To Root or not To Root? - Motorola Droid RAZR

That is the question... what's the point other than being able to change the rom? And still haven't found one that runs like the original rom... as far as everything working correctly.

It will work fine for a while, but once you root you can run cache mate and keep your phone fresh like the day you got it. A lot of ROMs out there also have extra stuff built in to make your phone run smoother, but it kinda boils down to how much you want to nerd out and customize your phone.

Are you ever going to learn that this isn't the general forum?
Moved to proper forum.
can you sometimes link us to the right ones???
There is a link it's called droid X2 general under motorola droid x2 and its just as easy to click/post as the development forum
At this point ill take any rom thats gingerbread.....
I really like the CyanogenMod. Never tried Liberty though, worth a shot.

At this point i'll take anything debloated and deodexed. Gingerbread is nice too.

Would you care to explain what deodexed means? I've seen term used a few times lately and I have no idea what that means...

Deodex is about removing the odex file that is attached to the OEM files. This allows for modularity regarding themes and roms.

I don't see the harm in learning how to port roms. Having another ROM to try would be awesome and I'm sure the community would appreciate it.

Where's a good place to start? Certain thread?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Start with grabbing a system dump of your device, then replacing system/app folder with the files. Afterwards, edit YOUR framework to match the other one. Afterwards, debug.. is that ROM aosp?

yeah is it AOSP? if not and it has sense, it may be a HUGE pain to port to the dx2. id say start with a motoblur rom from like the atrix and port it, even if you dont want to, its a good, easy way to get your feet wet in the android rom world

Google Now

Check out HTC Sensation theme and app thread. Google now will work on RAZR ics .211. With exception of voice search. But its a start and looks awesome can't wait until its fully functional.

Might be a dumb question since I'm new at this but can just install the apk for google now that was posted on the other thread and install it on my stock razr or do i need to root it first?

You need to be rooted, but Google just releases android 4.1 source, so a Jelly Bean build is in the works I'm sure. I would just be patient, it'll come soon enough

Yeah but we saw how long it took to get ICS ready for the razr. I doubt we get it before Christmas. You think with Google buying Motorola they would be the first to get anything after the nexus line of phones

Bootmenu

Hey so i have looked and looked.use the search feature and used google.. Is there no guide to installing roms on the 2-init using bootmenu? I really want to get back into flashing roms but i do like the stock look and feel.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's hard to find i guess

For second system you need to toggle the second system recovery before you install the Rom.
The Guide to edit the Script for MiUi and CM9 is linked. For CM9 you need an patch, just read the Thread.
If you like Stock, then flash the Epsilon. It's an heavy tuned Stock Rom and it's prepared for second System. So you don't need to edit the Script, just clean your Webtop Partition once and flash.

Hey so another question is that i see all these gsm roms but im in a cdma market and cdma sim card.
Does it make a difference if it is one or the other? Or do both of them work all the same? 4g and everything?

Never mind.. Answered my own question when i installed epsilon.. Gsm only ROM. Can't even turn on cdma

When you're running an CDMA Device, you should use Saftestrap!

Don't forget. BootMenu was made on CDMA device. (It's neither XT912 nor XT910)
The whole point of using bootmenu was that i don't have to disturb my stock ROM and can play with and eventually move to a custom rom when I'm comfy with the functionality

JB Official OTA question

Just curious about whether or not if you took the leak if you'll be able to update to the official release.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Yes if you are Talking about the Razr x912. Verizon
Because that was sent from Motorola it was not a leak .
So they will keep it so you can upgrade.
So when it's finally pushed out do i have to do anything if i have safestrap installed? Its version 3.11 and have rom in slot 1.
