There's really no reason not to other than maybe warranty problems. It adds a little more versatility to the phone.

Perhaps we like the phone? Also maybe we don't want to sign a new contract with verizon and don't want to shell out big bucks for a new phone at the poor of contract price.

I have yet to find another android phone with a form factor that I like as well as the Eris. It fits well in my hand, the buttons are placed nicely and it's a great size for me & my tiny hands. With it rooted & OC'd it runs how I want. I also don't have it on a V contract, I have it on PagePlus and only download & stream when on WiFi saving me ALOT of money.
So I have a great smartphone that does all of what I need, most of what I want, and it fits me perfectly in form and function.
And that is why I still own an Eris.
Didn't this Guy already post a thread like this elsewhere.

Because they are rediculously bad ass considering you can get them on craigslist for less than $100 in some cases.
It was also a VERY popular phone so there are a lot of goodies and rom's that have been developed.
And it runs Froyo very well. So the only things a new phone can do for an Eris user is really more proc and RAM. And I don't really 'need' those things right now.

I didn't repost this thread. A moderator must hasn't done this. Maybe they want you to really think about why you like your phone. I loved the Eris. I just have moved on to bigger and better things. My logic for asking the question was not to be a smart a$$, but to suggest that other Eris owners make the switch. Sorry if it offended anyone. You will not see any more posts from ME in this forum.

Roms

Hi all, I have a htc aria with att, and I was offered this phone to get tomorrow. I was wondering if there are a lot of roms on this phone. Because I was browsing through the atrix android development and I just saw a bunch of mods. Also if you can tell me if this phone is worth it?

No custom roms yet but soon.
Thanks for the quick reply, so do you think I should get this phone tomorrow?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I personally do. My last phone was also the aria. Even though the aria had custom roms this phone stock blew it out of the water.
I also came from a attn1 liberated aria. The atrix blows it out of the water stock and now that the bootloader its unlocked its going to blow everything away. Personally the webtop hack has saved my ass many times at work with presentations. I gave my wife the aria, now she wants a atrix.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I had an Aria and gave it up quick for the Captivate. I like the Atrix better than the others hands down! The roms are coming soon we just now have an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks, I will more than likely get the atrix tomorrow! , so I will be entering your forums
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Atrix is the path! I'm sure u already know that unlocked bootloader is just the tiniest first step, maybe the devs need some time, but i'm really sure the results will worth all the waiting.

Thinking of moving to a Motorola atrix

Yeah they suck stock..
Who here isn't going to root it and install a custom rom though.
The phone itself is pretty damn good.

yeah moto stuff is pretty locked down..
they cracked the atrix though
A Friend of mine here got one.
On Stock, it really sux, but the last update removed all the "Blur" crap.
The Kernel can be Unlocked also, and there is a few custom roms (But a good part doesn't recognise the Dock OR the fingerprint sensor).
If i was you, i would wait sometime. Nexus Prime and a few other phones are about to be launched. (And speaking frankly. The Motorola design trully sux, lol)

I agree with lord Baal here, but the atrix is great if your with ATT, you need a updated phone now, and it has a very low price at the moment if your ready for an upgrade.
The phone itself is very fast once modded. Look at my cm7 pics in my profile of the atrix in my profile. I have some stats ran by cf-bench that are amazing and pass a sgs2 if your running cm7 beta.
I believe the atrix is right next to the sgs2 in every category. Don't count this phone out. I would of waited for something better but my x10 was too slow for school things I had to do so I bought the atrix. I am glad I did.

I used to love this feature in gingerbread. Can anyone please please try to make a mod for this on the EVO LTE. Thanks in advance if anyone can.
Sent from my EVO LTE using xda premium
I don't remember this feature in gingerbread. I thought it was only in custom roms... Either way, I'd also love to see this.
From what I've gathered, it's in the works. But, the devs are having problems with the coding? I remember one discussion of the code being present in Gingerbread but not in ICS.

It was a built in feature of gingerbread, was even one of the things they demonstrated during the gingerbread presentation. The reason you may think it was special for custom roms is that most carrier stock roms disabled it for whatever reason.

it is built into the galaxy nexus
Which is pretty much what I said. Nexus devices use pure google builds, free from carrier molestation.
So does anyone know how to add this?

Or it could be that they found it doesn't work well with sense 3.6 and up so they removed the ability to set it up. Not every company is out to get you and take away all your freedoms.

Idk, I did read they removed the 3D Rosie to make it "lag less" instead of actually trying to code something a lil more functional. Lotta work goes into createing it from ground up n all, but that's apple idealistic laziness for idiots right there....

Thinking of rooting - Sprint

What's a rom that has good battery life and speed? Also need stability but understand there will be bugs on most roms. I hate the laggy ness on stock.
What recovery is recommended for installing roms? This is the Sprint version. Oh and I need a rom with 4G working, I don't have Wi-Fi at home and 3G on Sprint is a joke.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
My understanding is (and Im stupid) 4G is lost when you unlock but if you dont have it anyway, why care? 3G is a joke and i rarely use it!
As for recovery, look for me "I F'ed UP" thread. you loose everything, but you get your phone back!
I am in a area where I DO get 4G wimax. Is there a decent rom that has 4G working?

Assuming you are still on 2.3.4 and not 2.3.5 you can use mofs rom. Its generally a stock rom but you'll get 1080p camera, some bug fixes, notification bar toggles and much less lag. You'll just need to root, install bootstrap recovery, and flash it.

Ever since updating to 2.3.5 I've noticed battery life that's better than ever. And the lag can be rid off of simply by choosing a different launcher from Blur. Like Go or ADW. IMO.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
I am actually on 2.3.5 and I put go launcher on last night. So far it's cool, better than stock blur. I was hoping there'd be a decent rom out but I understand having locked boot loaders really sucks. Thanks for all the helpful replies!! I really appreciate it!!
