Been about 8 months since anyone has created a topic on this according to the similar threads feed. Any stable ROMs for the RAZR yet? I use my phone for work and made the mistake of rooting the other day, now I have major battery loss with screen heat issues. I'm just running the stock ROM rooted with the bloatware removed. Since I use this for work, I need 100% functionality with no loss of anything. I appreciate any help regarding this, or pointing me in the direction of a stable ROM. Thank you!
I think there is about one of these a week actually, but I too use my phone for work and needed absolutely stable. Try eclipse or simplex, they are stock based very stable and smooth, with great battery.
I was running simplex, but got an itch to try the new full throttle and its super nice so far, I think I have an addiction to flashing.

1st of all there are a few roms but we need more info. u have an xt912(us) or an xt910(rest of the world) and if an xt910 of what region (eu, asia, latam)?
2nd "now I have major battery loss with screen heat issues" that 99% caused by an app not by rooting. rooting does not cause such things its just like enabling ur admin rights on a windows account, well sort of

I have the x912. The screen/heat happens when I'm running the browser for 5 minutes. How do I install safestrap? I'm really new to the ROM stuff, so I may need simple directions, but looks like I need safestrap for Eclipse. hahah!

So I downloaded the apk file for safestrap. Do I just save it to my sd card, then run it through Astro file manager to install it? Sorry if this is a simple question, the link didn't give instructions on how to install the apk.

Is anyone else having any problems with this app? If i change my battery icon, all my contacts are erased (this happened twice). Also, the sysctl tweaks are not holding. i kinda don't want to change anything else with this app. who knows what else it will erase on my phone. I have email jrummy but no response.....
What ROM?

sorry i should've stated....
stock rom...2.3.4
You should be able to change all values. Everyone here uses rom toolbox and it works fine. It is fully supported for the x2. You are the only person with this problem.

I would stay away from them until you see some official statement from jrummy saying we have full support. Unless you like to practice sbf'ing tho

Not accurate. ROM manager is what you stay away from. ROM toolbox works great! Most all of it works except the cpu settings. OP - If you're running stock, do u even have the init.d hack installed in order for some of the values to stick?
Edit: I just changed my battery icon earlier and had no issues w/ losing contacts. I've flashed boot anis just fine, changed the font, no themes available yet but i think that well require you running liberty ROM, i believe.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Ya I've heard the rom manager doesn't work for us but see all kinds of people using rom toolbox. Does anyone know which options in there I should stay away from. I wonder if liberty has anything to do with you not loosing your contacts for battery icon change. I changed mine twice and it did it both times.

Viskey, it could be b/c you're running stock. For sysctl values to stick you will need to flash navens init.d hack or flash a ROM w/ init.d preinstalled. My experience w/ Toolbox is if it's not supported or needs a dependency then it tells you. At that pt, proceed w/ caution.

same happened with me!! all my contacts are erased i got x10 with GB 2.3.3
i have notified the dev. doesn't sound like it is getting fixed.
One more time. You cannot use Rom toolbox on a stock rom, unless you're rooted. If you're not rooted, it causes the contacts to be erased, and wallpaper will be reset, but that happends anyway. Also rom toolbox is for liberty Rom or any custom rom only.

I am rooted but thanks. And you can use rom toolbox with the stock rom but a lot of dev include it in their custom rom's because of the functionality it adds. No need to get hasty...

Overview:
This is basically a ROM I made when I was bored.
It is based off of Pepperm1nt's [ROM][GB 2.3.4]GingerBread Phone 7 v0.4
I replaced some of the apps with MIUI apps such as
MIUI launcher
MIUI Music
MIUI Browser
I am not sure this ROM will work or flash so flash at your own risk
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone. Use at your own discretion
How to install
Must be on 2.3.4 NOT 2.3.5
Install bootstrap
Reboot into bootstrap recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash this ROM

This should work almost flawless. I've played with all three apps he added on Molten and they worked well. Should not be an issue. Just wondering but did you ask Pepperm1nt if it was ok to use his rom? No big deal if you did Something to play with, thanks.

This is only GBphone rom + the MIUI launcher look alike and locker + other look alikes.
Sounds a little weird. No pics of screenshots or even tested? Based off someone elses rom without even asking first. Althoug he did give proper credit and did not try to act like it was his own. I appreciate all development for this phone but have to admit this is a first for me to see The OP even states not sure if this will work lol. Does not give you that warm fuzzy feeling and anxious to flash something new.

I dont mind doing a sbf. Did plenty when I was getting to eclipse 2.02 when I had root keeper on my phone I do not mean to bash anyone it is just weird the OP says he is not sure if it will work. Also the title I thought was a little misleading thought this was a MIUI rom.
Seems odd to complain about someone cooking up a new option for a phone with so little support. Regardless of the nature of that option, or what you experienced on another phones dev thread.
Thanks Jay, though I wont be using your work its nice to see people working with the x2. And incorporating miui apps / miui lookalike apps is a neat idea for miui fans who can't flash it due to a pesky locked bootloader.
And, I know none of you fine folks intended to come off as ungrateful or complainy (its my word don't steal it ). Its easy for things to be misinterpreted, between thinking about what you want to post, posting, and someone else reading your post with none of the vocal expression you had in mind.

FIXING OP
Can you make a version that don't requires Safestrap??
If it can work without Safestrap, it also can work as 2nd-System in BootMenu.
I will try this tonight but i need help. I have become fairly familiar with the RAZR. I came from an inc which i loved. The only sd i have is from the inc and its only 2gigs. Question is when making a backup can i save it to the internal sd card? Or will i lose it when wiping data and then formatting the system?

Thanks for the ROM so very much. Is it for GSM or CDMA. (I assume the latter)

I don't think you will be able to install Safestrap 2.0 on Gingerbread, you need to install ICS leak first

Go to ics leak 79 and start from there.
R3Ds Themes
Battery and 1% charge hack
After spending more than 12 hours I managed to install ICS leak 6.14.79 and than followed the steps precisely got R3DS Rom into my phone and was very happy at first but as soon I installed and set GO Launcher EX act by default instead of HomeScreen and shut my phone down waited for 30 seconds and then turn the phone back on I was unable to statr phone sucessfuly, just was getting icomplete lock screnn and toching buttons did nothing. So i ended up using DroidRazrUtility 1.7 to get Gingerbread back on and then installed ICS 6.16,211 in recovery modr from external SD card. So now to my question: Is anyway possible to have battery you have in post #2 (battery #2 is my favorite) plus 1% charge into system I already have without installing separate app from the Market since it can't replace system icon but adds own one?
Thanks
Oleg
After I am on ics leak 79 and rooted with safestrap 2.0 I can just flash this and reboot?

Batt Mod on Stock Rom?
Can you just flash the battery mod to stock .211?
I don't believe so, as I'm fairly certain it needs to be deodexed to work, which stock would not be. I could be throwing around false information, though.
I have a noob question of my own; is it possible to flash this from the OTA ICS update or must it be done from the leaked updates?

I've been on this ROM for a couple of days now and have had no issues. I love the accurate battery mod and the power toggles on the notification pull down. I haven't noticed any degradation in battery, but don't have enough time on it yet to make an objective assessment. So far, I totally recommend it!

Have you tried Rom toolbox? There's an option for that a believe. Just make sure that you back up, because we know what happens when we tweak and want to update.
After searching for rom toolbox, I found this. Apparently rom toolbox deletes files without the owners permission and reboots your phone. Here is the developers admission.
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=438&t=355721&start=15
Granted, it is an anti piracy measure, but I'd stay away from rom toolbox as this developer should not have root access to your phone.

Yeah, a smart guy that is well known in the root community shouldn't have root access to your phone because he doesn't want his apps pirated. Yes, ROM Toolbox did user delete files to stop piracy , because he didn't want his and other apps pirated, seems sensible to me. yet, he took this feature away because of Market restrictions.
You would think in such a pro developer crowd such as Android you'd have a little bit higher of an opinion of a popular developer trying to reduce how much his app is pirated.
Anyway OP, there is not any 1% mod for stock .211 yet, but Eclipse for ICS, Liquid Smooth 1.5, Black Widow for ICS all have the 1% mod. Find the allHere.
There's a deodexer .zip file and 1% battery mod floating around that worked on the first ICS leak (which seems forever ago). I just OTA'ed to 211 and I'm finding a good bit of differences so those zips probably wouldn't work or would cause ill effects. I'm going to see if I can find the guy who created those zips and shoot him a PM.
Even Apple products have 1% battery indicators. I think it should be a stock option in Android. It drives me crazy trying to guess how much battery I have by a bar.

Hi , this is my first article and I hope its a good start for me as an Android Enthusiast :laugh: :laugh: . In this post, I am trying to help those user who don't need bloatwares from Sprint or USC etc and want to stick with their stock roms or not interested in such stuffs. I own a Photon 4G Sprint Version that I imported from US and using in India. While doing experiments on that phone I did made him die but with due help from XDA members like Lokifish, mof9336, Acvice, and peetr_, I got my MoPho back. Thanks once again.
So I would request the users thinking of upgrading stock to Custom... think
1. Do you really need that.. ?
2. If yes and then unwanted softwares are the reason. That you dont want to see.
3. or The phone performance is bad or some hardware are not functioning properly {then do try Upgrading with ROMS either official or Unofficial}:cyclops:
Yes Iknow, upgrading to custom rom is good, but it generally comes with warning like Do On your own risk,, If bricked we are not responsible like wranings. But generally these things happens rarely to those who dont follow the steps properly {of course including me }. So to keep your phone as it was and use without any issues,i would recommend you to Root your phone and remove all unwanted softwares.
So lets begin the chapter.
1. The first and Foremost thing is to root your phone. As per my experience if you are on 2.5.4_13 Sprint {locked} .. photon torpedo rooting works perfectly using terminal emulator. You can find tons of tutorials on Photon Torpedo
2. From the Playstore download and install XDA Assistant. Its a all in one utility for rooted phone.
But Still I warn, Uninstallation too has side effects. So if you un-installed any required component... be careful.
----------------------------------- If (this_post==helpful){ thanks++ ;} printf{"You feedback is welcome!!! Come AGain"}----------------------------
Please give more details about which applications are safe to remove
