Vanilla android - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to.strip it down to where u get a vanilla android experience . I was watching G2x video on phonedog and damn I had no idea the Tegra 2 was capable of that. I am running greyblur and its nowhere near what I saw

Not until the bootloader is unlocked will we be able to load anything else onto the Atrix

That locked bootloader is stabbing my Atrix with no end in sight....

I agree I hope they crack this bootloader wide open, and I like the greyblur rom but I want more out of this phone.

i dont trust lg for solid products or support for some reason.

If you can I'd suggest contacting Motorola support about this to let them know that there are lots of people wanting to be able to do this. See this thread for info:

Good call on it now

I very much doubt you will be able to buy a dev/test phone from any authorized retailer.
I don't see why anyone would get a dev/test phone unless it somehow, accidentally got into a batch of Retail phones...........
Chances are if you don't already know then it isn't a dev phone.

[Question] Im recieving a vibrant 4g as a gift

Is there any custom roms? Or should i sell it and keep my vibrant? I was looking at the 4g forum and it looked pretty dead. Anyone know if its compatible with regualr vibrant roms?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
from wht i know its not totally compatible!
So there arent very many roms available? I want the ffc and 4g
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
then keep it stock and enjoy the ffc and 4g...
So there are no roms for the 4g?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Not really. Doesn't seem to have any active developers.
The lack of developers is what's keeping me from getting one.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Think i should go with the new or the old one? Im getting it for free so i dont know

You keep saying you want a custom Tom for the galaxy s 4g, and we keep telling you there really aren't any nor is there an active development community for it, and you still keep asking the sake question.
If you want custom roms, stick with the vibrant. If you want ffc, 4g, and no custom roms, go with the sgs 4g. Pick your poison.

Fyi : Krylon learned to port vibrant roms to the galaxy s 4g

Yeah, he posted how to, but he's not developing for it, so it's up to other users to do the leg work, which people aren't stepping up to do.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you get one, i could port roms you want over from the vibrant. Just pm me the rom you want and i will port it.
I would trade it for a G2 or Galaxy Tab (if you get lucky). Or just sell it on ebay. Just avoid the Mytouch 4G since you are out of warranty if one of the slews of issues with that phones occurs.

I'll pass, tablets aren't really my thing. And, I'd rather have a g2x than a g2. G2's are kind of wack. Im just waiting for a phone that really blows me out of the water.

[Q] Netflix.apk & Froyo

Any chance a netflix application that works on the fascinate GB leak will work on Froyo for fascinate?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The non altered market apk works on GB, so you need to get GB if you want it.
No **** sherlock.

No, won't work. Next time don't ask if you are going to be an asshole when you get the answer.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
im sure anything is possible..... i dont think it will come from a dev though, probably Netflix.
I'm flattered but, nahh man, I just don't like people saying exactly what I say it different ways. Its not just pet food its food for your pets

Motoblur vs. Motorola UI

why does the bionic and DROID x have an updated Motorola UI vs. the atrix's Motorola blur. The new ui has more animations and a different app drawer. will we ever see this update?
Its still Moto blur technically. Motorola just changed the name. And they'll never all look the same. I mean the orange gb looks different from the att one in minor ways.

Doesn't matter, they both suck.
I hope Google uses "Vanilla" on all future Googlorola phones...

Not gonna happen. Google already stated they'll operate separately. No google interference

I hope Motoblur is toned down in future phones. I like the stock experience better.

What to do now

I've flashed peetr_s hybrid ROM and the ICS theme. I'm on locked bootloader so what now. What else can I do to this mopho.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Well what exactly do you want to do?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I'm not sure what my options are. I'm on locked bootloader. I'm open to any suggestions.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Your options are limited, but there's a lot you can do. You can load any blur based rom and tweak the system settings to get more out of your phone than was available under stock. A good resource for you is the photon compendium by Lokifishmars:

There's a lot for you there even on a locked bootloader.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I'm still a noob at this so I'm sorry for the questions. I've read throught that thread but I don't see anything. I did get another theme from there but if you don't mind what kind of tweaks are you talking about?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
There are some awesome webtop hacks there, my favorite being the one that lets you use webtop with a hdmi cable in place of the dock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20331690
And there are others. You might want to also try looking around in the Atrix forums for other tweaks. I'm pretty sure that a lot of them will work for our devices. Use google to search instead of XDA's search. It works a lot better, especially if you don't know what precisely it is that you're looking for.
