Hey guys! I got my atrix 4g around the end of may and i haven't regretted switching from iphone since! . But i don't know alot about android hacking, modding, tips, tricks, features, etc, so as you can see i need help. I was wondering if some of the AMAZING people on the android forum could maybe take me in as an "Apprentice" so that i could learn all the hacking and tricks about atrix or android in general , like i knew when i had an iphone?

How did you learn when you had your iPhone? In most cases most people will search and read this forum time after time and then they fig, it out. So my advice is to read and search before you want to start asking questions im sure somewhere on this thread there is the anwser you are looking for. If you cant find what your looking then you need to find someone in the dev. forum and be nice and they might will help you. There is alot of really good devs out there that are willing to help you. I am a noob too that came from iphone

Yup, read a lot, search a lot, and you will have to try a lot. If you follow instructions, most of the time everything will go fine, but if it doesn't, you also need to look for the answers you will need to get back on track. You will get frustrated a lot, but the best way to learn anything is to try things yourself, and learn by your mistakes.
There are plenty of resources outside of XDA to learn about Android. There are some very good guides in the Atrix forums here also which will help you. Don't expect the devs to teach you programming. You will have to learn that yourself, but the devs will help you when you get stuck...........if, as was said, you treat them nicely!
Remember to post in the correct forums also. You will bring down the fires of hell on you if you post questions in the dev forum, themes in the general forum, etc.
lol thank you both, if its not too much can i run a scenario by you?

1) HKTW is a Chinese version of ginergbread more or less (i.e. Hong Kong Tai Wan), that happens to be usable on a U.S. AT&T Atrix w/ a unlocked boot loader. It's pretty buggy, since it wasn't specially designed for our device or carrier.
2, 3 & 4) To return to stock, which you will have to do if you flash any ROM before being able to OTA (Over The Air) update, you have to flash (a nice word for install) a fresh sbf. A sbf file is a original source file from Motorola that upon installing (i.e. flashing) will return your device back to stock, more or less. For instance, if you were to flash the 1.26 sbf onto your phone, it would exactly like the way you got it from the store; everything back to "normal" and stock. So before you do this you make a backup of your stuff, preferably on a external sd card. That way if you have to flash a sbf file and return to stock for what ever reason, you can re-install your stuff with minimal effort. Here is a good guide for flashing a sbf, explaining what you need and what to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
and here is another for all the sbf files currently:

I'm sure you have more questions, so ask always, and I'll try to help when & where I can.
Ok, so I'm assuming you are running a U.S. AT&T Atrix??
So the first thing you are probably going to want to do is get Root access (like getting a jail break on iphone, more or less):
- If your on 4.1.83 firmware (the most current). You can check by going to setting -> About Phone -> System Version. You will need to use Gingerbreak to Root your phone. This will most likely wipe your phone, so save what you can on your pc, ext. sd card, etc.
Instructions here:

And Crap, my wife called and whats to grab a bite to eat... start there, and I'll edit and add to the post later.

Okay so after partially pestering these forums, The "Hear the Echo" community managed to root the Kyocera Echo (THANK GOD) thanks to Revolutionary's zergRush! Now we have another set of steps that we need to do in order to fully bring this phone up to par. We need:
1. Someone to help us map out the keys to our recovery image (or just build us one if you know how, please and thank you )
-One of HTE's greatest members Saridnour (also a member of XDA) has put all he has into the site, from trying his hardest at porting a recovery image (or building one, I dont quite know), to simplifying zergRush's rooting script by building a program that did the rooting for us! HTE owes him a debt of gratitude, and if you would like to donate to him, please do so at the HTE site here. The Donate button is in his signature! But on to what we need, we need someone to map out the recovery keys! He has the Recovery image built, but it will only boot from fastboot and he cannot navigate to the various options because the key mapping isnt right. Does anyone have an answer to this?
2. Porting Sense to Gingerbread
-everyone loves the HTC sense UI (3.0+), and I was wondering how would I go about porting that to the 2.3.4 GB Echo. Better yet, is it even possible? I would like to have the UI down packed, plus, if possible, port the New Beats Audio to it, I think that it is really awesome!
3. Building CM7
-How would I go about building a CM7.1 nightly for the phone?
4. Building MIUI
-This phone has 1 GB Ram and 1 GB Rom, I know that it is more than capable of RUNNING MIUI, but can I build it, or is MIUI the only one that can build it for us?
5. Building a Custom Kernel
-This phone's battery is horrible, how can I build a kernel that will give it better battery life?
Please know that this phone is now rooted, so ALL of this is possible, we are seriously in need of some help, it is a lot of talent on the site, we just need some help being pointed in the right direction. Please and thank you for all your comments in advance.
Thanks,
Ognimnella
Hear The Echo
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
This phone has recover like 2 roms and kernel
Source and root

I know over at the androidforums a few users where able to succesfully port from vm to ting. However they didn't really give too many details regarding the whole process especially with roms. Before I keep on going I'd like to apologize as I think this thread is supposed to go into the development section but I'm denied because I just signed up. Anyways I'd like to know what I need to do to in order to be able to flash the sprint based roms on here. Thank you.
i am a humongus fan of this dev..he has brought so many really cool roms to the sprint note 3..but i am really confused about what version im even on..the titles help some..but i would like to experiance every rom,and every version from the beginning to the end.. he has so many..if somneone could help me out by creating a easy readable list of all his roms,in oder,and grouped....im pretty sure he has more than just the M.O.A.R versions..and ive had lot of trouble installing these roms also..i know there are threads helping people install instructions..im jus asking for a thread dedicated to all his roms in one place,and in order,so we can start from beginning,and upgrade accordingly..maybe even install steps for twrp,and philz in the same thread??...if im asking to much,then if someone cpould help me figure this out,and send me a mess with all links in order,cause im lost..

We need to keep all the threads separate per Rom.
For a few reasons, it would be difficult for one person to keep up with every single Rom @sac23 has made on 1 OP post.
It isn't that difficult to sift throughout the development section and or the Q&A section.
If you have issues, questions then please find a member to ask and they'll usually be MORE than happy to assist you.
We all started somewhere, usually from the bottom and some are on the top now.
I hope this answer helped your question out, I tried to the best of my ability.
