[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
You might have noticed that I have not updated the list with the most recent requests Here are the reasons:

1) I dropped att!! :eek::):D;):cool: GOOD BYE, CYA, SO LONG, EF YOU At&t!!

I now am the very proud owner of a Verizon Galaxy Nexus!:D

Verizons coverage, data speeds & customer service its no comparison to At&t's, it is in fact worlds above At&ts.. How did I ever put up with their At&ts crap for over 2 years!?:confused:

2) I work in a tax office and as the majority of you know it is tax time here in the states. That statement should speak for itself but just in case you dont understand: I am swamped at work right now with barely any time for anything!

So what now for the list? Well I am still trying to decide the best course of action but this is what I think I will do..

I think I will move the list to the Android General or Android Themes & Apps forum, and place a link here (in the OP) to the list that I will continue to update!

It will no longer be an Atrix specific list of apps but lets face it, most of these apps work on most Androids and visa versa: Most root apps work for the Atrix.

So now I want your opinion.. How do you prefer I handle the List of root apps (for the Atrix)? Do I remove the list from here completely and post a link to the new location where the list will continue to be updated? Do I post the link at the top of the list stating that only the List following the link will be updated? Is it necessary that I post a link on the new thread to this thread crediting that it started on the Atrix? Do you have a better suggestion?

Thank you all who have contributed to this list! Every suggestion is appreciated by me and will continue to make the list! (just when I get a lil more free time). Thank you all!:)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ifalldownalot:
maybe post a link to the other thread as a final post before locking this thread? and then just link this thread in the other thread.

or, if it's not too much, just copy paste the apps in the first post into the new thread, merging all root apps. and then have this thread locked.

that way, it's neater as people won't be commenting on this thread and everything will be referenced in the other thread.

Hey has anyone else experience this. I'm running Voodoo. It doesn't matter which one, when ever i go into recovery it says voodoo disabled enabled on the next reboot. However after the next reboot it still says the same thing. Also conversion says no.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
so, your problem is that you can't get it to convert voodoo?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
That may not be his problem, and it may not be a problem at all. My guess would be he is running CWM 2.5.1.x (CWM-recovery-all-3-30-fix) which erroneously showed voodoo was disabled and would be enabled on next reboot. CWM 3.0 corrected that display error.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostt021:
I am running CWR 2.5. Is that the problem?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rand4ll:
Its voodoo'd, just a bug in that version of cwm...update to 3 and it works fine
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
^^ This. Exactly. Not a problem, just a bug. But CWM 3.0 is more functional anyway.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostt021:
I read that CWM 3 was having problems writing back ups. Is this true, thats why I've struck with 2.5.1

***If you feel that this post does not belong in this section of the forums, please just send me a pm and let me know where to put it, as i am a complete noob to the whole forum thing. I have never been part of a forum whatsoever before xda. :P***

Ok guys, i recently sold my motorola defy and upgraded to the mytouch 4G. It wont be here for a few days, as i ordered it online, so i figured i would take the hiatus and gather up some info and ideas from you wonderful people at the xda forum. That said, any ideas as far as easy rooting, sick/reliable roms (honeycomb preferably, but i am completely open to all and any ideas), and generally anything that you think would benefit me. I will also post a complete video run through of the whole operation upon request, and i will deffinately give bigups to the contributors and use the info given to help others along the way.

Thanks, guys.

PS. This is the dopest forum i have ever found when it comes to phone hacking, and I greatly appreciate all that contribute.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
I would suggest either the visionary or gfree method of rooting. After rooting it is recommended to flash the engineering bootloader as it will be easier to recover if you soft brick your phone. Do alot of reading on these items in the mt4g android development forum. There is not a stable honeycomb ROM at this time, but there are some amazing Sense and AOSP ROM's out there (also located in the development section). I use and highly recommend Royal Ginger 2.1..which will probably be 2.2 by the time you get yours. Also, take this time to read up on and set up ADB as it makes life alot easier.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbyfoot:
Thaks! Too bad theres no stable gingerbread roms, as i figured there wouldn't be.(I REALLY want a moto xoom) But on the other hand, I had a gingerbread rom on my defy and i really liked it. My battery use was good, it was really fast, and exceptionallyt user friendly, in my opinion. Also, I know that the MT3G had a massive problem with freezing and it was pretty unstable all around. Is this problem persistent in the 4G? And if so, would the rom you recommended fix or at least dampen this problem?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
No no. PLENTY of stable and amazing gingerbread ROM's. RoyalGinger 2.1 like I mentioned is gingerbread. In the OP you mentioned honeycomb, which at this time there is not a stable ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbyfoot:
No, yea sorry i meant no stable honeycomb roms, my typing got ahead of my thinking XD.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
I dont think there are really any stable honeycomb roms on any phone. This is to be expected since honeycomb wasn't open sourced (And might never be, but it's reasonable since honeycomb will be outdated once ice cream sandwich is released for both tablets and phones.)

Either way, welcome to this community of copious amounts of development and cool people. And if you are having issues deciding on a ROM, cyanogenmod is never bad. it's working great so far on the Mytouch 4g.

Also, a bit of input on the rooting method you use. It's not proven 100%, but rooting with the visionary method is safer in the long run. here's the thread with instructions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225

Many people prefer the gfree method because it gives you "real" S-off and allows for a few more options like sim unlocking the phone. If you don't need that, just use the one i linked. people who used gfree have been getting errors in recovery that effectively brick their phone. If we learn anything more and it turns out to not be gfree's fault, it's not difficult to use gfree even after using the method i linked. Using the visionary method will still let you do everything you want otherwise like flashing roms and whatnot, but has recently shown to be safer.

also, using the method i linked will flash the engineering hboot, which will help get out of many sticky situations.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rillusion08:
I am currently running Virtuous Fusion 1.0.9. It is by far the most stable HTC 3.0 rom out. Its a gingerbread rom, not honeycomb but most honeycomb builds are for tabs anyways unless its one of the few recently or to be release HTC phones anyways.

Virtuous Fusion is the 4th most used rom for the MT4G and is updated regularly by eViL D.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070444

It is fully compatible with Faux123's kernal

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070444.

As my signature states I am currently OC'd at 1.2gHz but the kernel is capable of 1.8.

EDIT: I rooted with the directions on theunlockr.com Mytouch 4G but its not any different from the link posted in a previous thread. Read up on the dev and general forums as they will provide the most knowledge about your newly acquired phone.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/

Follow those instructions leading to perm root. I am just posting what I did. The instructions are easy to follow and those that post on the unlockr.com follow XDA as well.

Oh and welcome to a fantastic community. :)

Hope you enjoy your MT4G, its a fantastic phone.

Happy flashing buddy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbyfoot:
Thanks for the heads up kim. I will most deff. use visionary, as, currently, i dont need sim unlocking and if i do, im sure i can take it to my uncle and he' ll do it for me. :)

Also, thanks to rillusion. I'll be trying several different ROM's, so ill make sure to the the forementioned rom in mind, as i love gingerbread. And i know that honeycomb is for the pads, but ya gotta agree, it would be extra beast on on a phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rillusion08:
I do agree it would be beastly on a phone, sadly a 1gHz processor wouldNT run that the way I would want it to.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
Welcome to the community, grubbyfoot!

I also highly recommend Virtuous Fusion by eVil D:. I love the Sense interface and find Virtuous Fusion to be the best ROM I've ever run on any device. It's being updated to version 1.1.0 (waiting for the upload to finish as we speak).

When rooting, Visionary is recommended over other methods for now because of some issues that may or may not be related to gfree's method of rooting. Unfortunately, some devices will just refuse to be rooted using Visionary.

Just got my transformer today and since me and my girlfriend are gonna use it I add both our accounts to the transformer. It works everywhere but in the gtalk app. The main gmail account can see its contacts and chat just fine but the secondary account can't. It signs in fine but the contact list does not show up and if I send message to that account the transformer does not see it.

Did anyone manage to make this work?

FYI, I'm running the latest version from Asus. (.13)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twisted galaxy s:
Ok guys I'm learning to theme. I have spent hours and hours making png's. All my files are named exactly as the ones they are replacing. Same size. Same format. I got it all together. Using apk manager & sdk manager. After recompressing everything and sending to the phone and flash. All I get is an eternal boot loop. Any ideas guys? I'm clueless. I followed instructions step by step I found in theming I've been back through my files and xda, Im unable to find the thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
Its easier to use 7zip to open the apk as an archive and drag your hdpi files out, they'll be copied not extracted, make your changes to pangs and then drag back in.

Working with the xmls will require decompressing and can get a little more tricky but doing it the above way first or last will cut down on errors.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twisted galaxy s:
Thanks man. I've got about 12 hours invested so far...plan on a few more tonight trying the recommended method. I'm learning once you close a folder, DO NOT reopen it.

Thats it... A simple (but I want to do it without bricking my $600 phone) ROM flash.

This is the ROM I would like to install:

Stock Sense - 1.13.605.7 Basic DeBloat

Thank you. I give up trying to get help in IRC. Waste of time (except for Dr_Drache, he was very helpful)).
[Thunderbolt General] gujupmp88:

[Thunderbolt General] danktankk:
yes, I am already rooted. I had a major malfunction in BAMF 1.6.3 this a.m. when a battery went dead. I replaced the battery and the phone went nuts... So I unrooted the phone and then re-rooted. I couldnt get help in the IRC channel to install this ROM I am asking about so I thought I would try to get some help here.

Thanks for replying.
[Thunderbolt General] Fadingintofall:
I am not seeing the question here... Do you have rom manager installed? You could install simply from there. That's how I did my initial rom install.
[Thunderbolt General] tk192:
Just download .zip place on sd card and flash using rom manager or manually on clockwork recovery.
[Thunderbolt General] jaysckap:
Stock sense basic debloat ROM does not use the GB radio. And to install I would recommend not using rom manager to install it tends to cause problems.

[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
Don't use Rom manager. Download the Rom. Reboot into recovery using Rom manager. Make a backup if you want. Wipe data. Wipe cache. Go to advanced. Wipe davlik cache and battery stats. Go to install zip from SD and select your Rom. When its done reboot.
[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
And ya that's not a gingerbread Rom. Is it based off latest froyo ruu?
[Thunderbolt General] gujupmp88:
I'm still not sure what the question is here...but i'll lay some steps out for you.

FIRST AND FOREMOST: HAVE AMPLE BATTERY CHARGE!! I don't flash with anything less than 50%. If you do, then continue at your own risk.

1. Go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081930 and pick out a ROM you think that you would like. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY GINGERBREAD ROMS. These are still in ALPHA.

2. After you have the ROM downloaded, plug your phone into you computer and put the ROM anywhere on your sd-card. I made a new folder called ROMs and put all my ROMs in there. This keeps things tidy.

3. THIS IS OPTIONAL, but saves you a lot of time in the future. Download Titanium Backup. I would HIGHLY recommend the PRO option. Costs money now, but will save you hours in the future. This program needs root. It will backup all your apps with their data so when you switch ROMs, everything is restored easily and fairly quickly. If you go with this approach, then open TB and backup all USER APPS with DATA. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS!!!

4. If you do not have Rom Manager, Download it now. Free is fine. Open up Rom Manager and make sure you have the latest Clockwork Recovery installed. If you don't, then install it. If everything is fine, click the option to boot into recovery. While some people use RM to install the ROMs, I find its better to do it manually.

5. When in Clockwork, go to backup and restore(hit power or home button to choose highlighted option). Choose Backup and let it do its thing.

6. When done, press the menu key until it goes to the main menu.

7. Choose Wipe data/factory reset and let it wipe the data. Do not worry, this will not touch your sd-card. All your pictures, movies, music, ROMs, and everything else on the sdcard will still be there.

8. Go into install zip from sdcard and choose "choose zip from sdcard"

9. Navigate to where you put your ROM from STEP 2

10. Choose the ROM and let it do its thing

11. Press Menu button to go back to main screen and REBOOT

12. ALLOW LOTS OF TIME TO LOAD UP. First boot always takes a long time, dont worry about it.

13. When booted up, ALLOW EVERYTHING TO LOAD. Now enjoy your ROM.

14. If you used Titanium Backup, get it from the market(if it isn't pre-installed). If you payed for it, you won't have to pay for it again as long as you use the same GMAIL account that you used before. All paid apps are saved to your gmail account. Restore all USER APPS with DATA. NOT SYSTEM APPS!

I am by no means a dev or claim to be a genius. I've been around since when the OG droid first came out and I'm just helping out. I am not responsible if something goes wrong. If anyone see's a mistake in this, please point it out or add a step if you want.

[Thunderbolt General] danktankk:
Thanks for the replies. For not knowing what the question was, it sure was answered pretty thoroughly. :P

I did buy Ti Pro a while back and use it a lot. That should be no problem once I figure out why I am not rooted now. I did the whole routine yesterday and Ti cant get su for some reason now.... yay for that. I guess I will try the whole thing again. (It may be that I need to get the proper busybox for Ti Pro to work and be allowed su)

So if I have read this correctly, I will be alright with the debloat ROM I mentioned earlier right? Since it is not gingerbread based right?

oastl: You said don't use ROM Manager then after one sentence you then say to use ROM Manager.... Using ROM Manager to boot into recovery must be a different thing altogether I suppose...

Thanks again for the help... Very much appreciated!
[Thunderbolt General] jaysckap:
That ROM is safe. And yes use rom manager just to boot into recovery

My ROMS are always in folders when I flash them on my devices and it has worked just fine!
[Thunderbolt General] Yufice:
If you're using CWR (which i think is the only option these days?) you totally can. Just choose "install from SD card" and it'll let you navigate your folders. I have a neatly organized "RUU" folder on my SD card. Certain things like radios need to pushed as pg05img.zip on the root of the SD card.

Well, with all the help, I did manage to get everything back as it should be. Thanks a lot for that too!

I got super tired of trying to get someone to answer me in IRC. I think I will just come here with my questions from now on and leave that place to those who have the patience for it.

I also got too used to BAMF I think because I ended up flashing to 1.7 anyway... 2.0 looks really good. I think that is still in Beta or I read the post wrong altogether...

[Thunderbolt General] Jaxidian:
This is about the best, concise set of instructions if you're already rooted. Perhaps the only thing missing from this is to first install Rom Manager to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. After that, then follow the above steps. And as others have mentioned, be sure to have a full battery before you begin. (NOTE: Keeping the power plugged in helps too - your battery can charge while you're in ClockWorkMod Recovery.)
[Thunderbolt General] GunthMoney:
Opened Rom Manager... Selected the rom from SD card... checked the box to wipe everything... Start.... Phone rebooted in like 15 seconds.
[Thunderbolt General] GunthMoney:
Looks like I will give this way a try...
[Thunderbolt General] Jaxidian:
Do you have Das Bamf Toolkit in your app drawer? If so, you're running the custom ROM. At first glance, it may not be obvious that you have a custom ROM running. It still has Sense and goes through the intro set of questions.
[Thunderbolt General] Jaxidian:
Yeah, your last post above this is right. Follow those steps instead of what you said here. Flashing ROMs from Rom Manager is a bad way to do it right now (yeah, sorry, kinda counter-intuitive). Rom Manager's #1 use is to flash a recovery on your phone - use that recovery (the steps I quoted above that you said you were going to follow) to actually flash the ROM.
