Thanks buddy. Sure, I will try it. But if you look at post right before this one, you will see that I just downgraded to it, got everything working and up to date. The hotspot and tether are amazing. So for me to use the mod, I need a baseline of performance on this build. Last backup shows I ran it until 1/1/2015. Never had any issue or problem with it at all. I freeze the built in My SMS app and only use third party app for texting so the WhisperPush com.andriod.phone FC never affected me.

Once I run this rom for a week to make sure I did not carry any errors or problems by downgrading and taking my Data folder with me and getting a feel for it again, I will apply the tweak mod and see if I notice any improvement. I have the mod bookmarked. I will tell you though, I never had not one complaint or issue with 11/07 and did not give it up for a long, long time because what came out next was crap. 11/07 was not. So what, if any improvements the tweak makes might be hard to see. But I will try it. Good looking out, man. :good:

* Oh I didn't see at first that you answered inline. Thanks a lot man. I will save this post for future reference. Yeah I heard good things about AKOP from years ago, I think I can trust it and find it to be to my liking. [MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION] also gave AKOP a good review and recommendation, she would not steer me wrong on that. Although she does have other needs and tries other roms, she knows I like standard, full feature, dependable roms and AKOP has been around for many years. Until I give 11/07 a fair shake, I will hold off. But AKOP is sounding pretty good and when I find a for sure, good, day to day rom, I will announce it here. Even if CM11 is "the loser" because CyanogenMod does not get any slack for dropping out at the last minute on the most stellar rom of the past year. No way, no how. Good job

CM11 does not have the init.d folder require for mod install.

Easy way is to download this app to create folder.

or this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d&hl=en

Let us know how it works with cm11.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh what the hell, I already know that cm11 11/07 jams and won't let me down, making a backup of it now, all up to date, working very well so if need be, I can go back and not lose anything. Then I will see about the L Speed Mod.

I already have a /system/etc/init.d folder with two very old files in it. One is a CM11 Banner and the other one is an init script. I will run This Test to see if my init.d is working.

I am not sure this will do anything remarkable as in "noticeable" but am willing to test for you. That is why I am doing the backup for you now. I'll let you know. 11/07 is great and was set for the Stock slot months ago. I just wanted to see if we got better builds at all. And other than stopping the WhisperPush FC on a very few phones, there seems to be nothing better. I will give it a fair test if I can and give you the results. Workin on it now. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] it's AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) and it is the best. I wish you would try it. I actually bit the bullet and have this installed on stock slot. Flawless.

I told you that I have used CM since CM6 (?).... It was Froyo I believe. On my OG Droid.... At first, CM did all I needed. Then, I couldn't answer phone calls. Was glitchy. I had it on phone and tablet, which doesn't have a led, so it was for that reason! I found much better ROMs. Steel Droid for phone, Nameless for tablet.

On this phone , anything AOKP was the best. I used Full Throttle for over a year, but developer and I had a major falling out (personal, not ROM related). This version of AOKP by [MENTION=5709478]tonyt.[/MENTION] is the best I have used. Try it. Nothing to lose. If you have questions, you know where to find me!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crackerjack1957:
Was hoping L_Speed mod would have worked with seeder off.

I do not have any signal issues with AOKP rom & V1.5 mod with seeder off.

Could not ask for a better setup & I have tried quit a few.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Use a terminal emulator, and type in "su". After that type in L_Speed and you enable/disable all the tweaks you want.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Haidersaleem:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

I have already done.

:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], Seeder is an entropy service. It is worthless, and makes your CPU run at 100% most of the time.

About the signal, the is an init.d "network" tweak that is supposed to make network speeds faster. Try disabling it in the terminal that comes preinstalled in CM11, and type "su" with out quotes of course and "L_Speed". After that follow the onscreen L_Speed menu and disable the network tweak. I'm guessing that that will restore normal network speed and bars.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thank you [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION]. As I explained, I already did turn off network in the L Speed menu. The only menu there is for the script tweak is in Terminal, su to root, L_Speed for menu. It did not make a difference. I did NOT get back normal network speed and bars after turning it off, and rebooting so that the changes in L Speed would be passed on by init.d. So if the networks speed or signal did not get whacked on yours and Jack's roms, maybe it just does not work on CM11. I did a backup of 11/07 working just fine, minutes prior to installing L Speed. Once restored, the signal came back at 4G, 4-5 bars.

Yeah, the entropy sounds like crap. Sounds like a nice tool but not for every rom. I am already quite happy with 11/07, I did not see how it could be improved much. Maybe not have to charge it again after a very long day? But even that comes with a cost. Shutting down signal or network speed could save battery. Not worth it if you ask me, but if it would throttle up when needed, maybe okay. :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], Some people have reported slow performance on L_Speed v. 1.3 an 1.4. I have found that L_Speed v.1.2 is the best. Maybe v1.2 will fix slow network speeds.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh, thanks for the information, Bob. I have it bookmarked and now know what version to look for. Good looking out! :good:

I am not sure if you actually saw my Post #7495 Yesterday, 07:36 PM, but I report my current home and Verizon speeds in that post.

AT&T ADSL: 3.63 Mbps Down, 1.93 Mbps Up

Verizon USB Tether: 21.3 Mbps Down, 11.46 Mbps Up

* Man, w/out Comcast, I no longer have the speed to download full CDs and DVDs quickly anymore. But with my Verizon Hotspot and USB Tether, all that comes back anytime I need it and it costs nothing with an unlimited data plan.

21 Meg down and 11 Meg up are not exactly speed issues. :laugh: I don't really have "Network Speed Issues", on the phone, anyways. I was trying to figure out if I still had the grandfathered in Unlimited Data for life and I do. So even though it is a bit pricy at $151 every month, I can run my entire house on that phone with USB Tether or Hotspot. 11/07 is "Final" and one of "The Good Ones". We have had good cm11 builds before that I ran for months. Especially when they let loose the theme engine. It took two months to get good roms again and I used the one I had for all that time, because it worked perfectly. Just no theme engine. This one I am using now is complete, works great, and if it passes the time test, AGAIN (It has already over 2 months w/out so much as a reboot), then I am done with cm11 because I have my FINAL Build. But will always hang here to sit at the Help Desk and chat with my friends. This is where I met you! :D

I wrote a guide about tweaking and maintenance and for me, that works great. I am not a big fan of "On Click Fix" stuff because so many of my clients destroy their own PCs with "Fix my PC" or "Reg Cleaner Pro" and these are real malware, sometimes they pay for it. They give false multiple infection reports or worse, really infect the PC and all of a sudden, charge you money to remove these fabricated or newly present viruses. L Speed is not the same of course. But it usually takes diligence and hard work to make a PC or Phone work great. There are no real "one click fixes" out there that really work. But some of the very specific Android Tweaks are really good like the XT912 GSM patch, Matt's Utility, etc.

L Speed might really make a difference for some but I am not really lacking anywhere, so what is to fix? :confused:

If I end up with AKOP after all, then who knows, maybe there will be issues that L Speed can help with. But CM11 on a Good Build has always done what I wanted, once I learned how to tame it. :)

[MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION] how are you doing with CM12? You are running it on an offline XT912, yes? Offline is great for experimenting but you can never tell if network connectivity, speed, signal, text, or anything else is affected. How "complete" is it? Like 30% or something? I am surprised that many members use CM12 as a daily driver on a Razr, it is fraught with issues and as my only phone, I could never take chances like that. But if it finishes, I would sure love to run it. :laugh:

Take care buddy! :highfive:

Take a peek at the end of the AOKP thread, its not just me, a lot of people have switched roms & are glad they did.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Guys

I really need some help - especially from XT910 users.

My data connection is very problematic (CM11 included). When I set my phone to 2G (EDGE) it is no problem (just slow of course).

The problem comes in when I'm connected to 3G/HSPA. It works just fine, and then all of a sudden it's like it stops working. To get it working it's a matter of disconnecting the data connection and reconnecting (like force it to EDGE and then back to HSPA again, or aeroplane mode etc.). I get very annoyed when tethering, because all of a sudden I can't load pages etc. (usually turning tether off and then on again fixes the issue - otherwise must reconnect data). It seems as though it "holds" the connection while a download is active - but I cannot confirm for sure.

I don't lose signal, it still shows I'm connected, and I can make phone calls.

It's not easy to pinpoint here. I think it tends to come right, but I haven't noticed it "come back" while tethering. Unless it changes towers and is "revived".

But with EDGE only I have no issues.

What could be the issue? Is there anything I can do? I've looked at *#*#4636#*#* for interests sake.

I mean, could it be the network? I can't imagine since I know many people use this network for data only contracts. Surely there would have been many complaints.

I think I would like to try stock JB (hope it has tethering) just to see. But I use a UK JB firmware, since they decided to not give us JB here. Maybe I will backup my rom and do some testing tonight, but it's quite an effort and I don't know if there's any point to it.

Actually, better idea. I have some Huawei E352 HSPA USB Stick which I use for the microSD card slot so that it functions as a flash drive. I can stick my SIM in there and see how it goes. But this will only help me determine if it's network related. So I will probably still need to play with JB unless there is something I can do.

AOKP has tether working.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Thanks Ohmster. Just doing a lot of testing. Didn't have any problems at home this evening, but at work.. it's were I noticed it.

Will just keep playing around for now.

I'm having another problem that is quite concerning.. And it's been mentioned to me for a long time, but I never really paid it much attention. People keep saying that they can barely hear me on a call. Maybe my mic is problematic or something is blocking it. Not good. Really thinking to do a quick jelly bean flash and restore my backup onto another slot to know for sure.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] - regarding the 11/07 build and the WhisperPush FCs - I'm assuming Hangouts would count as a separate SMS/MMS app to also try and circumvent those FCs on that build?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION]

I cannot say for certain that not having the stock SMS app installed let me get away with the com.android.phone FC, but stargo pegged it to WhisperPush which is an SMS service. Besides, who wants plain SMS when MMS does so much more? Hangouts is a good sub. If you can send pictures, files, audio, large text messages, then you are on MMS. Hangouts does not use SMS so far as I know because you do not connect by phone #, you connect by Google accounts and that is totally different, not SMS. The "bad program" I am talking about is the stock My SMS. Someone, Morr I think it was, pointed out Google Messenger as a great MMS alternative and it looks great. Really nice, pictures, and it is a Google app so it will probably work pretty good. Hangouts is totally different. I think you would be safe with it. I use Hangouts and never had issues. :good:

By the way, the phone FC was not very widespread in this group. Dwillian is the only one I know who got clobbered by it and was vocal about it. We tried everything but it took the developer to track it down to WhisperPush SMS and make a patch for it. So far as I know, not many of us ever had it.

Yeah, could be a clogged or rusted mic. Before you go nuts, turn on a Bluetooth headset or car connect and see if people can now hear you louder. This way you could test with another mic and not have to tear the phone and rom apart to find out. The mic is a very tiny needle sized hole at the bottom of the phone, one in front for phone, one in back for videos. They seem opposite of each other so it could use the same mic for videos and phone. Test with another mic on something Bluetooth.

Look in the holes with a very bright light and super strong magnifier. If you see dirt or something clogging it, dig it oue very gently with a pin or something. DO NOT STAB into the hole!

NOTE:

Google Voice Typing works so well, system sounds, MMS messages, as well as signal strength and Google Server connect (no orange) in cm11 build 11/07. I have been pushing this build for a long time, it is Final as no new features are added, nothing is broken, and it has grease in all the right places. I had plans to make this my stock rom but waited to see what comes next. A bunch of crap, that is what came next. So far this is looking really good for 11/07. Since there are no new updates worth a dam, if this works as it did the last time I ran it for 2 months, 11/07 is my Final and stock CM11 rom. It is just too good to overlook! :D

Unlucky M13 SNAPSHOT? Who knows. Development on CM11 is DEAD. I don't think that it gets much better than the 11/07 Build. Just freeze the "My SMS" app to try and avoid the dreaded com.android.phone FC and pick something else like Google Messenger, 8sms, Go SMS Pro (V 5.61, Google for the apk), or use Hangouts. I am pretty sure this time but will keep you posted. I will say that coming home to 11/07 has been a very pleasant experience! :D

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] - downloading 11/07 now to keep on hand, as soon as Mega decides to actually download... Maybe i'll have to wait till i get home (at work currently).

I'm glad to have found this thread, the amount of information about getting CM11 running contained in here is amazing. I'd say once you give 11/07 the stamp of approval, i'm gonna start getting my stock partiton fixed so I can get it running on stock too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION] good deal. I had my eye on in since. But wanted to see how things end up since everything at 11/11 turned so wrong and if it would get not only better, but a shiny new coat of paint. Never happened. It got broken, slight improvements, broke the Reboot to Recovery Power Menu, and at 02/02, CM fixed that. But not spectacular like 11/07, no grease "in all the right spots" anymore. The rom was ruined and not far from being completely finished, perfect. And CM dropped the ball. Just like that, over a full year of development for one of the best Kit Kat roms ever, for Lollipop.

I am fully aware of what 11/07 can and does do, that is why I praised it so highly and not only kept a copy, but got copies and md5s for both XT910 and XT012 since you will no way get it from CM anymore. Our developer, [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] was really nice and setup a mirror download site for 02/02, 01/26, and the M12 SNAPSHOT is still on the CM servers. But 11/07 was the very last "shining star" of cm11.

Just be safe and if you are not going to install it clean but rather downgrade like I did, uninstall or freeze the stock My SMS App in an effort to avoid the phone FC that comes from the WhisperPush (SMS) bug. SMS stinks, install a nice MMS client and you will be *much* better off. Hangouts can do this and is not an SMS app, but it does not work on phone numbers, it works on gmail addresses. If you need, like most people, a text app, install first one of the MMS ones we talked about.

I also have cm11 11/07 on dropbox but some browsers mark dropbox links as dangerous because Mega includes encryption and guarantees file integrity from start to finish. Yeah, check it out man. That Build is not lacking for anything and is not missing anything. CM11 was well past "Final" by that time.

Before pushing it to stock, be smart and give it a few weeks running on a rom slot to be sure this is good for you and has no issues. Once on stock, you can enable fstrim to keep your internal sdcard running fast, only available on stock slot for Kit Kat roms or higher. All the info you need can be found in the online guide. This looks like it for me, just want to make sure these stupid voice typing becomes retarded, system sounds stop, and text MMS won't send errors are not found in this build. They were not there before but 02/02 brought in a whole bunch of irritating issues that only show up weeks later and then dig in to really annoy you. 11/07 never did that. Good luck my friend! :good:

OMW! DUST [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], DUST!

My microphone's hole was completely closed off with dust. I saw it ages ago, but I didn't know it was dust. The layer was so perfect that I thought it was just a cover over the microphone. Less obvious to me though because the layer was depressed and not flush with the hole. I always blew into the hole to "clear" anything that may have got in, but this layer never budged.

Your magnifying glass tip really helped. If I didn't use it, I really would not have been able to see what I was doing!

So relieved!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Utter (beta) Voice Command Test

I announced the Google Voice Typing command and punctuation list because I use it all the time and voice typing is very, very good on a Razr phone. I use voice typing for *everything* except putting in logins and passwords.

I would love a hands free phone or something with intelligent voice command like Siri (I hate iPhones!) but could never find anything that worked well. OK Google Voice Command is a joke, it takes horsepower to run and hear the OK Google phrase, then it is not really useful for anything besides Google searches.

I mentioned a very new, free, beta program, utter! Voice Commands BETA! and was quite impressed watching the 15 minute video of it. I wanted to try it out. Things like this need a LOT of extra horsepower and this is one of the very best I've seen. It gets it right, does have a bit of a steep learning curve, and uses MUCH less power than other Voice Command apps.

I had to freeze it though. It was really cool, did do very well, and would be cool to have on your phone. But it turns out that teeny weeny bit of extra horsepower needed for things like this to work very well is simply not there in a Droid Razr phone. If you have a Turbo, Galaxy, Note 4, or anything really new and powerful, this would be for you, for sure. On a Razr it works but there is just a bit too much lag for this to work well. We do not have an extra few hundred megs of RAM free, nor do we have the 2GHz+ multicore CPU that modern phones have. We have usable, pretty good phones and if you get a good rom on it, the Razr is quite a pleasure to use. Mine does everything I want, even minor multitasking, but Voice Command is a bit out of reach for this phone. That is a shame. I am disappointed because this one is very good and even somewhat lightweight, but I am not surprised. I just confirmed what I already knew.

...sigh! I so wish that I could buy a Galaxy S5 and afford to make the purchase. THAT phone can be rooted. It does not have the huge, gorgeous screen of the Note 4, but it does have a nice screen and plenty of horsepower like the Note 4.

Since I sort of "recommended" Utter!, I have to retract it as not really feasible for a Droid Razr phone. We are getting all we are going to get out of this aging piece of hardware, but what we do have is pretty darned good! :D
