[Motorola Droid RAZR] Quantumstate:
Oh no. No GPS. The radio's on, but any app that wants it, FCs. Maybe a kernel module. Another firmware I tried has this also. (forgot which one)

Also on boot and login it gives a popup which says, "Unknown SIM card detected", probably from a VZN module or app. Hit OK and it works fine though, so no harm done.

Those who are new to BMM should know that you get a 'multiboot system'. Not just dual-boot, but six-way boot, so you can try any firmware you want, simultaneously installed. SafeStrap is a poor cousin compared with this. Whirleyes has given us a marvelous tool. Most slots are 'virtual devices' (slots 3-6), essentially just a file which is mounted as a disk ( in loopback) which contains the filesystem. These are all stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/virtual. Slot 2 is a special case (Webtop), and only has to be activated.

To use them you must first set them up. These instructions are no where else that I could find. Reboot into BMM Recovery and hit Settings. Choose System_2 and Activate. Back.

If you want to activate other slots, you have to create their image files -- select System_3. Boot Mode, and make sure all are Xed. (unless you want to install MIUI, in which case only Insecure ADB should be Xed) This makes all boot methods available to the system, so it can choose the appropriate one. Back. Partition setup. Now set up system.img, data.img, and cache.img. It's important to make each of these large enough so that you won't eventually run out of space, and yet not so large as to take up too much of your /sdcard flash. In general this is plenty:

/system 800

/data 650

/cache 300

Now you've created the image files in /sdcard/clockworkmod/virtual. If you want to install more firmwares, set up slots 4-6. Back out to the top level of Recovery (where it's trying to time out (to boot) and hit Recovery. FIRST ALWAYS choose the slot you want to modify. Then go into Mounts & format and mount /system /data and /cache. Format each. This deletes any existing files, so there's no conflict. Back out and hit 'Wipe & clean'. Wipe all four. Back out and 'Install zip package'. 'Install zip from storage' defaults to the external SD card. (/sdcard-ext). But if you did a normal download of your zip file, it will have gone into the internal /sdcard/Downloads directory, so you will need to 'Change zip file location' and choose /int. In the directory use your Menu hardkey for 'down' and Home hardkey for 'up'. Use the Search hardkey for 'select'. Install your firmware and gapps (unless Catalyst, which includes them). Back out and Wipe cache and dalvik again, back out and reboot. You can choose any slot to boot to by hitting the android-with-gears. I wish it was possible to rename the slots, but it's not anymore AFAICT.

I wish these instructions had been pinned at the top when I was starting... would have saved me days of fiddling. I'd make a tutorial post, but this would force me to research how to install BMM (and probably stock), and I don't know if anyone cares.

Privacy? I know, alot have given up. But I always, always uninstall any app with the words 'Google' and 'transport', 'sync', 'backup', etc, as well as One-Time Init, Partner Setup, etc. We need Play, in order to install apps, and Services Framework is necessary for other functions. (messaging, et al) But Voice, Maps, Google+, all those other conveniences go out the window for me. And I install Android Firewall, which uses iptables to prevent any apps except those I absolutely need, from contacting The Internets. (Play never gets permission, so I have to take down the firewall with the widget to use that -- who knows what it might be whispering to Mama) I always remove the G**gle apps -first- before I restore any of my data. I backup and restore my call logs, SMS, apps, calendars, bookmarks, etc locally, using Super Backup. I change Super Backup to use the external SD card (/sdcard-ext/Backups/SuperBackup), as the internal flash can be wiped in some circumstances like using fastboot to install a stock firmware. Any slot can access your backups. I also have Tit(anium) set to /sdcard-ext/Backups.

Just some ideas for those who don't trust thatsearchengineeveryoneuses. BTW, IXQuick.com is every bit as good.
