[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swamp2:
Thanks for the further comments. Let's not try to get too side tracked on one ROM with many nightlies. I definitely prefer to steer clear of a ROM with nightlies. I'd like to let others do all that valuable beta testing and simply benefit from their work. Selfish - sure but uncommon - no.

Just to clarify some personal details that may help with recommendations. I've read many of the posts here from the devs themselves on their ROMs. However, slogging through hundreds of pages on a small handful of ROMs is not my idea of fun... I'm quite computer/phone literate but have not done programming in years. I also work in the software industry. After years of crappy and unstable WinMo devices and plenty of random freezes, resets and data loss, I've found a pretty nice new home with Android. I'm not afraid to experiment, trouble shoot, etc. However, I want a phone to USE much more than to constantly tinker, repair, troubleshoot, etc. I'd like a really mature, stable bulletproof ROM along with the ability to have GB and keep Sense. It is incredibly difficult for me to read the oftentimes massive features lists on the first page of any given ROM thread and distinguish it from other competing offerings. Despite being pretty computer literate, most of those pages are nearly entirely "greek" to me.

Perhaps there is no single best ROM or recommendation but I am going to continue to read all the replies here and hopefully get my choice narrowed down. Of course I realize no ROM choice is permanent. I'll just say again I like to USE my device rather than constantly "tinker".

Cheers.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
Eh, imo go with Droid theory (the guy just has awesome support) if you're newer and synergy if you've got the ability to figure things out and ask questions. Plenty of beginners use SynergyROM, I know this because I help them all the time;-) . It's probably the best Rom available for the bolt and to be perfectly honest if asking questions, learning and reading is too much for you, then you probably have no business messing with custom roms in the first place. I'm not referring to you personally, I mean this statement in general.

Edit: The truth of the matter for ANY Rom is that there are going to be bugs or issues. Even the OTA from VZW caused users MAJOR headaches. Like had been said before, nightly doesn't always mean not ready. Is it experimental? Of course. All of these custom roms are. That's the nature of the community. Always evolving. You should read ALL of the op's for the roms and make your own mind up. There are far too many variables for another person to tell you to try certain roms.

Gingeritis 3d VI, most stable I've run to date. Once Th3ory gets his new build stable I'll try it out. Truth is the devs are still working with poor code, so they are working their tails off to get us stable roms, all without any kernel source. Anything the OP chooses GB wise is likely to have issues.

You have not done anything wrong thus far. Which is to say, you haven't burnt a fuse by going to 2.3.4. OTA. As of now, you're capable of reverting back to 1.8.3. without any issues.

After reading your post again, I realize you probably don't know how to flash...

Go to our wiki (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Atrix_4G) and get RSD Lite (search it if you don't see it)

That's the tool you'll use to flash the firmware you pick out from the first link I gave you.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClearFire:
If you read the post on Kenneth's thread then you would know that ANY Over The Air, OTA, update would result in a hard brick. If you flash Kenneths ROM,

Which this guy did

, then it is safe to use RSDLite.

I would recommend

pointing him in the appropriate direction

rather then saying "waiting for the brick" since you do display knowledge of knowing what to do.

From kenneths thread about Hard Bricks!

How can I avoid this Brick?

You can avoid bricking your device by not flashing any over-the-air updates to Android 2.3.4. Instead, try flashing the 2.3.4 zip over here. Or, flash the pure stock images from here.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
So is it safe or not to downgrade ROM? Say, can I just download GingerBlur (http://briefmobile.com/gingerblur-rom-for-atrix-4g) and install it using CWM with no repricussions?

I never updated any OTA updates and right now on unlocked bootloaders and Kenn's Gingerbread
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClearFire:
Ok, Since everyone rather comment on how not to do it but not point you in the right direction then I will give you the link to a place that is a safe alternative for you.

But first I want to ask you if you tried to flash any other ROM like "Ninja v0.4.5" by samcripp or "Alien" by kenneth? The

Alien ROM

has the

battery fix

with it so it is safe and battery life lasts awhile. When I say awhile I mean I did not charge my phone two days and dropped to 30% in a 48 hour period. There is a script by Juggernaut that you can flash to any ROM that fixes the battery spike issue.

But if you rather go backwards to FroYo then here is a link with directions to flash, a new method, Fruit cakes! it's a

safe

alternative and you flash it through CWM never using RSD ever again. Fruit cakes

If you have any questions I would either ask here or ask on the Fruitcake thread.

HAPPY FLASHING!!!!;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
A

Thanks. That worked. I'm now on Froyo but still having battery issues. Problem is that Fruitcakes does not contain radio image and I'm still on GB radio. How do I downgrade radio? I don't beleive there is CWM packages for that. If I find radio.img for Froyo can I downgrade it safely via RSD or fastboot without possibility of bricking my phone?

If you have any questions I would either ask here or ask on the Fruitcake thread.

HAPPY FLASHING!!!!;)[/QUOTE]

You can always hard brick your phone when you're in RSD; loss of connection between phone & PC, power outage, anything that disrupts the process = (more or less 100% of the cases) hard brick
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
And for that very reason I try to not SBF my phone unless there's no other way. CWM and fastboot work perfectly fine. Besides that, my main PC is a desktop.

Loss of power = brick. That's why I only use RSD off of laptop.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jruweaver:
I personally have ota-ed(have the bigger bootoader) and can confirm that using rsd to flash a sbf that only contains a radio will not brick my device.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
why would you SBF a radio, if OTA already contained a radio update? :confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jruweaver:
For some reason after ota I still had the old radio. Tried flashing via fastboot would appear to be successful but baseband would still be .15. So I tried ken's radio sbf and it worked like a charm.

I dont know if there is a setting i can change or what. Im on cm7 RC 1.3 with the OTA MR2 radio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Most likely the battery is being shaken just enough for it to lose contact when you take the battery cover off, therefore causing it to turn off. Try to be extra careful and do it very slowly the next time, if it still happens then, I would take it to VZW and get it replaced.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddarvish:
i would think it has somthing to do with your phone going bonkers when you take off the cover. the battery cover has a 4g lte antenna and other antennas as well. if it is removed your phone might start sending an excessive amount of power to the radio to try to regain service and that causes ur phone to turn off or reboot.

Howdy all,

My earpiece stopped working. I used to have to toggle between speakerphone / back to earpiece before I'd get any sound out of the earpiece, but that hackery seems to have stopped working. Anyone experience this, have any ideas or suggestions?

It's kind of a PITA to debug... the only way I can figure out how to test out the earpiece is by Skype dialing myself, setting some music on the computer, and moving to another room with the phone. Would be nice to have an app that emits sound to the earpiece. :/

[General Questions and Answers] bridroid:
I don't what to appear facetious but your question is like comparing Haagen Dazs and Ben and Jerry's ! I was very tempted by the Incredible S but in the end I sprung for an unlocked Nexus S (super lcd) and I don't regret my choice. The Incredible S has a more tempting specification but it just doesn't feel right. It feels heavy compared to the Nexus S and there's something about the feel and the curved screen on the Nexus S that makes it very special. Above all, I know that the HTC is due for an update to 2.3.4 very soon but I've been using Google Talk for a month now, and already I couldn't live without it. As for the solidity of Samsungs, I always believed that they were fragile but so far after 1 month (unprotected) in my jeans pocket my Nexus is pristine, although it gets wiped and polished at least twice a day. In conclusion my advice is to not underestimate the importance of the software and the speed of ota updates which so far for me have been lightning fast. One final BIG question : is the bootloader on the Incredible S still locked and signed by HTC ( S-ON or S-OFF) ? If it is, happy hunting when you want to root/flash it - despite the availability of AlphaRevX. I rooted my Nexus S in the time it took to plug in the USB cable + 2 minutes . Good luck, whichever you choose.
[General Questions and Answers] TheBiles:
I never got fantastic battery life with the Nexus S because the SAMOLED screen sucks it like crazy. It would easily account for more than a third of my battery usage throughout the day.

[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:

[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Totally agree. I have an Evo 3D and Nexus S 4G (AMOLED) and the only reason I can't use the Nexus for more than a day at a time is because AMOLED eats so much battery when displaying white, which is in most of non-system apps/menus. I don't give a damn about the extreme contrast ratios (nice but highly inaccurate). I want battery life. My Evo 3D gets 15 hours minimum with medium usage, which is amazing considering that when I was using an Evo with an extended battery, that was above average.

EDIT: Also for some reason when typing on ANY keyboard, it doesn't register certain taps on keys and it REALLY pisses me off. On my Evo 3D I can type with barely any typos.

[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
If you have a BELL Phone you can SBF to French 2.2.2 then use NFhimself Scripts to get to Bell 2.2.2 and it wont say unlock. At least you will be stock. If you have any doubts I have done this from an Unlocked 2.3.4 Bell GB.

Secondly if you use a Bell 2.3.4 gb with Bell_IHOP and no boot.img when the phone reboots it rewrites the Bell BL and seems to remove the unlock text and effectively removes Bell_IHOP. So no ram issues just straight Bell GB.

Another way you can get back to stock is to use NFHimself's Gobstopper.
