Here's my feedback after day 1 on the Beta build:
*Speed/Responsiveness - Fastest of any XT912 ROM. Superior to stock.
*GPS Navigation Lock- Seems to acquire satellite instantly.
*Data- Both 3g and LTE speeds are through the roof. Did you tweak network settings?
*Music/Sound- The highlight of this ROM for me. Explosive, crystal clear sound, booming bass, loud volume. The best.
*Battery- Seems noticeably longer lasting compared to stock ROM & AOSP/ Cyanogen based ROMs... and that's coming from someone who doesn't own a Max, and keeps LTE on.
*Settings- Impressive extended options cooked into the system settings app. Definitely gives the feel of having a Cyanogen based ROM on a stock based ROM.
*Memory Management- No lags, no hiccups, true multitasking without freezing... the way Android should be on this device.
*Theme- 10/10... Thank you Lord Sweet Jesus for replacing that ugly green stock MotoPhone app... I Love the glowing blue theme. Always have. Beautiful Framework, Boot Animation, Lock Screen, Notification Toggles, SystemUI Bar, Settings Menu, and you're not finished w/ the theming? Can't wait to see what you do with the rest.
**Web top works 100% in case anyone with a lapdock was wondering**
The only "glitches" or "bugs" I've caught is the boot animation reads XT875. However, I know you based this on your Bionic build, and who cares? It's a boot animation. Also, you're using some kind of modded browser, not the default Moto Stock Browser, and for some reason when I type a search/site into the navigation bar, the drop down menu of recommended sites/searches has an odd graphical glitch that only shows the text in a very narrow, distorted frame. This was present in alpha build also.
Personal future theming preferences:
*Blue themed Text Messaging icon*... like this sexy lil dude. quick reply would be amazing if you could integrate it.
*Black framework backgrounds*... vs. The grey... just a personal preference, but it'd make your glowing blue theme POP on our SAMOLED screens...
*As many inverted apps as possible *... again just love black. Inverted Google Keep app for sure.
*Stock Moto File Manager is great... Personally I prefer it to Open Intents
*The SD card switch hack would be great so downloads can go on the SD and not internal storage. I can give you the vfold.fstab file if you need it.
*Take out the B logo on the system UI or at least make it slightly smaller... definitely leave the Blurry lettering on the tail though.. and trademark that $#!+. Blurred Effectz™
*The OG YouTube downloader app in place of the YouTube system apk would be another good mod. Beta 7 is the best.
*I remember the thing I miss most about my Droid Bionic was that in the settings menu under storage, you could transfer media files from internal storage to external SD... The RAZR doesn't have this option... if you could do this, or the SD swap hack mentioned above, I'd be super grateful.
*I don't know if it's even possible, but I really miss the Motoprint app. Made my lapdock just as useful as a netbook.
Things I hope you don't change:
*Almost everything.. really this rom is nearly perfect and is definitely a stable daily driver.
*Please keep both the Moto Cam & Gallery... motocam has so many more options vs AOSP camera app.
We will take some your ideas into consideration. Ive been working on an icon pack to match the rom color scheme, which I purposely designed so that later on I can easily transfer the blue into other colors. Ive noticed some of the changes in the screenshots you posted, one of the reasons for certain icons being the same throughout the ROM such as the wifi, vibration, bluetooth, and settings icons, is to bring uniformity to the theme. Having different icons for the same functions tends to be confusing and detracts from uniform approach Ive been trying to take. Trust me, there are plenty of changes Id like to make, some that are similar to your own.
I mainly did the dark grey for the background in apps because I liked the two tone look with the status bar being all black. Just a personal preference of mine... plus all I own is a bionic. I dont remember if their is a difference in the screen types or not, so it may indeed look a lot better all black on the Razr. I see you changed the screenshot icon in the status bar. I also thought adding the cloud and sun was a bit much, but I had the bottom of the border so thick because in my creativity I figured Id try and make it look like a polaroid lol. Ive just been trying to be abstract and creative while staying within the bounds of familiarity.
Anyways, thank you for the feedback! Its always good to hear a constructive critique.
