[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
fsck didn't really work, huh? It does in Linux with a real hard drive, but Android is so stripped down that it really isn't the same. Plus we are dealing with an SD Card, not really a hard drive. It shouldn't make a difference but, I guess it does. Formatting was probably your only option and at least that did work.

I tell ya, I am SO fed up with these April builds (Now on 04/16) that I am about to go back to 03/30 and just stay there. Will post about it. Thanks for the report! :good:

WOW! Man, you get BIG thanks for all that. Great job, Jake! I am going to keep a copy of this just in case I need it. I sure hope not, but this much hard work into a how-to is worth hanging on to. Thanks man.

But, I have to play devil's advocate here a little bit. All of *this* just to have a phone? Rooting, romming, as a hobby is fun. I love it. But, I am not so fortunate to have "an extra phone" and really need this thing to work, all the time, for calls, maps, data, anything. And, I have to work, do what I can to make money, the whole nine yards. Romming for a hobby and fun is one thing, but becoming a slave to it is another. Before anyone jumps on me and says "Hey, nobody is forcing you to do this", I know. I like Kit Kat. I like the phone. I worship the devs for all the effort, unpaid, that they put into it. Really.

I am now on 04/16. Just tried my HDMI cable. Thought it was pretty neat. Was hoping that the phone could be a "mini HD Player" for things like Netflix and Xfinity Go TV app. But what looks GREAT on the small screen, is quite pixelated on a 27" HD Monitor. There is a word for this in PC Video games. It is in settings and it is where an angled edge looks like stair steps instead of a smooth incline. Same for round edges. That is what it looks like. Yeah, HDMI works, it is pretty cool, but a great HD Player? No.

Phone rings, buttons light up, screen doesn't. Hard to hang up or select Bluetooth that way. I can fuss with the power button and usually get the screen lit before I lose the call, but it blacks out again and I cannot hang up. All that stuff was fixed last month. First time I tried HDMI so I don't know about that. No disrespect to the devs, but if (What do we have, 04/18?) the next build does not fix things, I might just go back to 03/30 and sit this out a while. The phone is slower than ever, like Jellybean, eats batteries now like Ritz crackers, and I spend an awful lot of time staring at a black screen.

I just know it is coming. "Do you want cheese with that whine, Ohmster?"

No. I don't want cheese. It just seems like 1-2 months ago, things were fast, working right, no real issues, and now, it is like we went backwards 4 months. Signal patches? The devs have a hard job, need good testers like Jake, and I do all I can to report and help others. But I really need a phone that "works" and haven't had one for weeks.

Alright I am done with Devil's Advocate. You can stop hating me now.

:p I really do love this rom and all the work that goes into it. The cm11 dev team rocks and really gave my old XT912 new life. I just wish it would be more consistent. I would like to trap one of these black screen calls in a log, maybe call myself, see it happen, and then immediately capture the dmesg. I do not know what to filter for with CatLog so maybe I will just save a raw log for development. If it helps.

A lot of members have slipped away to Liquid and something called Slim Kat, I think. I don't know what that is and I am part loyalist and part dreading having to start all over again learning a new rom. They tell me "You should try it, Ohmster." The experience would probably be good and if I get the time to try this stuff, I just might. But really, I want to stick with cm11. It could be that 04/16 is just not a good build or maybe it must be installed completely clean. I'm not sure. But for me, it is not better than what came before it, and before that.

Fast question? So truthfully, no one has actually installed and used an April build, past 06, that works great, no issues, is fast, good battery life, and no problems whatsoever. Is that pretty much correct? I really just need to know because if I have to revert for a while, no biggie. I need a dependable phone for right now. The Verizon service costs $150/Mo. so I really do need calls for jobs that make money. :p Thanks guys! :good:

...hmmm, could be my phone or something. Need to run on backup for a while to see if anything is wrong with it. Could be. :confused:
