I'm actually not sure if this is the appropriate place to be asking, but since this forum doesn't have a Cliq section, I figure this was a good guess. If it's the wrong place, Mods, please feel free to move the topic.
Here's a long story short. A friend of mine wants me to root her Cliq for her so she can have tethering when she's away from home to avoid paying the insane costs of hotel wifi. She doesn't live near me, I'm in Indiana & she's in Minnesota, but a group of us are going to Atlanta next week where the rooting will occur.
Now that that's out of the way, I have a question. She mentioned the rom Bugless Beast running for her Cliq. I haven't been able to find any websites saying that BB is capable of running on the Cliq. As I mentioned that this forum doesn't have a Cliq section, what are some good roms for it? I know my Evo roms, because I've tried them all out over a period of a month now. But with this situation, I'm going to have a day or so to get a good rom on there for her. I've found a few on different sites & I've seen a few people say that this rom is a good one to use if you want tethering.
Do we have any Cliq users here or previous Cliq users? What rom(s) did you use?

I just purchased a new vibrant 4g which is currently on its way. My question is will I be able to root it with the same process as the 3g vibrant and will I be able to use Masters/Team Whiskey roms on them can anyone please explain. I never post on xda so hopefully this is where this type of question belongs.....
No they are different enough they will not just flash, but converting Say a trigger or other Rom to the 4g will be totally doable, just depends on whether the devs actually get that phone. My guess not many will.
thanks for the response that really sucks I know I could have done the modification for the ffc on my own I really needed the 4g tethering so that was the only reason I gave up my vibrant. Looks at the specs the phones are pretty much exactly the same I see most devs taking the vibrant 4g and porting them over to the vibrant 3g I was hope I was going to be able to use some of the roms which sucks. I may just keep the vibrant 3g and not sell it not... thats dissappointing news thanks for the info

Now to give you an answer: I have both phones. The 4g will have custom ROM's infact there are already 3 of them made by team whiskey. The problem is not having CWM working on our 4g phones yet. However, someone over at TW will be looking into getting this going this weekend. Once that is finished we will be capable of running custom ROM's
One good thing that bruce lee doesn't understand is that all these new PORTS the vibrant have been getting will require less modifying to work on the 4G.. Much smoother.
Bruce Lee sorry to kinda kick ya there, but how about not being a **** when your asking some noobish questions in your thread yourself. Everyone learns by asking questions.
Omg! just joshing. Although it is funny how all these people sooo anxious to hop on the latest and greatest where so sure 4g was going to be the natural progression of development. And despite many saying a ride on 4g wagon was illogical since theres no real advantage, an unlucky few still jumped.
Hey look, stop lying to these people; exclusive development for the 4g will likely never pick up. Even on tw own forum, was a guy advised to return the 4g because of its grim future. Every two years your carrier gives you the option to "upgrade" to a better phone not "side-step" to an equally comparable phone.
And just to be clear, I'm not trying to poke fun at the questioner. The above post is correct to state that no question is dumb are irrelevant and I live by this philosophy, as my previous post prove, and I am not ashamed of that. This was just a knee jerk reaction to some who i consider delusional in thinking 4g is so much more superior. Just thinking out loud

Lovemysgs is correct, there are a couple- 3, And without CWM flashing them is not as easy as most are used to, So, depending on your understanding of how to mod the phone and how to use some of the other tools like adb SDK and Odin, I usually tell the less skilled or the less familiar to wait until the beta becomes a normal release.
Also, when they do mod these roms it WILL be much easier like lovemysgs said. The only real problem is alot of devs will have moved on to other phones since this is not really a new phone just an upgrade to the Vibrant. So I would guess there will be less support.
Good question BTW
The roms wont work but u can still change a few things on it. The Linda sounds posted in the theme section works. You just have to move the files with root explorer. Also the transition animations done through metaphorph work. And you can change the touchwiz launcher with sgs tools. And you can change the shutdown but not the bootup animations.

I am no expert, I simply enjoy rooting pretty much everything I have relating to technology. Now, the Razr is an amazing phone, and BECAUSE its an amazing phone, I decided NOT to root it until a way to Unbrick became available. Well, that day came (A droidrzr dot come link), so of course, I rooted my Razr and installed the only rom I saw available for the VZW version. Here's the dilemma:
I am in no way making demands or trying to offend anyone, I simply have a question: Are there more ROMS coming out for the RAZR? I have seen all of the mods in these forums, I just have no need for them. I ask because the day my Evo 3D became 'rootable', about 4 or 5 ROMS rolled out right pretty much within hours, and while we DO have a custom ROM for the RAZR, umm...that's it. I appreciate the ROM, I have it installed, but supposedly the big deal was that there was no way to recover from an unbricked RAZR, and now there is, yet there's really no activity in the DEV section aside from people arguing about the locked bootloader.
Maybe I'm just ignorant and the fastboot files don't provide any help at all. I'll attribute that to what I said at the beginning, that I'm not an expert. I was just hoping someone could clarify because I literally check this forum twice a day hoping to see [ROM] at the beginning of a post and [CDMA] right next to it.
Thank you beforehand for any help or clarification!

easy answer
there's no real need of completely modded roms, and roms wich went out, are more optimization roms...
and... ics is on the way, think is a little useless, start thinking of making entire projects on gingerbread, knowing in a month we are going on a really different android version
True, true...but wasn't the ICS source/code already released? Or does it depend from device to device?
Ok all this is what I just found over at another site... Since info on ROMS seems to be in short supply here.... I will offer this.... To my knowledge, this is the most current rom for the RAZR and/or Razor Maxx using ICS....from DroidTh3ory
Razr Operating Roms in order have been; RazrX, then RazrXv1.2, then Eclipse, then Ic3, then Axiom, and now this...wow...all of a sudden that report about ICS in research stage doesn't matter so much, I'm sure the camera will be available within the next month, and being that I use safestrap, a 5 minute swap to the stock rom with working camera for now is easy...amazed at the work everyone does, and feeling better than ever about choosing the Razr over the ReZound and GNex.
MOD Edit: Lets wait for original developers permission to share his work ok?
You don t respect the post title standarts ...

We really need to get past this point of bickering over posting sites. In the years i've been at XDA, this last year has been horrendous for this kind of stuff. Never in the past has this happened before. People freely posted links to anywhere where we could find a ROM or solution. Now there is unnecessary politics involved at every corner. XDA has no reason to be threatened by any razr site. Even if we all start using alternate razr sites, it will mean nothing to XDA. They are a huge site supporting hundreds of phones. I don't think the site cares if we users are getting information from another site.
Also, the fact that alternate sites have popped up is because of a dis-service from this site. XDA used to be a one stop shop for all versions of solutions and ROMS. Now i look here and see so little for the CMDA (USA Verizon) that i have to wonder what happened. this never used to happen. Were developers like DroidTheory insulted? Is there a benefit to choosing another site? I for one love both sites. But i'm sick of the animosity.

really? one guy posts a link to a very nice file and in the very next thread is a response that says he hopes the poster had permission to post the file here.
That's just not what i used to see here. oh well, it is what it is. It's the new rules, and perhaps I'm just a nostalgic person.
Well in the same reference, since i'm not comfortable with the rules, i'll just mention that i noticed on that same site that the KANG version of ICS 4.03 was just posted.
Downloading it now.
I try to go to every site and sign up for them all. Some things u can find on one site that u can't on another or may be better explained on one site then the other but if its a problem posting something on this site that's not already up here then I may abandoned this site. I guess I kinda abandoned it anyways do to the lack of cdma (USA Verizon) Roms and support. I have even discovered new sites that I didn't know of by people posting stuff from other sites but that don't mean I will never come back to check things out. Hell i was even told that a dev was gonna post his work on another site but keep coming back to here first to check for updates. In the famous words "can't we all just get along."

Ok, I am all in favor of sharing. But rules are rules.
Not all developers think alike, and not all of them like their work being shared without their explicit permissions. Besides, there is no real actual development by just sharing. So THREAD MOVED.
Either way, you do have to respect
Mandatory Thread Title Requirements For Development Section
THREAD CLOSED until the OP gets explicit permission from the original author to share his work here at XDA. When you get that, and the Dev is willing to share and support his work here, I will gladly reopen the thread.
Please understand that sharing what is not yours, is not fair for the original developer, that is why the rule exists, not for any other reason, as I said, I am in favor of sharing, but we do have to respect original developers wishes.
Hello Xda,
I'm a new owner of a european XT910.
Former owner of a Nexus S.
What's with these Motorolas ? Everything seems very confusing...
1.Locked bootloader...
2.Specific fastboot needed to flash specific roms ?
3.What about recovery mode ? Backup's not working, storage mounting not working..
I will soon post a screenshot of my system's info.
I really think there should be a FAQ thread discussing all matters from CDMA-GSM differences, to different fastboots the phones are shipped with and how to get started on software modification on these babies.
Surely that's a noobie question but if the noobs can't have it, then the world can't have it.
Millions are in the forum but few are willing to get further in developing.
Lets help someone (like me) who wants to understand the pyramid of modding and developing on this phone e.g.
Hi new guy. It's very simple. All of the information can be found on the forums, as well as using google. If you can't be bothered to do a simple search, or read through stuff, then don't root your phone.

And besides, noobs can have the phone. Just don't root your phone, and come crying in the forums when something goes wrong, cause you don't bother reading up beforehand.

Sounds like it would have made more sense to get answers to those questions prior to your purchase.
Great phone, locked down.
Welcome to the forums!
As i already stated, the droid razr is a great phone but is locked down with motos iron fist.
I purchased at launch in canada and was happy... was happy. Untill i started to see the news of the locked bootloader and other issues. Ive been a fan of moto phones since my first v3x and was pleasntly surprised to see an update to the line.
Like was said earlier, its been 6 months since launch and you probably should have done the research, but not everyone has the insight to do deep research about their next phone beyond the physical specs.
That said, moto has locked this thing down and unless you really need more than root its a whole different horse to ride when compared to others like htc, lg and samsung.
Moto basically marketed this thing as a business phone for the fashion crowd. And it is. A slim and fast, solidly built android powered guchi handbag. Not much more.
This is a disappointment. And one we are going to have to live with or find a device that's more friendly to the feint of heart.

Now that I disagree with. A locked bootloader is undesirable, admittedly, but there's still tons of things you can do with the Razr. Custom ROMs? Check. Custom governor? Check. Custom I/O scheduler? Check. Overclock/underclock/undervolt? Check. I have all the above on my Razr. (Except for the governor, doesn't seem to work on Gummy)
Don't get me wrong. I wish Moto would unlock our bootloaders as well, but ultimately, what we are suffering from is a lack of developers. Kholk, kejar, J.Y.Daddy are doing their best, but how many things can they push out? Especially since the Razr isn't their dedicated phone.
The Razr is a good phone, don't let one single locked bootloader ruin the whole package. Although honestly, given the chance to change phones, I would (who wouldn't want the HTC One X?). But really, there are tons of things you can do with your phone as it is.
Most people here misunderstood me.
Asking nooby questions does not make one a noob.
I've been a computer programmer for years and I would like to contribute in the RAZR development, though I do not know how to start cause I was only mid-to-advanced user of mobile phones.
All I needed is someone to show me the way on this motorola. I'm not trying to make myself tiring to you though most people here should learn to show some respect and not snub people who ask.
As for "Searching" the forums, since the RAZR development is going slow, forum threads are also cruising at a low speed. So do not blame me for asking something that is not very clear to most "common" RAZR users and owners.
Friendly as hell.

Spectral thanks for joining this conversation. I've done a lot of research and already know that custom roms, governors and over/underclocking is possible.
Though it seems that device software differs from one phone to the other and I can't make up the differences. Maybe someone should start a thread regarding different Fastboots and to which devices they are installed to for example.
hi OP,
have u seen the Development forum? not the General forum.
there are tons of info to answer ur questions (sorry im not as capable) there. so u dont even need to search. just see the titles.
good luck.
Okay so I have a minor issue so to speak. I had a sidekick 4g and the thing drove me crazy with the freezing and rebooting so I called tmobile and replaced it a gazillion times until they gave me a different device. The new device I am getting in the mail is the LG Mytouch Q.
I don't much like the UI, but the processor is better than that of the sidekick and well it has a couple of features the sidekick lacked (like an LED flash I mean FFS samsung...sigh). Anyway, I figured that since it is easily rooted that there would at least be one or two roms for it. Well, to my surprise...There isn't even a specific forum.
So I have a very humble request (well a couple of them):
1) Please give the Mytouch q a forum. Maybe even bundle the LG Mytouch and the Q into one forum, I don't care, just give us users of this phone our own cave to plot in.
2) Port CM9 (or even stable CM7) over to the Mytouch Q. I know the LG Mytouch already has CM and the internals are basically the same. Really, the phones are basically twins.
3) A little bit of dev support? I know this phone is not the Galaxy S3, I doubt it can even be mentioned in the same sentence, but seeing that I am stuck with this for a while I would really like some support for it. Even if you don't have the phone I'm sure you have a younger sibling, a child, your mom, or even a grandma you could borrow the phone from just to build and test the rom. PLEASE. I managed to get out of the torture that was the sidekick, just help me to enjoy this phone for a while.
It's not a totally bad phone, it's going to get an update to ICS soon, and come on give a little charity for this phone!!
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE.
Thanks!
