hi
i have the razr maxx gsm international version and i wonder if i can use the razr roms with the maxx?
what is the best rom to use if i can use the same rom?
I guess you can use any gsm rom or any cdma rom with the gsm hack. I think the only difference is just physical battery and chasis.
I am using the gsm t-mobile leaked ics rom. I deactivated the bloatware and changed the boot screen to std moto. You can use this too with cwm.

This runs as well as any ics rom i have tried on any phone. Everything works with good battery.

Does anybody know if the install goes correctly, sorry if it's already been asked. I just don't want to brick my phone.

I didn't want to bump this thread, but I really want an answer. Sooo, anybody know?
For me on the .173 software it failed but did not brick my phone. But until the bootloader is unlocked/bypassed the razr can not run an aosp rom. + juice defender ultimate ran horribly for me, ive used it on many other phones that it worked wonderful, the razr it did not.

So that means that since my Razr isn't running an AOSP based ROM that it's highly unlikely that even on .181 it will be able to run, unlikely but not impossible?
Never mind, I put on my big boy pants and checked it for myself. It worked fine. And I love the new battery saving features.

Black Widow is a AOSP Rom, isn't it? And juicedefender runs very well on my razr for three months now.

A fully aosp rom includes the kernel, and since we cant boot custom kernels no rom for our phone can be built solely from the android open source project. I might have to give jd another try, do you guys still get the lag when it initiates 4g?

AOSP works for 65.1.40 2.3.6 asia stock rom.

What do you mean lag? I haven't botched anything service damaging like that. But I just set up jd and leave it.

But now we can boot custom kernels using kexec, right? Ok, second core doesn't work but a good ICS custom ROM with a good kernel running on single core beats a stock ROM which is running on dual core. So I think it would be nice if a custom kernel could be built.

It's been a while since I've tried jd, the last time I did I had horrible lag when I turned on the screen to data connectivity initiating. The dev might have updated since then.

Kexec is close, I can't use it on my DROID RAZR yet, but very promising. I'd guess most devs will wait for the official update to ics's source drop by moto, giving how hard it is to find/build drivers for the h/w.

Hi, I am using Photon for my GSM. I have unlocked my phone and right now using MIUI ROM.
Can anyone suggest me which is the best available stable ROM for my photon with very less issues. Please help.
peetr's 2.3.5 Hybrid. It offer's the most in advantages vs stability. The current version has very few bugs and is extremely stable. It may not be "cool" but then again neither was Imperium.
1. Can we ange the status bar to be like MIUI ?
2. Do the softkey light works fine ?
3. Can i able con to sync facebook contacts and displays their photos and details in contacts with native apps without using Hexsync or something ?
Please give a reply .
ic4 roms not stable as u think
i tried 3 diffrent rom parinoid aokp and cm9 none were stable my phone wold randomly reboot when not being used , net flix dosent work issues with the kick stand mode i thought they all lacked the attension to detail since motorola makes things a lil harder soposidly
I second the choice of peetr's 2.3.5 rom. It works great and has been virtually bug free. I've tried stock, Imperium, paranoid, cm9, and cm7 also and the only one I can get data on aside from peetr's is cm7. I'm trying out simplemobile on my photon to see how t-mobiles network is.
Back to Stock
I unlocked my Photon to work with the AT&T and then decided to try some different roms. I think I want to go back to stock rom but keep unlock, how can I do that?

just nandroid restore your stock ROM. given you backed that up like you should have.
or do you possibly mean restore your radio to go back to the stock ROM / CDMA?

How is that rom going so far?
Did you used some fix or something?
peetr_'s 2.3.5 Hybrid is the best.
but for the adventurous people; cm10 alpha is getting along well with gsm network. better than cm9 alpha.
all CM9 have bugs
as i tried different CM9 ROM, all of them had major bugs, unless if you are considering camcorder not major part of the phone, even the alpha CM10 have the same bug and more.
for me i had to wait until an official release from Motorola
I think cm10 beta by jokersax with gapps v3 is better even though in the beta stage smooth and fast with small issues like white screen in camera application(but mind you jelly bean camera takes awesome photos even with the white screen) camcorder issues and themes not able to apply
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
I hope the GSM function will keep working on the new versions of CM10 that are going to come...
Any updates on stable roms? I just unlocked my gsm radio on att orginal2.3.4 looking for somehing good but.dont wanna brick my phone or lose my gsm inlock any ideas;please
Just curious. Has there been anyone whom found a method of returning to the ICS software, after sideloading the JB leak? I wish to return to .211 and use the dual boot method, if at all possible.
Because of the locked bootloader, once you upgrade to the JB kernel, you can't go back to the ICS kernel. I know there is a thread somewhere in here though about dual booting with ICS and JB by using methods to get around the kernel limitation.

I personally do not know this, but many are saying the battery life on JB is not as good...or they are playing around with the phone more on jb lol!

Battery life is just as good on JB. I find signal not quite as good - but really, the experience is much smoother on JB.

No you wouldn't need any patch. You can use all stock based ROMs on GSM network.
Just flash the ROM.
Are you using it on GSM currently.?

Seriously.?? You should avoid advising on things you don't know for certain. It might be misguiding and confusing for others too.

Hi all -
I'm on GSM and I've been trying several ROMs and am dissatisfied so far with stability - it seems it's either an important feature is buggy or I get constant reboots/FC/stalls when I'm using the phone as a daily and when I most need it. Specifically re: features the BT headset audio is semi-important - if the ROM is solid throughout I can disregard this but I would love to have this feature.
Any ROMs anyone can recommend to me? I'm almost ready to chuck things and go back to full stock.
If there isn't a 4.2.x ROM that's stable I'm up for a recommendation of a ROM below 4.2 and is also above stock that is solid and stable (again I'm close here to just chucking it all and going back to stock).
Have you tried carbon? It was very stable back when I used it. Also slimbean is known for being a very fast light rom
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Carbon and Rootbox are the most stable I've tried. Slimbean should be smooth and responsive, but I haven't tried it yet. I am a CDMA user, but they should work on GSM using the GSM patch in the CM10.1 thread.
Note: BT audio and FFC are broken on all aosp ROMs. On some Snapchat and Instagram video playback are broken.

firmware is the drivers for the radios, board and stuff... flashing another device firmware either a. wouldnt work or b. brick the device...
flash one of the aosp/cm roms and then flash the GSM patch and you will be set to use it on GSM carriers
