I am looking for a custom ICS rom for xt926. All the ones in the android dev section seem to have been upgraded to JB. Right now im using the stock version that came with my phone originally but i wuld like something thats been completely debloated. Any ideas?
I want to keep the hdmi overscan options that ICS has if youre wondering why i want this.
no? Ok well, is there a way to replace the MotoApps with their stock android counterparts? I wanted to do this with the clock (MotoDeskClock.apk in system/apps) but everytime i tried the clock would fc. I think it might have something to do with it being odexed but im really not sure.
Could just root it and remove all the bloat.

i am hoping to put the KOB4LT R3V4MP3D 4.1 ICS theme on my skyrocket. i have cwmr touch installed and i am rooted. i was running superlite with that theme but wanted to try the new stock leak. it is running a lot smoother an with less problems then superlite did. so i want to know if i can put it on a stock rom without screwing everything up.
Yes you can flash random things like the toggle mod, but I'm not sure if every mod will work perfectly though. Trial and error then nandroid

well u shouldn't be mismatching framework-res.apk's, as each from chef puts different configs in there from my understanding, but u can flash the systemui.apk without issue I would think, as well as some of the inverted and aosp apps included in that theme
Hi,
I have a Triumph and I'm considering rooting it, but I was wondering if doing so would disable any of the stock functions like the camera or the HDMI output.
I'm also wondering what the best firmware is for it. I know most are partial to Cyanogen Mod. Are there others that are better?
Thanks,
Lanie

Well there's Rooting and Flashing
If you root it then everything will still work fine
If you flash a Custom Rom then it's unlocked or Pre-Rooted, but there are things about each
1. Froyo Roms: Custom Froyo Roms should have all things working as stock but they'll probly function better, there are some froyo Ported roms however that have things not working so read the first posts carefully
2. Gingerbread Rom or CyanogeMod 7 or CM7: CM7 Roms have everything working just like stock except the mini hdmi, mini hdmi wont work at all anymore, but there an upgraded android os gingerbread, adds many things like tethering, overclocking and many custom settings
3. Ice Cream Sandwich or CyanogenMod 9 or CM9: CM9 has no camera and no mini hdmi but its two android os's above froyo, also adds tethering overclocking and custom settings
4. Jelly Bean or CyanogenMod 10 or CM10: Still Highly Alpha or Still Highly in Test Phase, No Camera, No Mini Hdmi, Many other things dont work but if you were feeling sporty you could atleast see Jelly Bean on your Triumph lol
No it won't disable any stock functions but it would open your phone up to more options and possibilities then before. I would root the phone and flash 2.3 (gingerbread) on it, froyo is pretty out dated but 2.3 is a really good ROM, a lot of development went into it, especially cm7

Nothing wrong with the stock rom either, once you root and clean house.

ok awesome. wanted to be safe i was reading a day ago about the jellybean leak for the Razor hd and hd max and saying that you may not be able to go back to stock (not sure why) but read today that you can.
awesome. i think ill be up late flashing away
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to smartphones. I recently bought a RAZR HD xt926 knowing it was a really good phone but I hadn't dug deep enough to realize the bootloader is not unlockable anymore until after I bought one :crying: . So I've been scrounging around for my options. So far I've gotten Safestrap 3.60 and rooted my phone. I've noticed some mention of flashing CM 10 or 10.1 using SS but every zip I find either fails to flash or wont boot afterwards.
Anyone know where a good and working CM10 zip that would work and/or the best SS compatible rom?
System version: 9.18.79
Android 4.1.2
build number: 9.8.1Q-79
You can't use CM with Safestrap because it tries to flash a different kernel. You need to use ROMs that are stock-based like RageHD, Nexesque, etc.
What are you looking for exactly? Something very close to stock or something with more custom stuff added?

Well I was basing that off of several threads I found like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34592575
Says it is CM 10 that works on Safestrap3 but the file isn't available any more on the download site.
I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. I've looked briefly at Aviator, RageHD, Blurry, Widow, Paragon Maxximus, and a couple others I found. Only found a small handful so far though.
Currently I'm using the stock but added AntTek Quick Toggle, Notification Toggle, Google Keyboard (very similar to CM's minus the blue), and Reboot Menu Widget *ROOT* (as the stock doesn't have Reboot in the power menu). Pretty much just adding stuff to give it more of the features I really enjoyed on my previous phone which has CM10.1.3 on it
Hmm, maybe that version of CM will work then. I never ended up using Safestrap myself so I couldn't say for sure.
Anyway, the link doesn't work right now because goo.im is in the middle of upgrading their servers.
I see. Hopefully I'll be able to get it once they finish and it work out. :good: guess that's the best I can do with this phone. Stock rom doesn't look half bad when using Next launcher 3D combined with the rest of the stuff I mentioned.
Yeah, I agree. Stock isn't bad at all with root. You get great battery life and you can remove all the bloatware anyway.
Yeah, I've yet to remove any bloatware. Probably only adding to the list in a way. The battery life was the main reason I bought this phone as my SII Skyrocket has a terrible battery life. I'd probably have gotten another phone or tried to find a developer or unlocked version if I'd known beforehand about the update, but such is my luck :silly:

You can flash Nexesque on an unlocked phone. That's what I have and encounter no issues, I believe when Adam released it it was specifically for an unlocked phone and safestrap as an alternative

I'm using Stock 4.1.2 and except 5ghz wifi isn't working am pretty happy with it.
Do the later custom roms add enough performance enhancements to warrant the effort? For me the 'proper' dpi and tablet layout of stock is highly preferred so any other layout is really not desired.
Thanks.

84 views and not one reply......wow that would seem to suggest not a lot of difference.
Try it and see for yourself. +1 for sky high 4.1.2. It all depends what you want, I need hdmi out so Sammy Rom for me.
Good luck.

I realise I can try it but as posted in the original question there's no point trying it if there's not a lot of difference.....and at the moment there seems little, if any, beneficial difference.

Wow. I had good reasons to move away from the stock ROM back when I did it. But that was so long ago, I can't remember what they were specifically. I think a lot of people are in that same boat, which is why you aren't getting any responses here.
I would say that if you're happy with the stock ROM, then stick with it! The easiest upgrade you can do is to install an aftermarket launcher, like NovaLauncher or GoLauncher. You'll get a ton of features that will allow you to customize your home screen layout without having to mess with rooting and flashing ROMs and recoveries.
