[Q] Custom Rom on RAZR ?

---

Hi everyone, after seeing so much post of bootloader locked for every country I've got some trouble to choose between Galaxy Nexus (16Gb) and Razr, I actually live in France, so sorry for my english btw.

My current phone is a Defy on Cyanogen 7 RC1.5 wich I purely love, and I think it will be difficult to leave cyanogen to motoblur rom on razr if we can't get rid of it :/, on the other side I need a phone with micro SD port to have all my music (30Gb+) with me everywhere, so galaxy nexus 16Gb (32 is not available in France) is not as good as razr for that.

So my simple question is "Will custom rom (Cyanogen!) be soon available on razr and will it be difficult to install them on?"

In advance, sorry if i'm acting like a noob and for my english again.

Sorry, but its like asking how long a piece of string is at the minute.

Until a dev can figure it out who knows.

On the plus side the Razr out of the box is pretty damn good

Currently, neither the International RAZR (XT910) or the Verizon Droid RAZR (XT912) ship with an unlocked bootloader, so you won't be seeing any custom ROMs any time soon.

However Motorola have confirmed in a blog post (which I can't link because I don't have enough posts) that they will be shipping a firmware update that unlocks the bootloader "sometime later this year", so you might not be in for too long a wait, carrier permitting.

Long story short - if you need ROMs within a short period of getting your phone, and it's soon, you might want to consider the Galaxy Nexus. If you're willing to wait or your contract doesn't finish until next year, the choice might be more balanced. But the Galaxy Nexus will probably always have the better development community of the two devices.

Thanks for the reply, I think I will give it a try in stores!
