Uh, "De-Crapify" is actually a free program to rid a PC of unwanted trial versions, ads, online services, and other annoying junk that comes with a new PC. It is actually pretty good, I have used it many times. Google for it and you will find it. The name is also for an Xposed module to remove ad links from youtube. I have and use it.

As far as installing what you believe to be your new, fallback, stock rom on your stock slot, it is not hard. There is even an XDA guide for it here, use version 3.72 of Safe Strap to do it:

The answer to your question lies here, go read it.

AsiaRetail: had specific setcodes for HK and Taiwan Operators

PSHAsiaRetail: global release for Southeast Asia Retail

The only real difference between XT910 and XT912 is the radio used in the device. In the US, we are governed by the FCC, which sets standards for all types of radio emissions. So, no matter where you go, the same phone can be used, just change carriers if you like. Overseas, there is no FCC to govern radio transmission so each country is free to use the radio spectrum as they see fit, and one thing for sure, they do not all see eye to eye on this issue and the frequencies and equipment needed to operate it can vary greatly. So the XT910 has a radio for overseas frequencies while the XT912 is setup for the USA.

Oh good to know. I saw that it was in quotation marks and thought it was a word you made up. I shall try it, my computer is used by little babies and they sometimes download crap that is malicious. Thank you, again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
LOL! No, I didn't make it up, although, it is the type of thing I would say in exasperation. It is not perfect, but it helps. I just "restored to factory" a beat up laptop that I want to give my mom for a home PC. Hinges, keyboard, and battery have taken a beating, but it is a high power, large screen HP laptop and with external keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speaker, it would be perfect for mom. Once I did the factory restore, THAT is where De-Crapifier would shine it's best. All of these online service ads, anything you click means "get out your wallet for this trial-ware", etc. Disgusting. I spent quite a bit of time uninstalling stuff and that is what De-Crapifier is for. That and to help rid you of some of the nasties along the way. If you are unsure what your PC picked up with kids using it, by all means download and run Malware Bytes and download the Free version right now! Run a full scan and see the results when finished. The only bad thing about the Free version is you must run it manually (No scheduling) and you must check each box in the results window you want removed. That process can be tedious when the results are far above 100.

An easier way to check them is to highlight the first item, press space bar to check it, arrow down once, space bar to check, arrow down once, space bar to check it, arrow....

...until all checked. If you did this with a mouse your arm would fall off. Also make sure it did not flag anything you want to keep such as a crack to make a program run, ANY keymaker or keygen will get flagged, so don't remove things like that you want to keep. "Assuming your client wanted to keep such things".

That is a "must have" in any PC guy's toolbox, the free version you can run over and over and on as many computers as you like. It always downloads a fresh virus definition so you are always up to date. Hitman Pro is also a very heavy hitter but for free, you can only use it once. Great for getting that FBI Screen locker gone. Many of my clients like it so much they pay for it. One of my friends bought it, received 3 keys for 3 computers, and gave me one of them. How is THAT for a good internet friend that I have never even met? A now retired police captain.

Have fun. And if you do install any late builds, please tell us how it went, what method you used, and MOST important, how it is holding up after a day or two. Thanks. :cool:

Old Newbie

Hello to all!

I have been following [ROM][4.4.2][CDMA/GSM] Official CM11 (M6 Snapshot Available) from it's beginning. Testing nightly builds and reading everyone's comments.

I have been talking with Ohmster via email and PM and he suggested I post here to meet my 10 post minimum in order to participate in the developer thread.

After the recent fix of the Bluetooth voice prompts, I have been using CM11 as a daily driver, I am on it most of the day for work and use the Razr desktop dock which keeps it charged and eliminates the poor battery life inherent to the Razr XT912 (not MAXX).

I am on 5/17 nightly and am very pleased with the network signal strength fix, have not experienced any APN errors, and Bluetooth function is nearly perfect.

One problem I am noticing, attempting to begin a google now Bluetooth voice command while the screen is off causes a problem. It will either not respond or it activates a different voice prompt screen that does not work well. I have disabled "voice dialer" and removed "Utter" (a beta voice dialer app) in attempt to reveal the problem. My lock screen is disabled.

I have attached a screen shot in hopes to shed light on the problem. Once the screen is on, google now functions as expected and I enjoy high accuracy when asking the program to dial a person in my contact list.

Any thoughts?

Thanks to all for the intense development work and testing done so far!

Bluetooth - phone contacts

Thank you Jake, after I wrote that post another, more important issue (to me) arose.

At work I use a PC texting application (Mightytext) to communicate with many of my clients. My stock XT912 rom has worked with this program for the last year or so. When using CM11 the application is unable to "see" or upload my phone contacts to the web app as it does with the stock rom. This is not good as it does not label the incoming message with the person's name... just a phone number.

Thinking it was a problem with Mightytext, I tried other web based PC text apps that I have used in the past. Mysms and the Verizon Messaging apps have exactly the same issue. I reboot to stock and they function as intended.

Any ideas what is causing the CM11 build (5/17 nightly) to confuse these web apps from reading my phone contacts?

I use an [MENTION=5030872]Live.[/MENTION]com email account added as corporate for my contact backup and sync with outlook. This works perfectly with CM11.

Thanks for the welcome!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Kit Kat which CM 11 is based on changed a lot of the permission system over Jelly bean which the stock system runs. Its possible those apps are not compatible with kit Kat as I have run into issues with other apps for the same reason. I would contact the app developer and ask about kit Kat compatibility.

OOh that is a possiblility I hadn't thought of... I will do just that!

Thank you sir!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Craig Miles:
Well Ohmster, what is next? Television commercials? Super Bowl halftime shows? :) Seriously though, you spend a great deal of your personal time keeping up the momentum and spirits for the developers and contributors on these forums, it's rewarding to be "officially" recognized occasionally.

Thanks for the reference and we will see you in the devs room soon!

:Regarding the PC texting issue a few posts above: I sent a message to the support dept at Mightytext to see if there are any known issues with KitKat and their application. I will share the results.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Ohmster I wouldn't worry too much about your help effecting my ascension. I would think that cooperation and community involvement can only help my chances. Plus I am creeping up on my reapplication date of Sept and will need all the help I can get. I see no issue with us working together and with your contributions, knowledge and dedication to helping people here I see no reason not to add you to the thread.

"Only good things. Will happen"

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hmmmm. True, Kit Kat changed ALL the rules and like Jake said, not everyone is up to speed on it. And, some big players, like Verizon, might not find it in their best corporate interests (Bottom line thing.) to cooperate so eagerly, at least until it becomes inevitable and they adopt Kit Kat themselves. I do not have "the answer" but can give you 2 good suggestions.

Contact the app or program developer or company tech assist and make them aware of the issue and ask them for help. They want and need their app to survive Kit Kat so they should take your request seriously.

See if the program (You may have to ask the developer this too.) can accept a contacts import file like csv. Export your contancts in Gmail/Conacts as a csv file and then import it to the app. Almost ALL email programs allow and do this, it is high time texting apps adopt the same principal. A good texting app should have an import function and if it is lacking, ask the developer or company tech line for help with this.

Actually, I have wanted to be able to send text messages from my PC for years, but without a "phone number", I didn't think you could unless you sign up for a subscription to some message company to do it. And I, for one, have *way* more bills than I can handle. I do not need another one for subscription text messages from PC. Interesting that you found a program that works with your phone to send text messages, I will look into it. But, the idea of not needing a phone to send text is the Holy Grail. Like if I loan my girlfriend my phone for the night, I would like to be able to text her and since she has my phone, how could I do it then?

If all the texting apps are failing under Kit Kat to import contacts, they will want to know about this as Kit Kat is here to stay. It is not a CyanogenMod thing, but an entire OS change by Google. Just like software had to adopt to Windows 8, apps and programs will have to adapt to Kit Kat by Google/Android if they wish to survive.

...except that everyone *loves* Kit Kat, nobody I know likes Windows 8 at all, but for children who are happy to get their hands on *any* computer, never mind how it works. LOL! :laugh:

I make money like that. I have about 50 clients and tomorrow one of them, a senior citizen needs a new PC and cannot stand Windows 8. They trust me so I charge $100 to find them a really good, powerful PC with Windows 7 locally, we go buy it, and I finish the setup for them and man are they ever grateful and I get a hundred bucks. Thank you Windows 8 for sucking so much! lol, Lol. LOL! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Craig Miles:
Ohmster

The applications I use require a phone to be "linked" to the application. A semi cheesy work around to sharing a phone and being able to text each other would be for both of you to text yourself (your phone's #). You from the PC app and she from your phone. You would still be able to communicate, but it would appear to an outsider reading the conversation that you suffered split personality disorder and should probably seek professional psychiatric help. :)

These are some of the applications I have used.

Verizon Messaging is free, functional and very reliable.

Mysms is more powerful than Verizon Messaging, but money is required to unlock some of the features.

MightyText is the most functional of all and it is free...

Dude, you have like, "the best attitude ever" seen on the planet. Always. That is decent, man. Hard not to appreciate it, Jake. Yeah, your date is coming up and this thread will succeed. Hmmm, how many pages we got? 27! Hey, that's not bad Jake. Not bad at all! :D I was thinking maybe 11 at best but that surprised even me. Great job buddy. Yeah, the administration will view this as a big accomplishment. And you hiring in help shows leadership. It is a win/win. You always amaze me with things I never thought of and this is another fine example.

You know what? I am really happy about this, but it is late and I have not had a good nights sleep for 2 days. And I have a computer job tomorrow early afternoon and a full size medical website to build. Man, that is like a thousand dollars, I really have to get some rest. Time to put an end to the night, it is 1:30 AM and it is time for a piece of fruit and then "kitty night night" with Sonia Kitty. Take care and goodnight, Jake! :good:

OMG, that is "too funny", man! Even I learned something from this, thanks for the heads up dude.

I really like to play around with weird stuff and this will do nicely for lack of anything else important, other than some jobs to do for certain people who value my skills and trust no one else. Speaking of which, one of these jobs is early tomorrow. Sonia Kitty is already here, announcing it is time for us to do "kitty night night in the BED!" I concur. Night all, thanks for the education, Craig. ........zzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

CM11: 5/18

Does anyone know why there is a toast notification that keeps saying "No APN specified on this device."? Very annoying and won't go away until reboot but then comes back. Is anyone else having this issueannoyance?e
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
I have heard it reported but never received it. My recommendation go into system settings/mobile networks/access point names. Then hit the menu key or tap three dots at the top right (does same thing) and click reset to default. After that reboot. This will default the apns and hopefully fix that error for you. Try and report back.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I tell you what, I have been plagued for the past 4 days with "orange bars from hell", updating each night OTA, praying the orange bars will just "STOP" or at least, mellow out a while. Finally in desperation, I did just that, hoping it might clear out some "sticky orange bars" from 07/17. Rebooted, no orange but came back within a minute. Toggled airplane and orange bars were gone! Took a drive, 5 miles out and back, some signal loss, no orange. Brief period of orange when I got near home but cleared up in a minute. Oh, it is "Heaven" so see normal icons again. Of course when I get normal icons after all that, 10 or 20 app updates that have been stacking up come flooding down.

I give genuine merit to Emil's fix. Apparently it does more than reset the APN. Good call, Emil! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Craig Miles:
Emil says "temporarily"... I'm confident Ohmster will report in on how long the fix lasts, or if perhaps it is permanent?

On a little different note, I made some progress regarding why my contacts would not sync with the PC to texting applications I was talking about the other day.

I contacted the support dept of MightyText, they suggested I try the routine fixes that are mentioned on their site, which I had already tried. Then they said this:

"The update to kitkat may have included new logic for storing contact names.

We can try removing all contact names and syncing a fresh list to be sure

we are searching the correct database."

After that didn't work, I imported my contact list into Gmail. I usually never use gmail to store or sync my contacts due to the headaches I have suffered with contact database conflicts. I use my [MENTION=5030872]Live.[/MENTION]com email account to manage and sync contacts with Outlook 2013.

After my contacts were syncing with google in gmail, MightyText was able to see the contacts on my phone....This is what they said.

"ok great. That appears to add them to the local database on your phone?

Thanks for the information."

So now through using google to sync contacts the program is more functional. But, the picture mms functionality is broken. I have found sending a mms pic from the phone works, but the PC app will not send one. The PC will show the pic that is sent from the phone but is unable to send one. Ahhhh the fun...

Are we still experiencing mms issues?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Browser Synch with Google Account

I just explained how you can keep your contacts, calendar, and many other things Google with your android device and your Google services like mail, contacts, bookmarks, or anything Google. This is a great way to keep this stuff forever, not on one computer or provider. Google is for life.

Google sync works to sync browser information to it's own browser, Chrome. I do not particularly like Chrome for Android and love Dolphine Browser the best for Android. It turns out, you can have your favorite browser data synched to your phone through browser plugins.

Currently Dolphin Connect is available for the following browsers:

Chrome

Firefox

Safari

I use Firefox and use the Dolphin Connect addon for Firefox to keep my synched with Google. It works! I just signed in with Google through Dolphin by visiting the Dolphin Support page, then choosing "How do I set up Dolphin Connect?"

It was pretty easy to do, I checked my Bookmarks in Dolphin but did not see much of my Home Firefox bookmarks. It takes some time to sync these items. But there is a sync now button, top left in bookmarks that when tapped, pulled in all of my Firefox bookmarks. Now this is NICE.

I wanted to share in case this will help others. G'night guys! :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Craig Miles:
Well... I agree Google is very effective at syncing with itself, as I used it for several years, and most users would want to use google to sync all aspects of their data.

I do not. I rely on the Microsoft Office suite for many of my duties at work. Attempting to sync a google calendar and Microsoft Outlook calendar on the same pc causes a mess of duplicate entries and has caused me many "do overs" with MS Outlook.

Gmail will not sync contacts natively with MS Outlook (at least it didn't a couple of years ago). As Ohmster noted, it is painful to try to manage contacts (create new or editing) on a tiny phone screen. I have messed with and even purchased programs designed to sync gmail contacts with Outlook. Many work to some degree, but when MS implemented a change with their Hotmail and Live accounts, adding MS Exchange type of data sync, I no longer needed to try to use third party programs to sync my android contacts with Outlook.

My heavy dependence on MS Outlook caused me to find non-google solutions to manage my calendar, contacts and tasks. My [MENTION=5030872]Live.[/MENTION]com email account does this flawlessly, and has so for many years. My live account keeps a permanent, constantly current, and two way synced contact database, along with my calendar and tasks. It just lives in a MS database rather than Google.

I have not experienced any problems with my phone contacts becoming "invisible" to a web based application until I began actively testing the spyder Kitkat rom.

Hopefully this is just another small bump in the road, and will be smoothed out as the rom matures.

Sorry for the long explanation, but I wanted to clarify why I don't use google to sync all of my data.

Thanks for the input!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Craig Miles:
Wow, I had never heard of Bill Gates perusing his customers Onedrive files over his morning coffee and closing accounts with pictures containing boob shots! Big Daddy is watching...

Something in a Onedrive privacy statement caused me not store any software on Onedrive that is, uh hem... perhaps less than legitimate... That appears to have been a wise decision.

I have had a google account since I bought my original Droid, the little one with the slide out keyboard :) I agree google is a very effective service for syncing services.

Sorry you have had such a negative experience (along with hundreds of thousands of others) with Win 8.. I am an early adopter with all new MS operating systems. I agree the original Win 8 kind of blew, pertaining to the horrible split personality of the "metro" and "non-metro" interfaces slamming you back and forth between screens. MS has essentially fixed that with the last 8.1 updates. Allowing the taskbar to be accessed from the start screen, and minimizing metro apps to the taskbar instead of hiding them in a secret bar on the side of the screen.

You also don't need to know the secret handshake to close metro apps any longer due to the implementation of legacy minimize and close buttons at the top right of metro applications.

The speed and stability of Win 8.1, along with the ease of cloud backup, and integrated virus protection (although one should always have Malwarebytes and Superantispyware close at hand) has made it a winner for me!

Thanks Ohmster, I will remember to use my google drive to store my pool party pics!!

Deleted and recreated rom slot 1

Installed 5-23 nightly- wiped cache and dalvik

Installed pa gapps modular micro 4.42 29149524-signed -wiped cache and dalvik

Network signal appears to fluctuate less than older may builds, more consistently full signal strength. Have not seen orange bars reappear after boot is complete. Have noticed signal dipping down to 1 bar in locations where stock rom has always been full, signal returns to full a few minutes later.

receiving mms is approx. 2 minutes slower than my wife's droid M with Kitkat. The droid M is instant.

On receiving a mms the "no apn" message appeared. Reset network apn to default, reboot, tested receiving mms, did not see error. Will watch for reoccurrence.

Bluetooth interaction with headset and vehicle much more stable. Connecting quickly, not dropping and reconnecting.

Phone doesn't appear to be as hot to the touch after heavy use as previous builds.

Overall build feels slightly sluggish compared to April builds, not unbearable but just a little hesitant switching between screens.

Installed CPU no frills Control, adaway, go sms pro, Dock' n Drive.
