I tried M6 but lost all my quick settings tiles, couldn't get them back and they were enabled. Home button also didn't work for me. Went back to 04/05 but did a factory reset to get my tiles back. I don't get this ui crashing that everyone talks of though - and I just about update every 2nd or 3rd nightly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] josuearisty:
Exatly the same thing was happening to me and I had to clean install m6. But Im really getting terrible battery life with it, my battery is draining like 5% in 20 mins.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh I just do not want to budge onto M6 and hate what I have in 05/04 because of black screen lockups. I will probably revert to a previous end of April build or something.

Well, Micheal has been strangely quiet in the last day or so. He did personally ask for the audio wrapper patchest 9 test and I complied. So I popped into his dev thread and man, the guy is burning midnight oil to put this Bluetooth audio issue to bed, once and for all.

I was asked to test patchset 9 one day ago. He is now finished patch set 12 and if "nothing goes horribly wrong", will incorporate it into the current build sets as published. The guy needs a rest but I doubt if he will take it. We all get a little edgy when current builds are "going bad" and wish he would just "pop in" to help. He will probably be done today and with a little luck, we should hear something. Maybe tomorrow if he burns midnight oil again.

I guess the APN issue, black screen lockup, and UI crashes will have to wait a bit for now. If I recall, this issue has been in the build for many months, Vanwho recognized it in my build with black screens when everyone else was having orange bars and signal issues. It is the same problem, the USB bridge choke point issue. All phone data has to pass through the USB host bridge module and it chokes right there and causes all of these issues. I do not know this "officially", but it is the same problem over and over, and it is a real hard one to fix. There are enough accurate reports here (Thank you for the details, people!) for Micheal to see what is going on when he returns. Gosh this USB host bridge issue has been buried for like over a month with smooth builds, I thought for real it was a done deal. I could be wrong but others should pickup the hint about the USB host bridge and recognize it.

For now I guess, just put up with it or revert to end of last month build. I just lost another phone call during this post with a black screen. Don't recognize the number and no message so maybe it was a good thing. :D

Good luck folks and thank you all for details and accurate reporting. Without it or serious testers, nothing would get done! :good:

I don't have any problems with the m6 Snapshot. My quick settings tiles are fine, no ui crashes, buttons are working, battery life could be better, but it's OK.

Updated from M5 snapshot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yah, but you got an XT910. That is a different beast. Not everybody has problems. Chinkster did his APN fix and is now happy with it. I am glad you got it working though. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DelGreco:
I have an XT910, I'll try to go from M5 to M6.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Well I moved to the newest nightly, the 5/6 one and the download for CMUpdater is still stuck in it's loop

Will the cm11 m6 home button and quick settings work on a clean flash, rom slot 1?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
I use the stock slot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Looks like Stargo pushed through the bluetooth audio fix in the 05/07 nightly. Downloading now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
I know I can flash it in slot 1, I already flashed the m5. I just want to know if the home button and quick toggles are working.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
As you can read in post #4244 it works fine on my xt910, can't tell you if it works without problems on the xt912.

I thought the only difference is the radio?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Yep, I think that's the only difference.

I'm 99.9% sure that of you did a clean flash, you would have the same problems.

Same here - I attempted to update via cmupdater - and I never use that, manually updated to 5/7 and it still shows stuck in loop - kinda brain dead right now, and trying to figure out how to cancel/stop the process - stoping cmupdater via System Panel Lite has no effect... doh!!

EDIT....OK down swiped on it then chose app info - force stop - then clear data..... long night/morning... all good now.... it is actually download manager instead of Cmupdater...

PSA: Do not install 20140507 if you intend to use your phone to make calls. You will get beeps every 4s. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63514/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks a heap. I have been putting up with this for the past two hours and had NO idea of where it was coming from. Just installed it, so thrilled, and was really scratching my head over this confounded beeping. Thought Verizon was annoying me into paying a late bill.

Okay I will revert to a backup, thank you very much, Micheal. :cool:

P.S. Your side by side on the AudioPolicyManagerBase.cpp is pretty cool. I personally cannot spot the difference, not being a coder, but it is *very* cool to look at and get a glimpse into the world of a first class coder. Many thanks! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
It is quite possible that the black-screen is really caused by the current memory-leaks in SystemUI. Investigations are still ongoing, it's not cured by the change I linked to earlier. People who know SystemUI much better are looking at it.

When your device has no more free memory and you try to start another one, it will freeze for a while. This will happen for example when it tries to start the InCallUI when you receive a call.

The moment this got so bad was when the new theme engine was introduced. IIRC this was on the monday after easter. M6 is affected by this.

It's not USB, it just has the same symptoms, which makes debugging even more frustrating...

Yes, if this happens regularly, it's better to stay on an older build until this is fixed.

Yes, that's the way to fix this cmupdater problem. It usually happens if you click on a download multiple times because it does not seem to start (probably because the phone is trying to free memory). The download actually starts and you initiate multiple.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Good to know, thank you.

Okay, that makes sense.

Ugh! Wow, I really got busted on that issue. It is SO incredibly similar to what we were experiencing with the USB Host that I was certain it was one in the same! ...frustrating? Let's make that "frustrating to the nth power"! You have stamina, I will give you that, Stargo. Well, I was wrong, best keep my own assessments to myself until verified. Live and learn. :p

Yes, very good advice. 04/30 and 05/01 were pretty good and I have both. Can use your patch set 9 in the meantime as no higher patch set has been offered publicly. Not a big deal as it works quite well so far.

Really appreciate your taking the time for the immediate PSA and this "once over" on current questions and conditions. Thank you, thank you very much, Micheal. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
I installed before a backup, oh well I will just update again tomorrow and hopefully it will be gone. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
I've just uploaded the current version which is now in CM to: http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/test/audio/

I'm pretty sure that the beeping will be gone tomorrow.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
...ouch! Man, that is a LOT to hope for. I really feel bad for you iceman. Well, Micheal did say it probably will be gone tomorrow, but maybe not the system UI crashes. I am going back to 05/01. Best wishes.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Hey Guys,

Has anybody ever flashed an older version on top of a newer one to rid the phone of an unforeseen issue and keep their phone data? I know it is a bad idea and could introduce worse problems, the bigger the difference the more the problems.

But had anybody ever done it and did it work? It might help someone that did an update and did not backup first. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
I *beep* went *beep* back *beep* to *beep* my *build* from *beep* yesterday. I actually needed to call people ;)

It usually works and only breaks when the database-format of system-applications changes. The new versions include code to upgrade the old database, but the old version naturally does not support to downgrade from the new one.

I'm not aware of anything in the last weeks which should prevent you from going back. But I could have simply missed something and it will not work. Worst thing to happen is that the phone will not boot and you have to flash the new build again. The phone should then boot again.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Ah! "Perfect Answer"! I was asking this for GTiceman to see if he could get out of his situation, come up with the right words to say it, and really know the right answer to give him. You got it right man, especially the last part about worst case, install new build. I *know* this stuff but just couldn't find the right words to express it. Very good, Micheal. Thanks for getting me out of that. ;)

P.S.

It is really great that you were able to answer this so elegantly, Micheal. Thank you. People here listen when you talk, thus this is bound to stick in someone's head for the future.

...you know what is coming, right?

We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

(Snicker! I am cracking up laughing right now. I know the answer you have from the email. ...still cannot stop laughing about it, though. You are *such* a decent guy!) ...party time. Excellent! :laugh: LOL! (I just cannot stop laughing at all! NOT *beep beep* kidding!)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Omegadrive:
I have done it plenty of times with no issues when a build gives me problems, but did all of them manually by deleting system/davlik/cache partition and then installing older just in case, then pa-gapps micro.

And after installing 05-07 today it seems I will have to do that just now, the beeps are annoying, no other issues thou (except for the known UI crash).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Awesome! Thank you. I was trying to think of what to wipe before really trying this (I have backups and do not have to.), but didn't get it right. I was thinking cache, dalvik cache, and android secure. But I was not sure about system. I know data would sink you but system? Yeah, that is the missing piece! Every install sets up it's own system so you got it right, Gold Star!

Great day at the milk bar with all you boys and girls. Thanks everybody and you too, Omegadrive. :good:

Ugh, after almost a year updating roms on this phone finally on the 05/07 update got the no APNs issue, reverted to 05/06 and all is fine again.

Oh, this fix has been abandoned.

So fix may not arrive in next nightly...:(

I'll revert to 05/06 when I get back home.

But keep BT wrapper lib from 05/07.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
It was only abandoned because Steve already pushed the exact same thing without looking into gerrit: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/4108341ff2252458b2313cd213eeb8de603ddabe

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
I've noticed this fix in next nightly, but don't know this is the one.

Thanks for your information, waiting for next nightly tonight. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
ChungHung.Chen,

Even Stargo told me that yes, the builds were wrecked with the new theme engine. Not the beeping, that was yesterday, 05/07. I only updated to run a test for Micheal for his audio wrapper patch set 9, which works quite well. But I still have lockups really bad, other symptoms are APN and UI FCs. What said about this:

Micheal's reply:

I restored an 05/01 backup and will install audio wrapper 9. So, if you have no unstable system issues, use 05/06. Else go to 05/01 or 04/30, both very stable. If you want wrapper 9, it is attached in the zip with instructions. That was the last wrapper offered to the public and is quite good.

UPDATE:

Our own Mr. Chen has taken the time to create two flash zip files that will install the audio wrapper for you with a quick flash, takes about ½ second, no wiping, and reboot. I tested the spyder XT912 version and this is sweet, patch set 12, the release version for your April build phones for Bluetooth artificial speech. Nice, highly recommended.

Get Mr. Chen's quick flash release version audio wrapper files here!

hth :good:

UPDATE:

Um, I actually had orange bar and no signal issues with 05/01. I could maybe use Jake's APN fix, but I try to find an easier way as that entire procedure would need to be repeated at every update, if necessary. Stargo did advise that as far as he knew, all of these issues were brought on with the new theme engine and that was on Easter Sunday, 04/20/2014.

Stargo even did recommend reverting to an earlier build until things calm down a bit and the builds become stable, for me and people that need a reliable phone. So I restored a backup:

Stable Build 04/19

This gave me a strong signal, no lockups, no orange bars, a nice, clean, working phone that I can install the Bluetooth audio wrapper on and be good with it. If anyone is wondering how far to go back to get a stable phone, I would suggest 04/19, the day before Easter. AFAIK, the entire month up to 04/19 are all really good, stable builds. I thought we were home free until the new theme engine dropped a "scatter bomb" of problems that even Stargo admits are VERY frustrating to troubleshoot as it mimics the USB Host lockup we had before. I don't care about a theme engine until it actually works and all the bugs are gone again, so just installing the audio wrapper gives me a really good, stable phone with all the frills but "themes".

I do not have build 03/19 anymore but I do have 04/27 and 04/28. The Easter Sunday date is not carved in stone. That is when Micheal recalls the theme engine was introduced and it is giving all sorts of trouble. The 2 I do have are pretty close and will get you a stable phone if anyone needs it, I will make it available if requested.

If anyone does have cm-11-20140319-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip, please make it available, dropbox or something. I would really like to have a fresh copy of that very stable build. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi Ohmster,

Mine is XT910 and never get System UI FCs or using any themes but stock one.

I may keep 05/08 for a while to see if it's stable enough for me.

I've manually downloaded 05/06 nightly for revert but don't have 04/19 (umts_spyder) which you recommended.

For BT audio wrapper, I can make a recovery zip from 05/08's file when I come home tonight and it can be used in CyanDelta.

Thanks for your tip!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
thanks everyone for the concern for my beep/no backup ... I should note i do have various backups, just not from the night before

on a more positive note the beeping is gone on my 5/8
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eregev:
Could you (or anyone else for that matter) post a 4/19 zip? I don't have a good backup to revert to and these current builds are driving me batty.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You are very welcome! If this does help in any way, please be nice and tap the Thanks button on the left side of my post. This is a very nice way to show gratitude in the way of giving someone formal recognition for assistance. You get 6 free "Thanks" chips per day to give anyone that helped you, someone else, or what you thought to be an inspiring or somehow meaningful post. Anything counts, even if nothing more than to make you feel welcome. So, the Thanks chips are really good for this. Too many people are cheap with them as if it would "come out of their lunch money" or something. Hah, hah! A lot of people really just do not get it, thinking this post must be "monumental" in the help or they will not drop a Thanks chip on the guy and just let them expire at the end of the day.

I do not use BT but I *love* to hear creative stories on how you got something done. Would you be so kind as to post your results, if it worked, and how you did it? If no one else, I for sure will give you Thanks even though I use Safe Strap, simply because I feel it is helpful to others and is a good post. Thanks buddy! :good:

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

I do not, but I *did* offer to make 04/27 and 04/28 available on request by dropbox or something. The Easter Sunday date is not carved in stone. That is when Micheal recalls the theme engine was introduced and it is giving all sorts of trouble. I never had real problems until May. That is when I really noticed we have problems and they will be here a for quite a while to debug and fix. Pretty much ALL of April are good so if it will help you, either are yours for the asking. Okay?

I have Safe Strap backups and did not save 04/09 because I didn't know all these problems to be would be cause by the new theme engine.

Meantime, If anyone does have 04/19, please make it available, dropbox or something. I would really like to have a fresh copy of that very stable build. Thanks! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eregev:
Ohmster,

More than okay.. The 4/28 build would be lovely. Thanks for your support and dedication!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chiahead52:
I will post here because its concerning the APN fix by Jake that was posted here.

I just bought a new phone from Swappa because my old razr maxx had a cracked screen. So, I made a backup in SS for old phone and restored it to new phone. Now I am plagued with orange bars constantly. I did not have an issue with this after I applied the APN fix from Jake. So, I re applied the APN fix by Jake and no change. Still getting constant orange bars. Its goes orange and then turns white for a little bit then back to orange. Seems like it keeps cycling back and forth. Its killing my battery. With this being a direct restore I cannot understand what could be different? I am using Liquid Smooth but posted here due to the APN fix by Jake. Any ideas besides a faulty radio in new phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I only have a backup for that one. But ALL of the April builds were stable and good. By the time May came around, the black screens, UI crashes, orange bars, and APN stuff really started hitting hard. What I do have is CM11 Builds 04/27 & 04/28, They were always stable for me, no serious issues, and I am quite happy with them. Either one of these should do the trick.

If you want the Bluetooth artificial speech, you must install the wrapper manually. If it does not matter to you, skip it and update again when the builds get more stable. Any one of these will get the bats out of your belfry. :victory:

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

They are up, look above this message. :cowboy:

If you do want the audio wrapper with instruction sheet to make clean artificial speech, the wrapper zip file is at the bottom of THIS POST. Grab that wrapper zip file and follow the instructions. If you never use google speech for dialing or searching with Bluetooth, then skip it.

UPDATE:

Added 04/19, thanks to Emil Folsom, ef141. This is the *last* build before the new theme engine was put into cm11. It has issues such as orange bars at times. I do not find it troubling as the phone and Google seem to work fine. No crashes, black screen, or lockups in this build.

Chinkster, try 04/28. Either clean or if you are going to try to "downgrade", I just asked this question to the group and Omegadrive had success with this method in HIS POST HERE.

Not sure why you are having Notification/Quick Settings panel issues, but you may can save this issue. Repeat the flash with the "good copy" 04/28 and use Omegadrive's method of doing this by "manually by deleting system/davlik/cache partition and then installing older just in case, then pa-gapps micro." (Quote Omegadrive)

These are the only late April builds I have. Anyone with other Mid to Late April builds is welcome to contribute. There was a guy several pages back that made some earlier builds available. I will try to look for them.

Please make your contribution of Mid to Late April builds to my Public dropbox folder here:

krestian had offered older builds but that was quite a ways back. I did PM the guy to see if he has anything mid to end April. Fingers crossed. On 04/19 myself, right before the theme engine and it is nice to see the phone work all the time again.
