[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh dude, I am exactly like you man. I can no way afford a new phone at all. So I am stuck with my XT912 also. But this one is not very old. I had lost my LTE chip and got a factory refurb with insurance. You know, even though a phone is pretty much dead and buried by the time 3 years goes by, this phone did cost $600 and it is a very smart, smart phone. Just not as powerful or fast as the new ones. With that in mind, there are a LOT of things our phones can still do. I can stream audio and video, use and broadcast WiFi, use Bluetooth, GPS, Maps, and Navigation. Of course it is a very good phone, with all apps available it can be a calculator, stopwatch, unit converter, game center, newspaper, books, or magazine, watch HDTV, movies, and videos. Play music, compass, email and text, HD camera and video camcorder, send and receive pictures, music, video, and files. I could go on and on here, but you get the idea, these Droid Razr phones can really do a LOT of stuff.

I would love a new phone but darned sure no Turbo. There is no root for it and there most likely never will be. Only way I know to root that Turbo is to purchase a developer edition phone, if you can get it, at full retail of $700. Motorla/VZW phone roots rely on a very good developer finding some file or folder with a weakness in it's permissions so that they can sneak the su binaries on it and I bet you dollars to donuts that Motorola went over that phone with a fine tooth comb several times to make absolutely sure that no file or folder has write permission anywhere in the system. :(

I would really dig seeing Lollipop on my phone but the hardware does not support it. Stargo is one of the best, most ambitious devs I have ever seen. He got it running on an Droid, but never accomplished the Full Monty and I don't think it can be done. Even in his last post he said it can't be done. The boot-loader is wrong, it must have Selinux and encryption, and other sorts of hardware that do not exist in the device to run Lollipop and cannot be "added". Exactly like trying to run Windows 8 on an Win95 PC. Windows 8 might require a minimum of 4GB DDR3 RAM and a Win98 PC can hold 1GB of SDRAM, tops. You cannot "add more ram" because the board and system cannot hold it or would recognize it.

...I just went back and re-read stargo's last post. I really have to give him credit for "trying the impossible" and for how very far he got. What a guy! :)

M12 is for sure laggy. I got it the next day after installing it, so bad that the phone was not usable. And I am not sure why that is or how to fix it. My system is already cleaned up, things removed, other stuff frozen, Greenifying almost everything. What could be lagging it up that bad? Trim helps with that but I don't know if Trim can fix the lag in M12. Do you have M12 on Stock? If so, can you try LagFix to run Trim and report if it made a difference, at all, even if slight? Man that would help an awful lot, Morr.

LOL, you want "a little more" out of the rom. You mean in general, like always on the lookout for something better, or like, CM11 when it runs right, is missing something you think should be there? Like what? I cannot think of any "rom feature" missing in cm11. CM11 is a very full featured rom, more so than anything else I have seen. Other roms can be quite a bit different and be different than CM11, but those are differences, not "missing features", I think.

You know what Morr? You and I are on the same page here. We both are "married to this Droid" for the long haul. Anything we can do to help out or tip off the other would be a good thing. Like if you got CM11 on stock, I would really like to know if trim makes any noticeable difference. If the rom is slow from the moment of install then I don't think trim would help. But if the rom develops lag as time goes by, then yeah, that is exactly what trim is for. I am having great luck with the 11/07 build. Have you tried that in comparison to M12 so far as performance? For me, the difference is "Night and Day". There are no features or improvements in one rom over the other as development progress on CM11 for OMAP4 stopped when November started. Builds kept coming but AFAIK, they are bug fixes and designed to help with issues like the dreaded com.android.phone FC. What do you think? Can you give 11/08 a try to compare and see if one is definitely better than the other for performance? I can multitask within reason on 11/08, not M12. Do you need/have/want a copy of cm-11-20141107-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip? The download link works if you want to give it a try and I do have some other November roms if you want.

As far as I know, the cm11 roms went South for me on 11/11. That was the the little Nightly rom that just "couldn't", unlike the ones before that were the little Nightly roms that could. LOL! :laugh:

Oh gosh, I have to stop now and make dinner. Nice talking to you, Morr! :cowboy:
