Yes Ohmster has answered you correctly. Installation process is quite straightforward.

I love this AOKP build very much. I'm a little unsure though if battery performance is a little poor on it or not - although I never run out of power unless I really worked my phone hard.

Actually, just to see if AOKP will be the final KitKat ROM for me... I've installed LiquidSmooth since I've never tried it. I didn't have good expectations after seeing the boot animation.. ROM looks decent enough. Had problems with the AOSP keyboard and had to install the Gapps Google Keyboard add-on. So that wasn't too bad. Then, reboot to recovery did not work - that's a really tough one to see past though. I did a normal reboot and then missed my opportunity to enter Safestrap... I kind of need reboot to recovery.

Anyway, it was like midnight and since I must be up at 5am, I had to stop playing around in the ROM. I will check more of it out during the day (I'll just look past the reboot to recovery issue - can't allow that to put me off).

But for now AOKP takes the cake for me.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dwh2o13:
Thanks so much! I"ve run Liquid Smooth in the past. Liked it for a long time then something came up within the ROM to push me on to something different. Sorry I can't remember now what that was. As I recall, DumbleCore was a big user of LS. I believe he was set up with a custom kernal and really had things running smoothly as you might have guessed coming from him. I may try to restore my old back up of LS and find out what caused me to move on. If I find out, I'll let you know.

On the topic of AOKP, I tried to download the zip from the OP Ohmster shared, but it just says file not available. Is it possible I might get a copy from a safe location elsewhere you know of??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Official AOKP support for the RAZR ended, and that's why the builds they list are so old.

Besides no official support, the KitKat days are over and not even the official devices are getting anymore updates.

[MENTION=222128]tonyt[/MENTION] built his RAZR AOKP ROM from source for us (just because he can). There is nothing more he can really do though. Nothing more to build, unless he can look at some minor kinks, but I don't believe this is entirely his field.

BTW: I put up an AOKP ROM for the XT910 on page 21 of the AOKP thread. Just with some minor tweaks that I thought were important enough.

AOKP, it's a good ROM, and really, what more do we still need out of KitKat? I think I am at a point where I'm just happy to have a good working ROM with good features (it doesn't need to be the latest and greatest).

If [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] is working well with CM11, that's good; and who is anyone to tell him it's not? We are here to help and share our experiences.

[MENTION=5212827]dwh2o13[/MENTION] I actually did flash a LS ROM (provided by [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION]) to another slot. It's not bad, I actually like it so far. It luckily has the same features as AOKP. If it didn't, I don't know if I'd even bother testing it much further. But I've really become very fond of AOKP and am keen to stick to it. But I must test and make a decision. I think battery life is really the only thing to try and compare here. If you find out what put you off LS, let me know..

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I started using CM at 6 & 7 on my Milestone (but I first tried MIUI which I loved at the time). Then my next CM journey would begin on this RAZR, but skipping CM10 and moving on only at the release of CM11. I was very much for the CM brand, but after so many releases and just not really getting to the point where I was content (I had a similar experience on the Milestone) made me start looking at other projects. I didn't want to, but I did. You see, CM is so much more larger than the other projects with a big community. It's always a wonder how/if these other projects will stay committed and continue.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, I am kind of disappointed myself in seeing Kit Kat have such a short run. At first I thought it was just our phones because they are older devices, but it is happening across the board for most devices. I have a Galaxy Tablet and I still get CM11 updates for it but don't really bother with it anymore. Since cm11 development is officially over, what I really need is a November or later build of cm11 where everything works, works good, is slick, fast, responsive, and does not hang up and I am all set. That is what 11/07 does for me. Exactly that, so that is my end of the line cm11 rom.

The minute I saw, who was it, Bobcus post that Lollipop Android 5 was going to be offically released within weeks, I sort of knew that it was a game changer and most non-cm12 builds would slow to a crawl and stop. Now that Android 5.0 is out, who in the world would even want Kit Kat or Android 4.4.4?

...me. I would want it because I know it will take at least a full year to get a good, working, dependable Lollipop rom for the phone so what am I supposed to use for the upcoming year, Jellybean? Nah!

In the blue text of my post above this one is a Tonyt. quote.

So he uses both CM11 to get the Kit Kat rom from and AOKP to put the window dressing on it to make it an AOKP rom. Since there are no more cm11 roms, he cannot make anymore AOKP roms. :(

All he could do, really, is to find other, older cm11 rom source code to merge with AOKP and he would be compiling "older roms", not newer builds. So it looks like we are all in the same boat. No more cm11 code means no more AOKP Razr roms either. Pick the best, latest, working well built rom you can find from your brand of choice and call it a day.

I am like you. No need to "update right away" or anything like that. What I have now, cm11 where everything works, nothing is broken, it is speedy and runs good, and does everything I want my Razr to do. So why would I want to "upgrade" this build? There is nothing better to upgrade it "to".

If you have the unofficial Sherri copy of AOKP Kit Kat for Droid Razr phones, it is installed, it runs well, it does everything you want for it to do, then why update and what to update to? :rolleyes:

Looks like my ever-so-faithful 11/07 CM11 rom will be on the phone for at least another year. Goodnight my friend! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Just because code changes in CM11 have stopped does not mean that you can't compile ROMs from source anymore. It just means that there will not be any difference between a ROM that was built in February and one that was build in March.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tonyt.:
aokp

Hi, if want the AOKP builds are here:

SPYDER

UMTS

Axxion will have a delay because framework is getting a lot of errors and Sira wants to build 5.1, so I have time to make AOKP LP and BlissPOP

I can build AOKP 4.4.4 until I die, but as Ohmster said the source code won't update anymore so I'll build the same ROM(with the same features and the same base) all the time, I know that AOKP 4.4.4 have a big battery drain in Stock slot, maybe if I used other toolchain like Sabermod or Linaro this won't be a problem, but at this time I only want to build AOKP(I don't think I want to build the best rom in my life) and my other builds all are CM based and I used the same toolchain so I thought that the problem became from the ROM source.

Obviously lollipop will have all the features that kikat roms have and maybe more, this will take time(a lot of time) and Android 5.0.X/5.1 is supposed to give more battery life, so if you want, wait until lollipop have a solid base and pick up another rom if you want to update.

I like and really love making roms, but I only port it(take the sources and compile it), maybe some changes in the source I can do in order to activate or add some things in the rom, but no more, and my conection is slow so for example downloading omni sources took me abour 26 hours and that limits me.

No more to say, I'll do my best to take more and new roms for you, maybe this will be the last year with my RAZR

What changes happened in the December build? I've only ever seen the November builds.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=5709478]tonyt.[/MENTION]

Thank you Tony. It was very nice of you to make a personal appearance to explain everything to those that just cannot wait for a new build. I read your stuff and it is nice. You are the ONLY one making Kit Kat roms for AOKP that I could find. The AOKP source stopped at Jellybean for Razr phones. I know that you cannot produce new roms with the CM11 KK rom pretty much dead now. That is the foundation for your roms and it was a really good one. Lollipop 5 is of course going to be the next big thing but the timing of it's release really stinks. As soon as word spread that Android 5 was out and on the way, the interest in continuing development for Kit Kat practically died overnight. Anybody with ½ a brain can realize that a new Android 5 rom will take at least a year in development and Kit Kat was perfect not only to fill the gap, but to use and to behold, Kit Kat is really a HUGE step up from Jellybean.

What you are doing is actually pretty cool. Taking the CM11 base rom to get a darned good Kit Kat rom to start with, and then applying the AOKP code and style to produce a good running AOKP rom for Razr phones. I hear ya on maybe the last year for Razr phones. They were very good, still work quite well, but are aging fast. If it were not for money issues, I would have gotten a newer phone years ago. So, like you, this will probably be my last year with the Razr as well.

Thanks for your time and it was a pleasure meeting you, Tony. I can tell that you really enjoy what you are doing with roms and phones and there could be a great future in coding for you if you keep up with it. You have good experience to add to your resume for job seeking if and when you need it. Good luck my friend! :good:

PA GApps have been pulled!

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], [MENTION=4161843]ktimque[/MENTION]

TKruzze has stopped maintaining PA GApps packages... completely. Threads have been locked, downloads have been pulled from his servers, etc. Anyone know of other decent GApps packages that we can fall back on?

Thread's OP should likely be updated to reflect this, and/or set up another fallback download of a last known good PA GApps package for our phones to help until someone steps in to follow in TKruzze's footsteps.

[MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION];@Ohmster; [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]

Thanks for the heads up guys. OP updated with sd_shadow's page for GApps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Anyone having issues updating from Play Store?

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] thank you very much for helping with the pa-gapps backup and link! :good:

Wow, keeping our cm11 phones up and running is beginning to become a chore. It is like all updates and help for it have gone over to cm12!

Hey, anyone here having issues updating with Play Store? I don't do it automatically so I got notice a few updates were ready and there were quite a few. So I figured just get it over with at bedtime.

It is not working. Says in the statusbar "Paused, waiting on network connection". I have seen this before, I am on 4G and this should not be happening. I try an airplane toggle. Not happening. I try WiFi, not happening. I reboot, wipe, and try again, not happening.

I Google for this. One post suggested wiping cache and data for Play Store. Does not fix it. Another posts says to go to App Info on Play Store and remove all updates. The process may fail. Reboot and it should work. Once Play Store updates, the problem comes back.

This actually works and the updates are coming down now. But I see no "update" for Play Store. Only "Google". You think that is the Play Store update that is bad?

Anyone else here have issues with Play Store updates not downloading? Waiting on network? Anything like that where it will not download updates? What did you do about it?

Thanks! :)

EDIT:

Just checked again, yeah, the updates are coming in alright. I wonder how you "don't" upgrade Play Store or at least avoid the latest update. I just checked the Play Store for "Play Store" app. There does not seem to be one that you could update, but it does update nonetheless. How is this happening? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sd_shadow:
Looks like I have 5.2.13 with no playstore update available
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hmmm, Mine is working now after this failed uninstall updates/reboot. 5.2.13, same thing! Wow, and all the pending updates now went through. I do have orange bars at this time, don't think it is significant. I guess an easy answer for this issue is not forthcoming. We wait and see.

This 11/07/2014 cm11 rom is the best one I ever installed. The only issues I ever had were app related, not with the rom. Phones get more powerful, apps get more hungry. I bet this problem gets worse. :(

Thanks Shadow! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wow, you were not kidding, [MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION]! TKruzze did not just pull the plug, he pulled EVERY plug there ever was! I just decided to go on a short hunt to see how serious this is and yeah, it is very serious.

But allow me to remind everybody that gapps are gapps. All versions of Android require them. They cannot simply just "go away". We here have found that the Paranoid Android gapps worked very well with CM11 and were all encouraged to use them. So, pa-gapps it is, uh, er, ...was.

CM11 is not "Paranoid Android" so pa-gapps is not necessarily a requirement for CM11. It just turns out that they worked very well with our rom so we always used them. There are plenty of "Google Apps" or gapps packs out there. My Google search turned up many sources for gapps, including a LOT of pa-gapps. Android Geeks actually has a pretty good list of gapps for download. The pa-gapps are broken but there is a link for gapps like this:

Download Gapps for all Android 4.4 KitKat custom ROMs from HERE.

I have not actually tried them yet, but they are legitimate gapps designed for Custom Kit Kat roms and that is what we use, a Custom Kit Kat rom. It is too late at night for me to try this, but anyone installing, please try the new gapps and report back here if you could. The page is here:

Download GApps for Android

http://www.android.gs/download-install-and-flash-google-apps-for-android/

Or just Google for Kit Kat gapps and there are lots of them. although the removal of pa-gapps in it's entirety has really affected a lot of sites.

Google Search: kit kat gapps

OR

Google Search: android 4.4.4 gapps

You will find working gapps for cm11. I found a nice mini-modular pack this way on my last search above at http://highonandroid.com. They are out there, just have to search a little bit and as we find supplies, we can post them here.

Special thanks to [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] for filling in until a new source is found! It is really hard for one guy to fill in and supply ALL the roms and gapps to the public, once the developers pack it up and leave town. :(

I cannot say with absolute certainty at this point, but I am pretty sure that cm11 is mature enough to use most any "good gapps" that are available and does not rely on Paranoid Android gapps just to work. Fingers crossed! :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
You see..

Back in the early days of Android ROMs and GAPPS, things were a little more mellow (at least in my case).

You flashed your ROM and GAPPS and then just carried on. Yes, that is very much still the case now, except that PA-GAPPS really did a game changer in that they always provided an updated GAPPS package.

Before PA-GAPPS, usually the GAPPS you flashed were often months old, almost never to be updated again. It was merely about getting the Google apps on your phone so that you didn't start without an Android Market/Google Play Store for example. You were then free to update through the store. Look at the link [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] provided, it is a GAPPS from June last year.

To me this is not a major issue. I don't have to have the latest version in /system partition - I have enough space. I did usually update my GAPPS none-the-less, but now I'll just flash whichever is the last version I have (which happens to be 20150301_Full and then update). I was actually waiting for a release after 20150308 before I downloaded again, but then it never happened and wow, how rare all of a sudden.

:)

[Not that there aren't other GAPPS out there being maintained]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Hey [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

Always good to hear from you.

I was initially just using the mini pa-gapps until the new customizable pa-gapps were available. Then I moved to the full package and did an "Include Install". So I just selected what I wanted without going over our /system partition's size limit.

I was able to download CM11 11/07 from a post I found from [MENTION=3209035]farangcm[/MENTION] (EDIT: "farangcm" replaces "faragancm" - I tell you this to keep the relevance of bracketed text up next.) (that's from the top of my head, so I hope I have it right). Not that I'm really planning on using CM11 right now, but I might run it alongside AOKP just to see how I feel (battery life really the only thing I want to pay attention to).

I don't know what the verdict is for the umts_spyder's 11/07 CM build, but what the heck, I'm sure it's just as good. I also have the M12 snapshot - I heard it was fine, but it seems it's been long forgotten in favour for the older 11/07 build.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Edinho376:
Hey [MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION] do you have any link for CM 11/07 for umts_spyder? I'd like to try that . . .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Oh gosh, it is in this thread somewhere. I'm on my phone now, so can't direct you right now. I'll upload it later to my Mega account and post the link here.

Back in April 6, 2012 I decide that just sharing one link to a google doc would be easier than looking for a Browser bookmark or trying to remember where i read something 6 months ago.

So now I just add it to a Doc, it's not pretty but very easy to edit and share.
