Slimming down 2.3.5? - Motorola Photon 4G

Is there anything I can do to sorta deblur my stock rooted 2.3.5 photon?
I miss being on custom roms and would like to be able to at least slim this puppy down.

I believe that I've seen a few people say that it works just fine. Reading the last couple pages will let you know.

If you're on a stock, locked ROM, I'd be hesitant to make any significant changes. From what I've seen around these forums and on the Motorola forums, the last couple of OTA updates have failed for many folks that have even slightly modded their phones; e.g. by editing build.prop to change configuration settings, removing stock google apps like music, etc.
You'd probably be better off just freezing anything you don't want with Titanium backup.
Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong...

[Q] roooted, do i take update?

Hi, I'm rooted and I just got an alert to download an update! Is this normal?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Never take an ota when you are rooted, thats the rule of thumb. It won't hurt now because both versions of the hboot are unlockable using revolutionary, but i would suggest flashing a rom that's based off the ota.

Because your stock rooted. If you were running a custom rom you wouldnt, but on the stock system everything is the same except for root access and whatever you saw fit to change.
am I correct in assuming that there isn't any custom rom yet for the evo 3d yet. I'm on the temp perm root
There are already quite a few custom roms on the Dev page already, and it's still below 24 hours since unlock and root. Read the [ROM] posts and chose one to flash, after you Revolutionize.

Yes like he said this time is ok. We don't know if the bootloaders will change in the future though, so you can update to get back to the newest and start using custom roms from there.
Personally if I can stay stock rooted and just keep using the HTC updates I would.

[Q] Alien and theme

I am sure I have read posts re Alien and theme not working but cant find them.
Alien works great for me except that I cant get the theme to install (launch). Actually I run the installer form CWM and finishes OK (last version of CWM). I go by the rules. Unlocked, rooted, depeleated battery and recharging 100 %, install Alien, and reboot before the install the theme, clear data/factory defaults before starting everithing, use the Wipe Installer.... what else.. what can I do.. upon installing and rebooting it goes to the HOME launcher, not even the stock Gingerblur, so I have to get rid of that pice of crap
I swithed to Alien from Ronaldo´s ROM, wich is very straightforward and based on Kenn´s and also uses Alien script installer, so I don't have the slightest idea as to what I am doing wrong, missing, or if I am through a bug,
I would appreciate some good soul to help me.
Cheers !!

meaning what you're asking for is old, no longer supported. meaning no one is maintaining it. its a gb based thing. most ppl have moved to ics/jb since its getting closer and closer to being stable. cut your losses and move on in this case means give up on it and find something else. not trying to boss you around with that statement, just saying it as it is

Don't blame you. You still have an honorable Atrix.

Oh.. I see what happened. For some smoking strange reason, @AndroidSlave wrote post #2 and brought the thread on top of the Atrix section... Hmm

UCKK6 has been around for nearly a month as an OTA at this point, and even longer as a leak.
Why do people insist on always posting that they got a damned OTA? 99% of the time they just got what everyone else has had (or has been avoiding) for a month.
Try it again. Sometimes you need to do it twice to get ICS.
Too many people are trying to download it at once.

I JUST DID IT, but damnit, this OTA update broke basically everything, including my buttons... phone doesn't work, wifi doesn't work either... if I wanted a useless phone I would have gotten a Galaxy Player not an SII...
Hence why people avoid it. I never did the ota update but when using one of unnameds older gingerbread roms versus one based on 2.3.6 you can see the battery drainage and lag differences.

Conspiracy Theorists : AT&T limits update requests

I tried to check for any updates (ICS? ) and got a reply back saying I could try again in 23H 55m. What does this mean? Anyone???
My guess is ATT is annoyed people keep checking for ICS that they started tracking us. OR it means ICS is coming .......LOL.

Nothing new. Their update method has always only allowed you to check it once per 24 hours. However, there's a way to force it as many times as you want; I forget how (Google it with "XDA" behind your search terms). The question is though, why you would want to update via AT&T. There'd be more than an unlikely chance of getting some mangled BS. I will never understand those who prefer official updates; at most, you should be excited that our guys can get their hands on it, as opposed to installing it.

At first I thought to myself. I'll just use a custom rom until official update. Once I flashed I never turned back. Would never even think of flashing even to official ics which will be loaded with bloatware and worst of all...touchwiz...

I used to, on gingerbread when it was superior to aosp. Changing next to nothing when updating it for ics was a mistake.

I'm waiting on AT&Ts ICS so a dev can get ahold of it. I can't go back to stock, way too much bloat. Not a huge fan of the i9100 ports either so I'm just waiting on AT&T.

Thats pretty much your only viable option unless you use a rom that has long been out of development. But its butter and pretty.
