Glad you enjoy CM -- I am personally disappointed in it and have been spending some time trying others out. Unfortunately, it appears that CyanogenMod is more concerned in making/adding to their SDK and importing features that mean little to most and not spending time reviewing/QA on the ROM in it's most basic form.

I understand that perhaps (in case someone decides to retort) on different devices, these problems don't exist. But I think a improperly functioning alarm clock for almost 6 months (give or take) is absolutely ridiculous. I remember seeing a comment on one commit done by Steve where some CAF commits broke the ROM for them and his response was "fix your broken device code". The response was "it wasn't broken until your &*#@ CAF commit BS" which works fine for the devices THEY work on. Granted, this can happen from time to time but there appears to be no rhyme or reason to their development model except to import as much work from others (CAF, etc) as possible and only work on devices the main development circles uses.

All in all, I'm very disappointed and I managed to end up rambling to boot.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
That's sad to read, you're (were) one the strongest CM supporter here. Definitely agree with you. CM became most popular mod with a reason but now some smaller teams manage to provide better roms even with using CM code (CM is using Google code...).

But that's common for open source, mostly based on volunteers. Without strong management or team leader, everyone wish to work on something cool or something they wish. Nobody wants to do uncool job fixing bugs except if affecting their own personal experience. And answer is exactly like "code is open, fix your broken device code" or read between lines "I don't wish to spend time fixing for you".

Solution is to use rom from dev(s) who really use that phone. They will fix it for themselves and share with us.

Btw, have you tried DU? I think Bliss is still releasing new builds, maybe even AOSP.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Yeah I tried DU and their workaround for the alarm clock is interesting and yes, the alarm works as expected. That is, it works the way it should. I haven't given up on CM by any stretch of the imagination but I lack the necessary foundational knowledge to actually fix this issue and frankly, it's my only issue. What I may end up doing is using the same approach that DU did for this issue and start building my own again as time permits.

I did take a look at AOSP but there's quite a bit of set up involved in getting the build system working which I'm really not prepared (nor care) to invest into. I haven't tried Bliss recently, but most ROMs tend to bolt all this extra crap onto it and it looks non-uniform/unprofessional. DU appears to not be one of those types of ROMs however. I'm still playing with it but so far, I'm pretty impressed at the overall ROM.

Here's a commit that kind of illustrates what I was driving at: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/106126/ which is: "cmsdk: Fix README. (Add period)."

Really? That's important?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
LOL for commit, for him obviously yes.

DU has some bloat or maybe better to say, something I don't use or need (Omni for example) but overall works very well. Probably because Jason is really using it with x926 and he was very kind to respond to my request and build for xt925.

I think that someone is still building AOSP for our devices. Just downloading latest Bliss, probably will not test it soon but it's smaller than CM and let it have on the hdd.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I just noticed in DU for the alarmclock (been testing the crap out of it, have like 10 different alarms) is that unlike CM, the timestamps shown in logcat are correct (if you may remember in a previous related post, I called out that the timestamps were in some cases, way off).
[RAZR HD Android Development] niksy+:
[MENTION=4418762]CWGSM3VO[/MENTION] Thanks for the tip about the keyboard issues in the previous nightly! This seems to be the fix - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/106103/

So, I'll wait for the next one for updating. Or just flash DU to test in the meantime.

Regarding BlissPop - I know that most people think the name bears a rather negative connotation, but I think that shouldn't be the case... I

loved

it while I was using it. Can't even remember why I returned to CM o.O I think it was only because CM has regular updates (nightlies), while BP gets new builds...when the device builder feels like it. Which, when I think of it now, may not be a point for BP, actually. Nobody checks the CM nightlies, it just goes online as is.

Also, there were some controversies about Baidu whatever-ware apps being included, but that was only done by one builder who was since removed from the team, as far as I understood. They seem to be as good as any other guys :)

I'm starting on my first job on Monday, so I hope the last DU build works out well at least for the following week :)

Cheers, guys!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Good luck with your first job :)

I would switch back to CM11 if I can (sd card/android media problem).
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Just to be fair and concise/clear -- I have absolutely no operational issues with CM12.1 except for the alarm clock. Everything else works 100% for me. DU is OK but I'm finding some things I really don't like about it (for example, no incognito mode in default browser) and will more than likely re-flash CM12.1 again.

What running DU has given me is insight in how to work around the one issue I have. And it's been fun trying something new for a bit.
[RAZR HD Android Development] amedeh123:
Care to expand on this issue? Im having problems playing music from my new sdcard, is that it?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Hi guys, I'm still running the 08/07 official build. I think that's my battery is dying. I've tried to use this app, but not sure if that's improve my battery's life or not.

I'll flash DU in 3 days (when I'll come home and have another internet connection than my phone). May I do something for my battery before/while/after clean flashing the new ROM?

In case I'll needed to change my battery: Do you know a trustable website that provides XT925 battery (or with larger capacity), because if found dozen of sites. Somebody also send some on Amazon, but buyers seems to be a bit disappointed.

Thanks :D

Worst joke of the day: We are on the page 404, but we can find it
[RAZR HD Android Development] Raven2m:
So are we reaching the end for devices, starting to think about my next phone...

Don't want to go above 5.2inch screen for size reason. Thinking of the turbo or the new nexus 5 or something else they all have pros & cons. Just would like a long battery like I've got on my 926m.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I wouldn't say this is the end of the device. Lots of folks are now picking up Razr HD's because the market is (or was) flooded with people getting rid of them. Either way, unless mine is absolutely 100% dead, I can't upgrade. So sayeth my wife :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Same here, until it can be usable for at least one day without charging, I'll keep it (at least until christmas, or maybe latter)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Raven2m:
Been getting more full lockups on my device been less than a month since my last full wipe.
[RAZR HD Android Development] niksy+:
I love the Turbo, but it's already too big, imo :rolleyes: Will there be a 2015 refresh to the Droid line-up? Hoping to see a new mini Moto Droid. Other than that, I've been thinking about the (Ultra) Maxx, but it's actually not much of an update to the R HD except for 2gigs of RAM, ay?

So, my current pick for a replacement is the 2015 Moto G. All the reviews are extremely positive. And it was about time that Moto got their camera department straight and that's what's making me want the G the most :) Both the Ultra and the Turbo have not really been praised for the performance of their cameras :/ I was trying to find the TDPs of the chips in R HD and 2015 G, but I guess all manufacturers set them up differently, so it seems impossible to find :/ Would the battery be comparable to that of our Maxx? I'm guessing yes? Other than that, I don't have performance issues with my HD, so I'm guessing I wouldn't have them with a three years newer chipset either, even though it's from a few tiers lower.

And, yeah, no switching teams for me, I'm a big time Moto fan.

Anyone care to start a thread about this? Although it's nice that this one has livened up, even though it's gone off topic :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
For me DU works better and smoother than CM.

I have spare battery from donated phone but sending from USA will probably cost more than battery itself. But that's kind of solution, to find broken, bricked phone and take battery from it. Just got idea, maybe my friend from Poland has spare battery. Will ask him.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

What kind of problems do you have? Mine is that I cannot even boot with sd card in and system freezes if I plug in after boot. Back in CM11 days, solution was to put .nomedia in music folder or to root of sd card. But only few music players has it's own media scanner and without it will not show music at all. Or photos in gallery if you put .nomedia in root.

Poweramp has its own scanner but it's paid app and what's annoying me the most, must check license after each play services update. That's for all paid apps and it's Google fault, looks like that is clearing license info during service update. Not big deal if you're online all the time but in roaming when you sometimes connect to the WIFI, play service update silently in background, you sit in the car and realize that navigation, music player, etc. doesn't work anymore. And for some reason, play service is updating every few days.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Thanks Z, but I'm not sure if it's really dead or if it needs a proper calibration.

Anyway, as everyone was saying, RAZR HD is going to disappear.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
How is going to disappear? Even my Atrix 4G is still in the same universe as me :D
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Planned obsolescence. If I can still use it daily for next months, it'll be nice.

And big brother don't have access to our fingerprints [emoji3]
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Old but not obsolete :D

You watched the latest movie, right? :)

Anyway, Moto G looks promising, sd card is back (I'll be back :D). Asus max with its 5000 mAh battery too. Still waiting Asus to release Zenfone Zoom. As long as Razr HD is working no need to rush.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Exactly. And yes, microSD card is really useful, I can't understand people that buy phones without it.

I just remembered something I need share : I've said that I used a battery calibration app (I've dropped the link earlier today) . As I was fully discharging my phone (not sure if it was a good thing, but it's too late), a weird thing happened : my battery indicator in status bar indicate 1% for a long time before my phone shutdown (maybe the same time it takes to discharge from 2 to 10 or 15%, or maybe more)

So I'm not totally sure if it's a sign of a dying battery or a software issue.
[RAZR HD Android Development] niksy+:
I've seen that on all Android phones I've used by now :) 1% of battery lasts a looong time :D

Anyway, battery calibration on Android has been declared a myth years ago...plus these new batteries don't really enjoy full discharges as the old ni-cd ones did :rolleyes: Or at least this is how I've learned these things :/
[RAZR HD Android Development] MaicolS:
I tryed installing that ROM but cannot get to pass the "checking your network speed" screen without a google play services FC, which gapps have you used? And don't you know if the ROM supports f2fs in /data partition?

[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I'm using older pa_gapps-modular_pico-5.1-20150315. gps will update itself anyway or will ask to update first time when gmail or hangout is started.

Not sure for f2fsk I just left ext4.
[RAZR HD Android Development] lcc014:
Flashing blue screen comes back in latest nightly (0815) !! I did "CLEAN FLASH" this morning :(
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Surprisingly, I've never seen that bug. Neither on 926 or 925.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
See OP. I use f2fs on /cache, /data and /data/media
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Seems the same to me :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I do, but only once in a blue moon (no pun intended). Usually I see it adjusting the volume (the heads up volume slider panel) and normally, I've only seen it when doing so in Google Play Store and once or twice from homescreen.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
With DU too? I think that's what he's asking.

nobe1976 said that is based on AOSP not CM, maybe that's why :)

Just tried to reproduce and no psychedelic for me :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
I've also saw it recently. But I've dirty flashed 08/07 over another build, and I'm not sure I saw it after that.

[MENTION=4442286]niksy+[/MENTION] thanks for the lesson [emoji1]
[RAZR HD Android Development] drkdeath5000:
Is anyone else getting major hangs/freezes with cm12.1 or DU?

Mine seems to hang a lot when i'm opening a facebook messenger chat head and occassionally when using chrome. Tried DU and whilst it does seem smoother i'm still getting the hang/freezing.
[RAZR HD Android Development] lcc014:
Lucky you. Since I do "clean flash", I have not seen this for a while. This flashing blue screen issue is very random.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
- Yes, with DU too, as per the OP, I'm using f2fs on three partitions :)

- It appears to be, yup. But doesn't seem any faster/smoother than CM on my device.

- I can never repro it on command :)

I'll probably re-flash CM today. My alarm for this morning @ 600 didn't fire. Every other alarm I had set up as a test fired, except the one I needed to wake my sorry self up for work ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Anyone tried M?

[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:

[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
Lol i think thats what we all thought it would be. But they are going with Marshmallow and 6.0
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
MM is MarshMallow :D

Each version is more and more demanding although they're promising opposite. People is flashing back kk.
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
Ah, didn't catch that lol

As far as I go, phone-wise i'll agree with that (thanks MCP1!). Tablet-wise, i'm sitting on 5.1.1
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Yep, some days ago I was asking myself : may I get back to kk? But lollipop is best looking imo
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Found an interesting thread just a few minutes ago:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2780641&page=3

I'm going to see what happens when I enable RTC writes in the next couple of days. The discussion points to CDMA phones having fits when this is enabled but that it was always enabled in 3.0 kernels. Just curious to see if this resolves the alarm issue.

Update...

"Qualcomm recommand that rtc_write_enable value should be disabled. Because other subsystem are dependent on rtc from pmic and forcing it to different value may cause unexpected problems on other subsystem."

Splat. Dead end.

On a bright note, my alarm fired this morning. I did a few things differently this time around, will see if it sticks and report.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Hi guys, I'm gonna switch to DU in a couple of hours. Should I do everything with battery stats before? (remove a file, ...)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Just wipe as usual. I extend wiped, all except internal and sd card.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Thanks. C was talking about F2FS, should I try it or not?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
If you wish, I didn't and still using ext4.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I flashed CM back last night -- DU was randomly rebooting on me, out of the blue. Got tired of some of the missing things that I got used to as well. Browser has no incognito mode, no file manager, etc etc. It's quick when you don't have Google apps installed but otherwise, it's (for me) the same speed as CM is.

I'll stick with CM. It was nice to try something new for a while, but in the end, I came back to CM.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Never had any issues with f2fs in my experience. Not saying you did, but in my opinion, it's worth using.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
So I've put /data, /cache and /system as f2fs.

First time I get the "get your apps & data"

I'll give you more infos soon.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Not sure about better performance. Yes, first impression is that is smoother. With DU I wanted to avoid any potential problems. Later maybe I'll try with f2fs.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
/data can only be formatted f2fs if /data/media is also formatted as f2fs as they are the same root mount point. TWRP won't let me format /data as f2fs without formatting /data/media as well (same as PhilZ did, etc...)
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
So, my alarm for 0600hr is scheduled for tomorrow and my 1645hr alarm fired as well -- I didn't need to toggle my alarms for it. So a few observations as I don't have exactly the same setup as before:

- I chose not to enable my Cyanogen account; not sure if alarm data is held in the account

- My alarms are set up the same as before, priority interruption mode (ie; starred contacts, etc)

- The alarm quick-setting tile is not present, I left the ROM basically "stock" configuration wise in this respect

- I reinstalled most of the Google apps that didn't come with my GApps, but not all of them (yet).

Whether or not these differences made any difference, I couldn't say. Perhaps it was actually fixed. Either way, so far, it's working as expected.

This is from a 6/18 clean install using DHacker's GApps, upgraded via Play Store accordingly.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I've got Android Marshmallow on my phone today :D
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I'm guessing you were in California today (I'll be there in 3 days) at the Google building. If so and you were that close to take a pick, did you try poking the marshmallow? I would have ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I'm in California for awhile and today had time to go to Googleplex and take few photos. Of course that I tried, nothing happened. It's pretty stable. I mean statue, not sure about OS release :D

Let me know if you when you come. If you have time you can buy me a drink (ok, I can buy to you too) :D
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Heh, it's funny how universal some things are ;)

I'll be in Legoland with the family (my son's bday present from us) which according to Google (Legoland to Mountain View), is almost 7.5/8 hours away :(
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Thx for idea, never been there. I'll check web site to see is it worth it to visit or is just for kids :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
On a unrelated note -- noticed I don't have mobile data on 8/19 but did on 8/18 -- radio has a exclamation mark through it and under mobile networks, no APN was selected (I selected the right one, may have to reboot as it's still there)

EDIT: Wiped cache/dalvik -- this time I had the foresight to make a nandroid before upgrading :P

EDIT: Restored my 8/18 backup, mobile data is back (no exclaimation mark, inet works, mms is still acting fishy tho...)

EDIT: Spoke too soon, still no mobile data :( know it was working in DU before I flashed CM (8/18)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Hi guys. So I get a weird issue yesterday (13h ago): I was using the Dirty Tweaks option that let us remove system app (like browser, apollo, equalizer, ...) So I removed a couple of app, reboot, then I stuck on bootanimation. I've tried to wipe cache/dalvik cache, still bootloop.

No problem, I'll clean flash again.

Phone working well. I was in Dirty Tweaks again; I enabled the option to change music track when long press Vol-/+ while screen is of. I then got bootanimation, and stuck here. I've tried to force shutdown phone (vol- + power) and boot again. Still bootloop.

I've tried to wipe cache/dalvik cache. Still bootloop.

I found this on CM's forum

Should I wipe /system (wipe>advanced wipe>system) and try to flash again, or may I try something else?

EDIT: I've tried this method, not working.

Sorry for those daily dumb-questions
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:

That is a really nice device. Wonder if it's root(ed/able) or can get CM (or work-a-like) on it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:

Third time my phone got a bootloop on DU. This time I've just installed SMS Backup & Restore to have my sms.

Too bad, DU was a good ROM (kk, and seems to be nice on v9.6 too)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Maybe you have problems because of f2fs? For me DU works really good. Didn't format any partition to f2fs.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I saw it already and somehow I don't trust it. Maybe because of unfamiliar brand or because double cell or iP like GUI... Still Zenfone max looks better with single 5000 mAh battery and probably has better chance to get CM.
