Interesting. They show the spyder build as "Failed". The only successful one was the "yuga" build and that is not for our phones. But good to know and bookmark. Goodnight my friend.

BMM? Or SafeStrap? There's an issue with BMM.

If so switch to SS or there were BMM workaround instructions earlier in the thread.

Hey folks. I've got a problem with three last builds. I've NO Deep sleep. Roms simply refuse to sleep. Running latest JBX,tried almost all governors. It ran with no problem before. Any ideas? My battery is bleeding because of this.
Thanks.

I'm running the newest nightly available (12.27) and have great battery with JBX straight from flash, left on default settings... Are you on a fresh install, or are you on x-# of dirty flashes?

Guys. Im using cm11 on my xt910 maxx but, im using ST 3.65. I dont like the idea to flash only 1gb of my internal memory and keep the older stock rom.

Its possible to full flash with the cm11 with all my internal storage and using no more the ST?

Thanks.

Just flash on Stock Slot.

For my last couple of builds, all pictures on social networking and whatnot have been slow to load or do not load at all. My camera is force closing and I can't use it at all, and every time I try using the CM Updater to flash a new nightly, it doesn't let me download. I'm currently on CM 11 12/27 but I've tried with many other nightlies as well

Thank you hakarune

So I saw a few post and questions about CM11 and also about bug fixes; I thought I'd consolidate everything into one post, maybe @ktimque can add this to the OP.

OMG, this is an awesome post. Isolating it by itself to make an Acrobat file of it with active URLS. Lots of thank yous going to hakarune for this right on time, incredibly necessary post!

One thing I think you left out of this FAQ is the fact that the CM11 launcher is so bad that users will probably want to install Apex or Nova launchers.

I was one of the guys doing a lot of the bitching. The fact that we really do need this FAQ just on how to install it, run it, keep it running, and workaround bugs shows just how poor this build is. I am not blaming the developers, I have no idea of what they are up against to produce this ROM.

In case I did not make this clear, Thank You, Thank You hakarune for this incredibly useful post!

I have to ***** a little bit here and ask a few questions. I have never seen a ROM that was so difficult to install, so many patches necessary, and so many bugs to "work around" before. It begins to stretch the limits on credibility of how useful this really is. We have phones, most of us on CM10.2 by now and everything works, pretty much. Good for day to day use. Now 11 comes along and I want to give WiFi to my friend's tablet and mine but, "Oh gosh, I have to toggle airplane on and off first", or worse, driving in the car, for sure need GPS, but have to pull over, reboot to Safe Strap, wipe caches, reboot again to CM11, download GPS data again and then we can continue driving? I hope nobody tries this at a red light. :silly:

Worse, on the way to the doctor, I am running late due to traffic, so I call the office to let them know. But wait, complete loss of service so I must reboot to SS, wipe Dalvik+cache, boot to Stock and acquire signal, boot back to CM11, and if that don't work, use Matt's Utility to reinstall Safe Strap, and then boot back to CM11. (Well, I could just reboot to stock, which for me IS DROID RAZR Utility XT912, and make the call from there.)

I am not complaining or in any way ungrateful to hakarune for this incredibly useful post, but I am drawing attention to just how bad CM11 is right now if this is what a cellphone owner who pays VZW $150/Mo for has to put up with.

I keep Matt's DROID RAZR Utility XT912 on two computers, one Windows and one Linux, plus that is my stock ROM, THAT is how important it is. I am just overwhelmed with all the fuss necessary to install and actually use CM11. I am not talking from actual experience, I did a "dirty update" from CM10.2 and of course, it sucked. I had to delete and recreate rom slot 1 to get 10.2 from SS backup installed w/out rebooting every day or apps crashing.

Again, thank you hakarune, this is a very timely post. But note to developers and especially users:
Just how bad do you want this thing and what are the numerous and large benefits do you/we expect to gain by this update? I've heard battery life, anything else good about it?

Thank you for your time gentlemen and ladies. This post is one giant thank you to hakarune and a review of the CM11 update as it stands. More or less a thank you and survey all rolled up in one.

* Before anyone jumps all over me and points out that Experimental and Nightly Builds are NOT stable, if you want stable, stick with a stable release. I get that point. But hey, I want to play in the sandbox with all the rest of you kids too. I simply had no idea my mother would beat the tar out of me for coming home covered in mud from the "mucky" sandbox. LOL!

What benefits are you all gaining from this CM11 update to make it worth this much hassle?​

Thank you for your time. I have to add the Apex and Nova notes to my memorialized pdf file of hakarune's magnificent post. :good:

Stop whining Ohmster, since you are here all i see is complaints. People make roms for themselves and it is up to you wether you will use them or not, they just share them here.

Flash BlackWidow ( http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/7826-rom-black-widow-hdish-v2-31713/ ) if you want fully working JB USA rom.
Flash ArtMod CN if you use your razr in EU or Asia or Japan.
Flash ArtMod improved light if you want to use your EU device in EU with CID.

Let me ask you what do you benefit with CM10.2 (which iy soo good in your opinion) against stock JB ota ?

 

[uan]

They used to have another separate forum for user to whine, complaint, bitching or whatever. But not at this forum for devs.

I think we really need that now...

Awwwww, I knew this was coming. I forgot to add in that I will join all of you and install this myself when I get a good 8 hours or so to do this. I will need at least that much time because when I start a project like this, I want to at least get it done, customize it later. After every reboot, the setup wizard will want me to add accounts, Google will begin the re-population script, and I have more zips to flash.

Please don't bash me too hard. I want this just as bad as you do. But *somebody* has to sum it all up and look at the big picture. That is what liberals are for. (BTW, I am not a liberal.)

By the way, my posts are not all complaints. I have numbers on my Thanks meter, put in my time, help other people, and do share the benefits of my experience with others.

FYI: I am in the US, use Verizon Wireless, CDMA, on a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT912. What do I like about 10.2 over stock? Lots of things. The phone runs a lot smoother, the launcher is incredibly customizable, I can kiss almost all of the bloatware from Verizon goodby, I don't miss Touch Wiz at all, and I like the fact that CM now gives you an account and for the first time for me, a custom ROM now offers OTA updates. I think that is an awful lot to appreciate.

hakarune did a really darned good thing. He sees the complaints, questions, failed attempts, and decided on his own to write a more or less "How To" in order to install and use CM11. I really do appreciate that and will use it as a road map for my install. I will give CM11 a fair chance. I will ready a roms slot and install it fresh and squeaky clean w/gapp, and jbx kernel.

I know it sounds like a lot of whining. Maybe to some, that is all it is. To me, it is a fair question. For those that have it installed and enjoy it, what improvements do you have? Thanks for the links. I will keep them for future reference. But I do want to stick with CM roms. I really do think they are the best ones out there, for me. I am just getting the feeling that CM11 is an early beta, and early beta releases are prone to bugs. It reminds me of wanting Quake and Doom real bad when I was a kid that I would grab Alpha version leaks just to try it out and of course, they really were not "playable" in Alpha or even early beta stages. I wasted a lot of time just "wanting them to work" before they were ready, that's all.

Unlike some other folks, I do not have two or more cellphones to experiment with. This is my one and only phone that I need 24/7 for work and communication. But I am a "tecchie" and a "geek" too and I want to play with some of the new stuff. It is not all bad, Safe Strap is pretty darned good so I can always boot back to a stable stock rom.

So please do not take this as whining and bitching. All I want to know is from people who have installed it properly, how good is it? Apparently Kit Kat is replacing Jellybean and some say that it runs on ART and that has to be enabled in developer options and it does not work. I want a clear picture. Caleb gave an excellent review and did much to boost my confidence in installing and running this rom. He gave me a step by step and I appreciate that. Hakarune pointed out all known issues with the release and how to deal with them. That was a wakeup call for me. "Gee, maybe I had better wait this out and see if a more stable release comes out first". That was supposed to be the 1228 build that failed.

I am not "whining" as you may think, I just want to know if enough people have it installed and are able to use it 24/7 in a stable manor. And to let others know that this build "may not be a walk in the park". That's all.

I am dying to see this work just like the rest of you and will install it properly to find out for myself. Thanks for the links, take care buddy. :laugh:

No more whining, I promise. Just looking for a clear picture and some feedback from those with a successful install they are happy with. And already they are coming in.:laugh:

 

[moset]

It might help to remember that CM 11 was not going to be supported on RAZR at all. Also Motorola is not planning to upgrade RAZR at all.
I look here for information about the state of development of CM11 and weather the few problems I'm having are known bugs or if I have done something wrong that I can fix.
I fully expect there to be problems. I'm not sure if those working to fix the problems look here, I think some do, but I really don't see how rants can be helpful.
It's so easy to complain about things that don't work, fixing them is quite another thing.
I appreciate the help I've gotten here and see no value in bashing the product of the efforts of so many.

Thanks to all who have stuck with this EOL device and who are willing to help us less technical folks get by and enjoy the latest OS on this soon to be a relic device.

Yeah. The XT912 is a two year old phone. In today's world, that is like a decade. New, faster, bigger, and better phones come out every few months. Wish I could afford a new one every 6 months but plans lock you to a phone for 2 years, plus they do cost a lot of money. I heard that CMDA was being dropped from CM development. Apparently not and that is a good thing for us.

I am not "the best with words" on how to say things. I didn't mean to bash anybody, but do want to know if enough folks out there are having a good experience with the build. Apparently there are. The XT912 US version seems to be doing well if installed properly and that is good news.

If anybody out there is offended by my review and post, I didn't mean it that way and if anyone is offended, I apologize. Can't be more upfront and sincere than that, folks. Have a good one, talk to you all later.

 

[control187]

Ohmster, no one here wants to bash, but we can't really complain about a few hiccups in a relatively new ROM. I don't know if you flashed the 4.3 or 4.2 ROMs at all, but there just as many nightlies when those started fixing little bugs here and there.

Someone said it perfectly a while back, if you want a stable KitKat ROM just wait until the bugs get worked out in a month or so. Till then use a 4.3 ROM.

True.. Sometimes a guy should just plan on using Matts utility a couple times a year. Especially if you flash the way I do.

[tydiamond11]

My phone did not run well at all on the cm10.2 it never worked with 3g and they fixed it on cm11. Also sure some things worked. The real stable rom better than stock was cm10.1.3 that is the bomb if you want a very stable rom. for me my cm11 was great i can work around the issues. This is just know issues people i believe there should be less talk and more work or waiting quietly. Please be patient.

Yeah, I went through the CM10.1, 10.2 process, it was not stable at first release. As a rule during that period, I would not install anything but stable releases. No nightlies, no experimental, none of that stuff. I wanted a phone that worked all the time. I heard about ICS and wanted that pretty bad. I think I was on gingerbread back then. And I had to wait a while to get a stable ics release, but it was all that and a bag of chips. Then came Jellybean and Verizon would not OTA it like, forever. I was getting tired of waiting on Verizon or Motorola, Samsung was way ahead of the game already. I think that the DROID RAZR Utility XT912 was my first really good jellybean experience. I keep that utility around all the time because I soft bricked the phone several times playing with CWM ROM Manager. The RAZER Utility and AP Fastboot was the only way out of it for me.

I am at 4.3.1 now and am pretty happy with it. That came w/CM10.2. I tried to dirty flash it and do anything to avoid a factory reset, but the truth was to do it right, bite the bullet and install clean. So I did. Then over the next several days and weeks, I added accounts, setup my desktops, and did everything to make all work like Pandora, Slacker, Facebook, and all that. Phone is starting to choke now w/so many apps that refuse to "close" when not being used. They update constantly and require more resources. App Killer did not really help since these apps would self start again immediately. "Let's Golf 3" actually had No EXIT option. It ran all the time whether you used it or not. Then I found out a whole bunch of stuff runs all the time whether you want it or not. This Android is a new creature, not like a PC at all! I had a lot to learn.

Greenify really helped with the choking phone, a LOT. I dumped all the games that would not ever quit and wanted me to actually "pay cash money" in exchange for slot tokens or the next round of Golf! You have got to be kidding me, right? Wow! So 4.3.1 is quite nice with Greenify, actually. So good that I bought the donation version of Greenify. I can finally put Facebook to sleep when I don't need to be interrupted because someone I do not care about on a daily basis sends me an invitation to play "Farmville" or some other such nonsense.

From what I am beginning to understand is that CM11 works quite well on the XT912 if installed properly. Yeah, bite the bullet and go full reset, again, but probably worth it. Will have to do it sooner or later. And, Greenify works quite well on it.

So to answer your statement, I will install CM11 again properly, either when I have enough free hours in a row to do it or when a more stable release comes out. Probably the former. Wish I had enough SD card space to keep both stock and CM10.2 and try CM11, but it does not look that way. 10.2 is backed up and will be sacrificed to give CM11 a fair chance. I hope it comes out as nice as the people who have it say it is.

Thanks for the heads up!

...really? I think you are right about 10.1.3 being the most stable. With 10.2, I have no idea of how many G I am getting because there is no indicator of such data states. Just "LTE and some bars". I know I am getting high speed broadband because when the power went out for the night, I used WiFi Tether to watch Netflix in HD on my laptop for most of the night. Without high G data, you get a lot of pixelation in the video while full screen and it looks bad. You know what, I got FCC Speed Test on my 10.2 now, let's do a speed test.

Download: 14.48 Mbps
Upload: 14.34 Mbps
Latency: 71 ms
Signal Strength: -111 dBm

Uhhh, that is not slow, dude. Wow, I can't believe that upload is that high. On Cable I get about 34 Mbps down and about 4.5 Mbps up. I don't know how many "G" that is but it is better than DSL and in the mid cablemodem range. I wish there were a way to tell what G band you are running on like in stock. Is it showing in CM11 or no? Have you tried a speed test?

This is just intermediate discussion. I got my rants out already. :laugh:
