Not all Roms are supported on Razr because of its file system and locked bootloader. You can Wifi hotspot hack, install Roms. Install the Razr M Launcher and Circles Widget. Other than that not much use... For a normal user.

I agree. My major reason for rooting is to hack hotspot. Every once in a while maybe flash a ROM but I think those days are over because none of them seem to work out for me. The best ROM to use for best battery life IMO is the stock ROM hands down. Plus I don't really understand the governors for the CPU if they have that option and I just never see a difference except in draining my battery quicker

Oh, ok. Well the Wifi hotspot hack, Razr M Launcher, and Circles Widget are all things that I'd be interested in. Do I find the Launcher and Widget just in the Play Store?
Also, by rooting, am I able to get rid of some of the bloatware (such as SmartActions) on the phone?

Okay... Smart Actions is not bloatware it is a key asset to controlling battery drain and functionality of the phone.
There are walkthroughs for the Hotspot hack, and circles widget. I say look for them on the forums here. You can remove bloatware. I suggest Titanium Backup from the market its a key almost have to tool for rooted users. Also Voodo OTA root keeper. Sql editor lite also from the play market.

Question does it make backup before removing the bloatware because if a apps is needed to be changed for an update you can end up screwed?

[sl4sh3r]

Yeah you can back up apps and settings there's a whole bunch you can do theres a the one touch optimizer and a section for removing apps. Tools section for backing things up its free in play store

I downloaded and installed SafeStrap, and then attempted to install Eclipse 1.5, but it didn't seem to work. Any ideas as to why? I followed theinstructions for installing it that are here on this site.
