Oh, I had a Thanks up my sleeve! :laugh:

Welder! Gosh we are friends and you disappears and you live in another country and you have an XT910 phone. Wow, I thought you were gone. It pains me to lose friends. As you must have heard, we just lost Jake and that really was tragic. Man, losing you would be like losing Mr. Chen or someone nice. Glad you are here. So, you have been playing other roms? What did you find, anything good? I am back on cm11 because the late July builds are good. Finally!

Good to hear from you man. We are friends so you can always drop a PM. Take care my friend. :cowboy:

I like to try new things and this AutoKiller Memory Optimizer seems like an easy version of Greenify. Greenify works very well, but you have to tell it what to make sleep. This Memory app should pick things for you. But giving it a try, everything is "Pay now", almost 5 bucks. I do not mind paying for a useful app but I cannot do anything with this app and I for one am sure not paying for something I cannot test.

Yes, the rom is slow. But I do have Greenify and can use WakeLock to help find what is keeping the phone awake and some CPU and memory monitors to see what is dogging the system. Then I can use my donation version Greenify to make it so. "Number one, Engage!"

Oh, ...wait a minute. There is a movie on the Play Store page where the guy shows how to use it. And it looks like he has the free version because it does have ads. The man in the video also mentions links and information on the developer's page. Maybe I can get some good tips for this app and use them. I still do not want too many apps so if this tool points out what is dogging my memory, then I can set Greenify to knock them out. I have 135 Mb of RAM now, I want to play with this and learn and then I will report back.

Man, for the life of me, I cannot find these presets. How are you getting them? Is this a donate feature?

This looks pretty neat. I will play and let you know. Thanks buddy!. :cowboy:

This app has to go. I cannot find the presets, the few tweaks I applied, 5 of them, loses my Cool Tool monitor, I gain 6Mb of memory for all this effort, and it is not useful on my system. Maybe I am missing something, but I can do everything this app does with Greenify and a little research. Nite!

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], one more crumb I found out about the speed dial screen: the favorite contacts start out in alphabetical order, but apparently you can press and hold on a favorite contact, then drag it to reorder them! Not quite intuitive...

It's like playing with different ROMs, you wish someone would write man pages for the different features. I've always liked PIE launcher from the LMT app, but trying to use SlimPIE on any ROM that included it just frustrated me until I found out you didn't start it with a tap on the screen border, but with a swipe into the screen. AARGH! Just a simple instruction would save us so much trouble sometimes! :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Dude, I don't understand the PIE thing at all. I looked at it, seemed overly complicated way to simplify things, and I already know how to navigate the phone. Wish I could help. If you want to do some pages, I will try to help. But I tend to stay with cm11 and help others when I can. As well as "be the social worker" for the group. :o

Sounds dumb but with a little finesse, I find that it does help and I have gotten many members to come out and help. Now THAT, is a really good feeling. Just wish I had more Thanks tokens to give out.

If you need help, ask. But the PIE thing blows me away. I am sure that someone here knows and uses it. Perhaps they will come forward and lend a hand. Especially real life use and how they use it, not just "how it works".

'night. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
The only real advantage to PIE, which is also in gravity box, is to replace the nav buttons and save screen space; it also allows you to define extra "buttons", giving you instant menu access to favorite applications like the app launcher that gravity box embeds in your nav bar.

All this in a menuing system that hides off-screen when you're not using it. I have used both the GB navbar approach and PIE. It's kind of a toss-up which one I like better, but PIE not filling up my screen when not in use is kind of nice. I have my favourite applications assigned to the second row of buttons using both tap and long-press. The freedom of choice is what android is all about :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I get this part Brian. You can make slide menus like to swipe lockscreen. My problem is that I don't know what to put in it and so I never do it. I can get at all these features anyway and they are not difficult to access. That is why I didn't go for it.

Hey man, the late July roms are really good, but a bit slow. Could be memory issues. One lad suggested AutoKiller Memory Optimizer and I looked at it. It is a free app and you can buy the pro version for like $4.50 but I cannot find any of the presets, the video on the Play Store page is not the same as the app itself. I am sure that Greenify could do all this and more, it is just a matter of figuring out what apps or services to put to sleep. How is your rom speed? Good, a little slow? What do you think, Greenify more stuff to free up memory? I have Android Tuner Free and man, is that a cluster of tools and tweaks. In memory cleaner I can see I have 146Mb free. It has a clean button, let's see what it does. Hmm, gave me 21Mb free. Much better than the other app I tried. It doesn't show me what it cleaned in this screen other than a general pie chart. There is a wrench but that is a configure menu, not going to mess with that right now and a baby on the bar, he takes you to a web page that explains the pie chart. A lot of stuff you can do in there but man, you have to be sure of what you are doing.

I want to find stuff to Greenify to see if I can claim more memory. But what more to Greenify? Wow, Android Tuner Free has excellent CPU and GPU managers for governors and it gives really good charts and real time graphs showing what is going on. Well, I have 182Mb memory free still, this is a good tool. You want to try and figure out what is slowing the rom down? I will work on it, you are welcome to join me. :cowboy:

7/31/14 is good. It has settled in nice. There is a kernel update, so check it out! :good:

That's a tribute to Jake! Does that sound about like something he would write? :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, 2¢. I was wondering about the next ROM myself. Thank you for testing and reporting. Of course, thanks you, I am going for it! Thanks buddy! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmberumenb:
If this version is installed on the XT912 the GSM will stills working???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Ohmster, let me try to simplify why I use MAC.

I get 10 GB WiFi at my provider's hotspots (mostly some restaurants and other places) . This WiFi data is part of my cellphone contract.

Essentially I am allowed to use 2 devices - my cellphone (primary device) and a secondary device (maybe a laptop).

If I use my cellphone, when I connect to the hotspot I must select an EAP method. Here I must select SIM, but alas, I do not have that option and so my phone cannot work as a primary device. From what I understand the hotspot will detect that I am running on their network and that I have the WiFi benefit, and so it allows me to connect.

Since I cannot connect this way, what I do is I only use a "secondary device".

To use a secondary device, all I do is login to my profile on my provider's website and link the MAC address that will be used as a secondary device (so I link my phone's MAC address). I can change this address and put my brother, a colleague, or whoever on. If the hotspot picks up that MAC it will allow it.

I must tell you that the primary and secondary device do not connect to the same SSID. Each hotspot has two SSIDs - one allows the contract phone/sim to connect, and the other allows the secondary device (that was set up) to connect.

So with a generic MAC, essentially anyone running a custom ROM with this MAC can connect to the hotspot - and they may not even realise why, and just assume it's open to all - using of my 10gb. This could though be further complicated should someone else link this generic MAC to their profile - but I don't believe anyone has anyways - and I am using one of the "smaller" network providers as it is, so that may help to an extent.

Hope this makes some more sense.

Free public WiFi is not a huge thing here yet (can you say backwards?), so it may seem odd to you. Essentially you would just connect and get on with it - as I do at home.

Besides my potential "problem", I have been fine using this generic MAC address for a month now and I can't say anyone actually connected with the same MAC; but the possibility of an issue is more than likely.

And besides, a lot of us now have the same MAC addresses which is not really the way it should be.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
This seems to be a bug. Originally CM used the original /pds partition, but at some point devs decided to create a clone of it in /data. Starting from this point I see my WiFi MAC address being corrupted every few times I update CM. The only cure is to restore the original nvs_map.bin file and run wifical.sh.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Antiapplekid:
Thank You

I just wanted to take time to thank the developers for still working on such a old device. I have recently upgraded to the Moto X but I still use my old phone for Work for checking email ect and the default rom is way to slow to use since I am use to my new phone. I do have a question what is the best way to get this phone to run faster any thing I can do to get the last little power out of my Droid thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You know, I tried to read this like 3 times and you know what I got out of this? A major headache. Casper, you told me an awful lot about other locations, carriers, plans, and the XT910 phone. You cannot live in the United States so where in the world do you live that makes your phone, data, and WiFi, this complicated?

For me on Verizon in South Florida, I get unlimited data. Verizon is probably the Cadillac of cellphone carriers, but they are expensive. Real nice people, so polite and help you with anything you need, until you complain about the money. $150/Mo for a phone? Come on! Mention money to Verizon and then they are not your friend anymore. Makes me want to drop them but the unlimited data is really nice. And this 4G is fast as hell, same as home cable. We have to pay them $20/Mo for Hotspot (WiFi AP) whether you use it or not. With cm11, I can do that anytime I want and Verizon has no clue about it, so, no billing for it. I do use this for power outrages so I can watch Netflix in HD on my laptop. And, it lets me use my 10.1 tablet anywhere to watch TV or movies, surf the web, and it makes sitting in waiting rooms a lot more comfortable. Public WiFi here in offices like hospitals or Dr. Offices is really low bandwidth. Good for email or web surfing, but you cannot watch Netflix on it.

As far as your MAC address goes, I will leave that to the experts. I know a lot about phones and how to root and rom them, but this advanced MAC system is a bit out of my area of expertise. Thankfully, we have a LOT of brains in here and the right people do step up to help. I still want to know where you live that makes free public WiFi so scarce. Thanks Casper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Haha Ohmster, sorry if I ended up complicating things.

The MAC thing is not a major problem really, but it is now known. We all live so far apart that it's almost miniscule really. Just thought to hear from others on this.

I can use normal mobile data no problem, but I get a limited amount per month and must buy more if I want more data. They offer free WiFi on their contracts, but it is protected so only us who have a contract plan with them can use it. I can connect to free WiFi spots as well, but some spots still require you to register or you get like 50mb free or something useless.

I found a free spot today actually, which as far as I can tell, is unlimited. I painted you an awful picture I guess. It's not complicated at all.

It's just been a slow transition here I guess.

I stay in Cape Town, South Africa! ;)

Trying out 31/07 now, seems good but haven't used it long enough yet.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Ack! Cape Town Africa. I see. Man I am surprised you have internet at all down there, bra. Living in Cape Town, I would think you would be grateful for anything you have, much less sophisticated communication and internet devices. No wonder there are no free public WiFi spots. Well, I guess you can watch the ground and someday kick up a nice 8 Karat diamond or see some beautiful African Lions grazing on the Savannah. That would be pretty cool. Just stay away from them rhinos, I hear they can be pretty mean when they charge. I wish you could snap a couple of pictures on your phone and send them. That would be really, really cool.

Oh you did do 07/31 and it is good. Awesome, so I can keep updating. We have a problem in this group. Many people are updating and many people are waiting for "the word" to update. Be a good lad and give us a heads up when you try a new rom. Some of us need that information.

Alright Casper, our phones and systems could not be more different if they tried. I will do for you what I can and of course, we have a lot of specialist brains here at XDA on tap so chances are, you can get a lot of helpful information here. Take care my friend. :)

Afain Cape Town is an old British colony so it is like little London down there :) a lot of rich people have houses and stuff so no way that he stays w/o internet :P

RIP JAKEDHS07 You will be missed...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, from what I remember in school that is a rich colony in the middle of, what, nowhere? I don't know a lot about it, to someone like me, Cape Town might as well be BFE. Sorry, that does not translate well on XDA without cussing. :p

The biggest thing I remember about is was apartheid. I really did not like History back then so I did not get a lot out of it. I believe that is when all the poor farmers said enough is enough and just beat the crap out of all the rich people, took back the land, and sent them scurrying into the sticks.

That was a long time ago, I am sure by now it is a big town/city with a lot going on. Still, I am very happy to live right here in the good old USA. Thank you very much. :D

But, the place seems so remote that there must be some sense of isolation there. Like, where is the nearest big city? It might be a cool place to visit but I sure don't want to live there. Amazing that the phones we use and help everyone with are scattered so far around the globe. South Africa, man, that is SO outta here! LOL! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
Can't reproduce issue now.. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Think it was you mike.

Although I am running CM11 in stock, and I still have this generic MAC address..

Yeah Ohmster, we're all over the show.

Apartheid (which in essence, I think, means "living apart/separately" ) was really just the old government's doing were Caucasians were free but the Africans were not. They could not use benches marked for white's only, there were white beaches, blah, blah, blah.. Just a horrible thing humans are capable of! It only changed in 1994 to a democratic society. The results are all over, but things are changing - and not for the better and IMO.

My mom's parents moved to SA from the UK - a lot of people here have roots from the UK, and they often make use of that to get out of SA (as did my mom 6 years ago).

But, cape town is a great city, no animals though like you might imagine, don't know why people still think that really.

We had the Fifa world cup here in 2010 if you remember.. ;)

Us South Africans are even making a living there by you. Charlize Theron, Sharlto Copley, Seether's vocalist. ;)

A bit off topic I know, but sometimes it is nice to hear something non-related. Think it also helps keep people here working together and closely knit.

BTW, I am just out of curiosity running Paranoid Android as well, but I am still a major CM fan!

Gosh, I so wish I had seen this about 10 minutes ago. I just did the big one to 08/01 on 3.73 and will probably still have the mangled IPv6 address. Oh well, I can install 3.65 now, wipe system, and flash over it, I think.

Great PSA, Thank you very much. :o

Want to thank you both for the responses.

I took your advice and I deleted my ROM slot one, and reflashed it with the JBX kernel, and all is working perfectly.

With this G2 being my daily driver, I plan on using my Xt912 for media mostly, and you guys helped to make it happen.

Many thanks

You are very welcome, Lawlrus. I was sure that cm11 cannot produce that screen, not by itself or the gapps. So you went custom kernel. JBX is very good, just be sure to install it at every flash. On nightly builds, you will be flashing new builds, a lot. Remember, when someone helps you, be kind and tap the Thanks button near their post. Oh, you are very much a Senior Member and already know this stuff. Glad you got it fixed. Welcome aboard, sailor! :laugh:

Hey [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I'm guessing you heard Verizon is going to start throttling our 4g for those of us who still have unlimited data. They say only the top 5% of users (those who use over 4.7gb of data a month) and only when a cell tower is getting busy but still. I use about 40gb a month so I'll be screwed especially living in Philly. It'll happen all the time for me :( sad days ahead
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
All ISP's are abusing their power especially Verizon. They are throttling everything even their FIOS subscribers. We need net neutrality back. Call your congress representative. From what I hear the FCC is working on fixing the issues by reclassifying the internet and forcing the ISP's to let all traffic flow the same. We are the customers, We are paying for internet, We should be able to decide how it is used. Heck for companies the internet is essentially free once they lay the cabling or build the towers in this case.

Also when did the mac address issue start? I have SS 3.73 and don't have any issues. Mine is a different mac from all of the ones posted. Running build 7-29-2014

[Motorola Droid RAZR] crackerjack1957:
Yeah, seen it on the net after I posted. This is going to suck for me, I have no dsl or cable access for internet, only option is Verizon or satellite. Satellite is capped so I invested money in 4g antenna, cable, amps to our 3 unlimited Verizon phones. I even kept our 20g plan thru Millenicom that uses Verizon which also has separate antenna & amp. This Millenicom plan just recently jumped from $69.99 to $89.99 a month. Then paying $209 a month for the 3 unlimited 4g smartphones plan. So I am paying $300 a month for using a average of 60g data plus phone calls & text.

These greedy corporations just do not know when to quit, keep charging more for less.

I can tell you this much, if & when Verizon pulls the 4g unlimited, they will no longer get any of my cash.

So I updated to 8/1 because 7/31 seems to have a little bit of a sleep issue. Anyone else notice it? 8/1 installed nicely and seems to be good. I'll watch the phone sleep status and see if the issue seems to be gone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I've been on 8/1 for about 24 hours now. 7/31 seemed good, but 8/31 does seem better. My battery drain has been about 4% per hour since I took it off the charger this morning. It seems pretty smooth with only slight lag in some apps. On previous builds I was having spontaneous reboots while navigating with google maps. That problem seems to have been fixed with latest nightlies and/or latest version of google maps.

Overall I'm pleased and feel that my phone can finally be used as a "daily driver". Thanks to the developers for all their good work.
