Razr i development future

Hi, i have a Motorola defy and i want to buy a razr i, But first i want to know if this device Will have cyanogenmod and active development.
And besides i want to know if it Will be a good purchase.
Thanks in advance and greetings from argentina

In my view, it will be certainly a good purchase, but the chance of the device receiving a 'non-stock-based' ROM like CyanogenMod, as things are now, is very low. The sources released by Motorola are broken.
Things may well change in a very near future, but that is my hope and nothing more concrete than that (again, considering things as they are now).
BTW, I must say I am having the 'smoothest' and 'closest-to-pure-android' experience in a stock ROM ever. I'm really happy with it.

Thanks for the quick answer But i have another doubt. What about the performance vs galaxy s3 for example, i was reading that the razr is faster than the s3 when you open an app. Is that True? Also understood that the camera isnt very good, what about that?
Thanks again

In raw performance, the S3 will surely beat the RAZR i. But it seems legit that the perceptive performance, mainly general usage of apps and system features, is on par with the S3. I haven't had a S3 in my hands to really attest it, though.
The camera produces lots of noise on dark photos. LOTS of noise. But overall it is fine, if you don't expect your phone to replace a dedicated camera for the most demanding situations.

AW: Razr i development future
Its fast at opening apps fast st browsing loading pages and JScript overall the best with the iPhone.
It doesn't bench bad, at CPU and memory its very fast while the GPU performance is bad, good enough for all games with some reduced details though.
If you want a fast phone with good battery life and compact size its RAZR I or iPhone 5.
If u can live or even want it big go s3, nexus4 they are good phones, the one x plus is good too but its expensive.

The sources were fixed a long time ago by Motorola! Why everybody is saying the same wrong things over and over again????
Stop doing this, then maybe at some point somebody will develop sth

All I know is that they did release new sources, but haven't seen anyone built it successfully yet nor use it to build a device tree for a custom ROM.
If you know something else, please share with us.

The problem was that at the very beginning the source packages / one of the source packages was corrupted, which means that it was not extractable. This was fixed in November or December according to the razr i sourceforge page. Now you can download and extract all files. The fact that nobody was able to compile it does not mean that they gave us bad sources!!! Its just not completely easy and needs some experience ...

[Q] 5L for RAZR-I. Why not?

Are any restrictions for 5L in Razr-I ?

No restrictions on the hardware side. Go forward and do it.
A more serious problem is the missing manpower, to solve some problems because the source is not complete (cf. here).
I am always wondering why people think that it is self evident that someone will make perfect custom rom if the hardware allows it (kudos to them who do).

Thanks a lot for your answer! Until we are wondering we are living. The number of RAZR-I owner who are interesting in L5 is more then who are interesting in proper work of 4.4. beta (acc to threads list ) It is a magic our hardware allowance, isn't it?

If they are really keen on doing it, i'm sure they can. But at this point I just don't think it's worth it. Considering it is a 2 years old device. The more popular S3 didn't even get 4.4 and is stuck at 4.3, and that is around the same age as the RAZR i. They announced the 4.4.2 for RAZR i a long time back, and till now it is not out yet, which shows how little resources are being dedicated to bringing more updates to the RAZR i. I'm pretty sure 4.4.2 update when it does roll out will be the last update for the device.
I would be happy with a 4.4.2 with as little bugs as possible.

there's no hope, i remember in somehow that i read, this is the last upgrade to Ri, there's no more future plans to update this device...
but don't worry, maybe we can port 5L to Ri...
..."maybe"

The phone simply does not Cut it Performance wise. All those Animations...

Time to say goodbye

The feared day has come. Last night my phone lost all usb connectivity and wouldn't charge anymore.
So it's time to depart, i will be spending the night choosing between the z1 compact and the m7 and by tomorrow I'll be off to my new thread.
I would like to thank those who followed me in my (scarce) projects and those who helped me realize them.
 @laufersteppenwolf @Adam77Root @Demetris @iodak @Flying_Bear @ectoplasma22 thank you for your work and
making this a greatly respectable thread.
I'm starting to tear now, I really wish I didn't have to leave,
I even considered repairing the phone but the battery life had gotten just too frustrating
I leave behind me a small but necessary fix for the proximity sensor so I can retire happily
Thank you again guys, see you around!

;'( manly tear was shed
Thank you for taking your time to fix the proximity sensor issue, and thank you for being an extremely benefitial and helpful member of the community; people like you are the reason why I'm coming back here regularly. I wish you luck with your future device(s), and hopefully we'll meet eachother on the forum again on a next-gen flagship thread.
Take care.

See you. Good luck!

Well this is kinda end of a road for me too since i got mine S3 Neo GT I9301I couple days ago and give LG to my sister You wanted to thank all the guys on this thread and forum for helping and making this phone awesome :highfive: @Adam77Root @laufersteppenwolf @iodak @Demetris and all other people who helped developing roms for LG 4x deserve speacial thanks.Will from time to time come here and scoope what are you guys cooking here

What a coincidence
I am also leaving
I'm going to swap my phone for a Z2 .Mainly because of limiting hardware 4x HD got.The camera is horrible in dark, battery life (you already know it), I got dust under screen once again 1 week after getting it cleaned and it lets me down in daily usage.
I've had my arguements with people in here,I've made friends but in the end it was all for the good of our phone. Farewell 4x HD community
My legacy for this community are my projects (in signature).They shouldn't need any updating, if they ever do I'll do so and provide support where possible.

well, I understand you, but I think there is no phone with good price and good specs, I would prefer something like a new Elephone P7000 (metal cover + 3GB ram + manufacter custom rom support and full hd insted of nonsense 2K) but with MTK6795 instead of MTK6752 which is on-board... (it's not a bad cpu, but I want to have my next phone again about 3 years, so I always buy something a bit better than mid-end)

Question about another device

Hey guys I am currently looking into buying another device to use on my service. Does any one have any good suggestions on alternate devices? If so which ones and why? I am only starting this discussion to get advice from an experienced group of like minded people. I am currently bouncing back and forth on looking for a good used device to root and play with as well or get a newer one and leave stock for personal use. What are your guys thoughts on that? Also curious on smart watches or something with a stylus for work, I take a lot of notes and draw a lot of rough schematics for work and I think that would be handy to have. I have had and used HTC since the HD and I have always liked them. I had a samsung Mega for awhile and loved the screen on that but samsung sucks for software so I don't think I will ever have a stock samsung again. Again just trying to start a discussion on this.

The Nexus 6 is great, it has a huge screen and good front speakers like the m8... It's also pure Android

Xposed, GB, CM... What's best for the 1st Gen MotoX?

Hi!
Of course googling gives a general idea of them all but it would be great to know how you guys/girls feel it relates to the first gen Moto X, seeing on how I don't need to convince any of you of its amazingness.
I just resurrected my old XT1058 and for the life of me I can't see how any of the new phones out there are any better. I feel sane again holding it in my hand, something I haven't felt in a long time.
I'm a heavy user of things like sms, voice, calendar, and google maps and I'm quite happy with it's performance.
My concern is long term viability. I understand stagefright is dealt with by upgrading to lollipop 5.1 I think. But what about the future? If more vulnerabilities come out, is this why we might consider a custom ROM, for example?
Thanks for your help!

I feel like going Oogway on you. Yesterday is history , tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift . That is why it's called the present . We don't know what's going to happen when it comes to vulnerabilities ....
Long term viability you say ? I'd point out that the hardware is your main point of concern, Buy a spare battery . When it comes to software , I'll bet that after the first year, the whole voice control activity is minimal. The only thing that you might miss is the Active Display . Or not , considering that the "ACDisplay" application and inbuilt "Ambient display" in AOSP based ROMs have reported to work just as well as the stock ROM.
Your options aren't limited when it comes to custom ROMs either . Megatron007 is pushing out excellent ROMs at an alarming rate .
We have official support from the cyanogen Mod team .
Stock ROM (4.4.4) is rock solid and Xposed can give you everything else you need .
:highfive: Imma hold on to this baby for a while .
P.S
2 Years on and no complaints other than an unoptimized Lollipop stock ROM... Wait ! they covered that too . (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/crashx-t3223361)
