I find two versions of CM10 in this tutorial which are CM10 with and without KEXEC respectively.
SO what is the difference between of them?
thanks!!
I believe that kexec cm10 is a ROM version which has a custom kernel that " hijacks" the stock kernel when booting. But I warn you it has a lot of major bugs like no camera, battery drain, and much more. On the other hand Just regular cm10 is fairly stable and runs off the stock kernel (recommended). But remember since the new leaked jb ota came out for the RAZR. You just can't flash a ROM made for the ICS ota on the jb ota. UNLESS YOU USE KEXEC. THIS ONE WILL WORK ON ALL OTAs
Hope I helped

When I717UCLC5 ICS leak first became available, a few hours later several ROMs were developed based on that.
And I recall that initially the ROM included GB Kernel for a very specific reason - to enable easy reflashing of GB ROM if desired.
So I have two questions -
1. Why would the new kernel make it difficult to go back to GB ROM? I though ROMs generally come with a kernel, so in the event of reflash it would be replaced?
2. Now that we have UCLD3 leak I can see new ROMs coming up that include the new kernel without any sighted concern for backward compatibility. So is there any concern over flashing the new kernel (besides the reports of hard bricks that affected other leaked roms but don't appear to apply to our processor)?
Thanks.
any ideas???both use a gyroscope right?
From all I have read, all ROMs running jellybean are still having difficulty with the stock 4.1.1 camera. Until the time comes that the base CyanogenMod or AOKP builds are fixed up there is really no way to get the camera up and running from 4.1.1 much less 4.2. I may be mistaken, but it is all over all the jellybean threads I have read, as well as the ROMs I have installed.
Now this may change with the completion of the kexec ROM source. Kexec is just a fancy name for bypassing the boot loader and installing a custom kernel. Just FYI, if you didn't know what that was already.
Hope this help.
P.S. I think I remember seeing that Max from High on Android had reviewed a ROM called eclipse that may have had the photosphere camera working. Seems like it was an ICS ROM though...

Hi there Razr community!
Could you all post what you think is the most stable ROM for the XT910 with regards to both ICS and JB?
If you do so it will be very helpful to provide a link to the thread of the ROM you suggested....
P.S
All reasonable posts will be thanked!
MIUI
MIUI i feel. Still do the research well. I have a friend using it. Stable as hell..!!

Team SpeedCore roms
As a droid razr rom developer of course im going to go with the roms i created
DualCore is the more stable rom, being ICS. Battery life is insanely awesome, I added in extra modules and build tweaks. Also has 4.2 apps, including camera and keyboard. If you flash this one, make sure to flash the provided gapps, under the gapps directory called gappsfordc2.3.
Then there's JellyCore series roms. These are jellybean roms, (CM10, AOKP, AOSP and CNA) not as stable, but still work good. Bluetooth phone calls dont work and auto rotate is buggy, but that's about it. Also has modules and tweaks. Use regular latest jb gapps. I have that in my gapps directory too.
All my roms are available here:

CM10.1
I think CM10.1 is a pretty good one. Their are some bugs, like no auto camera flash and gps , but its good for daily use. Also u schould have a look at the PAC ROM.
Max
I also like CM10.1 and currently have it installed for test on 2nd slot since some days. So far I think that is already can be used as daily driver. Bugs I noticed.
1) no query on SIM pin
2) no camera flash
3) reboots when USB is connected to PC
4) configuration of notification LED colours does not work properly
The ROM uses as default storage the external SD card instead the internal one. I like this feature.
Another ROM I use since some weeks and which is very stable, well performing and battery life is great, is customer ROM that is based on JB stock ROM 4.1.2. It uses inverted GApps which looks great for me.

Currently i have VK ROM (based on 4.1.2 leak) but got tired of those samsung based ROMs and choose to go back to AOKP/AOSP ROMs like CM 10.
Ive seen that there is a "regular" version and another one named nightly. whats the difference between the two?which one is more stable/giving better battery life?
also,if you have it i would like to recommand me on speciefic version (like,the build's release date) and with which kernel it worked better.
(recommanding other combination of ROMs and kernel will be good as well)
thank you! :good:

By "regular" i think you are referring to "stable" releases, as it implies stable releases are having the lowest or no bugs in the entire release cycle. The nightlies are having high chance of major bugs and issues and is not recommended for daily use.

Also I recommend the stable version for downloading from the rom download list
There are two 7.2.0(Gingerbread) and 9.1.0(Ice Cream Sandwich) as stable releases.
There are several good roms based on CM10 (which currently has only nightlies) like ReVolt, Resurrection Remix(which are stable).

I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
So now that the JB ota is out. will all the roms on JB fix like camera flash and the screen rotation? I would love to use those but i just need everything to work.
The ROMs based on CM10 and CNA Jellybean have their own source code appart from moto's one and that there is now an official JB doesn't necessarily implies that the bugs mentioned will solve faster, could help but just that; you can take CM9 roms as an example, even when moto's ICS was out It still passed some time before there were a completely functional CM9 and even then the HDMI/webtop couldn't be solved because of propietary (crypted?) code, but take for sure that at least those ROMs that will be based on the leak (not CM nor other) will be working as they have to
