Kexec vs. Stock roms? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Just got a brand new Razr Maxx on the cheap! So excited to have freedom from my charger! Made the switch from galaxy nexus just because of the battery life. Anyways, I have rooted the device and installed safestrap 3.0, and I want to install CM10 but I don't know the difference between Kexec and Stock type builds. Can someone please explain the differences for me? From what I've read I think maybe kexec builds can run custom kernels? I did a bunch of searching but I'm clueless still. Although rombitch.com is down, I found a download page on goo.im for hashcode's cm10 builds here (http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/cm10). Does hashcode upload the same builds as the ones on rombitch.com/spyder, or does anyone have a link for the latest version? Are there any drawbacks from going OEM stock to CM10? From older posts i found in my search battery life and signal issues were present but I'm curious what you all think currently. I am pretty happy with the stock motoblur ics and bloat apps removed surprisingly, but after just 1 day of use I'm already eager to try and get the purest android experience.
Thanks
Wes

I don't know the differences other than stock is what is in the OTA ICS builds?
But I do know that what is on goo should be identical to what's on rombitch and rombot.

Yes kexec can run custom kernels but the builds currently have some big issues, especially the lack of deep sleep so it kills your battery. Moving to cm10 you lose the ability of web top, HDMI, and screen rotation animation.

Did u use Hashcode Rom? I run it in slot 1 and LOVE it. Never a problem. Camera works great!

Hmm I'm on a kexec rom (LiquidSmooth) and deep sleep is working great and the camera also works flawlessly.
Edit: I just realised that OP was created ages ago

Hello there. Yes I have hashcodes ROM installed but at the moment I'm running the new AOKP build that is newly posted. Hashcodes works great but for some reason I still get a problem with the ROM getting stuck at a black screen sometimes when I boot and I can't figure it out. Tried older safe strap version. Deleted ROM slot1 completely...fresh installs...fixed permissions....and I still get that problem.

Comparison
Camera on stock roms is better
also the stability is better on stock roms rarely any crashes
some stock roms give the ability to use some of the motorola goodies.
whereas with kexec u get
smoother UI and android 4.2.2
Innovative features like integrated pie controls and customization( try liquidsmooth)
and also the ability to overclock with the use of the JBX OCE kernel by dtrail1
<---hit thanks if i helped any of u! :laugh:

Kexec does not have FHD video recording, not even HD, only SD works for now. Well, you can use LG camera and it does work Full HD but it is not a standard app. Newer dtrail kernels are very stable, I have not had a reboot for over a week, just look @ some screenshots in his kernel thread. CM10.1 is very fast, very overclockable (1.5Ghz in my case) while vanilla rom (ICS or JB) are less overclockable (up to 1.35Ghz) and slower on top of that. They offer some futures not found in CM - webtop mode and working HDMI for example (not to forget about FHD recording).
Debloated vanilla rom would be a good compromise, especially with some custom launcher.

All of this will be fixed, be patient, hashcode is working on it! And yes I do prefer Cm 10.1 over stock rom to be honest. I never had any issues with cm 10.1 RC2.
HDMI, webtop and 1080p recording is on his todo-list and I am confident that he will fix it.

I'm not worried or dissatisfied, was just answering a question really I'm using CM10.1 myself and really happy with it.

[Q] The fastest STABLE rom availibile for this phone?

Thinking about getting this phone as I'm on a low budget and I'm looking for atleast a midrange android phone to buy at the moment....
One thing I really need is developer support for a phone, and I was wondering if there's a ROM for this phone that can suit my needs if I purchase it...
I'm basically looking for a stable rom that's mostly bugfree and without annoyances such as FC's, reboots and so on...I'm also looking for a JB CM10 base...but I don't think I'll be able to find a stable Jelly Bean ROM at the moment so I guess any android version will do!
What I absolutley need:
-SPEED and RAM optimization for multitasking, gaming, and music
-Camera for photos
-3G, wifi and bluetooth
-Mostly bug-free
-HDMI mirroring
Things I can live without
-Excessive Customization
-Camcorder (though it would be nice to have)
-Webtop
Please help me find a ROM like this! Thanks!
Nutrino (CM7) or MROM (CM7)
Edit: Nutrino EE (CM7) is the most stable Nutrino rom, GT gives you more speed and don't worry about GT+

Where are the links to those roms? i havent found them
Thanks for all guys, i want to learn fast to help anothers :3
PD: Sorry for my bad english, i need more practice
Nice thread!!!
I went with MROM and am very well satisfied. Incredibly simple install.
Don't forget (as I did) to go to settings / mrom settings / applications and uncheck use internal sd card if you want to use your external card.
I know it's a bit dated, but for CM7, I love Dorian's RedPill ROM. It flies and has some great mods incorporated within. Good luck and happy flashing!

Yes, they have 100% camcorder with 1080p and flawless HDMI mirroring. If you want the best that's out there for the Atrix, CM7 based roms are your only choice. CM9/10 are too incomplete at the moment (no camcorder, flakey HWA and HDMI mirroring), and blur is kinda buggy and slow. I second MRom, it seems to be the best CM7 one out there.

Guys, just wait for the Release and let's see if it can be flashed by using the GSM Patch...
file size is a result of the tools used, whereas my tool set is no 100% yet, i used what i could with the hardware i have to compensate untill i pick up my dev rig. and imagine the stock was around 200-215 before i started adding stuff lol, the next versions and packs will help with the other stuff i need to work on, trust me you guys will like what i have in store for you guys!

[Q] Just Got An Atrix - What Is the Best Vanilla CM9 ROM?

So, I'm not an Android N00B or even a CyanogenMOD N00B -- I'm just a Motorola N00B. I've been hacking CM9 on HTC and Samsung phones for years so I don't need any "how-to" help.
I've gone through the forum here and I can't make heads or tails about what the general consensus is about different ROM's.
I don't need (or even want, really) Jelly Bean so I'm looking for a pretty vanilla (but solid) CM9 ROM.
Also, are there any issues with different radios and call quality? I ran into that a lot on the T989 (TMobile Galaxy S2) and I'd like to avoid it if I can.

Performance, working features and stability have come along way since cm9. I'd be looking at epinter's cm10 or cm10.1. But there are camera / video camera issues with all including cm9. If you want cm and with all things working then it would be cm7. Once we have a new kernel the cm9/10/10.1 roms will finally be fully optimized.

ICS ROMs based running on the leaked kernel are pretty good too, and include all the features except fingerprint reader and Lapdock support, the cons may be the battery life (Sometimes problematic AFAIK) and stability (Only for a little handful of users).
There is a CM10 ROM based on the leaked kernel but it's no longer under development, I think you'll prefer using ICSrom in that case.

Is there one that you suggest? :angel:

Suggested ROM

Friend wants to update her phone to ICS or jelly bean. I am looking for suggestions to the LIGHTEST and FASTEST rom with the fewest if any bugs that anyone knows of. Theres a decent list here from what i see so any suggestions would be great. I am not looking for ANYTHING fancy or colorful or features. Features are great but as long as it dosnt hinder the speed.
Thanks for your time.
AtrICS v 2.0 by Team Hope is pretty decent. Not much experience with JB except epinter's cm 10.1, so i can't give any advice there either. I'd just download each of the ICS and JB roms and try them out and find out which one works better for you.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, bad part is its not my phone, i just know how to root / install these roms so i just want one that has the basic required upgrades. Ill try the ones you suggest. Thanks. If anyone else has something to say about a particular rom it would be greatly apreciated. Reliability and speed are number 1
In that case, stay with an ICS rom. Most are pretty stable, but will be more stable after kernel development is complete.

There should be a webtop with that rom. I don't quite remember, i was on that rom for a short time before going back to gb.
All other problems should be fixed with 2.6.39.4 kernel development (see atrix dev section, ics/jb kernel thread for dev status updates) and implementation in the boot img. Be patient, they're working on it

thanks
I tried Epinter CM10 and it is a great rom. Smotth, reliable and responsive.
BUT !!!! There is a "but". There is a lot of functions that do not work anymore due to a lack of tegra drivers for ICS / JB... :
- no video recording (except in a very bad resolution 640x480)
- no hardware acceleration so you cannot play your video on your mobile stored in mp4 (native cam format), mkv....
- games will have a strange behaviour (lag, screen scrambled...)
For this reasons, I comeback to Gingerbread ROM and I have a full useable phone !
Make your choice, but You will are not able to get all
If you can get away from the idea of wanting just a JB or ICS rom, I'd suggest Neutrino Rom. Its GB and really stable.
Any rom u install which is not GB is not stable
U can go with Epinter cm10 much stable but u cannot video record using the phone the battery is also good.
On other hand u want everything working u better want to stay with MRom

Standard versions of CM, MIUI, CNA, etc
Advantages:
You're running ICS or Jelly Bean
All the latest apps are available
All the latest security enhancements are available
Battery life is decent
Disadavantages:
No HWA, which means video recording doesn't work correctly, games with heavy graphic demands won't run decently (you can forget about running GTA III, for instance), Spotify won't show album thumbnails, and there will be some screen lag.
No fingerprint reader
Currently available HWA-accelerated versions of CM (such as AtrICS and any ROM running "That Kernel" or "Those Libs")
Advantages:
You're running ICS or Jelly Bean
All the latest apps are available
All the latest security enhancements are available
HWA is available, which means everything runs silky-smooth and beautifully
Disadvantages:
M I S E R A B L E battery life (as in fully charged to completely discharged in about six hours, even if you're not using it)
Video camera still has problems
Still no fingerprint reader
A Tweaked Gingerbread ROM (such as MROM, Neutrino, etc.)
Advantages:
EVERYTHING WORKS! INCLUDING THE FINGERPRINT READER! w00t!
Full HWA
Excellent battery life
The Holo Launcher makes everything look very ICS-ish
Disadvantages:
You're still running Gingerbread
Some apps (such as SoA and XDA Premium) won't work, because they're ICS or JB-only
RaiderDuck, you forgot the lapdock, other than that, your comment should be a "sticky", not that everyone reads them, but it would cut down on the GB vs ICS/JB questions that have been answered over and over.

[Q] Stable and Lag-Free Rom

whats the best stable, lag free, and fast rom for the fascinate? is their any ROM that has JB/Kk? also, i need a rom with lots of internal space.
honestly i've been most satisfied with EH03, the verizon stock ROM. i've tried every version of CyanogenMod and nothing has come close to the fluidity and speed of good ol gingybread.
although if you absolutely can not stand touchwiz for some reason, CM9 is ok but it has a couple of issues (no native wifi tethering, weird texts from blank numbers, sometimes it just freezes and reboots itself).
also i use imoseyon's lean kernel along with a couple of other mods.. if you want them let me know. it kinda looks like touchwiz 4 for me.
using the stock verizon build too, debloated, debinged, rooted. all the links to EH03-based ROMs are dead unfortunately.

And it's so subjective,,, what works for one another despises...
I loved 'baked blackbean 6' it was 4.1.x jellybean (course i heavily tweaked it to my personal liking),,, and then came Slim ROM 4.2.2 ,,,
hellybean was good too,,,
Of course running the devil kennel from hellybean on these was the ticket too.
you just gotta be willing to take the plunge and try some different ones out till you find the one that trips your trigger the best :thumbup:
actually, based on prior experience, CM7 is the best non-TW GB ROM (although i'm content with my gutted out modded to hell EH03), ICS i just don't recommend because it gives excellent performance and is solid but the devs never fixed a few issues that are kinda big. JB just always lagged and stuttered too much but i remember Helly being a halfway decent rom
