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 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

Wich phone would you pick?

So I though of upgrading my nexus one. The possible candidats are a htc one s or a motorola razr maxx. If you had to choose wich one would you take? I don't like that big screens, so 4.3 inches seems to be a sweat spot for me. Could you recomend me other phones?
Thx
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app

Razr Maxx has the best battery life out of all smartphones in the market so if you are looking for a phone that has great battery life, the razr maxx is the phone to get. Other good phones are the GNexus and the SGS3 which have full support of Ics and JB.

The best hardware right now is the galaxy s iii. The best software support is on the galaxy nexus.
I wouldn't get something as locked down as the Motorola unless you're okay with only ever getting one android update, and getting it super late. And I think the gsiii does everything the HTC does and then some.
My choice is (and probably always will be) the nexus because I have more control over it than any other device, but the gsiii is a good choice now as well.

At that screen size I'd take the Galaxy s2 or Sony Xperia S or One S in that order
The maxx is good but lack of support kills it. Battery life is the only reason to get it.

galaxy s2 will be the best choice for the range of the screen size & samsung is still continuing to update the software on s2

Did all four of you guys seriously just ignore the fact that he wants a phone with a 4.3 inch screen? Those would be too big for him.
I would have to agree with SII, great development and Samsung supports Cyanogenmod, what more could you ask for? Still has great specs too.

I would realy like that extra battery life on the maxx and it just got the ics update. But are phones with bigger screens like 4.8" in dimensions a lot bigger than that with 4.3"?
Thx to you all

There's too many of these threads all over the place on here now.
None of us can give you a definite answer of what phone to get because ultimately, it's your choice and none of us can change that. And if a you're after is suggestions, why not just think of a few yourself and float round the specific sections for those phones so you can read peoples responses to the phone.
I'll end up making a dedicated thread for this kinda thing if I see too many more of these

It starts getting difficult at 5+ and becomes a matter of taste there. Otherwise 4.8 has proven manageable with phones like sensation and galaxy s3.
Consider that the maxx is not HD and is aged technology, even at launch there were complaints on moto holding out,if you also don't mind this carry on.
Consider you can always get an extended battery for something like the s3 or optimus 4x without a great increase in bulk as they're thin.

Considered selling your HOX for a Nexus 4?

Well, have you? I have. I know I can get at least $325 for it if not the full $350.
I feel like it's a bit of a downgrade but I'd like other opinions. (vanilla is looking pretty nice with JB so distant still)

OK. What's the major difference, honestly?

Vanilla android. Which is a big difference over stock. I have a Nexus 7 and I love the UI.
More battery and more RAM.

Cm10 is pretty close to vanilla. If that's your only reason for switching then so be it. I have one reason why I won't switch. And once that is remedied I'm going to nexus permanently.
4G LTE.

Not that performance is not already enough on the ONE X but doesn't the Nexus 4 have a quad core S4 and a significantly more powerful GPU. This makes it about twice as fast as the HOX already and it has a bigger battery and vanilla android and will get the newest Android OS'.
My biggest concern is storage size at 8GB or 16GB isn't much and it just doesn't look as nice as the white HOX.

The fact that it's made by LG turns me off. The HOX is awesome in its own right and I think Sense is great in terms of usability. HTC has come a very long way with refining Sense into what it is now (remember Sense 2.0 and 2.1? *shudder*).
I've had the Tegra 3 version of the HOX, sure the 'benchmarks' said it was better, but in actual usage, the dual-core S3 spanked it. On top of that, LTE! Only time I will ever get a Nexus device is if it is from HTC though.

I'm buying one, but I'm not selling my HOX.

I can recommend it. Been runny nightly builds for about 2 months now, never had any major problems (the occasional reboot or something) but everything works great.
I considered switching, but like the verge review pointed out, the lack of LTE is a hard thing to drop. Stock 4.2 would be really nice, but I bet it'll be available soon (either AOKP or CM10) and I'll just keep my superfast LTE.

No.
Please stop these alternate phone threads.

Me too. LG phones feel and look cheap. They've gotten better recently, but still not up to par with HTC or even Samsung. I'd be interested in a new Nexus phone, but not from LG.
Weren't they talking at one point about 4 or more Nexus devices coming out by years end?

now that i have had a chance to red some reviews i think im going to pass on this
but im going to stick with my HOX and see what comes out in the new year

Thought about it, but I couldn't live without LTE. HSPA+ in San Diego is a laughable joke. A lot of times I can't even stream music when I am driving.

Sent from my One S using XDA Premium HD app

Well, you say that the SGS3 will soon be outdated but in all honesty do you really care about the newer hardware? The only real changes which will be made soon are 1080p screens and better processors. You will never see the difference between 1080p and 720p screens unless you're specifically comparing them side by side to see purely the sharpness of the screen, and I have yet to find an app that I regularly use that even the SGS2 can't handle with ease, so I doubt you'll find one for the SGS3. It takes heavy games in its stride too, since many devs optimise their apps for the SGS3's chipset (in a similar way that you see Tegra3 optimised games).
Having said this, the SGS3 also has a lot that other phones don't:
-There are various storage options and more importantly expandable storage
-Being so popular means that it has a huge variety of accessories (almost iPhone-like in that respect)
-It has a removable battery which means that you can fit an extended battery if you wish
-It has a menu button so you don't get the three dots softkey like you do on HTCs
-TouchWiz (whilst ugly) has some amazing features
-It still has one of the best smartphone cameras currently available
-The development community is huge
-It has a variety of colour options

Samsung galaxy s3.

I think I'm leaning towards the s3 or sucking it up and waiting for the s4 the storage for the dna is a huge deal breaker

Should I trade my inspire 4g for a Nexus s

Always wanted a nexus s when they can out have a inspire 4g right now but had a offer for a Nexus s so what would be best? If anyone has both and could tell me what one is better and why that would help thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app

They look pretty similar, here's the spec sheets for both though if you haven't seen them yet. Looks like your Inspire has more RAM but Nexus has a way bigger hard drive. I've had my NS for a few weeks now and I'm happy with it despite it being two years old. There are some great roms for it too, HTC was a let down for me on the development side. Plus it's just a sexy looking phone I would make the trade if the condition is similar on the two but that's just me, I'll take pure android over Sense any day.

The 4.2 roms I've tried are great, very little lag if any with the right kernel. I think the drop in ram will be your biggest issue though, may not be quite as smooth as yours.

The develpoment section is better for the Nexus, the sexyness is undoutible asswell, just turn the screen of on it and look!
