Call me crazy... but I actually prefer the screen rotation from 2.1. With Froyo I feel like I'm fighting with it all the time. Is there anyway to bring it back to only one way rotation like before? I noticed if you disable it in the settings it disables it completely!
Sent from my Droid Incredible using Tapatalk
I noticed that too when I was running Froyo. It flips more that a fish out of water. I found a temporary solution... run 2.1 (ha). I suppose its a glitch in the way the software was written and probably could be fixed by the developer. If enough people complain maybe they will amend it.
Personal, I like the 270 degree rotation and can deal with the hypersensitivity for now.

I bought one. I love it. Do not want Ipad, I want to stay with Android and will.
However - the scrolling is not smooth, there is no denying that. Is there a way to fix this?
I remember when I first got my Evo I had to root and put in a kernel that increased FPS. Is there an option for that yet?
Thanks.
My scrolling is smooth - i am overclocked, have been since the first 5 minutes of taking it out of the box.
I thought that I read we didn't have a cap on the FPS.
Use a new launcher like launcher pro
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok. I'll try the LauncherPro when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion.
Did you get some choppiness before you switched launchers? Or before you OCed?
The stock launcher is very laggy... if you use launcher pro you can set how fast the menus open. Get spare parts out of the market and you can configure how fast either things open too

The stock launcher is perfect. Really no need for a new launcher. I did experience some lagging but have to say that once I overclocked my XOOM it runs smooth as butter.

No and now I'm worried that my Xoom is different than other peoples'!
Maybe my best bet is to upload a quick video of it. If I can even figure out how to do that.

This is going to sound really stupid, but make sure it's right side up, in landscape orientation.
All other orientations are far less smooth (on the homescreen at least). Even 180 degree landscape is horrible. Only the standard orientation, with the Motorola logo in the top left, works well.

"SetCPU" to over-clock it and "VM Heap Tool" to increase the heap to above 32 (i set mine to the max(48?)). After that, my stock launcher is smooth as butter in any orientation.

Mine lags abit, so i take it I will have to root the xoom ? for increasing cpu?
Yes, you will need to root the Xoom. You can get the one-click root over on the Development side of this forum.
That is just retarded... in order to have my xoom running smooth and how it should, I have to root. Does that make sense to anyone.
This is not exceptable... FAIL
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
The only time I found it not running smooth(before I rooted) is if i dragged my finger across the screen to scroll. If i just tapped the side, it was crisp.
Xoom or Doom!!!!
i guess it is all comes down to personal preference. cuz my Xoom is pretty smooth and i am running stock. i don't think anyone has a Super Xoom or a Doom Xoom. it is the same hardware, just that some people see fast different. get a thunderbolt if you wanna be super fast. or take the risk and overclok (something i'll never do), cuz there is obviously a risk factor to it. low battery for one, i won't be trading battery power for speed anytime soon. and then you xoom might not have a long life. it might be fast now, but we all watch nascar and see what happens when you go too fast, you CRASH!!!!. and within a year you could end you with a Doom Xoom. (dead Xoom).
cuz if this thing was safe to be overclock, i have said in other thread, uncle Moto would have been the one to do it, and would have brag and claim that they have the fastest tablet on the market @ 1.5Ghz. we all know it can be push even further. but with the cons, i won;t take my chances. i don;t need the nano second it will take to load an app, am fine with the extra second it will take me to load a web page. and scrolling is normal as it has been since i got mine. plus others have tried launcher pro and experience better. but do what you feel, just don;t come back crying foul about how you tablet didn;t last, and try to blame motorola for your fault.
How high are y'all overclocking? Hows the battery life?

Just went from Evo > Nexus S 4g, and here are my brief notes.
-Nexus is faster, but not by much.
-Nexus screen makes the Evo's look washed out and soft by comparison. The Nexus has amazing blacks, which really makes a big difference in terms of clarity, apparent sharpness. (though the Nexus colors often look too saturated)
-Speaker sounds a lot better (playing music) It has more bass and generally sounds less tinny
-call quality is good. Loud and clear.
-The nexus is only a few days old, but thus far, the battery is not longer lasting than the Evo's. Hopefully that will improve after a couple weeks.
-screen seems slightly less responsive than the Evo's - resulting in an occational missed press. Overall it is very good though.
-on the down side, the screen does have a yellow/green tint (especially in the whites), and it bothers me.
-in terms of being more pocketable, in practive the 1.5oz weight difference is barely noticable, and the Evo seems more secure in the hand (robably because it has better texture on the back, and because of the extra weight.) So far the Nexus feels a little fragile and almost too light (thankfully though, it does not feel "hollow" like the Epic does.)
So far, I am not sure if I am going to keep the Nexus (purchased off of Craigslist for $350) or use my upgrade for the Evo 3D when it comes out. I am not leaing toward the new Evo - expecually since it will (hopefully) have improved battery performance, and that amazing new screen.
Stay tuned...
I have to disagree on the nexus speaker being louder than the Evo's..... Evo sounds much louder. Agree Evo screen is more responsive, despite colors being a little saturated nexus screen looks much better than the evo's. Also the nexus keyboard is very laggy when texting, I am using smart keyboard now.

Now that you mentioned it, that is the other thing I noticed is that pinch-to-zoom is horrendous on the Nexus. I use dolphin so I haven't compared stock-stock browser but yes, the Nexus browser disappointed me in the PTZ feature.

yeah, there is a few things that I'm not feeling about this nexus. Is there any way to bypass the 160 characters for text messaging?

My Nexus does NOT reflow the text properly after pinch-zoom, so you are stuck either panning back and forth, or using the + and - buttons.
As to the showing the status bar when needed on the Evo browser, simply pressing menu does the trick.

Evo browser relies on Sense framework, so it's a no go.
In theory possible, but no one has ever done any sort of Sense ports for a portion, only of the entire ROM.
I think there was a Sense Nexus S port, so it might be available later.
I'm in the stock browser camp, but understand how some might prefer the Sense browser. HTC knows how to make people keep buying their phones instead of switching manufacturers.
Nexus > Evo
As a follow-up:
Nexus issues:
-Build quality is no where near as good as the EVO (feels light weight and flimsy without a case, and with a case it does not feel any lighter, or much smaller than the Evo.)
-Nexus has terribly slow charging. Seriously it seems to take 5 or 6 hours to charge completely. Ouch.
-Nexus battery drains very fast (though I have only charged it maybe 15 times total, so maybe it will get better.) But this morning I went from 100% to 60% in two hours of light use (and no calls)!
-Nexus screen misses key strokes very often! It is simply less sensitive than the EVO and many times I need to re-press keys. Very annoying.
-The green/yellow screen is very annoying
-After making a few days of calls on the Nexus, the Evo has better call quality, and the speaker sounds clearer during calls. (thought the Nexus sounds better for music playback through the speaker phone)
-I miss the screen real estate - the larger type on the Evo (though less contrasty) is just easier to read.
So...the Nexus is now for sale. And I will be using my upgrade for the Evo 3d.
I am a serial ROM junkie BUT I am still in the sidelines on this one. Having read through most of the posts I still can't see what going to the beta Gingerbread achieves. Does it do anything better than the stock 2.2 which is so stable?
Sent from my MB860i using XDA App
I feel the same way. My atrix is my only phone so I will just watch here with interest but wait for Motorola to do it's thing....I hope.
Of course it is fun to play with, but I have gone back to 1.83. It is my only phone and the rom made for Hong Kong phones is just to buggy for every day use IMHO. They have made great progress in removing a lot of the bugs, but it is just not ready for prime time yet. If I had a backup phone I would be all over it, but as it will be coming soon I believe. I can wait.
It's been my daily driver since day one and no real complaints especially with navalynt's fixes and eye candies rolled into a flashable zip. There's a few things it does that I like. Music beta, portrait to landscape animation, crt animation when locking, etc. Fingerprint scanner is all I'm lacking and I know its just a matter of time. Don't blame ya for holding off, but as a fellow junkie I am a bit surprised =D

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've been using 2.3.4 since it was released here with tutorials on how to install. I used _unknown's method. I have seen no real benefits, other than having an unlocked bootloader and a recovery I can boot into anytime I want. However IMO it is stable enough to use daily... battery life is about the same, and my phones been on with no restarts for a little over 48 hrs. The only way to appreciate all the work these devs have been doing is to try it out yourself
And I would like to thank xda for hosting a forum with an endless amount of useful knowledge for all the smart phones I've had in the last 2-3 years.

I use it just to educate myself on the new fastboot stuff and try things out, get familiar with new layouts, etc. Education, experimentation. Seems like the wrong place to hang out if you're not into those things.

Just want to know, is any of the software improved / faster or better?

Speed test wise is a bit better but this thing is such a beast its hard to see it. Camera app had a real overhaul and I love it! Battery, like above poster , seems the same. Software being gingerbread is more about cosmetics and I'm very happy in that regard ... it's pretty sexy I'm back to using launcher pro + for now but the moto-blur UI looks great. So good in fact I just started using LP+ recently. That's a big statement being as I slapped gingerblur P-ROM on the day I purchased the ATRIX!

Pretty much this for me, if they get the fingerprint scanner working I'll be a happy camper
the only bug i have noticied with the phone is that the FP scanner doesn't work, and the FFC appears sideways (but is normal when videochatting to the person on the other end).
the build is noticeably faster and smoother for me for animations, especially the 3d-cube and cylindrical app transitions on Go Launcher EX. the screen transitions for open-close and vertical-horizontal are pretty nice too since froyo lacks them. once i installed all the 'fixes' that devs have come up with, i see no reason to go back to Froyo, as I can live without the FP scanner for now, and videochatting with the FFC is fine. oh yeah, and i freakin LOVE the CRT shutoff animation.
oh yeah, and the new battery use meter system is pretty freakin' cool.
I moved back to 2.2.1 from 2.3.4 since I had horrible battery life on the HKTW 2.3.4 beta build! Other than that, I have to say it is way faster and smoother than 2.2.1!
speed, battery life, those were arbitrarily the same for me..
two of my fav noticeable improvements are:
1.) ability to clear notifications from your bar one by one instead of having to clear them all.
2.) being able to boot straight into CWM w/o a charger
3.) finally fixed the slow market download speeds!!!
2.3.4 is insanely fast compared to stock. Once you take the tome to fix the small bugs it's a really good everyday rom.
On 2.3.4 I get almost the same battery life with push email and no battery conservation as I did in 2.2.2 with everything turned off. There is no wakeup lag or random pauses like before. At first it seemed like it drained battery but After a couple days when my battery had calibrated itself this were normal.
So far the only bugs I have are the funky front facing camera and I can't sync my exchange account.nmy phone no longer heats up as much as before.
I am running launcher pro and havent disable blur yet and it's super fast. For comparison 2.2.2 with launcher pro and no blur was still slow.
It's completely changed my views of the Atrix, except for the screen.

No Exchange syncing = one less push email account. That's probably why battery life seems the same for you. Mine is noticeably worse.
Unless you didn't use Exchange push in 2.2.2, in which case forget this post.

Right now my battery is 10% lower at the end of my work night following my same usage habits. 2.3.4 seems to be much more efficient with memory management as well.
I can do without fingerprint scanner and the front facing camera, this ROM is definitely better than 2.2 froyo. Now I feel like I own a dual core phone.I am unlocked and can't wait to flash an American optimized ROM!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
So I installed it yesterday (and thanks to all those who helped).
I think the new ROM is FANTASTIC. Everything works for me, its faster than before and I have no lags. Im using Launcher Pro because the new Blur doesn't support scrolling widgets.
Battery is definitely better (turned on at 6am and had 15% at 6pn which us amazing for me).
Camera has been improved. Pictures look sharper and the colors no longer look weird. I owned an sgs2 and to me the pictures are just as good (and definitely better than the Sensation I owned for a bit). Its also much faster (put it in sport mode and virtually immediate).
Fingerprint reader works. Properly. Period.
Sound on speaker is excellent. Its still the best device on the market.
Sound on earpiece might be a little quieter. I am not certain on this but its something I noticed on my first call.
Gps lock is very quick. It was before too.
Software. Wow what a MASSIVE improvement. Email software is finally useable readable and possibly as good as Sense. Widgets are also better, like weather. Photo software and gallery better. MUSIC is a different application totally. I think I preferred the old one or just need to get used to it. Dialer is improved. Video playback is still great and again an area where this device excels over others I have owned. Animations also very cool. Top bar and notifications simply better than before. Entire color scheme is improved.
Stock keyboard is better but I still make a lot of mistakes when typing. HTC still make the best Android keyboard IMHO and I wish I could port the Sensation keyboard.
Overall its just more elegant and mire pleasurable ti use. For the first time I feel like its a device to show off. I really believe its the best device out there. Had Moto started out with this ROM it would have been considered a device as good as the HD2 in its day.

After one day on gingerbread, I'd have to say the keyboard's the biggest improvement for me. An @ key without having to press alt first? Yes! Long press keys for numbers? Yes!
I agree. It's a fantastic upgrade and the new skin is slick....my only complaint is that homescreen scrolling isn't as fast as I expected. The forest LWP is a little slow, and pinch to zoom on stock camera gallery isn't as good as my previous phone or 3rd party market apps

I freakin love the new ROM. Thanks KP!
They have made a smart move by selecting a color scheme that greatly reduces the effect of the inherent technical limitations of a Pentile LCD! Its better than Froyo but I guess only because of the color scheme they have decided to go with!

Even if the color scheme didnt change its 10 times better. Im tired of the complaints about the phone, go get a different one and/or dont complain about this one. We dont care to hear it.
Loving the new rom so far. I do think the cardock app got worse (looks better, but fewer custom buttons). I love how you can uninstall apps using a long press from the app drawer.
I'm also looking forward to trying the ignore call, respond with text option.
Last thing, wish the default music app worked with Google Music Beta... installed the Google one instead.

Overall, this seems to be working pretty fantastically for me except for a few things.
- Contact List can get REALLY slow sometimes. (15 seconds to load up a contact's information!)
- Unlocking (the screen, not the phone) can get slow, as well as Facebook and a few other apps. Haven't fully tested yet.
Is this happening to anyone else?
So far, i'm loving the new blur, everything is working fine for me.but i hope this is not the final blur version, because i was watching a demo of blur for droid3 on youtube it looks a little bit better then this. The swipe between screens was different and the quick contact widget was different and more useful.
