Battery life after root and unlock?

My battery life seems to be worse now that I unlocked and rooted. I also have CWM installed. Anyone else notice this?
I have cleared my battery stats twice, and gone through a few charge cycles....maybe I will unroot and see if that matters.....certainly don't want to remove CWM.
Anyone seeing anything similar?

After root, unlock and TWRP I see the same if not better battery life, of course removed things with TiBu.

Where did you get your device unlocked? I haven't seen anywhere for the Razr Maxx HD.

You have to be on the XT925 (non verizon) or the HD Developer Edition on Verizon. None of the others can be unlocked.

Mine is the same.

So let me be clear. In this case, for this one forum. Unlock = unlocked boot loader? vs. SIM unlock?

Better battery life
I have nexus 4 with stock ROM and it's definitely better after rooting it.

Rooting jb with maxx hd preloaded with jb

Im getting my maxx hd in two days and noticed some ways to root on ics. If i get my maxx and its preloaded with jb can i still use matts utility to fastboot back to ics and get root then use rootkeeper?
Thanks!

It will probably come pre-loaded with ICS but if for some reason it comes with JB then yes you can restore back to ICS and root. Enjoy

I just got my good old RAZR Maxx HD after a repair and they already upgraded it to jb 4.1.1 (when I shipped, he had ICS). Is it possible to go back to ICS now? Anyone has done it? Thanks in advance.

Yes sir it is! Just Google matts utility and download that. Make sure to backup all your data before you restore your phone back to ICS. Enjoy!

Thanks man... but other people say it's impossible to downgrade to ICS once u had stock jb. How can I do it without bricking my spanking new Droid?

Other people don't know what they are talking about haha. I have been restored back to ICS multiple times. Use Matt's utility and I am sure you will not have any problems whatsoever.

New to the HD

OK, just traded my S3 for this bad boy and even though I can't unlock the boot loader its still awesome and I love it. I do have it rooted on the latest firmware but like I said, no unlock sadly. How much fun can I actually have with it just rooted but not unlocked?

You can now rest easy knowing that when you turn on your phone you wont be frightened by TouchPiss and the gawd awful button layout.
Now the fun really beings. Make your own mods. No more flashing broken roms and waiting for the dev to fix them. You start with the stable stock rom and mod it. Although my bl is unlocked this is what im doing.

Can I flash things without an unlocked bootloader?? I mainly want a kernel which might not happen. :/

And yea, touchwiz got old. I absolutely love the build quality and screen on this phone!!! Amazing!

Im pretty sure you are sol. Sorry.

Can't flash a different kernel but as mentioned you can do basic mods or even use safestrap and use some of the old roms.

What kind of build prop mods can I do to help with speed?

I don't know about build prop tweaks but have you ditched the stock launcher yet? Nova and Apex are both smoother and faster than the stock one.

Afaik the bootloader is locked and you can unlock the Maxx dev edition only by requesting an unlock key from Motorola.

Thanks !!

Sorry to bother you but just one last question since I have a Droid ultra will the unlock key from Motorola for the droid maxx Dev edition still work on my ultra?

Unless it's a Dev Edition, and AFAIK, the only Dev Editions were Maxxes, not Ultras, you won't be getting an unlock key from Motorola. Those are strictly for Dev Editions.

Man that really stinks I wish I got the maxx Dev edition thanks anyway though!

Stock Firmware for XT926M?

Sorry if this has been answered numerous times in the past... but does the XT926M use the same firmware as the XT926? Meaning does the RAZR Maxx HD use the same firmware as the Razr HD?
Looking at the SBF site I see files for the Droid RAZR HD but not the MAXX version. Thanks for the answers in advance!

Yes, both XT926 phones use the same firmware.

Thanks! That's what I thought, but I didn't want to assume and use a bad version on RSDlite and really mess myself up.

You're welcome!
