Hey all,
After attempting to install the gsm ics leak and bricking my phone and having to spend an entire day bringing it back from the dead, I warn you not to go and install that if you have the same phone I do, (but if you do, pm me and I will be glad to help you fix your phone).
Anyways, on to my question: Does anyone know if it is possible to get any functional version of ics onto the xt910 canadian rogers version?
I would settle for CM9 or AOKP because I'm 99% sure there is no way to make the phone work with any leak. Thanks!
Cm9 and akop work on our phones as long as you apply the GSM patch if it isn't already implemented..
its not the smoothest though since you will still be running the original kernel and radio from 2.3.5
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
I'm actually on cm9 and everything is smooth, but I've found that if you touch Bluetooth, you're going to have to factory reset your phone using fastboot. Huge pain in the ass if you ask me. Other than that, everything seems ok. Still works better than Arctic.
have you guys tried the gummy ICS rom? Just picking up my phone this week and trying to figure out whether to stick with stock and wait it out OR flash and have fun...
I haven't tried Gummy (not sure why you would want that over AOKP or CM9, though), but I would say this: if you don't stay stock, you don't have much in the way of options. You can run Arctic pretty smoothly, or you can go for one of the ics roms and stay very far away from bluetooth. If you decide to flash right away, MAKE SURE you back up your stock image because otherwise you'll never get a rogers rom back on your device, since there are no fastboot files for it through the eternity project (which means they basically don't exist).

Gummy is based off the same source as CM9 and AOKP.. with only ROM tweaks, the same bugs apply

I have been using Team Whiskey roms without fail for many months now......I recently noticed the Vibrant 4G / Plus rom that was credited to Eugene and Whiskey.....I disabled Voodoo and flashed this rom on 3 different occasions.....What has happened each time is that it freezes really bad and is very unstable.....My signal keeps going in and out and it took me nearly 30 minutes to be able to get into Clockwork Recovery to flash back to Bionix rom.....It was freezing so bad I couldnt even get into the market......My question is this.....Is there something I missed while flashing this rom....Maybe a different kernel......Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to offer me.....

Sounds like you need to clean out those "Ghosts of Roms Past". When was the last time you odin'd to stock - all the way back to Eugenes Froyo That Won't Brick?
Remember, this rom is still in ALPHA!!!!!! it was made as a proof of concept.
It wont come out of ALPHA until I get my new phone and finish up Bionix Frost. Which is based off the official build for the Vibrant 4G. (Not the leak that we have Alpha based on now)
The build is done, Just need to add in the mods, and finish making the wallpaper.
But wont be able to test it until my phone gets here.
What ^^^^^^^^^ Krylon said. ALPHA might have bugs, as it is still very new and not ripe enough for ingestion.
I flashed with Odin prior to flashing the rom.....First time I forgot to disable Voodoo and bricked my phone so I had to flash with Odin.....Other than that and repartioning through Odin is there anything else I should do besides wait for a more stable version.....?
its alpha but pretty stable i dont have any problems wit it,

IMHO, If you like CleanRom, stay on the one you have now til we get a new ICS leak and see if the kernel issues are fixed or test out the latest CleanRom that allows you to install without updating the firmware on the phone for now.

I highly recommend rezrom 3.3, super fast, stable, and good battery life. Plus bored has a patch you can flash after so you dont have to update to the new firmware.
go with clean rom ICS its got plenty of tweaks and runs fast!
How long does it take to update the firmware? Is there a one click method or something easy like that and do I need to be connected to the internet? I only ask because the only I can connect is through my phone.

CleanRom 4.3 using the old firmware patch. No need to upgrade the firmware right now.
But just be aware, the ICS roms have kernels that really suck the battery down when the screen is on. There's a bug that ramps up the CPU to 100% anytime the screen is on. It might be better to just stick with a GB based ROM for right now.
I tried the cleanrom ics it runs real smooth but reverted to my cleanrom BG.some apps that I like are not compatible with ics yet. My suggestion is to try it, without updating the firmware. Remember to make nandroid backup , but you'll have to run the nandroid helper to revert back to a GB Rom.

No, at this time if you update the firmware you cannot revert back to the prior firmware. That is why the best method maybe for you to try an ICS Rom that has a patch that allows you to use that rom without the firmware upgrade. This way if you want to revert back ti Gingerbread you can.
Before making the jump up to ICS, have a play with Ineffabilis.

The old firmware patch should be in the ROM thread for the ROM you pick. Just check the first post and it should be referenced there.

The CleanROM Kang Tapped version OP states that it uses the leaked firmware. I was curious what I Am Marino meant by applying an old firmware patch that allows him to keep the old firmware. If I'm correct, he can run newer GB ROMs with older firmware, and doesn't have to worry about running older GB ROMs that require older firmware since he still uses older firmware.
I suppose this may be a superceeded by S-Off, but until then if we flash the leaked firmware, there is no way to go back, right?
My goal is to have a reliable, bug-free, firmware/kernel/ROM combo.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any info.
I'm pretty new to this phone if you can't tell.

I've tried most of the rezound roms listed in these forums. I personally like Rezrom and clean romantic, both gb and ics. Currently running cleanrom 4.2 on the new firmware but the latest version doesn't require it (neither does the latest release of Rezrom ics). Both are stable so the big difference is theming. I've noticed that most of the developers are focusing on ics so there haven't been updates to gb roms.
I just went from Cleanrom 1.7 to Nils Business ICS 4.0. Its only been a day since on it but so far I have 52% battery left after 12hrs with moderate use. I have no complaints with this set up and I am updated to the newest RUU leak. Even with the newest RUU I was able to still go back to GB 1.7 and run without issues as well.
If you use market apps for texts like Handcent or anything you will need to do the third party contacts fix so contact pics from facebook or other social networks show up, but if not then no worries.
Running CleanRom 4.3 using the stock kernel, no issues with speed or battery life.
Alright guys, while I patiently await the official ICS upgrade I have decided I wanted to play with some of the roms. I'm a little confused on the whole locked bootloader and stuff that the Razr has. I have the Razr Maxx and wanting to get some pointers on what to do. I want to try MIUI and another ICS build. Should I install Safestrap and then what should I do? I already have it rooted and on .181
Any help I appreciate it, I'm used to installing CWM and going that route but I haven't used a Moto Android in awhile.

I would definitely install safestrap and get some ROMs' and tweaks going.
To install a ROM follow this guide: http://droidrazrroot.com/droid-razr-hacks/how-to-install-rom-on-rooted-droid-razr/
For ROMs' I would recommend Gummy and Eclipse. Eclipse for a more stock Gingerbread experience with better battery life and performance. Gummy for an ICS feel with lots of features.
Having a locked bootloader means that we can't flash custom kernels and radios until a bypass is found or Motorola unlocks them for us.
Hope I helped!

Ya I figured out the kernels and radios from the bootloader but I also wanted to make sure I don't fubar my upgrade path and be able to upgrade on official ICS when it drops. I know to stay away from some of the leaks from reading what people are saying on here and other forums.
Also if I have this safestrapped, flash a rom and then want to go back to stock the way I have it laid out I can just relock or whatever it is in recovery and it will boot into stock instead of the custom rom?

Yes, if you toggle safe system when your in the safe system/system you have the custom ROM installed on all your data from your original ROm will be restored. Ask questions if you're confused, nobody likes a data wiped phone.
Also, I know this is probably a redundant comment, but be SURE to make a nandroid backup of your stock rom, just so in case things go pear-shaped you can always reflash back to before the problem.
Be warned though that many of the ICS builds currently do have some bugs...
Most notable is the lack of hardware acceleration, which means no Flash or embedded videos until the official ICS is released...Not a hugely big deal for me, but some find this crucial.
I have been using J.Y.Daddy's port of CM9 for GSM and I love it. Very good looking rom, excellent features and intuitive organisation. Overall, 10/10. Definately would bang.
But yeah, nandroid backup is key. Just keep it on a USB stick nearby if you have little space on you SD.
Have a ball with custom roms man! It's what makes Android the best OS in my opinion.
Hi,
I got a second hand T-mobile Amaze 4G and since it's second hand, I don't have very accurate info regarding what the previous guy had done with it. I've been reading extensively the forums for past weeks since all this stuff was new to me and I'm better now but still have a few questions though.
What I want to achieve is to have a stable ICS ROM on my phone. If I understood correctly, as of now nightly build of Cyanogenmod and
Info regarding my phone:
A) Carrier is T-mobile.
B) Probably is S-on, I can be wrong.
C) Have no idea about it's SuperCID status.
D) It's recovery was "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7" but I installed 4EXT Recovery Touch V.1.0.0.5 RC7 on it since I read most ROMs require this.
(That's all I can think off from what I read is required to know about one's phone, but if not, ask me and I'll do my best to reply)
My questions:
1- Since my phone's carrier is T-mobile, do I still have to s-off my phone if I want to install ICS on it?
2- If the previous question's answer is positive, do I have to run Juopunutbear under Ubuntu? I read unlimited.io's website and they suggested Ubuntu and removed Windows versions of Juopunutbear due to compatibility (and user trolls) but I see youtube tutorials on to do it under Windows. Is it advised to do it under Ubuntu? It's hard to download 700Mb and also work under Ubuntu for me.
3- Which ROM is better for me? I'm a game developer and just need a stable phone so I can test my game on it. I need SD card access when I mount the phone to my computer so I can easily deploy my games. I do like the stock ICS look of Cyanogenmod but apparently Revolution is more stable, right? I'm open to other alternatives, I just want a stable ROM and hopefully look of stock ICS.
4- I tried installing both of the Cyanogenmod and Revolution but after the installing them and restarting the phone, it gets stuck at htc logo. I've read that this can be due to s-on but I also read that T-mobile phones do not require those steps. So this is my main problem now.
Thank guys so much in advance.
Update
I put the the 4EXT recovery into SmartFlash mode and then flashed the Cyanogenmod again and after the install, it did not stuck at htc logo but when I unlock the phone, it freezes after 1-2 seconds and the auto restarts! :'(
This is a good thread to read through before you start flashing ROMs, since your phone is S-ON.
Make sure you enable smartflash in 4EXT

Thanks for the reply. What's I believe is missing from that topic is that you need to upgrade the firmware. I think that's why my phone gets frozen after 1-2 seconds, amsearching for the firmware I have to upgrade.
Another question to my initial ones:
5- If I upgrade my firmware, will I be able to install GB ROMs again on it? Or do I have to downgrade my firmware in order to do so?
did you wipe completely before flashing the ROM? Wipe cache, dalvik cache and wipe data?

Yes, I run the Super Wipe script, "Super_Wipe_Amaze_4G.zip", so it does all that. I strongly believe my problem is that I didn't install the stock ICS ROM before installing Cyanogenmod and am downloading the latest one.
So I have two questions:
1) When I upgrade my firmware to ICS, how am I will be able to install GB ROMs again? Do I have to install older firmwares first?
2) Which ICS ROM has stock lookingness of ICS but with most features and stability?
Thanks.
Cm10 is a jellybean rom and wont work until your phone is already running ics. If youre on gb, install a stock tmobile ics ruu and then flash cm10. For stock look and performance id recommend the energy rom.
Also someone correct me if im wrong but youll have to soff to go back to gb
Success!
Yes the problem WAS that I had to flash stock ICS RUU first then flash any ICS custom ROM over it. I now have a nice CryogenMod 10 on my device. It's not complete but I really love how it looks! Thanks to it's great devs.
It's not that stable and I see
And it lacks SD card drive mount which I used a lot, maybe I try to use AirDroid instead. Have to try it for a few days.

Thanks Hassan, what I meant by stock is not the sense look, I don't like it. What I meant is original ICS look that Nexus 7 has for example. The look that CryogenMod has. What I was asking is that is there any other ROM which looks like CryogenMod but is more stable and has more features?
And is there any comparison chart between current state of ICS ROMs? Which ones are good for daily usage?
And I still have my questions:
1) What should I do if I want to get back to GingerBreak ROMs? Should I have to install/flash GB RUU and then a custom GB ROM over it?
2) My WiFi signal is worse, like half of what is used to be, since I'm sitting next to my router, so do I have to run/flash anything to fix this?
And let me thank EXT4 Recovery's SmartFlash, I didn't need to s-off my device, which is tricky, needs Ubuntu to work fine, etc.

I dont think were allowed to compare roms here. But for the look you like with features, there are several options. One is fourth bar infusion by craigtut. Another is the one im using which is jellybam. A personal favourite rom is the dark glass 0.3 pacman by josegaire. These are tge roms with a nexus look.. the wifi signal must have something to do with the rom. Try a different one and see if it improves.

well it's your choice and for the downgrade part thats the procedure just flash a GB ROM but never seen a post who downgrade their firmware version you can try if you want it wont hurt you..but if you want to go to stock flash the ics ruu it'll do the same thing and the wifi issue i'd say try flashing the [25.MAR.13] T-Mobile OTA 2.14.531.30 [STOCK] and then flash cyanogenMod if the problem still exist ask from the Cyanogen users whether is it a problem with the rom itself

Thanks. I think the only ROMs that have the Nexus look are CM and FourthBar, right? Is FourthBar more stable for daily use than CM10? I love CM but sudden lags and occasional bugs is irritating.
The fourth bar has no issues at all. There used to be an older version of it called fourth bar nexus that was even more stable with better battery life but i think it has been taken down. Fourth bar infusion is a great daily driver though.

Can you compare it to CM10? What are advantages and disadvantages between the two.

I'd suggest s-off then super cid then tmobile ics.. Telus is a Canadian carrier known for being major a##holes..
Running tmobile on my Canadian (wind mobile) amaze required Soff

I don't know what you meant by "stable ICS rom" but the latest ICS that T-mobile released has Sense UI but I want Nexus UI.
Your phone carrier is tmobile.. But.. The phone was not made for tmobile.. It was made for telus..
Telus would luck up a cockroach if they could derive a profit from even 1 customer.
You need super cid.. So you need to Soff first.
Then you can flash anything in the future
I've seen a big difference in problems between those who do Soff and those who don't.. I watch closely since I did my Soff.. It's worth it.

I flashed this "RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L. 17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip" (and then CM10 over it) so I think it's a T-mobile ROM, right?

Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

Sweet. I could give that a try if the Cyanogenmod ROM doesn't work. Is there anything I need to do in preparation, since this is technically a Bell note? Or can I just go ahead and flash the ROM without any changes to the ZIP?

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!

Time for BlackJelly! Downloading now.
I also may need some help getting the SIM to work once this ROM is on. So that way, I can use this stock-rom based OS for actual phone things instead of it just being a tiny tablet! Yay!
Can you point me in the direction of the latest TWRP recovery that I can flash through Odin?

I'm not sure about Odin, but I flashed the latest TWRP to my device using Rashr from Google Play store.

Upgrading my recovery now, yay! I also have the Phase kernel because I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Backup, backup, backup. If TWRP successfully installs then backup. If something goes wrong you can revert everything or just the boot partition. (Kernel)
