Will it ever be possible to port the motoblur from the droid 3 onto the atrix? i noticed that on my friend's droid 3, motoblur is muuuccchhh smoother and fluid than the one on the atrix.

nope. i am running 2.3.4 kenneth's release and its different. if you look at videos of the droid 3, you will notice that the lockscreen is completely different, the homescreen's scroll in 3d manner like sense 3.0 and the app drawer scrolls horizontally. its also much smoother than the 2.3.4 motoblur for the atrix.
First of all, official final GB for Atrix isn't out yet. You should wait for a couple of weeks to see what Motorola releases. I see no reason why they would release different versions of Blur for Atrix and Droid 3.
Second, we don't have that many custom ROMs yet. From what i've seen the priorities are AOSP and CM. I doubt devs will spend much time on blur roms before we have any of those... since many people hate blur.

Photon 4g blur is far superior to the one on the atrix is anyone currently porting it or developing it for Atrix?
Blur. I cant wait til blur is a blur in my memory. Ewww.
I voided my warranty.
Whats the difference?

Faster, prettier and a few new things in the app drawer
Why would you want a berly different blur when were getting faster better roms than that?

did you upgrade to gingerbread on the atrix? if you did, then they will be the same.
Scores this is ridiculous. The newer things in the app drawer are sprint apps, wow. Honestly? And get cm7.

Umm sorry meant Droid 3/ Bionic
BTW I was running froyo when I made this thread
Wow I just looked into it and the NOT motoblur on bionic looks very nice, definitely better than the one on the Atrix. I'm still waiting for MIUI though - it's even nicer... Also the Webtop adapter looks amazing too.
UPDATE:
The web top adapter is just a way to make us pay for something we shouldn't.
I heard that ice cream sandwich its getting hardware acceleration. why haven't devs put this in a rom before? Too complicated?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
It would mean that the ics would have a Kernal that allows acceleration, the current kernel doesn't allow it
from my finally liberated X2 roaming the north
I figured. Have devs implemented hardware acceleration on phones with an unlocked bootloader?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Haven't seen or heard of it on GB. Probably isn't quite possible yet as the phones are already pushed just about to their max.
If moto or VZW (who ever is blocking it) gives us an unlock, I will pay full price for a returned phone if I mess it up!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Never, phones have alot more to go. Ever wonder why the iPhone is much smoother and faster even though we have faster processors? Hardware acceleration. Android lacked it, until ICS.

actually, Cyanogenmod 7 and touchwiz 4.0 both support hardware acceleration and that's just off the top of my head. i'm sure there are others, but none are availible to the droid x2

I saw a post for the Droid Bionic and Droid 3, recently. It is the "[Alpha4] Ics4Bionic Preview" thread on the droidforums.net forums. I can not link it here since I am new and have less than 8 posts (search it on Google).
In short, they both got an Alpha version of an ICS ROM. As far as I know, neither got the ICS OTA update yet. And, as far as I can tell, both still have a locked bootloader. Still, they seem to be running an ICS ROM with Android 4.0.1. How is this possible? Without a bootloader, we don't have the ability to load a custom kernel, right? But then, how did these devs load Android 4.0.1 (aka ICS) on the Bionic and Droid 3?
Also, I was wondering, if Moto and Verizon don't plan to show this phone some love and release an ICS OTA update, can we still get it somehow in the form of a port by some dev?
i honestly don't get all the hype of Ice cream sandwich
does it improve the camera quality? video camera quality?
battery life? flash performance?
bring GPU acceleration to UI?
i haven't heard any of those but somehow people gets excited on seeing their number going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5
atleast thats how i see it. peace
From the buzz around the Net there are a few devs working on ICS ROMs for the X2. I'm not entirely sure about a leak or port of the fw, but I know from nitroglycerin33's twitter he has been working on a re-vamp of the Eclipse ROM with tons of ICS touches and tweaks. So look out for that.

The hype is gpu acceleration and the new user friendly ui. ics on the droid 3, even though nothing works, is the smoothest rom out for it

I haven't. heard any tegra 2 phone that is confirmed to get ics
Akaik, droid 3 is using ti omap4 which has different gpu than x2
If thats the case, then it is possible that x2 wont have gpu acceleration seeing no tegra 2 device is confirmed to have.
Even atrix 4g which is heavily marketed and have twice the ram of x2 isnt confirm either
Which would make ics kinda pointless
I am more interested on the blue hue camera fix and camcorder autofocus for x2 more than anything else

It is possible to get an ics rom but we have to be patient. A few great devs have been working hard on getting a working 2nd init and have been very successful. Its really only a matter of time. Although we might see an ics rom, it wont have all the features of ics.

Exactly, stuff that really doesn't matter though, like the on-screen buttons, I think would have no place on a physical keyed phone like the x2. Motorola, if they are planning anything at all, should have it announced at least by January.
I don't think we will get an official update to ics. Just a ported rom. Essentially it would just be the updated ui and maybe a few performance tweeks. If you want to get the full experience of what 4.0 has to offer, you will have to get a phone built for it.

According to engadget, Google has just released chrome for select ics devices. I expect, nay DEMAND a port to my DX2 in 3..2..1..
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Looks pretty slick.... ics only.... I assume they will make a version for gb phones.
Sucks it's ICS only. Any ideas on why it took them so long to get the ball going for this on Android? I assume ICS got the first release because of hardware acceleration, but you'd think they'd have a previously working version looooong ago.
Does anyone have the APK? We can try and install it anyways...

All the more reason for us X2 users to ***** at Moto/VRZ to update our phones!!! Google needs to take a stand with the manufacturers and carriers over this.

It does not and will not work without some serious hacking from what I've been told.
It does not work.
Heh, it started for me on my cm9 galaxy tab but then forced closed when i tried to search.
Since engadget said SELECT ics devices it wouldn't surprise me if it only works on.. Galaxy nexus for now..
*edit* my mistake, they do NOT specify select ics devices just 4.0 in general.

That's because ICS was a major upgrade from Gingerbread, especially at the kernel level. It was more of a rewrite than an upgrade.
Hence, this is looking for ICS libraries. It's possibly also looking for an ICS kernel which we don't have AND won't have unless Verizon decides to release ICS for the X2.
We are at the mercy of Verizon on this one.
Remember, CM9 will still have the GB kernel, not an ICS one since we cannot replace the kernel due to the locked bootloader. Again, at the mercy of Verizon AND Motorola on the locked bootloader.
I've been waiting for Chrome on Android for the entire time I've had an Android (about a year and a half). I just came across an article about on another website, read the whole thing with excitement, and then shot a baby when I read it was only for ICS. WTF?! That's very disappointing to me. Any thoughts as to why they did that? Maybe because it's beta and wanted limited exposure at first?
If they just now started working on getting chrome out then it really doesn't make sense to release it on gingerbread and ics. I would expect that it would be released for their newer os rather than the one that is going to be phased out. Maybe once they get all the bugs worked out they will release a version usable on gingerbread, so phones that won't be updated, or even new phones that aren't as powerful as the phones sporting ics, will be able to use it.

I've been able to use it on my ICS Xoom, and let me say, it is amazing. Comparable to the PC version in terms of performance. I think we should be able to use it with CM9, whenever that is released.
Adobe isn't supporting flash anymore for mobile devices so that makes sense

Because we are stuck on the gingerbread kernel, CM9 may not work unless Motorola releases ICS for DX2. As stated earlier, apk needs libraries from the ICS kernel. The only other option is to hack the actual apk.
Hi all, I was playing around with my brother's Atrix 2 and was pretty impressed with the styling of Blur on his phone. I'm pretty sure they came out around the same time, would porting the UI from the Atrix 2 be possible at all? How would one go about doing that?
