I agree.. I'm new in Atrix world (coming from Nexus One with Android 2.3.7 by JRSoft based on CM7), and I have tried Aura, DarkSide 2 and finally Alien... And this is the ROM for me. I didn't found a CM7 for Atrix)¿, not even in his website, so, I assumed it doesn't exists).

With Aura, no battery left. With DarkSide too many FCs.. With alien, good battery (except when I connect to 3G/Edge) and I got lately some FC in com.motorola.contacts. I don't know how to fix it.. but using another Phone manager in the meantime, and no widgets for calling direct, because I get the same FC...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yeahmann:
I saw this feature listed on the DarkSide ROM too. Does this mean GB's native SIP is working? If so, how?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dell2:
Well I have tried CM7 and Aura, both are faster than Alien, but not as stable. Alien has the stability of a stock ROM, but just like the iphone and the wife at home, you get bored and want to try something new:D.

And you're not bashing Kenn, he even said he's using CM7 on the CM7 thread lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
Aura isn't a battery sucking pig I got over 1 day and a half from it. Cm7 is different and takes some getting used too. To each his own.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spuzzum:
battery life is good with alien as opposed to a couple of other roms i've tried. It also allows me to play my movies from my phone on to a tv via hdmi which not all of them do. And there is good stability. I keep trying other roms but they are lacking something or just not up to par and I keep going back to alien. Good rom just wish it would get an update however i don't think it will, seems like kenneth is working on other things. Good rom though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cyberdelia:
Where can I find an CM7 Rom? Wanna try, but if it isn't like the one for Nexus One, I'll be back..

Why DonT you let the people talk about the alien ROM in the alien thread....

[Atrix 4G Android Development] FtaWolf:
lol..

Then try some of features that other roms are using ..

They have them in CWM files to install.

Like Ext4 it converts & runs just fine on Alien also...

Then read up on kernels they install just fine with CWM also..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eTiMaGo:
Thanks, I have tried several ROMs already, this one is by far the best. I really don't like the stock motorola theme :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Norcalz71:
i apologize if this was answered previously in this thread, its so long that even after some extensive searching I wasn't finding the answers I needed...

wiped the whole phone clean using fast boot, including "fastboot erase webtop". I assume this deletes the webtop partition, and as this ROM (alien4) does not touch the webtop, it does not restore what I deleted.

So is the link in the OP to a webtop image thread (2.3.4 webtop fixed image) the proper link to the CWM flashable zip to restore my webtop so it may function once more? Right now when I plug the HDMI cable into my TV, clicking the webtop option in the picker does nothing.

ALSO related, an option on my picker when plugging the hdmi cable in is hdmi mirroring, but clicking does nothing. Is this something I have broken and mirroring should function on alien 4, or is the option there but it does nothing yet.

Just wanting to make sure I learn what to do and not do so I don't even up bricking a phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mraxido:
download the CWM file in that thread then the 2.3.4 hack hdmi and reboot. that should do it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] elvirr:
Does anyone have problems with camera app? Everytime i start the camera it shots in widescreen mode (3.8mp) and if i set it to 5mp it's ok, but as soon as i exit the camera and start again, it restore itself to 3.8mp again.

How to fix this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Norcalz71:
Thanks, sounds good, hopefully I'll have time to mess with that tonight.

Is the 2.3.4 hack necessary even though alien 4 (as i understand it) has the webtop over hdmi built in? I know when I flashed alien 2, it was able to just plug in the hdmi cable and go right to webtop.

As long as it's not CM7, just pull the keyboard .apks from the theme.zip and place them in your ROM CWM .zip (replacing the ROM's .apk files).

Coming back

As I said, I tested the CM7 Rom (I was a I big fan of CM in Nexus One), but I have to say: with the actual version of CM7, I have only 12 hours of battery.. with Alien#4 I have 24 hours... with the same use (even I used less the CM7)... so Alien is the winner over CM7, Aura, and DarkSide 2.

Is there a new version around, soon?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] defnow:
That guide I showed you...look at Romracers CWM. In that guide are steps to install it using ROM Manager.

I've also got this issue and when looked into further, it appears that the DNS address assigned by the hotspot to my TF101 is the IP address of the hotspot. Does anyone know if there's any way to specify what IP or address that is assigned to clients which connect to the hotspot?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] budh99:
My problem with CM7 as well. Hope the next editions fix the issue. I am switching between Alien and Homebase with great battery life at 1.3 Ghz as well.

Is this ROM international yet?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] polaris441:
No if you use default boot image/kernel. Flash faux kernel immediately before reboot to system in cwm.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cyberdelia:
Where can I get that kernel, and wich one is exactly for this ROM? I think theresd is a lot.. for GB, for Froyo, for... etc..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLockers:
Heavily reduced battery life with the new kernal. Am I okay to flash a new kernel after using the ROM for 20+ hours?

Edit: Furthermore,

I have lost my fingerprint reader and my phone will not vibrate on receiving a text message?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cyberdelia:
Where did you get that kernel (what kernel are you talking about)?

I can test if I have the same results if you share the kernel..

What radio you have?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lisaamybeth:
Install On International Query !

Apologies if this is inappropriate but searcing can't seem to find my answer..

I REALLY wanna try this Alien. I am currently on beta CM7 but miss the FP reader & the HDMI when connected to tv does not currently autorotate, Im thinking this ROM would work better..BUT Im in UK & read will not work on International.

Is it true that if I install Build #4 using the ROM manger then faux's kernal BEFORE I reboot out of CWM should that work ?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cyberdelia:
You can BACKUP before install Alien#4 so you go back if you don't like it.. but I think you won't have problems.. I'm in Bolivia, South America, using in spanish, and I have no problmes...

Alien has been running great. Usually has over 510 free ram avail and doesn't seem to run much apps in the background. Only thing is that my battery seems to drain fairly quickly. Not sure what to check.... I have widgetsoid running and have auto sync disbled and screen brightness dim script added. Heard watchdog eats up battery as well. Any ideas on what to look for or freeze? Happens with Aura and Darkside as well.

Gonna try a full wipe and restore and if that doesn't do it then a full wipe again and fresh install.

HDMI Probelm !

Hi All

I have been searching this thread but can't seem to find an answer so SORRY if it is in the forum but i have been unable to find it.

I have just made the switch to Alien#4 from CM7 beta specifically for the FP reader & hopefully a correctly functioning HDMI display. The ROM & the FP reader so far seem great but when I connect the HDMI cable to my TV, I see the moto logo but not the gallery pic I have on the phones screen... Advice would be really appreciated !

Thank you all.......

PS I installed Alien#4 THEN the Unified GB Kernel Version 0.1.6 by faux123.

Also, is battery life better than Ninja Rom?

I tried resetting it in the settings menu but it wont even read my fingerprint to start the reset process, i'm completely lost. I'm guessing i have to reflash the rom?

And btw it says 180-something used and 90-odd free :s
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Seems pretty low to me... how many widgets do you have running. Also background apps, services, motoblur, etc. Might want to freeze some things you aren't using with Ti Backup. Or switch to a fully debloted ROM like Aura or Darkside. Or if you rally want to speed things up, go to CM7 or ASOP.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] speedyjay:
Hardly any stuff running mate, no widgets, no lw. So just buy Titanium Back-up and freeze unwanted/unused processes?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
yes... also might want to check out Autostarts, which can kill apps/process from auto loading on boot (will defiantly increase boot time).

Read last few pages of this thread for Ti Backup freezing info. & suggestions:

I just installed Alien V4 cause it's been a long while since I've been on it. Then I downloaded and installed Script Manager and the newest V6 Supercharger.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] AllyKat:
I just have a few cosmetic questions about the Alien ROM & Theme. I would like to know about before flashing this ROM.

My Atrix is from Bell.

Other Bell peeps, are you needing to install a custom Kernel to correct processing/RAM issues? Which Kernel are you using to get the best performance with Bell? or are you finding the base install of the ROM is all you need?

Has anyone tested the Atrix's Entertainment Center to see if it functions properly with this ROM?

This goes to kennethpenn... the Text Messaging app with this ROM appears to be stock? Anyway that I could get the same one you used with the GingerBlur P-ROM to be used on the Alien ROM?

Is there a way to disable the Menu button disabling the Lock Screen? (I am sure some of you find that handy but its actually a concern for me.)

A friend is wanting me to mod there phone... I am wondering what people's experiences are flashing this ROM onto an Atrix still running Froyo? Are there issues or does it go through without a hitch?

(I want to thank kennethpenn for his awesome ROMs! and thanks in advance to jakew02 a straight forward install method. Its my opinion that anyone releasing a ROM should always include an install method.)

1st install

The first time I flashed Alien, the settings app was missing and some applications were force closing, but I flashed it a second time and it worked perfectly, so I thought I might've had a bad install the first time around, I then moved to Ninja 0.4.5 because media wasn't working, and when I saw you posted a fix, I went and flashed Alien again, and sure enough, 1st flash, settings app gone and force closures, and 2nd flash was perfect. I don't know what would cause the all the first installs to screw up, but it happens every time I try to flash it from another rom.

I too am very interested in this feature. It will require a kernel modification to enable the fm tuner and not just a rom update.

Faux said he would look at this, but apparently even though the chip is capable of this function it may not be hardwired to do so. This apparently happened with another Motorola phone. Faux was looking for a technical manual to confirm the chip's wiring before proceeding with enabling the feature. If anyone knows where to find this type of manual we'd but one step closer to enabling the feature.

For me Juice Defender created more troubles than actually solving the problem. Try installing watchdog and observe if there are some culprit apps who r causing the drain. Also u can use better Battery Stats app from market to see some app is causing drain. U can also trying setting up profiles and undervolting using setCpu.

In worst case and if nothing works out try a hard reset of phone and reinstalling the rom and then calibrate ur battery. Try installing apps fresh from market rather than using TiBu to restore apps. The backed up data sometimes creates problem.
