[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
My dear friend moset, you are taking both of our comments out of context. "Unacceptable" for a finished product or release, yes of course. "Unacceptable" for a work in progress, in a development as fine as CM11, well, no way. It is, after all, a work in progress. Motorola or Verizon would never get away with a final release that contained issues like this, and for that very reason, we get stuck with outdated, memory hog, must replace with more powerful phones every 2 years, operating systems. Their tech assist lines would ring off the hook, they would have to hire on more staff, and be bombarded with returns and refunds. So, as fine as a development as CM11 is, no way would a major manufacturer release it on a retail product.

For me, CM11 is an amazing work of pure magic. I am so mystified and amazed at how well it manages the issue that has bugged the crap out of me for years. "Built in obsolescence". Where you spend a LOT of money to get a top of the line phone. It is fast, it is amazing, it is the likes of which you have never seen before. You are taken in by it's speed and response, so you buy it and sign on the dotted line to avoid paying full retail for the product, for a good top of the line smartphone, is $600. You have apps. You find apps that are so useful and necessary, you install them. Every day it seems, they are updating themselves. Growing larger, becoming more demanding upon the CPU and memory available. The apps literally consume the entire phone in about 2 years. By that time, if you had to make a 911 call to save your life within seconds, you would be dead. Because Facebook has taken all the memory, "Let's Golf 3", with all of it's amazing graphics, refuses to EVER quit, end, or exit. Along with 20 to over 100 other apps that never seem to know when to GO TO BED!

I bought and paid for Greenify because it seemed to at least be able to tame this horrible issue and give me back some of the use of my phone that has long since been gone. But CM11 has that issue whipped, once and for all. I use Micro CPU Meter and monitor my CPU use. In past roms, it has nearly always been pinned or near pinned, thus rendering the phone near useless most of the time. By the time you got maps up and running, you reached your destination by sheer luck or fumbling around. You could never make "a quick call". CM11 kicked that issue square in the ass and put an end to it, once and for all. OMG, it is MY phone once again, waiting like a precious pet, to make me happy and fulfill my wishes.

I have Jellybean on my stock rom slot and it works perfectly. Never need to reboot it, never lose signal, WiFi, GPS, always works. But has the "fight for crucial memory issue" with installed apps. I could run Jellybean and never have to reboot, but I don't. I run nothing but CM11, you would have to pry it out of my dead fingers, THAT is how much I love and adore this project. These devs have my undying admiration and at any time I would be willing to install a special test build and submit reports or perform test upon request from any dev that asks for it.

Make no mistake Moset. I LOVE CM11 and use it every day. Only "Unacceptable" for STABLE or RELEASE version, which clearly it is not. I ***** and grumble from time to time to give the devs "some idea" of what is frustrating the average bear, not to make anybody feel bad or to genuinely complain about something I got for nothing. I really would love to see an end to this USB chokepoint issue and Micheal and others are working on it. I made my issue known and I am *always* careful to heap on plenty of praise for the fine work that has been and is being done. These guys deserve praise and thanks, they earned it. ;)
