Thank you Rinkle McBally for the awesome banner!

Hi erryone, my name is shobon and I "make" roms.

Today I have a treat for you guys... The first JB RAZR rom with a fully working launcher/circle widgets from the RAZR M.

To my knowledge, all other roms which use the RAZR M/i/HD launcher are using the ICS version, which has an ugly search bar with two Google logos. After digging through the apk for a while, I decided I'd try to port the launcher from JB, which was relatively easy. Since I can't be the only one who hated the old ICS launcher, I decided to share it (as a rom) for everyone!

Do a full wipe before flashing! That means data, cache, and dalvik cache. All gone. Feel free to wipe system too, but the installer should do that for you. If you're upgrading from an older version of Breakneck Blur, you don't have to wipe anything.

Also blah blah blah if you brick your phone it's not my fault blah blah. Chances are, if you know how to flash a ROM you're smart enough to do it yourself.

I tend to post progress of my work as I'm working on it on Twitter, so if you want to know the latest and greatest, you should totally follow me

(and if you're not annoying I'll follow back).

Also, do not download any roms from my goo.im folder without me posting about it first. I tend to post about new releases as soon as I'm done uploading, so if you happen to be browsing through my goo.im and you see a release I haven't oficially released, then chances are you're downloading a copy that hasn't finished uploading. Because of that, if you try to flash it either a) it will fail and you wasted your bandwidth, or it will soft-brick your phone. So be patient, I know what it's like being a crackflasher

If you're having Play Store issues, go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Store, then clear cache, wipe data, and force close.
If you're still having issues, learn how to do a logcat, and send me a logcat of while you're trying to download an app

If you want to use the stock Browser, flash this over your current install. You'll have to flash it every time you upgrade, so keep a copy on your sdcard:

I'd also like to mention that any mods made for deodexed stock 98.72.16 roms should work with Breakneck Blur. I am not providing support for mods you flash, so if something breaks then it's not my problem! If you're having issues, make sure you're running an unmodified version of this rom, that'll make it a lot easier for me to track down the issue and fix it.

Welcome sir. Thanks for sharing your goodies with us. Just to clarify this is for the OTA kernel (.16) correct??

Oh I figured that'd be self-explanatory (who would still be making roms for the x-mas leak anyways), but yes, this is for the .16 kernel

Yay! My circles! I just finished the upgrade an was running Droid HD as my daily driver. Was really disappointed these weren't included in JB.

Does this ROM also have the quick settings menu if you swipe left from the home screen? Toggles in the pull down? Those were two things I used a lot....

The homescreen settings are there, the toggles aren't there yet. I currently don't see the point of having both, but you may see them in the future. Also if there are any flashable toggle zips for the JB OTA kernel, they should work on this rom.

Power Toggles from the play store are a better option anyway...

Very nice! and Welcome. Just to keep all informed, Flying Jelly has the Circle widget....I think these are the only two that I am aware of.

[MrFrankRazr]

Thanks for sharing this ROM. And , yes Flying Jelly is correct...as I am running it atm. May have to check out this ROM now.

[Kwazzy]

Yes, Flying Jelly has circle widgets, but they're from ICS. If you

, the search bar on the launcher has two Google logos (a bug), and the ICS-styled frame. I've been looking for a rom without this issue (which occurs in when you install the circle widgets + launcher from ICS in JB), and I couldn't find one so I made my own

I'm currently running JellyWiz ROM and the android version its on is 4.1.2 and system version 98.72.8.XT912 . since this ROM is based off the newest android version that the RAZR was just updated to, can I install this ROM without any problems?

No you need to be on the 98.72.16 Version Kernel. Did you update to the JB OTA on your stock side? Did you use the Compatibility tool to get on Jellywiz??

No I haven't updated to the JB leak on my stock side....its been s long since I've dome that I can't remember what to do. No I didn't use compatibility tool to get on jellywiz

Well you can't run this rom til you update. Use this tool

. Use option 1 which will wipe your data. Then you can use the same tool to root, install safestrap and then you can load up this rom

had the same issue, couldn't update superuser binary, couldn't get root.

now I'm wondering if I could of used voodoo to restore root...

[Rinkle McBally]

Glad you posted your work here finally keep it up stunning stock ripped

[shobon]

Hunting down that superuser issue, I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is!

[garywojdan81]

Is anyone else having root issues on this? I've installed this twice now from clean slots & right at boot up it needs to update the su binary, which fails, and every root app/check fails as well. Tried switching to supersu & superuser & both fail root as well. Any ideas?
