U must just want to try the MoPho?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App

I had a mopho for about 12 hrs. Didn't like it mostly it was the screen and GUI were problems for me. I guess I really didn't realize how much I like sense. Now if the mopho had vanilla gingerbread like the nexus S it would be much better than moto's weird blur color scheme. I also found the GUI less proficient, but not sure why since it was so barebones.
I think both the mopho and 3VO are great phones it just comes down to personal preferences.

The Photon is much closer to vanilla than the 3d.

With all of the options available along with the clean profile in Sprint ID the gui shouldn't be a big deal.

The UI is the last thing I'd let stop me from choosing a particular phone. It's too easy to replace with a third-party launcher. I mean, unless someone just REALLY loves Sense...

Q: Gingerbread 2.3 or 2.4?

Was there any word about whether we're getting version 2.3 or 2.4? I came from a Nexus S and there were nice refinements in that version which I hope we do get in this phone.
Gingerbread really did solve the issue of not needing a Task Killer... EVER!
I'm going with 2.3 for now. Maybe something newer down the line, but, one step at a time
I'd imagine either should be sufficient; the only reason they're using 2.4 is to separate it from the 2.3 developer builds, no?
Just found this, Q2!!!

Thats awesome!!!! I wish we were getting 2.4 just to say we have a higher number
It'd be a nice icing on the cake if we could get the new Sense that the newly announced EVO 3D has got

I do miss being able to flash whatever ROM I was in the mood for at the time. Aside from S-off issue, which is hopefully resolved soon, the 3vo is an all around upgrade.

Stock Gingerbread Keyboard Apk

Hello everyone I'm a proud owner of a EVO 3D coming from a Nexus S 4G and boy the only thing I miss is the keyboard...
Anyone know how I can get the stock Gingerbread from Google?
And yes I know I can find copies or similar on the market but I want the original.
Thanks to anyone for taking your time to read this.

Try out "better keyboard 8" from the market. Its got the same layout as the stock gingerbread keyboard but it has alot more features.

The plus version of the above linked app lets you set custom key heights, so you can make the keyboard as tall as you want. Give it a shot in the first 15 minutes to see if its worth your washington.
EDIT: It looks smaller because its made for WVGA phones, not qHD, which is 160 pixels taller, so the keyboards much shorter in comparison to the relative height it would have be the original EVO.
That's what I assumed. Is the Droid X 2 qhd?
Edit: Yes, it is qhd. If I remember right, I kinda liked the multi touch keyboard that was ported from the original Droid X. I'll see what I can find

The better keyboard believe or not works better than the stock I would recommend trying it out I never use to like it but they made alot of improvement
sent from my HTC EVO 3d
The one from the Market is the same size. The reason it seems smaller is because the 3D is qHD resolution (960x540) vs the Nexus S 4G @ 840x480.
Thanks everyone I now have been playing with the on you guys recommended me and its way better than stock or swipe...
Again thanks

Sprint ID, no Moto Blur?

Anyone notice that this is running Sprint ID and not blur.Maybe that is why it is so slow. All the websites reviews are incorrect. I am pretty sure they didn't include blur in this phone.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Huh? Its overflowing with blur. Go into settings/accounts/add account. All those options are part of blur. The weird white
And colored widgets, like the 4g and wifi, those are blur.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Contacts, dialer, gallery, messaging, text messaging. All of it is blur.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
He is probably referring to the hugely in your face earlier versions of Blur, not the current "don't call it motoblur" version of Blur they are using now.
Yea, its still blur. No hiding or denying it.

No I'm serious. The icons are skinned with Motorola. But go into sprint id and install a pack. Nothing changes. The default pack is considered an id pack.

Skinned with motorola = moto blur
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
I remember one review stated that Motorola said it wasn't Moto Blur cause it was revised. We all know it's Moto Blur though
No it is a moto version of sprint id. Go look in your system applications. Have you you never used a htc samsung or a different moto device? It actually has system files. It never used sprint id to be moto blur.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Ive owned a droid x a droid 2 and a cliq. I promise you the photon is moto blur. It has the same blur all the motorolas on gb have. Sprint id is a cheap knock off of htc hub imo.

I wanted to see what Sprint ID was all about so I downloaded the Social ID, all it did was download apps.....lol I thought it was some cool thing Sprint had but I was mistaken.
Lol. Same here. It just installs apps that pertain to the topic you choose.

New MotoBlur UI

Engaget posted a look to the new Moto UI for ICS.
Lots of screenshots and it does look great (in my opinion, of course)

Stock Android still looks better.
its nice, been using it a while now and like it alot.
New motoblur is a step in the right direction with the modest amount of theming involved. They seem to have basically made their blur apps themed to blend well with stock ics which is nice. Icons are still ugly as hell though, and they changed the black statusbar? Personally, you wont find me runnin the new blueblur. For every blur app out there, there will be a better alternative in the play store.

so when do we get ICS? Its Q3, Moto.
Delayed till Q4 - Try Again Later.

I am definitely excited about trying the Official ICS from Motorola. I was on the stock Rom with my Photon for quite sometime before I rooted it and then started to flash custom Roms on it. In my own opinion, an small improvement with MotoBlur is a huge improvement for me.
i think ics with motoblur will be better than cm9
