[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You did the right thing, [MENTION=3668995]Meneldur[/MENTION]. You have to do what is good for you and your family. I SO want to join you with upgraded hardware, but I just do not have the money for it. And I will not take an unrootable phone either. So for now, I am stuck. :(

I hear you on multitasking though. I like to do it myself and it is getting more and more difficult to do on a Razr phone. I am unable now on 12/06 to stream audio through Bluetooth in the car anymore. Streaming audio, if it works at all, no longer comes out of car audio, even though connected. Hear screen taps in car speakers but not the streaming music. Bluetooth audio to car is not a big deal and should not bog down the phone at all. But the apps are getting bigger and heavier. Opening TuneIn Radio or Slacker of course has to wake up Facebook, trying to get a "Like" out of me. I won't have it, that is unpaid advertising for them. If they want me to advertise, cut me a check or give me Premium service, give me *something* for crying out loud! :(

So I did an experiment. I downgraded back to 11/07 again, method used is Dwillian Dump instead of restoring backup and having 20+ apps to update. Simple to do.

Have required rom and pa-gapps on device

Boot to recovery

Wipe cache, dalvik, & System

Flash cm11 & latest pa-gapps

Reboot to system and finish up

That is a nice way to go, you keep your updates and system settings current. Some basic housekeeping tasks follow.

Allow new rom to settle in, 2-3 minutes for su to hand out permissions, phone to setup and sync

Open BetterBatteryStats and tap Install System App

Open AdAway and update Hosts

Open Xposed Framework and tap Update/Install

Reboot

Now I have an up to date phone with my month old rom installed, a very stable and good rom, I might add. 11/07 Nightly Build.

So I try streaming Bluetooth audio again in the car, short hop to supermarket, only 15 minutes to closing time. Google Play Music, runs fine, opens quickly, and sound does indeed come from car speakers. On way home, try another music app. Slacker Radio. Opens fine, plays music quickly, and audio does come from car speakers again. :D

Amazing. The roms started to "go bad" at 11/11 and even though the late builds install fine and seem to run well, I cannot multitask at all with them. At least now I can stream music and use GPS. An incoming call is not lost. But on a current build, that is no longer the case. If I have to, I will just sit on 11/07 until CM11 becomes stable or "Good Again".

I think this rom would probably work fine on a Galaxy Note 4 or something new that you can root. But for an old dog like a Razr, it is just not happening anymore and this is a good smartphone.

[MENTION=3668995]Meneldur[/MENTION] if you want a stable rom where you can multitask a little bit, I would recommend CM11 Nightly Build 11/07 and you can get it from my link above. The procedure listed above will allow you to keep current settings for your wife's phone if you wish. Hope this helps. I am convinced that I need this older build to allow me to do the things I want. Good luck with the new phone and if you can root and rom it, please tell us so we can get an idea of

what new phones are out that are good, powerful, and can be rooted and then rommed

. Thanks buddy! :cowboy:
