Hi,
I just got a Razr I 2nd hand. I live in Ireland and believe I'm on the EU/GB version. I'm looking for the most stable ROM as I use my phone for business and need it to be 100% reliable (no bugs if possible!) and have great battery and everything else working. I'm not a techie or dev so have no interest in installing a ROM just to test it out, I need to just be sure the ROM I choose will be reliable and wouldn't plan on ever changing it again unless there's some VAST improvements in future Android versions.
So what I'm looking for is:
Most stable ROM with no bugs and 100% reliable
Latest Android (JB?)
Phone needs to be ROOTED
I would also like to be able to remove bloat ware before installing the ROM so if there was any way I could go into the system app folder of the SD card before flashing the ROM to remove any bloatware it would be great, otherwise, I'd just use ROOT EXPLORER so not vitally important for the pre-flash removal.
Ideally I'd like to stay with stock ROM as I'd just feel more at ease using stock, so if I could somehow get exact files of 4.12 stock, clear a bit of bloatware, flash it and have a stable, rooted phone that would be perfect. I don't see any untouched stock roms of 4.12 available however, there is one "optimised" one but it seems to have a few bugs so I wouldn't be comfortable with this. Also, although I've used some technical terms above, I've absolutely no idea even how to root a phone, I use a guy from The Android Clinic to do all the difficult stuff for me like rooting
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

First, this is the wrong section to ask for it, this section its only for development, there is a section called "Questions and answers" for that.
If you want a 100% without bug rom, just use a homemade fastboot of Jb, the come pre-rooted and debloated yourself, its stock so no bugs

Thanks for the reply. Ooops, didn't know it was in the wrong section, hopefully it won't be an issue.
Thanks for the suggestions, have you any idea where I could find a homemade fastboot of JB? Is that a ROM you're referring to or something else? Is it completely compatible with Razr I do you think?
Until now... as you know (i hope) humans have not yet created a rom 100% bug free, because they are HUMANS, and fail.
Every rom has bugs... including the stock ones..

Haha, yes of course I can live with a few minor bugs, I guess I'd just feel safer using stock as I'm a novice with these things
Do you know is there a rooted JB ROM for Razr I that I can just download and flash through recovery? That's about all I know how to do tech wise, for rooting and all that, I need to employ the services of an expert
So I PM'd Marco who pointed me to here for what I'm after: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936512

Sir it is an issue...Please read the Forum Rules on posting, Thread Closed & Thank You.
Sorry, I'm sure this will have been posted before, but I used the search function and couldn't narrow the results to what I was looking for.
I have a UK EE spec S3 LTE (Kernel - 3.0.31-1153417, Build - JZO54K-I9305XXBMF1). I have seen MSkip's excellent S3 Unified Toolkit and I am close to getting the courage to root my device, ready to put a different firmware on it to get rid of all the crap that Samsung "think" I want.
I have a couple of questions first though:
1. Can someone recommend a ROM that is the closest to stock Android (JB of course) as I love the feel of the Nexus devices. Unless 'proper' stock Android is an option.
2. Does anyone know is installing a custom ROM will affect how my 4G data reception/operation.
3. How likely am I to make a total arse of it and brick my phone?
I'm sure I'll get a few "wrong thread". "Q&A"."Theres the door dimwit" responses, but I'm big enough and ugly enough, with a heavy duty flamesuit so I can take the insults!! I'm sure someone can help :fingers-crossed:

Well, bricking your phone is nearly impossible, just do whatever the instructions says and you'll be fine.
And the 4G reception won't be affected, since the only thing affecting data is modems, and AOSP ROM got no modems.
And as of question number 1, there's a ROM called SuperNexus, it's exactly like a Nexus 4. But it's rarely updated and sources from CM might be a bit old. I suggest using CM or Carbon since they're being frequently updated.
I hope I answered all of your questions!
Cheers,
Sebastian!

Thanks Sebastian! Not heard of Carbon, i'll have to Google that one. When it comes to CM, would you recommend going nightlies or a more stable version? I've heard Paranoid Android is decent too, any opinions on that one?

Dunno really about Paranoid Android, I don't use it but I find it pretty OK. And if I recall it correctly, there isn't a Stable version of CM for 9305.

He's right there isn't a "stable" version but i personally can't live without using CM on my S3 i can highly recommend it, especially the ease of one touch button theme's

Cheers, what do you use; nightlies? How often do you have to flash a new one? Are they as full of bugs as I imagine them to be?
This might sound like a stupid question, when you flash a new ROM, so you lose all your things like email settings, apps and stuff. Does the Google Play app come with a new ROM or do you have to get that as an APK from somewhere and manually install it?

CM is updated every night, hence calling them "nightlies".
CM is very stable, and I often flashed a new nightly every morning.
And question about google apps; you download a different zip file, this file contains all the Google apps.
So you first flash CM then the zip file with google apps.

It's been asked for before in other places but I figure I should ask here. If it's the wrong place please move this. I would like the Cellbroadcast Service to be able to be installed on a ROM. They have it for Nexus here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164711 and someone tried to do it for Atrix 4G and seems like it failed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946265 I'd really like this without having to use Kyler's Froyo.

I've Tried Nottactrix (I know I mispelled), MROM, CM 10.1, NOWBLAST, CM9, as well as almost all others. I've tried flashing the Cellbroadcast.apk and even dis-assembled the froyo rom that has it as an option but neither work. Point of interest, Kyler's Froyo Rom lacks the Cellbroadcastreceiver.apk so I don't know what I'd have to rip for it to work/

I use Nottach as my perma install. It's what I prefer, but I would like to have the Cellbroadcast option installed. I visit some areas where I need to know about tornados, shootings, hurricanes and the like. Plus it would be nice to have just in case.

ok, so with that said, you are looking for a CellBroadcastReciever.apk that is designed for GB (2.3-2.3.7), not for Froyo, ICS, JB, or KK (even if KK isn't available for our device just yet)

Yes one that works on the Atrix 4G because the Nexus ones are for a GB device if I am reading correctly. I've tried just flashing those (Stupid I know) and no result. I've tried swip-swapping some stuff around and Iv'e come to the conclusion I cannot do this myself with just the froyo rom, the apks and nottach to mess with.
Both of those versions (this one and this one) work on JB and above only (one is for 4.1, the other is for 4.2).
As you noticed yourself, Kyler's stock Froyo does not contain it, and I was unable to find a version that works on Froyo. Where did you find one for Froyo?

One of his links takes you to a thread with a few posts. The last post has a download link.
I get that we have a froyo version based off of his searching, and that we do have JB versions based off of experience with epinter's ROMs. I don't know about GB or ICS versions, but he's definitely looking for the GB version.

It was in Kyler's Froyo settings, The APK is not there but the item is in the settings and fully customizable.
Well I'm trying out CM 10.2 right now but having a flashable version could work well if I switch back.
I examined Kyler's Froyo. Sadly it seems this functionality has been hardcoded into Settings.apk and BlurPhone.apk.
Ahhh, it seemed like that when I tore it apart.
I just examined the latest AT&T firmware (2.3.6) and I found the same thing therein. That means the same functionality should exist in the latest official GB as well?
I can't test this myself, I'm running a custom ROM and I don't really want to reflash now, plus to my knowledge none of the networks here offer cell broadcast.
I know florida has it, Due to ya know, all the high emergency weather and dangerous child kidnappers
Hi there folks!!
This phone dropped on my hands today from a friend of mine you is a excluded in this matters of customizing droid's...
So what I need to know it's the stuff that i should use to root it, like recovery and such, and the best overall rom to put in the phone. IF there is kitkat stable even better... If not Jelly Bean it is.
I'm not an expert, but i workaround pretty well, but i dropped on this forum today, and with so much stuff i don't know where need to look, and don't have the time to read it all.
So please, have some kind of goodness on me.

If none of the current data ia needed, then a nice clean full format to the New bootloader would be a good choice.
Use the AIO tool in the Developers section to format the phone to default new bootloader. you can follow the choices to install recovery, and download your choice of Rom.
The most stable and fully featured out of the newer roms are only the CM 10.1 roms. anything made later have camera and bluetooth issues.
Pengus has his own, Look ma no hands. its an excellent rom. along with his M1 kernel. its the latest you'll get to fully stable.
If you'd like more features, Tonyp made a T-build version 5 currently. use the same kernel from pengus again M1. and give that a go if you like customizing a bit more.
there are later roms. and they are all great, but they are still in development, with many bugs still to really work out.
you can also go Stock and try out the few very well made custom stock roms i believe there are 3 different dev's that have done work on ICS and did an excellent job of it.
Or you can stay on the old boot loader, and stick with GB if you really want to stretch out the battery life, and have every feature working.
the first few pages of the dev section would have everything I've just mentioned. but you could also use the Search for anything your having trouble with.
PM me also if you need more detailed assistance.

Ok, so the international model. So if you want stock Android 6.x, my personal recommendations are Android Ice Cold Project (AICP), it's very feature rich while being as close to stock as possible and it has nightly updates. It also has really great performance and battery life, I haven't had any lag and get at least a day out of my battery. There's also Cyanogenmod 13 although it hasn't been updated for a month or so to my knowledge. And lastly another good one is crDroid. I personally recommend AICP because of the almost daily updates, and features, I have it installed on both my M7 and Nexus 4. I haven't had any issues and if there is an issue it's normally fixed the following update.

Android Lollipop with the Google Play Editions are pretty much what you'd get on the stock Nexus experience. A lot of Google apps, and pure stock Lollipop without any modifications. Some do have some modifications to them, and some don't.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 is really the only Lollipop ROM that I have used other than the Sense 7 roms, they have almost nightly updates for their Lollipop builds. Google Play Edition+ is another great one for 5.x, you can pick between stock Play Edition and the developer's custom build packed with features.

If your primary rom is Sense-based then simply download this kernel, ElementalX, and flash it to your main rom. It has some pretty good features too that you can pick from during the installation. There also is a GPE build for Play Edition roms as well. Reboot into the rom just to make sure everything flashed smoothly, and then reboot and you can then boot into your different roms in multi boot. Just make sure that if you change your main rom in Multiboot that it has to have this kernel, I haven't found any other one that supports it. There also aren't any Marshmallow kernels just yet either, sadly.

Hmm. I'm currently busy until around 10-11pm EST, whenever I get done and back home I will take a look around to see if there might be anything. If it's Marshmallow based though there isn't any custom kernels yet. Wouldn't hurt to make like a GPE or Sense rom your primary one and simply leave it there, I do that. I use MIUI 7 as my daily driver but I have InsertCoin Sense 7 installed for my main rom so I can have 2-3 other roms installed. Just some advice if that helps

I think, what would work best for you since you prefer stock-based roms, is download the Google Play Edition+ I linked earlier in the thread, install it as a secondary rom and also flash the ElementalX kernel under Flash Zip. Afterwards go under Advanced, Multirom, Swap Rom, and leave it as Swap primary and pick the GPE+ and let it run it's course. Might take 5-10 minutes so I'd leave it plugged in and charging if you are below 50-60% battery. Then just boot into GPE+, do a quick setup and leave it as a basic installation. That way you can keep your Carbon Rom installation with all of the data and apps, and just pick that every time you boot your phone. Plus it's easier than messing around with different kernels on Carbon trying to find one to make it work and you have a fallback stock rom in case an update or something messes up Carbon. That's exactly what I did with MIUI and InsertCoin.

Yeah, that happens sometimes with mine. Not all the time though, mainly when I'm streaming music in Spotify or Pandora, or if I've been on it for 10-15 minutes on Twitter, email, etc. Sometimes when installing a rom and first booting it, it gets upwards of 50C but cools down after I let it sit for a little while. Also, just throwing it out there because I love the app, if you have $7 you're willing to spend MyBackup Pro is fantastic for backing up everything if you change the rom you use the most. Like data, apps with the app data (not every app backs up the data though) and just like everything else. There's also a free one if you don't care about app data which I'd actually recommend trying that out first. Spares a hell of a lot of time for downloading apps every time. I promise I am no way affiliated with them, like I really feel bad "advertising" them even though I'm not. It's just my favorite backup app xD. Titanium backup is another good one but I haven't used it's backup stuff. Mods you can feel free to edit this if you don't see it fit.
