[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
...best? Overall? I am using the latest snapshot right now and find it to be pretty-darned-good. Prior to that it was Micheal's private, unofficial roms, his last one was very good. Now, we finally got the snapshot and, this is a good one. First time I have ever said I like this snapshot. But, if you think about it, this makes sense. Micheal is our OMAP4 developer, so ALL cm11 roms that we get for our phones comes from him. He works for CyanogenMod and is the our developer. So, this snapshot has to be Michael's build, and it would of course incorporate everything that is good in his latest unofficial snapshot with anything new or improved to boost performance. And so far, this snapshot delivers. This snapshot is only 6 days old so that is all the testing time we have in it. But it sure meets my approval and if there are any defects inherent, I have not found them yet. I think this snapshot is "IT", the one, the last, and the best.

I really cannot expect much more out of this aging hardware. It is way past EOL (End of the line) and the only thing stopping me from upgrading the phone is my service plan with Verizon. I get unlimited data for life but have to purchase my own phone at retail cost. These things now cost $700, that is a LOT of bread, man. I don't have it and I cannot get any "great deals" online, you are paying retail or close to it, even online. Unless you buy something older (which kind of defeats the upgrade) or something quite used. And even "quite used" is very expensive, if it is a hot, new model. I cannot go into Verizon and pay $200 for a new phone with a 2 year contract, those options *require* you to choose a new service plan. If I do that, the unlimited for life goes out the window. So when I get really lucky one day, I can finally upgrade to a decent, very fast and powerful phone. And, I cannot even see that option on the horizon at all.

...wait a minute. Someone in *here*, this newsgroup IIRC, pointed out a place, maybe here, where you can buy cellphones at good prices. It might be used phones or other members selling and swapping to get what they want or need. I really need to go through my bookmarks to find that post again or hope that someone comes here, reads this, and re-posts the link to the sales area again. I am watching SVU now and cannot take the time to look for it, but I will. That is pretty important because I cannot even imagine the day I will have $700 to spend on a new cellphone, but ½ that much or even slightly more might be a realistic possibility. I really want a Galaxy myself. The one from last year is rootable and pretty darned good.

* If anyone here knows of a cellphone sales link here at XDA, please post. Thanks.

This last snapshot is the best, IMHO, but if you are unsure and want something with a longer track record than 6 days, take Micheal's latest cm-11-20150522-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip rom, or pick the one you want, latest at bottom of the screen:

I think that about wraps it up. Good luck buddy! :good:

EDIT:

I think this was the sales link I got for good phones at good prices. The Galaxy S4 is $130-300 and that is pretty darned good. This bookmark is worth keeping and checking out. Yeah, this is it. Here is the article about it on XDA:
