OK hi everyone...
Honestly there is just madness going on out there.
Tons of leaks, no official word, modded custom ROMs for only either CDMA or GSM devices...phew...
So my question is simply this I'm on a RAZR AXIOM CMPLX ROM...its stock ICS and its beautiful.. however some things aren't working...not trying to be mean but I have already asked people at DroidHive and I just go ignored for some very strange reason...anyways...
So I wanted to know now where do I currently stand and where can I head...I'm obviously not on any leak...so do I (can i ) go back to GB?? Can I flash any leaked ROM??
I have attached a screen shot for your ref. I would prefer a stock ICS ROM minus MotoBla...but with everything working...
Help?!

I was on that ROM. Yes you can go back to GB and you can pretty much go anywhere from there.

Black widow was nice. That said, it has a few issues like any non-leak ics rom.

Therein lies the potential problem. I believe all the multitasking logic is part of the kernel.
Therefore, until we can replace the kernel (either via an official update from Motorola or an unlocked bootloader), we're stuck with the 2.3.4 kernel, which probably means, no improvement in the multitasking.
What really has be upset now is, Motorola is releasing a new RAZR called the Developer Edition which was the bootloader unlocked.
We didn't want to have to purchase a new frickin' phone! Unlock the bootloaders for the phones we already own, you putzes!

This crap that Motorola is pulling has sealed their fate with me: I will no longer get ANY Motorola devices.
I mean, I have to purchase another phone in order to have it unlocked? And then, it HAS to be the RAZR? No removable battery? No way.
I mean, HOW many versions of the RAZR are they going to release? Ridiculous!

Partly, but Dragonzkiller has gotten ICS (CM9) to boot up on the X2, but it's very pre-alpha. Probably FCs a lot. But, he is working on it. Eventually, we should see CM9 for the X2, but it won't be a full-blown ICS. Until the kernel is unlocked (if that ever happens), we won't be able to replace it with the ICS kernel which will better utilize the two-cores for multitasking.
This thread was not started about the fake but to find out exactly what the kernel has to do with ics. I noticed even dk's has the gb kernel. Was just trying to find out if we were really going to get ics cm9 from dk or just gingerbread with ics on top. Either way i still support dk with his efforts just trying to get educated, i will still use cm9 even if it's not entirely pure.

It's as pure as he can get it. Until we have a way to replace the kernel, we won't be able to get a completely "pure" ICS unless Motorola releases ICS for X2. In that case, we'll have a pure ICS kernel and then all DK has to do is what he did with CM7 - recompile the rest and get it working for CM9. But, I don't know if we'll ever see ICS for the X2. Motorola hasn't said yes or no, but if we do get it, it probably won't be until late this year. If we don't see it by the end of the year, my guess is, we'll never see it.
Motorola has dropped the X2 like a bad habit, which is a shame. Way to screw your customers Moto. That's why I won't be back.
I'm with you on the motorola bootloader deal. This will probably be my last moto phone. until my plan is up I'm stuck with it.

The one thing I like about Motorola phones is the ability to SBF if anything goes wrong. Do other manufacturers offer this kind of feature? If not, that would probably be the thing that keeps me with Motorola. But I agree. I hate that they aren't unlocking the bootloader for us.

You just flash the system partition image and kernel. Which is basically what the sbf does. You still get to keep your recovery too because its in the recovery partition and the system flash doesn't write it.

Yeah it is truly ics. The kernel has nothing to do with ics. A new kernel would make is run smoother and easier. Think of your kernel as you cars motor. The body a rom. Kernel makes the car move. So in essence it might be a different motor but its still that mustang body

IMO, Until we get an official update from verizon or official support from CM9, we will never have the total ICS goodness, but if it looks like ICS and runs like ICS, who will complain? Not I!

Everything about this phone screams a port of the Atrix. This phone just doesn't feel like the successor of the DX, just the mash-up of the failure on ATT and the shell of the DX.

i dont know if im the only one, but seeing what motorola has done to blur from gingerbread to ICS has given me a new perspective with the route they took. beside the bootloader being locked down i have to hand it to them for keeping the ICS look and really toning down on the "skinned" look (im looking at you samsung/htc). i went from the D3 to the D4 then to the razr, and i really have to say their ICS rom makes the phone both enjoyable and asthetic. :good:

Alright guys just bought a white razr today for $150 with box, charger etc and 3 cases including an otterbox!!! looks brand new!! getting ready to root it but what roms do you guys recommend and run? also is overclocking available?
I'm using simplex rom and I really like it. It has some over clocking abilities but since the RAZR bootloader is locked we are limited to complete overcloacking.

Good buy! I will second simplex rom, but another great option is eclipse. I ran that for a while and recently switched to simplex. Both are great. If you dont mind some minor bugs then take a look at full throttle AOKP build. There are a lot of choices and you won't be disappointed!

Hi everyone ,
I'm running ICS on my RAZR Maxx and wanted to consult with all of the knowledgeable people here on xda about whether or not I should flash CM10 Jelly Bean on it or if I should just stick to the stock ICS.
I am running Jelly Bean on my nexus 7 and its so smooth and quick that I really want the same experience on the Razr but I am worried it won't be as smooth if I dont wait for an official update.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you have the CDMA version you can try the full throttle jelly bean ROMs over at droidrzr.com. everyone says how smooth they are.

Well I went ahead and used safestrap which is amazing. Its not like it used to be where I have to wipe the device first but they have different slots allocated to different roms so I can go back to stock if I want easily plus have 3 more roms to choose from
I went with cm10 which is a bit buggy but still works pretty good so now I'm on cm10 jelly bean on razr maxx woooo hoooo

Many flashing directions say to wipe device. Does safe strap leave a clean place to install the ROM without wiping? If I go back to stock, will all my data and apps be intact?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
if u have gsm then stay with stock until cm10 is stable enough for daily usage
The new safestrap allows you to allocate 3 slots to different roms so if you want tp.flash cm10 and 2 other roms you dont have to wipe your device. Its really cool

Yes wipe device after creating and selecting the new ROM slot. You just don't need to wipe when switching between slots 1 and 2 after each one is set up.

I don`t like do wait for operator official ROM so I`m using AOKP ROM. I recommend that.
I didn't wipe the device at all.
You can create the new ROM slot and select it without the need to wipe anything

If you're on GSM, I'd say stick to your Stock Based ROM and work on modifications yourself wih init.d, build.prop, app debloating, etc.
If you're on CDMA, you can try to go with Jelly Bean based ROMs though they're still kinda buggy.
I quit JB ROMs on my GSM due to Mobile Data Problems and System Deep Sleep
Yes, I've studied xda for three weeks on the Droid Razr, and I still don't know how to flash a ROM on this thing. Information is scattered, disorganized, and much of it is old.
Let me tell you, figuring this out is a Holy Terror, unlike my old Nexus One. And as a bonus, almost no one will answer any of your questions!
Good luck man, you'll need it. Most ppl give up.

Well its pretty simple actually once you spend time and do the research
First you download safestrap from here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/downloads/
Then you follow the safestrap installation instructions here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
then you download CM10 Jelly bean here:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/cm10
Get the latest version and save it to your device (Its a zip file)
I just saved it to a dropbox directory and then exported it to the phone but you can do it however you want.
Then you can watch this youtube video:

Im sure there are others but he uses safestrap v3 so its easy.
And voila you have a buggy CM10 but its jelly bean

Awesome. You probably already know but just as a preventive measure, when you do the write up, you should make sure you say to SBF if coming from CM10 or nandroid back to an ICS ROM before flashing. It will save you from a bunch of people saying it doesnt work. Just lookin' out.
