Of course I will stay, Bob. You can be a total PITA sometimes, but it is NEVER malicious, you tend to shoot from the hip (Or more accurately, the Lip and it can be insulting), before thinking of how it will come out. Lot's of people do that, nothing to worry about it, as you mature, you gain the insight to realize what will happen if you say "this", or how it could turn out MUCH better if you say "that" instead. When we get older, we lose all that energy and health like when we were young, but God is not ruthless, we do gain an amazing insight that is almost "magical" in that we can almost "see into the future" and know what will happen, ...IF ;)

I actually miss quite a few of the features that CM11 gave me in that rom. There are no themes, no Performance menu, and lots of things you can customize with a CyanogenMod ROM I really miss on the stock rom. Nothing terrible and I can live quite happily with this, but I do want to rom this phone with CM12, but ONLY if it is stable. When a snapshot comes out for it, I will most likely try it out. TWRP is not "Safe Strap" so we do not get rom slots. But, we can make backups so what is to stop me from pimping out my rooted stock rom, then installing a rom and making a backup of that as well. Then, depending on what backup I restore, I could then have the ability to switch roms, much like Safe Strap, or so far as I know. Corrections here are welcome and appreciated if anyone knows this for sure.

Nope, I am going to stay right here, with my friends, and taking my turns at the help desk. And I do have a "Bobcus Leper" folder on my PC, under Devices, where I keep all of the very informative tidbits you have given me over the years. Path to your files:

C:\Users\paul\Devices\Droid Razr Maxx\Social Tips\Bobcus Leper\*.*

Since the Razr is sort of "decommissioned", I would not mind being a participant in testing Marshmallow or any other OS that Stargo requests. What Baldy told me is what I just checked with Verizon to verify. I can log in at Verizon, choose "My Devices", then "Activate or Switch Device". Since I left the original SIM card in the Razr because I did not want to actually "cut it with scissors" to fit the Moto-X, I have a SIM card in each phone. The SIM card was free.

There are two images attached. The first one is the rate hike for Verizon customers. The 2nd image is how you can change back and forth between devices if you feel or have the need to do so.

Not to worry my friend, I will be with you *always*! :highfive: :D

Anytime [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]. I'm glad I was able to help your search. I was actually surprised you hadn't heard about it. I get most of my info from http://droid-life.com. I will get the phone, just need some patience. Waiting to see if this job works out for me.

As for insurance, I know Square Trade has something that will cover phones, but it might just be repairs. I only had insurance on a phone once, and eventually got rid of it. Seemed like I was wasting money on it. But then, I literally watched my Dad drop his phone on a ceramic tile floor within the 1st week he had it. And he's also sent if for a swim a couple of times.

For those who want to get rid of the bootloader warning, there is a tool to help make and customize the file you need to replace in the thread, somewhere.

I'll probably be picking peoples brains about the xposed modules. I've only used the ad one and greenify. still relatively new to the whole scene. But I now know about the whole "thanks" thing. I really had only searched XDA for info before, never really interacted.

Well, later. I'm suppose to be entering some grades.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thank you very much for the help, [MENTION=6309629]dtiger1138[/MENTION]. The remove bootloader msg link is in this very post that you are replying to. If you need help with it, just ask. You need the phone, a PC, the drivers (Link provided on instruction page.), the Android SDK Platform tools (Link on page, easy install.), and the procedure. I got the modules working real well now. Quite a few for lollipop. Greenify works best if you enable the Xposed module for it and I have already done that. I am actually working with the EX Themer Xposed Module developer, [MENTION=4413589]vishal11in[/MENTION] to get his Ex Themer module working in Lollipop for the pretty signal icons. So far, he has a working module you can download in his thread. I sent him my systemui.apk and framework-res.apk files. There is an issue where it conflicts with CPUFreq in Statusbar.

Look at my screenshot, I have my pretty signal icons back again! :laugh:

There are so many Android mags that I don't know which ones to read. You are someone I know, am friends with, and trust. So if you say this Moto-X Pure is "The Phone" then I look into the specs, what is there, and what is missing. I got the shock of my life when I saw that *everything* * want is there and *nothing* was left out! Now that next gen Verizon crap really ruined the phone completely. They wrecked it so bad that it should have been given a new name not to confuse customers who want a good phone. And [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION] is right, you cannot get a rootable phone from Verizon anymore and AT&T is following suit.

Since I get hit with disasters I can not even imagine but get through them somehow, I decided this phone "was an emergency" and then, just got it done. Yes, it will be hard to clean up the mess but I am used to it. Only this time, I get a Moto-X Pure Edition out of the deal to keep that I unlocked, installed TWRP, rooted, and installed Xposed all in the first day! :D

Thanks for your support, Tigger. If not for you, this would never have happened. Gosh, I cannot keep my hands off this phone, I keep finding reasons to play with it. :laugh: :highfive:

Question for the group: If WiFi is turned on and I am at home, does all of the data I use now go through the WiFi or do I have to shut off cellular data to force all data over WiFi.

Any and all data, with the exception of sms/mms will go over Wi-Fi. My data resets on the 4th of the month. I'm on Wi-Fi 24/7 since I retired. So far this month I've used a whopping 0.017gb.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
I do more lurking than posting, both here and at another Razr centric site. I read a lot of threads, read the droid life articles, and kind of make up my own mind. The 2nd gen Moto X Pure was not bad at the time, but was available for CDMA networks only. As a long time VZW customer, that let me out, and I also had the 1st gen Moto X Developer Edition which was unlockable and rootable even on VZW. When this one was announced I figured what the heck, at age 73 this will probably be the last phone I buy so I jumped on it. This is the 1st time I ever had a "current" phone. I was a year late on the Droid X, and over a year late on the Razr. Loved then both and would not buy a phone that could not be rooted, do I hung on until I could find a VZW DE on swappa at a decent price. This time I jumped, and I'm not sorry I did. This phone is just right. Not too big, and not too small. Its powerful enough tio last a good 4 years without showing it's age, and will be updated to at least Android 6 (marshmallow).

Anyway, wherever this thread is, I'll follow it and pipe up if I can help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hah! I had a Droid X too! Loved it. [MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION] I got a question for you. I am having some serious issues since installing Xposed and some modules. The specifics I posted to one of the module threads because I thought that module was causing the issue. Details are in these two posts, one below the other:

Post #1951

Post #1952

To get Xposed installed on Lollipop, I had to flash the right file for this phone on the Lollipop Xposed Page Here. There are several files to choose from so I used CPUZ to ID the CPU and selected the file below to flash, prior to installing the Xposed Framework Installer, else it will not install w/out flashing the correct zip file first.

The problems are screen flashing on/off/on/off every second. Stops if I open an app, starts flashing on and off when app is closed. Or, screen will go black but for a tiny bit of the status bar and no way to get screen lit w/out rebooting. I thought it might be a bad module, but what if I flashed the wrong Xposed pre-file? Attached is my CPUZ CPU report to ID the processor. This is the file I flashed:

xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64.zip - [Click for QR Code] (5.66 MB, 58108 views)

Is this the same file you flashed? Did I flash the wrong Xposed file for this phone? Also attached is my module list. Some are unchecked but so far, this has not stopped the problem. There is a screenshot of the framework installer and the install/update & uninstall buttons are grayed out. Is that how your screen looks? If I have to go back and remove Xposed and start all over again, how to do it if framework cannot be uninstalled? Let me check the Razr, it has Xposed so I can see if buttons are grayed out. Something is really wrong, the Razr Framework buttons are not grayed out. Are yours grayed out Baldy?

Have you had any problems with Xposed or anything making the screen act wacky like flashing on and off or going black?

What do you think, how did you do your Xposed install? What files did you use? I might have a backup in TWRP before
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
I have had no problems with Xposed. I don't use APM as Gravitybox gives me the same power settings. I also don't have the progress bar module. I do use greenify, Moto X tether, and couple of others (crappa links, app ops and twisty).

I would try disabling modules one at a time till the problem goes away.

I am using the Xposed zip as you are.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
So you get the same power menu buttons with Gravity box? APM does make pretty colors that I like.

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I totally wrecked this phone in like 2 days. The self rebooting, screen flashing, and black screen was a sure indicator of a problem. The problem seemed to appear when I started with Xposed and yet, that seemed to work fine.

Is your Xposed Framework installer showing buttons for Install/Update & Uninstall or are they grayed out? On mine, the buttons were grayed out and non functional. Yet on the Razr, those buttons are not grayed out. I uninstalled the framework, rebooted, tried to reinstall it, failed. I downloaded the Xposed uninstall zip, flashed it, rebooted, went back to flash the Xposed file again in TWRP. Tried the regular arm file, failed, said wrong platform, use the x64 arm file, so I flashed it again, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, and tried to install the new alpha installer again, failed. Uh oh. My widgets were disappearing anytime I had that funky screen stuff, and even desktops were disappearing, the icons holding them open were gone, I guess. Tried to use the barcode for a fresh download of the Xposed file and it was black. The camera does not work anymore. Great.

I did make a TWRP backup as soon as I got the phone up and running, rooted withe recovery. It is all I have left and am doing the restore now. Oh what a headache this is, bro. Somehow this system got damaged pretty bad. This very first backup is all I got, fingers crossed. This restore should take me all the way back to when phone was first run, then I have to start making more backups.

Hmmm, Restore completed in 177 seconds. Let's reboot and see what we have to work with. God I am so nervous waiting on this boot! :eek:

OMG, it worked! Colored status bar icons, Xposed is installed. OMG the buttons to install or update are grayed out and I have nothing else to restore!

Come on Baldy, look at this screenshot and compare it to yours please! Are your buttons gray or not? I really need to know if this is normal because there is no way to remove Xposed if something is wrong with it otherwise. Check and get back to me if you can soon. Thanks!

EDIT: [MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION] one of the module devs who makes the Android Theme Engine (Formally EX Themer [KK]) told me the gray buttons are normal for Lollipop. I must have done something else wrong. Restored my backup and will try taking things a little slower this time. Everything is working right so I will make another backup now. Wow, that was a very scary 3 hours spent. Late, I am tired, and gosh I have to buy some Halloween candy for tonight. Take care and thanks! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
You didn't want to try Lollipop on Razr,that's why you don't know about grayed out buttons :p

That's normal in Lollipop,don't worry :)

Here is one useful thread,the list of working and non-working modules in LP 5.1 ;)

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION],

Sorry, went to bed early last nite. Glad you got your answer on the greyed out buttons. That's normal, as you can only install/update by flashing a zip now. You might want to grab the uninstaller script for emergencies. If you do something in exposed that causes you to bootloop, you can flash that and remove Xposed to get back.

I'm very cautious about what modules I install under lollipop, cause a lot of then don't work correctly, or cause problems only on certain hardware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
One more tip regarding bootloop...

Somethimes some module isn't compatible with the Xposed and the phone goes into a bootloop.You don't have to reflash your rom,just go to the file manager in Safestrap (TWRP) and delete "modules.list" which is located in data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/ folder.

Or sometimes Xposed can stop working,it creates the "disabled" file in the same path,just delete it. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I've never been able to access that in the SafeStrap file manager. But with the latest xposed for 5.1, a lot is working, and all the modules I need do work now. So I don't really risk trying new ones anyway.

I just backed up my ROM earlier since xposed isn't wanting to work for some reason (bootloop). Tried it out, still didn't work and then just flashed the xposed uninstaller and didn't need to restore or reflash.

But for the most part, xposed for 5.1 is stable enough. Have fun [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION].

You didn't tried LP because there wasn't CM Snapshot build?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I'm kinda with [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] with CM on the razr. At the time I rooted, which was just to keep the phone functional, CM was really the only rom I knew anything about. Once I became more comfortable with it and what I was doing, I considered trying other roms. But then I guess I went with the line of thought of, "if it's not broke, why fix it." Yes there might be other roms that are great, but this gets the job done, and it's only a matter of time till I do get a new phone. Ultimately, that's why I haven't tried anything else, other then the fact that I made the partitions a little bigger the last time I installed it, and I don't think there's enough room to hold another slot for a rom.

I'm just waiting till I can snag the Moto X Pure. It works, sometimes the tap and wait is a little annoying, but I get by.

I have run nova pro on this phone since I got it. I hadn't had a problem yet. The free version I'd just as good of you don't use gestures (which I don't, I just bought pro to support them.) Give it a try, can't hurt.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Okay, that is worth a try. I still have to learn more about this phone before I change anything like the launcher. I am making too many mistakes by rushing into things. But sure, it is worth a try. Thanks for the tip my friend.

NOTE: I am very generous with the Thanks tokens and would give you one for this post, but I already gave out the 8 per day that I am allowed. But it is a good tip from someone with experience and it does not get much better than this. Thank you my friend! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
I don't worry about the thanks, mainly because I lurk more than I post, which is also why I give out so few. Will have to be more conscious of that in the future.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I'm like you, read, learn, comment here and there, and try to contribute when I think it may be of help.

What? You can only give out 8 per day? that sounds kinda stingy. is it they don't want people getting boosted for commenting nonsense about pink elephants they saw the night before?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
First.... [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], you can not mess up anything by installing a launcher. It does nothing "internal". If you don't like it, Uninstall it. It's just an app.

Second, you are right, I like my led light. I like glancing at my phone from across the room, see a flashing purple light, know it's a text, and decide what to do. Green, email. Blue, twitter.... Nothing comes close. This started with my OG Droid, which is kept in a dock. That phone automatically turns into a desk top clock (due to the magnet in the custom built dock for it....). When in this mode, it uses full screen. If I was in the room and I have sounds set for notifications, no problem. If I was out of room and missed the sound, I don't know if I had a message. I could miss a call from kids, messages, etc.... Also... I do not want sounds for notifications. Don't need every Facebook update, tweet, Instagram message, etc... to be heard by an office. Led blinks tells me what I need without interrupting anything else...

Last, it's AOKP (Android Open Kang Project), not AKOP....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], as for the led lighting up with the screen on, it does in the last AOKP ROM by [MENTION=5709478]tonyt.[/MENTION] (4.4.4)...CM reintroduced thus feature in CM12, and as stated earlier and elsewhere, since most ROMs are based off CM, many have reintroduced in their 5.1 versions as well. For ROMs (and I assume anyone staying on a stock 5.1 ROM with a phone that is capable of a blinking led) there is a great module to enable the feature.

Anyway... Enjoy your new toy! Eventually I'll break down and get something else!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Ghost is the code name for the OG Moto X. Code name for ours is Clark.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Awesome, good looking out, Baldy! Your hints and tips have been very valuable, my friend. I now have WiFi setup to turn on at home, Titanium Backup alone moves up to 3 GB to Dropbox, G Drive, and Box. Thank God I made that change! But upping the data over AT&T Internet and WiFi is slow as hell. 5 or 6 hours later it is barely ½ done. At least I don't get charged for it now. ;)

Thanks! :highfive:

EDIT: I wonder if there is any sort of Ethernet to Micro USB adapter that would allow the phone to use internet from home over Ethernet and if that would improve the upload speed? The phone was uploading around 200 Kbps, pitifully slow. This DSL is not the same as cable but a speed test now is very disappointing, 6.36 Mbps and 1.94 Mbps up. I don't think it has ever been this bad, I think I will call AT&T about this issue. Still, the phone should upload faster than that over WiFi. :(

EDIT 2:

I just did a batch backup to Gdrive and wow, I got over 2 Gb done in what, less than 3 hours? I did not bother to check upload speed but clearly, the dropbox upload was terribly slow but the Gdrive worked just fine. That is a relief! ;)

Cool Boot animation - Geeky

This is something that appears in the ad section on the right side of your browser window when in XDA, it is called Live Boot, and I think this is pretty interesting. For now. It is a bit of a novelty but it really is the actual dmesg and boot log of your device, as it starts up and loads Android. I always did like the Linux boot screen much better than that of a Windows machine because who really knows what is going on under that "Starting Windows" screen, especially if the darned thing does not boot or takes too long?

With Linux, you get to see all of that stuff. Each daemon as it starts up. The hard disk check and mounting, what process run and which, if any, fail during the boot process. This is a live animation of the actual Android boot process by Chainfire, the guy who makes SuperSU. There is a Pro version but not something I would likely buy. After all, it is only the actual boot screen and you can save it to log if need be to look at later in the free version. It is color coded to show what is going on and also, it is a very tiny font. To actually read it as it goes by, I do have to put on my glasses, but I like to know what is going on. The developer does warn it might now work on all devices and there is a test to see if it will work. The chance of a boot loop is extremely low but he tells you what file to remove in recovery to remove it. Also, it might be overwritten if you update your rom, so you might need to install it again.

So it is a novelty, the kind that would appeal to some serious Android and Linux geeks, but I think it is pretty cool. If you would like to see more, there is the short article to read and the play store links below. It works on Marshmallow and Kit Kat. This might appeal to [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION]. Have fun! :D

I *knew* you would really dig, this, man. But you are like, months ahead of me! :)

Did you have SuperSU installed? Chainfire says that you need it to run the thing. And did it install the boot script? Well, Chainfire does say it does not work on all devices and just "might not work", or it might not have worked on the new kernel setting or the Razr, I still have my old Razr and can check for you if it matters, dude. But thanks to the thread if it really don't work on Razrs!
