Can I have stock everything and swap just the kernel? - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I looked and I am sorry if I missed it but what I would like to do is...
RAZR HD stock.
Freeze the bloat. VZW
Flash a faster kernel to further improve performance.
Still maintain full function.
Any help is very much appreciated.

You could if there were other blur kernel options and you were rooted with an unlocked bootloader.

Fryetech/Jilltech Rom or other Senseless Roms

I was looking to root today and flash the Fryetech rom, but it appears as though it is now gone.
Are there any other ROMs out there that are similar? ie, no bloat ware, stock gingerbread-esk colors?
Thanks!

Actually probably only the radios are different, if this situation is any similar with the D3, it should work minus phone and data
a confirmation from the dev may be needed just to be sure the radios wont fry if flashed with wrong software
Get it working for the Maxx HD!
Radios are deff different and some other stuff

Thanks, hope to see more. I just upgraded from the thunderbolt which has all but vanished from the scene. Loving the battery life on this one...

Has anyone worked out the difference between the international xt925 (unlocked loader) and the XT926?

Did you check the MD5 of the download before you began? Is your boot loader unlocked? Are you on stock ICS or JB leak? Did you use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper for any reason? All shots in the dark... worked OK for me on stock rooted 4.0.4.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I'm unlocked.
On Jelly Bean leak
Yes I have Vodoo Root Keeper.
For some reason I thought I needed to be on Jelly Bean leak.
Could it be root keeper causing the problems?

Another question since I see your name in a lot of good info. I thought I saw somewhere about replacing that stupid unlock warning with the Motorola symbol again.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Not sure about this but make a backup of your current state (you probably already have) then in Voodoo app delete the SU backup then try again. Also I'm not sure if it can be installed on JB leak (not saying don't do it, I'm saying I don't know.)
@dhacker29 or @Hashcode0f via twitter will be able to answer your questions if my suggestion doesnt work.
EDIT: just updated the OP with his download page... There seems to be a newer version out anyway, try them.
Thanks

Did this work for you? Did you remove Voodoo root keeper? I have trouble like you trying to install this rom

-turned off phone accessed safe strap
-made ROM slot in 1 nothing 2 nothing 3 nothing and 4 nothing
-wiped cache and other three
-installed ROM and gapps
-reboot and NOTHING!

No need for safestrap on an unlocked BL use TWRP instead and it should work

Do I have to uninstall safe strap and if my boot loader is unlocked is that going to matter if so how would I uninstall and thanks
Sorry I'm kind of a newbie
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
Make sure to delete the partition you created with safestrap then uninstall it. Then use one of the tools in the development section if your not comfortable using fastboot commands to flash either twrp recovery or cwm. Then install your custom rom and it'll work fine.

How do uninstall I tried deleting the app and when I reboot my phone safe strap is still there it version 3.12

Aparently safestrap doesnt flash 4.2.2 roms.
I had this same problem. You'd be better of using clockwork mod.

You have to uninstall through the app like I said man. Not just delete it.

New to the HD

OK, just traded my S3 for this bad boy and even though I can't unlock the boot loader its still awesome and I love it. I do have it rooted on the latest firmware but like I said, no unlock sadly. How much fun can I actually have with it just rooted but not unlocked?

You can now rest easy knowing that when you turn on your phone you wont be frightened by TouchPiss and the gawd awful button layout.
Now the fun really beings. Make your own mods. No more flashing broken roms and waiting for the dev to fix them. You start with the stable stock rom and mod it. Although my bl is unlocked this is what im doing.
Can I flash things without an unlocked bootloader?? I mainly want a kernel which might not happen. :/

Can't flash a different kernel but as mentioned you can do basic mods or even use safestrap and use some of the old roms.

What kind of build prop mods can I do to help with speed?

I don't know about build prop tweaks but have you ditched the stock launcher yet? Nova and Apex are both smoother and faster than the stock one.
