That is good advice. At the very least, I need to allow Titanium Backup to restore my system ID. Without doing that, I will lose some paid for apps at the playstore. For one, I like the UK Victoria voice for svox. Unless I revert to original system ID, even if I restored it, it will disappear and not be available for download unless bought again. Yeah, putting everything back with Titanium is a bad idea, I have apps that go WAY back and may not be compatible with Kit Kat. Several apps I restored would just crash either while in use or out of the blue I get a message that cBlocker has stopped working. Report or OK. A very few I need data restore such as ES File Explorer. Fortunately, I have allowed that to update anytime is is available. My logins for all cloud drives and network logins are in the data. Recreating them by hand is frustrating or does not seem to work.

I think a big issue was to tell Titanium Backup to restore all apps that were missing, w/out data. Just about every app I do use at one time or another. But an unstable phone is worse. Going to doctor, have to call and say I will be 5-10 minutes late, please hold my appointment, and the phone goes down. I simply cannot go to recovery, wipe, and reboot because it takes too long. Same with maps and GPS.

There is a new CM11 just about every day. This is WAY too much updating for me, every update is another opportunity for something to go terribly wrong, either human error (I "updated" an older version of CM by mistake once.) or by something bad happening that I did not expect. Plus, who the hell wants to update the phone every single day? This update schedule is insane, although I do appreciate the developers offering meaningful updates as soon as they are available.

I really like the jbx kernel but need something stable. Am now installing and will follow with pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20140117-signed.zip and that is it. I guess install accounts manually. Not allow WiFi during setup otherwise google will repopulate on WiFi and you cannot switch to data once started or it dies.

Well, both installations are successful, rebooting. Wish me luck.

What I meant is before 5.01 i think (not sure, +/- 2 days) you were able to capture photos in default Camera app with the volume buttons. After that they changed it to zoom without an option to choose the functionality. (Capturing in landscape with landscape is not that easy with the touch screen without turning the phone upside down) So at least an option to chose the function of the buttons would be nice. If I knew how I would have already changed it in the latest Camera2.apk but I have no idea how... (how and what to decompile, what to change, how to compile and sign again)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh man, there is no exposed framework! This bites. Not sure if that is a jbx option, don't think it is, but now I have to find it and install it. This bites!

Man I just installed 1/27 CM11, cannot install xposed framework because my sdcard is not mounted or visible. This was supposed to be fixed! What to do?

Install jbx? Go back to a previous backup? I am really pissed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Just go stock and stay there, then you will be happy because everything works... :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Okay, so far, so good. I have a good, basic, working phone. Everything at first glance seems to work. Had to install xposed framework from apk. Gravity Box now works, never did before. Getting basic stuff I need now up and running, will add things as I need them as I go.

At first run, my mobile network was at Global, which does not work on this phone. So I skipped wifi during setup because I did not want google to repopulate at wifi speed. Now that I changed the data plan and finally installed my google acount, no repopulation. Have to do it all over by hand.

No jbx. I don't care. As long as I have a stable working phone that does not require rebooting and wiping every day to restore something I desperately need, RIGHT NOW, I will be happy. Fingers crossed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
there's an Xposed thread here on XDA. get the Framework installer from there.

not sure what's going on with your SD card. i'm on 1/27 and it's visible fine.

edit: I see you've worked it out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aximander:
This Rom does have a few bugs, which is to be expected. In fact, they ALL do. Nothing says you have to update every night. Do a good clean install and leave it be. Don't install a bunch of tweaking apps if you can't deal with the problems that WILL arise.

In general this rom works. I have had errors, crashes, and even "lost" the internal sd drive once. Each and every time a clean install / update (not thru cyandelta) fixed it. The rom gets better everyday.

But I can deal with the problems, reboots and toggling. Annoying at times, but that how flashing roms go.

I don't mean to sound harsh but if these things bother you so much stay on the stock rom. I stayed stock for a year after being a flashaholic with my droid x for some time (MIUI being my fav then). I came back to flashing because I missed the custom options in the non stock roms and my phone had become Super slow. (my wife's too, but she won't let me rom it :eek:.)

Bottom line is stay stock if you can't deal with the errors. Keep posting if you want to understand more and help fix them.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
The SD card came back after rebooting. I installed Xposed framwork apk. Everything works, for the first time I can see Gravity Box. I cannot get the "Don't ask Google" every time you turn on Location xposed module to work. It did before. So from quick settings, it either does not work, will ask for permission, but I need to check settings to be sure. Last version had an icon for GPS. Tried a few Xframework tweaks to get it back, it is annoying to see that it is on or not at a glance. So far this is ALL GOOD but I have yet to pass the 24 hour mark, much less running it for days. No JBX, did install Apex launcher because I really need something good.

I put in a bunch of accounts and setup what I need for now. Time to leave it and see. This is encouraging but only the next few days will tell. I get it with the bugs or else it would be "Stable" by now. But all of the patches and kernel and stuff one had to install to make up for these shortcomings seem to have gone away. They are getting close with this build. I was going to stop and backup immediately, but so much had yet to be done, accounts and all that. I lost the Google repopulator because I skipped google and cyanogen accounts, only had wifi at that time. Had to turn on cmda/LTE/exDO to get back rocket data. THEN I installed the google account, AFTER restoring the original system ID from Titanium Backup. No repop. Bummer, but maybe it is better this way, now I only install what I want and need, not a bunch of junk I messed around with in the past.

No Greenify app this time, I bought and paid for it, but CM11 seemed to have all that covered already. Trying w/out it because memory management is serious in CM11. They do not let stuff like Facebook run forever along with 20 other apps, fighting for memory, slowing things down.

If this passes the several day benchmark, then I will make backup. Older backups were built on a setup with wifi patches installed, jbx kernels installed, camera fix installed, a whole bunch of crap. This is pretty clean.

Anyone know how to make a GPS active icon show in notification bar and/or really turn off Google asking me every time? Xposed module for it is not working, but the rest of them are.

Update:

You do get GPS icons in status bar anytime you run any sort of app that uses GPS. Maps, GPS tool, etc. Exit the app and the icon disappears. Pull down quick change menu does not change color, regardless. Other icons do, they turn bright white or rainbow for my themes. Just not GPS. I can live with it.

Just replace that camera with this one from the Slimkat,it has the option to take the pictures with power key button.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LeroyVold:
Why the hell pin request still not working?

Is it a minor bug? I seems it's one of the most important things into which looking in, isn't it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CJ74753:
Awesome rom except for the fact I can't download any files within the browser, keeps saying I don't have an sd card and neither camera will take pictures as it says the same thing.

Try wiping cache and dalvik... Happened to me once as well

Sent from the alien mothership on my Razr Maxx (CM11 & JBX)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
All of your Google play apps (including purchased apps) are tied to your Google account not your phone ID. You shouldn't need to restore anything from TiBU.

You can get Google to repopulate your phone again by doing a factory reset. I suggest doing this to make sure everything is working properly before installing all your other accounts and additional apps and launchers. I believe this is the best way if you really want to find what is causing conflicts on your phone.

Regards.

I have a BIG Problem with this rom, now I'm on 27/01 update from 15/01.

But in two rom I try, I cannot send SMS or MMS, using many different sms app like Go sms, hangout, stock app, hancentsms...

The message failed: Message not sent.

I try to change SMSC, but nothing happen.

Try to clear data of Messaging app, disable it, force close...but still failed

Now Lunar new year coming, my wife using this phone but cannot send sms...so disaster waiting me there... hixhix

Please help, and Happy Lunar New Year to all you guys!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Did you wipe the cache and dalvik? Fix permissions?

By the way, looks like a huge update on the way for the next nightly after 01/27.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I'm on the cm 20140127 nightly and text messaging using the messaging app works fine for me.

Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache?

If that doesn't work you could try a factory reset or better yet do a fresh install by wiping your custom ROM slot, recreate the ROM slot (slot 2 preferred), and then flash cm and gapps.

Good luck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pine2103:
Yes, I already tried wipe cache and dalvik cache...but prob still on.

Maybe I should try to flash it again...

Thanks for help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I've found that I occasionally need to start fresh. I speculate that some nightlies may corrupt files and subsequent dirty flashes do no fix the problems.

So, although it is a bit of a chore, a clean flash will likely solve your problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CJ74753:
Thanks, that cleared it right up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You know, you might be right about this. With updates appearing nearly every day, some of them cannot be "all good". They may seem to ad some vast improvement at the time, but time will tell and when a week goes by and you must reboot, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, toggle anything, or reboot to stock to get any sort of signal lock, that is NOT a good build. And even the devs do not find this out until the damage is done, but experimental is just that, an experiment. And like any experiment that comes to an end, one has to wash out the test tubes and put all things away to try again. Getting a good build, seeing it work for a week with no issues or issues of significance, one should back that up as a GOOD backup. And revert to it when an "Update" makes it worse rather than improves on it.

I thought about this in all kinds of ways, but did not think of it that way and I am glad you brought that to my attention. Thanks! :good:

I will second that motion. JBX did fix issues with CM11 which have ALL since been fixed in CM11. JBX does offer enhancements like overclocking, CPU governing, frequency, and memory control. All nice, but they add such a vast layer of complexity to CM11 that if you end up with problems, they are nearly impossible to track down. I just wiped, installed latest cm11 and gapps, and nothing more. Everything works. Added xposed framework, thought it came with CM11 but no, must have come from JBX. Not sure. See? Even I don not know how my system got this way. But the clean to a recreated rom slot install is slick as silk so far, not at 24 hour mark yet but nothing to complain about, AT ALL. At a point like this, I will NOT add anything else and see if the phone makes it a week. If it does, it gets backed up and marked "Good Backup".

I don't even know why we use terms like "Dirty Flash". Verizon does not call an OTA update a "dirty update". You just "update from the menu", allow the phone to reboot, and you are done. This should be no different when it becomes mature enough. Great advice Dwillian! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
According to Google your purchase apps ARE tied to your Google account (see towards bottom at https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/113410?hl=en). Is there any chance that you have used more than one Google account (or a different Google account) to purchase apps?

If so that may be why your TiBU restore let's you download all your purchase apps.

You can achieve the same thing by loading all your Google accounts (or initially just the Google account you used to purchase apps if you only used one for purchases) and then manually download and Install any remaining purchased apps that did not reinstall automatically. This would be cleaner than restoring phone ID (and who knows what else) using TiBU restore.

Just a thought.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

Which step can I switch stock(4.1.2) and slot-1(CM11) in SafeStrap 3.65 (XT910)?

Here is my plan :

1. Backup stock slot and slot-1 by TWRP in SS.

2. Delete slot-1, re-create slot-1, restore stock backup into slot-1 and boot check.

3. If stock in slot-1 is ok, full wipe stock slot and restore slot-1(CM11) backup to stock.

4. Boot stock slot and check if CM11 boot/wifi/3g is ok.

I've read some posts about directly install/restore CM11 to stock slot will fail boot and need to re-flash from SBF.

Does someone can give me a howto?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
1/27 has now entered a deep sleep on me twice that it wont come out of. I know the phone is still on because I get notification lights and so forth, but I can't wake it up without a soft reset and reboot. Anyone else?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Nope just "stock" CM 11. Did a fresh install and all that too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pine2103:
I do a really fresh install by create a new slot for it and install wipe dalvik cache clean, but the messaging still not sent the message...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheYama:
Dont do this.

Never flash recovery from slot-x to stock.

I try it, phone not boot and i must use flash via RSD lite.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
You tried with CM11 & SS3.65 or was this with older versions?

I used almost the posted procedure to put CM11 into my stock slot.

Only difference is after I backed up Stock Slot, I didn't restore it to Slot 1 and immediately restored CM11-slot 1 backup to Stock slot and it's running great.

I don't think Stock will run on any other slot, but Stock because it's not Kexec and is not set up for SS or BMM, but may be mistaken about that.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] roscored1000:
bluetooth forgets connections

Just tried the latest 27/01 build but stopped when the bluetooth continually asks to re-pair with established connections when going from flight mode. The CM10.1 I use as stock has no problems so is that something that can be fixed in time or am I stuck on JB for now. Its a feature that I need in my house and car regularly. Thanks I am using xt910 umts

Just installed 29/01 and still the same issue of the bluetooth not remembering the connections and constantly asking for a re-pair?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Just clean installed 01/29 nightly. No issues so far. I've been using JBX up to this point. You guys still recommend using jbx?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
I had the same experience as TheYama. What I ended up doing (after I rebuilt my phone) was to first back up Stock so I have it if I need it, flashed the same version of CM as my Slot-1 recovery over the Stock, booted to make sure I was good (didn't bother with Gapps or logging in after boot just skipped all of that), rebooted to Recovery and then flashed the Slot-1 recovery over the CM in the Stock slot. Everything has ran fine since doing that a couple of weeks ago.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Is there any reason you restored a backup instead of installing CM11 from the nightly zip?

I'm trying to understand the file structure and it seems that SS uses images to run.

I'm not quite sure what I'm talking about here.

If I simply install the CM11 zip to the stock slot would it use the system, data and cache partitions like stock does?

Can I even do that?

Make a backup of stock just in case, then wipe everything in the stock slot and install CM11 in stock slot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LumberjackZac:
issues with full pairing. i'm only getting A2DP no phone connection
[Motorola Droid RAZR] roscored1000:
the connection is good I suppose but it just forgets it as soon as the phone is either rebooted or comes out of flight mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheYama:
Yes, there is a problem with Data partition, where is saved TWRP (SafeStrap). When you over the stock restore rom from Slot-x you rewrite data partition and of corse SS and phone not boot correctly. And system not boot, because stock recovery is locked.

Of corse, its my thing.

This is official information from this web: DON’T RESTORE A CUSTOM ROM-SLOT BACKUP TO THE STOCK ROM. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OctavianH:
The latest nightly (20140129) solves the "PIN lock" issue. So after restart it asked to enter the PIN code to unlock the SIM card (as it was normal to happen and was not working before). GOOD JOB! I hope this information is useful.

For those who have problems with WIFI, just run in terminal "su", "wifical.sh" and then Flight mode ON and after OFF. It will work fine again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheYama:
Yes, I tried CM11 and newest SS. Problem is in SS I think.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
That was how I was told to do it on another forum (Droidrzr).

I think SS3.60 was the current version at the time so it may not be optimal for SS3.65?

As a bonus (since I'm lazy), all my Apps are installed with the restore of the backup ;)

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

that link is for SS3.04 and there's been many updates since then. it was an issue also for SS3.11 and (iirc) the 3.5* versions. it's been working for me since SS3.6*

I always experiment with new roms on the Custom Slots, and since SS3.6* have had no issue restoring their backups to Stock when I decide to promote them to my daily driver.

After that, I flash ROM updates directly to Stock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I used to have issues with some apps not installing giving me an error "app can not be installed on internal or sd". That is gone on the 1/29 nightly. The same app installs normal now! We are making great progress here. No major issues here. So far, everything I use works perfectly. Now to see how long i can go without a signal drop... I did finally get in touch with dhacker29 on the signal loss issue with no return without reboot. He was going to test it on his xt912. I am still waiting to hear back from him, or see a fix in the changelogs. Hopefully, he will get it fixed.

What slot you using? Jbx?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
I'm currently trying to find the cause for your problems and I have a few questions as I can't reproduce these issues on my Droid 4:

Did these issues start with CM-11.0 or were they already present in CM-10.2?

If you are losing signal, does the phone get warm?

Are there any wakelocks held for a longer time than usual (like vril-*, bpwake, ...)

Does the phone still work in USB client-mode on a computer when this happens?

Can you try to get the output of "adb shell lsusb" when you have lost the signal and when the phone works?

Can you try to get the output of "adb logcat -b radio" when you have lost the signal?

Thanks & best regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
Cm 11

Phone does not get warm.

Not sure what wakelocks means.

I think its possibly losing when going to 3g possibly. I've mainly noticed it when I'm driving. The bars usually go all down then right back up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I am on slot 1, no JBX. I have had better luck without it. I did not see any benefit of using it once CM11 got the camera fixed. I have really good battery life without it. I do use SetCPU to set screen off profile to 300 min 300 max, interactive. Screen on 300 min, 1200 max, interactive. I don't feel the phone get warm, or have wake lock issues. I have been a day and a half without a full signal loss, but it will probably happen when I get home tonight. It usually happens once an evening at my house.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

The signal loss I am talking about is full signal loss, (hollow signal bars). It won't come back after toggling airplane mode. It usually happens when switching between 3g and 4g in a weak area. It appears to be a handoff issue. Only a reboot will bring it back. I have tried 4.2 and 4.3 roms and have no 3g at all. Stock and Blur based roms have no issue. It is on all AOSP 4.4.2 roms for me. The phone is not warm when it happens. I'm not connected to USB at the time. I have not done any of the commands you speak of. I have not gotten that advanced yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chiahead52:
So the signal bars goes down and back up? You mean like normal?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
Completely out then come back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I guess I'm glad to know it's not just me.

I've asked about this problem several times. In addition to losing signal totally, which usually takes mean hours, I lose Google server connection.

It will sometimes reconnect after connecting to Wi-Fi, waiting for the icon to return to white, then turning Wi-Fi off again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Question for those of you with signal loss problems, did you buy the razr when it first came out? I am wondering if some of you guys have a different LTE chip compared to some of us who bought the phone 6 or more months after it was first released. Maybe it is a hardware problem and not a software problem??

EDIT: See this link which was written about the time the razr was released: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...problems-and-its-really-pissing-everyone-off/
