Come and be welcome, roscored! We have issues with everything. Remember, this is an entirely new rom, from scratch, and it incorporates something we never had before, dreamed of, and is now a reality, Kit Kat. This is the most current generation of the Android Operating System released to the public from Google to run our phones. This new update has aggressive memory management that takes the old "throw out your phone every two years because it just cannot keep up" belief that we all had, for so many years. Apps would run, use memory, then refuse to exit or go to sleep. Since we only have one gigabyte of RAM available on either the XT912 or the XT912, this little "oasis of memory" is quite precious.

Facebook would run and due to it's own value of self importance, it hogs memory and will not quit or go to sleep. What if your friend is now playing "Farmville" We all realize the importance that you receive this news immediately because, who knows, maybe you will duck out of that management seminar upon receiving this news to rush off and play Farmville too! ...stranger things have happened. (For those that have not yet figured it out, I am being facetious.)

The phones are for the most part, identical, however GSM and CDMA are totally different radio systems for the phones, they are NOT compatible in any way, and the XT910 phone was developed for that market, i.e.: Outside of the US. This link may answer some of your questions: XT912 v.s. XT910 specs and comparisons

Hopefully this will answer some questions and make you feel welcome. By paying attention, reading, and experimenting on your own and posting the results, you are sure to find a home here and gain many of the answers you seek. Hope to see you stick around my new friend!

Updated to the newest nightly version and we will see what happens.

I don't know if its a bug or just me, but when I reinstalled titanium backup, the menu button did not work in the app. I use apex pro and I had to make long-press on the menu button also open/close the menu. That was the only way to access the preferences.

I also saw in another post about wiping the internal SD also, but SS 3.6.5 would not let me wipe the internal SD. I'm on a Verizon XT912.

On another note, is there a way to change the color of the status bar items? As in, clock, battery, signal, wifi, etc? Or do I have to use ROM manager to change these? I want to change them all to red.

Never mind about the red status bar, I found betterkat theme to change the style.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Not sure about the Titanium issue, but you can customize the crap out of your status bar. Use the Xposed Framework, install it, reboot, and pic your modules. As to that they are and that they do, the list is too big for me to list but I can give you a list you can read online.

Xposed Module Repository​

These modules are fantastic. They are integral to the rom because the Xposed Framework is integral and the modules it supports, become a part of the system. They do all sorts of amazing things that no single or combination of apps could ever do. Change your statusbar icons to something more eye pleasing, give you live updates on memory, CPU use, and other stats, they can restore the nav bar, give you cursor keys, remove ads, and many, many other things. You get a checkbox next to each module so if you wish to stop using it without removing it forever, uncheck the box, reboot, and it no longer is part of the system. Put the check back, reboot, and it works again. you can add and remove them at will to find the ones that work good for you and be happy with them. I have listed my modules so many times here, they are all over the place. If you wish, when I get a chance, I can list them again.

But if you are not using the Xposed modules, you are missing out on a BIG PART of what cm11 has to offer. Now go read the link, install the framework (it should be near the end of your apps list in the app drawer), then download a few modules from within the download list of xposed, check them as active, open them and activate what you want, reboot, and enjoy the fruit of your labor. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] segordon:
I know in slimkat and liquid smooth, all you had to do was swipe left or right in notifications to access quick tiles. Is this disabled in cm11 or just added to those? Also any news if pocket mode is coming to cm11?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
To access quicktiles or notification details, pull down from top left of screen to access notification details. Pull down from top right for quick panels including Settings. In either screen is a white blob, looks like stack of 4 white books in quick settings and looks like 9 white square dots, touch that spot to toggle between notification and settings.

I really want for you to go read about those modules and pick some to try out. You, my dear friend, have NO idea of what you are missing. I will supply 4 screenshots.

Shows pull downs for Notification details and Quicksettings

Shows all of my currently active Xposed modules, pages 1/2

Current Xposed modules 2/3

Current Xposed modules 3/3

Go, read and bookmark the list. Start out with one you might like. You mentioned changing statusbar colors to red. This may be available in an upcoming theme, but I would not hold my breath waiting for it. For now, use Ex-Themer[KK] and enable custom color. Gravity Box, Statusbar Tweaks, turn on and enable statusbar custom color. Android Tuner Free, change theme color but do not mess with this yet, very complicated, many items require purchase, and too complex to just sit down and tweak your heart out. Learn something easier first like what I already gave you.

Start with Gravity Box, then go to Ex-Themer[KK]. Some features overlap, be careful about that. Do not change the statusbar color to red in one module and green in another one. You can pick red for statsbar color and use Rainbow icons from the other, this will not cause a problem. But never change the same item to different values in different modules, settings, themes, or other methods. If changed to red in Gravity Box, choose to leave statusbar color alone, but go ahead and pick attractive signal icons if you wish. Just do not overlap different configurations for the very same item in defferent places, is all. Now have at it and have some fun!

NOTE:

If you have Safe Strap and a bit of room, save your current working setup in a Safe Strap backup prior to tweaking any sort of customizations for the phone in the event it comes out bad and you have no idea of where it went wrong or worse yet, how to undo it. Therefor always make a safe strap backup prior to performing any serious changes to the phone system appearance as well as functionality. Easier to restore a backup than to try and figure out and restore "what went wrong". Good night and good luck my friend.

That is enough to get what you want for right now. Have at it. I *love* good news. Create some for yourself and share it with me. :good:

Safe Strap dropping support for Droid Phones

End-of-Development Support: Motorola OMAP devices (Droid 3, Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR and Droid 4)

:crying:​

I was wrong, at the time that announcement was made, there were no omap-4 developers out there. Stargo has been in touch with Hash and thus Driod phones will remain on the Safe Strap menu. Sorry for the confusion.

Okay, this could not bite the big one any much worse. What's next? Is TWRP offering anything for our class of phones?

I have a question and it may not be easy to answer. In Safe Strap, we have one stock slot and 4 rom slots. With so little internal storage, the chance of ever getting to use slots 2 4 is practically nil and I do know when you recreate a slot, you can bump up partitions sizes. I just tried to update Gravity Box and it failed. Said out of room. Clear out some space and try again. How?

I made a really good backup. Can I either resize the exciting slot 1 or delete it, delete 2 and maybe 3 while I am at it, and create a super sized slot for cm11 and then restore to the much bigger slot? Since I will never use slots 2-4, it is simply "dead space" on an internal card that I cannot spare any space on at all, much less a residency for roms that will never call my slots "home". Any ideas fellows on how to get more room in my cm11 slot one in Safe Strap so I can really enjoy it and am not constantly up against a wall when it comes to space?

Any and all ideas welcome. Any from actual experience especially welcome. What would you do, guys? :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
Can't you just delete the slots altogether?

Also, get rid of some of your backups. They take up a lot of space. In SS recovery mode, I would go to the slots you don't need, wipe everything, then delete the slot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Of course you can swipe.

Just swipe along the "handle" (the bottom edge that you use to pull the bar down/up).

thanks for the encouragement

Hi thanks for the encouragement regarding the phone, I am little like you in that I am looking for a daily driver, My Atrix is residing with my girl friend and she wont let me touch it while it has a stable rom. My little Defy has a copy of Slimkat on it and it chuggs away with that though I dont use it as a phone any more. now I use the razr for basic things, eg no games, videos etc. so I need it to work in the car, at home with bluetooth home phone and such, so stability is important more so than any of the trickier things that kit kat may offer. Its great though to be not stuck with one O/S like iphones and have this great bunch of like minded people around the world who delight in "fiddling" with the technology that is available to them and make it their own creation, more power to you all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anticor248:
Hey guys is it available that new cm theme chooser on last version?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I would delete all custom ROM slots, then create one new slot sized as large or larger than you need, then restore your backup.

You may also want to make sure that all your media files (photos, videos, music), and your twrp backups are stored on external SD card. That should leave plenty of space for one or two custom ROM slots.

I typically use the default partition sizes except I bump up the system partition to 800mb so that the stock PA GApps will fit. Using stock GApps puts all the GApps in the system partition leaving more room in the data partition.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] segordon:
Ahhhhhh, in SK and LS you can swipe anywhere. Thanks

OK, this is probably "just me", but on both 5/21 and 5/25 I've tried the new theme engine and the new themes designed for it; and for the life of me, I can't get it to show me the fonts in preview mode, and applying them does nothing...

I have been OTA updating, and am running Exposed Framework with the modules shown.

that blog post is from last October and there have been updates to our SS since then and it looks like he's been somewhat involved with CM11, so it looks like Hashcode had a change of heart :victory:

. . . at least for the time being
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, I was premature. Micheal spoke to Hashcode and since Stargo has taken over the omap-4 phones and is certainly a competent developer, he is not pulling support for Safe Strap.

Sorry to alarm you folks, Safe Strap is here to stay, for a while longer, anyway. :victory:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I am going to try that Sheri. Since we get all of these 2GB slots, we can no way use them all unless you pick "very slim roms". I asked our developer about it and he said if I delete slot 1 and 2, then recreate slot 1 and bump up the data partition to 3Gb, that should work. Then restore the backup I am making to this new, "super sized" slot. System should be fine but data is where all of our stuff goes and that is where I am constantly on the edge of what more to uninstall or delete? Not much, as far as I can see. I asked if restoring a backup to a larger partition would cause problems and Stargo does not think so, it is a tar file that contains the structure of the file system, not the limits of it.

Hmmm, made the backup to EXTSDCard and deleted rom slot 1. Cannot delete anymore slots, no matter what you pick, you get "create slot". Default data partition size is 2GB, System is 700Mb, and the other one is 300Mb, I forgot what it was. But Data is going up to 3GB. Says I have just over 4Gb free space. Shame that our phones lock out 59% of our internal 16GB space and all we get is 8Gb. Locked system, nothing you can do about it. On with the show!

I am going to try this and let you know how it works. We need SPACE, not unused rom slots. For me, one slot for Stock and 1 slot for cm11 and I would be happy. Thanks for the tip, will let you know! :highfive:

You have to check the change log for information like that. Is it good enough or what you want? Well, only you can tell if you install the update. If you do, please be kind and tell us how it went, what works and what doesn't.

If you have the room, make a Safe Strap backup first so you will not lose what you have now in the event that the new update somehow "breaks something". Delete and older backup if you have to. Good luck and go for it! :good:

Location where you live and use the phone, use closest major city if you wish to remain private.

How did 05/17 get on your phone, Update from Settings menu or manual clean install from Safe Strap with cm11 and pa-gapps?

Have you done any OTA (System/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates/ tap rom to download and install.

What efforts have you made to update further?

Do you have any backups that are recent and good?

Without providing meaningful details, you cannot expect to get help. This is like calling the doctor and telling him your stomach hurts real bad, what should I do about it? Without an examination and tests, not even the doctor can help you.

Supply details please (Remember, YOU have the PHONE, YOU have the problem, and WE cannot see it.) :good:

* XT-910 (umts-spyder)

* safestrap v.3.72

* CM11 on ROM slot 1

* continues dirty flash till 20140517 via safestrap

* never update through cm updater because I'm not sure if safestrap is compatible with cm updater

* live in Ambon, Indonesia (you may see that if you on PC)

* only wiped cache & dalvik cache before & after flashing the ROM

I think I might jump to 5/26 ... 5/23 has been pretty solid for me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Ohmster.

I'm not entirely understanding what you are talking about regarding ROM slots. SafeStrap offers four slots for use but doesn't reserve space for each of these slots. So deleting slots won't help; at least, that is my understanding.

And you won't be able to delete a slot unless you had actually created it in the first place. And if you have created a slot or slots, well then each slot will obviously eat it's portion of your internal storage.

Those slots are available for use but limited to how much internal space we have. Theoretically we could use all slots; but in practice, it's a difficult feat considering the size of the internal storage available to us.

Just my opinion. I may be off track here. Just maybe I'm confused here

BTW, how are the latest nightlies holding up? I'm still on 05/20.

I have 5/25 installed on the stock side and I have not seen any problems yet. Just installed it yesterday. Came from slimkat 5.0

Tapped From My Razr Maxx On The Dark Side
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Right on the money about safestrap, ROM slots 1-4 on the boot menu are just labels, referring to possible ROMs: if you install them! When you create a ROM slot and assign sizes to the partitions, safestrap creates a container file for each partition; the container file then contains a virtual filesystem. On boot, safestrap mounts these virtual filesystems so that they appear as actual partitions in memory, allowing the contained software (ROM+data) to think it exists in the actual phone storage memory.

Ergo, if you have not created the container files, they do not exist and cannot take up space!

Personal experience with nightlies, I have been running 5/25 with no problems since it was uploaded. I OTA'd from 5/21, and use stock kernel with Xposed Framework. It seems snappy, and battery life is better than some builds of late...

Made the jump to 5/27 as I wasn't happy with 5/26

Thoughts:

Slow initial start-up after install, just lagged on the home screen for a while

After everything booted it needed to settle like days past as it was very slow

After I let it sit the thing started to fly

Battery: Can't speak to as my battery is shot generally but seems okay, I generally run with GPS on device only or Battery saving, WiFi and BT on but not always connected

Orange Bars: Can't speak to in terms of cellular yet as I'm home and on WiFi and I never get them on that so will test that more tomorrow and maybe if I go running tonight

RAM: shows about 50% usage, maybe a bit more but I feel this is subjective and varies by device

I am also trying out the lock screen Start. Kind of neat as there are nested menus.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That is how I update all of the time, through the settings menu. I never really have problems with it unless I get a very bad build. Since I always back the really good bills that true themselves after several days, I revert to unknown good build the floor I update to something newer.

Are you or your brother experiencing any significant problems? Do you both have XT912 phones?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Day two of 5/27 finally presented some orange bars. I removed Start and reverted back to the built in lock screen due to battery drain. System still seems nice and snappy. I got 7.5 hours yesterday off my destroyed battery with WiFi, Battery Saving GPS, and BT on, which is fairly good for me.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Very good news. Yeah, I was getting orange bars, a LOT, but they seemed to have stopped in the recent builds. Stargo gave me the codes you can enter on your phone dialpad to check your Google Server connection. It may come in handy for you because it tells me everything is fine and by the color of the icon, it should be. But it does offer a lot of information, want to give it a try?

Once you dial the last *, it takes you right to the Google Services page. Here is what it showed me in the attached screenshot.

This is a very useful tool to use for those with orange icons to determine connectivity to your Google servers, ping time, and connection. Try it and let us know how it works for you. :)

UPDATE: Friday, May 30, 2014

Today I was having orange bars so I wanted to see what the Google Services page would say about it. I went to dialer, dialed in exactly:

*#*#426#*#*

...nothing happened. The number dial bar went blank as if I did not dial at all, no call, no screen, nothing. Thinking I made a mistake, I got the instructions out, retried it while still in orange, ...nothing. I gave up and went on to other things like restoring my 4G indicator. Have a nice screenshot for any of you that want it with easy instructions where to do it in Gravity Box. There is also an H+ indicator, which is 3G, I think.

By now my icon colors came back and right out of nowhere, bam, my Google Services page came up like 10 minutes after trying. So, I guess the Google Services page is only available when you connect. But it is still pretty neat. Just wanted to let you guys know, in case it did not work for you and why that could possibly be. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] segordon:
No problem for the input. I figured why use slots when I could just install it on the stock side and make use of the entire system. Yes it is risky, but I don't see a reason to use slots unless you are just going to test out a ROM. Slimkat 5.0 was stable for me but I wanted CM11, once I went to CM11 5/25 I have had no problems. I'll probably stick with 5/25 unless the devs add pocket mode like in Liquid Smooth.

Has or is, anyone having success using the app UCCW with this ROM? I using apex pro but when I add the widget all I get is a lock and unlock icon.

Okay so after spending some time in the comfort of an older 0419 version, I jumped boat and upgraded to 0525 and then to 0527. I have to say I'm a bit unimpressed by the battery performance of the two newer releases, from an average of around 24 hours on the April release I'm now barely making it to the end of the day. Average usage hovers between 5 and 7% / hour, vs. around 3 for 0419.

One other thing I found, is, maybe it's just me, but updating apps the phone started giving me the "not enough storage" or something. And here I found it:

- When attempting to check the available space under settings / storage, it will take forever to break up the different categories (pictures, apps, etc), to the point it would not finish even after an hour or so.

- Free space was around 200 MB, and the message was for an app around 15 MB.

But this is the most important:

- I tried to move a couple apps to the SD to free space in the internal storage. This seems to take forever, AND ALMOST EVERY TIME it ends in a self reboot.

Maybe it's just me because I've been dirty flashing since ever, now I'm trying to keep moving forward to 0530 see if any of this is behaving better, but it would be nice to hear others' experiences. TIA!
