[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
At least on 2.2.x StageUI 1.5 is rather slow, but remember to install another launcher before removeing the StageUI launcher. StageUI 1.7 is completely different.

If you uninstall an app, from either the market uninstall button or the setting one it removes all config files immediately.

If you manually delete an apk it will remove config files on reboot.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
There's an app called SD maid that I personally love that gets rid of all cache files and leftovers from apps (if there are any)

There are several apps that try to boost your SD cards access times... you can try those... can't hurt...

I also use AutoRun Manager to make sure apps I rarely use don't start up at boot

And yeah... the Dell Stage pretty much sucks... my preference is GO Launcher
[Dell Streak 7] Lilextreme:
so if I install something like "Go Launcher" then I can uninstall Dell launcher? My system came with 2.2.2.

actually I have "circle launcher" installed,,,,can that work?

thanks so much!
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Definitely, I would RECOMMEND doing away completely with the DEL Stage and then run any launcher you prefer, I was just stating that I use (well use to use) GO Launcher (I'm running GingerStreak 2.3 and have gotten attached to VTL Launcher somewhat) but I loved the features of GO Launcher....

OR you can install one of the custom ROMs that have been tweaked a little bit for performance

I'm not really gonna try to recommend one because I have no idea what your level of expertise is with Android is or how much you like to tinker with your device, but there are some very nice options that will certainly make you smile
[Dell Streak 7] Lilextreme:
it says go launcher is incompatable with my streak 7 :-(

I love messing with my gadgets & appreciate any advice u give! Thanx bunches

ok it seems like most launchers are incompatible. ....why?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I know it's incompatible with DJs HoneyStreak, but you shouldn't get an incompatibility message with it on Froyo... least ways I didn't
[Dell Streak 7] Lilextreme:
Ok I got. GO Launcher apk from the company website & that worked. I wonder why market wouldn't. ....hmmm. ...

I was trying Launcher Pro too but its 3.49 to use extra customization features & Go Launcher is free.

Removed Dell Stage. ....even market runs better!

Anyway, thanx again. ..any other good speed up tips? I installed a Rom manager also :.)
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
You can uninstall the ROM Manager, none of them work with either of the Streaks.

I use AutoRun Manager to keep apps from starting up that I don't use often, and I also use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to help manage my memory...
[Atrix 4G General] zeotrope:
This will be my last week with this phone, I've had it since April. Everything was fine until about a month ago when the touchscreen started to go all wonky. Actually that's not true, I'm disappointed it can't even use LWP without the whole thing studdering, or how the bootloader was locked down for half the time I've had it.

I tried flashing a new rom, wiping data, installing the 'touchscreen booster' app (which worked well for a few days, but the screen has kept deteriorating). Nothing worked. I never dropped this phone the entire time I've had it. It has a defect, and I'm not the only one that has it. Motorola's forum has a thread 10 pages long with people talking about the ****ty build on their screen.

I got this phone from the USA (I'm from Canada) at full price and unlocked it, I have no warranty -- my fault. Anyways, I'm not sure why I wrote this, but this will be my last motorola phone.

tl;dr If anybody is thinking of buying this phone, I advise you to make sure you have a warranty, or better yet, don't buy it.
[Atrix 4G General] netter159:
get a warranty, yeah its a possibily. And yes every phone has issues. I LOVE my atrix and would not trade it for any other phone at that time. Every batch of phones are going to contain a bad set. Be happy its your motorola Atrix with its touchscreen, and not your Toyota breaks.

Ugh first world problems.
[Atrix 4G General] blackangel104:
Lmfao Toyota...

When life sucks I just enjoy the head :)
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
.... you lost your warranty.... cause you unlocked it? If that's the case, you do realize that unlocking/rooting has to be proven to be the cause of the issue, right? If you rooted and unlocked your phone, and the screen has taken a crap.... then i don't see any possible way they can deny a claim. Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. It'd be like buying a new intake for your car, your radio take a sh*t, and they'd say "Nope... you replaced your engine intake, so your warranty is void and you have to pay for the replacement". It can't be done.

As for the other things... uuh.... you knew the bootloader was locked when you bought it... and nobody ever had any word that the bootloader was going to be OFFICIALLY unlocked by anybody. As for live wallpaper... i've never had an issue with it, although i rarely use it since i don't see the point in wasting battery life to have a bit of animation to my background that, unless i'm staring at my home screens for extended periods of time, i never see.

It sounds like something you flashed screwed up your PDS partition. If you have a backup of it, try restoring it.

[Atrix 4G General] ChumleyEX:
Can't you reflash your phone and relock it?
[Atrix 4G General] zeotrope:
got it in canada before it came out from another country, called motorola and they said I have no warranty since I'm not in the country I bought it from. not related to unlocked/flashing.

I accept responsibility for not having the warranty, it's my fault. I just want to warn people that there is an issue with a (albeit probably small) subset of atrix's produced.
[Atrix 4G General] ChumleyEX:
Looks like it's time for a vacation to the states.
[Atrix 4G General] coolnow:
As Jotokun posted, this issue is known to be caused by the PDS partition being corrupting after flashing. Hope you made a backup of everything before you started. No? Was that the Atrix's fault too?

My cousin who bought this phone in May has no problems whatsoever. He's 100% happy with it and never stopped boasting about it until i finally bought it and was amazed by it. The funny this is that we're still on stock firmware, waiting for a stable CM7. Can't wait!
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
The current CM7 Beta is extremely stable - I've been running it for several weeks now and have had absolutely 0 issues. the only things not working are the fingerprint scanner and WebTop. small potatoes if you ask me... I average 2-3 days per charge on my battery on this version of CM7. I use the kernel that it comes with at 1.1Ghz - no need for anything higher than that as you will see NO real world gains - only gains you will see are in benchmark apps... who cares about that...
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
i use the 1.3 ghz kernel because between my 5 screens full of widgets and my live wallpaper, the 1.1 ghz kernel caused me to have a slight lag after changing screens. 1.3 ghz kernel gives me a completely smooth experience, no lag anywhere. my phone doesn't overheat either which happened in earlier versions of the kernel.
[Atrix 4G General] coolnow:
Sounds great! Will probably take the plunge next week or sooner, just itching to try it! I'm used to the fingerprint unlock for ages now, don't know if it will feel the same without it (for now!) Battery life on Motoblur crap is not good for me, although it has constant 3g and Wifi at home with sync 24/7 and i do heavily use it. Actually, scratch that, the battery is still awesome for how much i use it!
[Atrix 4G General] zeotrope:
if your cousin is happy with the phone then i'm happy for him. but i didn't have a good experience with it. all i'm doing is sharing my thoughts, no need to get defensive.

i also experienced this weird grey ring that appears about 1mm away from the screen. it has steadily gotten worse over the last 3 months.

tried the PDS partition fix, didn't do anything. thanks for the suggestion though.
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Nice story. Thanks for sharing.

ITT people who think their ego is under attack because of a phone.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Actually it looks like you're the one whose feelings got hurt. First, your post's title "Warning: shoddy touchscreen - phone unusable"? Is this your phone or the Atrix, in general? Second, you warn who? Somebody who might buy this phone at a full price from another country and doesn't have warranty because of that?

And then you end your cry with "You better get warranty on this phone, or better not buy it" crap... because of...? From what I know any Atrix comes with 1 year full manufacturer's warranty so that shouldn't be a concern.

If you're having problems with your phone, just say it that way "my Atrix is crap". I'm perfectly fine with mine the way it came out of the box, afterall it's just a phone I'll probably change in a year or so.
[Atrix 4G General] zeotrope:
no need to get so emotional. my atrix is crap. i'm letting people know that some of these phones have an issue. it's probably a small percentage, but they should be wary if they are getting it with no warranty. i'm trying to help people out.

i'm not sure why it matters so much to you. if yours works fine then i'm happy for you. but i had a lot of issues and other people have as well.
[Atrix 4G General] SpOoNeeUs:
The issue with the touchscreen going wonky is caused by a corrupt PDS partition. There's a thread with a PDS image that you can fastboot over to your phone if you didn't back up your PDS partition.

Happened to me when I was jumping around from ROM to ROM constantly. Lost use of the capacitive buttons and the touchscreen was completely uncalibrated. To make your life easier, just don't sbf back and lose your software unlock. I was not able to fastboot to the PDS after sbf until I did the unlock again even though my phone was already unlocked.
[Atrix 4G General] matthew5025:
The touch screen for me isn't wonky, it's defective. Its not working for about a fifth of the screen. No touch input would register AT ALL. It's a fairly common problem, not caused by the PDS partition but by the digitiser.

Let me put this way. I got mine from craigslist site. He asked for 300, and we settled for 260. But when I got the piece to hand, it had a couple minor scratches on the sides (sides only) mostly due to keys, etc, and so I finally got it for 220 after some bargaining. Plus this was abt 3 weeks after Infuse was release.

Realistically I'd say its good, but better (and pushing the boundaries of possible would be 200)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doctahjeph:
If truly in a "like new" condition then I'd say it is a fair deal. I would however try to get him down to $220 or $240. I bought mine for $240 off Craigslist after the power button on my captivate broke.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Deathmvp:
I paid 300 for mine with out a contract. I also think that is a big part of it as if you do not plan to get lockinto a contract it is a good price. Like for me I took my work phones sim and put it into here so I could not get a discount from a contract.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] eMar14:
So, I have a Samsung Captivate, and I've been enjoying the game/puzzle 7 Little Words. My mom (the X10 owner) always plays it on my phone and would love to have it on her X10. Unfortunately, she cannot find it in her market, the app does not support App2SD (as far as I can tell), and my attempts at sideloading have failed. If it changes things, she is running unofficial Froyo.

Is there any way I can get her this game?

Thanks in advance.

Soon-to-be, first-time, smart phone owner here.

My new Revolution is on the way and I have a few questions for current owners, rooters and rom installers.

I want to remove bloatware and Bing, improve battery life, allow tethering, and unlock the FM radio. Should I wait for Gingerbread? Root only? Install a custom Rom?

I know that the rooting process and roms improve over time and would also appreciate some input to the most current root/rom process.

Thanks,

J.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
I would root right away, downgrade if necessary. RevoIt rom is incredibly fast and has bloat removed. We don't know how long until gingerbread so not worth waiting.
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
Sorry for double post. Best way to root is if your on VS910V6 is to downgrade (there is a tutorial on here somewhere) and use superoneclick 1.7 ragethecage. If VS910ZV4 is on your phone just use superoneclick regular root. Then you have to put on revotoolkit to put on cwm. There you can flash a new rom
[LG Revolution] jyossarian:
Where do I find instructions for S1C 1.7? I went to the "development" forum and the S1C instructions say "confirmed not working, guide removed till update is available."
[LG Revolution] adrenaline_rush:
Just extract the files, run the program, plug phone in and select internet mode with USB debugging enabled, select the "rageagainstthecage" exploit in the right hand side drop-down menu and click ROOT.

If it hangs (gets stuck) try checking and unchecking USB Debugging while the program is running and the phone is plugged in.
[LG Revolution] jyossarian:
Thanks for the help so far. I have successfully downgraded and rooted.

I apologize in advance because I know all of these questions have been asked before but there are sooo many guides and youtube videos and forums. Some things might apply to the Revo and some might not.

Anyway...

1. I plan on installing revolt 1.5 but first think I should backup and save a copy of the Verizon Rom to be able to go back if all hell breaks loose or they update to GB. If I backup in clockworkmod, where does the backup go on the sd card? What is the name of the file? Should I take it off the sd and or put it on a computer for safe keeping?

2. Does "rom manger" work for the revolution? I asked me for phone model but didn't have the revo listed.

3. I installed Ti backup but already have the rom backed up. Is Ti backup used solely to backup apps?

4. The install instructions for revolt 1.5 say "make sure 4g is enabled," how do I do that?

5. The instructions do not say to wipe the cache. Is that no longer a required step?

6. Is there a "file manager" for accessing the sd card?

Too many ?'s, but thanks.

J.
[LG Revolution] leppricon:
In the same boat, sort of.

Was wondering if the sixaxis app for connecting a playstation controller to our phone works. was gonna root my phone this weekend and if this app works with our phone maybe ill stay up a little later tomorrow to see if i can get it working lol.

Thanks for any reply

[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
1. I'm pretty sure backups go to external/clockworkmod/backups

But you don't need to make backups for this since you can always flash the rooted stock ROM.

2.ROM manager does not work.

3.titanium backs up only apps and there data (I like mybackup pro more)

4. If you didn't change any settings 4g you'll be fine.

5. Always wipe cache and dalvik cache. May take time to boot up but its.normal .

6. Es file explorer or root explorer
