[MENTION=673006]l33tlinuxh4x0r[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION] do me a favor please and go back to my post #6537. Bob and Leet, this is for you. The post title is "CM12, CyanogenMod, and Android L, AKA "Lollipop"" A quick link for you to get there is right here:

CM12, CyanogenMod, and Android L, AKA "Lollipop"

I posted this yesterday, Monday at 09:09 PM and in that post was a quote from stargo, our OMAP4 developer. I ask him questions about stuff like this. He could not speak openly about it until this public leak came out from within CyanogenMod to gadgtspot. But he did say it was alright to tell the group now. Our developer's words are all In that gray quote box and in the quote box is an orange link to the "leaked news page" that you guys put up today. Also in the gray quote box is what Michael plans to do about it. Meaning our phones and getting Lollipop support for them. All of the purple text is from stargo, the leak to gadgtspot in orange, and how he, as a developer, would like to get our phones into the CM12 build tree. CM11 will finish and before it does, work on Android L will begin.

You are right, he said our phones cannot currently support "Android L" (Lollipop) but he is going to take on a huge challenge to change that. We *do* have people on our side. I guess I talk to much or you would have seen it.

Don't be so pessimistic, Michael is a really dedicated guy and has helped many of us in here, personally with issues. Not many other developers have time to do that. It gave me hope and comfort. Maybe it will make you feel better too. Want to go see? Go ahead, click the orange link above and see the gray quote box from "our developer", Michael. Hope this makes you feel better, it should. 'night my friends. :angel:

Hey guys, just wanted to jump in quick. At the moment I'm on my stock 4.4.4 Droid Turbo on Verizon and I'm STILL getting orange bars. Airplane mode toggle gets me back to white. Just wanted to give a heads up that the orange bars have no relation to CM from what I can see and can probably be left out of future build reports as an issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Nice... That means new safestrap... Hopefully TWRP 2.8.0.1 or newer! And hopefully you can change the bootwait timeout like you could in BMM.

I have just installed this rom and my network mobile didnt work, it recognized the simcard but there wasnt service. Any suggest?

I had to return to my previous rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bschmidy10:
Okay so I've read a lot of conflicting things.. What do you think of installing cm11 in Stock slot? And what's the process, I recall one time I accidentally attempted this I ended up soft bricking my phone
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Make sure that you don't have any ROM slots created.

Under advanced wipe, wipe everything EXCEPT Internal Storage and SDcard

Then, proceed as normal with installing CM11.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bschmidy10:
So to go from slot 1 to stock... I would make a backup.. Then activate stock slot... Then delete slot 1...theb wipe everything but internal and external, then restore backup to stock? Or do I need a fresh install entirely?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Welcome!

First things first.

Are you sure you used the correct ROM?

If you have a Droid RAZR (Maxx) XT912, you must flash the spyder ROM.

If you have a RAZR (Maxx) XT910, you must flash the umts_spyder ROM.

It's a common mistake for first time flashes.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Yes, you need to do a fresh install before you can restore your backup to the Stock Slot.

Make sure you let the ROM boot up entirely before you restore your backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blitzkriegoutlaw:
That is awesome. The only worry is I think everything will be broken for a while. I don't know if anyone remembers windows Vista. I was all excited about it until I installed it and half of my hardware would not work. In addition alot of the apps would crash, even in compatibility mode. I ended up uninstalling it and going back to XP. Windows 7 did make some things better but in reality all the software and hardware vendors just had to adjust to the new secure model regardless if it is Vista or 7.

I think I read that recovery has to be switched and focus is moving away from CM11 had expected. However does that mean that CM11 will not run on the new recovery? I hope not but I've been diving alot into safestrap (which the source is in github) and it is built on top of twrp. I got the impression that the next recovery is not twrp, thus why having to rewrite safestrap on top of a different recovery. If that is the case our options may be to either run stable CM11 or spend 6 months to a year to more waiting for your favorite apps to rewrite their code to support the drastic changes.

Food for thought.

Also I've been working on trying to find a way to run our slots from the sdcard. Trying to deal with that limited storage issue. I thought I was close until I found that the spyder delivery itself is hard fixed to have the slots on emstorage (internal storage). Haven't tried it yet but next option is to repoint emstorage to the sdcard. I have studied safestrap at least a dozen times inside and out and couldn't figure out why it kept going back to internal storage until I found the kernel loader was fixing itself to safestrap at emstorage. Worried but let's see if I can kill my phone. A couple times I wondered if I could bring it back alive.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
clockwork mod recovery doesn't currently support selinux from what I read. TWRP may or may not but it shouldn't be that hard to add it if it doesn't. I think that it actaully does though because it keeps complaining about selinux not being enabled when updating CM11 from safestrap. We just need to update everything to support selinux.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Both CWM and TWRP support selinux, if the kernel they are running on supports selinux. But in our case the recovery runs on the stock motorola kernel which does not support selinux and can't be replaced in flash due to the locked bootloader. That's also why you get the error messages about selinux currently.

My plan is to use kexec with a different kernel when entering the recovery (like it's already done when you boot into a ROM) to get around this problem, but that's not really trivial. :(

And it currently seems that L only contains backward-compatibility for KK-HALs, which could be a problem for our JB-blobs and which would mean that many more wrappers would have to be written and possibly the hwc/graphics-driver has to be updated to a much newer version (which will cause major breakage, I already tried that in the past)...

Much stuff to be investigated and I have not much time at the moment, so it will take a while to get this all investigated and fixes implemented. :(

Updating the TWRP-version is more or less the lowest priority point I currently have ;)

And to address another concern: Safestrap will continue to be based on TWRP and will still support CM-11 even when selinux-support is integrated.

Let's hope my next report on the current state of L will be more positive :)

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, that is what is sounds like, Leet. But nothing definite, anytime soon. Our developer is doing this on his own because the Droid Razr itself does not support Android L, no Selinux or encryption. So to get it done, yeah, sounds like a new safestrap in the slightly distant future, not done by Hashcode.

But by reading the actual CyanogenMod Leak post:

CyanogenMod 12 roadmap leaked, fun times ahead!

Tom Westrick talks about CM12 switching recovery and backup to Baton and that would improve security by taking backups off the device and keeping them in the cloud. One of the big features of Android L would be security. If a phone's sdcard or even the phone were found by someone else, they could restore your backup, even to another device, and get all of your information. So for security, that would be prudent. Has a bonus of syncing your game data too so you could play on the phone, play on the tablet, or even PC version and retain your game data.

It is really too soon to tell. One thing I know, the

only

place to find out what CyanogenMod is doing or planning would be to get it from a developer who works for them. We did get some information from one who is a friend. But there is only so much they are "allowed to disclose". Developers usually have to sign an NDA to work, and that prohibits them from talking about company plans, secrets, or anything the company does not decide to make public, yet, or if ever.

But we have an inside glimpse, and that is something for now. We have to wait and see what happens, don't speculate and create a frenzy, and look for announcements and articles on it. I am pretty thrilled because it means our Razrs are not dead yet! :fingers-crossed: :D

UPDATE:

Well there you have it. Stargo himself has updated us with future plans and how things are going ^^^ above this post. We have a lot to be thankful for. But, nothing in the near future. Still, I am optimistic. I could not think of a more capable and dedicated developer than Michael to help us with our devices. :good:

End of an era: Jake's Q&A to close and merge with Official XDA Q&A Thread

Fellow Members,

It really is nice to see Shaun back in the game, very chipper, and ready to jump right in. [MENTION=3322848]JakeDHS07[/MENTION] has been a constant source of support for us here in the developer thread. He installs new builds and gives us build reports on the current NIGHTLIES, helps individuals with issues, helps newbies, and how many times has helped with advanced issues like APN lists and other serious system issues. Jake is a very decent guy, friendly, eager, energetic, experienced, and someone who would really be missed if he were not around.

It looks like Shaun (Jake) is moving on with his advancement up the XDA ladder to eventual Administrator. He is closing down his personal CyanogenMod Q&A thread in an effort to consolidate the available help for our devices in the new, Offical XDA Razr Q&A thread. That's a nice move and a really decent thing to do. It puts all the help in one place and allows him to help the newbies with questions as well as help us with build reports and system issues. In the fairly short run of his Q&A thread, he has racked up over 50 pages. Impressive for a new thread where help is already available.

Myself and a couple of other members have stopped in to read is parting words and to give the guy Thanks for a job well done. If you support Shaun and would like to express your thanks for any help he has given you or the community, his last post would be a great place to show it. Link below to get you there:

JakeDHS07 and Ohmster's CyanogenMod Q&A Thread

Yeah, my name is on the thread too, Shaun knows how much I like to help and "promoted me" to thread partner. I will miss it but he is making the right decision to put all the help in one basket. If you support Jake and want to show your support (He is working towards becoming an XDA Administrator), please visit his last post and show your support with a a tap on his "official" Thanks button. ;)

Thanks for hearing me out everybody. 'night guys! :cowboy:

Yep, the DROID X with TWRP has full SeLinux support. But, unfortunately it has to be added into the kernel.

CM11 Build 11/03 gpod

A little late maybe, but have installed cm11 nightly build 11/03 for a couple of days already. No issues at all. Phone performs very well. No lag, black screen, force close, nothing wrong. Performance is quite good and fast.

Getting ready to test a newer build now. Hm, only a few items in builds 4 & 5 but at least I can move up and report if they pass or fail. Not getting many build reports in here so it is something I can do to contribute. :)

UPDATE:

This is interesting. I did update OTA to 11/05. Nice rom, no immediate apparent problems. Seems rather smooth in the couple of hours it is running. But, my minimum CPU frequency is stuck at 600MHz. I did double check the system settings files:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

And they are all set to 300000, as they should be. There is no minimum CPU frequency setting in cm11 and even if there were, it would show in the above code to run in the terminal. Yet, ever since the 11/03 to 11/05 update, the device never idles at 300Mhz anymore. CPU Governor still set to ONDEMAND which shoots up to 1200MHz to perform a task quickly, then steps down incrementally 1000, 800, 600, & 300MHz idle. It is not really a "dealbreaker" and it might use a little more battery, but I cannot explain this. I am going to study this by saving this rom as a backup, reverting to 03, double checking, and updating each date to see when this rise in idle frequency occurs. Nothing solid to make of this, but you can see your own idle frequency in /Settings/Performance/Processor/ and watch the real time "Current CPU frequency" bar. It should drop to 300MHz if the phone is doing nothing and you are not using the Performance Governor. Perhaps the higher idle frequency is making it feel so smooth? Huh, the phone does feel more snappy. I wonder if this is a result and why it is not shown in the scaling_min_freq file.

Maybe I should let this ride and see how it does but I need your simple help. If you could, follow the simple instructions below and report your findings, please? Screenshot shows you what to look at.

Could some of you who have not updated to 11/05, or 11/04 even, check your "Current CPU frequency" bar and watch when just sitting to see how low it drops? Should drop to 300MHz when the phone just sits. Thanks. :confused:

...actually anybody can post their minimum CPU frequency . Just state you build date. Thanks guys.

EDIT:

Trickster does get this right with one setting but warns of "Might get undone because of other apps/system services" and at every reboot, the setting is gone. Not sure what is going on here. Researching it and will ask stargo.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Thanks for the update Ohms

I do actually like to hear build reports myself before I update. I haven't commented recently myself though as I'm currently running 10/27; which, by the way is good, but I do find it quite irritating making calls. It is just slow. Actually it's no fun at all. I was looking (physically) for someone the other day and we were calling back and fourth to find out where the other was. It was just frustratingly slow (not necessarily always black call screens). And it also feels as though the phone suddenly becomes slow sometimes after making a call.

Anyways.

So, Oh, how I am so amused by Google.

Today, Google Now showed me the approximate location of where I parked my car. Well, Google was wrong but I don't mind, because 'twas a good effort. The location it pointed me to was at the train station - and that's where I got off the train for work this morning. Not bad Google. :)

Running 11/05 and current CPU frequency is 300 MHz. CPU governor is set to Interactive.

Update: Now on 11/06 nightly and current CPU frequency is 300 MHz. Generally this nightly seems to be running OK, but battery life is still poor.

Same report on Umts_Spyder (XT910): 11/05 and 11/06 nightlies running ok, but battery life still not good. Audio on created video very low. 11/06 slightly better than 11/05.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
I'm running on 11/01, very stable and responsive. But that "zombie" situation is still present and I can't pinpoint exactly what causes it, just speculations. I'm nearly barebones regarding deep system tools. I even froze BBS. But the problem arose last night when I started Instagram: black screen, +30 secs before the phone showed Instagram UI, even soft keys didn't turn on. Terminal didn't start (black window) and Titanium had problems gaining root access. Suddenly, soft reboot. When restarted, the phone had no WiFi, so I had to restart again (because I needed to check some stuff before falling asleep) and then I lost last_kmsg or any leads. Since I have almost zero tools, I have a hard time capturing logs and checking system variables.

After this episode, phone acted normally (and quick) today.

I'll try to recreate this situation but I first need to stop needing the phone :)

Is your CPU Min Freq box grayed out?

'scuse me guys,

Still working on the CPU Min/Max frequency thing. As a dedicated Droid rommer, it is my duty to investigate things I don't understand and that may help me or anyone else in the Android community. So I did mention I am having issues with my phone's minimum idle frequency as being double the 300MHz it normally is. I did change my preferred CPU Governor to INTERACTIVE. I do like the short timer on it so that successive CPU tasks do not spike and drop the CPU so heavily. Nice.

A fast question that might help me out. Is your /Settings/Performance/Processor/Minimum CPU frequency/ box greyed out like mine is in the screenshot?

I never paid attention to this before so I really don't know. If a few of you could check and let me know, it would help a lot. Of course anything I learn is available to the group as it helps everyone. Thanks guys! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
Yes, it is grayed out (20141103 nightly)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thank you L3ibnitZ. Same build I have. I don't think it ever was an option that we could change, but have to check. ;)

You know, [MENTION=673006]l33tlinuxh4x0r[/MENTION] finally told me how to pronounce his handle. It is

Elite Linux Hacker

or 'leet Linux hacker. Does your "L3ibnitZ" handle mean something or have a way to pronounce it?

My upgrade to 11/06 was not too successful. It installed well, ran great for about 7 hours, then Titanium Backup "got stuck" doing it's late night backup tonight at 2:00 AM. I noticed it running, was at 80%, maybe ½ hour later went to make a phone call and saw that TiBu was still at 80%. Tried the phone call again. Black screen spinning white arrow, oh no, not again. Checked Titanium Backup, stuck on "looking for license". Tried ES File Explorer to look for TiBu license file and ES got stuck and crashed. Not good, restored 11/03 backup. Hmmmm. I think that 11/06 probably is a good update, but for whatever reason I am having an issue with it. I did not try simply rebooting or wiping dalviik or cache. Just restored backup, updated a few apps, and want to keep an eye on it for now. Anyone good on 11/05 or 11/06 please let me know. Might be just me and I would like to hear from someone else if they have updates installed. Thank you. :)

Good looking out L3ibnitZ! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sShadowSs:
This option has been grayed out as far as I can remember. Even on CM10. Actually I'm confirming that on my 10.1.3 build it is in fact grayed out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
It's the Nickname i choose years ago because i like the butter biscuit (http://www.leibniz.de/de/produkte.html#/butterkeks) and thought it was funny because of him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz. The "t" in my L3ibnitZ is there because Leibniz and L3ibniz was already taken, the numbers in some nicks are comming from 1337 leet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet). So there is not really a meaning.

My upgrade to 11/06 went well, except that I now have the alerts of the CyanogenMod updater in the notification bar(https://www.dropbox.com/s/16rorh99wu01gd1/IMG-20141107-WA0001.jpg?dl=0), as some downloads failed and they no longer get away. Swiping to the left or right doesn't work. Anyone ever had a similar problem and may know how I get rid of the notification or how I reset the status bar?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks L3ibnitZ. Oh wow, there really is a Leibniz butter cake biscuit. :)

When CM11 updates downloads fail, they do not "go away" from the notification panel, even after rebooting. It remains as an "unfinished task". To clear this, go to /Settings/Apps/ and find "Downloads" & "Download Manager". Tap and clear data. I forget exactly which one, Downloads, I think. But if not, do the Download Manager. Easy to remember because the Download apps have a "down arrow" icon and when downloading a cm11 update, you see the down arrow in the notification bar. This is something you will remember. Which one worked?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
Thanks :thumbup: clearing data of Download Manager did the trick. I already tried to clear the data of cmupdater but i wasnt thinking about Download Manager. :what:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I know, I was pulling my hair out doing the same thing. I added the arrow information above because that is how I found it. :)

I think that if the download were to become available, you would actually get it because the download manager still has it queued as a task. But since you tapped it so many times, what would happen? Would you get like 5 of them? LOL! :laugh:

Cmupdater's job is to alert you that updates are now available and which ones. The Download Manager's job is to bring that bad boy to you. Just remember the "arrows" in first reply. You won't forget that. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Grayed out on 11/05 and 11/06. Do you have 300 MHz as an option under Max CPU frequency?

11/06 is running OK on my phone. A bit laggy and poor battery life though. I'm upgrading to 11/07 now.
