[HTC Inspire 4G] Technomancer:
Here are my thoughts about Atrix vs Inspire battle.

I got Atrix for my wife.

Then couple weeks later I got Inspire for me.

Objectively I would say Atrix is more of a phone - dual core, better resolution screen etc.

But Inspire is much more hackable and has better dev support.

So I rooted the Atrix, installed all the basic stuff and my wife seems happy with it. She doesn't mind Blur.

I have unlocked (S-off) and flashed my Inspire with Revolution ROM the first day I got it. I will update to CM7 whet it gets stable. Inspire has lower specs on paper, but it is much more usable for me. I need stable, customizable phone to use as my main device (so far I used Galaxy Tab with my CM7 port and my Tab is becoming my permanently broken dev device ;-)) And I like bigger Inspire screen and solid metal case much better.

Two things that piss me off about Inspire though. The battery cover sucks and it is hard to remove (had to push it up with screwdriver, my fingernails were not strong enough) and the sim/microsd cover doesn't fit flush with the case and there is also little gap between the cover and main phone body. Bleh. Nexus One cover is nicer. Oh, and no chance for bigger battery with custom cover like in N1.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickleson:
The atrix is a great phone and everything but for the two weeks I had it everyone complained about the call quality. Other than that I thought blur was alright. Sense is way better and I'm probably going to be the only one on this forum that doesn't root their phone but I don't mind about that boat loader thing. The inspire feels like it has a better battery life. Yea don't even know how that's possible. The inspire so far has owned the atrix for me in bat life. The screen is more appealing on the inspire and lastly sense is amazing. It's quite remarkable that sense is ( I think) almost as if jot more polished than ios. Everything runs so smoothly. That's my two cents.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pachkamil:
I love the inspire with its htc sence, great camera, large screen, and good build quality. I wouldn't waste an upgrade on it since this phone is good NOW it will be way outdated in a couple of months with the dual core phones coming out. People may argue that all technology is outdated the second you buy it. Although thats true phones like the atrix will stay "on top" for a little longer than the inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] poriggity:
I played with both for a long time before making my decision, and went inspire. The colors on the atrix suck, and the phone is very laggy. I am very happy with my inspire in all aspects.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ultra Droid:
I own both phones and like them both. Both are rooted and have custom roms. For the Atrix, that reads "roms", but the locked bootloader is no bigger of a barrier to custom rom development than the Droid X. Look at where we've gone on that phone in less than a year's time! There is an abundance of great roms and other software available for the DX, and I'm hopeful that we'll have a similar amount for the Atrix in the near future.

The Inspire is a good, solid phone - but I don't consider it a game changer. In many respects, it's a slightly larger HTC Incredible - but I found it a lot more difficult to root than the Incredible was. The screen's big and nice looking, I really like the newer version of Sense - the old version was one of the driving forces for me to root my Dinc, and get RID OF the earlier Sense. The battery on the Inspire is LOUSY, but that doesn't bother me. If the thing needs a charge, I simply plug it in and charge it - no biggie.

As I said, I own both phones and like them both quite a bit. Like my children, I'm not naming one my favorite, they're both *worthy* phones. :)

Gotta Love the Inspire...& yes I am biased.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Inarius03:
I almost got an Atrix based on specs alone, but then I read up and watched lots of YouTube, specifically a review from SmartphoneEnvy comparing them both directly. Inspire got my vote.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ChiefWilNel:
yeah I know this is a zombie thread. but what are your thoughts on this debate now. I am a new owner of both phones. I do not see some of the hate you guys have with the atrix pre gingerbread atrix was really that bad? granted I put redpill on it 2 days after I had it. But I didnt mind the factory, i just hate blur because of andriod 1.6 and a backflip :p. My wife has the inspire and the only dig i will make about it is the low volume...really what is up with that crap
[HTC Inspire 4G] squint986:
i know it can be louder after a fews mods its just the fact that i think that HTC is trying not to get Speakers to blow out and put a cap on the Speaker :3
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joshp406:
My complaint about the Atrix is blur. Dont EVER make me go back to that. Waiting for CM7 on the backflip was bad enough *shudder*

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Lolz, what?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
I hated the feel of the atrix, which felt more like a Samsung than moto. It surprised me. Too light and flimsy for my liking. And the unlock thing was a bit gimicky.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jpcdeux:
I took my Atrix back for an Inspire. Don't regret that choice AT ALL!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] DiamondJay20:
Inspire is crap: bad battery life, tons of bloatware you can't uninstall without Ti-Backup, and took forever to get GB, plus it has HTC nonSense. Atrix with GB is perfect. Even with Froyo it was still better, and had a battery life, which is 10000 better with GB than Inspire or Atrix 2.2.2
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Hello, welcome to the XDA Forum where we've all rooted our Inspires. Once the Inspire is rooted and running one of the dozens of custom ROMs, every argument you made goes right out the window. Battery life is 2-4 times better than stock, we've had Gingerbread since March, and many non Sense and AOSP ROMs to choose from. So I guess your garbage is our treasure. P.S. MotoBlur sucks worse than Sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jpcdeux:
Cool so does an Atrix. Unlock bootloader and try to relock it. Oh, you can't! Bye bye warranty
[HTC Inspire 4G] crimsonsky:
I considered the Atrix after having had my Inspire for couple of weeks, based purely on specs which make the Atrix look better on paper. But after playing with one in the local AT&T store I decided to stay with the Inspire (which I've loved from day one, but I was being tempted by the specs of the Atrix). The Atrix just felt kind of cheesy and Blur is a disaster compared to Sense. So sticking with the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] boredbutter:
Inspire is by far a better bang for the buck... As far as Sense vs. motoblur... It's just an issue if which you can tolerate more...

Personally I still have nightmares about blur...
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeremyshaw:
I have both, and while the inspire's screen is much better (despite the resolution), I'm a specs whore, :(. Otherwise, I would of gotten the HD7S, lol. So I got my atrix, and my dear mother now has a new inspire 4G :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] AudioMaster13:
I had the same dilemma about a month ago, I went to the store and looked at the two phones side by side and the glorious screen on the Inspire won me over. Haven't looked back since. The battery life isn't as good, but with custom ROM's and Kernels, its more than enough to get me through the day. Love my big beautiful Inspire!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribestros:
The Inspire has the best smartphone battery life after rooting and flashing NINJA, hands down. I out-do iPhone 4.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
I took my atrix back for an inspire and also never looked back. With the HTC dev Program, I know I made a good choice. I'm also getting as good of battery life undervolted heavily and oc'd running CM7. With the inspire kernel source released which I've been playing around with, I'm guessing a lot of sound complaints are about to diminish.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
I've had 1 day and 3 hours, 5 hours 47 mins screen on time and still had 24 percent.....browsing WiFi 85 percent of that screen on time...

What's the best you've gotten with the atrix? Even if you can match that... You still lose on everything else except CPU clock speed and RAM... Which I'm sure still can't perform as well as the inspire in the real world where it actually matters...

Lastly sense is great.

The only reason I would be able to understand for not wanting it are ram free up and battery life... And I guess maybe a little quicker performance with aosp.

I think a lot of people like to get rid of it so they can show off how "modded" their phone is.... I also think a lot of people like to over exaggerate the differences between some of the roms and platforms. As a whole, a smart phone can do a LOT regardless of the Rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeIsCore:
I actually planned on getting the Atrix, but went for the inspire because of the build quality, and because i didnt want to wait for the Atrix to come out. Now after playing with a co workers Atrix and seeing the new Blur i'm kicking myself for not waiting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] boredbutter:
Blur is so awesome that last time I owned a Moto (Backflop)... It had a lovely glitch in it causing my 165 contacts to get replicated to over 3100 contacts...

Different strokes for different folks...

[HTC Inspire 4G] htcslic:
I prefer the Inspire over the Atrix. Only reason I chose the Inspire at first was because the Atrix didn't come with the dock stock. Ended up trading for an Atrix. Kept the Atrix for a month and I prefer Sense over Blur.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infestedd:
hi, i tried to search but got no luck, im going to flash back to stock eclair, downloaded everything necessarry (odin, rom and pit) but :

i saw somewhere that voodoo can cause a bootloop if i flash a rom with odin. im now using bionix 1.3.1.

what i did is disabled vooodoo lagfix on CWR, on voodoo control app, it says my phone does not have a kernell that suport voodoo features, so i think im good to go.

can i flash or i need to do anything else so nothing wrong happens?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infestedd:
downloaded voodoo toggle and turned it off, its trustable?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
yes. before you flash back to stock make sure there's the disable voodoo file in your voodoo folder.

What ROM are you on?

Is your coverage bad?

Have you tried doing this while connected to wifi?
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
Ok, I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of nook roms out there, and I would like to know what everyone uses and why.

I've tried 2, and they all have benefits/negatives and I'm trying to figure out which to be my daily driver, while we wait for the next generation of roms to come about.
[Nook Color General] barrist:
well which 2 have you already tried?
[Nook Color General] dkabot:
I personally use CyanogenMod 7, but that's because I use it on my Droid, and that's because it's the first ROM I found when I got my droid.

I haven't had it crash on me yet, but there was a Wi-Fi problem I had to fix through ADB. (Link) Otherwise, it's been more than good enough for a daily driver. I really haven't had experience with other ROMs. I just flashed the thing with CM7 while I was still in B&N. I would recommend a Honeycomb ROM, but that's not very "complete" yet.

Sorry I can't say much else (:(), but I gave my $.02.
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
I wasn't going to mention them so I could hear everyone's full opinion despite what I've tried and not hold back because I've tried it.

However, I don't want to be a **** so it's cm7 and HC v.4 ;) now don't let that sway your opinions!
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
I was having the wifi issues to (Atleast I assume it's the same, I would just lose connection and have to reconnect pretty consistently) the thing that actually bothered me most about it was the back and menu buttons up at the top right. To small, wanted a different more tablety layout.
[Nook Color General] dkabot:
Oh, no the Wi-Fi issue was much worse. I couldn't get the chip to activate! At least the fix worked, though.

If "too small" is the problem, increase the LCD Density.

If you want a more tablet-like layout, you will have to deal with Honeycomb in its current state.

If you don't like the CM7 buttons, use SoftKeys or Button Savior.

(I would post links, but I can't.)
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
I tried soft keys, but I haven't tried button savior. and didn't know about lcd density. If I go back (which isn't in my nature with roms) I may try it out.

I'm really liking honeycomb especially as far as layout, but I would like a bit more stability. But really I Can live with whatever, the nook is really my fourth internet device and currently just a toy.
[Nook Color General] dkabot:
The solution is patience, then.

Wait for the Google to give us the source, and all your problems will be solved.

(Don't forget that HC is a port of the SDK emulator image.)
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
well I knew that, that's why I wanted to know what everyone else is using so maybe I could try some other things out... during that wait it out time :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] dkabot:
Well... if you want to try a Galaxy Tab-like experience, try this:

Install Nookie Froyo

Set LCD Density to 250

Install ADW and set the app drawer to paged.

(Continue with other minor tweaks here)
[Nook Color General] droiddoes69:
i'm rolling nookie froyo 0.6.7, but i'm going to move up to 0.6.8 soon. i like it, but i'm sure honeycomb is much better. since the bugs in hc for the nook color are still being hammered out, though, i'm going to stick with the stable froyo rom for the time being.
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
Is this rom an actual port of the tab, or is it just made to look like the tab?

Yeah this is kind of the info I was looking for, trying to see which roms had what features and still had the best stability.

HC is awesome, but not yet a daily driver (unless you're the adventurous type) I have a friend who is about to buy a nc for himself and he wants me to root it for him. I have no problems with a buggy rom for me, but for him I need stable yet best.
[Nook Color General] lafester:
not sure where you are getting the idea that there are so many roms to choose from.

We have stock rooted, nookie froyo, honeycomb v3 and cyanogenmod (gingerbread).

there is one modified version of cyanogenmod -- firemod and one customized nookie froyo build. thats about it as far as i know... am i missing a bunch of roms somewhere?

you can try all of them out relatively quickly and form your own opinion but if you insist....

stock rooted is the most functional option at the moment. oc to 1100mhz for speed and other tweaks. nookie froyo is second with faster overall 'smoothness' but still has some bugs to work out. third is cyanogenmod which is quickly catching up to froyo and is my personal favorite. just needs video acceleration at this point. last is honeycomb but very fun to play with.
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
That might be all of them, it seems a bit more for anyone walking into this dev thread, with the internal and on sdcard roms.

But seeing them listed out like this is very helpful thank you!

Is there large differences between the customized roms and their noncustomized origins?
[Nook Color General] survivor_evil:
personally id recommend rooted stock rom. Ive tried nookie froyo and honeycomb v4. Froyo was really slow. It was really frustrating browsing with it. Honeycomb is much faster than froyo but a lot of apps dont install. Stock rom was stable and I wasnt able to install just a couple of apps that I tried from the android market
[Nook Color General] droiddoes69:
personally, i'm only adventurous to the point of rooting. after that, i want stability. i don't mind staying a release or 2 behind the most recent releases just so i know the issues are being dealt with.

with froyo, i'm able to use my own launcher and customize pretty much to my liking. i still don't see all the apps i want in the market, but there are enough forum posts here and on android central that link you to apk downloads so that you can install them through adb. i've seen some fixes for this, but it seems to be an issue on both froyo and hc. hope this helps!
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
I didn't like how much the stock rom seemed like, well a nook color ;) which is great but in this instance I wanted to get a tablet!

With my phone, I'm less adventurous, I have calmed down to where now I only put release candidate and stable cm roms.

However I got this nook for a really really great deal (100$ plus the cover) and I want to try out whatever I can (and if possible help, though I have little to none coding skills) I might have to try the froyo build out since it's technically the only one I Haven't tried based on the above list (minus the 2 custom roms)
[Nook Color General] zealious:
I kinda wish there was a customized version of the stock rom.

I guess the oc kernel counts?
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
I actually just bought setcpu to try overclocking the kernals a little bit on my NC.

What would You customize about stock?
[Nook Color General] lafester:
after flashing back to froyo i must say it is far better then I remembered.

maybe it's the newer kernels but it is fast and smooth. hardware video works which i was missing on cm7.

so i change my (current) order to nookie froyo, then stock rooted, followed by cm7 and then honeycomb. i would try them all though and see for yourself.
[Nook Color General] constellanation:
This is where me attemption to try a different rom got me...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=986060

if/once I get through this, I hopefully will be trying the froyo rom. which is where I was heading when this little mishap happened :)
[Nook Color General] zealious:
with overclocking its impossible for one to tell another the perfect oc for any cpu.

its all about the silicon, man and every chip is different.. imperfections and what not..

thats why this chip technically ranges from 600mhz to 1100mhz.. they test the batches of silicone to see what speeds they can reach...

some times to save costs its easier to test 1200mhz cpu only up to 600mhz so that way all the cpus that would not have met that 1200mhz clock would still be able to sell to the consumer... instead of getting thrown out.

At least thats how i understand it..

SO basically u have to oc ur self and experiment. I have no exp with nook and oc but looking at the build version of the cpu it should handle much higher than 600.. i have a droid milestone with same chip, but earlier revision and i had bad luck oc it even from 600 to 800... it would get very hot and my wifi would drop... yet when i tried it with another milestone i was able to pull off 800 no probs didnt get warm and had no issues...

unrelated tho... know what would be nifty? IF autonooter added cwm!
[Nook Color General] runhopskipjump:
I agree. I just put froyo as my second os with the lastest kernel and this thing is fast! I missed the YouTube apply and hardware video acceleration that cm7 is still missing. Also the standby battery life is a plus. Deep sleep is a blessing. Dalingrin's kernels are amazing!

Also I recommend the nook froyo clean theme with softkeys. Just remember to use a third party browser with this theme because it causes the stock browser to force close.

I just miss the notification Widgets from cm7 and the text selection from gingerbread. Hopefully deep sleep and hardware video acceleration get solved eventually!
