[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
I flashed the latest CM13 Build (4/9/16) to my device on the Safe Partition, along with the modified file on your website and the GApps, and now every time I try to boot it normally it loops, and it stays on a black screen when it boots to recovery. What should I do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
Probably the ramdisk on my site for cm13 is now outdated for latest cm13 nigltlies, you should build a new version by you.

Don't forget that system partition for the Safe Rom slot is only 600mb, so you can't install a large gapps, I advice you to use the great micro g gms core project instead of the gapps.

About the black screen when trying to access at the recovery is strange, if you can't access at the stock slot the only solution is to restore the phone with rsd.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vlasp:
Yeah, that seems like my only option. It is fine, because my phone was really slow and a full reset will help it be faster. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when installing CM13 on the Safe Partition after I reset my XT912. Thanks!

Is there a modified ramdisk.img for LineageOS 14.1? I don't know how to edit the ramdisk.img let alone for LineageOS 14.1...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] macstibs:
I'm looking for the same thing. Also found a project that was based on this "UnusedPartitions" work to use the /webtop partition for /system in it's own slot. It has a script to modify the ramdisk, but it's broken since it was probably written for 12 or 13.

If I figure anything out, I'll report back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axomgeek:
Issue: Intermittent Cellular Network after updating to Lollipop 5.0.1 on Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500

Solution:

1. Disable Mobile Data(if enabled)

2. Go to Settings > More Networks > Mobile networks > Network operators

3. Choose "Select automatically"

4. Enable Mobile Data (if required).

Reason:

Lollipop has some inherent issues with the manual network. Also if you have installed the firmware of a different country, then it is wise to set the Network Selection Mode to AUTOMATIC

whos experiencing what i am undergoing right now? like the volume down button cant be recognized while accessing flashmode using emma flashtool, androxyde flashtool, and sony pc companion eventhough you've installed the drivers from the flashtool still can't be recognized in flashmode. How did you guys fixed it? Did you guys bought a new xperia z3?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulianPL:
Hey man.

All you have to do is:

Install the newest Flashtool.

Install from drivers folder flashmode and z3 drivers.

Go into Devide Menager on windows.

Connect usb cable to z3 while pressing down key of volume.

It will be appear SOMC device.

Try to right click, properties and update driver. Choose u will find manually driver and choose from already installed.

You will probably have 2 licensed drivers SOMC and SEMC. One of this should works. For me it was SEMC.

GREEN LIGHT DOESN'T WORK, but it's not a problem, already running flashing and for a few minuts i will have 5.0 android on my z3.

Btw nice, that Sony doesn't know that POLAND is baltican country...
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
First off, let me preface this by saying that I appreciate all of the hard work and time by the devs/volunteers here, and they give us some pretty cool things.

It just seems that no matter what rom I try, it has a bug or 2 that may not keep me from enjoying my phone, but it keeps creeping. Even the so-called stable KK still has growing pains. Is it possible for a rom to be completely stable? (aka, at least as stable as stock) Or is the nature of roms always going to be a bit behind from a standpoint of stability?

I have yet to try a rom (been doing this for 3 yrs) that has been 100% (stock) stable. I can use most roms just fine though, and again, this is not a slight on the devs and those who work hard. But let's be honest, an already flawed Lollipop must be a pain to get make a custom rom from. Am I alone? Btw, I'm back on stock for now, as it works fine. But will be waiting patiently for the awesome devs to figure it out. (and yes, I realize there must be testing for things to get better)
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
This is why I'm done with custom ROMs. I get all I need from stock KK + Xposed. Haven't flashed a ROM (as a daily driver) in almost 2 years.
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
Ahhh, Metalhead. I like the name, as it's my mantra for the last 40 yrs. Anyway, you seem bitter about it, as other things. ;)

I'm just trying to get some real feedback about how people feel. Thanks Metal, noted.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
It's not soo much the roms. Stock lollipop is bugged from Google as it's relatively new so hasn't had everything ironed out yet like the older KK
[Nexus 5 General] thor1k:
imo yeah. tis why I went back to stock 4.4.4 and GravityBox. No issues since then. None. Zero. Roms not worth fiddling with IMO. too many bugs trying to figure out if it's the app, the kernel, the ROM...I will do custom kernels but...no more than that.
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
Good point.
[Nexus 5 General] ShapesBlue:
I think its all in what type of bugs you get. I've seen bugs even on stock roms, custom roms give you those options where stock falls short. I do however think Xposed is a good way to possibly fix some of those issues

[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
4 stock updates from Google within 3-4 months (and we still expect bugs...). How could we have 100% stable custom roms?

Anyways custom roms are stable enough to enjoy my phone and it's way better than stock :)
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
I'm not bitter about it lol, just got tired of flashing new ROMs all the time. It's nothing against the devs, they do some really great work, I just now prefer the dependability of stock. It was the original Moto X that changed my habits.
[Nexus 5 General] mbellot:
It's software, by definition it will have bugs.

The question is whether or not you can live with a particular ROM's set of unique bugs.

I've been running an old (Oct. 2014) CM11 nightly because it mostly gives me what I want without undue grief (weird reboots, battery drain, etc).

It's far from perfect, it won't play nice 100% with my car head end just to list one thing (BT bug, seems to be fixed in CM12).

I play around with other ROMs using MultiROM, but always come back to the old CM11.

I'm quite happy there is such an assortment to try, imagine how unhappy you would be if there was only one and it had a major (in your opinion) bug.
[Nexus 5 General] Lokke9191:
I don't think it's possible to get rid of all bugs ever. Its an os that is working with constantly changing apps and devices. But, I use cataclysm as my dd with elementalx and I don't notice any bugs. Im sure they are there, they just don't affect me with my particular usage.
[Nexus 5 General] zagorteney:
I'm totally agree with [MENTION=2705242]_MetalHead_[/MENTION]. I've came to Nexus, because I was tired to flash my Xperias with custom ROMs an CMs., thought I still think that Sonys hardware is supperior than the LG and Acer one.

Sure that all of custom ROMs have bug or two. But that is because Google have all bunch off developers that are fully employed to make stock android. You are aware, that custom ROMs here are made by individuals or small group enthusiasts. And that is. As man grows, he more and more prefer bitter chocolate than the sweet one. Sweet one is for children. And offcourse, we both enjoy.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
That's funny, I used to hate dark chocolate as a kid and now I prefer it.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
They all have bugs. Every ROM I've used stock or custom has had bugs. Though staying stock or staying with the stable builds by the big name teams yielded the most stable experience for me. If someone flashes weeklies/nightlies and does not expect a bug or two they're doing it wrong. Main thing is finding something you as a user can live with.
[Nexus 5 General] Donnie Sins:
It's funny that I just opened XDA 5 minutes ago to search for people's opinions about completely stable custom roms and I immediately came across this thread. I guess I will keep my phone stock and try Xposed for the first time when it's available.

I was done with flashing and experimenting with my Galaxy S2 a while ago after I realized there wasn't a perfect rom. But it's tempting though now I have a Nexus phone..:rolleyes:

[Nexus 5 General] republicano:
I wondered about this, reading about what devs have deal with what googles supplies over time.

I tried Cataclysm lollipop and that's really close to being a solid rom but the bugs from google really make it frustrating to use as a daily rom, poor ram management and lockups, the inabilty to multi task without redrawing.

from a consumers point of view you expect lollipop to be an improvement over kitkat,

Switched back to kitkat and didn't realised how good and battery friendly It is.

This is why I stayed with nexus,the closet thing to a stable phone, will wait for 5.1 before I update.
[Nexus 5 General] zerosum0:
Yes they are. In the lollipop updates on unofficial cm roms I'm still getting camera bug and the voip bug where I can't be heard on a headset. They appear after a few hours to weeks. Happend on a nighty today so Sent logcat in. Lollipop shouldn't have been released in the mess it's in. It's laughable that a couple of pple cherry picking from roms will do anything other than incorporate the bugs. There is a Golden rule here # devs can do no wrong and you can't put them down# cherry pickers are not developing anything imo. They merge others work, sometimes producing a better rom than the original, granted, but fixing problems. They have no idea 90%of the time. 10%are more skilled. But if google with hundreds of coders can't get it right what chance have independent roms? Look at the official lollipop CM. Still on nightlys and will be when 5.1 comes.

I run roms until a bug crops in and won't go which breaks something I need. Them on to the next. Bigsys?? K K roms were the closest to perfection. Fast and fluid.

Kernels is another thing, for another day..
[Nexus 5 General] ShapesBlue:
While they may be less than perfect, from what I've been reading the Nexus 5 may be skipping 5.1 and going directly to 5.2

[Nexus 5 General] OKLYMY:
From my point of view, even the stock ROM has its own flaws and sometimes it gets resolved a few revisions/versions later. On a custom ROM, it tends to be resolved pretty quickly provided the developer is actively monitoring user feedback and supporting it.

I'll usually only look for custom ROMs which focuses on staying as stock as possible while improving its speed and stability, I'll try to stay away from ROMs that offers a lot of other additional features which may or may not break another thing or two.

Couldn't agree more. Applies to everything.
[Nexus 5 General] xXDanielHDXx:
I personally use xTraSmooth (ever newest version via app). I yet didnt found a bug, and its a daily driver rom. Looking stock but having all the improvements you could imagine inside it.

Its 100% perfect, for me at least. i couldnt imagine a rom being better :)

and i used a lot, almost all from the first and second side in the Android Developement :)

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
1. define "stable"

2. "completely stable" is impossible for any sort of software — there are ∞ ways to break anything

3. since when was stock "stable"?
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
Where have you been reading that drivel?
[Nexus 5 General] ShapesBlue:
Look around and read things. I'm saying the official 5.2 will be made available and 5.1 will just be implemented via custom roms

[Nexus 5 General] fabulous69:
Like xTrasmooth for ex.

Stock with a few improvements and kernel for battery life management is enough for me

Additionnal features are too often sources of bugs and instability.
[Nexus 5 General] vnvman:
Personally I tried pretty much all of the ROMs, and it seems like all of them suffer from a specific issue: at times when moving from portrait to landscape on YouTube videos, or even in the gallery and some other apps the screen freezes. I say the screen and not the phone because for example on YouTube the audio keeps playing but the phone is frozen. I can turn on and off the screen but the screen is frozen on the same frame and the only option is a hard reboot. This is very annoying because it happens at least 2-3 times a day. As I said I changed many ROMs but nothing seems to fix it. Besides that I like pretty much everything about cooked Lollipop and I have no major issues to report.
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
It figures that after I started this thread, I tried CM12 w/Xtra Cherries and after about 4 weeks it's been perfect. I guess I reversed jinxed myself. Perhaps there is hope after all.

Hi!

Seen many others facing the issue with speakers crackling/get distorted att hight volumes on notifications/ringtones. For example alarm sound named Oxygen sounds distorted on higher volume and also the ringtone Ganymede. But youtube and such sounds like they should even att highest volume. Is this on all phones? Is it software or hardware related? Absolutley loving the phone but if my speakers are broke I need to try and get a replacement.

Can anyone confirm that they have no distortion/crackle at all?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
No problem for me here, not even on the highest volume level. If some users have this issue its probably a hardware faillure rather then software.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
Some devices are facing this issue. If it's only happening on highest volume then it's a software issue or else it's a hardware issue :)

This sucks :( How could they solve software issues that is only affecting some phones? If I send mine back It will take 2-3 weeks for it to come back.

I from sweden and Motorola isnt represented here so I have to go through the company I bought it from sucks. Will never buy from them again.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxione:
Lets hope they do. It must be software related in my case. Noticed a thing when testing a bit today. When I hold my phone normally the "crackle" / "bad sound" comes from the top speaker and the bottom one sounds fine but if I turn the phone to landscape mode the crackle jumps down to the bottom speaker and the top speaker sounds fine. Reaaally strange

The crackle problem does the same on me ,except the landscape experiment which I haven't done .But if it really occurs just as you explain ,than it is most probably (or it looks like) software related issue. Anyway it indeed seems strange :|
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0701:
I definitely have this issue. On latest M firmware on Sprint variant. I manually flashed firmware.. Saw somewhere else on here where someone solved problem by installing viper audio and setting to super hi quality sound.. May try that. Seems like I recall on og Nexus 7 some kernels would cause the device to get too hot (like the charger that came with phone does for me..) And speakers would get messed up as a result and distort. Hope that's not the case here. :banghead:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toknitup420:
Its most likely software. It almost sounds the same as the speaker distortion that the one m8 had when running cm due to the lack of proper audio drivers. Its most likely a driver issue which is why some have had success with viper. For now I would not max out volume when using the phone just to protect the speakers and we will just have to wait and see if google releases a fix.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0701:
I sure hope that you and others who've said same are correct. If that is the case Google needs to get with it and push an image that fixes it asap.
