[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, I went through the CM10.1, 10.2 process, it was not stable at first release. As a rule during that period, I would not install anything but stable releases. No nightlies, no experimental, none of that stuff. I wanted a phone that worked all the time. I heard about ICS and wanted that pretty bad. I think I was on gingerbread back then. And I had to wait a while to get a stable ics release, but it was all that and a bag of chips. Then came Jellybean and Verizon would not OTA it like, forever. I was getting tired of waiting on Verizon or Motorola, Samsung was way ahead of the game already. I think that the DROID RAZR Utility XT912 was my first really good jellybean experience. I keep that utility around all the time because I soft bricked the phone several times playing with CWM ROM Manager. The RAZER Utility and AP Fastboot was the only way out of it for me.

I am at 4.3.1 now and am pretty happy with it. That came w/CM10.2. I tried to dirty flash it and do anything to avoid a factory reset, but the truth was to do it right, bite the bullet and install clean. So I did. Then over the next several days and weeks, I added accounts, setup my desktops, and did everything to make all work like Pandora, Slacker, Facebook, and all that. Phone is starting to choke now w/so many apps that refuse to "close" when not being used. They update constantly and require more resources. App Killer did not really help since these apps would self start again immediately. "Let's Golf 3" actually had No EXIT option. It ran all the time whether you used it or not. Then I found out a whole bunch of stuff runs all the time whether you want it or not. This Android is a new creature, not like a PC at all! I had a lot to learn.

Greenify really helped with the choking phone, a LOT. I dumped all the games that would not ever quit and wanted me to actually "pay cash money" in exchange for slot tokens or the next round of Golf! You have got to be kidding me, right? Wow! So 4.3.1 is quite nice with Greenify, actually. So good that I bought the donation version of Greenify. I can finally put Facebook to sleep when I don't need to be interrupted because someone I do not care about on a daily basis sends me an invitation to play "Farmville" or some other such nonsense.

From what I am beginning to understand is that CM11 works quite well on the XT912 if installed properly. Yeah, bite the bullet and go full reset, again, but probably worth it. Will have to do it sooner or later. And, Greenify works quite well on it.

So to answer your statement, I will install CM11 again properly, either when I have enough free hours in a row to do it or when a more stable release comes out. Probably the former. Wish I had enough SD card space to keep both stock and CM10.2 and try CM11, but it does not look that way. 10.2 is backed up and will be sacrificed to give CM11 a fair chance. I hope it comes out as nice as the people who have it say it is.

Thanks for the heads up!

...really? I think you are right about 10.1.3 being the most stable. With 10.2, I have no idea of how many G I am getting because there is no indicator of such data states. Just "LTE and some bars". I know I am getting high speed broadband because when the power went out for the night, I used WiFi Tether to watch Netflix in HD on my laptop for most of the night. Without high G data, you get a lot of pixelation in the video while full screen and it looks bad. You know what, I got FCC Speed Test on my 10.2 now, let's do a speed test.

Download: 14.48 Mbps

Upload: 14.34 Mbps

Latency: 71 ms

Signal Strength: -111 dBm

Uhhh, that is not slow, dude. Wow, I can't believe that upload is that high. On Cable I get about 34 Mbps down and about 4.5 Mbps up. I don't know how many "G" that is but it is better than DSL and in the mid cablemodem range. I wish there were a way to tell what G band you are running on like in stock. Is it showing in CM11 or no? Have you tried a speed test?

This is just intermediate discussion. I got my rants out already. :laugh:
