Suggest a Rom I can install on Mom's Razr Droid. - Motorola Droid RAZR

Ok guys, I personally have a S3 and love it, got a custom ICS rom on it (cleanrom 2.1). And my mom just got a Razr Droid, Im thinking about putting a new rom on it, something stable yet not a clusterfck /easy to learn for her. Tweaks with battery life in mind, performance, and full functional (like picture text working etc) Any suggestions? I would also want to put google now on there etc. I guess I have some reading up to do on this forum.

Eclipse ICS. I recommend this to everyone If you're not familiar, it's completely AOSP with a blacked-out look. Really nice. All features working. Also includes improved battery (in my experience), notification drawer toggles, etc, with some small tweaks here and there. Fairly minimal and easy to use.

Thanks, i just installed eclipse 1.3 (his newest one, he hasnt posted it here yet), than google now, Up and running smoothly. Now I had installed safestrap, can i disable that boot up option?

There's an Eclipse ICS 1.3? Could I trouble you for the link? I'm only on 1.2; I looked but could not find a newer version, so that'd be much appreciated l As for Google Now, glad to hear you got that working! I forgot to mention it earlier, but some have reported battery drain from it, so look out for that...
And I don't believe you can change the boot up screen, unfortunately :/ But I personally never found it to be much trouble. Just make sure your Mom knows not to hit the menu key and launch recovery xD
EDIT: Never mind, I found the Eclipse update! ...I was excited enough to get out of bed at 3:30 and turn my laptop on
EDIT #2: Annnd then I realize that I am running a GSM device and therefore need to GSM patch it Which I unfortunately don't think is possible on the latest version *sigh* Ah well, back to bed...

Thanks for that, that's good to hear. I wasn't sure it would work, as the patch was labelled Eclipse ICS 1.2 in the thread. Do I have to re patch this then or could I flash this ROM right over the old version (doubt it... Just wondering)?

[Q] Whats the best ROM for X2?

I am curious as to what is the best ROM for X2? Eclipse, molten...or any others? Why do you think it is the best?
Well it all depends on what you are looking for. I personally think that Eclipse is the best, solely because Nitro is always working on it. It is fast, and smooth. Liberty is also nice, I just don't care for the design factors of it. MIUI is well designed, but if you'd go for that I would wait for the newest release to come to x2, because it is pretty slick looking. I haven't a clue about Molten, but there are like no screenshots of it, so if you want to try it, please post a thread of them lol.
I'd personally say try Eclipse to see how you like it, but if you'd like to try more always keep nandroid backups so you can have a selection of ROMs readily available.

I have tried Eclipse 1.0 and 1.2, and I am updating to 1.3 at the moment, and was curious if there was anything better. Thank you for your reply, I think I will stick with Eclipse for now, I love the look.
They are all pretty fantastic! I say start with one, test it out, make a nandroid if you like it, then flash a new one and test it out, and go until you find one you like the best. If you get flash happy, make nandroids of a couple. I have a nandroid for liberty eclipse and gp7. I'm running molten 2.2. Its fun going back and forth between them. Haha

I agree IDMA they are all good and have different feels. I would just try all of them from eclipse to gingerphone7 and gingerfunk too. It doesn't take that long to test drive them and het the jest of what each has to offer. There is only 5 current custom roms to choose from so see which one works best for you

No they don't. Seriously I don't get your issue. Eclipse has been far better and more reliable than both stock 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. I would experience several force closes of factory loaded software every day. That isn't the case with Eclipse or Liberty.
Im all for freedom speech and opinions and what not but you just seem intent on being a Debby downer in every post you make.

I dont want to argue with anyone but I ran into more issues with stock blur(puke) then any custom rom on here.
The camcorder thing might be because of the bionic camera being in eclipse and not the stock blur camera.. I don't know but I have used the camcorder a lot and never had a force close until i purposely hit the screen after pressing record. I guess when its recording I dont press the screen....

Okay, I did what you said in Liberty3 and it worked just fine. No FCs, nothing. Worked like a charm.
He was complaining about the Razr camera port in Eclipse v1.3 I think atleast. Haha
Eclipse works great for me. I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
Yep ill second the eclipse 1.3 I've followed eclipse since the early days. Currently I'm using the 2.3.5 OTA and have been slowly freezing bloat and have applied supercharger v.7 so far its nice not as much free ram not as snappy and not as much battery as say eclipse on 2.3.4 but better that but stock 2.3.4 or 2.3.3.

It's been over a month since I flashed my X2 to Liberty and I got bored. Then, I saw Nitro/Scott tweet that Eclipse v2.0 for the X2 was coming and as of last night, was 90% complete, so I decided to flash back to Eclipse.
Lo-and-behold, I experienced the FC with the camcorder. So, I just pulled the BlurCamera.apk from Liberty3 for X2 and all the FC's are gone!
All I did was delete the Camera.apk from /system/app, copied the BlurCamera.apk back to /system/app, set the permissions to 0644 and then rebooted. FCs gone!
Can't wait for Eclipse 2.0.

UGH, anyone else having a flash withdrawal?

I definitely need something to flash before I go crazy!
NOTE: this isn't a "what should I flash onto my phone now" type board, this is just a "I'm bored and realized I'm going crazy cause I don't have anything to flash."
by the way, I'm definitely not asking for any ETA's for any new roms.
Lol I know the feeling. My wife has a bionic and she finally let me root it and debloat it. But she will not let me put a custom rom on it. I so want to flash dhacker ICS on it I would put eclipse on it also but she is on. 902 and nitro is still working on the new version.

I am a courious person not sure why I know 2.3.5 & 2.3.6 files won't work. I actually want to poke around with the Atrix Port files to see if I can figure out what it will take to port it. I'm pretty good looking for different things that link a common denominator. Whether or not I can do it is a whole different story. I have never developed. But I have played around with the xml files with and without Hickups.
Smali and Java I have not tried yet I would like to try out of boredom. It would be cool to drop down toggles built in for an app that can be changed out for another. Like I said Just Bored thats all. Probably long run I will defiantly crash and brick.

I was running CM7 and installed miui on top. Didn't really like miui but restoring CM7 backup seemed like cheating. So I installed CM7 on top of miui. CM7 on top of miui on top of CM7. Interesting.

Best & Most Stable ROM?

Like the title says...
What is the most stable & lag free ROM out there for X2? I'm on Eclipse 2.1 & this wifi problem is killing me softly. I was on CM7 but I kept getting problems with it.
If you have a ROM w/ a certain version of it that you'll suggest, I'm all ears.
In what problem did u have with cm7? If ur willing to go back I'm sure we can help solve them, unless u mean HDMI.
Sent from my MB870 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
im looking into romming too and was wondering the same thing. I want a rom that is glitch free.
I don't really have any problems with CM7 other than wifi can take a while to connect...you may have to toggle it off and back on to get it to connect. I have not recently had any issues with it staying connected. I can't think of any other issues I've had. My wife has a DX2 stock and I used it for about 5 minutes today....that's enough to drive me crazy
Quick Note....Search bar. This topic has been raised twice in the past month.
But while I'm here I might as well put into it... I've been on CM7, MIUI, Molten and Eclipse and Eclipse is hands down the best. I don't know that bugs actually exist on this rom. Miui has seriously video issues, Molten isn't up to snuff over all, Cm7 is solid but the wifi connection is what turned me away, it is annoying as he'll even with the wifi fix scripts. Eclipse doesn't have a single on of these problems. Not one.

When I was on CM7, when I reboot it gets stuck at the boot screen at times. Followed all directions to the letter & i had a wifi problem also like some ppl had. that's what drove me away
Are you sure you are on the correct android build? Cm7 is fairly stable but it foes have its share of issues, none major by any means though. I would say eclipse is the most stable for the x2, and that's comming from a guy who runs cm7. Double check that you are on 2.3.5 for eclipse and not 2.3.4.

I finally dumped cm7 after three months of the wifi disconnects. Aside from that it's my favorite. I'm running eclipse 2.1 and it is solid, zero wifi problems sooooo happy about that. I do miss some of the cm7 features (long press pull down widget, swipe away notifies, lock screen options, overall customization). So far I'm sticking with eclipse 2.1.

Kinda makes you wonder why the /418 ud has the same kernel as /413 & not the popular /412?
Also my Mx2 port won't work w/o /413.
edit This may have come about cuz the /412 has kernel 00007 & /413 has 00008.
Eclipse 1.3 was very stable in every way. Does not have all the goodies in 2.1 but is very stable. Cm7 is good also with a little massaging lol

Yes, I've checked my version it says 2.3.7
CadenH is referring to your kernel. It is from a particular blur rom & unalterable.
So for example if the rom wants you on 234 leak . Your kernel will be ...00005... & the rom replaces all but that & other locked partitions.
Has anyone heard/know of a fix for the LP icon changing in the MIUI ROM, I would say by far that the MIUI ROM has the most features and by far is the sexiest and one of the better ROM's out there. I am brand new to Android and have been in the iPhone Modding world for too long.
Once I get these files systems figured out and learn a little bit more, Ill be building and tweaking ROMs for the DX2

Best rom so far?

Well, I know everybody has a different opinion about "best". But my DX2 is getting slower everyday. It is running the stock 2.3.4 rom currently. I have had to pull the battery out multiple times in the past month just to get out of the frozen mode. That's no fun!
So, here I am looking for a new rom, wifi is vital to me since I use it all the time, well, pageplus does not give much choice. Camera/camcorder are also extremely important (so miui is out?). Other than that, the rom should be as stable as possible, as snappy as possible. With the stock rom, open each app is a painful waiting of 2-3 seconds.
Alright, folks, please recommend! TIA
Upgrade to 2.3.5
Flash Eclipse
Enjoy.

Liberty was my first rom and it was smooth and stable, but really plain. Now I use CM7 and love it. Smooth, stable, and looks nice! I just installed the Ice Cream Sandwich theme and I don't see myself changing anything for a while!
I'm gonna say a tie between eclipse and cm7. I switch between the two often and they are both great and about equal in performance.

Does CM7 still have the wifi issue? On the cm7 rom page, they said there may still be wifi sleep issue.

It did not work for me.
I like my Mx2 port & I am finally getting it debloated.

I just looked that one up and I must agree it is a good looking theme! When I get bored with ICS (which may take a bit, here are a few screenshots) I will give cyanbread a go.

What are you running? Are you running MX2? Themed? CM7?

im running 'old school' eclipse 1.3 (2.3.4) because i dont want to upgrade to 2.3.5, i honestly like it, plus i had a lot of problems with cm7 RC1 and i knew eclipse was awesome and pretty done. yes it has blur but its worth it to have a stable ROM

i've seen a few people say this. it must be an app issue. i only got the DX2 a few weeks ago, used stock for less than 35 minutes, then i flashed RC0 and RC1 CM7. I've had 1 FC related to Google Play Music, but other than that it has been smooth and fast. The lag when I sbf'd was pronounced, but i've had zero issues with CM7. are people restoring app data through TB or something? it just doesn't make sense that people could install the same rom the same way, then some say "fast; awesome" and others say "unstable; buggy."

I'm running...
CM7 7.2 RC1 (daytona)
ICS 1.7 theme (decompiled to add transparent dialer and battery % mod)
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper
I'm more than happy with this setup. It's going to be on my phone for a while.
Cm7 rc1 problems, me too.
Ti-bu has caused me problems also.
I have come to use this way to restore data:
method 1 works best:

Weird how some people have problems with CM7 and some have none. I've been running it over 4 weeks with zero issues. No FCs or anything. I used Pete's method of rooting and of course you have to load a special modified CM7 X2 Bootstrap after installing CM7. I'm just curious as to what could be the cause of some people having issues.
Turn camcorder on, then turn flash on. Record, then turn of the cam. Fced twice forth me

Suggest a ROM

Howdy. I'm looking to replace stock Jelly Bean on my rooted RAZR xt912 with a custom ROM that works.
Issues I'm looking to fix with this move:
Ability to run pdanet so I can wifi tether without eating up my limited data plan.
Ear speaker stops working after some time; I have to use a headset or speakerphone to hear the caller.
Battery life is abysmal.
System runs slow, even after recent factory reset.
I need a ROM that's stable and has everything working (camera Bluetooth, wifi, calling, google services, etc...) Because this is my only phone right now and I'm on the road away from home.
Any suggestions, ideas, or pointers would be great!

Your best bet would be stick based custom ROMs. U can try Rage ROM, dwiz1.0 , jelly wiz or any other stock based ROM that works with your kernel

Alright, I may do that. I've been digging around here looking for a section or area where ROM's are posted, but I don't seem to be finding it.
Is there a section or area set aside for ROM's, perhaps sorted by device?

Here are the roms for Droid RAZR here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1363 There are also some on droid-hive: http://droid-hive.com/index.php?/forum/455-roms/ and droidrzr: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-droid-razr-roms/ If you're looking for customization and features, go for an AOSP-based rom like cyanogenmod or aokp. If you don't care so much about features but want more stability, go for a stock/moto-based ROM.
I'm using LiquidSmooth. It's Android 4.2.2 and I use it as my daily driver. Only problems I have are random freezes and reboots, but the benefits if this ROM way outweigh that problem.
Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx using XDA Premium
Liquidsmooth and carbon rom are very good roms my recommendation is liquidsmooth cuz its stable and abt random freezes u have to disable lockscreen by setting it to none....
I have been a cyanogenmod fan since my old Droid X. When I went with my Razr MAXX I was disappointed that it wasn't available, so I settled with Arctic for a good long while. I really liked the ROM, however as soon as Cyanogenmod was available I jumped on board ASAP. The only thing they don't have working is the HDMI output, but I don't use that feature anyways, so who cares.
Anyhow,,,,,,,,,,,, the instructions are VERY easy to follow and I have very little trouble with it. It's not what they call a stable release, but then in my opinion it's still way more stable than many others I've tried!

guys, the man said that he needs EVERYTHING to work!
do not mislead him with kexec who still has issues!!!
see this:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-droid-razr-roms/
I recommend BW v2, aviator with stock kernel and Eclipse
the last one is the best from my point of view, only think is it needs verizon christmas leak kernel
if you can flash this kernel, try eclipse
PACman is pretty good.

Completely agree with you there, Eclipse is probably my favorite Razr Jellybean rom! Great performance, great battery life and just the right amount of visual adjustments!
