Hiyo all !!
Actually I was just curious if there is some kind of version upgrade on Motoblur (oops Motorola's application platform to be exact) between that of photon 4g than other moto qhd devices recently launched like that of bionic , droid 3 and the sweet droid razr.
I am sure almost all of you who have seen both device might have found that there are some minor changes like horizontal paginated drawer on droid 3/bionic versus vertical continous that of photon and some extra widgets in d3/bionic's version.
These changes doesn't matter much to me, but one thing that does matter is that MAP (or as well can blur) on D3/bionic seems much seemless,swift and lagfree to me then on stock photon.
This got me curious if ther is a new version of MAP on these new devices like Razr/bionic and if it is , is there any way to port that from these devices and get on our beloved photon.
Can some of the dev's investigate on this and let me know if its possible. I tried to google it (this is all I can do really !!) but couldn't find any answers.
Thanks in advance !!!
Posted it in Q&A section as soon as I realized I am in the wron section. Sorry for the confusion. Please continue discussion on this in q&A section.
Thanks

I got my hands on a friend's Bionic today and the UI (new blur?), though similar, has some slick new features. Anyone know if there is any work to bring these UI updates to the Atrix? (carousel home screen, 3d like widgets/animations)

I was thinking the same thing. Not much development going on for our Atrix lately.

The same question was answered when Droid 3 came out.
Currently, pretty much all devs are working on finalizing the CM7 rom for Atrix.
Since most devs / users hate motoblur, I doubt anyone will take time to port it even after CM7 is completed.
After all, why should anyone do Motorola's job for them?
Thanks for the input guys, sorry for the delayed response. Been running the same rom/theme for a while and was looking for something new and shiny w/ fingerprint support.
Hi there,
I just got a XT910 and this forum seems to be covering only for the brand new version on it, and could not find a forum here about my device so I kinda feel canned as this website have been very useful for me for my HTC a while ago
All I want to do is to be able to back up my GB as I really like this version of it, its indeed really neat. I'm keen to install ICS but only if I can make it to work out a dual boot situation at some point as BMM wont install (see my other thread).
So yeah if anyone can help either way by giving me an address for a friendly XT910 forum or some article that could help me acheve what I want to do that would be ace!!
Thanks in advance.

This is a xt910 forum.
We have the xt912 as well because it is basically the same phone... Just different battery. All the roms you see here also work on your phone.
Now on to your question.
GB and ICS multiboot is NOT possible. Once you are on ics you can't go back to GB. It's due to our locked bootloader.
That being said: ics and now jellybean are much better than GB. I really would advise you to upgrade but that's just my opinion.
Welcome to the forum. Thread moved, please make sure you post all questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks

Thanks fellows and sorry about the mispost,
So dual if dual boot is only possible between JB and ICS what is the point having a dual boot
I have seen many videos showing Android 4.x.x, had it installed on my HTC a few times and always curled back to 2.x.x mainly because of the graphic interface that I personally find horrid. The Motorola graphic designers really did a good job on this GB and it's quiet fast too.
If you have anything that would make me change my mind toward the new Android, feel free to let me know..
Saying that, if I choose to keep my original OS but would like to be able to perform backups, I'm not sure how to achieve this as Clockwork Recovery does not seem to be working straight away.
Any help welcome>>

Ok I hope this is the appropriate section for this.
I am due for upgrade soon and have had my share of iOS and since the last time I used an Android device, HTC Eris & HTC Incredible there have been leaps and bounds of improvements made and I really like what I see.
My question is this. I am with Verizon and understand they like to do things their way which tends to make things either less desirable or all jacked up. Is there a way to flash a stock GS4 Rom the way Samsung intended it to be before Verizon got their hands on it and made it work the way they want it? I just want to be able to take advantage of some features or options that the Big Red V disabled or modified.
Thank you for your time on this post as well as all the time spent working on all these great "aftermarket" features you give us to play with.

Hi,
Just a tip for the future.
You should always read the stickies at the top of a forum.

So i have used my Atrix since I got my GS3 over a year ago. I just stumbled across it and my car mount and I had a brilliant idea to use it as kind of like a small third screen for assorted tasks.
Since I've been out of the Atrix game for so long, which ROMs would provide the most compatibility and stability? I'm still not sure what all I want it to do, since I just got off work (night shift) and have no brain power left.
Thanks all. Will check back in about 8 hours or so when I wake up.
Cheers.
This is sounding suspiciously like a "Best ROM" thread but I'll see where it goes from here
Also for future reference, question threads go in the Q&A forum... Thread moved.

I agree with the moderator, it smells of best ROM material. but for arguments sake, lets look at it as if its not.
The better question would be what android version would I like to run on my Atrix? The Atrix has seen Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), ICS (4.0), and JB (4.1-4.3)
Do a bit of reading in the dev thread section to decide.
I would really appreciate some help with a project that I am hoping to start soon. I would REALLY like to get Sense launcher (Rosie) working on a non-HTC phone, specifically the ZTE Force 4g. I am asking for help from Droid Incredible 4g devs, because of the similarity of the platforms.
Both phones are MSM8690, both LTE, both 1GB ram, both are stock ICS 4.0.3.
What I don't know is how well this might go. That's where I need your expertise!
You see, I am sort of an HTC junkie. My last 4 phones were HTC's and I am very used to the Sense UI. There is not a whole lot of development going on for my phone (you can check it out on androidforums.com in the ZTE Force 4G - All Things Root forum).. Basically there is a CM10 port which lacks bluetooth and wifi capability, the stock rom, a rooted debloated stock rom (DroidForce, which is nice btw, and what I plan to use for a base). Also, a JB rom which is so new that pretty much nothing works. The Kernel sources for my phone JUST got released, and many are using the matrix kernel ported from the Avid. I feel that it would be good to add a little variety for ZTE Force users, and if I can bring together a Sense modded ROM for the community it would be nice.
Yes, I know that Sense is not often ported to other platforms due to the difficulty, and this thread will hopefully help me assess the doability of the project.
My first question, for those of you in the know, is what is the kernel version of the first stock rom on Droid Incredible 4g? If it is 3.0.8 then that is another thing that these phones share in common.
My first Sense related question is also about the kernel. Are there dependencies (modules, whatever) in the HTC kernel that are required for sense to work? I have read that there may be but have not seen this confirmed.
Next question would be about the screen resolution. The Force 4g is 480x800 while Incredible 4G is 540x960, both are 4". If this did theoretically make it to the point of testing, will the launcher screens and icons scale automatically, or will each graphic have to be resized? If resized, how complicated would that get?
Aside from the possibility of kernel dependencies, the next most important question is, "What exactly do I need?" This is where I would probably need the most help from you guys. If this is even possible to attempt, I don't know which frameworks I would need to add, what apks and files to rip from the Incredible 4g rom. All of the very detailed stuff which I know some of you guys know, I will need to learn.
I know probably most of you might possibly think that this idea is dumb and just say "Buy an HTC", but because of budgetary constraints I could not get a 4g HTC and use it on my carrier (Boost btw). I have the HTC Evo design 4G and it was on Boost but it's WiMax and we all know that is a dead duck.
So is anyone willing to give me some answers to the questions above? If there is a possibility of this working (any version of Sense would be fine) then I would greatly appreciate some guidance! I'd really rather not go the route of another launcher skinned like sense. That seems lame to me. Plus, I dig a challenge!
Thanks for taking the time to read and I thank you in advance for any responses!
Cheers!

Guess I'll just dive into this on my own..
