CM11 seems to run great. The only issue I have with it is that the network drains 40+ percent of its battery. I lost like 20 percent battery like in an hour. But when I use it in Airplane mode, battery life seems to be more or less as on the stock ROM.

I should mention that the phone is sim-locked, and I can't use it at all for calls anyway. So I don't need the network. But still I wish this would be fixed. Also, I tried disabling the network from Settings/quick settings, but didn't seem to work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Why not go into airplane mode, then just enable wifi?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
Why is it so quiet over here.. :silly:

Anyway, direct unlock will be available in next nightly http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/72393/

Unfortunately there is a noticeable delay when sliding the keyboard open :/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Probably because there is a new thread.

The JBBL builds started rolling and we finally have an official thread for CM11. Use it in the future.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
nobody posts there either :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Not sure what you're expecting. The device is old, did not get that much exposure by the carriers, and was only technically sold in the US.

On top of all that, physical keyboards seem to be unpopular.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
It is still the "latest"/best qwerty phone :/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Be that as it may, seemingly few people actually want to purchase it :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
What is the deal with the inputmethod only correcting "I'm" and "I'?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] EpicSaga:
I haven't been on here for awhile. It depends which source you trust. This forum is pretty straight forward. Thank you for answering my question about the more stable version Very Much.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
Turns out automatic corrections for words typed with the hardware keyboard are completely disabled, words like "im" are somehow still corrected because they are registered as shortcuts.

I got it working now, will submit it to cm when I find time to clean it up.

Talking to myself here :angel:

M10

Congrats for M10.

However, I wasn't able to boot up M10 after updating from other nightlies..

Don't know why it reboot again right after compiling apks...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] motorowner:
Same issue here, switched to 0915-nightly, which is working fine.

Anyway, jbbl thread should be used to discuss current images, afaik.

Is the M10 showing up in updates for us on old JB BL?

I just get an error message then a reboot.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] almonjr:
I'm trying to install the latest nightly onto my xt897c, following the guide at cyanogenmod wiki for xt897c build (can't place external URL's in this post), but I'm running into a snag with the following line:

breakfast xt897c

which results in

"vendor/motorola/xt897/xt897-vendor.mk" does not exist

I looked through this thread and tried moto_msm8960, moto_msm8969, and with _jbbl added to both of those, all with the same error.

Is this device no longer supported? Is there a place to get the vendor files necessary to build CM11 for the xt897c?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
Use the jbbl one, renaming moto_msm8969_jbbl-vendor.mk to moto_msm8969-vendor.mk is one way to fix this error.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I think he's asking for the vendor files.

No CM repo ships with them... You can use TheMuppets, or try to do the extract-files.sh script. TheMuppets is much easier ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
xt897c is long deprecated.

moto_msm8960_jbbl is where the current live code is.

I apologize that I was too attached to using TheMuppets repo and didn't fix the usage of extract-files.sh in moto_msm8960_jbbl earlier.

It should conform to using extract-files.sh from now on:

If someone wants to test aosp keyboard with auto correction for hardware keyboard, here you go.

There is a new setting available, to apply it, slide your keyboard in/out once or rotate your device (if keyboard is in).

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I actually love the hardware keyboard because it DOESN'T make suggestions!

But to each their own, it appears you've made options so it can be enabled/disabled. I'm going to clean up the patch a bit, I hope you don't mind (I hate those red spots that indicate extra/unnecessary whitespace... and I think CM does too ;))
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tuxor1337:
Is it recommended to make a full wipe when upgrading from nightly (in my case 2014-09-06) of CM11 to M10? Yesterday, I tried upgrading without wiping and ended up in a reboot loop where the system would boot as usual but crash immediately once the PIN input screen shows up and reboot again. Is this a known issue?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Going from a nightly to M10, I would recommend doing a clean flash.

You can potentially dirty flash from M9, but even that may fail.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Note that some features in nightly are not present in M10. (e. g. display stays off when pushing power button while proximity sensor is blocked.)

Therefore you can't go from a nightly to a M-snapshot, the patches are not the same/are older.

Sidenote: It looks the encryption won't start when you have loads of things installed. (Possibly not enough space? Or Xposed? Have to take a deeper look.)

My second PQ (which has no additional apps installed) starts encryption immediately.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] stargo:
This is usually caused by missing space for the keystore which resides at the end of the partition after the filesystem. If the filesystem was created with a recovery which did not consider that and allocated all space for the file-system, then encryption will fail. The solution is to make a backup, recreate the partition ("format /data and /data/media", not only /data) with a recovery which knows about encryption and then restore the backup.

I'm using a self built version of cwm for that, which was built with the necessary patch applied.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
That's new to me, I appreciate your information.

I'll try it by the time.

The only thing that worries me is that my used recovery (Open Recovery) might not be able to mount an encrypted filesystem. Because of that it might fail to update cm (because /data needs to be mounted).

I know the concept of partitions and I know that /data/media and /data is the same partition (userdata). So I know that I have to wipe that partition (or resize, which is not possible due to mtd partition format).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
I just tried that.

It seems to work. I had to go to 'mounts and storage' and 'format /data and /data/media'.

The phone restarts this time but the encryption doesn't start.

At least the filesystem now have the right size. So I might need to use something like titanium backup to backup and restore my data.

Thanks again, I will encrypt my phone this weekend.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Some warnings by using android encryption:

- no recovery is able to decrypt /data (userdata partition)

- don't delete any backups until your system is running fine and rebootet correctly

- if cm hangs after an update, you're screwed without a backup

- /sdcard (the internal one; also called /data/media/0) is also encrypted (not /external_sdcard !)

- if /external_sdcard is an ext filesystem, you have to remove it when your phone boots, until the encryption password has been accepted. Otherwise you won't be able to type any password in. (No password prompt -- android bug?)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
TWRP is capable of handling encryption...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Yes, I read that too but I was not able to mount/decrypt /data.

I will test that with my spare PQ. (I used TWRP 2.7.1.2)

edit: [MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION]; I've tested it again with the same version.

If I go to the "Mount"-menu and select "Data" it doesn't change its status. (The box stays empty.)

If I go to the "Backup"-menu, the Data partition has "0MB".

I don't see any way to mount/decrypt /data within TWRP 2.7.1.2.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cloud_9:
Guys..

first of all, i am so sorry to be blunt here, just wanna know that, is this CM.11 can be rooted?

Many thank for the help, really really appreciated that.:D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
CM11 is already rooted.

You don't need to worry about root.

[MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] please read my edit of my last post here.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cloud_9:
if its already rooted, then why i couldn't install titanium backup? Also checked by root checker, it said it isn't rooted ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Go to the settings and scroll down. At the bottom you'll see "Superuser".

That's the built-in root in CM11.

Btw. I'm using Titanium Backup also, it works with built-in root.

You can install Titanium Backup from Play Store without problems even without root.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cloud_9:
sorry, sure we can install it but the root not verified..is it happens to u too?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
You probably denied root access for Titanium Backup and didn't noticed that.

Go to that "Superuser" menu within the Settings menu.

Choose Titanium Backup and set the right settings.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I'll have to ask the TWRP folks... I've never used encryption myself, I just know others who use TWRP + encryption...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] leflow:
Hi

I'm still using the last CM 10.2 build by skrillax but want to upgrade to cm11.

The problem about that is that there is still no function for doublepressing the keyboard and getting additional charaters as seen in cm 10.2.

using sym or shift keys ist much slower for me typing messages or something else.

Is there any implementation planned by kabaldan or skrillax?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
But is far slower.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] stevie13.xo:
Im using it on cm11
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tcrimsonk:
Thanks; are you using the built in tethering function, or an app? Any settings that needed to be changed? Which encryption options?

Thank you.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
Keep in mind that "stock tethering works" is not an universal sentence anymore.

Since version 4.1.2, google is adding crap to please the telephone provider that may break tethering on some provider, especially the MVNOs.

So if you are able to connect to the phone you may not able to browse the web with that connection.

If it is your case you can try ISWAT tether unlocker and see if it helps (i never tested it on kitkat).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] stevie13.xo:
I'm using the built in tethering on cm11 and all is working well.. My friends say 3g is faster that LTE when tethered though.. So when I hang out with them they force me to put 3g on or else I won't hear the end of it

Anyone can confirm that 3G CDMA data work? It didn't work on the first official CM11 build. Now,we have unified build of XT897. So,I guess it's been fixed.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] saint_tm:
First off the microphone volume issue is finally fixed with CM11, great job.

Currently on Nightly 20131215, I've noticed some bugs:

- camera button doesn't work (opening it through app for now)

- usb transfer is slow

Ideas:

- would love to get the double click to special character feature (or long press without the selection char menu) that was in CM10.2.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
It's only available in unofficial build by Skrilax. And Skrilax hasn't build CM11 yet. But,I guess it's coming soon. :)

Read Only SD Card?

I just noticed that my removable SD card (mnt/external_sd) is read only.

I've tried unmounting and remounting it, but that doesn't help.

I re-formatted it from TWRP, which completed without any errors. When I booted back into system, I could see that the format ran, because the contents of the card were all removed except for Android/Data/(several apps folders that now have a creation date of today) and LOST.DIR

So it looks like Android was able to access the card to create these folders, but I'm unable to add a new folder manually. I've tried Astro and ES File Explorer. Neither one works.

I've run Fix Permissions in TWRP, but it looks like it only applies to the internal storage.

I'm running cm-11-20131206-NIGHTLY-xt897c

Any thoughts? Thanks.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Update rom. That issue was fixed December 7 so any build past that should be fine. The most recent build is usually recommended.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tcrimsonk:
Many thanks though for such a quick answer. I'm downloading the latest now.

I know I'm using a "nightly" rom, but I'm not a fan of wiping my phone every day unless I have a good reason, so I like to check first.

By the way, where is the changelog for the nightly builds? This thread just links to the download file. Is the changelog device specific?

Thanks again for your help.

How can I use external Microsd Card as primary storage?

Thanks~
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Currently this option is not available in CM11. Stick to Skrilax's 10.2 builds if you want this feature.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] saint_tm:
I've updated to cm-11-20131221-NIGHTLY-xt897 and the camera buttons now starts the camera app but the app crushes every time (the same via app drawer) even after a wipe.

Also the play store wouldn't connect even after wipe, uninstall and reinstall (4.5.10) had to reinstall the whole gapps (those seems to work fine pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4-20131118-signed)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
I tried, out of couriosity the latest Cm11 nightly, and I had a confirm of my idea.

There is still no point on using it.

I can understand the use of cm10.x instead of the ICS Stock ROM.

You will lose a lot of things (like the mass storage function, the nice quick view on email phone, sms and contacts, the ability to use the flash player inside Opera Classic, and so on.) but on the other hand you will gain a lot of other goodies and customization possibilities.

But kitkat ?

No flash player at all, no circle widgets working, a lot of CM options missing, the ART runtime can be nice on the first time but you should realize that ART is meant not for the user convenience, but to fight the piracy and then the decompilability of the executables.

In short less freedom, more control, less Open source portion, more closed source components.

Another couple of "improved" android release and we will get a Google branded Iphones

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Braccoz:
lots of wrong information there.

flash player still works on JB and KitKat. you have to go through a couple hoops to get it working but it's easily doable.

CM11 is still in development so it's natural the features are missing but they will just come.

ART is meant purely for development purpose as of now, and in the long term it will be there to just speed things up a little bit. Also note that binary files have never really stopped piracy, and besides, with the low prices the apps have on the play store there's really no point in even thinking about piracy.

Im used FOCAL orginal cyanogen camera app work great for with any cm roms

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.xplod.focal

:D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
I'm sure is doable in a way or another, but the question is still the same.

Why I have to mess with a new (somewhat) downgraded experience when I can use something that already works perfectly ?

Frankly I call progress, something that mek my experience better, and any post GB release made my experience worse.

No need to mention the idiotic post ICS app picker, I believe. (just to mention the most obvious thing) no need to mention the limits introduced to the tethering function since 4.1.2 and so on..

Indeed is what I'm saying. CM11 today is just a curiosity, the day it will become usefull I'll take it in consideration.

But that day, I'm sure CM12 will be already available, and this discussion will start over :)

Not a single feature was introduced by google (feel free to replace google with Apple, M$, whatever) just for the user convenience.

In the best scenario a feature is introduced to convenience of google AND for the end user.

Indeed, as always, anything made to fight piracy will complicate the life of the average users, while doing nothing against the pirates.

This one is not different.

Most of the big brothers have learned anything about it in more than 30 years.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ChristianHJW:
I am having the very same problem, thank god i am not the only one. Still, the fact that my 32 GB micro-SD (FAT32) is not usable may force me to go back to Stock ROM, or try CM 10.1 instead. I am doing a complete wipe and reformating of the card now, but i was practically trying all the same tricks as you were doing, namely

- fix permissions in TWRP recovery mode

- mount/unmount the card

- partition it from Android, etc.

but to no avail. Will report here if i can make any progress, this is the last remaining serious obstacle to using my SIM-modded XT897 with CM 11 on a daily basis, all other things are fine/acceptable .....

UPDATE : The problem was caused by a 2nd FAT32 partition on my sd card, which i had on there from the days with my SONY Xperia Pro. Both stock ROMs from Motorola, 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 could deal with this, but CM11 doesn't like that and refuses to mount the entire sd card. After reformatting the 2nd partition as EXT3 (for Linux) all is fine again, the micro SD is mounted and fully usable, and the 2nd partition will even work under Link2SD (i will move lesser used apps onto there to keep my internal SD free).

Must be your provider... Or some settings related to it? I only have EVDO in my area (LTE is supposedly being lit up "soon"...) and works great. Didn't have to make any changes.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
No..I used to have this issue on previous build of CM10.2. But,it has been fixed from a newer build since I can't remember which build has this fix. Since then,I don't have any data issues on CM10.2. Now,it's occured in CM11. I notice 3G icon blinks repeatedly. Seems like it can't find 3G well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Again, I am on the latest CM code, and EVDO works great here. Doesn't drop/blink as you describe.

I don't think I had that issue with CM10.2 either, so perhaps it is something special with your provider.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
That's really confusing. It's EVDO rev A (max speed 3.1mbps) here. Maybe it's a different kind of network in my country. :confused:

Not sure. Most of the towers are eHRPD, but I've been to straight EVDO as well as 1xRTT - no problems.

Hey guys, so, how stable is CM11 currently?

I am on the latest CM10.2 and have almost no problems at all. Battery drain is good as well.

Is something in particular, missing in CM11 right now? Anything I should aware of, before installing it? I have several additional frameworks installed on my Photon Q right now, and I'd prefer not have to revert to CM10.2 if the 11 is still buggy

Thanks!
