To those running unified moto_msm8960 nightlies: are your devices running "smoothly" at all? I got my RAZR M today and outfitted it with dhacker's TWRP 2.6.3.2, plus the latest unified nightly and [MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] 's kernel, but to my surprise, animations stutter everywhere and items take a while to open. Reflashed without the kernel and the lag persists.

For reference, I flashed the same unified nightly on my Photon Q and things are still as smooth as ever. The RAZR M and Photon Q shares near identical internals, screen, etc. - they even share the same unified nightly.

What could be the problem?

can anyone tell me how to flash on my xt905 without lag and slow.i'v flashed so much times and it's slow and lag
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
Both didn't help, as I expected, the problem isn't in those factors.

Furthermore, all CM10.2 and CM11 builds suffer the same lag. Please check my thread in the Q&A section for more details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2667540

I'm now using CM10.1 to temporarily avoid the lag.

EDIT: Even ART didn't help. "Disable HW overlays" helped for a tiny bit though, which leads me to thinking that the lag is on the graphics side.

Try this: switch to the Performance CPU governor & increase the minimum frequency to at least 1GHz. Test for a few hours then report.

PS) Without system logs & cats (i.e. hard information), how are we supposed to pinpoint the culprit?

PS2) For better results, donate a bootloader unlocked M to a willing maintainer.

PS3) Stop cross-posting duplicates for help.
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
1. Raising CPU frequency helped a bit, but doesn't get the system fluidness back to the level seen on CM10.1.

2. It's not that I won't provide them - I'm no noob - but what logs and cats should I provide? Point them and I'll get them.

3. I'm in China. Period.

4. That "duplicate" in the Q&A forum is because I found that the problem exists not only on CM11 but also on CM10.2, and includes a bit more details, so I'd like to isolate the discussion away from the main CM11 discussion. If anyone feel there's a duplicate, feel free to clean the posts in this thread and move the discussion over there.

Last night I tried Carbon, Gummy, Vanir, etc. and I can verify that - but any idea why? As far as I can see, this may be caused by some changes between 20130910 and 0911 (see here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/79209-major-lag-on-nightlies/ ), but I couldn't find a changelog that reflects the changes back then.

And why does everyone feel content when the lag is obvious and all over the place? :what:

[Droid RAZR M General] PantherVT:
I don't understand how one xt907 can run smoothly and another xt907 will have lag issues with the same ROM. Back in the 4.3 days my phone was very laggy while others claimed to have smooth transitions on their device. Now my devices runs like butter (from a visual standpoint) and yours does not. Im currently running unified Gummy 3/2/14 nightly with no lag issues.
[Droid RAZR M General] FirePsych:
We're content because the ROMs are basically free notwithstanding anything you choose to donate. We're content because devs donate their time to do this and tolerate ungrateful people who whine. I paid for a phone that was a year old and I want it to run a ROM(s) isn't wasn't designed for.

Unless I'm wrong, Google hasn't actually released AOSP for this phone, so everything we have is borrowed from other phones and made to work on our phones.

Are we frustrated? Of course. Chances are, if we're on this forum, we want to squeeze as much out if phones as possible. But we're frustrated with Google and the carriers, not the devs.

Frustration and gratitude can coexist.
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
Hmm, okay, I was just wondering why I don't see many other people reporting the issue when it's so apparent. After all, when 2 phones (the Q and the M) with nearly the same internals behave differently, who would not raise their eyebrows?

But it looks like I as a Chinese stands on a totally different viewpoint where donation is impossible and gratitude is only based on things that "work exceptionally well"... I apologize for the resulting unrest and upset in the community.

In other news, here's a logcat from the CM11 20140301 unified nightly in case it helps someone narrow down the issue: http://d-h.st/Arm

And more basic information:

Device: XT907

Recovery: CWM 6.0.4.4 official / TWRP 2.6.3.2 by dHacker29 / PhilZ 6.00.8 & 6.19.3

ROM before installing: latest stock 9.8.1Q-94 without mods

Baseband: SM_BP_101032.021.32.80p

The same goes for Carbon. For unknown reasons Gummy and Vanir didn't even boot so I don't know how these are.

Also, I happened to have enabled "display CPU usage" in developer options on both the Photon Q and RAZR M, and after comparison, I found that a process named "system_server" is always in the top 3 of the CPU usage list on RAZR M, but it's seldom seen in the list on Photon Q. Killing the process with "killall" command results in a hot reboot.

Even more info dug up from the ground:

I found the 20130910 and 20130911 nightlies still available for download here: http://goo.im/devs/cm/xt907/nightly

I flashed them respectively and found that it's indeed as described before - 0910 is smooth and 0911 starts to lag. The trouble should be in between.

Changelog can be found in /system/etc/CHANGES.txt, and here's what have changed:

The bold ones are what I feel may be the culprit, so I looked them up and found these:

https://github.com/razrqcom-dev-tea...580#diff-34cd4236596ec53a0816fd4349ef62ebL141

https://github.com/Atrix2-Dev-Team/...mmit/863c05db81928dc14c7e0b735f1c033d07265a95

...which are basically the same thing done in forward and backward order. Unfortunately, simply copying the supposedly "changed" files from the 0910 build to 0911 build doesn't kill the lag, so I guess a compilation is needed to utilize the necessary changes.

Hope these info I dug up can help devs identify this better.

Please test this CM11 boot.img (for moto_msm8960 unified build) on Razr M and let me know if it fixes the lag, thanks.

And YESSSSSSSS! The lag is finally fixed! May I know which commit in my list caused this issue and why?

BTW, your file host is accessible in China but slow as hell when downloading from the phone :D (5MB boot img = 8min) Never mind, better than Mediafire by all means!

The commit was not on your list as it was a kernel commit. It was this one:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/d5eb98630ea82bb6df84749859571b89ac4238eb

As to why: Razr M display panel is different from Photon Q panel.

As it appeared now, Razr M panel driver - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../drivers/video/msm/mipi_mot_cmd_smd_qhd_429.c - would need to be updated to work correctly with that "changed TE simulation and read pointer interrupt timing" (unlike the Photon Q panel driver, which worked fine as it was - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../drivers/video/msm/mipi_mot_cmd_auo_qhd_430.c ).

I've already pushed and merged:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/60645

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/60646

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/60647

So this issue will be fixed in the following CM11 nightlies.

How to make tap and pay work on CM 11? or if even possible?

I have set up everything correctly, the app states my phone is capable and ready for tap and pay. I thought with the new host card emulation we would be able to use NFC payments no problem.

I have no clue what could be blocking me, I have no verizon firmware on this phone whatsoever!

im using a rooted, bootloader unlocked, gsm unlocked razr M on t-mobile running latest CM 11 nightly.

I have updated the wallet app to the latest version, 3/13/14 and i am still unable to purchase anything via tap and pay.

Tried it at several locations and nothing happens when I tap my phone. nothing!

I am so frustrated, anybody know if this is even possible or we Razr m users are out of luck?
[Droid RAZR M General] dman9691:
Solution to getting tap and pay to work!!

i have finally found the problem. so basically our phones have the capability for TnP to work. The only issue is drivers and support.

As of now TnP only works with Broadcom NFC chipsets and nothing else, so even if your phone has NFC, TnP will not work unless it is a Broadcom controller chipset. Our razr phones have NXP NFC chipsets which as of right now are not supported by the google wallet app (google's fault) so Host Card Emulation (HCE) support in kitkat is missing from AOSP roms

this has absolutely nothing to do with the secure element anymore at all in 4.4.2. Google went the HCE specifically so the likes of verizon couldn't block the TnP function.

TL;DR

We will get it, it is only a matter of time. either direct from wallet app support for our NXP chipset or from our wonderful dev community. Currently the code for NXP's NFC chips is empty for the host card emulation to work.

some active work being done if you can help the movement (sorry I can't post links yet)

Headset

Hi guys,

I've found an issue with the headset button behaviour in cm11 nightlies with an Australian xt905. I've tried two different headsets with a single button, some old Samsung galaxy ones and a-JAYS One+. In the stock rom, the button pauses playing music with a single click, and skips songs with a double click etc, and this is customisable with certain apps.

But after flashing cm11 the headset button click is recognised differently, almost like pressing an 'enter key' on a keyboard (for example on the app drawer, double clicking the headset button selects and launches the top left app).

Any thoughts or suggestions?
[Droid RAZR M General] XIAOSpider:
So...flashing the CM11 requires a unlocked bootloader?
[Droid RAZR M General] AndyYan:
Yeah. At least for now.

You might wanna wait for official 4.4 to come out, after which someone might be able to make a build compatible with locked bootloader.

hell guys how can i make an image of my mobile ROm with all the software I have installed so next time I just need to flash again the image I backed up....something like Ghost for PC....do u know anysoftware...better freeware?

thanks a lot

a hope this topic can be hepful for some other newbie

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Genesis3:
Yes.

You need:

1. SD card (128MB is big enough)

2. Terminal program that can speak through the USB port

3. A CID-unlocked device

Boot to the loader (hold CAMERA while powering on) - the "three color screen". Plug in the phone and kill the wcescomm.exe process on XP (this is the ActiveSync USB driver process)

Start your terminal program and hit return. You should get a command prompt.

Type: "r2sd all"

The phone will dump the enitre ROM, including the extended ROM, to the SD card.

When done it will tell you. Remove hte card and store somewhere safe.

To restore, insert card, hold the CAMERA key and turn the power on. There will be a brief prompt telling you to press the VOICE key if you wish to restore from the SD card. Press the VOICE key.

The phone will restore.

This will work even if you brick it, so long as you can get to the tri-color screen.

Note that it appears NOT to back up the SPL - I just used this to return to the T-Mobile ROM from the new I-Mate one, and EVERYTHING restored EXCEPT for the SPL, which remains at the former level. Not quite sure why..... it should have dumped it all, but that's missing.

However, the restore appears to be fine and it both loaded and went thorugh customization without incident.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Giordano:
great it's very easy actually...but I didnt get it what u mean for terminal program....is there any detail :)

thanks so much in any case
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Genesis3:
An ASCII terminal program that can talk out the USB port.

Terraterm (there's a patch for it) is one option; there are several others as well. Basically you need to be able to open an ASCII terminal connection to the USB port on the device.

SPL`

What is the SPL?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Genesis3:
There are two little pieces of code that start up the phone. "IPL" or Initial Program Load" and "SPL" or "System (or software) Program Load"

For reasons I don't quite understand the SPL does not get restored reliably off a SD restore. It doesn't hurt anything, but it does leave you with a changed version number on the splash screen.
