CyanogenMod 12 is Android 5.0 - 5.0.2. The final and only snapshot of 12 is the finalization of the old 5.0.2 code. CyanogenMod 12.1 is Android 5.1 - 5.1.1. It is still in nightly phase and will probably stay that way until CyanogenMod x with Android M is released. Then I'm guessing that 12.1 will announced stable with a snapshot.

I am in love with the Final "M13" "Stable" Snapshot of CM11. It is incredibly smooth and lag free. I am now using CM11 instead of CM12.1 because the final build of CM11 is so good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, I have been caught up in a lot of personal stuff myself. No, fstrim only works on the stock slot. I cannot say that I "notice a difference", but I did put cm11 on stock and run trim on it, nice to know it is working. But you are not missing anything noticeable if you do not run trim. Most of us have never used it or have been able to until we put cm11 on stock.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I use Dolphin browser on my tablet, but Opera on my phone. I like that Opera let's you resume downloads. I have also used Puffin, and almost all of the others, but keep returning to Opera.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Krauzaa:
Guys, there is any difference between clean install of this snapshot and update latest unofficial CM from Michael?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
There is no difference in the installation process.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Krauzaa:
I think about errors etc.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
There aren't any bugs or errors.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
This snapshot is pretty good. No worse than the unofficial ones I have been using. I will know more when I drive around and start to do some multitasking, but so far, so good.

I am not quite sure I understand why to go to CM12, it has a pretty short development cycle and then, "it is done". Is CM12 somehow "better" than CM11? At least cm11 works and I am familiar with it. Since this is my only phone, I am reluctant to try new, experimental roms on it. (Even though CM12 is now final, it still might have quirks that cm11 does not have.)

We have "old hardware", just how far can we push these things before they fail or we reach "tap and wait"?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Agreed.

Stay clear of CM12 (even if it is this so-called "final" build). CM12.1 is the better option. But on such old hardware, KK still wins hands down I think. LP is good though. I like the PAC-ROM and it does work well, but still not as good as KK (I notice it immediately when I go back into KK).

Sent from my Motorola RAZR Maxx (XT910)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rah_asia:
Agreed. PAC CM12.1 latest build is good although still kind a laggy even when using L-Speed. btw is there any difference between CM last snapshot with michael last build? if there is, what are they?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=5108953]rah_asia[/MENTION] there have been no recent changelogs published. These are reports on what has been changed from version to version. But that is usually done in development, not once a rom has become final and the only work being done are bug fixes and to make the rom run better or smoother. We don't know for sure what has gone into the last few roms that have been released by Michael as unofficial or CM as official. They are all assumed to be final and complete. Any incorporated features are alleged to work. So, at this point, you pick the rom that works best for you, on your device, in your location.

I am running the snapshot and it appears to be no worse than the latest unofficial release and if it is better, I cannot "measure it". The only issue I ever really had in the past few roms were black screens. Especially if a call or even a text was arriving at the point of screen timeout. I would get lit buttons and a black screen, very irritating because the chance of catching that call was slim. But it did not happen always or even frequently. So far, it has not happened with the snapshot but I have not tested it for days and have not run into the situation where this black screen is likely to occur. The snapshot runs well, I can stream audio through Bluetooth and use navigation at the same time. And if everything is good, I should be able to make or take a phone call or text at the same time. However, that is really pushing the limits of the hardware. If I find anything negative to report, I will. If I find the snapshot displays stellar performance, I will report that as well.

Use what works good for you my friend. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Dolphin Browser no longer working

Still using the new snapshot build. Seems pretty good. Stable, nothing crashing, nothing burning, seems pretty good so far.

I had always used Dolphin Browser with Kit Kat since I heard about it. It was fast, had a good amount of very useful plugins, sort of like Firefox without all the dead weight. I even froze the built in browser in favor of Dolphin. But, I have not been able to get results back from Dolphin browser at all anymore. Christ, by the time a Google search comes back, I would be on Social Security so clearly, this is NOT working anymore. So, I unfroze the built in browser and it works just fine. It is lightweight, snappy, fast, and actually works!

Dam, this is another case of "App Creep". Where apps end up getting bigger and bigger and start hogging more and more resources. That is really a shame, I liked Dolphin a lot. But I don't see this situation improving, EVER, at least not for a Razr phone, so I guess it is back to built in cm11 browser for me. It is fast and it works!

This really bites. I am already using Facebook Lite, that was a HUGE must, and now Dolphin is useless. What's next? What are you guys using for a web browser and how good is it? Be truthful and give a fair appraisal, please. Thnx. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] What do you think, in your opinion, is the most stable all-round build?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
Wow, thanks for the suggestions! I was literally talking about getting a new phone with my dad, and I brought up the Galaxy S4, but my dad just made me fix my RAZR's SIM card slot (Now I have to put a piece of tape on the top of every SIM card I put in it), and he bought me a new battery case for the back of my phone (The part above the camera snapped off when trying to take it off to fix the SIM card slot). I am thinking about installing the latest snapshot on stock using your guide, and installing the Liquid Smooth 5.1.1 ROM on Slot 1, as I have heard that is is stable and smooth, as per the name. Have you heard likewise? Again, I'll put your suggestions into consideration when installing the ROMs on my phone. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
Hey, no problem. My dad confirmed that I will not be getting a phone for another year or so, but he has allowed me to get a new tablet, preferably 7-9 inches, as my Kindle Fire 1st Gen is dying on me. I do like this Droid RAZR, and I understand why my dad want to hold back in getting me a phone, as he just bought himself and my mom new iPhones. I do appreciate the fact that he will buy me a new tablet though, for the school year. I am fine with this phone though, as I use it only for emergencies on PagePlus pay as you go $80 a year. Any recommendations for tablets? I really want something with a SD card and a camera, and a good development community.

EDIT: I really don't need the SIM card to work, it is just an added bonus and allows me to get lollipop, which requires me to have a SIM card installed to place calls, etc. I did buy the battery cover I was looking for here: Verizon XT912 Battery Back Cover, and the SIM card seems to be snug in it's place after making it thicker by putting a layer of tape on it. I appreciate your concerns, but I have myself covered. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rah_asia:
thanx [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], as always u are very descriptive.:good:

The snapshot build cant take screenshot, i just knew it last minute :D.

i never had blackscreen problem on calls or other.. the last 3 builds was working fine on my phone. i try snapshot build hoping maybe the battery can be less drained, so my razr can last for 2 days :D, on heavy duty my razr could only stand 12-24hours :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
Well, it's the SIM card, but same thing (They have a similar mechanism to lock the card in place). I figured it out by first thinking I could make the top of the card sticky by putting tape on it and taking it off, but then I realized that a wedge would be more reliable. [MENTION=5108953]rah_asia[/MENTION] Can you not take screenshots on the 6/26 snapshot build? That is something I will take into account when I install this build, but are you on a XT910 or XT912? I will test it once I install it (In a few minutes). Thanks for the testing on this issue, though!

EDIT: Backing up the stock slot right now before installing the 6/26 Snapshot build. Can't wait!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Using SNAPTSHOT 06/26/2015 and screenshots take just fine. I can use either the APM+ Xposed Module power menu to do it or hold Volume Down + Power to take a screenshot. I am using the sypder build for XT912, not sure what [MENTION=5108953]rah_asia[/MENTION] is using, an XT910 I think. Should not matter, screenshots work just fine.

Screenshot attached as a demo.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
Yeah, I just installed and was able to take a screenshot using the Volume Down + Power Button combination. Seems like I will be staying on this build, seems smooth, sleek, and most of all, reliable.

Hey [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] Every time I try to install the 'Google' app from Google Play, I get the "Insufficient Storage" error, while I have 1.1 gigabytes available on the internal storage, and 1.5 gigabytes available on the SD card. Any help? I really only use the Google Now launcher, so it is very important for me.

As I previously stated, installing this also gives me the error (I did sideload it from that exact site). I don't know what the problem is:crying:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sd_shadow:
tried placing it in /system/apps fix permissions, reboot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
I had already tried that prior to posting, that didn't work. I did set the permissions to RW-R-R, and rebooted, but it didn't work. I think I should wipe cache/dalvik. That may fix it.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Well, I guess I fixed it by reinstalling the whole ROM, I hadn't installed any apps, so it was fine. Now that everything works, I am ready to rumble!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] A wipe and reinstall of the ROM fixed the issue. Thanks for your suggestions, I bet I will use them in a case when I need them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rah_asia:
[MENTION=4551511]Vlasp[/MENTION], [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION].. My bad, i push the wrong button (power+vol up+vol down) :D :laugh: the screenshot is working perfectly indeed.. sorry guys. btw im using xt912
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I've got a problem. I cannot reinstall Netflix from TI or the Play store. Here's the history: I installed the latest snapshot (I did do a TI back up before) and all was good. Moved more apps to my SD card, Netflix was one, and ran updates for all the apps that had some coming. Then last night while at a friends I went to look something up on Youtube. I didn't have a WIFI connection to their network (usually do and still couldn't connect) and also issues with my data connection. So I do a soft reboot. Still no WIFI, but could do what I wanted over data. Today, I found out I was missing apps on my phone. I opened TI and saw that all the apps that I had moved to my SD card were no longer installed. I started reinstalling them from TI. When I got to Netfilx, it said reinstalling a system app, I just said ok and went. This might be mistake #1. It said it was installing Netflix for a long time, like a couple of hours. So on my next brake, I just did a full reboot. To my surprise all the other apps that had been moved to my SD card, that were missing and I didn't reinstall, were back, except Netflix. Since then I have tried to install it from the Play store, and I get the error "can not be installed in the default location", and it just sits on the neverending "installing" when I try with TI.

Any suggestions?

CM11 final snapshot

x912

not sure what other info you may need.

Thanks

UPDATE: I have netflix on my tablet (rooted acer A100, yes i know it's old, stock rom). I took the backed up file from TI and extracted the APK, and moved it to my phone and tried to install it that way. Only got a message that said, "app not installed".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No Problemo my friend. We all do stupid things sometimes. You might want to try Advanced Power Menu+ (APM+) if you used Xposed Modules. This one does not slow down your phone, it only modifies the Power menu you get when you press the Power button. Screenshot attached for you to see. Very easy way to grab a screenshot at any time.

It is colorful and pretty, the Reboot menu will open up with choices such as soft boot, reboot, and recovery, all in nice colors, all work perfectly. And the module itself takes away NO power from the phone. Just another option for you if you would like to try it. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
OK, I'm thinking to try this snapshot out.

Currently I have settled on PAC-ROM's last KK build as my final KK ROM. It works and it is feature-packed. I have become so dependent on all these nifty extras that I don't know if CM11 will win me over as to choose it as my final KK ROM. But I can't neglect this snapshot.

I will of course use Xposed. I use it, but not for any UI changes apart from the navigation bar (gravitybox) and status bar download progress.. PAC does the rest. Otherwise Xposed is for stuff like greenify, amplify, power nap, YouTube adaway etc.

On CM11 I guess a bit more Xposed.

Monster UI Xposed is quite interesting if you want a Lollipop feel. A little buggy, but works for the most part.

Anyways., I'll flash to a ROM-slot as soon as I have some time during the day.

EDIT:

OK, my attempt failed. My gapps package is refusing to install claiming incorrect architecture. Strange - same package works on other KK ROMs. Will have to download a newer gapps package tonight at home.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Krauzaa:
Casper, when you test cm enough, said something about speed and reliability comparing CM11 and pacman rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I will do so. But it seems there are problems with the June 6 gapps build that I use, so might need to wait for the next build before I can test.

Sent from my Motorola RAZR Maxx (XT910)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Any gapps are good, [MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION]. Even older ones as they update themselves anyway as a background service for core elements and apps will show up as app updates. I had good luck with these, the Minimal Edition was just what I wanted.

[GAPPS] The Gapps Central - Consolidated Gapps [Updated 30-04-2015]

At least one person said it would not work for him. Heck, I have even installed with few month old pa-gapps and they did update themselves.

Shadow has a "Mac Daddy List" if you want to pick through it. The Minimal gapps I am using now came from that list. Good luck, bra! :)

EDIT:

Hey Casper, (Or anybody familiar with pac-rom.) I never tried PAC-ROM before. This looks like a real serious effort went into this rom. Not like some guy at XDA is trying out his own twist on CM11. Looks like a solid bunch, kind of like CyanogenMod. That is a really good thing, I like roms that have lot's of support from the developers and users. What are some of these "nifty extras" that you are talking about? I know cm10 and cm11 but that is it. Tell me what other kind of extras that they can throw into a ROM to make it better if you got a minute. Thnx! :D

WOW! I just spent some time at the PAC-ROM website and looked all over the place, especially the screenshots. I cannot believe how big of a production this is! Equal to or better than CyanogenMod! I stick with CM because it is a very big outfit, they have great developers, and when you have a big group producing the rom with support and extras, it makes for some very spectacular roms.

Since I settled on cm11 for stock, I finally have sdcard room for another complete rom slot, not like the last disaster when I tried PA on a 1 Gb slot. This can have a fair chance. I was thinking of maybe cm12 for slot 1, but that is going to be more of the same, with a LOT more problems, and some interesting (hopefully) improvements. The whole idea of sticking with CM is to have a large group behind the rom and Pac-Rom certainly is not lacking in that department!

Hey, [MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION], did you take a good look at the PAC-ROM screenshots? The site uses some kind of weird javascript buttons that made it a bit difficult on Firefox to get to the Extras. I had to go to the forums first, then I could see the drop down Extras menu with screenshots. The screenshot I really want you to see is attached to this post so you don't miss it. Check it out, LED Control and right there is the master switch, "Flash LED while screen is on". Isn't that what you have been wanting all this time? Did you try it? Does it work the way you want? This looks *really* good to me. I might want to give this a whirl.

Can anybody tell me what they like best in PAC-ROM? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
PAC-ROM KK is what I have in stock. I also have PAC LP (very good but still LP) in a ROM-slot. It has a lot of nice features.

I'll try naming a few:

-Lockscreen notifications OR ambient display (notification preview when phone is locked).

-Pocket mode: activate screen when taking out of pocket (choose if always or only when there's a notification(s)).

-Pie controls: better than gravitybox's.

-App bar: open a bar on either side of the display with app shortcuts of your choice.

-Customisable progress bar.

-Customise system animations.

-Battery bar: have a battery bar above status bar or (if activated via gravitybox*) above or below navigation bar. Found under status bar settings.

-Gestures anywhere: choose a gesture and link it to an app of your choice and then easily open apps with gestures.

-Dynamic status bars: best performance I've seen. Can also adjust navigation bar colour (activated via gravitybox*). Make sure to choose "Screen color" as the mode.

-Heads-up (notifications).

-Halo (notifications).

-Customise recents: add a RAM bar, have a slim recents panel, or use omni switch as your recents handler (think it comes from Samsung or HTC or whatever).

-Image based on time in notification header of notification drawer (I've just started playing with this.. It seems the picture is not staying.. too early to conclude though. Might just be conflicting with the below item..).

-Weather information in notification drawer.

-Network speeds in status bar.

-Floating mode: run applications in floating mode when opening via Heads-up (probably also Halo) if configured. Applications will open in a small window above current app. This allows you to quickly respond to a message for example and then continue where you left off. Can also open in floating mode via a long-press on the notification.

-and many more...

*if you activate the navigation bar you need to choose the size you want in gravitybox and then go to buttons (settings>PAC settings>buttons) and adjust the size there to something similar.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I tried Pac a long time ago. It was good, but I really wanted "clean", not Pac-Man everywhere... I think I will give it a try again, though. Still have AOKP on stock. Tried LS Lollipop, but makes phone way to slow. I haven't "played" with ROMs in a while, because this one just "work"...

Since you are here, can you or anyone explain why my sd card would suddenly stop being read by phone? Out of the blue. Card is fine. Put in card reader, reads perfectly. Put in phone, nothing. Can't mount at all. I tried a different card in phone, and it read it fine, eliminating the thought that is was the actual sd slot failing....

Bought a new card, no issues. My pc has a card slot and 4 USB ports, so I put old card into reader, new card into a USB converter/reader and just copied everything. Phone works fine and reads all from card.

(When I tried putting the "new" card into phone, connecting to pc and copying that way, it wouldn't work, hence the work around of the 2 card readers.

Any thoughts as to why this happened? Both cards are SanDisk 32GB cards. As stated, original card is fine, just not mounting in phone...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
[MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION] - sounds like a hardware ID number got corrupted somewhere... I've seen similar happen on a PC before, but on there, it's fixable via finding the right registry key and deleting it. On our phones... I've got nothing on where to go to fix it. A Clean install of the rom *might* take care of it (i'd place it at about a 75% chance), mainly since a different card works fine. I know it's kind of a blanket "fix" to reload the whole ROM, but unless somebody knows a more specific file/value that could be edited/deleted, it might be the only fix!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
Thank you for the quick response, [MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION]! Since I already opened and put everything onto the new card, I am not going to bother chancing it. Since I know the older card is still good, I can just hold onto it. Both daughters have phones that take micro SD cards. One has the Galaxy S4 with a 32 Gb card, and the other has the Xt912 with a 16 Gb card.... So.... No worries!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
Just happened to be checking back in here at random!

Glad to see the Razr got one last official build which seems to be fairly solid for everyone. I'd love to play with it if i had the time.

Since I wasn't holding onto a grandfathered unlim data plan, I broke down and got S6's for the wife and I.

One part of me is sad to not have anything to tinker with, but another part of me is all WOO NEW PHONE still. It's a strange feeling.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] and [MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION],

There aren't any Pac Man elements in the PAC ROM, expect for their custom wallpapers (it is like CM Wallpapers) and bootanimation, which can easily be replaced manually or by a theme. All the rest of the ROM is straight AOSP (Android Open Source Project) /CyanogenMod based, and packed full of great features.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Good looking out. I didn't think it would be ridiculous after seeing the home website for PAC-ROM. Too much serious effort went into that rom to mess it up with cartoons. I was going to try it anyway. It is good to have some sort of backup, even though I am pretty well satisfied with CM11. :)
