Yeah, I'm managing on 0622, but it's not like before. Audio cuts out.

This morning I missed two alarms (I know my phone was on vibrate, but don't think that silences the alarm). I don't know if I can blame this on the audio not working during the alarm time or if I just slept through (I have a tendency to struggle with waking up).

I know that when I was using TomTom, the audio would work and then stop working.

Phone does feel a bit sluggish as well, but I'm not struggling with black screens like on earlier builds this month.

I don't backup anymore, because I haven't been satisfied. The last backup I made was 0701 (but I don't have the actual install file) - which didn't seem all bad. Unfortunately, the earliest build I have kept is 0629 - which worked good enough for me. I download on my phone and delete builds to save space. Think I should keep backups from now on, on my PC.

I update from time to time over each build to test (ever since 0614), because I'm aware that if I end up going back to something like 0629, I will have to go clean, so I might as well just try some of the new builds (I usually will try a new build once a week if I have the energy).

Think we need patience now - it's not worth constantly updating. Report on new builds if you do try them. We still need to know what's going on.

Hi,

I've been with CM for the Razr since the beginning, and i have never find it that stable or smooth. The black screen problem way back was probably the most annoying bug. Waiting for the keyboard to appear to be able to write took so long that it made me consider to smash the phone with a sledgehammer and so on. No matter what version, Stable, M, RC, Nightly etc its always been the same. So slow and laggy.

But enough with this whining! I've now migrated to ParanoidAndroid, and it's just better in every aspect. First, its STABLE! And second its SMOOTH. With this i just want to recommend others on CM that experiencing the same problems as i do to try ParanoidAndroid! It's great!.

Was there any consensus regarding whether it's okay to flash the XT912 CM11 on Slot 1? Or should I definitely stick to Slot 2.

EDIT: While I'm at it, are these: gapps-kk-20131120-no_set_metadata still the best gapps to use with the current (12/02) build? Or are there newer.

Thanks a ton.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wow, this is quite a shift in the group. So many votes for Liquid Smooth cannot be a quirk, the rom must really be good to have so much praise heaped on it here.

Thanks for the report, Casper. This helps a lot of people out and confirms some of the issues they have. I have a 912 so your phone report is not quite the same as mine, but you do raise some good points, thanks.

I really haven't even bothered with any of the late July builds because the reports have been so bad and I myself had a bad time with July. Without Jake working tirelessly to install and report on new builds and Michael (stargo) to help me with some of the roms, this is a rough place now. Stargo has been taking time off from cm11, he is not gone but cannot put in the time like he did before. I did get a reply though, he said the theme engine wrecking the rom is pretty much fixed and mentioned that xposed modules should be disabled to see if they are contributing to the problem. Xposed modules do hook deep into the system and a bad one could really wreck things. Nice to hear from Stargo again. If he disappears we are really screwed, but he is not gone. I can reach him and get answers. That is comforting to know. ;)

I get black screen problems a lot and if there are issues like that in the current builds, I would see it pretty fast. 07/27 does not have much in the changelog, not so many things that can go bad so it might be worth trying out. Without Jake/Shaun installing and reporting, someone has to do it. I guess I will. Make a backup first and do the OTA update, report on how it goes. These are the reports that this group thrives on, and with them few and far between, we are screwed. I will try to help. Let you know how it goes. Appreciate the Liquid Smooth tip too. Good looking out fellows.

So what I am going to do is to install 07/27 over 06/30 OTA and see how it goes. I am not going clean and jumping through hoops to make this work. Either it does or it is bug ridden. Maybe a clean install would give better results but I am not going to "go clean" at every build or update. Might just as well switch to LS and give that a try instead of becoming a slave to CM11, and that is a shame because I really like cm11 and am somewhat loyal to the brand.

Let you know guys. :cowboy:

XT912 CDMA Spyder / RAZR

I still keep CM11 in slot 1 as my primary / daily driver. The current builds are running well for me. There have been a lot of 'av' updates recently and my music apps and Bluetooth have been running well. I have very little lag / delay when answering calls. My SMS and MMS are sending and receiving without problems. I normally do a totally clean install about once a month and do an OTA of each nightly build between fresh installs. I used to use exposed and some of the modules but it honestly felt like it caused my phone to lag and it feels smoother without it.

In slot 2 my current favorites are PA alpha 2 which is doing very well and it has the android 'L' recents which is functioning well.

My other current favorite for slot 2 is Liquid Smooth. It was a little buggy for a while but the current build is running very smooth and had been very good on battery.

As for 'jbx' kernal and trickster, I don't use them as often as I used to. The current builds are running very well so I don't feel that they really make much of a difference, at least not for me. Besides, tweaking things too much can cause problems.

I do still like to use 'pimp my ROM' and / or 'ROM toolbox' to tweak things a little.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I really like this report, morr22066. Very detailed, very informative. Just what we need here. A clear report and how another experienced rommer uses his phone. What add ons are good, what add ons are really no longer necessary, and the fact that you do like to pimp out your rom. Good job on reporting, buddy. You get a big thanks for that. ;)

I liked LS, but my VPN Softtoken (VIP Access) does not display properly unless I change the DPI to 160. A bit of a nuisance to change it and then change it back to 240 everytime.

Currently main ROM is Carbon and I dabble with CM11 & LS to see where things are at.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Funny thing is: I missed half the comments about LS, and was looking for a good second ROM (I run CM11 in stock). I tried PA, but missed some of the features I felt should be there, and was a little uneasy with an alpha build; couldn't get through setting up RR because it kept freezing up; and finally looked at Slimkat because several people had recommended it in the past. While trolling the slim thread, I became initially worried over the fact that the maintainer was stepping down, but was cheered to see that dtrail1 (of JBX fame) was taking over! I have it on slot 1 now and am surprised at the L goodies! Curious where this is going now, while we wait.

Hey man, let us know what is up with Liquid Smooth. Too many good reports to ignore. After speaking with stargo, the current cm11 build is really good now. Only thing left to check is deep sleep wake, like incoming call and power when deep sleep. So far, this thing wakes right up, no black screen, better than 06/30. Trebuchet really is pimped out and is now stable. No more theme engine issues. Bear in mind that this is an OTA update. I am not going to do that clean crap every time things get rough. This build so far has surpassed my wildest dreams.

Plugging in the charger resets all the battery stats for Wakelock and I just found that out, but my phone was showing awake 13% and that is pretty good. Each time I powered it on, it was sleeping and woke right up. Next is to call it when asleep and see how fast the screen lights. I think it is too early to try that now, need to wait at least an hour for this thing to nod out and then try it.

You know, we are not getting accurate reports anymore since Jake passed. He would always test every build and report his findings. Only problem with Jake was that "every rom works good" and clearly, that is not the case without much ado and fussing.

So Brian, we have to start making our own reports for the group. I was so spooked off cm11 in July that I would not even touch it. No good reports coming in. Since [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] asked what the problem was, theme engine fixed, try pulling xposed modules, I knew I had to take it for a test ride and report. Very surprised, 07/27 is awesome so far.

Let's try feeding the group some useful reports, Bri. You wanna do LS, fine, report LS. I am now rediscovering cm11 and I really like what I see so I will report cm11. Maybe this will help the thread get out of this rut and give them some decent options. Good work buddy. 'night! :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
That's truly a reason not to use the most stable, fastest rom with the most features [emoji53]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I was expecting this. I definitely agree with you. But in my defence, I honestly have heard PA spoken highly of long before I heard word from LS. And so my mind was always tuned to look to PA should I ever stray.

But I just really wanted to give others my experience. I'm sure it will help others who are indecisive.

But let's not stray too far here. We need to remember this is the CM11 thread.

Likewise seeing good results from 7/27. Had huge issues with 7/24 but those seemed to be resolved. Also noticed much fewer orange bars yesterday but it seemed to be riding more on 3g rather than LTE. Won't be out and about as much today but will see how it runs now that it's had a day to stabilize.

Likewise, now that Brian is no longer with us I will also try to be better about reporting more frequently since I'm definitely a bit of a crackflasher.

By the way, 7/27 has been very good. Battery life has been good and I really dont have anything to complain about. 7/26 had an issue that would prevent me from listening to music, but that was fixed. It's smooth and rather fast. I only wish they would incorporate the APN fix for us Verizon users.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
This is a little bit misleading because that build also includes all of the changes from all the other nightlies before it. I suppose that if you are talking about just moving up one version that is true, but it seems that most move up after riding a certain build for a week or more. I personally update almost everytime there is a new one available. After getting the APN issue (nearly) fixed using the methods outlined a few pages back, I've been pretty happy with most of the builds. I say nearly because I still get the APN error, just a lot more rare than it used to be. I continually see improvement. Sometimes a commit gets reverted, the developers are really pretty good about fixing bugs that are introduced by the next build.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That is true, 2¢. Installing a build without many changes does not insure you will get a good one. But, without so many changes in the build, one stands a good chance of not having as many issues. At least, I found it to be helpful and I know Brian Hughes uses this method. I am really happy to hear that you have a manageable build installed and are able to use it. Dude, you have issues, a lot. I get the miserable black screens and you get the APN/Data issues. Your issues really do seem more often than most.

2¢, if you install new builds frequently, can you post some reports on how well these builds work for you sometimes? Without Jake and others reporting, help from Michael, it is getting very difficult for many members to decide on what builds to install. I just bit the bullet and installed blindly to see how the current build really is. I did not do it quite blind, stargo did inform me that the current builds were running well and that the awful theme engine problems were fixed. So I felt pretty good about installing 07/27 and of course, reporting on it to the group. A lot of people are gun shy now and have given up to try other roms. We need reports. And I really do appreciate your taking the time to give us an update on how you are doing with your phone. Especially with the APN problems you so often get. This is a really great heads up, thanks a lot. Any build installs you do and report on would be a terrific bonus and may encourage others to report for yours and everyone's benefit. This is great advice, 2¢ because you are more or less quiet and keep things to yourself unless having bad problems. It is nice to see how you deal with it and manage to keep your phone up and running. Big plus for speaking out, bra. I think that location and local carrier are what causes some to have excellent results and others to have black screens, signal, and APN issues. One size fits all does not seem to always work for phone roms. At least until they fully mature. You are a good weather vane that can help others with similar problems.

Thanks for checking in, 2¢, I really appreciate it. ;)

Does anyone know what the change on the new nightly with our device when the changelog says "Make incoming call screen style configurable "<br/>
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That is hard to say until you get a chance to see it. One thing I know is that the dialer and phone screens are not very configurable. I get the dialer and a lot of speed dials under it, yet I have no idea of how to put someone on that speed dial list. Swiping any one removes it and I did this by accident, but putting someone on speed dial sure enough eludes me.

If *anybody* here knows how to add contacts to the speed dial list, please enlighten us, this is a tough thing to figure out. I may ask the developer this question and if I get an answer, I will share it.

The upgrade you mention is in three parts. My guess is that it will allow some customization of the dialer or call window. That would be a very welcome feature and I for sure would like to try it out. The changes you mention are in the 07/29 build. I am on 07/27 and am becoming very comfortable with it. Once I get this backed up in the event that 07/29 is a step backwards, I will try it and report what it does. You can do the same if you want and if you do, please report what the new changes are and how well it works and how you like it. Thanks for mentioning it. :cowboy:

EDIT:

I just did the update to 07/29 and if there are any changes to the telephone interface, I cannot find them. All appears as it did in 07/27. Good rom but nothing I can find to customize the dialer or telephone UI. Often the developers will incorporate changes that allow them to make future changes and this may be what it is. For users, nothing there that I can change. But the rom itself is good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:

I hope that this changes. Yes, it is very useful the way it configures itself. But like a dummy, I went and swiped one off and could not understand how to put it back in time. There is no menu anywhere I can find to add someone to speed dial. Maybe the upcoming change on 07/29 will do it. I am going to backup this very nice 07/27 and will try it out and see. Of course, I will report on it. Thanks Bri! ;)

EDIT:

I have a backup running now on this good build of 07/27 and am eager to OTA to 07/29 to see what these new changes to the phone might be. Who knows? Maybe it will be a bust, but there is one way to find out. Thank goodness for the 64Mb SD Card because I can make backups.

For others that want to try new builds and do not have the room to make multiple backups, use something simple and easy like AirDroid to quickly and easily transfer your /SDCard/TWRP/<number>/backups to the PC to retain them and allow room for more backups. When you need the backup, use AirDroid to copy them back or even other WiFi file managers or mass storage. Keep you all updated. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear: when you select the star on a contact, they become a "favorite contact". All of your favorite contacts are automatically on the top of your speed dial list.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Man, I've done that. I use the stars all the time. One of my best favorites was on speed dial, I accidentally swiped him away, he is still a favorite, but is nowhere to be found on the speed dial. Okay, backup complete, booting to system now to see if I can take off the favorite status and put it back. See if my contact goes back on speed dial.

Ack! Orange icons. Oh, cleared right up. Nice.

Oh, the star on my favorite contact that I want on speed dial is gone. Let's fix that and see what happens. This phone app is pretty weird. We have the dialer with speed dial and history, and we have a Contacts list that contains favorites. Who the hell thought up this dumb scheme to put them in separate apps?

OMG, he is a favorite again and viola! He is back on speed dial. Good looking out Brian, you are my hero. :o

I got Macintosh apples and caramel wraps. Thanks to Brian Hughes, I just earned me a caramel apple. Good looking out, DUDE! :good:

I am going for 07/09 next. Somebody had to do it and changes to the dialer or phone app seem very welcome. Will let you all know. 07/27 is good to go! :cool:
