Yeah, this comes up from time to time. CM11 is "beta software", meaning it is not done yet nor is it officially stable. We get nightly build releases almost every night with improvements, features added, changes made, and they are not all "good things". When using nightly builds, there is a very good chance you will get a bad build or rom and must restore your Safe Strap backup of a build you know works well. Because it changes every night, what you run now is nothing like what you were running 6 months ago.

Before you think I am "blowing a lot of hot air", I was just like you. I love this rom, it has full features, is very customizable, is fast, and gives you everything you want in a rom. But for months and months, I have complained that "

If I had to call 911 on this thing, I would be in the morgue before the call finally went through

". Everybody told me to "Go clean" and that is only ½ the story. The other half is your habits. You cannot install 300 apps and let them "run wild". Stop automatic updates. Uninstall all apps and services that you do not need like "Apollo" or "Google Play Music" if you do not use them. Use Titanium Backup to remove system apps like this. Use Greenify to put everything to sleep that is not essential to running the phone. If you follow this practice, the phone will always be fast, responsive, and waiting for your command. Once I cleaned out my phone as described and performed the rest of the things mentioned, my phone waits for me, not the other way around. Dial pad appears from desktop in less than one second. From Contacts to maps to full Navigation takes just over a minute. My phone has

worked this well since it was brand new.

To get a good running copy of cm11 on your phone, you need to go clean, (very clean), immediately stop Google play store from downloading and installing every app you ever had. Go to play store, stop downloads, play store settings, do not allow automatic updates. Besides a totally clean rom slot, you need two files. Current release of pa-gapps and a known good, proven build of cm11. Flash those two files under "Install" in Safe Strap. I write these instructions all the time so I will give you a post that I wrote containing all the instructions, links to files, and everything you need. I have two very good September builds in my Dropbox, links are provided, or, if you want a more recent copy of cm11, use nightly build 10/02. Later builds are being tested but builds of 03,04, and 05 are NOT good builds! This is a good build: cm-11-20141002-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

Here, use this post as a guide and use the links within to get the files and additional instructions you need.

This member is having a lot of problems and really wants it solved, so, I wrote instructions and gave links to other posts with instructions and download links. It seems like a lot of work, but really, in less than two hours, you will have your phone up and running, albeit without all the apps and junk you had previously, and will be able to tell if "the phone works good now". If so, backup that install immediately and save it as a "base" install so if you have problems after installing your stuff, you can restore this backup and try again. Go for it! :good:
