[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
First, [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I am not a master of safestrap. I just know what apps I use and need, so I want to make sure space is available. I have a 32GB SD card, so 90% of my apps go there. I try to put anything the "system" doesn't require on there. I keep my messaging app on the internal, as well as apps that control system functions, such as Light Flow, Phone Weaver, Auto speaker, APM+ (thanks for that suggestion), Titanium, Car Home, Nova Launcher, Smart Taskbar, SuperSu, SwiftKey Keyboard, and a root file Explorer. (I personally prefer Solid Explorer for root stuff, but an ancient version of Astro for almost everything else.) I move system apps that are available in play store to the SD card as well, such as Google+ and Hangouts. You know I freeze or uninstall apps I never (and will never) use, such as live wallpaper picker, exchange services, email, etc...

I am not using Dirty Unicorns, much to my chagrin, as it looks and works amazing. It has all the elements of AOKP that I need, along with the elements I want. I installed it clean, on a newly made slot. I set it up the way I wanted, and it flew. Ran it that way (without installing many apps I want) for a day and a half. Battery and system were excellent. I had only installed the apps that I can't live without, mainly Light Flow, Titanium and Phone Weaver. I used native music player and camera. After "falling in love" with this ROM, I decided to restore apps. The only data I restored was in the 3 apps mentioned.

That is when I had issues. After restoring a few (my biggest vice is music players... Haven't found one that combines all I like in one app, so I use a few....) phone froze.

Actually, it was TiBu that froze, so when I checked about installing some apps from play store, I got the "insufficient space" notification. Went back to TiBu to move what I had onto SD card (SD ext), and it "appeared to work". Icons in TiBu changed from "phone" to SD card. However, the apps didn't actually move.

And.... I am apologizing in advance to [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION] because he has read this saga on the DU thread. If I went to phone settings/applications, normally all user installed apps have the option of "move to SD card". On DU, this option is there on the xt910 version, but not the xd912 version, which is what I have. The developer /porter of this version of DU said he made a mistake and left the SD out of the xd912 version. Said he would fix it. Sooooooo...

I went back to Liquid Smooth, which runs okay. Occasionally reboots, and the phone sometimes freezes so I can't answer it, but short of going to the stock ROM (when the led won't blink with the screen ON) or reverting to a JB version of AOKP, I guess I will have to wait.

Now... I know this post can rival even your epic novels, but... I have one question. I haven't (and it doesn't seem like many have) found a ROM that runs "glitch free". I know many people are installing "good" ROMs to their stock side, but I am way to scared for that. I KNOW the stock ROM works as it is intended. Makes/answers calls, sends email, sms, mms, takes photos, plays music, surfs the Internet, has GPS, etc...

If all sh*t hits the fan, I can boot into stock and use my phone. If I put a "good" ROM on there, and have an issue because even the best ROM have issues, I won't be able to use my phone until I can get to my pc.... If the battery doesn't die first.... Not worth the risk for me....

I just rebooted into DU (still looks the best and runs extremely fast, so this issue truly stinks....) and looked at the platform xml. All the text you said to have there is there already.
