Nope ..  every change comes with its, well changes ... the update works well, although yes, a few things have changed or were eliminated.  YMMV

Several things were removed; here's the changelog if you haven't seen it:

Release Notes - DROID RAZR/ MAXX - Software Upgrade - 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)

An alternative to the speed dial feature is to use Direct Dial widgets.

Others have noted a decent replacement APP :  Direct Dial, but put them all in one folder to not clutter your screen. 2 taps and call is made. Same number of taps as Speed Dial was.Seems to Work great.  Good luck.

Another option is to use the Favorite Contacts widget; also takes just two taps to make a call.

There's always this alternative, although I think you called it "cheesey" in another post. 

Rings Digital Weather Clock - Android Apps on Google Play.

Yea, I just tried that DIRECT DIAL widget ... don't like it - there's no way to preset FAVS in the widget ... it just grabs you're recently use (most used?) numbers from RECENT ...  I'll take a look at the other one (FAV CONTACTS).
