[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I have a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XP912 and have been using the rooted Verizon Blur 4.1.2. Yeah it is jelly bean and it is nice, but I wanted 4.3 and since the CyanogenMod 10.2 worked so well on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113, I wanted to use the same kind of ROM on my phone.I just love this CM10 ROM. It is good looking and so highly customizable that I cannot help but to love it. The good part is now in my tablet, I check for updates and Cyanogen will make updates available OTA and my tablet is always up to date and rocking.

(I broke the dammed digitizer outter glass once, got a new replacement on eBay for $21 and was happy as a clam. Doncha know I dropped it two days ago on way to doctor and broke it all over again? Another digitizer is on the way from China again, takes about 6 weeks to get here and is not that bad to replace.)

This rooted Verizon Blur ROM is great, does what I want, with Titanium and Greenify, I have gotten better at making it behave better, but I am stuck and cannot get updates for it, OTA has been disabled or I will lose my root. What I want is CM10.x for it. Tried 10.2, Safe Strap installed it easily with gapps, but no data service. Had to go back to CM10.1, now I got data and phone again. But a lot of my favorite and essential apps do not work anymore, like Wireless Tether for Root Users and some others like MeContacts. Now I find out from a decent fellow the following:

cyanogenmod has stop develop all phone with old OMAP...include our razr

We'll never see an official CM11 or a new stable 10.2

Oh crap, my favorite ROM and my phone are just never going to walk down the isle together. CyanogenMod with a Razr phone is not ready for prime time and it never will be. Shame, I spent days on making it the way I want it and was SO happy with myself, until I began to see way too many thing not work anymore.

I am on disability and money is forever a problem. Verizon would love to get me to update my phone, but always want to charge me like $200 to do it and then take another 2 year contract. The digitizer outter glass on this Razr has a very tiny crack but it is hardly noticeable and works quite well. So, what's it going to be? Update the phone to a better one (This one is slowing down pretty badly, does not run super fast like when it was new. Too many apps are always updating needing more horsepower and memory.) or pick a good ROM that I will like, that offers updating and new versions like CM, OR, update to a better phone and if so, what kind will be good and be around for a while? The Samsung Galaxy looks pretty sweet, big screen and a LOT of horsepower. What would you guys suggest?

I know, I know, I will get hundreds of different answers to this but the more, the merrier. Bring it on folks, what would you do? I am itching to get on with this so be forthcoming, please? What other ROMS are good for a Razr Maxx XT912 that would give me Jelly Bean 4.3, are very customizable, and produce regular updates and maybe even an updater service like Cyanogen is now offering? I love the fact that I can go to Settings/About, and check for new versions and updates and Cyanogen updates OTA. I cannot do this with my Verizon rooted 4.1.2 blur ROM or I will lose root and it is getting harder and harder to find exploits to gain root again. And NO, I do not want my phone to look or act like an iPhone!

Opinions, suggestions, personal experiences guys, please?
