Also if you haven't already disable the scanning always available setting in WiFi settings. It really doesn't help much and it drains battery really badly.

The battery in jbx for me is still really bad I am waiting for dtrail to fix it a little more. The I will retest

I have the CyanDelta app which shows me change log for new CM 11 nightlies. I cant make heads or tails out of the changes. Im on 3/29 and was wondering if periodically updating to the newest version is generally a good idea.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
you can always look at the official updater in settings. It will be easier to understand maybe. Then you can look at the change log website.

I'm running slim kat ROM cm11 based in my xt 912 droid RAZR cdma I'm living in India .. Using gsm sim on it .. But only calls working no data or SMS .. Also weak signal getting.. Is there is any fix for this ...??? Cm11 based
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
Jake were you able to get 4/4 and 4/4 jbx to work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Sadly no. Gave up on JBX and just flashed the 4-4 nightly on its on and it works fine now.

Hey Jake!

I am still on 03/30 because it runs good and never has any problems. I just learned from official thread to turn on nav bar w/gravity box and turn on the keyboard cursor arrows,. Sweet! But, I don't want my phone to "get old" nor can I experiment with different roms to try and find a good one. Do you or anybody else know of some "good builds" recently that run good? Late April that you have run for at least a couple of days with no issues?

Thanks guys. News like this we all really need and appreciate bad.

Ran 4/4 until this afternoon, on 4/7 now , no issues. It does NOT appear to like JBX, Jake and I both had the same issue. 4/4 wqs well behaved on the CM kernel

CM11 4/3 build, no jbx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Three and a half days on one battery?!! Holy Cow! Uh, how did you do that or did you just "get lucky"? :confused:

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Okay, you get thanks just because you answered. But give up a little more, huh? You wipe the slot totally off and installed it clean from scratch with gapps, or just flash over what you had? How much run time do you have on it (days) and did you have *any* problems at all? ...any? ...at all?

Because this is a snapshot build, your answer is *very* important here. Details! Not crazy long details, just tell what I asked or anything significant.

Tell us this and earn your thanks. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonomazr2:
Must be lucky. I've always had great battery life with this RAZR MAXX, but not this good. No tweeks. Not sure what build was the initial flash, but the current is a cyandelta update. Maybe 4 builds previous was the initial.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
YOU get a Thanks. I asked a rather important question and your replied. Good man! 04/04 ran good, no problems at all, until today? Did you OTA update from Settings/About Phone or flash over what you had? Or did you wipe the crap out of the slot or totally delete/recreate and go clean, from scratch? For each rom? 04/07 is too new to know if it will go days, but it is important you report good details, we depend on this information.

JBX is not important, other than if you did install it, works ok or not. CM11 is still too new, unstable, for me to use custom kernels. I actually *need* a dependable, working phone too much to experiment with custom kernels on a nightly build. JBX is really a good kernel, but the issue here is cm11 and stability, issues, or which are "good builds" and what ones to avoid. I am speaking for myself but I do believe that most of the people are in the same boat. What are good builds and what ones to avoid. I always report on new roms to contribute back. I don't update anymore until I get clear reports that a particular rom is trouble free and good. Cannot have the phone go out when doctors or business may come in that I depend on. So your accurate reports are *very* much appreciated.

Tell a little more if you can. Not pages, just what I asked or anything significant. Thank you Emil. Hey, that video chat test we ran on Hangouts was freaking awesome, dude! I just cannot believe how clear, clean, easy, and fluid it works. WAY better than Skype! Probably because it is practically "built in" by Google. Same way that Microsoft Office works so good on Windows and nothing else can rival it. Microsoft has the inside code for Windows so of course Office works so good, they will not release the source code to anyone else. Probably the same deal for Google Hangouts. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, you are lucky alright. I do not use Cyandelta, I think it is an update service for the rom. Can you give me a screenshot with power key of your Settings/About Phone screen like mine so I can see the build date? That is how we identify good builds, by the date such as the one you see below, 03/30. I want to see which build date you are using to get such great battery life. That may not be true for all phones, but it does identify which build is currently giving you these results. Initial build flash doesn't matter so much as each update wipes the phone prior to installing the new system, leaving your data and apps alone. It DOES matter, however, if you got a bad build with problems that never went away since installing it though. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crackerjack1957:
Was running CM11 3/29 with clean install, would fc every few days so decided to try newer version. Just so happen M5 (4/05) snapshot was out that day. Downloaded & installed thru OTA Settings with no wipes whatsoever. So far no issues, running smooth & snappy.

No JBX install, want a good rom before I try anything else.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonomazr2:
Cyandelta doesn't do wipes, it only downloads the difference between what is currently flashed and the new zip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
WOW! I give you thanks and if we were back in school, you would get TWO gold stars to stick on your shirt for the day! THIS is significant, very useful information! See, I am very happy on 03/30. So good I have my SS backups and am NOT budging until I get a confirmed, how done, update on a recent build. And you came through, CJ! This is a snapshot, the past snapshots would not work worth a damn unless you wiped the slot off the phone, put it back, and installed the build and gapps from scratch. You did this with OTA, my favorite way to go, and got very good results. OTA is awesome. CM put it there for us and made darned sure it wiped, cleaned, and updated w/out hosing your settings and they got it right. We never have to go through all that clean/wipe/USB cable/ODIN/ADB/Motorola Drivers stuff, ever again, if we don't have to and man, that means a LOT.

You gave me what I was looking for, and anyone else who wants and needs to know. There will be many. I hope they give you thanks for it. Now if you will excuse me, I have some updating to do. Hmmm, 68% battery, I can do this. Thanks, outta here! :good:

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

That's right. I have it bookmarked for possible future use. It is a good concept and makes sense. But since CM put such a good effort into the OTA updates, I really want to give them the chance to shine and shine they do. CrackerJack just did M5 OTA and has nothing but solid praise for it. Thanks for the heads up, I remember now reading it, you are right my friend! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Alpendorf1:
Hey guys, do I have to do a factory reset when I update my CM 11 nightlies?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Not at all, dude. If you did it right the first time, by installing once with a good build, clean, by wiping the rom slot or deleting and recreating it, flashed cm11 and gapps only, you are on solid ground. Just go into Settings/About Phone/Cyanogen Updates, and see what you got. Tap the circle arrows to get a fresh look and go for it. Make sure you are set for New Versions (Incl. nighlies). See screenshot. I just downloaded the M5 Snapshot by tapping the down arrow, you can see it is now "Downloaded" and instead of a down arrow, I have an arrow and a door icon. I will now tap that to update to the new Snapshot build, which CrackerJack just reported is very good and he installed his this way.

CyanogenMod did a very nice thing for us to make updating very easy to do with OTA (Over The Air) updates, just like Motorola did for us with the initial phones we bought. If you are going to experiment with custom kernels like JBX (NOT a good idea right now.), then you would have to do it manually in Safe Strap, wipe data and dalvik, flash cm11, flash gapps (Or both at the same time) and then wipe dalvik and cach ONLY. Reboot.

But you really do not have to do that, the OTA updates really work good.

NOTE:

If you are using any Xposed Modules (They are *very* cool!), the framework will have to be installed again once you boot up. Easy to do, just tap Xposed Installer, Framework, and tap the install button again, then reboot when asked. Your modules will all be back working again.

There is a screenshot for you to see, find it on your phone and do your update. Good luck! :good:

M5 Report

I just did the M5 update, OTA as per CrackerJack's method. All is very good but it was an unusual update, "way too fast" and that surprised me. But all seems good. I gave a full report in the official thread if you want the details.

This looks really good, thanks for the help, CJ! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
Just grabbed the OTA and went from 4/4/to 4/7, Spent some time last night trying top break 4/7 and its still solid, I'm running a battery test on it now, I Start with a fresh boot fully charged with the same set of app's loaded, in same location, same orientation let it run for and extended period, (6 hours) and I will launch a few app's (always the same and for the ~same amount of time) and see how the battery holds up. Not a 100% accurate but it gives me an idea.

emil
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonomazr2:
I have tried the OTA since last night but it won't download. Am also getting a 502 Bad Gateway error on the pc from download.cyanagenmod.org, so maybe the errors are all tied together.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cigator:
I just had a weird glitch, and was wondering if anyone has seen this. I'm on CM 11 with JBX. My phone froze and I rebooted. When it got to the Cyanogen load screen the animation was shaking and glitching from side to side. Never saw that before. I held power button and up volume and it when through the reboot properly. Any clue what could cause that? Do you think that indicates some sort of hardware problem? Anything I need to do? Maybe reflash CM 11? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
This is similar to what I experienced with 4/4 and 4/4jbx I deleted and recreated the slot and restored my non jbx backup, 4/4 ran well, I updated to 4/7 yesterday
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hah, you messed up the quote. I do that all the time and it is a stupid thing, but bugs me and I correct it. I cannot type in the BBS Code here or it will be taken literally by the BBS engine, but leave the first named quote of the person responding and make sure you have another quote at the end with a / before the word quote. No biggie.

Yeah, your phone is packed like mine so we have similar usage patterns. Now for calls, I generally use less than 2 hours a day, often much less, occasionally more but then might go looking for a charger by sunset. There is no doubt, once you experience Kit Kat, there is no going back to JB. I have to pay attention to your reports because we are very similar in model and load. I report all new installs, how done (OTA, clean, etc.), how it went, any bugs upon reboot, and issues found or lack of them. Then give a 2nd report if I notice issues in the few days to follow.

Excellent reporting, Emil. This is the kind of stuff that will get you noticed. It is what Jake does but of course on a much smaller scale. Stuff like "I installed 04/05 days ago, woot!" really tell us nothing and are a tad irritating. God man, give us some details, a report, good, bad, problems, anything, *something*?

Thanks buddy. I just reverted back to 03/30, the snapshot was no improvement, the nightlies are more advanced but picking a good one to install depends on good reporting. You are an engineer, you, more than anyone knows the value of details and are now doing an excellent job of reporting. Thanks to you, I may now try out an April build, probably 04/07 and am looking forward to it. I have a darned good backup of what is good and delete older, less needed backups to make room for a new one. Goodnight! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
Into the abyss....... installing it now!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You already cleared 04/07 with an excellent install and detailed report and now you are doing 04/09? Wow, I am really looking forward to the report tomorrow! I don't know if it will be all good but I am sure you will let us know, good job Emil!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
I was on a boring telecon and needed something to do! The phone was sitting there.......... So far so good!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Shaun, I just found your new thread, congratulations! In honour of your achievements, I'd like to ask you about an issue I've had with all KK ROMs...

To make a long story short, if you have a Bluetooth earpiece, tap the call button so that either Google search or voice dialer pops up to handle your request; alternately, you can just tap the microphone in the Google search bar with your Bluetooth on. The voice prompt through your earpiece has to be heard to be believed! ROMs through 4.3 behave properly, but I haven't found any 4.4 ROMs that work. All other text to speech through Bluetooth seem to work OK and the voice recognition is right on, just the spoken prompts are broken!

Voice dialing while driving is virtually a must-have these days.

I don't know if this is related to making an OMAP4 compatible version of Kitkat, nor if it would be in the Bluetooth routines, but something seems to be corrupted in the Bluetooth prompts. Experimentation seems to show that anything coming over the media audio channel is OK (I have an A2DP earphone), but generated speech over the phone audio channel sounds like signals from "out there".

Any thoughts or answers would be appreciated, this is THE big bug in cm11 for me!

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
WOW! Is that bizarre!

Yeah I am just sitting here, watching Les Stroud on TV in PC, and was checking the board, saw this remarkable notice, and had to try it out. I have a very good Bluetooth Headset right here on the desk. I never use it for voice prompts, only to talk on the phone so I did tap the Google search bar mic. Man when that phone "attempted to talk", it was like something out of Paranormal Activity! I really expected garbled speech but this was like Twilight Zone, man.

Ah yep, you discovered a big one, alright. That is something that is perfectly "not useful in any possible way" other than to frighten someone on a scary night.

Totally Confirmed! :eek:

Update:

This is a particularly unusual bug that I reported it to Stargo in an email with links to your post, brkahughes, of the notification. Although he does talk a bit over my head at times, I do have a technical background and understand most of it. He did state that he is having a real headache now with the Android Droid Audio Hardware Abstraction Layer because Android is an open source project by Google. Meaning anyone can download the source code to view, modify, improve, and share with others, but Motorola has taken this code specific to the OMAP4-devices (Droid 4, Droid Razr (Maxx) and Droid Bionic), modified it for their use, and has only released the binary files, NOT the source code needed by developers to work on this portion of the Droid code for Kit Kat. Source Code looks like this. Without source code, he would have to "Reverse Engineer" the entire Audio HAL code to work on it. A task that could take ages for a team.

Stargo may or may not know of this issue, but he will now. If/when I get a reply on it, I will let you know. Although I cannot make an official bug report, it has been forwarded to the person who needs to know. Thank you for the diligent reporting.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
BTW: that voice prompt problem includes any of the "assistant" apps that respond to Bluetooth. But then, they all rely on the Google TTS engine being routed through the phone audio channel too.

Okay I got and HDMI cable coming from Amazon but so far, only the 64 Gb SD Card came. Man, putting the entire 16 Gb card onto the new 64 Gb card will be a headache. I wish there was Ghost for SD Cards or something like it.

You OTA or clean? This should be a good build, when you say so far, so good, I take that to mean you haven't found anything broken yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Dwillian states that 04/07 was good. But 04/09 worse battery and slower phone. I was for sure going for the 07, but the 09 seemed promising, until today.

03/30 is really good, I like it a lot. But have to move on. Maybe that 04/07 will be my next stop. M5 was a total bust.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mr-Glass:
I have used HDD Raw Copy tool to ghost/clone a microsd card in the past, I think I may have had to use PartitionWizard to expand out the card after the copy was complete, because it was showing the same capacity as the smaller card it was cloned from.. It is more of a clone than a ghost, as it does not produce an image... So be careful if you use the tool it will wipe out what it is pointed at.. I used a usb card reader and the sdcard slot on my laptop to accomplish this.. so I was sure of my source and target...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Stargo is aware of it and almost had it before bed. Turns out to be within a binary from Motorola, no source code available for it. Said it was a sampling rate discrepancy, which makes sense. Not sure when it will get fixed.

Update:

This post drastically cut way back to reduce space and reading time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
I'm having random FC, high battery consumption and general sluggishness with 4/9 My install was dirty and that may be the issue

. In the short term I'm going back to 4/7. If i have another boring telecon, I'll do a clean install with 4/10 or 11
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonomazr2:
The only problem I have had with 4/9 is noticeable sluggishness. Will wait for next nightly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I think you are right and it is a bad one. Not like "horrible bad", just worse than 07. Battery issues, sluggish, you have FCs. I am not sure that clean would do it but it would be interesting to find out. You know, that build was pumped with a slew of new OMAP4 code. Everybody excited, but I have "been around" and when that much new, foreign stuff gets added to a new build, it is the new baby to troubleshoot and bug report to get that new OMAP4 code buckled down.

I am not saying it is terrible or a step backwards. It is a BIG step forwards. Which means we will have to back step a bit to find all the bits and pieces that need to go here and there, and take this and that out, recode, and try again. Since 04/07 is reported stable, that is for me. I need a stable everyday phone. For those that can spare it, like you or Jake, it is "fresh meat". I just need a sandwich and a soda for now. ;)

Thanks Emil. You are doing very good work! :good:

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

...really! This is what I was hoping to find out. Didn't know if there was any sort of "Drive Image" or Acronis Migrate Easy for this. Yeah, I need to find a cheap USB SD Card Reader. Using the phone and cable would take "forever" to do this, I need a slot or card reader. Well thank you again, Mr. Glass. It sure is fun having you around. ;)

UPDATE:

The card migration from 16Gb to 64Gb went extremely well. Mini How-To Guide posted about it here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh my, I am sorry to hear that Mr. Glass. Mine went

so well

. I do not have any slots for cards on my PC so I spent the ten bucks for the Vivitar Micro SD Card Reader/Writer. A fancy way of saying "empty flash drive" with a hole to shove the SD Card in it, nothing but a plastic holder. Raw Copy tool

does have a write to image

feature. I only had one slot so I could only do one card at a time. Click Source in your drive list, then File as destination and browse for where you want to put it. You can save img or compressed imgc format. Once I had the image, I took out the card and use the same software in reverse to "write the file to disk" or SD Card in this case.

Yep, you are right, the new drive was now only 16Gb an not 64Gb anymore. Partition Wizard Home took care of that by letting me "Pull the right hand side of the partition all the way across" the empty card space. Once setting was "Applied", the card was now a true 64Gb card again with all of my stuff on it. As a bonus, I can save the image for a while.

So you were able to copy "on the fly" with two slots? That's fast and neat. I could not do it with one card reader. And yeah I was nervous in Raw Copy tool because ALL your hard drives are there and if you click the wrong one by accident, it WILL wipe out your C drive or wherever you point it. But it is free and it really does work good. I really have been looking for something like this and to find it free? Wow! Thanks! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mr-Glass:
After a double read of my post..lol - I was not too clear, kinda unorganized thoughts.. I did not have any problems at all - just the way I was using the tool direct from 1 to 1 makes you pause for a triple check.. :) That tool has been a life saver for a lot of things with the sector by sector copy.. oh yeah and free is always good... especially for a powerful tool.. Have a good one.. edit.. I have the built in card reader on the laptop and I also have a multi card reader that has everything from microsd to CF plugged into a USB 3.0 port - so it flies along..

Theme Engine by CM

I might not have looked hard enough, but I have looked petty hard to figure out how to get the CM Theme Engine working instead of the T-Mobile one. I uninstalled the T-Mobile one because I saw it the review that TMO chooser has priority. That did enable the theme engine but it doesn't work (when you select and option in it, it force stops.) Is there a specific way you need to do this?
