Let me tell my little story.
I started messing around with Android phones a long time but I have never been on a better forums than droidrzr.com. I had been dying to put out a ROM or a theme or something for the RAZR ever since I got it, but never really felt like it would be appreciated. Then I found this site. Since then I have put out 2 ROMs with 2 more in the works and a theme, with more in the works. This site has been my home for a little while and will continue to be home. Vantenkeist (Lenny), Mattlgroff, DDX, andlaw and countless others have helped make me feel right at home here at droidrzr.com.
Now for the sob story (because you know everyone is gonna have one lol). As many of you know who are in the chat room often, I am set for my 3rd deployment in August of this year. As a lot of you know (because you serve as well), you don't make a lot of money being in the military which is why I'm entering in this contest. If I had the money to buy some of this stuff I would, but since I don't, I would like to be considered in this giveaway. Thanks for everything that everybody does here, I love this site and I love the people here.
Oh and I have a Regular RAZR, not the Maxx.

rear end a few times. i do boatlifts for a living. which bascially means i work on or around the water constantly. sometimes boating a lift to a marina can take as much as 2 hours pushing it with a jonboat.
I've had my motor die several times while doing this and have been floating on the water for hours waiting for someone to be nice enough to tow me in. 3 times this has happened and 2 of the times my battery had died,
usually about 6 to 7 hours into the day. sometimes i forgot to charge them the night before or just normal usage. my maxx has yet to drop below 30% and have gone 2 days on one charge. but the main reason i have deemed this the
greatest phone i have ever had is because, about 2 weeks ago i dropped my phone in the lake. I was freaking out, mainly because about 3 months ago i dropped my sgsII in lake texoma in about 20 feet.
Took about 5 hours to get home ,get my scuba gear, get the tanks charged and go searching. i found the phone (dead of course) and put it in some rice hoping it work come back from the dead. nope just sits in the drawer now.
back to the razr i recently dropped, bascially did the same thing and retrieved it from the lake about 14ft down sat for a day and a half in possum kingdom lake. did the rice thing and after 1 day I'm still using the phone. no water
in the lcd and runs like it did before it went swimming. now this may just be a very super lucky situation, and maybe 99 out of 100 times it would be dead or severly water damaged. all i know is it is alive and doing well here in texas. best phone ever. everyone on this site has posted some very useful info. I use to live on XDA, now i just i just visit. My new home is here, and everyone here seems very willing to help someone else out. and when i do
run into a problem i know you guys will be here. Thanks in advance . chris (Matts utility has already saved my rear end twice now)

Now my phone wasn't due for replacement until August this year. I was given a Droid X by work so that I could be on-call and keep up on company emails. Since receiving my phone, my company got out of their contracts with Verizon by offering to pay our bills if we would take over the contract. No problem. I still had grandfathered Unlimited data!
Two weeks after my wife got her phone, fate would have it that my Droid X decided it didn't like booting anymore. In retrospect, I bet I could have fixed it. Instead, Verizon offered to allow me to upgrade my phone early instead of providing a replacement Droid X. "Dude, I got a Razr!"
So the moment I got my Razr, I loaded it up with apps and spent a ton of time bragging at work about it. However, a coworker suggested that I might be able to get a custom ROM and do some unique things with my phone. Enter DroidRZR.com!
I spent some time in the chat room trying to feel out what the state of the ROM scene was for the Razr. Instead, I found a very active community that supported each other whole-heartedly. Mattlgroff spent a ton of time creating utilities to get new users into the latest and greatest software hacks/tweaks that were available. Others, like spc_hicks09 spent a huge amount of time creating content for us to continue to explore and dream about. Others, like VantenKiest, assisted with troubleshooting and correcting those of us that fell into the trap of doing before reading. The community at DroidRZR.com has really enhanced my Droid Razr experience.
Since joining the community, I have...
...rooted my Gingerbread Razr (Thank you matt!)
...updated to .79 leak (Thank you matt!)
...bricked my phone by draining the battery without a valid system loaded
...built a jumper cable (Thank you sidgrafix!)
...got yelled at for hours for risking a $650 phone by doing things to it that were not covered by the warranty (Thank you, dear! I still love you!)
...bricked my phone again installing a ROM and subsequently fastbooting into a bad system (Thank you VantenKiest!)
...updated to .206 leak
...updated to .208 leak
...bricked my phone again trying to get to .209 leak and draining my battery again!
...built my own factory style cable
...updated to .209 leak
...played with custom ROMs, including KOA ROM (Thank you spc_hicks09!)
...generally enjoyed good company from enthusiasts that don't take it for granted that the Razr is what Motorola and Verizon tell you it is.

I first and foremost apologize ahead of time for any "run-on" sentences. I have a diarreah of the mouth problem. lol
When the Droid Razr started showing their flashy new commercials at the end of 2011, I knew I would make up for the first time around in the late 90's or early 00's when i couldnt afford one or for better explanation, could'nt afford the service activation fees with crappy credit, and rush out and get one!
Now, I have/had a Droid X and in my opinion, as my father used to say, was the best phone since "sliced-bread". But, again, this was my cahnce to finally be one of the "cool-kids". and get the Razr before everyone else. Or at least, around the same time. Lol.
Since buying the Razr and the "old-School" Lg flip-phone that I had to buy from a pawn shop in order to add a third line at verizon so i could upgrade early, I havent set it down. I don't care what anyone says or how many other bad a++ phones have been released or whatever since the unveiling of the Razr, again in my opinion, Motorola has the better phones(despite bootloading issues) that are available today on the market. I neer "rooted" a phone or heard about the concept or even had thought about it but, thanks to this site, and this site alone, and no; I am not "brown-nosing", I quickly received all the information to do so and to just see how far down this particular rabbit hole goes.
I am technically what you would call a "crack-flasher". I have flashed every available rom and theme that is available for my cdma version and I love them all. It has been a while since ive been employed and i know you said no negativity but this thing has practically helped me from making up some imaginary friends and talking to myself in a corner somewhere. Lol. I love it so much that I am on it until the time I wake up until the time I go to bed. My girlfriend has just given up on me when it comes time to hit the sheets. She knows Im out in the living room watching Adult Swim, simultaneously flashing new roms and themes and playing and downloading apps, and reading the new and forums on the DroidRzr.com site. I actually have been at a crossroad about whether to return to college and get the damn degree everyone said I was going to need years ago, so two weeks ago, I applied for the ITT in Denver and will be atending in the fall for... Software Development. In turn, the Droid Razr, the developers of all the sites, and the crew here at Droidrzr.com and friends, lol, have kinda, in a way, just opened a new chapter for me in my life.
So hell yea, thanks Droid Razr, thanks Motorola, Thanks to all the people with coffee, cigarette and other addictions that stay up late at night, like me, pissing off their wives, bf etcc,, and battling grueling hours of providing nothing an awesome +++++++ source of entertainment to people like me and everyone else. I speak for my girlfriend and I( who bought a razr too) ,when i say, keep em coming. We get another upgrade in a year or so. Gracias

This site was the goto site for all things razr for me. Just about every file i needed, or link, related to razr i got from this site. Big thanks to Matt's utility for making rooting easy
Sadly i had to part with the razr and it was like losing a close friend . I got the Gnex and I like it and have no regrets but, dont beat me for this, I MISSED BLUR. Yes i know its the anti-christ and something is wrong with me
I recently bought a Razr Maxx and glad to have blur again, missed my hd dock station a lot. Currently enjoying stock waiting on official ICS to hit (hopefully within next two weeks, yeah right ) so I can startup again with themes. Maybe sooner

No big story per se. I started rooting on my X2, after owning the X, then got the Maxx. This site, with the links to others, and my paranoia about killing my phone, gave me the courage to attempt rooting, flashing ROMs, and applying themes. I also have learned the courage to do my Xoom, a Nook Tablet, a Bionic and so on - by using the knowledge and experience on my Maxx, from the great folk on this site. I believe my Maxx is the best phone I even owned and unless a new phone has a similar battery, or makes me breakfast in the morning, I am just not that interested. Thanks to all here!
And last, I have the means to get all I need for my phone. I have a great case, cables and I really would not use the dock. NET: Please enter me for the contest and if my name wins something, please donate my prize to any miliary member - starting with SPC Hicks. I have a Marine kid, and an Army kid who will also be heading again to the sandbox in the near future. My hat is off to all of our youngsters standing between me and the bad guys. This is a small way to say to say Thanks again. And knowing my sons, any thank you is well deserved.

Started with the OG droid... got the balls to root it and put a rom, was kinda good at it, so i started helping some others at the time... Then i helped this guy who lived what seemed like across the world. Well obviously the conversation didnt stop at helping him with his phone Traded my OG droid for a DX, that is what he had, and my OG took a poo. So the talking continued, but battery sucked! And we couldnt even video chat, no front facing camera! So the wait for a good phone to come out to upgrade for was on.... The Gnex was "the phone" all the devs were getting, but i am a moto girl, i cant help it. The Razr was ooook but not worth my upgrade, then i heard about the Razr Maxx. But i knew i wouldn't carry around a stock phone, so i stumbled across this site to see what i could do with it if i got it. Im pretty sure i joined this site before i even had my Razr.
So anyways, got my Razr Maxx, and YAY i can video chat with my "guy" who lives thousands of miles away! (of course he got a Razr Maxx too) I rooted and romed my phone first, cause he was too scared, and just like old times i walked him thru all the steps
Who knows, we might end up having a droid wedding one day
So thats my story... thanks for reading.... Oh, and i hope i win something!!!

Oh, I almost forgot-thanx to this site & its many geniuses, I had the Maxx rooted & custom rom'd before I ever made it home from the VZW store. I've tried the custom roms but I actually prefer the stock Moto look/feel so I'm currently rocking 206. I want to upgrade to 209, but as soon as I do 210 will be here.
Thanx for reading my post & thanx to the great devs here that make all this possible!! Also, thanx for letting me be part of this awesome community.
Razr Maxx FTW!!!
p.s. I'm currently trying to convince my bro-n-law to ditch the girlphone & step up to the big leagues, so if any of you know someone that wants to trade a Razr/Maxx for an iPhone let me know.

My company was getting upgrades for new phones, and my Droid X was looking a little rough these days. It's fully functional, but it has a black circle burned in the screen. I had two choices, not pay anything and keep my unlimited data, or buy the Razr MAXX. I didn't have much money to spare, but I bought it, and it was one of the best decisions I've made in my phone purchasing history.
I'm always used to purchasing Droids off of craigslist, mainly because I was on a family plan and couldn't buy them outright then. So, I'd venture to a gently used one. I've had a touch-screen enabled device since the Compaq H3600 ( ).
Let's get to why I love this thing.
I've always had decent battery life on my Droids. They'd last me until anywhere from 7AM-4PM in medium use. Which wasn't that bad because I'd always have a charger with me, and always used my Droids as my mp3 players in my car (That's what my DX is now). So, in plain and simple english...the MAXX's battery life ROCKS. I can go for 30-40hours on a single charge with the same use (if not heavier sometimes)! With the new ICS leak, I've been able to multi-task like no other. I love holding down the home button to swipe away open programs, or disabling 4G when I don't need it, or having Smart Actions set when I walk into my office at work. I'm a battery-sipping ECO-friendly guy when it comes to my phone. So whenever the phone isn't being used, I have a smart action set to help not use so much battery. It's amazing.
I couldn't have gotten to the ICS leak without some really talented and helpful people on here. I jumped on the chat room one day to see about getting some help, and it's crazy how willing they were to help. They took me through the entire process from Fastbooting back to 181 so I can load 79 ICS. Then, when I had messed something up, they helped me get from 181 to 209, and never ran into any problems since. Now, ever since they took me through the tutorials and ropes, I'm on chat just about every weekday talking to the guys and helping people out. This community is awesome.
Here's the list of people who have helped me out:
mattlgroff (Matt's Util)
razorsedge (helping me in chat)
boxermansr (helping me in general)
2tealth (helping me get to 209 from 181)
majormer (helping me in chat)
echew (helping me in chat, and helping him out)
VantenKiest (helping me unbrick my phone)
TSON (helping me in the forums)
spc_hicks (helping me in chat, and helping him out)
and probably a few others I'll add on later. All these people taught me what I know about my Maxx, and without them, I'd be surfing through the depths of the forums instead of being able to post this. There is probably not a whole lot of people who I've helped so far, but I intend to help as much as I can.
BTW: and correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this contest be 6/11-6/18?
P.S. I have the Razr MAXX

After 2 years or so, I moved from the slow, unbearable device to the droid RAZR when it first came out. my country still does not sell screen protectors or covers till this date, devices is getting quite beaten up, scratched corners etc. one of my retarded friends even shot a staple bullet using a rubberband at the kevlar of my phone thinking that it is actually bulletproof.
I had a very great time using my device, Rooting, flashing thousands of roms, decided to settle on the Black Widow Ics till Moto decides to get us some ice cream.
I also hacked the apk of S-voice (from GSIII) and made it work on my phone, I also installed GSIII's TwLauncher (after 2 hours of editing files)
I love this community, and appricate all that help you guys have given me, I have apperently soft bricked my phone like, 7 times.
There was one when I had to cut open one of my usb cables, and screw the ground and red wire under the battery screws and charge it (obviously having to take the back cover off).
Now, Singtel is jumping onto 4G LTE and lowering my 12gb plan to 2gb D': I wonder how I will live with such a small data plan.
Overall, I would like to thank all the awesome people that helped me and all the other people in the community
Oh by the way, I would love to win that black RAZR case, my country still does not have any stock for screen protectors and cases D:
Thanks

Edit: what do I have to do with the twitter thing? I don't get it...

This was my first Android phone. I have to admit it was difficult at first to figure out all the ins and outs of the phone since I came from a blackberry. Thanks to this community, I now know everything there is to know about my razr and more!!! This community from the chat room to the detailed OPs to the supportive admins, devs, themers, and members has become like NY Android family and I truly appreciate everything the community has done for me and all the other members.
