Dual Boot WP7? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
In addition to some Android apps I also do a little Silverlight on the side. I was wondering if it is possible to load a WP7 ROM onto the Atrix to multi-boot (using Boot Manager) or something so I can test a few apps on the actual phone.
I haven't been able to find any info on this regarding the Atrix, but it seems like an easy thing to do using an HD2.
Thanks.

Nope. That's not going to happen.

An easy thing to do? Do you have any idea as to how much effort, hard work and time went into that?

My Mobiler or Similar for Streak

Just upgraded from HTC HD2 to the Streak (so much better). However the one thing I miss is the MyMobiler app that allowed you to control the phone from a PC screen.
Does anyone know if there is a similar app for the Streak/Android?
The only thing I can find is Webkey it does require root however.
Android Screen Cast:

I have tried screencast for the streak......but I'm not sure if its the way the codes for the Streak was written, but everything is the wrong way up and at the moment, theres now work around for that which is a pain after spending all the time loading the drivers and stuff for Win7......

android injector

Hello,
Just reading through some android news and came across this. Android Injector. It will appearantly let you install apps directly to phone w/ out having to use command line or adb. Seems like a pretty easy way to get gingerbreak on to your phone. I havent used it because im at work, if somebody wants to give it a go, let us know =).

Thinking of rewriting the root script

I need input on if I should keep everything as is or change it to this kind of menu
Code:
Press 1 to root
Press 2 to add gApps
Press 3 to replace system components
I personally like how it is now but want public opinions.
I personally felt that it was fine as is, very simple and straightforward however, if you could make the Root script Unroot too, that would be interesting. Though i have no wants to unroot so i do not know how the process differs from rooting it (i.e. is doable through batch files) so it is even capable of being done that way. My 2 cents for what they are worth.
Also, do not take this as it can't be improved upon as everything can, however even if you didn't it would be fine as is.

I already released a unroot one click app. :|
I think it's fine as is. It's easy enough to understand, once you get everything working properly.
I love the root script it eliminated some force close issues on my device. I was wondering since roms are not avaiable if their could be custom scripts. Maybe a super custom script with three keyboard choices a choice of launchers replaced stock email, stock keyboard,gallery, wallpapers, homecatcher and other enhanced apps. I don't know if this is a direction you want to go just throwing it out there. It might help some new users. Also I dont know if its possible to have shortcuts like any cut has incorperated for debug keyboard and application menus that are hidden. Again just thinking outloud so if this sounds like a big pile of suck please just ignore and move on.

When I ran the script, the last part of nookandzergy that put on a custom keyboard didn't work. So I just reset and did the root with saying no to custom keyboard and it worked fine.
I like your idea. I ran the script in the original thread and it said it was successful. But the android market is hinky. It took dforever to register my device, and now it crashes as soon as it is launched. I did a factory reset, still have the same problem. Is there a way to tell for sure that the root was succesfu,. Thanks btw for your hard work on this. It is greatly admired.
Would it help resolve the driver issue that a lot (me) have had?
Dude thats strictly a windows problem. I swear, trying to get this thing detected properly on windows 7/xp was one of the most frustrating adroid rooting experiences I've ever had. After 3 hours f screwing around with the windows method, I switched to Ubuntu linux and had it rooted in 30 min.
I thought you script was fine as is, this is my first Android device and first experience Rooting and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks

Spoken like a true developer. You craft a thing of beauty and continue to be drawn to making it even cooler.
I don't know if you should rewrite the script or not but I like your attitude!
I decided to not rewrite it to have a numbered menu as that wouldn't go with my idiot pproof batch scripting habits so instead, I added new features yesterday and today.

[Q] Deactivated phone - possibly stupid question

I have an old Fascinate that is no longer in service that I'd like to give to my kids for games and geocaching.
Is there any way to permanently disable the phone/3G data features, or is there a custom ROM with these features removed?
I've tried googling around and found some ROMs for this, but nothing specifically for the Fascinate.

Id say start with THS Build 14, and delete Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk, MMS.apk, and Contacts.apk. Id say that's it if its deactivated, because then they cant call and accidentally activate it somehow.
Take a look at the GeeWiz thread in the development section. DJP has a version of the ROM specifically designed for what you are trying to do.
Good luck.

Thanks to both of you.
I'll give GeeWiz a look, it's cool that someone is actually developing a ROM to utilize unused but otherwise great phones.
Short term I may try a variation on Cookiemonster's suggestion since the phone has CM7.2 on it now and removing those apks might be simpler than a complete wipe and rebuild.
:good:

[Q] Loading stock android question.

Hi. I have acquired an iphone 5 clone, model number MF353ZP/A, although I have no idea who manufactured it. It has an iphone theme to it which i want to remove and just have stock android running on it. I have looked but there seems to be no apps or skins running on it giving it this theme so I'm thinking I will need to reload Android to get rid of the current OS completely. I am also pretty sure it isn't as easy as that so have come on here to basically ask how! Any help appreciated, I just want to see/run a normal android environment on it but don't know how to. Thans, Steve.

Unfortunately Android doesn't work like that. You can't just reinstall the OS and it come out with no skin. Without knowing who made it or what firmware is being used then even trying to make changes like this could end up in a brick. Your best bet for the time being would be to just install a 3rd party home launcher like Nova, Apex, Go, etc.

Something like that app will help narrow down what you have by giving you some details on the chipset, RAM, resolution, etc. With that info, it might be possible to see if there are other options for your phone.
