[Atrix 4G General] johnnydeathmatch:
If that were true, I could understand the tethering requirement, but the multimedia dock doesn't seem to have anything in it other than a USB hub, and Moto said that the laptop dock is just a battery, screen, keyboard, and trackpad, no circuitry other than that.
[Atrix 4G General] smitty1:
If I was going to get a laptop dock this is the one I would go with this one even comes with a bigger screen and a dvd drive.

Screw AT$T
[Atrix 4G General] johnnydeathmatch:
LOL. If I didn't have a couple of netbooks (Cr-48 FTW) already I might consider the Atrix laptop dock... if only for the battery.
[Atrix 4G General] clopes91:
Lol I keep seeing the new netbooks and laptops coming out and I am getting more and more turned off by the phone but as of now this is all just talk we will see what's what when its released .............. and aabout the tethering issue if it weren't for that reason how would att catch Mozilla as tethering they are releasing their mobile browsers soon if not already ..... there has to be more to the tethering thing then just using Firefox
[Atrix 4G General] smitty1:
The tethering issue is just the software AT$T has on the phone.

The phone is not going to come with tethering over usb. The only way you will be able to get it is by slide loading an app. for it or paying AT$T.
[Atrix 4G General] shadow65781:
Not even considering the laptop dock its a $200 device that they want $500 for.

I will buy a $300 netbook with more features.

Not even sure about the atrix yet it will be months before it has any custom roms, granted its the badest ass phone on the market,or will be.

However I could buy the inspire and root and rom the same day, use wifi hotspot to connect my netbook.

I just cant decide.
[Atrix 4G General] clopes91:
Atrix will only be bad ass until tomorrow ( the 13th mobile world conference) when the galaxy s2 is shown that's going to blow everything out of water the only thing is that its for tmobile and I like my att so idk what I'm going to do hopefully we can just implement a modem and it will work for att but the atrix dock I'd out of hand 500 can get you a 13 inch laptop with 4 gb ram 500 gb hdd HD screen bluray reader writer windows 7 64 bit an Intel i7 quad core mobile .......... they dibt eveven comapare 700 for both or even 500 for the bundle? I will have to see what the roms are like when ifs realeased and Matt's phone selection has to grow much larger every carrier has attractive phones and att is just there but we will see ........ might be moving over to T-Mobile for the galaxy s2
[Atrix 4G General] johnnydeathmatch:
But when will the Galaxy S2 come out? Not for a while, I'd guess, since I read that they are going to start manufacturing the chips soon (as in, haven't started yet).

You'll need to, since it will suck like the other Samsung phones, and it won't ever get any updates (based on the history of the Galaxy line so far). My feeling is that Samsung's dev team is always going to be too busy working on new stuff to ever release a freakin' update for their phones. They've lost me as a customer, that's for sure.
[Atrix 4G General] clopes91:
Well the galaxy s and the epic are getting or got Tue froyo update already and what's better hardware or software update keep in mind we can't update hardware but software we can do every and anything to it? So its a no win situation but I love samsungs and motos so idk what to do
[Atrix 4G General] johnnydeathmatch:
Well at least they're finally getting froyo, although I've heard that before. I like Samsung's hardware a lot, but the support has been horrible as far as updates, thank God for XDA! The Galaxy S line is supposed to be a top of the line phone.... well to me it shouldn't be running outdated software. The Nexus S has nearly identical software, and it runs Gingerbread. Why doesn't the rest of the Galaxy S line? The ROM dump from the Nexus S already runs on the Captivate (although buggy), so if Samsung took a small amount of time to fix the drivers, it could be released. The least they could do is open source the drivers so XDA devs could do it.

If you're trying to choose which to get, I'd say wait and see. I'm unhappy with my Captivate, though, and had to buy my wife a Dell Streak since she hated hers so much. I'd buy one too if I wasn't waiting for the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Jodin:
One thing to consider also is if you have the unlimited data plan. If you go with the laptop dock and get the tethering plan your unlimited data plan goes away. Makes it not worth it for me. Confirmed it yesterday at att.
[Atrix 4G General] clopes91:
definitely not getting the atrix unless they figure out how to use dock with out The tethering
[Nook Color General] onveiledwings:
Do I just bought two nooks. One for my father and the other for myself. I got them so we could have a cheap Android Tablet. Should I put Froyo or Honeymoon on them , also is there a gingerbread build as well. Which is the easiest to flash onto the NC. Also which build\rom has full functionality because we are both wanting flash support for our Business. Thanks for all the help also I'm pretty new to rooting and everything. Only rooted two DX's and a Vibrant. So easy stuff there.
[Nook Color General] bjitty:
I'd suggest you try out both Nookie and Honeycomb using the SDcard images first and see which one best suites your needs.

I have 2 SDcards (one with each on them) that I've been testing out. So far I'm sticking with the Honeycomb preview. My main needs are to be able to browse the web and it does that well. It also plays the game or two that I want well.

I might be wrong but I don't think Flash is working for Honeycomb yet. So if Flash is a big deal to you, you may have to go the Nookie (Froyo) route.

Either way I'd suggest the SDcard method first. It seems to be the simplest way to try things out.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
If you're not comfortable with rooting, you may want to start with autonootering stock Eclair and playing with that first. It's much less involved and more stable.
[Nook Color General] onveiledwings:
Is nookie froyo stable
[Nook Color General] madtopcoder:
The froyo is very stable now but you will once a while run into fc issues with app. I have two NC. One with stock 1.1 and running froyo from SD card. One has froyo in emmc. With the overclock, they both are very good.
[Nook Color General] onveiledwings:
Thanks. I just put nookie froyo on both nooks with the sd. I love that I, have a, nook and and android tablet. Is there an, easy/noob way to get the market and flash ?
[Nook Color General] gatorbob:
Only had my Nook Color couple days, and am currently running latest Honeycomb from SD card. Does anyone else notice that it is very slow to charge even on the AC adapter? Thanks.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
I noticed that. It also seems to suck the battery dry in about twice the time. But, what can we expect. It's REALLY early code, needs to be tailored to the nook hardware.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
Are you using the Official Cable and Brick that came with it?

It should take about 3hours with those for Recharge, if its alot over that You might have a defected cable or brick.

If your using a Standard Microusb cable. then the Nook color will charge extremely slow, and wont even show its charging, because the cable that comes with it, has two extra pins that are used to provide extra power, I think the Nook charger puts out 2amps while a standard usb is only 500ma.
[Nook Color General] gatorbob:
Thanks for the tip. Had no idea the cable included was different from a standard usb micro cable (which I have been using to charge).
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Heh... It'll only charge at .5A with a standard cable. 1.9A with the Nook Cable. It has two extra sets of charging pins.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Okay guys, at the suggestion/request of Konikub, who was told this couldn't be done, I, "Team LoneWolf" :D, decided to crack open the stock HTC Messaging application (Mms.apk), in order to investigate the possibility of inverting / applying a "dark theme" to the application.

It seems this has not been done before, and upon initial investigation, I can see why. Many of the HTC Sense applications share common resources (themes, styles, icons, etc), stored in com.htc.resources.apk. So, if you attempt to modify something used by Mms.apk, but stored in com.htc.resources.apk, you are going to unwittingly modify the appearance of other applications, and if other corresponding elements are not adjusted in those applications as well, you are going to have problems.

So, things that are "challenging" are the things I like to try and tackle, and inverting this application was a tough cookie, requiring extensive edits, in some cases to "undo" references to items stored / defined in com.htc.resources.apk, and rather, make them stand alone directly within Mms.apk. This required major edits to XML, Styles, Colors, local .pngs, and Smali/Java code. You wouldn't think simply themeing an app would require all of this, but Mms.apk did.

Essentially, what this mod has done, for the most part, is flip most text that was black, and made it white, and most backgrounds that were white, and made them black (inverted), giving you a bit more visual interest, as opposed to the stock "white" look.

For those running a dark theme on their phone, who prefer to use the stock messaging app (I use Handcent, lol), this should fit the bill nicely. Again, thanks to Koni-man for the "nudge" / "coaxing" to take a look at this.

Screen Shots:

Flash the attached (HtcMms.zip) via recovery. Also, let me know if I missed anything. It is certainly possible, as there are so many menu options / tasks that can be done, that I may have overlooked.

EDIT: MetaMorphs attachments added (morph_*.zip), to modify the default 'tap to compose' area from gray (shown in screen caps above), to black (screen capture), and another to return the application icon in the app drawer to stock color. DO NOT ATTEMPT to flash these. They must be applied using MetaMorph, AFTER you FIRST flash from recovery the original mod (HtcMms.zip). After applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TMartin:
You never cease to amazing us :D. Do you know if we can get conversation bubbles inside each conversation?? That was something I was about to PM you about.

Js...you are the best in everyway possible, lol! Thanks for "Team Lone Wolf" for having my back :):)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeffsanace:
I have to throw a thank you to Koni for the little nudge as well.

Sent from my Bad Seed Custom Themed EVO!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Indeed, he's a good guy. Honestly, if someone else came to me for help on this one, especially since I use Handcent (currently, I may switch now too!), I probably would have ignored the request. But, I always like to help Koni out when possible :).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pzvv:
Very sweet I am downloading now

Might you be able to customie other apps like this? Like making the stock HTC music app and People app all black. That would make Sense even more epic.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Thanks. Hmmm, bubbles, that would be cool to pull off in the stock Mms as well. Maybe I'll see what it may entail. Probably pretty tough to pull off though...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Probably. It's just a matter of investing/finding the time to do so. Things like this can take many hours/days to pull off...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TMartin:
Pretty tough but you seem to master the impossible and normally very quickly lol.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chillenandy321:
Just flashed I like but needs a few details.

1. It changes the message icon at the top notification bar default.

2. Make the "Tap to Compose" section black with white like the rest.

3. Make the main message icon default color not blacked out.

Other than that very good work!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Lol, I made it they way you described, since that's how I like it. If you have other preferences, have at it ;-) Those are simple personal preference tweaks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] t.o.m.:
Great Work OP!

Now gmail, mail, dialer, and gvoice??!!?! huh....huh?!?!?! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DrRyder:
Wow, JS. Nice. I want to use this, but question. Does this include any of the mods that were put into it from Calkulin. More specifically, the compression fix and 5MB limit fix. It's fine if it doesn't. They're just good to have.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I modded this from a stock Mms.apk. I'm not familiar with the details of the mods Calkulin did, but I assumed they were to the framework, as opposed directly to the .apk. I'll have to look, as, honestly, until now, I've never really used the HTC Messaging app.

BTW, I'll probably knock out a few MetaMorphs shortly, with some "other" preferences, such as the mentioned black "tap to compose" area. I did it that way initially, but didn't like it. It looked like too much black to me and made it hard to differentiate the compose versus non-compose areas. I'll probably also do a MM to restore the stock application icon. I wanted to darken it to denote it is a changed / darkened version of the app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chubbzlou:
Thanks been wanting this for a while. I knew you was going to give us something cool you was too quiet.

You are the man.

TEAM LONEWOLF one hack at a time :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Okay, FYI, I've attached 2 MetaMorphs to the end of the OP based on preference.

The first MetaMorph will change the "tap to compose" area from the modded gray in the OP, to black for those who prefer it, as shown below:

The second MetaMorph simply returns the application icon in the app drawer to stock white.

Note, after applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jgalan14:
Nice job Js really nice looking man, you have done some really good mods for the Evo communuty and I use them thanks again

After just getting around to installing your rotary unlock mod, I am loving this!

Only problem is I can't install it. I go into the recovery menu, choose install from zip and then confirm, I get an error.

Installing update...

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and updater-binary) to create working update .zip packages.

Any ideas why I get this error? I haven't changed anything since I installed the rotary lockscreen. Maybe switching to Amon recovery?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hahafender:
if i install this, will it delete my cyanogen mod? (sorry, noob here) lol

thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dreamgirl2011:

i'm pretty sure the script to the shining sounds scary.

in other words, no. nothing can go wrong.

[WIP] Inverted MMS [Sense 1.0 Gingerbread]
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jessesse:
I really don't think it will work on his phone :(

This is a froyo thread, but still I doubt the gb works either.

If he is interested in decompiling theres, I can share what I remember..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Ha, never seen that before, what a bunch of BS. Yes, I'd switch to Amon. It's what I use, and I have no problem using standard update-scripts.

At a minimum, it wouldn't be consistent to be running a "gingerbread based recovery" on a froyo based ROM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kforcum:
Looks like that did the trick. Thanks bro it's awesome!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Great. I'll have to keep this is mind going forward, knowing now that "update-script" scripting is being obsoleted.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
The 5MB limit is a simple plain-text XML edit.

/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms.customizationBySIM.xml

<string name="MMS_Msg_Size3">500K</string>
<string name="MMS_Msg_Size2">1M</string>
<string name="MMS_Msg_Size1">2M</string>

Just open in a text editor on your phone and change to desired sizes. If you don't have this XML file on your phone, just flash Calkulin's MOD.

This MOD is easily cooked into any ROM as well. To cook it right in, you need to edit default.xml (search for the module "MessageConfig") which is found under /system/customize/MNS/

<module name="MessageConfig">
<function name="setting">
<set name="single">
<item name="MMS_Auto_Retrieve">true</item>
<item name="MMS_Priority">Normal</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size1">1M</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size2">2M</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size3">5M</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size_Choose">1M</item>
<item name="MMS_Received_Notify">true</item>
<item name="MMS_Play_Received_Notify">true</item>
<item name="MMS_Received_Notify_sound">Default Ringtone</item>
<item name="MMS_Received_Viberation">true</item>
<item name="MMS_Sent_Notify">false</item>
<item name="MMS_Fail_Notify">true</item>
<item name="MMS_Play_Notify">true</item>
<item name="MMS_Notify_Sound">Default Ringtone</item>
<item name="MMS_Viberation">true</item>
</set>
</function>

In my personal experience, I use 5M all the time except for ATT subscribers. ATT limits receiving messages to those < 1M. Yet one more reason ATT & their iphones suck.

However, I would love to see the compression fix put into this mod. (hint, hint, *nudge*) Nothing worse than taking a nice 8MP picture only to have your phone squash it down to 300K or less in file size, making it hideous! I do not know how Calkulin managed that MOD, but I do know it is within MMS.apk (just download his MOD and look, only thing in there is that apk). I have asked for details on how to fix the compression myself, but it seems to fall on deaf ears.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
JS ur the man.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Thanks. Yes, I went and checked out his thread earlier, and saw the 5MB limit was separate, but the compression fix built directly into the apk. No worries, I'll figure it out ;).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KSUJedi:
Have found this "problem" when using Clockwork 3.X recovery with certain zips, sounds like it's more of a necessary step towards the future as opposed to a true problem, but it's easily remedied by flashing either Amon Ra recovery or Clockwork 2.X via ROM manager, flashing the zip, then can go back to whatever recovery you want.

You will probably need to port it to a Mms.apk from a GSM device since I think this will only work for CDMA devices.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Well, I just realized something, and this goes to show you how frequently I have used this app to date! Since I run Fresh ROM as my base, I just realized that if you look at his change logs, that the compression fix is already built into the "stock" apk included in his ROM, which is what I used as my starting point for this edit. So, we should already be good to go regarding the compression fix. That was easy :D!
