It is a good question, we all heard the answer one way or another, but I don't think it was "Officially Explained". We can thank Google for imposing this restriction on the EXT SDCard. It is not like you cannot use it or anything. I keep my Safe Strap backups there and Titanium Backup too. But default save for pictures, videos, downloads, anything is a no go. CM10 could do it, but that was jellybean, this is KitKat, a new version of android. And there are two kinds of Android. I will give you a quote from a really good page on this open source (anybody can change or do what they want with it.) issue surrounding Android.

Is Android Really Open Source?

You see, there is Google Android, the project that Google builds and shares with its handset partners, then there is the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The two are not exactly the same. One of them includes proprietary technologies that are not available as open source (guess which one?).

The technology we use in our phones with cm11 is Google Android. That is why we need to install the Google Apps when we install cm11. The gapps package. Google, for whatever reason, has locked off the ExtSDCard as available for default space. Only if you have an app or something that supports it, you just cannot save to Ext Card anymore. Shame, videos take up a LOT of space and just a couple minutes of HD video would wipe out your internal card space. Why not just get a big SD Card and save the video there? Google locked it out and the code for it is secret and locked, so the rom developers cannot default to it and all the apps cannot either. Well, Google apps and most apps anyway. That kind of sucks man. Google was always "The ultimate coolness" in a company. But ever since they sold public stock, they started to change. Still a very benevolent company, but not exactly "Mr. Nice Guy" anymore. :(

Answer: No, you cannot save by default to Ext SDCard anymore.

I was in Israel for the last week and got significantly less signal strength on the custom ROM compared to the stock ROM (I was on 6/17 CM11 OTA using an Israeli SIM card). I used the Network Signal Strength app to test both and that also showed 15-20 dBm difference (stock being better). The CM11 showed - 100 dBm and stock showed - 80 dBm. (Israel only has 3G.) However, my call quality was great on both and Speedtest showed the same data speed.

I'm not sure how that agrees or disagrees with Ohmster but I wanted to add that info.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
From what I know about linux... The kernel can be and probably is compressed in CM, Android, and normal linux. LZO is a popular option for this. If we speed up the decompression we essentially speed up the boot process. However it may not be that noticeable. On my linux pc it is only a matter of about 1-2 seconds difference between using a compressed kernel and a kernel that has no compression at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
For those of you having wake screen issues or "black screens of death". I have found a solution. In Trickster go to governor control and search for no_2nd_CPU_screen_off to value 0. This should help with voltage and screen responsiveness. Cheers! :)

Performance-improvements will not be noticeable. The first three commits are just necessary for the last one, which is a critical security fix in LZO. So only a fix for a possible way to exploit your device.

I don't see that item to change. Is it only on the JBX kernel?

Maybe I should get on the JBX kernel and try it. The screen delay when I get an incoming call is killing me. Half of the time I miss the call because it doesn't come up in time.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] archie1988:
Your phones become a little bit laggy? or its because of google launcher?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
He's talking about boot process taking a bit longer - with JBX, dependant on the selected tweaks and settings, it could take a little bit longer. If you're using JBX and the phone feels laggy, try another governor. But usually the default setting is good for performance and battery. But each user has his own preferred fine tuning.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] archie1988:
You mean jbx kernel? Is it ok to flash it on gummy? I havent changet any thing its with interactive governor

Edit: and what with the sd card mount problem? I still got it

And FC when trying to turn off Sync from quick toggles com.android.systemui
[Motorola Droid RAZR] saintanthony:
I hit this as well, but after a couple of reboots, it was acting normal again (first reboot lost access to SD card, but WiFi was acting normal, all was well after the second reboot).

I did notice that the bluetooth did not want to turn back on again after I turned it off though, so be careful with that. In order to get it up again, I had to turn it off, reboot, attempt to turn it back on, let it fail and FC, then reboot the phone again.

Hope that helps!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
SD card is related to the rom or recovery. I'm using SS 3.65 and don't have sdcard issues.

That quick toggle problem is also caused by the rom.

I'm using my latest CM11 build and the sync toggle works fine.

What are the differences between installing the stock or slot?

Is it safe to install on stock?

I'll be able to download the apps to sd?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] woonaval:
To avoid the "unable to take screenshot" issue, I created the folder /Pictures/Screenshots/ in my sdcard (I can't check if internal or external) and it worked again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vazersecurity:
I am using dtrail's because I like CM's special apps such as DSP Manager. I don't like that Gummy doesn't have one. And dtrail's seems more like the real KitKat released to the Nexus devices. It's more about preference. Gummy had a lot more customization options, especially in the QuickSettings. I didn't like Gummy that much.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mr-Glass:
Probably a dumb question, but I thought there were two Roms at one point from dtrail1.. 1 without JBX and 1 with.. Nothing personal towards the kernel, however I use Wifi 100% of the time and found wifi very draining on the battery with JBX compared.. So I guess the question is does dtrail1's Rom have his kernel with the Rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1droidmod:
Wow, really? Brilliant yet simple. Iam always over thinking.. Nice find!!

Dang.. Folder Pictures/Screenshots already is on phone. So i created folders on my sdcard-ext and still a "No Go."

Thanks for the info on the LZO changes. Also, thanks for the cpufreq tweaks. I'm on 07/02 and noticed tonight how the phone seemed always "ready to go" on wake up and is smoother overall as well!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi all,

There is one problem here, display may become corrupt like this post in Q&A section.

Tested from CM11 20140628 ~ 0701 umts_spyder, problem still exists.

I've noticed that this problem happens when I connected to HDMI.

If screen go off ( timeout or manually ), screen will corrupt when I bring it on.

Force reboot is the only solution.

Can someone help to test it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MjolnirMan:
I did an OTA from 6/9 to 7/2 (and then 7/3) and I got comparably fantastic performance, but spontaneous reboots regardless of activity - when playing music, when browsing, and when letting sit on my desk doing nothing. Restored back, but is anyone else having this issue? I'm willing to do a clean install but it's a PITA to do on a regular basis.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Yeah, I got some reboots too. I think it is largely becase of the live wallpaper I was running. With just a photo, I haven't noticed the issue...yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dshulman:
No reboots for me on 7/2 and I'm using it for as much as I can. Streaming music, email, pictures, no live wallpaper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
7/3 has brought back APN issues for me again...:eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah. You know, I had already downloaded 07/03 and was ready to hit the YES message to install when I hit the message from dshulman here. Bad build. I avoided it and dropped down to 07/02 instead. Very good build. Just having and monitoring this thread for reports is a gold mind for those of us that really must have a reliable phone. Follow the thread, install good builds, and avoid the reported bad builds and you can skate like this for a very, long, time. Just make backups along the way for when the inevitable burn happens. "Mining the thread for builds" is a very basic skill that once acquired, gives you a reliable phone with over 90% certainty. It is a skill that I hope everyone to is able to learn and will help anyone with it.

Thanks for the reports, 2¢ and dshulman! You both get Thanks for that. :laugh:

K tho iam a rom dev ...am kinda new to this phone as yesterday only I got my new xt912...after flashing cm11 i cudnt get any gsm signal to appear....in status also it nothing displayed except static figures..Iam from india - bsnl...does any1 has any fix for this or yet available that i didnt find.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
[MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION] Do you have an xt912 or xt910 phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] arnab:
I have XT912...I think I mentioned it already,
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
What ROM did you flash?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] arnab:
Its cm11..all things i have mentioned k
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I think the question is whether you flashed the spyder or spyder-umts build. For xt912, you should flash spyder no matter where you are in the world, your sim card will then determine your network.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] arnab:
After flashing cm11 for spyder thrs no signal...n BTW am not a noob k...I can make n receive call but the signal level won't show.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
No insult intended, sometimes we have to cover all the bases when we ask questions because we don't know you yet and can't assume how much you do know. Have you checked signal strength in your phone status under settings? How many bars do you see with stock ROM? And finally, the bar graph in cm11 is known to read lower, sometimes quite a bit lower for the same signal strength. Obviously, if you have full bars on stock and no signal indication on cm11, we have an issue. I might start with the dBm readings under status, how do they compare?

You didn't mention if you have any problems with data...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] arnab:
Its -120dBm no change nothing... Fixed...in stock I can get full signal in gsm tho
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dshulman:
I traveled through Israel with this issue and a really worried about it as I have the same problem. However, calls worked great on both cm11 and stock and my data speeds were the same as tested with the Speedtest app. Try downloading Speedtest to see if your data speeds are the same.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Um.. XT912 is not GSM.

XT910 is.

If you use GSM in India, you should be using an XT910. XT912 is CDMA.

Surely?

Confused as to how it works on stock though. As far as I know XT912 will not work in my country (that's why there are two versions).

Edit: OK, looking at GSM Arena it does mention GSM and CDMA for XT912 (only GSM for XT910).

Make sure 4G/LTE isn't active. Try 2G/EDGE or 3G/HSDPA
[Motorola Droid RAZR] arnab:
Plz triple check ur facts bro...XT912 is a GSM cum CDMA cum LTE band 700Mhz phone....and yea GSM is working flawlessly in stock.

The MCC/MNC code is locked for US gsm only...Outside it works fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I did check (see edit above), you were too quick with a response.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
7/4 seems like a solid build. No problems that i have noticed yet. MMS working again, so I am happy. I might ride this build for a few days and see if I can find anything wrong with it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No black screen? 07/02 is giving me a real hard time answering calls because it takes the screen too long to wake up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Just out of curiosity [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], are you still using Battery Doctor? I had to dump it because it seemed to be introducing instabilities. In my case, my phone had a very hard time going into deep sleep with it installed. (Plus, I hate pushy add-ridden apps. I tried a couple they were advertising, and they were too invasive for my liking. Just my opinion.)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Just came to Spain this week and had similar issues of very weak signal and inability to txt (also on an XT912 - Verizon) . Did a quick Google search and found this (http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android) which fixed my issues. I was going to put together a more detailed post when I got back and saw if it created any issues back in the States. I did not do the hidden menu optimization piece. I also ended up picking up a Vodafone Sim and it is working great. Still see the occasional orange bars but much less than I was seeing at home. Running 06/29 since not sure how the patch would do with an upgrade and don't want to take any risks while away from home since everything seems to be working.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] arnab:
Thanx alot...tho i flashed mokee with everything working perfectly..Il fix this issue in SOKP and other ROMS that I will now release in this community.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, and I agree with you, the "in your face ads" are pushing my button, pretty hard. One thing Ohmster hate's are ads on anything! Do I really need it? Probably not, one annoying thing it has sometimes that usually I like is the charging wallpaper, but I plug in the phone in the car so then the paper blocks Maps. Grrrr........!

I might just dump it. I don't think I really "need this thing", but some of the builds had really bad battery life and Battery Doctor really does help with that. Just a "little too pushy" with the ads. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Install ADAway and xad, xad is for xposed, never ads again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks but I have it and it will not stop these ads, DumbleCore. They are integral to the app and as long as it is running, the ads are "in yer face". No browser or anything. Sucks when they take a "free app" that you can use, if you like it and want the more advanced features, choice to buy or not, right? Not these guys, like Go SMS Pro, they have to shove them in your face. Go SMS Pro is not bad like Battery Doctor. The ads in Go are Text messages and are not that bad. Battery Doctor, really goes to the edge of your nerves and just "backs off". I don't really need, it. Going to take it out right now. Buy hey, you reminded me, time to update the hosts file in AdAway! Good looking out. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
[MENTION=4977351]DumbleCore[/MENTION] Agreed about adaway :thumbup: I haven't used Xad, but as Ohmster explained, Battery Doctor gets you with "Wouldn't you like to also try THIS app?" Or "This would work so much better if you also installed THIS!" Very annoying, and built into the operation of the app.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] The point I was trying to make in my obtuse fashion, was the possibility that it might actually be contributing to your wake up issues. I'll be curious to know if you see a difference.

How about it out there? Anyone having black screen/wake up issues, are you using a battery-saver app? This is a general shout-out to see if we have any compatibility problems.

I've had horrible luck with them, even the Xposed module "Deep Sleep Battery Saver" decreased my deep sleep drastically somehow. I've had best battery results on the included kernel with no "helpers".

This is somewhat old but starting last Friday I was only getting 1.5 to 2.5 mb on what was claiming to be an LTE connection. No settings change made any difference, nor revisions to previous nightlies. I decided there must be some local Verizon problem and was proven last night when suddenly things got better.

This is the highest LTE speeds I've personally seen: 43.95Mbps down and 16.15Mbps up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No Bri. Took out Battery Doctor on 04/07 and my screen is FAR too slow to respond to give this a thumbs up. Removing BD did not help with the issue, nor seemed to have made it worse. Leaving it out anyway, seems like a system overload or something.

OMG, now THAT is *very* good. Now wouldn't you just *love* to have speeds like that anywhere? You can, use the WiFi AP! I do mine, even when power out and on laptop or tablet. Nice! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I don't know why the black screen problems dog you so bad then, personally, I've never seen it. I suppose unless we all test a clean install with no added apps, we're always going to be trying to figure out 'who done it'.

7/4 went well for until today. It would not deep sleep today without a reboot. So, I went ahead and moved onto 7/6.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
I don't have black screen or wake up issues. Fairly often, I will see a black background on the home screen for a split second or so before my simple wallpaper background is displayed but I don't think this is what others are talking about.

I probably run a "boring" phone, no Xposed, no battery saver or other "tweak" apps installed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SimpTheChimp:
Are we still having these orange connection bars issue? I am on the latest build (7/6) and have been applying Ohmster's APN fix (Ohmstr_APNs_signed.zip) but I still end up getting orange bars numerous times during the day.

Of course, switching airplane mode on and off usually fixes it temporarily, but it is getting aggravating. Just wondering if there is another fix I need to do, or if this is a continuing issue? :(

I still get them all the time. I also still lose APN after about a day, then the phone gets hot and it sucks the life out of the battery. I keep hoping that someone will stumble upon the fix, because I sure can't figure it out... I think the two issues are related.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Actually, that sounds more like three issues! The last time I had anything remotely like that much trouble, I backed up everything with tibu, then went clean and s.l.o.w.l.y added things back until I started having issues again. In my case it was no sleep/overheating, and I found the app that was causing it. Can't remember now what it was, though.

Just what you wanted to hear￼
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
LOL! You are sooooooooo funny, Brian. :laugh:

Uhm, I have been doing this for a long time my friend. Clean install? I have done many of them, many. But for whatever reason, my phone, with my provider, in my location, has always given me this problem at times with CM11. At times. Then, the software "gets right" and the phone is smooth as silk. I never in my life have experienced an APN issue, I don't even know how it manifests itself. But chinkster and 2¢ sure do, and I believe them. Can I fix it? Yeah, get the right rom installed. That is why I am rather cautious about updating and rarely "just update", because it is there. About going clean again, I am just tired of it. I save my last clean install as a backup so it I want, I can revert to that and update. That install does not have black screens. There is no conspiracy here my friend, I am just tired of "Going Clean" unless I have to. But I do admire your determination. Thank bra. :cool:

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] Yeah, I get all that, nobody wants to hear, "Seriously, this tooth HAS to come out!" But sometimes the pain of keeping it is greater than the pain of losing it. ;)

I know, I know, not very helpful tonight, but, like you, I've been building OTA on OTA for quite a while now. The last time I went to a clean start was when I accidentally cleared my internal storage (ouch, that still hurts to think about it), all my slots, all my backups, hosed stock slot because I had tried to restore a saved stock backup and it decided to act write protected. Yep, Matt's Utility and start over with a 'new' phone. EVERYTHING gone I had built up over months, and half my apps from developer threads, not Play Store, so they didn't come back. :P

Just one of my war stories...

Have a good night, all.
