Main question is if the atrix even has a native japanese keyboard I can install? I've seen some zips for japanese keyboards for other phones like the htc diamond and some other samsung phone, but I'm not sure if they would work on an atrix.
And also, I've got my phone rooted via gingerbreak with the gingerblur 3.1 rom along with the hulu,webtop, and mirroring hacks. If I ever wanted to go back to the stock rom from att how would I go about doing that? And if its alright to remove the battery?
This is my first phone android phone (previously iphone 3g jailbroken) and I've had is less that half a day, so I'm still rather new to all this.
japanese: you can download many japanese input methods from the market. i like "Simeji". it has romaji input or short-key dragging input.
stock: you have to flash your phone back to a stock SBF. search the general forum to find links and instructions.
yes, it is perfectly fine to remove the battery whenever you please.
Are there any that are native to install?
Thanks for all the info! It really helps
bring a "native"app really doesn't make any difference, they all install and function the same.

Swype Voice Input Button Coming Soon – Already Present On Samsung Galaxy S And Motorola Droid X
Is this true? Is there a way to get to voice input from the Swype keyboard? If so.... I can't find it.
Edit: I posted this to the wrong forum. Mods... Please move it to General or Development.
unfortunately the easiest way I found to do it is to press and hold on the input line, click "input mode" and then select the Android KB. Kind of a pain, but it works in a pinch.
I am curious as to where that info came from. Would that function have been removed on the T-Mobile version for some reason?
Its not on the Captivate either. But it IS on the Droid X.

Well, they have it for other phones so you could potentially pull it from another phone (such as the Droid X) and drop it onto yours
If you search, you will find posts by me detailing how to do it. I even fixed some colors to make it easier to use. You pull it from an EVO rom dump and overwrite the one on your phone. Simple. I don't feel like typing it out again.

We can't upload it. XDA has banned all Swype APKs as they got threatened by the Swype company. So you need to find it yourself. It's really not that hard, google will turn it up. It kind of sucks to have to download a ROM dump for a small file, but that's copyright for you. If you look hard enough, you should be able to find a copy of just the APK on Rapidshare or similar. It seems people post them frequently enough.
Ask the Swype people to quit being morons so we can share the files directly. Or to just release a version for the Vibrant. It's not like the phone can't support it, I use it all the time. They probably want TMobile to pay more for that feature or something like that. It would be nice if they would just put it in the Market and let users choose to pay for it themselves if they want to.

Posting swype is against XDA forum rules. I have used the above mentioned swype with both stock and oc4 kernals and not had issues. What I had to do was change the default keyboard to something other then swype, ADB push the new swype file, run the no yellow metamorph.
Hi there, good afternoon.
This might be already answered, but I just wanted to be sure if it's possible or not.
I've recently bought an X10 Mini Pro, and updated it to 2.1, but it still doesn't look like I want it too, so I was wondering this...
Is it possible to take the OS off from this phone, trim/clean it, and put it back to the phone as I want it without all the junk and with the apps I really want on it?
If this is possible and has been answered many times then I'm sorry to ask again, please just point me in the right direction/post and I won't bother you all no more, many thanks
Well you cant take the ROM of yet etc... but you can use root explorer to delete the stock apps that you don't want.. [Need Root]
Check these links out:

Hi there,
Well, that will be much easier that what I had in mind
Thanks for the links, I've had a quick look at them and they are quite interesting, only 2 questions pop up in my head now...
Will I be able to update my phone with future updates if I root it?
If I root it, can I get rid of the stock launcher forever and use something like Launcher Pro or Helix instead?
Thanks for the answers
Yes and yes
i do what the peopples are telling you , with very pretty results, but i just dont delete the apps, i replace them with other apks, example semchome.apk (default se launcher) with the helix apk (saved as semchome.apk) the same with the keyboard (save keyboard pro apk as se keyboard apk), and eventualy really remove useless stuff like se play now and games demos... its pretty similar to a clean rom now, regards

Well, many thanks to you all for the info, appreciated.
I'll start immediately reading on how to root the phone, I hope is not too complicated to do
Or you can just change your phone to a Spanish generic build (you probably have a Vodafone one), update via SEUS and you should have a clean phone.
The one advantage of this is that if there are future updates, and you use SEUS to get up to date you will not have the junk installed on your phone.
Regards.
Hi there,
How do I know what build do I have? I bought this phone new from eBay, and it was supposed to be locked to T-Mobile, although it came unlocked and without anything from T-Mobile in it, or nothing I can see anyway
I don't see any application apart from the basic Sony ones, and a couple of games, but nothing that tells me this phone is from T-Mobile... it'd be great if I could know somehow the build it's in it, so I can check if I could get a cleaner one
Thanks.
Hello guys,
I have been reading this forum for quite a while and found a lot of useful information here.
So, first of all thank you to all the guys who put some hard work in developing those programs to make our lives and our smartphones better!
So here goes nothing. Just got this LG Optimus LTE phone some days ago.
And it is packed full with apps I don't need and that Docomo prevents us to remove them. Thanks to this the batteries goes bye bye even faster than expected.
So I would love to get root access to get full control.
like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376233&page=6
I read some threads, followed some methods -like 4 or 5 different ones- but nothing worked so far... Anyone who had success in that matter?
Really want to get an Optimus LTE (L-01D) but need to know I can root it first.
type this URL in your browser: i can't post links yet. logsoku.com/thread/anago.2ch.net/smartphone/1324176244/
these guys seemed to have tried everything. Scroll to #45, doesn't look like the Japanese version can be rooted.
they tried a bunch of things as well but to no avail.
I'm just curious, but the reason why I want to root it is so that I can get the nook app on it so I can read. I was able to use VPN to download apps on my HTC Desire HD, but when i got the Arrows Tab LTE, i wasn't able to use VPN to get the Nook app. is it possible with the Optimus?

I don't use this app, so that would be a tough question to answer.
Thing is, since docomo pretty much installed and configured the phone as they liked -with a crappy Home, slow as hell, that can be changed though- I am wondering if they would charge you extra for tethering.
They might have installed something to check on that. But this is just a random guess.
After a lot of research, I found this thread:
h t t p : / / houchi.net/products/l01-root
I tried and I successfully managed to root my phone following the instructions.
Heads up, it's all in Japanese BUT, if you just download the archive file and read the content of the files at the root of the folder with a text editor, you can just copy/paste the different instructions to make it work.
If it's too much trouble for some people, contact me and I will try to put the instructions somewhere else in english and with the Mac version of command line (really the same as for Linux).
Did not have time to have fun with it yet, but I removed some of the crap that the carrier bundled with the phone.
I will still have to look why it takes forever to start comparing to a Galaxy S for example (4 minutes is way too long...).
i tried and not successfully, only install Supper Use. You can explain for my by English, more more details
superuser wont work without root, try gingerbreak?
My wife has an Atrix and I have a GSII. She likes my Samsung keyboard and a couple other apk's that are on in my phone. Can I use those on the Atrix or is there a compatibility problem?
Also, any suggestions on the best keyboard? Her keys seem so small.
From some research, it looks like installing these type system app is a little difficult. Any guigence would be appreciated

Keyboards will definitely have a compatability issue, most others will as well

There are plenty of alternative keyboards on the Market, there's even one that let's you change the keyboard skin and sound to resemble that on the SGS2 or even iPhone. I don't remember exactly which one was it but I think it was Ultra Keyboard, Keyboard Pro or Go Keyboard. Look it up on the Market.
For the other APKs, I'm not sure which apps you are referring to.
Cheers!

Try different dialers. There are a ton in the market. As far as I know, you can't change this behavior in the default dialer on a stock Samsung firmware.
Sounds like you want it to work like an iPhone. I'm not trying to be combative, but if that's so, why did you get rid of your iPhone?
You could always try installing MIUI, that ROM seems popular with ex-iPhone users.
The only way to get what you are talking about is to root your phone and install a custom ROM that is themed to how you like and has different mods to change things such as the dialer.These things cant be changed if they are stock.There are enough ROMs around to suit everyone.The hardest part is finding the one you like.

Take this for what it's worth... you're entering dangerous territory. You said yourself you are new to Android. Installing ROMs is not trivial, or something that should be taken lightly. I see more threads than I can count started by people who need help getting their phone working again because they blindly started flashing stuff when they really had no need.
And your only complaint at the moment is how the dialer functions. Why don't you slow down, and try out some dialer apps from the market? There are a ton of free ones. I know I suggested the MIUI ROM above, but I think this is better advice.
Lastly, ICS is still not officially released. Any ICS ROM out there right now is either based on a leak (and therefore full of bugs and is probably less than stable), or really a Gingerbread ROM themed to look like ICS.
thanks ctomgee
i try for some dialer, and i wait for official ics for s2

ICS is still in beta stage and giving advanced users problems so if you dont want to root and flash a custom ROM(GB not ICS) them maybe on the market you can find a 3rd party launcher while you wait.
