[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GlitchyGadget:
Hello everyone!

I'm an advanced beginner with rooted devices, and over the years, with the help of a close friend, I have been able to optimize frustratingly restricted or otherwise ungainly Android devices. There's been some crazy experiences, but it's been mostly a series of wonderful and exciting experiences - albeit if requiring some patience and persistence. Over the years, I've seen how well the hard working people at XDA have produced amazingly capable and aesthetically pleasing ROMs and patches, and with my most recent project, this much is true... and much more.

I'm making this post, first and foremost, to express my gratitude to those hard working developers and coders who have produced all of the awesome ROMs and apps I've been able to fully take advantage of with Resurrection Remix 6.x.x.

After a few less successful ROM experiences (though nothing troublesome), with two nights of collaborative work (through online correspondence with a close friend), we were able to install Resurrection Remix 6.x.x. on my Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo using the provided Open GApps, a few Theme Ready Google Apps for CMTE/Layers v14.0 tweaks, and Inversion UI (CM 12/13).

I have wanted for several years to have a true dark themed phone, and with the decline of Dark KitKat and/or Material Dark elements present in stock or even some custom ROMs, it has thus far been a persistent tech hot button for me.

But more than that, I live on a modest budget, and the extension of longevity that ROMs like Resurrection Remix provide are an invaluable resource for people like me, who are often stuck between contracts as it were. And this build, greatly exceeds my expectations - even for a custom ROM. I love that it not only aesthetically and functionally retains the framework of stock Android, but incorporates all of the most appreciable elements of CyanogenMod in a very balanced way.

Since I've been using my phone after the installations and tweaks, I've already noticed major improvements across the board:

1. Call quality and volume have increased

2. The phone is cool to the touch, even after regular use, and even during Turbo Charging (which would heat up even unrooted)

3. The browsing speed is phenomenal, even while using it on sub-par Public Library WiFi

4. The way the system seemlessly blends with "Faster Than Light" on Nova Launcher to produce effortless transitions

5. It charges faster, and thus far holds a charge longer

6. It restores, albeit very modestly, a nice green notification light, which appears a crescent near the front facing camera

A few things about Inversion UI by SPAstef:

This theme, is almost completely seamless, save for web enabled apps like Gmail and Google Chrome, which despite having a flawless theming, are still subject to the same white defaults of web based coding. But having dark theme, for my tastes, makes those touches of white appealing instead of jarringly homogeneous. But in all respects, this theme feels like it was meant for the phone - it has a professional and even personal touch that I've not seen before - even in older KitKat builds. It is quite an amazing feat to be able to get something that is BETTER than the old dark designs while still respecting what worked with them.

And the way that the Theme Chooser integrates no only with Inversion UI, but custom apk boot animations, is amazing. Though I know things of this nature are not always the case, the ease and efficiency of those changes was something I really respect.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the developers and coders behind Resurrection Remix 6.xx and Theme Ready Google Apps for CMTE/Layers v14.0, to SPAstef for Inversion UI Theme, to piyushkashyap216 for the sleak watery Droid boot animation apk, and to phatwcinfrcr for the clean minimal Motorola Boot Image bin file. You all put in a lot of hard work to make these things possible, and it's inspiring to see people with so much drive and motivation - tech or otherwise.

Thanks again! :)
