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.
Hello people,
A big fan of the sailfish os here.. I look at the reviews amd just crave to hav that lil beauty for my device.. I tried porting it using the Hardware Adaptation Guide, but messed up, (I'm still learing)..
Would any dev be interested in porting it for our device?
Throw me a guide and source link I would give a shot to it

Thanks a tonne! Would love to have someone as experienced at the helm..!

Check out the Hardware Adaptation pdf, it might help quite a lot..
Still dream of new ROMs ported to our device, MIUI and FIUI stable would be perfect... The devs are thinking of AOSP ROMs already has many, have great new serious options
So, @zeeshanhussain12.. You are up for it right? #noeta! Just wanna know if we're gonna see that beauty in the coming time...
Hi guys and gals, was just wondering if our beloved Moto E 2nd Gen Surnia and Otus will see Android N 7.0, feel free to leave your comments in this thread, sorry if this is the wrong section, tried to pick the most suitable one, mods feel free to move to the proper section and send me a message so I know where to find it, thanks
<<PimpMy5Ton>>
I know we won't see official Stock Android N 7.0 but I'm wondering about a custom rom hopefully
It's a very unlocked device (with the exception of ATT and VZW models) with a very good spec to Price ratio and an active and skilled dev community. I'd say the odds are good.

I would have to agree. Being a Moto G 2nd gen user myself, and an Ontario Can. resident, I was quite surprised to see an actual official update to 6.0.1 [Wind Mobile] commencing just a few days ago, see my thread. It went from 5.0.2 when released a yr ago, and then an entire year of uncertainty and disappointment with Motorola [see thread: Motorola's failure to meet promises/updates] Then, 2 days ago, @ 1pm --> 6.01.!! With respect to the devs and community in general, I am more than impressed! Considering the phone is less than a hundred bucks, no matter where you are in the world, the amount that has been done and can be done is quite impressive! Mad love and respect to the community!!!

Yes. Official. 6.0.1 ... XT1527.
Anyone know what I need to do next? I d/l'd it, but did not install yet.

Am surprised and pleased at the same time too see a discussion thread already on Android N for this device. Having just started using the stable Cyanogenmod release I would be glad to see N someday down the line on the device.
The device is still an extremely good buy for the budget users, especially in the emerging markets. I see myself using the device as my daily driver for a year and a half down the line. The new lease of life that M has given it, I don't see a reason to switch to another device at this particular point in time. Plus, phones of this particular dimension are slowly disappearing off the market, which is not the best of developments, so, since someone like me only uses the device for communication, browsing, light social media, some pictures. Considering how media consumption on phones never really made sense to me, bigger devices never have either.
Well, we'll have to wait for CyanogenMod 14.

Actually RR is based on cm,so I doubt if RR team will start working on N without a cm release for surnia and otus,cause they need that cm base anyway.

RR being based on CM makes no difference to me, it's better than CM itself, so when people tell me that BS that's what I tell them, to me CM itself is garbage

Lol don't matter if you think cm is garbage. You failing to realize is that cm makes RR, and the majority of ROMs relies on a fully working cm.....bugs on cm, those same bugs on RR....

What's the hurry with everyone getting impatient with wanting to know when CM14 will be releasted???
I'm lead to believe that we won't see any port of CM14 until N goes official, probably on September.
I can see a partial working port for surnia by end of the year.
I want to elaborate I'm no expert and i base my comments on what I've read here on XDA and other android sites.
Moto e second gen WILL NOT get an official port of N, full stop.
I'm hoping some of our esteemed developers may lend a word on their thoughts about this.
I started a thread asking this question as I couldn't find this one, and im glad I've found it and already we have a great discussion going.
As a side point, I still own and use a first gen moto e as my work phone, its running CM13 and people are also asking if that device will see CM14, nice to see the interest not waning!

Its not BS its a well known fact that RR is cyanogenmod based.
Your assumption that CM is garbage is based on you using a cyanogenmod ROM with some very good extras........
I think that's quite ironic and a little amusing!
While you are perfectly entitled to your opinion, and I respect your opinion, let me tell you that I'm a big RR fan and a current user, up until a few days ago.
Ive been using RR with no major issues right up until 5.7 came out.
I had major issues with the new release, and I'm not using it anymore because of a sudden and complete loss of my data, music, photos and contacts.
I now also have a corrupted and unusable SD card, my contacts have disappeared off Google, off the phone and my sim now doesn't even work, the contacts having disappeared off there too, its been a complete disaster [emoji27]
Read the RR for surnia thread and you will see I'm not the only person who's had this problem.
Something has gone majorally wrong with the update, and unfortunately I've now moved away from RR and back to CM13, and yes, it could have happened whilst using CM13 but it hasn't.
While I love RR nothing else just works like CM13, and I've never had a sudden loss of all my data or any major problems.
You can disagree and laugh at me, but to loose personal, important and special things in the blink of an eye and then take almost three days to get my surnia working again is putting me off re flashing RR.
I'm sorry if my rather passionate post was off topic, as you all can probably tell I'm annoyed and hacked off I've lost everything off my SD, and I did not have a back up because I had only had the SD card less than two weeks!

Short answer...no you can't...
What is it that you're missing? Maybe there are alternatives

This is Verizon! (catch the reference?) Big Red does not countenance such actions.
I don't see the Moto Z Droid as a device on XDA. Would a Moto Z (normal, Force, or Play) work on the Moto Z Droid? I'm very confused and can't find anything. Information on this is hard to come by in my experience of the last hour.
Thank you!

Moto Z known as Moto Z Droid in USA.
If your phone model is XT1650-** Your phone is a Moto Z.
But Force and Play are different models and you can not flash those ROMs on Moto Z device.
