Nice job getting this news out. I just saw it and came to post it but you beat me to it. 

[rickw]

thanks guys for quick posting

[tucstwo]

Although users should heed these warnings, let me emphasize that this does not mean you have to stay away from stock based ROMs. If you're running a stock based build, the developer of that ROM should be updating it soon to stop OTAs from happening. If they don't, a quick google search for "how to stop yourOEMhere OTAs" should help you tremendously. You do not have to stay away from stock based ROMs, just make sure you disable the ability for your device to download an OTA and you'll be good.

Indeed.

If anyone has a Razr or Bionic and could definitely let us know which apk has to be removed, please let everyone know. I personally don't remember.
