gapps files question

hello!

i have a razr hd (xt925) with latest eu retail rom (kitkat)

i would like to try the cm-12-20150102-UNOFFICIAL-moto_msm8960 rom. i have read in the posts that there are also some gapps files. what are these for? and how should i use them?

Thanks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Middle_Man:
gapps are the Google apps you're used to seeing like play store, play music and gmail. U have to be sure to use the gapps files that are specifically for LP builds. I've always used the ones from dhacker29. Flash them the same way you flash the rom in recovery.

Hope this helps

Text Messaging

I am running Cm12 latest 1/14 official nightly on a Verizon XT926 Razr Maxx HD phone and I am having the same text messaging issues. It seemed to start when I installed custom recovery and unlocked the bootloader. I use dhacker29 CWM latest build (I think it is the latest). My stock messaging app would send texts or receive them but Verizon Message+ would most of the time. Upon switching to CM12 built in messaging app would not work but Textra and text secure do most of the time. However at least once a day I stop receiving texts. I can still send texts but sometimes the text will be sent 4 times and when I cant receive texts I can however view them on verizon's web app. Usually a reboot of the phone will fix the problem but most of the time it takes multiple reboots til I get a wireless signal/ connection again. Any help would be greatly appreciated

CM12 20150118 Nightly Bootloop using TWRP 2.8.4.0

I just flashed cm-12-20150118-NIGHTLY-xt926 using dhacker's TWRP 2.8.4.0 recovery image. Bootloop is the result. I wiped dalvik-cache; cache; data; system; and internal sd. I also made sure data was EXT4 format. Any others experiencing this? Thanks...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayonesoft:
I just cannot seem to get this working again...

I had to restore the stock xt926 Kitkat in order to get my GPS working because it didn't have a lock and apparently there's no way to fix that without reverting to stock.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0 and no matter what type of CM12 nightly I put on there, it just gets stuck in the boot (I've let it run for well over an hour without any changes). This includes CWGSM3VO's awesome radio fix images (which I had been using before reverting to stock).

I've been at this for over 8 hours now, just trying to get anything loaded on there and I'm having no luck. I'm in sore need of a victory at this point.

I've tried factory wipe, I've tried manually wiping, I've tried fixing the permissions and partitions... I've tried dirty flashing.

Am I just missing something tiny yet important?

Right now I'm just trying to stick CWGSM3VO's 01-18 Unofficial on there.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

If I try to dirty flash over stock Kitkat I get SystemUIDs Inconsistent and all the processes crash. If I clean flash, it gets bootlooped.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

I wonder if I have to install CM11 before I can install CM12...

Giving that a shot.

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Okay that was the issue. I was trying to go from stock Kitkat to CM12 instead of taking a detour through CM11 first.

After that, I'm able to boot to CM12 just fine. Now to test GPS Lock...

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Kind of a strange question.

Is anyone having any issues with the Calculator app in CM12 01-20?

It takes a really long time to start up and freezes my phone in the process. When it does finally come up, it's incapable of adding together a long string of numbers (like 20 or so numbers, it just stops at a certain point and stops letting you input)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcc014:
No problem at all, even in 20150122 build. Calculator came up fast and calculation was fast too. Did you do clean install or just "dirty" install ?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayonesoft:
I did a dirty install over CM12 01-17 (C's radio fix) which itself was a dirty install over CM11. I meant to do a clean install but I was so frustrated at that point that I just wanted to get it working and forgot to do a factory wipe after I had successfully booted and confirmed GPS/radio. I'll make a note of this for the next time I do a factory wipe.

CM12 Bluetooth Problems Continue

I continue to have CM12 Bluetooth issues (currently using CM12 15-01-23 Nightly with PA Lollipop Beta GApps (15-01-16). I connect my Bluetooth headset, try to make a call, it then hangs, then freezes the dialer. Reboot is only way to recover. Any others having this problem? Thanks...

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayonesoft:
Just did a full clean install for the latest CM12 nightly 20150130.

Did a factory wipe, went back in and wiped everything else...then went in and re-formated the partitions to f2fs.

Rebooted back into TWRP and installed just the latest nightly. After about 2 minutes of booting it went into upgrading and then the setup.

Rebooted into TWRP and installed the DH Gapps (20150125). Wiped dalvik and cache before rebooting to system.

Another minutes or so of booting, then upgrading and finally setup.

Spent the better part of a couple hours getting my accounts added, apps installed, settings configured and everything.

Things are running smooth so far. I haven't been thoroughly testing everything but I haven't run into any issues thus far.

It's also running considerably faster than before.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayonesoft:
There seems to be some sort of inconsistency with the alarm feature.

More specifically the snooze/stop feature.

There seem to be 3 different methods this feature appears. It may or may not have to do with the fact that I snooze multiple times a morning.

There's one where you get the old style notification and you tap either snooze or stop. Then there's a lollipop one with the fullscreen snooze/stop that you have to slide to snooze or stop. Then there's a 3rd one where it doesn't pop up anything at all and you have to go into the notification bar and tap snooze or stop.

I've also encountered issues where I tap or slide snooze and it does nothing, and issues where the alarm is going off and I can't do anything at all because there's no notification whatsoever.

I am currently on the 20150202 build.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petesamprs:
noob question - what is the advantage of upgrading your recovery? I just upgraded from cm11 to cm12 (nightly), but stuck with my original TWRP 2.7.1.0. Does 2.8 give you any important functionality with lollipop that you don't have with 2.7?

My only issue with CM12 (I'm on 2/19 nightly) is that media streaming over bluetooth isn't working in my car anymore (worked on cm11). Shows that it's playing, but no audio. Still trying to figure out what the issue is.

Heyho,

since i have some problems with installing this rom and end up in bootloops, i got a question:

how long does it take to first time Boot?

Maximum time i waited (After Full Wipe) was 25 minutes.

Have i waited too short?

When i started with the whole Custom Rom thing, people always says, bootup mostly takes about 10 minutes, if not: You got in a bootloop.

thanks in advance, greetz Esok
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaicolS:
They haven't lie, first boot usually takes around 5-10 minutes . But if you don't want to end up on a bootloop, you need to wipe cache, data, system and dalvik, flash a cm11 build, let it boot, wipe again and then flash cm12 with gapps
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Of course they have not lied, it has always been like that, i was just unsure if the ART changed first bootup times to around 30 minutes, maybe.

What i need now is a cm11 Build for XT925 KKBL. I am not able to find one.

The ones for msm8960 are giving me the "Your Device is not supported Error. Due to this i can't install them.

Here is a Post by me explaining the error i get, posted in Q&A-CM11:

Is there anyone who knows where to get a working CM11 Build for the XT925?

I know, not the right Post for a Dev Thread, so sorry, but this is contextual, so please be nice to me.

Edit: actually this is not The dev thread, so everything seems to be OK :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaicolS:
the builds for xt925 specific device are very old so I don't think you can find one. regardless, that error shows up because you need to use an old recovery to flash them(msm8960 builds), try philz only to flash cm11 and then switch back to twrp to flash cm12

p.s: here's a link to the newest cm11 build, just in case

When I press home while in the dock, the same message reappears. I had android auto installed for less than a minute approximately 3 months ago, and have since then jumped between different ROMs, gone back to stock using RSD Liteand then returned to CM12.1.

Last issue: When I use navigation in Google Maps and am listening to music (Google Play Music) through my Aux plug, Play Music will turn itself off. When I switch to Play Music to turn it back on, Google Maps will turn itself off and I will have to reopen Maps, type the address in again and press navigate.
