I can confirm this also works great with a 2 euro coin. Thanks!

I still think this will hurt resale value. Techies aren't the only people who buy used phones on eBay.
Still, good tip.

I was extremely affraid of doing this, using a 2 Euro coin worked very well although now there IS a tiny little scratch, almost not visible, I think this happened while holding the coin the wrong way. But the Verizon Logo is gone. I live in Germany, I don't care about Verizon Wireless ^^

Using a penny it came off, had to use a little more than gentle effort, but no scratches, just a tiny bit of residue leftover where it used to say Verizon

Lmao...do you think someone is even gonna notice? I can see it now...."hmm? Im not gonna buy that...its missing the logo."....

Has anyone tried the sponge-method to make the chrome look like brushed metal? What do you think?

Old people care about the dumbest **** man, lol.
Edit: I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'll probably just avoid it because I'm paranoid like that and when the time comes to sell it I want it to be in as good of condition as possible.

only reason why im doing it, is cuz of ics, i just cant wait 3 months or so for it to be released on the sgs2 =/

Not to troll or anything, I think the Gnex is a great phone also but I read up on that forum that a lot of people are also having some screen issues with that phone.

Galaxy Nexus is the only other phone out right now I would consider switching to from the SGS2. So will we be seeing your dad hanging around the SGS2 forums now?

Same here. There will be some beneficial changes & fine-tuning, but I think it's mainly hype over having the next new thing. Same reason iFans stand in line for hours to get the new fruit phone that has a few slight differences, lol I'm actually not looking forward to ICS too much just because I foresee a lot of app compatibility issues.

I played with galaxy nexus and its an awesome phone, ics is the shizzle...the screen is also a lot better than the gs2 (more vibrant)(resolution) also there is great development going on for the gn...I would buy it, but non contract price is ridiculous ...so ill pass....plus we should see a leak of ics soon...even better galaxy s3 shows her body and talents
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

If you were using a g2x I could see paying the off contract price for a GN, but if you are using a SII is it that hard to wait 2 or 3 months for an off contract international SIII?

[ATTN: Devs] Will this be root(able)?

I got pissed off when I got home with this phone to find out that apps could not be moved to the external sdcard.
Previous phone was a Sony Xperia Ion LT28at, rooted. The battery life just sucked on it.. So I traded for this phone (Atrix HD) thinking..
I'll go home, jump on xda.. Find the root process and be a happy camper, once again..
To my surprise.. No one had been able to beat Motorola's "security?"..
All I have left to say is...
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WORKING TOWARDS ROOT FOR THIS PHONE.. GOD SPEED!!!

I am from Ecuador and did the same thing ... I had the Atrix 4G but this sucks ... I can not believe no one has been able to break the security of motorola ... come on guys I know you can do it ... Now I'm stuck with a phone that has no root and I can not do anything .....

Research then buy?

I can live without root.. But not moving apps to sdcard.. Really?
Hopefully JB update (whenever) fixes the move to sd problem. If not, oh well.. I'll just go buy a phone from the pawn shop lol

I can live without doing both. Sure it'd be nice but it's not making me hate having traded in an iPhone. This is still loads better.

I love rootable Androids and have not owned one that couldn't be rooted. Even though there's no root for the HD, YET -crosses fingers-, I'm still finding it much more enjoyable than any other phone I've used. Especially an iPhone.

Quite right, and in fact, doesn't really belong anywhere.
Thread closed.

I think I'm gonna start porting again.

And I won't break any rules this time, I'll make sure to ask permission from the creator to edit his/her content and post it on our device, and this will be the LAST ROM I will be porting, if I do. After that, I'm done porting and I will be upgrading to either the iPhone 5 or the HTC One or S Blaze​
OT: Which should I get?
(A) a Nokia Lumia windows phone
(B) An HTC One/One S
(C) an iPhone 5
(D) a Galaxy S family phone

I've thought about getting a Windows Phone. Specifically the Lumia 521. I love the UI and hardware but I think not having apps like Instagram would be hard (its my favorite social network). I have also thought about the LG L9.

The iPhone 5 is nice. Especially the camera. I would get one but I cannot afford it. I would get the iPhone over the One S, better hardware and the new iOS update should be pretty remarkable with Johnny Ive handling it.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. So 1 for One S and 2 for iPhone 5. The vote will end by May 15th.

One s, you can always count in devs for android devices. The iPhone us crap, my uncle gas one and so dies my brother and they hate it. It's worst then thus pine in my honest opinion

Good luck with that. Theres going to be a day when apple loses its spot in the spotlight and goes after everyone who jailbreaked there software to make up for loss. Just like im sure they had something to do with making phone unlocking illegal.

Goodbye SGM Community :(

Hey guys I just wanted to say good bye tp you all cuz I got my new Nexus 4 and gave SGM to my small brother. Just yesterday I got my Nexus 4 and now will be going back to my college with my new phone
I just want to say thank you for the whole SGM community and all its developers and guys who were included in even a little development for our SGM. I learned a lot from this community but now I had to buy new device cuz all others have costly smartphones in my college. As I said I won't buy Samsung device in future I didn't go with galaxy s3. Afaik. I am the only one with a nexus 4 in the whole college cuz everyone for the ****ty Samsung's s4 s3 grand and all that s#it. Whatever it is at last I would like to say good bye to you guys again. I don't think anyone will miss me because I was not on xda from last month. But I will miss you guys and I hope nexus 4 community will be like you guys.
Thanks guys
