Oh well, that helps clear up the mystery behind the new build release tags, although I cannot understand how this is "better". As in the remaining text from the Release Versioning page above in Firebrick color. Simple system, positive outcome, how? This means that *nothing* in cm11 will really be "stable" and the M Snapshots is like "no way more stable than the Nightly builds surrounding it". At least not so far as I can tell from the M12 snapshot. Maybe "Research tells them it is more stable", but I seriously doubt that anyone adding that "stable" word to the M12 build has not tested many nightlies and snapshots on their own OMAP4 devices. It just could not be. A lot of people went for the M12 build and maybe it was more stable at that time because the roms really took a nose dive beginning 2nd week of November (11/11). But now, in comparison and hindsight, that snapshot is a dog compared to many of the builds before and after it.

CM is a very popular rom and the net is full of it. CM10 was *such* a joyful experience, I cannot distinctly remember any really bad releases during it's run from 10.0 to 10.2.1. The roms were great and the tagging system was excellent. I don't get this "nightly or M tag system" for cm11. It does not do much to instill confidence in the rom itself. Yet, really good builds of cm11 are quite a joy to have and to hold. I guess we do not have much say in the matter anymore. :(

[MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION] has been with CyanogenMod since version 6, I think she said. I wonder if the roms before 10 were good like cm10? Probably. With cm11 so late in it's development and CM12 beating in the back door, it is like they have no time left to really finish off cm11 properly, so they bum rush it out the door. Sad. I have high hopes for cm11.

Thanks for the Release Versioning link, Allen. At least now I know I am not crazy, CM is going crazy with the tagging system. I wonder if they are going to keep this insane tagging system for cm12? Good looking out, man. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I wouldn't have stuck with it for so long if it wasn't good! I actually remember how excited I got when I saw the CM boot screen actually come up on my phone. I think it was the Android a skateboard. It was the first rom I tried, as it enabled the led to flash with the screen on. (I bought t the OG on release day, Nov. 6, 200o...it came with Eclaire on it. It did this naturally. So did Froyo. I rooted it to get rid of garbage/bloatware, but since phone did all I needed, there was no need to put a ROM on there. Then came Gingerbread, and the geniuses at Google decided I can save battery by only having my led blink with screen off, as who needs it if screen is on? You can "see" messages! They obviously never met me....) Anyway, CM fixed this. Stuck with this until I couldn't answer phone. But all ROMs were based on CM, so I was able to experiment. Loved Steel Droid (still on my OG) and Liquid Smooth. On my Razer, I used CM for awhile, but they stopped allowing "my" feature. Full Throttle was excellent for both ICS and JB ROMs, but they were using the ICS base. When the Razr officially got JB, the developer had issues with the smali code and couldn't get it working right. He eventually got a new phone and gave up. AOKP has the features I need, as does Liquid Smooth. Liquid Smooth 5.0 doesn't, so this will be interesting. I may be stuck with 4.4.4, but everything works, so I am happy.

1-1-15 Nightly Build

I saw that this one was supposed to fix the phone process force close issue so i decided to give it a try.

I installed this as a clean install by itself with pa micro gapps on slot 1. It has been about 24 hours now and so far it is running fine. No force closes, no major issues, have used sms, mms, phone, navigation, browser, etc and no major problems.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
What say Morr?

Yep, I installed 01/01 myself. [MENTION=5362796]Dwillian[/MENTION] also installed it as he is like you with that dreaded phone FC. He said the one patched version that Michael did work for him and this is the first version to include it. So if you say your phone worked fine for 24 hours, I believe that it is fixed and you can use this rom.

I do not have the FC problem and use 11/07 but wanted to give this rom a try. Install was very good and mini-multitask test was fine. Streaming music to Bluetooth audio, maps to Navigation, and use the phone at same time. All worked well. What I was afraid of was "lag creep" that occurs a day or more later and the phone begins to lag pretty bad. Well, I woke up today and tried the same mini-mutitask test and it failed. Streaming music was stuttering (CPU load was pinned.), Maps came up with a black screen and finally "Maps is not responding, wait or close?" I closed. Even the music apps like Pandora and Slacker came up at first with black screens, only could see nav and status bars. Not good. I rebooted and wiped cache and dalvik and now rom works well again.

Maybe the rom has to "settle in" a bit and maybe a few cache and dalvik wipes will keep it clean. But if I have to wipe cache and dalvik every day, then this rom is not as good or better than 11/07. ...for me. But I think it is a good rom, certainly better than what has been being released for quite a while. Next one might be better.

So overall, I think this is a good rom, Moor. Especially for you and Dwillian. I will test mine some more and even do some updates to see if the "lag creep" goes away. Thanks for reporting! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I do at least one restart a day so it hasn't been horrible for me, but I have noticed that the CPU does seem to Max out and 'choke' if I stress it out too much.

It does 'lag' a little compared to PA and LS ROM's. It's not horrible but it could be better. Hopefully there will be a little more improvement before they out CM11 out to pasture...

I have been trying the pre-release builds of CM12 and it does look promising but on the most recent one I did get a phone process force close. Hopefully that will not be an issue for long.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], as I stated, I have been at this a while. I was very "close" with a developer who did manage to do this on the ICS based kernel. AOKP and AOKP based ROMs (Liquid Smooth and Dirty Unicorn, for example) have this built in. It is in the settings, so you can choose not to have it. There is a module for the Xposed Framework that enables this on some ROMs (Axion was an example.....)

What annoyed me was that people told me point blank that it "can't be done"..... It is actually something that can and should be done natively with some phones (Droid Razr/RAZR Maxx, for example....) The PHONE is capable, the ROM isn't.....

I do not keep my RAZR Maxx in a dock. But I do use apps in full screen, where no notification bar is seen. I use the dock mode as an example because most have seen the "led clock" screen bouncing around, and understand that if a notification came in while phone was in this "mode", unless you were sitting there to hear notification sound, you wouldn't know there was a notification unless you tapped the screen, exited this mode, saw the notification bar and saw a "notification", pulled down scrollbar, saw what the notification was, and then opened that application to respond.

My method: see a purple light, it is a text from kids. Tap screen, respond. See a green light, it is an email. Ignore and let the light blink until I choose to respond.....

As for being a "lady", I am.... And I told you my age before. It is just a number. I am younger than you, but not by much. I was 50 in July, and I honestly look better than I did at 30. I am in better shape as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I get it now. It is difficult for me to remember *everything* mentioned about the LED Notification because the issue does not affect me, directly. I just got done looking at the Light Flow app you mentioned. Man, if ever there was an app that could manipulate the LED, that is the one! Enough configurable stuff in there to make your head spin. I could not tell if Light Flow would enable the LED with screen on from the Play Store page, though.

I do the same notification thing as you do, just when the phone is on the dresser or something. Purple is voice mail, need to check that. Cyan, missed call, check that. I turned off email notification because I get email all day long, most of it is not important and so I do check it several times a day anyway. Plus, the pull down notification shows me if it is important or not.

I heard "Can't be done" a lot too. I don't believe it, although it may not be an easy thing do to. Google makes Android and they do "change the game" like they did with our ext-sdcards. It is possible that LED notification with screen on is more difficult in Android 4.4.4 but I would not know for sure. You use full screen apps that much? I do that too, but with a nice tablet available, I do most of the fun, big screen stuff on the tablet.

Yep, you are a Lady and a quite charming one at that. ...and the modules you found to enable the LED do not work on CM11. Man, I have been all over this LED issue tonight and have exhausted everything I can think of for now. I will admit that your notification needs are quite specific and no less important than anyone else's needs. I just cannot think of anything else right now. Thanks for the heads up, g'night Sherri. :)

01/01 still going strong

Day 3 and Nightly Build 01/01 still going strong. Needed to wipe dalvik and cache next day to cure "lag buildup" but other than that, doing well now. Fingers crossed! :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crackerjack1957:
Do you have to do the same for lag on your trusty 11/07?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
I've installed 20150101 in 01/02 here by Cyandelta with cache/dalvik-cache wiped. So for no FCs or self-reboot. Noticed some lags when using FB or other apps which been greenified and need sometime to wake up. Tried to de-greenify FB and monitor if lag happens again. As I can tell now, nightly-20150101 is a good one to use, will report it back if lag test finished. Happy new year to everyone!

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] : HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lkthomas:
I just tested it, Whatsapp, Chrome, Calendar, phone... all works fine. Launching speed is quicker as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
OK, so I've come here for two reasons today.

My first reason is to wish Ohmster a very happy birthday. Hope it's a good day Ohmster!!

I was kinda hoping not to see other wishes (Sherri) until mine - and i wake up quite a while before some of you (my fault for being lazy - it's already bed time now). ;) Just goes to show how you are appreciated. Even Sherri and yourself have been caught up at times; and who is the first to wish you? Sherri! Respect is never lacking in these RAZR forums, and it's really good. So, what do you know, you are quite the main "ingredient" here Ohmster, and what can one do without the main ingredient really?

My second is I need to ask about SafeStrap. I can't seem to clear cache and dalvik in v3.75. I just get an "unable to mount /cache". Why is this? I'm in stock slot and this is the slot I'm working with. I have been a little absent from reading posts lately, and of course I'm in the CM11 thread, but we all work with the same applications really, so do forgive me there.

But I really want my first reason to take precedence.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thank you, thank you all

very

much! :D

Daniel, Sherri, Brian, & of course, my Serbian Friend, Welder. Oh, and you too Micheal [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION], I did get your birthday greets email too. You guys are really terrific. When we get older, happy times like birthdays begin to become numerous. And unless you are one of the fortunate ones that have made your own families, with a spouse or significant other, kids maybe, these "Birthday Celebration" events tend to "wind down" over the years. I was really shocked today when my trusty Razr has been literally going off, all day long, with emails, XDA, and Facebook Birthday greetings. Wow, I have *that many* people who really care about, ...who? Me? OMG, that really means a lot. As I got older, things got harder and that is just the way it goes. Remember when we were all little kids and if you got something in the mail, it was the happiest day of your life? Not anymore. As an adult, the *only* thing I get in the mail are, ...bills. The mailbox is the last place I want to go today, but I will. And I will take all of the best wishes and birthday wishes from all of you, with me.

Paula is with me in the picture below. Although we have been friends for decades and have dated several times, we are not currently involved. But Paula did give me some of the best memories that I will ever have and she is really a terrific friend. ;)

Thank you all very much. Being here on XDA and having friends with you is one of the nicest places I visit. Take care everybody! ;)

EDIT:
[MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION] if you enter Safe Strap and go to the Advanced box and then File Manager, can you see the /cache folder and inside of that, the /dalvik-cache folder? I do not have an XT910 phone nor is my CM11 in the stock slot yet, so things could be different. I see these folders in my Safe Strap File Manager but they show up as "empty". So do almost all folders in Safe Strap File Manager but they cannot really be "empty". I think that Safe Strap operates these roms as virtual machines and thus the entire OS and file system would be stored as some kind of compresses "vhd" (Virtual Hard Dis) file that is decompressed at bootup to run the OS. Maybe on stock things are not quite the same. There may be no individual, accessible cache folder to mount. Unless you are having serious problems, I would not worry too much about it. Wiping cache or dalvik when necessary are done by the install scripts in the roms. Doing it manually really does not do a lot. To make my 01/01 rom run good when it lagged, I only had to reboot the phone, not really wipe anything.

Perhaps someone else who has an XT910 phone with CM11 on the Stock partition could verify this. Who, maybe [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] could verify this. It really should not matter though, Daniel. Thanks for the birthday greets!

CM11 News and update for NIghtly 01/01

Thanks Brian. I do not have time to go over the page now but it is bookmarked and on screen. I have 16Gb of DDR3 RAM on my PC so it can sit there for quite a long time without me losing the page.

Heads Up Nightly 01/01: CM11 Nightly Build 01/01 is still going strong on my Razr Max, XT912. No reboots today to fix lag or anything else. Streaming music and all else seems to be quite fine. I really think that 01/01 is a pretty good rom and that the next roms will be even better. I did get a nice birthday email today from Michael, he is back from vacation in the USA, San Fransisco California. He posted several nice pictures on his Google+ page. I got some CM11 news from our beloved developer, who, it seems, is firmly back behind the wheel at CyanogenMod, working on our roms. I am sure that [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] would not mind if I gave a quote from him on the current state of CM roms for OMAP4 devices and it would not be a betrayal of confidence to post a direct quote:

So there you have it, it looks like there will be another M snapshot, M13 SNAPSHOT to wrap up CM11 Final with all the new bug fixes built in! And as I suspected, we are going to miss the official rollout of CM12 for Droid Razr devices. Michael is essentially trying to "Put a round peg in a square hole" with CM12 for OMAP4 as our devices do not meet the hardware requirements. (The XT910 & XT912 are old phones!) But Micheal is a very determined individual and if anyone can make Android L work on our devices, it would be him. We have already seen it work, thanks to Micheal, but to make it work "Officially" where everything works with all the spit and polish is going to take some doing and some time. Maybe Android 5.1 for us.

Really thanks for all the nice birthday wishes. You guys rock! :victory:

Anyone using the 01/05 Nightly Build?

I installed the 01/05 Nightly Build last night before going to bed, so I really did not get a chance to try it out. This morning the phone seems to work fine and I went for a drive and tested out streaming audio with Pandora over Bluetooth to the Car Connect Bluetooth audio receiver in my car. I do this quite often. But today, it was a rough ride. The audio came in short bursts, stuttering very badly, could not even tell what song was playing. Tried Slacker Radio just to give another streaming audio app a chance and got the same thing. I did check the CPU for a heavy CPU load, none was found. CPU load for the device was within normal ranges.

Trying to keep this simple, I did a normal reboot and the streaming audio service worked normally. Later in the day, another trip to the supermarket, this time streaming Google Play Music and Navigation to supermarket just for testing. Everything worked well. This is quite similar to the experience I had with Nightly Build 01/01. I had to clear 01/01 twice with reboots on subsequent days after the install and from that point on, the rom performed well. So far, Nightly rom 01/05 seems to be a good rom, equal or better than the 01/01 it had replaced.

A reboot or two to help a new rom to settle in is acceptable for me if that is all it takes. I do not like to constantly battle issues when updating a rom. Is anyone else using the 01/05 Nightly ROM and if so, what is your experience with it?

Thanks! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
There is an omap4 specific fix in the next nightly. See http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/84168/. It's supposed to fix a problem that would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory. Seems like this could help our phones a lot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Changelog shows that there are two of them! Good looking out, bra!

to be included in next nightly:

KEYS: close race between key lookup and freeing (android_kernel_motorola_omap4-common)

Enable setting security contexts on rootfs inodes. (android_kernel_motorola_omap4-common)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
The fixes are just a security fix and a SELinux improvement (which isn't used on the CM11-builds, but I try to keep the CM11- and CM12-kernel somehow in sync). So you will see no direct improvements, it's "only" a bit more secure against attackers.

Cheers,

Michael

Test report of CM11-nightly-20150101-umts_spyder

<< Basic Info >>

XT910 (umts_spyder) / CM11-20150101 / PA-GApps Micro 20141214 / From CM11-141206->150101 by CyanDelta

Note: PA-GApps was flashed manually.

<< Report >>

Tested Period : 4 days

Tested Item : Phone call / SMS / Camera / Mobile data / WiFi / GPS / HDMI / MX Player / YouTube / Light Games(Paper Toss) / etc.

Tested Result : Good. No FCs or random reboot during these days. Random freeze from FB app may caused by Greenify because it's improved after I de-greenify FB app. Overall it's a stable version for use. If XT912's com.android.phone issue was fixed in this version, could be a good one for recommendation.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Agreed. These are my findings as well, although I had no Facebook issue on my XT912 and kept Greenify in full force. I use Mini_Modular pg-gapps. I moved on to 01/05 Nightly yesterday afternoon and so far, it is quite similar to this 01/01 build. Had to reboot next day to stabilize 01/05 as with 01/01. Build 01/01 required 2 reboots on subsequent days after installing to settle down and yield good performance. Very good report, Mr. Chen. Thank you. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Noe!:
Hey stargo, are official CM12 builds out of the realm of possibility? I would love to know this, and I'm sure many others will too. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Last known update on "current status of CM-11" report was Post #7063, and in that message Michael did say that although our OMAP4 devices would not make it into the CM12 initial release, he expects/hopes to be able to get them running it by Android 5.1 when it is released by Google.

That is what is currently known to be possible, at least so far...

Nightly ROM 05/05 GOOD!

Hey, I have been testing CM11 Nightly Build 01/05 for 3 days now. I gave a Build Report on it yesterday.

Just want to say that this January 5th rom is pretty good. Now day 3 and sailing along, nice and smooth. Only had to perform one reboot on second day because lag had set in and streaming audio was very choppy. Not today. I did my mini-workout on the phone a few times today and everything works well and is smooth.

Just for reference, an address lock in Maps takes 30 seconds. Navigation lock from Maps took 49 seconds total. Other apps launch much more quickly.

01/05 is a good rom. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I agree, the 1-5-15 nightly build appears to be doing well. I've been running it since 1-6-15 and have had no major issues. Calls, texts, navigation, browsing are all fine. It feels as though when I install the more recent builds as an 'OTA' that it may not do a thorough wipe as it 'feels' like it lags initially. So after I do an OTA update I have begun going back into safestrap and re-wiping the dalvic, cache and secure. I do not know if it really helps, but it feels as though it does better once I do this this.

It does lag a little on occasion (usually in an app like Facebook or chrome) but I normally reboot at least once a day and that seems to clear it up.

From what I have been reading the final builds will be closer to weekly instead of nightly and that a 'final' M13 snapshot will come out to finalize CM11 Kitkat. Hopefully that will be an excellent optimized build that smooth and reliable, if so I may decide to put it in my stock slot.

I have been reading a lot about Android 5.0 having major memory leaks which have been causing problems even on newer phones with better specs than our trusty old RAZR's. So maybe it is a good thing that we are not included in the initial CM12 nightly builds. I have been trying out the test builds of CM12 and though they are getting better, they are still not daily drivers, at least not for me 'yet'. Plus I'm not really crazy about the lollipop color scheme so I would really like to see the theme engine added so I can change the look of it.
