I love this phone

I just came from the Atrix. I thought that I would be OK running the atrix without mods(locked bootloader), but i think i went through with-drawls from CM. Motorola blows goats with their locked blootloaders. Ther stock price is down 10%
Design Gears bricked his phone, that was the final straw. I will never by a Motorola phone again

Loving it too!
Coming from Leo I have found it very similar just with more mpx and RAM/ROM
Bye physical buttons as well.
So far so good (2 days with it)

some testings have showed that browsing speed of Atrix is not faster than Inspire. Proud to own an Inspire.

I agree, it is a great phone. Had it for a week now, it was a nice upgrade from my HTC Aria.

Love this phone too. Coming from 4 years of every iPhone - finally got bored and made the jump.
At first it was like a really bad break up - thought about the iPhone 4 every single day, missed it when I would hold or caress another phone, and wanted many of the features/memories back. Now after about two months, rooting, flashing to MIUI (following weekly builds), cattleprod's Cyan04.7 Kernel, and other tweaks and mods, I'm wholeheartedly fulfilled and more ways then before. Can't imagine going back to that terrible world I was in before.
Don't get me wrong, I have an iPad 2 and wouldn't give that up for the world (or any other Android tablet) though. Apples vs oranges though.

Upgraded from a cheap quick messaging phone

Great!

Came from Iphone 4 and I'll never go back. Been with apple for past few years with 3g, 3gs, 4 and never again. The customization of Android makes it all worth the transition 100 times over.
So yes needless to say I love my Inspire 4g! In fact trying to talk buddy of mine into buying one instead of the Infuse. I prefer HTC.

The infuse has about 1/2 the RAM and only 200 MHz more CPU (easily in the stable OC range)
Also, the only bad thing about moving from the iPhone was the apps I had bought. It was SO easy to sync my contacts to Gmail.

I love his phone also. After rooting, custom Roms etc... this phone is even better. I switched from being and Iphone user and will not go back. I am waiting to get my wife one for her upgrade so she can get rid of the Iphone also.

I used this Rom very easy and I like it alot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964841

After owning a LOT of phones, this has been my favorite by far....love the aluminum build quality, HTC is my fave manufacturer, sense is great, development support is awesome, everything!
Sadly I had to get rid of mine today I needed the money for my wifes bday, but I'm hoping soon things will turn up and I'll have the money to buy another one...I miss it already. I hope more people buy this phone so they can realize how amazing HTC + Android are...run from your iPhones please.

Wow man really? My wife would be pissed at me if I sold anything I owned for her birthday. I bet you could make her dinner, make her a card, get some wine, get something awesome for dessert and just enjoy her company for an evening instead....Girls are suckers for attention.

Count me in on the Inspire love. I've had mine for a couple months now and find it still to be an exceptional smartphone. I haven't rooted mine but I do use custom launchers. Currently using GO Launcher EX with the GoContacts/GoDialer and continue to be amazed by this Inspire.
I can't take screenshots on my Inspire but this is exactly what it looks like from these screenshots of my HD2. The only difference is the taskbar.

Making the switch.....

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?

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.

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

Having bad temptation.

I was offered a brand new galaxy note, and I am very tempted, I don't want to be, and but my geek self and love for big phones can't help it.
Basically just wanting to come firm once we get source will think some cm9, and aokp, and miui, be running 100%.
I am loving this phone, buy I have a ln issue with keeping phones, lol.
Any info/opinions would be great.

Really depends on what you want. I currently own both devices and dev for the note. The one x is a better phone in my opinion in all aspects. If the one x had the same screen as the note I'd sell my note in a heartbeat. No source is needed for good cm9 or aokp. Note doesn't even have official ics and we have cm9 aokp miui and paranoidandroid

I traded my galaxy note for the one x and I do miss the screen size of the note but love the one x so much more it's the little features that make me love it like being able to forward my text and email to my work phone right out the box and the camera on the one x is to me the best camera on any phone and to me the one x just seems to run smoother and I have not even rooted mine I have had it for about 2 weeks and love just running stock that's just my 2 cents
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Once we get Kernel Source It will be all over. I see great things ahead for this device. No way would swap it for a Note.

you posted in a htc one x forum, of course we will say no... lol

I just got the One X last week and I'm loving it. I switched from Sprint to AT&T, so my choices were between the Note and One. They're both awesome and I was very tempted by the large screen, but in terms of performance the One X wins hands down. And my inner geek forced me to go for performance.
(Of course, I run xmonad on my laptop for the performance over beauty rationale too. lol)
BTW, I just flashed CM9 alpha5 and it's pretty sweet so far.

I switched from a note to a hox (on day 30!) And I don't regret it at all. The screen size was nice and the pen was fun but I'm really liking the one x. I came from an iPhone and had no clue what Android was about. The guy who was helping me when I initially got the note recommended the one x but all I could think about was the big screen of the note. I'm glad I had those 30 days for the exchange!

I have both devices and don't get me wrong, the big screen is kinda cool but it doesn't touch the One X. If I had to choose it would be the One X all the way.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

If AT&T's note had the Exynos and not the S3 it would have been a tougher decision for me. Thankfully the S3 is pretty weak so I never even considered getting it. I haven't been happier about a phone purchase before. I love my HOX more than I loved my E4GT (one of the best phones ever), and even more than I loved my OG EVO 4G, and that says an awful lot.

I have made up mind, staying with the HOX. Cm9 is coming along nice, and I have done lots of reading the hox will keep me happier.
Thanks everyone.

Smart man Now stop posting in this thread so it dies and we can all forget that you were considering leaving your HOX for an inferior device

Stable Jelly Bean on the cheap

After hearing about the Nexus S getting JB I've been wondering if any other older phones will be getting official JB or prospects are looking good for a stable thrid-party port. I can't afford a SGSII or even a Galaxy Nexus right now...

Samsung captivate has job port pretty stable I believe. Just look around there's a lot of good phones out with great devs
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Youre right I should look around, gonna go through the JB port announcements on the main XDA site. The Captivate will certainly be an option to consider along the Nexus S.
EDIT:Seems Motorola Defy has a rather advanced port.

you can get the moto defy also, has a pretty decent CM10 and it can be got for cheap also

HTC Desire HD seems to have a advanced JB port.

The HD2 has a fairly good port, with everything but YouTube working. I don't think HWA is working either but I haven't really checked much, I'm still using CM9 until something better is released.

Captivate is very inexpensive and the Remic port of JB is working great

Edit: Nevermind, wrong forum. Too many open tabs. I know, very noob...

HTC Dinc2 has two promising threads of JB CM10 (N7 & Aeroevan's). Just flashed the latter last night and it's pretty good so far. There are some bugs, but they have a lot of active development on them.

Officially retiring my myTouch 4G

Hey Guys,
It's been an awesome time using my myTouch 4G, but it looks like I am going to officially retire this phone. For the longest time, I have been looking for the best ROM rocking the latest Android, but let's face it, this phone is no longer capable of functioning to my preferences having solid stability.
I have now been looking for a cheap $150 phone (I am a college student) so I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007URA092) for $139.99, not a bad price for what comes with the phone. So far, this phone runs great, I might consider rooting it, but might wait it out for a few months for now.
Anyways, huge thanks to all the dev's out here for creating some rocking ROMs! This community is awesome, and hope it remains this strong for a long time.
Cheers,
Darkgiant

Sorry for the super late reply, I like the Moto G, but it is not worth it IMO.
I prefer a phone that has the ability to hold an external SD card versus having all internal. I personally work for a software company, and I get the stance of having everything accessible by cloud, but I will be quite honest, we are not yet at a phaze where we can start securely uploading all of our files up in the cloud. Either way, I love my new phone, installed AOKP Jelly Bean, and it is rocking. If anyone is curios, it is the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, it is similar to the S2 (1.5 GHz dual core, etc, 5MP Camera, 4 inch screen, etc...), its a small rocking phone overall.
