Which custom ROM you recommend? - Motorola Droid RAZR

There are very many roms in the dev section. I want people here to recommend roms they are using. Fast and stable with some nice features.
I only know liquidsmooth, stock aokp and cm10.1. The last one seem the most stable. I want miui v5 though :/

This is a good question..... I just got a Droid RAZR and I really like the phone and was wondering what is a good custom ROM to put on it

Probably one of my favorites is Buttered AOKP! It has a lot of features, seems to be very stable (at least in my usage), and is extremely smooth and fast. I'd definitely give it a try if you haven't already!

That depends mostly on your personal requirements. You might have heard that a lotbut its true.
First of all decide what things are necessary for you and see what ROMs support it.
If you prefer the features of stock ROMs as HDMI,HD recording etc than consider stock based ROMs.
If you feel those features are less imp against customization and other performance tweaks, go for AOKP/AOSP based ROMs.

Best rom for RAZR Maxx in my opinion
Turn your RAZR Maxx into a Samsung device

buttered aokp

Hello there,well I think one of the best roms out therewould be pacman,but for me the screen "jitters" a bit so I switched to liquidsmooth 2.7 so far so good.

Does anyone know if there is any stock based rom with retail.eu as base?
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium

Not sure but if you wanna search consider this. An initially/only GSM ROM based on stock JB 4.1.2 will use eu ROM as base. See if you can find it.

Aokp

Rage ROM is my goto ROM. It's fast and clean and I haven't had any problems with it.

Cyanogen Mod 10.1 Has always been the most stable for me.
But Pacman is my favorite solely for its Customization and i love Paranoid Androids Halo!

Cm10.1

Eclipses ROM for jb .16 kernel
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app

Liquidsmooth!!!
Liquidsmooth has by far the most customisability, i feel.
I tried CM10.1, locked up as hell. You don't have small conveniences such as swiping left from the pulled-down status bar to get to quick-settings (a feature I used to like a lot in MIUI v4, and also now in Liquidsmooth)
AOKP is way better in such customisability than CM, but... It just seems unstable to my daily use.
LIQUIDSMOOOOOOOOTH haha. Thanks!

Why don't you guys have pure Paranoid Android yet..? Or maybe there's one on a different site somewhere?
Anyways, does anyone want to test my recent PA build for spyder xt912? CDMA only for now (GSM to probably come later).
Candidates must be fluent in flashing custom ROMs and comfortable restoring your system if something goes wrong. Also, a bonus if you know how to get logs and/or can help troubleshoot possible issues (guess I could have done without the "/or" there..). For BMM and/or SS only. And install on a non-main system, please.
PM me for details and/or a link... Maybe first 5 or so people, after that I might not reply - don't be mad..
(Not sure if this was the best place to post for this sort of thing, but better than starting a new thread I suppose)

I've been going back & forth between PACman & Liquidsmooth. I have a slot dedicated to each. I use PACman for the unbelievable customization options & the fact that it uses bits of Paranoid, AOKP & CM; thus giving you a chance to "test" all 3 at the same time. I like Liquidsmooth because it is just that; smooth. I also use it as my more "simplistic" ROM. Enjoy.

Thinking about ics

Its been awhile since I have browsed the sgs2 forums and I stop in and notice ics is all over here. So I'm thinking of upgrading my girls s2 to 4.0 and I want opinions and stability and function of the current roms.
I'm leaning towards aokp or cm9. I have cm9 on my note and a500 so I'm fond of it obviously.
Coming from gb rooted w/ cwm full wipe and good to go I assume? I ask because in the n7k forum the leaked kernals suck and there were all these stupid methods for going from gb to ics...
Anyway thanks.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Yup full wipe. I am not running either of those ROM's so cant comment on them. I have been following Task's AOKP thread. That may be the next one I try.
If you'd like to try a Samsung based rom, give ShoStock2 a try. It's the best I've ever tried.

Ultimatum and SHOstock are excellent. AOKP is pretty sweet too.

I've been running aokp for a few weeks and love it so far. It has been pretty stable and fast as hell. I'm sure things are even better in the latest build, but I haven't flashed yet.
Its like when GB became available and everyone was still on Froyo- once you open the desert and have a taste, your likely not gonna go back. And now that video recording is fixed- its all gravy baby

Definitely go with AOKP, it's stable, fast, full of features, and rocks great battery life.
The only benefit of the Samsung ICS is MHL.

If MHL is a must, i think you're stuck with TW for now. My final choice was between aokp and cm9. Check the support/discussion threads, big difference...
No need for MHL I just want a stable ics rom for her because her miui rom is buggy as heck.
Thanks guys ill keep watching the dev section. For me aokp and cm9 are really similar so it just comes down to battery life and stability which is different for each person.

Aokp all the way baby, super stable and awesome battery. Way better than gb

I've been using shoshock lastest gingerbread build. it's great. I'm waiting for a while.
Running AOKP and it's running great.
Just flash Siyah's kernel and go for dual boot to check both Samsung and AOKP/CM9 roms together.
I've been running CM9 since the first nightly. I love it. My phone feels brand new and I don't feel like upgrade it, except I want LTE.
Thanks everyone. I flashed aokp for the extra settings and customization. Its been super stable so far and battery is good but will be better once it settles. Might try siyah might not???
Anyone recommend a Better modem? Have you been getting batter with gb ones or ics ones.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I'd go with CM9 nightlies simply because it's supported by ROM Manager which makes it ridiculously easy to flash new updates, which come very fast by the way...plus it's CM9. Good luck.
Cm9 is nice I use it on my tablet and note but lacks some features I know my girl requires.

I tested the latest LD3 but decided to change back to LC5, it is faster than the old modems and seems more stable in my area. I have been running AOKP for a while and love it.
I am enjoying CM9. Lots of Entropy involvement. Good team working on it.

Any stable JB ROMs with data yet?

Any Jelly bean ROMs for Droid RAZR Maxx that have all the essentials like WiFi and Data and aren't too buggy? If not which is the most stable and mainstream ICS ROM?
Sorry for the n00b question but I have to install this on my wife's phone so can't experiment too much. Plus I have learnt not to experiment with ROMs without asking questions first after almost bricking my VZW GS3.

It's best to read and see what is best for you. No there are no fully running jb ROMs yet....but soon. As far as ics I have r run both eclipse and simplex. Both are amazing and pretty much bug free since they are stock based. All the CM9 ROM have quirks, but are still very good. That's why I say read the different ones and see what meets you're needs.

Actually using cm9 that runs smoothly and has some fundamental features (for me) like back-button-kill-app, customizable toggles in notification bar and battery percentage.
I admit that jb is eve smoother but surely still too bugged
Right now, this is the best jb rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964792
Have yet to find a custom Rom with functional exchange, Bluetooth, and camera that I like. Currently running a cleaned, heavily optimized and themed stock. Runs beautifully, fast, and everything works. 26hrs average battery life with moderate usage. #win

i run ikream 2.11 final it is close to stock and has full functionality with %battery
i have run both 2.14 & 2.15 kernals as well
i found these to be the most stable and provide me with the most battery life
In this moment for me the best rom is the dtrail1 rom. Works perfectly and he is now working in kexec

I have been running rooted with the stock ICS ROM and Nova Prime with a couple of goodies added via Root explorer. I personally have been veering away from Jelly Bean for now on my RAZR as there are a couple of apps that I really like that don't play well with JB right now. No complaints and plenty of battery life.
I've switched to D-WiZ (using the stock kernel) a few days ago, and so far I am very pleased.
Battery usage is great, which is a stated goal of this ROM, and everything works at least as well as other ROMs I've tried.
Development is also happening at a very brisk pace, though it remains to be seen how long that continues.
Im considering using the Full Throttle AOKP jelly bean, its looks good. Has anyone used it personally and can say if this rom would be a go or not?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I'm running D-Wiz from dtrail1 and i think it's the best !
Very good battery and performance, and there is an KEXEC Version coming, that means the Rom won't have the typical cm issues!
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
For me was FTS. Switched on D-WIZ coz I like things moving on
I've been using Black Widow for a week now as my daily ROM. I really like the look, and with Juice Defender, the battery life is outstanding.

I am using D-WiZ Rom right now as my daily driver since it is being worked on. CM10 is nice, snappier, but it doesn't seem like anyone is working on fixing the bugs.

Currently running stock but I am eagerly waiting for dtrail's kexec version :good:
I have used the following:
i-Kream
Killer
SkullCandy
Artic
Liquid
Black Widow
Bionx
Eclipse 1.2 & 1.5
Simplex
My daily driver is Eclipse 1.5. I just flashed 1.5 from 1.2 and it is very stable, pretty, awesome battery life. Everything works (BT, Camera, Data). It isn't JB per se, but it has some JB things going on in it.
My daily driverROM is the Black Widow ICS. Very stable, everything works, great look, excellent battery life (not that stock was bad on the Maxx). Safestrap makes swappingROMs easy.

Why no new rom for RAZR CDMA

Its been a long while since a new rom came out for Razr , we are getting bored with the same old one.
What're you talking about? The DROID RAZR is officially supported on CM10.1, AOKP, and LiquidSmooth. There's also AvatarRom and PACman. That's just AOSP-based roms. There's a handful of awesome stock-based roms floating around too (such as Rage, Aviator, etc). You just need to look a bit harder
What are the main differences between "stock based" and "aosp based" roms. I'm currently running rage 2.4 with the apex launcher and absolutely love it but it's a stock based. Was wondering if it's worth the trouble to try something aosp based.

yes it is definitely worth going AOSP. Don't really know why it'd be more trouble than doing a stockbased custom ROM though.
I'd definitely recommend CM10.1. I've been loving cyanogenMOD since the early days of the Droid2 lololol
Pretty sure stock based roms tend to be more stable whereas an aosp bases ROM might have a thing or two broken like cameras and what not. Just my typical experience.

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!

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
PACman is pretty good.
