No I dont mind you asking. We all come here frequently for advice and to learn more about our phones. I believe that to be the true nature of this community.
The kits themselves were running between $60-90, with the difference being that some came with tools and some not. I found a few people around that would do the job for between $125-155. In the end I went with the fastest one and wound up only costing $115. Incidentally I saw what looked like some dust particles under my screen so I wound up taking it back in a second time. The guys were very good about blowing the dust out and making it right.
Anybody who wants the shop contact you info can PM me....

Cool stuff. $115 done in an hour. Sounds great to me. I wonder if you can get them to upgrade the screen size or type. Wouldn't mind having amoled or ips on my bionic right now even if it needs to be 4.3

Changing the screen type on a smartphone is not as easy as just taking the old one off and putting on something else like an amoled on. There is firmware, software and drivers that need to be updated if even available and they are not related to the OS but to the phone hardware. Graphics on smartphones is handled by the graphics chip.

Do you have the latest drivers? You may want to try getting help in the RAZR area. They'll probably have more insight.

Huh? Razrs_edge_windows is not a razr thing. It's for bionic. Latest drivers are required.
Oh they're asking for razr on Mac... Yea you need razr support... Never mind.

Not yet. You can go forward, though.

Someone could find a particular bug in .235 that they can't live with and would want to go back to .905, or if they have to send their phone in for warranty repair before the official OTA comes out, then they'd need to go back. Also, as of right now being able to go forward is still theoretical. It will likely work, but until that OTA comes down, nobody will know for sure.

The theory has been used on other phones so it's more than theoretical. It's how things were done for ICS leaks on the D4 and RAZR.

Thought for a second I had read another post wrong and was again offering unhelpful advice.
