I will be receiving my new mytouch 4g this thurs. I have been bouncing around with different phones in the past two months. My last three phones were the G2, Nexus S, and most recently the Inspire.
What can I expect coming to this side? What are the most sought after roms kernels? The phone im getting is already rooted with s off and all that so I guess the easy part is done :+}

I give all my phones a trial period. Its pretty much when im done hacking till I cant hack no more or till I get simply bored. But I always wanted to try a a mytouch but never got around to it.

Didn't see that you were already rooted! In that case, TeamRoyal and Faux pretty much own the MT4G dev section. So anything from them is good, and of course the good ol CM7.

I see. Team Royal has 90% of the roms. I guess I will have a busy day when it comes. I think I downloaded 8 roms. Lol

CM7 > all other ROMs.
RoyalMint is my daily driver since it came out. Team Royal specifically Option94 has been really working hard on it. Not saying they dont work hard on any other of their ROMs.

Thats what i might try first. Its like no matter where i go whether its youtube or somewhere someone has TeamRoyal. it must take the mytouch to another level
So I decided to breach into the android type of phone, I'm coming from a WM 6.5 Imagio with Verizon Wireless. One of the draw backs of my last phone was it's popularity and lack of community support for it so I don't want to make the same mistake again. So what phone can anyone suggest to me that is basically powerful, good screen, no keyboard, android and very popular?
Thunderbolt?

Thunderbolt has good development and fits the parameters you mentioned. Verizon should have some new phones in the next month but who knows how they will be as far as dev support.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The Thunderbolt is a really well put together phone with awesome speed and a lot of support. If you want to wait a little longer, look into the Droid Incredible 2 or the Droid Bionic.
I went an took a look at the Thunderbolt and loved the phone right away, I'm now the proud owner of one, thank you guys!
So a coworker of mine recently joined the Android family from a 3gs, but is actually considering going back because he can't get netflix. Is there a work around for a non rooted phone or an eta on when/ if it will be officially released?

There prolly won't be an official way to get it until/unless we get the gingerbread update. Works great on Virtuous Unity, though.

Any of the latest GB ROMs for DesireHD that have hit the streets lately like the Asian WWE, Telus or the Australian one from a week or so ago (or custom ROMs based on these) will work using the libstagefrighthw.so file from the Pyramid Sense 3.0 ROM (which is what the Virtuous Unity ROM is based on so you can copy from that). Hopefully HTC will have an updated lib file before the US 2.3.3 release, but I'm not holding my breath.
So, short answer: your friend will probably go back to iPhone. Ask him how much to buy his Inspire.
hey check this out i use it and it works great http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14333706&postcount=238
He is still in the first week so he'll probably just swap it for the iPhone. It's a shame though been working hard to get all of my coworkers on Android. What's the word on GB I would assume its an ATT problem considering this phone is an upgrade from the EVO.

sorry try this one it has the up date its on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk is Netflix 1.2.2 (Released 6/15/11)
No he's not rooted and I doubt he plans on rooting it.

I read some where on here that the Inspire is allegedly going to be one of the next phones to get an official release from Netflix. But for now you have to be rooted.
Ugh this is such a hard decision but I'm honestly so tired of my atrix. Development...yeah right. Basically dead. Really wants to make me switch phones. I got offered an inspire on Craigslist and I tested one out at the att store. Top 3 for me would be inspire, sgs2, and infuse but I haven't gotten any sgs2 or infuse offers sso I'm thinking about taking up this inspire offer. Any atrix converts over here? Heard the inspire is laggy and bbattery life isn't all that great but everything seemed pretty nice to me at the att store. Can I get any input of previous atrix owners? Is it worth the switch?

Not an Atrix convert,but I can tell you there are a lot of great devs here. I find myself changing roms once or twice a month. Just cause it is cool to see something different.

yeah atrixs devs have been mia...how about the performance of the inspire on a rom? (cm7/miui)?
Inspire custom roms are amazing. Great battery life on almost all roms I had tried and performance as well. Personally, miui, android revolution, and coredroid are my top 3 best choice. I am currently on Android revolution. Switching back and forth at times to feel the greatness from those three roms.

sweeet. really excited to make the switch. you guys seem really friendly too. the atrix forums just a mess. don't get me wrong there are some really good devs! just not enough and too much bickering and arguing from everyone

The Inspire is definitely a great device. Second best on the market imo (behind the GS2, which I also use). I've owned the Inspire longer than any other device I've ever owned. You'll be good with the Inspire for a while. I found development support to be awesome. I can't even part ways with my Inspire, even though it's not my main device right now. I'm still using it as I would a tablet (wifi browsing, games, updating Google Calendar events, etc.).
As P00t said, Inspire and DesireHD roms are amazing. My top three would be Android Revolution, CoreDroid and CM7, though I haven't tried MIUI because I used to have an iPhone and that is what the screenshots reminded me of. Mike and his ARHD team do an amazing job of answering questions or pointing you in the right direction. Sergio and his CoreDroid team has an amazing website and layout to answer any questions. Sigurd_LU has an amazing theme that works flawlessly with ARHD and should work on other Sense roms.

Not a atrix owner but members in DesireHD/Inspire 4g are really great. I love all the roms which the devs have cooked. Keeps me sane

Where do people keep hearing that the inspire is laggy. This is not the first time I have read this. Even on stock gingerbread the inspire is smooth. Throw a custom rom on it and run adrenaline tweak and you got solid goodness.

I AM an Atrix convert and i have to say i don't think i will be replacing/upgrading my Inspire for quite a while. The Atrix just ended up being to darn small and had a cheap feeling because of the plastic that was used. The dual core support is more non existent than it should be as well.
The roms for the Inspire are great - for me i love MIUI (a little slow at times), Virtuous Unity 2.39 (smooth and includes Sense), and Cyanogenmod 7 ( smooth and you have a TON of customizations).
Not to mention the Inspire forum has the best contributors i have had the privilege to receive advice from.
In short, go with the Inspire you will be happy that you did.
+1 on Get the Inspire!
The phone itself is great (physically) and with all the roms and apps, you can't go wrong! For sense rom Rcmix Runny is just wow. I'm now running with Stardroid Ranger (based on CM7) - AOSP (my first) and loving it.
Inspire for sure! Top 3 for me are MIUI, Virtous Unity & Gingerbeast. Awesome device

I am an atrix convert, and I don't regret letting it go at all. The atrix devs would make a rom and never update them and everything was just themed stock roms. IMO inspire is the place to be, sure it's not dual core but nothing is utilizing a dual core processor, besides the inspire is plenty fast with quadrant scores around 2500. Atrix qhd screen was so pixilated and the inspires screen is pretty vivid not to super amoled standards but still alot better than qhd. Every time you look in the inspire development section you find something new or updated. Inspire is the way to go. On paper it wouldn't seem like it but just from everyday use it blows the atrix out of the water.

I had an Atrix. "HD" screen sucked, camera sucked, it just sucked.
Inspire has amazing screen and camera! I'm usually using MIUI 75% of the time and CM7 the other 25%.
Returning the Atrix for this was VERY wise

one of the best roms for incredible s comes from this man nikhil007mmus we want to have ICS or JB in our inspire 4g
if we get some money together and send him an inspire 4g he will work on it and get it ready to be used in no time, the rom is almost ready to be on th einspire but it needs just a little of work and a device to be able to make it work perfect.
i will donate 25 usd to buy the device to be send to him or to donate to him so he can buy it.
a good inspire in ebay goes for about 225 usd maybe some one has one that can donate for less
let me know
lets do it guys
finally we will have ICS and even JB in our beloved inspire 4g
We already have both.

I hear you on the ban. Mods here are rediculous. Where's the thread for Hack Kit? Oh, he left because of silly mods
Anyway, you can get a good used Inspire for $150 on craigslist and there are PLENTY of roms to use without donating for some other guy to make one.
