[Q] Custom ROMs? - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, Im new to this site and to Android, I was an iPhone user for a long time and could do anything with it, jailbreak etc. had it all hacked, but got fed up of apple so I bought myself a Motorola Razr i XT890 and I love it. I rooted it straight away and no problems. As im new to this id like someone to point me in the right direction of where to find custom ROMs? Would i be right in saying I cant get clockwordmod recovery on my model and therefore cant get/install custom ROMs?

Just a quick Google search will return some results for roms (droid razr . com is a good site) Otherwise though you do need safestrap in order to flash roms. (again just Google it) anything else you need, just look through the forums and you'll find it.
And might I suggest simplex as a rom.

[Q] Nooby question about ROMs

Hey guys, I'm new to rooting and Androids. I couldn't find any information, so I came here for help. I have a rooted Samsung Transform.
1. Do I need to have a special ROM made for my device specifically? Or will any ROM work?
2. If so do you know of any ROMs for it?
Thanks for your time!
ROMs are made specifically for your device.

Alright, thanks! Do you (or anybody reading this) know if there are any ROMs for the Samsung Transform? I can't seem to find any...
I dont think there are goiong to be an ROMs for this device for a while, or maybe never. Its a mid ranged andriod phone so not that many people ( Compared to those with high end devices ) who are apart of XDA will get it. Also its only been out for a month or so. It just doesnt seem like there are going to be ROMs for this device currently
Yeah. I was thinking the same thing, was just hoping someone would say something different :/

How to return to stock?

I bought a used transformer this past weekend and its already running prime overclocked to 1.6ghz. My question is how do I return to stock so I can install the icecream sandwich update when it become available? Every other android device I've owned has had a one click restore of some soft but I can't seem to.find anything here like that. If someone could please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

i believe first everyone will tell you to search extensively about your topic and the answers are available.
i will however help ya out with the specifics of what your lookin for.(and just so you know the devs will probably get you ICS before asus does or very shortly thereafter, so you might want to consider your options once you do your research)
your going to wanna look up the differences in device serial number versions the pre b70 versions and the b70+ versions. look into the sbkv1 and sbkv2(secure boot key). its very likely yours is a pre b70 which for now is probably good. the later versions have a locked bootloader and the more powerful tool nvflash doesnt work currently.
i belive yours is older (but be sure!!!) and should be able to utilize the nvflash method of unrooting/unbricking. this is what you wanna reasearch....
im in the earning process myself and want to better the transformer community anyway i can and im a firm believer that knowledge is power...............but also comes with responsibility
if you have questions by all means ask but you really should spend some time researching your device and this community and exhaust your intelligence before calling on someone elses....i say this only because many more experienced members will really get on you for asking questions you can answer your self... youve gotten this far your on the right track.
beyond that i will glady help anyone i can and im learning as well so im hungry for the info i guess...
Anyone see what im saying as wromg or misguided plz let me know....
Yeah mine is the original purchased in may.

Hello,
I agree with the question. How can I return to the Stock ROM?
At the Moment i have the Revolution HD on mein TF.
I search, but i cant find the answer
thx for your help
Heck the easiest way I know of to flash to stock is nvflash a stock ROM. Just did that to send back my TF for an RMA, No trouble at all, Snag a stock ROM from Asus website (or here on XDA). Search nvflash and you'll be good to go, Very straightforward process, really.

Thanks for your answer.
I rootet my Pad with Brks_rootkit_v7.1.
I think this program was made a backup from original stock rom befor i rootet my pad. Is this correct?
Can i use Brks_rootkit_v7.1 to become to original stock?
thx

Yep, if you have a backup from your stock made by brks rootkit 7.1 then you can put your tablet back to stock rom.
If you don't have a backup stock rom, then go to tabletroms.com and search in the forum for asus transformer nvflash unbricking tools, this is a tool from zerofeel. This solutions works really well and I use it to keep getting back to original stock rom, before I put a new rom and kernel on my tablet.
Good-luck with it and remember use it at your own risk.
But nvflash doesn't work with b70+, is there a guide to go back without nvflash? Besides that, i got the latest DE Firmware and i want to have a possibility to go back to stock before i root..just in case...is there any way?
I think the answer is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339153&postcount=36

You'll need to checkout the Atrix 4G Android Development section for finding all ROMs available for the device. Read through user reviews and select the best one of your choice. Also, when asking about which is the Best ROM, you'll get 10 different opinions from different people. So its all upto your needs to use the one of your choice.
Thread closed
I would move it for you, but there's a good chance it would get closed in that forum too. Best ROM threads/questions are generally frowned upon around here due to the type of responses (mostly negative) and bickering they tend to generate. Try them out for yourself and see what works for you.

[Q] question about CWM from experienced person

Hi I have a question concerning getting CWM installed on my RCA 7 inch tablet (RTC6272W23). It is a ROCKCHIP based device (RK3066). itis on 4.2.2. I ffound something on this website, but being new to all this stuff I was not sure if this applied to my tablet or not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102679. I was wondering if looks like it applied to mine or not? I only need to install CWM so I can make a complete backup of the stock ROM, I will not be using it for custom Roms. I am rooted. Thanks in advance.
Hello
Man not to be an ass or anything but everywhere I look on line all I see is how this website is so great, but I have ask questions on two different tablet on here, and no one even replies. Hey got a lot of people looking at the question. I rate this site at minus 5 stars so far
It think it can be applied to your tab... Problems are ignorable and won't cause any disturbance..
To be on safer side make sure u have backups and stock rom available

[Completed] What else shall we do now ?

Hi all,
Before starting I wish to declare I am a stupid person with stupid questions.
So here I go. I have rooted, unlocked the boot loader, installed custom ROM, custom kernels, dual bootes ROMs, flashed Ubuntu Touch, flashed Firefox OS (hated it though). Tried all ROMs and everything out there on my Nexus.
Now, is there something I'm missing out to do on it?
I just mean to know what else could we do on a smart phone so it really becomes a next gen device.
I thank profusely all those hard working developers out there who have helped me do all those things and now that they have, they motivate me to do more.
That, and that I constantly need to see something new.
Please help I'm out of ideas.
