Days After Release Motorola Atrix 4G Gets First Custom ROM
The Motorola Atrix 4G has not been out for very long, but due to the fact that it was rooted before it was even released it wasn’t going to be very long before custom ROM came out. Designgears of the XDA-Developers forum has released the first custom ROM for the phone. The ROM has two real features, it is fully Deodexed, and adds a reboot option to the device. Interestingly enough is that this ROM works for rooted and non-rooted devices.Designgears gives four very important rules if you are going to take on this process…
- Do NOT do a factory reset if something goes wrong(soft brick), you will lose adb access and have a pretty brick
- Do NOT do this if you are not familiar with ADB, if you softbrick you need to use adb to fix it
- DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY, EVER WHILE INSTALLING
- BE PATIENT
If you are interested in installing this, or just get more information you can check his original post out at the XDA forums.

wow, that did not take long…..
I urgently need your valuable opinion. I spent several hours yesterday (Sunday) at a AT&T Retail Store with the Motorola Atrix. As you may know the phone display is a smidge under resolution to the IPhone 4- it lacked the "Punch" I thought the Display would or should have- is it because of Android 2.2? The dual core and Nvidia graphics accelerator should have given the Atrix a absolutely stunning display, it was “Just Ok” display, but nowhere near the retina display of Apple. I am resigned or guessing to think that this may be a Android software thing-
The Battery time appears good, I ran the Motorola “Flash Demo Site” about 9 times, ran Kobe Bryant’s “Nike Black Mamba” 5 min Trailer sever times was all over the web, Huge Multi Media Sites, and I didn’t ding the Battery at all, which was very surprising-
There is no question the Phone is very fast, actually at this point, I’ve never held a faster phone in my hand, we downloaded Extreme Labs Speed test, “Blink” it was done, actually initially I thought the download aborted- No such luck, Its fast-
So the Bottom line, The Display worries me. On the other Hand I'm hearing the Display on the Xoom is Gorgeous- but their running Gingerbread 3.0- I remember there was talk that Gingerbread required some very High Tech Hardware in place, Dual Core, Nividia ect- The Atrix is running Android 2.2-
Oops! I left one thing out-
The Sales rep told me the phone was “LTE Ready”, when I asked what do you mean, he smiled and said all that’s required is a Sim Card Change Out, He said Both the Inspire and the Atrix were that way. After I got home I called AT&T and spoke to a Supervisor in Technical Services, who confirmed that dialog. I am very surprised, as none of the reviews have said that. There has been great debates over 4G, and articles that say the Atrix is but isn’t 4G, and cannot work on LTE-
