The Fascinate Wish List

Hey everyone.
I just wanted to ask you all a question...
What is it that you wish you could have on your Fascinate?
I want you guys to list ANYTHING (aside from the obscenely ridiculous*) that you wish you could have on your phones. That includes, but is not limited to:
apps
games
lockscreens
whole roms
kernels
radios
button remappings
widgets
skins
accessories
audio/video alterations
(I will build the list as suggestions are made )
If you see someone's wish and you know of something that fits the description, POST IT! (Bonus points for links)
DEVS: I figured this could also give you guys some cool ideas all in one organized thread.
I'll also post really awesome ideas as they are created below for easy viewing.
Netflix support
Better antenna
Utilization of the camera LED in low power mode as a notification light
a how-to on better battery life
Personal ROM editor
Better gps
Full CM7
Full MIUI
Functioning TV out
More stable source code from Samsung
Virtual networks
*Having your phone turn into a lightsaber is an example of the obscenely ridiculous and most likely will not happen no matter how much you wish it.

My GPS to actually work, along with CM7 and/or MIUI (that actually support the phone's hardware).
There should be an option between 'needs a bit more' and 'hate'... such as 'I'm still not buying Samsung again'.

Functioning TV out, which from what I understand, is actually incorporated into the device pinout, but is still disabled. Some here at XDA are working on it though

+1 My GPS is good, but I definitely wish for full MIUI or CM7, that would be sweet. I also wish for better/fast updates/support from Verizon and Samsung. FAT chance.

Samsung to release properly written sources, which may lead to better functioning CM7 and MIUI. And TV-out.

I think several of you missed where he said "aside from the obscenely ridiculous"

A virtual network. What I mean by this is.
1 For the phone to act like a wireless router and let other devices connect to it.
2 let the phone itself to be on the said network. As if your attached to it via wifi (even though the virtual router would be phone based)
What this could be used for
1 control of wireless devices that use lan, with lan apps without the need of a router (ex. Pc remotes, printers, scanners)
2 ability to stream video and audio to devices like the xbox wirelessly (provided you have a wifi xbox) from your phones storage with apps like Imediashare, which atm only works over a network. So if all you have is a xbox and phone you can't watch movies..
There are lots of apps that work like this
PHONE ~~> ROUTER ~~> DEVICE
would be great if they could work like this
PHONE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~> DEVICE

I would like a app that can change the colors and icons in the dropbar and shutdown menus, customize the frame work, etc. The devs put alot of work into their roms and themes and is greatly appreciated but there always seems to be one little detail or color or icon that just doesn't fit the individuals preference.

I say fully working CM 6.2.0
CM7 is too far off, and won't ever be fully functional, save some unlikely breakthroughs or newer sources or ROMs from samsung.
CM 6.2 could be fully functional much more quickly (if not already) if development work wasn't done on CM7 instead.

Id like to see an app that can change the colors of a theme or the system with one or two clicks and all done with phone booted up.
Granted I love all the themes for our phone but one day I feel like purple, another day could be orange...so on so forth lol..

HDMI Mirroring on CM7

Not sure if CM7 had hdmi mirroring but I got portrait mirroring working by installing HDMwIn app from the market. In the app, it says it works better with a kernel made for it. I was thinking that since TeamWin has the source code for the kernel here, it could be possible to make a kernel for the Atrix and we could have full hdmi mirroring on CM7 and possibly AOSP roms.

pretty sure Portrait mirroring works in cm7 on the atrix without any apps or hacks. Landscape still does not work

portrait mirring was already in cm7 roms ROFLMAO but you got me to read this thinking that someone got landscape mirroring for cm7 which would be beast! "hint hint" to the modders its only a matter of time ( someday bro someday)

Any good solution to lapdock and CM7/9?

I was wondering if there are any good solutions out there to using the lapdock with CM7 or 9? I use it for note taking and have done full linux etc. but really all I need it for is note taking. CM7 just shows a portrait view of your phone when plugged in right? If it was landscape that would be great since then I could use Evernote's android app or something.
Anyone got any good solutions to using the lapdock with CM7?
P.S. I know just using a Blur ROM is a solution.

No, there isn't any solution at the moment. I doubt that we will even see webtop in cm7/9.

Ya I bought the phone specifically to use the lapdock so I stick to blur roms.

Well at least ics us coming but I'm worried by the time its out I will be switching carriers and they won't support the atrix because of different band they run on.

landscape HDMI mirror works now in the newest CM7 and CM9 ROMs, just FYI.

Couple of tips.
- Don't like the Market spewing new apps on your home screen? Just disable it in the settings.
- The persistant search bar can be disabled in Trebuchet's settings.
- Nova Launcher is an alternate to Trebuchet. I'm using it. It has a couple of useful features, like grid size. You can also disable widgets in the drawer, and get your standard long-press menu back. I highly recommend doing this if you use Beautiful Widgets, as that will spam up your widget drawer. Use AppWidgetPicker 2.0 pushed to /system/app to take care of this.
- Want your 4G toggle? There's a widget for it. It'll show up in the quick panel later.
Unfortunately, the voice actions are not available as of yet. Voice Search can be downloaded from the Market, but the speech-to-text as demonstrated on the GNexus is nowhere to be seen. It's an upstream issue.

I haven't explored VVM yet, but will post when I've got something. EDIT: As of right now, VVM is just plain not happening. I switched to Google Voice, which works well at the moment.

I love it. It doesn't feel like an alpha. The only feature I hate is that the cancel and ok buttons have switched so the cancel button is now on the left side and ok is on the right side. I keep cancelling when I think I'm pressing ok because I'm used to the other way.
Not that I won't get used to it.

I think the whole launch was beautifully executed, the only thing keeping me from staying on CM9 at the moment is that I cant restore the data from my apps.

The soft keyboard is a pain and I can't figure out how to set a static IP for wifi. Battery percentage doesn't work. I like how the LED notifications are fixed and how haptic feedback is back and working way better. The ROM overall is very fast. I backed up all my apps and contacts/SMS with mybackup pro and everything works perfect! Has anybody figured out how to get visual voicemail working?

Can we get swype to work (does it work now? Why haven't I tried before asking this question smh) ?

i have been running it for an hour and I like it so far but It can't be daily driver at the moment..
Most of my favorite games don't work or freeze (my biggest complaint)
asphalt 6 crashes
blood and glory doesnt work
deadspace doesnt work well due to the multi touch issue
street fighter IV crashes
few lags, but the rom is really smooth
camera recording issue (already noted by cm) and few minor bugs (like showing battery percentage in status bar doesn't show) and a few fc's here and there..
I haven't used the GPS for a while but it fine so far.
The CM team is amazing for the awesome rom (cm7 as well) and I am loving it so far...i am definitely donating
I think this rom is more a beta because it only has a few quirks to work out imo

You don't need swype beta. Just download one of the themed swypes in the apps section and flash it. Just make sure you mount system in CWM and unmount when you're done.

Would someone who has it installed report about what happens when you put it in a dock?
ie. does it redirect sound, is the sound good? (for example it has full audio range and bass)

How have roms advanced? opengl hardware acel . etc

I got a nook color when they came out and put cm7 on it, but last year I got a n7 and have been using that since. I was curious how roms have come along for the nook color. Well, really the kernel. Last year I remember there were issues with hardware accelerated ui, hardware video playback etc.
Has there been development on that since last year? It's hard to determine if these are still issues in current roms looking at their long threads.

Most OP's will explain any issues. We have official CM 10/.1. All versions of Paranoid Android. Some CM7 variants. We're just missing MIUI, and PAC. Also HWA works just fine now.

Don't forget that 720p video now works, it didn't before on the cm7 rom.
All that we need now is usb host mode working.

Is the 720p up and working for cm 7.2 by any chance? I just installed the Mirage version of cm 7.2 but I'm away from my tablet and haven't checked it yet. It's been collecting dust for a couple years now, but if the hardware acceleration is there that would really help it get more use in my house.

If you want something new, try Chameleon OS 4.2.2
