Don't give up just yet! Look what you just did! You recovered your phone after you thought it was beyond your ability to do so. What you ran into is a near worst case scenario and doesn't happen that often. If you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed on the phone, just download your desired ROM and follow the steps for flashing it through there. You can do some great stuff with custom ROMs and you've already proven you are able to handle the problems that come with it. Don't think of it as a mistake, but your first lesson.

When I said I would never flash anything again I meant basebands.

I have flashed many custom ROMS on my x8 and the optimus 3d. Right now I am on Mokee OS by defcomg.

Think you guys should take a look at that it's a great ROM! Thank you for your consideration but I was just not familiar with flashing basebands and how that worked. When it comes to ROMS I am most of the time always sure of what I am doing :)

Seeing how our phones aren't going to be updated, I'll be getting something different soon. But that got me to wondering what to do with my phone.

No, thanks. I don't want to sell it, and the idea of this thread isn't about that sort of option. Thanks for looking ;)

I want to know if anyone has any ideas for re-purposing the phone so it is still useful. As well as any apps/accessories that it will require.

Any thoughts are welcome. From the serious to the hilarious. Just no motofail junk please. There are better threads for that.

I can think of, entertainment center, SIP phone, micro-tablet, pimped out neck chain.

Other than the last one, I don't think that I am realizing the full potential of the device.

And I'm hoping that, even though I opened with the whole Mr.T thing, there will be some serious suggestions.

If not, at least be entertaining please.

I am certain that there are some great ideas, I hope that you guys will share them. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] Slymayer:
Pimped out neck chain. Let's get fancy. :good:

But the main idea I got would be to make it a server : Media server, web server or game server if you're able to compile an open-source game server for ARM and run it on Android.
[Atrix 4G General] MJPollard:
After I upgrade (likely to the SGS3), I plan to use my Atrix as an entertainment device... MP3 player, video, that sort of thing. Not exactly sexy, but it beats my Creative ZEN player into the dust. :) (I'll also be keeping it as a backup phone.)

I'll always keep my Atrix as a backup phone. It just takes a lot of stress off when I'm modding my phones to have a backup.

[Atrix 4G General] AtrixMarshall:
Got a question regarding this topic since I plan on getting a different phone at the end of the year after the wave of new phones come out.

Since the Atrix is not 4G/LTE, I assume a new sim card be provided with a new phone that is...am I right to assume this? The reason I ask, is that my plan is to keep the Atrix and use it as a media player and also as a GPS device on the golf course. Can someone tell me if GPS will still be active if I keep the sim card in there. I plan on staying on my ATT account so I would think my plan should work. But I know these carriers can kill a good plan very quickly.
[Atrix 4G General] CSharpHeaven:
Atrix has an amazing battery life, about 7 hours web surfing versus 4:30 on my Galaxy Note. I'm with you on not being eager to sell it. For the second hand price I will not get anything even close to the specs of Atrix.

I'm also one those people I have to have a contingency plan for vital things. Two phones, two laptops, and two wives (just kidding) in case one was broken or moved back with her parents.

I've been using my Atrix as a phone mainly and GNote for everything else. I will be watching this thread to see if I can put Atrix in more use. Three spare batteries and two desktop chargers await eagerly to be used.
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
The sim card shouldn't have any effect on the gps. What will matter is pre-cached maps or an alternate data free maps app like CoPilot on the phone. So, basically, other than maps needing data, your gps will work fine.

[Atrix 4G General] againareku:
I will not repurpose because no phone on the market does what I need it to do

4 inch screen, 16gb onboard memory, finger print scanner

I also like stock blur way more than touchwiz and sense.

this phone was unique and powerful, it should get the upgrade so it can teach the "superphones" how it's done.
[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
But the gs3 blows the atrix away. Minus the fp which 1 out of 300 people used. Motoblur sucks, AOSP is the way to go. Even sense 4 destroys Blur. It's horrible.

This isn't "the world's most powerfull phone" anymore as it was one called. This phone can't teach anything to new phones. except how to not receive promised updates.
[Atrix 4G General] Morphling27:
I never understood this love of the FP scanner. It is cool and I liked using it, but you can get around it using a pin code so it's only as secure as that.
[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
How's that work? The android window in webtop plays Netflix video badly, and the Netflix app doesn't work on ics/jb where mirroring is smooth.

Just curious how you do it =D
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
Thanks for the ideas so far guys, keep them coming.

I'd really be interested in knowing if someone has set up their phone as a dedicated home entertainment center.

I don't think that the dock UI is that great for using it that way.

With the remote it isn't that bad, and I guess that there's an app that would let me control the Atrix from an Android tablet too.

So it might be the best way.

Any alternative entertainment center type apps out there?

What I think would be great is a rom specifically built for this sort of thing. Does anybody know of such a rom that could be used as reference

for porting?

Also...

While I appreciate all of the frustration recently (Me too.), please folks, help keep this thread on topic. I posted links to threads which are

much better places for that in the op so those of us who's mellows have been totally harshed could easily move on over there to 'discuss'

the unfairness of the situation. ( I know I made them tiny... But they are there!)

Again, please, and thank you.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
I have a few ideas... most likely, when I eventually replace it, it'll go to a family member as their first smartphone. Hopefully by then the 4.X roms are more solid... otherwise, it'll either become an in-car GPS with offline navigation software or I'll figure out how to get a Debian chroot to play nice (trying to DIY it and the image wont mount properly) and keep it as a backup/secondary computer with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. In both of the later cases, it'll still be around as a backup should something happen to its replacement.

that screen is gigantic..I can't get around it..3.5 is too small..4 is just right.

Also stock debloated blur is really nice...did you know the blur launcher is one of the smallest launchers in file size? it is even smaller and faster than zeamlauncher [which I put on non moto phones]
[Atrix 4G General] nicks90:
I love my atrix and will continue to use it as is until I get my upgrade next easter. I will then be getting another 4" phone ( best size there is!) And turning my atrix into a media / mapping system for the car.

Currently I use the car dock, but I have plans to permanently mount it in ym glove box and hdmi it to a 12" touch screen for gps purposes and media. Then usb out to my amp for some kicking tunes! That way I can actually removee the stereo completely from the car and just use the atrix.

[Atrix 4G General] tomh235:
Search for xbmc, someone made a version for blur roms using the Motorola dual screen api so it works at full resolution over hdmi. It still has some bugs, but it would make a great tv computer and media center with the work and play kit!

I'd love to do that too with my old Atrix. I last tried XBMC on my Galaxy S III a month ago. Even when the app was idle in the background it was using full cpu. My phone got really hot. Do recent XBMC builds run well on the Atrix?

Another idea I had for my Atrix was to use it on my motorcycle. I've got an older Honda CRF450R that I have been thinking about converting to a super motard for use on the roads. Perhaps the Atrix could be used as the speedometer and for navigation.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
I'm going to put it in the back of a magazine and sell it. I actually have 2 Atrix's, and a lapdock, cardock, and standard dock... so much wasted potential. Might hook it up to a TV as one person said, but my Ouya will replace it when it comes out.
[Atrix 4G General] myhalcyondaze:
You can have the backup security method be a password (alphanumeric) instead of the PIN (numeric). Just set up a password first, then change to the fingerprint security. That way it's no less secure than a password, but WAY faster. :D

Hopefully we can get more developer interest and push this into a really good use for old atrixes. There are some bugs like I think one of he cores is stuck at 100% utilisation but it worked pretty reasonably for me. Webtop works well with catch up tv and the like and with a good xbmc I could replace the desktop I am using for media at the moment. At least I would have no gripes leaving my Atrix on all day whilst my desktop uses over 400w!

The Atrix is awesome as my home media renderer thanks to its HDMI output. I have it hooked up to my Onkyo HT-S5400 receiver (out to 7.1 and 1080p projector) with remote control by my N7 which I use to serve music (nothin' but FLAC :)) and movies from my computer (via PS3 media server) using BubbleUPnP on the N7 and the Atrix. BubbleUPnP has become quite polished in its last few updates, so it's definitely worth the purchase. The only minor silliness is that the Atrix screen needs to stay on while outputting through HDMI (I'm a bit concerned about unnecessary wear on the screen). This setup has cut my monthly power consumption by %60 as I don't need to use my PS3 as the media renderer anymore, and I can control playback from anywhere in my apartment with BubbleUPnP on my tablet.

Outdoors, the Atrix is my main music player (its DAC is still pretty good: http://www.head-fi.org/t/549644/motorola-atrix-sound-quality) and takes care of mobile duties like calls, messages, email, maps, and yelp. Everything else (games, reading, sketching, browsing, and ROM flashing) has been assigned to the tablet. I could run my Atrix on GB for a looong time to come and still have it do what really needs to be done...and I got it for $80 refurbished before the bootloader was even unlocked (back in the good old Ken Penn Alien days).
[Atrix 4G General] RaZoR No1:
I will use mine as a doorstop xD

just kidding, it´s only 3 month old and has a locked bootloader, I hope that there will be some mods for stock roms , where I can use the lapdock as a hdmi mirror and then I will use it as a emulator and media station (the missing NEON doesn´t really make the Atrix to a really good videoplayer and the musicplayers always have microlags, btw: a way to fix these lags? :/ )

[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
I still have 5 months left on my contract but after that I'm going to try to use my Atrix as mostly an HTPC remote. I have an HTPC and currently use gMote to control it, the official Verizon remote app to control my FiOS set-top box, and the uTorrent mobile website to download torrents to my HTPC. I can also use the web browser to quickly look up stuff and even send it to my HTPC using gMote. I worry about battery life though. I can disable most stuff including the mobile connection. But it would still need a persistent WiFi connection. Timing out isn't a viable option because I don't want to wait the 20 seconds or whatever just to pause a video. Without a mobile connection and nothing to wake the device up, battery life should be good but still measured in days. It would be kind of annoying to have to charge it every couple of days. Maybe I can find a Bluetooth solution or a charging mat for the coffee table.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
FP is more secure because people can't see you entering your pin.

[Atrix 4G General] J Cubed:
I love the fingerprint scanner for quick unlocking, and I'm really disappointed that Apple is cornering the market on them. We may never see another Android phone with one, and that's why I hate to switch from my Atrix. But now it looks like I will as soon as my contract is up in May.

I'm thinking about just keeping the Atrix in the car dock once I get another phone. I use Waze for navigation, so I do still need a network connection. What's a good way to just keep a data connection for that phone? I have an AT&T Family plan (just two of us), but I think I'd have to make it like a full additional phone, as if another person used it. I might even be willing to switch to T-Mobile at that point.
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
Maybe you could consider trying something that isn't dependant on a data connection like CoPilot Live. I've used it in many cities. And it will let you down every now and then, but no more than Google Maps. Even my garmin and TomTom have blown it as much. Seems to me that one is about as good as the next. So, in my humble opinion, no data/sim card doesn't have to be an issue. I have to admit that I've never tried Waze, so it may be good enough to justify the data plan.

How about a portable game console?

Hello,

this is my first post. I am thinking in transforming the Atrix into a portable game console for my younger daughter, kind of a mini Android tablet...

Thanks in advance

If someone don't know what to do with their atrix, I would be happy do use your atrix motherboard for booloader, microbootloader hacking to gain sbk, I will remove from this board emi shield and will solder serial console pins, and then will flash some of may experimental bootloader ( development atrix bootloaer dump or leak ICS bootloader) the development bootloader for prototype atrix need signature adding to end of bootloader and ics leak bootloader need to be unlocked but it culd kill my atrix so I do not risk in develop process, I already risked and flashed ics leak bootloader and it didn't killed my atrix but when I will try to add signature or mualy edit bootloader by hex it will loose their default hash and brick my phone in 99%, so if there is someone who had atix that at least boot or is available rsd mode give me a mesage.
