[Q] Possible to get Sense mail client on the Atrix? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone had any success in getting the Sense Mail client (which feels much better than the default android one) installed on the atrix. Wanted to know if this was remotely possible and worth the time trying to make it work.

Is that your way of telling me this thread is in the wrong forum? If so, why not just say that?

The mail client in 2.3.4 is IMHO better or as good as sense mail. Finally.!

Request: Motoblur!

I don't know how possible it would be to do,
but I played with some motoblur widgets on my buddy's Cliq, and now I'm jealous (i'm a social networking junkie).
Understanding that MOTOBLUR is still Android 1.5/1.6, is there any way to set up a partial MOTOBLUR integration into a ROM, or a MOTOBLUR skin that includes the widgets (and some program to log in/sign up to Motoblur?).
I found and pushed some .apk files I found around, but without any real idea what I'm doing, it was pretty close to 100% failure (with the exception of actually getting a couple of icons to show up in my app drawer - that's about it).
Is there any other interest in this? And will this be easier once the Cliq and Devour get 2.1?

I really want to see MotoBlur too! Hope you can make a motoblur rom!
if u want the skin theres a ton of ways u can go about it.
from what i kno theres about 4 home replacement apps that offer it.
one that i personally tried is for GDE..its ok,nothing to write home about. Not the skin, just the look..its a bit too kiddy for me.
as far as widgets go, check the hero forums, its been discussed.
sorry man

I tried to port 2.2 sense but I'm missing a few drivers and I have a motoblur rom sitting on a hosting site if anyone wants to take a crack at it. The radio on it doesn't work (no cell, wifi, bluetooth) so you can't get past the first screen, but touchscreen, buttons etc. all work. I ported it from a gsm rom.
Sorry about the mishap

[Q] Netflix App

hi all I was just curious if anyone knows if the new Netflix app is working on the Thunderbolt or not. I assume it would but the thunderbolt is not listed on the netflix web site as a supported phone for this app, even though 3 other HTC phones are listed and are older tech than the Thunderbolt. I tried to install it but they want me to start an account with them first and I'm not opening a Netflix account unless I know for sure this will work on My thunderbolt. I'd appreciate any information anyone has on this,.. thanks!!
there are hacked netflix APKs out there that work on the thunderbolt
I thought it was only working for cm7?

I appreciate that,.. now next,,, 4 things,..
1. what's the best way to Root the HTC Thunderbolt
2. how do I install a ROM, never done so before
3. can someone link me the cyanogen mod 7 forum where I can download the files for it
4. Can someone link me where to get the APK that works with Cyanogen mod7 for Netflix?
oh and 5th... thanks!

The Netflix app will not work with any ROMs based off the official Thunderbolt RUUs as of now.
I was so mad when my boyfriend's Incredible would stream Netflix, and my newer Thunderbolt WON'T. He doesn't even use his phone. He fixed it so he can use wireless tethering..and uses his ipod touch! That's what made me so pissed off about it. I actually want to be able to watch Netflix on mine! Maybe one day soon =(
yeah This fairly well annoys me as well.. I purposefully bought the highest end phone I could find with the latest technology and it can't run the netflix app while the older models can,.. sounds kinda backasswards to me... really bugs me
Would love to have this working. Til then I guess I'll just have to use it on my DX

If you are rooted you can trick the app into thinking you are using one of the phones that are listed. I think i read about the trick on android central if i find the link i will post it.

Don't think so, so far its only working if your running CM7 I believe.
Has anyone on here used CM7? I loaded it one day and nothing really worked on it. I couldn't get on the internet or anything... sounds like to a waste to run CM7 just to use netflix
Netflix does work on cm7 and will be supported on the thunderbolt soon. The reason why it wasn't initially is because the phone is new and Netflix didn't have time to test it on our devices. Just give it some time and you all will be rewarded.

My understanding is that they are waiting til after the Revolution comes out to activate it for LTE phones. Its one of the selling points of the Revolution so it will probably be exclusive to that for a month or so. Just speculating though.

Would it be possible to put windows 7 Mobile on the 'bolt

and what would it take to get it running if possible
No. Too much time and effort, not enough resources etc.

Not at all easily. The hardware doesn't meet the specs to run it. This is a really odd question, but not a bad one.
I mean if you want to your HTC thunderbolt to look like Windowz 7.

why not? Same screen resolution, processor is on the list. Not sure what specs that don't add up.
Had a hd7 and must say I would love a wp7 lte device.
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
Is it possible? Theoretically yeah, but so are lots of things no one does. Has someone asked this same question before? Yes, and they didn't get a better answer .
The biggest issue would be the drivers for the lte radio working and the interface layer for the radio. Other big issue is finding some one that cares enough about windows on it and had the knowledge to do it.
Will it happen? Probably not with this phone.

i believe its possible, theres a dual boot for it although 4g might not work. i dont see it not working for the tb
It's far easier to go from a windows device to linux than linux to windows, since those with the know how are used to dealing with migrating the windows device world to linux, but not linux to windows (since they generally don't want to do that).

Turn my Fascinate into a mini tablet for my children?

SO i just got a GSII for xmas and I want to pass down my old phone to my children so they don't bug me to let them play with my new phone all the time
Can anyone create a rom package for me that would allow them to only get on wifi, play games, and surf the internet?
If not can anyone give me some instructions for how to disable calling and data all the time?
Thanks,
when the phone is deactivated it can no longer make calls or use data. It will only be able to use wifi to do everything you need. Its like an iPod now.

Deactivated phones can still dial 911... That may be an issue for some people.
I know on the Eris forum, someone came up with a script to disable the CDMA/EVDO raidio and the dialer app.

I can make a rom. Just pick the rom that you want (MIUI.US, cm7, cm9, etc., or even stock)

xboxfanj - I'd like to do this also. The ROM version doesn't matter to me. My daughter wants to use the phone as a media player. If you're willing to help out with this, THANKS A MILLION in advance.
Please let me know if you need anything from me.

Miui or touchwhiz is ideal for a children. Cyanogenmod is too advanced and or ugly looking.
I have 2 that I am wanting to do this with and would love this!!!!!
Why couldn't you just use root explorer to remove the phone.apk

I think that might mess up the market access...
You can also put a PIN on the phone functionality. Not sure if this only applys to GSM phones, but under security - there is a Set up SIM card lock.
Edit: hmm yeah, don't see it on the fascinate.

easiest way to do it would be to deactivate it and then either use a custom launcher to hide the apps, or get a locking app and password protect the phone and whatever else app. then you don't need to have a custom rom or anything and you still know the password if you did need to access those apps in an emergency.

[Q] I want Visual Voice Mail gone! Possible to be notified w/o?

If I remember correctly, I wasnt notified of voicemails when I had the hero and evo after removing the vvm.
Is there a way to remove the visual voice mail from the evo 3d AND still be notified of voicemails?? I dont want it constantly running. Id prefer to use the phone system like I did with my nexus s 4g.
Any way to make this happen? Thank you!!!

You can remove it. It's located under system/app. You can use titanium back up to remove it also.

Oh that I don't know. I know I replace the app with Google Voice which is better IMO. I'm assuming you don't want that option though, right?
I guess what you can do is back up the app, and try it. If it doesn't work, reinstall it.

Nah. Id use my mobile number as my gv number if I get into it but I cant see how it would benefit me...I usually ONLY do data and sms with my mobile. Calls and VM are rare.
Ill definitely bookmark the guide if you got a link for me...
I had the HeroC, and I remember the days when VVM wouldn't provision correctly on CM7. But I would always get a nototification SMS from 9016 that I had received a VM.
