whats so different about this than the regular Opera Minis?
ok gave it a try, i gotta admit its extremely fast and smooth UI
One thing i don't like is
if you go to google.com it looks so awkward and low quality?
Also is there a way to make the websites not all be cramped up?
Overall, i think i'll keep this for a while, thanks for sharing.
It seems smooth and fluid... I use this when I pass 10GB and they throttle me but otherwise I prefer the chrome beta atm even tho this browser is a lot more fluid.

Just wondering if its just me, when you open Chrome BETA (cold start, meaning you have not previously opened it and it was not started previously) does it just start go to the regular white screen and stay there for about 10 seconds before loading?
Thats the one thing i hate, if that was fixed, i'd be back on Chrome, I'm on Dolphin HD right now and it opens in less than 2 seconds of my tap.

The only smooth launcher is motorolas own launcher, every single market launcher is unsmooth when scrolling, is this true for everybody else? Does anybody else know a launcher which would scroll smoothly on our razrs?
Launcher Pro works flawlessly, before and after updating.

Yes horizontal scrolls are lagging for me
I use go launcher ex and it is smooth as silk. Blows every other phone I've ever had away. Makes my GF's DX feel ten years old, and even my DX2 is slow in comparison.
Using Launcher2, the stock Android Gingerbread. Seem OK to me. The default Motoblur also OK and not bad at all.
I am not picky about the smoothness of the icons' scrolling, just what one of my iOS fan friends told me. The overall system performance, reception and stability are more important than menu scrolling. IMHO.
Thank you.
If you want smoothness then you should go for a WindowsPhone, but ADW Launcher is coming close. In fact, even launcher pro has been running very smooth on the Razr so maybe there are some settings you've missed?
Go launcher, ADW and launcher pro all work smooth for me. Both horizontal and vertical scrolling are flawless.

I believe ADW is so smooth due to the fact it uses harware accelerators. Go Launcher simply runs off the phones RAM so it can become laggy at times.

Pretty sure Ander Webs said hardware acceleration is not utilized as it breaks backwards compatibility. That's close to quotable. It was on Google+. He wants to use it but to fully upgrade ADW it would have to be a separate app.
Again guys, use the terminal suggestion I mentioned. Works wonders. Takes away redraws as well.

Well, on anderwebs website it says "Use of hardware acceleration on specific features when possible."
Not sure if that means it device specific or what, but all the websites I usually read from even report ADW uses it.
and this was listed under the latest update too

He almost sounded frustrated in the post I'm referring to. Now I have to find it. Lol.
But I do agree with a lot of you, ADW is the best. New update was nice too. But use that trick I mentioned. It'll make it better

Yeah definitely if you can find it post it. I would LIKE to believe what dev's claim but sometimes it can too good to be true.
I haven't rooted my razr yet, I did my bionic and my other droids. Not having a fastboot in case I get into trouble was a little bit of a turn off. I know there is a process but it sounds like a pain.

It's just as easy as the bionic man. Put Safestrap on afterwards, make a backup immediately, and you're fine. Safestrap is a wonderful safety net. Boots into recovery everytime. As long as you make that stock backup you're good.

You will have to scroll down through the comments to find Ander Webb. However, it's a great read, so I would recommend reading the entire article and all of the comments.
EDIT: Here is his quote: "This is a great post, I wish 99% users would read and understand it. But unluckily they just want their hardware acceleration turned on and the magic powers of it doing everything fly.
On a more technical note, I've noticed how expensive canvas operations (save layer, porterduff filters, etc) run about 2-4 times faster in software layers than hardware layers, and noticed how great hardware layers perform when using drawing caches.
The bad part is: for a developer, usually there's no easy way of changing the rendering pipeline while maintaining backwards compatibility. So I end up still doing almost everything on a canvas and loosing the benefits of the hardware acceleration for new devices: (" --Ander Webbs (ADW creator)

^ This. Contact the devs.
Only 1 so far I have found that does not work is SPD Shell 3D. Says it has ICS support but no go on my prime. Already e-mailed the dev.
App support will require some ICS loving to be applied to the apps, and even though ICS is consistent throughout both phones and tablets they may still have to make tegra 3 and tablet customizations to their ICS variant. Since that was only released 8 hours ago give it a little time.
Has anyone had problems charging after update? Mine doesn't seem to charge ...

I believe that is an ICS problem with the way ICS reports screen res or something. It is a known issue with Swype and hopefully a beta will be available by the end of the month to address it..

I opened the Google Music Application and it decided to form it in landscape instead of portrait, oh well. My real gripe here is how the phone seems to be able to handle more effects and images smoothly in landscape rather than in portrait. I scrolled through all my albums in landscape without a hiccup, no reloads of album art or skips while scrolling and it seems even smoother to scroll than in portrait. In fact, as soon as I switched to portrait it froze n force closed.
Is there a reason for all of this?

For real. I've messed up one step here n there while flashing everything. It's really crucial to 1. Wipe data. 2. Clear cache. 3. Clear dalvik. Then flash everything in order, wether it be the ROM itself or the gapps. It's like number one to follow whatever order the Dev's instructions are. I cant tell you how many times I've had to SBF and redo everything in order for everything to run smooth and no lag. Barely any fc's as you stated. So yes, I think a fresh start and a clean install is exactly what you need.

Haha, but mines does not work at all ever since all the updates. Has been really annoying having to log on to FB using a web browser (I use Chrome Beta or Dolphin. Either works for me) and having to update my status like that. Mines does not FC, but only when trying to update my status. Otherwise, I can basically do everything else, just cannot write a new status update.

Im using WAZE as my main GPS software and my problem with it is when I want to multitask by going to TuneInRadio or Chrome,
after a few seconds Waze stops and I have to start waze again, instead of just going to the window I was in.
I was told Samsung kills softwares after you are not using them, but is there a way to disallow this? I want to define that nothing kills waze but me, when exiting.
Any ideas?
