When you say deal with safe strap what do you mean I have had zero issues.

I'm glad that u haven't had any problems w/SS, but for me, it has been nothing but. It's good to use to install certain things, but other ROMs require Bootstrap recovery. If u have both of them installed, u'll have A LOT of bad stuff to deal with. I guess SS is fine for the most part as long as u remember when to uninstall it! lol
 
I see what your saying. I have steered clear of bootstrap just because it does not make me feel safe. It makes me feel like if something happens it can go very wrong. But that's just me.
 
See, I totally trust myself enough to love bootstrap, but I also understand it being a little spooky, it is really working without a net. If we could just flash kexec ala carte in bootstrap like we used to do the projekt opptimizer module in GB, few commands scripted at boot to clock the CPU and GPU, good times.

As much as I would love to explore the idea of a new phone, I'm not wealthy enough to afford to do so. I'm fairly happy with my Bionic and will be using it for the duration of the contract, possibly longer. My line is on the 4gb plan but my girls line has unlimited so we might just stick it out with this phone for a while longer to avoid losing her unlimited. Im never going to pay full retail for a phone just too much money for me to spend.

I know exactly where you are coming from. I don't have cash laying around to go out and buy the next best thing. I usually stick with what I can afford. The only reason I was able to get my bionic was that my dad wanted an iphone so I got his bionic from him for a recliner that was not being used by us except for a dog hair magnetic because they liked to rest their heads on it (got 3 labs). My phone before this was a sh**ty lg ally. I was glad to get off that phone. And I wasn't going to upgrade my phone and lose my unlimited data. The first month with my bionic I used over 3gb of data.

Even running the velocity rom on my ally didn't help it. So when I got the bionic I was used to gb. But since installing 232 I will never go back to gb. Biggest reason is because of battery life. On gb I would have between 25% - 15% left after work. On 232 I now have between 70% - 50% left. That alone to me is worth installing 232.

I know I will have this phone for a while because it does more than enough and anything I will ask it to do. So coming from the ally to the bionic is like going from a pinto to a corvette. I am very happy with the bionic.

C'mon guys. Moto build is still strong. Look at rhe plusses if that's a word.

True moto has the best chipsets in the industry especially there radios. Not to mention they have moved away from TI to intel an intel has been making chipsets longer than any other company also their current chipsets they have made for moto will put the s4 snapdragon in the dust so dont hate on a phone or dismiss a moto phone for bad software an support just flash a rom/kernel to get rid of the bugs its the hardware u want cuz u cant change the hardware but u can change the software

Actually their atom CPU has already been tested on the moto phone, and it only was faster on rendering html, in all the other tests it was 20% slower, the only test when it was faster was a test that is done inside a browser (i personally dont use the browser that much on my phone)

It's also just a beginning. For a SINGLE CORE CPU, the Atom does very well. I think what you're going to see with the Atom is incredible battery life, not incredible performance (at this point of the game).
 
There's 2 games to play. Many apps are single threaded, so having 2 cores isn't as good as having 1 ultra-fast core. It's a balancing act. It's also the first chip Intel has put into a smartphone, so I expect it to only be so-so. But with the amount of money Intel can throw into R&D, they can easily blow other CPUs out of the water if they try. There's a reason why Intel dominates the x86 market in performance. Just as comparison, Intels R&D budget was $3.4 Billion in 2011 and Texas Instrument's R&D Budget is $1.7Billion for 2012. How much is spent on mobile CPU development is unknown, but Intel coul easily out-spend Texas Instruments if they tried. They almost certainly are right now since they're still early in the game for CPU architecture development.

Give them 5 years, I'm betting most of us will have an Intel CPU. Only time will tell though. :)

True. 7-8 yrs ago a lot of us found out that an overclocked celeron was as good as a P4 hyperthreader on games, bc most games then were single threaders. On autocad and other engineering wares the hyperthreader was king.
