ICS contacts widget vs gingerbreads - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello all. I'm running the LATAM ICS on a Rogers RAZR and was wondering if there was a seeing I'm missing or if the favorite contacts widget is supposed to be slightly different

Mine looks exactly the same.. Are you taking about the favorites? That's the one I'm using.

I haven't tried ICS yet but from some utube razr ics review i saw the widget there(hoping you mean the pulldown widget for the favorite contacts-i love this one). The only thing is that it doesn't have,is the cool animation that had on gb. Correct me if im wrong.

Yes, GB version is a lot better. But I won't stay in GB for that only..

I won't stay in gb either...but gb looks better? I hate the simple tron/neonlike ics.Tbh i havent tried ics....but..i liked the animations in gb,i liked the open/recent apps menu(i dont really care about the previews, i wanna see all in 1 screen, n razr had more than the usual 6 or 8 apps- 20 apps in one screen n it was great).The dialer suxx(same functions in dialer and people in ics1 app), instead of 1 app?).Plus its ugly n simple imo.Pull down menu is ugly too(gb was better) and without wifi etc shortcuts
ICS is the way to go though cause some apps i would like to try are on ics only.
I hope uot kitchen will be fully avail for ics(add lots of razr-themers :laugh.
Well, thats my likes , i guess.

It looks the same to Mee..

It is slightly different. Pulldown animation is off. The contact icons are smaller. They have added more contacts. I personally liked GB favorite contact widget but this is not bad either.

All this time i was thinking that i was missing the animation because my phone was being sluggish. i feel a lot better now

It was the only reason I was thinking about sticking with the stock launcher since I loved the widget in gb, but in ics it is slow and doesn't have the effect it used to when you tried to view more of your contracts. That's too bad... Trying to find a replacement but so far no luck.

Launcher Pro

Anyone know if Launcher Pro will look good at a higher resolution like the Atrix has? I tried LP on my Galaxy Tab and it did not look so good due to the high resolution.

I looks great. I changed it to 5 rows, instead of 4 stock, and you can fit more on each screen than a captivate. It's crazy fast too, and the transitions look great.
i just paid for the PRO version because i really liked the free version. Where do you go in and change how many rows and such? There isnt a Launcher Pro app in the menu.

You can change most launcher settings by pusing the menu button the homescreen and choosing "preferences" or something similar. There is also a shortcut there to the Android Settings menu, so don't be surprised if you click that one first.

Mine's working fine. Only problem is that on the "People" widget, contact icons dont show up. Well, only the contacts with a gmail pic show, but the ones synced with Facebook dont. Anyone else care to confirm this?
Thanks

I have had this happen on other phones. I just left the Samsung Epic 4g to get the Atrix and my Epic did the same thing. I waited a few hours (next day) and updated the "people" widget and they all appeared. Let me know if this helps.
Got a thread going in General about reboots. Launcher Pro may (or may not) be the cause.
For anyone installing, post back if the phone reboots at some point (within 24 hours) after installing Launcher Pro.

Same here, and using Folder Org for grouping apps together, along with the "show apps" as the icon, looks very slick and excellent details on the tiny icons.
Been running the paid launcher pro for more than 24 hours now and customized it to death. Im currently running it with beautiful widgets and live wallpaper, no problems encountered
Its not causing reboots for me, but it is laggy.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Had LP Paid edition for 24 hours now and also on BW and there has not been anything bad about it so far. I dont feel the laggy as much more like its smooth now. The one thing I dont like about all this is the icons are so much smaller and so is the text for some widgets since resolution is so high.
I tried to put the option for stretch icon to fit in column and width but that didn't really do anything.
Other than that LP on this is pretty nice..... so far so good.

i cannot get the pictures to sync.
Anyone with the Calibri font think they can whip up some quick dock icons for the Atrix?
Preferably like the ones from Dreamlyfe Mini set?
Bare in mind I'm using ADW, but I have noticed that Live Wallpapers make my phone feel like a brick. The second I put a static one in there my phone went into rocket mode.
Anyone having a problem setting the default Launcher? I installed Launcher Pro and it becomes the default, but I can't go in and change it back to Blur as the default with uninstalling it. HomeSwitcher or HomeSmack are not working.

What do you hate the most about touchwiz?

Feel free to release your hate for touchwiz, i know we can use other apps to "fix" our phones but there's not an easy solution for everythin, gwhat are the things that you hate the most about it? In my opinion:
1.The lockscreen: Even tough i like the slider for received sms or missed calls i find it ridiculous, its slow and unpractical, you have to drag the wallpaper through 70% to unlock the phone
2.The launcher: its not that bad, but it is NOT smooth while flicking through the homescreens
3.The cheesy blue font, really samsung? a blue font in menus?
4.The messaging app: again the blue font, and the app it's just an iphone ripoff
5.The dialer/contacts: looks ugly and the image for the contacts its streched :/
6. Autobrightness also in the browser? huh? why?
7. Gallery on drugs? Its all sped up and is not overly responsive
8. No "," on the keyboard ( you have to switch to the special characters)
9. No option to deactivate just the keyboard vibration, in order to do it you must deactivate the vibration on the capacitive buttons too
10. Icons are really ugly
11. Hubs are pointless, the only non disposable one is the game hub
12. Samsung apps are horrendous, has someone download something useful from there?
13. No music widget? um why? i know there's a "shortcut" on the notification but a widget would have been nice
14. No text reflow on the browser
I should also mention that the camera app is better than stock android and i also like the way you change the wallpaper and add widgets, the browser is really smooth , is it true it has hardware
acceleration?
I know gingerbread is fugly but starting from ice cream sandwich just stick to making amazing hardware samsung
1. Normal Android and iOS, you have to drag an a thumb size **** for entire screen rather than anywhere of the screen, seems more hard to me.
2. Same on all androids... Try HTC next time.
3. Where did you get blue fonts? I don't see them
8. *cough* I have "." on keyboard. Do you by any chance use another launcher?
14. Actually text reflows on mine, and it is not TW launcher, it is android
Seriously dude, rest are just "objective" rather than facts.
I like TW and it is lighter than any other "default" launchers on rest of Android devices. Even sense on my friend's HTC's feels slow.
I hope Samsung does not give us butt-naked Android UI for ICS... TW4 is next best thing in Android other than core underground.
Please read why rest of Tech-editor hates Android's UI's, since I did not see much using SGS2... Beside it is not like Samsung locked you to use it. There are too many launchers out there...
I think TW is a good solid launcher. I dont use TW daily, but i dont agree with 90% of your points.
Same as the above poster really. i dont have blue fonts and also have a "." on the keyboard.
I'd strongly have to disagree with the not smooth on the home screens. Mine is seriously nippy.
Probably the only reason i dont use it is that i like to change my icons, so i will give you that one.
The stretching in the dial can be fixed by using a picture with the correct resoultion.

Touch wiz is too good to be criticised. Okay, some glitches but then nothing is perfect. It's so light and IMO it is awesome.

I agree 100% with everything! But you forgot the most annoying thing of all. The king of all annoyances! The child of Annoying Orange and Fred! The 100% battery charge notification!!! Who in their right mind would not think of including an option to turn it off?!
In all fairness, most of these issues (including the ball on leg on a hot summer's day battery notification) can be solved through different apps. But why should I?
edit: forgot to add that there is no stock android music widget (or any at all) in the widget list
i just love touchwiz no complains

1. Is it SO hard to move your finger two centimeters on any direction? Try other phones (HTC, Nexus).
2. Yes, it's quite good for most people. I don't really like it and i use Adw Launcher Ex. There's a lot free alternatives too.
3. What's wrong with these fonts? Are you aware of "Themes" section on this forum?
4. Yes, i totally agree on that one. It's an ifone rip off. On older ROMs at least we had an option to change theme, now it's gone. The only thing that really bugs me so much.
5. Pictures are fine for me and dialer app too. Would love to have an option to jump straight into favorites, instead of all contacts, though.
6. Yes and i love it! BTW, you can click "Menu" and disable it in no time.
7. That's slightly modded stock Android gallery and it's performance depends on amount of media files you have. Also, i guess you have some cheap class 2 SD card. And again, you can use QuickPic from Market, it's free and very fast.
8. I guess you meant "," not "." Yes, that's why i use Gingerbread Keyboard. Again, free on Market.
9. There's is an option to deactivate vibration for keyboard only. Settings - Language and keyboard - Samsung keyboard.
10. Personaly i love every single of them. Again, you can change any icon on this phone the way YOU like. It's Android
11-13 BS. Don't like them - don't use. Simple as that. And try some HTC phone and you will be surprised to find about 20 times more of bloatware.
14. Open browser - settings - auto-fit pages.
As i can see, you don't like every single bit on this phone. Why did you buy it? There's a good bunch of other phones.
And one tip: learn to use your phone, before blaming Samsung
I agree with some of your points, OP.
But the BIGGEST thing (at least in my experience) was how crappy Touchwiz performed compared to AOSP. Again, this is at least in my experience.
I hear good things about TW4 though.... I hope it's true!

Sorry, but I'm not seeing anything other than opinion. The vast majority of people actually really like TW on the S2, rating it higher than the other launchers. As for Sense, that's just another Launcher. You may as well start a thread for your favourite word processor, stating how it's better than the others, and then one explaining why you really like a certain art package or database app.
So you prefer Sense to TW. You should have a HTC phone then, not a Samsung one.

Possible for new screen transitions?

I was just wondering since I have never seen this around here before if it is at all even possible to change the regualr zoom in zoom out transitions with a fade in n out one like HTC or adw launcher. That would look a hell of a lot more proffesional on these phones and doesnt it use slightly less resources as well? Would be neeaatttt.

Sure just download a launcher that has that option.
But I mean throughput the whole phone. I want to replace the zoom in and out with a fade.
I don't think I've seen an app that changes that transition throughout the whole system, but check out all the different ROMs. One may have an option for it.
There has been apps like jrummy's toolbox I believe that can change animations for the whole system. Search in market there is a free one but none that I know of with simple fade in n out.
You can check this out and see if it works for the Droid X2:

ROM Toolbox isn't compatible with oir phones iirc.
Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
Doesn't mean it doesn't work.
I believe I did it once on this phone when I first got it.
UOT Kitchen works wonders guys.
There is a tab in uot kitchen specifically for transitions. I've used the ics transitions from them and it works great.
Also jeffmeister is right about certain launcher apps having the option to change transitions. ADW gives you the option and I believe several others do as well.

Flashed CM9 from the Stock rom and I am hating the new ICS calendar, any options?

so i liked looking at my Calendar by month and seeing everything i had set for the month even if the text was almost too small to read.
now in ICS it looks like colored blocks and i have to click on every day and even then i have to scroll to each hour.
is it possible to flash an older version of the google calendar app with out having to give up the rest of the ICS gapps?
ive attached two screen shots illustrating the New ICS cal and the old gingerbread cal and you can see why i like the old one better

this is a great widget with very extensive control options but i was just looking for something with the same easy options as the stock cal but just looking like it used to.
also for some reason even with all the different widget options, it does not fit well on the Note screen and i cant get to a lot of the buttons to move forward by month.
nitpicky i know :\ but great advice

Was jellybean worth updating

Just wondering was jellybean worth updating to I have yet to update because I cannot see loosing foxfi, plus I have thoughts of rooting but really don't care to root because I am still on ice and foxfi is alive and well.
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk 2
If you want any new roms to work, i guess yes.
My opinion is YES, i am on euRETAIL jellybean unrooted stock (couse i lost root), but it is better than ics stock.
Battery is about the same as ics hard to say (i think on idle battery is same and on use it drains little faster but its becouse stock settings 1.2ghz cpu and project butter)
Perfomance is superb becouse of project butter mainly.
The only bad thing as always is software and things like programs and new stuff that not all will like and ofcourse some old stuff got removes like usb mass storage (dont know why ), but is a pain in the ass.
It's like night and day. ICS on the RAZR was a disaster and the JB OTA makes up for it entirely.
I wouldn't say night and day, but for sure the interface is smoother, and much more polished. Battery ... Can't say yet ... Updated yesterday and I keep waking the screen up every few minutes just to make sure that the new font is still looking good

Well if you are on ics plus supercharger script, no need to go jb i think, because jb still lags here and there, only less. But with moto's ics quite a fluid experience, only memory tweak needed to be added.
I myself is using jb though, and because my wifi tethering is working fine, no need for foxfi though, and if you're into the camera mode, the panorama one is fantastic in jb.

For me it was really worth it!! (I was using D-wiz 3.0.2, and ICS EU Stock both laggy as hell)
Now I'm on Eu leak (retail)
I've managed to restore root after update. I've noticed I'm one of the few lucky ones.
I'm quite impatient person.
Laggy phones fly against the wall. ]:->
For me JB is blessing. It's fast as hell,
Especially camera app now starts a lot faster, Overall responsiveness of the UI is much better.
Performance is higher, but not by much. I've got above 75MFLOPS in Linpack, and 7700+ points in AnTuTu. (stock JB vs. stock ICS)
I've noticed no battery life improvement (but I think it needs few days to settle)
First charge was 21h30min with 3h10min screen usage.
Much better GPS fix and sattelites are now visible!
What's more: I'm quite sure that the sound quality both in calls and music is much better now! (I have good earphones and my ears are quite discriminating too)
I've checked what version of Radio is used: it almost identical to the "old" and "new" U.04.10.00R, and completely differrent to U_04.12.00R and U_04.11.01P. (i've compared them with WinMerge).
So I'd call it U.04.10.00R ver.3.0 ;P
Now I need only 1% battery mod (wich won;t disable my root) and I'll be perfectly happy with my RAZR
What's pissing me off:
*ugly Contacts (Thank God I'm using Go Contacts!)
*laggy start of IM+ (might by connected to some FB problem, because Facebook app also starts VERY long (like 30seconds?).
*screen rotation speed also leaves a lot to be desired.
No more sleep mode, mp3's gone from alarm clock. Anyone know how to fix?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
about sleep mode I can't tell you,
but alarms you can put in /sdcard/media/audio/alarms/ folder (or /ext_card/... if you wish)...
I'm on the Vodafone EU leak now (from Germany) and it's way more usable then the ME Retail ICS ROM I had before, but the battery life isn't the same, it's a little worse. Then again, the ICS ROM was ****ty, it had a lot of bugs and sometimes I would get frustrated because of them. But I would immediately remember how long the battery lasted and everything was fine

How about main things?
BAD: The contacts "people app", is WHITE (UGLY) backgroud, while in ICS it was in black (NICE), as everything else in RAZR. Now when you switch between "people" and "dialer" menus it looks UGLY, because its day ant night. Impression is that "people" is ripped from another phone with white theme, and thrown into RAZR - I dont understand how they let it slip through?? Especialy when You are in your bed at night, its so cool to have black themes, and now Your eyes are blinded, because EVERYTHING in RAZR is BLACK, except people app. WTF? SOOO BAD. And "Dialer's" favourites does not populate with all contacts - SOO STUPID, because I used to use only "Dialer" as it contained everything (recent calls,favourites, and all contacts), now I have to use both apps all the time, and as I said, its even more furstrating, because they use different themes, and its impossible to change them. Also messages app is now UGLY compared to ICS. Toggle widgets removed - if I want to switch data, I have to go into data usage menus - SOOO stupid. When I hit "Switch off phone" it asks if I reaaly want to do that - ANNOYING/STUPID. When I want to tur on gps, it also asks again - ANNOYING/STUPID.
GOOD: Works way more smoother, gallery app now is normal - not lagging when zooming, browser (not chrome) works better, smoother. Some more transition effects between all menus. Camera shutter is a tiny bit faster.

When I hit "Switch off phone" it asks if I reaaly want to do that - ANNOYING/STUPID. When I want to tur on gps, it also asks again - ANNOYING/STUPID.
GOOD: Works way more smoother, gallery app now is normal - not lagging when zooming, browser (not chrome) works better, smoother. Some more transition effects between all menus. Camera shutter is a tiny bit faster.

About the White, if you use the Verizon one, it is black. so it's different between ROMs. actually just Contacts.apk styling if you're willing to mod

Hi, thanks for answer. So, when the root will be available (I lost root), will it be possible to just copy in the Verizon's black "people" and "dialer" in to the system? Or maybe now it would be possible to disable existing contacts app, and install Verizons contacts.apk from storage? In that case maybe someone could be so kind and rip that verizons .apk for me to download, would be veeery nice.
Thanks!
