Oh, this is like AdFree. I use that all the time but this one you told me about looks much nicer and more rich with features. Since they both alter the hosts file, they essentially do the same thing. It would not make sense to have both of them installed. I found out that you can register AdFree and you can pick several well known block lists to use. I will try it, but this somehow really looks "built into" Go SMS Pro. Why else would the sms message "disappear" the moment you touch it and there is no log of the message?

Yes, it is good to support the devs, they do this on their own time because they can, and the cost is very cheap, like $3 or "buy me a cup of coffee". How much more humble can you get than that? I will try it, but wish there were a way to track the behavior of Go SMS Pro. It is in the system logs, I would have to filter for it the moment it happens. A daunting task. Thanks!

AdAway is way better I use it and it is open source but you have to get it online it is blocked in the play store because it is so good!

I'm not able to make or receive phone calls. Going back to 3/8 nightly until this is sorted out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Caleb, how nice to see you again!

Yeah, I am going to switch to AdAway. I do believe "that it is so good", but actually, Google became sort of "buttholes" since going Public. Their rise to fame and fortune is because they never exploited ads, never accepted paid ads without clearly marking them with different colors and kept them few and made them blend in. They never were "In your face" about ads. Also, they were strict about never censoring anything, they believed in free speech. They got into a conundrum over this with foreign nations that censored EVERYTHING like China and Iran. They had the very difficult decision to make that "some Google, even censored Google, is better than no Google at all" to better spread free speech globally.

Google never censored anything in the US, good, bad, harmful, but educational, nonetheless. I was shocked to see them remove AdFree from the play store because it could be used to block their own ads, thus, in their minds, losing customers, business, and revenue. "You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink", meaning you cannot make me buy stuff by shoving ads down my throat. I was really surprised to see how hard Google fought with China over censorship but when it came down to good old American capitalism, they caved like a wet paper bag to stop ad removers on their own free play store. Now that really sucks, man. I feel really strongly about this and do not want to get started. Thanks for the heads up, take care and do drop in from time to time, Caleb.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Devs! Is M4 Snapshot optional or necessary?

Hey, does anybody know if this M4 snapshot is really necessary or not? This thread now says "(M2 Snapshot Available)". What does all this mean? I thought the Milestone Release meant we were close to becoming near complete or at least "Stable". But the M4 Snapshot only shows on the download page and is not even in the OTA updates. People who installed it had to go completely clean and start all over again or it was "FC city" for them. That is a LOT of fuss to go through for ONE update unless future updates depend on it.

But do they? I see plenty of updates, both OTA and on download page that seem to have nothing to do with Milestone, M4, or M2 (Whatever that is). Does anybody know the real story on CM11 and updates? Until I can get a firm and verifiable answer, I want to just stick to OTA updates as long as there are no bad reports on them like "no phone service available, reverting to earlier backup."

What do you guys think and especially,

can one or two actual CM11 devs chime in here

to clear this issue up, please? Thank you all so much, your opinions and experience is much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chiahead52:
M means monthly release. Kinda like a nightly but in theory is more stable although not always. Supported devices are supposed to get a monthly release each month from what I remember reading
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Jake,

I am on 03-09 and can't complain much. This is South Florida, saturated with Verizon 4G. My icon always shows LTE but I use the rainbow icons, same thing without them, just orange or white in color. My phone signal strength often drops to one bar, but I can still use the phone. Most of the time I got 5 bars. I don't know much about 3G, other than it is a notch above dialup and my Ookla speed test is always high, right now 17.6 Mbps down and 12.7 up. Often it is better than that. Even my "black screen after calls lockup" issue has not shown up for weeks, several updates past.

Phone: XT912 Verizon US

I don't update all the time, too many times I see complaints about the newest build so I wait to see if it is good. Are you experiencing and significant problems with 03-12? I want to update to take advantages of small improvements but want to know if all is good first, if possible. Even the M4 snapshot issue puzzles me, I made an inquiry post about it. You recommend 03-12? TIA

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

That is helpful, chia, but not looking forward to starting all over again unless it is recommended in order to get good results with future updates. So far, all updates have been good, no genuine problems to report.

Thanks for the update dude. Hopefully a dev will answer up with a "this is necessary or not". I sure hope so. :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
M4 is for people that are scared to use bleeding edge aka nightly updates. It is unnecessary if you are OK with flashing updates and in fact if you want to cross update streams from cm milestone to cm nightlies or vice versa without a clean install you may run into issues. I see M releases as nice for non dev end users. But for power users or testers I stick to nightlies. Plus stargo has a lot of nice omap4 specific common and kernel changes in the pipeline that I am excited to try out. Nightlies for me. ;)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Agreed.

Oh you are awesome, dude! This is exactly the kind of stuff that I wanted to know. Thank you.

I really wish I could help sherri. There is an LED xposed module but nothing I have found so far that will light the LED while screen is NOT blacked out. She is a senior member, obviously knows what she is talking about, yet, without something in the rom or kernel to do it, I don't think anything can make that LED come on while screen stays on as a "digital alarm clock" while docked and she needs it pretty bad. A dock automatically makes the screen stay lit? No override? Well you helped me a lot and earned another thanks. Good looking out Jake! :good:

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Sherri, I really wanted to help you. Even downloaded the exposed LED Control. Yeah, like you said, pretty colors for apps, but nothing to turn on LED with screen on. I don't have a dock so I have never seen one. You say it makes a digital alarm clock out of it. No way to turn this clock off? This CM11 does have a sleep function you can tap on the quick pull down menu for WiFi and all that. Tap Sleep and the screen goes off until woke up with power button or a phone call. Have you tried that at all? I don't want to see you install all over again just to try something, unless you have backups to restore. You have any friends with docks you can ask about this? Just sympathetic by peer courtesy as you obviously are a senior member and know what you are talking about. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
I use 2 different docks, but you don't need the physical dock. Any "dock" mode effects this. Even a car dock application.

I tend to work out a lot. I use an app on my phone called Droid TV Primetime. It is a virtual DVR for Android. Shows are set to be recorded, record, and can be played back at any time, Wi-Fi or not. Even in airplane mode. This app keeps me sane, and I can walk or run longer periods of time... When I use this, I use earphones. I turn all system sound notifications off. No vibrations. Nothing. That is my "me" time, and I don't want it interrupted. Plays in full screen mode.

Except by my kids. Daughter is in school 8 hours away. She won't text me at those times unless important. Purple light. Pause video and reply.

Just want to know why CM got rid of this feature. Was in his older ROMs....

Have you tried BattMonX from the playstore? I remember seeing this when downloading lightflow but have not tried it myself.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
when this happens, are you unable to sent MMS afterwards?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
No. I've tried lots of things. Still get the toast message about APN missing. Creating a new APN wont stick either. I'm on 3/08 currently. Had similar trouble on 3/12 and 3/10.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
try to do *228 and reprogram. when i restart my phone, i am sometimes unable to send MMS. then i do *228 and most of the times it will be able to send MMS again. try it and let me know if it works
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
No luck. Now the phone grabs LTE and then loses it. This cycle just keeps repeating. When the LTE symbol is there, I have no data though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
i just restarted my phone and the first thing i did was try to send a MMS. it didn't go through and said "Invalid Destination". I immediately went and did *228 and reprogrammed the phone. Tried to send another MMS and this time it went through. I am not sure what to suggest at this point...sorry

i am on the 3/12 nightly now btw. maybe try another nightly? i did a full wipe tho...not a dirty flash.

I found this: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/89577-no-apn-specified-on-device-error-message-on-toroplus/ Looks like its been a problem for some since 3/1. Maybe 3/13 has a fix??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
3/13 is up and has a lot of fixes! http://www.cmxlog.com/11/spyder/ is a changelog.

Downloaded checked md5 and flashed, also flashed pa gapps micro and it is stuck at the cyanognemod face boot circle thing. Will try reflashing. It has been sitting there for about 10 minutes.

Also this was a clean flash not a dirty flash.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I did an update to the 3/13 nightly (from a clean install of 3/12 nightly and full PA gapps) and mine is stuck at the cyanogenmod face boot circle thing too. Mine has been stuck there for at least 10 minutes also. There must be a problem with the 3/13 nightly.

Since others are experiencing the same problem guess I will try going back to 3/12 nightly. Wish I had saved a backup :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:

Just tried it and same issue :( been waiting 2 minutes and will wait 8 more before I call it a bad nightly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I deleted and recreated my rom slot and then did a clean install of 3/13 nightly only (i.e., no gapps) and it booted fine. Took about 3 minutes and now I'm at the "Welcome to CyanogenMod" screen. Will try flashing pa-gapps-stock next. It could be a partition size issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Thanks for the idea are you using SafeStrap? How big did you set the partitions? I am setting mine as 1000MB system 2500MB data and 500MB cache
[Motorola Droid RAZR] control187:
Anyone putting it on stock slot? I moved back to the stable 10.2 until the network issues were cared for, but I hear there is some good stuff in this one. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
pa-gapps-stock installed fine. Now going to try reboot.

I am using SafeStrap 3.65. My partition sizes are as follows (from SafeStrap after install of 3/13 nightly and pa-gapps-stock):

System: 787MB (137 MB free), I created an 800 MB partition (100 MB larger than default because pa-gapps-stock said 700 MB was too small on initial install)

Data: 1968MB (1921 MB free), created the default 2000 MB partition

Cache: 295MB (279 MB free), created the default 300 MB partition

Looks like it is going to boot OK. I'm on the Android is upgrading... screen and it is slowly working through optimizing 113 apps :)

Ooops... I just realized I flashed the 3/12 nightly instead of the 3/13 nightly. So the 3/13 nightly may still have a problem. I will download the zip file and try installing manually this time instead of taking the OTA update to 3/13 nightly.

Sorry for the confusion (on my part). It's still pretty early for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I just deleted slot 1 and recreated it then flashed and still no boot. It was worth a try though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I recreated my rom slot using partition sizes mentioned previously, wiped cache/dalvik, manually flashed just the 3/13 nightly, wiped cache/dalvik, then tried to reboot, but it looks like it is hung up for me too. Guess I will go back to 3/12 and wait for a fix.

Hope the developers monitor this thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SimpTheChimp:
Yep I tried it (03-13) with GAPPS and then without GAPPS.... boot still hangs at the CM11 face (boot) screen.

Went back to nightly 03-12 and then everything boots fine.... Must be a bad nightly. :(

doesn't the 10.1 and 10.2 have the random sound loss bug that mutes the sound until you restart the phone? i know this is what kept me from using and i had to stick with eclipse until CM11 kit kat came around
[Motorola Droid RAZR] control187:
I have had this happen a couple times. Is the Eclipse ROM better in your opinion?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
i was on the eclipse 2.1 rom which is wayyyyy outdated. i was only using that because CM10 at the time couldn't figure out the random sound loss bug problem and eclipse was the next best thing. random sound loss bug is a no go when you depend on your phone as a alarm to wake up for work. with the minor issues that CM11 has, i'll stick with it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Whoa! You guys got me terrified here. I would like to update, on 03/09. I was asking Jake if he had a later build installed that was better or at least not any worse. Now you guys are saying the new update(s) won't even boot!

Can somebody please tell me what is the last stable update that I can use or update to, or should I just stick with what I have for now? This phone really is "a phone" besides all of the other amazing things it does and must be available as a phone at all times.

Where are we at on updates? Last update known to be stable and good, please?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
3/12 nightly with pa-gapps-stock seems to be working fine on my phone. I tried 3/13, but it wouldn't boot (clean install, without and with gapps).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
I did try battmonx. I am currently using the CM ROM, and the led is lit with the screen ON, showing I am not totally nuts and that this is possible. However...it is a solid light, and changes color by how fast battery discharges. So...led with screen on IS possible on this phone and this ROM. Need developer to implement it to do so for notifications.

Anyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Actually, I don't have or actually know what a "dock" is, other than a charging station, media hookup for TV/Speakers, or car use. I had to go look this up and I see what you mean by digital clock. Is this sort of what you have?

​

I really want to help, you are a senior member, and certainly not some "dumb chick". (I am in NO WAY a chauvinist, but some guys are "just little boys".) You get all the professional courtesy of a serious geek like me and all of us on here. You know what you are talking about, what you need, what works and what doesn't. That is commendable.

DVR on the phone? Wow, how cool is that? I use my PC for HDTV w/Comcast and HD cable box on HDMI and DVI. I would really like a good DVR for my PC because I do not have that much storage space for the phone. Plus, I would need either a dock or at least an HDMI cable for the phone. Not sure if HDMI is working on CM11 yet.

I use Windows Media Center with Hauppauge PCIe card for TV. But a LOT of stuff I watch is on Netflix or even Comcast watch online, NatGeo full videos, PBS and Nova full videos, Project Free TV, and WatchSeries.it. I can watch all the SVU episodes there and nowhere else. NBC holds a tight reign on that show and will not release anything prior to season 8. This stuff is all On Demand though. Since my HDTV and PC use the same big screen HD monitor, I spend a LOT of time watching shows and movies. ½ of it is online HD stuff. Comcast does give very good bandwidth.

I want to look into the DVR thing, I am like you. I go do doctor offices and other places and have to wait. so I put in the ear-buds, and zone out on my own HD shows. It would be cool to prerecord some and have them on queue. Thanks for the tip. Will keep looking for you and If I see anything, post it and pm you. Good luck!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], yes, that is one type of dock. After a few minutes, the screen goes to just the digital clock part. It "bounces" around the screen, I assume to prevent "burn in".

For my car, I have a "generic" dock, but use a car dock application which does not have notification bars. This doesn't concern me in the car too much, as I am usually driving and won't respond to notifications anyway.

My favorite app is Droid TV Primetime, and as I stated, this is completely full screen with no notification bar. I can be at the gym for a while, and need the led.

I will stick with AOKP for now, as it "works" and does what I need. I just wanted to know if anyone knows why they got rid of this feature.
