So Ive rooted my Atrix4g, and I want to unlock my bootloader.
I understand the plus of doing this, and realize I cant turn back once this is done.
So I know this has been beat to death but...
Will I regret doing this?
Assuming I want a ICS Rom I have notice that they all have some slight bugs reported. Do I wait for the official Rom to be deployed, or do you think all the bugs will be worked out by the time it is released.
Also when it is released will it be able to be flashed.
All these Questions are for a noob to the Atrix.

Any and all discussions will help.
Please don't try to convice me just some input of your experience.
ie* your favorite rom, things you wish was better... why you unlocked the bootloader. ect...

Thank you everyone your all very helpful.

It comes down to if you are bored with stock or not. Personally I believe that all Android phones should have an unlocked BL. Sure most people are not power users like us, but the "option" should still be available.

Anywhoo I would highly recommend for starters to go with CM7after you unlock. See what you like and what you don't like and then give the ICS ROMS a shot and go from there... :)

How buggy are the ICS ROMs actually? I assume jokersax's CM9 ROM is the most stable. Is there a overview somewhere of what doesn't work on it? Or would someone be willing to list it for us? (The topic has 850 pages, so that's kind of hard to work through).

I'm considering buying an Atrix (European version) and I'd like to know if I'd be able to use the incredibly smooth ICS experience like on this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQvrEH74dgI or if the reality isn't going to be that sweet :p

The Atrix ICS experience these days is a very smooth & enjoyable one. The few bugs that remain are video camera issues, but Videocam Illusion from the playstore works ok. Still camera fc's once in a while but works upon restarting the app. Browser will crash when rotated, but works fine if you stay portrait or landscape. These niggles aside, ICS is great! Have tried Jokers CM9, AOKP & MIUI. Currently running Leo's AOKP, I like the added customization options that it offers over CM9.

EDIT: BTW, once the official ICS for Atrix is released, I'm sure all of these bugs will be worked out.
