Just my tinkering, but: the stock motocam from JBX has a setting for "audio scenes" as shown below, which appears to allow customizing the use of microphones! Before you ask, yes, this improved the audio recording, but the app won't allow saving to external storage, even if moved to priv-app...

Interestingly, I was able to take superior still shots with this camera due to the customization options that were at my fingertips, and the camera response time is significantly better than the motoX camera - fewer missed shots!

Any thoughts as to how to allow this app to save to external under 4.4.4? Anyone?

For clarity's sake, let me mention that to the camera app, "front facing" means whichever camera is live.

do you use Xposed Framework? If so, maybe try the Pictures2SD module?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
A little off topic, but just want to know:

Can you guys choose anything higher than 480p in YouTube? Or is that the highest they offer our devices in the app?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
I tried it,no effect on MotCamera.

I've never had a problem with ExtSDCard in any KK rom,TB always allow me to save the backups on external storage,in AirDroid I can copy/paste whatever I want...

I can´t choose higher resolution also,I guess that's maximum for our phones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adistf:
I had the same problem. Youtube app is...let's say bad. I bought Viral Pro few months ago and can play 720p. Let me tell you,it makes a big difference! In quality and in data trafic as well :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Nightlies are lately available when I wake up already. :D Usually the day's nightly was only available to me not long before midnight that evening. Now I wake up and can download the day's nightly - just after 5am :p

Smilies!

:thumbup: ;) :) :thumbup:

Thanks!

Hey guys, If a soft reboot fixes an audio issue I'm having, that's a software issue and not hardware, right? does everyone agree?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Yes, in the audio-blob.

Disable "OK Google" detection "From any screen". The JB audio-blob just can't handle it.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Thank you! No one has replied to my pleas for help for the last two months. I assume because I was the only one having the issue haha guess I had to simplify the post. Problem began around the time I checked off "From any screen" just didn't realize it. Thanks Michael. Take care man.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
So I installed 09/11 and I have APN problems again. Nothing will send... Not getting an error message, it just sits there saying sending. Maybe it's verizon?? Anyone else?

EDIT: Went back to 9/10 and I dont have the problem anymore. Think something is weird with 9/11.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
Are you spelling conspiracy? :silly:

Just kidding. Sorry, was too easy to let it slip.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Lol, 9/11 ;) haha

You know, as I wrote that I thought someone would make a comment! :p But it's true. I tested it on two phones, same result. I'm back on 9/10 but my battery seems to be draining faster now. I just dirty flashed 09/10 over 09/11. Might have to just start clean.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
As stargo pointed out on the last page, just be sure NOT to use the "okay google" "from any page". The JB kernel can't handle it. Caused an array of audio issues for me for the last two months and that little check mark was the root of it all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Isn't that for stock roms? We do not use the JB kernel in cm11.

Yes, in the audio-blob.

Disable "OK Google" detection "From any screen". The JB audio-blob just can't handle it.

I have been using it from any screen and have not had any problems with it. I really like this a lot. Once I get an idea of all the commands I can use, this can be as good as Siri. Although talking commands to the phone in general is kind of stupid. It does take longer than just tapping. But for driving, it works pretty darned good. :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Yep, I tried resetting all the settings several times. Text would send, but MMS just sits there and never sends. They made a couple of changes to APN in 9/11. Looks like 9/12 will have a potential fix?? http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/72800/ I have no idea what it means, but maybe it will fix the problem that I am having... :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Lol [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I love it when you discover things.. But OK Google has been around since I moved to CM11 in February - albeit you had to use Google Now Launcher (other launchers support it now like Nova Launcher *?Prime?*).

OK Ohmster now "OK Google: What is (celebrity name)'s Bacon number?" ...lol

I purchased the Flux theme - was very sceptical paying for a theme, but it was worth it. And I purchased it before the new mix-n-match theme engine was up and running - and it has been updated nicely.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You know what I just did? I really didn't like the black screens returning so I went to Settings/Cyanogen Updates, and just tapped 09/10 and "updated" to it from 09/11. Worked like a charm. :victory:

When you do an update, it wipes the system directory but keeps your data so, unless you downgrade to something that is *very* much different, you can do this anytime you want. I would normally have restored a backup, but I see I had not backed up since 09/03 and I found a lot of cool themes and setup my desktop really nice. I did not want to give all that up and then have to "go find it all again". So, I used the OTA updater to "update" back down to 09/10. Give it a try, it beats having a crappy phone and then stuck waiting for a decent update to come along and "fix it" again. ;)

...ya know, every time you get APN issues and things like that, I get black screens and orange bars. I was getting orange bars and I use the mic all the time to send text messages because I hate pecking on that tiny screen keyboard. Then it stops in mid message and tells me "Cannot reach Google at the moment, try again later". Strange. But "upgrading" back to 09/10 made the phone nice again, AND, I get to keep my neat themes and layouts.

For [MENTION=240993]casper[/MENTION], Google Now works fine with Trebuchet, I switched back to it from Apex Pro quite a while back, even though Apex is paid for. :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
Do you use hangouts for text and mms?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I don't know the specifics but from what I recall Motorola never released the kernel, or something like that, maybe something to do with the bootloader still locked, and so CM and other kernels use the base provided by the stock ROM, Jelly Bean, for running our phones on custom Roms. I realize this is extremely vague but im 90% sure theres some truth to what I'm saying. We may have the latest android version, but were still running software well ahead of our phones and is restricted to the stock ROM tech.

I'm jealous your okay google from any screen works. Mine caused audio to stop working. As soon as I switched it off, as stargo said to, everything was fixed and returned to normal. Thank the lord for that man.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
No, just the regular messaging app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
I updated to 9/12. Same issue as 9/11. It won't send MMS with stock messaging app. The verizon APN file is correct, but one of the changes in the 9/11 nightly is affecting the MMS function for Verizon. Again, tested on two phones and I tried resetting to default as well as installing via recovery rather than updating via CM updater. No dice. I'm back on 9/10. Anyone figure out a way to send MMS on the new nightly?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abbas-h:
vibration issue

hi

my vibrate wont work at all

how fix this issue ?

CM11 Snapshot 9 and later
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Some things to check and try.

Check quiet hours? Make sure they're not on with haptic feedback disabled.

Make sure vibrate on touch under sound settings is checked.

Wipe dalvik cache, cache, and android secure in recovery.

Fix permissions in recovery.

If none of those work start with a clean flash. Otherwise it sounds like a hardware issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abbas-h:
dont work ...

i`m sure this is software issue ... in another rom vibration work ...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
This is interesting, check the APN's from the Hangouts settings, Verizon is not an option, mine shows several Sprint and Metro PCS, The metro PCS is selected, I trieda dding a Verizon APN and it would not save. If i check the APN's in CM settings I have the usual 6-7 Verizon APN's.

Hmmmm
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
The last update I did had no APNs listed in hangouts and wouldn't send MMS, I don't remember the date. I updated again to 9/5 and have what you describe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I can confirm that APNs are screwed up for MMS verizon is missing and I cannot send MMS and probably can't receive either.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
I just changed my last post to correct my build date. On 9/5 I can send MMS with the Sprint/PCS APN.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Interesting. I don't use hangouts. In fact, I have it frozen. So the only place that I see the APNs are in the CM settings. They appear to be correct there in 9/11 and 9/12, but MMS won't send.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
You should unthaw it, and install v2.3 plus the dialer. You can now call ANY number for free using your GV number.

This only applies to the US and Canada.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Odd, but no surprise, Cory. Poor 2¢ gets connectivity issues while most of us have good signal. I get black screens when others don't. Strange how the same device with the same software can act so differently. It may not be permanent for you you my friend. If you care about it, try tuning it back on next update and see if it still kills your audio. When my Bluetooth receiver comes for the car, I will use it a lot more and tell how it works out. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
You can fix the MMS/APN issue by using an apns-config.xml that are posted everywhere in this thread. Either flash a zip or do it manually and reboot. Worked for me hopefully they can fix the APN issues once and for all soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Haha. I thought they finally did fix it "once and for all" about 10 days ago... :p All the APN stuff added over the last couple of days for every other carrier must be messing with our Verizon APN. I mean, they even added a Walmart APN for crying out load. Do they have a network now too? I don't know how it all works, but I know that it currently doesn't work for us Verizon users! :silly:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hah, hah! Walmart? For real? :p

I took the 09/12 OTA update. So far, fine. But the real test is when I go to bed and leave the phone on charge all night. Then when I take it off charge, I got a million notifications in the notification bar, phone is slow as hell, black screens come back, and then I have to reboot to "clear it out". Only had 9/12 in for about 5 hours, it is running good. No MMS, signal, or other issues. Will find out tomorrow if this really is good or not. Be sure you let you know! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Totally OFF-TOPIC, but FUN!

Way OFF-TOPIC. Read, Lean, Enjoy, or Move On Please!​

One thing that is on topic is that I installed 9/13 last night and it runs really well. No connection or signal problems. No MMS problems (I use Go SMS Pro, free.), and so far, no black screens! :fingers-crossed:

I don't know about you, but I get stressed, a LOT. So for me, killing monsters is always fun and takes the stress right off. No, not some high tech, long to load, super advance shooter, but a really good, fast to load, play, save, and quit. If you have kids or grand kids, this will be a smash hit! What am I talking about?

[IMG="ZSoomGL"]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080630083507/doom/images/4/4b/Doom-1-.gif[/IMG]

Why DOOM, of course! The original, but updated for modern computers. Not the game itself or the graphics, other than you can go very high resolution. Controls and everything else is up to date for a modern computer. AND, it plays great on older computers too! The new game engine is called ZDoomGL and of course, the graphics are smashing because it does use OpenGL and is quite spectacular. The game is amazingly fast as the game itself was written for SX386 and up computers. The game engine is free and is only a 2.3Mb download.

Download ZDoomGL and install it. You can also download the game engine in a zip file that can be unzipped to an empty folder, place your game wad files in the new folder or in the game folder if you install it. That's it. Play! But explore the options. I am sure you will want to adjust the video and at least check the keyboard layout or customize it. Default is like any other FPS game, moment is W A S D. You also get fly, look up and down, and some other controls because the ZDoomGL game engine works for all of the Doom series plus Hexen, Heretic, and I am not sure what else.

So, install the game and put your wad file(s) in the game directory. The shareware Doom wad file is free, find it on the net, the retail games with all the levels you must use from the commercial game. I use:

DOOM.WAD

Doom2.wad

ICARUS.WAD

Plutonia.wad

I do not have the Hexen or Heretic games. Lost them a long time ago but played them all. Many, many times and enjoyed every minute of it! :cyclops:

If you need help finding the game files, PM me for help, I have made a nice little package for you. The zip file is if you do not want to install it and just run it from an empty folder and the msi file is the installer. Everything you need to be up and playing in all of 5 minutes. Sorry about the off topic post, but hey, we all have to live, need to de-stress, and just have some fun! :D

Again, Off Topic! Please don't kill me. This is just for fun. If you don't have time or the inkling for fun, please move on!

Thank you.

9/12 and 9/13 aren't working so well for me. I'm getting terrible battery life. While navigating on 9/12 my phone used up nearly all the battery and it was on the charger! I'm also experiencing random reboots again (usually while navigating). The phone is also sluggish with quite a lot of lag.

I put 9/13 on late last night hoping to fix the problem, but I've lost 12% battery already and I haven't had the phone off the charger for even an hour.

I think the last "good" nightly was 9/10 so I'm going to try and flash back to that. Not sure what's going on with CM development, but it seems we have taken some big steps backwards with all the recent changes. I'm suspecting that some of the good work that was done to help our phones may have been lost or overwritten with the recent updates. Hopefully things will be fixed again soon, but I think I'm going to sit this one out and wait for good reports before I flash any new nightlies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crackerjack1957:
I agree, tried all updates after 9/10 & always end up back on 10.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
Recent nightly builds and safe strap

I also feel that the recent nightly builds seem to be getting buggy again and I have reverted to my 8-27-14 SS backup a couple times over the past week.

And as far as Safestrap goes, for me it seems that the SD card is not being mounted. It would not appear in my file managers and I could not access the contents from the ROM but it would appear in the stock ROM and on my PC. Sometimes reinserting the SDCard would work. I eventually wiped the slots and reinstalled SS then recreated the slots and it appears to be working fine again.

I don't know the reason why or if this is related but CM11 has been updating the 'CM Recovery' lately so perhaps that is affecting the Safestrap recovery?

PS: I am also having trouble with MMS messages again in the recent night lies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I first made those zip files like back in April when cm broke APNs. since then I haven't had a problem on cm, although several other ROMs I tried wouldn't work reliably for me no matter what I did; the best I could get was they needed frequent cache clearing and reboot. I even restored stock and took the spring OTA for the sake of the updated radio and APNs.

Now I'm on 9/10 and suddenly trying to send an MMS will fail with your favorite message, "No APN specified on device". Swapping APNs files, editing APNs, checking network settings; nothing prevents it - but a simple reboot with no wipes restores it - for a while. I even used the APN Backup and Restore route to first replace, then merge the files... Now, like you, I seem to be waiting for the CDMA geniuses to do their part to CM11. Obviously, if the same APN list works for stock, but not for cm11, the problem ain't the file!

Interestingly, while doing comparisons, I found that AB&R only modifies the files stored in /data and leaves untouched the files installed with the ROM in /system. This means two things:

1. You can easily revert all changes simply by going to Settings-Mobile networks-Access point names and selecting "Reset to default".

2. The changes you make will survive any update process that does not wipe data.

The only drawback is the tomfoolery required to make it a system app and move it to /system/priv-app on the KitKat side. FYI: Root Explorer failed to move the file for some unknown reason, but the CM11 File Manager running in root mode had no problem. Go figure!

[MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION]. You're right, you've had a nice fix available for a long time. And it has been very helpful! I was referring to the fact that CM finally put the fix in the rom, but just a few builds later its got problems again... I haven't tried your fix with 9/12 or 9/13 because i have just been reverting to 9/10 since the battery life is better too.

On any of the builds (even those when I applied your fix) I would sometimes get no APN. Its been a lot more rare, but still a problem. I would reset APN and reboot (no wiping) and it would start working again. A small pain the butt, but not a deal breaker. I'm not an expert in this stuff, I just know that its not working quite right and I hope someone like you or the CM team can find a permanent solution. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Can't help with MMS, I never have issues with it and now I have bigger problems.

There is little information on what Safe Strap is now doing but one post hit the nail right on the head. This one, although the answer is vague and I need help from Hashcode. [MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION] is supposed to be his friend, I wonder if I can get him to send a Safe Strap log to him for analysis. Read the #1 post in this thread, it is exactly what Safe Strap is doing. :(

[RESOLVED] Safestrap v3.11 Backup Suddenly Fails to Create Backup

Thanks for listening, hope that Hughes is watching and can maybe reach his friend for me. :fingers-crossed:

EDIT:

The recovery.log file is what Hashcode would need in order to find out what is making Safe Strap failing to create backups. I have attached the file and renamed recovery.log to recovery.txt so that it would upload. It is a text file so it does not make a difference. Man, I really need my Safe Strap back! :crying:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Well, let me wind up on this one, ( swing batta batta swing...

It appears that the OP of the thread you mentioned had a corrupted SafeStrap recovery image, that can sometimes happen; that being said, his attempted resolution of reinstalling recovery from the SafeStrap app was sound. However, version 3.11 wasn't good at that when you were trying to do it from a virtual slot!

He finally achieved success when he booted to the stock slot, opened the SafeStrap app, removed then reinstalled recovery. These are the crucial steps...

It is to my knowledge completely safe to reinstall the recovery from SafeStrap, doing so will not endanger your slots and I have done it at least twice. Since 3.xx, the slot format hasn't changed. Please try this first, then if you still have problems, you can send me your log. Unfortunately, Hashcode has left the building, he now has a very demanding full-time job and has had to lay his beloved hobby aside.

Let me know your results.

Quick try: while your 64 gig is out, delete any TWRP folder you have on internal and attempt a backup there (hopefully you have enough room). If not, rename the TWRP folder on your card and try a backup there, which will force it to create a new folder. I'm betting that's the folder that's corrupt. If so, copy the contents of the renamed folder to your new TWRP folder and it should be alright. I've seen folder permissions get mangled like that.
