v2 on the way

A lot of things have changed with V2. Here's a short change-log:

Tweaked Google Talk integration w/video. Is now more stable than before, with no noticeable issues.

Tweaked dialer interface. This one is a WIP. I'm attempting to cover all the blur parts that I intend on leaving behind in AOSP theming. It's still perfectly functional, just not quite done.

Email. Exchange integration is now implemented. It won't be using Blur or Motorola's backend. I've tested this feature with a test account from one of my Captivate users. No issues AFAIK.

Fixed camera orientation in front facing camera view. Also now truly supports 1080p recording with a slightly higher bitrate than before...

Blur "Social" app has been removed, along with all the filler bloat that accompanies it.

Vlingo has been removed.

GOLauncherEX is now standard, replacing LauncherPro. GOLauncher is smooth as glass! O_O

More is coming... along with deeper theming of the remaining blur apps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jruweaver:
Thanks for the update I will definitely be trying V2.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gregb777:
Version 2 is up!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cmccollough:
just got a soft brick after installing the zip. im stuck at the moterola "dual core technology" screen with "unlocked" at the top. Ive tried wiping data and it fails everytime. also tried to restore a nandroid backup but it also fails because the data cant be wiped. any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
factory reset
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cmccollough:
That's what i mean when i say "wipe data." it fails.

I get formatting data, formatting cache, formatting sd-ext, formatting sd/android_secure and then it just closes up and nothing is wiped

Also, when i try to format data i get "Error formatting /data!"

FIXED: Reflashed stock gb through fastboot and im out of soft brick.

What did i do wrong?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CHUI2CH:
So im using go contacts, what apk did I need to add to fix the stock contacts
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trvstw:
Been playing around with this and trying to get the contacts to work. The contacts apk in NguyenHuu's AOSP theme seems to fix it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
Anyone know why my status bar/notification pull down is becoming jumbled? I have attached screen shots to show you what it looks like.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I had that problem when I was using Chainfire's 3D app. On 2.3.4. Uninstalling the driver fixed it and I never had that problem again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
Awesome! Thank you so much! I've run Chainfire religiously on any rom I flash so I didn't even think it would cause any issues. Thanks again!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Are there stats for the 1080p? I am very interested in this, and what we have seen previously in a replacement olympuscamera.apk is definitely not 1080p.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
Did you just extract the blurcontacts.apk from the theme .zip and then use it to replace blurcontacts.apk in /system/app/ ?

That's what I did... No dice... Tried clearing cashe but still no dice.

Did you have to change any permissions?

I am shocked to see someone reacting positively to this ROM b/c as far as I am concerned, it is still in Alpha. I am used to a few AOSP-like-ROM hiccups, coming from DroidX, but this thing is ridiculous. Still, it is good to see some ROM development going on for the beloved Atrix!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Has anyone tried to flash this from official 2.3. 4? If so have you been successful?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
I'm curious what hiccups you are seeing? Have you even tried the ROM personally? I wouldn't call it ridiculous at all.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] rynosaur:
I just got a very half-baked impression from installation, to first boot, and (attempted) setup on. The installer messed my /system partition, Blur Accounts setup would not connect (ever), Google accounts would authenticate but not connnect after that, GoLauncher was at first completely blank, then on reboot showed the default theme, but would not not allow me to erase (what appeared to be) widgets. I have never much liked GoLauncher, but most devs in the past have offered it as an option, not the only option. Why not ADW Standalone?

After I tried to replace it with my NANDroid the first time /system would not umount, on reboot it did, but something was corrupted, because the poor wifi response/availablity from RedPill seemed to follow me back to stock, and I could not turn Wifi on without an error until I went back to recovery and reflashed a stock kernel.

In any case, stock 2.3.4 is so good on the Atrix that it would take a truly excellent ROM (*CM7*) to draw me away from stock for long. I am probably more sensitive to functional problems because I left stock out of curiousity, not a need to gain any functionality.

In any case, I appreciate the development efforts. I've seen other Android phone take up to one year to get really good ROMs ported or developed for them, so I not surprised the first one devs to take a swing at it are figuring out how hard cooking ROMs is! :)

thanks for asking . . .
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XGX5309:
Something isn't quite right with CWM. There was a member on atrixforums that had similar issues, and it was because CWM wasn't wiping the device correctly. After installing the ROM and using moto-fastboot -w to clear out everything for good, everything works. The installer is supposed to wipe /system /cache and /data completely, but it's not for some reason. Also, RedPill contains a stock 2.3.4 kernel in the installer.

I'm not saying I don't believe this ROM is bug free, but it's far from being anywhere near as buggy as you described. Also, the purpose of the ROM is to DE-Blur it... that's why none of your Blur accounts would set up correctly, because a LOT of the Blur bloat is not in the /system directory of the install package.

If you like Blur, stay on stock. Because, IMO, to take a stock ROM and improve on it would mean to remove Blur... completely. :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gandalf:
Everyone needs to take into consideration that the CWM that is currently being used for the Atrix (being Tenfar's, both his old, and new one) are incomplete, not fully functional, and full of bugs, not to mention that Tenfar lives in China, so (I could be very mistaken with this next statement) but that implies that he is working with the Chinese model of the Atrix, the ME860 or whatever it is.

So therefore, I think it would be safe to say that even using CWM to flash things that require it to dabble into the /system /boot and /data partitions is not 100% safe. I tend to stick to using CWM strictly for boot animations, kernels, and small modifications here and there such as a THEME (not a ROM), system fonts, and other small things that do not cause a massive impact on the operation of the phone.

Personally I have not flashed this specific ROM yet. I am still running ken's 4.5.91 Gingerbread 2.3.4 modified ROM. It is the most stable and complete ROM running 2.3.4 at the present time.

Over the years I have learned by experience that flashing ROMs that are still in Beta is extremely risky and more often than not results in errors, bricks, and other issues.

All in all, I think I can be justified by stating that someone with a United States AT&T Atrix (MB860) needs to look in to creating a CWM build specifially for the US AT&T MB860 version of the Atrix and:

1) Get it up on ROM Manager

2) Make sure it is 100% Fully Functional prior to release. This is mostly geared toward the whole Nandroid Backup (which does not, and has not since he released Tenfar's CWM for Atrix)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
How do we go about getting a fully working CWM to work with ROM Manager? It seems that the developer is entirely unresponsive to us Atrix owners.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rynosaur:
I am pretty sure it needs to be compiled from source. I will contact Koush.

I will be working off this guide from Koush's site: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gandalf:
sounds good!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jruweaver:
Design Gears tweeted a while back that he had completely ported CWM RECOVERY. Might want to message him.

DesignGears 28 Jun Well, since my return to the Atrix a few days ago, I have gotten ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.0.5 fully working as of now!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
That's awesome! Hopefully he releases it and posts it up soon :)

Responses in bold in the quote.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MyronJ906:
I don't think jakew02 was trying to diss Tenfar or the version of CWM that we do have. I'm pretty sure the comment was just in the interest of improving our current ROM situation/compatibility.

I have personally experienced some bugs in various ROMs that I assume is the result of CWM not doing wipes properly because when I do wipe in Fastboot first, I have 0 issues.

I had to do that for this ROM (Redpill) and I do enjoy it. It gets me through my daily use and I know that the creator is making an active effort to minimize Blur and progress with the ROM which is everything I could ask for right now.

but yeah, I don't think jakew02 sounded like he felt entitled to anything. Just hoping to help clear the air. I understand if others read the post differently from how I did, just wanted to put an extra perspective in

[Atrix 4G Android Development] downtrodn:
How do you go by fixing the contact.apk force closing errors on this rom?

thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
Just use go dialer
[Atrix 4G Android Development] downtrodn:
Ill give that a try.. I know he uses Go Launcher, is there anyway to change the icons on the dock to Gingerbread style icons? IE/ Nexus S?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trvstw:
You can download a gingerbread launcher from the market
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
Still glad I'm running this build. Especially with all the problems CherryBlur 1.0 users are reporting. Someone mentioned that redpill was the rom with the most issues but I would kindly have to disagree. The ONLY issues it has are Contact Storage fc and the Motorola keyboard fc when you try to add a word to the dictionary. The contact issue is being debugged by Dorian right now and the Motorola keyboard issue doesn't really bother me because I use Swype anyways which is included.

Posted from my unlocked, rooted, & de-bloated Motorola Atrix (Olympus) running 2.3.4 Gingerbread dosed up on Dorian's RedPill v2 using the XDA App.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rynosaur:
Yeah, I'm completely in agreement. "Ripping On" and "criticising" are two entirely different things, and the logic: "Thou shalt not criticize unless one can exceed the performance of the one who's work is being criticized" only holds true in a military dictatorship, so if you think it's everyone's right to expect the best regardless of personal ability, then XDA may be the right place for you. If not, I hear Apple is always welcome to take new devotees who bend over for what ever is sold/offered to them.

OFF TOPIC (sort of)

That said, Jake and I are working on a new recovery. If you'd like to help, please do. Right now were are specifically looking for a virgin stock 2.3 recovery and boot image pull (as in, the AT&T recovery). If you are good with dd or dump_image, please PM us or contact me on G+ at rynosaur74@gmail.com
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
would be great if you create a new thread. even i want to learn how to create a recovery for the atrix
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
+1

I'm willing to participate as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
V3 should be coming out soon with keyboard and contacts fix but I can't wait so I am going back to V2 for now. I have tried all the roms and I don't think any of the roms are as smooth as RedPill.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
I had the problem of having my contacts crash too, then I saw someone say it was caused by freezing the yahoo authenticator. Sure enough, once I unfroze it the contacts work properly now.

I don't know if Dorian removed the authenticator. If so that's probably why it's crashing.

Edit: It was Farrah.rio who brought it to my attention. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Can you please provide some details as to what you did and how you did it for noobs like me? I love that ROM and would like to keep using it. I'd love to know how to fix it so I never have to use anything else again..at least for a while :)

Thank you.

Edit: I don't see any Yahoo app in Titanium backup.

Can I add Yahoo Authenticator..as in copy and paste it using root explorer somehow? What is the apk for that?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
I used the application Bloat Freezer to freeze Apps I don't use or want running (this can also be done with the paid version of Titanium Backup). When you open the application it gives you a long list of things that can be frozen. Some can be done safely, some may cause unintended side effects if frozen. I frozen Yahoo mail authenticator. That caused my contacts to crash. Once I unfroze it it works perfectly.

If Dorian removed the Yahoo mail authenticator in an attempt to deBlur the phone it is probably why the contacts are crashing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Thanks for the info, I bought Titanium backup but didn't see any frozen apps, figured it's not even in there?

So, do I need to copy that .apk?

Is it YahooContacts.apk or blur_yahoo.apk that will fix the issue? Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
It's probably in TiBu as Com.motorola.blur.sync.yahoo or something like that. If you don't see anything like that he probably took it out. Ask him about it. He will probably have to put it back in, or find a work around.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
It's not the yahoo contacts apk. I have that frozen and am having no issues. It's the yahoo mail authenticator.

If you have root explorer go to /system/app and see if you have YahooContacts.bfz and YahooContacts.bfzo. If not then this may be what you need. You should also see the blur_Yahoo.apk in the same location.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
why segregate the community on 2 seperate forums? xda has a rep and is much cleaner... why not put everything on here
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
Variety isn't a bad thing. Everybody finds a place where they fit in.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
It's not variety if they serve the exact same purpose and do the exact same thing... If you're talking about the colour of the webpage sure.... but everything else, no
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
For some people they may feel more comfortable learning, asking questions, and talking about their phone in a community that does not border on elitist like xda. I prefer xda over others forums because the level of knowledge here is greater. However, it is not hard to see why someone new to android would be intimidated by some of the goings on here.

Small and slow works for some people. If we can talk with someone a world away on the internet why can we use the resources on two websites?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
Q&A forum?

XDA IRC chat?

Heck, I just joined this a few weeks ago, and I already have almost 300 posts and 30 thanks. I'm still learning a ton about android and the atrix.

I'd just prefer to have a larger user base interacting in one place on a day-to-day basis. I like unified communities.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
Looks like you found the right place.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] danjbry:
BUMP! Dorian just updated to version 3 and so far it feels amazing!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
+1 from me for v3.. loving it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pat123:
I am on V3 too! I guess Battery fix is not included, other than that everything looks good so far! Any idea which fonts are used in this ROM? I just love them :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
v3 is awesome ...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
Just rebooted and noticed this also. I can confirm a working fix using jug6's patch.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gregb777:
Noticed what?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
I inferred from his mention of jug6's battery fix that he was noticing no 1% battery mod, referenced above. Jug6's fix isn't the 1% battery mod though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
Sorry guys, I was referring to the battery jumping issue. I thought had quoted someone but did it on the xda app in a hurry and must have hit reply instead of quote.. I apologize!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Young Cardiac:
Anyone else having any problem logging into MotoBlur in the setup? I can choose to skip it and everything works but then after a while the home button stops working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
The purpose of RedPill is to move away from Blur. If you are a fan of Blur, this ROM is probably not best for you.

You will notice; however, that without Blur the phone functions and performs top notch and the speeds are incredible.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Young Cardiac:
I could care less about Blur but I thought the home button stopped working because I didnt have Blur setup?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DJHile:
Try rebooting a couple of times, or download moto-fastboot from my instructions above and then boot to Fastboot and use moto-fastboot -w then moto-fastboot reboot, hold the VOL DOWN button, select Android Recovery, wipe cache, then wipe dalvik cache, reboot and see if that fixes it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Is this built off of 4.5.91 since I want to use the themes Nottach has made. Anyone tried this over Ninja?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
flashed over Ninja with a fastboot -w , runs perfect
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
How is it munchy_cool?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] munchy_cool:
Nice and Stable man.NO FC's.

Just switched to my Captivate for some MIUI fun now,,,

EDIT

I am sorry, forgot to give you a feedback as I had said yesterday I would do, had lots on my hands, spent 5 hours finding the TF, then some b**r, so just forgot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
If I'm going from Ninja SF to this, do I have to worry about the kernel since Ninja used the faux kernel? Or does RedPill have it's own kernel in it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frankiedizzle87:
Market isn't working over data for me and neither glare some internet apps (background wall paper app) help please
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Mine doesn't either in terms of market over data.

Sent using my Ninja Atrix 4G.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pat123:
Does anyone know which fonts are used in RedPill V3 ? If not, can someone please ask the OP @ Atrixforums? Do not want to create an account just to ask that. Thanks :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
I would install the old market on Ken's new ROM page (Alien ROM). That should fix it.

Does applying sound selection waste battery!?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
It uses battery power to function. If you enjoy the feature then it wouldn't be a waste.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
i dont think it uses enough battery to be noticeable, though. like with heavy usage, i can only imagine it to use 1 or 2% max.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] regretz:
You should probably bring your charger and a spare battery with you. Cause thats one battery wasting 'task'.

Lol I did a test... but it doesn't seem that big of a difference :)) so I kept it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
These couple of days, my battery drain has been abnormal. I just got a tablet and have not been paying much attention to my nexus S, but strangely enough, the nexus S battery drain seems to be more now than I am using it less.

I have been pouring over my logcat for the whole of last night and this morning but I cannot seem to make head or tails with it.

Could any experts have a look at it and see where the problem lies, I don't know if I have caught myself one of those malwares or some app is misbehaving?

Much appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
Could some please help me have a look at this because its driving me insane, trying to figure out the misbehaving apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
Would really appreciate any help at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA-07:
You seem to be using a lot of activities/Intents without stopping any of them.

Maybe try downloading an advanced task killer from the market and make sure to stop several tasks as even leaving ur phone idle with them running drains the battery.

So yeah, try getting one of those and stopping the tasks running at times.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
I don't recommend atk it will season the same if not more if you have run away activities and keep killing them you need to get to the root of the issue. What does settings say about your battery use?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
On the settings > phone > battery, it looks normal. Thats why I went into logcat. However over night I am losing about 30% whereas I know with my current settings, i would only lose 2-3% maximum.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
Really no one? I got a Google plus invite for the person who is willing to help ;)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
Thanks man, did you wanted that google + invite? I believe that it is still open
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
I'm good I already have g+, but thanks anyway
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
I really do not know what to say. Initially, the battery was fine. Then I am not sure what happened, the battery life became adnormal. Pouring through the logcat file, I was not able to find anything wrong. I tend went to try another rom Miui to be specific. Found that that was not my cup of tea. I could not install swype to save my life. I reverted back to my backed up ROM, which is really a rooted stock build number GRJ22 and now the battery life has gone back to what is was before but now its giving me too much battery life??!! :D

My usage is very light at best, because I am still playing around a lot with the new tablet that I got.
