I just got fed up with my iphone and switched over to the atrix 4g. i was jailbroken and everything and i liked the customization i had. now i have the atrix and the standard motoblur sucks horribly. im not a social media person, so everything but the music player bugs me. I found a solution to this and it was a rom, but I already updated to 2.3.4, and all the tutorials I found were prior to this and said if you use this method you will brick your phone, and this is something I cant afford to do a poor college student, so if someone could be my savior and post a tutorial or lead me to one for the atrix 4x att 2.3.4 I would be forever indebted to you.
Check out the noob guide by swifkicks in the general section

I suggest you check out the Go Launcher EX. I have been using it and much prefer it to stock.

Coming from the iPhone, I'm surprised the stock music player also doesn't bug you. That's one of the first things I went looking to replace.

Title says it all. I know we already got a rom really quick but I was currious if atrix well ever get on the nexus one level with a bunch of roms and devs? Also will there be roms that remove moto blur?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Development for the atrix won't be quite like the Nexus, since that was a dev style phone.
Also, we don't technically have a ROM as it is just the modification of system files, and not a complete flashable package.
If a Nexus One like experience is important, consider the Nexus S when it comes to AT&T.
Can't afford and iI love this phone. I just want to rid it of blur or a less laggy blurr. will it at least get roms like the vibrant?

Try installing an alternate launcher like ADW, Go Launcher, or Launcher Pro (my launcher of choice) in the meantime.
Edit: Also, Moto said somewhere they will give us the tools in the future to really play with the phone, so only time will tell. If they ever keep to that promise, then we'll have nothing stopping us from really getting ROMs and Kernels out just like any phone with an unlocked bootloader.
Im sure were getting closer. I think we have quite a few developers working on trying to unlock it. Also, DG is working very hard at it too. Once it's unlocked we should see quite a few ROMs, kernels, and themes since it is atts first major android phone and the first dual core phone out.
Atrix4G Rooted!

i dont think its getting unlocked, according to some questions ive asked developers, it probably never will be.
jeebus i hope im wrong though. it pains me to have a phone that is locked down.

I currently have the incredible 2 and am thinking of coming to the dx2. With a little research doesn't look like there's much dev support for here or is that because its so new? Just trying to see if its a good idea and looking for a couple opinions. Thanks!

We're at the beginning of the cycle with this phone so I think that is the reason you don't see much activity yet. An SBF was just procured and some developments are starting to trickle out. I just moved from the original DROID and so far I'm very pleased with this phone. I've rooted with gingerbreak and am running the supercharger script.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Lack of dev support was due to a locked bootloader...we still have a locked bootloader but we do have a way into a custom recovery. It is just a matter of revs hopping on and making roms.
99% of the devs looking into this are prob passing it up until we get gingerbread so they don't have to make their roms twice.
Thanks, just read another thread and realized the questions were asked. Had same issue with dinc2 bootloader being locked but finally was cracked and am rooted now. Phone is great I like it but because of signal issues in my area Verizon is sending me a Droid x2 to try out. Dev support for dinc2 isn't that great either but got the main roms like CM7 and miui with couple others brewing. Just trying to decide if this would be a good switch. Thanks

Just went out and got my upgrade. thanx to all the devs that made this phone awesome for the time I had it. Going to give it to my wife since she lost her Android phone a while back so I may be popping in and out of here still. Condemned, ill be watching for your Rom for the dinc2 since that's what I decided to upgrade to. Thanx again guys!

i just updated to the Rezound as my phone, but still plan to keep my Eris around as a Voip house phone / htpc remote / mp3 player. Why stop using a perfectly good Droid Eris??

This! I am hoping to find a barebones rom and app setup to create a remote with.
Thanks!!
I'm piggybacking on this thread to thank all of the devs and co-Eris users for a great run!!! Call me a lemming, but I just activated my new GNex and am loving it so far in case anyone is interested in my purchase (not sure why you would be!)
But honestly, thanks to everyone for making my time with the Eris so great, your time and effort both with creating such amazing ROMs and for helping noobs like me to figure out how to use them to their full potential is appreciated beyond words!
I am right there with you Ozzy. I just got my SGN and it is a huge step up from my little Eris. I loved the Eris, but there is a lot more to love with the Nexus.
The Eris had great Dev support and I know that the Nexus will to.
Thank you for all of the help, support and ROM's over the last couple of years.

Rooting the phone is always worth it
In my opinion its the best phone on the market and the toms are ok now great like 4th bar sense I like a lot xborader and other are working on a very slow moving aosp ics but its the only aosp we have and but its all sense roms also bulletproof and energy are nice

Once you root make sure to install faux's kernel, its a significant battery booster!!

Hi mysticfrog and welcome bro!
Yes, The screen of the Amaze 4g is larger but not emolated (amolated?) and I've had no problems at all with Gingerbread nor with HTC Sense 3.0
The bloatware is there on this phone.
If you root your phone, it voids the warrantee btw.
The Amaze 4G IS slated for the ICS 4.0 upgrade & HTC Sence 3.5/3.6 probably in march. If not then your guess is as good as mine.
Insofar as ROM's are concerned, I don't know. As around.
Finally, You might want to reconsider this phone, as Google wants phone developers to come out with phones that don't have physical buttons!
ICS and Jellybean, I presume, are on phone which have physical buttons but the new Google phone only has on-screen buttons like the Iphone.
If I were you and I could wait till later on this year, I'd wait man.

WEll i can play with this one for 20 days.. from the specs it seemed like the phone to get.. i appreciate the input bro.. im just kinda bored with the sgs4g.. but having said that the devs over there are pretty awsome.. i just wanted a bigger screen and i didnt want a galaxy s 2..
I put NRG's ROM on to it. It is really nice, smooth and has many useful features!
If you wanna buy accessories, I'd recommend buying an Anker battery, a TPU case (i bought one for $3 on eBay), car charger and you should be good to go!
Alright guys I've got the amaze.. Im at work at the moment.. I just got one last question..
is the development of this phone going to slowly increase? Cause i do believe t mobile is the only one that has a phone of this juncture..
I've read ALOT on these posts were ALOT of people are not happy with the development.. Im not trying to get flamed for this question im just wanting to be with this product for the long haul and im just wanting to make certain that i made the right decision.. I've read the reviews all weekend so i do like the phone from that perspective.. Im just wondering about the development aspect of it all.. I just don't want to get it and then see devs leave for another product.. Basically how is the future development looking for this phone.. Thanks all.. Rooting this phone looks pretty easy btw.. I do like that...

If you're a crack flasher, then this device is not for you. I don't think development will pick up much at all... However, I say its the best device also. I don't need heavy development. NRGZ28 made a beautiful and EXTREMELY stable ROM called Energy. It's got all I could need.
Most people are salty about the device because they can't get s off so developers are backing out. We have 4-5 ROM developers, but the nrg ROM is the only one that's as stable as stock imho (but I haven't tried OneGoodROM or Bulletproof since the 2.3.2 update. A lot has changed since that release though.
If you're looking to flash a new ROM each week, then you will not like the device and you may have an addiction. If you're looking for a phone that has a few very stable ROMs to choose from, this is the device for you

Hi there
I am planning to buy Atrix 4G. I previously had Milestone which I upgraded to 2.2 and I was not satisfied with the performance. Random boots, hang (DSI error) these always occurred on that. I then decided not go for any Motorola device. But now I am again thinking to buy Motorola. So tell if there is such problem with aAtrix after upgrading to Gingerbread. How much you are satisfied with your device on daily usage. I want it as my primary (work & home) device. So please tell about its software reliability. Thanks
The ATRIX 4g is one of the most stable cells out there still to date and on GB it is still stable and extremely fast I highly recommend this cell I haven't had any kind of problems I'm using a international ATRIX 4g and I get service in places where non of my friends do even the ones using the same provider as me
If you found this helpful plz hit thanks

Thanks for reply
I know the connectivity is best in Motorola even my Fire lock GPS faster than my bros S in room as well as in open space. What I am scared is with random boots and hang which I faced in previously owned Milestone. I am getting little money from my brother as I don't have much to buy 1G ram phone. So I want a stable investment as I am travelling soon so I need a good partner .
Your reply was plasent to my eyes. My bro want me to get Galaxy R as its very stable he thinks and I feel. But I like the Motorola GB UI, it's very nicely built.
Did you had hang sometimes running apps or as such? How often are the hang/random boots?
I have never had a random boot even when testing my own apps that were no where close to being done and had it set to hard reboot(random reboot) if things went really wrong witch help show how stable it is so no problems with random reboots and I haven't once had any hangs on apps I suggest this cell over the galaxy R my friend has one and they are a good cell but even my friend is envoys of my ATRIX and to add the cherry my ATRIX scores higher in gaming and productivity then his galaxy R

As a previous milestone owner, I can tell you that the Atrix will make it feel like an old model T.
However, because it has eFuses, you can hard brick it with a careless flash. More easily than any smartphone I've ever had. Other than that, it's a pleasure to use.

No problem, I'll be stick to stock rom
Im pretty sure its 128mb decompressed and I fuighered you where wanting to run stock ROM the Motorola team has really pulled their socks up since the milestone and has been making some rock solid devices (dunno about tablet haven't used one...yet) I suggest getting a international ATRIX (vs AT&T) they are unlocked SIM and don't have as much bloat ware on stock ROM unless you use AT&T then you might want their bloat ware as you MIGHT use some of it to check your account but this is all downloadable for the international in the market besides if you really want you can root your device and force uninstall the bloat ware ie twitter or pvr remote.As you sead b4 tho you are traveling and that alone should be a large step twords the international ATRIX

Milestone was solid built. I felt proud carrying it in my hand. I never put it in my pocket when I use to go outside.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Milestone had great build quality but was crippled by insufficient RAM. At a time when other premium handsets were getting 512MB+, moto cut corners and put in 256 - d'oh!
Also the keyboard was atrocious, how could they get the KB so right on the budget dext/cliq but mess it up on their premium phone.

I just got this phone (ATT) 75$ with a new line. I Hope to room and use custom roms, but seems like can be a bad thing if dont know what your doing, i rooted and mess around with old phone HTC Inspire 4G, i did fine on that. I am scared after reading some of the forum posts, but i hate all the bloat ware that comes on stock phones. maybe some one be interested in walking me through it via teamviewer, and talking. I would give a few dollars for your time. you can add me to google, [email protected]
If all you want to do is remOve bloatware, then just root and use titanium backup to uninstall system apps. That's safe and easy.
If you want custom ROMs, then you need to unlock the bootloader, that's where you need to thread very carefully.
