On the CyanogenMod website I don't see much CM10 support for Motorola devices :/ Do you guys think there will be a CM based ROM for this phone eventually?
Cm10 is even on the X2 so I'd assume so. Hope so at least. Give it some time.
Sent from my JB'd X2
I'm hoping that many people are still waiting for this device to pick up, and hopefully its a large amount. If the devs get on this, I'll be a real happy dude. I loved CM9 on my Droid X, so if CM makes a comeback on this, you can bet I'll flash it.
However the phone just came out, so I can't see it happening soon. Maybe after a bit.
From what I've heard at least a few known devs are picking one up. With root and SBF files already leaked, I'd say this phone is on it's way.

I think CM10 would fly on this device. Would make it very popular since it has such an amazing battery. I would flash it on my Maxx HD in a heartbeat. Would make it my daily driver too.
Oh jeez yeah with CM the battery would last for years haha
Waiting on a stable CM10 based Rom to drop for this phone, then I'll be purchasing the Dev edition. I miss Moto devices, and have been very disappointed in the reception with my SGS3. I've dropped more calls with this phone than all my other phones combined. Especially on AOSP ROMs

Yes blaming Samsung, because I still have problems with their stock TouchWhiz ROMs. I would never judge a phone by it's lack of development. I only play with AOSP ROMs in the weekends, then restore my Nandroid of TouchWhiz through the week for work. I still drop more calls with this phone then I think I should, I even had it replaced because I thought I had bad hardware.

its samsung cdma, they write crappy radios. the sprint epic 4g touch (the SGS2 variant) had a brand new feature called LOS, loss of signal, where your phone would lose signal and never alert you or anything. you had to toggle airplane mode when you discovered it to get it back to working.
I haven't tested it very much but my Razr HD definitely has better voice clarity than any of my previous phones, most recently a Galaxy Nexus. I AM having strange intermittend wifi issues though. It seems like my wifi connection will randomly just drop off to almost nothing or disconnect entirely. Then it'll jump back up to a good strong connection again. This happens when it's laying down, when I'm holding it, etc.
Anyway, I'm hoping this phone will get good developer support, it's got all the right features. Or, the international version does at least.
Is the original razr unlockable? If not, I'm sure it would be pretty quick to get things figured out. For now we need BSR though. Do we have any devs that at least have this phone? And are willing to cracked this thing open.

THIS MAKES ME TINGLY. I'm ready to get a new phone, my galaxy S 1 has seen over 9000 (what, 9000?) ROM flashes and kernels and CWM and Odin and all that jazz... if the Maxx HD is ready to get that same ez-update framework, I am ready to get one right now.
the XDA community is just amazing. it has extended the GS1 to be competitive even into the LTE era.
Hopefully the Maxx HD is worthy of the XDA devs, it sure looks like a viable option right now - it passes the preliminary geek tests, right!?!?

Im on my 3rd Galaxy nexus for signal issues. My Day 1 has horrible issues now, and every VZW replacement has had issues, purple screen and now this one has a power button sunken into the chassis..... Ill never buy a samsung again
I've built recovery's before, but not BSR style. I'm researching it now. I have a cwm image built, but have to figure out how to use it for BSR.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will beat me to it, but if not, I'm working on it.

Still, what are the chances of a US Cellular ROM working on the Charge? We would still not have the RIL source, and the ICS build works fine otherwise.
Also, US cellular is known for using dated phones (for a much lower price, mind you). Their previous flagship was based off of the OG Atrix and Photon for AT&T and Sprint.

I would say very good. US cellular is CDMA like VZW is. From all accounts the phones are going to be the same.
The RIL source won't matter that much if we get totally working ICS radios now will it? Well it will for things like CM, but I am not thinking that way. I am think that this makes ICS stone cold done, not jellybean mind you, but just ICS.

The issue is that we aren't gonna get the radios. Google has flat out said that they legally can no longer release full source code on any CDMA phone.
assuming the aviator is as close to the charge....as the fascinate is to the mez/showcase then porting roms is pretty easy
just edits to apns, cdma carriers in system/etc, some build.prop edits and hacking up mms.apk and mmsprovisioning.apk (all of those just for sms/mms...rom will boot with data/calls as is)
since the aviator will get ics (under google's 18 months of updates) even if the charge doesnt, it should be pretty easy to port over
but really, i think the charge will get an ics update because i doubt samsung will spend a ton of money to make an update for a phone that might sell 1/20th as many units as the charge has (really little work on their end to make it compatible for the charge)
in fact id be surprised if the og sgs doesnt get ics now since the specs (screen and lte aside) are virtually identical from charge (which is essentially an lte og sgs)
now this coming from you makes me real happy......

Hey all,
So basically the wifi/Bluetooth hardware has crapped out on this phone and since there's no Atrix 4g anymore they're sending me an Atrix 2 MB865 tomorrow.
Having tried a lot of different ROMs on the 4g my favorite by far is the NEUTRINO ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398819 ).
I was curious if anyone had also made the switch from the 4g to the 2 and if they can reccomend a comparable ROM. I'll probably have to try what's available and find out for myself, but any guidance is appreciated!
Thanks.

RebelRom or VictoryRom easy to install debloated, really responsive.
Supercharged V5, excellent Rom, bit more to install. Probably the best as well.
I use VictoryRom because I don't have the patience to install Supercharged.
Waiting for the release of RebelRom stable.
Well I am sure none of this helped!
Really you cannot go wrong with any of them, it's a matter of taste.
ATRIX 2 / Victory Rom
I would say VictoryRom is closest to that. Atrix 4G's bootloader is unlocked right? Atrix 2 is not. So there are workarounds that make installing ROMs a different process.
Sent via Tapatalk with VictoryRom_v1.1
Use victory Rom for simplicity and closest to stock
Rebel Rom for a bit tweaked and sony-like launcher
Supercharged Rom for heavy tweaking and slight theming
Blaze Rom for both heavy tweaking and heavy theming
But the rom you wanted is based off cyanogen mod, our bootloader is locked therefore our customizations are limited and cyanogen mod isn't available for the atrix 2 yet.
Thanks for the replies. It is going to be hard not having cyanogenmod...to the point where I may sell the phone and opt for an SGS II for the time being which I hate to say because I love my Atrix .
Are there still folks working on unlocking the bootloader? I read the project cheesecake thread but it seems it's been going on forever with no real progress.

People (mainly Jim) are working on a method to get around the bootloader (bypass it) using kexec. It's maybe a couple weeks from being released. And wer're getting ICS sometime in July officially. We'll probably have a leaked version months before allowing us to get CM9 in. SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT SELLING YOUR PHONE. That is all.

Got the phone, rooted it and not even bothering with a ROM atm, just some tweaks (remove bloatware, deblur, launcher, cpu etc).
Honestly, in just the first day I'm liking this phone a bit more than the Atrix 4g. Phone is snappy, my speedtests are insane (don't know if it's true 4g lte, but I live in Boston and I got about 10mb/s down earlier, 1.5up), and the screen/colors seem a lot better than the 4g but that could just be all in my head due to the slightly larger screen size.
So I'm not gonna jump ship and go SGS II, just going to be patient and wait for the unlocked bootloader

I am actually running stock rom on my phone but theres a thread for CM10 here:

Though I see lots of people posting issues, so I've been staying away from it, and looking into the Touchwiz ROMS more.
I think one of the biggest ways to make touchwiz feel more like stock android experience is to use Apex or Nova launcher.

I am looking into getting the GS3 sometime this week as a Bday gift to myself. Turned 31 today and I am damned tired of my iphone. I had the Moto X2 and I hated it. I was always having to reboot the phone because of lag or it just freezing up. I went to the iphone to get away from this. I had read that because the X2 was one of the 1st duel core phones, there were a lot of issues. The GS3 being a quad core, there is almost zero lag and one of thos issues.
I knw this doesn't relate to the topic and I am sorry. Just really happy to be getting the GS3 to go with my Samsung Tab 2

The international version is the only version of GSIII with quad core. The US variants are dual core S4 (only processor that combined LTE) which benchmark quite favorably against quad core. Just clarifying because this is the Verizon model's thread were discussing this in.

I just switched from iPhone, I love it. It's so fast you could just run an alternate launcher if you dislike TouchWiz, there's no performance hit. I consider rooting essential for everyday apps but beyond experimentation I have no deep desire to flash a ROM. I'd like Jelly Bean but it's the fastest ICS device I've used even with a skin on it.

Only the Verizon version has any issues with ROMs. The locked bootloader makes custom kernels difficult; you have to bypass it using the kexec method and all this convoluted bull****.
If you want a custom ROM that's relatively easy to get, use a stock ROM like Synergy or Beans. I believe there's a holo theme for Synergy that makes the phone look like stock. Search around the Themes&Apps forum. Personally, I use Synergy 1.7, which has been pretty great.

People are working on getting the bootloader unlocked, but honestly I don't see it happening unless the FCC forces Verizon to do so. Flashing roms isn't that difficult really, but it's certainly not as easy as it was on my OG Moto Droid. Kexec is a workaround which I'm somewhat thankful for I guess. The main problem is there are currently many scary complications that can occur just from flashing any of these non TW roms right now. These problems aren't Verizon S3 specific I hear.
Personally I don't think CM/AOKP etc is worth flashing right now because of kexec and the possibility of losing IMEI/data. Yes the IMEI can be backed up or restored, but what a hassle. I flashed a CM10 nightly and then my data randomly died forever 10 minutes later. Flashing to stock/anything else was useless. Luckily reprovisioning my phone fixed the problem, but if it didn't..
I'm hoping that CM and stuff will be stable/safe within the next month or two but who knows? Verizon probably won't release JB until December or later on the S3.

Hate to say it but TW Roms on the S3 FTW.
Nothing more stable then the TW Roms we have for the Verizon S3. AOSP is just not there yet and who knows if it will ever be. After coming from a GNEX, you really see AOSP was not meant for any other devices and is loaded with problems when using anything else then a Nexus device.
Would love to get another Nexus device but who knows if Verizon will ever see one again and no other network is really good enough to pull me away right now.
Also, Google's claim about no LTE on the Nexus 4 due to bad battery, did anyone at Google try the S3? I would hardly call 4 hours of on screen time over LTE bad battery. They need to look past the GNEX which for whatever reason was a disaster when it came to battery. My wife's Rezound with like a 1650mAh battery gets as much screen on time then my GNEX did with a 2100mAh battery. Knock knock, don't we think something was wrong there!
Actually, I used the Thunderbolt I had previous to the GS3 for over a year on AOSP and it was AT LEAST as stable as the stock rom...probably more so. It just took time for it to get there. Saying that AOSP will never be stable is just...well, hogwash...Right now it's questionable. The roms are stable, it's just data that has a bit of an issue. If you're in a great reception area, there's no reason to not use it. Fringe areas, well, there are pros and cons.

I saw this, this morning... Apparently people are still having issues with blue tooth audio, and NFC.. but hey its a stable build not a RC. Will be flashing this at lunch!

I never said it will never be there I said who knows if it will get there. The Thunderbolt was never stable on stock so saying AOSP was just as stable is not saying much. lol
Signal is important to many people. If I was not worried about signals I would not be on Verizon paying their hight prices. I would be paying half the price for service running a Nexus 4 on a crappy GSM network. There are more issues then just signal and sure eventually they may all get worked out but so many people here jump devices so often we never get to see the final product if one is produced.
All I am saying is TW Roms have been so good on the S3 I cannot imagine sacrificing the stability at this point for an AOSP rom and trust me I would love to run AOSP. I never knew how good it felt until the GNEX which was my first Nexus device. Man, did AOKP rule on that phone.
I am currently using this rom. The only problems I seem to have are GPS locks, and the speaker phone echo. Supposedly some work was done on the echo, so perhaps a wipe is need to reap the benefits. At this point, once those two problems are fixed I would consider it a daily driver for anyone.
I don't use NFC or bluetooth, so I am unaware of problems related to those features.
Bass Issue
I'm not really sure if there is an exact stable build since the supposed stable build had Bluetooth issue by not giving the bass

If signal was so important people would only buy HTC and Motorola phones...just saying. I love my S3 but those two companies produce far better radios.

I can't figure out why it isn't working for me. I go to Settings, Click on More, And Check the NFC box and it is light greyed out and it does not allow me to complete any NFC activities. I know my NFC works as I've used it this week on rooted Jellybean. Am I missing something very obvious?

Hate to say it but TW Roms on the S3 FTW.
Nothing more stable then the TW Roms we have for the Verizon S3. AOSP is just not there yet and who knows if it will ever be. After coming from a GNEX, you really see AOSP was not meant for any other devices and is loaded with problems when using anything else then a Nexus device.
Would love to get another Nexus device but who knows if Verizon will ever see one again and no other network is really good enough to pull me away right now.
Also, Google's claim about no LTE on the Nexus 4 due to bad battery, did anyone at Google try the S3? I would hardly call 4 hours of on screen time over LTE bad battery. They need to look past the GNEX which for whatever reason was a disaster when it came to battery. My wife's Rezound with like a 1650mAh battery gets as much screen on time then my GNEX did with a 2100mAh battery. Knock knock, don't we think something was wrong there!

I have to disagree. Liquid smooth rom is the first aosp I've seen that runs like butter.

I've yet to see an HTC phone as light weight as the S3. Every HTC phone I've held feels like a brick.

if you search "nfc greyed out" in the question forum youll find pages of results and threads about this, and youll get your informatino much faster.
theres a zip youll find, as well as instructions.
nandroid
flash TW JB rom.
enable NFC (might as well get a GPS lock also)
restore nandroid
win
For the NFC issue, I believe that the CM10 thread includes a flashable zip or APK to fix the NFC: see this thread.
I do have a general question. I have been running CleanROM 5.6 but wanted to know how "stable" CM10 is in comparison to CleanROM. I understand that I'd be missing out on some Touchwiz features (motions, smartstay, powersave), but I am most concerned w/ battery life and data connection, particularly as I find myself never using the Touchwiz features anyway.
I am finding that reception on my S3 is inferior to my Razr M - for example, where I would get 3G or 4G signal on my M, I was getting 1x or no data on my S3. From what I've also read, data on the CM ROMs is inferior to the data on the TW ROMS. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, w/ battery life, I've also read that battery life on CM ROMS is inferior to that of Touchwiz. In any case, I am finding that the battery life on the S3 in general is inferior to that of the Razr M given my use. Specifically, I push my work email, read and respond to emails, browse the web a little bit, a few phone calls and text messages, and some FB use. On the Razr M, I was consistently getting about 36 hours of use, whereas, on the S3, I have been barely able to get 24 hours. If battery life on TW is already inferior to that of the Razr M, I am not willing to sacrifice battery life further by going with CM10.
In addition to battery and consistent data, are there any other bugs/issues w/ the CM10 stable that I should be aware of (tethering, BT connectivity, low call volume, speakerphone echo, etc.)?
Lastly, I assume that CM10 stable does not have the multitude of bugs that the present version of CM10.1 has?
Maybe I'm alone in this but it seems like this phone is a dead end now up to this point. We still have absolutely no word from AT&T or HTC about an update to Jelly Bean.....Well mostly AT&T because HTC has released a JB update to international ONE X.
The CM10 isn't stable enough to be a daily driver due to lack of sources.
It sucks we have great developers trying to give us something big from something small.
Now that the new ONE X is out on AT&T, I doubt they give a rats ass about the Previous version, we may well NEVER get Jelly Bean.
I've been using CM10 since I rooted. I have very few issues with it.

and so it begins ....imho if your that unhappy get a new phone and move on
A dead end? We've got some pretty good roms and kernels here, and active development. Maybe not as much as other forums, or as much as some would like, but plenty of people are happy about it.
JB is coming. The One XL has always lagged a couple of months behind the One X in releases, and that's continuing. But it will be out. And, who cares about AT&T? All we need is one carrier pushing it out and the devs can work from there.

It's been good when I was using it. But losing cellular reception constantly while using GPS was the tipping point for me to go back to a Sense ROM. Plenty of people had/have this issue and I don't see in changelogs that it's been resolved.
If it helps the Htc One XL has come to the UK with 32gb of storage, Maybe this will kickstart some more development...

CM10 is far from bad. Now something you wouldn't have liked was CM7 on my old GS2. No matter what I did with it, it never worked right. Only problem I have had with any of the AOSP is the music playing. Stuff that is far from a big deal..
Also, who cares about when AT&T is going to release an update. Have you taken a look at the dev sections lately? There is only 1 active rom that is based on AT&T released software(not knocking the rom itself in anyway, it was pretty good). Once one of the international variants get theirs, we'll have it.
Dead ?????

Yeah we just got a port(bootable albeit not entirely working) of a JB sense rom. From the DNA no less!

I feel like this is just complaining and pointless. But the same thing happened to the desire HD forum... Until! A dev turned everything around. Stop being impatient and wait.
[Edit]
Also HTC said this was already going to get jellybean so pointless complaint. Just wait

I put cm10 stable release and gave it to my wife. No complaints so far. I'm using a nexus 4 and this bad boy is no slouch compared to the nexus.
The development was slow at some point when the 2.20 did not have root, not anymore.
The CM stable release is as stable as it gets. Battery is killer with default kernel.

No. Just no. I use CM10 everyday.
I'm not new to modding and current run Cleanrom 5.1 with BeastMod kernel.
On CM10, I constantly lost service when using GPS. This is a well known issue that people were having (I was on the "stable" version).
I like the phone and It's actually doing well on the CleanRom............ The point of this thread was the lack of AT&T getting an update to this device.....and now that they released a new one, I'm pretty sure this one is forgotten.
I think if you're subsidizing phones and putting people in 2 year contracts, you should be obligated to provide updates for at least those two years, just my 2 cents.... but greedy carriers will be greedy carriers.
