Hmmm, good to know! When I flashed the new zip and gapps, the flashed failed. Gave me an md5 error. I had two different md5 files, an md5 made from a Windows program and the original md5sum that came with the file. They both are text files and contain the same md5 sum value, but the md5 is sum number, two spaces, and file name. The md5sum file is the same but WITH full path to file and file name. This is from the 03/29 md5sum file but is the same for all of them:

cb356290525447c53ec35a7856e5f99e /build/Android/cm-11.0/out/target/product/spyder/cm-11-20150329-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip

That path; /build/Android/cm-11.0/out/target/product/spyder/ does not exist on my phone. I cannot see how it "could work", since the path plus filename points to a file and location that does not exist on my phone. Take the file path away and if the md5 is in the same folder as the zip file, is should work. Why it didn't, I really don't know.

What I do know is that the install failed and I was totally bummed out about it, until I noticed the reason for the fail. md5 does not match. I deleted the first one of the md5 files, still Failed. Deleted the remaining md5sum file and now, cm11 04/05 installed perfectly with gapps right after it.

How do you install update, Welder? Do you have only the cm11 file on the phone or both the cm11 zip AND the corresponding cm11 md5sum file when you install? Or just the cm11 zip file? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
I have the zip file and md5sum file in the same folder.

Btw,it isn't CM11,it's CM12.1,Lollipop 5.1 ;)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Maybe it only works for CM12 Lollipop. This is the cm11 thread and that is what I am installing, the latest cm11.

cm-11-20150405-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip

From here:

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

This file did not work for me if on the phone with the zip file:

cm-11-20150405-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip.md5sum

Once I removed the md5sum file and only the spyder.zip file remained in the folder, the install worked fine.

Don't know why bra. These md5sum files have never worked for me, other than manually matching the md5 number inside of them with the computer read md5 from the zip file itself. But I have never installed cm12. Could not take a screenshot in Safestrap 3.75. :(

That is really strange man. Because you DO have the two files in the same folder. Must be cm12. Cannot think of any other reason. :confused:

That does not really make sense either. Best thing I can tell people is that if you flash a new build, and have both the zip and md5sum files in the same folder, and the flash fails, look at the small black terminal screen in Safestrap. If you see md5 error, delete the md5 file with Safestrap File Manager and try again. That is what worked for me. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
The md5sum file works.

I haven't tried the latest build yet (will do so tonight), but the md5sum has always worked for me. Just make sure they are in the same folder and SafeStrap will read it no problem (use the downloaded md5 and not your own-generated md5 file). It's very odd that it doesn't work for you.

The only time I had a flash fail was when the md5s didn't match. Saved me flashing a dud onto my phone.. Redownloaded the ROM file, and got a matching md5 checksum.

MOVING GAPPS PROVIDERS:

I'm currently using PA-GAPPS-FULL(20150308). I am doing an INCLUDE install, where I choose what I want to install. Also, I have removed the stock Browser and Email app during the install. And in other ROMs I have flashed the pa-googlekeyboardaddon.

Now to move to another provider, I would essentially want the previous gapps to not have modified anything.

HOW MY ROM UPDATES CURRENTLY GO:

If I wipe /system and flash my rom and my current gapps, then even if there were updates since the gapps package release (and as long as I've already updated from play store), I don't need to update.

WHAT THIS MEANS:

The app contained in the GAPPS package is in the /system partition. All updates are in your /data partition (that's why you cannot uninstall a system app, but you can uninstall its updates under Settings>Apps).

If I now flash a new GAPPS, it will be missing a lot of apps that were previously in /system. Because the app is no longer present in the system (/system was wiped and the new GAPPS does not provide the app), all data (updates etc) that are stored in /data should also be removed automatically during boot up (or whenever ) I assume. The app has essentially been uninstalled since it's APK is no longer available. So if you now install the app from the Play Store, it will act like a new install with no user data.

After typing the above I think I have maybe answered my own question now.

Stock Browser and Email that was previously removed will be back after the ROM flash. The new GAPPS provider will not clash with the previous PA-GAPPS from what I can tell.

If I need to know anything important in making the transition please let me know.

Hope this makes sense.

I'll test this latest version on my wife's RAZR. 0126 feels heavy and unresponsive these days.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] now I want a frigging cupcake!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3668995]Meneldur[/MENTION] that January OFFICIAL rom is terrible! The official cm11 roms went down the toilet in mid-November and never got good again for the rest of the year. CyanogenMod released two more roms this year. 01/26 & 02/02. Both of them are not very good roms. They are sluggish, not fast, and bog down. The rom you have now, 01/26 has a broken "Reboot to Recovery" Power Menu. I know, I know, your wife does not care about that. BUT, the rom sucks, period.

CM will not make anymore "OFFICIAL" roms so [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] decided he was not going to put up with this crap for his own OMAP4 phone. He made 4 new ones so far, the very best is the 04/05 Build. These are all UNOFFICIAL because Michael made them and released them privately, CyanogenMod does not care about CM11 anymore. Go to my post on this, you get the links you need and the gapps that you need in that post. We cannot get new pa-gapps anymore so what I found works real good and you get links and QR codes so that you can download the rom and gapps right to your phone!

Go here, flash the 04/05 Unofficial build and 04/04 Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x and BE HAPPY! Go to this post for what you need:

Ohmster's Post #7684 for newest cm11 rom

Easy to do:

Download the gapps and cm11-UNOFFICIAL rom for your phone, have them on your sdcard!

Reboot to Safestrap

SLOW DOWN! Carefully wipe SYSTEM, CACHE, & DALVIK ONLY!

Install new rom, add more zips, add new gapps zip.

Wipe dalvik and cache only.

Reboot to system.

Install/Update your Xposed Framework if you it, update AdAway if you have it, and tap BetterBatteryStats to make a system app if you have it.

Reboot and enjoy!

Trust me, you are going to love this! :D

Hah! *You* get a "special cupcake" but I need time to think of a really good one, [MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION]! :laugh:

...if you have any really cool stockings and dark nail polish, that would help a real LOT! :D

(Ohmster *loves* pretty girls like Sherri, especially with dark nail polish and really cool stockings!)

But if you don't, doesn't matter. You are more than worth it, babe! ;)

You like chocolate with creme inside and chocolate frosting with white sugar drizzle? :fingers-crossed:

OMG, I am hungry now talking about the friggin' cupcake because it is late and I did not eat dinner yet. To the kitchen, steak with mushrooms coming up! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crackerjack1957:
Cupcake will proceed Lollipop!!!!!!!!! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh but the delight of devil's food cupcakes with creme and icing!

LOL! :laugh:

[MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION] you would have to bring up that cupcake again! I went into

detail

describing my favorite kind, Drakes Chocolate Cupcakes, the only thing that comes second are Yankee Doodles because they have the same devil's food cake and creme filling, no icing, BUT, you get THREE of them!

​

You know, when I was a kid and had to work, I had to eat lunch. And I did not always have $3-5 in my pocket to buy lunch with. BUT, I could afford a quart of fresh ice cold whole milk and a 3 pack of Yankee Doodle cupcakes. I would drink that ice cold milk, ALL of it, and savor those cupcakes, one bite at a time, one cupcake at a time. And you know what? I was full. That was a *very* good, very nutritious meal for lunch! I will never forget that. :D

Even [MENTION=4929841]crackerjack1957[/MENTION] has "cupcakes on the brain" like me! :p

Gosh, I went into all of this delicious detail for Sherri on the cupcakes, mostly because I personally think it would be

evah-so-much-fun

to have cupcakes with Sherri. And I was hungry when I said it. I just had Terryaki broiled steak with fresh sliced mushrooms, sautéed with fresh garlic in olive oil, green bean mushroom and crunchy French Onion casserole, and a fresh tossed garden salad with real bacon bits, creamy Ranch dressing, croutons, with a diet Coke. And I am still hungry for those darned cupcakes! Oh what have I done? :eek:

Well, Dairy Queen is only two blocks away. Maybe "just this one time" I can drown my sorrows with a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. Do you guys think that would do it?

...really. Cupcakes with Sherri sounds dreamy! Plus I got the Vodka and "goodies" to back it up. Yes, you get the foot rub, "The Good Kind" too. I tell you Sherri, we had better cut it out or that is really going to happen one day....! :eek:

Okay! [MENTION=3668995]Meneldur[/MENTION] you are really going to get the last build of cm11, 04/05 on the Razr for the wifie, yes? She will love you for it, once she sees how smooth it is. Give her a day or to two see it for herself, then you shave up all nice and smooth and go lay down on the bed with her and "play phone". :D

Okay, remember the talking little black baby in the stroller on TV who says "Okay Mama, Dairy Queen is calling my name!". Well, that's me. (That kid is SOOOO cute! Do you see how well they lip sync the kid's mouth? OMG it is a riot!) :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Edinho376:
I don't know if i got it..

This 'way' of flashing preserves the files but erase all ROM data, right?

I have a slot with AOSB 1.3.7, if i do this (your steps above) then flash CM11 do you think all my data will still be there (slot2) but in CM11 ROM? Do you think it's gonna work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
It actually will probably work but you will likely have some issues. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are moving from one ROM to another it's best to start from scratch. I think I actually flashed once like this by accident..

Best you use Titanium Backup to backup some of your apps, then you can restore the backups and the apps will be just as you left them. I do this for apps like WhatsApp so that I don't have to log-in again, and for other apps that I don't need to setup again.

This post was created on a Motorola RAZR Maxx (XT910).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Edinho376:
I thought by doing this way it would be like changing the frame (OS) of a painting, but preserving intact the screen (user data) itself.

Anyway I'll follow your advice and make the 'long and safe path' - due to many posts from people telling that format the slot doesn't really erase its data, the best way is to delete the slot and start a new one 'from scratch' :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=5909787]Edinho376[/MENTION] No!

The steps I gave were for Meneldur so that he could move up to a newer version of CM11. You cannot do this to install over a different rom!

To install cm11 for the first time or where a different rom was before is to delete and then recreate the slot. Like you mentioned. That will get rid of the old rom and all of your storage will stay put. Once you have a clean slot, you flash the cm11 rom and your gapps zip files in safestrap. Reboot and finish the startup wizard.

There is a very good guide on how to do this in every one of my signatures. Click the Guide link at the bottom of my post and you will get all the help you need with installing, running, and maintaning cm11. Good luck! :good:

EDIT:

Read this guide. It will give you help with making the new rom slot and what sizes to make the partitions when you do.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dwh2o13:
Alright everyone... I might need some help here. I'm trying to jump on the 04/05 build to help out with build reports, but I keep getting a fail. Here is what's happening. Clean install, with the 04/04 Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x. When I swipe to confirm flash, it seems the rom installs fine but the install of the gapps fail. Tried a couple of times. I even tried a new download of the gapps. Still failed.

Okay, just thought I would try to install with a different gapp package. I used pa gaps mini-modular 4.4.4 20150308 and got the following:

Insufficient storage space available in the system partition.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
04/05 awesome!

[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] you really outdid yourself on this rom. Even better than the OFFICIAL stuff from CyanogenMod! Thank you very, very much. :)

Man this UNOFFICIAL 04/05 rom from Michael is stellar! Always smooth as silk, great signal, can't remember ever seeing orange bars, and it never gives me problems!

It is hard for me to say that any rom so far since 11/07 is as good. But this one, so far, is "

as good or better

" than the 11/07 Keeper that I always fall back on. I have NO complaints and am shocked at how much better this rom is than the one before it, the 03/29 rom.

If this thing holds up the way it has been, man, this is THE cm11 Final rom for me. Great stuff! For anyone that wants it, go to Michael's download server:

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

For those who already have CM11 installed:

If you want, you can even OTA this update. Put the rom on the internal sdcard in the cmupdater folder. Then go to Settings, About Phone, CyanogenMod Updates, and tap to install. You won't even need gapps since you would be doing it as an OTA update.

I keep a copy of 11/07/14 in the /sdcard/cmupdate folder so I can always restore it without losing updates or settings. Now I am putting a copy of 04/05 in the cmupdater folder too so it will always show up in the OTA update menu. :D

You can see from the screenshots that I have the two best roms in the /sdcard/cmupdater/ folder and they do indeed show up as OTA updates. No need for gapps, just tap to update to the new build! :victory:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Okay, this is where the Online Guide in my signature comes in real handy. You get Safe Strap partition sizes to use when you delete the rom slot and recreate it. Guide Link is in my signature or here:

Guide: CM11 Performance and Maintenance on XDA Developers

Suggested partition sized from the Guide are:

Install CM11 ROM:

Installing CyanogenMod ROM #11 is fairly straightforward and easy. Pick a known good build to install, download the latest pa-gapps package and choose a smaller package like Mini-Modular or Micro-Modular. Have both the rom and gapps files on your phone, boot to Safe Strap recovery, and pick a rom slot, for this example, rom slot 1. At this time, you can choose the partition sizes for the rom slot you will use. If rom slot 1 has already been created, delete it, then go back to slot 1 to create it, and pick your partition sizes. These sizes are known to work well with cm11:

Slot1 - CM11

System: 700 Mb

Data: 2,000 Mb

Cache: 300 Mb

You can increase the System partition to 800 Mb but the only one I saw who needed it was Dwillian when he installed gapps and the Google Play Services zip file. I use the Mini-Modular myself and never have problems with them, my system partition is 700 Mb in size. You can uncheck "Use zip file verification" if you got stuck installing that package. I have seen this cause installation problems. LOOK at the black screen in Safe Strap to see the actual reason that the gapps install failed. It will tell you why.

Try it again, check or change your partition sizes and uncheck zip file verification. And, ...at least "Look at the Guide". A LOT of work and many months of time went into it. You will get more fast answers there than individual questions, posted to the thread, one at a time. :)

:good:

I printed your guide, and i'll read this asap. Its seems to be very complete. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience writing guides like this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Better? That is a matter of preference. I like a Honda Civic. You like a Toyota Corolla. They are practically the same car, what matters is which one you like better. I have never tried AOKP but will try it when I get room on my sdcard to test it out. I can tell you for sure that I will keep CM11 and make it my stock rom. Why? Because I like it. CyanogenMod roms are very, very good. Most other roms use cm11 to start with and then change it to make their own brand out of it like AOKP does. These roms are easy to use, they are just like stock without ANY of the junk that comes with stock phone rom. They come rooted with Superuser right in the Settings, and they are very rich in features. But you must get a very good build of any CM rom, or else performance will suffer, you get lag, crashes, and other problems. But when you get a good one, there is nothing else like it. The 04/05 UNOFFICIAL Build is very, VERY good!

Try it! Click the Guide: CM11 Performance and Maintenance on XDA Developers in my signature and see exactly how to do it. If you have room and an empty slot in Safestrap, install it with gapps and test it out. I already gave you the links, here they are:

CM11 UNOFFICIAL - Use the 20250405 rom for your particular phone:

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

Gapps - Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779598

If you have something good on slot 1 that you want to keep, "Just in case", make a backup of it in Safestrap. Then delete slot 1. Recreate it again and use the Partition Details found in the guide to make a good partition for cm11. Flash cm11 04/05, add more zips, add gapps, Install and reboot. Turn off "Zip file verification" so you do not get errors installing the gapps. Go through the startup wizard and either let Google put all your apps back or use Titanium Backup to restore your apps. NEVER restore data with apps when coming from a different rom.

You are going to like this man. If anything goes wrong and you "need your phone back", restore your Safestrap backup. But give this a chance, you are *really* going to like this a lot. :D

You are very welcome and "thanks for the thanks". A tap on the PC browser THANKS button by my post or, tap my post in TapaTalk, tap "thumbs up" or star to give "Official thanks" will go a long way my friend. You are also going to like this. When a really good build of CM11 comes out, there is nothing like it. Everything works, it is so smooth, and so may features that you will absolutely love! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well, turn it back on and update OTA, as long as you already have cm11 installed.

Or do it manually as suggested in the Guide. Follow the procedure under the line called:

How to Update CM11 or Downgrade CM11 to an earlier Build w/out losing your current updates or settings:

If you want to do a manual "OTA Style Update" and you already have a running cm11 system, you do not need gapps. The procedure is the same as above bold text line in Guide, but no gapps. Since you already have a running system that is updated, wipe system, cache, & dalvik, install new 04/05 cm build, reboot!

If you have a good, small gapps package on the phone, it does not hurt to add it to the install. The one I suggested is good:

Gapps - Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x:

This is a GREAT build, you are going to love it! :D

Actually, I have been waiting for a very good, very final rom and this is everything I wanted to put on my stock partition and scrap the original rooted Jellybean rom. Even if somehow, a better rom comes out (I don't see how, this one is very good.), I could still update it, even if on stock slot. Once done, I have all the rest of my rom slots free so I could use slot 1 to try something else like this AOKP that everyone is raving about or even CM12 since I have already updated my Safe Strap to version 3.75.

P.S. The Online Guide is due for an update as things have changed. No more OTA, no more pa-gapps, and a few other things. I will do this within the next week or so and announce it here. There is a completely up to date pdf version for downloading, printing, and saving if you wish. Great for printing because a lot of the "clutter" is removed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
Well, I installed 0405 unofficial version and, hell yes, much better now.

Gapps minimal edition didn't work, so I had to revert back to last official PA-Gapps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dwh2o13:
No luck here yet... thanks for all the information Ohmster and all the hard work you've put into the guide. As it turns out, I had already checked your guide, partition sizes, unchecking zip file verification.... i even looked at the Safestrap summary of the flash.. yep, did all that before I posted the question.

Attaching a couple of pictures that might help.. :) I have a feeling this is something right in front of me... so sorry for the basic question here if that's the case
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Okay, it looks like the KK gapps are not going to work. Meneldur just went through this and used the last set of pa-gapps just to get it done. I have the Mini-Modular pa-gapps on Mega. Grab those and use them. Just check play store for any updates after that.

pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20150208-signed.zip

pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20150301-signed.zip

At least this should work and get you to the fun part! :)

Don't worry, I will stick it out and help you guys get this done!

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

Yeah, dwh2o13 is having that problem too. I am upping the last two pa-gapps to Mega for him, or you, or anyone that wants them. An older set is fine, there will be a bit of background updating, phone may or may not be sluggish for a bit, that happened to me for a day last time I did that. But I did not have this great rom. And, check the Play Store and update all your stuff. You will be fine. Once everything updates and settles, and you got it running nice, make a safe strap backup of it, with a purpose! That is something you will want so, for sure, have a backup handy. Weeks later, make another one so your backups of the current rom do not get so old. Delete older backups to make room. Put a keyword in the backup name so you know about it like "up2date", "Great", "OK", or something descriptive.

This is a GREAT build, dude. You are going to be really happy. :D
