FAQ:


Q: Should I wipe for "XYZ" update?

A: I always recommend full wipes, no wipes, no gripes.


Q: What can this be flashed over?

A: The 6.16.211 OTA and the 6.16.215 leak.


Q: My Google app won't sign in?

A: Move it to /system/app and try again.


Q: How do I overclock?

A: There are several methods that will work:

1. Delete UV and place your desired OC file into /system/etc/init.d and apply the same permissions as the other files in there.

2. Navigate to /system/etc/init.d and open UV in a text editor. Look at the 6th line:

Change 1200 to the desired frequency and 1386 to the desired voltage. You'll most likely want 1398-1410 for your voltage if you do 1300Mhz - 1325Mhz.


Q: How to switch sdcard and sdcard-ext as primary storage?

A: Navigate to /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_cdma.rc. Look at the top of the file.

Don't worry so am I, thanks, I sunk about an eighth of my summer into this ROM.

[eliX84]

Glad to see someone else in the Razr Dev scene! Just cause of that im gonna give his a try. One thing though, does this have motocast? I think im one of the few that actually like it and use it.
Thanx for your time into this great device and making mine a whole lot better.

How's texting/typing on this rom? It was too choppy on the last rom I was on. I use the Motorola Input keyboard over swype.

[pinkfloydviste]

can't wait to try it out

[mrmoto55]

This for .214?

[Scipio]

This for .214?

any ICS version, but if you're on 214, you really should upgrade to 215, pretty easy to do. But this will work on 214
