Let's make a big campaign to get JB's kernel for Atrix!

[julian_fern]

Hello guys,

Recently Motorola canceled ICS update for Atrix, but i'm wondering: did they started the dev and left middle way, or did nothing at all? If they stopped middle way, we might be able to use they kernel (it's what we need right now), and that would be awesome.

Ofc, Motorola won't release them easily. But what if we ask? What if we make a campaign on social networks and Android websites, and make it really loud? I'm sure i saw this happening for other stuffs, so why not our phone?

My idea is pretty simple:
We setup a hotsite with a simple message and users just have to click on the button referent to his social network to share the campaign. On Twitter, we can mention Motorola's profile, to be sure they are hearing us.

I already have the template ready, and it looks kinda like this: http://takemymoneyhbo.com/tweetit.php

I also have a VPS with Nginx + microcache, PHP-FPM and APC ready to go, so it's able to handle a big spikes of traffic (Digg/Reddit effect). What i need right now is the domain and, ofc, the message to be posted on social networks and on the hotsite itself.

We also would need to think about a name for this campaign (the name of the domain). Like i said, server is ready, template is ready, we only need the messages and a domain, since i can't pay for that at the moment.

As an alternative, we could also use this idea to get JB officially, but i think most of us would install a custom ROM anyway.

List of suggested domains so far:

• icanhasdrivers.com
• icanhasics.com
• retakemotoatrix.com
• myphonecanhasICS.com
• weonlyneedyourkernel.com
• updatemymoto.com (the chosen one)

What do you guys think? Worth doing it? Anyone up to pay for the domain? I will setup a donation button, if anyone is up for paying a domain, just donate

EDIT: The name of the campaign will be Update My Moto! The message for the hotsite and how it looks, can be see here: http://i48.tinypic.com/51eb95.png

As soon as we get the domain, i will close this thread and create a official one for the campaign. Let's rock guys!

Obs: sorry for my English.

might work if you also include other way to file a complaint against moto like via BBB. Motorola might not care about us when we complain to them but moto might care about losing the BBB accreditation. So include other methods like that.

You can count me in on making as much noise as we can on the matter.

I think it is worth trying. I doubt we would succeed. But worth trying anyway.

So all you need is a domain? No hosting account?

What about:

icanhasdrivers.com or icanhasics.com

Why you doubt it will succeed? I can try to get it on Gizmodo and lots of other bug websites, since i myself own a big Ubuntu website at Brazil. I think we can make this get pretty big, and Motorola would end up listening.

Yes. We need to come up with a good name for the campaign and a good domain. I also need someone to pay for the domain, since with all the servers i already pay and other stuffs, i'm pretty much out of money haha

Oh, we also need a message that cause impact.

What about:

icanhasdrivers.com or icanhasics.com

What is "BBB"? I'm sorry, don't think i know it. But as long as it have a share-able link, i'm able to add it.

"BBB" Stands for the Better Business Bureau. It's a consumer agency that takes complaints and helps direct it at the appropriate place. They work with the company and consumer to resolve the dispute. They cover businesses ranging from carpet cleaning to food to cell phone companies. Some companies tout their high rating with the BBB, like a report card, so they value it staying high.

How about retakemotoatrix.com or nomoremotofail.com

I kinda like the ring to "RetakeMotoAtrix"

How about retakemotoatrix.com or nomoremotofail.com

we need to gather more moto users (photon, etc)

myphonecanhasICS
icanhasics.com --> the best so far

 

[rmkilc]

Vote me in. I have already tweeted with hashtag #motofail

Anything with "icanhas" it's too meme-ish to be taken seriously, IMO.

I doubt Motofail will care about all the noise.

I'm sick and tired of these corporations/companies walking all over dedicated customers and getting away with it, so you can count me in as well. Even if we don't succeed, I'd be glad to get back at this lying, backstabbing company with some negative publicity.

 

[upndwn4par]

I don't think it will work because big corporations are stupid. They look at us and think they have only pissed off a few thousand users. They forget that people like us tend to be tech support/advisers for our friends and family.

I agree with jhonnyx that we will need support from other device groups too. I know the Photon got screwed, but what other devices? It would be helpful to post in their forums as well. This should also not be limited to xda. There are many other forums as well. Maybe once we get a little more organized. This will have to be a huge effort to succeed.

This campaign will also have to be clean and catchy. Nothing related to motofail. Motorola will never draw attention or succumb to anything like this.

Why not motoupgwanted... That way it could be used for more then just us?

All you need is domain? Cost what $10 a year, why not set up donation button I'm sure you can get 20 of us to give .50 cents (cost est)

I have already submitted the following post in the usual Atrix ICS thread but I thought it would be useful in this tread as well.

"Just wanted to provide another pointer as to why it is possible to take legal actions and possibly criminal prosecution, in countries where it applies, against Google/Motorola. Security fixes, rather the lack of, from GB 2.3.4 to JB 4.0.1. You want to remember the latest security flaw in Android about a crafted web page that can wipe Android phones without a possibility to recover the lost data.

Why Atrix users should be left without the security fixes and how Google will propose a solution?"

Furthermore to what I have said in above I am certain that only a legal campaign will solve this problem, anything else would be waste of energy.

We already have enough valid technical reasons to argue the case but we need members with legal expertise in matters like this. In my opinion launching two legal precedents, one in Europe and the other in USA, would get us to a proper settlement. Please remember this is not really about just Atrix whereas about two corporates that ripped off consumers without a shame in bright day light.

 

[BigMatza]

Hey Motorola, just give us the drivers we want, and step away from the Atrix!
Seriously, is that too much to ask?

 

[maajstor]

Count me in.

However, I also don't believe Moto will deliver. But if we can make some bad publicity to them, let's do it. They deserve it.

And...

Anything with "icanhas" it's too meme-ish to be taken seriously, IMO.

... I agree.
