just a follow up
Got my verizon replacement bionic (made sure in RSD lite that it had nothing on it (you can see the phone model etc,, well on mine it shows nothing) ,, (i.e. flashed 902 though it doesnt take but it will have at least hopefully no half baked ICS software to show I messed with it) also moto fast boot and did the commands to wipe,, etc..
New phone had no sim no battery or door and no sd card, used what I had and it works fine,,
did OTA update to 902 then 905 then flashed the 905toICS V 230 update over that,
did razors edge root method and with set CPU I get 1.2 on this,, ( I only ever got 1 on my old one and it was one of the first bionics out)
Did not de odex (not theming anything) plus from reading online about odex.. uses less internal memory and loads a little quicker- just not theme change friendly
running apex launcher, no data issue, extremely fast,,, not sure you get the swap at a verizon store, but over the phone was easy. Box came with pre paid postage to return my old one. Really glad I did it.
P.S. waiting on sIII since I hear the VZW version has locked bootloader and I do not want to pay $600 for one..
So my setup now is
230 ICS rooted, apex launcher, Set cpu with standard of 800-1.2 1000-1.2 during call 300-600 when screen is off, 600-800 when battery is below 40%
1 minute screen timout and using Motorola auto actions to turn wifi on at home and bluetooth on during working hours.
link2sd to move many apps to a partition on the class 10 16gb sd card, not all just many,, games and home based apps (widgets or anything active on the home screens) I leave internal, just seems to run faster.
samurais script to upgrade works but I choose to copy the 905-ICS 230 portion to my sd card and use stock recovery to load it..
Battery mods do not work, guessing it is a permission thing. WIFI mobile hotstpot does work after you go to the database (settings.db) and change permissions prior to trying to use SQLlite to edit the entitlement check digit..
no audio issues, no lag, really liking my bionic for a nice change.
I'm no dev but if you try any of this out and get stick send me a message I will gladly try to help.
4g is solid, 3g hand off works, flash works, video streaming works, no problems, no reboots, no FC..
