Stable GSM DNA 4.2.x ROM(s)? - HTC Droid DNA

Hi all -
I'm on GSM and I've been trying several ROMs and am dissatisfied so far with stability - it seems it's either an important feature is buggy or I get constant reboots/FC/stalls when I'm using the phone as a daily and when I most need it. Specifically re: features the BT headset audio is semi-important - if the ROM is solid throughout I can disregard this but I would love to have this feature.
Any ROMs anyone can recommend to me? I'm almost ready to chuck things and go back to full stock.
If there isn't a 4.2.x ROM that's stable I'm up for a recommendation of a ROM below 4.2 and is also above stock that is solid and stable (again I'm close here to just chucking it all and going back to stock).

Have you tried carbon? It was very stable back when I used it. Also slimbean is known for being a very fast light rom
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app

Carbon and Rootbox are the most stable I've tried. Slimbean should be smooth and responsive, but I haven't tried it yet. I am a CDMA user, but they should work on GSM using the GSM patch in the CM10.1 thread.
Note: BT audio and FFC are broken on all aosp ROMs. On some Snapchat and Instagram video playback are broken.

firmware is the drivers for the radios, board and stuff... flashing another device firmware either a. wouldnt work or b. brick the device...
flash one of the aosp/cm roms and then flash the GSM patch and you will be set to use it on GSM carriers

Stable ROM for Photon GSM

Hi, I am using Photon for my GSM. I have unlocked my phone and right now using MIUI ROM.
Can anyone suggest me which is the best available stable ROM for my photon with very less issues. Please help.
peetr's 2.3.5 Hybrid. It offer's the most in advantages vs stability. The current version has very few bugs and is extremely stable. It may not be "cool" but then again neither was Imperium.
1. Can we ange the status bar to be like MIUI ?
2. Do the softkey light works fine ?
3. Can i able con to sync facebook contacts and displays their photos and details in contacts with native apps without using Hexsync or something ?
Please give a reply .
ic4 roms not stable as u think
i tried 3 diffrent rom parinoid aokp and cm9 none were stable my phone wold randomly reboot when not being used , net flix dosent work issues with the kick stand mode i thought they all lacked the attension to detail since motorola makes things a lil harder soposidly
I second the choice of peetr's 2.3.5 rom. It works great and has been virtually bug free. I've tried stock, Imperium, paranoid, cm9, and cm7 also and the only one I can get data on aside from peetr's is cm7. I'm trying out simplemobile on my photon to see how t-mobiles network is.
Back to Stock
I unlocked my Photon to work with the AT&T and then decided to try some different roms. I think I want to go back to stock rom but keep unlock, how can I do that?

just nandroid restore your stock ROM. given you backed that up like you should have.
or do you possibly mean restore your radio to go back to the stock ROM / CDMA?

How is that rom going so far?
Did you used some fix or something?
peetr_'s 2.3.5 Hybrid is the best.
but for the adventurous people; cm10 alpha is getting along well with gsm network. better than cm9 alpha.
all CM9 have bugs
as i tried different CM9 ROM, all of them had major bugs, unless if you are considering camcorder not major part of the phone, even the alpha CM10 have the same bug and more.
for me i had to wait until an official release from Motorola
I think cm10 beta by jokersax with gapps v3 is better even though in the beta stage smooth and fast with small issues like white screen in camera application(but mind you jelly bean camera takes awesome photos even with the white screen) camcorder issues and themes not able to apply
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
I hope the GSM function will keep working on the new versions of CM10 that are going to come...
Any updates on stable roms? I just unlocked my gsm radio on att orginal2.3.4 looking for somehing good but.dont wanna brick my phone or lose my gsm inlock any ideas;please

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!

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

Alright, I may do that. I've been digging around here looking for a section or area where ROM's are posted, but I don't seem to be finding it.
Is there a section or area set aside for ROM's, perhaps sorted by device?

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!

I recommend BW v2, aviator with stock kernel and Eclipse
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.

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!

Which custom ROM you recommend?

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

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301493&page=25
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.

Turn your RAZR Maxx into a Samsung device

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)
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
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.

the most stable from my experience was a cm9 ics based rom as its most compatible with the device...most roms 4.1 based and higher have reboot issues because of a deep sleep issue caused by the default setting of the min frequency being too low under performance settings...but if you want everything to work including bluetooth and not have sense cm9 would be your best choice...4.3 based roms still have many bugs such as mms not working after first reboot and camcorder keeps force closing..4.1 and up still has a few bluetooth based bugs and your reboots...the reboots still happen on 4.3 based roms like pac until you change it to proper settings

The AOSP ROM I used for a while was PAC but it started rebooting a lot because it overheated while charging. CM9 was stable for me and CM10 is almost stable.

Even the latest version of cm9 (back in 05/28/13) has bluetooth problems. Is there really no aosp or kang that is 100% functional? Weather it be 4.0, 4.2, 4.3? Came close with Liquid Smooth but still having soft reboots.
Consider Talon v1.0, because either nobody is using it (unlikely with over 3000 views), or people are using it and brenuga just built it right and it works... and my money is on the later. Seems extremely stable, feature rich, and bug-free, it is what I am going with for my work phone.
My ROM of choice is CM10.1.3. I have zero issues with it. CM9 would be my next choice.
