Installed 07/29

Installed 07/29 tonight and the rom is exactly the same so far as 07/27. I was hoping to see changes to the phone app as per the changelog:

Make incoming call screen style configurable. (2/3) (android_packages_apps_InCallUI)

Make incoming call screen style configurable (1/3) (android_frameworks_base)

Make incoming call screen style configurable (3/3) (android_packages_services_Telephony)

But if there are any changes, I cannot find them. At least not right away. No new menu items or anything new or different. Perhaps these changes are in the theme engine. I am running Apex so I do not know.

This rom is stable, locks right in, and performs well so far that it is "the same as 07/27". If anything shows up in this rom I will be sure to notify the group, but it appears to be safe and the next step in the upgrade process. Goodnight Guys. ;)

NOTE:

Just because I cannot find anything different with the telephone UI, it doesn't mean there are no differences. Brian Hughes is pretty good at finding things that I may have overlooked. Perhaps we can get him to cross check the rom to see if there is anything I missed.

I did see an option to have full screen picture during incoming call or classic. Idk if that was there before but that's what I saw on 7-29.

I would love to be able to change the answer-ignore buttons without a third party app
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Really? I would like to see that. Agreed that it is not much of a customization but maybe if I see it, I can tell if it was there before. Where did you see the full screen option, suprkain?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

About mass storage mode, I've used it few times last week and no problem at all.

I've formatted my SD to exFAT for >4GB file but you must transfer files in mass storage mode.

Here is my steps for using UMS mode, perhaps you can try.

1. Select UMS mode from Settings -> Storage -> 3 dot menu.

2. Connect USB to Windows, phone will show a notification for warning. You can't see SD from Windows yet.

3. Tap "Enable UMS mode" to umount SD form phone and you can access SD from Windows now.

4. Using EJECT/REMOVE function to safely umount from Windows

5. Tap "Disable UMS mode" from phone. Make sure SD card is mounted again.

(There will be a short message in notification bar to tell you that "mounting SD card". )

6. Disconnect USB from PC, phone works like usual and no reboot.

7. Re-select "MTP mode" from settings.

I'm used to umount SD card from Windows before unplug USB cable.

Unplug USB w/o umount from Windows may causing problem to android.

Mine is XT910 but hardware should be the same for SD card.

07/27 working nicely so far.

I just cannot for the life of me figure out why dock doesn't work anymore. If I put the phone in the dock (not a car dock) and connect the charger it charges. If I connect the dock's HDMI out into my TV, the phone comes up on the TV screen. But why will the phone not reorientate itself once it is docked? It used to even with auto-rotate disabled.

I test using daydream. I set it to daydream when docked and it does not daydream. If set to daydream when charging it works.

I don't use daydream but it should work when docked (it used to).

Please can others test this and let me know, or help me know where to start looking.

Thanks for your praise Ohmster; you are really motivating others to participate this way. ;)

Be careful when you install JBX the option to disable HDMI isn't checked, dtrail1 does that as a power-saving method.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks suprkain, I found it. Man, if this is customization, it sure is lame. I don't know what is with the changelog saying there will be customizations for the phone UI. Maybe they are just laying the framework for it. If I remember correctly, that theme engine took forever to finally implement. They had to lay the framework and put in all the stuff. Then test it and it was a bust, and over a month later, it works. It would be nice to customize the phone UI the way we like it. I don't have Trebuchet running. Has anyone seen anything to customize the phone UI in there? Probably not yet. But, the rom is pretty good right now. :)

Mr. Chen, what an excellent report and guide you have produced! I didn't even think of releasing it by ejecting it from Windows Explorer and usually I do unmount drives like USB drives before pulling them from the systray USB release. But ejecting from Windows Explorer is just as good.

You have an XT910 phone too. I cannot help 910 users much so any helpful information for XT910 users is always welcome. Thank you Mr. Chen for the excellent report. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks for all your help guys!

I just wanted to say thanks here to everyone that has been pitching in to help out in the JakeDHS07 and Ohmster's CyanogenMod Q&A Thread. This is really Shaun's creation and he is not here anymore. But newbies and those with questions keep on coming. I do the best I can with it but my experience is limited to my own XT912 phone and the issues that have affected me. XT910 phones, APN issues, and some other issues that I have no experience with makes it difficult or impossible to help everyone. Much to my pleasant surprise, many senior members like Brian Hughes and DumbleCore have come to aid the cause and peek in to help those in the Q&A thread.

I thought maybe the thread would die out with Shaun, but it seems to have a life of it's own. Thanks to all of you that have come in to man the help desk. There will be days and weeks when I am not here and it is comforting to know that we have such a strong commitment of community, that the threads will continue. This is an awesome tribute to Shaun if we can keep the thread alive and with all of your help, I think that could be possible and that we can create a living memorial to Jake, AKA Shaun. Shaun did not give me the authority to change the thread name or end it, but maybe that does not matter. It is a Razr help thread and we all have the power to maintain it.

I want to thank you all that have pitched in to help and to encourage others to peek in on the Q&A thread and answer the questions that you are familiar with. I cannot do it alone. Wow, I always knew that XDA would be the place to go, but I never dreamed it would be this strong. Thanks to all of us. We rock, dudes! :cowboy:

I'm using systray USB release too, but my locale is Trad. Chinese so I don't know the name in English.

But sometimes the icon in systray didn't not response to my click :confused: , so eject from Windows Explorer is my second choice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That is just as good or better than the systray icon, Mr. Chen. I like to eject from Explorer myself. It does the same job and a bonus, it also ejects removable drives like CD and DVD drives. Great tip, everyone here can help and you are doing a great job, Mr. Chen. Thanks buddy! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Chadwick108:
Have to say we need more posts like this on Xda!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
The advantage for systray is you can eject/disconnect from ROOT device.

For example : multi-slot card reader and our XT910/XT912

You can see a device tree from systray and eject/disconnect all child device at single click.

That's why I'm using it as first choice. :o:o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Casper, I do not have a dock nor do I know how they connect to the phone. USB, HDMI, or how. But I do have an HDMI cable and as always, I get landscape orientation on the phone and the HDMI screen. Because it is a wide screen format, it will always force a landscape mode on the phone. Yes, this makes it impossible to reach the bottom halves of our desktops, we now have to use the app drawer to get at our goodies. Even the build.prop file about auto rotate cannot override this landscape orientation. I think this display property is inherent in the HDMI spec. You gotta live with it, that's all I can think of.

Since I do not have a dock, I cannot test the other questions you have. Because no one else is helping, I gave you what I could. Perhaps not many of us have docks to test this for you. But, after this post, I think that somebody with a dock and maybe even an XT910 may help us. [MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] has such a phone and he is quite knowledgeable. Mr. Chen is so kind and helpful, that perhaps he can be of some assistance. Let's see if he replies. :)

Let's try and double our chances:

Anyone here have a dock or especially, a dock and an XT910 phone, can you please run a few tests to help Casper?

Thank you. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Lawlrus:
So I have a question if anyone could offer some advice.

I tried flashing this, and liquid with the same result.

Once the screen goes off and it sits for a bit it happens, no apps installed.

Flashed using ss 3.73

Xt912

Been a while since I've flashed something on this, so I'm not quite up to date with flashing on this thing.

It's been discussed in this thread and this thread but no solution yet.

If you do not need HDMI, you may install JBX kernel and disable HDMI from install options.

Maybe HDMI is the cause but still need more tests to confirm.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Lawlrus:
Thanks, and sorry for my ignorance of not searching. Haven't used this phone for about eight months or so. I'll send a few days getting back up to speed.

I don't have a dock, just HDMI to TV and it will force landscape.

My launcher (Holo launcher HD) will re-arrange icons in landscape mode.

So I still can access all my app/shortcut/widget on home screen, bottom dock will move to right vertical too.

Screenshot can reference to my post here.

Perhaps someone which have a dock can help to test more.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Now that, is odd. I have seen this screen before, but it has always been when entering an accelerated graphics mode. Some of the 3D games do this upon launch. But the Razr does not have a very good graphics chipset. I never got any really high resolution games to work. And I cannot understand how an install of just cm11 and pagapps would produce anything like that. It shouldn't. You have the most recent version of Safe Strap and that should work just fine. I do not know how you are installing cm11 and what you are installing but I can give you a basic install procedure that should work. Want to try it?

You need Files:

pa-gapps for your phone, I recommend the mini-modular package.

cm11 nightly, I recommend build 07/29.

That's it on the files. Download them to your phone. For the pa-gapps, pick a package that has what you need, skip the big packages that contain too much bloat. May I suggest the mini-modular package.

For cm11, I would suggest you download the 07/29 nightly. Follow the link and at the top of the page is cm-11-20140729-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip. Grab it and it and put it with the pa-gapps file on your phone's SD Card where you can find it.

Safe Strap v3.73 is out.

Flash:

You are going to lose what you had setup, but since you cannot access it, starting fresh is the way to go. Enter Safe Strap. Wipe the card slot you have installed cm11 to (Delete). If that is slot 1, delete it, then recreate the rom slot and bump up the partition sizes a bit to give you more room.

Now that you have a clean rom slot, go to Install in Safe Strap. Browse for the cm11 file zip file. Now touch add more zips and browse for the pa-gapps zip file. Swipe to flash them both. Reboot. You should now have a clean nightly with no kind of accelerated graphics and it should be nice. Finish the Setup Wizard. Do not mess with HDMI or any app that requires accelerated graphics right now. Report how it goes.

Good luck. I see no reason why this should not work. Try this out, step by step, and let us know how it went. Goodnight. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I read a post over at the LS thread, where apparently LS had a generic WiFi-Mac address (00:da:36:16:de:eb).

He was asking if this was a known issue. Also, he said in CM11 it didn't use this generic address when installed in stock.

I'm on stock and I have this same address (same address on PA on slot 1 as well). It's a problem for me as I get WiFi at my provider's hotspots as part of my contract. I link my MAC address to my profile so that I can use the WiFi, otherwise if you are with another provider or don't get the benefit, it will prompt you to log in and pay (or whatever). This means that anyone with this Mac address (wherever in the country) can essentially use up my 10gb WiFi.

I only recently realised that I couldn't access these hotspots and found that my Mac address wasn't the same and had to change it on my profile. I don't know if this was after I put CM11 onto stock or when. (I probably moved onto stock like two months ago).

When CM11 was on slot 1 and JB was on stock, I could access the WiFi on either rom. I had set up my address before i installed cm and now only have I changed it to this generic one.

Please guys, check your Wi-Fi Mac address (settings>about>status) and tell me what yours is (or at least if it's the same or not as mentioned above).

07/29 Signal lock

Hi Guys,

I am still on 07/29 and one thing that amazes me is this rom will lock on to a signal very fast. Within one minute. But today, I noticed I have orange icons, no connection to Google servers. Hmmm, this does not make sense, this is a good rom. So, I toggled airplane mode for about a minute and when I took it off, I got my solid lock on signal and Google servers again.

I think not everyone is having great signal lock but the rom does have the ability to do it. Local carriers and service may impede this signal lock. Same phone, same rom, the biggest variable is local carriers. I know that the APN list in cm11 does omit certain carriers, but it has gotten a big improvement.

But, for most of us, if you do not get a strong signal lock to carrier and Google, try toggling airplane mode or rebooting. The Advanced Power Menu Xposed Module has a "Soft Reboot" option that also does this very well without having to perform a full reboot. You get pretty colors in the Advance menu if you wish to turn them on. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
I'm on CM11 on slot 2 and my MAC doesn't look like this one at all. Hope it helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Something weird going on because I experienced the last same issue with 7/27 where it was rock solid until yesterday and all of a sudden I started getting orange icons again after two days clean. I was starting to suspect that it was Xposed since I had been running without it until yesterday but sounds like that might have been coincidental. I just did a reflash of 7/27 to go back pre-xposed (vs. just a straight uninstall to eliminate all variables so I might stay on that for a couple of days and see if it fixes the issue....

Thanks for the heads up on the soft reboot option.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hmmm. Xposed modules have deep system hooks and can certainly upset the system. Our developer, [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] made me aware of this but I do not have problems with Xposed. It is nice to be able to disable them by unchecking them in the Framework menu, then rebooting. By all means, do this if you have problems.

For me, I have great signal lock with Xposed modules, just today I had a bad Google connection. Toggling airplane cleared it up and a soft reboot will do it also. You should have good results with that rom and if you wish, update to 07/29. I am on that build and can see no difference between it and 07/27. Good luck! :good:

You are showing an ipv6 IP address. I stick with ipv4 myself. My IP is pretty strange. Check screenshot for details.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
You've a IP in hex and dec? The one ipv6 the other ipv4.....

Usually a MAC is always in hex, but why dafuq u've two ip address's? Really strange :D

I've never looked at my phones mac as I don't care and don't need a static, but this is pretty cool what u've got, I'll attach a screen of mine, not cm, but just to compare :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
Wow. XT910 and 912 must be really different animals after all. This is my screenshot. Doesn't look a bit like yours:

BTW the MAC address is not that "generic" one that Casper was reporting, and which may cause him to get banned from wifi (due to IP leasing policies, their carrier may have a strong enforcement of that to prevent fraud).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Mine is the same as yours ?

The rom is Mokee (at the moment) ?

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You know, I really don't give a damn about IPv6 and I gave my phone a name and set the IPv4 address to be static on my own home wireless LAN. I gave it the IPv4 address of 10.0.06 so that I can find it on the network by name. Where it got this IPv6 address from, who knows? See home wireless LAN connected devices screen attached. Also attached for comparison is the phone screenshot of the IP address. You can see the assigned IPv4 address above the strange IPv6 IP.

I care about IPv4 and gave the phone a recognizable name for the network and a static IPv4 address to be able to find it and forward any ports, if so desired. So far, port forwarding has not been necessary. Try it. Go into your WiFi settings and add connection. You can either go DHCP which is pretty much standard or pick your own hostname and IP address. Does the same thing happen to you?

Now that I think about it, the IP address assigned to the phone are static. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hah. My IP is static, I assigned a static IPv4 IP address and a hostname for the phone. See my reply to DumbleCore for screenshot. You blurred out your IP address? You think we are going to hack into your phone from across the globe? Maybe park a van across the street with a WiFi sniffer? Too funny! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
Looks like that MAC address is a transnational clone. Might be a good idea to make a note to newcomers to CM and other alternative ROMs to back up their stock MAC before flashing, so at least they can retain it. Otherwise it may cause trouble, especially if two users are trying to get service from a common IP network device (router, etc).

Wouldn't notice much from one country to other, but in the case described by Casper, it may well be happening that his provider is denying him service randomly because, since the MAC is profusely cloned, it has already been granted a lease at a different site in their network. Until the other user disconnects, the network may refuse to lease him an(other) IP address.
