That is a great idea, Dwillian. The free version does put to sleep everything but system apps and service. The 3 bucks will allow you to put system apps and services to sleep, but you are responsible to make sure you do not remove or put to sleep things necessary to run the phone. But the + button in Greenify is pretty easy to use. It will not suggest things that will break the phone. For example, I do see Google Search as something I can Greenify with the donation pack, but I would not do it because the phone relies heavily on Google services and this one I would leave alone. Google News, book, movies, and music are also system services, but those things are not important to the device, you can certainly knock those babies right out and the only thing that will happen is the battery lasts longer and the device may run a bit faster. Not bad, huh?

Go for it bra and let's see what you come up with! :D

LOL! You don't like it, Casper? I am going to pass because I install widgets that I really need, this is not one of them but might be nice for someone that wants it.

Uninstall it like any other app. From /Settings/Apps/ just like Morr said or drag the icon to top of desktop where it says "App info" and when it opens up, tap the "Uninstall" button. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Lol, Ohmster. On the contrary I like everything Motorola. Just wanted a heads-up before I tried the widget.

How's 2014/11/10 build? I flashed it but I'm not sure. It seems to run well, but I am seeing some lag (unless it just wants a completely fresh install).

You don't have it but you know how to uninstall it?

No [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION],he can't uninstall it like any ordinary app because it's not installed in the ordinary way,you must flash it through recovery and it's only a widget,there's no icon in app drawer.

You can disable it or uninstall it with Titanium Backup.

Thanks for the kind words Ohmster.

You know what a big concern for me is? It's how the ROM performs over time. We update so often that we don't allow it to settle. Yes, we are still beta testing here I know.

I don't mind at all if the phone is slow (it's oldish), but when I talk laggy, I mean it's close to unbearable. You know, when you want to show someone something and then...."just waiting, it's opening, almost there" - that's not a slow problem, that's when the phone is actually struggling.

10/11/2014 (I use the full date d/m/y to try avoid confusion) was laggy but now it seems OK...But given time it will probably start running slower.

27/10 was running fine for me, I loved it, but then, just shy of two weeks it started becoming slow. WhatsApp is not a major app to open, but it can frustrate me to open it. Once slow/laggy it tends to sort of stay slow until you intervene (cache/dalvik wipe or whatever), but this is not how things should be.

M9 did exceptionally well for me, but I think after a month things went downhill.

Maybe it's just me? I'm not sure... but it's what I continue to experience.

I do have a lot of apps (~160+ during "Android is upgrading") , but not many "background" ones. Still, the phone manages to run smoothly with all these apps, and then no longer.

I cleaned app cache using CCleaner and it seemed to help the phone a bit (while on 27/10), but it didn't last.

For now, I'll just continue to test the 10/11/2014 build.

CM11 Nightly - Nov 10, 2014

I am not sure if it is only my phone with CM11. I am currently using CM11 Nov 10, 2014. When charging the phone the charging icon in golden yellow with percentage charged shows offset to the right. But that is a minor issue.

With the phone charging with the phone on I tried using messaging apps like whatsapp/SMS, I noticed the characters appear from nowhere and suddenly message details will pop up while typing SMS. At one time when I was deleting the auto appeared characters it actually "sent" the SMS!!

Any one else experienced the above keyboard behavior? Is there anyway to resolve it? Please let me know.

I just use CM11 with its Trebuchet launcher.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Yes, it is as though your digitizer is done for.... But it's not that.

It's your charger. It will do it even on a stock ROM while charging.

Make sure to use the charger that came with the phone.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I see you already received answers, but yes since it was flashed in recovery it was a system app and since it was a widget there was no icon in the app drawer. So it would need to be removed with titanium or flashed over in recovery.

It is a nice clock widget but since I was not able to reduce the size so that the expanding side panels were viable I decided not to keep it and flashed the 11-11-14 nightly over it.

So far the 11-11-14 nightly appears to be running much better than the last couple nightly builds have. The last couple nightly builds were laggy, the SMS lagged and keyboards were not very responsive, chrome browser would freeze, ui crashed on me a few times, etc.

I know it's only been about an hour but 11-11-14 seems to be running smooth so far, hopefully it continues.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] farangcm:
Please forgive this late reply, but I just recently fouled up my JB stock slot, and wanted to replace it anyway. So I naively tried to restore different slot backups to stock on my XT910 and naturally they failed, so I thought my stock slot was unusable until I flashed it with RSLITE. Then I reread your post and thought I would venture giving it a try. And, lo and behold, it worked!!!. I restored a slot 2 Gummy backup made according to your instructions to the stock slot. I wasn't sure what to do with the Safestrap 3.73 installed on slot2. I started to run it, but chickened out and just left it installed and unused. Thank you for your most valuable post! :D

Figure of speech, ma'am. :D

LOL! :laugh:

You are really, really good at this, [MENTION=2971166]Sherri.[/MENTION] I have been on CyanogenMod since v10. Where did you start, v6? I don't know about decades in your case, but it is a long time. Point being is that, you are very, very good, Sherri. ;)

You are one of those members who post, and I pay strict attention. I never know when you will reveal some golden nugget from your treasure chest of experience, tips and tweaks! ;)

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Ahhh, thanks Morr. You know, I try like heck not to "pollute" the cm11 system because I am trying to teach others who are really frustrated and fed up with constant lags and other issues that never seem to go away. To do that, I have to practice what I preach. I just spent 3 days trying to get the stock Superuser back in the system and menu because I used SuperSU for months. I did it, but all I did was "put cm11 back to the way it was". Installing cm11 is one thing, but maintaining it and keeping it smooth is some kind of "fine art" or skill one has to acquire. I am getting better at it and when people change the system around, helping to troubleshoot is nearly impossible. So I tell everybody to keep it stock. So if it runs well in stock and they can keep it that way, then anyone is free to experiment with add-ons and custom kernels.

The widget it like the Lollipop launcher. Yeah, you can make it work with a lot of fuss, but really I don't need it or want people to install it that need help. You installed it, you wanted to play with it, it was cool for a while, then you took it out. That is good information.

I experienced problems with the last two builds and am staying away from them. 11/11 looks promising from the changelog so that one I will try. Thanks for the feedback and tip, Morr. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
I know you aren't asking me, but I have been using CyanogenMod since v7. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thank you Bob. I have to go back and look at post logs to find out all the experienced members I asked for help. With a v7 level in cyanogenMod, you are up there, buddy. I would not be surprised to find your name in the notes I kept. I am trying to write a Guide, Part II, Experience, and this part is very difficult. I am getting "the feel for it" but am sure this first run guide will not be perfect. But I have to start somewhere. Getting the feel for the phone and how it is running really is a skill to learn like "primitive hunting" or "fly fishing". Skills where some people are really good at, but seems mysterious. Like, how do they do that, how do they know?

After an install, freezing apps you don't need, uninstalling others you don't need, Greeinifying things, there comes a point where you "know" what runs and when. What does not run because it is not there anymore. When the phone is lagging and what might be causing it. I use a helper app, CPUFreq in Statusbar. This is one app that really does not load down the system and it is not only the numbers that help, but when they appear and how quickly they update that gives me information about the system. At some point, I hope not to need this app to run my phone. But for now, every little thing that does not load down the system helps.

Thanks Bob. Now I can ask you stuff when I have to. :highfive:

11-11-14 Nightly Build 'beware'

I flashed the 11-11 nightly and it seemed fine, until I rebooted... Phone process crashed, could not clear the popup dialog box it just kept returning almost as fast as I could clear it and there were no signal bars in the status bar. So I wiped it and restored my backup.

The PAC ROM pulls straight from cm11 so I went to slot 2 and updated it and it also worked fine until I rebooted the phone and it had the same problem...

In looking at the change log it looks like they made some changes in telephony so it may have broken something. It is about time for another snapshot build so maybe they rushed something through... Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Is it possible to move a safestrap backup from 1 razr to another without any issues?

Thanks

cj
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That is a really good question, Jack. I think maybe you can, only if it is for the same model phone and the same rom slot. Backup what works first! Then copy the backup over and try to restore it. Bear in mind, if the backup contains UUID information for things like media (The sdcards), this will not work. Then restore your "good" backup. If you do this, please post the results, I would sure like to know about it. Trying it and restoring another backup if it does not work will give us and answer a LOT faster than if we try to "figure it out". With a working backup in Safe Strap, I am pretty sure you won't get into any trouble with this idea.

There will likely be another member who knows more about this than me to confirm or nix this idea, give it a little time to see. We have a LOT of very experienced people here, some with more experience in certain areas than others. :good:

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Ugh! I know the most recent builds are not very good but now this? Oh my! I am willing to try it and report back to confirm this or tell you it can work. But with a bad run on nightly builds, it might not be worth keeping. :confused:

...ack! There are Telephony changes indicated in the Changelog for next build. This one might really be a total "bomb"!

You know, nightly build 10/07 is working SO well I really hate to screw with it. You want to grab it before it fades off the server? cm-11-20141107-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

You can actually "Downgrade" with the Dwillian Dump procedure. I will give Dwillian's quote on it. You just boot to recovery, wipe dalvik, cachen and system. Flash the cm11 rom and fresh pa-gapps, wipe dalvik and cache again, and reboot. This works really well and I am thankful to [MENTION=5362796]Dwillian[/MENTION] for sharing it. I do not do the optional Play Service Update.

Dwillian Dump:

I have done this and it works great for downgrades. :)

I have a copy of it on my phone and PC because I do not want to lose this build. :)

I'm trying to install 11/11/2014 nightly and I'm stuck on the cyanogenmod screen. I had 11/10/2014 installed but it was slow so I decided to try the new nightly but I can't get it to boot. I've wiped the rom slot, deleted and created a new one, wiped dalvik cache after installing, I've tried everything I know to do. Any thoughts on why it won't load??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That is odd, cm11 does work well and upgrade nicely. I just did the 11/11 build and there are reports that is has issues. Mine did self reboot when I did a reboot, before the lock screen fully loaded. This build may have problems, might be too soon to tell. Build 11/07 is really good, you might want to try flashing that instead.

I did make a guide for installing and maintaining cm11 on your phone. If you follow this guide, you should end up with a good running system. Want to give it a try?

How to install and maintain CM11 for a good running phone

Look up two posts and you will see a direct link for cm11 build 11/07. Use that build to install a good working system. Back it up in Safe Strap when done, then try your updates. Not all are good so if an update is not very good, restore your backup.

Dinner is ready, I will have to come back later. Good luck, [MENTION=2148113]p-y-r-o[/MENTION]! :fingers-crossed:

After trying as many different options as I could think of I'm currently flashing 11/07. It flashed over just fine and everything is updating. I don't know why 11/11 gave me trouble, I had no trouble with 11/10 yesterday.

On another note, I haven't been able to send MMS since installing cyanogenmod (i'm on 11/07 now).

Build Report 11/11

Just installed NIGHTLY Build 11/11 and the OTA install over a spectacular 11/07 rom went well. No hiccups, nice and smooth. It was reported that this build would crash upon reboot so I was eager to test this out. After the update finished, I did the AdAway host file update, then performed the Xposed Framework update and rebooted. The reboot went well and when I hit the lockscreen, the phone mysteriously self-rebooted. Odd. I allowed the reboot and when I reached my desktop, all seemed very well. I have attached a screenshot showing the build is installed, with my CPU frequency visible as a green 300M for idle 300 MHz top right, status bar. Nice.

I did one more reboot to check and this reboot performed well, nothing strange. Everything seems to work well in a timely manor, contact to navigation took about 1 minute. WiFi was smooth and fast to lock. I cannot tell you anymore than this, it will take a full day and night to determine if there are any issues or lag buildup over the next night and day.

Initial report for update 11/11 is good. Will followup with a final report in a day. Thank you for your participation in NIGHTLY Build Reports. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
NIGHTLY Build 11/07 is a really good build. Back that up in Safe Strap if it works well for you. You can always restore it if an update goes South on you, fellow. :)

Other members experience difficulty with MMS messages in cm11. [MENTION=2774395]my2cents[/MENTION] has been plagued by them. Usually there is some sort of APN issue associated with it. I personally do not use the built in My MMS app and prefer Go SMS Pro, free version. I like it better and have been using it for years with no issue.

NOTE: Go SMS Pro has updated to version 6.0 and everyone hates it, including me. I revert to my Titanium Backup of version 5.61. You can still find this version by Googling for it, the apk file is readily available for download because v6.0 is such a bomb. If you want it, it can be found at the link below.

You can download the APK file of GO SMS Pro 5.61 from the link given below:

Direct Link: File Download at DevFiles.co

Whether or not you care to use this MMS app is of course, up to you. Good Luck, [MENTION=2148113]p-y-r-o[/MENTION]! :good:

You can also see and message your SMS and MMS messages from a PC here, sign in with your Google account.

Well it looks like it's working now with Go SMS Pro! :good: Thanks for the help and I'll be looking forward to the 11/11 nightly review! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] farangcm:
I don't normally use MMS, but if you do a search for "MMS" in this thread, you should come up with some hits. I remember that some people don't use the "Messaging" app but have downloaded some other app from the Play Store. Someone else only had trouble with a MMS feature from the iphone, "Slidehow" or some feature they couldn't get working. I think these were posters with the "Spyder" XT912. I tried sending a MMS to myself with the messaging app on my XT910 (I don't remember the build) and it didn't work.

re: the CM11 11/11 nightly, I am not having any major problems on the XT910. I am currently having a minor problem with the CM File Manager. It goes to sdcard0 (internal sdcard) by default, but when I press the three horizontal lines at the top left of the screen, nothing happens. It usually gives you the choice of going to sdcard1 (external sdcard). And if I press the menu button at the bottom of the screen, File Manager abends.

Hope this helps,

Allen
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh that is really good to know. I could not get anyone to try it out with text message issues. All I know is I never have issues with it. I am out of Thanks tokens for the day, but will try to get you back when they refresh tomorrow. Nice to hear that it works for you now. Go SMS Pro is a nice app, at least 5.61 is, not the 6.9 version now. If you have Titanium Backup, backup that app now before it updates on you. It will tell you an update is available and ask "Now or Later". I always say later but sometimes, it updates anyway and I restore the 5.61 backup. If you don't have Titanium Backup, at least keep the apk on your phone for when/if this happens. That is, if you don't like 6.0 where it is "streamlined" meaning all "the good stuff" in the menus like "Big Edit" when composing a message is taken away.

So far, 11/11 is okay, no issues. But time will tell and so will I. :good:

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Hey Allen,

It was my2cents with the slideshow and constant APN issues. I could never get him to try Go SMS Pro to see it work. He said he would try it but never got around to it. Now p-y-r-o has installed it and confirmed he can now send/receive MMS messages. That's nice. Go SMS Pro free is a good app, the 5.61 version anyway.

Wow, you are right about the cm11 file manager, tapping the 3 line menu, top left, does not work. But if you slide your finger from left to right, the bookmark and location screen, as well as settings gear, will appear. I guess it is now a swipe to right gesture instead of tap to open. Will be interesting to see if this remains or changes back. Thanks for the heads up, will have to give Thanks when I get more tokens tomorrow. Good looking out, Allen. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] p-y-r-o:
Well I might have spoken too quickly. It seems to not be working now. After 2 successful pictures sent I haven't had any luck on sending more....

update: If I force close the app and restart it the pictures will go through...kind of a pita but at least it'll send
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You are on 11/07 and got stopped after 2 picture sends? Were the pictures received? Have you received any pictures? Does a reboot or wipe cache/dalvik make it work again? Get someone to test out both ways and see what happens. :confused:

EDIT:

Depending on your carrier, it may be necessary to setup your APN config manually in Go SMS Pro. Do a Google search like this one, and you will see many people talking about this, plenty of them here on XDA. Here is another example of the discussion, Google can help you find the right one for your carrier. For Verizon, I don't think this should be an issue, AFAIK, but the APN issue was a battle that my2cents never did win. And we all tried very hard to help him with this issue. :(

See if any of this is helpful, Pyro.

EDIT #2:

Pyro, you seem like a really good guy. If you end up in the same boat as Frank, my2cents, we never did get him totally straight with his APN issues and man, we tried. I worked that poor guy to death. Wipe the rom slot, recreate it, flash ONLY cm11 and pa-gapps, boot and finish the setup wizard. Then check the SMS and see if it works. I know that this total wipe and fresh install yields a darned good working cm11 system. But, for whatever reason, we never could put an end to it, once and for all. And he has Verizon. He never did install Go SMS Pro and try to setup the APN manually, though. :(

my2cents is a really good guy, a teacher. And now he cannot "come play anymore". He took the Turbo update phones for himself and his wife, a good choice for his plan. But there are no known, working roots for that phone. So do not "kill yourself" over this. Do what you can, follow some of the suggestions to see if it helps. We will all help as much as we can. But not *everything* has an answer that we can solve. Just don't stress too much over it, okay man? :)
