Update on the "Disappearing Apps"

Today I noticed that the apps in question had their icons turned into the green android guy. When I tapped it, I got "program name has stopped working." Looked in the app drawer and saw that it was with other apps too, that I didn't have on a homescreen. When I went into TI, they had the same android icon, and were named by "com.'program.the rest'. I also noticed that all of the apps that had this, were ones I had moved to the SD card. This never gave me a problem before.

So I looked in the Play store. Some of them had updates waiting. Ran it, and it fixed it. Then I restored some with TI, then ran the update through the play store, and that was fine for the 1st 2 or 3 apps I did it with. I tried Pandora, and got "Insufficient space" error. WHAT? Not possible since I had increased the storage when I did a full clean install, and I reinstalled fewer apps then I had before.

Frustration.....Decide to do a reboot......and......All the apps are back and seem to be working. Huh? What just happened? I kinda feel like acquainting my forehead with the wall.

You don't know who Lovecraft is? Well, here it is in a nut shell. He is an American horror fiction writer. Lived in the early 1900's. Basically became well known posthumously. A lot of modern horror writers will name his works as having an influence on them. Guillermo Del Toro had been trying to get his book "At the Mountains of Madness" made into a movie, but issues that it'll need a huge budget and have to be an R rating to do it write were holding it up. But after the movie "Prometheus" came out, he scraped the idea. Said that the point and themes of both films were the same, so why do it. That's was why I looked it up. Just been reading through his short stories. I came across one that had some elements of the story similar to Micheal Crichton's "Congo." Could it have influence him, maybe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I actually wanted to ask if the apps were on your SD card. I usually went further in that apps that automatically went to the SD card I moved into the internal memory and then they never gave me the "not installed" issue. Usually a simple reinstall fixes the issue. I'm not sure further in this regard.

Whether this is still happening, I'm not actually too sure; and if I remember the error would usually happen after connecting the phone to the PC (mass storage).

Hello, people.

It's been a long time since I last posted. Today my wife had a problem on her RAZR that's not the first time I see it. Sometimes when starting to watch a video the phone completely freezes. I tried with 2D GPU acceleration on and off, using MX Player and VLC, the former with HW decoding on and off.

It's weird.

It also happens very often with me... If somebody have any hint, please help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I don't know why I didn't think of that, but I think you hit the nail on the head [MENTION=2022949]d.c[/MENTION]asper. Or as close as you can. All of the apps this has happened to are on the SD card, moved there by me. And I did have the phone connected to the computer at some point. But I think I got the first "app has stopped working" message before that. Just tonight, I was using the phone as a hotspot, and had to plug it in to keep it from dying, into the wall, and when I unplugged it I got the message "XDA free has stopped working". That is what I'd get when the problems start happening. Also tried to get facebook running again, did a restore from TI, then the update from the Play store, but got the insufficient space message, which makes no sense. I haven't done a reboot yet.

Overall, the phone works for what I need it and use it most often for. All the other stuff is more of a minor annoyance, but we still want it to do what we want, when we want. The moto x pure is still looking pretty good. why couldn't the battery be just a little bit bigger.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I got passed that "insufficient space" nonsense when clearly that is not the case by opening play store in /Settings/Apps, and then removing ALL updates to the app. You cannot remove play store totally, but by removing all of the updates, it starts working again, or at least that is what I read and it worked for me. Play store will update itself just like any other gapp anyway. Another pain in the neck this can clear out is the "waiting for network" nonsense where nothing downloads like, forever. For that one, you have to wipe data for play store, Downloads, and I think maybe Download Manager too. Stop these apps in the app manager if they do not stop after wiping. That cleared these issues up, IIRC.

Good luck and good tip, Casper! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Edinho376:
Yeah, i know that, and i use the rom 'as it is'. It's a shame because >> as far as i know << cm 11 is the only KK rom immune to stagefright bug, and it also have this issues on its codecs. I don't use vlc; i use Mx Player or the built-in player in QuickPick and it happens as well in Youtube (in default browser) and other sites ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and would be great if someone could find a solution

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Sorry about that [MENTION=4519260]TStarGermany[/MENTION], It is getting more difficult for me to maintain that Guide with the new links for downloading the rom.

Yes, you absolutely want the cm-11-20150901-snapshot build which is correct for your phone.

or, for the XT910: Download: cm-11-20150901-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3G2-umts_spyder.zip (211.58 MB)

This is a really nice rom. I have been running it since it came out and have like, zero problems with it. Of course any rom on any phone could have problems, but none that I can attribute to the rom itself.

Thanks for pointing out the dead link. I am at my character limit for that Guide but will see if there is anything I can do to update it. You will like this rom, it is *very* good. :good:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
For the Guide? It would certainly give me a LOT more room to post CM11 information. But CM11 is finished. There really is not a lot to talk about with regards to installing it since we already have this thread, and we are lucky to get one post a week here, if *that* much.

It is a nice idea, Bob. But I think it would make more sense to wait for *anything* stable in CM12.x and then just make a new guide for it, if and when it gets done or at least becomes stable enough to be called "stable", a snapshot would be nice.

You might want to build a CM12 Guide yourself, Bob. IIRC, *you* are the one that sent me the how to install CM11 on stock pictures. And they certainly did help, a LOT. Thanks bra! :D

Yes. This is official. You should use the last snapshot dated 01/09/2015. You will see updates but they will be for CM12. This snapshot is the last we'll see of CM11... If not, well then I'll be.

Gapps are not included.

How to give official thanks at XDA Developers

You are very welcome [MENTION=6887503]Humza Arain[/MENTION]. Actually we have a very nice "Official Thanks" system here at XDA to track how well a member helps others and since you are new, you should learn it now. Heck, it took me 6 months before I even realized that there was such a system. A tap on the thumb or thanks button ups the thanks count by one for each tap. See screenshots. I just gave you a "Thanks" so that you can see how it works.

Take care buddy. This is a great rom, I am sure that you will like it. :highfive:

I do not believe that you have a bug there Tstar. I have the exact same results as you do, screenshot of rotation modes attached for you to see, and I never have any issues as a result of it.

The screens mentioned that do not auto-rotate such as Lock Screen, Home Screen, app list, phone dialer, and contact list really present no benefit if they were to rotate. But the important stuff you listed *does* rotate and does it quite well. ;)

The attached screen of rotation modes simply "allows" these degrees of rotation. They do not "force" the screen to rotate at all. E.g.: a user is laying down reading articles or a book and finds the screen keeps rotating to landscape, which he does not want. Thus, he can shut off Landscape rotation if he wanted to do so.

The only time I would like to rotate the home screen is when I connect an HDMI cable because HDMI defaults to Landscape, like it or not. But, you cannot change the HDMI rotation on the Razr because it is built in to auto-rotate when HDMI is plugged in and active. But I have never heard anyone complain about this, the rom is good and has been around for more than a year and a half. :)

If you can get your hands on an HDMI cable, try it out and really see some crazy screen action. But, it works and it does work quite well. With unlimited data, a Netflix account, and an HDMI cable will allow you to take HDTV Netflix, videos on the device, or youtube to watch with your friend at his house. You have to admit, that is a pretty cool thing to be able to do. :laugh:

If you do use HDMI and want better resolution, you might find this app very useful.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I'm not sure that it's a bug, I don't believe those were intended to rotate. Maybe you can in another ROM, but I've never seen it rotating before (the apps you mentioned). Tested dialer in PAC MAN ROM, and it does not rotate either.

You can rotate the homescreen using another launcher though. I use Nova Launcher Prime. You just need to enable it in Nova Settings and make sure auto-rotate is turned on.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
I can rotate dialer in RR...

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh yeah, that's right Casper. Premium Desktop Launchers do give other options when they are paid apps. I have Apex launcher and it will do all that stuff too. But I ended up sticking with Trebuchet because I wanted the total CM11 Experience.

Some of the listed items serve no benefit if rotated such as the dialer. How would that improve the phone or UI if you could rotate the dialer? Desktop? Yeah you can rotate it in some launchers and maybe even in some of the themes you can get for CM11. But unless someone were insanely bent on staying in landscape mode at all times, there does not appear to be any benefit to being able to rotate "everything" on the phone.

[MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] what is RR?

I think that we are more or less happy with our phones. Perhaps these are just rhetorical or curiosity questions? :confused: I am *very* happy with my Razr, :D

Hmm should i reset my phone etc before installing new rom or not ? Or my old data will be in stock rom if i just restore my stock rom i'll get more free space coz i think i have to install all apps again in new rom??

Okay please lemme explain steps and conform that i'll not miss any thing while flasing

Okay

1: create rom slot

2: activate it

3: then i have to install rom from my sd card as well as gapps thata it?

And i dont have to perm any type of reset right

If am not right then pls explain in simple words
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Actually just fired up my CM11 after updating my gapps this morning. I left it unattended since the beginning of September. Definitely works very nicely indeed.

Just something extra:

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], so I use GravityBox for the navigation bar, it's nice to use the custom key to have quick access to apps straight from the nav bar (all done in GravityBox). If you're not using it, why not try it out? I'm used to other ROM features which provided me quick app access, so this is a good alternative - you can then have quick access to anything you want (WhatsApp, camera, calculator, dialer etc...). Then for a long press action I have it activate the torch, neato.

EDIT: Looking at previously posted screenshots, I see you do have the custom key setup. Also, it is not plain white like mine, which looks out of place. Let me try sort this out then..

Omw, this Neon Colors theme is even awesome(r) on LP (although I'm not using LP at the moment - maybe never again). The notification icon in the status bar flashes different colours - red, blue, green, purple, orange, yellow. This happens for gmail, WhatsApp, SMS, and maybe others.

Oh well i have downloaded this one

Kitkat Base Gapps package for 4.4.4: gapps-444-base-20150917-1-signed.zip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
That is all you need.

The rest is optional. The reason it's optional is: You may have free space in the area reserved for the Operating System and you want to install to this location instead of "wasting" the space - since the phone will not utilise this space further (generally speaking).

In Safestrap go to Boot Options and click on the slot that is currently active. Then you'll see how much space is free in /system. Now, for example, if you flash the Gmail add-on, it will install it in /system and you'll see the free space will become less. You don't need to do this because you can just download Gmail from the Play Store. But then Gmail will be installed in /data.

I tried explaining it nicely for you. I hope you can understand what I'm saying.

Oh Great Thanks All Now Am Done with my question once again thanks all
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
What say [MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION]!

Yes, I use gravity box to get my nav bar and cursor control/special keys. The cursor and special keys are colored magenta. I tried to remove gravity box because I can get cursor keys from the rom itself, but they are plain white. And, the nav bar is not in the original rom. Yes, there is a way to create it with a line for the build.prop file, but again that is plain white. So I kept gravity box for that reason. I wanted to try and use as few system control xposed modules, but gravity box is set "light" so as not to interfere with the system and only for custom/cursor keys and colors.

Attached are some play store screencaps. Are these colors a lot different than what you get at play store?

One of my favorite special keys is long press back button. It will kill any recalcitrant app that is misbehaving. That can also be enabled din developer options but gravity box gives lots of options.

Yeah I hear that Neon is really good on LP, but I do not have it, I was thinking about turning off the neon theme to see if it is impacting rom speed, but if it is, it would be slight. One example is play store. I have it set to dark theme and it really, really changes the look of the play store. It seems to take a little more time to get my play store screens up, not sure, could be the neon theme. But, knock on wood, the phone is really stable and the colors are really nice.

Another weird thing are the constant play store updates. It is like they are now making apps for LP and are "backwards comparable" with KK. How so? I am getting FC errors anytime I update stuff from play store and these are things that are not even in use like the ASOP keyboard, see screenshot. When I get several of these FC events during updates, I reboot to wipe and I do not like it. This only happens during updates.

I did copy your theory on Kit Kat partitions and app install locations to a text file for future study. I cannot say if you are right or if you are wrong, but it is as plausible a theory as any I can think of. Now that I am aware of it, I will pay attention to partition size with regards to different types of gapps installs. I do remember Dwillian when he revealed his update method for cm11, the infamous "Dwillian Dump" and he flashed the cm11 rom, gapps, and play services zip. He did have to add another 100 Mb to the system partition to be able to do this. Why? What is this play service that needs to be flashed independently? Well, it seems that is the framework for all Google Play services. Games, books, movies, music, news, whatever. By flashing it to system, this gave him some sort of perceived benefit that is coming back to me now that you have mentioned this. Interesting stuff and not without merit, Daniel. Thanks for that bit of feedback. :highfive:

That's it for now fellows. :)
