Current have an Inc, Hoping to switch soon. Just wondering, how is performance in 3d applications and gaming? Specifically N64oid. Thanks!
-CM7 ADR6300
I don't have tons of info for you, but I can tell you this... N64oid wouldn't work at all on my fascinate, I could hear sound but no video at all.... Goldeneye 007 (the only game I really care about lol) plays on my tb, but it is a lil choppy, but the app is also very young so I think that has something to do with it....

True. It was also pulled from the market until the dev could improve it.
Would you mind trying Orcarina of Time? It runs about 70% speed on the Inc.
-CM7 ADR6300
I can tell you this, havenf played alot of games but this phone makes the dinc feel almost slow. And i LOVE the dinc. But the extra ram and upgraded processor really make for a flawless experience. If u are thinkibg about getting it. Do it

I have the 5 vibrations and blinking led issue on my Inc and the TB is definitely what I would get.
Thanks for the replies, guys!

Hello I just can say that I always tried to play the Monopoly HD game on my previous Android phones ( Droid 2,dinc,Droid x,fascinate,Samsung galaxy tab) and I could install but never open it until now with this thunderbolt so that should mean something I guess lol

Super Mario 64 Runs Smooth Too. The Graphics are good enough. Way better than old gen Snapdragons SoC for shure. better than Droid X and on par or Near Galaxy S from what people say (Seems bout right to me too). Also to guy with Fascinate, Games worked good for me on my old fascinate. Maybe it depends on game.
I'm coming from the inc, and the performance is much better. Easiest way to tell is by using a live wallpaper. They are much smoother now with the better gpu.

I too came from the inc. It's definitely better in terms of performance especially graphics. The extra screen size makes everything more enjoyable too.

Hi guys, im going back to android (had a G1 a year ago) from blackberry (got tired) and im getting two good offers on these phones, but since these smartphones are SO different to what i used to have (G1 xD), im kinda confused wich one is better, so i want you guys to help me out here, wich is one should i get? Vibrant or myTouch 4G?
Internet speed its not important since i don't live in a 4G area (in fact, there isn't any 4G coverage at all in my country), but i like to play games and stuff like that. I like my phone to be fast and with very little lag. I have read on internet that Samsung's Hummingbird processor its better than the Snapdragon proccesor that the myTouch 4G have, but, i don't know why, i keep reading on forums that the myTouch 4G is faster than the Vibrant...how is that possible? The Vibrant have more RAM, ROM (16GB Internal, the myTouch have only 4GB), faster proccesor, better GPU...well, im a little confused there too.
Any opinions?
Mytouch 4G. It has way more features and has a bigger community of devs.
Camera with FLASH! Trackpad. Front Camera. Metallic build quality.
With both phones stock, the HTC has 700+ mb of ram available and the Vibrant has only 304+ available. The other issue is file systems. The HTC uses I think ext4 and the Vibrant uses its home grown system of RFS. I feel the RFS system is probable the biggest issue to slow the phone down. I have mine rooted with custom rom that uses ext4 (voodoo) and it is faster with much better battery life then all the stock MT4G's that I have seen. If you are not going to root anything then I would recommend the MT4G or even look at the G2x. But the screen on the vibrant is killer
myTouch4G has 768mb ram, Vibrant has 512mb (about 330mb is available for Android to use, depending on the rom).
I'd say the MSM8255 Snapdragon is probably on-par with the Hummingbird in the SGS - the SGS does have a much better GPU for 3D gaming, though.
The Vibrant may have a 16gb ROM, but only 2gb is available for app storage, the rest is treated as an internal SD card.
They would both be great phones, but the Vibrant has the better screen.
I have a vibrant and my wife has a mt4g. I would say if youre going to root and flash roms get the vibrant, but if youre going to leave it stock get the mt4g. Both phones were laggy stock to me. Im much happier with the dev community for the vibrant though. I've flashed 6 or 7 different roms on the mt4g (including cm7) but none of them seem as complete as bionix or trigger

Ok, i forgot to say this, but im TOTALLY going to root the phone. In fact, is one of the mains reasons that im comming back to android (and here plays the song "Im comming home" by Dirty Money ), i love flashing roms, looking for bugs in new roms, the excitement of someone releasing a new rom (like Cyanogen), trying out weird apps in the market place and all that kind of stuff, i DON'T like stock phones at all...i installed OS6 on my Blackberry 9300 as soon as i got it, looking for something different (running away from stock), still was a pretty boring phone tough.
You have told me guys that both phones stock, the MT4G its faster, but what about both phones rooted? Should i get the Vibrant? Or even both phones rooted, the myTouch its still better?
EDIT: Also, are the Samsung Vibrant and the Samsung Captivate the exact same device? Under the hood, of course.

Both rooted running custom roms with no overclock my vibrant and my wifes mt4g scored within 6 points of each other on quandrant. I'd say it come down the ffc if that's important to you or super amoled screen (more important to me)

Thats a yes for sure. Every single moment im alone, in the bus or something alike. im listening to music.

Well, I absolutely love my vibrant. Plenty fast (q score 1600+), amoled screen rules, and camera takes amazing pix. Flash isn't an issue since I don't really take pix in the dark lol.
It has less ram, but its near impossible to hard brick from what I've read. I'd say go vibrant, and if you don't like it, flash back to stock and exchange for the mt4g.

My problem its that im buying it second hand, so its not as easy as i"f i dont like it, i just take it back..." So thats why i have to make the right choice, because oncei buy the phone, its going to be difficult to sell it again.
Well, I'd say that if you don't have 4g coverage, why buy a 4g phone. Its like buying a Ferrari when you live in Poland. Maybe not as expensive, but you can't take full advantage of it. Lol.
Do you have any questions about the phone itself? Not spec wise?

If you are into gaming, then vibrant hands down. Here are the things I would take into consideration.
1. Bigger dev community for the mytouch4g. I think most of the people with the vibrant will be leaving for the Sensation or the galaxy 2 if they have the funds. I am going with the galaxy S 2 myself. With that being said the development will dwindle down to nothing by the end of the summer.
2. There are great roms for the vibrant right now. Trigger, Bionix, and a bunch of stable 2.2.1 roms to choose from.
3. I don't know if a stable cm7 will ever happen for the vibrant. They have it working ok. Plenty of bugs, and bad battery. Also no 2.3 rom has working gps because of drivers. You will have to wait on a leaked 2.3 rom for the vibrant I think.
I love my vibrant for gaming. I have about 5 Gameloft games.. bogo for $2.99 . Can't beat that. And the phone handles them beautifully. I am running Trigger btw, just because I wanted a stable rom until I get the galaxy 2 .
I hope this helps with your decision, I know I rambled a bit. But I think i covered everything on the development side for you.

Cm7 runs fine for me. However, I don't use GPS so it suits my needs. Runs fast needs daily charge, but meh, that's what sleep is for lol

On top of what everyone else said, Voodoo sound on the vibrant makes listening to music through the 3.5 mm jack a dream. I can't go back now. It's just too good.
so it's been a few months since the last thread regarding how the atrix is.
I currently have a Inspire 4G and I'm debating on getting the Atrix.
You own it, I want to know about it! What do you think? Should I make the switch?
The answer to your question is entirely subjective.
Was it ever bad? Debuted a super phone?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
It was good when it was locked, now that it is unlocked it is turning into a behemoth. Just wait until you see a polished CM7 rom on this thing.
it was never bad, otherwise this forum would be desolate.
If you are willing to unlock and flash custom ROM, its a beast.
If you have to live with the stock firmware, there's probably better options out there, unless you really hate 4.3 form factor.
put it to you this way the locked bootloader was why alot of people didnt care for it but the bootloader can be unlocked now and the custom rom train is going to pick up steam, as some one else said cm7 for one thing
It's better than the Inspire that I owned.
Don't listen to what they say in the Inspire forums. The Inspire isn't the best AT&T has and the Atrix is a lot better than what people think. It's a very nice phone.
Not trying to put the Inspire down at all--I just know because I've owned both of them. The Atrix beats it and the Nexus S that I have...

Honestly, it was never bad. As a stock device that was incapable of installing kernels, it was good. I still found myself using my Captivate while the bootloader was locked. Now that there's ROMs and kernels available, I haven't touched my Cappy at all.
wow! I wasn't expecting that many responses so fast!
I want to root the phone, play ff7 (of course) and ENJOY the phone.
I put a custom rom on my inspire so I don't see why I wouldn't put a custom rom on the atrix...
Trying to get the inspire back to "out of the box" state so I can return it.
The only issue I have with the inspire is running fpse and ff7. little laggy at times. hoping the dual core will remedy the issue.
hell, it's the same price and you get more internal memory, hdmi cable, and a better CPU..

Atrix is the best phone i've used, honestly. I wouldn't trade it for anything, except maybe SGSII.
Sure, it has some bugs and issues at the moment, but those will be fixed or bypassed eventually. Atrix has a great dev community.

The only time my phone gets hot is when I'm using it with the car dock, where it's charging, playing Slacker/Pandora/Google Music, and sitting in the hot sun.
What would be a decent stable ROM that still includes most stock features, without MotoBLUR? I could give a crap less about 4G.
Stock just feels sluggish and stuttery compared to my Nexus S.

Are you looking for close to moto stock, minus blur, or close to aosp? If the former, I'd recommend Rocko or Shadow. If the latter, CM7.
On a side note, I always laugh a little at threads titled like this. At my house, I'm the tech savvy one, and my husband is usually lost, lol.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Nice. I wish I wasn't the tech savvy one. Gets old. But as far as AOSP or MB... honestly don't care. MB is going to have all the stock features, but she doesn't even use any Blur features.
I just want to put something on her phone that has a lot less lag, I suppose I could wait for the ICS OTA.

CM7.2 is an absolutely solid ROM. And its even still being updated!
Sent from my CM9 Electrify.
I'm using cm9 on my photon. with the overclock kernal to 1.4. it runs fast for me and it looks awsome.
[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team is kickassss!!! Really fast and stable and greattttt battery life! I get 25hrs on an average when i use my phone moderately... ie about and hour of wifi and some calls
I get a quadrant score of 3600+ lol and its super quick! Use it with launcher pro.. thats what I like as i feel it makes the phone super fast..
Alternatively, you could leave it stock and try a 3rd party launcher. I am currently using Go Launcher EX and it's really snappy.
Im just getting a poll. I might start developing roms for this again. Just post in the comments if i should. :laugh:

Yep! My daily phone since my Droid Inc 4G broke. Don't think I'm getting another HTC phone but that's beside the point. I'm using the Jelly Bean ALPHA CM 10 rom. It's extremely buggy. Usable, but extremely buggy.
Motorola Droid X2
Just got one for my wife on straight talk , running eclipse v 2.3
Just got 2 of them from my parents.
Upgraded the wife and myself from our OG Dinc's
Unfortunately it seems the Incredibles were better phones.
Even after rooting, running Eclipse, debloating and running V6 Supercharger.....these are the laggiest pieces of crap ever...
My wife says if she ever needed to call 911 she'd get on her computer.....go to the verizon website.....deactivate the DX2....re-activate the Dinc and make the 911 call on that....it'd be faster than trying to dial on the DX2....
But hey - the larger screen is nice....
Dan
better idea..
Or, instead of developing for this phone your self you could teach me how to develop ROM's for android and I could do it myself! :laugh:
I have newer devices for work, but I still use my dx2 as my personal phone.

Yes...do it for Tracfone Users
This phone is getting a lot of interest as an eligible BYOP alternative for Tracfone Android users. It would be great if someone could help folks like me find a decent, cheap phone that would work for this network.
Is the phone really as slow and doggy as some have mentioned?
Tracfone BYOP requires a non-LTE CDMA phone...users are looking for larger than 3.5 inch screen with more than single core 1Gb processor...any suggestions?
My X2 is still in use. Running Eclipse and working great.
That is exactly why I bought my dx2, except for straight talk byop. I've found eclipse to be the most stable and feature inclusive ROM so far, and am really enjoying this phone even if it doesn't have ics, jb, or kk. Especially like that it's on Verizon - best coverage hands down in my neck of the woods.

Where would be a good jumping off point for this phone? I have a friend who's stuck with it, and I've tried a few of the root guides but there's missing files, bad redirects, and just generally dated info. I just want to root it and probably put a slim rom, and by your review I'll probably go with Eclipse. I tried the zerg root but it threw an error that the phone was write protected. All help is greatly appreciated
