And there's a fresh BlissPop official build, too. Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place :crying:

Which one would you say is more responsive, from your experience with both? I've only used BlissPop, because I've had trouble booting CM12 before...

Also, the isses I have with Lollipop roms as of now are - I cannot switch the network mode to 2G only and I have no idea how the automatic screen brigthness works on this thing. Although the second one is not that much of an issue, since I then keep it rather low all the time and completely down in the evening, and it feels like that's helping my battery life stretch out a bit. Not sure if that was the idea behind that... When it does change brightness automatically it's terribly stattery, utterly unsmooth. Huh.

And thanks for the build, mate! It's downloading, but I'm just not sure which of the two to flash :rolleyes:
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Never tried BlissPop so I can't speak to it. CM12, both DHacker and my build, run the same in my opinion. I've done nothing to optimize the build yet, just building using default compiler settings & toolchains.

As for 2G, the only advice I can give is the *#*#4636#*#* menu.

I haven't messed with the brightness, it does alter the brightness based on lighting (so I assume it's on) but I don't get any stuttering/lag that I've noticed.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
FYI - I merged [MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION]'s CM11 patch for Whatsapp into my CM12 build. Next build will contain the fix. Those who use it and my build, please report if it works out for you. Thanks. Make sure to thank [MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION] in the CM11 thread for his investigation and subsequent fix of this issue, he does the real magic, I just merge things like a monkey.

EDIT: Just noticed he cherry picked it to CM12
[RAZR HD Android Development] three west:
Yeah, disable was checked (must have been by default) so I unchecked and haven't seen a flicker since.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Mikerhinos:
Copying to sd-card :good:

Does it require a clean install when coming from Blisspop or can I flash it on top ?

Edit : did a clean install :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] SCFirefighter:
Uh, I completely borked my phone last night and am restoring my phone this morning (RSDLite FTW, I don't know why so many folks are scared of it).

Quick question: I forgot exactly how to enable f2fs. Can someone post the steps? I'm using Philz.

ETA: Have I become too impatient? How long does the initial boot last? I've been sitting at the CM splash screen for 20 minutes now (Dhacker's 1216)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
20 minutes is too long. F2fs is usually under advanced wipe.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Spidinator:
Longest I have waited is about 20 min and it booted up. The one time it didn't I wiped again, reflashed and it booted the second time.
[RAZR HD Android Development] SCFirefighter:
I am having a really weird issue that irritates the crap out of me. I can't seen to get ANY custom rom loaded. I've never had this issue before. The only rom that will boot up properly is the Verizon FXZ flash session.

Every other rom does not go past the splash screen. I tried Dhacker's 1216, the 1220 floating around here, and Dhackers AOSP 1220 build. None boot up, 20+ minutes. WTF?

What am I missing here? From the successfully flashed Stock rom I do

1) flash my philz recovery

2) boot into phylz

3) Clean to flash new zip (formats /data /system /cache)

4) Install zip

5) install lp-gapps

6) boot

7) stuck

Any help?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
For start try without gapps. Wipe everything except internal and sd card. Somewhere in thread is suggestion to remove something from sd card or internal. I'm on road now to search but you should find easily.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I would backup internal storage and then wipe /data + /data/media (intSD -- Android stores data there too, not sure if it interferes, but I've had weirdness in the past) along with /system and /cache.

F2FS requires that /data and /data/media be formatted as F2FS; PhilZ won't allow you to format only one of them and it's an advanced formatting option but both need to be formatted. I don't know if TWRP lets you do it individually (or if a XT926 allows this).

Going forward, I think I'm going to enable debugging in my builds that I post so people can USB up and get some logcattin' going on so at least we have an idea where things are falling over. I suspect it's repeatedly crashing on a main process (like zygoyte, surfaceflinger, etc).

Just my two bits.

Does not yet include android debugging bridge enabled by default, next build will. The idea being to try and help capture bootloop issues.

Enjoy.
[RAZR HD Android Development] RMarques:
Sounds awesome!

Any news about the network issue being addressed?

I know you guys do program for free and for passion but the fact that it hasnt been fixed yet kinda amaze me! Its a major issue (since you cannot use your cell phone as a phone) and its around since early nov 20ish!

Anyways, great job C, Ill give it a try for sure!

Cheers
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Drop to elevated shell (root) and do: killall -HUP rild

Sometimes on boot my phone won't have radio, this usually fixes it. Although in newer builds (like 12-18+) this seems to be less of an issue for me.
[RAZR HD Android Development] kabaldan:
The qcom hw aac encoder is currently broken in CM12 across the board (at least for the msm8960 A family devices). It's not a Moto specific issue. No difference between xt925 and xt926 in this regard. Samsung, Sony, HTC etc. A family devices need it disabled as well...
[RAZR HD Android Development] cllo:
happen to me too. I have to change the rom that booted to ART first than flash cm12 and than it booted fine.

I now have problem with device chaging very slowly. 2A charger works fine. But computer USB port or 500ma charge take like 8hr for full charge. Any ideas?
[RAZR HD Android Development] SCFirefighter:
Interesting! I'll have to try that next time. Thanks!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Not_A_Dev:
I have formatted /data only via TWRP 2.8.2 on an xt926 before.

[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
How I can record video without problems then? Or I'm missing something?
[RAZR HD Android Development] kabaldan:
When qualcomm's hw aac encoder is not enabled (via qcom.hw.aac.encoder property), google's sw aac encoder is used and you can record videos just fine.
[RAZR HD Android Development] RMarques:
Well...I dont want to keep talking about the same but I just cant lock on to network signal since Nov 20ish!

No matter what 5.0 ROM I try, sometimes it do get network signal lock in the 1st boot for some hours but it just gets vanished for its own and no matter what I do, I just cant get it back! The vast majority of times, since the first boot, it never gets the network signal lock at all! It does recognize the SIM though!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
C/p from my build.prop

qcom.hw.aac.encoder=true
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I think I've discovered something about the signal lock issue reported.

I just would like to know one thing to get a better idea. Those having signal lock issues:

- is it on boot or while running for a while that lock is lost?

- do you have lockscreen security in place or does it just boot to your homescreen (ie; no security)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I don't have lockscreen security and have very rare signal problem. Usually after fresh flash. Power off/on solve it. After that is stable, even with airplane mode off/on, roaming, etc. It was stable for about 8 days of up time.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Hmm I guess that shoots that theory. I thought it might be a timing issue as I flash last night and have PIN security. Normally I let it boot up and sit a bit before touching it but I noticed this time I unlocked the lockscreen and went into settings because I noticed I had no radio (settings > about phone) and noticed baseband was empty. Ended up having to HUP rild but it got to me to thinking that perhaps it was a timing issue as it was the first time it happened to me in this manner after a flash.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Wasn't one commit about timing?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Perhaps, I didn't notice one in my travels.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
It was at beginning of lp for our device but obviously didn't solve the problem.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Without any real knowledge of how the system works, I saw this:

service ril-daemon1 /system/bin/rild -c 1

class main

socket rild1 stream 660 root radio

socket rild-debug1 stream 660 radio system

user root

disabled

group radio cache inet misc audio sdcard_r sdcard_rw qcom_oncrpc diag qcom_diag log

service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -l /data/media /mnt/shell/emulated

class late_start

Wondering if added the late_start to rild's launch might affect enough of a delay. Guess I got something new to try today.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I've noticed that if airplane in power menu is on after first boot or reboot and in hidden menu cannot get smsc number that phone will never find signal. Usually power off/on solve that. Of course, first turn off airplane mode.
[RAZR HD Android Development] kabaldan:
As I have no idea what you are running, you have to ask yourself: Am I running CM12? Is it a recent build?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
CM12, BlissPop build 12/12. It was fine with dhacker builds too. Just didn't have time to update. Maybe is broken after 12/12?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Sorry Z, but I laughed when I read this. I appreciate sharp wit.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Well, question is silly. Why should I post part of my build.prop in CM12 thread if I'm using GB for example :D
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I have to respectfully disagree with ya bud, the question wasn't so much about CM12 (using your rationale) but rather the focus seemed to be more on build date :)

To each their own.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
That's why I asked is it broken in new builds ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Mikerhinos:
I have signal problems since official KK.

It happens when I wake phone (for example I get a led notification, so I press the power button to wake screen and it's an SMS, so I unlock to answer, and then it's like if radio freezes, then restart the signal service, don't know if it works like that, but it's the impression that I have).

If I check it 5mn later, it will do it again.

Maybe I have to flash radio or something.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Just tested and indeed is qcom.hw.aac.encoder is broken in the latest builds. In 12/12 BlisPop works just fine. May I ask why code is changed in that way?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Not broken on my build ;) Just set to false in build.prop and things will start working again. I've been keeping a close eye on commits, I can't answer your question however. I didn't see anything regarding it but then, there tends to be quite a lot of commits to CM12 in a day. But as [MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION] pointed out, the entire 8960A family is broken on it. Hopefully he can provide more detail, he has insider knowledge I don't :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Well, I didn't sleep much last couple of days and have jet lag but isn't better hw acc codec than sw based? Or sw is used even on older build regardless build.prop settings?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
As I recall, he said it's using Google's AAC codec; not sure if it's SW or HW backed. Couldn't tell you if older builds were using QCom or Google's codec.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Do you have idea how to check that? Logcat maybe?

I'm on phone now.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Maybe look at the propriatary_files list on github might provide some insight. Logcat might expose the codec but I'm not sure if it'll actually disclose whether it's Google or QCOM.

I can take a look at my local repo but not sure it'll tell me anything.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Would be nice if you have time.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
https://github.com/TheMuppets/propr...a8bc3/qcom-common/qcom-common-vendor-blobs.mk

I see the AAC codec but I can't tell if it's QCOM or Google.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
From logcat taken during video recording:

12-23 22:10:56.017 278 3271 E QC_AACENC: component init: role = OMX.qcom.audio.encoder.aac
[RAZR HD Android Development] kabaldan:
Re: qcom hw aac encoder

To be honest, I don't know what exactly broke it. I suppose it was one of the upstream merges (either from AOSP/Google or CAF/Qualcomm) that made it incompatible with the most recent CM12 frameworks and/or hardware code base.

But maybe, if you realize that Motorola's engineers have been always disabling it in stock firmware for their own reasons, it could help you to regret its loss lesser...
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
So build I'm still using, really uses qcom hw aac encoder? If yes, I suppose that should be better, more battery efficient... Could you enable it back? As you find solution for HDR.

In mean time, I will check sound quality.

Edit: Sounds good. The same as with KK. Codec info from MPC-HC: Audio: AAC 44100Hz stereo 96kbps [SoundHandle - MPEG-4 Audio].
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Saw this commit this afternoon:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/79749/

Wonder if this will resolve the noSIM/radio issues. Looks possibly CDMA related which means it may not help me out.
[RAZR HD Android Development] KrisM22:
no, you need a kkbl, because the kern is, I believe, 3.4

we will just have to be patient!
[RAZR HD Android Development] omlet:

so good for a first build !

Restoring some app (from sdcard :D) via titanium all is working great

[RAZR HD Android Development] amedeh123:
Charging led can be set to black to disable it and still keep low battery led

Of course the option must be added on CM12 first... We will have it soon enough

I just basically soft bricked my Maxx HD installing an older version of SuperSu, so glad I checked the forum again before attempting again

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

It became very unresponsive and laggy after installing the binaries for root
[RAZR HD Android Development] RMarques:
Can you elaborate a bit more...Im about to flash this version as soon as I get out of a boot loop here!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Playb3yond:
Flash the version of SuperSU listed above and you shouldn't have any problems
[RAZR HD Android Development] ATTACK:
If you set the volume to level 1, reboot, then tap volume down it will set the volume to silent. Seem's to be a bug in the OS.
[RAZR HD Android Development] iBolski:
So far, so good. The only thing so far that doesn't work is Google Play Movies. It crashes as soon a I try to play one or if I open up the left panel and select settings.

When playing a movie, the source file with the exception was the MediaDrm.java, so it appears it's crashing when checking the DRM for the movies.

However, it's the same class that throws an exception when I try to go into the settings menu, so not sure what is going on there.

I have been able to make and receive calls, send and receive texts, check my email, connect to WiFi, etc. Need to try a few games and see what happens there.

Overall, excellent first release. Pretty darned stable so far.

Will monitor over the next couple of days to see what battery life is like.
[RAZR HD Android Development] David Caddick:
Hi, Have I misunderstood because I was under the impression this would work for XT925? I'm getting an error applying this ROM that it's only for the XT907 and XT926 only?
[RAZR HD Android Development] amedeh123:
It does work on the 925, tried it myself. Something else must be wrong
[RAZR HD Android Development] TXKSSnapper:
Anyone tried music over bluetooth? When I did I got some wonky results. One song sounded like it was missing the bass, and another seemed to be playing in slo-mo. Bluetooth worked fine for phone calls though.

I'm still using CWM 6.0.4.4 - does this need upgrading or something else?

I'm currently on CarbonRom 4.4.4
[RAZR HD Android Development] David Caddick:
After a fair bit of reading thru the threads I can see what the error is quite clearly - I'm still on the JBBL and need to upgrade to the KKBL to get this going?

That being said, as much as there a lot of chatter about this and all leading back to Orphee's post, but he pulled the file at some stage and I have not been able to find the "real deal" on how to get this done - can anyone help out with a straightforward link/directions?

Thanks in advance
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I'm about 60% through the build right now and I'm also guessing that f2fs might also be a requirement. KKBL is most definitely required.
[RAZR HD Android Development] David Caddick:
Any ideas how to get the Boot Loader upgraded?

I can't believe Orphee's original post is now over 530+ pages... :crying:
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Sorry man, you'll have to wade through it to get all the good bits. I did mine a long time ago and not sure I still have them to share out.
[RAZR HD Android Development] David Caddick:
Boo hoo :crying:

Well it does almost sound like it's been incorporated into CM11 somewhere - still looking....
[RAZR HD Android Development] KrisM22:
I believe what you want to find is where they're flashing RTFR or something stock to get it initially. But that's not my phone so didn't pay a lot of attention.

[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I was just thinking that you're perfect person to find commit about qcom hw aac encoder ;)

Anyway, someone already reported, I think on droidrzr forum, wlan doesn't work together with bt. I can confirm that. Actually wlan can be turned on, somehow connect to AP but cannot authenticate. Wlan network was actually open. I don't have wlan near me to test but will find something if no one else or is already fixed?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I'll be posting a new build sometime tonight. I don't have any BT devices to test with (that are charged, anyways) to see if it interferes with WLAN.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Spidinator:
Will your new build have that radio commit mentioned a couple back?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Yup.

cm-12-20141223-UNOFFICIAL-moto_msm8960.zip

Includes everything previously and adb should be enabled by default (fingers crossed) for those who can't boot it to capture logs. I should also note that the filename only reflects my local date.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Spidinator:
Any difference for you as far as radio signal goes? I don't have a lot of data so I have to be choosy about which builds I download and flash. So just wondering what you think so far?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Dirty flashed over previous build, first boot had no radio. Second boot, I had radio. Third boot, I had radio. It happens to me once in a while but not often. Seems business as usual except for..

SU appears to be have broken for some time, at least since I first started installing CM12. I don't have a third party superuser installed (anymore), just default CM superuser. Trying to run su from shell (terminal or adb) always got permission denied as did any application requesting root.

I booted to recovery and ran Aroma file manager and was able to connect to a root shell from there via adb. Once there, I found /superuser/arm/su which had user+group read and execute. Changed perm to 0755 and rebooted back to CM12. From there, I connected via adb shell and ran su, have superuser. From there, I attempted to run applications that needed root, permission denied, again.

Back to shell, I found /system/bin/su which did not have read and execute for other, so I changed permissions to 4755 (because it's setuid and after remounting /system as rw) and from there, CM12's native superuser started working and popping up with permission request and show up in Settings > Superuser.

Otherwise, all's well.
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
After 3 days on cm-11 (was on a trip and needed BT in my car), I restored a cm-12 nandroid backup (based on dh 12/16), and flashed dh 12/21 on top of it. No matter what, I could never get radio. Tried multiple "airplane" on-off combinations, power on/off/reboot,... zip.

I had to cowardly revert to cm-11 for xmas..

As soon as I have time, I will test C's build with the radio commit.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
If you have no radio, drop to root shell (must have root working) and do: killall -HUP rild

99% of the time this works that I've found.
[RAZR HD Android Development] peladoro:
Tried latest blisspop 24/12 coming from cm11 latest clean flash wiped format data/ media no problems to report... Very smooth so far...
[RAZR HD Android Development] KC69:
I got radio within a minute after rebooting once, wiped cache and system. Not so good on. Bliss. Same wipe, had to reboot 4 times and turn off airplane in pwr menu twice. After that , its been great. When i getvtime ill clean flash both.
[RAZR HD Android Development] peladoro:
Yeah...did a reboot for laughs same result, lost radio so airplane mode, soft reboot nothing then shut off removed sim and sdcard tray replaced reboot working fine...
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
Thanks. I'll try this prior to cursing next time...
[RAZR HD Android Development] Mikerhinos:
So, are the signal/radio problems resolved ?

Have some since official KK personnally :(
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
No. But sending the HUP signal to the rild service (as advised by C a few posts back) nicely works around the issue.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TecknoFreak:
JBBL also have a build of lollipop available. Wooohoooo
[RAZR HD Android Development] RMarques:
Hey there C, would you mind to shed some light on me about the "drop to root shell"? I'm pretty sure it'll be quite a simple task but I'm not 100% familiarize with the terminology!

Sent from my LG G3 D855, Rooted'n Bumped, TWRP 2.8.3.0, still can't decide which Custom ROM to use!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Z here as replacement :) Start terminal emulator, type: su, enter, grand root access, then type: killall -HUP rild, press enter again. You'll notice disappearing of signal icon, showing again, hopefully with signal.
