Well, I did *everything* in one day, so I expected unusual behavior such as FCs or other issues until this rom settles in. Since I "dragged along with" all of the optimizations and Greenify settings from the slot 1 install, it is really working very well, as good and a little better. I got to run Trim on the sdcard and that did speed it up. So I think yeah, it runs as good or better than another slot. If you use a utility like LagFix (fstrim) Premium (I broke down and paid the 99¢ for the premium version but there is a free version, w/out scheduling, LagFix (fstrim) Free)

The real benefit of doing this is now you have a solid Stock rom that not only always works, but is a Kit Kat rom and had proven itself to be reliable. This allows me to delete Safe Strap rom slot 1 and recreate it, blank. I want to do this so I will not use up all the extra available storage space that will appear on my internal sdcard if I delete the "in use" slot 1. Now I can try out CM12 just to see how cool it is w/out having to rely on it as my daily phone. Or AOKP for a test run. It is not likely that I will dump CM11 for APKP, CM12, or any other rom, but it now gives me the opportunity to try them out with enough space on the rom slot to really give it a fair trial.

I have had this cm11 on stock for less than a day so I cannot point out any improvements over a traditional rom slot but for the TRIM ability. I will say it is just as good as what I was using in slot 1 and nothing is missing. It is very nice now. I run my phone in stock mode instead of a rom slot because my stock is now my rom of choice. All of the "rear" of taking weeks to put back by hand all the things I had before, with optimizations, are gone. By effectively using Titanium Backup to restore everything, I got ALL of it back. The few accounts in Settings I did have to put back manually. The apps were restored with data so they all login normally. I turned off Play Store updates and stopped Play Store from repopulating my system as I wanted to do that with Titanium Backup so I could restore data as well.

Everything positive here my friend. Now I have to redo the Online Guide to reflect the many, many changes that have occurred since last update of the guide. In a week or so, when I am absolutely sure that I will not need anything from that rom, I will delete it. I did have to go back into slot 1 a couple of times to gather some backup data for Titanium Backup.

Hi, it's ok to me. Your guide is a very helpful document to everyone and I'm glad I can contribute some useful posts in it. :highfive:

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION].

My setup before returning to CM11 was AOKP on stock. Then I installed CM11 in rom-slot1 and because there is battery drain on AOKP running off stock, I moved AOKP to rom-slot1 and CM11 to stock (backed them both up and then wiped and restored).

The very first time I moved to stock, I was unsuccessful at restoring from rom-slot1 to stock slot. It could have been because of JB back then - even though I wiped it.

But now my restores work across the board. :)

I think I need to point out that I did not just restore /data. I restored the entire backup. No flashing required. Even xposed is up and running once I'm in.

Can't flash CM11 and GAPPS on stock slot in Safestrap.

Since this morning from 7am till now 5pm, I tried numerous times to flash CM11 to my RAZR MAXX XT910...

I have flashing STOCK JB over and over again... As whenever I flash the CM11 (Snapshot M12), I got two errors, one of the errors is "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" photo below (sorry if the photo is very big...)

Then I guess the CM11 might be successfully flashed even though it shows "FAILED"

I got the second error, telling me "Insufficient storage space available in System Partition. " :(

[IMG="The second error that appears when I flash the Gapps..."]http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo315/ChengGuanHao/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150425_164530_zpsfvziqeu3.jpg[/IMG]

Anyone able to help? :(

Thanks to [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] and some of the members for keeping this thread ALIVE! :)

But could you tell me which CM11 ROM release date you use, which GAPPS you used to successfully flash CM11 into STOCK ROM? :(

Thanks in advance!

I'm just using these gapps - but it looks like you are using the same.

For newer CM11 builds go here. Since our phones received CM12 we no longer get official CM11 updates but stargo has been doing some on the side for us. Ohmster is happy with 12/04/2015 build, but I'm using 29/03/2015 and I'm pleased with it.

Hope you come right with flashing. [MENTION=6303356]Krauzaa[/MENTION] had the same problem as you, so his reference is best.

Cool System Monitor Feature, does not tax the system!

I really love system monitor apps but found out the hard way that apps and Xposed modules that give the most information drag down the system by putting a heavy load on the system itself! I did find one very useful Xposed Module CPUFreq in Statusbar that does not slow down the system at all! In the attached screenshot, the 800M is my CPU frequency at that moment.

This gives me the current CPU Frequency but not the amount of RAM used or free. I use GravityBox [KK] Xposed to give me the Nav Bar and to color the status bar text. I also use it to give me an upload/download speed indicator. Another feature in GravityBox that I just became aware of is the RAM bar in the Recently Used panel. That is the "double window" Icon on the right of the Nav Bar. This does not use any additional resources so now I can easily check my available RAM to see if any apps are misbehaving.

I wanted to share this with you guys because many of you do use GravityBox and personally, I think this is *very* cool! :D

First try installing on a Rom slot, if it installs fine and boots, try stock slot.

Before installing on stock slot, backup up stock rom.

When installing on stock slot, if you get any errors do not reboot, Restore stock backup.

If you are getting install errors

Wipe, advanced wipe,

Select caches, system, data, Android secure (every thing except storage/SD card) and wipe

man, i love this rom. prety smooth on my Droid Razr Maxx XT912 run on latest build cm-11-20150426-UNOFFICIAL-spyder

1st time i try to flash using recovery SafeStrap 3.75 for unused partitions (/preinstall & /webtop) version

1st time what i do is :

1. choose stock rom slot

2. advance wipe (dalvik, data, system, and cache)

3. then flash the rom. i got an error when flashing. something "error executing bla bla bla" and end up with no rom

4. i flash again the stock rom via RSD Lite and install root, busybox, and safestrap

2nd time what i do is :

1. choose ROM Slot 1

2. then flash the rom, gapps, and GSM fix (because i need that to get signal on GSM in my country)

3. reboot and setup

4. restoring apps using tibu and the all apps run perfectly on this rom

i don't know what cause of the problem when flashing on 1st time. but nevermind.

thx for developing this rom. keep it up :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Krauzaa:
For stock rom, first wipe /data, /dalvik, /cache, /android.secure, and THEN wipe /system. We talking about that for a week :D

still, same things happen.

Try again, when i have rom on romslot1, and flash rom with procedure that i describe in my previous post, I have error again. Then i reflash JB & Safestrap, without install CM on romslot, try again install on stock and voila!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tomhtg90:
i'm already done what you have done. LOL

maybe my safestrap. i'll try safestrap 3.75 without the modified one

04/26/2015 UNOFFICIAL Out, update is easy for stock!

I see a that Casper announced a new rom for us, the 04/26 UNOFFICIAL. Of course I want it. I have already pushed my CM11 rom to stock. I see several members having issues with updating and they are using all of this "high tech", wipe, this, wipe that stuff.

Hello! ...CyanogenMod is full featured for a reason. We have OTA Update and it has always worked just fine. :D

Whatever happened to the KISS rule? (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) My update was a piece of cake. Copied cm-11-20150426-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip to the /sdcard/cmupdater/ folder. Then just tap for an OTA update. Right there, in /Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates/ and there it is, already downloaded and ready to install! Tap the doorway icon and let the updater script do it's thing. No wiping, no praying, no RSDLite, no going back to Jellybean and trying all over again, and, no gapps. One Tap, done! Another reboot to update AdAway and Xposed Framework. I wish all of life was this simple! :D

The phone booted to recovery, the updater script did it's job, and the phone rebooted to the new rom. I allowed it to settle a minute or two, updated AdAdway and Xposed Installer, tapped to reboot. My phone is up, running, everything is working fine and everything is where it should be. No wiping, no fussing, no hassles, none of that stuff. Just another OTA update that most of us have done over a hundred times. Even the app count upon first boot was accurate.

The entire point of this post is to let you all know that this need not be a major hassle, we have OTA built in and it works just as well as it always did. Michael did not leave out the updater script. The only difference is that we have to put the desired update rom in the cmupdater folder manually since we cannot specify the download server for OTA ourselves.

Note: There will always be exceptions and problems and that is what we are here for. The Help Desk here is always open. :) But before you declare an emergency, try the simple stuff first, please. :fingers-crossed:

Oh, one thing I want to share with you all is the Trim command. I broke down and paid the 99¢ for the scheduled version and it works a treat! I ran a manual trim when I first installed the app and at 4:00 AM this morning, LagFix (fstrim) Premium did it's thing and had the results for me in the status bar. /system is read only but /data and /cache are not and were trimmed appropriately. Nice.

LagFix (fstrim) Free is also available but does not have the schedule feature. 99¢ is not going to kill me and was worth it. There are other apps that can do this and you can do it yourself in a terminal window, but the app makes it pretty simple.

Rom seems really nice, smooth, everything so far works great. Now all that is left is to keep running it and enjoy! HTH :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Krauzaa:
OT, but if someone looking for free equivalent there is an app with schedule feature. Trimmer (fstrim)

And of course i installed our new nightly. Without KISS rule :P But this time everything goes well. Next time i must download rom by computer, not by a phone.

ROM is fast, responsible and reliable. Things like FB app, PowerAmp, or [AD]great GPS app from Poland, AutoMapa[/AD] works great :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kevoroid:
hey, im trying to go back to KK CM11 since CM12.1 is slow and freezing over and over again.

should i install the latest official cm-11-20150202-NIGHTLY-umts_spyder.zip or unofficial cm-11-20150426-UNOFFICIAL-umts_spyder.zip is pretty stable?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Go for the unofficial. The last official builds were not too hot.

i dunno why but after wipe cache/data/system, i cant flash latest unofficial zip (unofficial cm-11-20150426-UNOFFICIAL-umts_spyder.zip)!

should i flash the latest official first then overflash with the new one?

[MENTION=4373587]omid8bimo[/MENTION] you are really going to have to give us a little more information to go on. [MENTION=6303356]Krauzaa[/MENTION] is right, the specific Error Message would be a good start. How about some of this stuff?

Specific Error message when you try flashing.

Did you have a running CM11 system on the phone before this?

Was your CM11 system (If you had one.) on a rom slot, which one? Or on the Stock slot?

If you had a previous CM11 system, what build date was it?

What slot are you trying to install this CM11 rom on, which number slot or stock slot?

What is the complete file name of the rom you want to flash?

What is the complete file name of the gapps package that you are trying to flash?

What version of Safe Strap are you using?

Anything else you would care to share with us? Our crystal ball network is down for the count. :p

Seriously, the only bit of information I can get from your help request are two things:

The model phone you have, XT910

The rom you want to flash, 04/26 UNOFFICIAL

That is not a lot to go one. I seriously doubt that anyone will be able to help you unless you are more forthcoming with information.

Mr. Chen gave us a very good, 10 point detailed instruction set on How to install CM11 to Stock. If that is what you are trying to do, then this might help. You can skip the first 3 if you are past that point already. You give us details, we give you help. That is how the Help Desk works. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Graveyard in here!

My God, it is like a graveyard in here. Nobody is talking, I guess the dead don't talk. At least in anyway that I can hear it! :p

​

Well, anyway, I went ahead and updated to 04/26/2015 UNOFFICIAL the day it was released. That was 5 days ago. I was pretty happy with the 04/12/2015 release. [MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] or "Mr. Chen" had issues on his XT910 with screen staying black too long after pressing the Power button. 4 Hard Buttons on front light up, screen stays dark although it may appear to backlight, the screen itself remains black. I barely noticed this issue, it was so infrequent, fast, and really did not make problems for my phone that I overlooked it as part of the margin of acceptable error for old hardware. But I updated anyway. :confused:

...actually it may have been the previous build that Mr. Chen was talking about, the 04/05/2015 UNOFFICIAL build. At any rate, I have noticed this "Screen stays black, power buttons light, when making a call". Just happened today, I wanted to use my Bluetooth but had no access to the call until it rang itself to voicemail and I could hear it through the phone but not speaker or Bluetooth. I noticed this a few times already on this XT912 04/26 build. Today was the worst. If this continues, i will downgrade back to 04/12/2015. Since no one else it talking, that is what I have to say.

[MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] is this 04/26 build any better for your XT910 or still having black screen issues? For me, it is worse by far on my XT912. This is bad enough for me to revert if this happens one more time of significant annoyance. :mad:

No need to knock the dirt off the top of your coffins, people. I will SHOUT if anything significant happens. Happy Halloween!

​
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
I'm very busy with new servers installation this week. Just upgrade to 0426 last night and not tested with Bluetooth yet. Black screen wake up issue is still there, but I've found it may related with signal change, for example 3G to HSDPA or 3G to WiFi. Phone will lag during the change and no lag in other cases. It need more tests to find out. 0426 is smoother than 0412 in early review, no other issues except black screen for now. I'll report it back if I have time next week. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Halloween? So soon? I guess at this rate.. Lol, it's not something we do here, but the shops like selling Halloween goodies and there are also clubs that end up going with a Halloween theme (but I'm not into that sort of thing).

Anyways, I have been fine so far on 04/26. I really like the 29/03 build and I'm still seeing if 04/26 holds up.

Currently, since it's weekend, I have been playing with CM12 to see how it's doing. I mean it's ok, but I'm still happy with CM11's performance.

Will keep testing 04/26 and let you know if it gives me any problems.

Yes, it has been too quiet, I wanted to pop by and mention my experience with 04/26, but it was so dead quiet that I thought I'd wait to see some life in here first.

Even if i've got a new phone, i'm still sticking around to share my info and experiences on the xt912!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rah_asia:
since its been quiet so i thought i do some post

04/26 is great, no problem at all, except a so very little laggy sometime and sharing internet via bluetooth seems like timed, always disconected (on the client side) after few minutes (cant remember how long), all gapps running find, battery last for about 14h with full day data on, some music, +- 3hr calling n with "greenify-ed" gapps + "amplify-ed" timed gapps wakelock + some others (4/12 was mucb better in battery i think)

everything running great thanx to [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION]. btw is there any changelog for [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] build?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Changelog wise, I think you can just about check any other phone's changelog. It's basically all the cm updates/changes that have been incorporated. Obviously any device-specific changes you see will not be relevant for us. Whether or not stargo has done some changes for our devices, I'm not sure.

Online CM11 Guide Updated

Hello Folks!

Guide: CM11 Performance and Maintenance on XDA Developers​

The popular CM11 Online Guide has been updated today to reflect recent changes such as how to install to stock, correction and update to the GSM patch thanks to [MENTION=5003013]Mentor.37[/MENTION] for the update, Mr. Chen's stock install guide, and the Titanium Backup procedure to restore almost everything you have, the intelligent way thanks to [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION].

Trimmer (fstrim) is now being recommended to trim your sdcard because not only does it do a good job, it also contains an easy to use schedule feature and is totally free!

I am actually running out of character space for the post, I totally removed the "writing to sdcard" issue in cm11 because that has been fixed a long time ago and has no place on the page. This gave me a little more room to get the important stuff included. The downloadable, clickable link pdf file has also been updated so that you can download and save a fresh, up to date version of the guide for offline use. The last update is listed at the top of the page:

UPDATED: Monday, May 11, 2015

I have reached my size limit so now I must concentrate on content. This is MUCH more up to date than previous versions. I will do some more minor updates in the upcoming weeks. e.g.: I want OTA updating method kept on the page with instructions to put your desired update rom in the /sdcard/cmupdater slot and then use OTA as you would have in the past. No need for gapps, it is quick and hassle free! Hope that some of you find it useful and thank you all very much for your contributions. Credits have been extended to those who have since contributed. Goodnight guys! :D
