Wow! Great performance & stability! For me it works better than 10.1.3 stable, it's amazing. I have found just one problem, for me gesture typing doesn't work, it shows the line where the finger has touched but any word is recognised. Anyone else havig the same problem?

No, mine was not "dead bricked". It got stuck in that endless encryption error from CWM. I never thought about it being totally dead and unable to enter fast boot. Good point and excellent bookmark/pdf file for me to make. Thanks!
Yeah i will have to get this in order to be back up and running.

My wifi was flaky at first, but a reboot fixed the flaky WiFi. I think it is a good idea to reboot and wipe after every install just cause. Seems to help things work more smoothly.
I did a fresh install and wifi was working decently. The speed wasn't very fast but figured that would work itself out. After reboot, wifi stays in "Turning on" loop. Tried wiping the Dalvik and rebooting multiple times but had no luck.

For me everything worked great , and no battery drainage. But when i went to sleep with 34% charge and woke up later. Xt912 was completely off, with zero battery left.

I'm using nightly #23 along 5 days and it has been working nearly to perfect. No issues with sound, SoDs, or freezes... No battery drainage, and no problem with SDcard or internal memory.

Installed using SS 3.65 in Stock Slot, with Dhacker29 Gapps, and last stable JBX, with default scheduler and governor, overcloked to 1300 MHz...

Love KitKat!! Thanks devs for your work. Finally we got KK stable!!

is there a way to flash the recovery via ap flash boot?
I think you hold down power button and Vol Down to get into APfastboot and you can use the DroidRazr Utility to go back to the OTA JellyBean release. You don't wanna restore ICS you'll be bricked for sure. Or you can try RSDlite and I think it uses this file *cdma_spyder_9.8.2O-72_VZW-16 But maybe someone else can better advise. Those RSD files are from May 2013

Really! It happens to the best of us. What did you do, Caleb? You were flashing on a low battery and just "for real" bricked it? Or just experimenting, messing around, having fun, that sort of stuff and got painted into a corner? Obviously this is not your one and only primary phone like mine is. I want to experiment like you but this really is "my phone", the monthly Verizon bill is not cheap, $150, and I cannot take extreme chances with it. Yes, I have the insurance w/$100 deductible and have used it before, but an extra hundred bucks I do not have. Probably will use it soon though.

I have a single crack in the front screen (digitizer) and ordered a $15 replacement. There are some good "How To" videos on youtube to replace this. I did it twice already with my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and it was not that difficult, even used a 1,600 watt hair dryer in lieu of a heat gun w/success. But the phone is a totally different animal. Don't even try it. There are hidden screws, super tiny torx screws and the tools you get do not come with this size torx. Internal stickers get torn that will destroy the appearance of the camera lens face, and disconnecting the battery in this one is near impossible. I am a 30 year electronic tech and I gave up, the phone is not "exactly" as it is in the video.

Maybe this is a little off topic but we are all sharing experiences here and I am interested in how Caleb really bricked his phone, what does it take to allow that to happen? Not having OS installed properly and letting battery die? It won't even charge after that? This is all good to know stuff and we are sharing it. I am giving this a bit of time to work up the courage to do this on my only phone, plus, every day there is a new, improved CM11 that is paying attention to this thread and addressing the issues. Already there are stable reports so within a week it might be a fairly simple flash or two, but for the jbx kernel, which we all want.

Since these Droid phones have a built in boot loader, I am surprised to hear that it can really be totally bricked w/out permanently damaging it. I am just wondering what it would take to really brick one of these phones so that I never do it myself. Thanks all.

I'm talking about that we don't need any of this features when using kexec ROMs. That's all.

And at least for me, SS works much stable that BMM by far.

What bothers me is how long it takes to reboot in SafeStrap it's seriously like several minutes due to virtual slots. While BMM is usually 45 seconds, I mean when you're flashing, adjusting Xposed modules, this and that... you are talking about an 30 minutes to an hour to update your phone from a clean wipe and get everything settled in. The minutes Add up. Plus if you're running CM nightlies everyday, it's crazy.

Normal boot takes about 1 min 40 secs, 2 mins maximum. And when I have to adjust Xposed modules, I use to Soft Reboot, that takes less time.

Of course a clean install with full wipe takes about 30 mins, but it doesn't matter the recovery you are using...

I have using BMM for a long time, and it is a good utility, but right now IMHO, Safestrap is better as far as it is being updated as Android does, and we have support from its developer.

Anyway, that's only my opinion. Everyone is free to use one or other option... At this point we can feel lucky to have the option to choose.

This thread has become ss vs bmm instead of bug reporting/solving...

Just a heads up. I was just alerted that a fix for the camera has been merged and will be apart of tomorrow's nightly.

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX Kernel
Really. So you are saying that cm-11-20131228-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip or later should at least fix the camera? I just checked the CyanogenMod Spyder downloads and such a download is not available as of yet. 1227 is available now. Any news if the WiFi AP issue has been addressed or is it still a matter of patching? I depend on that to run my tablet and not having it is a no go. The launcher apparently sucks, the Trebuchet launcher 1.0 was nice in 10.2, highly configurable, but it looks like now we will have to use Nova or Apex launchers.

I did a dirty flash as a Settings menu update just to see what it looks like and it was bad. WiFi AP seriously dysfunctional, appears to be some sort of DHCP problem and it starts out with very low broadcast power output but ramps up high in about 1 minute, still dysfunctional. I deleted the slot and went back to 10.2. There is a new nightly every day and they seem to address "some" issues. At some point, I think the release will be ready for prime time and 24/7 use, but what I see so far means I will be updating like every day, fresh from scratch, and it takes way too long to setup my phone the way I like it to keep up with these nightly releases. I want a good one I can use every day before I am willing to do this again.

If you got inside info dope on this release, do tell. Camera only fixed? WiFi PA? Launcher? Stability? Battery life? Performance? Hey, I will take whatever you have and be thankful for it. But I am waiting for something "good" before I go through all this crap again. Thanks.
