What is safe to Freeze?

Im asking this question here since Im running Alien v3 with theme ROM and Ken has already deblurred many apps. I now there is a thread on what to freeze if your running 1.8.3 but I think we need an updated " What is safe to freeze in 2.3.4" can anyone shed some light on this? Trying to sqeeze more out of my battery life.

Thanks in advance.

My camera is force closing after installing Alien 3 and the theme. Any help?

@smoothtaste: Is that how Theme 3 is supposed to look? Mines looks like Theme 2, except my Camera is now broken. Did I install it incorrectly?

I just flashed the full Alien 3 (non-update) over my Alien 2. Then I restarted and installed Theme 3 and then after that, restarted and installed Faux's Kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ahager88:
I use Go Launcher EX with black gloss (have to check) icons for the dock so that's gonna look a lot differently. My camera isn't broken. Here's how I installed:

Wipe data.

Wipe cache.

Wipe dalvik cache.

Mounts and storage -> format system, data, and cache (have a nandroid backup!)

Flash Alien Rom ver. 3

Boot up. Setup blur, gmail.

Reboot to recovery.

Wipe cache.

Wipe dalvik cache.

Flash Alien Theme ver. 3

Optionally flash kernel (you can flash kernel before setup but I like to have a clean rom to nandroid from.)

If the downloads are clean files, then that will get you to success.

Anyone having a battery issue?

Love the Alien ROM. Has all the features that I want.

With build 3, I am having some battery meter issues. The battery meter never gets to 100%. The phone stops charging and says it's fully charged, but my battery meter shows 96-99%. Is it a matter of resetting the battery stats in CWM? I've tried running through a few discharge cycles already, so that didn't seem to help.

I happened to get droid 3 camera on my mobile and honestly guys my photo quality went down with it.

any way to install atrix original camera app?

which kernel will support undervolting with this rom??

thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Milenko2121:
I've tried installing that, but it doesn't work. I still had the stupid d3 camera.

Another problem I have with alien is my APN list never came back. Sure it worked, but it was just a single APN. I wasn't able to flash the original APN list ontop either.

Also, having to install all the bloatware just to have facebook contact sync seems a bit unnecessary. Should just allow the ability to include only the needed files to get sync.

Other than that, I loved the alien rom, but those few things really turned me off, so I went back to ninja which hasn't given me any trouble and is plenty fast.

My favorite part of alien though is probably the widgets being grouped up. It really helped. Also boot up times were insane with alien. I hope in Build #4 these issues are cleared up, and ill gladly make the switch.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
I used the .zip file in this thread along with ApnManger (market app) to restore my AT&T apns since flashing the full wipe version of alien #3 left me with a single apn.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
I have this problem too, once the phone gets to ~97% it takes another hour to creep up to 99%, haven't seen it reach 100% yet. That being said, my battery life is AMAZING with this rom. I get over 24 hours with what I consider heavy use (7 hours screen time).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
the phone charges 100% and then stops charging untill it hits abt say 95% this is a feature to protect the battery from over changing so some times you might no see "100%"

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jochenthomas:
something goes wrong

I wanted to install this ROM using ROM-Manager, but something went wrong.

Started today to unlock BL and install Stock-GB + root (Atrix AT&T).

Phone was working fine.

After all I downloaded the zip file and put it on the SD-Card. Used ROM-Manager to install the ZIP, but the boot sequence was/is endless.

So I started in Recovery mode and wiped system + data (data was not possible) and installed again, but again it was only the red Motorola sign visible!!

Now I am doing a Restore of the stock Gingerbread, and formatting /data is again impossible. At least Android 2.3.4 (4.5.9.1) starts... With Supermanager I can read /mmt/sdcard/data

What could it be, do I have to do somehting differently - or do I have to wait more then 15 mins???

Any thoughts, suggestions - thanks in advance.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
Well, you just flashed twice in a row. Let the battery go until the phone shuts itself off and plug into an AC charger (without turning it on), then when it reaches 100% or about 3 and half hours boot into recovery (while still plugged into the charger), go to "advanced" and wipe the battery stats, then reboot and unplug it from the charger while its booting. It's a little less than what others suggest but that's all I do when I flash a new ROM and it works great for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Always install new roms when you are at full charge to avoid issues. Installing at less than full charge is what mucks up the battery, requiring recalibration.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
That's a good point because now that I think about it I remember someone saying that the "wipe battery stats" wasn't working properly. But for the most part I usually flash when I have a full charge (while still sitting on the charger actually) and that might be why I've been having no issues.

How can I go back to the stock Motorola theme after I've installed alien build three and alien theme 3 (installed wipe version of build 2 and updated to build 3)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
When installing a new ROM, do you wipe data/cache/dalvik (all three) before installing and then do it again after the install? Which recovery are you using? Tenfar's? Also, when doing a fresh install there are apps I look into for battery drain issues like the stock "News and Weather" which is defaulted to refresh automatically. You really have to go through all the apps and settings with a fine tooth comb to find the apps that are defaulted to "automatic refresh" (if you have a lot of apps installed that is). Beyond these last couple suggestions I don't know what else it could be other than a hardware issue or maybe an app that you use that goes "rogue" often....:confused: Hope you get it figured out.

I've had the best results with your Alien builds thus far, with amazing battery life.

However, one problem, after doing a fresh wipe and install of build #3, I decided to use the the stock email app instead of corporate sync and I'm getting serious drain issues, even with hourly updates.

I did not have this problem with corp sync, is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Usually overnight I'd have a maximum drain of about 8%, last night I lost 44% in 6 hours.

For those having battery drain problems with Alien Build #3, I flashed faux's kernel and my battery life went from 10 hours to 24+ hours. Didn't know what was consuming that much but it was just a matter of flashing this kernel to make my phone sleep well. Just my experience.

opposite for me, was running faux123, going stock boosted my battery life by ~12 hours. However I did also change ROMs..... (was redpill w/ faux, now alien w/ stock).

The phone rebooted and then I deleted user data and other things I found in the post at page 120 in this thread. The phone now boots with the following problems

1- no phone

2- no setup

3- no lots of files including the file explorer

3- no possibility to activate wifi as I do not have any setting (so I cannot download anything from the market)

I tried to reboot and enter the android recovery mode but android logo with an exclamation mark inside a triangle appears and stays like forever

how can I recover..............

PLEASE HELP
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Sounds like you tried to install the wrong recovery..bootstrap was for pre-bootloader unlock phones. You want the fastboot install method recovery from either tenfar or romracer (search dev forum). I assume that you are unlocked right? It will say unlocked in the top left corner during a reboot while moto dual core logo is on the screen. If so, just fastboot flash the correct CWM, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and do a factory reset.. and then install alien again.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Okay I will give you very simple to follow instructions.

1. Download the fastboot package here: http://gititbit.ch/FAST

2. Extract it to C:\fastboot

3. Download recovery (not zip version) from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 (If you are on ATT download ATT version, etc)

4. Place the file (.img) in the C:\fastboot folder that you created in step 1

5. Turn off phone

6. Turn on phone holding both power and volume DOWN button at the same time

7. When the word 'Fastboot' appears, press volume UP

8. Plug phone into PC via USB

9. Open command prompt in Windows and type the following, word for word and in order:

cd C:\fastboot

fastboot devices

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery-dark-green-atrix2.img

fastboot reboot

Note: the name of your recovery-atrix2.img will be different depending on what color you chose. I chose dark green so my file is named recovery-dark-green-atrix2.img

10. The last command will reboot the phone..immediately press and hold power + volume DOWN. Once you see the word 'Fastboot' again, press volume DOWN until you reach 'Android Recovery' (should be 7 presses)

From here you should be able to figure out the rest! If you have more questions let me know.
