We don't know if it will be a locked bootloader. Let's hope it isn't and Moto is keeping to their promise to "work with both parties":

I would love to know this too when the information is avaliable, i'm tring to get rid of my iphone to leave the big brother. If moto is going to pulling this crap then i'm going to get a htc or something else.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] compta5:
at&t will probably ask to be locked bootloader since at&t is pure evil
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PuerkitoBio:
I don't understand why it seems to be such a big deal that Motorola has locked bootloader, since even the Nexus S has one?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875580

Is there some sublety I'm missing? Is the "moto lock" harder to bypass than the "Sammy lock"?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
What about the ATT and Verizon whole upgrade policy now. What the hell is going on there. i hate these companies
[Atrix 4G Android Development] evilstrike:
Yes, the "fastboot oem unlock" command only works on select devices mainly the Nexus One and Nexus S (probably a few other ones too like the milestone)

Most other phones have locked down bootloader by the manufacturer and do not unlock in the same way. You can take the Sony Xepria as an example of the worst possible scenario for having a locked phone

If Moto doesn't release the unlocking procedure, it will take time and in some case will not be possible to unlock the device and there won't be any Dev community actively working on the device.

Honestly they should all release the locked & unlocked version. You want peace of mind you get the locked version. You want to risk brick'ing your phone you get the unlocked and the carrier/manufacturer don't not to deal with you.

IMO this is who it should be.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Allenfx:
yea..i am excited about this product and posted over in the Gtab forum (since Gtab is the WHOLE of my android experience being a 2+year iphone user)...and immediately was told "nope, not going to get one as it will most likely be locked".

Understood and appreciated but...

Well...look, i don't mind locked if the darn thing ships with working software and has at least 90% of the functionality i want out of the box. For example..as boring as the iphone has gotten, it works so i am ok with it being a walled garden.

In the case of the Gtab, its VERY intensively being rooted and and thats a good thing..because it was A NON FUNCTIONAL pos out of the box so modding it was a MUST.

Likewise if the Atrix works well out of the box ill be fine with it..if it doesnt work so great and is locked down..i either wont be buying one or ill be taking it back within the 3 day period.....

We will see i guess as i am kinda tired of how limited the iphone really is. I want an SD card and the ability to side load working stuff without using itunes. I want an HDMI output that i can watch movies on the hotel flat screen tvs just by plugging in my phone to it. I want to be able to get lap top functionality and/or use it as a mobile hot spot. I want to be able to hack in and get full use of tv.com and hulu. I want my sling box to work. I want to stream blue tooth to my car along with pandora and have blue tooth head phone funcionality, i want lots of cool easy to get and use apps. I want something i can get a keyboard to for content creation or at least give me a slide out keyboard (lets face it, touch screen is not as good for creating content no matter HOW good you are at the onscreen touch style key pads).

The atrix looks to fit the bill where as my Gtab is having to pull %75 of what i WISH my iphone could do for me (netflix being the exception of something my iphone does, that droid wont do). But for watching movies/tv, pluggin in a key board and typing, and surfing on a larger touch screen i could not be happier and am glad i avoided an ipad......I would also like better MS office/exchange support but think the atrix is an over all better solution than going with a win7 phone just for that one piece of the picture...

The hardware is there...the connectivity is there. It is 100% all going to come down to software and execution to determine if this thing is the solution i hope it will be versus a complete waste of time and energy (in which case it's... Samsung Infuse vs an HTC ((and continuing using the gtab )) i guess....)....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] derek4484:
Yea, and installing apps from other than the market probably wont be allowed either.

Luckily that was all easy to fix on the Galaxy S, it was so easy to be rooted and load custom ROMS. Heck, there was a root procedure out for it before it was even released officially.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TexUs:
I'm with Allen. As long as it works, little need to mod it anyway.

The only mod that is a must is rooting to simply remove all the ATT junk.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mariosraptor:
But how can you remove system data( Att junk) if you can not have r/w access to system.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] MikeyMike01:
He said the only thing you need is root.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krabman:
Nah, root and rom allows you to make it your *****. Otherwise your just dryhumping. Let us hope the smart guys make progress on this. I will not buy any phone that does not have developer support here. That one thing gives a phone a lot of extra legs and everything between here and end of life is the better for it. I'm a shoe in to buy this one if there are no other more worthy hardware options coming soon but I'll stick with my N1 if it cant be made to raise the whit flag until the next thing comes. XDA developer support IS NOT OPTIONAL!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
lmao ditto on all accounts!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bose.jhebert:
Agreed. I sincerely hope moto doesn't bone us. Although i'm confused. from what I read the Droid X had a huge hullaballo about the efuse, however i've also read that there's no efuse with the tegra2, and the Droid X has custom roms. So what would a locked bootloader be? Are people referring to and "unlockable" locked bootloader?

I just want to see if the Atrix has wifi tether out of the box or if i'll have to *****-mount some other solution (IE; PDAnet). I

really

hope it either is out of the box or someone gets it running shortly after. PdaNet just did not seem to get on well with my ipad, and my captivate and streak both worked extremely well with the one built into 2.2
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ZeroSX:
Custom roms built on motorola's kernels. That's the big thing turn off with the DX/2/2Global/Milestone/everything besides the OG Droid.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bose.jhebert:
That does make sense. But can a custom rom built on motos kernel enable items like wifi tether?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] coderunner:
I doubt ATT will alow wifi tether out the box unless they can control it and charge you for it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bose.jhebert:
That I understand, even expect. However my streak and captivate were able to get it via roms, I was curious if that will be possible with a locked bootloader on the atrix. I'm not overly familiar with the development scene beyond loading roms and flashing kernals (ie I can do it but couldn't make my own). So I don't know if being limited to the moto kernal would restrict you from having wifi tether and was hoping someone more experienced could answer that one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Melkor76:
I think yes..

At least for Milestone is Ok, nadlabak CM6 for example work really fine regarding tethering (USB and WiFi)

Let's hope a master piece like Atrix could be rooted and improved (if that's possible)

I'm on the way to get official unlock code from tmobile. Should I unlock my G2 first before rooting or I can simply root then unlock?

Quote from wiki

NOTE: T-Mobile does offer an unlock code to its loyal customers who are traveling overseas. You can call them and request it. However, as the XDA-forums can attest, some people have had difficulty with their codes, causing the phone to be unable to establish a connection to ANY network.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
If other users are having issues with the T-Mobile codes then don't go that method. Just root and unlock yourself, T-Mobile is not needed for any of it. Follow this guide and you will be able to do both http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

I am about to receive my new archos 101 later this week. I am reading the forums, and so far i have gathered i will need to put android 2.2 on it, and also the android market. what other tweaks should i do when i get it? Apps i need to know about? This will be the first android i have owned so i do not know where to begin.

If there is a thread that addresses this question, please point me in the right direction. my search didn't come up with much as to a list of things that are essential to getting the most out of the archos 101. thanks!

Why would you be disappointed?

I had my archos 101 since November 2010 and I was never disappointed with it.

Its a matter of how you use your device.

For my Archos 70, when I'm at home I have the screen brightness set to low. When I'm out in the sun I have to turn the brightness up all the way.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Agreed. I've been very happy with my 101. And I tried several popular alternatives before this. Like the Viewsonic, Nook color, Huewii/Ideos S7, and some knock off chinese clone. The 101 beats them all.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthomason:
thanks :-D

any news on what i need to do once it is out of the box? On my touch pro 2 it took me forever to realize that the first thing to do was flash a custom rom and other tweaks like OC'ing it. any thing i should do to the archos 101?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
well...plug it in and charge it...

If you want root and ability to OC, etc...I think you need to jump down to the UrkDroid threads. I'm very happy with stock and hoping for some way to root it. If you don't upgrade the stock I think z4root works though...as well as some additional codecs, but then you are on Eclair. Upgrade brings Froyo. Can't give you much advice beyond that...just load the market apk and start installing stuff. :-)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zemaj800:
Check out this thread over on forums archos fans .com . I found a lot of good tips here. (i dont have enough post yet to post an external link.) but under the top thread gen 8 devices there is a post titled newbie tips, and some general set up info.

Something that i have done to really help is upgrade to froyo, then go into the power management and set it to over drive. yes i kills the battery faster, but it seems more responsive. also a new launcher program helps too. i am currently using one called zeam.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digiflame:
I'd say get market, a launcher (adw, launcherpro, zeam) and if you are comfortable with linux, the urukdroid hack. i was a little disappointed with the laginess of my 70 at first, mostly the media scanning but the SDE and Uruk make me jealous of no tablet.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthomason:
got it today, this thing is nice. i am sitll getting used to android though. I cant get it to access my windows shares though, i input my username/password correctly and it cannot connect...

also, how do i get the codecs on here? must i really pay for them?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Can't help ya with the shares, but you could try removing security from them for a bit and make sure you can connect. That's just basic troubleshooting.

With regards to codecs, probably not. It comes default with a lot of stuff and I can play almost every video/audio file I have. Only a few needed to be converted. Very few statistically speaking. I think the ones you buy are very specific. So try what you have first.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bug splat:
I've not had to download any codecs. The handfull of videos I have watched worked fine.

Zeam Launcher is a must for me. Fastest Launcher I have seen. Love it so much I put it on my Droid X and my wifes Droid2.

Market and Appbrain is a must as is Flash 10.1. Don't forget to do the "Market Fix" to get all the market apps to show up. Forget the stock keyboard as its a laggy POS. Swype does not work at all but Slideit works great. Well worth the price for the amount of hair you will rip from your head trying to get the stock keyboard to register your inputs.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthomason:
thanks guys! i will look for the market fix soon as i have noticed a few apps are missing. including zeam.

Also, i cannot figure out how to tether this thing to my wm6.5 tilt 2.

i have always been able to tether windows machines, and i can even make a wireless network with it. however, the archos doesnt find my wireless router network, and when i connect it through usb or bluetooth it asks me for APN and username/password which i have no idea what they are.

any ideas?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zemaj800:
I did get mine to tether to my touch pro 2. I had to use blue tooth and for sprint the apn is internet.com ( a quick google search should turn up other carriers) user id and password are usually blank.

I want to get cyanogen, but I LOVE the look of sense. Honestly, its the only reason I still run stock sense on my Dinc. The weather animations are just awesome.

Is there a way to get a functioning HTC flip clock on cyanogen, with weather animations and everything?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Nope, sense only

It's built into the framework
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoon0n:
As someone who once loved the clock, seriously ditch it and come over to Cyanogen (they have bacon!).

For ~$2 you can buy Beautiful Widgets which work perfectly on Cyanogen and can be skinned to look like the HTC Clock. Get away from Stock man, there's so much more to be had.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hybrid86:
Really? I've seen the beautiful widget clock, and its kind of gross. I love the launcher pro plus widgets, but they need launcher pro to run (I think?), and stock cyanogen launcher is more functional.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
There are several dozen different skins you can download and apply. Also another good one is Fancy widget. That's pretty similar. I don't think either do the weather animations though...someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
While Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widget try to mimic sense, they are still not the same. The real sense widgets are still the best IMO.

I don't think it's necessary to "get away from stock" with the Incredible. Between TouchWiz, Blur, Sense, etc, I think Sense is BY FAR the best and the smoothest interface and framework.

With that being said, I do run CM7. But I miss Sense every day, it is a tough decision for me and I cannot just say hands down that AOSP is better than Sense. I do encourage modding, and if you like Sense, at least get a Sense based ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erack:
I tried them all. They all look vastly inferior to the real thing. They all look significantly less sharp and they never get the proportions right (all look stretched).

I'm still hoping for a near identical knockoff someday.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
You won't get a near identical one anytime. All the ones that looked like it had HTC come after them, telling them it had to change.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IISiDeK1CKII:
You forgot acer's liquid... which I think is the best by far. I can't stand sense anymore, it's too business-y for me. I like myn's though, that's about as far as my love for sense goes though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karnovaran:
There's an older version of Fancy Widget with an identical Sense look floating around the interwebs. Google it.

Also, Beautiful Widgets does do unlock animations but not quite as smooth as Sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jes7er:
Looks just like the HTC one, but doesn't do weather animations or flip animations. I'll live without that...I just like the look of that clock haha. Using it with CM7 now.

Definitely switch to CM7 and LPP. It's my setup now and I love it. I've flashed other ROMs but I honestly can't make it through the day without flashing back to gingerbread.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erack:
Wow, it really is identical! Thanks for the tip.

Look up stoney666 in the theme section. He has some kick ass clocks in there.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
I agree while I do love Sense and I enjoy using the Sense based ROMs, I always want to go back to gingerbread.

I think CM is the way to go if you always want the latest version of Android.

Personally, I like ADW a lot better than LP though. At least the most recent versions of ADW I really like.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwartzman93:
Why dont you try skyraider sense 3.5...you can install a custom theme over it to look almost like stock android, and plus you get to have all the htc widgets and the htc apps...see, i have mine with skyraider sense and a a gingerbread theme

---i still prefer the beautiful widgets clock though :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdoptesc47:
I use the newest Fancy Widget Pro with the H7C skin. Looks identical to sense clock!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teejmiller:
I just compared Fancy Widgets H7C skins vs the stock sense (remember to change to flip clock) and they look pretty damn spot on. Only thing different is the weather animations were a little better on the sense, but you're just being picky if you want to complain about that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
What is the widget you are using here for the forecast? I've never seen that before. Is that sense?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwartzman93:
I said in my post that its beadutiful Widgets..but with skyraider sense you can use all the HTC stuff

The Superboot root method boot.img for 2.3.2 is now live thanks to Paul over at Android @ MoDaCo.

"Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!"

Using Superboot

- Download the zip file and extract

- Connect Nexus S via USB cable (with debugging enabled - Settings->Applications->Development->Check "USB Debuggging")

- Boot into bootloader mode - (Turn on while holding 'volume up')

- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'

- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'

- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
