Hi,
I have 2 year old Razr-M on Verizon. It's been a faithful phone for a long time.
Ages ago, I rooted the phone, installed Clockwork, and Cyanogen. Not thrilled with Cyanogen's performance, I switched to OSE back in November.
At some point in my experimenting, I flashed a new radio to the phone, but don't remember which.
The phone has been reasonably stable, but still hangs/crashes once or twice a week.
Now, I'd like to clean things up.
Get the best radio that allows for international bands, GSM and, GPS
Install a STABLE ROM
Update/Install latest most stable bootloader
With so many packages and options here, I don't really know where to start. (OSE, Pacman, ???)
Can anyone suggest a clear, stable setup for both radio and ROM?
(Note: I travel internationally *A Lot*, so need to make sure all the different bands stay enabled.)
Thanks!!
Should add that I don't care about pretty graphics or extra features. Just want solid, stable, functional.
Well the most stable is going to be stock/stock based roms. Maybe try out rage m on the jb bootloader or root stock kk and start removing bloat

Cool,
And what about the radio? Any suggestions?
I don't think there's much options for radio. Ics/jb radios work on JB bootloader roms kk bootloader roms are limited to only the kk radio

Has Anyone Successfully Flashed A Cooked Rom On AT&T N1?
My att n1 should be deliverd tomorrow, and I was wondering if the tmo rooting process has worked for anyone with the att version. I know with previos phones the rom and radio had no bearing as long as it was GSM however I noticed that the att version does not support the tmo bands and vise versa so should the radio update be skiped? or does it work ok?
if u look around and read... u'll find the answer...
FYI, yes... most of the cooked ROMs work fine with the ATT N1.. CM 5.0.4.1, MCR 1.9+, Enomther 1.7.1, Modaco Desire A15+.
The difference between the T-Mo N1 & the ATT N1 is the radio... the EPE54B firmware has the firmware module for both radios and has an updated RIL (Radio Interface Layer) library. CM does not touch the RIL library, so what's in the stock remains. Enomther's & Modaco's ROMs already have the latest RIL libraries because the firmware was leaked before the ATT N1 was released...
I'm using MoDaCo 2.0. Works great. Unlocked bootloader, flashed Amon's 1.6.2 recovery, then flashed the ROM. It's not rooted, however. I thought that was only necessary to use WiFi tethering, etc.? I tried the "SuperBoot", but it put everything in a FC loop. I had to wipe & reflash to get it working again.
thanks guys, I have seen that the roms were working for att, however did not see any information on a difference in the rom prep, and wanted to be sure, because I intend to hack this phone before even making a call with it, and did want it to be an all night process. thanks again

Great... go ahead and have fun with cooked ROMs... the only difference between the two devices is what I explained in my earlier post... so cooking is the same...
Ready to ROM but first a few questions please.
I think I know what I am doing had a N1 before some @[email protected] walked off with it.
I am rooted, thanks to XDA
I am going to use Titanium backup to back up my Apps
Use ROM Manager to back up my current OEM Rom the flash new ROMs
Coming from N1 I ran nothing but Cyanogenmod and I loved them they were clean and very stable. Looking in the ROM section I do not see Cyanogenmods?
I want a ROM that is really clean, fast and completely unbranded. I mean when it powers up I want no AT&T logo or Rogers log for the matter.
My current Rogers ROM has little bloatware but I get the feeling some of the ROMs here may have AT&T junk.
Any recommendations on a ROM that I would be happy with? Stable, clean and completely unbranded?
Clean Roms
Well, the original boot will have the white AT&T screen for just a moment on all ROMs that I've seen.
Other than that, ALL custom ROMs get rid of AT&T bloatware and unlock potential of your phone. Most work well with most phones.
A few additional steps you want to take before going further... know your make number (1008, 1009, 1010, etc). You need to know you can flash back to stock using Odin in some form, shape and/or fashion in the event it all goes to hell.
You need to know if you can boot into download mode using the button combinations included in the threads. If not, you need to be sure to get the right ODIN package that will enable you to do so. If you don't, if you get hung, you're really hung.
As far as recommending a ROM, I personally prefer AdamHolden's ROM's. I think he does good work. He is currently working on the PHOENIX ROM.

DesignGears also does very stable ROMs (Cognition and Perception). My first ROM I ever flashed was his cognition ROM, and it clued me into the true potential of the phone and of custom ROMs.

Almost all the ROMS out there are really clean..
I would personally recommend phoenix, perception or darkyy's ROM for the best performance and look n feel..
At the moment, my nexus is running Cyanogenmod, although I am thinking about changing to a ICS rom, but I was thinking that they would have a lot of problems and not able for daily use, but after looking around, that has completely changed, now, here are some questions
Does ICS work faster than other type of roms like CM for example?
Using blackrose: Am I still safe to use this program even though I have a locked bootloader?

you can install wid locked bootloader. but you might loose recovery. so u might need to fastboot recovery
ICS for N1 is still in final stages of development(issues wid video recording & playback). it might not be as perfect as GB roms. but it will be cool.
u can give a try. and if not satisfied revert back to ur current rom

I was running BCM ICS CM9 for a while but found it to be a bit slow in comparison to GB roms. I ended up switching back to CM 7.2 once it reached a stable release since it has superior performance in my experience. The ICS development is coming along fantastically though and I expect to be switch back in the future; probably after a stable release is dropped. If performace is your highest concern I would recommend waiting, if you just want some ICS goodness then by all means you should switch.
In fairness, I'm using the original SD card that came with my N1. Considering all my apps were being run from the SD card, including system apps, it might not be a fair comparison. Perhaps upgrading the SD card would yield better results... I don't know.
I am running texasice ICS rom and even though there is some slight lag you can still run a fully functional (in my daily use) ICS rom. I guess it's a matter for you to try it and decide if you like it or not. If you backup your current rom switching from one to another is a matter of minutes.
I've been running Liberty 2.0 on my D3 for quite a while now. Starting to get jealous of everyone who's one or even two builds up on me.
I looked into what ROMs were available for the D3 for ICS, specifically because some of the custom apps I use are not compatible with JB yet. I found HashCode's CM9 build and his AOKP build (which could be the same thing, and I just don't understand.
I also posted once before where someone recommended Gummy for the Droid 3, but I could never nail down which version was the most up-to-date and was working the best. I learned that they stopped working on the Gummy ROM over the summer, but if they had a working build, I would love to try it out.
All I am looking for is the most complete build of ICS on the Droid 3. I use this phone as my primary device, so I would like to be able to use the camera, internet, data, etc.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to recommend what you use/have used.

There is no 100% working ICS rom as of now, but with Kexec they have a custom kernel booting and building from there. I would settle into a GB rom for stability/everyday use and have either an ICS or JB rom just to test. You can check the development forum for the current active CM9/CM10/AOKP by Hashcode, the latest CM10 (Jelly Bean) Kexec rom only seems to have a sleep issue and no camera, everything else seems fine so far. Safe Strap 3.05 lets you have up to 5 bootable systems without swapping nandroid backups; Stock + 4 custom rom slots.

As for other roms; The Gummy team split up as I recall, no more Gummy roms...
Personal main usage; I use Maverick ROM 4.0, good battery, good tweaks, looks nice.. version 4.5 has overclock, but a bug in it causes battery drain so stick with 4.0.
I have some questions about flashing this phone(XT1092) :
1º Are all roms compatible with all variants (specially XT1092)?
2º What are the best roms ( I mean less bugs, highest perfomance, longest battery life, all sensors working) ?
Thanks in advance (Sorry if english is bad :silly: )
1) Supposedly they should work on most models except for the xt1096 and any other CDMA model. The xt1092 is gsm, so everything should theoretically work.
2) Stock rom, I don't feel the need or desire to flash another rom because the stock rom is already perfect. And with greenify and xposed you can do anything you want with the stock rom, so I don't see any benefit in moving to another rom.

I would have stuck with just stock and root, but my device is only 16gb and the stock roms takes up a lot of space which is why I flash Cyanogen. You shouldn't use use Cyanogen nightlies as a daily driver since it will have issues, but currently it have everything working, like the wave, flashlight and camera gesture. I would wait until the next Snapshot/Milestone/Release Candidate version of Cyanogen for this device. Otherwise, just stick with stock and root it.
The Cyanogen rom works with both GSM and CDMA version.
