With few tweaks Alien has pretty good cfbench. With faux123 0.1.7 kernel.

Not using SetCpu are OCing @ all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PeeCZa:
Hi, I need help. I was flashing Alien Rom by this tutorial, but something is wrong. The phone ca'nt boot to me. I did everything step by step, i rooted first, and i did it with alternate CWM... If anybody can help me, i will donate. THX a lot!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
More info would be better like where r u stuck right now. R u stuck in the boot screen or stuck in a boot loop. Which android recovery did u use for flashing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PeeCZa:
I used this http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-rom-installation-guide and i used Alternate CWM...And it stucks in a boot loop... It was in boot loop for an hour, so i put out the battery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
There might be two plausible cases. U didn't do a clean wipe or the download of the rom might have been corrupt. Try a full wipe , fresh download of the rom, do a hash check on the rom if u can, clean install and then full wipe again.

wipe using fastboot and using recovrry wipe cache dalvik cache and data.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PeeCZa:
Could you describe it a little bit more, please? I'm NOOB.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
I assume you have unlocked your device properly, if u had followed all of the instructions properly from Kenneth's website. I also assume u know how to get to android recovery mode and fastboot mode using the hard keys (Power, Volume Up/Down).

Make Sure your battery is fully charged before doing all the below.

Flash the recovery again using these steps.

Flashing CWM Recovery via Fastboot

Download the Alien #4 data wipe version again. Check if the download is completed properly. Sorry but kenneth has not uploaded any md5 or sha1 checksums for hash checking. So u got to trust ur download.

Do a full wipe using these instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17656035&postcount=5

Install kenneth's Alien #4 rom using the CWM

Full wipe of phone again using the above instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17656035&postcount=5

Reboot

Hope it works for you.

Any plans on modifying this ROM for international phones?

Europe is getting the Atrix in just a couple of weeks and I believe sales will explode. So, im hoping for the devs to start considering the people overseas soon!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ultim:
Its been out in the uk for months and ive been using this rom on my uk atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] greenolive:
I thought that the UK versions were imported Atrix 4G's. Are you saying that the one released in the UK has been tweaked for the european market specifically?

Then the one soon to be released in Sweden should be identical. Hope so,

Those are the instructions for P-roms. Please search for info to unlock your bootloader, then read directions for flashing actual roms/kernels. The info is out there.

He has a Bionic. Alien isn't so bad as it sits :), but CM7 beta is better for my tastes.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] NguyenHuu:
alien is indeed good as it stands, but eventually we get bored and want something more up-to-date, short of buying a new phone haha.

i'm also waiting for CM to get more stable before I try it as a daily rom. I've had it on all 5 of my previous android phones, it's good.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
I know Ken has a photon, but I thought he was still supporting the atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Ok someone help me out here i have atrix runinng 2.3.4, i rooted it, so can i put alien build on here like regular without having an unlocked bootloader?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PeeCZa:
THX a lot. But I probably haven't done the botloader unlock. Will this tutorial work for me..?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
*facepalm...... no, you have to be unlocked to flash a ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Souldn't everyone be on CM7 by now? It's been like a month since the last update for this thing...CM7 is great and it has had the most work put into it to get it working out of most things for the Atrix. Why do people still bother with this this old thread? I don't understand.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lfventura:
is CM working with webtop, multimedia dock and the digital sensor?

I think this answers your question. lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Hydrohs:
But how many people actually need to be able to use those things?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Well apparently alot do since this is still a common used rom
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
I do. I use WebTop for work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Ok so even though im rooted i still have to unlock bootloader to flash a rom because b4 2.3.4 i could flash rom without an unlocked bootloader. And if i have to not a big issue at all. Anyways i want to try cm7 also so ill probably have to but if i dont then i dont see the purpose of doing it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pederb:
Me too, everyday
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I think you mean before 2.3.4 you could flash a "theme"... big difference between that and a ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
No i ran gingerblur which was a rom and on my old captivate i flashed roms without unlocked bootloaders come on man didnt u own this phone before the unlocked bootloader days. So apprently we have miss communication i know the diff between roms and themes been around the block a while lol thx for the help though
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yes, we do have a miss-communication. You think that Gingerblur was a ROM. It was a theme. A very good theme, with hacks, build.prop edits, etc., but still a theme. It started to be called a P-ROM (pusdo rom), but was still just a good theme w/ extras.

Ask yourself, did gingerblur have a bootloader image? Don't have to believe me, go ahead and try flashing this rom with a locked bootloader, and let us know how that goes for you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ltdanno360:
yea but (no webtop!dealbreaker i use it 10hoursa day or more!

KP has not posted here for quite some time... Has he abandoned Alien? Yeah, I know, we are not supposed to "bug" the devs. At the least he could issue a statement that says whether or not he is still supporting it. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s1mpd1ddy:
This is by far one of the most stablest roms available. Its my daily driver, and KP puts out excellent work. CM7 is cool... but no webtop = no go for me. Until it has webtop, I'll be sticking with this rom.

As far as KP's status, I dont know where he's been, but I'm pretty sure he's busy with school (I remember reading in a post somewhere that he's actually a LIT major?), and he is also dev'ing for other phones. I'm sure once CM7 comes out of beta, he'll probably release something stellar based off that.

Of course, this is all speculation lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
"Of course, this is all speculation lol."

Precisely why KP should go on record to clear the air...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] J-man67:
I have seen him post elsewhere recently. Not sure why he is silent in this post...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I am happy with this ROM. Will switch to CM7 when it becomes stable, there seem to be minor issues still there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
KP has apparently moved on from the Atrix... he's on the Bionic forum now.

Can't say I blame him.

Alien is very stable and CM7 is getting better all the time.

Not much more to really do here.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ishamm:
i have a tmobile atrix, just installed alien, and it looks great, but when i try to log into motoblur i get the error "There is a problem with the clock on this device. Please contact customer service." is there a work around for this? i assume its because alien is built on the AT&T firmware? if there is no way to use motoblur, and get my apps back, do other roms work for tmobile better, eg CM7? many thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] J-man67:
I have been running the beta release with zero issues. No pressure, just saying haha!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] freshbakd:
KP is working on other things as well I assume he will come back to this later maybe after cm7 is fully working to make an aosp type rom based off that but I was messing around the forum for a friend and I think he is working on unlocking a different moto phone using his experience with the atrix I ran alien for awhile loving cm7 and still appreciate his work put in
[Atrix 4G Android Development] freshbakd:
Ah it was the bionic

Well after little testing I've loaded ext4 convert from Homebase thread on Alien 4.

Then loaded the faux123 v0.2.0 kernel oc version.. Now I've not even loaded Setcpu..

Here look at cf-bench after kernel settled in ..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] binhk88:
Do you use go launcher ex? and how about the widget with faux kernel? I always lose my widget after power off then turn on my phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FtaWolf:
Using ADWLauncher Ex here.. Well for widgets that don't load after reboot. Delete those & boot in to CWM then "Clear Cache" then under "Advanced do Fix Permission" ..

After it finishes then reboot add widgets...

See if that helps with widgets..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacotino:

Tried CM7 last week. Had issues with the camcorder video being too choppy, which is a big deal breaker for me, as I do not have a stand alone digital camcorder at the moment. Then, after a few days, synced my music to my sd card and started Winamp, and ended up with constant fcs. Even though others have it as their daily driver, I can't justify doing that just yet. I switched back to this ROM. Here's to hoping I won't have to wait too long for a CM7 Final release.

Just a warning to anyone trying these instruction who might, like me, not be familiar with fastboot commands. The step that says in normally helps to clean the cache/data with a fastboot -w command IS A COMPLETE WIPE! It sounded similar to a cache wipe I do in cwm, so I did it and upon reboot you are left with a phone to will not work...does not connect to any network, voice, data, or wifi...and will have lost everything.

Just a heads up...as I'm sure most probably already know what the command -w does.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] J-man67:
Good luck with everything man!

Gratz!!!! hey dude don't worry about it! School is way more important than phone crap... I personally want to talk you for all your hard work and all the time you put into this rom.. also you have helped me out of some jifs. have fun!!! good luck!

P.s as of right now IMO this rom is the best, i mean everything works for me... i will switch to CM7 when they get finger and webtop but til then Alien all the way!!!

P.s.s.

Fastboot

Yes, This will help a lot of people who are listening to erroneous advice. Even over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1222108 the dev advises to do a fastboot -w after installing the rom (post 275). He is either mistaken or it is some sort of a joke... I will reference your post to him.

Good luck mate! Offer, for when you pass by Germany, stands.. ;-)

fastboot -w erased my phone

JVogler, If you can boot back into fastboot you can use it to flash ROMs and restore your phone. Don't have a specific link but there are various web pages that describe how to do this. All the files that you are flashing need to be in the same directory as fastboot... just like when you erase / install a new recovery using FB. Hope this helps.

Quick question - I've flashed this ROM and quite like it but I'm an International user (as opposed to AT&T) and have read some comments that I should flash a different kernel.

Any suggestions or the latest faux ?

TIA
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I was actually able to still get into recovery and I re-flashed Alien#4 which was on my external sdcard and thankfully not touched in the wipe. I was super mad when I realized I had to start over, but in the end I am so thankful for the advice to remove webtop. I'm not sure if the fastboot -w had any help in my end result or not?

I have been doing everything to squeeze life out of my battery, freezing absolutely everything not necessary, hacks, tweaks, etc. and still could not get more than 9-11 hours out of a charge with LIGHT use.

I'm blown away with my battery life now! Anyone who was having 'X' show up as top battery consumer knows what I'm talking about. I posted it in every single thread related to battery usage and couldn't solve it. Just randomly was reading Alien thread and now I'm at 26 hours 45min 52 sec on battery with 5 hours display on time@50% wifi on 9 hours, 40 minutes talk time...and still at 19% battery left.

My phone is now usable! Xda, and specifically ultim for pointing me to the right place, helped out again. :)

P.S. - Also my wifi issues I've been having on Alien the whole time are now gone also. If I could just fix the coloring issues on the contact edit screen I think Alien would be 100% usable for my needs.

I just wanted to say that I've tried out a couple other ROMs for the last few days, after using Alien since #3, and I found myself wanting to go back to this every time.

So I did, and decided to try the theme this time, which I think is much better than the screens give it credit for!

Thanks for all the work you've done with the Atrix. I can't wait to see what else you might have planned for it, and if it's nothing, good luck with your future projects! :D

I just went through a bout of rampant flashing (not that kind!) and thought I'd offer some opinion/observations.

Disappointed that Kenneth has his hands full and that updates will probably not be forthcoming, I thought I had better start hunting for my next ROM.

Tried two of the most popular alternatives (that I won't disparage by naming) and came away unimpressed. No other ROM has the speed, features, aesthetic quality (subjective, I know), and FUNCTIONALITY of this. Every feature works and works well.

The ultimate Atrix ROM? Time will tell...

Thanks Ken for such a wicked piece of work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Aaahhh... im assuming you didn't try CM7 or Aura then.

No other rom has this speed??? You definitely didn't try CM7 then.

Not trying to bash Alien or Kenn, but there have been some great ROM advances since Alien.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] axial_pro:
As far as I am aware, CNET has neither a functional webtop nor fingerprint reader. Those are two pretty unique Atrix advantages to throw out the window, in my opinion.

I did try Aura and it was certainly fast but not everything worked as well as with Alien. And some if the evening just wasn't my cup of tea. To each his own.

I'll happily try anything and stick with what works best. So far...that's Alien.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n7slc:
I haven't tried CM7 yet but I have tried Aura and it's a battery-sucking pig. Fast? Yes. Stable? Yeah...it's fairly stable but man, does it suck the battery. Calibrating made no difference.

Came over to Alien and it's been the best ROM yet. It's certainly not the fastest but it's VERY reliable and stable. It's my daily driver and will continue to be for a while.
