[Atrix 4G General] professor_chaos:
Why have things been so quiet on the dev front lately?

There was an initial flurry of activity, and most of the big ticket items were taken care of like rooting, sideloading, enabling tethering, webtop hacks, HDMI mirroring, etc. Thanks to DG and the other devs for that!

However, afaik we've only got 2 ROMs so far. I was hoping to join in the dev community when I get the time, but there doesn't seem to be much of one anymore.

Other moto devices with locked bootloaders do have significantly more activity. I'm tempted to jump ship to the Verizon Thunderbolt now... pity because I really like the Atrix despite it's locked bootloader.

(I don't mean to disparage the work done so far... I realize that one of the reasons activity has slowed down is because the big ticket items have been taken care of :-)
[Atrix 4G General] Namuh:
Like I've stated in another post in a different thread. Without an unlocked bootloader, you're going to be hearing crickets in these forums soon, as peoples 30 day trial periods are soon coming up. Sure not everyone is returning it but no dev support means a dead device for those of us that want custom roms. There is nothing more to say. If for some off chance the bootloader becomes unlocked you can always buy it again if you still want to support motorola. But don't keep this device based on hope. Accept that moto screwed you and return it while you still can. I am ;) 7 days to go...
[Atrix 4G General] professor_chaos:
No, I'm not keeping it based on hope. I want to keep it because I really like the form factor of the phone as well as its resolution and battery life. I also wanted a phone with HDMI out.

You don't need a custom kernel to have a ROM - sure that imposes limitations on what you can do. In fact, the GingerBlur ROM proved that you can get some enhancements of newer Android releases without changing the kernel.

I can understand though that fewer DEVs would be motivated to work on a phone with a locked/signed bootloader. However, the Droid X forums seem to be pretty active...
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
i too am a little disappointed at the shrinking dev base - i've seen some leave. however of AT&T android phones, regardless of the software this one appeals to me the most for its form factor/size (i wanted 4" over 4.3"), front-camera and color (all black). the HDMI out (+enabled webtop) is nice too, along with the screen resolution.
[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
'Tis a shame. From what I've been hearing, the Atrix was a sales flop. So much wasted potential.

Well, I'm sticking with it regardless. I got it on launch day and I plan to enjoy it to the fullest.

The tegra 2 game that I want isn't even out yet.
[Atrix 4G General] professor_chaos:
Maybe this'll be a lesson for Motorola and they might decide to unlock the bootloader after all. I'm this close to jumping ship to the HTC Thunderbolt... I'll probably be grandfathered into their unlimited plan for the foreseeable future.

I tried to get ATT to give me an additional GB by threatening to switch to Verizon, but all they gave me was crappy $25 credit. **** Motorola and **** ATT!!
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
I just bought a thunderbolt. Patiently awaiting its arrival.

Screw moto.
[Atrix 4G General] professor_chaos:
I just found out that DG has left us... this totally blows, though at least Kenneth is still working on the GingerBlur ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] clubtech:
Did just that and never looked back. LTE Blows at&t out the water where I live and even tough single core...it feels just as fast.
[Atrix 4G General] Smallsmx3:
It does suck we have one person creating roms. Ken is doing an amazing job but only one man can only do so much. I feel that if more devs were here creating roms people would stick around. I plan on keeping mine for awhile since I bought it outright...I'm due for an upgrade soon so well see.
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
I'm so mad...these devs see all this negative stuff about how people don't like their Atrix, why the hell WOULD they want to develop for it? Everyone saying "i'm leaving" "returning it" "bought htc (whatever)" doesn't help. Keep it positive at least. Nobody wants to do work for a bunch of winers...

If you're going to return it, keep it to yourself. Nobody cares.

I'm surprised Ken's still working for all of you moaners.

A new rule would be nice, say something useful or don't say anything at all.
[Atrix 4G General] Pinepig:
It's not the devs fault that Moto screwed them, most folks got it on the hint that moto had changed for the better and was going to make the bootloader open.

I can't blame the folks for taking them back.

Hell I have a Captivate, Hardware outstanding ( just like the Atrix, ok minus the GPS ) Software flat out sucks, at least the devs could do something with the Captivate with the open bootloader. It makes it a pretty damn good phone.

Just imagine what could done with the Atrix if the devs could actually do something with it, Kens isn't real happy either as I'm sure his considerable talent is being stifled by Moto, that burns his ass a lot more than folks returning it because moto rammed it home hard.

I'm sitting on couple of upgrades right now and would get the Atrix in a heartbeat IF Moto and ATT would allow it to be open for the devs. In the meantime I'll wait and may switch to Sprint ( even though I've been Orange for over ten years ) for the Evo3d ( think I read somewhere it has Wimax and LTE radios in it ), that thing is looking real nice and about as future proof as it get's in this industry.
[Atrix 4G General] Exador:
Atrix is a bust Motorola really blew it with the locked bootloader. They underestimated the developer communities influence and it's coming back to bite them in their fat greedy ass.
[Atrix 4G General] Devnant:
It's not like everyone is saying that. But the ones saying that are really being vocal about it. I don't get all the hate. Phone has not even one month and mostly I see people complaining about the locked bootloader. Eventually, that will get cracked.
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
such optimism. The droidX has been out how long? That is still locked down nice and good. I know there are differences, but be reasonable here. It would appear MOTO knows what they are doing.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
and at the same time they absolutely have no idea what they are doing to themselves
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
i don't believe this statement for a second. I really don't think this phone is being returned in droves by average users.

in the Eyes of Motorola reliability for 90% of users > support of 10% who want to hack. and a locked down phone is much better for reliability.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Given the specs of this phone and the capabilities I think that the development community represents a higher percentage in the overall buyers base for this phone. Rooting and custom ROMs are becoming more "fashionable" to average users. I'm not saying that there will be an immediate impact within the lifespan of this phone but if Moto continues these methods it will turn around to bite them
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
look at the other dual core tegra phone(optimus 2x). the devs and the the people there seems to be really happy with their phone now that clockwordmod is available and some custom kernels are already taking into place(optimus 2x is not yet release here in US and some part of europe)

so i think the locked bootloader is one of the major culprit why most devs are leaving atrix and so are some people who wants custom roms for their phone. its a big disppointment really, moto and at&t are [insert word here] :)

its a good phone but motorola is acting like apple.

[Droid X General] oooitzalex:
I did a data wipe/factory reset and formatted my sdcard (using clockwork recovery) because I wanted to go back to stock for a while and when i rebooted it just got stuck on the Motorola sign. Now i can't even get to the boot loader to do a restore. Am I screwed? By the way i'm a noob. I was running Liberty 1.5 with sdk 2.2.1

I saw this link when I did a search, will this work with a Droid X? I dunno how similar the D2 is to the Dx. Please help! lol
[Droid X General] toddman:
Don't give up hope, there are a lot of smart people on here. Wish I had the answer for you. I'll be following this.
[Droid X General] oooitzalex:
Ok so I downloaded RSD Lite and the SBF file I needed and the necessary motorola driver for my phone to show up on RSD. I loaded the SBF file but It won't let me click the start button to start flashing it. What's up with that? I pressed the ON/OFF button and the two volume buttons to get to the bootloader and it worked but I don't know what to do after that >< I only have one PHONE! lol
[Droid X General] oooitzalex:
Ok so i plugged in my SD Card and it is completely empty. So does that mean that my phone is completely wiped also since I did a Factory Reset/ Wipe and I did a Data Wipe and User APP wipe thinking i would go back to factory reset. The problem is I don't know how to fix this. I tried looking for a topic that explains it as well as the D2 write up
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Are you using rsd lite4.8 , that version worked well for me. Also make sure your phone is selected before you press start.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0jrXqqiepI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Droid X General] oooitzalex:
I tried the SBF flash with RSD lite but when i hit the start button and then it said FAIL. I redownloaded for 4 diff sites same file just in case the file was corrupted or something. Also tried extracting it into my C: drive since someone said thAT worked but didn't for me. Yes I had enough battery, yes i got to the recovery menu holding the HOME key and the power button at the same time and when i selected the factory reset option it says that the directory doesn't exist anymore. I think the message was something like "E: cache/recovery/command does not exist" and then I selected update.zip and said: "E: sdcard/update.zip directory not found or does not exist. cannot find file." Please help, I think I may have just wiped everything COMPLETELY. Including my onboard memory, not just my sdcard.
[Droid X General] oooitzalex:
Also in the Android System Recovery <3e> at the bottom where all the command line is it says: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command and when i select apply sdcard :update.zip. The command line reads "E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)

E:signature verification failed, installation aborted. any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
You flash the sbf from your computer using rsd lite not clockwork recovery on the phone, you must be in bootloader mode for rsd lite to see your phone, to get to bootloader pull battery replace battery, hold power, volume down, and camera at the same time youll see a small screen flash at this point release the buttons this should get you to bootloader, also make sure the sbf file is not zipped
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
i had the same thread about 3 months ago wen i had the same problem. use the search bar and find it cuz it has all the answers
[Droid X General] oooitzalex:
Already did that! read above.

and YES i know not to use clockwork. i'm not a total noob. I've tried so many diff things. Please read all my posts before you just tell me to do something I've already said i did.
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
do a full sbf
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Im sorry I did read all your post before posting that, I was just a liitle confused, you made it sound like u were trying to flash sbf through clockwork. And I was begining to think you were confusing the stock recovery with the bootloader (two seperate things) obviously rsd lite wont recognize the phone unless you are in bootloader, u had said you pressed volume and power to get to bootloader if so u would be in clockwork not bootloader, bootloader is power volumedown and camera... Just trying to help
[Droid X General] oooitzalex:
I was in the boot loader when i tried the sbf flash. bottom line, all my files on sdcard and possibly my phone as well have been wiped but can still get into the boot loader. the problem is, i have tried so many diff things and none if them have worked.

Would putting all the original files from someone elses stock dx and put them on my sdcard make it so i can do a system restore? Has anyone tried that? It seems pretty logical considering that's where my all your files/directories go when you root.
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
Gonto droid life and read on how to do the full sbf, i havent done it in a DX in a while. Butit seems that you are missing a step somewhere, just key in sbf on droid life. Im not saying that you dont know how to do it. Just suggesting read up and make sure u arent missing anything
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zengelbaddie:
Hi all,

I own a T-Mobile G2. I finished permanently rooting it.

I have issues connecting it to my local carrier SIM (Airtel). I do not have the unlock codes.

*a) I want to know the procedure so that it works with any SIM card.

*b) does changing the radio help?

*c) Im willing to install Cyanogenmod ROM.. by doing so will be able to use any SIM card?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Follow the guide in the wiki to fully root your device, this will also unlock your SIM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
Did you run gfree? Or just flash the engineering bootloader (which should *NEVER* be done without first running gfree...)?

gfree unlocks *EVERYTHING*. If you ran it and it still doesn't work right, then there's something else going on that is unrelated to the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zengelbaddie:
i did use gfree...

Thanks for the responses.. I was able use my Phone. Thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malickie:
so just for reference s-off means the phone is sim unlocked I am guessing?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
No it means security off.... i think
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Not necessarily, but this will be the case most of the time. The default behavior of gfree is to turn S-OFF as well as SIM-Unlock and sets a universal CID. It would be possible to run gfree to turn S-OFF without SIM-Unlock but you would need to go out of your way to do so and I'm not sure why anyone would want to.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coszy:
i used gfree too.

you can search on youtube, how to do it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malickie:
Yea I actually looked around the internet after I asked this question and found a way to verify what is actually open/unlocked and what not with a gfree verify thing through adb and yea it's all unlocked and what not the -f which they have you do unlock everything if you wanted it none simunlocked its more of a pain to do than just -f anyway thank you for the information.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cataldi1122:
Gfree method works

I used gfree in the past with mytouch 4g works great ,its to much of a pain to unlock things individualy. Where do I find gfree for g2 vision?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
Gfree is the same for all devices that use it (Ace, Vision, Glacier)

Limited Flash support in Aurora?

I just did a routine update of the nightly build of Firefox Aurora 6.0a2 onto my Galaxy Tab and suddenly realised that it has some Flash (well, specifically Youtube it seems) support :eek:

Was just browsing on Android Central and clicked on the video guide for the Google Maps Download Offline Maps guide when I realised it was playing in Firefox. :p

On my OC'ed Galaxy Tab the youtube video was still a bit jerky, but this is an alpha build of Firefox so it's understandable. I'd imagine the video would play nicely on my SGS2 in Aurora.

See screenshot for proof ;)

Now with the progress of Cracking Boot loader from the main Big X10 Forum... anyone is working on a custom Kernel for the U20a?

Regards!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newtron_b1:
the bootloader for x10 mini pro is not cracked. I don't think its possible for now! but surely owain and other guys will make it work!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
it is not cracked but with custom exec tool you can replace kernel with it

i already did it but it gives a ****load of bugs but working on it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
yes thats correct you can use kexec tool to boot a new kernel on the fly. but its always full of unexpected bugs :D

owain you can look in the sony ericsson kernel for the bootflags the zimage will use. and maybe use this as your rootdevice=blablablafromzimage or make a custom image on the sd card but new kernel will need mmc support compiled into it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newtron_b1:
see i told you!! this man can do anything!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolframio74:
as someone say it, custom kernel on the fly is now possible (that was the progress for bootloader), and that mean developers can do somethis similar to the temporal CFW for the PSP 3XXX used for 3 years!, now is permament CFW

nice to hear it!!!! you are the master of the minis! xD, search the mos compatible kernel build then start editing and puting drivers and we are set, my best Regards!

i use SE as base otherwise we don't see a kernel for 2 years xD
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Very true its a pain in the ass to port specfic drivers to new kernels and it eats a lot of time!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolframio74:

From the front page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990606

Looks very nice to make the stock CM7 boot animation a bit fancier!

Thanks to Six6Sicks, the author of CM7-3D, I have received permission to resize v2 to MDPI (320 x 480) for the Droid Eris and release it here for anyone's usage.

There are reasons v1 shouldn't be resized and he plans on re-releasing an updated v1 which should resize just fine.

All I did was resize the PNGs. I've titled this thread the same as Six6Sicks' you can tell if it's in sync with any changes he makes to the boot animations in his thread in the future.

I accidentally put the screenshot for v1 up instead of v2. Here's the correct screenshot. The zip file was correct, just not the picture in this post.

Rename to bootanimation.zip and use Root Explorer or your favorite way to place it in system/media

I tested it and it does lag the first time through the sequence for me, although it speeds up to a non-laggy speed after that.

This is NOT a flashable zip.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] B3L13V3:
it looks sweet Workshed and Tazz have them on their Gingerbread roms...I

like v1 a little better :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Swifty31703:
I just put v1 on my Eris and it's bit laggy at first but works fine. It just needs to be resized. You can't see the text at the top and some of the spinning circle gets cut off. Maybe someone who knows what they are doing would be kind enough to resize it for our small screens.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] roirraW "edor" ehT:
My bad, for some reason I thought it was already the proper size for the Eris...thanks for letting me know!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] B3L13V3:
you can rip v2 out of tazz's and shed's gingerbread roms...they are the correct size as i wouldn't know how to go about mass resizing png's....:o
