[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Stargo Plays Brain it on! & CM update news...

Hahahahah! I asked stargo about the new roms and if there are any CM roms for it. And while at it, I hipped him on the physics game. A college student, major in computer science, you know he will want this game and he does! Michael just installed it so I don't know his progress yet, but it goes to show you, this is a "guy's game". :o

I wish that [MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION] would try it, but a lot of women that I know think that games are a total waste of time. I bet that Sherri would be really good at it too, if she wanted to try it out.

Gosh I miss Michael, have not talked to him in close to a year or something. He is a really good dev and even more decent guy. So for those who wonder how things are going, I can share with you all what I know...

Remember, this is AFAIK and is NOT "Official" so please do not quote me or Michael on this!

Stargo on CM roms:

Actually I signed off for the last official builds on CM ;) [This is CM11 Razr]

But I've decided that there will be no official snapshots for cm-12.0

as the performance is just too bad.

This is why I didn't want to use CM12 on the Razr. No snapshots because it is just not quite "there yet". That plus it never came out of the alpha stage. I just did not see enough proof that the rom was even "getting off the ground". Apparently stargo seems to agree and is dropping it. That plus Marshmallow coming in before Lollipop even got developed. You all *know* that CM is going to throw all of it's support behind whatever OS is current, more than previous versions. We all saw how quick CM11 was thrown under the bus. :(

So far as the Moto-X goes with CM, this is it:

The codename for the phone is clark and there seem to be some people

on XDA trying to build LP for it:

I haven't seen any discussion in CM internal channels about the

phone yet, but I would really be surprised if it were not to

be supported officially by CM in the near future.

And yes, currently everyone is concentrating on M, which still has

some way to go in its CM incarnation before it's ready for any device.

There ya go! No wonder there is no support for the Moto-X on Lollipop, now CM wants to jump on the Marshmallow bandwagon and of course they will. It would be suicide for a rom developer not to get on the latest OS there is. :(

I am pretty sure that the Moto-X will be able to run Marshmallow when it comes out.

Stargo gets a new phone:

Yeah, I've also "migrated" to the Motorola Photon Q (last hw-keyboard

android phone) but this one is still from 2012 (but has a faster

non-omap cpu).

Working on:

I'm still working on the Moto Omap4s when I find the time, I had M

booting already, but too much didn't work yet (like audio, calls,

mobile network, ...) and currently I have very little time to

work on it...

But I will get the phones up and running on M so you can play

around with the newest android on your old phone.

This is a big surprise to me. The performance of Lollipop on the OMAP4 devices is so bad that it is dropped, but we are taking on Marshmallow. So for you CM12 Razr guys, you might want to keep an eye on Marshmallow for the phones, I will for sure try it on my Razr if it gets out of alpha.

As for Brain it on!

Btw, the physics-game is really nice, thanks :)

Hah hah! I would *love* to see how far Stargo gets on Brain it on! He no doubt can probably Ace that game, but his time is rather limited... :laugh:

Unrelated but good for me, my client *loves* the new super horsepower laptop that I got for him and upgraded with SSD and did all the setup for him. He actually doubled my commission with another check! I really need it and I have 3 more jobs coming after this. :D

Well I really wanted to see the current state of rom development for the Razr and Moto-X and Michael is just the guy would would know. That and to share it with you guys so you will have an idea of what to concentrate on next for your roms. HTH everybody. Thanks a LOT for the game feedback! :)

Edit Game Report:

Wow, I just flew threw 6 levels to 15 and got 3 stars on ALL of them, in less than 5 minutes! I bad better not press my luck and stop now, too much to do. Go to the bank, dinner, and the store, plus check a website job. *Now* I see how you guys get so far ahead. Sometimes you just seem to "get on a roll" and can keep on flying. Has anyone seen the *3rd play level screen yet? (To play, not just look at.)

* I don't expect it nor do you have to prove it to me. Just trying to get an idea of how hard level 2 really is. :)

Keep 'em coming guys, give me something to compete with. You are all way ahead of me but given a chunk of time, I will catch up. :D
