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.
Hey guys.

I've been using Liquid Smooth for about a week now and I LOVE it! It's probably the fastest ROM I've used to date, and has way more functionality than stock ROM. I highly recommend it.

Hi guys,
I have just receive an XT910 with android 4.1.2 and i love it but i was questionning myself if i need to change ROM or not?
Can you advise me if CM10 is better than stock ROM (battery life/performence ?) Or maybe MIUI V5
Thx for your advise
Oh yes, much better. If you like cm10 and miui, you should try avatar ROM. It combines the two.
I use PAC-man rom. This combines several of the standout features from CyanogenMod, AOKP, and Paranoid Android into one rom.
Hello, sorry for intruding but i have a nexus s i9020 and someone with moto 910 wants a exchange with mine, but the nexus s runs really fast with custom 4.3, does the moto rzr xt910 (the name is to long ) handel 4.3 or 4.2 roms good (battery life smoothnes, stuf like that)? I know thT xda is a developer site but I realy need help from people who use the phone, thank you!

Razr XT910 does support both 4.2 & 4.3 Custom ROMs but there are a few things to consider.
On 4.2, HDMI and HD Video recording doesn't work. The devs are working on those.
4.3 builds are in development right now and also have some issues.
It depends on you what exactly do you want in a ROM.

I have tried all 4.2 roms on my xt912 but all to no avail. The major challenge I keep on having is that no rom allows me use mobile internet connections. I'm from Nigeria, and wifi isn't ubiquitous. Another challenge I have is that, my phone is XT912. But since all XT912 roms are done with CDMA in mind, I can't install SYPDER roms on my phone, so I have keep on trying XT910 (umts_sypder) ROMS. I don't know whether this could be the cause of my challenges.

If you have a spyder(XT912), you should flash spyder ROMs and not umts_spyder.
If you use xt912 on gsm,just flash the gsm fix after the custom ROM.

smart actions
I have a rooted standard ROM and I am also curious as to the benefits of changing to another custom ROM. I would like to know if the custom ROMs for the Razr still use Smart Actions app which I quite like. I have also upgraded the battery to the Maxx EB40 battery, so curious as to whether there are more power benefits. I can see that there would be certain apps that can be added but I like all the standard camera, video, bluetooth type issues to be stable and working, is that asking too much?

SmartActions only works on 4.1.2 stock based ROMs as it requires blur framework. You can try any stock based custom ROM.
For other ROMs, you can use Tasker.It has similar functions as SmartActions

So just to confirm, are ROMs that are 4.2.2 for example still ok? And are the ROMs like Avatar or others ok too? thanks for the response

I agree, I've rooted and de-bloated, installed my launcher of choice and can't be any happier but I did try many custom roms and there's always a trade off somewhere. having the og Droid Razr I need my battery life and wifi and carrier signal's to be strong. Just couldn't find a custom rom to do that for me. But I did live on the edge there for a bit and learned alot from other flashaholics here!
Avatar is good, but one thing I'm missing...

But the problem with Avatar-ROM is, that i cannot connect it to my computer via usb-cable. It does not react in any way when it's connected. So no filetransfer possible.

In my opinion artur0588's ROM's are very good. For example this one: Artmod V4.3.

That depends on how you define ok.!
On 4.2, almost all everyday usage stuff works fine. But some things like HDMI, HD recording doesn't work.
So if those features are crucial to you, you should stick with 4.1.
My advice, try it for yourself. See if it has what you need.

I have an Atrix and Defy both rooted and with custom Rom, very happy with the results, the rare freeze or reboot is annoying but I can live with it. so I have tried the custom route and will probably go with one, there are so many to choose from though all with slight differences. The performance upgrades for the Razr arent important as it doesnt need it [ I dont play games on it] so getting the basics working in a stable way is more important. thanks
I'm looking to buy either the S4 or the Moto X through Verizon. My droid incredible 2 has been running custom ROMs for two years now, and I have grown used to the "stock" android experience. Would it be possible to run kit kat on the s4 via a custom rom? Could someone comment on the overall state of development for the S4 that is on Verizon?

Thanks for the reply. So, I shouldn't go with the S4 if I ever want to run Cyanogenmod?

If you can get your hands on one that still has MDK, then you'll be all set. Otherwise, if Cyanogenmod is that important to you, you should stay away from the S4.
Or get developer edition and run just about anything out there. Saves a bunch of headaches.

crushing my hopes?still really like hyperdrive 12. it is my daily rom. wife is still stock on her s4.
My husband's HTC One has been acting up.. no wifi... powers on when it feels like it... and yesterday, he cracked his screen. So it's time to revive the old Droid RAZR until he's eligible for an upgrade.
So I'd like to get recommendations on which ROM is the most stable/reliable at the moment. My husband doesn't need anything fancy.. he's not big on technology/rooting... good battery life is important.
It's currently rooted with 4.1.2. If I use a 4.4 rom, can I upgrade directly to 4.4 if I do a clean install?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

So after browsing around... I see that I need Safestrap installed.
I installed v 3.73 and installed Recovery. Just waiting on feedback now.

Yes. Install CM11 (or whatever ROM you like) into slot 1 and enjoy. You'll still have the original ROM in the stock slot if you want to switch back so it is pretty risk free!
I'll just throw in my two cents and say the SlimKat build 6 is a very good ROM. The only issue I've found is it won't send MMS. I just switch back to stock ROM to do that. A little bit of a hassle, but the benefits of the ROM far out weigh the inconvenience. Hope this helps!
EDIT: MMS works, I just had configured it incorrectly.
ROM recommendations
If you are looking for KitKat ROM's that are stable and normally run smoothly without major issues, my recommendations are Paranoid Android and CM11. CM11 has more options and gets more frequent updates but Paranoid Android is pretty streamlined and smooth and the current versions look and feel more like a straight stock Android system . If you are looking for a lot of options and things to tweak then PacMan ROM is nice.
As for battery life Paranoid Android may be a little better. Of course using a dark theme like thyrus dark ui, keeping screen brightness low and going into the advanced WiFi settings along with a few other things will really improve battery life.

I knew it was Paranoid Android, but i didn't understand what the "L" was at the end.
i had the AxxionKat, LS, mooke and the resurrection remix and, in my opinion, the best was the resurrection remix, but the v5.1 . DumbleCore, what is the most recommended Cm11's nightly at the moment?
Edit: the axxionkat v 1.5 is very very fast
