FIRST TIME with CM11 on my XT910!.

Installed patched with BMM on Slot 2. Perfect!.

BUT: Build from 7/2/2014 is crashing "Trebuchet" a lot of times :( Help.

++ Ini Trebuchet settings "Drawer" and "Dock" menus DON'T WORK!!.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
There are many reports of problems with using BMM to install CM11. The recommended procedure is to use SafeStrap 3.65 instead and install in ROM slot 2.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adistf:
I have CM11 installed on stock slot and it works great. i'm on 0207 and my launcher(Trebuchet) works perfectly. Battery life is good,15H of usage and 3h+ screen on and i got like 10-15 battery left.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Pelikin:
Where are the Nightlies for the RAZR??

Help me out here guys. NOT new at this, follow the link form the original post to the CM nightlies download page, and no zip file for the RAZR? Which one are you guys using?

THANK YOU
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Peliken, scroll down and select Spyder for 912 or umts-spyder for 910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bailey boy:
Guys, I'm looking for a US XT910 firmware. Does it exist? Or should I use the Asia version since my phone had that originally? Also, my volume down doesn't work anymore... What should I be careful about if I'm trying to install the CM11 fresh
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
2/06 dropped Google sync a lot today. Traveled new area today.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
27 h uptime and no signal loss. Seems like 0206 definitely has the solution built in.

Meneldur @ XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Pelikin:
Got it. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I dirty flashed 2/08 over 06 clean install. Airplane mode doesn't seem to work at all. If I go into settings mobile networks-preferred network type and try to change global to LTE CDMA EVOD. When I back out and then go back nothing is displayed as my selected network type. After a reboot the last selected type is then showing.

On the clean 2/06 I had only a free Google sync drops and a quick airplane toggle would restore it quickly.

I haven't had a total signal loss yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I'm still on 0206 and it has been bad today. Lots of Google disconnects, ringer will only vibrate silently for incoming call (not following settings), It froze up with 3g being orange. It would not let me toggle airplane mode, and when I looked in mobile data, preferred networks, it was blank. It usually says CDMA + LTE/EvDo. I also started to get toast messages popping up that other apps were stopping. I had no phone or internet signal. It was totally locked up. The signal bars never went to hollow, total drop though, even though it was gone. I was able to capture a log, and send it to stargo. Hopefully it will be correct this time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Sounds a lot like what I'm experiencing. By the time I realized what was going on I had forgotten about the log cat. Hopefully yours will tell him something.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] justmoto92:
Wifi unable to connect?!

I'm not able to connect to WIFI after clean install of cm-11-20140207. Either it stuck at authenticating or connecting... Need help :crying:

Running on JBX-Kernel.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wilkster:
Does powering off your phone the starting backup help? If have seen cases recently where a reboot alone doesn't enable WiFi correctly, I must power down first.

Sent from my KatKiss JB TF101
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
Sent mine to stargo
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
Well it sounds like stargo will have plenty tho look at then. This is good. Hopefully he can get it straightened out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wow!

vanwho, wilkster, justmoto92, moset, zero66, you guys are having nothing but problems! Since I went totally clean recently with 12/26, I think. I kept having problems because I would restore a working backup, then update from there. But the backup was kind of old. It came from the days when patches were the norm and jbx was necessary. I hate putting back all accounts, passwords, apps, setting up desktops, the whole nine yards so I would never go "totally clean" when "fixing" cm11, although I always told everyone else to do it. Finally took my own medicine, ...bitter stuff, and got it done.

Deleted rom slot 1

Recreated rom slot 1 and bumped up every space option by one.

Flashed cm11 ONLY.

Wiped cache & Dalvik.

Installed gapps, pa_gapps-modular-mini worked for me.

Rebooted to system and skipped signing in for Cyanogen and Google through WiFi

Repopulating apps through WiFi takes forever so by skipping it while I only had WiFi available caused me to lose that option. Not so bad, went and changed mobile network to CDMA+LTE/EVDO. Got my 20Mbps back and the gapps I picked were just about right for me. I installed xposed framework apk, rebooted. Picked some nice modules and that was it. I did all my updates OTA through menu and the only problem I ever had was my signal bars started dropping in a strong area once. I wiped dalvik and that fixed it but stargo said all I had to do was just reboot, he was working on that issue and build in a modem reset into reboot.

I wish I could help you guys but all I can do is tell what worked for me. Maybe it is my model phone:

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT012 Verizon US

I kept things simple, did install Apex launcher because Trebuchet was not available at that time and although I like it, I want it fully functional before I will go back to it.

Oh, here is some good advice:

When you get a good, working phone that can run for days and days and everything works, BACK IT UP WITH SAFE STRAP! Not all nightly updates are good ones. Some ruin things and are removed in the next release. Don't update every time an update is released. Wait for it to be out for a while and see if there is any bad talk about it.

How do you know if an update is good and it won't be undone in the next release, bookmark and check the Change Log page regularly.

Some guys say that stock slot 1 is okay but I don't believe it. I keep a copy of Matt's Utility Jellybean rooted rom where everything works, all the time. So at least if I need it, I always have a bug free working phone no matter what. CM11 is not old enough to be called stable, never mind "stock".

Good luck boys, I hope to hear some good news from you all soon. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Try deleting all files and folder's in /data/misc/WiFi then reboot.

I had similar problems a couple weeks ago and deleting these files and folders fixed the problem for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I hope this works. It did for some people, others wrecked their phone by doing it. Instead of deleting them, use something like ES File Explorer and move them to your own folder, make a Dwillian folder and move them there. This way, if it causes more harm then good, you can move them back and try something else. ...at least you have a backup in case it don't work. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
With 2/04 I recreated slot 1 installed pa gapps and let my apps get redownloaded instead of using TB. Dirty 2/06 and today 2/08.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Ohmster, so you are currently running 1226 from a totally clean install and you are not having signal drops (actually I think the problem is more that signal does not restore from a loss in poor signal area).

Also are you not getting loss of Google server (indicated by orange signal icon only in pull down settings)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I'm running cm 2014-02-08 nightly installed in slot 2 without any connection problems. I had the Google server connection problem and signal drop problems several nightlies ago, but problems have apparently been fixed in latest nightlies. I do think that installing in slot 2 results in fewer problems.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Same setup here. Clean install of 206 then dirty flash of 208.

Also slot 2. What do you think the problem with slot 2 is?

One tip for setting up desktops (for Apex Launcher)

Open Es File Explorer,

Go to Settings/App Manager and check the empty square next to "Backup data",

Then go to App Manager and backup your Apex Launcher (I assume that you have your desktops already organized).

So,you did a backup of your Apex Launcher with all it´s data and settings.

The next time when you do a clean flash of some rom,first you install all apps that you use and then open Es File Explorer,open App Manager,switch from "User Apps" to Backup Apps,find Apex and when you tap on it,it will ask you to install with cashed data.

Do it and everything will be as it was before.

You can do that kind of backup with every app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh I like that. You went all the way clean, no jbx, nothing to overcomplicated things, and should have a good working start.

One think I cannot stress enough here and that is the KISS rule. (Keep it simple, stupid!)

Once an app gets mature enough to stop making major changes to the filesystem, ARTS, dalvik, or anything else that is NOT compatible with the previous update, then you can OTA update and the developer will release OTA updates. Up until that point updates must me made manually with an instruction set and perhaps other files to flash. So once we get to real OTA updates, you can stop calling them "dirty". They are just settings menu OTA updates.

Dirty is when you have to go clean again and flash the new zip clean because it so radically differs from what came before it that the two are essentially incomparable. As a rule, same version updates are OTA. New versions like 10 to 11 is a MAJOR update and I was really surprised to find it in the update list as it cannot possibly be installed as an OTA. I did it just for laughs, went cm10-.2 to cm11 OTA just because it was there, but knew it would fail horribly. It did. It installed but nothing worked, crashes every 2 seconds. Of course, it requires an entirely new set of gapps among a million other things.

If you have any paid apps, use Titanium to restore your previous system ID. It will not hurt anything and you will be able to download, install, and keep the things you paid for. Now, try everything. Camera. GPS. WiFi. WiFi AP, signal strength amount of bars and to be sure, Settings, About Phone, Status. Look at your Signal Strength in DBm. Lower is better. Anything from -70DBm to -90DBm is good. I live in a Verizon saturated area so my signal is always good unless I enter concrete buildings like hospitals or parking garages. I an sure you can use the phone above -90DBm but where it cuts off to "No Signal" I am not sure.

If everything is solid for a day, install your xposed framework and pick some good modules. I bought Greenify but found it is not really necessary or helpful with Kit Kat. I will give you my module list if you want a good list to start with, but don't go nuts with them. I only use them for icon tweaks and things to pretty it up for now. Once I know it is rock stable, I will play with the startup manager, battery saver, oh, and one thing I do use, is the keep screen on for certain apps like Maps. No sense having the GPS screen black out while driving. Besides, I have and use a car charger.

You can play with the modules a bit, but nothing too heavy or major until you are SURE you have a stable system. Then, have at it! Good job, but make a backup of this install, NOW, while it is still clean! ALWAYS keep at least one clean backup on your system. You can setup your accounts first if you wish but get that backup done, like today or tomorrow at the latest!

Sounds good. Keep us up to date. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Uhm, I started with 12/26 but have OTA updated to 02/08 by now. Only problem was ONE of the nighties did mess up my signal, it would lose bars until I had one left. Made a test call, it worked. Withing 15 later, No Service". I rebooted and did a dalvik wipe but stargo is working on this and put an init modem string in the boot-up sequence. A plain vanilla reboot would have fixed it with no wiping. I started losing GPS too and this was too much. I restored my clean install, updated to newest CM11, and have not had a probllem since.

As far as orange bars in pulldown settings, I use the rainbow icons for signal and WiFi from xposed module Ex-Themer KKm status bar mods. My area is soaked with Verizon but I have seen the orange bars you speak of. I will turn off the icon tweaks to get you an answer. My favorite is Rainbow by grisoxxl

but let me see if I can turn it off for a minute. Aright I went back to start and restarted user GUI all from within the module. Bye bye rainbow. :p

Bars for Verizon were all white. I turned on wifi. They both went orange. Now they are white again. WiFi works great, connects instantly, and no problems at all. Now for data. Using Ookla Speed Test.

Ping=20

Mbps Download=20.24

Mbps Upload=5.48

Looks good to me. One last peek at pull-down menu bars: All of them are white in color.

REAL DBm test of signal strength from Settings/About hone/Status: -85DBm on LTE.

That is a very strong signal. Now can I please have my rainbow icons back?

You might be right about the orange meaning low signal strength but without any real way to resume it as in -DBm for phone signals, how can you get meaningful answers for Google Servers or essentially a "data connection meter" app? I will look around or one. But this is how mine works and I have no problems with it. Honestly I do not know if that orange crap means anything significant at all. Until you get some sort of internet meter and get good results, like Ookla, then you are good. There are no "connection issues with Google" that I am aware of.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
No, orange means no Google server connection.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bigmoew:
2/08 via cyandelta - doing great
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Mosset, If you are online with a good, steady data connection, why would you NOT have a Google server connection? Google Sever is NOT a 24/7 connection. You connect, complete your transaction or business, and get off. Just like any other business. If Verizon puts you online, you have zero need to remain connected to any sort of Verizon server other than backup and restore. Same for Google backup, restore, and sync. Since google syncs so much of your online data, it is a sure bet that you guys hook up often, but do you go your separate ways afterwards I use LOT of this suff and cannot live without it. Look at my thumbnail. See how many things have to sync up like Chrome if you use it, all bookmarks, cookies, settings, and addons. I don't use Chrome. But I do use mail, contacts, and calendar, as well as music. That is a hell of a lot of stuff to sync but when sync is done, it is over until next scheduled sync otherwise you have people stopping by for a drink or hors d'oeuvres and they never leave. Sync yer stuff and get the hell out, make room for the next guy.

Are you having problems reaching the play store? Another Google service and they let you right in because you are there for a reason. To browse apps, update, buy, or download. Google +? Hangouts? Unless you see problems with any of these things, I do not honestly believe you have a legitimate reason for concern. If the orange bars bother you, install the rainbow bars for signal and WiFi like I did in xposed module Ex-Themer KK status bar mods. and enjoy the pretty colors. They are quite functional and do drop with signal loss.

For all I know, the white might mean a sync is occurring. When it goes orange, the sync might be done and over with, sync connection closed, icon goes back to orange. Makes as much sense as anything. Check your Sync Status in Settings, Accounts, Google, your mail account, and you will see all the things Google must keep synced. I bet they are all just blue check marks. Click 3 dots, "Sync Now" and all items will begin to sync, if you are fast enough, pull down the quick setting panel and look at the colors both while in sync and while idle. Maybe you can learn something that way. It might help.

Hope this helps.

My signal stays around 100 dBm at my house. 2 bars

Usually when I ota I go into SS wipe cache dalvik then flash.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LumberjackZac:
most users are getting OTA updates or using cyandelta once you download and flash CM11. under settings, about phone.

im using stock slot with great success.

it just keeps getting better. no problems with 2/8
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
South Florida, Verizon 5 bars, -70- to -90 DBm. Good signal. Your signal always that low? Where do you live, does it ever get better?

OTA update *does* wipe cache and davlik. Part of the update script. If you do not believe me, watch the boot screen, says updating ups 1 though how ever many their are. The only time you see this happen is when the dalvik is wiped.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
Yes at my house. In town 15 mins away 70-90 full bars. East TN
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but the signal icon in the status bar would change from white to blue pre KitKat to indicate Google server connection. They changed it, according to a Google engineer for a uniform look and most people didn't know what it meant anyway.

They put that indication only in the settings pull down.

As for what it does mean, if it's white you are connected to Google servers and you get push notifications. If it's orange you don't get push notifications.

Ever notice a bunch of gmail coming in all at once, or hangout messages? That's because you lost Google server connection then got it back.

Several apps use push so they don't have to check in with their servers to get data updates. Push sends them when they are available.

I don't know what else that Google server connection does but I see slower graphics loading on the play store and for some reason Facebook updates are much slower.

That's what I think the Google server connection does, please someone more learned on the issue chime in.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
My understanding is that a "dirty" flash is when you flash over an existing installed ROM (including OTA or manual flash updates). On the other hand a "clean" flash is when you flash into an empty or newly created ROM slot.

As you say a "clean" flash is typically required for a major version update (like cm10.x to cm 11), but may also be required if a "dirty" flash seems to result in an inordinate number of problems (especially if most other users are not experiencing the same problems).

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

In KitKat orange means connected to the network, but not connected to Google servers. White means connected to Google.

This is the same behavior as in Gingerbread and JellyBean accept the icon colors were gray and blue, respectively (and the colors showed in the notification bar; a feature I truly miss in KitKat).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marlowe310:
For a while now I've been getting the following error about 2/3 of the time after rebooting-

"the process com.android.systemui has stopped"

I click okay, the phone goes black for a minute or two, and then reappears, as if just after boot.

Any idea what this is and how I might solve it? I've missed a couple calls due to the issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Oh well, so much for 02/06 fixing the signal thing. Had to reboot to get signal back just now.

I was able to capture a radio log and sent it to Stargo.

I may have a solution. Thinking seriously about a Droid Maxx upgrade.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zero66:
Mine does the same. Slow images and Facebook when orange. All email comes in after airplane toggle from orange.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] soundgirl101:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] gruev:
There is no 9.02 for umts_spyder, but as I dirty flashed 08 over 10 it kinda restored the settings. Everything is as it was before 10 + the icons I added on 10 were on the home screen too

CM 11 M3 is available for RAZR as well?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Stargo, you are the man! Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kburt8:
To the devs participating in this thread:

1) Thanks for the excellent work on these devices, especially since they were initially left for dead.

2) Any chance you could plant a seed about restoring the Google connection indication to the status bar for all CM11 builds? I realize that it was removed as a standard feature in KK because most users didn't know what the color change meant, but I think it is an important feature for the typical CM user (even more so for omap4 devices experiencing problems with connection loss).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I'd like that too. I'd rather it become more stable though.

And I also send thanks to our developers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
you can enable #2 with GravityBox Xposed module.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kburt8:
Thanks. I am aware of this, but installing Xposed has downsides (security, incompatibility with ART, unknown status of future updates, etc.) and adds additional steps to flashing CM updates. I think that many users feel that this is something that should be a standard feature (and had been until Google foolishly removed it from AOSP with the KitKat update).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Changed that plan a little bit and also built a test-build for spyder: http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/test/

I hope it works, have no spyder to test it...

It would be great if people affected by the signal-loss issue (not the loss of google-service-connectivity) could test this build for a few days.

Thanks & regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
Thanks Michael for sorting this out. I have it installed and testing. Hopefully I can continue to report good news over the next few days. I appreciate your hard work to support our older device.
