[Atrix 4G General] sstalder:
I will say if you sit the Atrix next to an iPhone 4 it makes the screen on the Atrix look 10 years old. Say what you want to defend that but it's the truth. The qHD screen doesn't even belong in the same league and I am by no means an Apple fanboy.

The phone was about 80% plastic, although it was very light to carry.

Now that is just my opinion and I would suggest you go look at one for yourself before making your decision.

Edit: Also there were a lot of small things that I didn't like, design wise. The ear piece speaker looked like it was just stuck on there quickly, wasn't aligned. Same with the camera hole, it was not aligned with the hole on the case, etc. You would never find these "flaws" or whatever you want to call them with a well designed piece of hardware. Overall it felt like a cheap built phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Athailias:
The AT&T store had a custom fitting screen protector that made the screen look like an old crt monitor. When I replaced my phone I didnt buy another screen protector and the display is pretty nice without it. I cant be sure that its more responsive without the screen protector as i have not put one on this specific phone, but its more responsive than the one I replaced.
[Atrix 4G General] SomeGut:
Overcome owned a captivate and now own an Atrix. I loved my captivate and would probably still have it if it weren't for the battery life. It couldn't go longer than like 6 hours for me, the Atrix om the other hand has gone as long as 14h for me. I miss my captivates screen but ill trade that for battery life. And motoblur has been a non factor for me. But If you have a captivate and like it, I probably wousldnt get the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
See thats the thing, there are so many things wrong with the captivate including GPS and Battery and to be honest the reception is not all that great, and neither is the speaker, or speakerphone so I guess I have one of two choices get the Atrix or wait for the S2(and there is no guarantee Samsung will get their act together with that model either..)
[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
i couldn't find a screen protector for mine
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
I'll chime in again. I said this on the forums for the cappy.

I would rather have a phone that works out of the box and is great than a phone that could have been great out of the box but was broken and required custom roms in order to make it just good.

The atrix has its issues, but compared to a captivate, it is solid and useable. I've given up my iphone 4 and my captivate for this phone and while it took some adjusting to daily routines, I am happy with the choice.
[Atrix 4G General] malfuncion:
Coming from an XDAndroid (WinMo phone), to a Dream (G1), then to a Cappy, and finally to the Atrix- I must say I actually really like this device.

The email and calendar is actually really nice. It literally blows the captivate away. I am a business user, so exchange was a big one to me. The craptivate had really bad email and calendar support. The emails were plain text, non formatted, and replies were somewhat lame looking. The Atrix is legit in this field- it has HTML and RichText support. It parses HTML too so the emails come in properly. Very good plus. Also, the Blur sucked in my exchange info the first time and did it properly, which the captivate never did (always had to manually do it).

I went ahead and rooted and deodex'd, sideloading enabled, tether and webtop enabled. The webtop, I must say, is completely OVER RATED! I got it on there and was like, "wow glad I didnt drop $500 for that!". Even with as little support this phone has in the way of Dev (ATM), I must say I am really satisfied. I still have the cap to flash with if I want and I think the G/F is getting an inspire so that should hold off the itch...

The overall performance of the phone is very nice. It's snappy and I havent really found all that many bugs. The one thing I have noticed is occasionally the home screen will look like its in 16bit mode, but a touch of the home button it comes back to normal.
[Atrix 4G General] wrayrb:
FWIW - One of the Atrix Reviews said the glass on the Atrix is Gorilla glass. If so, then no screen protector would be needed. Check the Corning website on gorilla glass - its is so tough that you can't scratch it with a coin or pen point.:D
[Atrix 4G General] robstunner:
Went from iPhone 4 -> Captivate -> Focus -> Nexus S -> Atrix. Atrix is my favorite so far. Just dont let all the nay sayers on the General Atrix section discourage you, 80% are trolls.
[Atrix 4G General] robstunner:
Just IMHO..
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
I've been having issues with the XDA app while using Froyo or Honeycomb from the SD card. The application frequently force closes.

Also if I try XDA through the web browser, I can't use the search function. I click search, the drop down dialog box appears, but as soon as I click on it to enter text, it goes away.

Seems I can't really use XDA from either app or browser on Nook with Froyo SD or Honeycomb SD (though both worked with a rooted Eclair).

This expected behavior? Any stability differences if I were to flash Froyo to the internal SD (using a class 6 SD card currently)?
[Nook Color General] Mighty_o:

I am having the same issue and I Froyo and Homeycomb flashed it to the internal memory....

[Nook Color General] gorby911:
Same here. I ended up just getting Tapatalk (which is what XDA app is based on) and it works great with XDA as well as many other forums. No FCs at all.

Is that the paid program which costs about 23hkd? or did I miss something in my market?
[Nook Color General] Vettesfan:
I am running CM7 v13 and I get a force close after signing in and clicking on a thread. Droidforums app works great though both built off of tapatalk
[Nook Color General] dizx:
Ok, purchased the Tapatalk app. All is well now.
[Nook Color General] nytwok:
Bought tapatalk. Everything is fine. it also provides a long list of pop forums to choose from. Furthermore, it turns out that 23 hkd is about 2.8usd which makes it a decent deal.
[Nook Color General] glenairlie:
I don't mind shelling out another buck or two on Tapatalk, but I'd also love it if XDA Premium would work on the NC :)

Anyone have any suggestions on how to solve the FC?

I've run the Fix Permissions, uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted etc. No love.

I'm running the emmc CM7 23 nightly with the Dalingrin 3/16 OC, ADW Launcher.
[Nook Color General] goblinpunk:
I'm having the same issue with the xda premium app. Works great until I log in and then FC as soon as I try to do anything. It worked fine running 2.1 but I recently upgraded to phiremod 5.1 and that is when the problem began.

I guess there's no solution for this? I'm also getting this error with a few other apps after flashing to 5.1 that were working before.

Still worth the update but frustrating for the few apps that will not work now.
[Nook Color General] killster:
5 dollar bounty for a fix.

Same issue, phiremod 5.1 and latest OC kernel as of 3.16, Soon as i try and open a thread or close the app if i signed on, i get a FC.

Premium app or not, this thread seems like alot of, ME TOO, or USE tapatalk..

i want to use the app i paid for, any dev's have any suggestions?

I will gladly send logcat if needed, i just want XDA app to work on my nook color!

Please... i put a 5 dollar bounty on a fix.

killster :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] JuniorBevins:
So, just use Tapatalk instead of XDA, or install Tapatalk then run XDA?

I was thinking of updating the standard ROM with something brewed by our dutch friends. However, I am lost there are several projects going on at the same time and that are in different status.

If I am not asking too much, can someone make a sticky topic with links to all ROM dev threads and brief description of them?

It is nice what you did in your blog, mate, but irrelevant to my request (and incomplete as well,as it doesn´t mention MIUI and other things)I was asking for a compact and sticky topic here on XDA with links to ROM threads.

[G Tablet General] Catch22!:
Hi. I looked but did not find an answer to this question. Can you charge the Gtab through either the micro or standard USB? I can't find anything in the manual (very poor manual).

I know you normally can charge a device using the USB. I have a micro usb car charger and would love to use it.
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
You cannot. The USB ports do not have enough OOMPH for that.
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
The Viewsonic G Tablet was not designed to be charged with any of the USB ports.

You must use the standard charging port for that.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
The battery on the GTablet requires more power than the usb ports can provide in order to conduct it's charging, so no....neither the usb port nor mini usb will charge the unit.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Squishie:
I have Sims 3 running perfectly on my Tab, however it was a pain in the ass.

I also have a Nexus One which WILL run the game so I took the downloaded files from it's install of Sims 3, and simply placed them onto my Internal SD card for the Tab. The game only checks what unit you're running when it downloads - if it finds the necessary files it boots right up.

****ing retarded, I know.

So long story short, you need to find a zip of the game's data files. I can't openly say where you should find yours, but I guarantee it's *not* here.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Azhad:
I don't see why you can't upload them here, you still need to buy the app to play the game, so it's not warez.

He may have stopped taking requests, but the steps are fairly easy to follow.

Also, this method is for the old xperia launcher. They may not work with the active launcher.

thanks turdferguson92 that should get me going, its really not a huge problem but would like to use all the screen real estate....at least ill be able to turn off all the extra homescreens now, i just use 1 :p
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dennisaur:
I've been able to change the number of home screens as well, however I noticed that this launcher handles widget sizing differently?

The desktop grid is set to 6 columns but when I try to put for example, a 4x2 widget, it will only use up 3 columns:confused:

What can I do to fix that?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jacobas92:
Yeah, I noticed that as well. As far as I know, the sizing on that particular version seems correct. But I'm sure I missed something after looking over it.

I would try to fix it myself but I haven't really had the time lately. As for fixing it yourself, it's just a matter of decompiling it, editing a couple of xml's, and zippin' it back up.

[Android Software Development] Putzy:
I would be VERY interested in seeing this developed... If only I could code Java. :(
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
If we make it an open source thing I'd be happy to contribute some code from BlueMuze

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alostpacket.bluemuze

I don't know anything about running an open source project though so. But I have some mediaplayer and album art utils I could probably contribute.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
Design is uber too btw
[Android Software Development] andytsui:
I am interested in helping to implement it under MVVM with Android Binding
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
No offense meant by this at all, but can you explain why this would be helpful?

From what I gather MVVM is a new design pattern created to solve coding problems with Windows Presentation Foundation. This is hardly a time tested classic like MVC. It seems like shoehorning an MS technique into java (square peg, round hole). It also doesn't look complete... v0.2?

It seems to me, that if we're going to make this an open source project, we should pick design patterns that people know, and that fit the job. I'm not convinced a framework is needed at all too, especially with a media player on a limited power/resources device. Inverting control to a framework can (potentially) be limiting in where you can make optimizations and adds another layer to the stack.

Your framework looks like a very nice start though, and it looks like it will be very helpful for WPF/Silverlight coders making the move to Android some day. But from what I can understand of it at a glance, I'd wouldn't recommend it for this project unless all the coders were former WPF devs and you were further along in finishing it.

Android also already has a fair amount of code built into the API for binding adapters to views too. And where we bind will be cruicial for perfomance. Remember, music collections are often 1000 songs or more, and the data is in multiple tables. Cursor adapters also don't always work well because you dont want to be doing a DB lookup at every turn, while also decoding album art (skia with throw a bunch of OOM errors). We need to be very careful to reuse views and not maintain references to dead objects. (Something a framework can sometimes do unbeknownst to the programmer).

Unless... I don't know....maybe I'm completely misunderstanding what you're saying. If I am I appologize.

Anyways I'm still happy to donate my database utils and album art utils, (neither of which are perfect either) but what this project really needs is a lead willing to begin setting up the repo, and willing to devote time to integrating patches / setting standards.
[Android Software Development] sageDieu:
My friend and I have done some dev work on games and minecraft things before for fun, maybe this could be something real we could have a go at.
[Android Software Development] andytsui:
Man, I agree most of what you say.

Talking about the pattern itself is not the scope of this thread, so I should keep it short. MVVM is a derivative from MVC, while MVC is, as you suggested, a long-tested pattern, it doesn't really fits well in windows-based UI and that's why MVVM is suggested. No matter MVVM, MVC, MVP are all about clean separation of responsibility, to me, Android Activities are too overloaded. I like programming Android stuff, but at the very first I started it feels so 1990s in terms of UI. That's the reason I started the framework. (well, XML layout is at least better than SWING)

-------------------------------

Back to the project, I agree a project lead is needed, I think I have quite some spare time to take this post, only my time zone (GST+8) might not easy for interactive discussion.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
I wouldn't worry to much about the timezone thing. This seems like the kind of project that could take a considerable amount of time to finish. So might as well take it slow and we can use message boards & emails to communicate.

Hopefully a few more devs will pitch in too.
[Android Software Development] andytsui:
Fine. So far we have:

Initial design (thiago-silva)

DB and Album Art caching (alotspacket)

UI (by me)

For me the major part that don't know how to do is the equalizer since it involves lots of signal processing and (maybe) ndk work, moreover, the UI designer didn't yet jump in to say anything?
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
Yeah EQ is the hardest part, it would have to be done in the NDK if we're planning on supporting anything older than Gingerbread. In Gingerbread I think we could use some of the newer audio features but I'm not 100% sure.

Agreed also that I would love to hear from the original poster, forgot to check how old this thread is, since it was bumped recently... Looks like it was a bit over 3 weeks ago.

I sent him an email (through the forum) so hopefully he will drop by :)
[Android Software Development] thiago-silva:
Hey, it's me here :-)

Love the idea for a open-source project, if you guys need some help i'll be glad to provide it.
[Android Software Development] andytsui:
I didn't take much time to look at Gingerbread or Honeycomb SDK yet, but no matter what, I think supports to 2.1+ will be the best (2.3+ is too niche at the moment) so we need some NDK eq coder... or just leave that in future update.

If we got enough man-power, a more detailed story board might be needed.

I would suggest working on the layouts first, getting all the views to look right and have the buttons in the right places, etc. That's what I'm doing with my music player. I have a [Prototype] in the market so that people can test it on their devices to make sure that its compatible. I don't have any music functionalities as of yet, but that's what I'm working on at the moment. Look for Legacy Music Player in the market to see what I'm talking about. Ill help out with views and such, if you ask nicely :P

I would imagine the Honeycomb will be too. What I was wondering was if the new music app they leaked will be open or closed. It could fall under either. But if this is the cloud music app then I think you're right and it will fall under the Gmail closed source group.

I think we should start a discussion group (in google groups, maybe) for every interested party to sign up. We can at least have better organized threads to work with there.
