I hope you misread that because doing that AFTER installing a rom... would uninstall the rom, so yeah it won't boot :)

I haven't used fastboot to wipe since I started making Aura. No problems here. Take that as you will.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Yeah, the fastboot -w at the end will undo ever installing the rom in the first place.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XanSama:
fastboot -w only does userdata/cache not system. So for some roms (example cm7) that's fine. But anything that depends on cache or data will tank.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
That's true. Ah well, to each their own.

The reboot apps are not working, and I can't figure our why :(

I don't mean to discount your experience, realarchambeau, but I'm gonna do a clean 1.2.2.1 install and just double check.

No, he meant the UPDATE file. Not the full wipe version :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] A.VOID:
thanks for the update!

applied AC update, and I lost Google music (I had the 4.0.1)

reinstalled, no biggie.

Diviance does this rom still have full integration of blur...?? Also can we apply themes to it...?? Sorry you've probably answered this a billion times but just saw you update so thought id ask... half asleep anyway... :p

Does openvpn work on Aura?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
No you can't and yea it does if you get the blurred version. Its also a couple pages back.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
It works for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bigworm50:
Did you just download the installer from the market and put your config over or is it a manual process?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
Yes I did and I haven't had problems with it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Aha! Well good to hear.

BTW, coming form Nottach's DarkSide (which I know is based off this) I'm really impressed with both the ROM and your dedication as a developer, Diviance. Thanks for the hard work.

I know you got a twinkle in your eye when an AOSP SDK popped up in the forum (can't remember if it was an SDK or some other alphabet soup dev tool). I know you're hard at work with Aura and have a life to live, but do you foresee putting that AOSP resource to use soon/ever?

Thanks again for all the hard work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bigworm50:
Very nice...going to do mine as soon as I update...

Out of curiousity, have you tried this scenario...

Connect to openvpn on atrix and then tether laptop/tablet to atrix...and access items on the other side of the vpn. I think it should work..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Savant:
I tried it but I haven't been playing with tether.

Calendar widget still FC on 1.2.2.1 ...help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
I had stock but with Faust kernel, did backup in CWM. Flashed Aurora and then wanted to revert to my backup. During backupprocess it says "Error while restoring /system", backup stops there. I have tried with earlier backups and same result.

Can it be a EXT4 issue? Aurora converts filesystem to EXT4? Maybe my backups are made for EXT3?

Is there any script runnable in CWM that convert to EXT3? (if that would be a possible solution?)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Have you got RomRacer's recovery?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
Yes "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3-atrix4.1", thats the one?

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

The funny thing is the phone boots and everything seems fine, almost. Root is gone!

But that is probably because not all files in /system was restored.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Were the backups made with the same recovery?

romracer changed how the files are saved with 4.1. Before the latest, all backups were .img files. They should now be ext3.tar or ext4.tar files depending on your ROM. Which type are your backups? Not sure if this might be the cause of your problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
Yes they were done with the same recovery. Or at least the last backup was made with it, not entirely sure about the others. But the last one is for sure made with this version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Debloat? I think it is looking for stuff from the BlurHome, but that is just from looking on my phone while I am at work. Try Accounts edition?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
All backups i made are called .ext3.tar

I´m giong crazy on this issue now! I cant understand what is wrong.

The thing is i start a recovery, it checks MD5 and then i see it begins to copy files to /system. After a while it halt and says "Error while restoring /system". Its the same with all backups i have.

I dont think i tried any of them before, havent had a reason to do it, so i dont know if they really are good. But Verify says OK. Please help me someone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
If it is restoring anything, it should be unrelated to the filesystem. Probably an error created during the backup which, if it happened during the backup, the MD5 would verify it still as correct.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
Yes, you are probably right. Only thing that nags me about that theory is the fact i have 5 different backups, made at different times and all halts, what it seems, at the same file.

Its impossible to see wich file that stops the progress.

I know HTC has full firmwares in form of an .exe-file. Doesnt Motorola have something similar?

This sucks. I think its fun to try different roms but i almost always roll back to stock.

Is there any way to restore the phone without CWM but using CWM:s backupfiles? Like push with ADB or something?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andy_Thatcher:
Very happy user here.

Can now change the theme with the speed inherent on this ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bigworm50:
Yes, I am using debloat. The calendar widget isn't a Google one? I really want as little blur as possible.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Sadly, no. It is the motorola one attached to the BlurCalendar.

The other calendar's I tried kept having stretched out image problems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
How about the Calander from CM7, that one's really nice. Also CM7 has an app that lets you change the Auto-brightness levels of the screen and soft buttons. If we could get something like that in Aura that'd be great. Thanks Aura! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
Maybe im on to something now.

I tried to root manually, with fastboot and adb shell.

When i write this command

"cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su"

i get response

"cp: write error: No space left on device"

isnt that a bit strange?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
Not exactly, but to be obvious, do you have any storage space left on your internal SD card?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
Yes i have a 32 Gb card. its completely emtpy beside from my backups.

I think its something really wrong with my /system partition. Even when i install another rom i dont get root. Apps that want root dont get it. I cant root the phone either with one-click solution or manually. I think it has something to do with SU.

Just now i tried erasing everything with Ecstacy42´s Motorola Atrix Fastboot Tool. Phone said sucess but one i try to restore a backup it halt at the same place again.

Edit: Now i flashed with my backup, it halts and says error. I reboot the phone and Aurora is still there but without possibility to root.

What does "Fix permissions" in CWM do? I might have clicked on that at some point.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
I said internal not external. As far as I know, the Atrix comes with a 16 GB internal SD Card. I'm not saying it's definitely your problem, but you should make sure you have space left on your internal SD card if you're trying to put something on there. Backups should be placed on your external SD card, though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
Oh, sorry. When i connect phone to computer and choose usb mass storage it says i have 9,7 of 10,5 free.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
Hmm, reading your others posts, I think I had the same problem. Now, to remember how I fixed it...haha.

What did you use to create backups? Maybe there was something wrong with the app you used and it didn't backup correctly.

Have you tried wiping everything completely using fastboot and starting from scratch? It may/may not be your last option so I would keep that in mind.

If I remember how I fixed this with my phone I'll let you know. I remember SU having problems and I remember something telling me I didn't have enough space available, but I can't for the life of me remember the exact situation or how I fixed it.

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

On another note, though, I flashed the new 1.2.2.1 DB version and when I first booted it up everything, including Accounts, worked fine. After adding a couple Google accounts, a FB account, and an e-mail account, I get an FC when trying to get back into "Accounts." I rebooted a few times and fixed permissions through CWM and ROM Manager, but none of that seemed to worked. I literally just got done adding everything back and I found this so I'd rather not re-flash, but it might have to happen. Either that or the DB version just doesn't like the "Accounts." I might have to switch to the Accounts version and see if that works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
storage stats

If you have Titanium BU on your phone, run it and the main page will give you some bar graphs that show the phone's storage status. I think that this will be a more accurate indication of the memory usage on your phone.

The latest iteration of Aura is great and I plan to keep using it on my phone... it does what I need it to do and does it well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hkkla:
In Titanium Backup it says under System ROM 324 MB (1,02 kB availible).

Internt says 2.07 (1,97 avail)

The part that says System ROM is a bit full.

I have a thought, what if i (or CWM) dont have permissions to erase that part? When i try to restore from backup it simply halts because there is no more space.

Could this be the problem? If so, how do i format this part? I have, in CWM, done a full wipe, including format /system. That didnt make any difference.

I have also tried to format /system with fastboot.

This is starting to annoy me really bad now. What have i done? What has happened? (retorical questions)

Edit:

Forgot some, in titaium bu:

SD-card 11,4 (11,4 avail) (did erase it just a minute afgo but it still had lots of space.

Ext SD-card 24,9 Gb avail

Edit2

LOL now i reflashed with Aurora. When i shut down and restart phone a boot menu comes up instead for the Moto-logo. I think im seriously f_cking this phone up.

Edit3

I restored from my backups. The phone works but i have no root and i have no initial bootscreen. This is very weird.

Edit4

Now its toast. radio isnt working anymoore. Time to put it in the garbage-bin. I´m tired of this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TRDregun:
I updated to 1.2.2.1 last night and did a full install since I went from 1.2.1.2

Now I am stuck in a reboot loop. It was working fine and I restored all my apps before I went to sleep last night. I am lucky I wake up without my alarm.

Anyone else encountering this issue?

Edit: just did a reinstall of full version and I'm working great again. Chalk it up to DEU error again.

Just started using Aura today, debloat edition (because I don't like Blur).

However, it is not letting me add a Facebook account (using the account type added by the FB app). I click in the add accounts screen and nothing happens.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Technically, in a Blur rom Facebook is a blur account type. Flash the Accounts Edition if you want the full range of account abilities.

I have read everything, I see what people are talking about. I am just a little busy today so I won't be able to do much.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] drmouse81:
OK Thanks.

I'll install the accounts version, but from what I remember Blur FB was s##t. Been using a completely deblurred ROM on my Moto Defy for a few months now and it's so much better without.

Guess I'll have to wait for CM7 to get released... in fact I may just use the beta if blur p****s me off too much, and loose the fingerprint scanner for now. We'll see how it goes. Thanks :)

If you can boot the phone into fastboot (see the link on OP for the PC utility) Fastboot into recovery or run it from the phone and wipe, then boot into fastboot, connect to your computer and do a complete wipe... When you fastboot reboot hold the volume down button to get to fastboot then press volume down until you see android recovery then press volume up. Re-install the ROM of your choice.

instructions for a complete wipe of phone (if your contacts are stored on the ext SD card you won't lose them))

[Atrix 4G Android Development] deifel:
Hello,

can someone tell me how I can overclock the kernel to 1,1 or to 1,3Ghz?

I have aura 1.2.2.1 on my german Atrix and it works great. But I want to optimize the cpu.

Setcpu says that I can go til 1000mhz - not more.

And when I install the Faux kernel for 1,3 ghz - I get problems with aura (widgets never works etc.)

So how can I overclock the kernel with setcpu in aura? Do I have to install another kernel?

Thanks a lot for your help

Greez

Felix
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
So your question is how do you overclock a kernel that is running on stock frequencies? Well, that's not possible. You download a kernel that has frequencies above the norm, such as faux's. And flash it using cwm. Then install setcpu.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
kernel kwestions

Good question... I was thinking of trying the OC kernel but I will hold off until this is resolved. Perhaps Diviance can make an OC kernel patch to apply that will not mess up the operation of the ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] deifel:
Thanks for your answer. I tried that already with several Kernels from Faux. The big problem is that all widgets does not work with another kernel...

I tryed everything (full wipe via fastboot - only update and and). The widgets from launcher pro works fine... The problem is only with the widgets from android or installed apps. On every restart the sayd: Failed to load...

Dont know what to do more :(

With the stock kernel from aura (faux enhanced 1gz) all widgets works...

Anyone a idea? I think this problem is not only mine - but i am the first one that noticed of this "bug" :(

Also, I maybe don't let the phone sit for a whole 15 minutes? Is that more of like an 'it's up to you' or will it permanently handicap my ROM experience?

First discharge after flash (and I'm calibrating me bat) and I'm at 77% after 15 hours. Light-moderate use. Wifi on (off w/ screen policy) and autobrightness. phone idle takes up the majority (63%), but display is at 30 minutes (9%) and voice calls 32m (16%).

See post 1708 on pg 171. I tried Nottach's procedure when I first tried to install Aura and it messed up the installation. It works on the Darkside rom but not for Aura. If you are going to flash Aura then I wouldn't do it...

p.s. I would let it sit like the instructions said...

Diviance -

Tested the webtop over HDMI, picker comes up when cable is plugged in. Webtop comes up on TV, but the phone touchpad does not respond. Shows the touchpad, L and R click buttons, and the keyboard button on phone. None of them responds, screen acts like its frozen. Sorry I don't have a bluetooth keyboard or mouse to test with it.

Wifi and cell data worked for me in webtop mode on lapdock. Other than not having the icons at the top of the webtop, all seems to be working. Is there anything else you want me to test/try out?

Nothing was changed in 1.1.1 for webtop correct?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Gotta use the Blur Accounts Reinstaller to add more accounts for syncing.

Wish I personally had one of the lapdocks or a tv with easily accessible hdmi ports to test this stuff. Curse you, flush to wall mount!

Hm. I don't know what I will be able to do about it, but I will try what I can.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jarsh92:
Diviance, just got done reinstalling the bloatware using your zip and I found out it changed the webtop on my dock. I have all the icons on the top notification bar except the 2 for the radio. Missing the cell strentgh bar and the H+ icon.

Did you use the webtop from Joe? the v1

I had the version 1 installed before and it was identical to what I am seeing now.

If so, I guess there is still something in the bloatware zip connected to webtop.

BTW, loving the rom, I installed the bloatware just to get my yahoo mail working again, and the rom still runs pretty smooth and slick, pretty sure I am going to stick with it for a bit. I will probably try the latest update possible tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
Yeah, I used version 1. You are probably right about that, I will look into what apk's webtop pulls from.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jarsh92:
Forgot to add that it killed the webtop over HDMI mod you had in it, so it could be possible the mod was killing the icons too. Not sure, just trying to give you all the info I can.

Again you are doing great work!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Diviance:
The Webtop over HDMI modifies PortalApp.apk, which is normally not existent in my mod. So doing the webtop version and then installing all the bloat overwrites the mod :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djteotancolis:
Quick question: On my launcher there are four icons but the second one is a question mark and if i click on it, it says application not installed. how can i fix that? and secondly my network shows only one bar constantly even if other phones get four or five bars, how can i fix that too.

thanks a lot
