[HTC Inspire 4G] Namuh:
The Atrix, as a phone/text/ music/movies/games daily use mobile device, stands up well even in stock form in my experience. Even if it did have some annoying bugs here and there for me. (Spotty bluetooth, muffled voice syndrome, random rebooting.) The resolution, speed and tegra performance was great as well. Colors are a little to subdued for my tastes. Build quality is fine with me .Dual core is nice but there's nothing that really utilizes both cores right now.

Overall it was a good experience but I got bored fast even after rooting. My friends who have also bought an Atrix, who don't know or care about roms etc, love their Atrix in stock form and like it better than the iphone they upgraded from.The Atrix out of the box is a good, solid experience and is a powerhouse as a daily use mobile device. Even more so after I rooted it and froze bloatware and motoblur.

However, the Inspire allows me the ability to root, sim unlock, flash new roms, update kernels, radios, enable hsupa, sideload, and extend battery life. I did all of this as soon as I took it out of the box and I'm having a blast. Also the dev/user community here in the Inspire section is busy, lively and keeps me richly involved in all of these aspects of truly owning my phone.

These are the things that I want to do, and be involved in now and not somewhere down the road when the Atrix bootloader is finally free of its chains.If it ever will be. The Inspire wins me over right now and the Atrix will have to wait, as I sit on the side lines, and look forward to a time when a bootloader solution arrives. Until then I'm happy with the Inspire. It satisfies my want to tinker and make it mine. It's no slouch as a daily use device either. Overclocked to 1.8 and it powers through everything I want it to do. I also didn't want to support Motorola after locking the Atrix down like this. I don't want to wait, rely and HOPE until at&t and Motorola decide to update the Atrix either. For me, hope is not a good upgrade strategy!

TL;DR The Inspire won me over and the Atrix sucks ass for my needs. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] dan-says:
Better camera, unlocked bootloader, bigger screen, sense, price. Oh and I hate Motorola for their obscene pricing on the xoom.

[HTC Inspire 4G] jmarrale:
I am new to HTC before this I had the Samsung captivate that I had no problems with but the battery same as the inspire battery life. The motoblur kills the atrix I came to ATT from Verizon and left because of the droidx and the original Droid before that . Basically Motorola still has **** phones let's call them all the razer.

I like my inspire but still new to HTC . I am a little worried b/c of the hd2.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
HTC Build quality

Sense

Unlocked bootloader + XDA =

I don't like a cheesy feeling phone. Though the specs of the Atrix were marginally better, I didn't see anything that make me say 'wow'. After unlocking the Inspire and loading RCMix 6.x (which is on its way to being a Sense 3.0 ROM) I'm thrilled with the decision.

The only other phone which might turn my head is the HTC Sensation, but since it's not native to AT&T, is also only marginally better in specs, and nobody has been able to crack the bootloader, it wasn't worth waiting for.

Not saying the Atrix isn't a nice phone, it just wasn't for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sbshetley:
The Inspire must be one of the best phones i've ever had. Feels rugged, flexibility in ROMs and radios, huge screen, and happy it's NOT Motorola. They have lost touch with what people want. HTC still has it going strong!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

With the already well established DHD Dev section and the rapidly growing Inspire Dev section, I really didn't have much choice haha.

I've played with every ATT Android, from the crapflip to the atrix, and every SE, Dell, and Samsung in between.

The captivate flew off the shelves, and most (in our store anyway) brought them back for the iPhone 4, usually after having multiple crappy's with GPS woes.

Now we're seeing atrix buyers remorse, and guess what the people want... yep, the Inspire.

This phone really made ATT relevant in the Android arena, not the craptivate or the atrix.

For what you get, its more than enough phone for the average Joe, the price is fair, and its more than capable for the people who like to really tweak their devices.

Motoblur.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
I was on the Atrix band wagon before either phone came out. Bought the Inspire the day before it launched with the intentions of test driving it for 30 days and then exchanging it when the Atrix came out.

Loved the Inspire when I got it and when the Atrix finally came out, the small screen and fubar build turned me off. Didn't think twice about exchanging it then.
[HTC Inspire 4G] UnholyChaosAngel:
Mostly price and manufacturer for me. HTC seems to make good, high quality products and don't lock them down.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyamoV2:
not a fan of moto and haven't been for quite a few years. had an aria which i loved but was looking for a hardware upgrade and this fit perfectly. motoblur is terrible imo, but so is sense. but with the unlocked bootloader i am able to choose aosp instead. big win

Wow. First person I've seen that doesn't like Sense.

2 articles posted this evening, some quite major announcements.

Well I'm suprised nobody's posted this yet...

-Facebook Lives Inside Xperia™

-Next Generation Xperia™ minis
[Xperia Arc General] hung77:
Sorry, but this news is nothing interesting.

I dont care about facebook integration. They need to focus to fix the problems with the ARC instead of doing this.

And the release of some budget phones is also not interesting since this is the ARC place
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
seriously! FB integration! I dont give a rats arse..LOL

all that junk will only increase battery use and will be added into the list of bloatware to be removed!!
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Well.. I'm quite interested.. I use FB a fair bit so I'll be impressed if this is a good integration..... and I'm sure that the update won't just be for this.. they'll also include the 2.3.3 update and numerous bug fixes too.
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
yup I agree about the second half of your post..:P
[Xperia Arc General] krycho:
+1 :)

me too :)
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
+1 for FB integration and an update to Android 2.3.4 and a small mirror to use for video chat will be awesome :-)
[Xperia Arc General] vincent.hsy:
+1 ..... spot on
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
ROFL

instead of all these, I wish they would just put Stock android on this phone. Thats all I am asking...
[Xperia Arc General] devjadeja:
Oh !

Well I was the first one to mention yesterday that there was a Software Upgrade coming out ... but didn't know what was the Upgrade updating.

New ARCs are expected Within a Week or so.

Waiting .....

Anyways .. Thanks a lot for the Info dear.
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Gah! This sort of inane crap (who f*!&ing cares if it takes one less click to 'like' something on facebook?) is what makes it take longer to get updates out for the phone (see HTC sense). All of this deep integration means that every time there's a new version of android they have to reintegrate all of this garbage from scratch instead of just plonking the app on top.

There's already a facebook app. It works. We can use it if we want. Or use a browser. Leave it at that. Why does it have to have its tentacles into every part of the phone? IT'S JUST A WEBSITE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Jesus christ sony, you were heading in the right direction, don't balls it up now.
[Xperia Arc General] Karooluss:
Is that magic update ready to download?

Sent from my Xperia Arc
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
@daveybaby - I very much doubt that it will be deep integration.. it will be built into the SE launcher, like TS, and all the other widgets they've created.. that all now floats (mostly) above the OS layer so this FB integration won't affect that.
[Xperia Arc General] kosumo:
personallly i don't care of this kind of add. First they should keep android up to date and bugless than after, if they have time to lose adding theses features
[Xperia Arc General] superutp:
I am sure that all bugs will be fixed...the FB talk is a cover up...news cant read 'SE to fix bugs in the next update'. it sounds better for the company when you are releasing a new version with something new, even though it may not be anything many of us care about...and like most of the stock stuff, users who dont like the new FB stuff will not have to compulsorily use it..
[Xperia Arc General] wardy:
Native Google facebook integration has been removed from 2.3.3 and is not back in 2.3.4 either . I'm guessing it would need to be through Timescape and contact integration if they did improve it.
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
I hope that's the case. :)
[Xperia Arc General] law910:
hopefully this update fixes the most important bug.. the inability to connect to exchange mail.. ffs without that this phone is pretty damn useless... can't sync to my work email =="
[Xperia Arc General] ronniecross:
I thought that was just for google phones? I thought any phones that were sold with Facebook on the device was unaffected by that?
[Xperia Arc General] cherryfish:
I really hope you're right. It would make sense, actually. Nobody likes to admit that there were bugs on their product. ^^

So, well, nothing else to do apart from crossing fingers. :)

would mind letter me know what firmware version and region your phone is?

I am having trouble syncing my exchange from work and even hotmail. I don't think it has anything to do with the security thing. It just doesn't work. And my friend's Desire HD running 2.3 can have exchange set up without fail.

Why???
[General Questions and Answers] iggiewig:
I originally put this in the wrong forum..

The other day, I snapped my 8GB SD card, so I used a 2GB one to make a goldcard to debrand my HTC Desire. I put the generic FroYo ROM on there and all is well.

Can I make another goldcard using the 8GB I have just bought? If so, will it be OK to use the 8GB card as the update goldcard? Or do I need to put the 2GB one in every time I want to update my phone OTA?

Thanks in advance for your help
[General Questions and Answers] iggiewig:
Solved: I don't know if it was just me, but I actually had to put in the 2GB one to do the OTA update.

hello!

I tried 2 ginger roms (juves 4.1 and darkys rc5&6). Both are supposed to be based on jvb but only one (juve4.1) has my language in locale(romanian) and i like darkys better. Is there any language pack or something? I asked someone and he told me it's all about the baserom but they ar based on the same rom (jvb). shoul i flash another modem or something?i'm asking because i have seen several arabic paches aroud.

in some custom roms they will remove some locale from rom to save space, if you are familiar with compile and decompile then you can add your locale following this thread

I was a huge fan of Master's Deodexed 2.3.3 build and, so, I did the same with 2.3.4

This is a stock version of my daily use build with all the apps perfectly working (even Gtalk). Fastest Stock build you're going to find here on XDA

- Busybox

- Rooted

- Deodexed

- ZipAligned

- Stock Kernel (Flash whatever you like)

- My Hosts File (blocks almost all ads in internet/apps/games)

- HSDPA pimpage! (Aggressively switches networks)

- SpareParts installed

- lowmemorykiller tweak in init.rc (DO NOT USE A TASK KILLER APP OR BATTERY SAVER!!)

- Killer battery life

- build.prop tweaks

- No Radio included

*Wipe Data/Cache/System before flashing*

- If anyone is interested in my daily build I'd be happy to post that too. Basically, the same just with some tweaks and ALL the bloat removed - (boots in 3-4 secs)

Thanks goes to 'thedauntlessone' and 'mumchristmas' for the mirrors: (shoot them a Thanks!)

I posted thsi in the RAV rom thread as well.. but here it is again as its applicable to you too.

it is my first time trying out these roms and I have tried a few today, getting the hang of it now and can report that this rom as well as the one in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1065392

works best on my device.

All the others MIUI, nexus Sense etc etc all have a lot of errors popping up on market and camera etc. I was looking for a rooted rom on 2.3.4.

I just had one question. There are a lot of roms here that have VOODOO preloaded, but yours doesnt. I liked the functions on VOODOO with all the amplifier settings and colour tint adjustment that people are talking about since 2.3.3.

Do you plan to put that on here? I downloaded the application from market but it reports the kernel is not supported.

If not, is it already tweaked with the tint and amp settings that the voodoo app does?

Also, this may be a noob question. How do I change the fonts on my device. Can I choose any font and just apply it through a setting somewhere?
[Nexus S Android Development] dalvarez7:
Dumb question

Would this ROM work with the Sprint Nexus S 4G CDMA or is this only for GSM? I noticed it said it didn't have a radio included so I wasn't sure.
[Nexus S Android Development] du5t3r:
This is only for GSM...to answer your question, yes, the rom would flash but then your phone wouldn't work. Don't flash this build on your NS4G.

*To help you out...you can either send me a system dump or wait until I get my hands on a buddy of mine's phone to build you one*

Once you find the netarchy thread, scroll down to the downloads and you reentry to d/l the.

Netarchy Nexus-1.3.0.10cfs universal (universal for nonstock 2.3.4)

Once you have it downloaded just flash it, you don't have to wipe anything.

Yeah I understand you, I just installed (5 days ago) latest CM Nightly, and I do love the features, but I can tell you...the battery life is OUCH terrible and the signal is weaker IF YOU ARE IN A ALMOST NO SIGNAL AREA: like me

1. I leave the phone all night 7+ hours with NO SYNCH and I dont turn on the screen, and I cant show you my battery graphs, the phone has constantly AWAKE SPIKES (not screen on). I have no explanation why. I dont have any widgets or anything. Constantly!!!! WITH STOCK I WILL GET A 7 HOUR GAP WITH MAAAAYBE 1 AWAKE SPIKE in the battery stat.

2. I live in a very borderline area and in the battery stat I usually get the weakest form of green all day long, but almost never RED. With nightly i am 60% RED COLOR for no cell signal.

I have ported the Lucid theme from sonnysekhon for MetaMorph. I tried to build the CWM flash file, but the stock framework is FCing so the only way is to make a MetaMorph theme.

Skinned is frameworks-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.

Install MetaMorph, move the LucidMorph - Stock 2.3.4.zip to the AndroidThemes folder on your SD Card. Go to MetaMorph - Unzip/Extract new theme, choose the zip file then choose the LucidMorph.xml and apply all.

After applying for the first time, start MetaMorph again and apply it second time. Reboot.

I'm reading all this positive great stuff about this Rom but After trying so many times, wiping, re-installing again and again l have come no where near what some people are writting in. My boot times are up to 20 seconds, speed is average and I'm also experiencing the Google Talk video problem and a few other hang ups. I'm beginning to think that my Radio i9020AUCKD1 is one of the culprits. I've tried flashing XXKD1 which greatly enhanced my 3g speeds but it gets recognized as that weird no dgsxxkd1??, with the same other issues as the AUCKD1.

Has anyone looked into this? I'm just dying to get this apparently cool Rom to run right on my phone...
[Nexus S Android Development] Emilius:
ROM is perfect but I don't like memory tweak. It is emptying ram memory constantly and every time I use contacts, email, gtalk, calendar or anything else it is loading again and again. In my opinion this is step backwards.

If I have enough memory to hold all my daily apps and I do not need to clean non stop. I finish up always waiting to load again but should be just switch from app to app. No need to load anything. That save battery and give the speed.

This memory tweak should be setup to clean memory if needed, not just remove with no real reason. What is the point? I don't really see it. :confused:
