Howdy all!
Has anyone noticed that the "Double Tap Home" button resets itself? I changed mine to be the dialer, and after a few days it resets to Voice Dial.
I'm curious if anyone has run into it and possibly solved this problem.
Are you running a custom ROM or Motorola firmware?

I had the same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010892
although I never got anywhere. After a while I think it stuck. I have no idea what caused it to revert back...

That could be the reason. Have you tried custom ROMS instead? If you need help with the boot loader unlocking, rooting process, let me know because I can help.

I haven't ventured into the realm of custom ROMs yet. Definitely an area that I want to get into (I was an avid blackberry beta tester before I jumped ship).
Can you answer a few questions perhaps?
1. Will flashing a new ROM cause me to lose all my user data?
2. What ROM do you recommend? I actually like the look of the stock .91 ROM, and I use ADW Launcher. I'm not really into the CG7 look with everything being bluish. I guess with ROMs, I just don't have a good enough understanding.
For the first question, yes you will lose stock data. But if you have gmail, contacts, paid apps, and calendar will be saved. But its totally worth it. The rom I recommend right now is the ALIEN ROM. Which is a nice one. If you want to to start, let me know and I will give you a guide that helped me.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I am already rooted and unlocked.
I thought what you were going to provide was the latest ALIEN rom link and screenshots (as well as the way to apply the rom - fastboot, cwm, etc.)

Double-tap home got too annoying for me.
I ended up freezing the default voice command feature in TiBu, and don't have to worry about it anymore...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537
Here is the alien ROM LINK
Sorry for the late response.
Ok! Well, all that was easier than I thought. This is amazingly fast. So far I haven't found any glitches, everything works the same for me. I've rebooted several times and the home button hasn't reset, so thats a good sign.
One thing I did notice is that I now only have one APN listed, and I think before I had several.
I didn't install the bloatware, but BLUR seems to work fine.
One thing I will say is that installing 200 apps by hand from the market SUCKED. I used a Titanium Backup and then used the market link from there.
Also thought that I should mention that this did *NOT* fix my "double tap" home button issue.
After some amount of time the home button defaults to voice commands, which is useless to me. Taking another suggestion above and freezing the app with TiBackupPro.
Oh well. Maybe Beta #4 will fix the issue.

I no longer have this phone. With that being said, I will still keep these links up. If for some reason they don't work, I WILL NOT be updating them. If you need them or wish to redistribute them, go for it and grab them while they are still here.
It was a nice phone while it lasted, but after 6 replacements I moved on to something better.
This DOES NOT unlock your bootloader, but will update to 2.3.5 on the already unlocked phones. Sorry to the folks that are locked with the 2.3.5 update. Hopefully something soon happens for you.
This is stock 2.3.5 WITH the updated kernel. Updated baseband as well, in a separate .zip of course.

Flashing this will revert your recovery to the stock recovery BUT will keep you unlocked
Re-install your custom recovery according to this guide-http://www.teamuscellular.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=1221
Also, I have noticed that after every boot it re-installs the stock recovery. To fix this, use a root file explorer(I use Root Explorer) and go into /system/etc and delete the file "install-recovery.sh"

I think if motorola would make it optional as well as add at least more than 2 points of multitouch this would help gaming. There are several games that can use more than 2 touch points.
Joker, with it disabled is there no way to adjust it?
Probably, but youre screen has to be perfectly clean all the time.

As far as i know, it's rom specific. Only problem is the result of your efforts is a flashable zip compatible with CWM. So you'll need to be unlocked and rooted. But you'll still be able to stay on stock rom and make these changes so it won't affect the way your phone works in any way except of course, lack of 4gees. But honestly if youre gonna go that far might as well just install custom roms. So ya know, it's a decision youll have to make.

your best method is use the UOT Kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/ you make the mods you want for your phone and upload the files it tells you. It does the work for you then you reinstall them.
Its not simple but then its not real complicated either just make backups of whatever you do

Nah, cause you are replacing vital files. Normally you would, say, delete systemui.apk and replace it with the modified version with a file manager. Deleting systemui will crash the phone. That's why it must be changed either by throwing the modified files into the rom zip before flashing. Or by flashing the theme zip after rom installation.

Ninjamorph will let you extract the framework-res and SystemUI right on your phone. Problem is putting back the SystemUI via Ninjamorph will cause a bootloop. There may be a workaround for this but I never spent any time trying to figure it out. The app used to work great on the ogEVO but that was a lot easier to theme than the Photon in my opinion.

Im not entirely sure. I know that users of MOFs 2.3.5ish rom are unable to hit the server appropriately and that is as close to stock as possible (ie, no custom kernel, no unlock) except for being rooted. Then again, MOF could have made other changes im not aware of that could possible break the ability. I would say, if you are stock and rooted, try it. If that doesnt work, we know you must be completely stock.

Does it matter that i am still on 2.3.4 because i don't want to update the firmware and lose the ability to unlock the bootloader if i please.
Been about 8 months since anyone has created a topic on this according to the similar threads feed. Any stable ROMs for the RAZR yet? I use my phone for work and made the mistake of rooting the other day, now I have major battery loss with screen heat issues. I'm just running the stock ROM rooted with the bloatware removed. Since I use this for work, I need 100% functionality with no loss of anything. I appreciate any help regarding this, or pointing me in the direction of a stable ROM. Thank you!
I think there is about one of these a week actually, but I too use my phone for work and needed absolutely stable. Try eclipse or simplex, they are stock based very stable and smooth, with great battery.
I was running simplex, but got an itch to try the new full throttle and its super nice so far, I think I have an addiction to flashing.
