Great start! Got stuck in a bootloop on the first swing but after a good wipe and a second install I'm good to go. Rom feels fast and looks good...thinking about flashing one of the OC kernels but not sure if that .1 is really worth it....

Wow great rom. Excellent battery life. I'm on my 16 hours of regular used and still got 30% of juice left.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quicklyspent:
Try searching for 'boot loop' or 'soft brick'. Its covered a thousand times on a thousand threads.

Chances are you're not really wiping or you have a bum download.

Great rom. I noticed on the alarm app it shows both am and pm next to the alarm time. The only way to know if you set am or pm is by going into the settings. Very minor. Otherwise I'm loving the speed and look of the app. Great work kenneth. As I was typing this the screen shut off even though I have the timeout set to two minutes. Anyone else have this issue?

Ok,

If you HAVE UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER then these next few steps will work. Mind you, You had to have UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER!

Power your phone on and hold the volume down arrow

when it say's "fastboot" press the volume up arrow, now it should say "fastboot, Starting Fastboot protocol support"

Next you need to download CWM for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS Get the latest version recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip

Hoping that you know how to use fastboot in CMD here is the steps taken from tenfars thread to install the new Recovery Image;

-unzip recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip to C:\

-open a CMD in windows.

-Type: fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img

-Type: fastboot reboot​

Now, you have the

latest Recovery image

you can turn the phone on and hold the volume down arrow, then scroll down to the "Android Recovery" and reapply the Alien ROM by

You have to use tenfar's because you need to wipe data. You could also use fastboot -w to wipe data; then after you wipe data you can install via CWM.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Alien v2 theme causes me to lose service, and settings does not work either.

Yes I have wiped Dalvik, cache, and factory reset before and after. I actually did that multiple times in an effort to get the theme to work. I even went as far as using fastboot -w and then rebooting to recovery and factory reset/data from there. I know other people have had this issue, and I think all the advice I was seeing was "are you sure you wiped data, cache, and dalvik". That is definitely not the problem with me. Several reboots also do not fix the issue. The ROM itself works fine. The problem is with the theme.

<edit> Just went to make a call and saw that my Contacts FC's.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
So just use the wipe command with fastboot... ok, got it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
I suspected the same and mentioned it way back but was heard/read on deaf ears. I suggest you guys do a CWM backup before theme installation so there is something to revert/restore if you have the same issue. Also an answer to those asking how to uninstall the theme. Almost Sunday night so waiting to see if KP has an update when I wake up Monday morning...

Edit: I'm next to my router and not get full bar/reception indicator.

I had this problem, it was a corrupt download out the theme. First instal the base rom, verify if it works. Then flash theme. If it is broken, try to download it again.

BUG FOUND -

Missed calls screen has a white background and white font so you cannot see who you've missed calls from.

Also reported a few pages back, on the text messaging interface where you start to type in a name and the phone automatically drops down a list of matches.... the textbox has a white background and a white font. The dropdown however has a visible font so its not as big a deal as the missed calls is.

I love it... its amazing... mad props to kenneth...

Iv not installed the theme yet cuz im a little worried about these colour bugs not being able to read due to the background and font being the same... tho id love to have green and black... thats a very sexy combination... so guess imma stick to the original blue colours for now... UNLESS... there is a way to put on a theme then take it off if one doesnt like it...???

Not totally sure why so many people do not have service after flashing the theme, I have flashed Alien v2 ROM and the Alien Theme v2 and I have absolutely no issues except the small theming issues (white text on white background in contacts and camera)

I've posted the method I used to install this ROM to help mitigate the frequency of issues for most people

My Installation Method Leading Me To NO Issues Using Tenfar's Latest CWM and The Most Up-To-Date Pudding Unlocked Bootloader:

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe Cache

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Reboot Recovery

Install ZIP From SD Card

Reboot System

LET THE PHONE FULLY BOOT UP TO THE MOTOBLUR SETUP

Press Menu and SKIP SETUP

Press NEXT to bypass MotoBlur Setup

Once at the HomeScreen, LET THE PHONE SIT AND BUILD IT'S SYSTEM FILES

After roughly 10 minutes, Go To Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Press Menu and choose Reset to Default

Once APN's are reset, Go to Settings -> Accounts ADD YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT

[*]Once your Google Account is FULLY SYNCED, REBOOT INTO CWM RECOVERY

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe Cache

Install ZIP From SD Card

Install Alien-Theme-2

Reboot System

Do not Wipe Data/Factory Reset after Flashing the ROM, since you may be removing vital /data/apps and other things in the phone's filesystem, this could be the cause of the errors. If you do at some point need to factory reset your phone for any reason, I recommend just following this step-by-step guide again

You should be good after doing this step-by-step

Again, this is mostly a re-iteration of common knowledge, but I ask all of the people running into problems follow this to the period and see if they still have problems.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
I had the same problem, this fixed it. Thanks! :D

I just installed Alien and the theme this morning. Besides that fixed Wifi deal, everything else is working perfectly. I installed the old market right away. (I had a horrible experience with the new market causing disconnects everywhere after I installed it right when it came out a week or so ago)

However, there is a strange bug where the notification bar symbols for Wifi, data, and data strength will change back to green, over to white, back to green, etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rynosaur:
Is anyone getting many FC and root issues with V2? I'm not themed, ATM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
@kennethpenn

I would like to report my experience since I Installed Alien today.

Im having absolutely no functional bugs, only the aesthetic ones with the white on white texts. That being said, my contact pictures havent synced after five hours using the ROM, so you might want to take a look at that.

The room is speedy and battery life seems quite good, but obviously, I'll need more time to analyze that correctly.

I installed the ROM, the theme and the bloatware, this last part mostly because people reported bugs with email and other BLUR functions without the bloatware, so you might want to take a look at the selection of things you are removing. It's important to note I fully completed the BLUR setup and rebooted the phone between the installs of the ROM and the theme, also because of bugs reported when that step is not taken.

Due to being on a Brazilian atrix, I flashbooted edgan's kernel, and OC is working correctly, same as UV is.

I don't personally agree with some of Kenn's choices on the theme, but there are two things that should improve it overall, not just for me:

- The battery icon should have a more noticeable graphical element to go with the number. As it is now, it is too dissonant with the rest of the theme, making it ugly. Take a look at what was done on CherryBlur, that seemed like the perfect integration between graphics and text, except the battery level went clockwise, when on Circle Battery, it goes counter-clockwise, making it look a bit funny.

- There should be more greens where there are whites and grays. There's just too little color in some places, like contacts, dialer, menus, that kindda stuff.

One way or the other, this is obviously quality work and I will try to help with testing as I can, or whatever else could be asked of me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rubb:
Hi jake :) thanks a lot for your install method! I got more questions regarding it..

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe Cache

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

How do I do theses steps?

Power down the atrix, turn is on holding volume down key? Then selecting these options? :)

Reboot Recovery

Reboot from the Recovery and then enter the recovery screen again (volume down key while powering on?)

Install ZIP From SD Card

Wich one? The Alien-2.zip or the theme?

Reboot System

LET THE PHONE FULLY BOOT UP TO THE MOTOBLUR SETUP

Press Menu and SKIP SETUP

Press NEXT to bypass MotoBlur Setup

Once at the HomeScreen, LET THE PHONE SIT AND BUILD IT'S SYSTEM FILES

After roughly 10 minutes, Go To Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Press Menu and choose Reset to Default

Once APN's are reset, Go to Settings -> Accounts ADD YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT

Once your Google Account is FULLY SYNCED, REBOOT INTO CWM RECOVERY

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe Cache

Install ZIP From SD Card

Again...wich zip? :)

Install Alien-Theme-2

Reboot System

Again, thanks for your time and patience :)

I´m so damn scared of messing it around that I got nervous and now I´m asking a lot of questions. :( sry
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ClearFire:
In order for fastboot to work you have to change to the directory where fastboot is located and use "fastboot"command in CMD before you type "flash recovery C:\recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" so it should like "fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img"

For example; to change from C:\users\(my name)> to C:\Program files\fastboot> you must type cd C:\program files\fastboot in CMD.

cd=change directory

Here are the steps to flash the recovery image;

-unzip recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip to C:\

-Open CMD and type cd C:\LOCATION OF FASTBOOT NOTE:

change

"

LOCATION OF FASTBOOT

" to the appropriate place of the fastboot.exe

-Type: fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img

-Type: fastboot reboot
