Our persistence paid off!

Congrats guys! We got our forum.
I love my A2. Let's get crackin on recovery.

To get recovery you will first have to unlock the bootloader. I'm looking to save up for the atrix2. Accepting donations from some of my roms in order to buy one. Once I get one I'm gonna try to unlock the bootloader and get recovery running. Then make a bloatware free ROM

Awesome, this is one great phone and now it will do nothing but get better!

Congratz guys ! As an atrix owner i got jealous of you when i navigated through atrix 2 u.i. It is by far the coolest Android user interface that i've seen.

Nice! I had an inspire for a while and loved all the dev support. I'm hoping you'll save up soon! I used an upgrade from another one of my lines to get the rebate, and am totally satisfied.
A lot of people complain it's not much of an upgrade from the original, but i think its by far superior in every way. It still has a 1ghz dual-core processor, but i find it much more responsive and smoother than the original atrix. Same resolution and size of the inspire screen, but it seems to be a bit brighter. looks really clean.

Thanks for the info lil brother might get a phone soon might take his new 2 year contract phone and give him my captivate or something

Thanks to the Admin(s) who listened to us and made this forum possible, we have Atrix 2 forums on other boards but at XDA I feel we have a home!
Another thanks goes to all you A2 owners out there, we came together and made our voice heard so we could get this forum. It may have taken longer than we felt it should have but that's how the cookie crumbled. We have it now so that's all that matters.

It's a great phone. I came from a Droid x and the A2 blows it out of the water. I love the qHD screen and its by far the easiest screen to see in direct sunlight. I just changed the oil pan on my car today in straight sunlight and didn't have a problem taking calls or texting. Screen is amazing.

I wont be getting an Atrix2 since i own the atrix but if i didn't own an atrix, i would buy the atrix2 for sure. Btw i believe all atrix owners are waiting for the RAZR like me.
It would be great if that u.i could be ported to original atrix.

Hey be true and do what I did... Bought both.. Die hard atrix guy here... And I agree and love that we got our forum. Joined just to see it happen lol...

They're both great phones, but is there enough of a difference to justify upgrading from OG to 2? xD

I'm gonna have both 1 and 2 . Gonna use one while developing for the other and switcheroo

I was always curious about how are we gonna know whether an update, say ICS, is out for skyrocket? Is there a feature on our phone that will notify us like iOS? Or do we have to always look for the answer online?

The skyrocket will not need a port it is going to get official ics. Supposidly q1 which actually att said the vivid and skyrocket would recieve ics q1
..so really soon unless att or sammy are dragging ass.....lol which has been known to happen on occasion

hate to say it but q1 is almost over, two weeks lol. We've been shafted... again

Ics from Sammy people don't seem to like it. I love touch wizard and didn't mind it I just installed trebuchet launcher on my epic 4g touch trust me guys when it comes if you like touchwiz you will be happy if not you will be very sad. I'm in love with my skyrocket

[Q] Will Skyrocket be able to use the official T-Mobile SGS II ICS update? [Solved]

Noticed that the T-Mobile SGS II is getting it's ICS update today. Considering both the phones are pretty much the same inside, can the T-Mobile ICS rom be able to be ported to our device the Skyrocket?

I'm sure the answer is yes.

Hope it's not really 4.0.3, given our last leak was 4.0.4.

Yeah. I saw that too. But once we have kernel source all SHOULD be well.

But an official 4.0.3 with all features working will do until our official 4.0.4 is released. At least for me.

I've been on a home brew UCLE2 based rom since it dropped and have been pretty happy with it. Only wish battery life was a bit better, but power save mode seems to make a big difference with that.

Its touchwiz. Don't know why everyone is hyped other than the kernel source being available.

Wouldn't it be amazing if AT&T blessed our ICS with TW UX? That would do some serious brand strengthening. Too bad it is very unlikely.

Were either of you expecting something else? If you thought it was going to be stock ICS then you're either on the wrong board or purchased the wrong phone.
It gets really old reading all of this whining about Touchwiz. This is the SKYROCKET forums. It comes with Touchwiz, always has and always will. Frankly if you two hate it so much why in the world did either of you purchase this phone?
Some of us are quite happy with Touchwiz and are excited to finally be seeing a complete and fully functioning ICS rom that could run on our phones.

First off I knew it would have touchwiz I'm not an idiot don't treat me like one. You have your oppinion and I have mine the only exciting thing for me is source the rest of it for me is just an update
Edit: and btw we have aosp roms which means I can like this phone and hate tw

Oh man u guys well he's right it is touchwizz and the kernel source can change alot of thing$ underclock and new custom kernel the II can change to aosp and the 4.0.3 is compatible. With 4.0.4

So even though you knew it had Touchwiz you purchased the phone anyway. That's great. Now we all know how much you hate it. Thanks for sharing this completely unneeded opinion.
I would like to ask, what exactly does this opinion have to do with the topic of this thread? As frankly it appears as if you just wanted to inject your negativity for no reason other than to rain on the parade of those that are excited about the update and are happy with their purchase of a Touchwiz skinned device.

For the sake of not creating a high school drama here which you clearly want.

Should I get the Atrix 2?

Based on feature set, availability and price my reasearch has led me to this phone with the RAZR as a second choice(pentile screen, waker battery, no FM). The RAZR has better development though(incl kexec). I'm hoping to run ICS as a daily driver in the very near future and JB/CM10 down the line. What do you think?

Price-wise it's the best phone you can get. I myself owned a HTC magic and then a nexus one and can confirm that the build quality is solid. Webtop is also a great feature.
Rom-wise we've stock/modded ICS and soon ported CM10. But don't expect to unlock the bootloader. If you can live with it, buy it
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app

Keep in mind, this is one persons opinion, but personally, I love this phone. We have 2 ICS Leaks, and CM10 is right around the corner.
It's mainly your preference, but i'd say just to be sure you want this phone, read all that you can from this forum.

Bootmenu is great man. With it, you can essentially dual boot so to speak. Check the thread out, it tells you ALMOST everything you need to know. Something's you can read around the forums and find answers to. I've become pretty familiar with it, so if you have any specific questions feel free to ask me.
Also others are here to help too
By the way, just a heads up, this should be in Q&A

Thread Move in progress.
Oh, BTW, threw a couple thanks to you 2 for great advice to the new people. Way to go!

If you can live with a locked bootloader I don't see why not, the specs are decent, screen size is pretty good and overall quality is nice. We have ICS (leak), a few custom roms, and CM10 is being worked on (I believe camera isn't working just yet). Mine is currently softbricked because I got into a bootloop and my battery is low , but that's easy to fix once I can charge the battery, which I'm being patient with and not doing anything risky and potentially harmful to the battery or phone. In conclusion, if the price is right, it's a pretty decent phone, with a locked bootloader (Always a catch)

Hmm. How about making a bounty or making a collection for a donor device to a dev? Just thinking out loud...
The only feature I'm missing that a custom kernel might solve is 2-way call recording. I think...

We have a bounty for someone who can unlock the bootloader. And yea custom kernels and all that jazz would require an unlocked bootloader.

You won't be disappointed. This is only the second phone I've owned in 16 years that I haven't wanted to destroy after a couple months of use.
Is the lack of support from Motorola annoying? Sure, but the amount of support from the developers and everyone in this community is all you will need. Whether you stay on Gingerbread or upgrade to the ICS leak, there are plenty of amazing ROMS and mods to play with.
Just make sure you read through the forums (especially the stickies) and familiarize yourself with phone and the community.

[Q] RAZR HD

Hi all !
Does anyone know why there still is no section for the RAZR HD ?
It's already been realized. At least here, in France.
Does it share common hardware with another phone ?
Thanks

I think xda is US based, do you probably won't see a dedicated forum for the Razr HD until it is released here.
It uses the Snapdragon S4 processor, so it is similar in that respect to many phones.

How's battery life? The old Razr has a 1780mah battery, while the new Razr HD you have has a 2530mah.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

i bought it here in Canada just today...
Fantastic battery life on LTE, i will know more tomorrow on a full day of use.
the build quality is incredible. I have had mainly Nexus devices with the odd HTC One X...nothing touches this in terms of build quality and overall solid feel.
ICS...its ICS. Having used JB on the GNexus the last several months its hard to take a step down to jittery old ICS. Like you wouldnt know it if you hadnt played with JB, but ICS lags!
The screen, out of the box, is great and doesnt require a lot of colour tweaks.
Aside from that, love it.
Hopefully this will get a root (its officially supported by Moto in its bootloader unlock program) and i can get CM10 or something on this ASAP
Any questions? I will try to answer them as best i can.

It might come thus Thursday 18th to Verizon
