[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
My beloved 11/07 build needed a reboot

Wow, such a long time has gone by and we got nothing for CM11. I stand by my decision that 11/07 is the best build there ever was. But that was several months ago. The rom hasn't changed. But the apps have updated several time over.

Today my Voice Typing "Got Stupid" again. Long time to output, getting it wrong, double typing everything. Ugh! A simple reboot cleared it up. This is the ONLY time I have had to ever reboot CM11 Build 11/07 but with the apps the way they are now, it probably won't be the last. I actually "downgraded to 11/07" instead of restoring a backup. Restoring the backup and not updating the apps might preserve it the way it was. Nothing else is acting up and this really is a good build. It is just the apps, getting bigger, more bloated, tying up resources, IMHO.

Like some totally ignorant dumb ass, here I sit. Waiting not so patiently for the promised M13 SNAPSHOT or at least a better, cleaned up rom. Gosh, I have been waiting on this for months, very long time. Maybe this snapshot or better build is never going to come, huh? So what do I do, restore the original good working 11/07 backup and not update voice typing as it worked just fine, or put up with it and reboot when necessary. Bear in mind this 11/07 build is quite "stellar" and this is the one and only time I've ever rebooted it, and only to clear up sloppy voice typing. You know what, maybe I will try to clear voice typing data and cache and see if that is enough to get it up and performing again. I could not live without it.

Just letting you all know how things are going. I will have to put 11/07 as the recommended CM11 build, along with the last two, 01/26 (Broken Reboot to Recovery) and the very last, 02/02 with problems of it's own like rebooting to clear dalvik and cache a regular and necessary thing to do, quite often.

I do have 11/07 for both spyder and umts_spyder on mega for those that want it, along with the latest two builds. Now Michael was nice enough to put up several builds for us on his server. He has the M12 SNAPSHOT, Unofficial builds up to last November, and if I am not mistaken, the 12/22/2014 Test is the one with WhisperPush patch included. Correct me if I am wrong, [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION].

Even if you do not want CM11 Build 11/07/2014 for your phone right now, I strongly suggest that you download it. Who knows how long it will be available. :good:

Comments welcome! :)

EDIT 5:55 PM:

I am looking all over the place to reset Google Voice Typing because the wacky scrambled input started happening again. I don't think this is a reboot issue. In /Settings/Language & Input/ is "Google Voice Typing" , as "a keyboard" with settings. By checking my Offline speech recognition, I noticed that I have two languages, English (US) and English (UK). I have NO need for UK speech recognition, although I do use SVOX Victoria female Voice. By deleting the offline UK speech recognition, the "nutty Google voice typing" stopped. This is probably a setting issue and not a problem with rom or app. Any other time I had issues with it was with Bluetooth turned on and either it was connected to my headset that was turned on and I was not wearing, or in the car, I forget that the Bluetooth mic is in the small magnetic dashboard circle. That took me a long time to figure out. People were saying they could not hear me in the car and I am talking right into the phone. Also, Voice Typing really started to fail. Once I realized that the car Bluetooth mic was in the dash dot, I can grab it and speak into it for clear speech and voice typing. ...who knew? :silly:
