You, also, have to have the proper "rootfs" file to run it with magldr, otherwise running it with Windows Mobile is fine. Read the OP of that ROM or search through it, it was probably mentioned.
[HD2 General] mohammedhameed:
Good luck!!!
[Vibrant General] zenlakin:
Hey everyone. I am curious about a lot of you guys that are linux savvy and if you guys do all of your tethering, ROM/Kernel flashing and such under linux and how you do it? I am looking to install linux on a system but want to ensure that I can still tether via usb as I have to connect my phone to the wireless in my office so that I can get internet on my lab system.
[Vibrant General] zenlakin:
Nobody have messed with this at all or everyone uses Windows??
[Vibrant General] nykoh:
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and it is automatic:

- connect your phone through usb

- start usb tethering from the settings menu

- that's all!

No need for drivers or anything else!
[Vibrant General] dublued:
exactly what nykoh said above.

no need for drivers or anything. I use it on Linux Mint all the time.
[Vibrant General] kawika:
I run debian on one of my laptops but I don't USB tether, I just connect wirelessly with MobileAP

Awesome. Thanks everyone for the reply!! I am going to give it a shot on Slackware...
[Vibrant General] zenlakin:
I am also curious about those that are using USB tethering, has anyone had any issues with using that and getting any additional charges from your carrier? Specifically TMO?
[HD2 General] rustek:
Hi. When listening to audio over BT everything is fine. When using BT to transmit the audio from CoPilot everything is fine. However when both are running over BT the CoPilot audio is very distorted. Anyone know why this is or what can be done?

I did wonder whether CoPilot could be forced NOT to use BT.
[Atrix 4G General] Thewalrus0034:
Yeah yeah, I've seen the similar threads but they're not up to date especially with gingerbread released. I'm due for an upgrade on the 26th and want to get a new phone before college in mid August. I've posted a similar forum excluding the nexus on the gs2 forum, but I want to hear the other side. I prefer the 4" screen, but also want to root and not have motoblur, and I hear the phone lags when you do that. I realize the nexus s is single core but are dual cores that much faster with current software? I like longer battery life and an led notfier since I'm coming from a blackberry Curve. Can anyone say how the screens compare, I've heard the pentile display is terrible, but have yet to see for myself. Finally I'm told that the atrix does not have neon support, is that a difference for the average user? Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
I've had a nexus s and it does not lag at all, neither does my atrix. Single core or dual core it doesn't seem to make a difference to me. In my experience the atrix has better battery life. As far as the screens go that's a matter of opinion, the samoled seems more vibrant but is utterly useless in sunlight. As much as I hate BLUR, I chose the atrix over the nexus s and once we have an AOSP Rom I will have no regrets whatsoever.
[Atrix 4G General] Dell2:
I had the nexus s, it wasn't much of an improvement over my custom rommed Captivate, so I took it back. I was also looking forward to the Galaxy S2's release in America, until I got Gingerbread on my Atrix. There is no way the GS2 will be a substantial improvement over my Atrix now.

The Motorola Atrix was voted as the best phone at CES, and with Gingerbread it lives up to those accolades. Froyo and the ridiculous price of the lapdock killed this phone's initial release.

Take a look at the top results on Smartbench 2011, there is a reason Samsung delayed the GS2's release and overclocked it to 1.2ghz. Once the Atrix gets overclocked to 1.5ghz, those top results will change.
[Atrix 4G General] Wond3r:
So will the battery life lol
[Atrix 4G General] Thewalrus0034:
Also, does the lack of NEON support make a difference for the average user?

EDIT: reread my post, thought I didn't include the question, reread it again, realized I did.
[Atrix 4G General] RogerPodacter:
I was worried about lack of neon. But honestly it doesn't even matter at this point in time, apps don't even come close to making neon cpu make any difference whatsoever.

By the way, just got an atrix today! Found craigslist superb deal. :)
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
If you want to play normal or hi profile x264 it does.

Really annoying to have to re-encode to baseline x264. For xxxx's sake this phone can push 3D pixels like Samurai Vengeance II but can't handle HD video encoding, WTF.
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
I had nexus so and atrix together for two weeks. There is major performance difference between the two. Nexus s's 512 mb ram was the deal breaker for me, it was not enough. I think I'm spoiled by the 1gb ram.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Saw a topic where someone played it with gingerbread, so no.
[Atrix 4G General] Inspiredwire:
I really like my Atrix, but I would wait and see what the next Nexus phone will bring.
[Atrix 4G General] andyt315:
Atrix ftw, i think its best phone so far for me
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
well thats welcome news. I'll do some research. A really time consuming thing to investigate (encode, copy to phone, see if it plays, rinse and repeat)
[Atrix 4G General] TheBassman369:
I own both and I prefer the Atrix.

With an AOSP ROM this phone will scream.
[Atrix 4G General] mtnecho:
I would stay away from the Nexus S. Ya, it's Raw Goog but the sub-par RAM, single core chip and cheap plastic construction just aren't worth it especially on a new contract.

I'm loving my Atrix on GB, rooted, de-blurred (Titanium freeze) and running Go Launcher EX. I experience no lag, web browser is lighting fast, GPS is the best I've experienced from a phone. That's my experience and opinion. Considering the timing of your upgrade I would suggest checking the SG2 out as it may be more to your liking. Some people like Sammy HW some don't (I personally hate it, especially their damn "Chin" design philosophy).

That said, you cannot go wrong with the Atrix, it's an excellent phone. I traded in my Inspire 4G at a loss and don't regret my decision one bit.

Oh, and DL/UL speed in Houston, TX I've been averaging 3.5mb down (6 max) and 1.3mb up (2.1 max). Inspire 4G never made it over 2.5 down (1 Ghz. w/ 768mb RAM). Atrix is on par with my friend's EVO 4G (Sprint WiMax, he avgs 2-3 but has a max he's gotten of 7 once) and another friend's T-Bolt (Verizon LTE, 5-6 avg and a max of 8). And yes processor and RAM do affect your up/down as it's partially determined by the amount of data your phone can process, another reason to stay away from the S at this point.
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
Might have been my thread. I apologize, but I was wrong. Even tough performance has increased substantially (from 8-10 fps to an average of 24) when playing high profile h.264, it still isnt perfectly smooth and, for some reason, the episodes of Game of Thrones were mute for me, which indicates a continuing lack of support to audio codecs. After converting it with the Handbrake method, it worked flawlessly.

@OP

The Atrix and the SGS2 have different offerings. SGS2 has a standardly overclocked processor, a bigger, brighter screen, less weight, and a GPU accelerated browser. The Atrix has a much higher pixel density, better battery life, and a specialized game store (Nvidia Tegra Zone which, despite the lack of titles in numbers, the ones it DOES have possess highly improved graphics over standard versions).

And for many of us, it has a lapdock, which is a perfect netbook replacement if all you do is work with word, excel, and light web browsing, being lighter and having better battery life than many netbooks. Its also fun like hell to play at customizing it :D
[Atrix 4G General] Thewalrus0034:
I like the overall build with the Motorola Atrix, but without the GPU accelerated and NEON support, would I be at a significant hardware disadvantage for everyday use? I feel I wouldn't. Also, any complaints about the screen?
[Atrix 4G General] paravorheim:
Okay. Opera provides a gpu accelerated browser that is blazing fast. The screen is really nice, but you may notice grainy greens.

Edit: oh, neon support isn't an issue, at least for me. Most of my videos can be played using moboplayer.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
The atrix also is not sized like a giant brick but weighing like a feather toy (the #1 reason I didn't go for the SGS2). Form factor wins for me. Not to mention in Australia, atrix is 150-200 dollars cheaper.

I would say though with froyo it is noticeably inferior. But that's no longer an issue, whether stock or unlock BL/custom ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] EclipseX:
If you want a big screen and fast phone....sgs2, if you want sething new and try some mods atrix, if yu are a hard modder HD2
[Atrix 4G General] Thewalrus0034:
Now that there's actual photos of the AT&T galaxy family, would anyone consider it a superior choice? I kinda like the idea of a physical keyboard but I'm used to portrait like on my blackberry.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
Good work! Thank you.

The more content like this people produce the better for everyone.

for anyone that is interested I've found that with no art skill you can still make these if you rip videos from you tube into image frames and follow stunt doubles instructions to make the animation.zip. I know it's cheating but it's simple and easy and let's even a goof like me make his own animation.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shawn_230:
These look super nice, but unfortunately I find them too laggy to use. It takes ages to render the animation the first time around.

So I'm going back to Honeybee for now, being under 1MB it's pretty smooth. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] s6261:
I admit that the first of render the boot animation is pretty laggy. However, it would not appear after the first time.

I made the boot animation is about 640*400. I have already lowered the resolution and I just want to keep the basic view.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] s6261:
update a SGU style animation!

That looks pretty good but not perfect.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssy080:
Thank you very much for the wonderful boot animations!

Minor request, would you be able to make a few that is loop-friendly?

please can someone explain me how to setup those bootanimation on my transformer ? do i need to root ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] runner50783:
Cool. Nice work
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shawn_230:
Yes, you need root so you can push bootanimation.zip to the /system/media folder on your Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] s6261:
Actually, not really.

You can use adb to push the bootanimation to /data/local. That's not required rooted. You can find the instructions in first post. Or you can find them in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101535
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssy080:
Hello!

By loop-friendly, I meant something like the glowing bee in the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101535

I like your number 3, but the animation is very fast and the ending image and starting image is too different, resulting in abrupt change of image. Whereas in the glowing bee, though very simple, is able to forever loop without the screen abruptly changing.

Your animations are cool! but due to the slow booting of transformer, the animation loops lots of times. It would be nice to see a nice transition from the ending image to the first image!

thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer General] s6261:
a New Crumble title is here. Have a look and download what you like!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
A loop friendly version would be the Asus logo rotating a 3D Earth continuously. Suggestion? :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
I know about Titanium, just to start with.

My question is about backup files using CWM, if I install a new rom and restore my system/cache/data will the phone work normally after that?

My main goal is to keep my installed apps as they are on the new ROM, so i guess data is the only thing i need to backup by right?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] siddhu1150:
Backup system + data using titanium backup.

Also backup current rom using cwm incase anything goes wrong while flashing new rom.

After u instal new rom instal titanium backup and restore.

Aha, so titanium does all the work? Thanks!

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
EDIT: Signal improvement went away... see followup post below.

Original posting:

---------

Meant to post about this two days ago, and got busy.

I've been one of those with near zero signal in my home neighborhood. I live in Scotts Valley, near Santa Cruz CA. Since I got my Epic last October, I have been extremely frustrated that I get 0/1 bars at home, the signal is too weak to be usable for phone calls (constant digital dropouts -- conversation is impossible), and of course pathetic data rates when I can actually get a connection, which ALSO is never reliable.

When I bought the phone, a tower within sight of my home on another ridge was scheduled to get a Sprint site before the end of the year (2010), according to their website map. Then, this upgrade disappeared. I called, and no one knew anything, of course.

I've been roaming on VZW, who have a 4/5 bar signal here, via Roam Control ever since I got the phone. Fine for calls and text, no data worth speaking about.

Woke up two days ago, and was at first mystified, then thrilled to see 5 solid bars on Sprint!!!! 3G data rates consistently 1100/750 down/up!!!

Apparently, they finally got around to upgrading their coverage in the area. 'bout time :D

4G? Don't even go there. Not yet, not expecting it... Ever.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Wow my 3g speeds are 200 down max and I have no 4g
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
In a way, I have Sprint's poor coverage in my hood to thank for me needing to root and get acquainted with XDA. Otherwise no Roam Control. But it would rock to get a similar upgrade around here. Zoning and landscape just make it really unlikely. If I go just half a mile north or west it's totally different, with 4G and all. Hell, I can watch Netflix over 4G at my office, just not where I stay. I hope your story is repeated far and wide.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I've had the same experience as you. I've been with sprint for 11 years now and my signal is now amazing at the house. 2600 kbps dl, 550 ul. On average, of course. They upgraded the tower nsar my house last year.

[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Congrats. Anybody else?
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
UPDATE: After some joy, Sprint decided to turn off whatever they did. Back to 0/1 bars here at home, inability to use voice without constant dropouts, no data to speak of...

Back to Roam Control and cursing Sprint. I am so close to walking away from my contract into VZW's arms. The SG2 could be enough...

[Epic 4G General] thatdudepoops:

[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
that's more true if you use a load of data. I use roam control for voice and text constantly because my apartment is a dead zone, and I use my wireless router for data, never got anything about it from sprint
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
That describes me. At home forced roaming so I can actually make and receive calls, data over wifi.

With the RC tasker plugin, phone automatically switches between forced roaming when in range of my home network, then back to "automatic" when out of range.

It's a workable solution, but not something I should have to do.

This may be a bit off topic, but I roam ALLLLL day when I'm at work, it gets me quite angry, and I continue to use data and phone while I "roam" , and saw a charge for roaming one time but called sprint and asked them how the **** I am roaming within my coverage area. They fed me some BS but took the charge away. I've never seen a charge for roaming since. Do you guys get charges?
