[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=4551511]Vlasp[/MENTION] you got cm11 installed on stock? Did you install Trimmer (fstrim) yet? This app is pretty important, it cleans up the sdcard and keeps it fast but only for the stock partition. Might was well get it installed and set a once a week schedule for it, bra! :)

[MENTION=4551511]Vlasp[/MENTION] don't take this personally, I am only playing with words here. :D

How do you get to use the adjective "reliable" with regard to anything in 5 minutes? LOL!

"Reliable" is an adjective that is earned over a period of time. "He is reliable and on time". "This pipe wrench is reliable, been using it for 20 years!", "Judy is reliable, I can get a ride from her anytime". Before you can give out that description, you have to test something for a period of time or know it from someone else you trust enough to believe it. :)

I am using this snapshot rom for 6 days and yes, it has been reliable for all of that time. And I do believe that this rom will continue to be reliable on this phone, with the current app versions. All of this can change as the months go by. I am getting anywhere from 10 to 50 app updates a month. Each app or service update NEVER backs off and frees up memory, uses less CPU power, or goes to sleep quicker. They all demand more and more resources that modern, up to date hardware, can provide. This XT912 and 06/26 snapshot might not be worth spit in December or January if apps continue to update this way.

What can you do about it? I don't know man. The only thing I can think of, besides upgrading your phone, is to save the current app set with Titanium Backup, put this backup set away for safekeeping, and if the apps become so unruly one day where the phone is no longer usable in any practical way, restore the old app backup set. And even that might not work if the phone services now demand more power than the phone can provide.

One way you *might* be able to stretch more time out of this phone if the apps overpower the device is to go "Scorched Earth" and remove every single playstore app and only leave the stuff that came with the rom. Except maybe the very few apps you cannot do without such as Titanium Backup. Easiest way to do that is backup the current rom with Safe Strap, wipe, and go clean with the snapshot. Then restore the VERY FEW apps that you must have. Okay, you do not have a smartphone with hundreds of apps, but you should end up with a working phone, HD camera, GPS and navigation, and stuff that is really useful.

There is a lesson in all of this. I am not writing to see myself talk. What appears to be working fine today may not last forever or even as long as you would like. And it might have nothing to do with the phone or the rom. That fantastic Windows XP computer you had 7 years ago is probably not worth 1¢ today. Even if it were kept in new condition where the box was never opened. Technology marches onward and it leaves a very long trail of outdated and expensive hardware in it's wake. :(

Sad. But it might be time to start tossing change and dollars into the "Swappa Jar" and hope it fills up in time to get another phone when this good old XT912 just cannot do it anymore. :confused:
