The RAZR community is a small one, yet we are spread unevenly across XDA, droidrzr, razrforums, and rootzwiki.

kholk is doing some magical things on XDA, like an overclock module that he needs help with, a leaked EU OTA, a new governor...but it's hard for devs to collaborate and users to get the newest most current information if we're all spread across these four forums.
these forums are sitting dormant (I don't know if you guys are aware of the XDA developments since they aren't shown here) while we wait for an SBF for US.
razrforums don't seem to be on top of things either, but has decent activity.
rootzwiki is a ghost town.

Can we please pull together and get our community more tightly knit? This is a serious problem.

+1 i'm in agreement would love to see some more love for the Razr if nothing else, have a sbf to debloat this piece.

I see what your saying, but don't think its going to be possible to bring forums together.. each forum is trying to do it's own thing and couldn't imagine closing one down to join with another...

I used to post on some of those sites but am keeping all my razr works exclusive to this site. Why? easier for me and i believe this site has much potential.

What does this forum offer that others don't?

Theme's (which i know there are a couple on xda now)
A small tightly knit, friendly staff that is very responsive and knowledgeable
A forum design and functionality that works great. (better than others ive seen)
Latest Info & news on everything Razr

We are not a forum that spreads over many devices. Droidrzr.com is dedicated to razr and we are trying to stand out from the rest.


So, with all that said i feel your pain. ever since i start posting my themes to forums its been a challenge. I try to stay on one or two forums because of the time it takes to keep them all updated yet i want my themes to be seen by the masses.

Droidrzr.com is here to stay and my theme's and upcoming mod's will probably always be exclusive to this site.

Could you atleast post around on other forums with your banner in your sig. Anything to remedy the problem, because honestly, it makes a device look bad when no devs are to be found on major forums. Most people don't even know droidrzr exists.

EDIT: And if any devs are reading this, kholk needs your help with his overclock module on xda.

I believe this forum is more focused on Verizon Droid Razr rather than international version

Because this website is world wide this is why we offer information for all, you never know when you have a Droid Razr master that is oversees that can provide plenty of assistance to those international users.

With that being said let all Razr users rejoice

Woah woah woah, I'm not undermining or insulting you guys in any way. I KNOW how talented you all are (...and what an SBF is >_>). I'm merely requesting that we get our RAZR community more tightly knit by either advertising this forum better or by visiting some of the other big forums. And I'm also asking you guys to get in contact with kholk since he's cranking out WebTop mods, OC modules, and stuff because he's EU and has fastboot files. That's all.

[Bignadad]

I didn't take it insulting at all.. i was merely answering your question and elaborating for other members that read.. I'm sure that's what dirtydroidx meant when he emphasized what an sbf was. not for you, but for anyone else that might read this

I'll look into contacting kholk but not on xda much these days.

I know what you mean with connecting the forums to share info, mods and such but not sure how that would happen.. I'll see if i can ponder it for a bit and see if i can think of something...

[(TSON)]

The best thing I can think of is getting something major done and branding it as "DroidRZR.com presents... blahblahblah" in the topic title and in the post.

Especially the SBF.

I like all of the razr sites!......but i love what is happening here, and what this could be...........

[drsuse]

I have been on a lot of sites... and honestly.. this one feels a lot more friendly and everyone is here to help. I'm not knocking any other site but this one IMHO is the right one for me. Its kind of like shopping at Walmart and then going to target. The prices are pretty close to the same but its more of how I am treated in there that makes me go to one or the other. I think it would be awesome to combine target and walmart.. but whose to say the "bad" experience you had with one transfers into another. Then you are stuck with one place and no where else to turn to without being talked down to and treated like you are a complete moron. Again this is just my 2 cents and I am not talking about any other site in particular.

Well I know that rootzwiki started up purely as backlash against XDA.They didn't like the MODS or something they were doing, not really sure. I've visited all the main boards and for my RAZR MAXX this one has the best overall community, ROMs and Themes.

I think another reason why people visit here often is because this site gives away dev phones. I'm still new here.. but that's still pretty sweet and if I was a DEV that would entice me a bit to spend time here vs other places.

But yea.. I'm a big fan of XDA and was a little sad to see the RAZR community there is underwhelming. I wish the entire community would come together as a whole so I don't have to scram all over the net.

Most other sites prohibit posting information from another forum in your siggy. I regularly check all of the major forums and I'm active in many. But, they do all serve a different purpose and appeal to other audiences. I've noticed that this forum is more open to modifications. That's why I always come here to see what new mod is going on. Razrforums is geared more toward newer Razr owners and we end up answering questions that I'd really be surprised to see here. XDA is great for developers who like to collaborate. Droidforums is a good overall forum for anything Droid, but it even segregates out by phone. Gotta be honest, I never go to rootzwiki. Also, you forgot Androidcentral It's geared towards all Android owners, but does have specific sections like Droidforum.

i have been thinking the same thing. While it is great to have a board dedicated to the Razr - xda can be a bit too big, spread out and GSM-centered - this board has largely slowed down. I log in every day to see if something new has come in, and nope. same ole posts in the same spots. Of course, the big reason for the number of boards is money. Everyone wants to run an internet site that is popular and get paid for it. I don't blame anyone for it but it would be nice to consolodate. I'd love to see everyone come over here and make this the place to be but that would be asking others to give up their pay checks. So I can't see this happening until the Razr's popularity dies way down. And from what I can tell, it's just getting started
