Hi all,
Ive just got a an Atrix and I muct say i quite like the stock rom. Ive played around with and got into custom roms on my last phone (LG optimus 2x), I was going to immediately d othe same with this one but i actually like stock rom whereas I hated the lg stock.
Anyway after some time i might change but for now im ok, i bought the phone in china and it came already rooted, its a French retail version.
So my question is there some way to improve the motoblur widgets? The clock and calender widget doesnt update with time and date.
Also do the current custom ROMS have working fingerprint readers?
thanks.
first of all, welcome.
to your first question regarding Widgets, I honestly do not know.
as far as ROMs, there's a sticky about atrix noobs that you should read. includes all the ROMs and those threads show what works and what doesn't.
enjoy.

Ok everyone, I have never posted before but I have been around for a little while (still consider myself noobish though)
I have been doing tons of research since the official rom upgrade has come out. I have to admit though I am more confused then ever.
Here is my problem, my wife and I both have the titan. About a mouth ago I upgraded both of ours to the dcd 2.1.0 (12/05/07) to unlock the gps and get rid of the sprint crap. I have to admit I fell in love with this version. Last night I installed the official htc 3.35.651.2 rom on my phone...I am NOT in love with it. Last night and all day today I have been searching for a replacement. Here is the source of my problem. There is so much development and creativity that people put into these phones (and the titan in particular) but is there no central place to compare and rate different roms? I was hoping to find a page that listed the top roms and the differences between them (and the official ones) but that does not seem to exist. There are several roms out there that look promising but sort of spending the rest of the day loading and testing them all I am at a loss.
If anyone knows of a great site or page that does what I have been looking for please let me know. If anyone has a suggestion to which rom I should go with I welcome your input. To that end, below are a few of the things I loved about the dcd version.
1) no extra sprint crap programs
2) working task manager (I just dont like the one on the official rom)
3) text messaging in a chat window set up. Unlike the email like set up in the official versions (I dont know if that makes sense)
4)Full Comm Manager (included more options)
Last item I would like to bring up, much has been made of EV-DO Rev.A. Do any of the custom roms incorporate this? It in its self is not a deal breaker for me, after testing load times on my phone vs my wife’s...Im not impressed but I would like it if possible.
Thanks everyone in advance. I have never posed before because I could always just find the answer if I looked long enough but in this case there is just way to much stuff out there...the curse and blessing of owning a titan
Thanks again

So far the only rom's for the Titan I know of is DCDs, Keys and NexsHybrid. Rev.A is not incorporated into the roms itself, but the radio. as long as you have the radio 3.35 you are fine. since you are a fan of dcd, i would suggest you try his new 3.0.1 rom. since you already upgraded with the official sprint rom, you have the new 3.35 radio (assuming) and all you need to do is flash a new rom on top of that.

Hi, I recently purchased a HTC Dream (aka G1) and am looking to replace the stock ROM with a more snappy and stable third party one (it has been rooted already). What currently is the best replacement ROM in terms of speed and stability?
Thanks in advance
~fatty~
It's a matter of opinion, try them all and find what you like.
There has been TONS of threads opened up JUST like this. Do research, read ROM threads in the development section for user feedback to compare, and just flash away.
I personally use SuperD which a lot of people love. But in cases of wanting a solid ROM I recommend trying Cyanogen, his work is often built upon by other devs for their own custom ROMs and he doesn't release a bunch of little updates that make you have to flash every 3 days so its nice.
Hello Guys
It has just arrived the Iconia I ordered, this my first non chinesse tablet. And Id like to juicy it the most. BUt I have doubts and I hop eyou can help me.
THe device says it has an update, currently is running Android 3.01. SHould I go to the stock update? Or would be preferable to go with a custom rom.
I've been reading that stock rom makes the table a little unstable and that the Lightspeed ROM is one of the best by now, but Im not sure what to pick or if there's other ROM stable, so I ask before doing something I might regret later.
I will use the tablet as a regular guy plus I want to stream videos from my PC.
Thank you for reading this.
I got mine around January. Then ICS wasn't an option, but I remember it being somewhat sluggish. After the ICS update I was happy at the speed increase but it still came in a distant second to just using my laptop. About a week ago I finally installed a custom ROM (reflexxx). Since then I've barely turned on my laptop and the responsiveness continues to impress me. I can't imagine jelly bean or a tegra 3 being much faster. Granted, I really only browse the web, email, and a few news apps. Upgrading to a custom ROM was the best thing to happen to my a500. I can't speak for the lightspeed ROM, but if its anything like reflexxx, you will be much happier with it them stock.
is this th eone youare talking?

Dear Anthony, something I dont understand of your post is:
if you actually did first the stock update to ICS and then to reflex. Am I right?

yes and yes. Mostly because that was just the natural order of things, but, and dont quote me on this, I think it will be easiest for you to do the same. Honeycomb has different bootloaders and things. Upgrading to stock ICS first, I believe, will make going to a ICS ROM slightly easier and remove a step or two.
Provided you read the directions, I really can't see how you'd be upset with a custom ROM. I used afterOTA to unlock my bootloader, then installed the ROM using the standard CWM method.
THank you so much for your help sir Anthony
One more thing: Did you used the Reflex or FLEXREAPER-RELIX_rev5 ANDROID 4.0.3 ?

I went with reflexxx, only because its based on 4.0.4, and I'm of the stupid consumer mindset that newer us always better.

Run stock ics absolute ota no root. See how good it is. Then when you change roms you can see what it screwed up.
Dropped my S4 in the toilet yesterday and got this beast today, the red one, magnificent phone.
Much better stock rom than the S4, faster and just simple, as it should be.
So what i wonder is, what can i expect from this phone if i start customizing it, because its hard to believe it can get any better.
I dont know if its necessary to change the kernel either, it seems like it has great batterylife.
So my real question as a new owner of this beast is, can it, and if yes, how can i make it better?
Cheers!
I am preety sure you are quite late to the party and all your answers can be found via a search (kernals , roms, battery-life). you might find a beast too in search.
That S4 belongs in the toilet I sold mine about 4 months ago and got the stealth black HTC One and as you have said its a great phone out of the box but there are also many nice things that you can do. For example you can flash a custom kernel to enable the HTC logo to act as unlock/lock button; I set mine to unlock if I double tap it and lock if I tap and hold, you can also set it to unlock when you swipe it etc...
You can also flash google edition ROM if you like the stock android look (even though sense is really nice too) and its much more stable than any aosp ROM out there and android kitkat will be released for google edition devices soon so if you want the latest android version just wait until its released and flash it!
And congratulations on your new phone, you are going to love it!

Im still running stock 4.2.2 from Rogers on my D803 but the fact that Im basically 3 versions back on a brand new phone has been crawling under my skin since the day I bought it (4 days ago)
I was wondering if its worth it yet to root tho? I do really love the features this phone was built with, like the quick remote especially, since I already have it all programed for all my TV's and Cogeco boxes in my home.
Im basically wanting to know what we lose going to the custom roms made by guys like Heustonn, or if everything is more or less functional?
Word on the street is LG will have the official Kit Kat by March, so should I just tough it out, or should I just go for it?
I also have TONNES of experience with flashing. Ive been rooting since my old HTC Hero, and I also had the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus, so its not a confidence thing, its just more a feature thing since Ive found some of the LG stuff to be really cool so far!
Thanks
KitKat isn't due out for the G2 until some time in the 1st quarter of next year, so why not try out some different ROMs while you're waiting? You can always flash the original firmware if you want / need to go back to stock, which will remove the root status and reinstall the stock recovery.
4.2.2 has more features then 4.4 lol

QuickRemote has been ported to all AOSP roms. You can find it in the themes and apps section.

You can get QuickRemote and LG Camera for AOSP based 4.4 roms, and if you don't like LG's skin I would definitely recommend trying out one of the many awesome custom roms here!
2nd day I rooted and flashed to gummy 4.4. Love it. Kit Kat is slick
