Hi, I had and Sony Xperia X10 and I used to change the ROM. Now I'll buy a new phone so I take a look at this forum. I don't see any forum for the Razr Maxx.
So my questions are :
Does the Razr Maxx support Razr ROM ? (they are similar, the difference seems to be the battery only)
Or is there a forum for the Maxx ?
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my bad english
They are the same phone except for the battery.
Both phones are indeed identical. The Maxx just has a larger battery capacity. HOWEVER - this does not necessarily mean ROMs are cleanly cross-compatible.
You will have to look at each individual ROM for the Razr. There may be indications or notes as to whether it has been flashed to a Maxx before; either from the OP or a poster in the thread. I know the majority of ROMs are labelled as being for the "Razr/Razr Maxx" but at the risk of bricking your nice new phone, you may want to check out other users experiences in the individual ROM threads before you go ahead and attempt it.
Thank you :good:

ADVICE : If you not aware whether certain ROM's labeled as RAZR are compitable with MAXX , use safestrap v3.05( if it the suggested method) , flash away without worrying on bricking . I suggest you start of with eclispe 1.5.1 using SafeStrap on one slot with your stock still secured. Cheere :good:

You should ask that (or at least bring up the matter) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301121.
Rom development is kicking off nicely for the Cliq 2. CM7 is ported nicely to the phone, and works perfectly fine. Probably better off then most other phones.
Why there isn't a section for it, I don't know. You already have to option to install Leaked Gingerbread or CM7. From what I've heard, MIUI is on it's way.
Hi Everyone,
I know may be you don't like my thread's name, It is my opinion and I want to know your opinion.
The reason why I'm asking this, simply because I rooted my Razr XT910 to ICS and I really regret. You will tell me , unroot, sure I can do. But I want to pass my experience and to everyone cannot wait to root his Razr.
Ok my reasons are as follows:
1- If you are not very careful you simply can lose your phone
2-After rooting from 2.3.6 on Razr XT910 to ICS 4.0.4 and after the tension because of my mistake and was going to lose my Razr, I found the ICS very basic not much to add to UI. Meaning no widgets like contacts favourites and many others so simply you have to keep installing apps either free or buying not like the original 2.3.6.
3- Not fast as expected
4- No enough support for the Razr XT910 very minimal. Everything is for Droid Razr XT912. I did a mistake by installing a rom for Droid Razr and it blocked my phone and I had to use RSD to install SBF.
5- Themes are very poor
Again guys this is a personal opinion, just wanted to share it with you and to think twice before rooting you Razr XT910
My ROM is Razr-AOKP-GSM-J.Y.Daddy
BTW, I tried Eternity project for Razr XT910 and I got Installation aborted message and again no help in its thread how to overcome the issue
There is more to rooting a phone then just install roms.
Some programs need root to give all the benefits they have, like Rootbrowser, System tuner Pro and SetCPU.
With a rooted phone I can set my cpu level during day, work hours and night.
I can freeze and unfreeze bloatware, make backups and optimize my phone as I like to with or without a rom.
That's why I got it rooted.

First of all, thanks for your help earlier you saved my phone from crashing.
Second, I thought the development section is the proper one to discuss rooting matter. Or what do you think?
In addition, how many stable roms are out there for XT910 same like yours. Please mention some.
Thanks

No, that belongs in the General section. If you want to discuss a rooting that you did in the Development section, then you would comment on the thread where you received your information for the ROM you chose to place on your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344531
....Wow, just wow. *palm to forehead*
@flupo: You have a rogers razr, I'm guessing, which is why you can't get the leak. Give it time, you'll get real ics. Really can't believe you felt the need to make a thread about this lol.
I have the Rogers Razr as well and I'm running J Daddy's custom CM9. Works very well as a daily driver. I don't have a need for bluetooth and I can live without the video recording function. All users understand that these builds are in development and do not provide all the functions flawlessly. So your only options are to wait for an official build from Motorola or hope that somehow a bootloader bypass/unlock comes around that will allow us to use the kernel+radio from the Chinese/European ICS and have a ROM that is more streamlined than the current development builds.
Rooting is not the same as installing a ROM. Updating from GB to ICS is installing a new ROM which has absolutely nothing to do with "Root" in most situations.
Root is the Linux way of saying Admin Account. With "root" access to a phone, you literally have permission to do anything you want, install anything you want, remove anything you want, and run anything even if it requires permissions that are normally rejected on a unrooted phone.
Apps that require root that I use on a regular basis: TitaniumBackup, AdFree, Terminal Emulator, WiFi Tether, and ES File Explorer. There are many others. None of these have anything to do with installing ICS or not.
Your thread title is misleading and it is in the wrong forum. Developers create threads in the Development section, only. You can reply to one of their threads if appropriate, but to create a new discussion on something it should be in General.
You should read through a lot more threads, ask questions in the general section, and generally understand a lot more before you start trying to modify your phone like this. That should be the warning you tell people. People shouldn't just jump in and start modifying their phone's OS until they know what OS, Root, ROM, and a bunch of other terms mean and what they do.

Read carefully and thoroughly and you won't have a problem. Rush in and flash the first file you find and you'll quickly end up with a brick. Getting the most out of any device requires an investment time-wise, and if you're not prepared to make that investment you shouldn't be flashing anything.

Thanks for sharing
Obviously from most of your comments, I did a mistake by making such a question in this section. Sorry about that but I thought it is the right one where people read about rooting.
Second, These are my previous smartphone list which I did rooting for all of them and it went fine with no crashes:
HTC Tytn 2
Sony Ericson Experia
HTC Touch Pro
HTC Diamond 1 and 2
HTC HD
HTC HD2
HTC Desire
So may be from the above you can see guys that I have some experience in rooting and I read a lot about it.
The reason for my thread was to raise the issue that there is no enough support for the great Razr especially XT910. As per Motorola support team whom I discussed with, the upgrade from GB to ICS is in the planing phase and might take about another 3-4 months.
Any how I tried to do that to see if I can solve the issue for having ICS on XT910 or not before selling it and go back to HTC with HTC One X.
Last, it will be great to have a professional forum that has talented people respect each other not like the respectable person whom said "ohh Canadians Canadians"
Everyone of those phones you listed are HTC devices including the Sony Ericson.
That's probably why you stuffed up because this is not a HTC device. Not to mention the majority are native windows mobile phones..

I am new to this and still trying to wrap my head around all the terms and process' but all in all I am confident in what I'm about to do. But! I wanted to ask a few questions first.
I have a Milestone X2 (already rooted) and a regional carrier (Carolina West Wireless) I want to make a Nandroid backup before messing with ROMS.
I am using ROM Manager and when I am trying to install some required components it asks me to confirm my phone model. The Milestone X2 is not listed, and I want to see if anyone thinks it would be safe to click Droid X2 or should I use another method of backup.
If anyone knows of any good tutorials that aren't too in-depth or similar situations please let me know.
Would this be a good guide?
Thanks in advance!

Do not use ROM manager, it is not compatible with your phone
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app
I own a Droid X2 and all I know is that it is not the same as the Milestone X2. You can't use the same ROMs and mods for both. So whatever you use, make sure it is for your Milestone X2. Stick around here though for questions and tutorials. There are quite a few people in here that use the Milestone X2 and will help you out when they see your post. The link you posted looks like a process to use someone elses nandroid. I think anyway. The files in there look like the ones you would need to at least get started though. And It's been said but I will say it again. Dont use Rom Manager. Its more for unlocked phones. Any mods or ROMs you want on your phone, download them from here. Not Rom Manager.
I appreciate the response guys. I will not use any Droid X2 ROMs and will continue my search.
Damn regional carriers cant get a decent phone, if it wasn't so cheap.
Are there any ROMs that allow everything to work (wifi, 3g, camera) that are compatible with the Mx2? (Don't need anyone to go on a in depth search just seeing if its out there)

Yes, they are all in this forum. Just look in the development section. After our Droid X2 dev creates a ROM, someone with a Milestone X2 usually makes it for theirs. I think the Milestone has its own SBF file. But the Bootstrap recoveries are all the same I think. Again, dont rely only on what I say since I dont know much about the Milestone X2. But once you get a recovery working for you, you do a nandroid backup with that. I dont know if your new to Android or just this phone but you cannot uses just any file for your phone. It has to be made specifically for the milestone X2. Thats why I say stick to this forum and this forum alone because everything you need is in here. Just got to do a little searching and a lot of reading. Once you get confortable with everything, things will be really easy from then on.

The milestone has one sbf meant for ntelos so be careful. you can get other carriers to work with it if your lucky. as for the recoveries you use the exact same ones the dx2 users use. as for everything else search the development section for everything theyll be labled mx2 if they work with the mx2

Hi there,
I just got a XT910 and this forum seems to be covering only for the brand new version on it, and could not find a forum here about my device so I kinda feel canned as this website have been very useful for me for my HTC a while ago
All I want to do is to be able to back up my GB as I really like this version of it, its indeed really neat. I'm keen to install ICS but only if I can make it to work out a dual boot situation at some point as BMM wont install (see my other thread).
So yeah if anyone can help either way by giving me an address for a friendly XT910 forum or some article that could help me acheve what I want to do that would be ace!!
Thanks in advance.
VonZ

This is a xt910 forum.
We have the xt912 as well because it is basically the same phone... Just different battery. All the roms you see here also work on your phone.
Now on to your question.
GB and ICS multiboot is NOT possible. Once you are on ics you can't go back to GB. It's due to our locked bootloader.
That being said: ics and now jellybean are much better than GB. I really would advise you to upgrade but that's just my opinion.
Welcome to the forum. Thread moved, please make sure you post all questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks
AvRS
Thanks fellows and sorry about the mispost,
So dual if dual boot is only possible between JB and ICS what is the point having a dual boot
I have seen many videos showing Android 4.x.x, had it installed on my HTC a few times and always curled back to 2.x.x mainly because of the graphic interface that I personally find horrid. The Motorola graphic designers really did a good job on this GB and it's quiet fast too.
If you have anything that would make me change my mind toward the new Android, feel free to let me know..
Saying that, if I choose to keep my original OS but would like to be able to perform backups, I'm not sure how to achieve this as Clockwork Recovery does not seem to be working straight away.
Any help welcome>>

Hi, I have this questions and I don't know where to post it so this will be my first stop.
Background: I have an XT910 (umts_spyder) with CyanogenMod 11 M4 installed as the only ROM and the JBX Kernel 3.0 Hybrid Spyder.
The problem is that I couldn't pair my PS3 controller to it via bluetooth (After some experiments with other controllers and another tablet, I'm sure the problem is the phone) so I tried to connect it via OTG but the Sixaxis App didn't recognize it either. Then I tried to connect a wireless mouse and a USB Flash drive but the phone also didn't recognized'em.
So the questions are: Do you know if the ROM/Kernel might have problems to connect via bluetooth??
Do you know if the "stock" kernel is capable of OTG?
Do you think that the kernel that I'm actually using is capable of it?
Or it's just that I need extra power supply to every device I connect to it?
Any help you can provide will be very appreciated man.
P.D.: I attached the results of the USB Host Diagnostics App from "Chainfire"
From what I understand and have heard from other people its a incompatible issue with the sixaxis app and kit Kat android.
DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
Its not about what your running. It's any build after 4.3 that won't work. Developer needs to update the app.
DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
Oh, I see.. Thank you man. Any thoughts about the OTG thing?? (I think you were expecting deeper kinda questions but that's all I got, sorry).
I'm not entirely sure as I have never used OTG however I same across this:
http://m.cnet.com/news/how-to-tell-...r-tablet-supports-usb-on-the-go/57618386?ds=1
From what I understand if you install that it will tell you whether the current setup will work. You can install on stock and cm and run and report your results. I hope this helps.
All questions are welcome!!!
DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
That app gives less details than Chainfire's but the same results.. BUT I'm sure that the XT910 supports OTG because of threads here on XDA and YouTube videos demonstrating it. in that threads it is mentioned that the current kernel only supports hubs with external power supply (over a year ago).
But, for example a guy at the "JBX Kernel 3.0 Hybrid Spyder" thread was "hoping" for OTG (I believe it was right after the 1080P feature came back but I'm not sure, I've read so many threads and posts..) and that comment made me point my finger at the kernel. But then again CM logs don't mention it either so yeah..
Also the Sixaxis claims Android 4.4 KitKat support.. (just checked).
Of course I'll report if I ever find a way/config to do it, but I think that I'm the only one with this kind of issue.. Thanks anyways!!
