+1

In fact, other ROMs (including CM7) almost always end up having a launcher replacement install to get them working as one want's.

MIUI on the other hand has all the bells and whistles that I need on my smartphone. No thirdparty launchers for me when on MIUI.
[Atrix 4G General] ahager88:
MIUI isn't cm7. The nice folks that work on getting everything working deserve credit, yes.

But, MIUI's only ties to cm7 are kernel related. At least in my experience. Everything that makes MIUI appealing is original. Or duly noted.

Of course we can't access the beauty without a cm kernel. Or an AOSP one. If we had working AOSP MIUI would be a breeze.
[Atrix 4G General] crea78:
I am actually using QQLauncher Pro from the market on my Nook and it gives me the same look and feel as the default MIUI launcher. The one good thing about QQLauncher compared to stock, I can get rid of the system apps that I don't want from my homescreens which I can't from the original.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
That is precisely the beauty of miui, you dont have to waste resources installing another launcher on top of the ui. It simply works great for most. Lots of customizations without separate installations (great themes built in, robust folder management, different ui and system sound schemes, etc)

Of course any other Android ui or launcher can be customized like that, but as I said, you need separate app installs.

[Atrix 4G General] ahager88:
Hell. Yeah.
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
honest question. Im glad you got the Atrix, as I have one also, but why didnt you just wait and get the Photon (being on sprint); which is the Atrix, but with a 4.3" screen, HDMI mirroring, 8mp camera, WiMax, and most importantly, a kickstand.

The only "downside" is that it doesnt have a compatible Lapdock...

The bootloader was recently unlocked, so Im guessing CM7 and miui arent too far off either.
[Atrix 4G General] shanghei:
no lapdock is a downside? lol
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Well, the photon has a 1650 mah battery. The atrix has a 1930 mah battery. Simple enough.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
I would think you could get a bigger battery? In fact the atrix battery might fit in it anyway, which would be cool

Sent from my Motorola Atrix using the Premium XDA App
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Not everyone is a fan of large phones. Personally I like 3.7" screens the best, and barely tolerate 4" screens...
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
I completely agree with that statement. 4" phones is the "perfect" phone size. But I compared my atrix to the photon (and a HTC sensation) and the difference is very small due to the smaller bezels on the photon and sensation.

I was just wondering, Id take real HDMI mirroring, kickstand, and soft touch back over a phone that was slightly smaller
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
+1 on the soft touch back, ATrix cover is nice but sometimes its just too slippery. I have a case on it so that eliminates the problem -- but still.. itd be nice to go case free and not worry about holding the phone and having it slip out.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Well how much would a quality battery run you for? $80? I'm talking stock to stock... no use comparing the phones otherwise.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
$80? No way, you could get a battery similar to the size of the Atrix for about 30-40...not bad at all. In fact, I bought TWO 1900 mah batteries for the Incredible, $35 for both, and they run as they should.

My point being, though, even if the stock battery sucks you can ALWAYS improve that with a different battery. But if you're processor is slow, or your screen is too small, etc. etc. you have to get a new phone because you ain't just upgrading that stuff for $30...
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
Not on sprint is a downside, but at same time is upside depending on the area. ATT & vzw the only real choice in my are if you want good coverage.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
There's a lot of batteries that are advertised misleadingly. At that price I'm guessing they definitely were not both high quality 1900 mah batteries.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Also, I'm curious why the photon is stated to be better because of HDMI mirroring when I've done HDMI mirroring myself on the atrix? Does the photon go full HD landscape? Or what
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Well they each run around 50-55 hours...sounds pretty spankin' good to me. That's better than what I get on my Atrix. Who knows how well a Photon battery would run for that price though, I guess.

I believe the Photon does support Landscape, but don't quote me. When it came out a lot of people wanted to port it to the Atrix but obviously something is preventing that from happening (that something probably being low dev support for this phone lol)
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
There is HDMI mirroring on the atrix
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
I'm fairly certain the photon does hdmi mirroring in landscape mode. I don't know how an miui thread turned into this, but I'm slightly into it. Photon looks like a great phone (spec wise). Appearance wise .... ehhhh.. too droid chargey for me.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Yes...but not in landscape..
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
there will be once the devs finish cm7.... its just not a priority right now... you were acting like the atrix has no mirroring at all which is not true. Does the photon have landscape?
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
From what I've seen the photon has landscape.

[Hero CDMA General] danibri82:
I just wanted to say thank you so much for everyone in the community that has worked so hard to keep our little heroes alive, and have made a phone that was laggy even on the stock 2.1 seriously quick given it's limited hardware. For a while I have had a evo shift. I'm super happy with this rig even if I am stuck with the bloated stock gingerbread and a ton of apps I don't want. Finally I have a phone that is lag free, 802.11n and 4g capable, and actually has the hardware to utilize SPB Shell 3D. This forum is amazing, you made having an old phone tolerable, and I thank everyone again. Just patiently waiting for the day when I can root,aosp, and heavily overclock this evo like I did with my trusty hero.
[Hero CDMA General] Bierce22:
Spb shell is overrated in my opinion I always wanted to try it on my hero but when I got my new phone I found myself going back to adw lol.

No way. The hardware radio does not support 850Mhz HSPDA. If you are on AT&T. I suggest you start praying the acquisition of T-mobile comes through. Then your current T-Mobile flyer will be supported on AT&T Network.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProcyonSJJ:
OK, I truly believe I have done my due diligence, but I have not been able to find anything solid that can help me get beyond the problem I'm having. The irony is that I first tried this on my WinXP box at work and could not get beyond the < waiting for device > problem, so I gave up and figured I would have no problem if I patiently waited to go home and try this in linux.

So here's everything I've done so far. As noted in the topic, I run the amd64 version of Ubuntu 11.04. I installed the Andoid SDK linux x86 version (there was no option for an amd64 version). I ran the tool/android client to download the platform-tools, so I got adb. With the phone running normally, I can connect it to my laptop and run "./adb devices" and I get back:

List of devices attached
43423541314354394D58	device

so that's working. When I run lsusb while the phone is running normally, I see

Bus 001 Device 020: ID 0fce:215b Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

Then I power off the phone, disconnect it, hold down the search button, and reconnect it. The power LED turns blue. When I run lsusb in this mode, I get:

Bus 001 Device 022: ID 0fce:0dde Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

As a result, I set the contents of my /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules to:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="215b", MODE="0666", OWNER="procyon"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0dde", MODE="0666", OWNER="procyon"

and just to make sure my file permissions are ok (since that seems to bite people in the behind a lot), my rule is

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 197 2011-08-11 01:24 /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

So, with my udev rules reloaded, I attempt a "sudo ./fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img" and all I get is the unfortunate

< waiting for device >

I've done just everything I could thing of, have read several (literally dozens) of tutorials, forums posts, and all manner of Google searches, but nothing seems to help me. Some areas where I think I might be having a problem:

a) Obviously, I'm running the 32 bit version of the sdk instead of the 64 bit version. Could that be an issue here?

b) I've seen lots of posts that disagree on whether the rules file should start with a 50 or a 51. Does that matter?

c) Do I need anything else from the Android SDK other than the platform tools? I don't have that directory in my path, but I'm running everything from inside that directory, and I'm running it with sudo.

I think I've provided all the information that I can. Thanks in advance for any help or any light that anyone can shed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubsfan3493:
I rooted mine last night and I figured it out. Turn your phone completely off first. Unplug everything from the computer. Then hold the "search" button or the magnifying glass while you plug the cable into the phone. There should be a solid blue LED light color at the top of the phone. Then it should work!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
There's no 64-bit version of the Android SDK. I think it may have to do with fastboot's binary.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProcyonSJJ:
Did you not read:

@Logseman, where is the best place to obtain a good fastboot binary for linux besides the HTC distribution page?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blagus:
Add -i 0x0fce to the actual fastboot command line too... I had the same problem as you ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProcyonSJJ:
Thank you so much Blagus, that was exactly what I was missing. I was trying to follow the "Easy Way" method of rooting, as it seemed to be a method in which I would not need to bother ash or mills. Now that you've gotten me over this hurdle, I've come to realize that the "Easy Way" only works if you unlocked the bootloader first, so it appears that I must pm ash or mills anyway? Or is it recommended that I simply wait and be patient until they sort out whatever is needed to provide everyone with a single solution? Thanks again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
I don't get to see this in my R800i. I've put the fastboot binary (from HTC) in platform-tools and this folder in my path. Running "fastboot -i 0x0fce devices" simply returns me the fastboot manual.
[General Questions and Answers] boneyboy564:
So I have been trying to root my infuse for several weeks now and I have come up with the same two issues quite frequently now.

1. I get stuck right when it says waiting for device the first time, I plug in my phone and if I havent already tried rooting it, it will work, if not it says "failed automatic version check"

and if it passes that then...

2. It will get to step #6 where it will proceed to stall on the portion that says "getting mount path". It doesnt freeze just stalls.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was able to root my Infuse using the ODIN method. It worked like a charm. Only thing is I'm running Windows 7 64-bit system so I had to get the Samsung driver installed beforehand.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheKorbenDallas:
A basic question: is "unlocking bootloader" the same as "rooting"?

This is in reference to the HTC's promise to make their bootloaders unlockable throgh a web tool.

What exactly does "to unlock the bootloader" mean? Is it the same thing that we also know as "rooting"? Is it just a first step towards "rooting"? Or is it something totally different?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Theonew:
Unlocking the bootloader is

NOT

the same as rooting. Unlocking the bootloader is turning off/removing the security flag of the bootloader. When the bootloader is locked, the security flag is on (S-ON) which prevents rooting easily and flashing of roms not made by the company (who made the device). When the bootloader is unlocked (S-OFF), you will be able to root easier, flash whatever you want,etc. Also, having S-OFF gives rooted devices much more access and freedom to many things. Example: some apps only require root, but others which do many more things require root + S-OFF.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheKorbenDallas:
Oh, I see. Thank you for the answer. So, we are talking about what is usually informally referred to as "S-OFF".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Theonew:
Yes. Exactly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Product F(RED):
Actually, this time the security flag was stored in the radio, not the bootloader (for the Evo 3D/Sensation), but the explanation was pretty much correct.

Root is a user/permission that grants a user or application total control over a system. It's a Unix/Linux term. The equivalent on a PC would be Administrator (or really System, but to keep it simple, Administrator). For Android, all you need to think of it as is the Superuser app and the "su" binary (a binary is an executable or command in the form of a file). Superuser can be downloaded from the Market, which is no problem. But it's useless without the "su" binary (file), which needs to be flashed/stored in the /system partition of the phone.

Well if you can't write to /system without root, and you can't get root without writing to /system, you have a bit of a problem. You see, most phones can be easily rooted with apps like Gingerbreak or SuperOneClickRoot because their bootloaders aren't locked. But HTC likes to add a second layer of protection: S-ON.

See this picture? It's a picture of the bootloader on the Evo 3D. It was pretty much the same exact thing for the Evo 4G, and is the same for the Sensation. In the top right corner, you see how it says S-ON? It stands for Security ON. S-ON is a flag in the bootloader (or in this case, radio) which disallows any non-system applications from touching the /system partition. What AlpharevX and TeamWin did was develop a tool which, through an exploit, allowed the flag to be changed to S-OFF, thereby allowing us to install a custom recovery (ClockworkMod or twrp), which now allows us to flash things (like the zip to install Superuser, and the su binary).

One last thing I left out is that most apps that require root also need busybox, which can be installed through the app from the Market, "BusyBox Installer", but it's useless without root.

Hope that helps!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Theonew:
One minor spelling error (Which can confuse someone who's just learning). It's not Gingerbread, it's Gingerbreak.

[Motorola Droid 3] rkymtnhi62:
My new droid 3 is bringing in ALL of my gmail. This phone was just turned on a few hours ago and it has brought in the history of my gmail account, 29, 311 emails.

I see no way to "delete all"

I would like to know if I can delete all of them for I surely do not need many years of email on my new phone.

Is there a way to pick and choose who I want emails to come from to load on phone?

My gmail has been set up for years to come into my computers Windows Mail.

I understand on Gmail site as well as my computers windows mail that I can make folders for mail to dump into.

But even it would have placed all this mail into folders I would still have to clean

them out.

I only wanted it to bring in the mail from today....forward
[Motorola Droid 3] Cyrus221:
Log into gmail via the web, hit the top checkmark box (not in your email, but above it in the toolbar looking thing). A bar directly below will pop up saying all 50 mails have been selected; next to that there is a link that will select every email/conversation, click it; now you can hit the toolbar archive/delete/move and everything will go with it.

Cheers,
[Motorola Droid 3] rkymtnhi62:
If I was to do this while logged into gmail.com then it would delete my gmail history. I am not wanting to delete from the server itself, just off my phone. So point being I got the phone yesterday and it brought in the email from many years. Silly!

How can I get all this email off my phone is the question and just have current stuff coming in?
[Motorola Droid 3] snowblind64:
I was under the impression that the Gmail app only synced the last 4 days by default. You can change the sync settings by going into the settings menu and selecting your gmail account and then go to sync inboxes and labels.

Seriously though, 29k emails in your inbox!?! Hate to say it but you really should use some labels and clean out that inbox.
[Motorola Droid 3] rkymtnhi62:
29k emails sitting on a server is nothing. It has a search area. why would I bother with that ..they are just sitting there, and I don't read online. I understand they were supposed to sync last 4 days. that is the point. Why do I have so many, and how do I repair this as sync is not working, nor was it with my first droid.

Also it brought in contacts etc that I deleted 2 years ago, after I got rid of first droid! How did it remember that. argh

Dont delete archive.. it hides email and is still searchable... i archive every thousand unread emails :p gmail android only show 4 days by dflt

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
I was wondering when someone would recommend getting a new oem battery for the eris? I've had mine for almost 2 years now and it seems like my phone dies quite quickly. Of course my usage varies (usually depending on if the girlfriend is working lol) so i can't be sure. Furthermore its not like i kept logs of my battery life when i first got the phone so its not like i can accurately compare to my past life. What do you guys and girls think? The oem batteries on ebay for like 5$ are quite tempting at this point.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I was noticing definitively lower battery life in May this year - so, when my battery was about 16 months old - and bought a new one, and battery life definitely improved back to my old normal. I had to weight that against the realization that I was planning to upgrade my phone sometime around mid-August to late-September - but it was still worth it to me. It's a lot less of a hassle than making sure that I am charging a couple of times a day.

I think that, given the charge cycles that phone batteries typically get, this is pretty much expected.

Do it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snortman:
Also, there was a thread around here somewhere (in the Droid Eris Q&A section) about OEM batteries for about 10 bucks. I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

You should be fine with it - especially for under $10 - I ordered a HTC Ozone OEM 1500 maH battery for the Eris (which I knew would fit tightly with the stock cover) and nearly 6 months later, no issues whatsoever & holding charges. Recently ordered a LG ENV3 (OEM) battery from the same NY-based eBay merchant and it put new life into DW's 2 years old "feature" phone.

I kept the "old" battery charged & keep it alongside with the headphone & usb cable handy when I'm on the go for contingency purposes, occassionally rotating between the 2 batteries.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMnole:
