Gladiatrix if you want to rid the blur or Gingerblur/Gingergrey to rid the blur and have a prebuilt themes. Webtop hack and so on.

Go to the market and check top free apps and pretty much DL all of them.
I'd say that the top 5 make android better then iphone. Those apps, ota, and the notification bar are my fave things about android. The screen, battery, and speed are my favorite things about the atrix specifically
Welcome to warp speed!

Thanks for the heads up. I really like playing with this launcher. I was actually able to convince a coworker I managed to hack the samsung focus wp7 rom onto my epic on april 1st. It worked right up until he saw the android market icon
Thanks for that man, i didnt know

I played w/ it for a little bit and felt that it wasn't very customizable and if THATS how WP7 is, boy is microsoft in for some pain.. hell, the iPhone is more customizable than WP7 appears to be (if this launcher closely mimics the customizability of WP7 very well)

Dear Root Gods

Dear Mr Root.
Please hear our prayers to root our Gingerbread devices!! Everyone knows that stock rom's are just plain old boring, and no fun at all. We need something to play with and break We wake up each morning, just hoping for that 'miracle' on XDA.

No, it is for general information about the evo, not to start a thread about praying for root. What does this post provide? Nothing.

Look you guys none of you know how to even start with rooting the htc Evo so don't go all like I can't believe there's no root yet.

I am done waiting, I returned my phone for my MoPho (Mototola Photon 4G), and have rooted it WebTopless, (without a dock). Also, I hate the fact that the phone has such little internal storage, and I do miss Sense, but I have a Sense Launcher. I have a Front Facing Camera, and a kickstand.
I have an Otterbox Defender Case/Holster and now I have to mod it and add dust filters for the two microphones...

Photon 4g

Ive hated motorola since I had the abomination that was the rokr. theyre phones have always screwed me over sooner or later on the software side, but this phone is calling to me.. its nice.. idk I think there's something wrong with me. I wouldnt get it over the gs2... but id definitely consider it. What do you guys think?
Hey I dont like motorola also!! But the photon looks like it kicks ass. i would consider it but my upgrades not till may and they're gonna have a better phone by then...

That statement right there means you need to go into a store and play with one. It has a ton of features built in.
@OP: I share your exact same sentiment. I'm waiting for the within, and I hate motorola, but this phone is definitely enticing me. I feel like I'm under some sort of spell lol. The webtop alone is enough for me to consider it. It would be so nice to just throw it on the dock when I get home and fire up netflix or hulu. And have all my texts come through my tv. Ugh...its so tempting.

They say it is Moto Blur that causes the Motorola devices to be laggy. Which is 100% true. Look at the Atrix

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
MOTO has always had horrible UI's. That was true even for their basic flip phones. I had the MOTO KRKZR years ago with Sprint... and the lag was awful.

New market version

I just felt like complaining a little and wanted to know if anyone else is annoyed with the new version of the market. The ui took a little getting use to, but my biggest complaint is how screwed up the reviews of apps are. The most recent are not at the top like they use to be. Now its a mix of anything from a week to a year old. We can't make a decision about an app based on reviews of versions that are outdated. Sorry, just had to vent.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Nope I love it, it's the bees knees.. :-*
Sent From DEEZ
I hate the fact that it will show an update is available for the app however, unless you have multiple and can therefore click "update all", you have to wait at least an hour or two to select update.
Indeed. The reviews are the only thing I'm not liking. It doesn't even make sense. I like checking the mentions when an app gets an update and this totally kills it. There is no structure / reason to it.

Not impressed too much by it.
They must've fixed the reviews, now I see the most recent ones first and in order

It's fine; I have no issues with the new market and like the look better than the old market. Other than that, it is the venue through which I get apps on my phone so in that respect it has not changed for me.

You don't need to be rooted. Just put it on your SD card and use a file manager to install it.

Thinking of getting atrix

Hi all. Im coming up on time to get a new phone and thinking about the ATRIX to replace my FLIPSIDE. Any of your experiences would be great to hear. Im not a social networker, not interested in getting email on my phone, occasionally go on the web. My main questions are, is the ATRIX easily rooted? How is 2.3 on it? What about battery life? Im mainly playing games, txtn and occasional phone calls. Thanx for any insight.
Sent from my MB508 using XDA App
If you're smart, the ATRIX is easily rooted, has great battery life, and is a great phone. Highly recommend it. You may hear battery life is bad, but that is completely user dependent. I promise you. Best of luck!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
the Atrix is a pretty good choice for a gaming phone, it's Tegra 2 runs any game i've tried on it extremely smooth.
rooting is as easy as injecting a preinstall image with fastboot then a few simple commands in ADB.
i got my Atrix about two months ago, and i've been extremely satisfied so far. with the recently unlocked bootloader there has been a lot of cool development going on as well, even if not quite as much as other phones. we're getting a port of CM7 as well, which is already pretty stable if you ask me. after the kinks are worked out with HDMI mirroring, IMO it'll be one of the top gaming phones on the market.

Im forrest gump as smarts go, lol. I've been using superoneclick for my previous BACKFLIP and this FLIPSIDE. Will that work for the ATRIX? I don't do running codes well at all. I work with shell commands a little with my BACKFLIP, but seemed a little complicated for my simple mind. ;-) tia
Sent from my MB508 using XDA App
If you want to unlock the boot loader, you'll need to dabble in the shell, a bit, nothing too tough.
It's worth it for CM7
Im not the most tech savvy person here but I can assure you, if can you follow directions, you're golden.
As for the phone itself, it's a beast phone. You have the same habits/usage for mobile activities as I do but I do social networking. You can't ask for a more perfect phone. Phone call quality are middle of the pack though.

Obviously, all of us here are biased in their opinions towards the Atrix.
Personally, I would only maybe want one phone isntead of the Atrix - SGSII, can't give a definite "yes" though.
have it on my third one hate it! random reboots all the time, horrible battery life, broken version of android. what frustrates me the most is they seem to have an inability to build an android phone that simply works good battery life, beautiful ui, logical functionality not useless apps. i thought this phone would save android for me. i hate having to hack my phone to make it work correctly. i just want it too work! just get an ios device they work.
It's the best smart phone out there for now
power-wise
form factor-wise
screen-wise

Maybe you might want to start with Froyo for a while on the Atrix. Rooting with Gingerbreak on Froyo is just as easy as SOC.
Then you can read about unlocking and take it to the next level with Gingerbread when you are ready...

IMO....its the best phone available. SGS2 the other option....but I think its a tossup between the 2. Its all preference ....rooting is simple, don't do superoneclick because of busybox.

Got mine a few weeks ago. Had it unlocked, rooted, and running alien #4 within 30 minutes. I get 30+ hours of battery life with heavy use and gaming. Games are awesome on the atrix, as well as just about everything out there. Watching high quality youtube videos is fast and looks great.
