lol chill out its just something i like in the iphone you hype as ****....funny tho

It's a good question, and no one is asking how to make it look like iOS, leave this man alone.
HTC phones do it stock, not sure why this one wouldn't, might have to flash a ROM when they release some.

If you tap in the text box it should bring up a cursor with a a pointed tab that you can drag. It doesn't magnify like the iPhone, but you can actually read stuff on the note anyways, making that feature unnecessary.

[REQUEST] Droid 3 motoblur ui on the atrix!

Anybody up for the task to port over the droid 3's ui on to the atrix ill help if needed.
Heres the ui differences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emiu1DRu_NQ skip to about 4:43 to see it.
Probably faster for you to just buy a Droid 3!
Jus' sayin'!
Gingerbread for the Atrix is out Officially. That has the same UI as the Droid 3 unless you mean the effects that it has and the different widgets?
That's exactly what I mean and the lockscreen and if the DROID 3 was on AT&T, "4g", and could video chat I would have already bought it

If you don't know what you're talking about and you're going to say our ui and the droid 3 ui is the same get off the thread because you're wrong and should really investigate before you open your mouth, now if anybody has some helpful advice go ahead and post.
people need to open there eyes or something xD the ui is different, it is more fluid from what i could see. different app drawer (it scrolls side to side) different lock screen. etc. different widgets as well.

Lol, my bad. I watched a diff. video and it was the exact same as ours. Calm down. The droid 3 does have a modified launcher, too. But from what i saw thats the only thing different....if we can port over the launcher, youll have that. Idk about the lockscreen though. That may be a little hard to port.
Edit: oh, and the widgets, too

You also don't have to be so offensive. People who contribute make this site what it is. Its just a logo. Calm down bro. Go make a better one if this rages you so much. hah
Not sure why I have to make my own logo to have an opinion on someone else's when they ask for it.
If we're playing the eye-for-an-eye game, how about this -- the logo was offensive to my eyes first.
I'll leave this conversation now, I've said all I needed to say on this.

What a ****in dickhead. Your a piece of ****
Haters gonna hate.
From my MIUI'd Evo3D
Here's my piece...again this is constructive criticism because I respect the work effort u put forth unlike some jackass on here.
I would:
a) Change the font to some'n more readable. Also, the current logo reminds me of XXX movie logo, so you don't want this to get to Hollywood and they'll sue you for infrigements (pun-intended to Apple *cough* *cough*)
b) Due to current font used, I can't tell the D and the A, so might need a little design work to make it more stand out. Also, seems like Orange-Yellow is the official color of the logo on XDA. So you might want to jive with that.

My first Theme---PurpleDase

With the help of many from this thread and some people that i sent pm's to that took the time to help me out (waaaayyy to many to list)and some people that i kanged a few things from(mayfield's weather icons,eg&jeffs dialer, and a few icons here and there(cant remember where their all from, so if you see something that i "borrowed from you please tell me and i'll give proper credit).
I decided to release my first theme(so NO it's not prefect, yet), and there may be a few green items i missed, but here she is let me know what you think. Its based on warm 2.3 but should work on cleanrom 2.9 and up. screen shots below. As i learn more i'll update more and add more colors and icons.
*Items still needing work*
volume controls
progress bar
probably more i can remember right now
(Please be kind first theme and no i dont know everything or anywhere close to it)
So here is my theme PurpleDase
if your using TRWP 2.0 i have a Purple theme for it that matches my theme(thanks teamwin, and li duce)just remove (xxxx)leaving ui. using root explorer go to sdcard\TWRP\theme* place it there and when you reboot in to your recovery its there
*(you must make a theme(lower case) folder inside TRWP folder)

I think most people, myself included, just didn't understand what you were asking. Your question was worded in a confusing manner and I can't speak for everyone, but I just don't know what this "frequent text" thing is. I don't see anything like that in the stock messaging app which is why I, and probably others, just couldn't help you.
All that being said, I don't think (most) people are necessarily being malicious in their sarcasm but just making a little joke so don't take it too personally.

Ok say you want to send a text you press the icon the click on menu and click on group and it will show frequent or type a name that you normally use and it will say frequent next to name
Okay, now I see what you're taking about. I think I can safely say I never would have found that on my own. I think I can also safely say there is no way to remove that. It seems pretty embedded in the app but someone more knowledgeable than me might be able to figure out a way.
