[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Good to hear that you are back from the brink. Believe me we have all been there.

Read my ICS install guide (linked above) and if you need any files, they should all be in the Repo thread in the Dev section. Above all, read, read and when you are ready, read just a bit more. That way you will have some foundation for when you are ready to flash and not be reading at the same time as doing.

As fundemental as this sounds, I always suggest it because it gives you a better sense of troubleshooting. I suggest you download some 2.2 ROMs and kernels and try going from 2.1 to 2.2 by using CWR update.zip method, and then Odin back to JFD (2.1) and try another. Do this a few times and you will inevitably run into some issues like the differences of key combos between Froyo and Gingerbread Bootloaders, differences between Voodoo and non-Voodoo kernels,... This will tremedously help when you do take the jump to ICS/JB and the very real possiblity of doing something wrong.

And FWIW, the way you could have gotten out of the predicament in your OP was to re-flash the ROM.zip over itself. 90% of the time that cures the initial flash bootloop on ICS ROMs.

Good luck and if you need anything search first (this device is almost 3 years old, so most problems have already happened/solved) and then ask.

Hey guys, i think about buying me a new phone with a dual core, because i think that this is the minimum configuration of a smartphone today (At the moment i have an optimus black).

Can you still recommend the RAZR (and why) or would you prefer other lowpriced (older) smartphones like the Nexus oder the Galaxy S2.

Thanks
[RAZR HD General] miketoasty:
I have a Galaxy Nexus and my girlfriend just got the Razr HD Maxx (Major upgrade from her Droid 2), and it really depends on what you are into. The device is amazingly snappy (Even more than my fully rooted, ROM'd, custom kernel Galaxy Nexus), and the radios are much stronger than my Galaxy Nexus (A lot of times she will have 4G in buildings where I only have 1 or 2 bars of 3G). Also, the 3300 Mah battery is insane, it literally is a full day phone, usually she has 45% at the end of the day (She uses it a lot for pinterest, facebook, all that girly stuff). But, the main problem is that it does not have stock Android, and probably won't for a while. If that bothers you then go with the Galaxy Nexus otherwise this is definitely a great phone to have.
[RAZR HD General] robstunner:
Motorola is the only company that came out and said they wanted to be stock Android, but the carriers request the skins. That wins points in my books, and in all honesty it still looks closer to aosp than any other phone out there.

It all depends on what your looking for op. If you want great battery and build then this phone will be perfect. If you need the best camera or a removable battery, you might want to look elsewhere.
[RAZR HD General] stretched:
Looked at getting it for a while, but decided on the SGS3 since it had a great camera and a removable battery.
[RAZR HD General] GBerg2119:
I'm in the same boat. I like the razr because its as close to stock android you can get without being a nexus phone. Build quality and battery also look great. The one thing I'm concerned about is all the restrictions moto puts on their phone and the bloatware I'll have to remove once I root it.
[RAZR HD General] bc_1:
Razr buying or not?

Razr is a good phone i have tried it out and it works really well

Thanks
[RAZR HD General] GoClifGo05:
Bought the HD dev and waiting for it to arrive. Can't beat moto build quality and radio. Root is already available so you can freeze all the bloat easily. Aside from waiting for the quad core phones to arrive I think this is right with (if not above) the sgIII.

Sent from my JB'd X2
[RAZR HD General] SeatownGST:
I'm strongly considering the MAXX HD. the general reviews seem good, the guts seem fine... a few complaints about the software/bloatware, but that's why I come to XDA. If the MAXX HD will get a root/recovery/ROM situation that supports AOKP or CM10 or whatever... that's the key. The phone's preload would be immediately lobotomized upon delivery and I'd set up with a rooted ROM as I'm accustomed to!

So, I'll be intently watching all the threads in the Razr HD section (presumably which covers the new MAXX HD as well :silly: )
[RAZR HD General] someguyatx:
Glad this section of the forum is up and running. I will likely be switching from Sprint to Verizon soon and this phone is exactly what I want. I'm on the Sprint Galaxy S2 right now but really want to give a Moto phone a shot over a S3. I can't wait to read some more opinions in the next few weeks.

[RAZR HD General] sc540i:
Just ordered two from Simplexity online today. One HD - white for my wife and one Maxx HD for myself. They all got shipped out today and expect to arrive tomorrow afternoon. It is much better deal than local Verizon store and Costco. Cost me under $300 for two without tax. :laugh:
[RAZR HD General] Zodwraith:
I cannot recommend the maxx enough. I'll take a huge sealed battery over a small removable battery any day. GS3 is nice hardware but I just can't get over the cheap feel and bloated UI of Samsung phones. A Ferrari engine in a Hyundai is still a Hyundai. I wanted the Ferrari design as well.
[RAZR HD General] robstunner:

[RAZR HD General] GeorgeHahn:
Paid $650 outright for my Maxx HD, I feel it was well spent. (Paid retail to keep my grandfathered unlimited data)

Coming from a Droid 2, the reception seems inferior, but it's hard to say at this point. Don't plan to return, but it will take another week or two to fully evaluate.

I've been away from my native north jersey at a conference in CA (4G everywhere, etc). Battery life is simply stunning, and responsiveness on ICS is amazing. Was running CM9 on my D2 and this is a huge step up. When you throw in the beautiful design, nice screen, and 4G capability, it's hard to find any reason not to buy this phone.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned anywhere (maybe it's fairly standard these days?): this phone has, or feels like it has, an LRA (linear resonant actuator) rather than your standard rotational vibrator. Haptic feedback feels excellent!

I'd strongly recommend this phone for anyone looking to buy or upgrade.
[RAZR HD General] awmobjects:
I replaced my S3 with the RAZR Max HD..better quality build including better radios
[RAZR HD General] sc540i:
Got my new Maxx HD. Love it! Activated!
[RAZR HD General] JJT211:
I went and checked this out at Verizon today and was VERY surprised of how much I liked it!

The big knock for me was the 4.7 in screen making the phone way to big....My OG Razr Maxx w/ 4.3 in screen is about as big as I want to go...

However, when I compared it to my OG Razr....it was EXACTLY the same size and dimension....The difference was having LESS bezel and MORE screen! It's a good bit smaller the GS3

I did a quick speed test and got 24 MB/S vs 12 MB/s on my OG Razr.....I didnt think I would like the soft button interface but it actually was much different than expected and made navigating and using the phone MUCH easier....and ;ast but not least the whole interface with supper smooth!

Cant afford it atm....but jIm def getting one soon!!
[RAZR HD General] mdt73:
Today I was offered an alternative replacement for my Samsung Galaxy S3 that I finally accepted, which ends up being the Razr HD. My S3 cannot make calls 50% of the time due to a NO SIM error message... and I really just wanted them to fix my phone, but after 1.5 months of making excuses why my phone doesn't work to friends, co-workers, bosses, it was time to move on. I do have a question for you all, does this device have NFC? The Motorola site does not list this as a feature of the phone, but other sites say it does. As a temp resolution Verizon sent me a Galaxy Nexus, which was nice of them. (although I have yet to see a real amazing upgrade over the touchwiz'd ICS on the S3) How are you guys enjoying the motoblur? Worth it to move to a new ROM, or stick with stock?

Thanks, in advance!

Do you have any pointers to charging and battery practice tips?

Battery came half-full. I charged until full, it just turned 100% and green led.

I now intend to use it until drained, then charge it back up overnight.

Does this full/drain cycle sound like a good idea to you? Would you have drained the battery from new to empty? Same thing, right? As long as there is a pattern to touch the empty and full ends?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarlonKaye:
I need official CyanogenMOD for my Galaxy Ace S5830. The latest that is the MOST STABLE for Ace, meaning if CyanogenMOD 10 is latest but has bugs, and CyanogenMOD 9 is stable, then I want 9.

And I do mean absolutely no bugs whatsoever. ALL apps must be working, such as fm radio, camera, wifi, bluetooth, etc

If you can, please answer these questions as well:

1. To install a custom ROM like CyanogenMOD, is flashing ClockworkMod Recovery a prerequisite?

2. Can I flash ClockworkMod Recovery by first installing "ROM Manager" from play.google.com ? In other words, does ROM Manager have the ClockworkMod Recovery?

3. Do phones need to be rooted to flash a custom recovery (like ClockworkMod Recovery) ?

4. If phone is running CyanogenMOD, can it still use Samsung Kies to restore contacts?

5. What is a nightly?

Thank you so much!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawnyRom:
Cyanogenmod 7.2 nightly or rc3 are stable. Also cyanogenmod by frozenaceteam is very stable. Cyanogenmod 9 and 10 still have a lot of bugs.

1. Yes you need clockworkmod recovery to install custom roms.

2. Do not install or touch rom manager as it will hard brick your device. Rom manager does not support ace.

3. Yes rooting is essential.

4. Once cyanogenmod is installed, kies will no longer detect phone. Try googling android contact backup.

Click thanks if i helped!:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarlonKaye:
hello

What is a nightly? Is rc3 another custom ROM?

Also, in the ROM Manager page at play.google.com , it says:

"Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)"

Should I be concerned with this? Not that I wish to use ROM Manager; I'm just curious....

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawnyRom:
Actually i wouldnt recommend the nightly version, as it still has some bugs and is for advanced users who uprade this every night. Rc3 stands for Real Canidate 3 and is close to becoming final. It has no bugs so i recommend it. These are all variants of cyanogenmod. I also found another rom called cyanogenmod 7.2 official. This is the final release and has no bugs. You can try rc3 or official and see which one is better in battery and performance.

Do not worry about it. You can root it. Then install clockworkmod recovery and flash the rom. There are many tutorials on xda. I recommend watching video tutorials too:D

Please hit thanks!

RawnyRom, is RC3 more advanced than 7.2 official?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
RC3 is release candidate. It IS the official build.These are stable builds.Nightly builds on the other hand are builds that are made by Jenkins(build bot) everyday.

I recommend using vo-1's CM build though..

Oh,and you can't use Kies with CM7,and...

NEVER USE ROM MANAGER,it will hard brick your device.

I am a potato, problem?

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

No offense...But most of what you said is wrong...

RC stands for release candidate

Cyanogen Mod 7.2 is a rom.

RC and nightlies aren't variants.These are names for the builds,there are nightlies,Release Candidates and stable builds..

RC3 IS the office build.Ace doesn't have the stable version yet.

CM is pre-rooted and comes with CWM recovery.

Root is also not required for flashing from recovery.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarlonKaye:
Hi prawesome. I still don't get the difference between nightlies and Release Candidates. Are they not "stable" versions?

Also, you say root isn't required to flash a custom recovery?

And you also say "CM is pre-rooted and comes with CWM recovery". But I thought you need to get cwm recovery first before you can flash CM? Why does CM come with CWM recovery when CWM recovery is already a prerequisite?

Anyway, can you just recommend the LATEST STABLE version of cyanogenMOD for Galaxy Ace S5830? and if it's not too much trouble, can you post the link?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
I know you asked Prawesome, but I can help you with some of your answers:

The following passage is taken from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about

"Right now, CyanogenMod consists of two parallel and active major versions: CyanogenMod 7 is based on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and CyanogenMod 9 is based on Android 4.0 (ICS); CM9-capable devices are being phased out of CM7, but since there’s a large amount of devices still on the market that aren’t capable of fully running Android 4.0, CyanogenMod 7 exists to support them. The variants of the firmware are split into 3 categories, Stable, Release Candidate and Nightlies. The Stable version, as suggested by the title, is the tried and tested variant of the firmware proven to be mostly bug free and suitable for daily use. The latest stable version is available for an assortment of the officially supported devices. A Release Candidate (RC) build may not be the final version, but a variant that has no fatal flaws or bugs, on the stabilization stages to become the final product that is the Stable variant. Lastly we have the Nightlies, which are as volatile as a firmware can get. These releases keep coming at an interval of a day or two and if you do end up trying one of these, do not be alarmed if the your device goes cuckoo on you. These ROMs are largely untested, and as advised by CyanogenMod, not meant for use for an average user. These releases, are meant to test untested waters that may or may not break your phone."

As for the latest official CyanogenMod Rom for our device, go to get.cm (by typing "get.cm" without quotation marks into your browser and look for cooper (not ace))

Cheers

Rich

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Official stable download link: http://get.cm/get/2K8

I would say though, that a lot of people find that roms based on Vo-1's version much better, like Droidace, Apocalypse (second last release), and the work Cryss is doing to keep Vo-1's CM7 going for example. I do urge you to give these a try too.

At the end of the day there is no best rom and you must try quite a few to find the one that suits you best.

Happy flashing!
