Did a dirty flash over dhacker's build, running fine with PA Gapps and JBX for 4.4.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eighthourblink:
The download link works, it just has a typo. Instead of it saying hhtp:....make it say HTTP and the download link should work
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ins5736:
Yes, I know. However, the typo should be corrected in the OP.

OG RAZR XT912 got 4.4 before S4!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brosso:
With JBX i get BLACK screen WITHOUT it i get BOOTLOOT with the cyanogen logo... Re-downloaded everything wiped everythithing (but internal storage, safestrap wont let me).... No idea what to do anymore. Maybe its not meant for STOCK SLOT yet?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ivan11235:
BMM slot#2 cm11 4.4.1

Backup&reset ok!

1% battery is ok without additional software!

screenshot is ok!

Was hoping this newest official build would have fixed the WiFi access point. Still turns on, other devices can see it, although the other devices can not connect to it. Can anyone else confirm this? So happy its official now though!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] meilbox:
@up

yep it doesnt work (device can see the network but cant connect)... probably its related to wifi mac adress which is missing... since the first cm11 build...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dabanhfreak:
I have network running well on both 2.4gHz and 5gHz wifi. It takes a few reboots for it to activate. Wifi connection problems on XT910 have always been around but it always connects eventually. No technical explanation why this is the case
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Haven't gotten a chance to go home and try out the wifi but we're talking about the WiFi Access Point (Hot-Spot) not working. I dont think many people use it so it probably goes under the radar a lot. I need it for work every day so I'll need to wait for a fix before i use it as my daily driver.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZiViTi_13:
Thanks СМ for work to this device, it is nice when there are people who are able to spend time for us.

All work, I dont't test everything but camera work, video in 720p, screenshot work.

I have question: why you use ART mod, what it give? Or you test it? I read sites, it writes that system works faster, that's why you use it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jcmeyer26:
Does 3g work and wireless tether for xt912?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
I am running this new build I am asking for some clarifications here though:

1) Do we need to alter the APN's on this build? I read one comment that says replace the APNS.conf.xml file and then I read that they have fixed the APNs.

2) Will the new JBX file work on this?

3) Also I have read before that we might want to remove the cellbroadcastreceiver.apk. Is this so?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
You know Ohmster, I hear you say that some roms have bad lag. True. Some worse than others, yes.

But all in all, my experience has been that every single ROM has lag issues that are not actually bearable. Somewhere along the line they'll appear. Back on M9 I had a very decent experience. Little to no lag... But then maybe 2-3 weeks in - sudden, noticeable lag. Cleared cache and dalvik and seemed to help, but it reappeared within a week.

Now, I also don't agree with the clearing of cache being a solution - it isn't! Also, I'm not at all opposed to the idea that cache is not always the culprit.. Some lag presents itself early on - within a few hours. And I can't blame cache in such instances.

So far it happens randomly; as you all, I cannot pinpoint any particular event that triggers lag. :confused:

It's good to know that we are out to squash this together.

Wait a minute, let me put on my bullet-proof vest (and peril-sensitive sunglasses), OK, I'm ready to say my piece now:

I'm running cm10/16, and have NO lag issues (but it wasn't always so).

I tested LiquidSmooth 9/29 for a couple of weeks and had NO lag issues with it (even though it didn't start out that way).

What did I do? About two days into each ROM, when the screen started waking up slow on incoming calls and tapping an app made me want to start twiddling my thumbs... I DISABLED XPOSED FRAMEWORK! I don't know if it was just a module, or the framework itself, but I submit that as cm11 code evolves, it may/may not play well with a tweak that involves hooking into the very system ui.

For reference and discussion purposes, these are the modules I was using:

xposed has some sort of a problem I felt it also. Not only on CM or LS also on stock rom I could clearly see it that system was pretty slow when xposed was installed. I disabled it and the tweaks which eject itself into the Sytem UI or else, than it was snappy as hell again.

Two new nightlies for the umts_spyder: 10/24 and 10/25, and exporting phone-only contacts finally works with 10/25! I backed up 10/24 after running it for a day, and just installed 10/25 via CM Updater. No new problems so far.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Majkus_:
Hey guys. I've got a massive issue with the orange bars. Happens randomly through the day, Gplay is totally lagged, so does the phone. Sometimes reboot does help, sometimes not. Do you have any solution for this? It really bothers me..

I'm running M11 snapshot.

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
The Snapshots are nothing special. All CM11 builds are beta software. Nightly builds come out almost every night so there are a lot of them. CyanogenMod picks one Nightly build per month and calls it a "Snapshot" in order to take official bug reports on it, that is all. The snapshot builds are always outdated because they get old, fast. The new Nightlies are what we use in here and if you are lucky, someone will report on a recent build and tell if it is good, has problems, or anything special to know about it. I am on Nightly build 10/23 and it is very, very good. The post above yours reports builds 10/24 and 10/25 to be good, so far.

Your Snapshot build is old. There have been many improvements since then. I strongly suggest that you update to a newer Nightly build, one that is reported good. I can tell you with absolute certainty that nightly build 10/23 is a very good build. The later builds are also reported as good, although it takes at least a full day to confirm this. Many problems like you are experiencing don't show problems until hours later or the next day.

Go to the download page and update your build to a recent Nightly build. HTH :good:

If you need help in how to update, ask for help. Be a good member and always report if you issue has been resolved. Be kind and tap the Thanks button on the post you found helpful. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I took the 10/25 update on your word and yes, so far it is very good. Will know for sure in a day or two. Thanks Allen. :D

Thanks given for your most appreciated build report. Keep them coming, please. One thing of note. Many updates appear to be "The Cat's Pajamas" when initially installed. But after several hours or the next day, issues can develop like screen lag, orange icons, etc. If you find these issues on a build you gave a thumbs up, please followup with a 2nd post revealing what you found out later on.

What you are doing with build reports is a staple of the group and are very necessary. If I could give you a "Double Thanks", I would. Keep up the nice work, buddy! :)

[MENTION=3687397]parser[/MENTION] did you disable the entire Xposed Framework or individual modules? CM11 is a full feature rom and is made to have dependable features like OTA updates and full Xposed Framework support. The framework itself does very little, if anything to affect performance of the device. But the modules are a different story. There is no "Centralized Xposed Module" distribution and QC testing prior to releasing the modules. Some are done by very experienced and renowned developers with 4K+ post and more Thanks they they have posts. Others are developed by kids in high school. Any module can be a great asset or a terrible load on the system or worse, crash the system.

I don't have lag now to test this theory, but when I do, I will likely disable Xposed to check performance. Then, if proven, disable all modules and restore them one at a time to see which, if any, are harmful to the system.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Good News

[MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION] and I are talking in the Q&A Thread about the Xposed Modules and troubleshooting. I am a little "long winded" but Brian Hughes got the gist of it. He only uses 4 Xposed Modules. After consideration, he will remove 2 of them that could load down system, GravityBox [KK] and will also remove Enable BatteryStats Permission - XPosed Module because that is really not an essential module. This leaves Greenify Experimental and ClockColorChanger.

With only 2 Xposed Modules and the Xposed Framework, he has a LOT less items to disable and check when lag or issues occur. That will help a lot to see if Xposed or some of the modules are aggravating the rom performance condition on certain roms. Will keep you all informed if we come up with something. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
Two days in 1024, working nice so far. No lags but Swarm giving 5-8 sec of black screen before starting.

Using stock config on kernel (1024 read ahead, cfq)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
That's excellent news. Collaboration with Xposed team will surely bring many enhancements to both worlds. In fact, the severe lag issue I commented before ends with UI crashing and restarting.

Currently I use these modules: App Settings, Greenify, CrappaLinks, Buttered Toast, Lion Tamer and Heads Up Notofications.

As I said, no issues so far on 1024.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Did you charging when it happens? I've noticed charging may cause touch error. Disconnect usb can solve this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
[MENTION=3209035]farangcm[/MENTION], I blame one aftermarket charger I have, because I have no problems using the original. I'm betting it's RFI from the switching power supply. My son had a cheap replacement notebook power supply and I couldn't use my droid touch screen within three feet of it!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well, we are not developers so we cannot actually "collaborate" with the development team. But we can do our own research to try and find out what works best for our own devices. CM11 works really well with more modern devices. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 10.1 and never had an issue with any cm11 build or any Xposed Modules. The Droid is "an old dog" and the source code for the inner workings of the device hardware are not made available to the developers. So we get "piecemeal code" for our phones to work around this issue, like with the audio blob wrapper.

Since some cm11 builds have no issues at all, but many do, it may not be only due to "bad modules". Xposed Modules have great access to core system functions and can do a lot of damage if poorly coded or over zealous in nature. Best advice I can give right now and what myself and others are doing is to reduce the modules that impact the system most and that you can live without. I already dumped CrappaLinks and never noticed a difference, it simply wasn't worth it.

Most of your modules are pretty harmless but some, like the Lion Tamer have a serious grip on the system. Unless you are plagued with serious battery issues, I would uncheck that module and eventually delete it. You can put stuff to sleep with Greenify and most of us use and depend on it. Wakelock Detector can help you find out what apps and services keep waking up your phone and use a lot of battery and Greenify can put these items to sleep. I use App Settings myself to keep the Maps screen lit when in use. The "Toast stuff" looks pretty harmless but if you can live without them, take them out or consolidate them into one module that does what you want.

If you are having serious battery issues, here are a couple of great links explaining Wakelock Detector and Greenify:

[GUIDE] Wakelock Detector: How to read, interpret, and optimize wakelocks

can someone explain this wakelock detector to me?

Before go to great lengths with this, wait until you have crash problems, disable the Xposed Framework or all the modules by unchecking them, and see if it improves. If not, the Xposed Modules are not your issue. Report anything you find. We will continue to work on it but for now, the cm11 builds are very good and there is nothing to "test for". Xposed Framework and Modules are here to stay, they are not whimsical apps to try out, although some of the modules may very well be. Just use good judgement and don't use modules you don't really need, especially the ones with deep roots that control the system. We will figure it out, mostly poor modules in concert with a bad cm11 build so far as I can tell. Thanks Meneldur! :good:

That could cause it for sure but I only have real Verizon chargers for my phone. Like Brian said, RFI from a cheap switching power supply can also freak out the touch screen.

Good tip, Mr. Chen. By the way, I really like your new avatar. Makes you look like a serious and dedicated student. :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] farangcm:
Thanks for the tips, but in this case I wasn't charging the phone, and I am using the original Motorola charger. I updated to 10/26 nightly and have a different screen problem. I like to read ebooks at night and with FBReader you can swipe up or down the left margin to increase or decrease brightness, respectively. With the 10/26 nightly, I cannot adjust the brightness while reading. I even dramatically increased the left margin to no avail.

And the Contacts export is only working from the People app; it is still not working from the phone app.

Allen
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Allen,

I do hope that you understand that you are running beta software on your device. CM11 is not nor has ever been "officially stable". Nightly build releases occur almost every night. Some are very good, some bad, and some "break things that used to work" because of some change in the system and these developers "have no crystal ball" to know everything that might or could happen as a result of an update. If something breaks, they will know about it soon enough. We have a LOT of developers visiting this thread to get a handle on the current build, but they have no time to "chat with us", or at least not most of them.

I am on 10/25 and you are right. Contacts app does export contacts, dialer app has same feature and menu and does not work. So what? This is minor stuff, get your contacts from the People app for right now or go online and export them from gmail. It will be addressed soon enough but in no way diminishes the rom right now.

Facebook Reader I cannot tell you about. I have Kindle and do not even use that much. But we all have Safe Strap and most of us backup our really good working builds before updating to something unknown. If your FB reader breaks, restore yesterday's backup and sit on it until a new build comes along where your FB reader does work. It can also be an update to the reader app itself if you allow automatic updates. I cannot tell you how many Google Maps updates just plain sucked and I restored older versions of it.

If you are simply reporting these issues, thank you.

If you are upset and want them to work like they did, restore your app from Titanium Backup or better yet, your rom from Safe Strap. If you do not make Safe Strap backups, now would be a pretty good time to start doing it, doncha think? :confused:

Cheers,

Paul

So it's Monday..

I often don't check the forums much on weekends (and it's not even like I'm very busy), but I enjoy hearing the news on Mondays.

Thank you all!

So, just a little on lag. I really don't know if it's Xposed. From what I can take, we are experiencing the same type of lag from time to time:

- Slow wakeup - the pits - really hate this. Apps open/respond slowly - sometimes just needs time to get going again (I often try clearing recent apps - a feeble attempt I know).

- Just simple lag, even if wake up went well.

- Making/receiving calls is delayed - annoying.

And all of this without Xposed.

I'm not saying this lag is guaranteed all of the time - but we still see it often enough to ask questions.

Now, since I don't use xposed - I'm feeling particularly in the mood for fiddling once again.. Are you using xposed on the CM kernel? Those colourful icons on [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] 's status bar are calling me..lol, just for some fun I guess - my theme does theme the status bar icons, but not in colour.

Also, how does it work with a CM update? I recall reading something, like you must reinstall your modules or the whole framework and/or modules? Need to know if I'm really prepared to fiddle.

Damn, but do I need to update. I am still on 10/15 or 13 or 17. Gosh, I don't even remember.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
I can confirm this. I bought an aftermarket charger after one of them died. Since cheap electronic stuff enter my country, there're a lot of “brands”. I had to return it for weird digitizer behaviour.

I think not only RFI is to blame. Cheap chargers could have dirty signal (high ripple) and that may induce strange things.

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

I agree and know all you say. :D

We end users can make an interesting synergy with developers since feedback is essential (I'm sure you know this since you are a top collaborator).

I like CrappaLinks and its mission. I don't think it's making strides inside. I have Greenify since almost a year, pro version. It's a diamond. However sometimes I had issues with reduced functionality, apps that didn't wake up despite receiving push notifications and allowing these to wake apps. However I use it since installation time, and I'm aware even Greenify can introduce some problems despite it's a mature project.

With Lion Tamer I found I can control wakelocks and alarms without breaking the app, simply telling it not to bother the phone every 10 seconds, he he.

Anyway, I found that Greenifying and Lion-Tamering I have +100% extra battery duration. I have to replace the battery, though, since it shows sudden drops of 9-12% every cycle.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Decon1:
Ya know....I don't think I have lag. Yes I do think some of what we define as lag or no-lag is perception and expectations meaning that my expectation of app speed may be less than or greater than yours. I am back and forth with Xposed and Greenify but the one thing that remains consistent is NOVA launcher. I have used it exclusively for a very long time and through several Rooted phones. Regardless of what I am running LS, Carbon, Slim, Axxion or CM I don't think they lag. You guys might try Nova just to see? Yes I have do and have tried many other launchers. I really like Smart Launcher. So...Launcher Lag, App Lag or ROM lag?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Hmm. Nova is my favourite launcher. +1

You might want to try ClickUI icons with it (especially with the Flux CM11/PA theme) - or any of his other icon packs... Fun, fun, fun.

Just wish Nova'd review the widgets section already.

Yes, Nova is consistent and no culprit at all.

I think it's just down to general sluggishness that we so experience from time to time. Ohmster would always mention it occurring during waking the phone. I never really took note of when it occured myself. But, I also noticed it happening after a wake up now. But it's not often and so we tend to ignore it as it's really just a minor irritation for the most part.

But if you have no lag...I envy you. Nah.

If I'm honest I can be presented with lag once in two days... it's not consistent really. I think it's more a matter of rather getting rid of it than leaving it idle at the end of the day.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
LOL! Focused on eating, now that is my kind of job! :laugh:

I know electronics and short answer is, use the charger that is made for and comes with the phone, they are matched.

Long Answer: Current in Amperes (I) is determined by resistance in Ohms x Electromotive Force in Volts. E=IR

If the charger puts out 5 volts and the phone battery has dropped to 4.1 ohms, there will be more current flow than when the battery tops out at 5.1 volts when it is full. I cannot calculate the actual amperes in this example without conducting an experiment. You cannot directly measure the resistance of the battery in this case because is is "live". We would need to measure the voltage across the battery and multiply it by the DC current in the circuit to find that out "the resistance of the battery", which will increase as it charges up to the supplied voltage.

I cannot do the entire electronics lesson in a single post, but I simplified it as much as I could. Since it is difficult or damaging to try and insert an voltmeter into the charger cord or micro USB plug, I will use 5.1 volts for this example. It could be 3.3 volts for all I know, but I doubt it. Point is, simple chargers are set to deliver the maximum voltage that the battery can safely contain and at that point, charging stops. "Smart Chargers" actually measure the current and will increase the charging current initially and measure the current to ramp it down as the device charges up, until it trickles and stops. These are "Fast Chargers" and work pretty well if you have one made for this phone.

Brian mentioned switching power supplies or SMPS. These are active circuits with transistors, resistors, an IC, capacitors, and a powdered metal transformer that typically runs at 100MHz. That transformer wailing away at 100MHz generates a LOT of RFI unless very well shielded. They are very efficient but not "micro" small. I don't think one could fit into the tiny charger box we use for the phone but laptops use this type of power supply all the time and that is ALL that is used in desktop PCs. There is nothing better because they are very efficient.

Now if you take a charger from a larger, more powerful phone or device and the micro power plug fits, then you can overcharge the device or charge it too quickly, causing it to heat up and shorten it's life. I do not know the exact charging current rate nor exact charging voltage for a Droid Razr but I could look it up or get out my meters and pierce the charging cord to find out. And I really don't want to do that right now. :D

I do have in my hand an original data cable charger and a new cheapie that came with the rebuilt phone. They both work extremely well. Cheapie Charger is 5.0V @ 650mA and the good USB Data Cable charger is 5.0V @ 700mA. A 1 amp charger would work but you are pushing it a bit and a 2 amp charger would NOT be a good idea, AT ALL.
