I just rooted and installed safestrap. These two questions may contradict each other but: What bloatware can I safely remove without screwing anything up? and What is the best ROM for the Razr? I'm a slight noob but not a complete idiot if I am given extensive instructions. I guess I am what you would call a power user? I want it to run as fast as possible and the battery life to be as good as possible. Those are my top 2 priorities. I use my phone a lot and am not convinced that I need to switch to Maxx, pretty sure the battery life of my razr will get the job done with a little help.
Dude get the Maxx. If you use your phone as much as you say you do then you do need it. I got the Maxx and love it! You won't need to tweak the Maxx.
The Maxx's battery last all day and then some. I streamed 4 hours of Pandora, made a couple of hours worth of phone calls, surfed for about an hour, and customized the ADW launcher for 20 minutes. After being on battery for 19 hours I still had 50% left!
Don't give it another thought and get the Maxx. It is awesome! I have spent years living and traveling with extra batteries, chargers everywhere just trying to get one day of phone use and the Maxx has changed all that. motoblur is actually improved since my Dx and I like it.
Well I was up till 2am trying Roms and then back to stock.

This was good but still missing something for me.

This was great I really like this but hated the fact you had to toggle gsm to lte alot. Atleast I did, maybe I didnt read enough. Dont remember the last one I used.
Some just took out to much bloat for me as I used some. Would have to find the .apk I wanted for the program. So far I guess my option is to do a rooted stock Rom and take what I want out. Then tweak what I want. As far as battery life I dont know as I didnt have them long enough. Also Imon a Maxx and it was never a problem.

Here is a list of some of what people have removed and it was no problem.
Thank you guys
Really appreciate the help from everybody. I guess I am just lying to myself. I need to get the Maxx.

If you have the option for the MAXX you should definitely get it. It's easier to hold and the change in battery life is amazing, worth the extra 60$ or so.
60$ very hight
The best ROM is not universal The best rom is the one that best suits your needs. This kind of threads have always ended up badly.
My advise, go here, read the characteristics of each rom, choose and try. The one that fullfills your needs, that is the best rom (for you )
Cheers.

Hi Guys,
I have vibrant and use cm7 rom. I wanted to get your opinion on what you think about SGS2. Is it worth to spend the money and upgrade?
How is GPS? In vibrant we have lots of problems with GPS. Also how is battery life?
Thanks in advance
I'm having no issues with battery at all, im easily getting a day out of it and not needing to charge until the following day! it takes a couple of charges to settle and once tweaked a little battery life is wicked!
I think this phone is well worth it, easily best phone I've ever owned.

What did you have before this? Because I have Vibrant and wanted to know if it's worth it to pay the money and upgrade.
Android wise,took a chance on an orange san francisco which i drowned and its the one phone i really miss!
As the insurance couldnt replace it they gave me a wildfire in return! Awful awful phone....would have rooted and installed New Rom if I could!
Definitely a major upgrade compared to both handsets and certainly won't look back.
I have to admit tho if this phone went (.)(.) up I would probably go back to OSFrancisco to get by!
I had a Galaxy S Captivate before my brand new Galaxy 2. My only complaint about the Captivate was the battery life and freezing. Losing it was the best excuse I had to upgrade. My G2 battery life is awesome and launches on SPB Shell 3D and never freezes. The best Smartphone I ever had.
Great! Thanks for your response.
I realized that right now I don't have that much money to buy G2. Maybe a little later or Maybe G3
good afternoon
im seeking help and advise in installing a custom rom that does the following
1) improve battery life (i bought the phone cause specs say 9 hour talk time)
2) speaker volume boost
3) light and stable
please help me i am struggling to use this phone as the battery dies super fast, very disappointed in motorola for razr although it produces great phones with long lasting battery.
Curious what you think good talk time is? What are you using your phone for? What is running in the backround that could be killing the battery. I left my Charge for the Razr Maxx and couldnt be happier.

I havent used any Roms but to help you could look and see what is running through applications and use auto end. IMO just look for a ROM that says debloated and go from there. What runs on one persons phone may run differenr on another. It can happen. Or you may not like what options were removed. One thing you could do is once rooted look at this as a partial guide of stuff that you could freeze as there are several programs that will do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341770
Here is one Rom that is debloated and has a few tweaks.

Or you could always just use a stock rooted Rom and learn or do things the way you want.
I didnt pay attention is your phone gsm or cdma?

from past week my phone is discharging very quickly and I changed different roms but no use and my battery stats is proper and I think my battery life has gone .....and should I replace new battery ? if so which battery fits properly .....as I stay in India no vibrant here .......but i9000 is there.........
If calibrating doesn't work then your battery could be bad. Other than vibrant the i9000 and topic touch 4g batteries work with the vibrant. Try ebay or amazon for cheap batteries.
Have you read this nifty little thread right here?

Also, what rom are you running? I'm asking because if its anything JB, I wouldn't expect much in terms of battery life.
Also, what kind of usage does your phone get on a daily basis? Are you a light or a heavy user?
What kernel are you running? Which i/o scheduler and Governor are you running with?
OC? UV? The more info the better my friend ^^
There's all that too, much more helpful then my response. I just figured all the basics where tried already. I've had batteries mess up on me before. My original g1 battery got so bad that when I checked it, it was bloated.

Aha, both are helpful ^^ It's all pieces of the puzzle in my eyes lol
But if we can get a good idea of what the root of the problem is, we may be able to fix it without him having to buy a battery :]
I remember when I used to get 7 hours at best outta my phone, and I thought that was normal...but then I learned a few tricks, and
now I never get below an easy 24 hours on my phone, no matter what rom I am running. ^^
after calibrating it is working fine ..............thnx guys saved me from buying new battery
Just wondering if the differences in the two are normal.
I owned a SGS2 for a long time, and the battery would sometimes be just awful. There were days when it would drain 1% on standby, and then days when it was like 5-7% on standby - which is pretty bad for not using the phone at all.
I finally gave up on non-nexus phones and got myself a gnex and its freaking awesome. On a typical day, i leave for work at 7, and get home at 3 with 70% left - with some use.
I switched back to my SGS2 to see if there was still a difference even when running a newer/better rom, and battery life still seems pretty bad. I was at my other job today, and my Gnex will usually drain 15% over 8 hours, today my SGS2 drained 70%
Is this normal? I have bbs and cpu spy installed, and will post results after work tomorrow if anyone is interested.
I was planning on giving this to my mom as her first smartphone (i thought the lower DPI would be better for her eyes), but now im thinking i should just sell this, and then use whatever i get to put towards a Gnex.
Next time man just post one thread regarding your questions and issue. No need to make one here and one in general. And to answer your question about battery life it depends what rom yer running and what apps u have installed. And I suppose how u use the phone as well, referring to whether u listen to tons of music or mainly for calling, either way good luck, happy flashing.

Identical everything with the exception that the SGS2 is AOKP, and the Gnex is paranoid android. When i installed AOKP on my SGS2, i literally sat there and made it so both phones look about identical - with the exception of rom specific things like the notification menu and stuff like that. Same apps, same settings, same homescreen setup, etc etc etc.
All things being equal - is the gnex that much better on battery life?
I know sounds crazy but Ive never been happy with the battery life in my Rezound...but now it seems that with every new android iteration that comes out it gets a little bit worse. I remember when I was unhappy with getting 2+ hours of screen on time and now Im wishing I could do that again. I definitely got better battery life on ICS...not really sure about gingerbread because Im not sure Ive ever ran it on this phone.
Anyone have an ideas on where I can find some? I know its a bit of an odd question but as of now Im looking for the best battery life I can possible get on 4g over anything else.

Try EclipticRez Revamped v9... It gave me the best battery life of any ROM on the Rezound. The main drawback is Google Now, it is not supported in ICS and there is a hacked version in the ROM, so you can't update or change it. If you don't use this your good, I just used Chrome and it's search function.
I never use google now anyway....
Well that was way too sensey, even de sensed, and it ran oddly on my phone...I just reloaded CM9..we will see how that does.
