Get the newest version from his links for KitKat.

So camera2.zip is a flashable zip for the camera2.apk, it wasa fix for the broken camera pre 12.29 nightly. Cameras.zip is an aroma installer of different cameras to also fix the problem. Moto_X_Camera.3.0.187.apk is the Moto X camera apk, which is also not needed.

Now there isn't a camera issue (except you can't store images to sd). Neither of these are needed on 12.29.

For JBX you'll want to use the newest stable version.

For gapps, it doesn't matter too much honestly, just depends on what all you want installed from Google bloat (read what's included or open up the zip and look for yourself). I prefer Dhackers because it has just the requirements and some minimal tweaks; I can install any extra Google apps myself from the store.

I'm on Verizon like yourself (West Coast), I've fresh flashed CM11 multiple times now, here's whati do:

Download the Nightly, JBX, WiFiAP fix, and Dhackers gapps into one folder.

Boot into SS 3.65

Advanced wipe: (Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Android Secure) x3. {I still still triple wipe}

Install CM11 Nightly and gapps (add more zips)

Advanced Wipe: Dalvik & Cache

Flash WiFiAP fix

Advanced Wipe: Dalvik & Cache

Flash JBX with Moto X and 720p fix plus the other innit.d tweaks I like

Reboot and Done

I always do everything at once and no problems. Everyone had their own method of madness or habit with flashing...

Note: Yes I know triple wiping supposedly does nothing extra, but I always seem to have less problems than others when I do so.

Note2: I wipe Dalvik & Cache after each flash to guarantee there is nothing left over then in between flashing of packages.

Also, this doesn't take very long. I can completely wipe phone, reflash stock, swutch to slot-1, wipe and install, and boot up the phone in about 30min or less. Setting up all myapps again and all that jazz takes me like an hour or 2 more lol.

Yes, it's been that way for me since 12.18 release.

I remember in this thread I believe I saw someone talking about having a phone from Brazil. Try searching the forum. Also if you can normally flash umts_spyder roms without problems or any modifications, you should be fine; just be sure to back up your current rom first.

Recuerdo en este hilo que vi a alguien hablando de tener un teléfono de Brasil. Intenta buscar el foro. Si normalmente flash ROMs de umts_spyder sin problema, usted debe estar bien. Asegúrese de realizar copias de seguridad de su ROM actual primero.

Hey Ohmster, been following you on here for a bit. I think you should jump in and do it. I'm running CM11 on XT912 with SafeStrap 3.65 in the stock slot for quite a while now. I haven't had any issues in a couple weeks. Here's how I flashed and what I flashed.

-Clean install on Stock Slot Safe Strap 3.65

--Activate the slot you want to flash to (Wouldn't recommend using the stock slot unless you're comfortable with what your doing)

--Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Android_secure (repeat to make sure everything is clear)

--Flash latest CM11 build (I'm now on 12-29 nightly)

--Flash WiFi AP patch (I need the AP for my job every day and this works great, no issues)

--Flash Paranoid Android GApps (I'm going to end up installing all of the google apps anyway so might as well get it all from the start)

--Flash JBX Kernal 12-09

*At this point I have always installed the Moto X camera within the JBX Aroma installer. I haven't tried the latest nightly to see if the camera is fixed but it appears it has been. If I were you I would skip the Camera install and just see if the camera on the 12-29 nightly works. You can always flash a camera apk later if it isn't working.

--Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (Repeat...can't hurt)

--Reboot

--If you have any issues at this point, a reboot and wipe of the Cache and Dalvik Cache should clear it up, also try fix permissions under advanced menu in safestrap. Then you should be good to go after that!

--:D:fingers-crossed:

**It should be noted that when flashing those files I use the zip queue, add each file to the queue in that order and then flash

Hope this helped! Good Luck.

I've tried flashing the JBX kernel several times and if gets to the last step, optimizing cache I think (this can take 2min), and it just sits and sits way more than 2 min. I end up doing a "battery pull" and it reboots. It seems that everything is working after that. SS 3.65 just default tweaks, no camera install. Should I just wait longer? I waited at least 10 min.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I have noticed something off about the JBX flash at the end that gets a little glitchy with SafeStrap3.65. Mine get's to the optimizing cache part and generally takes under 2 minutes to complete, but then the screen goes dim and if i say no to the reboot, the screen becomes unresponsive and it will reboot anyway. If I recall correctly it took a bit longer one of the first times I installed JBX for it to clear past that optimizing caches part. But seems like an issue with the JBX Aroma installer with the newest build. If I were you I would wait a bit to see if it will complete the process. (I wouldn't wait any longer than 20 minutes personally...but make sure your phone is plugged in and charging when you do it) see if it finishes up. If not have you tried re-downloading JBX? Could be a bad download.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SimpTheChimp:
Got new 12/29 version - camera works, seems smooth. However, I use MyBackup Pro to restore my SMS, MMS, etc... But it can't 'see' my external SD card - when I try to pick the location to read the backup from, it says 'Local (Not Accessible)'. But I can see my external card fine from File Explorer, so I know it's mounted.

Any ideas? Anything special I need to do?

Update: Never mind, a cache wipe seems to have fixed it. Strange....

Download and flash in recovery. This will make the wifi hotspot for CM11 work. Once it's flashed just turn on the WiFi Access Point (under settings, "more" under Wireless & Networks, Tethering & Portable hotspot) and enjoy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
Well, this is odd.

I'm using CM since 10.2. I'm having a random issue that leaves me without cell service, completely nil. Signal bars get hollow and "no service" label appears. Switching airplane mode on and then off doesn't work. The radio never gets back (signal bars disappear, not even the hollow symbol). The only solution: full reboot.

I couldn't reproduce the problem. It appears randomly, sometimes after an hour from reboot, sometimes after 2 days.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Are you currently running CM11? Did you do a clean install of it? You can't dirty flash CM10.2 to CM11 without causing issues. You try clearing cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions?

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Does anyone know the status of ART with CM11? The benefits of it seem spectacular but I'm not looking to use it unless I can use it with CM11 as a daily driver. I know specific apps aren't working like PNC virtual wallet but i can live without if need be until they catch up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I posted the same issue a couple pages ago. None of the "fix permissions" or anything that I have tried have worked. It seems to happen to me when I'm in a weak signal area switching between 3g and 4g. Most people probably don't see this issue because they are in a strong 4g area. You have to get to the switching action before it will happen. I think it is somehow related to APN's.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
I'm on CM 11 now. Yes, I dirty flashed from CM10.2 but this issue was present on 10.2. I have no problems now on CM 11 besides this one (and a worse battery consumption).

I always do cache and Dalvik wipes between flashes. Did not fix permissions, though

Mnldr@xt910_xda_premium

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Interesting...

It's very likely to be the cause. Weak signals is one of the top issues of Argentina's painful cell companies. I remember however one time the modem stopped working but I was at home with WiFi running and strong phone signal.

Mnldr@xt910_xda_premium
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I would do a clean install of cm11. From what I read you should not dirty flash cm11 over 10.2 because of the problems it could cause. I know its a pain starting fresh but usually will clear up issues such as that. I'm switching between 3g and LTE quite frequently... as I'm writing this in fact, and I haven't had issues on cm11 since the alpha builds. On the other hand I'm on XT912 CDMA so this could be an XT910 issue.

I'm also using jbx kernel
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hakarune:
What is your setup like, partition size, how many apps, etc...? And which version? When I flash JBX with minimal or lots of tweaks with the camera and fix it only takes less than 5 min... It's always fast. Though before I flash JBX I wipe dalvik & cache first.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Have a VZW MAXX running the 12.29 nightly, the DHacker GApps, the 12.09 JBX Kernel, and the hotspot fix. Everything seems to be running smooth enough to hold me over on this phone at least until 5G hits in 2020 ;)

I dirty flashed the 12.29 ROM on top of the 12.09 nightly using the update feature in settings. Followed with all others using SS 3.65, wiped cache, dalvik and fixed permissions before booting into it.

All in all, pretty stable and solid. All of the features I use regularly seem to be working just fine and I'm enjoying the new ones that come with 4.4. I suspect I'll be sticking with this ROM/kernel combo for a while.

Battery burn seems to be pretty good for me. I installed all last night and lost about 10 % battery overnight which seems to be in-line with what I'm used to seeing on stock JB. Been fooling with the phone and settings too much today to get a good feel one way or the other. Battery level reporting still seems a little wacky though.

I did have an issue with sending MMS initially - kept getting a "couldn't send, no APN found or something like that - but a 'fix permissions' in SS 3.65 seems to have solved the problem. I made sure under network settings that CDMA+LTE/EVDO was the chosen network (at least for me).

No problems at all with signal losses, wifi connection issues, or tethering. I've been hopping between all three frequently throughout the day but WRT signal losses I am in a pretty strong 4G area.

** When sending/receiving texts to/from two phones in front of me, I've noticed that I have about a 3 minute lag receiving SMS. SMS sent from my MAXX arrive near instantaneously but incoming texts take 2-3 minutes to show up. Anyone else seeing this lag or have a work around? :confused:

Moto car dock support seems to be gone :( I really liked snapping my phone into its car dock and it auto launching the CD mode. I'll miss that and smart actions - the moto alternative (forget what its called) shows as incompatable with this phone running 4.4.

Happy with it so far and I'll continue to report back any observations that might add value to the thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I have about 100 apps in the drawer. I haven't selected any tweaks, just the ones selected by default. No camera added.

I did not wipe cache or Dalvik.

I flashed CM11 12/29 first. I always wipe system and both cache before I flash the ROM.

I waited a good 15 min the last attempt and it stuck so I powered off and it rebooted but was unstable. Maybe I'll try once more and wipe the caches first.

Do you see a real improvement in battery? That's what I'm looking for. The "stock " kernel is plenty fast for me. Of course flashing updates daily I haven't really seen what battery is like with CM kernel.

For me, on my maxx, it seems to get better/longer battery life with JBX (WiFi on 24/7).

As for JBX flashing, you should really wipe dalvik/cache before flashing. Also it could be a bad download (double check the md5 on it. Also, which JBX are you trying to flash, is it the newest for 4.4?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I've tried 12-09 and 12-17 both 4.4. Now I can't get the download site to open. Tried both. I don't check the md5 but it runs through the install script smoothly until the optimizing cache, it just sits at that point, 95% complete.

I have run the restore kernel after and that works too.

One more shot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Sounds good! Camera is working, that is nice. The Moto X cam should save to SD, that is why I have the apk file. jbx kernel is supposed to really rock, even if you don't tweak it at all because it does come with a working HD cam. Sounds like I am ready man. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LumberjackZac:
md5 all your downloads with regards to Flashing. They probably get goofed 1 out of 10 times.

What does "no_set_metadata" mean in gapps?

Hmmm, I heard that the dhacker gapps is somehow customized and better, but you get a lot more in the pa set. The stock set recommended from CM, gapps-kk-20131208.zip is said to be stripped of stuff you can download from Play Store. This is what they say about them on CyanogenMod:

The packages below are for CyanogenMod 7 and above(or compatible Android builds based upon the same AOSP versions). These packages are DPI and architecture-independent, so you only need to match your OS version. In addition, any app which can be installed from the Google Play Store such as Gmail, Maps, and Voice Search have been removed from the packages for a smaller download size and easier updating directly through Play.

Current set is listed above. See? You don't get Gmail, Maps, and Voice Search. Maps and Mail I want, I never use voice search, well, actually I do. When driving I lookup stuff by voice all the time. Maps is an absolute must and Gmail is important. So yeah, I need that stuff. There is an identical package with "nometadata". I wonder what that means and what effect it would have?

Package: gapps-kk-20131208-no_set_metadata.zip

What the heck does that mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I dunno. Do we need metadata? Is it device specific? Who knows. If you don't know, someone might. They might see this post and help us understand the difference.

Hmmmm, I do have some time to play tonight. Might just get my hands dirty and go for it, make a darned good backup first. I don't have a lot of SD space but will do the 2Gb partition.

Anybody know what gapps-kk-20131208-no_set_metadata.zip means?

Thanks buddy!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Wiped system and Dalvik caches and waited about 10 min. It completed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Yeah he really did a good job on that how to! the no meta part is when dhacker first made it. it needed that to even boot or work right. Now i think it is good. You can use it or the normal one if you want. I just used it because i do not need all the other google stuff if i want it i just download it from the play store lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Wanted to fill everyone in on the status of ART. Since no one replied to my post asking if anyone knew how it worked with CM11 I decided to dive right in and see what happened. Before i did so i found this website http://www.androidruntime.com/ which you can search which apps are ART compatible at the moment. Only a few of the ones I had were incompatible so I went right with it. Headed over to settings, development, and switched from dalvik to art. Cyanogenmod gives a quick warning which i bypassed and went ahead with the reboot.

System rebooted and went to the "Android is Upgrading, Optimizing apps ** of 128". This part took AGES (about 15 minutes). Much longer than when using Dalvik.

Once i got to the home screen everything seemed fine. After a moment "Pandora has stopped working" and "camera has stopped working" (I'm using JBX Moto X Cam) came up and i closed with "okay". I opened the camera, works fine. Everything else works great and in fact seems much snappier than when using dalvik. Placebo effect? Not sure. If anyone is interested I will keep updated any issues i run into or if i feel any performance increase or decrease for that matter.

First impressions are it is running very well. Quicker response within apps. Really "snappy" feel. No issues as of yet. From what I read the benefit of using ART is 100% faster than Dalvik...we shall see.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
I tried art also but i ran into a issue with any of the launchers nova and apex even tho they both say they are compatible with art on that website. have you tried them??? other than that is was great! I just do not like the default launcher it is the bear minimum.

I don't use any other launchers launchers. I love the whole Google now integration into the home screen. I do miss some of the customization though. As I'm typing this I am realizing the keyboard is running a lot smoother, more responsive. Think I'll stick with ART for a bit. Really enjoying it. I'm curious how it will effect battery life.

I finally decided to install CM11 into Stock Slot now that it is running great. No problems at all installed CM , Wifi patch, gapps 12/08 and JBX 12/09. Fully operational on nightly 12/30. Keep up the great work my phone is running the best in the 18months I have had it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hakarune,

I really want to thank you for this very precise, detailed, and rather fast, "one shot" update procedure. I did save your original but thought I had to reboot between flashes, which of course would screw up the setup wizard and Google Down loader. Now I have a dammed good, get it all done, procedure, updated all the files I need (There is now a CM 1230 release.), backed up my CM10.2 again, insured I was using Safe Strap 3.6.5, and have already done the first triple wipe. I am going for it man. This is your finest work that I have ever saw. And this makes it practical and doable in one night. Wish me luck, will report back with results. Thanks again!

Update:

* First attempt failed, triple wiped 5 items, chose to flash these two files:

cm-11-20131230-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

gapps-kk-20131208-no_set_metadata.zip

It failed at the gapps zip signature so it did not get very far.

Fortunately I have a working stock ROM and booted to it to try a different gapps. Want dhackers if possible so will now try this one: gapps-kk-20131208.zip

Getting nervous here. What about "Fix Permissions"? Does that come into play here at all? Well, if I do not get ROM and gapps installed, I will try to delete slot, recreate it, and if it fails, I have to restore and wait for advice. Continuing...

Update:

It is flashed the rom but failed zip signature again on the gapps. Wonder if checking the zip signature is a good idea or just try another gapps. I just tested this very same zip file with Winzip and everything in the file is OK. I am not going to verify zip signature, this is BS, two different gapps in a row. This is frustrating!

Update:

Another failure. W/out zip verification the failure was something like "executor zip binary failed", "metadata failed, some other sort of error. My PC rebooted before I could read the screen and that part is gone already. I cannot get these gapps installed to save my life. Giving up for now, I need a good phone for tomorrow. Reverting to CM10.2 until I can figure out what this gapps flash problem is. 'night all!
