Hello,

Semi-noob here, have done the jailbreak and unlockin' thing to My previous iPhone 3G and 3GS plus a linux user since 97' so I sorta have a clue, know just enough to get Me in trouble.

Anyway after owing a few iPhones and countless Palm phones and products I finally decided to get a Android device, pretty much for the same reasons most people migrate from the iOS to Android.So I picked up a Motorola Atrix4G from ATT a couple of days ago running 2.3.4 I promised Myself I wouldn't try to tweak to since I need this phone heavily for work. Well that last barely 24Hours. So here is what I did.

After a few Missteps and a soft-bricking I sorta solved on My own I am now on 2.2.2 instead of 2.3.4

Gone is a bunch of the ATT bloatware...and some of the Motoblur stuff as well, I think?
I used RSDlite5.3.1 to install SBF1.8.3 and used Fastboot to unlock the bootloader, Also installed clockworkMod recovery and Superuser is enabled.

I like this GUI much better than the bloated one that came on the phone. But My question is am I missing out on features/tweaks present in version 2.3.4? Can I step back up to 2.3.4 and retain My unlocked bootloader? What is the preferred custom ROM....where do I go from here? better said what is the next logical step.

Thanks in Advance.

J.

P.S. For someone like Myself who works on the road 5 day a week on average the fingerprint reader is a godsend....finally a feature that makes sense.

...in true NOOB fashion

So after My earlier post I did a little more digging and figured out I should put pudding's 2.3.4.SBF on My atrix...install went fine. Only wrinkle was I had to reinstall the clockworkmod and Superuser access. Tested, Rooted 100% and everything is working as it should....All the SU apps are working fine as well.No complaints.

If you want the fingerprint sensor but also want a quick low-bloat rom id suggest alien it works really well and its easy to install.
