Ive been bouncing around all the JB roms for a while now.... I seem to have a jumble of issues with each one, including;
freezing, reboots, flicker, audio wont work, doesnt want to play audio file (sometimes Gmusic will work sometimes not.. i have an audiobook player that gives me issues too, sometimes,)
Sometimes if very smooth, sometimes not, sometimes its just so crazy laggy!!
At one point i got so frustrated that i wiped evrything! including the storage the card, system.. everything. .... still have issues.
It seems like with every rom there are just more issues...
Is there a JB rom that is running really well? no reboots/freezes everything works well?
Maybe an ICS one? Which was the best ICS rom with zero issues?
The Hybrid RCVII has been pretty much issue-free.
Would like to move to Paranoid/Hybrid for the more fine-grained per-app dpi/layout settings...
JB is still very much a WIP....
and does contain bugs that can be real show stoppers. But if you are wanting a very stable ICS build with several additions that function exceptionally well,
Might I suggest trying flappjaxxx IMM76D UCLF6 build #5.
I feel a bit guilty propping any developer or build over another, simply because we have so many highly skilled developers here, but I must say that after trying every available build for the note that we currently have, the flappjaxxx build is my top pick.
And all of his work comes highly recommended, if I'm asked what I prefer .....g
I'm going to put on my flame retardant suit and wade into the brimstone here and ask why not use the stock ICS ROM and root it. I haven't really seen anything in the various cooked ROMS that makes me want to switch over. THIS IS IN NO WAY A DIG AT ANY DEVELOPER.
I find the stock ICS to really fly and almost anything I need to add I can either find in the Market or here on XDA.
I am waiting for the Note 2 apps to get ported over, but other than that, I am really happy with the stock ROM. It has pretty good battery life and I don't see any real hard evidence that any other ROM has better battery life.
Anyone care to chime in and let me know specifically what I am missing in the cooked ROMs?
Just go stock ICS
Burp
I had a really good, stable stock ICS build. GPS was even great.
On a whim, I flashed BlackStar V, then BlackStar VI. I haven't looked back.:good:
Stock is fine, if you want the bloat, and the lack of kernel enhancements that the devs cook in....
You are obviously going to be fine either way.....g

Freeze the bloat with Titanium backup. What are the kernel enhancements. Not challenging you, but asking because I don't know what they are.

+1 !!!
for all the JB bugs... I would like to stay on ICS, but at the same time I love the paranoid android features ( especially the latest version 2.11 )
so DEV... can we mix the 2 ??

if it come in a CWM flash-able zip ... all you have to do is open it with WINRAR and go to "system/app" and remove the bloat(s) BEFORE you flash it
No rom is perfect. Stock or not. The best you can do in terms of custom are rom built on released firmwares. They will have the least problems. When porting or trying to build something that the manufacturer hasn't released the drivers for problems arise. At this point close to stock ICS is your best bet but you don't get the fun of paranoid or liquid or countless others. I find bleeding edge software fun. Bleeding edge hardware is another thing. Good luck.
I would recomend using a de-bloated ICS rom. As mentioned, the flappjaxxx ROMs are really good. Personally I was unhappy with all the JB roms I had tried and was using CM9 as my DD.
Just last night I tried both the current Slimbean and Liquid(both with the flappjaxxx JB kernel) and I was pleasantly suprised. It was night and day from when I tried them both less than a week ago. Right now I'm using Slimbean and it's working great for my uses. But as you mentioned Gmusic is broke(I use poweramp).
I still have a backup of my CM9, in case I run into any major showstoppers.
I'd recomend checking back fairly often as these JB roms are pretty early in development but getting better at a pretty rapid rate.

A few of the major changes that are made to kernels, prior to our getting them, are init.d support, CIFS support, Boot anim. support, OC/UV support, and GPU support.....just to name a few.
There are several others, but my brain has a difficult time getting past the ones I just mentioned...LOL....g

The ROM I always jump back to, is King Kang. It is AOKP with paranoid android features. Per app dpi works great and I haven't had any issues with it.

Man, if ya want perftect stay stock, there are always going to be issues with ROMs, Christ there are issues with stock.
As well just to add, the JB ROMs have come a long way in a short time people should stop whining so much.
Hello, so I have just started playing around with root and flashing my Razr Maxx. After having it rooted on the stock rom for a bit and liking all the new things i could do, my friend found a Rom, Wizzed Bean CDMA 4.2, and flashed it over to that. So far I have loved it. It has so many things I can customize and switch around, its amazing. Not to mention that I am seeing better battery life the I did on stock.
But with the new JB update out, I am thinking of going back to stock. I have ran into a few issues with the ROM i am using, such as my wifi not working correctly and because of that issue I cannot use tethering apps like I used to. If the JB update is good enough, I would consider going back to stock to update it.
Is it worth it? has anyone had any major issues? I have read some of the small changes for JB, and nothing really sounds that great.
I got the JB update and I love it so far.

Just so you are aware that my opinion is unbiased, I have also tried the jellybean roms and the 4.2 rom.
wat up brahs,
finally got ubuntu installed which means i finally got s-off, which means i'm finally free to do whatever da **** i want. anyways i'm looking for the most stable/least bugged custom rom running android (no sense bull****) i see theres a lot of cyanogenmod 10.1 but in all honesty whenever i install cyanogen theres some serious bugs (gps not working, lte not working, google music malfunctions, etc)
So what is the best/most stable pure android 4.2 experience i can get right now?
I am enjoying the Carbon ROM 4/28 build. I have not run across any bugs and the battery time is solid. I have used GPS but LTE is unavailable to me and I have not used Google Music.
At this point, anything that doesn't sat Nightlies. I have noticed that the stability of each rom varies from phone to phone. I can tell you whatever I want to about XX rom, and make all of my claims. It would mean nothing to you if you phone can't boot the rom.
My motto, why depend on someone else's judgment, when you don't know what makes it better than the other roms to begin with?
As for my opinion on where to start, try kushdeck's latest 4.2 build. It's the closest to stock 4.2.
EDIT: Why does a flashaholic need rom advice anyway? Lol.

~Asking for the 'best rom' is just like asking who's the best Pokémon. When you get it, sometimes you realize that its not all that great in your opinion. Try to flash 'em all! ~
I was having issues with my phone where all my calls would go straight to voicemail using sense roms. I was on Slimbean for a while and it was about as stable of a rom as you can get. So I'd recommend slimbean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222421
another vote for kushdeck's cm 10.1 build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110920
very stable
I'm running CM10.1 M2 "cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2". It seems very stable thus far; been running it for around a week.
There were issues getting GPS to work, but there is a workaround that fixed it for me on the first try. Only takes about 10 minutes to fix using this method.
That said, MHL/HDMI still don't work. I haven't been able to find a workaround to get it to work, yet.
Overall I'd recommend CM10.1. Doesn't seem unstable to me thus far; haven't had a single crash.
I tried a lot of the AOSP ROMs and LiquidSmooth has been the best for me. It has tons of customization options from within settings and is really snappy when multitasking. Each ROM I tried including CM always had some strange issue that made me jump ship. Only thing liquid does is spazz out on the lock screen like a GUI glitch but doesn't effect performance and I don't know if its a me thing or ROM based.
CM is so vanilla. Sense is dopeness. Especially w sense 5 Rom.
Jk by the way, CM 10 is good if u can deal with stuff not working right. Much like Sense 5 port for us.

Cm has been really good for me. Everything works except for the MHL/HDMI out which I do not care for since I never use it. The battery life on CM 10.1 is amazing, much better than Carbon. That being said, Carbon is still a great rom. My vote is CM 10.1 but you should try both and see which you like better

I tried Cyanogenmod after hearing about it over and over.. turned out to be pretty terrible on my Razr Maxx. Constant reboots, CPU getting stuck at full load making my phone get really hot, poor battery life, bluetooth completely going haywire almost daily requiring me to clear dalvik cache to use it.
I am looking at trying a different rom, but from what I have heard, most roms use the kernel used by CM. Now, I don't know if the issues I've had are related to the kernel, or if they're related to the software. Does anyone know anything about that? Has anyone been using a rom that seems to work pretty flawlessly on the device? All I'm looking for is something stable, lightweight, and well maintained. Any recommendations?
I need to get a different rom on there, the stock rom for whatever reason can't connect to bluetooth in my new car.

I have this rom and have no problems with it and I have the normal Razr but they are the same inside. Try wiping every thing and starting over that has helped me a lot

Honestly, a lot of the time the AOSP Roms such as CM just don't work as well on our locked-bootloader devices as they do on others. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that the devs here have given us these great Roms, but they just don't work as well as Stock or Motoblur based Roms do. If you definitely want AOSP, I'd personally recommend CarbonRom. It has always run very well for me on my phone.

Try it with carbon and jbx kernel. Works very well.
Carbon isn't really maintained atm but the latest build is the last version of 4.2.2. Now they are working on a 4.3 version. I will try to port the 4.3 version when it's out but I think there will be no official support anymore.
If you have the xt910 there is only my unofficial build. The xt912 has a official build.

Installed the latest nightly, will give this one a shot. Thank you! I saw it in the list but I wasn't a huge fan of the design in the screenshots, but now that I have it on my phone I like it. Hopefully no bluetooth issues since it seems a lot was carried over from CM.
I had the same Hell with CM10. And DU. And when I asked about these issues the reaction from fanbois here was terrible and hyperbolic, so from then on I just complained about them. (No GPS? No MMS? Low-rez camera? FCs? Really? {der})
So I searched and searched for a good rom when miui stopped supporting the xt910.
+1 for Carbon. It is fantastic. Sometimes you get a black screen on boot so just reboot to BMM and fix permissions. I am so relieved to have a good rom. I now have stock on slot 1, Carbon on slot 2 (daily driver), AOKP on slot 3, and an old MIUI on slot 4. MIUI5 is non-functional as system files are not actually installed.
I have miui5 installed on system 2 with bmm so far it's flawless

Well that's dynamite, marconz. But that's not on 3 or 4, is it. I am not about to replace Carbon with MIUI now.
cm10, carbon, aokp. all of these roms gave me that random NO SOUND issue. ringtone, notification, alarm...completely went silent. even if i go to settings>sounds and try to tap on the sound i want, it does not emit any sounds at all. eclipse is the only one that has not done this so i am sticking with eclipse for now. but i leave Rom Slot 1 open just so i can try CM10 every now and then hoping the sound issue is fixed. trust me, i want CM10 to work but if the sound intermittently doesn't work like that, i can't have that as a daily driver rom.
This thread should be moved to general section, there is no development here

Hi everybody,
I have been trying roms for months. I donate some of them, I reported bugs, I really gave lotst of times for this work. I just wanted to have a rom that newer Android... I am really tired of trying... I realize that; this is wasting time. I could not find a rom that works perfect or without issue. People say, "Stable/great/perfect rom, you should try" but when we try, it have lots of problems.
Finally, Am I going to have a newer really stable Android, without problem or lag?
Addition:
Finally
I found this rom
Mokee http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596176
It is just what was i looking for...
Addition 2:
After 1 week, Mokee get laggy specially while incoming call. Phone ringing but caller screen came 4-5 seconds later.
Changed rom to SlimKat Beta 2.3
I have been using SlimKat more than 3 weeks.
Just one problem: Can not install some apps like xda app (error about sd card)
No more problem.
I suggest SlimKat.
no proper drivers for custom kexec kernel means... never ... sad but true ... get nexus device as i will... shame for moto and their bootloader lock such good device wasted...
Listen you maybe just wasting time but u also need to see that a majority of the users are having a good stable for most things. Sometime you have issues that could be that you have you caused it. Just my opinion my xt912 is running fine on cm11

Stock ROM always makes a prefect job
I can understand that you are annoyed by trying ROM that turn out to be everything else but stable.
I had that too but to be fair I must say that my Stock ROM wasn't 100% stable either.
The good thing about this is: it's all voluntarily, so everybody can choose the personal best solution
Try china stock, used almost half year without any issue, hdmi and 1080p is perfect.

You guys say everythin ok, but when i look your post in rom topics, I see that you reported problems too.
I mean, roms are good, maybe working faster thank stock, but device freezing, sd mount problem, hdmi, camera problems, apps crashing, gps problems, visual problems, and other problems we have lot.
For example, I tried
Mokee
CM11
Slimbean
Slimkat
Artmod
Gummy
Eclipse
Miui
Some unoffical roms,
And i can say that, i tried to flash all of them bmm and also safestrap times and times. But all of them have problem that does not available to use daily.
If you ask that; what hell are you looking for?
I just looking for a newer android version (than stock 4.1) that working without problem (I dont care camera, webtop, hdmi )
Well, Can you offer a rom 4.3 or 4.2 working perfect?

I have learned here @xda there is a work-a-round for most anything U may be having issues with. Of course with Kexec some things just are not possible, yet.. To sum it up, there is an app for everything (almost) the only work-a-round I have not been able to accomplish or find here would be HDMI as I have to switch back to stock if I would like to use my phone with my TV and or computer but I am definitely not complaining this is for sure. Everything else I use daily or on a regular basis is 100% stable...

I have been running stock on my Razr Maxx (XT912) for over a year but it got bloated and VERY slow so I wanted to ROM this phone finally (I had messed around with my prior Droid X phone alot ).
Unfortunately ROMs always failed when I tried them. Unable to open zip in safestrap (updated to 3.65). I couldn't find a good answer to this problem so factory reset and tried again....no go...still failing. Verified the downloads. They are good. Rage/ Slim ROMs, CM 10 and 11...nothing works. I finally try to reflash my phone with the utility, but I used the wrong/ old one...phone no longer boots....uh oh!
Found the proper utility (updated batarang one) and ran it and I am able to boot again....but I'm still stock.
Reinstall Safestrap 3.65 and retry ROMing this thing. CM 11 (12-27) takes. Flash gapps and kernal. All is well. Double wiped cache/ dalvic between each step.
Been 24 hours now and I have had a couple crashes. Had to reinstall, then uninstall and reinstall dolphin browser to get it to work.
Just tried a pic and it worked fine...Gallery from phone crashed but opened fine separately.
The only problem I have with it so far is that PDAnet does not work. So I'll have to swap over to stock for net access that way.
I still have to learn the in and outs of the experience (?) launcher, but it is working pretty well for something that is still experimental. This is my one and only phone...my daily driver ... so I can't do with a lot of bugs. But of course my expectations are tempered by the fact I know I am not using a fully released ROM. I can say that my phone is running better than before and I get to have the fun of learning the new ways to use the phone with the improvements/ changes of the latest android.
I have read quite a few posts of people being upset that the ROMS aren't perfect. Read the posts about your particular ROM. Be sure you can deal with the bugs they list (usually on the first page/ post) and if not, don't use it. Also do a clean install the first time. Also follow the directions and read before you leap.

I have to say, MIUI has been the most consistent in performance. Only problem is that I've got an XT912 and I had no data while I used it. I only used it for two weeks, but during those two weeks it performed beautifully.
I am having the same issues as the OP. After about a month of use the ROM starts freezing and rebooting from time to time and overall feeling VERY sluggish. A fresh install always fixes this. I'm currently running CM10 and it as worked well for the longest by far, but is now awful. Stock is also subpar after a month of use.
Ok guyz
