excuse me.. i dint knoe if this appropriate room to ask this question.. can we use other kernel or the stock one is best?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
You could use this kernel. The word "best" is subjugated to how you use your phone.

Good choice, Bob!

The JBX kernel was a favorite in here for a very long time. It comes with the Aroma installer so you can remove the kernel if you wish and customize it during install for the kind of kernel you want. A very good kernel for this rom.

Bob is right, it depends on what you expect from "a good kernel". It is like telling your friend that you want "a good car". To some that means fast, to others it means heavy duty, or 4WD, or turbocharged, or super light on gasoline consumption. Or, for most of us, we just take what the manufacturer gave us and enjoy the car. ;)

I don't know about the others, I think most of us have just settled with the kernel that comes with the rom. We waited like a year and a half to get a really good cm11 build with a good kernel and where everything works. Plus, not have any issues to speak of.

I used to install everything. JBX kernel, all sorts of Xposed Modules, widgets, and apps. Several of the apps and modules overlapped the system settings so if you set a minimum CPU frequency in one app or module, it could conflict with the system settings themselves, a recipe for disaster. I gave up on all the frills and flash and worked to get my phone stable at all times, and, I really like it. I took out SuperSU that I paid for to allow the built in superuser to work. SuperSU is probably the very best SU you can put on your phone, but what comes with the phone works quite well.

The biggest advantage that the JBX kernel that Bob mentioned is that you can overclock your phone from 1.2 GHzx to 1.3 GHz. Impressive! But it comes at the cost of stability, heat, and battery usage. It comes with various profiles. I once put mine into "Performance" mode and it ran at 1.3 GHz at all times, gave me rocket powered Antutu Benchmark scores, and then promptly froze up the device. I gave it up after that. I need a phone that works ALL OF THE TIME, not one that gives me impressive numbers at times.

When you install JBX and Trickster together on your phone, you will have access to so many intricate settings of the device that it can become very confusing. Any of these settings when incorrect can not only degrade performance, but lock up the phone, shut it down, or fry the CPU. Keep that in mind when you go kernel shopping or better yet, give the build in kernel a fair trial and use some of the performance tips in the Online Guide in my signature.

Thanks for the link, Bob. Good luck! :)

oh.. thanks.. for your reply.. i had installed jbx the latedt version.. but aftet its booted the.. process something.. fc.. like that thethe phones.. can not be use because of FC.. anw i think this is a 'bug?

after pressing off the mass usb setting.. in transfering data. the phone Will get soft reboot.. my cm version is 9/1.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well, before upgrading kernels or anything else, all of us here make sure that we have a proper, working, cm11 system. Did you have a working cm11 system before trying JBX? How long did you have a working cm11 system before installing CM11 and did you have ANY problems before installing the JBX kernel?

(This is why myself and a lot of us here just use the stock kernel. It works very well and the ONLY thing that JBX does "better" is to overclock the device. Overclocking means instability so most of us do not use it.)

So, what state is your phone in and how long did you have a properly working, stable CM11 system on it? Or did you just install cm11 and JBX without bothering to test out cm11 prior to upgrading the kernel? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crimson88:
Hi guys, remember this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62256167#post62256167

So I got rid of CM11 and switched to PAC-ROM KK20150118. I thought the problem occurred because I was using a virtual slot so I installed it to the stock slot. It still persist and so far I gathered that any ROM with CM base will give me the same bug.

Just wanted to give that little update since I can't pinpoint the source of the error. Cheers.

I had this problem before too. When you install JBX, make sure that you do not select the 10% battery mod. When you do this, process.android.system will not FC.:thumbup:

Now that this is mentioned, I used to use an app to tune my violin (now I use a snark) and after some time, the app wouldn't register any sound. Wiping the app data didn't help at all. The only thing that helped was to reinstall the ROM. I'll definitely look at the above link.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Ohhh, thanks [MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION]! Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. The tiles really did not give any information, just that weird blue dot. Now that I see what I am missing, I have to fix this. I am running Neon 4.38 and just got the 4.44 version. I will remove Neon 3.38, install the 4.44 version, and try again. Then let you see/know. I better make a backup first. Good looking out, Casper, thanks buddy! :highfive:

EDIT:

Man, I cannot uninstall Neon Theme 3.38. I can uncheck the styles & fonts, but it won't uninstall. Not from Apps or Titanium Backup. The phone just soft boots. I tried to install 4.44 over 3.38 and it soft booted again when I tapped the apk from inside ES File Explorer. This sucks!

Well, back to desktop, off to Titanium Backup to see what I have. Neon Colors 3.38. This time I did a wipe data in TiBu and then Uninstall. It worked! Okay, now to see if I can tap to install the 4.44 apk. :fingers-crossed:

Hmmm, let me try it this time from CM11 File Manager since I have never installed an apk from there before.

Okay, Neon Colors CM11 is installing from CM11 File Manager. I had a generic CM icon in the file manager, but the real NEON icon came up when asked to install. Install completed. Now to try it out. Enabling theme now...

Okay, I got style and fonts. Yeah, I can read play store tiles now! Time to try it on Google Now Search Panel. I ditched CMHOME because it was a totally useless desktop that I never used since there are no more updates, and changed to something that might actually work like Google Now. Although it was pretty hard to read everything with Neon installed. I have no previous screenshot to show you but let's go see anyway. Yeah, it is good, all black and cards can easily be seen and read. Mic for OK Google is present and works. Hmmm, quite nice! To use OK Google without tapping the mic, I have to enable it. This might drive my idle CPU speed up to 600MHz, let me see. Oh! It did not do that. Very good results, thank you, Casper! :highfive:

SafeStrap 3.75 failed to backup on my XT910

Hi, I've tried to make a backup by SafeStrap 3.75/TWRP on my XT910 (CM11-150901 SNAPSHOT). But it fail back to SafeStrap main screen right after I swipe "Start backup" and create an empty directory ONLY. Tested for backup to both internal/external storage and all failed. Does any one can help or some hint for which settings should I check? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh yeah, the exact same thing happened to me a long time ago. Take the check off "Compression" before making the backup. When I did that, I got good backups again. I did this for quite some time and then tried using compression agan and Safe Strap worked normally again. Don't know why this happens, I have an issue like that in the new version of TWRP on my tablet with the new Live Backup. Tech support told me to take off compression. Said there is an issue with some versions of busybox and compatibility.

I really do not care for Live Backup on tablet because it is MUCH faster to just reboot recovery and get it done than the slow Live Backup in TWRP while rom is running. Besides, I won't miss phone calls on a tablet.

Making a backup is what TWRP does and it does it well, Safe Strap is TWRP. It is a process of getting the size of the partitions, then making backup image files of the partitions. Now when you add compression, this create a whole layer of complexity as the CPU now must not only make the backup image files, but apply zip compression on the fly. Takes longer, is more work, but not any sort of real issue for a computer. But what does stymie computers really fast? "The unexpected". Imagine for a moment that for whatever reason, a particular file simply will not compress. The backup process would not "know what to do" and the backup would fail. So, to troubleshoot your issue Mr. Chen, first you remove the compression and simplify the process. If this works, you have your answer. If it does not, you have simplified the mess that still needs troubleshooting.

If not using compression does not work, then I don't know what to suggest off the top of my head but it is worth a try and it did work for me. Nice to see you again, Mr. Chen my friend! :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi, thanks for your tip and SafeStrap/TWRP is back to normal now. I uninstall/install recovery from SafeStrap app, then check/uncheck compress options. Now I can backup with compress disabled. Thanks for your help! :good::good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh *awesome* Mr. Chen! You can skip the PM, I got it now. Thanks for the reply. We all need this kind of feedback so that others with similar issues will know if a particular tip has been successful or not. Yours was. Especially the part about uninstall/reinstall recovery. I missed that part and it is very, very informative. That is good news. Thank you very much, Mr. Chen! :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
So... After a lot of testing I think that for KK, I'll accept CM11 as my final ROM. I wanted some features in the ROM but a lot I've managed to get through xposed modules like GravityBox and others.

One thing I couldn't get was to get the screen to come on when I took it out of my pocket. So for this I've installed Pocket Lock (which I'd previously used). OK, so screen now comes on when I take it out of my pocket. Sorted. But I still wanted lockscreen notifications. So for this I have installed Nils. And, although I haven't tested it extensively, it looks to do a good job.

The only downfall from running these two extra services would really be RAM usage. But I haven't had any issues yet. I don't though know the impact Pocket Lock will have on battery life, but I'll take it as it comes.

Now with my ROM all sorted, I'll move it into my stock slot and be done with KK once and for all.

Just wanted to share this with you all. I thought that it may be useful/interesting to someone.

That is a smart idea, I like it. What is nice is that you solved your own issue by assembling the parts you want into the rom and are satisfied with it. These phones are over 3 years old. I just don't see them running Lollipop well, and the next gen OS, and the next gen OS. At some point, it is time to get another phone. :)

Good tip, nice work, Casper. :good:

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] - I saw that too about Verizon. I'm in a similar situation with a big bill and I really don't use it to it's fullest potential. I'm actually seriously considering jumping ship to Straight Talk. Then also picking up a Moto X Pure. I do believe my days with Verizon will be numbered.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, I hear you buddy. At least you are a realist. There is no doubt about it. Unlimited data on Verizon goes up $20 a month, next month, until the next increase. I took a realist view on this issue and reviewed my personal cellular usage, voice, text, and data, for the past year. Not once have I gotten the $150 a month that I am paying for. I used 40 minutes voice time, maybe 15 text messages, and 1.7 Gb data, Is that worth the $150? Hell no! It never has been.

Yeah, we can hang on to these unlimited plans, for life, but Verizon is going to take away all of our money to pay for it. And when you never use that much data, just how long can you keep doing this? Not me, I am not paying the $170 next month, this has got to stop. Well, my bill is $120/Mi., the rest is taxes $20, and then late fees and insurance. Have I *ever* gotten my money's worth on it? No. Not ever. Could I ever get my money's worth? Yeah, sure, if my internet went down for a month and I used my phone for internet service, then I would get my money's worth, but it has never happened and is not likely to happen. So, I am going to move down to the medium plan and take the $45/Mo., plan, get my unlimited voice and text, and 2 Gb data for the month. Not only does that beat my $120/Mo. bill, it will happen *every* month from now on. And I can upgrade the service anytime to get more data if I need it and pay that month's bill.

I am not going to dump Verizon, they clearly have the best service and were honest with me when I called about this. I asked for no pressure, no plans today, just give me information and they did. Straight up. I can go to the store by my house and do this anytime I like. I will lose unlimited forever, but it is not a realistic thing to hang on to anymore. And, now I can finance a new phone if I like. I never had that before. Let us know how you do, [MENTION=6309629]dtiger1138[/MENTION]. Since I paid the bill, I will make my changes before November 15th, but that is it I'm afraid. Let us know how you make out or send me a PM if this forum is too dead for your liking. Thanks man! :cowboy:

So what is Straight Talk going to give you? This is what Verizon offers now:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/landingpages/verizon-plan/

Unlimited talk and text is across the board, but unlimited data is going away. I cannot afford this toy anymore.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
Straight talk's deal is $45/mo for the unlimited talk/txt, but also unlimited data that gets throttled to 2G speeds after 5gb. You can also choose whichever net work works best for you, VZW, T-Mo, Sprint, AT-T. Just have to get the proper sim card. I've been reading that there can be some issues with the verizon sims, getting phones on the network. A friend of mine did it, but she got the phone from ST. She's quite happy. I know her voicemail is still using the verizon system. I just want to also make sure I'll be able to have the voice mail forwarded to my Google voice, and use that. A lot of research ahead

Update: found out that on ST you seem to be limited to 5/down and 2/up for speeds on their VZW network, but get faster speeds (20mbps) if you use the ATT GSM network in ST. Also, you can't to do voice and data at the same time if you are using the VZW on ST, but ATT you can. Food for thought.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
2G Internet? What the heck is that? When my phone broke, I had 3G and that was horrible, just above dialup if you ask me. And you say there is a worse internet than 3G? Okay so you have 5 GB data. I want to get the 6 Gb for $45 from Verizon. As far as networks go, I don't think anyone can compare to Verizon. I have gotten rocket speed internet at 33 GBps almost everywhere. Thanks for the info. I'm going to do this last minute, see if anyone else weighs in. Good looking out! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I thought it was 3gb for $45 from Verizon? The 6GB plan is $60.

As for the speed limits, I think that's what Verizon does since you aren't an actual Verizon customer when on a ST plan. But in all seriousness, I've never hit 2 gb of data. Only time's I've gone over 1gb was when I did a lot of music streaming, watched some episodes on netflix, or did a bit of tethering. Now a days I can usually find a WiFi signal somewhere. I'll probably do it last minute too. As for VZW vs ATT network in my area, there really isn't much difference in coverage. I just liked that VZW seems to have more overall coverage of the country. I have friends who have ATT and have no issues, other then having phones made by a company named after a fruit.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah you are right. It is $45 for 3 GB. My bad. The $45 plus $20 in taxes puts me at $65/Mo. Insurance and late fees puts me back to $75/Mo. Now that is half of what I am paying now. If I can pay my bill up to current, then the late fee goes away.

Agreed. I do not use that much data either. I wanted and needed the unlimited when I had my own computer business, I could get internet and drivers anywhere with this phone for the customers computer in their home. Those days are long gone and this is something not worth paying for anymore. Saving $75 a month is really meaningful and will add up quickly. Finding savings like this is what is important when you are on Social Security or Disability. It is the only way to survive, pick and choose what services you need and cut all the extra slack. This past month I had a $500 car repair bill and that is money I do not have, AT ALL! I had to pay some and finance the rest with the shop. I needed extra "hundreds of dollars" this month (Hah! Good luck with that!) and sure enough, I got enough computer work to make it happen. I am constantly looking for sales, savings, and extra money. So the unlimited no longer makes sense. Especially NOT when it goes up another $20 a month in November.

I am sure the AT&T phone would be good, I just want to lever my long time customer status with Verizon for all I can get. I will miss that unlimited but only by memory, I just do not use it that much. Not enough to pay a "double phone bill" or higher, just for the status of hanging on to it.

Alright [MENTION=6309629]dtiger1138[/MENTION] I think we have good plans for the phone. Wait now and see if anyone else comments but I would not get my hopes too high in here anymore. I am going to wait up to 11/15 to do this, if you do it sooner will you let me know how you like it? I will do the same. Thanks buddy! :highfive:

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

I had to laugh today. I think VZW is spying on me. I got a txt and a phone call from a local retailer saying, "Hey, you're eligable for an upgrade. Come in and see what we have. We also have a deal with a free tablet with a phone upgrade if you're in the market for one."

1) I am looking for a new phone, but probably won't buy it from them. And also thinking of leaving.

2) I have been looking at getting a new tablet.

They have to be watching me!!

Anyway, more on the ST vs VZW debate. I was looking into seeing if you can use Google Voice for your voicemail on ST. It looks like they do not support Conditional Call Forwarding (CCF) which the carriers do. So it wouldn't matter what network you are on. Not sure if you can force the phone to use GV if you have the app for it on your phone. I'll keep looking into it, but this might be the deciding factor for me. I like being able to read the messages, or what google thinks they said, in hangouts. Probably should put all the info into one post at some point.

And as for a new phone, I think I'm pretty set on the Moto X Pure. I was looking at the XDA section earlier. Already has a rom out for it, and root method, and safestrap (Tsomething something P). Think there's a W in there too.
