[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] I did edit this post to clarify and shorten it up quite a bit. I tried a link check on the page but found it blocked on almost all of the links. The servers block robots in general, including link checkers. I love this list and really like the way you did it and appreciate you telling us how and why you did it. Thank you.

That is an awesome method, dude. The list is comprehensive and I will no doubt spend some time checking it out. I notice that you also have links to Dropbox. Gdrive, and Mega Cloud and these are accounts you have to setup and maintain. So this is not merely a collection of URLs, but a massive collection of files as well. You know, one problem with huge link collections is to verify them all as time goes by. Nobody likes to post dead links but with so many to check, what is a fellow to do?

I just tried to lend a hand and run your doc through the best free link checker at W3C and could not do it. Google Docs are all protected by a robots.txt file and you cannot get a reputable link checker to work on it where it is being served. If you have personal web space, you could copy the docs over, make sure they show up as real http docs, and then run it through the Free W3C Link Checker.

This Post has been edited for length and clarity.

I had to edit this post as it became quite lengthly and off topic. I did copy the links to another server to test for bad links. What surprised me is that all but a few are further protected by a robots. txt exclusionary file. I had no idea so many popular Android sites were protected like that. I intentionally put search tags into a few of my XDA posts if it is a guide, important fix, or something else that might help someone in a Google search. The exclusionary robot.txt file would stop the post from showing up in a Google search so what you have, Shadow, is a very valuable collection, my friend. I have since terminated the link checker experiment and have deleted any online testing I have done.

Since the collapes of pa-gapps, it is no surprise to find bad links anywhere on Android now. You have a terrific collection and I enjoy reading it and have it bookmarked. We all appreciate a good reference and this is it. This is good stuff. Thanks again for sharing it! :good:

It's unfortunate when one person has some clarity of vision in making something as awesome as what TKruzze did in his PA-GApps packages and then has to deal with the endless barrel of stupid that somehow manage to not read/do something that most of us consider standard procedure, and gets hit with constant backlash from these folks blaming him, when it's really their own failure. I'm sure there's other reasons, but this is really the most obvious, after stalking his thread for a while. The number of replies of "Read FAQ Post #X" were astounding!

So I decided to try CM11 11/07 nightly.

The last build I tried was 20150202 and almost immediately after getting the system running I noticed some lag (just opening the app drawer). I was not impressed, and then a call came and it was slow to react to it. I stopped right there and continued with AOKP.

Using 11/07 was a much better experience (apart from some occasional exchange services error, which I don't even blame on CM11). It was not laggy like 20150202 (both were fresh installs).

Looking good. I am just concerned about performance degradation over time.

I still am all for AOKP, and its features will be greatly missed on CM11 - but xposed can probably sort most, if not all, out.

The only reason I am trying CM11 again is because I want to feel how the battery performs compared to AOKP. If it's about the same, then I will stick to AOKP.

I also have a ROM-slot with LiquidSmooth on, but I am not entirely convinced.. although not entirely against either.

Daniel, how nice to see you again! So you decided to give CM11 another try, if for nothing else than a battery consumption comparison. Great, it is good to have you back. I have not used AOKP so I am not aware of the features. What is holding me back is lack of card space right now and the fact that even the Kit Kat AOKP development has come to an end, thanks to the end of CM11. I do want to try it though. Between you, [MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION], and several other important members raving about it, I really feel like I am missing out. But I have a plan...

My intentions have always been to move CM11 to stock, now that I know it is possible and not only that, on the stock slot, CM11 can now use the built in fstrim command in Android to keep the sdcard running fast! That option is only available on the stock slot in Safe Strap. CM11 with Xposed modules has more than met my expectations and requirements on several builds. The issue has always been "A final CM11 Build". I was waiting for it to commit my move to stock. Now that CM11 has "Petered Out" and ALL Buillds since November are Final, I can take the one that works best for me and is not lacking for anything. That is the 11/07 Nightly Build.

Ahh, you are having Exchange Mail issues! I learned a long time ago from Sheri and other experienced members that is is okay to uninstall or freeze apps and services, not critical to the phone, with Titanium Backup. And I do recommend this in my online guide. I explicitly mentioned Exchange Services and Email app, along with other non-essential apps, if you do not use them. Things like Apollo, Google Play *anything* such as news, books, movies, music, whatever you do not use. I always Froze them in Titanium Backup because they get reinstalled at every build update when uninstalled. Now that there are not more updates, I can actually uninstall these services and apps when I get my final stock slot filled with cm11. Another reason to Freeze over Uninstall is to give the phone a chance to see if freezing these system services hurts the phone. If so, I can easily thaw them out. There is an Email App that is special for Exchange, get rid of that one too and install the standard Play Store Mail App instead.

For you, use Titanium Backup to Freeze, then Uninstall later if you decide to keep the rom these items:

Exchange Services 4.4.4

Email 4.4.4

I have these two items Frozen for at least 6 months and will Uninstall when cm11 is placed, final, in stock. I did install from the Play Store Email 6.3-1218562. This is the exact replacement for the Exchange Email app you will remove that does not rely on Exchange Services. The look identical and that Email App does ALL of my mail. Gmail, ISP mail, yahoo mail, domain mail, all of them!

Once I get CM11 on Stock, I will then install the last or "best" version of AOKP on my now empty slot 1.

Anyone have a recommendation and better yet, a link to the "best" AOKP rom for me to use?

Thanks for the AOKP feeback. I have enough of it now to be willing to give it a fair shake. :good:

Take care my friend! :)

Wow, that looks pretty good. Isn't this that mod you asked me to try on CM11 and when I did, I could not get past 3G? From what I remember, the menu for it was only available in a Terminal window and it was not a pretty color menu like this. I took it out because there is no way I can keep this phone with only 3G. To get to the menu, you type in "L_Speed" or something like that in the terminal. Is this the same mod? What rom are you running it on, Jack? This does not look like CM11.

For a free front end for fstrim, I was recommending LagFix (fstrim) Free and the cheap pay version allows scheduling. What you got looks really nice but if it ruins cm11, then I cannot use it.

This is it?	[TWEAK][MOD] L SPEED v1.6 REBORN (18.03.2015)

It looks better now, might be worth a revisit. But it would have to cooperate pretty quickly for me to use it. I cannot have my phone damaged for day while trying to figure out how to get 4G back. At least now I have your screen shot showing what options to enable and what to turn off. From what I remember, not all of the things in the mod were good things. Uh, "seeder" I think you were telling me is not good. Interesting, thanks for the screen shot! :good:

Works well with AOKP, cannot say the same for CM11.

Hey [MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION], after your mentioning LS I decided to give it a try once again. This was after flashing AOKP. I have to say, I was really impressed with AOKP.

What has surprised me more is the performance of LS. Really snappy, and I've been unable to find any real glitch as I had mentioned before. Granted I am probably not putting the phone through a DD scenario since I've been following the root exploit thread over on the Turbo side and using it. Not sure they have things all completely ironed out over there.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], 11/7 has been really good as well. When you get the chance to move it to stock you should really give AOKP and LS a test run. I would really look forward to your thoughts on both.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=5709478]tonyt.[/MENTION] & [MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION] thank you very much for the advice, but I have a small problem here. The last AOKP for spyder XT912, Last Updated 2014-11-13 is now a dead link on Mega Cloud. The umts_spyder XT910 link is working, but not the XT912. This rom you guys love so much is fading fast. I would like to snag a copy before it is gone for good. See for yourself:

AOKP[4.4.4][Unofficial][Build from source]

So the last Stable Release Date: 2014-11-09 is no longer available for download to XT912 users. I hear many of you praise this rom, over and over, up, down, and sideways, but I cannot download it. It is a Novemer 9 rom from last year, like CM11 07/09, but apparently, no longer available. Shame, I heard all this great stuff and it just occurred to me to grab it now before it is gone for good. Too late.

Look at the date on this AOKP rom:

Version Information

Status: Nightly

Current Stable Version: AOKP 4.4.4

Stable Release Date: 2014-11-09

Created 2014-10-27

Last Updated 2014-11-13

Build or released on 11/09/2014. And tonyt. builds his roms on top of cm11, meaning that this AOKP rom must be built on or about my favorite, trusty, best rom so far, cm11 11/07! I know that 11/08 was just as good. This rom must be "stellar" and I gotta have it! I just put 2 and 2 together and came up with this information. Now I know why you guys praise this rom so much. It is not only my favorite rom, but has the "unicorn dust" sprinkled over it. Man, this must be a GREAT rom! The fact that is is "old", meaning 4 months does not bother me. CM11 11/07 is the same age and is the best rom so far I have found for a Razr. This is the exact same thing, with the magic dust on top!

Can someone please put up the aokp_spyder_kitkat_unofficial_2014-11-19.zip for me, somewhere? Dropbox, Dgrive, Mega Cloud, anything, I don't care. I will put it on my own Mega Cloud for others who want it. I plan to try it but can't do it without the actual rom. Help me out here guys, now I have to squirrel this rom away. From the reports I have gotten and from what I already know, this rom will go into my rom bank to help other members with cm11. Thank you very much.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I managed to make a backup of my AOKP system. Then I wiped my stock slot which was running PA at the time. I then simply restored the AOKP backup to the stock slot. Worked perfectly, and I am currently still using the same restore with no problems.

You can first try this before going fresh.

CM11 is going OK actually. To really test a ROM you have to use it for a decent amount of time though. Funny thing, when I look at my battery use (through settings) it shows 3hrs40min but it's been off charge just more than 5hrs. Strange.

Hi, [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] what are the changes introduced in this new version?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
I'd imagine it's a build based off of the final merges for CM-11, probably fairly close to the 02/02 build, which wasn't terrible, but wasn't awesome either, only [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] would be able to really confirm 100% though. I'm hoping this build pans out though, or at least Michael comes back around to address any final concerns (should there be any). My real question is for testing, can it be dropped on top of the last official CM11 builds?

If it starts looking solid though, it'll definitely be my stock version very soon!

OK to update over previous build

Yeah, you can update over previous rom. Since you cannot OTA update, you have to do it manually anyway. The Dwillian Dump will get you there.

Have rom and pa-gapps on phone.

Reboot to Safe Strap.

SLOW DOWN HERE AND BE CAREFUL! Wipe System, Cache, and Dalvik Cache ONLY.

Install new rom zip, Add More Zips and add pa-gapps.

Wipe Davlik and Cache again for good measure.

Reboot to system.

I just did this and this rom sure installs nice and feels pretty slick. You do not lose anything this way and by wiping out the System parition, you are essentially throwing the entire, previous system out and are replacing it with the new rom build. You keep your data so you do not lose apps updates and settings.

Point to Make:

Anytime we updated previously, OTA, via the settings menu, an update script takes over Recovery Environment actions. It you think about it, the Dwillian Dump is exactly what the OTA updater script does. It wipes the cache, dalvik, and system partitions. It installs new rom, again may wipe davlik and cache, then, the system reboots. This process is automated but if you pay careful attention the the terminal screen in Safe Strap, you can see everything it does. Albeit, not for long because reboot to system is immediate. You do not lose apps, updates, or settings in an OTA update. And that is exactly what you are going to do in this case, manually. "Dwillian Dump" is simply an easy name to remember this process with. So you can use this same procedure to downgrade or if the need be, install over itself the very same rom. I use it for all of these reasons. When the 02/02 rom got my MMS message stuck in the outbox "sending forever", not even a cache & dalvik wipe would restore it. Only reinstalling the same build over itself got that message released and allowed MMS to send again. Pretty handy tool, this "Dwillian Dump" method. Credit goes to [MENTION=5362796]Dwillian[/MENTION] for being first to outline it on the board.

End Point Made

Michael does not have a Razr phone nor LTE or 4G. He needs test results and that can come from us or if he has dedicated testers out there. I will install, test, and report and I am quite certain that Michael will be looking in here for status reports. Join us and send your own report. Mostly what we need is a "weirdness or quirks" report. How well the rom performs as days go by. If you install and it runs great, and 5 days later it is still running great with no reboots or wipes, chances are you got a "keeper" there, buddy! :highfive:

Hi, I've upgrade to 2015/03/28 version last night, so far so good as 2015/02/02 but not as smooth as 2014/11/07. I think it is 141107 > 150328 > 150202 for smooth. More testing and daily usage are going, will report here next few days. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION]

Excellent Mr. Chen, thank you VERY much! :good:

11/07 set a very high standard to meet or beat. The rule of thumb for updates is "As good or better" than previous rom. I've only had it installed a couple of hours but will know more as days go by. If no quirks or any reason to reboot or wipe show up and the rom continues to run smooth and fast, that would be the standard to reach or beat. I will never get rid of 11/07 but will give this one a fair chance. It is SO nice that you could join me and we can show the thread some results and no doubt Michael will want to know how this rom does on a Razr. You have an XT910 so your input is greatly appreciated. Already on the ball, great job Mr. Chen! :highfive:

Use Latest CM11 Build, 03/29

[MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION]

Hello again Mr. Chen. I did not realize that Michael released not one but 3 new roms! I did email Michael about the quirks we were having and which build so far is the best. He was really nice and explained a LOT of things. He also gave me permission to cite parts of the email to the thread. Much of the quirks I complain about have been addressed in the 03/29 build, stated by Michael. I think that further testing of 03/27 by me is stupid as I am already 2 builds behind. I only have 03/27 on my phone for maybe 20 hours, it is for sure not as slick, fast, or as smooth as 11/07. But it works and is not "terrible". Since Michael did put a LOT into the 03/29 build, this is what I/we should be testing. I will make the jump tonight. I wanted to let you know so that maybe we can coordinate a significant build test together, 03/29.

CM11 UNOFFICIAL Updates can be found here:

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

I have permission to cite some of Michael's email to the thread:

I did BOLD TEXT his advice to update to 03/29. Michael hit the nail on the head. Lag building up since mid November.

I hope that this helps some of the thread members understand what is going on with cm11 for our Razr phones. It sounds like 03/29 is the most developed rom so far and that is what I will test. Mr. Chen will do the XT910 so that we can get complete reports. Others are very welcome to contribute their own reports. Thank you everyone. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] - does this mean that [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] has basically picked up building nightlies on his own for CM11/Omap4 Devices? If so, we ought to buy the man a drink.. heck buy him a few bottles/cases!

I like the read-through of the parts of his email you quoted - Seems like he touched on all the major points. Available memory seems to be at the root of all our issues.... I know its not the best solution, but would a SWAP-file type setup keep things in line for longer if absolutely needed in order to continue functional operation? That or possibly a memory clearing app? I know both of these things can be done (since Windows has both of them either in use or available to install).

I would just like to point out, in counter to his suggestion, using Hangouts does NOT fix the MMS issue, unless i've garbled something in my APNs/Settings personally myself (which I have messed with so would not question if counter-proof were given!).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION]

Of course he will update the rom for his own device. Wouldn't you if you had the ability and this type of work is "what you do anyway"? But that is good for us, OMAP4 code improvements are good for all of our devices and he did not leave us out of the loop.

NO! Do not use memory swapping or cleaning apps! Michael is aware of it and is working on it. Might already be done. I am installing 03/29 now. These apps you mention slow things down and make it worse because now you are throwing MORE apps on the fire. Swap space is WAY more slow than actual electronic RAM. It is a memory management issue, Michael pegged as being since mid-November. Let him do his job and have some faith. :)

Hangouts is not a legitimate SMS or MMS app. It works by Google account, not protocol. You do not even need the other party's phone number to use Hangouts. You cannot send a "text message" to a "phone number" with Hangouts, although the video chat feature in it is pretty good. But Google Messenger IS a great MMS app. Use that if you want. The built in "My SMS" app is inferior. Freeze this app and use a replacement and uninstall this app when you place cm11 in it's final install. 8sms is the professional replacement for it, tiny donation required to remove ads if you want to keep it. :good:

P.S. I don't mean to sound so "instructional" here. This is the only way I know of to give you the best advice I have. HTH. :)
