Are you running faux123's v0.1.7 kernel? If so, go back to v0.1.6 maybe ...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rrktt:
It's happened to me before too. Alien#4 ROM without the theme using Faux 0.1.6.

I've only seen it occur after I pull out my battery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xangma:
Going back to 0.1.6 fixed it for me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carlharsch:
Did you use Titanium to mass send files to the SD-card? I found that this causes the problem you're seeing. If I transfer them with another program, the issue doesn't happen, but if I do it with Titanium, it does.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] King_MSD:
Ok im going to try this but, can i straight use cwm to go back to this kernal or do i have to remove some stuff first?

@carl i used it to restore my apps but thats all ive used it for.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I always flash the stock kernel first, before switching between kernels, just as a precaution, but that is all I can think of.

Don't forget to wipe Dalvik cache & cache partition between flashing kernels.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
straw poll, is moto-fastboot -w same as wiping data from CWM (romracer's latest)?

people say that fastboot is the only sure way, heck some even say do it twice, but I thought they were the same thing?

I've not had any problems with using CWM exclusively but I've only really done it going from one alien version to another.

(lazy me prefers to do it all in CWM in one go without needing to reboot into fastboot mode then reboot again into CWM)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
yes, same thing as wiping/formatting data in CWM. RomRacer's CWM does this just fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
Dammit. I didn't know your theme would hijack my launcher. Now I can't get back to stock gingerbread. Fuuuuuuuuuuuu.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Hijack launcher how? The ROM or theme?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
:P oops! 10char
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
The theme :p. There any way you can post a stock theme.zip that'll change things back to normal kenn? Didn't make a backup because I figured it would only change dialer etc, which I could change back by flashing nottachs theme uninstaller. Just tried using the theme uninstaller but some themed sections + launcher remain.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
Actually, the theme is growing on me. Im probably going to keep it. Haha. But it would still be nice if you put up a stock theme.zip. cheers.

Edit: going to have to go back to stock, can't resize widgets and my quick contacts widget doesn't work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
There's one in the themes thread. Or you can just pull the framework-res.apk, systemui.apk or whatever other apk you need out of the main Alien ROM.zip and re-flash those.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Magnetox:
Mind sending me a link to the themes thread? I couldn't find it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Check Mike's prior post...

"No offense intended, but that theme is not my cup of tea from the "looks" standpoint. But - no biggie, I just installed a theme using ADW Launcher called Black Ice, which I hadn't used in maybe 3 or 4 months (so it was like new), which set things up the way I wanted them to look. I then played around with the various functions and apps until I saw this request, and responded to it."

He flashed the Alien theme and did not like it so reflashed another... He did not appear to have a problem changing it. :p

I cannot see any "delivery reports" in my text messaging setting,

Also i tested GoSms from market, i checked delivery reports an it doesnt work too,

Seems it is depended on system files, is there any way to put "delivery reports" option into messaging?

Also i extracted sms apps from my 2.3.4 orfr134 Moto Defy and installed on my Atrix, but it didn't work and now i'm thinking of suicide,

Can u help to solve this issue?

Im not sure if this is rom specific but on the lock screen the slider for volume goes between sound on and no sound. Is there a way to make it toggle between sound on and vibrate or even better toggle between all three?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droid_does:
For toggle between sound and vibrate I think you have to set to vibrate always in settings

I don't think you can set it to toggle between all 3

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gandalf:
For themeing purposes, I need to revert back to the stock Blur theme, but I do NOT want to do ANOTHER full flash!

Anyway we can get the No-Wipe install back up, or just a quick and easy Stock Theme Installer/Alien Theme Uninstaller?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ECdOc:
Did you freeze all of the "Authenticator" apps in Titanium Backup? Try unfreezing them and see if it works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
What themeing purposes? You can flash any other theme on top of this one. Also, you can flash custom themes on top of this.

Just grab "stock" .apk files you want out of the full Alien ROM .zip and replace those in the Alien Theme .zip and flash away.

WHERE ARE YOU KENNETH?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Funny, I used mine all weekend without issue. Not sure if you tried my fix back around post 1000 (1009 I think) you have to delete the com.motorola.camera from /data/data then reboot. Otherwise it is fixed in Alien4 if you do a full/fresh install.

Another option is to look at the cameras thread. Someone posted a CWM installable of both the stock and the D3 camera's. Wifi fix has also been posted. I'm assuming you did faux123's kernel then flashed klolk's. If so you can read the fix on kholk's OP. but basically you have to go back to the stock kernel when flashing between the two kernels.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
If it ain't broke...

If you are running GingerBlur on 1.8.3, keep it, it works. KP is having his own problems over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160408

If you have the 4.5.91 OTA update on your phone then do not try to go back to an older version with an sbf flash or risk a hard brick... If you have GBlur and it works then hold off until all of this gets sorted out.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:

Where the wifi fix posted? In this thread?

I've been following thread pretty close, not sure how I missed it...just went back through the last few hundred posts 1 by 1, didn't see anything. ...or am I understanding you are saying it is kernel related?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Wifi issue is on page 169

I see this at the Alien link on the Brief Mobile site:

Changelog

Build #4

- Swype fix

- Camera fixed

- Google Android 2.3.5 application framework

- Settings > Sound > Volume text colors fix

- Corporate email, BlurEmail.apk brought back

- Proximity sensor fix (if doesn’t work, turn off In Pocket setting)

- Launcher theme modified

- Optimization for boot time

- Videos application for rooted users

- Updated apps (YouTube)

- Re-optimized theme apps

- White on white in Messaging app fixed

I do not see anything that mentions a fix for the wifi... nor anything that says the wifi is a known problem in build #4 although I do remember KP saying that he broke it. Perhaps someone could volunteer to help KP keep a log that lists the known issues and fixes... That would help a lot of folks.

You might note that directly after the "big red letters" (thanks SilverKeiser) I point out that "I'm assuming you did faux123's kernel then flashed klolk's" Then point you to "...read the fix on kholk's OP". However as SilverKeiser points out there was in fact a point when KP released a broken package for a hour or so as well.

To clarify further: Yes it most likely is a kernel issue. In fact most of the issues people on here are posting about are not related to the ROM, but to the install. Or some other, often user, error. WiFi error, random reboots, FC's are all most likely due to dirty installs, Non-stock kernels, Over Clocking, and Under Volting. In some cases the ROM DL was corrupt, which as I have pointed out a number of times can be fixed if KP provides MD5 check sum. At this point Most every issue other then theme issues are fixed. (I did say most). What is more of an issue is that most of the reports of issues are in a poor format. People need to specify their scenario in their post. Rather then WiFi doesn't work they need to say, what build they are on, what build they came from and what method they used. What kernel they are on and any other relevant info. It may not seem like it but lots of little things can be due to the kernel. For example on Kholk's 1.1 the volume mod didn't work on my phone, but it did with edagen's and Faux's as well as the stock. Is seemed ROM related until I flashed back saw it work then flashed the kernel again. Camera's often have issues related to kernels. The Gtalk video sideways thing was related to the modaco install,and the associated lib file. Not the ROM.

I'm not trying to be a Jerk but it seemed like you tried to put me in check without reading what I said clearly.

2. can we get batt % in the notification bar?

3. can we remove H+ when connected to Wifi (notif bar seems to be cluttered with both there)

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I won't change the color or size of the text, so it's easy to see to what I'm referring to. I have no idea how you thought it meant I was yelling. I'll just remove the text around what I'm responding to. It was an honest question, as I have seen both post 1685, and 1688 and even referred to them before in my previous posts stating: that I have tried the patch route twice, the update ver3-->ver4 .zip route once, the full wipe ver4 .zip 3 times.

I have mentioned all that stuff before. Nothing was meant to put you in check, just a misunderstanding. I read it very carefully, checked out everything you mentioned. Since I haven't messed with anything kernel related it didn't seem to apply to me. So, I thought maybe you were talking about something else than post 1685, 1688. I was saying I follow the thread often, but could have easily missed something posted. Just a simple, honest question.

PS: Ok I scrolled up and saw...I can understand how it looks like yelling now...lol. Red was a back choice, and it was WAY bigger than I thought it was going to be. I was just honestly trying to quickly highlight the part of your post I was talking about.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
No Problem. If you haven't changed kernels then the WiFi issue is strange. The WiFi issue associated with the kernel swap is that it will look like it is turning on for a second then instead of saying "connecting" or "obtaining IP address" it will say "error". I do seem to recall some people saying that they get very poor signal strength. This would be less likely to be kernel related and in your case of not having swapped kernel very unlikely. So I'd begin with a few certain things. First check the channels on your router and your phone. The stock "about" page may not give you enough info, you may need to find a app on the market for more info. I had a netgear Router stuck on Africa channels for nearly a year. Turned out once you set the region it locked the options out. I had to do a full reset anyway and after setting it to US my signal was much-much better. If I recall you had the issue only with Alien but if you go back to another it works fine. I am thinking it is something out side of the ROM, even though its a issue that is coming over with the ROM. On the upside, if you can fix it with swapping back to another ROM then the hardware is good.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I'm having a bunch of problems.

1. Constant random reboots, 10 or more a day, most times I have to take out the battery to be able to boot up.

2. Last night I got an error when trying to boot in red: "Unrecoverable Bootloader error (0x00000004)" though I was able to reboot normally.

3. This morning I got an error about 5 times in a row while trying to boot, I forgot the exact text but something along the lines of "Unable to load radio module". I had to take out the battery and try about 5 times till it would boot properly.

4. After this, I was unable to boot into Recovery through the volume buttons, I'd press down till I got the Android Recovery, then press up and it'd hang there. It works now for some reason.

I've re-installed Atrix 4 times on my phone, each time clearing Dalvik, Cache, and doing a data wipe. I didn't start having problems 2-4 until 2 days after installing Atrix an faux's kernal, but I've had the random reboot problem on every install of Alien Build #4. One running Atrix stock kernal, 2 using faux's OC 0.1.6, and the latest using faux's OC 0.1.7.

Does anyone know what could be causing all of these issues and any possible solutions?

RAM issue

Just noticed this issue after a few days. While I was playing some games, I frequently received "Low System Resources" warning. I was just wondering how come this game utilized most of my 1GB ram???

Out of curiosity, I installed Elixir and Quadrant Standard. Both apps reports that I have got total 372.1 MB ram and around 90 MB is free. woops!!!! guys!!! I know that round about 128Mb is taken by Nvidia GPU, so where's the rest of 512Mb gone???

Pardon me if this issue is already stated or fixed long ago. (hard to go through all over 200 pages) And kindly show me the way how to fix it (if there is any fix)

For anyone having the problem where the wifi just sticks on 'optaining ip' and you have to manually scan, I was having this problem until I simply used a different widget other than the default toggle widgets to turn on wifi.

Unlocking the Bootloader

I'm still running GingerBlur on 1.8.3 and have been refusing the OTA "upgrade" notice that keeps popping up on the phone. I unlocked the bootloader some time ago and I would say that my network and wifi connectivity along with download speeds have improved since I did that. I would not be surprised if MOTO was putting some hidden landmines in the OTA updates to discourage developers from cracking their operating systems. The goal of the USG is to be able to monitor everything that you are doing and they do not like it when people are getting off the leash...:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Like I said...it's a carrier unlock. Straight from AT&T. It has nothing to do with the bootloader...I've been bootloader unlocked since it came out. This only started to happen when I unlocked my phone carrier-wise legitimately through AT&T's provided code over the phone.
