AOSP 4.4 Kit-Kat for Razr M (XT907)

 

 

 

Well

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

and I have got some 4.4 AOSP KitKat builds that we're gonna be posting (and tinkering with for some basic options). All credit goes to dhacker, hashcode, epinter & company and the entire Razr QCom Dev-Team for getting this up and running so quickly.

 

Prerequisites:

You must be on an unlocked (or dev) Razr M XT907-VZW

You MUST have TWRP 2.6.3.0 flashed (all older versions won't work). I find the easiest way to accomplish this is to download the appropriate

, place it on your SD card then install from the Play Store an app called "

". This is an amazingly simple app that allows you to put a recovery image right on your SD card, you run the app, choose flash recovery and basically just hit "go". And it'll flash the recovery for you. Certainly there are other ways and many write-ups on how to do this manually with fastboot or whatever else you wish, I find this way to be the most user friendly.

Rom Download:

Destructions:

Download the most recent posting of the Rom zip, the Gapps and the Root zip from the provided links

Put this stuff on your SD card (I don't care which)

(BEFORE you do ANYTHING, make sure you've flashed your updated TWRP 2.6.3.0! You only need to do this once, it's final!)

Reboot into TWRP recovery

MAKE A BACKUP! This stuff is Alpha AT BEST!

Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, System (going from 4.X.X to 4.4 without doing this will break stuff, don't be lame...just do it)

Flash Rom zip, Gapps, Root zip

Reboot

????

Profit

 

MD5 Sums:

Rom - 621b6cbbdca5d0d2ffc02a8e60659e8a

XT907 2.6.3.0 TWRP - 791c142be27a541ea36b9fc97c684a50

SuperSu.zip - ecc25ead04672952a59470105afe8704

 

What Works?:

I've been told this most recent build has working data and external SD mount, but you're more than welcome to complain, just remember this is alpha!

 

What's Broken?:

Rumour has it, MMS. SMS does function afaik

 

What will you do about broken stuff?:

Not much, but we'll try. We're all lucky as hell we've got Android 4.4 on a device that Moto/VZW ABANDONED on 4.1.2...BE HAPPY!!

 

Very special THANK YOU's in no order:

Are you also doing the Maxx HD? Going to ad any special touches to it? I'm currently running his build for the Maxx HD but be nice to change a few things, like the color for one. Don't much care for all the white lol and it currently doesn't mount the external SD card.

Give ya a heads up. Apparently MMS don't work on the build either from dhacker. I tried using the hangouts app and the stock messaging app. Neither will send. Regular texts work fine.

This will just be builds of aosp... But it will make bringing ose to 4.4 quicker and easier.

This is awesome. I can't wait until all the custom roms add in their features. I'm not sure if this is worth giving up active display, but it's definitely really cool. Loving kit kat so far.

Nice steps and all but all of this stuff has been posted already. Not sure the point of the redundancy of the links... But the writeup part may be helpful.
