Droid RAZR ROM question - Motorola Droid RAZR

Going to flash my rooted razor again.. i had AOKP full throttle, but it lasted a few days before it bricked. i am wanting a ROM that is stable and has a lot of customization. I am sure most people are going to say MIUI, but i am not a huge fan of it.. just wanting to see some others opinions. Thanks

Im on Eclipse 1.5.1 with safestarp . So far great battery , buttery smooth performance . I flashed the Razr M launcher with circles widget and loving it. A very stable ROM so far. If ur on Safestrap try it on one of ur ROM slots . MIUI is still under dev , once its stable it would be a great option too. I am going to trying Black widow now on another slot.

I'm using Simplex Revival as my daily driver and I have been for about two months now. I love it so far, great battery life, and with the UC/SC/OVERCLOCK script that is with it it makes it easy to save battery life or get better fps playing games.
But with everything Android it's all about choice. I found this list of roms a while back I hope it helps you as much as it has me.
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1171-look-here-for-all-available-roms/
Not sure what RAZR you have but that is a list of CDMA roms. Not sure about GSM roms sorry.
Good luck. Let us know what you end up with!

Yes! I liked how both the eclipse and simplex sounded as far as stability. Either of y'all have issues with MMS? That seemed to be main thing i was bothered by because i use my MMS several times a day.
Also, yell find they are easy to customize and devs steady coming out with cool new stuff and themes for them? I know thats main reason I'm excited about a stable miui coming out for my phone...i am all about customizing.
I'm also wanting to get more out my battery and simplex, eclipse and black widow sounded like you get significant gains with that.. i am over having to take a charger everywhere :-/
Ahh decisions! Will let y'all know what i end up with!

@ SAJdroid
Which blackwidow were you thinking about trying? AOKP JB, AOKP ICS, moto ics or CM10 JB?
Sent from my DROID RAZR

D-WIZ is really good at saving battery which was based on Jelly Bean CNA,and really smooth.But you have to flashing it with safestrap rather than bootmenu or bootrazrtrap.

Best current ROM?

So I know that there are a number of available ROMs out now for the X2. I just wanted your guys' opinion on the "best" one. And by "best", I'm talking performance-wise. Is there one that clearly stands out in terms of performance or are they all generally similar?
Btw I'm running Eclipse remix and it's pretty great. Thanks guys!

Eclipse hands down

Eclipse is nice. Mostly because it was the first one out and has received CONSTANT change feedback and support. I am sure the others will catch up to the following eclipse has and get the feedback needed to create amazing roms. With that said I think ALL the roms are great considering we have a locked bootloader so it is limited in what can be done.
My smartbench productivity score hovers around 3000. The gaming index tho has dropped to 2100 from 2700 on the remix5 test version. I been trying to figure out what changed. All I know is my gljellyfish only gets 22fps when I used to get 36 easily. And I notice my screen pixelates while watching netflix movies a LOT now. Just awaiting blurless 7 as I think it is the blurless I have been waiting for. I have stayed true to blur remix but I think that might change me.
My personal opinion is that the new Atrix update is the best current ROM. I like eclipse, but I didn't like the camera functions. Performance-wise they are pretty similar IMO.

Eclipse is the only true X2 ROM right now, and IMO (blurless) is the very best.

+1 less blur, the better imho. Eclipse v6 is very snappy and responsive and the battery life is great! I liked the performance of the Atrix stock port, but it's too much like stock. Take some time and flash away. Forget about scores and see which ROM feels, and performs, the best for you and what you use your phone for.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I like Alien and Liberty!!
The new atrix rom is awesome and very fast no problems for me at all
I'm personally on the atrix rom, i deblurred myself, installed the modified qhd twlauncher from the atrix forum, and im using the "way blur should have been" theme in the X2 themes and apps board; my smartbench is disappointing me (1600 productivity :X) but it's the smoothest my phone has ever been. If you're not a benchmark reliant user, it's awesome.
I use the stock atrix port.
I dont understand why people complain about blur, theres alot of blur thats way better than AOSP.
Camera, music, widgets, ect.
For me the widgets may have been the biggest deal. i like my homescreen crowded

It seems that people have a mixed opinions on blur or no blur. Im pretty sure that there are strengths and weaknesses with both.
What I like about nitro's rom's is that he has somehow found the best of both worlds and somehow makes them play nice together. That's an amazing feat in itself!

Eclipse. I tried the atrix port but went back
I was on v.6 of Eclipse, downgraded to v.5 for the red ICB theme. Going to try out others. My first smart phone, and its a blast trying out tons of stuff! I say pick one that has a cool name like Alien, flash it, then move onto another weather you liked it or not, and keep going, even if it feels like the best one ever, there's always another to try! Figured I might try some ATRIX port ones tonight!

Atrix with the Alien theme (not Alien Rom). I read on another forum that you can flash pretty much any theme thats compatible with the Atrix version 4.5.91. So far so good, I'm running Navens Atrix port with very little blur look, will probably try to De-Blur as much as it permits.
after running the Atrix port for about 2 weeks, I'm going back to eclipse, the atrix port has been giving me problems using wifi tethering and honestly, the longer I use it the more it lags and the slower it gets.
eclipse gave me NO problems whatsoever (except for crappy battery life) but that was version 5, I'm trying to hold out for blurless 7 but I don't know if I can wait that long.

Eclipse v7 RC FTW...
used both atrix port 0.4 and eclipse v7, and i have to say that speed of Eclipse v7 is unparalleled...so far battery life is also pretty good...
Plus i am definitely liking the default cyan theme...
Id go to v.7 if there was a red and black theme. I like the Win 7 ROM that Peperm1nt just released. Its still in its beta with some fixes coming soon, but I like it because its fast and looks different because of Launcher 7. Might want to give it a try!

Which ROM is your favorite and why?

I'm currently running Liberty3 and since it looks like development on that is dead I was going to move. Which one should I look at and why?
Eclipse 2.03 is a great rom. Nitro provides a lot of support even though he works on different devices. It is a fast and good performing rom! You can not go wrong with Eclipse. There are also tons of great themes for it as well.
Eclipserom.com for the newest 2.03 version.
Eclipse...without a doubt. It is stable and extensively supported. Check out the website eclipserom.com

I tried most of them. Kept going back to Eclipse. It's the most stable and most refined and best supported. And since version 2.0 it has all the features that I missed most from the my old Droid that was running CM7.
And to keep the trend going: Go to eclipserom.com !

Eclipse definetly. Nitros already mentioned that there will be more to come for the X2.
you forgot gingerbread phone 7 =)
Well, guess I'm a Liberty guy. Eclipse is great but I ran Liberty a long time when I had my X and when I saw it here, I jumped on it and never looked back. It runs flawlessly for me. Tried the new Eclipses but I always end up going back to Liberty. LOL, for some reason I feel like I'm in somebody elses house when I'm not using Liberty. So..............
I'm running Liberty on the ol X2. I've ran eclipse since its earlys, but once Liberty came out I've ran it. Just seems to have a little better battery life to me, plus its smooth & fast. But don't get me wrong, eclipse is also a great rom. You really can't go wrong either way.
Eclipse.....
Need I say more?
See my signature
Eclipse saved the x2
I just switched from a DX w/ MIUI, to a DX2. My first choice was Eclipse 2.0.3 and I'm loving it so far. Great speed, a lot snappier than my I old phone.
I do miss MIUI tho.
molten
Molten has excellent battery, one of the best out there as far as I'm concerned. I can tweak everything I need to on Molten, and it has battery percentage on top right of status bar (yes a little thing, but something that has always bugged me). Very fast, faster even than my rooted stock launcher pro, which was faster than most. Pretty easy to use, as well, settings are nice.

Eclipse has had the one percent battery indicator forever.
It was the first ROM on the x2 tho come with it..
Just saying. Sounded like u were saying molten was the only one that has that....which isn't the case.
Nah, not the only one, just that it's a regular option, rather than a work around like some others, to have the percentage in the top right, and that's a big selling point for me.
Just giving the highlights of why I like molten, not dissing any other one.

I'm not implying a diss
Just conversing
I still don't understand what you mean.
Eclipse has the battery percentage there as well....I don't understand what you mean by work around? Just curious
Either unrooted, or a rom that doesn't have a default option for that. Eclipse does, and I could be wrong, especially if updates occurred, but I think a couple other roms don't have that settings checkout like molten and eclipse. I I could just be thinking of roms for other phones besides x2, that's always possible...lol

Well it sounds like CM7 is gonna be my new favorite ROM here in the near future
Tapatalkin' from my eclipsed DROIDX2
I've used every ROM posted here at XDA that applies to the DX2. I don't have a favorite but Molten and Eclipse are very full featured. I was a loyal user of Liberty on my old DX and think it's one of the greats.
But really, I'd like to see more from Peperm1nt. His GBP ROM is pretty darned good and he's quick to answer questions should you have any.
With that said, I really appreciate all of the devs who spend time on the DX2. Moto has not made it easy for them, yet they've brought us some pretty cool stuff.
Cheers.

Miui4dx2 or eclipse or cm7 current

It's hard to deal with the memory issue with all the CM9 bases, love the roms hate the resets and lags.
I haven't ran miui4dx2 gb since it's first alpha is it stable enough to enjoy it. I love my miui or should I just stick with cm7 or eclipse?

Give my MIUI a go! It's fairly stable with little to no reboots. If you don't like it, you can always nandroid back.

If you wanna stay on 2.3.4 then i would give Twitish's Rom a go, from what i hear its pretty nice. I'm on eclipse because it is damn sturdy. Once MIUI or even AOKP get a bit more stable or DZK comes through with kexec i will definitely be SBF'ing back down to 2.3.4. Seems to be where all the action is!
Stick with CM7. I've tried all of them and CM7 is the smoothest and fastest.
I've tried eclipse liberty and cm7. Cm7 is pretty good but it seems like eclipse has less problems. I'm on cm7 now though cause most of the issues I can live with.

eclipse 2.3 for me.
i was getting terrible battery drain, but i remembered last night that i had 2.2 on there and just flashed over it- without fixing permissions in recovery mode.
so i said screw it, i wiped all data and reflashed. its much better now, probably working as it should be, although i still think there is room for improvement for the battery life.
I've ran everything and I can't beat stock battery life
The only other Rom that ruled in battery life was the gingerbread based miui has twice the life ;/

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

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!

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

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!

Most "Wanted" RAZR x-mas present.

1: I was hoping for our bootloaders to be unlock. If not then 2: a fully working Kexec 3: or a fully working Aokp rom 4.1.2 /4.2.2/4.whatever.
What did you guys wish for? Btw Merry Christmas.

Why what is the deal with you and other people here saying they are so bad when you are not even saying anything about the bugs!!! And i never see you post in the dev form and say what the bugs are there ether. You guys make this depressing just go get a new phone and leave the grumbling alone ! I hope you realize that this is supposed to help people not bring them down. It just say to new people not to do anything like this!!!
I have to agree with you you Caleb!! My OG Razr Maxx XT912 is three years old, rooted out of the box, custom roms from day one!! What a thrill to be able to bring new life to the phone!! My forehead at the feet of each and every dev whose countless hours of work, allow me to have such fun with device!! I love testing each rom, boot animation, custom kernels, recoveries, just expands my knowledge of the future!! Proud to be running CM11 12/27, JBX 12/09, SS 3.65, WIFIAP patch, on stock side!! As is common in all non-stock based roms, no HDMI, big deal, rather love what the device can do, not something I rarely use!!
