[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION] you have a dammed good head on your shoulders, you know that? This is one of the many reasons why I pay attention to you and listen very closely to your advice. This "tasty nugget" goes right into my "Droid Razr/Friends/Sherri.txt file". Thank you!

Yeah, I AM a CM loyalist, but the cm11 development tree for OMAP4 is pretty much near dead. Michael is now "doing the impossible" again, porting over Android L to the Droid OMAP4 devices. Putting a round peg into a square hole and he is very, very good at doing that. But I need a phone where everything works. NOW. At all times. Every time I need it. If I am driving and have an accident or witness a crime, that camera better work immediately, not after "toggling this or that", rebooting, etc. I am going to visit a specialist from my doctor in Fort Lauderdale, a 25 minute drive and I have 30 minutes to get there and I need Maps, GPS, and Navigation, NOW. I cannot reboot, wipe caches, restore a backup, or anything or I miss the appointment. If I am streaming music and using navigation and I receive a call, I must answer it and talk, like, NOW. Not with a black screen and spinning white arrow, maybe it will work, probably I will miss the call. This is what I am talking about when I say "It doesn't work". :eek:

I am SO AMAZED at the progress being made on the Alpha build of CM12 for OMAP4 thread.

[ROM][5.0][Unofficial] CyanogenMod 12.0

The people in there are total enthusiasts and are totally absorbed by it. Many of them swear this is their "Daily Driver" even though Micheal himself advised everyone, appropriately so, that CM12 for Droid is strictly Alpha Software, not to be used as a daily driver. Alpha is far worse than any beta. It is a peek into what can and eventually might be one day. Much of it works, a LOT MORE of it does not. But the work and progress being made is quite astounding, to say the least. The Droid Razr phones by no means even meet the criteria or "minimum requirements" for Android 5.0 but Michael will for sure "make it work". He will, ...someday. And when that day comes, I will for sure put it on my phone. But Alpha software I have no time for now. Life is too difficult for me to get caught up in a phone that works only sometimes and after I get my hands very greasy, working on it constantly. :p

But I live in the present and I need a really good phone where everything works, now, and all the time. And you are right, I AM happy with Nightly Build 11/07 and it does do everything I want and it never fails. So, I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding about what I want. I really do not "want" the latest rom, I want one that works but would like to know if the current build tree for OMAP4 is working again. So, I am keeping cm11, 11/07 and will push it to my stock slot. I am lazy and this must be done from scratch and really, it is not that bad of a job. I can do it in one day easily for the most part. And I can clear enough space for another rom, but which one? There are so many.

You were on Dirty Unicorns by tonyt. and dropped it because the ext-sdcard was not open to writing and this is a serious issue for you. What made you change your mind and go back to it? Is the sdcard issue fixed? It is no secret that I "like you" a lot, but I am a respectable gentleman in every sense of the word so that is flattery more than anything else. ;)

I would *so kill* to have lunch with you someday, at a sidewalk cafe in Manhattan or Miami or Fort Lauderdale. I think that Paris is a wee bit out of my budget, I'm afraid. Chicken salad on a fresh croissant with lettuce and a nice cold diet Pepsi. Fries? Nah, fresh cole slaw! Maybe a real drink later. But I am just dreaming, a guy can dream, can't he? :angel:

You know what, I will do it. I want to try something new, interesting, and good. And I can give it a good workout to see if it can do all the multitasking that I need to do with this old dog. If you are able to copy/paste the direct URL to the rom page, please do. But I don't use Tapatalk hardly at all so if this is not easy to do, forget it. I will find it.

You are right about the updates too. I stay away from Go SMS Pro v6.0 because the developer "dumbed down" the menus so bad that it is no longer the power app that I grew to love. Google Maps is changing all the time and I cannot say I really like the new updates. Problem is that the older versions are something I must hunt for and will most likely not find. But you did plant a good seed in my head to backup versions I really like in TiBu and then copy those backups to Dropbox. Nice idea. Thank you again my dear.

Yeah, I will do it. I will see if I can get the time during the holidays to get this done. I would really like to push cm11 Build 11/07 to stock and should just shut up already about it and just "Git 'er done". Sherri, you really *are* the coolest, most fascinating, and darned pretty "geek chick" that I have ever met, virtually. I mean this as the most sincere form of flattery there is and I assure you ma'am, it is quite genuine and harmless. I am a very respectable true gentleman and I *always* open the door for a lady. Thank you. Thank you for making me realize that what I do have and enjoy is worth hanging on to and to stop imagining that "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence". LOL! :laugh:

OMG, I have fresh asparagus, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil with cracked black pepper and sea salt baking in a 400° oven and must go, NOW! Oh, and I top that with fresh grated Parmesan, Locatelli, or Romano Cheese. Goodnight, sleep tight, and sweet dreams. Will let you know if this works or if I run into issues. Merry Christmas! :)
