Hey guys, I ordered my Atrix 4G and I have a few questions before I get it. I looked through some of the threads and I'm a little confused.
1) I know this phone has motoblur. Are there any ROMs which don't have motoblur preinstalled?
2) Does "unlocking" on this phone mean the unlock of bootloaders, or a carrier unlock?
3) Where are the root procedures for this phone? I didn't see any -_-
4) Any tips on using this phone?
Thanks in advance
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S 4G so this is a whole new game for me.
As far as Roms without MotoBlur, I'm not really aware of any. Motoblur is not as bad IMO as what some folks think. I use it and it's fine with me. However, if you put the new Gingerbread software on it it actually gives you an option to skip the Motoblur activation if you don't want to use it. Yes, there are some custom ROMs that are starting to become available. There are also psuedoroms for the phones that do not have the unlocked bootloader. ( I highly recommend KennethPenn's GingerBlur if you don't want to unlock the bootloader. Search for it in the developer's section of the forum.) Yes, you can now unlock the bootloader on the Atrix. As far as rooting the device, it's very easy to do. You will find that the XDA forum has much better and more in depth answers than what I can give you. My biggest advice to you regarding this forum is USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!! I promise you, any possible question you could ever have about this device is answered on this forum. Enjoy your Atrix, it's a Bad-A phone!!
Have been reading any and all Rooting Posts and I have come to the conclusion that as of now, Most, if not all of the Rooting techniques are a shot in the dark.
If there is one good way that is reliable and doesn't screw up one thing or another than I have not seen it.
Example......Superoneclick....works on one phone but not the next....Roms....need more fixes to get to work than Microsoft.....
Tell me is there a proven way to unlock the bootloader, Root the phone and get Gingerbread to work fully ?
I may be new to this site and believe me I would love to have a open phone....But I have other things to do than F around trying to get a already KickAss phone to work.....Just saying....

There are lots of tutorials in the Development forum on how to do this.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT preinstall method is the one IS SAFE and FUNCTIONAL

you need to do more reading, no one uses superoneclick for the atrix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165791
Read the stickies..
Have you ever opened the android dev section?
Almost everything is in the sticky thread of clown.. With faqs guides etc..
Unlock your bootloader depending what atrix you have(att or international), then install the tenfars port of CWM4, and then you can root using the CWM root method..

To build on your Microsoft comment...............Some software is not compatible with all versions of Windows. The Atrix came out with Windows 95, has made it to XP, and with GB will be Windows 7. If you are not happy with the devs work, what they have done for everyone, and can't filter through the threads to get what you want, maybe you should get an iPhone and stick Cydia on it!......Or get a Windows phone because you won't have to "fix" anything on it!
If you want help, then you have started out the wrong way. Your post needs to be objective, and not flaming all the work others have done because you can't implement any of it, and are confused.
Root, ROM's, etc., do not need a bunch of fixes............you just have to READ so you know which ones work together for what you want. If you had actually taken the time, you would know that the bootloader has been unlocked, root is working, and GB is awesome. You just have to check the instructions for what you want on your Atrix, whether it be AT&T, Orange, Bell, etc.
Personally, I am on an AT&T Atrix 4G with unlocked bootloader, rooted, with GB 4.5.91, and have absolutely no complaints ot problems!
Since you don't want to F around, watch that door................it's heavy and swings closed fast.........wouldn't want it to hit you between the buttocks on the way out!
Bell ATRIX, unlocked bootloader, rooted, running 2.3.4. No problems

Thanks for the post, gave me a nice lol. I lol'd.
I want to Rom this with an ICS Rom...
Where should I start first?
1. Do I have to put Clock Work Mod on it? I keep seeing people say "flash it in CWM" i've used CWM before.. i just don't know how to put that on my note first..
If the answer to that is yes.. is that the first step?
2. Which rom would still let me use the STYLUS, like for example the taking a screenshot feature of the stylus?
Any help would be appreciated... I'm an IT Engineer, and honestly i can say that i'm trying to read through all these posts.. but some of these forum threads are damn ear over 200 pages long.. and this is all really intimidating..
I just don't want to Brick my note, and want to put a good rom on it..
**ALSO**
I want to try out that APN/Settings file trick that you flash where it increases your speeds.
If anyone helps me with this.. i will seriously LOVE YOU LONG TIME =)
Welcome to the Note. It's a great device.
Please do some reading and searching. Can you imagine if all ten million Note readers did what you did and opened a thread just because they got a new device?
There are several threads telling you what to do and the order in which to do them. Look for stickies. Don't use any other ROMs or tools except for ATT specific ones. There are a few different versions of the Note. ATT is the i717 model. Don't use the N7000 stuff, for example. They could brick your device.
Good luck.
since this is a question(s), it probably belongs in the Q n A section
Search, read, search, read some more.
I snooped the forums for a week before finally rooting and installing a rom. It can seem intimidating... until you really get in to it. There's a great thread in the General section for noobs like me, that taught me all about everything i needed to know here.
Read, read, read.

I have the AT&T model and I want a ICS stock root without all the garbage apps and shenanigans AT&T forces on your phone.
I already looked around in the ROM directory and I did find this thread which seems to match what I'm looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752232
Is the ROM in this link a pre-rooted ROM?
But I need to be careful to keep my phone rooted as I don't live in America anymore and I don't want my phone to get locked or I cannot receive calls.
I am currently using a stock gingerbread ROM rooted.
I recommend Task's ASOP rom I have been using it for months through many updates and it just keeps getting better.

I am and I'm getting a bit confused. If I remember correctly when I last did this all the ROMS i tried were .tar files, now they are all .zip files and when I extract the file I cannot find a .tar in any folders.
T.T
Search for creepyncrawly's guide to flashing. No offense, but you've got a lot to learn, buddy. And uh, I wouldn't post asking questions like "I want this kind of ROM" or "help me learn how to flash again" until you've read a lot, since people around here highly discourage that kind of thing. Just warning you in advance.
Fair enough,
In my defense though I did not ask for explanations in the thread, but links for me to read and figure it out myself : /
EDIT: I tried searching for creepyncrawly's guide and came out empty handed. These forum search functions never work properly, can someone just link me there?
Useful links are here. It includes creepyncrawly's guide, but I've linked that one too, just for you. Good luck!

If you're rooted you can skip to installing a custom kernel, yes. Make sure to read the flash counter though, it's important that you know how to do that.

Make sure you have clockwork mod installed, if you did not flash a custom kernel you may not have it. If you don't you may need to flash a custom kernel and then go from there. If you know how to get in recovery try to and see if clockwork mod shows up. If its the default recovery you will need to flash a custom kernel from there you can flash whatever rom you want.

This is a self-service forum. Asking people to provide links is just as bad as asking them to do the research for you. There are FAQs and Stickies that cover much of the basics and the search function to fill in the gaps. Even Google searches often return results that end up here. I'm glad you can read for yourself, so start finding things on your own and you'll get/cause a lot less grief in here.

These kinds of responses are perfectly fine and should be the norm for anyone looking to get spoon fed.

Same here bro, even coming from OG Galaxy S (Captivate), i read everything there was on i777 forums (stickies in general and development) before i even tried to flash anything... if only everyone did some reading... I mean I've been running custom roms since September '11, I don't think I've ever asked how to do something so simple, really tho? Which ics rom? Just read the first few pages of each thread that interests you, Itll help you and XDA as A whole. I've yet to brick my phone, I've gone thru numerous roms. Not trying to be a *****, but what you're asking XDA members to do for you is remedial...

I'm sort of in the same boat, I'm on UnNamed and now with official ICS out I'm looking at development and reading up again and it's getting confusing because I see AJs rom and it seems nice but I don't seem to see (correct me if I'm wrong) Entropy as active on kernel development and UnNamed has sort of been "abandoned" other than Ryudes project. I guess what a lot of people are hoping for is an "UnNamed" style ICS with a very stable stock based kernel, all stock flame aside, that's 100% daily driver capable. I like 2.3.4, does everything I need my phone to do daily, I rely heavily on gps and bluetooth for driving which are some of the issues I read about with the ported kernels, as well as various mic swap stuff which is intimidating to be completely honest. Does anyone know if there is work on something stock based with a DD style kernel? I know this is fairly new ground so I'm not wanting to come off as ungrateful for the work that is going on and that has been done.

I respect everyone's answers and tolerance. Please keep in mind though while this may be seem trivial to the advanced users this can be very confusing/overwhelming for noobs. I am grateful for the guidance provided thus far and can say I am making a solid effort to figure this out on my own.
I have successfully flashed the ICS ROM/Kernel provided by creepy with the help of the forum members. I did make a few mistakes though, I did not wipe the Dalvik cache or data, and did not bother performing a factory reset before hand. Either way, the phone is running fine aside from my wallpaper image not panning through desktop windows, apparently this has been discussed before; but searching the forums, google, and few pages of threads has been fruitless.

Yes, I agree that preparing to flash something on your phone when you start with no knowledge can be confusing, and overwhelming for some. There are clearly differences in how the mind works from one person to another. Some pick up technical issues fairly quickly, others (my wife, who is a musician with creative temprament, for instance) have difficulty even retaining the technical information they have already learned.
However, you flashed UCLE5 stock plus root from the OP of my thread in the development forum without first doing a wipe data/factory reset. So did you read through the text of the OP of that thread and fail to understand what was written there, or did you just not read it? If you are the type of person that doesn't grasp technical issues easily or at all, then you should not be messing with your phone. This is a ~$500.00 device which you could easily destroy if you do the wrong thing.
Or... you should take as long as you need to fully understand what you are doing, even if it takes weeks or months before you flash anything. Let go of instant gratification for once.
I sure hope you followed the OP of the thread and flashed a custom kernel. If you haven't, then whatever you do, Do Not Do A Wipe Data/Factory Reset while the UCLE5 kernel is still installed.
Further, you have started several different threads and posted in others, all about the same issue, which is very close to spamming the forums. Please make yourself aware of the rules of this place, and conform to them.
As far as the wallpaper issue, I find it hard to believe that you could search and find absolutely nothing on this. All the ICS leaks contain this bug, or feature. The new SGS III also has the exact same issue. You can set a portrait wallpaper but not a scrolling one. There are a multitude of wallpaper programs on the Google Play Store that will fix the issue. You can also install another launcher, such as Apex, to fix the issue.

Hi folks!
I want to buy a new SGS2, I'm coming from the Xperia arc Forums, and have some questions, cause Noob guides didn't really help me..!
So here we go:
1: On Sony devices theres a bootloader, and you can unlock it, but not every device can get unlocked, is it the same here?
2: What is the difference between "Original Android Development" and "Android Development"? The Arc Forums just have the 2nd one.
3: On Arc Forums you can flash kernels with a unlocked bootloader only, and flash firmwares with a program called "Flashtool" and Custom ROMs with CWM. My question: How can I flash firmwares to the SGS2? Is there such program too or what is it?
(I already found out how to root )
Well, that are all my questions for now! I hope you guys can help me!

intel_c0re
Welcome to the S2 forums......
IMO the S2 (although not a cutting edge phone) is a nice phone.....
Samsung bootloaders are not locked....no ussue....
Root and cwm are usually contained in the same custom kernel.....some of which can be flashed from the stock recovery (search for PhilZ)
Other kernels (and firmwares) need to be flashed by a program called ODIN.....which I guess is similar to the program you mentioned......
ODIN seemed daunting at first...but if you do enough searching and reading (plenty of threads here) you won't go far wrong.
As for the difference between 'Android Development' and 'Original Android Development'......not entirely certain....there may have been a difference to begin with.....but what difference there was...seems to have been 'muddied' over time.......
Finally.....
I don't know what things were like over on the Sony forum, but here there's an unwritten but 'vigorously enforced' rule.....
Search, read, learn, understand then do.....
*some* folks here have a very short fuse when it comes to answering questions that "noobs" have created new threads for (without searching first).......remember the above rule; and you'll get a lot out of this forum.....
Good luck mate...
EDIT.....
If you buy the phone new, the FIRST thing to check is whether it's running ICS 4.0.4.
If it is, be very careful......
Search for emmc brickbug for details.....there's a 'stickyed' thread about it in one of the sections. Read it fully to understand the issue before doing ANYTHING to your phone.....

You don't need to root. Just flash a custom recovery, then wipe data+cache in recovery, and flash a ROM. As simple as that. No extra steps required.

Yes, and some people (particularly the ones with an IQ below 25) have a habit of always spoonfeeding everyone even the most basic information that's been posted here thousands of times before, and almost always in the preceding few days. Which actually increases the prevalence of busted phones, I.E people who learn stuff for themselves tend not have that happen.
This is one of the reasons why many (more & more these days) people here get so 'short', as much as n00bs asking the most dopey questions time & again and being too lazy to search through some threads.

You should go a little easy on the answering guy's(about the IQ 25 guy's I think most are newbies trying to increase post count.. Lol) , because as far as I am concerned google search produce's solutions for most problem (a little confusing yes, but anybody with a little patience can understand them), on that basis most questions asked here are "lazy" questions, but still most people are answering here because they want to, nobody is forcing anybody to do so after all, just some time ago you solved a guy's problem by suggesting him to use a Static IP, that solution can be easily found through Google, but still you choose to answer, people tend to be people and want everything to be easy, (why do you think a graphical interface is necessary nowadays) some are plain idiotic and will jump without thinking, I don't support spoonfeeding but giving a small description and suggesting to read is always a good answer.

^^^^^ if only there were people like this guy when I first started on the s2!!! Luckily there are a few others who will also help out but things get easier over time. As for the lock screen, looks like GB but always worth checking in settings to be 100% custom themes can be found on play store and finally realise how many there are since my 3 year old has now taken over the s2 as a toy and changes everything daily

I told that I can only watch the lock screen, but I found out that it's GB already.
So..
I think this is done for now! I'll give news here about the phone then.
Thank you!

Friend, you should learn to show some respect, as the saying goes "give respect and get respect". Everybody was a noob once, I respect you, since I myself have learned a lot from you directly and in-directly, but showing disrespect to noobs as well as people who answer's is wrong, which as Sun90 said is bad for your stature, "to err is human" everybody makes mistakes nobody can be perfect all the time, if you find somebody is wrong or has made a mistake, politely correct them, who know's maybe the other party could be a genius who made a mistake, who are we to insult them? I really do hope you take this message the right way, as I mean no offence to you.
Keith, buddy I really appreciate what you are doing here, because pointing people in the right direction is always right. :good:
