What's happened to Atrix forum, I see no more Android development for Motorola Atrix. is it depend to locking of bootloader by Motorola?

What? You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? The devs are definitely still working on the Atrix, and you come across like you are questioning the devs and only an obnoxious person who wants and demands everything for free, without putting in any effort, will do that. No, our devs are still very much alive and kicking. They do have a life you know...
My bootloaders been unlocked for close to a year now...

You have to remember that these developers work from basically ground floor up, they are dependant on what is released from Motorola and Google, which is a whole lot of nothing on a good day. They also work on their own time without any real monetary support. We all have to just sit an enjoy our steak and stop worrying about what's for dessert.

Are we getting trolled here or what the hell is going on? The Atrix has had continuous development from the first day of release until now and it is still going strong. We have a ton of roms to flash and awesome kernels. Just wait and watch when ICS comes out and this forum will be flooded with new **** for the Atrix.

obvious troll is obvious. if you dislike the current state of the development for the atrix, go buy another phone. maybe an iphone. yearly releases of magical hardware and software.
Slowed, but not gone.
Atrix development has slowed somewhat, but it's still happening. One thing that I have noticed though, a significant number of people are shying away from xda and publishing developed ROMS on their personal websites.

Probably because a lot more developers are getting tired of the increasing stream of BS that's flowing through the XDA forums (and it's not limited to the Atrix, either, not by a long shot). They probably figure that the increased exposure isn't worth all the crap they have to put up with.

Funny that when my friend who owns an IPhone cannot believe all the fun I have customizing my phone and how much faster and lighter my phone feels, and don't get me started on all the blackberry folks who have to charge their phone twice a day and don't believe how long my phone lasts. The Atrix is a beast and I plan on rocking it for a long long time.

Our devs worked very hard to unlock our bootloader so I don't believe you are giving them enough credit when you say its been unlocked since day one. You acknowledge that the Atrix version is not stable. Well that is kind of a problem for us because the Atrix team will most likely be the ones who will port it over for us. There was a thread started about it on the cyanogenmod forums about two weeks ago so you might want to keep that thread alive. A lot of people aren't willing to sacrifice their 4g access for custom ROMs just yet but once the 4g issue is fixed then I think you will see a lot more. You might want to communicate with the Atrix team and show them your support and offer your device for testing if you wish to speed things up. Just make sure you have a nandroid backup.
First rule of Cyanogenmod is don't ask for an eta.
Sent from my Motorola Photon 4g
Not being a Dev (yet. I am eager to learn) my layman's/noob's suggestion would be for the Photon Dev's and the Atrix Dev's to combine forces to create CM7 for both phones. If I am not mistaken, and please correct me if I am wrong so I can learn, the Photon & Atrix are very similar and with the exception of the RIL and a few other minor differences the CyanogenMOD ROM for both phones would be practically identical. Sometimes too many cooks spoil the soup but most of the time the more great minds the better.
I understand that both the Photon & Atrix Dev's put in a ton of work to root & unlock the bootloaders. They did this out of a love for what they do and asked for nothing in return, they should be thanked and praised for their efforts and contributions to the community.

I think it has more to do with people getting annoyed with noob and uniformed questions. Since when did a a different phone with an unstable version and a bootloader that will break 4G become a prerequisite for the Photon getting CM7?

Unfortunately some of the best developers on this forum have turned into the evil apple fanboy twins in denial and refuse to leave HTC products. Despite the obvious superiority of the Photon over the Evo 3D, they refuse to pick one up simply because it is Motorola. Their argument is "It's Motorola and they don't unlock bootloaders", but they haven't even looked to see that it is unlocked. Be it what it may, we have kennethpenn and seanzscreams and I love them both dearly for putting all the effort they have into two great ROM's. This phone has been everything I want and more even on stock software, so I'm not upset of the Evo forum /bb/tards don't find their way into this section and it remains quiet here. Granted I'd love to see the power of this phone be unlocked, I doubt it'll happen with HTC and Samsung holding so many developers by the balls with the bells and whistles of nonfunctioning products.

It will. Our phone is so similar to the Atrix that they will be able to help as well. I am not getting into the hype of the SGS2. Will be a great phone but the Photon is much more of a power house. We have only just got source. Once AOSP gets ported things will be lovely.

I agree with u. I'm sorry. I had an evo4g and the 3d just doesn't live up to its predecessor. The photon was just the better choice
I wish there was an online school, maybe run by the devs, to give guidance on how to create roms and kernels. I know there are forums with directions, but allot of it I just don't understand. Unless a dev takes you under his wing and explains it to you, it is very difficult to learn. Maybe some type of online chat and examples, and there would be a membership fee to attend. This way the devs would be compensated for their time. If there were say hundreds people enrolled, the cost would be minimal. Just thinking out loud. Wish I new more so I could help the community. I have already learned more about it than I ever thought I would, do to lack of development with some of the phones I have chosen. Either way, I'm keeping this Mopho!

You may get a rom that is a port from another device, but don't count on it for several weeks.
oh man, i got all excited thinking someone had done an sdk build rom.
At this point with only 1-2 active ROM devs for the Photon I'm not holding my breath on anything but what Moto pumps out. I wish they would leave more of the gingerbread experience intact like the themed Alien ROM

Until Motorola pulls its head out of its ass and stops releasing phones in the shadow of bigger deal phones... and stops locking its bootloaders... you will never get a finished port of anything to a motorola phone... Photon was DOA in the developer arena since Evo3D came out just before. Locking up all the new 2 year contracts. Even the CM7 port has gone nowhere fast and will never leave alpha state. ICS won't even come close to photon by the time CM ports it.
The new RAZR will also be DOA with the nexus shadowing it. Moto has the same marketing skill as HP with touchpad... that is... none.
will ICS comes on PHOTON officially or no officially ?????

They won't be getting rid of physical button entirely, especially on lower end devices where a smaller screen makes up the cost for adding buttons. Also - some users don't like on screen buttons.
Just because it has on screen controls doesn't mean they will be used for every device from here on out. I can assure you that more than "future" phones will have this OS - several phones currently out will get the update. And if you think other wise we have big issues.

LOL I may think otherwise...
It is still unclear. There needs to be a way to hide the onscreen honeycomb buttons for phones that already have buttons. What about the search button... that isn't shown as one of the new buttons. And the menu button replaced with the recent apps button.
ICS seems to be a larger update than Gingerbread was to Froyo and Froyo to Eclair. I suppose CM could hack it up to work on older phones.. but will manufacturers do that? Or did google add backwards compatibility with button-based phones?

there is no need to. the sdk is for building apps. anyone trying to base a rom off of its files is really wasting their time. it will be missing so many things that it booting would be a godsend. you are talking of a massive jump in kernel versions, froyo is on 2.6.32 gb is 2.6.35 ICS is 3.0.0

What I was trying to say in so many words that unless you have the means, buying every or waiting for the latest device is useless as there is always something better coming around the corner.
Sorry if I sounded like a jackass. I agree with your post btw.
The way I see it is,, we KNOW the SG2 is a great device with plenty of support. I'm sure the SG3 will be great as well, but I wouldn't hesitate to get the SG2, it is a sure thing!
I love my sgs2 but if I was in your shoes now I think i would wait. Those new processors that use 50% less power sound like a winner. I'd wait if you can. If you can't the sgs2 is great

Looking at the Captivate, I think it only makes sense to hold on to the GS2 for at least another 6 months before moving on. Development doesn't really start to take off until the device has been out for 6 months to a year.

Agreed. I was a Captivate early adopter (the day it came out) and I didn't have much fun. Looking back at those forums now there is quite a bit to be excited about.

SGIII wont be available on AT&T( if it comes at all, which it should) until at least September, but more than likely be October (just like the GSII). If you have an upgrade now and want a phone, get the GSII... if you can wait 6-8 months, hold out for the GSIII.

By the time the SGSIII comes here, they'll be teasing the NEXT greatest phone. If you need a phone, the i777 is a great device.

The same reason why PC hardware has become a non-factor, software has not caught up to the processing power of the hardware. A captivate will perform 90% as well as the SGSIII on a custom ROM. Battery life will probably be better too.

I love my sgs2 but if I was in your shoes now I think i would wait. Those new processors that use 50% less power sound like a winner. I'd wait if you can. If you can't the sgs2 is great

+1 for this - if you can, I'd at least wait until it's announced and see the specs. One other consideration - if you like to root, load ROMs, themes, play with the settings above and beyond stock, get the SGS2 - it will take time to build up a community for the 3 when it comes out.
Buying Moto was a big mistake. Yes. I think I will now admit it. Literally NO updates and they treat you like Sh*T. Good going Moto. Not to mention the fact that the devs give it a miss. I don't blame them at all. When other major corps (HTC at least) have listened to their customers and unlocked their boot loaders and released their source code, what makes Moto so special and not follow suit. A while back they were nearly non-existent. Until Google bought 'em.
I am growing impatient as I slowly see the world progress towards faster and newer OSes and inspite of paying a bomb and buying killer hardware, have to be stuck with MotoBla and am at the mercy of Motorola. Hmmm...*checks if the logo behind isn't a bitten apple*
As if this wasn't enough, add to it CDMA/GSM confusion. Some really awesome ROMs out there for CDMA and we, the GSM lot, just helplessly watch as a third world country. No doubt the devs are working day and night on patches and ROMs...but the progress is visibly slow (for GSM that is).
On the other hand whatever brighter side is left, yes, the hardware and looks are killer. But now I think it's pointless.
Never again Moto. YES sir.
Comments welcome, positive criticism welcome too.
But if you are gonna reply, "Oh one more thread about bla bla..." I suggest you simply hit the back button and go help some noob.
This is my perspective on being with a Moto phone for less than a year.

Wait... you bought Motorola? I thought Google did.

I am waiting for kexec to be ported to our device by hash. He is running custom kernel on the DROID 3 with ics atm
To be honest I am tired of waiting for kholk, hash managed to get both cores running

You paid to Moto not to the dev.. so stop complaining about them being slow.

Android is fun because so many generous people working hard for it :good:

Although all the repliers in this thread have valid points I have to agree with the op. I like the RAZR. Its got great build quality and features. The screen sucks balls and support from moto is disappointing. I am waiting until I can afford it and swapping to something else. Depending on what I can afford, anything from a nexus s to galaxy s3.
All this and I had a dell streak that I would happily have instead.

That would be the last resort, selling it. Swapping it for another phone...hmmm.

So " u mad bro" is a valid post? xD
Joke mode off
I can understand op point of view, while the rar is amazing from the hw point of view, the part of being motorola is the one that lower it's value.
Probably my next phone will be not a motorola, unless they change their behavior. Maybe losing in a quarter almost what they lost in a year can make change their idea a bit
We can only hope. My view is that they won't change. I was victim of their dext update fail and they say once bitten, twice shy. I'll change that to twice bitten, never buy.

Edit. Yes I think 'you mad bro' is valid. This is an open forum about general RAZR related chat after all

Nothing valid about "you mad bro". Its high time we have a serious conversation about these things don't ya think??
Now checking out LG OPTIMUS 4X...looks good. But don't want another Motorola episode rerun in my life.

I understand the aggravation, but I don't understand why people find it necessary to post rants here. Xda is a development forum for developers, essentially your going to get a nod of agreement or flamed for littering the threads, why waste your energy? Why not voice your disappointment to the company that caused your grief. If Motorola and verizon's forums, Facebook, etc. we're filled with as many post with customer complaints as xda is they might do something about it just to shut us up.

I agree. But again, I made sure I'm not posting in the dev section but in the general section. I just wanted to see how many people agree or am I just "mad".
Anyways...

I'm with you 100% other phones get the good stuff even lower end ones and we got a good piece of hardware but can't exploit it the way it sould be.

Moto dies make awesome phones.. But their updates leaves much to be desired.
If only they can apply their six sigma on customer satisfaction on updates..

I'm seriously looking at other options as of now...LG OPTIMUS 4X looks good..Tegra 3, and other cool hardware..4cores that go silent when not needed and spring back to action when needed..or so the ad says...

Have you guys had phones like the DROID charge where you are left in the dust with crickets and barren desert for a dev scene and no updates at all?
You don't know how good you have it with this phone.
The phone you want is not available and it is a RAZR HD Nexus model.
I am extremely content with this phone.
Used to flash anything that came out for my Samsung phones to try and eek out a little extra performance. This phone doesn't need that.

I have Epsilon V4 running on my gsm Razr. I have friends who have Galaxy and Nexus devices, among other premium devices. They care little about benchmarks and ROMs. They (We) worry more about email, some photo apps, social networking, some games, and business related apps. Hell I had to talk them into rooting and such. One thing they do care about is the "feel" that my razor has; its uniqueness, they grab it, fondle it, leet it rest on their hands and stare at the kevlar.
That being said, I don't think I want to buy a plastic telephone that develops cracks for no apparent reason. Furthermore, if time and business allow I am considering learning the related stuff to Android development. Not just for the challenge and fun, but for the very principle "If you want something done your way, you get to it."
Nobody forced me, or any adult for that matter, to obtain and keep this phone. If anybody is that unhappy with their device, I'd say it will be quite simple to sell it and get something one wants.
:good:
