Even Google now scrolling between cards is stuttering. Droid-Life.com stutters, sipping between home screens or to quick sins page is also stuttering. I thought project butter was supposed to make this phone buttery smooth.

Try a factory reset first

Quick Settings and Manage Pages definitely still stutter as they did in ICS. It's a moto thing, other launchers are smooth.
Everything else seems to be very smooth, for me at least. Is anyone not having those same stutters in the moto launcher?

Definitely more stutters than there should be on this phone, not sure what's up. Kind of thinking I shoulda got the s3. Usually just on the home screen but sometimes other places too.

Every time there is a major software version release, I completely wipe my phone to factory defaults & wipe the cache partition.
That way you can at least rule out a "faulty" upgrade.
This phone really should not have any stutter or lag on JB...
Where is project butter in this upgrade?

My phone was generally wonky and had plenty of stutters after the JB OTA. I held off for a while but finally did a factory reset last week and it made a HUGE difference. I also use Apex rather than the stock launcher and froze a bunch of bloat.

Stock launcher is worst launcher i have seen in a while. Circle widget and Side settings page is awesome ... but what the benefit if it lags as hell!.. JB update on this phone is a fail. Not sure how it helped us to get better performance.
Google now and the launcher are the main problem...generally speaking, most other programs and animations are *usually* OK. Every once in a while animations stutter for some unknown reason, but is not common. That being said, I don't really see the effects of project butter. Coming from a windows phone, this is not as smooth. I do still love my new phone for other reasons, though.
And if Google and Motorola can't push out an update without users having to factory reset, there is a problem. From a consumer standpoint, factory resets are a huge hassle and commitment of time...it shouldn't be necessary.

I think the poster before me is correct about the stock launcher and Google Now. In addition to using the Apex launcher I have GNow disabled. I can feel the Project Butter after being stuck on Gingerbread on my old Thunderbolt then starting out with ICS on my Maxx HD.
As far as people having to factory reset after the JB OTA I don't think that's been the case for everyone. It made a big difference for me, but I agree that I should not have needed to do it at all.

Guys, even after a hard reset, stuttering still present for me... Will at least RSD lite flashing help in getting my device to work as it should?
I am on 4.1.2 JB O2 Germany stock ROM.
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
Update - flashed again, using RSD lite, and still stuttering... Will do it again, with another ROM. Any differences between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 versions of JB?

This is very strange, mironiko - can you take a video to show us the stutters please? Interested to see on which actions it is stuttering the most.
Don't have a device to make the video... For instance, it stutters in Facebook, during usual scrolling, in Tapatalk, even in Gtalk or other system apps - animations are rather choppy, and I can't really see the Project Butter effect here...
Thinking of flashing Telstra ROM or some other, but don't know if it is gonna make things better... I don't see a reason for O2 Germany ROM not to work as good as the others, or even better, being 4.1.2.
May some app be causing that?
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
Ah, I've read quite a few times that Google Currents on the Nexus 7 was causing stuttering if background sync is enabled - do you use this application?
No. Not even Google now. When it comes to Google apps, I only have Gmail, Gtalk, Search, Maps, Street view and Earth.
I really don't know what to do. I'll hate myself if I do a new flash (Telstra ROM, for instance) and a hard reset, and it doesn't help...

I would assume everyone has stutters but some noticemore than others.
It is not due to specific apps, it is just apparently poor coding on Motorola behalf, which is a shame I otherwise love the phone.

I agree with this. I posted on the official Motorola forum and eventually got someone in charge to recognize what we have been talking about, so maybe we will see a fix at some point. Hopefully before I move on to the Motorola X

I have read several articles online saying the Droid Razr HD has options to edit the lockscreen after the update to 4.1. I can't seem to get to these settings am I missing something? For example I have found in several places to follow these steps:
To customize your lock screen, go into Settings, tap on Security, then tap on Lock screen options. From here, you'll be able to set up Shortcuts.
In the attached pictures you will see I don't have this option to select. I know I could use widget locker and actually I have tried it but I cant configure one set of media buttons to work with Google Play, Pandora and my podcast player Doggcatcher even when using Tasker. Can anyone tell me if I am wrong or why I keep finding articles saying I can edit the lock screen in 4.1?
I have a rooted Droid Razr Maxx HD I bought from Verizon running the 4.1 OTA update. I do have somethings frozen with Titanium Backup but I don't think anything I have frozen would affect this setting.
Below are two of the sites that lead me to think I could do this.

Lockscreen widgets are a feature from 4.2 which isn't available on the RAZR HD or DROID RAZR HD. You could try widgetlocker or another lockscreen replacement
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app
Thats right, i'm using Widgetlocker, to make "different" the lockscreen, it a really cool app the detail is that when you put a code to you phone you have to unlocked twice 1 for widgetlocker and 1 for the phone

Americans felt the need to rebrand the phone as DROID RAZR. Also its XT926 instead of XT925 but that's CDMA vs GSM/UMTS/wtvr

So I stumbled into all this rootin tootin bootin recently with zero experience (a vagigantic thanks to rootjunkys vids and my djbliss for providing fall-of-a-log easy instructions) Just upgraded my phone to this kick ass HD (without hardly any research!) and now its all ready to do whatever I want so.... now what?
I installed a bunch of gaurdian project apps (Orbot, TorBrowser, Gibberbot, etc) for anonymity. But where do I learn about the Android file structure and safely deleting "things"? I mean, I still have Real Racing 2 on here because I am not confident with navigating ES File Explorer and uninstalling it yet.
Who's can point me to resources where I can better learn Android? Is the Android dev site the best we got?
Big thanks!

Congratulations on doing all of that, you're on your way!
The way I taught myself all of the dos and donts was to simply install safe strap, flash ROMs, and just experiment. There are a ton of resources out there that can help you along the way, but the best way to learn is to definitely jump right in.
my recommendation, would be to install safestrap, install the stock droid RAZR HD rom into a ROM slot, root that one too, and try deleting apps, seeing what works and what doesn't. When in safe strap, you're in a separate "partition" from your stock slot, so you can't damage anything precious, but its always a good idea to back everything up! If you're looking for good tweaking applications, the one I use is "Pimp my ROM", Its free on the Play Store, and it is loaded with all kinds of features that can make your rooted ROM work like a dream! I can't get to a computer right now so I can't provide you any specific resources, but just PM me if you want and I can hook you up with some more information!
Cheers!

Congrats. I personally wouldnt remove apps via any file manager app. Too messy, to prone to errors. You would be much better off installing Titanium Backup. with it, you can first "Freeze" an app, which disables it. You can then decide if that didnt break anything, and then go ahead and actually delete the app in a similar fashion. I do disable all those bloatware apps so that none of them can run in the background, but unless my phone is low on storage, no real reason to delete them, just in case you change your mind.
OK great thanks.. Just dl'd the Titanium Backup. Will play with it later.

OK so I get the "check Unknown sources box" message from Titanium Backup. When I go to Settings, Apps, I have no options to choose from. Just shows Running, Cached and All apps listed. Where the heck are these all settings at?

Hi everyone, I just got the max HD and my complaint is that it feels very laggy Compared to my wife's s3. Thanks!
I'm running liquidsmooth and I really like it so far..... I ran PAC for a few days but it had quite a few f/c's and lockups. I should mention, I've only installed two roms... So Might not be much help..
I had a lot of lag issues with the stock 4.1.2 firmware then installed slimbean and haven't looked back.
Great ROM, very snappy.

Concur on slimbean. I haven't tried anyone else yet and in no rush actually. At some point I probably will just out of curiosity. Anyway slimbean is super nice and much more fluid than stock. I love the idea of the rom being lightweight, still no real sacrifices made. It is also officially supported and with weekly builds. I recommend real dark slim for totally pure black look.
I'm running off Liquid Smooth on my XT926 and it's really smooth and snappy but I'm experiencing problems such as certain apps not working, random reboots, and apps freezing and crashing as well.
Currently running AOKP_xt925_unofficial_2013-07-26 - very VERY stable, snappy and great options/customization
Imo Carbon and Liquid are the best, im on the 7-31 nightly (Liquid) and there is no lag and none of the reboot/freeze issues most of the previous nightlies had. Haven't had a single crash in 3 days :thumbup:
Sent from my XT926 using Tapatalk 2
I recommend to try out the very new CyanogenMod nightly you now can find on the official homepage. It is not the most feature filled room but I am amazed how smooth everything is. This is exactly how stock should ought to have been. So far no crashes or any problems what so ever. If you want more features I recommend something like slimbean but cm is a really good place to start. Cm has demonstrated to me for good that the hardware in RAZR HD is perfectly adequate, if there is any lack it is only because of software.
I noticed you guys have Slimbean. I highly recommend it. I got it running on both of my devices, and If I get this it'll be running Slimbean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288532
It's fast, sexy and it gets the job done.
I'm also back on slimbean again. There is no fault with CM. For some it will be the perfect alternative to stock. It's smooth and simple. Slimbean is perfect for me. It is also smoother than stock and in addition has a ton of customization options to play around with. I'm currently on the last beta or alpha (I'm not sure) that there is a link to in one of the last posts in the slim thread. Despite the status as experimental, it has been completely stabile since I flashed it. For me it took almost I year before I unlocked (fear of loosing warranty etc.) but I'm really happy to have done it now. It's almost like getting a new phone. I think razr HD development is thriving quite well now.
yep the official slimbean build 8 is now out. super easy to install and manage and i am an amateur.

I've been very happy with Nova, worth the few bucks, and the scrolling wallpaper again if you like that!
Don't forget to reboot your phone every day or two.

I'm on Stock and it took some time, and some optimation via Autostarts, Greenify, LagFix Premium and Governor Change via SetCPU helped in some way. Additionally i'm using Nova Launcher as Launcher and used Android Tweaker PRo.
Phone is way snappier than before, so i can stay with stock.

You're correct that the stock launcher is the main problem. I've been running Nova for a few months and the difference is staggering.

Just take that ish back my friend and get a new one. I had no problems with mine. Use stability test on play to test processor my MFLOPS was 620. Let the test run for an hour or something. If its messing up post the errors on here. I ran it for an hour on LiquidSmooth with no probs.
In my experience (which is limited) the only lag free user experience I've had with any Android phone is in an aosp or aokp rom. Does any manufacturer make an out of the box lag free Android phone? I find even freezing bloat does little to cure lag. what are your thoughts?

if you want a lag-free phone starting off look for a nexus ... that's pure android there no more tweaks than that
I'm vzw so will probably never have another shot at a Nexus or G. E. phone. Can't leave until wife's contract up plus I want to keep unlimited data. Are Nexus really lag free?
