So if you have a negative opinion you are not allowed to post here? Yes I'm working for a competitive company trying to spread the word about Atrix in the most accessible and mainstream forum... Come on.

I own the phone but I am always objective when it comes to judging my purchase, I had a lot more complaints about my previous Desire if that makes you feel better.

Yes it's a finger print scanner but they could have made it differently, either by separating the button from it, placing a power-button on top of the phone like other phones and keep the scanner where it is, or maybe where the volume buttons are. Or they could have moved the whole button+scanner to the top of the phone.

Another bad thing is that the plastic / battery cover is starting to squeak after only a couple of days use.

Coming from a nexus s... not very happy at all. Way slower data. Slower all around.
[Atrix 4G General] robwscott83:
I am surprised to only see one comment about the laptop dock this is a great accessory I also use mine on a regular basis in fact the whole webtop experience is and exciting feet of technology. I have had quite a few a android devices some including milestone(should tell u something there) Sony experia x10 nexus one desire z(g2) and this by far is the best device I have owned not a moto fan but specs alone made me want this phone and although I am missing cm7 this is still an amazing.g phone...
[Atrix 4G General] nalorite:
My previous phone was the n1.

The atrix obviously has a lot of nice hardware improvements: fingerprint scanner, front facing camera, high resolution screen, a very nice rear speaker, and a big chunk of RAM that is quite noticeable when lots of things are running.

The problem with the atrix is its software. My n1 with gingerbread will run as fast as the atrix in almost all cases (with the notable exception of heavy multitasking), and in some cases even seems a little smoother. Also, I am pretty sure the atrix is doing some unnecessary work in the background that drains the battery, because with its 1930 mAh battery it is comparable to the n1's battery life. And also moto seems to have not followed android standards with the atrix because when it first came out, it was incompatible with every single VOIP app on the market. This is something that has gotten better as app developers added hacks to make it work, and will continue to improve with time.

Many of the problems with the atrix can be (and have been) solved with hacking, but given the limited dev support for the phone you may be waiting for a while until its true potential is seen. Just hope it's before something better comes out.
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
I sold my atrix but will never regret it. Im enjoying every inch of my new phone's unlocked bootloader and great Software. :) i can't wait for something that might not happen. I cant see any devs doing the cracking job. Im not *****ing, im just saying what i feel about it.
[Atrix 4G General] Made2Last:
I have been happy with most everything on the atrix. Except listen. Listen used to be kind of buggy, but worked ok on my Streak. Now, it is nearly broke.
[Atrix 4G General] gonka95:
I upgraded to the Atrix after 4 yrs of waiting for this type of phone. I received the 'update' and the battery life is much better. I also have Regina 3D (available for free in the market) which is better than Motoblur. I came from the HTC HD2, which is a huge change when it comes to 'doing what you want'! Luckily I still have it but with WP7, which I have working. The only drawback to the Atrix is the Android 2.2.1 and that makes me laugh! Because... you put out an awesome phone with an older system? Ouch! My daughter's Inspire can get an upgrade to CM7 but not this one!???!

I have patience and an HD2, so I can wait.;)

All in all, great phone. So far....
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
I am NOT happy with my purchase.

If I could return it (I can't, bought it off ebay) I would do it in a heart beat, get the Nexus S for $200 cheaper, and get a nice custom made ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] bandityo:
Been very happy with my Atrix..coming from Spring 9650 with os6

[Atrix 4G General] Captain1995:
How much did you pay for the Atrix??? If you got the Nexus S for $200 cheaper. I paid $99 for my Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Alejandrissimo:
yes it would be 1000% faster but devs will find some way to do this and when it happend a tons of devs will make stuff for atrix.

Obviously crack an encrypted bootloader its almost impossible, and we have X10 case, with his locked bootloader we have 100% working froyo unofficial, and gingerbread on the way, and now with bootloader bypassed we have the first modded x10 kernels

We need to learn to wait or buy a Google experience phone :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] c_man:
The question is whether its too late... i.e. do devs still have an interest in the Atrix? The big guns like CyanogenMod certainly don't :(
[Atrix 4G General] blunted09:
there are pleanty of devs that have interest in it. they are on irc where there is much less crap to sift through. Dont worry, read the first few posts in the motorola droid x development section. Were going through the same thing right now.

I wont give this phone up. Lucky for us, the stock rom (once rooted and motoblur is frozen) is pretty solid. Lets just hope an sbf leak for bell comes soon :(. This is motorola's flagship for a while, they wont give up on it at all.

Also, with the UK launch and the rest of europe getting this phone, there are going to be pleanty more coming. :)

Stay patient, it will happen.
[Atrix 4G General] knoshann:
I am happy with mine. At first I was pretty ticked about the bootloader being locked but as long as we get gingerbread I don't think it will matter much. I was thinking about getting a galaxy s 2 but I've read where google is expected to require all makers to lock the bootloader. No idea if that is true though. Anyway I am running the Gladiatrix rom and I am completely happy with this phone.
[Atrix 4G General] tom2517:
So far my Atrix has been alright, didn't have any of the "muted voice" problem, but I will probably sell it and get HTC Sensation or Galaxy SII when they come out.

It's not a bad phone, but nor is it an outstanding phone. I will keep it until the next new top of the line Android phone comes out.
[Atrix 4G General] meexoo:
I liked the atrix for what it offers and was considering buying it, but your comments concerns me! could it be that you ended up with a faulty unit or is it the same for all atrix owners around you?
[Atrix 4G General] fastbikedroid:
Silly things...

... Like many others once the speeds are uncapped and the OS gets updated it'll be great .. good hardware, iffy software so far.
[Atrix 4G General] Made2Last:
I don't think the camera takes bad pictures for a phone. Comparable to iphone 4 in my opinion. Front facing camera on every phone is bad. They are vga resolution, it takes ****ty pictures. Turn the phone around.
[Atrix 4G General] jason.hamilton:
I am very happy with my purchase. Its probably the best phone I have ever used. Very little complaints if any.
[Atrix 4G General] creativedevil:
Just a perfect phone. Yes, the MotoBlur is a pain, and lack of GingerBread is a deal breaker, and there are some issues people are not happy with such as voice quality and etc., but so far its been a pleasure...

Fast enough to beat any competition...

Gorgeous qHD screen and Higher Resolution is a +...

Battery Life is really good if not great...

Other Goodies...

Love my (M)Atrix :-)
[Atrix 4G General] ddust14:
Its growing on me :)
[Atrix 4G General] collirol:
This is a great device, more than a phone. I have only had the Atrix for a week, but no complaints so far. Movies look great, speedy browser, hdmi out works great, good camera, call clarity,...

Blur is not a deal breaker for me. Will root when the time is right.

Will get better when software takes advantage of the Atrix hardware.

IMHO, no company makes the perfect phone and never will. There will always be something more that we want. That and money is what drives the market.
[Atrix 4G General] rboone18:
I like the phone alot. Broke my wrist so this will be short. I just never realized how much id miss roming my phone just to make it different. I use two launchers just keep things different.
[Atrix 4G General] domonas:
I'm liking this phone a lot. I installed Go Launcher EX... so much snappier than MotoBlur (although I have to say I didn't hate the UI either). Coming from a N1, I do miss the custom roms and strong dev's, but I think it'll happen soon enough for this phone.
[Atrix 4G General] SomeGut:
In response to the title: yes. Best phone I've ever had. I love it.
[Atrix 4G General] habs101:
People keep saying how the phone lags?

i was curious to find out what are these legs

i have the bell canada version and its extremely responsive...

motoblur? i have removed all the widgets from the desktop

the only thing i dont like the motorola contacts book.

overall good phone.
[Atrix 4G General] nupicasso:
Honestly, the front camera on the iPhone 4 is twice as good. The Atrix was poor quality all the way around. I sold it quickly. That being said, I also sold my iPhone 4 due to the lack of functionality compared to Android. I'll hold off until the Samsung infuse... the only phone I regret getting rid of(due to carrier change) was the Samsung Vibrant. Minus Touchwiz, which isn't all that bad, Samsung makes the best Android phone with the best screen. Super Amoled is the way to go. Their camera and video camera are the best I've played with on the market.
[Atrix 4G General] tomnationwide:
I voted no. I like the phone, not love it. It's a very sweet and fast machine, but it's too small for a lot of the comforts of a larger screen. I didn't realize .3" would be so much but I wish I still used my old Droid X.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Try GO Contacts. It's an awesome replacement for Contacts. There's a separate Go Dialer included too with a different icon. I love it.

[Atrix 4G General] conan1600:
The rear cam takes a great pic but you have to be still. Now my hero had a wonderfull cam compared to this one. You could take motion pics and they were clear. Other thwn that small detail id have to say this is the best phone going. Response time is awe inspiring. Call quality has been very good. The radio pics up very well. Runs anything you can throw at it. Just use adw launcher and the ui is smooth as silk.

Would be great to see an unlocked bootloader though. Id luv ta see what cm and some others would be like. Still stock as a stick save adw, it out performs any other phone ive tested or owned by a mile.

I'm happy with it, but as its April 26th and that update was due for April, and with 4 days left, yea...Not really happy.. As ive had 2 ppl go "HUH?" "WHAT?" cuz of the voice quality issue. Plus I get prefect signal, next thing I know its gone and right back the next second. Gets annoying seeing the symbol go in and out over and over (lol punn)

happy now, after fixing the skype issue on atrix, will be happier when get 2.3 upgrade
[Atrix 4G General] dptnl:
Awesome "chuck Norris device",after heavy software modification also fast and stable as hell (after solving the reboot issues, caused by software, at least for me) awesome up time and it has a fingerprint scanner so I can make sure only me can use it without wasting time on type code/gestures for unlocking it every time.

Military grade accuracy when it comes to GPS, unlike my ex-galaxyS, it works

anywhere inside my car - heck, even indoors - performs perfect as cell phone and has a great battery life.

build quality is pretty good, not htc but far from being crappy samsung - with otterbox commuter it is plain solid and feels perfect in my hands.

My 3rd android device (had I7500 and captivate) - best phone I ever had,

and I'm far from being pleased easily.

Next upgrade will be 2gh+ smartphone with 2gb ram and fingerprint scanner (probably Motorola)- until then, not gonna switch, for anything, even if it takes 2-3 years from now.

I'm no longer interested in flashing ROM every week like I did with my captivate in the past since I spent a lot of hours setting a perfectly working custom system for me and my needs, but I do want to see unlocked bootloader for having the option for future android releases maintained by the community and most important gingerbread/1080p video recording support on my handset so I can get the most of it.

Best smartphone purchase choice I ever had, worth every full retail price penny - happy I didn't pick up iphone4 for the same price since my last android handset (cappy) made me frustrated.

motoblur (and all other bloat) sucks though, I don't care since I kicked it the moment I got my phone.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Yeah without bloat and uncapped speeds... Along with a black status bar, this phone is very slick.

Hey guys/girls. I'm creating a theme for Andromeda 3 and one thing I cannot fifure out is how to make my theme CWM flashable to test it.

I opened the zip from a different flashable theme, replaced the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk with the modified ones from Andromeda and repackaged them using Winrar. I have followed the guides to resign the APK's and ZIP but no mater what I do, after a reboot I get a solid black screen and the phone vibrates.

Im not sure what I am doing wrong because I thought that was all that went into creating a CWM file.

Thanks in advance......

[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Should also point out that if you're decompiling the framework apks with apktool, modifying any of the xml's or code, and recompiling, you'll need to sign the resulting apk or you'll end up with a boot loop.
[Captivate General] timmytim:
Actually, I'm just opening the apk's with winrar. I make the changes to the folders/files and rezip them with Winrar with Store mode (no compression?) Then I resign them with testsign.jar.

I have read the themeing guides but they are really lacking in the small details dept.
[Captivate General] ryude:
Wrong.

Never resign system apks such as framework-res or twframework-res. His problem has nothing to do with the signature.

If you are simply copying over files inside the apk and getting this error, then you are adding more files than was originally inside the apk. I repeat, DO NOT ADD FILES THAT ARE NOT ALREADY INSIDE UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO RE-COMPILE THE RESOURCES.ASRC!

Also, use 7-zip to edit apks when you just want to overwrite files. Never unzip, or re-zip. Just right-click > 7-zip > Open Archive > Drag and drop files > close the window > you're done

Edit: Also, this goes in Q&A not General.
[Captivate General] timmytim:
Ok, thanks man.

Will I need to resign the final theme.zip before flashing it?

Also, can't I just grab the updater-script from another theme.zip and us it in my mine?
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
I didn't say anything about resigning? Apktool creates an entirely new, unsigned apk, which unless I'm extremely mistaken you'll need to use if you intend to modify certain resources.
[Captivate General] ryude:
He doesn't need to use apktool, because he isn't edited any code.
[Captivate General] ryude:
No, you don't have to sign CWM zips because Clockwork doesn't check for a signature.

You could use another updater-script, but the problem with that is if it tries to perform an action on a file or folder that isn't inside your zip it will crash while flashing. You'll be left with a bricked phone and have to ODIN back to restore.
[Captivate General] TXLunchbox:
But what if he is lol? Cause that's what im trying to do and having some issues. Know of a good thread on this? Editing xml that is :)
[Captivate General] ryude:
If you're editing code, I recommend using apk manager since it will automatically recompile the resources.asrc for you. Just make sure to downgrade the apktool that comes with it to 1.3.1, 1.3.2 is known to cause problems with xml edits.

1. Set new project apk.

2. Decompile apk, if it's a system apk use the option for dependency apk and use twframework-res.apk as the dependency apk.

3. Edit your xml files.

4. Recompile, when asked use yes twice. It will tell you to delete files in the Keep folder.

5. Delete the resources.asrc if you edited any xml/added new files. Delete the files that you added/edited.

6. Once you're done it will automatically copy over the signature and use the compression that you set (default level 9, I recommend level 0).

Don't worry that it says "unsignedFramework-res.apk", it will work since it's a system apk because system apk signatures get copied over to the new file. Just rename it to Framework-res.apk or whatever you need it to be called.
