If I understand correctly you want a large list of widgets on the main lockscreen under the clock...

If this is the case, download DashClock and use that as your main lockscreen clock instead of the stock one (click and drag in front of the stock clock and click and delete the stock one).

Then download any of the DashClock extensions from the play store or search online for them in Chrome. Tons of them out there. AnyDash may do what you're looking to do with different app notification widgets.

Also, if you're rooted and you want a TON of widgets in the main list, use the Xposed module (can't think of the name now but it's pretty obvious when you look in the list) to bypass the number of lockscreen widgets allowed.

EDIT: My bad, the Xposed module isn't obvious, it's Gravity Box [KK] under lockscreen tweaks at the bottom. Click on disable widget limit. I'd also recommend clicking on expand all widgets right next to it.
[RAZR HD General] six37:
In lock screen mode put your finger on the clock and swipe down. That will change the mode and allow you to swipe left-right and add widgets

Waste of time and bandwidth

I don't know about everyone's thoughts, but mine is simple.

I want the last version back on my phone, and now I am working to try to get it back.

I just have to figure out the steps to unlock it so I can do that.

I am out of contract and can just buy another phone off the internet or

craigslist if I need to, in case something happens to this one during the process.

But as for my opinion, in trying to make it better, they have made it a thousand times worse.

Stuff that used to easy and simple is now a major pain. Especially the navigation. Trying to set a route to avoid tolls or ferries??

I don't know about that much of the public, but I don't regularly take my 18 wheeler on a ferry. I don't even take my CAR on a ferry.

And every time I put it back in the car dock and tap on the navigation icon to see where I am at, it asks me if I want to cancel my routing or not?

UHHHH NO!!!!! I want to see what is my next step in my current route, you idiot.

It now uses ALL the colors of the notification LED instead of just one.

If anything, they should have been able to figure out how to modify that so the user could select which color for different notifications he wanted.

And after spending 38 minutes on the phone with Verizon tech support, he and I both have a huge disgust of the new version.

His call times have tripled to quadrupled because of all the stuff that has been made worse.

Hey GOOGLE, here is an IDEA, try actually finding out what the PUBLIC wants to be made better or left alone.

Not just the techno geeks sitting in the "screw it up and call it better" department and paying each of them $100k+ per year.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Lol, angry much? So the directions is the only thing that isn't working right, or are there other issues? You mention "this sucks, lots of stuff broken" yet only go on and on about the directions and a small vent about the notification lights. Instead, maybe CALMLY list what isn't working now and we may be able to help with some or all of it. For example, Light Flow will fix your notification light problems. I haven't had any issues with gps or navigation so I'm sorry I can't help you there.

Do me a favor and stay off the highways with your truck this weekend while I'm driving cross country ok? At least until you take a breather 8)
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
First things first: trying to unlock your phone will not work if it has not been unlocked before, and trying to reinstall Jellybean will brick your phone and you will have to buy a new phone. Be prepared to need to buy one. In fact, before you try and do anything, buy a new phone first. It sounds like you need it for your job, so not having a phone for a few days might hurt business a little.

And, to be honest, this update would have seemed a lot less different had Verizon/Motorola upgraded each version of Android as it went along. This software update jumped three versions upward. So, things are going to look and feel different. It would be like jumping from iOS 4 to iOS 7. Unless you had been keeping up with what Google had been doing, it would be easy to get a little lost. Having had a Nexus and ran CM for a while, these changes were nothing new to me. Lucky me, I guess.

As far as the GPS goes, I'm not sure how this changed for you. I had the latest version of Google Maps on my phone BEFORE I upgraded, and the avoiding tolls feature had been working as well. With the update, it has been no different. In fact, I used it to drive to NYC this past Thursday and avoided tolls until I had to drive into the city, thanks to Google Maps. The only thing I can think of is uninstalling/reinstalling Google Maps, and if that doesn't work do a factory data reset. I'm sorry this has become broken for you.

Lightflow will solve your notification LED issues as said above. Its a really easy app to set up and use, and I have been using it since I owned my Nexus about three years ago.

All that said, I actually love the update. My phone runs smoother and it honestly feels like a new phone. I did do a factory data reset BEFORE and AFTER taking the OTA, and even then flashed the FXZ to be safe. I'm paranoid about OTAs. I've had a few screw up this phone and had to send it into Verizon to replace the phone, but this one works fine for me. My only issue is that Hangouts sometimes gets kicked out of memory and doesn't show notifications for text messages even though it receives them. For whatever reason, this doesn't happen or seem to happen with other messaging apps, but I like hangouts too much to switch.
[RAZR HD General] Biged_870:
I am not trying to a smartalec here, but I am not 12. I am 43 and have worked on computers for quite a while. I know what I like and a LOT of what they did to "improve" the product has only made it worse. If I am using myPilot app to go from directions list to navigation, almost every single time it says maps has stopped working.

I have that and a dozen other complaints of what I do not like about this latest version. I know what I like. I like that last version that was on my phone and at some point someone will figure out a way for me to get it back. I don't give a flip about warranty because this phone is out of contract and warranty both. It is actually an insurance phone. I would be more than happy to spend the money to get another insurance phone if I knew those had not been updated to this version of android.

And having to install an app into a phone for led control when that technology has been around and included in some phones for 7-10 years is ridiculous. this version just turns ALL the led colors on and off on a general notification, where the last one only turned on green for genereal notifications, red for low battery, and blue for facebook (which it still does the blue). All that does is use more power to run all the led's, instead of just the power for one. minute amount of power, but none the less.

Simple fact is this. At some point someone will figure out how to unlock the bootloader (if they haven't already) and then someone will figure out how to load an older version onto a phone that has run it before without bricking the phone. When they do, I will be in line to run those programs on mine. Plain and simple.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
sorry to be the bearer of bad news boss, but thats not going to happen, not in 10 days or ten years.

you can bet the house on that....
[RAZR HD General] Biged_870:
Didn't they say the same thing about jellybean??

:laugh:

Have a good night. I still don't like kitkat.. stuck with it or not for now or for forever.

I do not like it. Plus I should not have to spend $500 for a new phone with faster processors and all that jazz to be able to use it.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
i saw used g2's on ebay for around 240-250 in good condition. i have one, bought new for 650 last year. i cant imagine phones getting much faster, screens change and load so fast, there isnt much room for improvement.

i like my rmhd and think it was quick for its time, never had an issue.

g2 redefined my definition of quick :)
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
That's rooting. What [MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION] was talking about was unlocking the bootloader. That will never happen for this phone (XT926) because the way to unlock before was due to a security exploit, which required you to be rooted in order to take advantage of the exploit to blow the eFuse. The OTA after 9.16 fixed this security hole and there is no way to go back to it ever because it was patched in a protected zone, which means even an unlocked bootloader cannot overwrite this zone, period unless you have the proper security key which Motorola/Verizon will never release to the public, period.

KitKat actually is a better functioning version. I used to have to reboot my JB device every couple of days because it would slow down so bad. With KitKat, I haven't had to reboot my phone. Performance is great and it's a lot snappier than JB ever was.

Some of the other issues mentioned, like the navigation, is not due to KitKat. People under JB would see that as well. But, the way KitKat's interface has changed can be a major shock to people. As someone else stated, those of us on Nexus devices have seen the gradual change from JB to KitKat and it's been a much easier path.

Let's put it this way - once I got used to KitKat on my Nexus 7, when I would go back to my phone, I would find myself longing for those KitKat changes (toggles in the pull-down menu which required getting a 3rd party app or use GravityBox), etc. Now, I don't have to worry about that with the XT926.

But, I understand many may not like it. I say, give it some time. You'll eventually get used to it and you might be surprised that you eventually come to appreciate some of the changes (not all, but some). Then again, if not, then I can understand your frustration.

Change is something a lot of people do not like when they have been so used to the way things worked. But, I remember going from GB to ICS and then to JB how so many people crowed about the changes and how they hated it. Wonder how many of them have grown to either accept or appreciate the changes that came about?

In any case, hopefully you can get the GPS issue figured out. As others have mentioned, and we understand it's a pain but it's usually a necessary one, the best thing to do is FDR either before or after the upgrade.
[RAZR HD General] newmanx4:
I have a new problem that has started in the last few days. While in the middle of a call the sound will transfer from the earpiece to the external speaker. When I look at the phone, speakerphone is not on. I then have to toggle it on then off to get the sound back to the earpiece.
[RAZR HD General] vegita319:
Boy aren't you glad you glad you didn't really bet a house on that for real huh? lol Cheers to everyone for getting that boot loader unlocked again. I'm just now unlocking it and it's feels good to be free again!
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
No one did anything to get it unlocked again. Moto screwed up and put the old exploit back in with the KK update, so give the thanks to Moto, even though that's not what they intended. :silly:

In any case, the latest soak test patches that exploit (and root for Towelroot), so you better hurry and take advantage of the "gift" Moto gave everyone. If anything, if you don't want to upgrade to KK, then this is your sole reason to do it, so you can unlock your bootloader.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:

[RAZR HD General] vegita319:
I apologize if that was taken wrong. Wasn't trying to be an ass. I understand the situation clearly considering given that I did have to use an "old unlock" tool like everyone else. Was more commenting on the irony on how we got lucky twice and celebrating (if you couldn't tell with my laugh). I'm also thankful and one of the recipients of your awesome guide to getting unlock again.

In any case, you guys are all right and everyone should be unlock before updating and reap the benefits of freedom.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
it was defiantly ironic, and i apologize if i came off harsh.

i dedicate a lot more time to helping people on various forums than most people would.

when someone mocks my advice, i tend to get a bit of an attitude.

i saw that you were joking, but it is different coming from someone with 6 post vs 1000+.

when you mock me (even in joking), you mock everyone who provides help to this forum who stands behind my position.

including but not limited to [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] [MENTION=3250093]iBolski[/MENTION] [MENTION=5127013]RikRong[/MENTION] [MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION] and the countless other helpers and developers providing support to this device.

[MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION] is the security expert who found this exploit, and stated, that it would never happen again.

so when someone way!! smarter than me, gives advice, i tend to listen.

please just be considerate in the future, of how you would feel in my position.

if you feel like an ass, dont make me feel like one.

thanks again!

KK has sucked for me, except..

KK has sucked for me! My battery life went to hell and my Bluetooth is garbage. The only thing that came out good for me is that I was able to unlock the bootloader, thanks to the developers. I did a factory reset, but my problems still persist. Oh well.

Don't like it ...

I don't like KK for one really big reason ...I really enjoy using FoxFi allowing me to enable my Wifi hotspot since I have unlimited data. Now I can't. I would love to roll my phone back to 4.3 or earlier. Anyone know how to do that. Unfortunately I had to replace my original phone when the KK update bricked my phone and it was not rooted.

Somewhere in these forums related to the phone, there are instructions for fixing the entitlement hack for the stock MHS. I too am on unlimited data and the stock MHS has worked like a charm with the fix.

My battery life has been absolutely horrific since the update. Right now I'm at 41% and I've only been off the charger for 6 hours 25 minutes. I have barely used the phone all day. Bootloader is locked so I guess there's nothing I can do about it.
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
Have you not read? You can unlock your bootloader with the KK update. This has been known for over a month now.

Go unlock your phone here -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/46155-rootunlock-442-182183-razr-hdm-only/

Better do it now before the next soak comes out which patches Towelroot and bootloader unlocking.

Do it now. If you don't, then don't come crying to the rest of us. This is your chance to do it now. Once unlocked, then you can go back to JB if you so desire.
[RAZR HD General] Artnig:
Since I've been on KK for a while now through a custom ROM, I only updated OTA for the new KK bootloader. Never really been a huge fan of the moto's blur, though it isn't that bad. At least now with the new bootloader I can continue getting updates for latest custom KK roms :laugh:

I think KitKat is great and I'm glad we finally got official support. Just want to get the most out of this device until the next killer phone comes out :p

[RAZR HD General] larsdennert:
Cm11 they patched it but the stock ROM locks up Wi-Fi when a BT device is connected so you get no internet. Kind hard on the battery too. Otherwise stock ROM with xposed framework is nice.
[RAZR HD General] Almighty2:
I updated from JB 4.1.2 to KK using the DROID RAZR HD Utility v1.41, ran it twice just in case and I noticed the following problems with both 182.46.10 and 183.46.10:

The mobile connection still drops periodically even if it was in a 5 bar strong signal area in San Francisco downtown. On Thursday, when I was heading to the Verizon Wireless store in downtown San Francisco, the non-NFC SIM that came with the phone in 10/2012 was on 4G 5 bars in the entire area. I needed to get a NFC SIM because of ISIS so they gave me a new NFC SIM and the phone started 3G with 4 bars from the store all the way until I got home before it finally switched to 4G and it seems like the NFC SIM still has periodic disconnects as the signal bars are there but the 4G LTE symbol just disappears whenever it happens when it is 3-5 bars. Not sure if the SIMs are like how it was in the 3G GSM days when newer SIMS usually have a newer software or database on it as I remember some people with T-Mobile SIMs would say PacBell instead of T-Mobile until they went into the store to switch the SIM, it might even be the PRL for all I know.

The other problem I am having other than this is the battery charges at a extremely slow speed on the 1.1Amp charger as it basically charges at 1% per hour with the phone on but extremely fast with the phone off.

I also have the popping noises every 30 seconds that has nothing to do with locking the screen or touching sounds as those sounds are turned off.

Both the slow battery charging issue and the popping noises are fixed with the boot image that fixes the popping noises.

One other thing I noticed is that if I had multiple launchers installed without having a default launcher defined, Kitkat will not load the startup items if I had it on the PIN lock screen automatically. If I took out the lockscreen or kept the lockscreen and define the Kitkat launcher as the home launcher default, it will load the startup items fine. Not sure if this is a bug with Kitkat or not or is this by design.
[RAZR HD General] josetheman38:
Thanks for the tip, but it's too much trouble. I just went ahead and got me a used S4 to keep my unlimited Verizon 4G. The Droid M never really impressed me with it's constant freezing.
[RAZR HD General] Trebuchette:
I put off updating to KK until I dropped my phone and the back cover sort of popped off on the bottom (Asurion sent me a replacement with Sept OTA on it, which encouraged me to FIX my "broken" phone and send the replacement back). This phone's got some duct tape on the bottom, but it works on both old JB and new KK). —Since I had to use a nandroid anyway, I opted to try the KK update instead of JB, just to see.

Thanks to xda, I got almost everything to work fine, but honestly, my data is just slow AF. On JB, I'm still getting 4G almost all the time; but on KK, it's usually 3G, and only sometimes 4G. WTF?!

I'd thought I read a thread here this past summer with a fix, but anyway, is there something I should try to flash to get better data speeds on KK? I've put a lot of time and three-finger-salutes into this KK (stock xposed) vs JB thing, and KK has a lot going for it, but that data speed loss is heartbreaking, even with the better batt life. I'd like to try one last thing (flashing something) to get my data speeds up to par. Ideas? TIA!

[LG G Flex] bryanizmir:
Curious about this as well.

One thing I have found (however dangerous and unsafe as it may be) is to use a mouse while driving. Using a OTG cable with a wireless mouse helps me keep much more focus on the road. Much better that reaching up to the phone and touching the screen imho. With the flex I have many times knocked the phone out of the bad-fitting car dock I have when I touch it, creating a dangerous situation. Hence my switch to a mouse :)

I got this universal mount sideways since I switch phones a lot. I adjust it so it's snug and don't even mess with the button to release it so it's easy to put in and take out. Our Columbus, Ohio roads suck and I've never had problem with it falling out. It's angled up so that helps. I tried at least 10 universal mounts and finally found one I like. I got it at Walmart.

I only mess with my phone when I'm at a light. I had a friend that died driving and texting.
