[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
@rah_asia where is your cm11 system installed? Slot 1 or another Safe Strap slot, OR, do you have it installed in the stock partition?

Ohmster's Current Safe Strap Partitions for Droid Razr Devices

This is weird but is apparently bothering you so much that it needs to be addressed. When CM11 started out, we all used pa-gapps, done deal, always worked. Now that the pa-gapps dev has hung up his hat for good, we are left for ourselves to find a suitable gapps package for our custom roms.

To install a custom rom such as cm11 NEW, you must flash the rom along with the gapps package for that Android version and to your liking. Once your rom is installed and running, it is not necessary to install gapps any longer, just update the rom if that is what you are doing. gapps are a core set of Google services necessary to run and maintain the device and different packages give you more or less Google apps, depending on which ones you want, like, need, and have room for.

When I install gapps, I always install the minimal package because those mega gapps packs can quickly make short work of your /system partition and eat it up pretty quickly. I had the Razr turned on today to check some things, noticed there were several updates and tried to install them, only to find insufficient space. Make no mistake about it, these are not your grandmother's apps and services. They are now designed to be BIG, do it all, and take advantage of all that dreamy horsepower that new smartphones have to offer. I used to update apps anytime and update appeared, and, it led to me running out of space. Now I do not think that is good idea anymore. If you have an app, it does everything you want it to do, why update it? Chances are your nice app will be bloated and bigger, and may not offer any new or desired features at all. It will simply take up more room, may become more aggressive with ads, and may become more aggressive about exiting when you are finished with it. I had this issue with Pandora just the other day. Used it to stream music to car audio, got home, exited the app, and that was that, until, I noticed days later that Pandora is still running! I had to use the Greenify donation pack to Block App State Abuse so it would hibernate when not in use. Pandora was masquerading as a "working app" and thus not be hibernated by the system and this was total BS. It was not "working for me". No user interface window, it was "spying on me", and that I can live without.

If you have a running phone and have only updated the rom, there is no need at all to install or update gapps. They update themselves and what you are trying to install will most likely be older than the current apps and services that are already on the phone. Reaching 25% and then stopping sounds like you are out of room to update. My CM11 is installed on the stock partition.

A very good tool to use here, albeit a bit confusing, is DiskUsage. It is a 5 star app and is totally free. You have 3 partitions for CM11; /system. /data, and /cache. The /cache partition is very small and rarely, if ever, give problems due to size. As I explained earlier, I cannot update apps now because I am out of space. But what space is it, that I am out of? I will go to Play Store, My Apps, and pick one to update. I use Google Calendar all the time on PC and Android so let's try that one. Nope, not happening.

​

So just what space am I so short on? Break out DiskUsage and scan for [Root Required] storage card. Almost 8 gigs to work with. Of that Media takes about 66%, and Apps the remaining 33%. Also present are the Safe Strap rom slots. Not very helpful. Try gong back to check system and data, these partitions *are* within the current safe strap slot, be it a slot or stock. I have 344 Mb of free space in my current /data folder. Not very much and not enough to allow very much updating at all, if any. Google Natural Voice UK Female voice data is 250 Mb all by itself, IIRC. If I want to install updates, I will for sure have to clear out a lot more room in the /data partition.

So what does my system partition look like? 193.5 Mb, not going to be doing much Google updates there, that's for sure. Dwillian used to like to bump up his /system partition from the recommended 700 Mb to 800 Mb so that he could flashj the Google Play zip file. This file is supposed to give you all of the newest Google Play services and not just "for games", but for all important Google services. I never found this to be useful and have not done it. Like I said, Google will update all of it's own core services in the background while the rom is running and the phone is on with a data connection. WiFi or cellular data.

I am not currently using the Razr these days so I am in no hurry to try and "fix this" issue. If CM11 was installed on a rom slot, then I could size up the /system and /data partitions considerably. But when installed on stock, you do not have this liberty and must trim your apps, media, and any unnecessary apps to make more room.

While we are using DiskUtility, let's see what /cache looks like. Just as I expected, a whole lot of nothing. The partition is 1007 Mb in size with 974 Mb free. Now I doubt that this one post will solve all of your problems, but it should give you the tool you need for analysis and and a way to get started. You can always make a backup of the current system, then drastically uninstall and clear out the /system and /data partitions and try again to get your answer. Then, restore your backup so that once you convince yourself you are on the right track, you can make these changes gracefully and not "butcher" your current rom my friend. Good luck. ;)
