So the iPhone has an awesome app called GrooveMaker, and after searching and trying a few Android versions that claim to be similar, I've found nothing but disappointment. I've tried ULoop and a few DJ models. I'm wondering if it'd be possible for someone to port it to the Atrix or find something that is indeed much more functional and downright as cool?

Hello ive brought the motorola atrix and i think its great but im afraid it has some flaws. Using a live wallpaper with golauncher gets everything laggy, the browser speed is awful. In somethings its lightning fast in others its even slower than other weaker phones. Im using the at&t atrix with the latest OTA update. Ah i forgot mention the touchscreen bug in games so called raindrop protection. I want to know if other roms like cyanogen mod would fix this issues. Because i cant believe they say that tegra 2 is better than an ipod touch 4g and in browser its slower. And will atrix ever recieve ice cream sandwich? Official or not? And i would be able to use webtop on cyanogenmod? Thanks!

I'll try and answer some of these questions.
1) You should try using a custom kernel first of all, you should notice a huge difference in speed
2) Try using dolphin browser hd or opera browser and im sure your browsing experience will be much better
3) The atrix will receive ice cream sandwich for sure. Motorola is bound to release it for the atrix if it comes out before next july (which it will) as per the google handset agreement. The only way the atrix could not get ICS is if the hardware didn't allow for it. But the hardware on the atrix is better than the nexus S, and since that is getting ICS we are guaranteed our update.
4) Webtop on cm is being worked on
Thanks for the reply, ive been using dolphin and it is faster indeed. But yet not even close to ipod one. About the custom kernel can you point me to some instructions how to install it? Which relation it has with a custom rom? Thanks

iphone and windows phone have hw acceleration. makes for better browsing and smoother everything. helps tremendously with battery too. hardware acceleration is something android is severely missing. let's hope ics brings it. it would breathe new life into even older phones.
Did the guys at google said sonething about it? I was hoping a stretch to fit feature so games with lower resolution would fit nicely and work too in bigger phones like atrix. I miss order & chaos so much :/

Opera is lightning. It has hw acceleration

I came from an iphone 4 and I love the ATRIX,
Then again I had many tweaks running lol but anywho try a custom rom, its like owning a whole mother phone now
I came from a Trash Zte Racer and an ipod touch 4g, and atrix is like the sum of their good parts. but in comparison to ipod touch i miss the game compability, display detail and speed =/ i dont think android is ugly nor "not usser friendly". its very intuitive too. ill try opera mobile. to see what it says, i just hope ICS brigs all those cool features plus the Android 3.0 and 3.1 features. I hope it be as tasty as a Real Ice Cream Sandwich. I was thinking abou custom rom. but nobody told me the diference of a custom kernel and a custom rom. and i'd like some features of atrix like the webtop, so ill wait a bit more till the cyanogen is stabilished to move to it.
Im tired of hearing about no rom support and no support in aftermarket (video calling ,ect) for our moto phones..i think it time for the moto "apb" phone users band together to help each other as they share much in common and in problems..
Thoughts?

actually the binonic uses new internals ergo its very different.
*tear* was definitely a good idea though...

then how about a "Pho-Trix" or "A-Tron" group ??
the atrix and photon share some commonalities, no ?
well most of the kernel code and tricks can be patched over, but as far as sharing, not so much. like on the g2 you can use dz radios kernels roms etc.. we wont have that due to the radios. hell even the nexus s and nexus s 4g cant share roms and its the same phone, just with wimax and cdma.
While Im aware their are MAJOR differences beween the atrix - photon - bionic (including a diffrent CPU in the bionic from the atrix & photon) there is some things in common ...
From how Moto locks to the the "webtop" and docks these phones have... to whatever we find in common.
Bottom line I just think we need to leverage whatever we can find in common ever if in just to group together to twist Moto arm on things or the after market support (It tick me, things like that not one of these phone is supported by skype video chat or even on a list to be supported)
These three sure have more in common than they do with HTC or Samsung phones
We have in common having some of the best hottest harware out there and we have in common a lack of software support for that harware
Unite and fight to unlock their potential. Im tired of HTC and Samsung trash talkers
Dont think this is possible, but just a thought. I seen a video of the Atrix 2 and the new UI looks awesome. Very fluent and smooth as well. And with the ability for HDMI mirroring, this would be of definite interest.
Problem is, Atrix 2 is using omap and we have the tegra 2. Im not sure if there are some hardware specific settings/programming/kernals etc.
Just a thought peoples so dont chew me out lol. When the Atrix 2 gets rooted it would be interested to see the system dump file and compare it with ours. Maybe Moto actually upgraded the webtop and made it quicker.

Maybe there would be more of a "skin". It just depends on how many people want it.
For me I would probably still use LP just because that's the best Android experience since Vanilla IMO...

why port Atrix 2 ROM, which is Gingerbread... Im more interested in flashing ICS to our beloved Atrix Would that be possible (via the marriage of Motorola and Google) im crossing my fingers.
I saw some videos 3d MOTOBLUR carried the Razr at the Milestone 2, anyone know if they will carry for the Atrix?
What....?/
Razr and milestone3 motoblur is much better than atrix motoblur.. Very fast and smooth even using live wallpaper....
Why that? Is a new motoblur version??? Is the cpu of these models better than tegra2???
Is it possible to port to our atrix?
Been asked many times without an answer. If the op could provide the video link of milestone2 running razr u.i , we can track and manybe find an answer.
im sure im not the only one who would LOVE to have a brand new iPhone for its minimalist aesthetics, plus all the slick cases and docks and such out there, but successfully running the nerd-core Android OS.
now im no software dev, so ive been looking around at Chinese iPhoneys trying to find one that runs ICS, to my dismay. i have found a few solid looking alternatives which are running (i believe) MIUI'd versions of 2.2.
so what im getting at here is, is there anything going on for these devices? from the looks of it they can be had for under $150.
lots of looks but no replies.
could there be other interested parties? i'd chip in for a chinese iphone for the devs
