[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Pardon me, [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] because I was under the impression that it was an installed widget. Since I don't really want anymore widgets, I passed on it, but did want to know what it does first. I heard from [MENTION=3687628]morr22066[/MENTION] that it was a widget and widgets can normally be uninstalled like any other app. Thank you for the correction and update but I will pass on the sarcasm. I never mean to mislead any member and spend a lot more time than you do at the help desk in this forum. And yes, you can skip my sarcasm too. :rolleyes:

LOL! :laugh:

Seriously, I am thankful for your help and never go out of my way to make another member feel uncomfortable for an honest mistake. You are in my friend list and I have known you for a long time, Welder. I am also grateful for the help you have given me all this time. You are especially valuable with your experience with XT910 phones. Thanks buddy! :good:

Gosh, you are *such* a likeable guy, Casper! I think you really picked a good name for this forum, "Casper the Friendly Ghost". :laugh:

Ooooh, I do not like "Everything Motorola". Take a look at the stock blur rom you get from them with a new phone. They are a commercial capitalist company like Verizon or anyone else out to make money. They stock roms are full of things I want removed. But yes, they are a very good company anyway.

Uhm, I did not get to 09/10 yet. I really got stuck on restoring the Superuser to my cm11 rom. Even updates would not "bring it back" and I fussed with this issue for 3 days. Finally got it worked out with the "Dwillian Dump" process, twice in a row. I tell you, anyone here can come up with a good idea but never thinks it important enough to pass it on to the rest of us. I pried at Dwillian for his update method and he revealed a manual process where he manually wipes the /system /partition as well as /dalvik and /cache. That was so unusual that I was afraid to try it. But with a Safe Strap backup, I figured it could do not harm and it really did work out great. So good that I gave it a catchy name so everyone would remember it, "The Dwillian Dump". Catchy name, huh? I got the process in his own words to publish if I recommend it to anyone. It does have it's use for certain situations and is a real time saver too when needed.

Anyway, I did not have good results with 09 and at least two other members confirmed issues with them so I am skipping it to see what comes next. 09 installed and ran really good for me but by the third day, it was getting really laggy. I took it out. I did finish polishing off my 07 build so I will now save it in Safe Strap and move on to maybe, oh wait a minute. The Changelog shows a LOT of changes to be included in next nightly. I think I am going to wait for 11/11 or the next Nightly Build as these changes could really make things better or, ...worse.

11/07 I really love and have already backed up 3x already so this is the 4th and final backup of 11/07. Then comes 11/11 or next, I will do a build report but need at least 24 hours to give a good report. I can probably now delete the first few backups on it now.

Hmmm, lag is an interesting term, Casper. These Razr phones are really good smart phones. But they will *never* run as fast as a brand new smart phone. So for me, if it can make calls quickly, do text message, or bring up the browser with a quick tap, that is "fast". Now Navigation takes about a full minute for me, but works quite well once up and running. If I multitask with GPS Navigation, Bluetooth audio to car, stream music to car, and then I try a phone call, I get "real, genuine lag". Dialer opens slowly, face of dialer is black with white spinning arrow, and I can make a call in several seconds. The phone can do it, but does get lagged down. I expect that. If you notice a rom is good and "fast" but later notice that is is slowing down or another build is much slower, then you got it right. There is lag. I like 11/07 because there is no immediate lag and it does not show up, days later. I wish all builds could run this well. I am going to try 11/11 and will let you know, buddy.

Fresh install? I cannot answer that. If you have not done it in a long time and notice that the phone is "just not as fast as it used to be when I first installed cm11", then yeah, you should probably install fresh. I am working on a guide for newbies and members who cannot maintain a good running rom of cm11. I could not do it for like 10 months and boy oh boy was I frustrated. Especially when the same guys were saying over and over again, "Very fast, smooth as butta". I finally pieced together a good working strategy to keep my phone clean and fast, and for me, it is working. I got one copy online and keep it updated. I have to work on it a bit more, make it more friendly and find out from others what the don't like or would like to add, so if you want, take a look and give me feedback. This will work for you if you need it, buddy.

How to install and maintain CM11 for a good running phone

I put the stuff about "Micro Managing the Phone" in there because [MENTION=3668995]Meneldur[/MENTION] was trying to "tweak his broken system back to working well again". One cannot use tweaks to fix something that is not working right in the first place. Meneldur is now doing much better, used the guide, and did take out all of the tweaking tools so that cm11 could actually work well on it's one like it is supposed to do. I hope to hear from him soon as to how it is going and if he needs more specialized help with his phone. Dwillian is also doing his and is making progress. Nice to hear. :)

Nice talking to you, as always Casper. Let me know how it goes and I will give a build report as soon as I have one. Take care, Daniel. :cowboy:
