Hello
I have been away from the Android Motorola Razr Sceene for 6 months. I sold my Razr and bought myself a Windows Phone. But now im back, end of story.
What is happening?
Im located in Norway and have the GSM version of the Razr, is Jelly Bean out for me yet? Is it worth the upgrade?
Before i left
I used the EPRJ_EasyRootICS_MultiOS_v1.5 to Root my ICS Razr.
I used Safestrap-ICS-3.05
And I switched between Simplex OS and Eclipse OS, super debloated with my own recipe
I used BW_CM9_GSM-PATCH-dtrail to use these CDMA roms.
And now im sitting here with a brand new Motorola Razr Maxx and do not know what to do?
Is it worth the upgrade if I where happy about these rom's and all the themes and customizing I could do?
Should I upgrade to Jelly Bean or stay with my old recipe?
I was very very happy about battery and quickness of these rom's I used, but I need some input if someone could be so helpfull
edit: also wondering if I can root my phone with the Jelly Bean rom installed.
Thank You
I've been using AOKP R7 with the updated kernel pack V1.2 and have found that kexeced rom to be extremely smooth. GPS, bluetooth, camera, camera flash, video and wifi work. Wifi tethering worked with R6 but for some reason doesn't work for me on R7. I'm trying to track the problem down.

If i were you I'd stay on ics for now, the only reason being is a number if people who have upgraded to jb lost root. At this point in time there is NO root method for xt910 jb en.eu
Only a matter of time until a exploit is found but until then it may not be worth the risk?

I'm using SS3.11 to run the AOKP rom. My stock rom is the official Optus Motorola ICS one. That has been rooted. The new AOKP 4.2.2 based rom is also rooted.

Thnx!
Thanks for fast answer guys, after Googleing and reading trough forums both here and others I have decided to stay with my old recipe. It was working flawless with not big bugs and fast as no other!
Im not into the whole experiment on everything again, so I will just wait for Jelly Bean to be more mature
Thank you again.

Hi,
One of my friends has asked me to root and install a custom rom on his phone. I havent been following the RAZR's community. Can someone please answer these few questions:
1. Is there any STABLE JB rom for RAZR maxx? I do not care much about fancy features or anything
2. Do all the roms etc work on droid razr maxx too which are for RAZR only
Thanks

The ROMs that are available now are not ready for daily use IMO. Data is pretty wonky and the camera doesn't work. There's also more lag interface-wise based on my own experiences with different builds. They do have ICS builds of AOKP and CM9 that have working camera and data seems more reliable if you want to check those out.
Also, as long as it's a CDMA ROM you should be fine.
Just wondering, have we gotten any JB leaks yet?

Are you talking GSM? Stuff for cdma has been out.
Currently, devs are compiling CM10/AOKP(JB) jelly beans by using libs we got with the ics updates. Since JB is mostly system/framework changes, we don't need a new radio/kernel to get it working. There are dev/experimental jb builds being posted and updated by devs in the Dev Section. You can find out what features are working and more info on how to flash there.

Pure hate train speculation. Even if true, moto said we would get $100 towards new upgrade if not updated to jb, which seems fair.

CM10 beta?
I'm on CM10 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801379&highlight=eclipse
Smooth, not perfect yet. But I'm definitely excited for jelly bean.

my upgrade in in june 2014 do you really think that $100 rebate will still be available then? I think not. I am on my second razr and i had orginally got a tbolt, then a warrenty tbolt, then a warrenty replacement to rezound, then vzw switched me to a razr,and that razr has screen blotches so they are sending another razr.... Do you think they will send me a razr hd or s3 at some point?
They have to first try and get you something similar first, so RAZR HD is probably what you would wind up getting possibly.

i dont think moto will release JB for razr:silly:
Looking how moto handled ICS release, especially for GSM, i don't think we will see JB release. Well, at least now we have kexec and CM thanks to dhacker and team. I'm using their CM10 (non-kexec) and pretty happy with it.
I second that :thumbup:

This.
I'm using the CM10 from September 22nd and it's working nearly perfectly.
Only problems I see are the signal indicator, which appears almost empty (even though the signal works fine) and the animation when you change from portrait to landscape, a glitch that only lasts for a second.
It's my daily rom now, blazing fast.
no webtop for cmf10 roms, right?
In the first quarter of 2013 it will come out as insurance against Obama recession if he gets elected and the market tanks Google will need spin. Stock price wise I think it was up to it all time record today . they don't really have to make anybody happy

Hi everyone ,
I'm running ICS on my RAZR Maxx and wanted to consult with all of the knowledgeable people here on xda about whether or not I should flash CM10 Jelly Bean on it or if I should just stick to the stock ICS.
I am running Jelly Bean on my nexus 7 and its so smooth and quick that I really want the same experience on the Razr but I am worried it won't be as smooth if I dont wait for an official update.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you have the CDMA version you can try the full throttle jelly bean ROMs over at droidrzr.com. everyone says how smooth they are.

Cm10 is still a bit buggy but ics based roms are amazing.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Well I went ahead and used safestrap which is amazing. Its not like it used to be where I have to wipe the device first but they have different slots allocated to different roms so I can go back to stock if I want easily plus have 3 more roms to choose from
I went with cm10 which is a bit buggy but still works pretty good so now I'm on cm10 jelly bean on razr maxx woooo hoooo

Many flashing directions say to wipe device. Does safe strap leave a clean place to install the ROM without wiping? If I go back to stock, will all my data and apps be intact?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
if u have gsm then stay with stock until cm10 is stable enough for daily usage
The new safestrap allows you to allocate 3 slots to different roms so if you want tp.flash cm10 and 2 other roms you dont have to wipe your device. Its really cool

Yes wipe device after creating and selecting the new ROM slot. You just don't need to wipe when switching between slots 1 and 2 after each one is set up.

I don`t like do wait for operator official ROM so I`m using AOKP ROM. I recommend that.
I didn't wipe the device at all.
You can create the new ROM slot and select it without the need to wipe anything

If you're on GSM, I'd say stick to your Stock Based ROM and work on modifications yourself wih init.d, build.prop, app debloating, etc.
If you're on CDMA, you can try to go with Jelly Bean based ROMs though they're still kinda buggy.
I quit JB ROMs on my GSM due to Mobile Data Problems and System Deep Sleep
Yes, I've studied xda for three weeks on the Droid Razr, and I still don't know how to flash a ROM on this thing. Information is scattered, disorganized, and much of it is old.
Let me tell you, figuring this out is a Holy Terror, unlike my old Nexus One. And as a bonus, almost no one will answer any of your questions!
Good luck man, you'll need it. Most ppl give up.

Well its pretty simple actually once you spend time and do the research
First you download safestrap from here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/downloads/
Then you follow the safestrap installation instructions here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
then you download CM10 Jelly bean here:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/cm10
Get the latest version and save it to your device (Its a zip file)
I just saved it to a dropbox directory and then exported it to the phone but you can do it however you want.
Then you can watch this youtube video:

Im sure there are others but he uses safestrap v3 so its easy.
And voila you have a buggy CM10 but its jelly bean
How is it that a phone with lesser specs than the droid x2 has more android development than the droid x2? Sure its an older phone, But the ONE V has Jellybean Roms and thats a lesser phone. Can someone explain this to me? Because I find it redundant that we don't update this phone at all. I mean come on Gingerbread is so 2 years ago. Wheres ICS or JB roms for us devoted DX2/MX2 users?
1) The One V ships with ICS. Jellybean isn't too far of a stretch from there
2) it has an unlockable bootloader. We do not.
4) we DO have ICS and JB roms. I'm running jellybean on my DX2 right now.

Think about those for a minute. I emphasized we for a reason.
Don't come in here begging for something that people have already HANDED TO YOU FOR FREE.
Don't like them? The resources to create/improve have been put out there for you.

And what actually works on said ROM?

We have ICS and Jelly Bean ROMs. The problem is our bootloader is locked. So we cant fully take advantage of the phone or the ROMs unless its a Gingerbread ROM. You cant come in here and start a rant that this phone hasnt been updated (because it has, unofficially). If you are going to rant, rant to Motorola. They are the ones keeping us from having a fully working ICS or Jelly Bean ROM. Not the devs here.
Flash the rom(s) and play! That's the fun of the game!

So what time is the most stable and functional for y phone ATM.

Well, you should forget about custom AOSP ROMs (Android 4.2 & above) because HDMI functionality is not fixed yet in the Kexec kernel, although it might be fixed someday for 4.4 ROMs (not sure though).
So, you should try Stock-Based ROMs which are based on Motorola's OMAP4 Kernel in which everything works out of the box. There are plenty of these, search on the development section of Droid Razr here on XDA. Remember that in order to install custom ROMs you must first be rooted and with a custom recovery installed on your device.
Anyway, click Thanks if I helped you
