for those of you who upgraded from alien 1-3 to alien 4, your build.prop is messed up and thats why Panorama picture mode does not work. (either force crashes or says "not enough memory")

Heres the fix:

Right now, your build.prop camera section may look like this:

If you did the pre-requisite wipes before flashing Alien you've lost any stored fingerprints and will have to reload them. Also, many who have had issues with fingerprints after installing Alien have solved them thru 1 or more reboots.

Not sure about your settings issue. I don't think I've read anything about that one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
He means reload them manually... not restore them through Ti Backup (don't do this). :)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] borguesian:
Agreed, however terminology should be worked out in Q&A threads. At any rate good luck learning... this can be a great place to do so.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Good Question

I have seen posts on this thread ranging from people saying that they don't care about battery life to others who say the battery life with Alien is terrible... (do a search and read the posts :D) and they switched to another ROM... I think KP has done great work and GingerBlur is probably his best effort to date. I am still running it and it works for me with great battery life....

Some people here are quick to condemn if a person asks too many questions but is this not what "development" is all about?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
I never had a problem with the panoramic. My battery was working fine now its draining like a drunk a saint patties day parade.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blaxer:
Borguesian, how are you able to turn on USB tehering, I keep getting "USB not connected" while the phone is in the lapdock.

I also added all of the stock APN's as you suggest and still cannot use 3g in the webtop / lapdock.

Thanks again for the assistance.

im running fauxs 0.1.9 kernel overclocked to 1.3 ghz and undervolted. my phones been unplugged for 19 hours now and its only down to 50%. thats after i calibrated the battery, which ive always done with a new ROM even before switching to the atrix from a captivate. i also have custom juicedefender and battery saver profiles set.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] k4zyn:
I'm not really sure if my phone's just a superphone or what, but I get about 30 hours of battery out of mine and I'm using the stock kernel and "stock" alien :confused: before alien I was using juice defender, which bumped me to around 35, but I haven't felt the need for it so I have left it off.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Clues

Interesting, you may have answered some of the questions that people have regarding battery life.

1. What rom were you running on the phone before you flashed Alien?

2. Did you go directly to Alien 4 or did you upgrade from an earlier version?

3. Are you running the Alien theme?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Same here. Running alien #4 (with alien theme) and stock kernel. Had the phone a few weeks, never booted it into the stock rom (latest at&t rom), never reset battery stats, etc. I use my phone a lot and still get 30 hours easy. One thing I do is charge my phone at work (so I have a full battery for the evening, which is my highest usage time) and have a tasker setup to shut off mobile data from 1:30am to 6am. By the next afternoon when it comes time to charge my phone I still have 20, sometimes 30+% left. The only things I have updating in the background are gmail, google+ (and huddles which I use a lot), and twitter (every hour).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] borguesian:
This was using hdmi.... you are correct that it doesn't work in the dock... I just flashed Home Base and the problem is gone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mormegil83:
i just hope when KP gets a break from playing with the photon, he brings some of that delicious landscape HDMI mirroring back to us!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] k4zyn:
Stock 1.8.3, unlocked, went to stock 2.3.4

I went directly to Alien 4 after unlocking with Automatic Unlocker, updating to 2.3.4 and installing RomRacer CWM.

No, I am not running the Alient theme at the moment.

GPS is not on unless I'm using nav, and wifi is on sometimes at home, not at work during the day because we don't have wifi here. My exchange account and gmail accounts are set to push.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] budh99:
I would like to see those as well!

My battery life is OK. Charged phone and Left phone on overnight (11 PM to 6 AM). Down to 91%. At Noon, with moderate usage, currently 76%. Wi Fi on, Data on, Juice Defender on Balanced.

I am currently at 1.3 GHz and undervolted at:

-30

-30

-30

-50

-150

-200

No problems at all. Wonder if I can undervolt more at the 1st 4 settings?

:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blaxer:
Okay I will give that a try, I hate to lose the Alien theme but I suppose I have to make a decision, theme vs webtop/lapdock.....

Thanks again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
I'm not trying to press the battery issue but:

I've been on the battery life hunt myself, 12hr's doesn't seem right when I keep hearing people talk 30+. A friend of mine with his Atrix is getting around 18hr with pretty normal usage, but that is on the stock ATT kernel from Faux123. I've gotten consistant 12hr. I switched to DarkSide and stock kernel my self. I've not gotten 11.25Hr and I'm at 41%. Much of it was while I was asleep. But the graph shows the screen on portions having a higher draw then the screen off sections. That wasnt' the case before.

Here is what I did:

Alien 4 With stock = baseline

Alien 4 with stock -> Faux 0.1.9 at 1.3GHz= No change

DarkSide with Faux 0.1.9 at 1.3GHZ = No change

DarkSide with Faux Stock at 1.0GHz = Much better But I turned off automatic time in Settings>Date&time> Automatically set time.

the Automatic time thing, Anyone who is getting poor battery life, will you check this out? Turn it off and then see if you get improved battery life. I found that in another thread about wakelocks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
I was able to do:

1.3Ghz -100

1.2GHz -100

1.1GHz -100

1.0GHz -50

800MHz -25

456MHz -100

216MHz -100

Also Before it was mentioned that while set cpu lets you go to -400mV the regulator only goes down -100mV. Sort of a safety net in the tegra. Someone asked Faux if this changed since we broke the 1.1GHz wall, but I never saw a reply so I would have to guess that your -150 and -200 are really just -100. In my experiance with the phone and talking to people, the CPU seems sensitive to UV around 800-1.0MHz. (sensitive isn't the right word, more like the voltage table is just closer to the cpu limit at those freqencies)

To the person that asked if we could go lower. If you have set your phone to 216/216 while asleep you may have noticed it struggles to wake up. And if you set it to 216/456 you probably will see in the time-in-state that it spends much time at 456. This is because the phone is doing stuff while locked down to this low freq. Any lower and I would bet we would get sleep of death. I saw it with my EVO. At 216/216 on the EVO the phone would never wake up.

But I think we should request what the sensation is doing. When asleep cpu1 is disabled so it is only useing one core. I Dont know if we have that kind of control over the Tegra2 but I think that would be a killer method.

Awake dual core 216-1.3 (or more)

Asleep Single core 216-456 (or 216-216)

Rom is great. Might be a while before I mess with my phone again. I will try the battery stats thing, to see if I can improve it. Under normal use, I can get about 15-16 hours before it's in the red.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zoso28:
Mine ranges from 10-35ma when asleep but jumps to 100+ at times while it's syncing I assume. Sometimes it won't drop down like normal though when I turn the screen off. Not sure what's doing it because better battery stats doesn't show anything keeping it up & watchdog and system panel don't show anything running. Wish there was a way to break down power consumption by process.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] elite_is3:
must not be a coincidence that roms ive used with 2.3.5 framework (if thats even related, im just guessing) have significantly worse battery life. As prior my battery was not draining regardless of calibration etc.

Flash RomRacers CWM Recovery. But first check /system/etc for "install-recovery.sh" if its there, delete it, & then flash RomRacers version. Then wipe dalvik cache, cache partition & wipe/format data, then install ROM (all done in CWM & all at the same time, in that order).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
How are you liking the AURA rom?

I remember an old Chuck Norris movie where he was a Sheriff or a Texas Ranger and David Carradine was the bad guy drug dealer. DC had CN buried alive in his pickup truck and left him for dead. The next scene showed CN waking up in the cab of his buried P/U truck, chugging a beer and then starting the truck (unlikely when buried) and gunning his way out of the burial pit to the surface...:rolleyes:

So how is Aura?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Lone Wolf McQuade.... one of my favorites; awesome scene too.

Aura is probably the best ROM I've used to date on the Atrix, 0 problems for me, and with all the bloat removed, various apps frozen and processes disabled from startup (check out auto starts), I'm getting about 600 mb+ ram free on each reboot... not bad considering im running multiple widgets. Only have had better on the CM7 pre beta build, which I will switch to once the bugs are worked out. But for now, Aura is the bee's knees. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zugshad:
Swift, have you tried out Seanz Homebase or Starwars ones yet? with the 1.3OC ... wondering how compares to Auras Debloated version

also:

Just to make sure, you are unlocked bootloader and rooted and whatn ot right? i recall getting stuck on the M screen because I thought i did the unlock process when I had actually only done the rooting one.. so just wanted to make sure you were unlocked as well as this would cause it. if you have done both, then yeah.. try the RomRacer CWM like the others stated.

Just wanted to drop in say that the MIUI camera 17 works great on Alien 4! It has a few options that the droid 3 does not. There is an anti-shake, burst, colorization and a pretty impressive autofocus.

I installed using the apk out of the zip file so I could test side by side with the droid 3. There is a modified MIUI cam that has FFC support but i havent located it yet.

I have not tried the CWM zip install yet, but plan to this evening after work.

No FC or errors. Pics seem a little richer and crisper.

I dont have any technical data to back this up as of yet. Give it a shot see what you think....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lilhaiti:
Did you just install this or did you copy it to /system or /data? I tried installing it and I get a FC when trying to open it. I have the D3 camera, should that one be disabled or frozen or something?

I apologize, I uploaded the raw files not the fixed ones. Dl it again. Tested and working!

I havent tested the CWM zip yet but just install the apk like you would any other app. Both D3 and MIUI work simultaneously just have to use the back soft key if your switching back and forth quickly.

With just the Alien ROM installed, w/o theme is anyone having issues with the contact edit colors. I know on the Alien theme, they are either transparent or black on black, or in any case I can't see them.

1) picture image quality on DROID 3 camera is still lower as compared to stock ATRIX camera.

Is their any way to install stock ATRIX camera on alien rom?

2) I still have that white on white bug.when you setup fingerprint lock, you have to put security code and at this stage numeric pad is on white and background is also white.

3) I have baseband version of 0.30 .do I update with one included on download page??

4) I have skype call quality issue where my 3 yrs old nokia e51gas crystal clear voice but my ATRIX skips words in half.

Is it to do with baseband?

Here also nokia shows proper network strength and ATRIX shows very little network strength both on 3g and widow.

Which baseband version is known good??

Rom is very fast and stable.only one force close but that app also is beta so no issues.

5) which kernel to install for undervolting. I dont want to have higher battery life but phone gets very hot at bottom where I believe cpu is located.

Depends on what launcher you use.

For the major ones, (ADW, LP) there are a bunch of themes with wallpaper in the market to choose from... go there and enjoy.
