[Droid X Android Development] sabrosolatino:
Ok, don't get angry with me again.

Chiruscan YOU HAVE a BIG POINT HERE,

let me explain why.

Oggie I understand your anger (hungry), I've seen it before (many times)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok let me talk as a football coach now:

"We don't have the faster phone anymore

We don't have as much RAM as the actual Flagships

We don't have the fabulous huge Video Cards that will bring and play the new L's "MATERIAL DESIGN"' as smooth/gorgeous as it will goes in new phones.

(we all had been a child playing with electronics devices in the 70s, Yeah those like "Star wars" portable player that was just a screen with two starship in each end and the laser was just a string of lights on/off to produce the animation of move. And soccer PELE 1980 was just a team of 3 squares chasin a square balon against the other team of 3 squares in Atari 2600 console.

So If you take that Child from the 70s and give him today our DroidX for play any games, he will at least pees in his pants).

So there is a point in every device where you have to admit and realize that it has reached the time to hanging their shoes of chasing the World Cup. ¿That mean the device is dead? NO, not at all.

So we have been lucky to live the times where Google looks in Android for better performance even in old hardware,

but now Google are looking forward, they are looking for reacher UI, for better effects, and so more to list it here.

So did any one really think that when Google design "the L Word" sorry the "L Android" they were thinking in old devices with old graphic cards?

Ok, I guess everyone gets the point.

Why I give this awful speech?

Because I have seen it before, with so many other old devices in elderly platforms.

There are always the anger of the developers (developers as the same time they are working they are challenging themselves)

So what always had happened? there is a point where the development effort goes beyond the hardware limitations and from them until the end of the devices days the new efforts has result in no really better performance, I mean you can add new things that work and things that give the sensation of improves, but the reality is that the real sense of lost of stability never get fixed.

So Yes, maybe in 4.4.2 we have better stability as the same time other things where not fixed yet or improve it yet.

SO If my memory doesn't fool me , was just the time where GPS was not full working we have a ROM very good but GPS was not fixed yet,

and then when the new ROM has GPS working but a little tiny mini issue of "not real North" drive us to the anger of try every NEXT ROM waiting for GPS works with real North.

So don't get me wrong, a lot of things has been improved, a lot of things gets fixed,

but just when the HARD button issues starts, stablity has never be the same.

and it is really improbable to ask to any developers to go so much back.

So much staff has been changed, improved and added but that kind of go back it just crazy and will never happens.

And how the story ends? Well, Once an old device has a last big but short RE-BORN (many eyes starts to watch again and eyes bright again with FRESH "it's alive, again".

but at some points the natural curse of life happens again. I mean everythings that fly straight UP, later came/fall down. So it high probable that The developers don't have anymore the device or the challeging start to be in other devices etc, etc, etc.

It's just how life goes, and I don't expect life changes any soon.

So everyone has to make an introspection and find what history ROM works better for his needs (not everyone has the same needs).

and to be fair, developers are not the bad fellows either. It is just the evolution of and "OS" that have so many different hardwares and devices still working over it that is completely logical this things happens.

For example, you bought a computer with Windows XP before release of WinXP SP1.

Does it work fine?? Yes, of course works fine in 2003 with Office 2003.

Then why now when you make a complete full wipe and install from cero Windows XP SP3 with all the patches, updates etc, etc, etc and also install Office 2013 the same machine doesn't work fine now??? Easy because of the same reason why our DroidX doesn't work equal between 4.4.0 and 4.4.4. The same reason Why Gtalk 2013 works flawlessly in our DroidX and the "Holy Moly" Hangout June 2014 work awful in the same DroidX.

So the John Locke's paradox of the sock makes quite sense here "IF you patch a sock, are you wearing the same sock even after re-re-re-patching the SOCK? Even after the point of complete replacement of all original threads??"

I Really Miss when our DroidX in April/May 2014 works smoothly and respond quickly.

Now I have to wait several seconds to start unlock the screen and several seconds so much that I even lost calls because at the time the F*cking screen call screen show up the calls goes to the answer machine. Damn it!!!
