms really begin to show problems. That is exactly right, the buttons light but not the screen. And it can and will become more difficult when the screen will not light at all or is so difficult, that I just give up. I did not leave 11/11 installed after seeing the return of the black screen so I restored my good 11/07 backup. I bet that 11/08 is not a bad rom either. I just installed it and updated to 11/09 because it was available and never really gave 11/08 a chance. Very accurate report, Mr. Chen, very accurate. Thank you. I will post more information in my posts. I often forget about the 910 phones or GSM until I get blindsided by questions about them at the help desk. For me it is late. Goodnight Mr. Chen. A pleasure, as always talking to you my friend. :D

It may not be a good idea to rely on the poster's signature for the device identification. I know that XDA forum logs me out fairly quickly, and so I think many people are not logged in when they are reading the forum. But when I am not logged in, I can't see the signature or the Thanks button.

I think you are right about us having to accept build reports in any form that we can get them. It is not as if this thread is being flooded with build reports. We have to be thankful for the one's we get in any format. I will also try to follow this standard in my reports.

I have issue with snapshot m12, in battery usage Maps uses 80%, and in details there is written gps usage 14h - all the time from disconnecting from charger, but i have gps turned off! I have maxx battery and it took about 20% of battery in 14 hours, so not too much, but without this issue it could be a lot of less i think. What should i do?

I do all my posting on a PC. Why use a tiny phone when I have a big screen and keyboard right here? But that is me, many or most members really do use TapaTalk or the XDA app to read and post. I forgot all about that and I know what you see in the app is not what I see on a PC. I just checked TapaTalk, it is not the same at all.

Since it is voluntary I think you are right, Allen. We take what we can get. But the experienced members will at least give us enough information to know if this build will or won't work on our devices. Mr. Chen had a great idea if we had a Build Test system setup, but we don't. The Signature information won't work because many members use Apps to communicate here. So I will put device and update information in my posts, and maybe put note at the bottom that Build Reports are always welcome and appreciated, anyone can submit a Build Report, so that interested members can submit some, if they want to. I tell you, those Build Reports are like mining gold in here, bro. I "lived on those things" for the past year, almost. A bad build will cause problems, so knowing which ones to skip is a valuable asset. The more people that take the time to submit some, the better the entire group does. And it is a great way to make friends for newbies. :)

Thanks, Allen. And you too, Mr. Chen. :good:

If you are getting 14 hours on a charge with cm11, that is pretty good. Not a lot to complain about there, buddy. I don't know what kind of device you have but your location is not familiar to me. You have an XT910 GSM, yes?

Is anyone here having issues with the M12 SNAPSHOT on an XT910 phone? Battery issues or excessive Maps battery use? You have /Settings/Location/ turned OFF, right?

A lot of us in here use Greenify to put apps and services we do not need running all the time to sleep. The sleeping app will still work, it just will not run when not in use. You could put Maps to sleep with it, BUT, you will need to pay the $3 for the Greenify Donation Pack to put system apps like Maps to sleep. I have my Maps sleeping because I do not want Maps to run, use battery, or system power when I am not using Maps. But you do not have to do this. If you really are getting 14 hours on a charge, you are doing pretty good.

If someone else here is having any issues with the M12 snapshot on an XT910 phone, they will let us know so we can address it.

tojejo next time you ask a question here, please tell us what kind of phone you have and what system you use, GSM or CDMA, as well as the question. Also be a good member and tap the Thanks button on any post that you find helpful. Okay buddy? :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tojejo:
It is razr cm11 thread so i though it is obvious that i got it also. Have written that i use maxx battery, just converted it from usual razr so hardware is stock, just bigger battery, forgot to say that my phone is gsm version. 14 hours was just in idle, with 20 min of screen use and it took 20% battery becouse of maps issue. I dont use greenify because it is useless until i cannot hibernate apps like messangers, becouse it requires xposed, and i dont have it, coz i prefer ART than xposed.

Anyway problem was solved, i just turned gps on and off from settings menu, not like doing it before from quick settings and it stopped to count gps usage anymore. Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hey thanks, Bob!

The branch date on the M12 SNAPSHOT is 11/03. Wow, that is already "Pretty Old". I am still on 11/07 because it is stable and I like it, Mr. Chen is back to 11/08, and the 11/09. 11/10, and 11/11 builds were all "bombs".

I was going to ask members here who installed the M12 Snapshot to give a Build Report, but on a rom that old, I don't really need it since myself and most members are already past 11/03 already. The snapshot came out on 11/12 and is the 11/03 Nightly Build, so it is released 9 days past Nightly. Interesting, I did not know they were quite that old. Was there any further work done on the snapshot since the nightly? Not sure, your link states this M12 Snapshot is heavy on security and stability. Not so much for new features.

So, any of you with the M12 SNAPSHOT installed, is it "more stable"? I am a NIGHTLY user so I really do not want to go back that far to install the snapshot. But some feedback from members who installed it would be great. More stable, yes, no, the same? We can't really test security but is battery life better, worse, or no significant difference?

Thanks Bob and anyone with the snapshot installed who replies. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh, you toggled the GPS setting in the Settings menu instead of the quick set panel. Very good, tojejo!

These Razr phones come in two flavors, Model XT910 for GSM Europe and abroad, XT912 for US and CDMA. You can tell the model phone you have in /Settings/About Phone/Model number/, in my screenshot attached you can see I have an XT912 phone. That is the kind of information we need to help with your model phone, for the future. ;)

Well, you were very smart and figured out yourself how to toggle the Location setting in the menu. Nice job. Gosh, most of us here use Dalvik instead of ART so getting help with it might be a little more difficult. From what I hear, ART is not as heavily supported than Dalvik so I am sticking with Dalvik only because it is easier to maintain the phone. I have heard that ART is actually better in some ways. What do you find better about ART than Dalvik, [MENTION=4491863]tojejo[/MENTION]?

...and thanks for letting us know what happened. :good:

11-13-14 Nightly build

Overall it seems to be getting better than the last several nightlies, but... The phone process is began crashing again within an hour. First I did a dirty flash over the 11-12-14 snapshot build and when the phone process began crashing I rebooted into safestrap and wiped dalvic, cache, secure and system then reflashed the 11-13-14 nightly and pa gapps micro modular, cleared cache and dalvic and rebooted. After it fully booted I checked it and the phone process began crashing repeatedly. Hopefully they will iron out this bug soon. I am currently running liquid smooth in slot 2.

I use XDA forum only from Windows 8.1. I don't think the issue is PC vs TapaTalk, it's whether you are logged in or not. Maybe with TapaTalk you are logged in all the time. I don't know.

CM11 M12 Build Report: XT910 (umts_spyder)/gapps-kk-minimal/Testing period: 11/13-11/14/Source: CM Updater OTA.

Note: I updated to M12 from the 11/11 nightly, so there could be conflicts between nightly and snapshot code (M12 branched 11/3). I don't charge my phone overnight, but only when the battery is low. Running Greenify free and DS Battery Saver Aggressive or Slumberer option.

Pro:

1. No major issues, such as FCs or black screens.

2. CM File Mgr menu fixed.

3. Battery life in normal usage and standby seems about the same as recent nightlies--could be better.

4. BetterBatteryStats shows overnight 83% deep sleep, 17% awake, 13% screen on, and 7% wifi on, mostly standby, some surfing, ebook reading.

Con:

1. Contacts export still not working in either Phone or People app- same last few nightlies.

2. Created video audio very low- same recent nightlies (MX Player can increase volume beyond normal max).

3. Tried sending picture to my email using Messaging app. Sent but never arrived- same nightlies.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wow, I really want to thank you guys for some totally awesome build reports. I bet that even [MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] would love work like this! Mr. Chen *such* decent guy. :D

I am really surprised at all the crashes in 11/13. I just installed it on my tablet and it works really well. But the Galaxy Tab 2 is not a OMAP4 and does not have a radio either. I thought for sure if you wiped dalvik, cache, and system that you could flash it with pa-gapps and keep your current setup, but that crashed too? The only thing I can think of, short of installing it and trying it too, is that it could be your system setup and all that stuff is in the data partition. Why don't I install it? Well, right now, 11/07 is so good that I can depend on it for everyday use. If I could, I would push this build over to stock. Yeah, it is really running that well. And that may not be "just the rom" but what is setup on it and not setup on it that is saved to data to run in the next build install. It is taking me a real long time to learn this, but if I get the phone setup "just right" on a good build, it really does run smooth, "like butta". What does "just right" mean? Man, I wish I could put it into words, but when you have it, you will know. The phone just purrs all the time and never crashes or fails, but for multitasking and then it slows down a lot, as I would expect. When I figure this out good enough, it will go into my Guide - Part II.

Now the M12 sounds like it is running pretty good for Allen. Could be a more stable build, or he has his device setup well. Not saying you don't, Morr. I just don't know enough yet. Let me ask a question here:

Before both of you updated to 11/13 or M12 SNAPSHOT, did you update over a perfectly running system or one that had some issues? When I update to a good build with no known issues present, the update goes very well. When I update from a "problem system", the results are not good. That is why I back out of bad builds with Safe Strap backups so often. I don't want to update w/issues, unless I know for sure the issues came with the rom and were not in the phone setup or apps. If the problem came from a poor rom and not the system setup I have, then a good build update will usually fix it.

Great work guys, thank you very much! :)

P.S.

About logging in to see the signature. I post from a PC with saved password in my home so I don't have to log in. I think you can read posts w/out logging in, but to reply, you do have to log in for that, even with the phone app. Is that right?

11-13-14 Nightly

Hi Ohmster. I've been on xda for quite a while now so I am familiar with you from reading the CM11 thread. Before my RAZR Maxx I had rooted and ROM'd my moto defy and maybe a dozen tablets and android tv sticks. I spend a lot of time reading and researching things but don't always have the time to comment in the forums, but I recently decided to change careers and go back to school so I have a little more time now.

I do try to be thorough. I usually create a new backup in safestrap about once a month or so (4-6 weeks) and completely wipe the slot and start with a totally clean fresh install. My last backup was from 10-3-14 which was a pretty stable one with no crashes or major issues for me. But after your multiple comments on the stability on the 11-7-14 nightly I just wiped the 11-13-14 and installed 11-7-14 and will back it up.

I usually keep CM installed in slot 1 and have about 5 or 6 ROM's that I rotate in slot 2 and keep a good backup of each of them on my sd card that way I always have something I can rely on when needed. Plus it is fun to try out the new ROM's and features. Like there is a new version of aokp for the RAZR and the same dev is planning to bring a new version of dirty unicorns to the RAZR.

I am hoping that at some point I will be able to port a ROM successfully or possibly build one from source, but I still have a long way to go before I get there.

While I would love to get a new droid turbo, i can't afford it. So i am keeping an eye on the upcoming ARA modular phones and that will probably be my next phone purchase, hopefully it will be rooted and ROM'd shortly after being released.

Anyway, I do enjoy xda and the RAZR CM forum and do not mind your lengthy posts, they can be informative and entertaining.

Long live the RAZR ! ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Anyone running a newer nightly build happy with it?

I know the past several builds has a lot of issues. I am having great luck by staying on 11/07 but, would like to update sometime soon. Change Log shows several changes for next Nightly. I want to see these massive changes slow down a bit to update. Anyone here having "great luck" with any NIghtlies since 11/10 so far? Or are you guys going to wait it out, too? Thanks! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I'm currently taking your advice and staying on 11/07. It does seem to work well.

I tried a clean install of 11/13 into a newly created ROM slot, but had problems. Will try again when the next nightly is released.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Sounds good Dwillian, you've got your feet on solid ground. :good:

If anybody wants a solid rom for the meantime,

get a copy of 11/07 FAST before it slips off the server!

Direct Download: cm-11-20141107-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

NOTE: Since many of us are now sitting on a week old rom until something good comes along, this is a great time to fix up your system and get these changes into your data partition so the next update will contain cleaned up settings you can make now. In my post #6685 More Secrets on how to get a good running CM11 Phone and keep it that way, I gave a lot of suggestions on how to clean up your system to make it lean and mean. Read it and clean it up! Save your progress in Safe Strap. I am not "great at this" but cannot complain about my running system either.

Ask questions if you have any.

Suggestions, tips, and techniques are always welcome.

And special Thanks to you guys in the trenches, testing new builds, and reporting.

Happy Romming, guys! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] parser:
After a long search of a stable build, this moment I am happy to say M12 is the best.

For me it's important to multitask (which is at the moment Whatsapp+ Messenger + Spotify + websurfing same time) my battery died since I didn't close the screen in the last 2 hours but i didn't get any lag or fc. Not even once :)) I am very happy. Just a suggestion ; don't activate the art. I was throwing my phone out of the window because of it :P

Thanks to cm team for this powerful rom :)) and our beloved contributers(they know who they are, and frankly I cannot write their nicknames from my phone. It is too hard atm:) who sacrificed their phones for the ones like me so that we don't have to get crazy :D like I did today in the morning :P

I dunno if it's the end (the thread says final?) but I am here with my Razr for foreseeable future :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hey man, that is really good news. When you say "don't activate the art", do you mean the Music Album Art? So M12 is stable and you like it. Great news. It does branch off at NIGHTLY Build 11/03 and during that week of November, the roms were really good. You are on the Monday build and I am on the Friday build of the same week.

I don't use Spottify anymore. At one time they were really great, but then, sort of "threw the free members under the bus" and now if you do not pay every month, the experience is not a nice as it used to be. I do not mind paying for good apps like Greenify, but another monthly bill is something I for sure can live without! At least for me it is not good anymore and I am not going to be extorted for a pay membership. :(

You like Spottify and it makes you happy. That is all that matters. I am going to take this Album Art tip seriously. I am always looking for new ways to make my phone "lean and mean" and that Art is another background process I can take out to lighten the system and data load.

I didn't think about Album Art before, I use Google Play Music and that is a lot of constant downloading and more syncing that I can really live without. I am going to explore this option and add it to my Online Guide until I move it to it's own Guide post. Nice tip, fellow. Thanks!

"Last" is not the end of this thread, it means that CyanogenMod is getting ready to make CM11 stable so they have no plans to release anymore snapshot builds. We will be here for quite a while my friend. ;)

EDIT:

I went thought all the settings both online, on PC, and on device to stop synching or downloading Album Art in Google Play Music. Well, it is an awesome tip to speed up the phone, but not currently available in Google Play Music. Next is to check my other music apps like Slacker, TuneIn, Pandora, and Public Radio. Be careful with Public Radio! I was trying some podcasts and before I knew it, the phone downloaded over 2Gb of podcasts and updates! Public Radio is an awesome app, just have to watch the settings. :)

I thinks it's just different on build date, umts_spyder build is build after spyder and finished in 11/14. Build sequence is by model-name.

I think you got lucky, Mr. Chen. Got your reply at 11:10 PM on Friday, 11/14/2014. (Is it already Saturday where you live?) The spyder builds are still not released yet. But the nice build report that you posted is quite promising. Thank you Mr. Chen.

XT910 (umts_spyder)/gapps-kk-20140924-minimal/Nightly 141114->141115/CM Updater

I am not seeing much difference between M12 and 11/14 nightly (11/13 Spyder), with my normal usage. M12 doesn't have the File Manager menu bug because it was introduced in 11/11. It is not fixed in 11/15. I don't think this is an intentional change--why would they display a non-functioning menu? Both builds run smoothly on my phone without lags, FCs, or black screens. I just installed 11/15, but so far it looks good also.

I wonder why the umts_spyder 11/15 nightly is available before the spyder build, when the spyder builds have been coming out several hours before umts_spyder previously?
