How to install CM11 Build 02/02 2015

Gosh NO! You do not have to "wipe and go clean" to install 02/02. Just do it manually. Like this it says in the Build Report CM 02/02 Updated Post #7401.

Note for Fresh Installs:

If you are installing CM11 for the first time or want to start over, the procedure is the same, just wipe "Everything" in Safe Strap instead of just the 3 partitions mentioned below. Not the two items mentioned next.

Be Careful not to wipe Internal Storage & Micro SDcard, unless you really do want to erase your entire SDcards, internal and external!

Basically this is it. I am putting URLS directly to the required files directly below from my Mega Cloud Storage with md5 files to make file collection easier. I will include 01/26 just to make the file list complete in case anyone wants it.:

Method: Manual Update. This method calls for wiping the system partition. You absolutely MUST have the 2 required files available on the phone prior to performing this update method! Have cm-11-20150202-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip AND * pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20150208-signed.zip on the phone before you wipe the system or you are in BIG trouble and will have to restore a backup, if you have one, to get your phone back up and running!

* I always use the mini-modular pa-gapps with terrific results. You can substitute whatever pa-gapps package you want but I would suggest you use one of the smaller packages. I mean, really, "Google Earth" on a tiny cellphone? The stock system partition is only 700MB so don't install huge pa-gapps packages.

Files:

cm-11-20150126-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

cm-11-20150202-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20150208-signed.zip

This procedure is called "The Dwillian Dump", credit given to [MENTION=5362796]Dwillian[/MENTION] for this fine method to upgrade AND downgrade your roms w/out losing updates and settings.

Procedure:

Boot to recovery.

Wipe dalvik, cache, and system.

Install cm11-02/02.

...add more zips, the latest pa-gapps.

Wipe dalvik and cache once more.

Reboot to system.

Since there are no more OTA updates for CM11, do ALL of your updates this way. You can use this very same procedure to downgrade to an earlier build of CM11 and keep all of your updates and settings, as long as it is not "Way too far away" from the build you are downgrading from. ;)

Bye the way, I don't ever turn my phone off or reboot unless necessary. I did have to reboot twice this week, most likely due to memory leaks, once I lost system sounds (I do not have OK Google Detection enabled) and once because I lost data. Settings were all correct. A fast reboot cleared up each issue as it manifested itself. So, like anything else, if it starts to act up, reboot it. :o

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] you are absolutely right about this. The OP post #1 is pretty far outdated. [MENTION=4161843]ktimque[/MENTION] is sort of a "non-participating" poster. He inherited this thread from harkune and If I am not mistaken, I don't believe he even has a Razr, much less use the rom so it is really up to us to maintain and govern this thread. However, ktimque will usually reply to a PM and I try to do that on *very* rare occasions. I think this situation warrants it and even the updating and installation has changed quite a bit. I wrote a popular Guide on CM11 in my sig and posted updating instructions in my reply to [MENTION=6309629]dtiger1138[/MENTION], Post #7443. ktimque is a good guy and all, but since CM11 on a Razr is not really his thing, he will need help in getting this done.

This stuff should be made available to newbies and the OP needs updating. I will send the PM with links and suggestions, let's see if ktimque gets his messages and can help us. That repository that you gave link to is what Michael put up for us on the German FAU University. It is what, "semi-permenant"? We have to run it all by ktimque and see what he can do. Will send msg and either post results or you will see him make an announcement, I hope. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for bringing this up, Shadow. :good:

Update 02/27/2015:

OP on post #1 updated by ktimque.

The preferred update method, OTA, as listed in the guide is no longer applicable. I will update it soon and download version to recommend The Dwillian Dump method be used BOTH for upgrading and downgrading your cm11 roms. Such a lovely procedure! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Online CM11 Guide Updated

The Online CM11 Guide has been updated to reflect the new, preferred method of updating the rom. It is the same procedure as we use to downgrade, the beloved Dwillian Dump. Since OTA updates are no longer available for download, this method is now obsolete. Unless you actually "Put" the desired CM11 rom into your /sdcard/cmupdater folder, it will not appear in the /Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates section of the phone anymore.

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] added to the credits section for his diligence in helping to maintain the CM11 rom and available assets, files, guides, and forums for all members and Google searchers.

Download pdf version with active URLS has also been updated and is available as a zip attachment at the bottom of the Guide itself. Find this Online CM11 Guide in the signature section of any of my posts. Thanks to everyone that helps, reports, and contributes! :highfive:

Hey [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION].

Yes, CM11 will surely be around a while - or rather KK for that matter. I too am not yet using CM12, I've tried it out a few times but never kept it in a slot. I'm waiting for good reports; even if it is in a few months from now - I'm quite happy with KK and how it is performing.

So I've been using AOKP for about two weeks now. When I first tried it, I was impressed, but then I didn't give it much time to grow on me. Now I'm considering moving it into stock and dropping Paranoid Android. If you feel like fiddling a bit, try this ROM out - after only just two builds, it's very decent.

I may be with the RAZR Maxx a lot longer than any other phone I've had (in fact, it already has passed two years and thus is actually the longest I've ever used a phone as my primary phone) - just hope it can physically stay in one piece.

So, I was paying around $31 a month (this is only for the phone and the package: minutes, data etc). Since I want a Motorola, it means I will have to buy cash (Motorola moved out of my country, but will be back with Lenovo shortly). So I have moved to a contract of around $9/month. This allows me to save towards buying a phone cash. What's fantastic is I am getting 12gb data, 10gb WiFi, then some 9tb slow data(?) & 100 minutes. What? I was supposed to get 1gb data. Won't be changing this contract ever. Contract came with some very cheap Samsung (still in the box wrapped in plastic - 2 months already).

In comparison, with my Moto, I was getting 30 minutes + 130 network-only minutes, 10gb WiFi, and 150mb data.

So I'm happy - I just hope it's not some promotion that I'm unaware of. Shame, I haven't told them, and I kind of no longer plan to either. :)

So this phone better last, I have a long way to save, and I don't want to have to fork money out that was not meant for a phone. Pity I want a high-end device - they cost so much more. So, rest assured, I'm with you guys for as long as it takes.

You know, only having time at home from 18:30 in the evenings (still need to make food) doesn't leave me much time for games. But I do do some multiplayer FPS in the evenings (just got diamond camo last night, lol). But no time to try out new games etc, that's for the weekend, and even then I must go shopping, do cleaning, do washing... Very tiring! But it's about time for something new (let me search the web..).

Take care.

I hate to bring this up now, but the dead link to Dhacker's GApps is still in the OP too, and should probably be removed and replaced with a link to the PA GApps thread or somesuch.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
Hello everybody.

You surely will point me in the right direction. My RAZR doesn't fire any alarm, they are simply ignored despite clock icon present beside clock on notification bar.

Using 0126. Greenify present but not catching Google Play Services.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Odd, have you greenified any other items? I don't think play services should affect the alarm though. Have you tried disabling Greenify to see if it is the culprit?

Thank you [MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION] for bringing to our attention. I will forward this to the attention of [MENTION=4161843]ktimque[/MENTION]. I try to give him update information in chunks, but, it is what it is. The man is a good member and does his best to accurately maintain this thread.

Don't be sorry, these are things we need to know. Good looking out, buddy. :good:

In line with bringing up old subjects - MMS has never worked for me on CM. Yes, i'm fairly sure I could download a 3rd party SMS/MMS app (that probably uses it's own pre-configured APN list instead of using the system APN list) buuuuut... that's not how I like to go about things. Now, in my searching around the net, i have found this link: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/pull/13 (which I looked through the actual code changes and it looks like it would fix MMS on a system level) however I have no idea how to get the information/files/etc through to someone at Cyanogen to implement it. I would only assume that going forward even on CM12 this change would still be needed.

Now, given CM11 is nearly EOL :crying: I know that the chance of this getting in even as a possibility for M13 is next to nothing, but possibly if someone out there could 1. get it sent over to the CM team to get it implemented in CM12 to save some future hassle, and 2. maybe get a flashable .zip made up with the fix for anyone loading CM11 going forward would be awesome!

I've tried editing the XML file for the APNs myself to match what this fix showed, but it only managed to completely wipe my APN list on my phone to the point where i had to re-flash the current version on top of itself to get ANY APNs to show up for me, so if someone with some more experience could take a look at this, I would be thankful!

I'm not a heavy MMS user, but on the odd occasions where I want to send an image message, it's annoying that it doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wait a minute here. There are several types of alarms that cm11 can produce. You will have to be a little more specific my friend. A few of which are displayed in my attachments. Adding the Xposed Module Alarm Clock Plus allows you to really customize your alarm with artificial speech. My screenshot indicates no voice package installed but it is false. I use the SVOX Classic Victoria UK Female voice, but it works with any of the built in Google speech packs in the rom under /Settings/Language & Input/Text to Speech Output. It can announce the date and time as well as any custom words you wish the clock to speak when the alarm is triggered. It is not an alarm in itself, it only customizes the built in clock.

***ATTENTION***

This works with the standard AOSP Clock/Alarm App

(Package: com.google.android.deskclock | com.android.deskclock)

So [MENTION=3668995]Meneldur[/MENTION] can you give me a description or better yet, a screenshot of where exactly are you setting this alarm from? Then we could help you in getting it to work. Aside from the few I've shown you and the myriad of clock apps you can download, there are quite a few places one could configure or setup an alarm in CM11. If I am not mistaken, the cLock widget is the one that triggers the alarm from the notification bar. Let me test it out with an alarm for say, tomorrow morning.

Ah yes, it does produce an alarm icon on the notification bar. Screenshot #4 shows it. I just tested it by setting the alarm to go off in one minute, works quite well. You can use any sound you want for an alarm or music. I just picked Nature - Sea and sure enough, heard the waves and seagulls. And the funny part is, when I dismissed the alarm, I forgot about the Alarm Clock Plus module with which Mistress Victoria from the UK promptly told me in her ever-so-sweet British accent, "It's about time you woke up!". Hmmm, I should change that to say my own name. First time I ever tried it before.

Does this answer your question? If not, can you give details and a screenshot Meneldur? :confused:

The 'messenger' app by Google from the play store works well for me, I send and receive MMS attachments without any problems. Of course I have made the APN changes found here in this thread as well. Verizon APN settings

APN: vzwinternet

MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

MCC: 311

MNC: 480

Authentication Type:

APN Type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms

And changing the CDMA subscription to: RUIM/SIM

CDMA Roaming to: automatic

I still leave the preferred network type on: global
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wow, Google Messenger is a cute little app. Special thanks for the settings, Morr. I thought they only did Hangouts, didn't ever hear about Messenger before. There are plenty of good MMS/SMS apps out there. MMS is *way* better, you can send pictures, files, audio, and other stuff with it. Nice little gem you found, Morr. Remember how bent out of shape my2cents (Frank) and chinkster got over the sms app not working? (APN issues that would never stop.) Man I tried so hard to just get Frank to "try" something else, like an MMS app so he could see the photo slideshows that he got from his iPhone friends but he would not budge. Strange, Frank is a really decent guy, too. Now the proud owner of a Turbo. Corry is so bummed with that Turbo because he cannot root it and rom anymore. Was nice to see him stop in to say hello. I just saw chinkster in the CM12 group. He has something else now too. Oh wow, Google Messenger has built in voice typing. I use that all the time and could never do text w/out it. Neat the way you can send not only nice pictures, but background your message with it. That is cool!

I could understand neoramasay's desire to "just fix cm11". But I don't see that happening anymore. Once a company is done with a product and moves on to the next, there is very little, if any, ongoing support for it. It's like when you get say a great webcam that you really love, install Windows 7 or 8, and find no drivers for it. There is literally not a darned thing you can do but through it out and get a new one. Or, printer, or any other piece of hardware. And the fix is so easy too. Any half good coder could whip up a set of Windows 7/8 drivers for it but the company forbids it. "Go buy a new one so we can make money" is how they see it. Releasing drivers does not make them a dime. CM11 is not a money making project, but the theory is the same. All hands on CM12, NOW! ...and that's it.

I will take cm11 any day as it is. Nice rom, works great. Not going to throw a hissy-fit over a busted app that is easily replaceable. Something major like the dialer does not work, yeah, that would ruin the entire phone, but messenger apps are a dime a dozen. Being a Google app on a Google platform means I bet it runs really nice, low impact on the system, too. Great tip, thanks. I'm saving this in my CM11 files and tips folder. :good:

Wow, we have so many good people in here. Helpful, friendly, worlds of experience, and such a nice place to be. This is probably the best web board thread I have ever been a part of in my life. I will for sure miss it when the CM11 ride is over. :(

...but that will take a year at the very least. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
Hi Ohmster. Yeah, CM11 is still smoother, faster and more reliable than CM12 so out is what I use as my daily driver. I have not moved it to the stock slot though as I had hoped for a final M13 snapshot build, but if we don't get one then I may move the 2-2-15 nightly to the stock slot.

CM12 is getting better but it still causes the CPU to choke and freeze to often for me to rely on it. I have it in the 2nd slot and update it a couple times a week just to check the progress. Maybe when the android 5.1 changes are added to the mix it will get better.

I still have my backups of PA, LS and AOKP kitkat ROM's that I use occasionally but CM11 is still my daily driver for now.

I am also looking at upgrading my old RAZR Maxx but will still keep it as a spare. I can't afford a 'new' phone so I am looking at used phones on 'Swappa' and may end up with either a Droid Maxx or a Moto X, both are from 2013 but have a faster CPU and 2 gig of RAM and are going for under $200.00. The Moto X is rooted and the Droid Maxx can be rooted 'if' you get a model that does not yet have android 4.4.4 on it but those are harder to find than a Moto X.

I have enjoyed this thread, it really has been one of the friendliest and most helpful I have participated in.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I have been checking out several websites that deal in used or reconditioned phones. There is gazelle which is good and they do recondition and 'certify' the phones but they really only offer iPhone and Samsung. There are several other sites to get a used phone but 'Swappa' does seem to be the best. Another thing I like about Swappa is they list the phones by carrier so out is easy to find a good used phone that will work on Verizon or whatever carrier you need. I have seen the RAZR, RAZR Maxx, RAZR HD, Droid Maxx, nexus phones, Samsung, HTC, LG, etc.

And there are plenty for under $200.00 which is about as much ao I can afford, you can get one of our old RAZR's for under $100.00. But considering the RAZR came out in 2011, I am trying for a phone from 2013 with 2 GB of RAM. I an currently unemployed and working part time through a temp agency plus going back to school so money is really tight. So long as I can pick up a decent phone for under $200.00 to tide me over for another year or two that I can root and ROM I will be happy. At least until the project ARA modular phones come out in 2016 ;)

It is easy to activate another phone, even on Verizon you can usually do it online or just call the support line. The only real problem is if the sim cards are the same but if say you have a RAZR with a micro sim and move up to a newer phone that uses a nano sim then you can either pick up a new sim at the local provider or they can mail you one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Lol guys, at least I'm not the only one experiencing the weight of living (Bastille :D, I've only just really paid attention to their music now and I love it).

I am willing to pay up to what I was paying on my contract with the RAZR Maxx, no more. Since I can't get Motorola's here on contract (I want Motorola) at the moment, I must buy online. I've got a cheap contract now and saving the difference towards a new phone. If the phone costs $750 cash and I'm saving $25 a month ... Eek! Saved about $100 so far. But now it will be a long wait. I'll probably end up just adding the difference to what I've saved, because otherwise I won't have a "decent" phone to use (have a cheapie) by the time I've finished saving - surely this phone will no longer hold a charge etc.

I very much live month-to-month. But I am very disciplined and don't waste money on unnecessary things. But I do if I have cash to spare (and then I can waste a lot on keyboards/mice/earphones/eBay/etc).

When I put money aside for say groceries for the month, and I don't end up spending it all, I keep the rest (towards groceries only though) and just add the same amount the following month. This way it tends to grow, and sometimes it grows enough that I know it's safe to use for something else. But the idea is that if the next month's groceries exceed what was set aside, then previous months' cash will cover the difference.

Ohmster, your networks are so complicated. I can stick my sim card in any phone and it will work. Previously, like up until 2003 or something, phones would be network-locked (you'd have to find some little ((Indian)) business to try and unlock the device), but that is no longer legal here as far as I know. If you take out a contact with a network, no one can stop you from using the phone on another network - but obviously you must pay for the contract. I've noticed lately that when you take out a contract, they tell you that if you put in another network's sim card, you void the warranty. As if! Might as well be network-locked then. Don't know if they are even serious, not once have they rejected a phone for repairs due to what sim card you used.

I didn't mean for this to be so long, just felt like chirping in.

Wrong person. Never mentioned switching SIM cards. I did say I would sooner pay full price or buy a phone "elsewhere" than give up my unlimited data. My 22 year old daughter "thanked" me the other day for being a stubborn mule and keeping her on my plan, enter she has unlimited data. She rides the NY subway and the Long Island Railroad and is ALWAYS able to connect to data, thanks to me. Read continuously the, and takes out more books as she pleases....
