OMG, there are like a million "Sherris" on here. How in the world did you get that @ thing to work?

Oh I get it. Hey, when I am in the car, I like to use the phone a lot, especially to play NPR, Slacker Radio, Google Music from my own hard drive, or TuneIn Radio. So I plug the HP jack into the aux input of the car radio. Good for calls too, I can hear them really well and can just talk at the phone. Not completely hands free, but pretty good. I really like new cars that have Bluetooth so as soon as you get in the car, you can make and take calls, and maybe even use the music, not sure if you can. Does the car dock do stuff like that? I would really use something like that.

Well, I like the TV on Android app, I was looking for a way to watch real TV on Android and DroidTV Primetime really seems to do it and the cost is not bad either, cheaper than Netflix. Now if it actually has a lot of really good channels like cable TV, that would be awesome. Problem with some of these pay radio and TV apps is they promise hundreds of thousands of channels but all junk, foreign stuff, things nobody ever heard of or would want to watch. I will have to look into that.

I think we made enough of a stink about the LED issue that anyone who could integrate it, should have seen the request by now or at least heard of it. What is the big deal, make it an option in Settings. It was nice to meet you, you are an awfully educated geek girl, what's not to like? :fingers-crossed:

I will keep an ear to the ground for your LED issue and PM you about it. Hmmm, I think everybody knows you want the LED thing by now so you have a lot of new friends who will look out for you about it. Take care, Sherri.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] awedel:
Yeah I had no luck with the 3/13 nightly either. Stuck at boot. Went back a few nightlies and reinstalled with no problems.

My DROID RAZR MAXX sent this on its own.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Does anyone have a link to 2/26 or 2/28? Those seem to have been pretty solid and for some reason I deleted them... Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
I use Textra now and before it ChompSMS. I bought the latter, very good for me, but when I was using the free version, I somehow tapped involuntarily an ad. Twenty minutes after that came a message saying I was subscribed to a paid SMS service. Our mobile carriers suck and they enslave us but just to tell you about nasty practices ad services cook with carriers and entertainment companies.

My XT910 enjoys 0311 with mini modular pa-gapps 0307. Using both stock and jbx kernels, ROM feels nice. No problems, no signal drop since Stargo managed to patch those UART hiccups.

Just battery consumption high as I told you. Many RILJ wakelocks.

Meneldur @ TF700t
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Yes, that's the fix for the bootloop.

I think 20140314 will be good again :)

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
I can happily confirm 3/14 is back to being a good build. Boots and wonderful. However the newest JBX 3/13 should be avoided at this time. It causes the camera to crash. With just 3/14 everything is fine.

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Confirmed here as well. Dirty flash into Slot 0 and all looks good. Look forward to seeing if the new fixes for data disconnect works. Thanks Stargo and all the developers for a great ROM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Bump. Still having trouble with locate device through my CM account (even on the 3/14 nightly).

Does anyone have a fix for this problem? I've tried deleting the device from my CM Account, deleting the CM account on my phone, and recreating the CM account on my phone. Still doesn't work.

Curiously Google's device manager finds the phone with no problem. There must be a problem with CM; either with CM11 or the CM web site.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Mine picks up my phone. It takes about a minute or so though. I'm on 3-14
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Mine hasn't connected after 5 minutes. I'm on 3/14 too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
what's the benefit of a CM Account? I skipped that during device setup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
nothing right now really besides the location part and remote wipe and you can do that with Google lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
It provides remote locate and wipe capability in case you ever lose your phone.

It's similar to Google's device manager which works on my phone so I'm relying on Google for now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
that is what I said above lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Hi Sherri.

I really miss the functionality that came with my moto cardock and JB. What app do you use for cardock functions? Thnaks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Agreed. 03/14 is a very good build. Boot time is good, WiFi is very good. Did Ookla speed test with and without WiFi. 17 Mbps down, 3.4 Mbps up on WiFi, 13.5 Mbps down, 15.4 Mbps up on phone data, Verizon US. All this while applications were updating from play store. GPS locks right in on satellites, 5/9 because I am in the house, this is very good, will jump higher outside in car. Awesome High Def camera operation. Signal bar is full. Phone "feels" rather snappy and fast now. I like this build a lot, will backup this install.

Just giving more data feedback to support Jake, his report led me to install this update and so far, this is good stuff! Way to go Jake for taking the plunge and reporting back on it. People like me depend on these kind of reports, thus I like to give my own detailed report as thanks for the valuable information that this forum provides. You guys rock, man! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Appreciation is all that's required. Its what we do. All for the love of the work we do and the enjoyment of all of you. Cheers!!

I am currently using Car Home Ultra.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Thank you for starting a new thread on the CM account issue.

When I log into my CM account at cyanogenmod.com and click on Account my phone is shown and it shows a last seen timestamp from when I first logged in from my phone after doing a clean install of the latest nightly (3/14). It also shows the correct CM nightly for my phone. I infer that my phone can communicate with CM, but CM cannot see/locate my phone for some reason.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mr-Glass:
That seems odd.. All three of my updated devices show location, also I noticed with CM it turns "Location" on - (GPS) even if you have it turned off.. I am not sure Google device manager has that capability... it may
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Appreciation you got, buddy! This makes us all feel like we, collectively, are all a part of something "much bigger".

Case in point: Operating System does make a huge difference.

Take any older Windows XP computer. Even a late model, pretty good one. You cannot run Windows 7 or 8 on it, or if so, it will crawl like a snail. So, the PC is obsolete. Throw it out and buy a bigger one. But install any flavor of Linux you want, and all of a sudden, that "outdated junk" performs magnificently. Up time can be years. Run servers, never hiccup, install updates without rebooting. Smooth as silk. Granted, if you do not have a decent video card and somewhat generous RAM, the desktop might stutter a bit, but even the 3D desktop, Compiz and the standard 4 desktops at once, blows away Windows, on the very same machine.

Now I have a 2 year old, $600 smartphone. A Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, XT912, Verizon US. 2 years ago, this thing blew away the competition. But now, the phone is so slow, forget about a 911 call, you would be dead before the dialer comes up. Or Maps and GPS. You would stumble on your destination or get so lost before you get the Navigation screen. Bad phone, throw it away? Try installing CyanogenMod version 11. The phone is fast as greased lightning, for the most part. Things like "Let's Golf 3" and Facebook no longer dog the precious memory and go to sleep or hang on to a sliver of memory to stay resident. The memory management in CM11 is incredible. Now throw in things like Xposed Framework modules. Holy cow! ...is this really the same phone? This is a GREAT phone with years of life left in it, thanks to CM11, and it is not even released "Fully Stable" yet.

How did this happen? The devs who donate their time and skills. The people here who support, report bugs and success, ask questions and provide answers, suggestions, and feedback. I cannot name all the people who have made an impact on me. Vanwho, Dwillian, Jake, tydiamond11, Stargo, hakarune, Meneldur, drewski_1, my2cents, chinkster, Mr. Glass, Welder, ...the list goes on and on. I know I missed a LOT of you but I remember all of your help.

Yes, we are all VIPs in our own right. Without all of us, working together, things like CM11 could not be possible. Thanks everyone. Take a well deserved treat for yourselves. You have all earned it. Like I said, CM11 is Great Stuff! :good:

...cheers backatcha, Jake!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
The beautiful thing is we are all part of multiple friendly and wonderful communities. I am a proud member of the CM, Droid RAZR and Development communities. Others of you may only belong to one or two of these or more if you have other devices. But we all (for the most part) are friendly helpful and always willing to lend assistance. At least I know I am :)

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I think we were responding at the same time lol.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
does 3/14 still say "roaming indicator off"?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You got that right, buddy. Oh, and thank you very much. Because of you, I just made 100 on my "Thanks Meter". Since so many others here blow me away with knowledge, experience, and assistance, this is a very big accomplishment for me. Well, "Thanks Meter" is just another cub scout merit badge, but still, I wanted those badges and had quite a few.

I tend to come and go, according to my devices. This has always been a #1 web forum where you could for sure find experts. And it was not easy to "break the ice here". I had to put in my time and realize as an individual, I could not just come here and demand answers. When I had my Droid X, I was all over droidxforums, had a couple of developer friends, and was awe stricken at what they could do. One dude, 1KDS made his own root disc, Linux boot iso images, six of them, so anyone could download the image, burn the CD, boot and root. Wow! Even at droidxforums, XDA was THE place to look up to. Even the women here tend to keep a low profile somewhat, but when they speak, they know what the heck they are talking about, many are senior members, and they do not tolerate any BS. Good for them, a guy cannot help but to admire a peer geek chick like that, with all due respect, Ma'am. <Nod and tip hat>

Jake, you could not have said it any better. We are friendly helpful and always willing to lend assistance.

Okay, back to the business at hand. Build 03/14 is so far the best. Has not given a hint of trouble all day. I cannot imagine what the final product will be like. The blacklist alone has rendered my own, top of the list pay apps, useless. CBlocker is an awesome call and text blocker, I have a lifetime Platinum license, friend of the developer. I cannot use it anymore. In the split second it takes for the app to block a call, CM11 has the job done already, causing the app to FC, job already done. WOW! Blacklist phone and text is the best I've ever seen! Goodnight everybody. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
No. Mine says Verizon Wireless now (after a clean install of 3/14 nightly and pa-gapps-stock).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Where are you seeing that, Chinkster? I never see that on my screen or notification bar, cannot even find it in Settings. XT912 Verizon US.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Look at the cell network icon under quick settings. It also shows on bottom of lock screen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oooooohh. The only place I can find "Verizon Wireless" is in About Phone/Status. See screenshot. You see it elsewhere, Dwillian? You can see in my notification bar that mine says LTE and that's it.

By the way, those ads I am getting in SMS Pro must be coming from the app itself. I am running the free version. See screenshot. AdAware is way better than AdFree. I have done a complete scan for hidden ad apps. It did find Accuweather to be offensive and I am now using a rather plain weather widget I found in the widget drawer. Anybody find a good weather widget to use without ads? Accuweather gave you a LOT of info and I really miss those animated Doppler radar maps. You would know if rain was coming, going, or right on top of you by the animated sequence of shots. Wish I could find a good replacement.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You are absolutely right, I see the same thing. Thank you very much.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

You're welcome.

Ooooohh. It has been a while since I went completely clean. Since the patches and jbx were no longer necessary, I was having nothing but problems. I figured it was due to old patches installed that could never be removed, just updates on top of swamp water. So, I went clean, got good results, and have built on that ever since. I did backup that install, I think I can find it in ES File Explorer rather than reboot to recovery. Let's just see...

...yeah, under TWRP on my SDcardExt. 02/02/2014. Ah man, I have to bite it again and go clean just to get on the CM board? Well, no rush since it is not working anyway. Perhaps we can get information between our two posts. I saw the replies you got, everyone danced around the issue but nobody gave you a real answer. That is really irritating but what can we do, we are asking for help. Take what we can get. Thanks buddy! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
This was a isolated issue for the 3/11 and 3/12 builds due to the removal of the Verizon branding from the cm vendor and the nightlies being pushed before it could be readded locally. It is only applicable to those builds all new builds will reflect the proper network.

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
jake, im not a developer or anything like that, i just like to tinker with my phone here and there. do you think i need the JBX kernal?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
just did a clean flash of 3/14. initially the MMS was working. after a reboot of the phone, i am unable to send MMS now even if i do the *228 trick to reprogram which worked with previous nightlies. any other ways to fix?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
JBX is a very good kernel for oc extra tweaks and speed. Do I think it is necessary for the non tinkering end user? No. If you know what you are doing and want best performance speed and battery wise then yes use JBX. However not at the current build as the current build breaks camera. I am using stock cm kernel right now. I am in contact with the JBX developer and am trying to get a fixed build with stargos latest fixes built. When that is done it should be a great option again. Will update when this is ready.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I use TiBu as well. I restore my apps and data from there without an issue. Never system apps and data, just user apps. When I switch ROMs, after I install TiBu, I get a pop-up asking if I want to restore ID. I always do.

As for set ups and widgets, I use Nova Launcher (or any other launcher that allows backups.) Once I reinstall that app, I use a backup from my list.

Once I restored the app and data from TiBu, my passwords are all there. For instance, Tapatalk. I don't have to log in to each forum again, as data was restored.

Also, I only restore data to apps that "need" it. Others, I just restore the app. Hope some of this helps!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
getting dropped signal on cm3/15 and pac 3/15. anyone else? clean installs also
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
do you have to have the paid version of Titanium backup?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
I have a problem with sound on 3/14. I went to play some music for my kids this morning and I had no sound until I rebooted. Not a huge problem, just figured I would share.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
[MENTION=2774395]my2cents[/MENTION] uh oh...please don't tell me the random sound loss bug has returned.................
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Please be a bit more specific. Did you have to reboot to get the signal back or did it recover without a reboot? Do you have a dmesg?

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
signal would come back sometimes without reboot. I found it odd both roms did it. went back to LS 3/6 that i didnt notice any issues with and now have issues. went back to stock today to check and see if phone is issue and already loss signal once.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

No dmesg
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Uh if it happens on stock, it sounds like a contact-problem with the antenna :( . I don't know how the antenna is connected to the modem on the RAZR and if this is something which can be checked/fixed easily (Usually there are some springs which connect the antenna in the casing to the main pcb).

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
I believe so. TiBu is worth every penny I paid for it. Paid version allows batch backup, and more importantly, the ability to restore the system ID. Also allows for multiple backups, ability to freeze apps, and one of my favorites, "lock" a backup. I have backups set to 3. When it back ups (set timers for this... Also only available in paid version...), normally app keeps overwriting the oldest backup. So, for example... Backup 1 (3/12/14) Backup 2 (3/10/14) Backup 3 (3/8/14). Next backup replaces oldest. Now if app updates, or you get newer version, this can be a problem. However, I "lock" version I like, so I can always restore it. (Do this with Tapatalk all the time.... I always revert to 2.xx version)

Buy TiBu. Won't regret it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
yes i figured if it happened on stock its phone prob. going to completely wipe phone to be sure. thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Yeah, I think I am.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wow, what a great idea! I could not stand the stock cm11 launcher and bought Apex Pro. It is essentially Trebuchet with FAR too much stuff to ever want to mess with. And it was a pretty cheap purchase. I am sure it must have backup settings for the desktop. Thanks, that will take care of redoing the desktop.

Yes, I know how to use TB, I do pretty much the same thing you do. Restore system ID, all user apps w/out data, NO system apps, then go back and restore data to the few apps that require it. I just take the pa-gapps and that is good enough, mini-modular. The Google repopluation script does not always work right. Often the setup wants to do WiFi and does not give me the fast data until later when I can do mobile network settings. Once stopped, Google does not put your stuff back anymore. Not all apps came from Google either.

Thank you, Sherri. I didn't think about the launcher backup. That will take a third of this mess away. Good advice, thank you very much! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
On CM11 0314 nightly and I seem to have better google connection now. No orange bars showing up! I had been trying out LiquidSmooth for the last couple weeks while everyone said they were having issues with CM nightlies. Back on CM11 now and this new build seems great so far. I did like some of the added features in LS, but thanks to Ohmster, I found some of the same additions by installing xposed modules. Now, I can give this a real try for a solid daily driver. Excited to see if this build continues to be as awesome as it shows it is today!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes. It cost about 7 bucks or so but worth every penny. This is one "Must Have" app for anyone with rooted phones that wants to backup all their stuff. Don't even fuss with any kind of free Titanium Backup, you NEED the batch backups and restore features it has. And I especially like that it can copy your stuff to Dropbox, Gdrive, and other cloud drive space. I have restored pay apss from one device to another this way. Pretty neat. Don't mess around and buy it if you can.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
same here i was liking the active display!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I really liked the lockscreen notifications so you would still see everything from the notification panel when locked.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
what do you guys mean by "orange bars"? are you referring to the quick settings panel when you see the LTE and verizon signal bars being orange?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
Yes
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
[MENTION=5525571]zero66[/MENTION] when i look into the quick settings panel i ALWAYS see the LTE and signal bars orange tho... what does that mean?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
No connection to google
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
That means you dont have a connection to the google servers, so you dont get gmail push notifications and the play store is really slow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
Yes, I think they gave you the answer already. On any KitKat ROM so far, it has been mostly "Orange Bars" being on and disconnected to google servers. It doesn't matter which ROM it is, they all have the issue. So far, the 0314 build is staying connected to google much better for me. It has stayed connected for several hours now. I'd say that the latest changes are helping it stay connected better somehow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
+1

It's my Swiss army knife for ROM testing and upgrading.

Meneldur @ XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
just bought TiBu! now i gotta figure out how to use this thing
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
I'm not sure I get what's going on with the orange bars but even tho my LTE and 3 signal bars are orange...when I speed test it, its like 17mbps download and upload. Granted I'm walking my dogs right now in a wide open spot but I think I am still able to connect to Google and it doesn't seem slow at all???

Edit: I just tried again and I can open Google play and download apps just fine and also can check my gmail
