[Droid RAZR M General] Moondroid:
After bouncing through about half a dozen ROM flashes, I'm back on stock 4.4.2. But I kept TWRP backups of 2 other installs, so it's subject to change on a whim.

I arrived at my current setup by flashing stock 4.4.2 over a working 4.1.2 install (with Apex Launcher etc) without erasing data (I removed the ..."erase" partition="userdata" line from xml file) and that took the apps through a smooth 'n easy update process. The only issue was SuperSU. TWRP handled it more or less, but all I got from that "update" was a "supersu Installer" in my Downloads list, and no SuperSU shortcut in my drawer. It took 2 or more reboots before I could re-install SuperSU (and update the binary) via Play Store.

Apps I Heart the Most (best-of-breed IMO):

.. Apex Launcher

.. App Opps

.. AquaMail

.. File Manager (root capable)

.. LOCX

.. Mobile Data Switch + Power Toggles widget *****

.. MyAppSharer (make/save apk's from current installs)

.. Poweramp

.. SuperSU, TWRP and all related apps

*****

..... Mobile Data Switch turns Mobile Data off during sleep, and when awake provides toggle between WiFi and Mobile Data (WiFi on=Data off).

..... Power Toggles widget (colors, background and icons configurable) allows one-tap radio controls on homescreen, plus music off (works with Poweramp). I can add other toggles to the homescreen bar as desired, e.g. Location, Flashlight, BT, Sync/Sync Now, Hotspot, etc.

Other Notes:

.. File Manager (by CM) seems to me as capable as ES File Explorer, with a better looking GUI.

.. LOCX is very easy to use for restricting access to just about anything (with pin, gesture, etc) including Play Store, settings, phone... and any app.

.. QuickPic is my replacement for Gallery: Include/Exclude folders, Hide (writes a dot in front of the folder name), etc. Slim and easy.

.. Satellite AR uses the camera to display and label DirecTV (and other?) satellites in the sky, as a reference point for aiming a dish. (Uninstalled till needed again.)

.. Speedtest is a memory/storage hog. I've used it to determine that I can get 8-14mb download and 1-3mb up on WiFi and Mobile Data. Preview: http://www.speedtest.net, the mobile app looks very similar. (Uninstalled till needed again.)

And now a word from our sponsors...

I'm an insane music freak (you name a genre, I'll name a song), and for my purposes Poweramp is Da

Bomb

. It seems almost too much for a cellphone. The "free" download is a 14-day trial. I don't even know what they want for it yet, but I'll pay.

That's about it. Nothing exotic, but I think it's the best cellphone/GUI/functionality setup I've ever had.
