The look of stock Android isn't that great, it's what you can do to customize the look that I like. The WP7 UI just looks terrible. I can't even say this looks like a good idea. I guess I can say it's cool for those that actually like the WP7 UI.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] CB620:
The roast of 7 lol
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kaimyn:
Personally I find wp7 really functional, but to each his own. Hopefully the dev adds some twists and doesn't just replicate wp7.

This is definitely why android rocks... we can do what we want.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
Yes, thanks, I know that. It's ugly is what I am saying :P

I also use Metro UI and I think it's the best Windows Phone 7 Launcher out. The guy is always updating it too. It's pretty smooth. I'm not a huge fan of Windows Phone 7 but it's nice to have a different feel sometimes. I switch between stock launcher, adw ex, and metro UI. Why not?

No SIM, Wifi calling, possible? I pulled the sim card out of my unlocked, rooted vibrant...fired up the stock WiFi calling. It responded with invalid SIM...what does T-Mobile have to do with my wireless network? Do we have to unlock the app too?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
You have to have your sim card in for it work. Did you try it with the sim card in??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Ravager:
Well it said something about using minutes...so I thought what be the point...when I could just use the phone anyways...could someone give me an example where I'd be where I'd have WiFi and no cell coverage?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robcii:
If you're in a basement or solid building where signal can't penetrate, use wifi to make calls instead. Still uses your minutes, you just get a consistently strong signal instead of dropping the call
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Ravager:
Gotchya...thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longcat14:
Wifi calling uses the account information on your SIM card to call people. If you have no SIM card, then you have no account with T-Mobile, making their app useless.

Okay, I was able to install the HSPL to 2.08. By the way I was on T-mobile stock Win 6.5. I installed MAGLDR 1.13 and I verified bothh are installed. When I tried to load NAND Android, could not find the loader.exe or daf.exe to install. I have a phone right now in the bootloader menu. I just want to go back to Win Mo 6.5, I downloaded stock from T-mobile website, but the PC does not recognize the device (has it as MAGLDR device). I would really appreciate any help that you could give. I have searched the forums for this topic, can't seem to find a solution that works. When I tried to install WinMo 6.5 it says it could not communicate with my device (only way I can even see it is to select USB mass storage in bootloader menu). USB flash says USB, but nothing happens. Windows device manager doesn't recogniz device either.

I will never attempt this again, and thanks again for any help you can give.

Do this cut your phone off then cut it back on by holding the volume down button and momentaraly holdind thd power(end) button. When the tri color bootloader comes up plug your phone into the USB cable and wait for the white bar at the bottom of the phone screen to say USB ans then run the update utility for the T-Mobile ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tina Raymond:
Thanks for the prompt reply. I think I am going to go back to 6.5. When I went to the folder I xtracted for android, I could not find a run.exe or install/ It loaded three files, boot, system, and some other file. None of them had those listed in the files. Like I said, I shouldn't have even attempted it.

Now, when I flas back to WinMo, will it only be on the SD card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
were those three wrapped in a .zip when you downloaded them? sounds like you may have a zip nand rom, but are following daf nand instructions.

got a rom filename for us?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
three folders, not files, system, boot and meta-inf.

You unzipped a zip nand rom, then followed daf nand rom instructions.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
No you will just be using the Sd card to flash the ROM if you go the SD card rout, and by the way when you are done flashing your phone you can remove that file from your SD. Flashing with the SD card is just a easier and safer way of flashing seing as the only thing that could go drastically wrong is the battery die or you remove the SD card while the flash is in progress. Also flashing from SD takes a littke longer too.

Edit: You well lose HSPL and MAGLD by using the SD card method.

Okay, last thing I hope. I was able to get 6.5 up and running. Everything works except the battey will not charge. (the little charging icon does not show up in the status bar on top) The battery ia down to 2 percent, when I plug it in the battery goes to full and the led light blinks red, then green all the time. I pulled the battery to reset, doesn't help. What did I do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Oops, flashing light indicates faulty battery or battery charging circuits. Check battery pins aren't a little bent, perhaps borrow a battery from friend / shop and see if it still happens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OldMouse:
I've had a Motorola Atrix 4G ever since the release last week, and I just now ran into some trouble. I recently tried to deplete the battery completely and then charge it all the way, to see if it would help the battery life (Ive done this before on other phone, and its worked, so I know im not crazy? RIGHT?!).

I played some Gun Bros for a while and then it powered off. I connected the charger cable to my phone and my computer, and left it for a while... and tried to turn it on. It didnt turn on, so I left it for a bit, and then tried again... and it still didnt turn on. Whenever I try to power it on, the notification light turns on for a bit, and then turn off.

This is my first Android device, so im really not sure if this is normal, or something.

My device is on 2.2 (of course), and has been rooted. Nothing extravagent has been installed on the device... just a few games, and some widgets.

If you guys need anything, just go ahead and ask.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OldMouse:

I had to plug it into the wall :|

[Desire General] eden2812:
What apps were running?

Have you tried installing current widget to see what is exactly happening, or how much voltage is going through your phone, even though it's sleeping? (ie, screen off)
[Desire General] gurpreet123:
I have not tried yet
[Desire General] martijn_bakker:
This happened to me a few times (with almost no apps running) on RC7. Updating to 2.01 seems to have fixed that for me.

If that doesn't help, try using a different kernel and/or a different radio version and see if that works for you (we're reduced to experimentation as nobody has ben able to determine what exactly causes this issue).
[Desire General] oursoul:
I'm well impressed with mine. I went to bed with it fully charged, used it a bit in bed, always play a game and check the forums. Not plugged in at all and woke up this morning and its still fully charged!!

Amazing, since I have yahoo messenger running always. Been using it a lot since I woke up and now on 96% but I know its mainly the screen that uses a lot.

Brilliant ROM tbh

[Atrix 4G General] Smallsmx3:
Ive been trying to install some stock android apk's and so far the only one i can get to work properly is the 3dgallery which is so much better than the motoblur one....i got the mms.apk installed but everytime i recieved a text itwould FC and i would get the same text twice
[Atrix 4G General] Zerxer:
I nabbed the Gallery 3D app too but, either it's just me, or it's rather irritating. When you click on the photo icon while in camera mode, it doesn't take you directly to the last picture taken; just plops you right down at the beginning of your camera album and makes you scroll through all the photos (annoying if you have a lot). Can't remember whether stock gallery was weird like this.
[Atrix 4G General] lostsoulktash:
Stock wasn't like that, it went directly to the last picture taken. Did you get the 3dgallery+ from the market or the official apk? I'm using the 3dgallery + and it does that.
[Atrix 4G General] Zerxer:
I got this from the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the wrong one. If so, could you link me to the one you are talking about? Searching 3dgallery just comes up with a bunch of non-relevant apps.

Oops....mine does the same.....i ripped it from a rom
[Atrix 4G General] xAlex79:
Hi, everyone

I am new to android and smartphones. I bought an Atrix and will be getting rid of my dumbphone.

I do not really like Motoblur (its okay, but I read that lunchers are MUCH smoother and also gives you alot more options to customize).

From what I can tell, the two big players are

- LauncherPro

- AWD Launcher

I would like to hear what you guys think of those and what are thier Pros/Cons if any?

Thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G General] kxhawkins:
I like LauncherPro. It's super fast and has lots of cool features. ADW lets you drag and drop onto the launcher which is really annoying to me. I was constantly flinging apps on to and off of it. Hope that helps.
[Atrix 4G General] The Bishop:
Launcher Pro is great for it's speed. I like Zeam because it lets you config the swipe up (open dialer) and swipe down (bring status screen down) on the front screens.
[Atrix 4G General] Fresh & Minty:
You can do that on launcher pro....
[Atrix 4G General] The Bishop:
how? the closest I've found is the gestures on the buttons at the bottom. I can't find anything that lets me swipe the middle (empty) part of my screens and have it do anything (I keep my icons on the top and bottom rows so I have 2 rows with which to do that swipe).
[Atrix 4G General] xyrovice:
I'll be very honest, I always seem to come back to Zeam.

It's light and fast and does the job a launcher should do and more...just lighter and faster.

The one thing I realized I couldn't live without was the double-tap action that you can set. I set it to expand my notifications, so now, instead of having to trek my wee thumb all the way up to the notifications bar and pull it down, I just double tap an empty spot on my screen and down it comes!

I've tried GO Launcher and LP...I don't know. Zeam is just the bees knees.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
I had Launcher Pro Plus on my Droid and loved it so much that when I switched to the Atrix, it was the first app I put on the phone. I've fooled around with ADW in the past, but was never a big fan.
[Atrix 4G General] madnav:
i prefer Launcher pro for speed and ADW.Launcher for drag and drop feature.

ADW also support widget resizing in free version.

Better Theming support for ADW

It is not as fast as Launcher pro but im still using ADW as it is very easy and fast to customize (change shortcuts and their icons)

i will switch to launcher pro when they add drag and drop to app drawer support (dunno if they already incorporated that since i haven't tried for atleast 3months now :P)
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Well I use Zeam right now on my Nexus one and love it; very clean and fast.

The customization features are a little lacking (arranging of different pages after they're already made) but the speed and lightness of the overall package makes up for it.
[Atrix 4G General] XXtremeAzzKicker:
I like the speed and feel of ADW Es but switched to Launch Pro Plus because of the widgets.
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
Launcher pro. Fastest, most consistent and smooth.
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
I use GoLauncher EX. Today it received a feature of looping homescreens. Best. Feature. Ever.
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
I tested both ADW and launcher pro when I first got the phone and end up getting the paid version of launcher pro. This is my first android phone, so I was learning a lot about it when I made the choice... honestly don't remember exactly why I chose launcher pro. I think I just generally liked the feel and some of the customization features, as well as widgets.
[Atrix 4G General] briankurtz79:
I use LP and was actually just searching my cyanogen and LP settings tonight to find a swipe setting but couldn't. Also using wave launcher which interfere with my not. Bar when sliding up so I'd really like this feature. How do you access it?
[Atrix 4G General] FNugget:
Custom launcher implies personal choice. You're better off asking why people pick and compare to what you like.
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
i have had all 3, LPP, ADW Ex, GO Launcher

Launcher Pro Plus feels bulky, although it might not be

ADW Ex is very easy to use / setup, but i still feel something is missing, I was an ADW fan until i tried Go launcher 2 days ago

I like GO launcher the best, its free first of all, then it got nice folder icons, easy to delete programs in app drawer, kill active background programs in a flash, and dont forget the promise weekly update

lets just say i m now a Go launcher fan, freaking awesome combo together with GO SMS
[Atrix 4G General] darkamikaze:
I'm an ADW Ex guy.

love the easy resizeable widgets, have multiple columns and rows, animation transitions, awesome secret dockbar,easy to drop icons on dock, customizable docks.., move pages around, delete pages around etc.

It's fast for me :/ I dunno why it's not fast for people. :x but we all have preferences.

I do like the widgets on LP+ .. one thing i like about it

for GO, I like the app menu because it has so much more than a regular app drawer

:x
[Atrix 4G General] xAlex79:
Just to clarify, you can get widgets such as beautiful widgets and the likes with custom launcheDO any of those launchers have GPU accelarated UIs?
[Atrix 4G General] milk242:
Just installed zeam, like the clean and simple menu look. One question, any way to change the icons in the dock?
[Atrix 4G General] twistedneck:
after trying launcher pro i came right back to motoblur. yea, its not as fast (although i didn't notice any slowdowns) but it looks a lot better. there is a reason why they fixed up the interface. Motorola did a slick job on this phone.
[Atrix 4G General] frankiedizzle87:
When using a different launcher does motoblur run in the backround still or do u get an overall new experience?
[Atrix 4G General] frankiedizzle87:
I wish I could like moto blurr like u. Ir lucky man

Ok, i know people should use the search button before posting a question, or submitting an incorrect fact BUT SERIOUSLY every other reply is just another person insulting someone else!

I know it's hard to keep your cool sometimes with people asking/stating the same things over and over, but is there rely the need to be an a*s about it. All thats going to do is provoke a reaction (Because everyone is invincible on the internet) and that will just lead to more useless posting, which if i'm right thats what you were trying to prevent in the first place!

This is not an attack on any person, nor is it meant to cause offense, but honestly forums are about friendship where everyone can come and gain advice/guidance or just have a nice chat to learn(Everyone has to start somewhere) and a lot of people on here are not helping them. Would you like to have someone talk to you like that when you were just starting out and didn't have a clue what you were doing?. . . NO you would want an easy answer so you could learn from it, in the same amount of time it takes to flame someone for not knowing it you could have told the the bloody answer!

I know I'll properly get a lot of people flaming me for this but just needed to get this out my system because i think its out of order.

Like me mum used to say "If you ain't got anything nice to say, pi*s off!" ;)

[Desire General] erklat:
Why would you get flamed when all you said is an honest truth?

The forum is full of morons and self appointed forum nazis, hell I could name a few in a split second who do this all the time...

This behaviour is probably induced by the lack of moderator presence. This Desire subforum has couple of thousand posts daily, and I see only two moderators listed.
[Desire General] eden2812:
Like it or not, this is a forum - and a HUGE one at that, as erklat has said, thousands of posts each day. This make stringent enforcement hard.

And every forum that I have ever been to seemed to have (sadly, but is it avoidable?) a social structure, whether clearly displayed or not - and probably, that's the way its going to be (for a long time to come).
[Desire General] cr1960:
big difference between taking the piss out of someone and abusing them tho....
[Desire General] EddyOS:
it comes down to laziness on users. People want information given to them on a plate and not have to find it themselves. The issue is that rule number 1 of the forum rules is to search

If you can't follow a simple rule then you deserve to get flamed
[Desire General] martijn_bakker:
So maybe I'm just reading the handfull of threads that are being actively policed by the moderators...

Or maybe I have a really thick skin..

Or maybe the very few people whom I do see getting flamed actually deserve what they're getting (i.e. those who expressly list in their post that they can't be arsed to search and those who have the gall to post in developer threads with "your rom sucks, I'll never use it unless you add ...")..

Whatever the cause, I simply don't agree with your observation. People here are being genuinely helpful and the mods are doing a great job cleaning up bad posts and flames (as evidenced by those "thread cleaned" posts every now and then).
[Desire General] th3:
Depends on the section. It's ruined the Dev section because of leniency so there's a major clamp-down now in process, which I obviously applaud.

I have not till date seen anyone of thousands ask a valid question/concern and be policed, ridiculed or flamed. The help here is extremely benevolent and common. However, hundreds make invalid, undeserving posts justifying scorn but get away with it with smiles in response. That's the other, bigger side of what you mention.

I hate the playground child forum behavior immensely too. Trust me, so do the mods I've come across. I've seen quite a few past the limits on this. The users who reply and continuously flame are usually just as bad, except the one offs and the ones justified. They're meant to simply report the one breaking the rules and mods will deal with them as justified.

In my limited experience, 99% of those opposing/objecting to following the set rules don't have a clue about them but have big mouths and like to talk any nonsense to justify what they did. They are clueless about the rules on xda-dev and what this place is all about long before they were ever aware of it. The 'mantra' here. They come on here expecting the place to follow their own personal beliefs and rules, just causing havoc. That's why mods say, if you be so, better find somewhere else. And if a user repeats the obvious oft-repeated, that insults and offends everyone. It's a spit in their face, and of the mods, and it is bound to anger many with justification. Those who abide by the rules have placed much time and effort in doing so. Don't expect them to just laugh around while another just comes storming in trampling on them with great disregard. The same goes in every sphere of life.

The internet shows time and time again how modern society en-masse fails grossly in the honesty, decency, humility, intelligence and mentality departments. Greed, ego and stupidity rule, that's why places like xda-dev need to have firm rules enforced to maintain some quality. This place was always known for quality, and having spoken to mods, I know they work hard - for free - to maintain it as so. Be human, have some regard for them and others here before posting.

What I would ask, is that people who see something that offends you, report it.

We can't read every post in every forum, but I can tell you that each and every report is seen and acted upon. We rely on members helping us to root out the bad apples.

This is what I've posted in the Oxygen thread. I think it sums up my feelings on this subject.
[Desire General] oursoul:
Lol, bad apples
[Desire General] marinierb:
No. This behaviour is usually induced by a severe lack of self esteem on the part of the bully.
[Desire General] DoomFragger:
In my opinion, if a question is deemed flammable, just report it instead of answering.

This can achieve two goals. People will start to understand that it will be faster to search instead of demand. And for those "Are we there yet"s, each unjustified bumps/reposts would count as multiples infractions. Thus, a faster banning. ;)
[Desire General] showham:
I must agree will that

[Desire General] foresterr:
That's very true. Flaming somebody for an idiotic post instead of reporting it makes about as much sense as posting only "Cool, thanks" instead of using the "Thanks" button. Waste of space.
