Hi everyone ,
I'm running ICS on my RAZR Maxx and wanted to consult with all of the knowledgeable people here on xda about whether or not I should flash CM10 Jelly Bean on it or if I should just stick to the stock ICS.
I am running Jelly Bean on my nexus 7 and its so smooth and quick that I really want the same experience on the Razr but I am worried it won't be as smooth if I dont wait for an official update.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Cm10 is still a bit buggy but ics based roms are amazing.

Well I went ahead and used safestrap which is amazing. Its not like it used to be where I have to wipe the device first but they have different slots allocated to different roms so I can go back to stock if I want easily plus have 3 more roms to choose from
I went with cm10 which is a bit buggy but still works pretty good so now I'm on cm10 jelly bean on razr maxx woooo hoooo

Many flashing directions say to wipe device. Does safe strap leave a clean place to install the ROM without wiping? If I go back to stock, will all my data and apps be intact?

if u have gsm then stay with stock until cm10 is stable enough for daily usage
The new safestrap allows you to allocate 3 slots to different roms so if you want tp.flash cm10 and 2 other roms you dont have to wipe your device. Its really cool

Yes wipe device after creating and selecting the new ROM slot. You just don't need to wipe when switching between slots 1 and 2 after each one is set up.

I don`t like do wait for operator official ROM so I`m using AOKP ROM. I recommend that.
I didn't wipe the device at all.
You can create the new ROM slot and select it without the need to wipe anything

If you're on GSM, I'd say stick to your Stock Based ROM and work on modifications yourself wih init.d, build.prop, app debloating, etc.
If you're on CDMA, you can try to go with Jelly Bean based ROMs though they're still kinda buggy.
I quit JB ROMs on my GSM due to Mobile Data Problems and System Deep Sleep
Yes, I've studied xda for three weeks on the Droid Razr, and I still don't know how to flash a ROM on this thing. Information is scattered, disorganized, and much of it is old.
Let me tell you, figuring this out is a Holy Terror, unlike my old Nexus One. And as a bonus, almost no one will answer any of your questions!
Good luck man, you'll need it. Most ppl give up.

Well its pretty simple actually once you spend time and do the research
First you download safestrap from here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/downloads/
Then you follow the safestrap installation instructions here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
then you download CM10 Jelly bean here:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/cm10
Get the latest version and save it to your device (Its a zip file)
I just saved it to a dropbox directory and then exported it to the phone but you can do it however you want.
Then you can watch this youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0i-KZ3dJL0&feature=related
Im sure there are others but he uses safestrap v3 so its easy.
And voila you have a buggy CM10 but its jelly bean
I've been running on Jelly bean roms for a while, love using Google now but really dislike the fact that theres no HD recording and various other camera bugs, as i always use my camera.
So is there any way to have this feature on a ICS rom? e.g. MIUI, and others?
Thanks
The droid razr hd rom has it and is ics based I've been using it as my daily driver for a month now it's smooth and stable

Hello
I have been away from the Android Motorola Razr Sceene for 6 months. I sold my Razr and bought myself a Windows Phone. But now im back, end of story.
What is happening?
Im located in Norway and have the GSM version of the Razr, is Jelly Bean out for me yet? Is it worth the upgrade?
Before i left
I used the EPRJ_EasyRootICS_MultiOS_v1.5 to Root my ICS Razr.
I used Safestrap-ICS-3.05
And I switched between Simplex OS and Eclipse OS, super debloated with my own recipe
I used BW_CM9_GSM-PATCH-dtrail to use these CDMA roms.
And now im sitting here with a brand new Motorola Razr Maxx and do not know what to do?
Is it worth the upgrade if I where happy about these rom's and all the themes and customizing I could do?
Should I upgrade to Jelly Bean or stay with my old recipe?
I was very very happy about battery and quickness of these rom's I used, but I need some input if someone could be so helpfull
edit: also wondering if I can root my phone with the Jelly Bean rom installed.
Thank You
I've been using AOKP R7 with the updated kernel pack V1.2 and have found that kexeced rom to be extremely smooth. GPS, bluetooth, camera, camera flash, video and wifi work. Wifi tethering worked with R6 but for some reason doesn't work for me on R7. I'm trying to track the problem down.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
If i were you I'd stay on ics for now, the only reason being is a number if people who have upgraded to jb lost root. At this point in time there is NO root method for xt910 jb en.eu
Only a matter of time until a exploit is found but until then it may not be worth the risk?
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
I'm using SS3.11 to run the AOKP rom. My stock rom is the official Optus Motorola ICS one. That has been rooted. The new AOKP 4.2.2 based rom is also rooted.
Sent from my GSM XT910 running AOKP V7 using Xda Premium
Thnx!
Thanks for fast answer guys, after Googleing and reading trough forums both here and others I have decided to stay with my old recipe. It was working flawless with not big bugs and fast as no other!
Im not into the whole experiment on everything again, so I will just wait for Jelly Bean to be more mature
Thank you again.

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)?

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

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
