http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/20/atandt-agrees-to-buy-t-mobile-from-deutsche-telekom/

pretty irrelevant to the fascinate but i find it interesting. What can this mean for Verizon?
[Fascinate General] gkirby11:
Well speaking from being a former part of the Alltel/AT&T merger....

I see Verizon gaining thousands of new users. The whole merger was sloppy, a real pain in my arse. No transparency, terrible communication when I had questions, and the numerous setback for the transition actually made it cheaper for me to pay my ETF with Alltel, start a new contract with Verizon, and pick of a fascinate then to stay and wait.

AT&T is really disconnected from their customers and I'm sorry but this is a huge loss if AT&T attempts to merge the two companies. :(

Kind of funny seeing the T-mobile commercials poke fun at AT&T now.....
[Fascinate General] Longcat14:
T-Mobile Fan here.

I'll most likely be joining the Verizon family, but I'm still deciding over the Thunderbolt or the Fascinate. I love Galaxy S phones, but the Thunderbolt is newer + by HTC.... I'll wait a bit.
[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
If you're gonna switch now is a good time, while you can get a good deal on the t-bolt. The thunderbolt is definately better than the fascinate if you are coming from a different carrier.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
So much for T-Mo having the best phones and good pricing options...
[Fascinate General] Longcat14:
That's the sad thing. I love T-Mobile, but will switch to Verizon before they become AT&T-Mobile.
[Fascinate General] ezas:
If this goes through there will be only 3 nation wide Carriers. This won't be good for 'us'. Even less incentive for the carriers to be competitive. As it is they practically have a license to steal (along with Credit card companies and Broadband providers).
[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
not to mention gas companies.....
[Fascinate General] CrucialBT:
Absolutely nothing good, if anything, will come of this merger except a whole bunch of consumer raping. And to make matters worse, these 3 companies are so big no new company stands a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I wish I could claim credit for this deep insight, but credit goes to AntonX for describing this approach buried in another thread between a lot of whining.

From what I can tell, you do not need root to do this, just a working ADB connection. No additional on-phone software is required.

$ pm getInstallLocation
0[auto]
$ pm setInstallLocation 2
$ pm getInstallLocation
2[external]

Yep, that's it -- you just set the phone to use external storage for apps. Now when you go to manage your apps, the "Move to SD card" button is enabled for your apps (at least the user-installed ones).

You don't have to pm getInstallLocation -- It just confirms how things are set.

Simple? You bet!

If you look at the file system, you see these moved apps mounted through a loop device, just line any other natively moved app.

Since I'm risk adverse, I set things back the way they were before going on.

$ pm setInstallLocation 0
$ pm getInstallLocation
0[auto]

Unfortunately, I was unable to do it through Android Terminal Emulator. Apparently the permissions of the shell there aren't as "good" as the ones provided by ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s.rajkumar:
It works for most of the apps!! but still i am unable to move flash player (12mb), maps(9.45mb) etc...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I did move them to SD, but I had to uninstall them first with Titanium Backup, then reinstall from the Market (they both had to go into phone memory first), and only then set setInstallLocation to 2 and was able to do the move.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
nice find

but i think u need to be root for it as when you type command i am getting "permission denied"

edit.... i looks like terminal emulator problem....

[Android Apps and Games] vincej:
By fully editable, does this mean it will work on a Tab, 5x1 or 5x2? It looks really nice, and I am looking for something for weather on a Tab. Thanks for your work on this, even if it doesn't work on a Tab I will put this on my Fascinate or D1.
[Android Apps and Games] nolageek:
I played with it for almost 10 minutes and couldn't even figure out hoe to show a clock. All i see are color and alignment settings. Color and alignment of what i can't figure out.
[Android Apps and Games] knoxcoder:
Yes it supports those widget sizes. It is very easy to add additional sizes if one is desired.

After you add the first panel (canvas or stack) then you long press to add other elements. After talking with another user I see there is a need for a simple editor in addition to the advanced editor. I'm open to ideas on how that should work.
[Android Apps and Games] cs_sux:
Such a good work!

Thanks, knoxcoder!

Got some FC's while making a template.

Going to restore my layout from mClock tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] knoxcoder:
Send me the logcat output when you get FCs so I can track them down.

As a side note, I have the weather ready. I don't have all the features that I want to support but at least the basics work. My next task is to make a create wizard that will walk you through the steps of making a simple layout. Once I get it ready I'll release the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
If you could add missed calls/sms/email in a simple minimalistic way like TxMissed Widget is supposed to do (it's really buggy, and dev has no time to mess with it) I would love you long time! And it's something I would definitely pay for.
[Android Apps and Games] knoxcoder:
That shouldn't be too difficult. I was also interested in what devmil did with Minimalistic Text and tasker. My plan was to replicate that as well.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Please do! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who would really want it, even if you put that feature in a pay version.. Otherwise you need to get your donate to me button added.
[Android Apps and Games] sleepyxda:
Integrating tasker variables is a great idea. Maybe even as attributes e.g. text(%TXTCOLOR;%TXTSIZE;%TXTFONT).

[Android Apps and Games] knoxcoder:
The way I handle properties should allow tasker variables easily. In fact you should be able to set everything through them if you wanted.

Google is getting ready to allow in app purchases so I think I will just have a free version that you can donate from the app.

Midget doesn't quite work. I'm looking for something that describes it. Like make your own clock or minimalistic text.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurfit:
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I've been lurking around for the past 2 months learning everything I can about android and the Atrix. Prior to this, I've never given much thought about smartphones.

I passed up the iphone 4 in janurary cause it was too late into it's life cycle so I've decided to go with Android. I want a phone that will last till the end of my contract (3 years). The Atrix caught my eye with its Tegra 2 duel core (Big Nvidia fan) which I naturally thought would be a perfect candidate.

I was really set on buying this phone up until today when My dad visited a Bell store. It turns out that particular store didn't even get one sale. It's in a decent location too (Missisauga, beside Toronto).

My guess is that if the phone is not selling then Motorola probably won't support it for long. And with the locked bootloader, I'd be safer getting an Iphone which will probably get more updates that this for sure. I don't know if I can last 3 years with the locked bootloader and Moto's lack of updates. Probly a big gamble to whether it'll get 2.4. It's a real shame considering this phone is a major leap over all the other ones out right now.

What do you think guys? Asking this in a Atrix forum probably isn't the best idea but I'm sure some of you went through this too before you shelled out all that cash.

Keep in mind I live in Canada and only have access to a limited amount of high end phones. If I decide not to get this, then it's the Iphone 5 or galaxy s2 for me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tennis11:
It's a flagship phone, of course it'll get updated...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Exactly! Just like the sgs phones....oh..wait...nvm.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuh:
Hardware wise its an amazing phone. Software wise it blows. Well, that is until you root it, and freeze the bloat and install a different launcher. After that then its super snappy and tears through tegra games and movies. However if you like to tinker with roms and such then I can't recommend it. It's the reason why mine is going back in exactly 8 days. No dev support for it due to it having a locked boot loader and its gonna be crickets in this forum soon. Locked boot loader means that if moto decides not to upgrade the Atrix soon or at all then you have no way of updating it yourself. So thats the reason mine is going back. Remember if you could care less about custom roms and could care less about being stuck on 2.2 for who knows how long then yes you will probably like the Atrix. I'm moving on to more "open" waters. ;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurfit:
Sure, we'll get 2.3 maybe even 2.4, but what about a third one...? I doubt it.

2.4 is coming out in a few month and that'll be barely into the 3 year's of death I have to sign.

Hows it selling in the U.S? Does anyone know?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seven2099:
Get the Canadian Atrix.

Bought it, LOVED it. Had to unlock it, it worked and now I'm using it on FIDO.

All this stuff about the bloat, I will say I've had the phone since the 17th of march, and have played with it these last 4 days and I tried all launchers major launchers, all this talk of "bloat" rang very untrue to me, at least with the Bell version of the phone..

The smoothest one yet is the stock one. LauncherPro was great but the moment you turn on a Live Wallpaper that thing lags up like nothing else.

Buy it. You will not regret it. ESP the battery life. 4 days and counting, only have charged it 2 times with HEAVY heavy usage. Very good stuff.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuh:
The reason why it lagged so bad is because you're supposed to freeze blur from running in the background while you run another launcher at the same time. But Im sure you already knew that..;) I agree with battery life though. Its great but thats still part of my hardware argument.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seven2099:
Honestly, even after having frozen stuff.. Motoblur home is still the smoothest when using a live wallpaper.

Having said that, do you really want a live wallpaper? (maybe yes, maybe no..) either way. All this talk about bloat, makes a TINY impact on performance. This phone is a beast, and it handles like so.

The HDMI/Webtop features are ridiculous. Very nice.

Just flash to one of the 2.2.1 JS ROMS such as Loki, Teleforce, Sweet Honey 2.5, Juwe's, Atriarc (my personal fav).

Then download the theme from the i9000 forum, open the zip, remove the services.jar, resign the zip and flash thru CWM and viola.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Vibrantnew-b:
I may be wrong and someone please correct me if I am but I don't think you can just open the zip and remove the services.jar? I believe you need to download 7zip or a similar program and do it from there.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Vibrantnew-b:
If someone can tell me how to attach the zip after I remove the services.jar I will upload it for anyone that wants it. When posting here on XDA zip files can be no bigger than 8.0mb, this zip is 42.6mb. Probably a little smaller once services.jar is removed.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mightykc:
Yes sorry, you would need to use 7zip to open the archive and remove the services.jar file. Then use AutoSign to resign the zip
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Vibrantnew-b:
I removed the services.jar but I am not at all familiar with Autosign. I did just download it to check it out but I have no clue of what to do next? I read a little on it and it's way over my head. I was able to take another theme I liked and get running fine on my phone but when it comes to getting these themes back up here on XDA for others I'm not sure how to do it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mightykc:
run autosign.bat.

Then:

select option 1, type yes, hit enter (if FC thats ok)

select option 2, type yes, hit enter

select option 3, type yest, hit enter

select option 4, type in path of zip file that needs to be signed, hit enter.

When done, then the zip is now signed and can be installed thru CWM

As far as posting theme on here, you need to upload the theme to website like www.multiupload.com. Then once its uploaded paste the link on here

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T311:
I flat can't get it to populate a "to:" field. It is obvious that it "sees" my contacts, because if I do a google search of the name of one of my contacts, it pops up, last name spelled perfectly, even with odd names. So it's obviously seeing that in my contacts. BUT, I absolutely can't get it to recognize anything spoken for the "to:" field. I exported contacts to SD card, then imported that back to google (per a suggestion I read) and that didn't help either. There was 1 contact I could get to work, but when I did the import/export, it moved everything into "my contacts" on my gmail acct and now not even that one works.

It's confusing, because it obviously can "see" my contacts based on the fact that it spells names right if I speak a google search, and it obviously CAN work if you find the right recipe for how the contacts are stored in gmail, based on the fact that (1) of my contacts worked, but I can't figure it all out.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjalhjy:
Hi guys, I was trying to flash new ROM via CWM. However, cwm wasn't able to read the zip file saying something about script is not supported blah blah blah... Browsing thru xda forum, I found out that this problem has caused due to the cwm version(recently updated to cwm3.0.0.8) , or at least I want to believe it this way. So lastnight I ended up finding a thread started by jt1134 which I basically helped out lots of ppl who were struggling with similar problem as mine. But the thing is when I was trying to download the files, cwm-recovery-ALL.zip and cwm-recovery-ALL odin. The download links were broken giving me an error message. So guys, if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it pleaseeeeeeeee.

to shorten it down, the link is broken, I think. So if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it thank you.............. :):):)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkirby11:
Hello jjalhjy

I will make this easy for the both of us!

Direct your browser to this link:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999802

Once there scroll down to the 5th post (#5) where I linked both the page you referenced (broken links) and a link to a working download of the ".tar" file (was earlier! :rolleyes:).

If you need the .zip file scroll down to post 9 (#9) where I have linked it.

A quick guide to getting you flashed.

*note* I am assuming you cannot use .zip files due to the incompatible script error! This is for using odin.

1. Put phone in download mode via the power menu if on superclean. If not turn off the power, pull battery, plug into computer, hold "down" on the volume rocker till the yellow triangle "download" screen appears

2. download the ".tar" version of cwr all

3. Launch odin

4. Click the PDA button and search for the ".tar" file and select it -> then hit "ok"

5. Run the file in odin, wait for the phone to reboot.

6. put your battery back in and test recovery mode to see how it looks!

*whew*

good luck! :D
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjalhjy:
Wow that was a fast reply! Thank you! A quick question tho, 1. Do you know if I have to uninstall ROMmanager and delete update.zip file in my sd card before I even start flashing via using odin. 2. After following your instruction step by step, and let's say if it works. Do I still need to download ROMmanager? 3. I remember reading someone's thread in xda saying it is always necessary to flash new cwm after flashing a ROM (I always have it done using ROMmanager but now things have changed, obvisouly. So yea, how would I flash new CWM after flashing a ROM from now?

Sorry if these questions sound so newbyyyy hehe and thanks again! :):)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkirby11:
It is advised (so I have read) that you should not use ROM manager with the Fascinate. While it is a powerful tool, it is just not 100% Fascinate friendly yet. Also I have never had to remove/mess with the update.zip on my SD card. Heck as far as I know you can delete it after using ODIN with the new cwr-all.

No. I would use the Development Thread here in the fascinate section for your ROMS. ROM manager is just not made for us.....yet! :(

I personally have never done this. To the best of my knowledge (and real life experience) cwr-all (red version) is the current and most up-to-date version (for the Fascinate). Once I ODIN-ed over the cwr-all I have not updated it once. You should be fine to flash it and flash ROMs as you please!

Rockplayer plays my AVIs fine, with a bit of audio lag that's OK most of the time. My problem is that I like to fill the screen of my NC, and when I do that, the aspect ratio is distorted (and so is the picture, of course).

Rockplayer is supposed to fill the screen and keep the aspect ratio, but I cannot find any way to control it by setting preferences.

Also, I can't find a way to terminate Rockplayer, even using Advanced Task Killer. If I want to switch to a different video in the middle of one that's current playing, I can't do it.
