[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yah, this 01/05 build is the best one I've seen in 2 months. I did a reboot on day 2 to clear it out and make it snappy again and that worked great. On 01/01, I did the wipe dalvik & cache reboot but this time, I wanted to find out if the wipe is really what fixed it or did the reboot clear it up. I did the reboot only on 01/05 and that was it, reboot and away we go! I think if you try just a reboot to see instead of a wipe, you will get the same results.

Facebook is a total pig and although I have it installed, I almost never use it and also use the FB Messenger app. I keep that FB biatch totally knocked out in Greenify and it does wake up and work fine when I tap it and Greenify does allow it to sync and check messages. Just not all the time like it "wants to do". The Razr screen is a bit too small for me to use FB when I can use my PC or tablet. But I do use it when I need it on the phone. Phone runs much better when FB is put into hibernation.

Browsers. Now I am a Total Firefox Fanatic. Give me a browser and I want Firefox. Period. With the plugins of my choice, it is a no brainer custom browser that I cannot do without. So of course I installed Firefox on my Razr. Bad move, running Firefox on Android is like walking around all day with 80 Lbs of bricks in your backpack and pretending everything is okay. Since Firefox did not run very fast, I decided to use Chrome. Google makes Android, Google makes Chrome. It has to work good on Android, right?

Wrong, dead wrong! Chrome is just like Firefox. Big, bulky, and slow as hell. So if Firefox and Chrome are not very sleek browsers, then what else is there? I looked all over for popular Android browsers and I kept seeing Dolphin getting all these really high scores and reviews. I never heard of Dolphin but if everybody says it is so great, there must be something good about it. So I installed it. Wow, now *this* is a nice Android browser! Nice, loads quick, and runs fast. Sweet. And there are cool plugins for it too? No way. Yah, "way". I can even sync bookmarks with Dolphin Connect to Firefox or Chrome. After I saw the difference that Dolphin browser makes, I am sold on it. I would love to try it on a PC but it seems to be "an Android only thing". But it is good and if it speeds up this old XT912, I am all for it. :D

I am going to put CM11 in stock, too. I would have already done it with my 11/07 build, but the roms are getting good again so I want the latest one. The when I dump Jellybean and put CM11 on stock, I can make a decent extra rom slot to play with things like CM12. M13 will be it for sure, dude. You are right, now we get weekly builds because the rom is really already "done". The only reason they keep making builds for it is because of the wretched "com.android.phone FC from HELL" and to get it to actually run smooth again. I think that CM learned a lesson when they told us that M12 was the best build, install that one, yada, yada, yada, and they were SO wrong! M12 blew chunks! I think this time CM will test the last snapshot before telling us "it is the best" like they did with M12. LOL! :laugh:

Man I have not even installed Android L on my Razr. I don't have the room for another rom and I need a phone way to much to mess with Alpha software. Yeah, cool to play with and all, but I would not want to get stranded somewhere with CM12 as my only phone! And you cannot change the colors on it or nothing? Sounds like Alpha to me alright. Even Beta software is not a good idea if you need/want stability where everything works. Almost always Beta software is free, like Windows, but the release version is stable and expensive. And Windows Beta times out so you cannot "keep it".

Hey thanks for the feedback, Morr. It is good to hear from someone else running the rom to see if it is good for everybody or just "some of us". :good:
