As y'all know, after upgrade to official ICS on the atrix, there is no "contacts" tab in the dialer like GB stock dialer had. (No, i don't seem to find a 3rd party dialer app like stock GB one.)
I see that there is a modded dialer with contact's for Samgun's ICS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326674&page=19
Can I request the experts here create one like this for Atrix's official ICS release? :fingers-crossed:
My wife and I would also love to see this model.

I don't know if this is just with CM10, but if you click the "head and shoulders" tab in the dialer, you can scroll down past the favorites and see ALL your contacts.
Again I'm not sure if this is just a CM10 feature. But maybe it could help..
Edit: also for future reference, all Questions go in the Q&A section.

the asiaretail Phone app had a contacts tab.. i have the odex and apk for it if someone wants to deodex and try ..
also in the Numa rom which is at&t ota ics based, the phone app has a search button on the centre bottom of recent and favorite tabs.. that gives you access to the phonebook.. maybe its there on stock ics too..
Search button brings contacts up in dialer...don't know if ya knew but if not, now ya do lol. Edit: didn't see ya mentioned that lol. But yes, stock does same with search button. Brings people app up.

I have 2 at&t Infuse4g, with one running Catyrom and the other running Zeus.
By the way I love both roms....pretty sweet.
My question is that EpixHD app is not avail to these phones with me running these Roms. EpixHD states avail to Android 2.1 and higher and obviously these r higher but unavil in the market.
Is there way to get this apk not thru the market? It's a free app. Forgive my ignorance if there is a easy way.
I know when I'm on stock Rom it's there.
Thanks
You have to make changes in the build.prop. I don't know if it would work on those two roms either because i never tried it. If you can get it on the stock roms, I would wait till you went back to those roms and just back the app up with tbu and see if that works.

go on the stock browser and change the useragent to desktop. to do this type about:useragent in the address bar, then log into gmail from the website and go to market.android.com
this also can be done from a computer that is logged into the same gmail account that is on the phones.
the android market is very weird with keys and carrier branding. there have been fixes and you can Google them but I gave up on that stuff once they started with the web market.
Update:
Well I was wrong I could get Epix on Zeus not on Caty rom.
But I'm good now!!
Thanks everyone!
This may be old news for a lot of a people, but since I can't find any mention of it in the G2x Forums, then I figured there were probably still enough people who don't know about it to warrant a new thread.
If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )
thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!
I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

Widgets are working for me. Just not in the ICS style of pulling them from the app drawer, which is not a huge deal for me.

Only if it had lock screen gesture and delete/uninstall apps directly from the app drawer. The two things that won't let me go of the Golauncher.

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***
Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!
Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!
I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.
The jelly bean update is nice.... People don't seem to like the search bar but I think it's cool

Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Its not about touchwiz launcher...its deeper then that...
Its built into the samsung stock contacts app as well as the frameworks...so you are out of luck (none of the ics roms have stock contacts as we have no compatible version or the twframework to support it...)
However (not positive) you can probably download a different contacts app from the play store that allows the swiping...then just uninstall the one that came with the rom

The option that you are looking for is in Samsung Gingerbread.
I'm not sure if that was built into CM9

Hello everyone. I have a few questions of which I'm trying to get resolved. Today I upgraded my phone to Ice Cream Sandwich and I've noticed a few issues. First, the icons on my phone such as the messaging icon, phone icon and camera icon look exactly the same as they did before I upgraded it. I've noticed from photos online that with ICS they look different. Like the phone icon is blue, and the messaging icon looks different. Is there something wrong or is it that the icons were not changed on the Galaxy S II Skyrocket? Also, when I go to the applications screen where all my applications are, it still makes you scroll to the right or left to see the different pages of apps. I thought that they changed it to where you scrolled up and down instead of left to right. My phone has also been changing my home screen wallpaper on its own. (before the update and after still) If anyone can answer my questions, I'd be deeply appreciated! Thanks again! Nicci
Note: I haven't tried official stock ics or the stock leaks. I am on Sky ICS with official rogers ics base
It doesn't sound like any real problems are occurring. Icons can be changed through replacement launchers such as Apex or Nova. I am not sure about the messaging app color. As for app drawer scrolling, this should be able to be changed in settings if u prefer vertical scrolling over horizontal. These aren't actual issues but rather preferences and things that can be changed by simply taking a stroll through settings
I have no idea about the wallpaper changing on its own

I checked the touchwiz launcher (which I had only used for 5 min after flashing sky ics) and it appears u are correct in that there isn't an option to change the layout here.
Download Apex or Nova launcher (for a more pure ics feel) and u will be able to change the app drawer to your liking. It is smoother than Touchwiz and looks much nicer as well. I prefer Apex but both are good. Give them a try and also download home switcher from the play store. This way when you select a launcher as default you won't have to clear defaults to simply load another installed launcher. The one problem is the set default within the app doesn't work to my knowledge so if u want to change your default launcher you will have to clear defaults anyway.

Your information is beyond helpful! None of this was known to me beforehand. After doing research, what I'm noticing is it seems to be that most ICS features are only on the Nexus. Such as the ability to access the camera from the lock screen, and numerous other features. A lot of the features from the ICS website simply are not on this phone. Odd.

I didn't review the ics website but camera can be accessed through lock screen through the use of an app. You can use widget locker $$ (haven't used) but have read good things) or go locker (free). I used go locker previously because I would use go launcher while on gb. Go locker requires you to have go launcher downloaded in order to use btw. Another one you could try is magic locker (also haven't used).
What are these other missing features you are referring to?

I see. I'll have to go on the website again and read it over. Thing is, why are we having to download apps for these functions to work? If it is ICS, shouldn't the features be universal on every phone, and not just one? (Such as the Nexus S)

This is different then ics on the nexus because that is pure Google while the Skyrocket gets Samsung's touchwiz UI over the top.

If you are having trouble with the keyboard then go into app and clear data in android keyboard. It can be found under all apps. If this doesn't help ur messaging problem (I don't think it will) then u may want to clear data in the messaging app (as long as you are fine with loosing your mms)

Hi all, I was very much surprised to see ICS update on my Atrix 2 in India. Motorola has really done a decent Job on ICS for Atrix 2. Surprise apps like Smart action and beautiful and simple UI.
But I am missing MotoBlur 2.3 UL and Blur Social Netwroking app and Universal Message app. Can can one Rip these apps from 2.3.6 and post here.. Also Weather app.. Thanks in advance
I don't think it's possible to port them, and if it was there is no space left in system partition

The app "Executive Assistant" is a great way to get all of your email & social apps into one widget if that's what you're looking for. Though I don't use it anymore, it served its purpose well when I was addicted to caring about all that useless crap.
If universal messaging app isn't available on ICS, I am never going to upgrade to it. I use 3-4 email accounts and like to have them all available in one place.
No Universal Messaging app

There is no Universal messaging app, no MotoBlur, No MotoBlur widgets. ICS on Atrix is very simple. Moto Didn't do any tweaks in the UI. Also there is no connected Music player which would sync lyrics automatically. Music player is also very bland..

really looks impressive, has every option that the music player in 2.3.6 had and even few more goodies, give it a try.
Player pro is worth paying for too.

Hi can anyone confirm the following things about atrix 2 on ICS:
1. Does your phone auto rotate to landscape in the app menu as before? My phone auto rotates only in the settings menu,youtube & browser.
2. How do i view all home screens at once? Tapping home button on home screen does not display all the home screens at once (unlike in gb).

I believe these are all launcher-specific options, which may not be part of Holo HD. Since I use Novalauncher Prime, it does in fact rotate the app drawer, and double-tap of home brings up desktop previews. Check your launcher settings and verify these options may or may not exist.
Bottom line, not an OS issue, its a launcher issue.
I am on stock ics launcher. I wanted to clarify these 2 points before trying out nova/holo.

But instead this person wants MotoBlur back on ICS and wants it back "urgently". Oh the humanity...

I have ripped MotoNav (Network independent GPS) from Milestone XT720 (2.1) and installed in Atrix. It is working very fine except the resolution. I think, 2.3 apps from atrix will work on ICS. I will work on it if I get a phone with 2.3.6 Shortly, I will get Atrix 2 running on 2.3 (My cousin is using it) Will try to extract and install my Atrix ICS
