I've wondered that same thing but I don't know. In my case, this has been the best phone I've ever had when you consider what the ROMs and such bring to the table. The only reason I have half an interest in a new phone is because 3g is slow and the screen is relatively small.

I'm on the Virgin Mobile grandfathered $25 plan... so, unless there is a better phone I can upgrade to while keeping the same plan, I'm sticking with my Awe.

I am now using a LG Realm from Black Friday in addition to the AWE. Unfortunately there is currently little development for the phone.

Id be happy if one of the KK roms got video working... I put lollipop on my Nexus 7 and it lagged like crazy.

Yes, I did the same with my 2012 Nexus 7 and had the same issues. Really downgraded a still pretty decent tablet to something you can buy on Amazon for 75 bucks. I haven't looked a ton into it because I've still got my Awe and a PS4 thats occupying my time now but I'm sure we could revert back to Kitkat or JB if we wanted to. If I remember correctly though, root has to be done with a CPU (no SD card spot) and what has held me back from delving farther in is EW3, a game I put 100s of hours into, won't allow rooted players.

Not sure about the rooting thing, I do use a PC. If you decide you want to go ahead and root it, I found a Lollipop ROM called Dirty Unicorns; I've been running it with the Lean kernel and its quite smooth now, which is surprising because its not even F2FS.

I just heard that Motorola released the Moto E for Virgin (apparently only available at Wal-Mart). Looks pretty decent. Comes with Lollipop out of the box. On-line reviews are mixed, but for the price it looks like an awesome phone. Anyone heard anything else about it?

Are Motorolas notoriously hard to root?
