[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] (your post is too long to quote, and on this forum, I can't just snip part of it...) First.... NO, the Razr will never get Kitkat. The OS updates stopped at Jellybean. What it DOES have are Kitkat ROMs. A lot of them. I use the AOKP one by [MENTION=5709478]tonyt.[/MENTION] You loved the CM Snapshot. Others use Pacman, Mokee, etc. My daughter has the same phone as I do. Not touched. No root. No exposed modules. It is running JB. It will always run JB. The end.

I still feel most people ROOT the phones first to get rid of bloat ware, then to get rid of ads. If a phone has an unlocked bootloader, you do not need a custom recovery, as if you "screw up", you boot to bootloader, and load to recovery. I personally installed a custom ROM on this phone and my OG Droid for a few reasons. First, on my OG Droid, after Fro-yo, Gingerbread disabled the led from blinking with screen ON. That phone was, and still is, in the dock that was made specifically for it. Turns phone into a clock mode, full screen. Without led blinking, if I "missed" the notification sound (left the desk/turned off sounds/was on the office phone...) I would NEVER know I had a notification UNLESS I : (1) tapped screen to wake it (2) tapped "home" (3)saw notification icon in pull down area (4) pulled down area (5) took notice of each notification, and finally (6) acted on each one. Moronic system..... But it was a forced system upgrade pushed by carrier (I hadn't rooted for fear of warranty issues and I had no reason.... None of my apps had ads, and those that did I either uninstalled or bought the pro version...) So..... Now I had an expensive digital clock that could do other things, but not what I needed. If I just needed a phone, could get a "dumb" phone. Just an mp3 player? Ditto. Internet? I was at a desk. Or could use Wi-Fi. No need to pay for a data plan if phone wouldn't do what I needed. Sooooo.... I rooted. Installed CM 6 (or whatever Gingerbread first edition was....) The ROM allowed me the features I needed. Mainly, ability for led to blink while docked (aka screen ON!) Then, I tried other Gingerbread ROMs. Some I loved, others, not so much. I think I still have Steel Droid on there... That phone will NEVER be updated past Gingerbread.

My tablet came with Honeycomb, but updated to ICS. Only rooted that to get rid of bloat and ads. Bootloader is unlocked. Will never be updated past ICS. There are, however, JB and Kitkat ROMs available for it. No need for me. It works, and works well for my needs. Certainly as fast as my sister's newest iPad.

The Milestone is not the Droid X. I think the Milestone was the GSM version of the OG Droid, which is a CDMA phone (as are all Verizon phones...)

Also, I tend to play more word games than any others, or number games.

The OG Droid was called "Sholes" and the European version (GSM) was the Milestone.

As a correction, the OG Droid and Milestone were not updated past Froyo. In order to get my features back, I rooted and installed CM. When CM released new updates and subsequently newer OS versions, I installed them as well.
