I was under the impression the wipe function in this version of cwm was not working properly, and that the alien .zip had a wipe function built in because of that. If not I guess I should go back and do that...

@KennPenn This is a great ROM. My wifi works fine, and I really enjoy the alien theme. My phone is faster than it ever has been. I have had a couple issues I want to mention, not to gripe, just for informational purposes. The market updated, and then shortly after had the data issue. I flashed the old market and it worked fine but updated again on it's own to the new one the next day. The new one works fine now. (???) Odd but no biggie. The other thing is the webtop crashed big time on me. I only used it one time because I was worried the phone wouldn't come back. I was on it like normal and the phone screen and monitor both went black suddenly. Then after a while the normal phone display of a touch pad with buttons was shown on the monitor. The phone screen stayed black, and required a battery pull to get it working again. I will miss the webtop, but I will just wait for an update before trying it again. Once again thank you for the great ROM and all the work you have put into the atrix community.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrCoolBear:
Ummm. Kenneth, one of the launcher wallpapers, the alien one (which is beastly awesome), has a problem that is easily fixable. The alienhead background is a slightly different shade than the pure black which is behind it, at night or at an angle, the user can tell that you cut and pasted the alienhead in because of the slightly grey box that appears around just the alienhead part. Your rom is awesome, this is my only complaint :)

Bug - Call quality

flashed alien 2 + theme. my inbound and outbound voice quality is complete crap. I turned off noise suppression and it didn't help. It's so bad that people on the other end can't hear/understand a single word I'm saying.

Flashed back go stock 2.3.4 and it's perfect again. Same thing happened with HKTW when it was first available.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guido.rosso:
Bluetooth voice dialing doesn't seem to be working at all for me in this ROM, was working fine in stock. Anybody found a solution? Is it related to the bloatware removal?

One more thing I noticed, it looks like you can't search in the stock email app. If I hit the search button, nothing happens. Is this expected?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Yeah i was having same issues, i beleive this is an updated kernel read a few pages back someone posted direct link to the faux kernel orginal zip

[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
.97.00R came out around the time the beta4.5 did. I was running it and it worked ok, but It would occasonally hiccup, and it ran hot. I have seen no real difference on 77.30R and it seems to run much cooler. I haven't tried to go back and I asked the same question about 10 pages back, never an answer. But I think it is just more stable. Give it a go and let us know. I might try it too and see what I find are my results.

No at this point your best bet is to run the phone dead, till it turns off, then charge it while off till it is 100%, you can check with the volume rocker. Then wipe the battery stats in CWM recovery, then reboot the phone. (Please anyone who knows better, correct me if I'm wrong on this). But I wouldn't start all over for this.

This is optional but I feel most thorough. If possible, use the phone till it is near dead like 2 or 4% then charge to 100% while on, and in one shot. The point is to go from 100% to almost dead and back to 100% without turning it off and in one charge cycle. This way the algorithm that calculates the battery has best chance of being accurate.

What is your battery life like right now? I'm on Faux and if I don't use the phone much I have seen 16-17 hrs. If I use it normal then 8-10 hrs. On stock it seemed a little better but presumably with faux kernel we are getting better performance (not just the OC but the scheduler too). My WiFi, GPS is always on as is latitude. Those, specifically latitude will kill the battery, disable them and you'll see an hour extra easy. GPS pops on every time you open web browser, disable GPS and see increase. But I like convenience of having GPS all the time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] katinatez:
Wipe battery stats is in android recovery under the advanced section. I drain my battery by running hotpot tethering and gps at the same time. Let the phone shut down on its own, plug into charger and let it charge up to 100% reboot into android recovery and wipe battery stats.

Sorry about the lateness. I've been on a crazy road trip. When I got back, my identity was stolen: PayPal, Gmail, website passwords, banking stuff, XDA account, Hulu Plus, Netflix, etc. This is a nightmare!

Sometimes life gets in the way of leisure time. You guys are always free to attempt fixes yourself. Please be patient with me. This ROM is a third job after my schoolwork (as a college student) and my website management.

Thank you for the detailed bug report on #2. Will look for a fix in Build 3.

#1 is a setting under the "Display" settings. Also check "In Pocket Detection" and turn it off. That will fix #1!

I will fix the issue in Build 3. Thank you!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dictoresno:
regarding the battery, im still using your GB beta 4.5 and love it. any way we can get a definite battery fix for this ROM as well or will i be forced to use the alien build?? jug6ernaut's fix doesnt seem to fix the issue on your old beta 4.5. i guess i could always run the alien ROM without the theme.

Random Reboots after using

ok so ive done all the things eveyones told me, so heres what im trying now, i drained phone all the way, im going to re flash the ROM, by clearing the d cache, the reg cache, and heres where i have a question can i fomrat the sd card completely for a clean fresh install over everything, i have the zips on my external sd card, each time i have flashed this rom i have noticed my files are actually still there (pics, music, ie.) so does anyone have ideas on what to do from here, i think this is where the hang up is, it needs to be formatted from top to bottom and i thought installing the ROM itself did this, but its not deleting anything in my files. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mezzair:
Does anyone have any ideas why GPS wouldn't work? On international unlock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmgg2k:
that´s weird. With GB beta 4.5 the battery fix works fine, and also with alien #2 + theme.

first, make a Tibu backup (apps + data only, no system data)

try a CLEAN INSTALL: 1) In CWM (tenfar´s 0630), wipe\data factory reset

2) wipe dalvik cache

3) wipe cache

4) install the rom (any of them), (kenn´s beta 4.5 recommended or Alien #2 + theme).

5) reboot and wait 5-7 minutes to build new cache

6) turn off and go to CMW again

7) install jug6ernaut´s battery fix

8) reboot again

9) restore your apps with Tibu

10) enjoy! :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmgg2k:
that´s NOT necessary (format the sd)!

this is what i´ve been using for a while to install Roms without any problem:

first, make a Tibu backup (apps + data only, no system data)

try a CLEAN INSTALL: 1) In CWM (tenfar´s 0630), wipe\data factory reset

2) wipe dalvik cache

3) wipe cache

4) install the rom (any of them), (kenn´s beta 4.5 recommended or Alien #2 + theme).

[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Tried that yesterday, and yet im still having random reboots after use, alot of people gave me great ideas and i tried all of them, i use the phone, then lock it, and whammy it does a reboot (twice) this is before installing faux kernel and after installing faux kernel, so im just trying to wipe it clean and make a fresh start, cause i cant figure out why it still keeps rebooting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmgg2k:
are you completely sure that you´ve done this??:

1) wipe\data factory reset

2) wipe dalvik cache

3) wipe cache

4) reinstall rom
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
yeah, in that exact order lol, and still i have random reboots, someone on here yesterday gave me the exact way to do it, and tried it, and for some reason its still doing it, thats why i wanted to format the sd card. I did this let it sit before reapplying the theme, and it does it, tried without theme, does it, i havent got a clue why.

Also i drained completely, going to attempt this one more time. wants it is completely charged im going to unplug and do it all over, and not apply theme for 10 min, so that everything builds, then im going to play with it and see if it does the random reboots.

Do you have direct link for jugs batt fix also, if not ill ggle it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmgg2k:
the reboot happened before or after restoring your apps?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
i didnt even back up my apps cause i was fed up with it, and so i just do a fresh install and dont restore any apps, just start from scratch.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmgg2k:
why don´t you just try another Rom and see what happen. I recommend Kenn´s beta 4.5.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
LOL that was my next step to see if it was the phone or the rom on the phone.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
Sorry if you mentioned it already but what did you use to wipe the cache/data partitions?

The fastboot -w method seems to be best. It appears as if you face probably used everything but windex at this point though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
thats the only route i actually havent taken, i have been going through CWM and wiping the dev cache, and cache partition from there, where can i find out exactly how to do that, i realize i do it via cmd line so would it be like this

c:> (path of my fastboot), enter, then when it shows up fast boot put -w?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deggy:
When I flashed the ROM, I didn't have the modded stock Android launcher. This is what I did:

Clear delvik

clear cache

factory wipe

flashed alien zip

clear delvik

clear cache

reboot

did I screw up?

EDIT: nevermind. had to download the theme zip.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scaronscar:

Would it be possible to port over some different lock screens maybe some sense looking ones or a green and black one to go with the alien theme......don't know how hard it would be to do..

[Atrix 4G Android Development] PhillyBlunt474:
That uninstaller just flashes the stock theme back over any parts that he (nottach) had modified. Thus using it on the alien theme will just flash the stock theme back over thus getting rid of the theme. It doesn't just remove the battery % and no carrier mods.

reboot issues

so i installed kens 4.5 gngr rom off brief mobile, and i still was getting random reboots, so im guessing its not the rom, but i might try cherry blur to see if it does the same thing and if does, anyone have any ideas of WTF is going on with my atrix?

Just so you all know, and idk if it matters, Came from gingerblur 4.5, unlocked my bootloader, it booted up, i restarted it, had to reinstall the cwm, cause i was using a diff one, and then got the new cwm, and got it flashed onto my phone, then i began process of installing this rom. I wipe dev, wiped cache, and format /reset factory.

Any Ideas?:confused::confused::confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] marhodges:
Has anyone else had force closes with swipe? I uninstalled swipe, reinstalled, uninstalled and downloaded the newest beta swipe, but it still force closes. Any suggestions?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] primeboss:
@kennethpenn Is your identity issue all fixed yet? When can i donate again?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yeah the proximity sensor is kind of crappy. You can use a Build.prop editor to change these two values to something better for your individual handset:

#proximit sensor screen off delay

mot.proximity.delay=250

#proximit sensor disable touch distance

mot.proximity.distance=20

I noticed my option to sync google music beta is not in my account options with this ROM. I never realized until I added a new CD to it and it never showed up... Any ideas on that? Not a huge setback, as I still have 9,500 other songs that still show up :) just nothing I add new
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
You can copy and paste, but it is different than Froyo. Long press, choose select word or all, and tap the selection for options. I find it easier to select portions of text now than before. Unless you are talking about something else...

EDIT: It seems to work on everything except the XDA app (unless in edit mode). It probably doesn't work on any app that has a built in tap function.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] novaIS350:
Ken,

Love the rom. Outside of the occasional tmobile theme error message after updating apps in the market and the jumping battery, everything works. please please Please remove the motoblur photo gallery and replace with the stock 3d gallery. It would appear that Motorola simply don't know why they're doing.

The 3d gallery from the market does some wonky stuff when pinching and zooming. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
Thanks Ken. Great work! I have a feeling all the issues are cause by bad updates and restores. I always start fresh with ROMs by sbf back to 1.8.3, and I have not had a single problem with anything. The only imperfection is the white on white is call history, but it doesn't bother me. The only reason I am able to flash back is because I chose your update instead of the OTA leak. Thanks for the hard work and dedication here! You have made my first Android experience an educational and excellent one.
