I am honestly dissapointed with my Fascinate, I bought it because I thought it was going to be very costumizable, with the open loader and all that, the reality is that most devs are not even putting attention to this phone, only a handfull are, I have had it since the first day that came out, and development for this phone is going really really slow, and full of issues.
Relax bro, all good things will come. I was able to mod my phone a lot because these devs are putting all they can into our phone's development.
We already have lag fixes, OC kernels, debloating tutorials, backlight mods, standard unlocking screens, etcetc. Not to mention plenty of themes, apps, and other cool things.
Just relax and take a breather. We got froyo on the way and developers are waiting for that so they can really unleash the beast.

WTF do you need that wasn't described in Post #2?
Don't say Froyo, because that's something EVERYONE wants. My phone does everything I want it to at a blazing speed, maybe you're just lazy and don't look into things deeper. IDK.

I am very very very very very very happy with it. Only lacking .gif support in the browser. But that's what 2.2 is for.
good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.
if you want to customize your phone learn to make apps,themes, and what not your self.you can't customize your phone if you don't put effort into it. don't complain if you won't contribute and work at it

Actually, there are devs but they don't have the froyo kernal to work with. SGS international version has the kernal leaked, that's why they have the froyo-beta-ish roms.

Having come from an N1, which is inarguably the most dev friendly Android phone to date, I have to whole heartedly disagree with the OP. It is a little aggravating dealing with Voodoo now and then, and the processes are a little different, but all in all this phone is fantastic.
I have a custom bare-bone type rom built, fully themed and customized to my hearts content. Four installed launchers that each have a completely different style and feel which I can switch at will. OC Voodoo lag and color fix kernel running on interactive thanks to Jt, and plenty of mix and match mods and hacks to keep me flashing back and forth so frequently no one can actually call me.
We do only have a handful of devs working on the fascinate currently. They happen to also be pretty damn awesome, and give us plenty to work and play with.
I have to re-ask the question, what the hell are you actually looking to do that you can't?

How come everyone who has a bad experience, or is disapointed with there device gets called a troll? Isnt this the purpose of the Forums....to speak your opinion, learn a few things and see if anyone feels the same way?
I remember when everyone ...well people still do make fun of apple fan boyz because thats all they love is apple....but i have the feeling android fanz are becoming the same thing....close minded and haterz!!!
The purpose of android was openess and freedom....so wake up people the trolls are not those who complain about a priduct they paid good $$$$ money fir but are disapointed... the trolls are the haterz and people who beleive that there the best and there way is the only way!!!
Generally because you can sum up their complaints to a) why aren't devs giving me what I want now b) I have had my phone a month, understand very little but need to complain, or c) this phone sucks, I had my g1 for a year and we had tons of mods, dev r teh lazy.
So yeah, trolls.
If they were here to learn... The complaints wouldn't be their posting topics, they would be off learning. They are here to feed off others works and complain.

I gotta disagree with you, the thread is posted in the general section. If hes disapointed with the phone. I think its good if he tells us why. Im disapointed not because of support with the phone but because alot of stuff out the box doesnt work as advertised.....gps lag etc............and yes there are lag fixes but i paid top $$$ for it to work out the box not for me to go find a fix.
either way i think the word troll is used to freely.

I agree with you about the general section & out of the box comment. Its just that there are many other threads with the same topic. But he has the right to post this question, and I was merely asking what was wrong with the phone according to him. Out of the box, the phone is still very capable and it honestly doesnt need to be modded. But the mods are very nice.
Also what phone is perfect stock? There's always cons, and that's why we're on the forums looking for answers.

what rom are you running?
I don't have any lag... I'm running Pancake (1.5) without Sense. It uses Gbhil's custom kernel with pretty nice settings, so I always have about 60MB free (no lag). I also put the Darkstar theme on it, so it looks nice even without Sense.
fixxxer2008, you've started so many threads about how you're tired of this phone or how you want something new and you just seem like you complain a lot and you want fulfillment from others and agreement that they feel the same way. You're a senior member and all, and you've been here for a heck of a lot longer than I have. But that doesn't mean that you can whine about your phone this much. If you want to sell it, then by all means sell it. But this is about as good as it gets right now for phones. There's a little bit of lag, yeah. There are weird hardware instances where the phone bricks itself. Hell we can't figure out how to change the color of the time in the toolbar.
But the HTC Heroc/ Droid Eris won the about.com award for best smartphone 2010. It's the best phone available on sprint right now, and it heralded in the debut of Sense UI for android.
If you don't like it, then stop complaining and do something about it. like sell it. or make your own ROM for it. or smash it against a wall, post it on youtube and let us all see. Words are just that; Words. They don't really do anything in real life
I'm not trying to call you out of offend anyone here, I love this community. But posts stating 'i hate my phone cuz it's not perfect' don't help progress move forward at all.
Damage control couldn't be any faster. The title says it's lighting fast and from what I've seen t literally is that. I haven't seen ASOP run any faster on my phone. So if DC is any indication then the 2.1 release will be pretty quick, or the ROMS built off it at least will be as fast.
For what it's worth my wife also has a hero, and she's on stock 1.5. It's slow as hell. I reflashed mine to update my PRL to fresh 1.1 and IT was slow as hell (though much faster than stock). Then I went back to DC 1.0 where things are instantaneous.
So yes, if you're still running 1.5 then it's likely going to be slow. Also try and remember that it's one of the first Android phones. It's going to take time to work the bugs out of the OS and the 2.1 ROMs do a damned good job of speeding up the operations.
Yeah I saw if you want FAST, got to DamageControl. It's just ridiculous

unlike you guys i have no desire to make or learn to build roms and themes, i just install. look i payed a ton of $$ for this phone and i want to get my moneys worth. you guys know the hero has been known for the lag and slowness and im not the only one complaining about it...just do a google search. god forbid i give my opinion.
Hum im running fresh 2.0b and couldnt be happier..fast runs great..I agree regardless if your not happy.. by all means get something else.. but since u have had just bout every sprint phone in the current roster..then maybe a dumbphone whileu wait for the N1 may be in order..lol but im sure by the time the N1 comes out u will find something else wrong with it.. so not really sure what to tell u.. find a phone and live with it.
I hear the iPhone is pretty fast
DamageControl fixed all the issues I had with speed. You really should try it.

Thank you!!
I saw a thread where you listed the phones you have owned in the past year. It's more then obvious you can not be pleased by any means or you have out of control ADD (me too) But I channel it into making my phone better, rather then starting pity party posts.
Then there is this classic uh oh... im getting bored with the hero
Not to mention all the replies that you posted threatening to return your Hero because of dust under the screen.
Please please just sell your Hero. Then move on to the next forum with a new laundry list of complaints about <insert phone name here>
so how much you want for it
so since this thread really doesn't have a point...
Did you know that chocolate PEZ doesn't really taste like chocolate?
That's about it for me. But first a point or two.
Why I came here, what I hoped to provide and why I'm done:
I will be the first one to acknowledge that TW have this thing down way better than I do! I am running Nero Beta 3 as I am typing this! It would have taken me forever to come up with a 2.2 mounting fix, FOREVER. Even more, they were kind enough to give me my own repo on their site. They have been great to me and I have learned so much from them.
BUT, I wanted to provide a little variety for people between the Eugene/Master/TW releases. I think I did just that.
Mjollnir: My first try at a rom, nothing more that just a really, really big theme.
sXe: My second try which included backwards compatible framework.
Volholl: My JK2 / JK6 / JL1 Hybrid
Volholl Valkyrie: Pure JL4
Volholl Ragnarok: Only known 2.2.1 port released for Vibrant, with working wifi and gps - even with the signal related soft boot bug, I was the only one brave enough to put it all on the line and release it,
Volholl PepperKake : Pure JL5 with all images, sounds plus, plus ripped from Nexus S dump
How is it so easy to criticize someone who spends countless hours putting something together for you for free? When you have done nothing for the community other than demand more?
As far as I know, everyone respects sombionix, yet even he has had to come on here and defend a stock release because everyone kept complaining that it MAY have included TW init - which it didn't.
So, that is my rant.
I will continue to release Roms, Themes, whatever you decide to call them - they just won't be posted on XDA for a while, or ever..
Sorry to see it came to this man since I think you have provided some really useful stuff. Sad how people feel the need to troll and criticize things needlessly but I will continue to follow you else where.
Woahhh... Wait, what happened.? I got back within the hour from being with family on Christmas.. More people trolling & flaming people? Didn't we just have a town hall meeting?
Yeah but some people just don't appreciate the hard work of you guys. All they do is come here and complain over little insignificant things because they apparently font get enough attention at home. I don't blame heathen at all for dumping this place. Good thing I can still use his stuff on tw forums.

I am new to this forum and I was lucky enough to grab your Nexus clone for the Vibrant. I absolutely love this rom. That is all.
Honestly, the Vibrant section of this site is going to hell with all these pr*cks pissing off those that actually do something for others. These are the worst of the worst, because not only do they not do anything, but they keep others from doing work as well. Do we really have to be such a$$es while offering criticism?

F*** off. Don't come on this forum if you dont like it.
The point is that this is one of Sprint's "top of the line" phones. Why don't I have the bells and whistles that the comperable Evo has? I paid a premium to have this device and all the features its capable of. I'd like to be able to enjoy those highlights.
On a side note if Samsung/Sprint did a little bit better job of keeping everyone in the loop on where they were with updates it wouldn't be such a big deal. I don't need specifics but a ballpark timeline would be nice. It's all about managing people's expectations.

Hopefully fix gps / keyboard issues. My gps locked like a glove on DK28 and closer than I have ever seen on DI18. I enjoyed the new style of text messaging too. Its all about user expierience. Flash would be nice too.
I ran the leaked DK28 build for awhile and enjoyed it quite a bit but it obviously wasn't finished. I'd like to give the finished product a run.
Im in no hurry for froyo til mobile ap starts working on it, wireless tether sucks ass in comoarison, also my gps works great on d118 the only thing froyo will bring me is flash and apps2sd which apps2sd is not even a big deal for me im nit running out of space or anything and my phone does everything I want my phone todo.

The main thing I want it on my wife's Epic is for C2DM or cloud to device messaging for third party apps. I'd like it so that apps can use less battery power that do notifications among other things.
Also the JIT's kinda nice too..
I haven't done any complaining about it on the forum but one would think one of the best/most expensive android phones on the market would come with the latest version of Android. Anyway personally I went back to running 2.1 with Phoenix/Syndicate Rom after trying a whole slew of 2.2 ROMs. I'll just wait around for the official Froyo and try not to think about it....

Really guys?
- Purpose of this tread is not to complain about LWP. That's why its called "Atrix Trade In" and asks "what is the best way to go about trading in an Atrix." For purposes of this thread, it doesn't matter WHY I'm doing, just the best WAY to do it.
- I know standard ways of selling a phone. Just like you can sell anything else. I'm not an idiot. That's why I asked for the BEST way to sell the phone i.e. some exchange that I may not know about where people exchange devices etc, or potential some return program through AT&T that I may not know about.
No need to be complete d$&#s.

Really?? Sure sounds like you're one. Selling a great phone like this just because you cant figure out how to use lwp properly.(and its not that big of a deal anyway)

I'm so confused. I'm using my Atrix right now, and I've definitely got a live wallpaper going right now.
Also, if you're really gonna sell it, Craigslist. I've sold a couple smart phones and plenty of music gear within 24 hours or less for a good price. Just make sure to put up pictures and your phone number, and if possible have original packaging and proof of purchase.

What the op means is he wants gingerbread, gingerbread brought along hardware acceleration. Hes going to trade his new phone because there is a tiny amount of lag in the launcher while using an ornamental wall paper. Well I am a ****, so I'll go ahead and say it, you are an impatient moron. You are asking a developer website how to trade a phone... GOOGLE IT.. on your google phone.

Well at least you'll admit it - that's the first step, I guess. Moron? Do you even know what the word moron means? Apparently I have "mild retardation" because I asked how to sell a phone. That makes sense.
And this is General Atrix forum. Development questions go in the Development forum. XDA, true, began as a development forum but has obviously expanded. Check the rest of the threads in this General Atrix forum - most have nothing to do with development. If anyone has mild retardation, it seems to be you, because apparently you can't read (note: illiteracy is a sign of mental retardation).
Thanks for the tip on Craig's list! I'll check that out. The lag comes in when you use a launcher with animations with LWP. LWP works, just not well enough for my tastes (I bought "the most powerful smart phone in the world" so things like this wouldn't be an issue).
The OP isn't really looking for help. This is just an attempt to take a jab at the Atrix veiled as a request for assistance.
At least that's my take on it.

This site is called xda developers just so you know, and this is the general section... Not the useless section. (note: thats Q/A )
The atrix general forum is filled with confused people asking for help and giving advice. There are questions about the atrix in mexico, how to enable 1080p recording, how to get better battery life. Then there is you... Asking how to trade the atrix. Just say it to yourself... How to trade the atrix...
I'm glad your just discovering the interwebz but scooby doo is less confused then you.

Mine runs SPB Shell and live wall paper without a hint of lag or a hicup of any sort.
Simply put....from your short ass first post it looks like this is the biggest problem you have with your atrix.
Just sayin'.

Side track.. That's cool... I think spb mobile is pretty badass. I thought with all that hardware acceleration it would be horrible on battery but it used about as much as adw which is practically nothing.
Goes to show op, worlds most powerful phone is pretty f*cking powerful. Let the software mature, or jump ship the nexus is a great phone. Just whatever you do don't tell us

Ever since FCM came out, seems like everyone and their mothers making ROMS...
Have you noticed that the quality of ROMS gone down since the FCM release?
Do you find it annoying to seee 4 different CM9 KANG's without the ability to know which one would be best to use ?
Not saying I dont appreciate the FREE ROMS... but, I mean, seems like people are just quickly slappying together a few quick mods on someone elses ROM, renaming it.. then calling it their own.
I dont know, to me, thats not development...

Wow... just wow.
Joker's been nice enough to help port his work on the PHOTON to us Atrix users, so we have something more capable to play with until another version of CM9 comes out and you're complaining?
If you're going to bash other people's work for no reason, the least you could do is keep up as to why things are happening they way they are...
Solution: DONT FLASH IT!

I think its even worst... Isnt he implying that we shloud blame sammcrip for releasing FCM and starting this influx of ROMS? It just amazes me how ungratefull and lazzy people can be.
Thanks all the devs for all this ROMs! I can use the search feature and filter all the junk from the good stuff. UHAaaaa! Im a smart n00b.
Peace.

I don't think he is bashing anyone. He is just pointing out that once anyone with little skill or talent can put other people's "tweaks" together and produce a rom in a few clicks you forgo quality for quantity
I don't use fcm so your point is invalid, although I do thank sam for making it.

The new roms are from cm9 kangs, which fcm has nothing to do with, and rdanner's ports. Which also have nothing to do with fcm. We also have Nottach making a new rom based on 2.3.6, and marko doing the same thing. Once again, neither have any affiliation with fcm... So what's the problem with development kicking off?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Well I thought a development boom was a good thing. If you read descriptions they might say alpha build and if you think some of the newer roms aren't as high quality stick with what you know. I personally like choices and trying new things. Waiting patiently for miui to improve haven't touched cm9 probably wont until camera works. Just consider things and read what works before you flash things.

In case you don't know, joker is one of the devs compiled/posted a CM9 kang. The OP targeted the CM9 kangs among other ROMs. Look at the dev section.
Look, I apologize if my post came off as I was bashing.. I was not bashing.
Endlessevo get's where I am coming from... FCM is a great thing, I love it!
Basically, He hit the nail on the head.. It's quantity ~ Quality thing...
EXAMPLE: I see some ROMS which warrant framework changes for animation purposes, etc... The same thing can be achieved by using Rom Toolbox pro..... Change the fonts.. add a wallpaper pack, launcher, put another kernel... FCM it, give it some random name, and now you have a new ROM.
I totally agree with Dev's like nootiach (spelling?) who put little hidden boobie traps in their work so people can warrant the credit where it is due.
I guess what I am trying to get at is, I miss groundbreaking work~!!! Like, when CM was ported, or Miui.. This is some groundbreaking stuff.. Now you go to the dev. section, and you have a handful of CM9 kangs
Sorry if Im ranting... but I want to talk to someone about it... Jesus christ, if I talk to my wife about it, she'd be pissed I spend this much thought on this

Because there isn't a whole lot more to do to our phones except optimizing what we have already, and porting over android 4.0. Our dev team isn't done, but the groundbreaking work that you want is.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
BTW, I am really stoked for CM9 and the future beyond.. The work that goes into all this is difficult. Maybe deep down inside, It is me just getting bored with the hobby?
Sorry about the post, and I respect all the guys who do, do this.
I don't think you quite understand what kang means.
All unofficial cm roms are kangs, even ones that are in development to become official cm. Like mine. To become official everything major must work without breaking other phones. So if you want official cm9 someone must fix the problems. The little groundbreaking work you are wanting is the kangs. Yes the atrix team laid ground work to get cm9 ported but they stopped working on it. I was given cm9 only a few weeks ago when the photon cm dev moved to a different phone. He didn't even have cm9 up. Only cm7. I'm not making a temporary kang to satisfy ics thirst. I'm making the fixes to go official.
Also if you read up only one cm9 is current and going forward. Guess who's
Btw I don't even have an atrix, I'm blind building

Ah, good old fashioned elitism.

Quantity and quality are not mutually exclusive. that's the Apple Mentality, and its a trap.
I find in the [SIMILAR] Linux communities lots of fresh blood means a greater chance for future prodigys and dedicated devs. Give folks a chance, and practice discretion when flashing.

I did check to see if that's what he was being so butt hurt about. I figured because it was a second thought to his original rant and the fact joker defended the wrong part of the rant he knew why he was defending himself.
His complaints about the KANG's was not being able to tell the difference between them, not that they were simple tweaks turned into roms.
Long day. Plus complaining about free work equals thread
