Great work Kenneth! loving this rom - I am an international user and im getting great speeds, also using zeppelinrox's V6 Supercharger - memory manager and getting gread speeds and no lag! Only issue I do have is that I can never get a fix on my GPS, i did get it onceee when i first installed the rom one of the first times i used map I got a lock but I haven't been able to since. I know some other ppl here have had the same problem but didnt see any solutions (tried to search). Anyways not a huge deal if anyone knows a fix let me know!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zoso28:
Just used the camera-fix instructions from around post 1009 and camera has disappeared completely. Tried it twice with same result. Seems like it has worked for some, but I can't figure out why I'm getting such a different result.

edit: Somehow got it working by playing with permissions. I know they were right the first time, but either way I'm happy. Not sure how much better the D3 is but it's nice to have panoramas working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pederb:
For some reason it does not remember my webtop setting, every time I dock it asks me what setting I want?

Please advise

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filthyfnj24:
(Yes I've searched but to no avail) Say I want to flash over to CM7 and wanted to keep the Alien 3 themed keyboard? How would I do it? I've seen several multitouch keyboards floating around the web but I'm positive they're not skinned. I know, I know, CM is all about stock but I think the Alien keyboard would go perfect with CM and I'm a lot faster with it than the gd tiny gb keyboard CM comes with. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
I believe that is the same one I used, There is another where the webtop file is labeled webtop-joe.img That one has a few fixes already. On my box I just use that and not the stock webtop.img. Then after a reboot and test to be sure that the HDMI and laptop dock both work I then run easy_v0.2.6.zip-signed.zip to get the extended features.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] huggs420:
Is there any way you can change the bright green highlight when you select something, and the bright green keyboard pop-up to the standard orange?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MdX MaxX:
This ROM is simply amazing. I'll report issues if I see any, but so far it's been perfect in my daily use.

Is battery life RIDICULOUS for anyone else? I've tried stock Froyo, stock Gingerbread, Gingerblur, HKTW, and navalynt's mods, but my battery life wasn't close to where it is with Alien. It used to be at about 15% after 12 hours; now it's only at about 60%.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
Question... why does the Atrix (in this ROM and all others) show my signal as "H"... if all we have in Brasil is standard 3g? o.0
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TinyRK:
I am just sad that the weather-widget 'n stuff is buggy and I can't download zip-files nomore, but hey, you can't have everything. :D

Thanks Kenneth...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aabarakat:
Phalanx;

I tried to switch to 3g and back to automatic but did not work. Some recommended doing a factory reset.... I did not do that and I am asking if I do that will it affect the alien rom or not. in other forums somebody recommended updating the firmware what do you think.

about making a new apn, I have an att phone but I am an international user so if I made an apn with att settings will that be of help to me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
there is a reason the theme is called alien. For the green!! That would defeat the purpose of the theme.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] boostmx:
Hey zoso which permissions did you end up using? The same thing ended up happening to me. Replaced the apk, changed permissions and then booted up, and it was gone lol. Put it back like 4-5 times and couldn't get it back.

I ended up just buying Camera Zoom FX until a proper fix is out (which is a better camera app anyway, I highly recommend it), but it'd still be nice to have the default cam/recorder working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
If someday ATT projects you will have H+ then it will read with an H. I also dont have H+ in my area but phone reads as H.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
My record for this rom is 31 hours with 7 hours display time. Absolutely insane battery life if you have your phone set up correctly and avoid battery hogging apps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Vacation is over. I have one more day of work before I can get back to development on this bad boy.

Build #4 coming soon. Preview of possible bugfixes:

1. Proximity sensor troubles

2. White on white in security PIN area (Alien theme)

3. Contacts while selecting multiple phone numbers (Alien theme)

4. Calendar alerts black on black (Alien theme)

5. Messaging white send-to-box (Alien theme)

6. Corporate email

7. Settings menus that are still white (Alien theme)

8. Gallery black on black (Alien theme)

9. Updated Google apps

10. Camera force close on panorama mode

11. Swype

As you can see, many of these are just theme related. That's a good sign! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
Dont forget the wifi policy issue. Its kind of important...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
Kenn can you please also try to look into this wake lock issue which is being caused by the alarm or something... it always keeps the phone awake hence excessive battery drain... also maybe if you can add a way to change the notification LED for certain apps... which DOESN'T cause a battery drain... that would be awesome...!! :D

Also the in the theme the Bars for volume or progress need to be changed to green :)

Oh oh... and pleaaassseeee... if you can add shortcuts to the pulldown notification menu like they have in touchwiz... HUGE help that would be...!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filthyfnj24:
Apply the AOSP theme over Alien theme 3.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zoso28:
I did the whole process twice to get it workin. and the second time instead of backing up, then copying & pasting the camera apk I unzipped it & overwrote the stock d3 apk & set it to rw-r-r. I deleted the libs & then had to reboot & redo the permissions & it showed right up.

I'm still having trouble with HDMI mirroring. I searched this thread but didn't find any fixes. I can select HDMI mirroring but the screen never shows anything. Webtop over HDMI works fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
What is this issue?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
You need a short cut for the pull down menu? Really? does your arthritis act up when you have to reach for the top of the screen?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] brd912:
I think he means the wifi,bluetooth,gps,and screen rotation toggles when you pull down the status bar. That was kinda harsh
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
hey just wondering, I've removed the default swype and am running the latest beta, if I flash the next no-wipe ROM, will it muck with my (new) swype?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rickroller:
I can barely go 10 hours with this (or any) ROM right now..whereas on Froyo I would get 16-20+ hours. Please tell me how to "set up" my phone correctly to achieve half of what you get :confused:

FWIW..i'm on Alien 3 with CherryPI theme, stock d00 kernel (i've tried all variations of SetCPU with OC/UV as well..)

My phone began rebooting today while typing. Like... every time. It's the fifth reboot in three hours. Jesus Christ.

@kennethpenn

The wifi automatic shut down configuration is not working. I set it to "never" shut down, and it always does when the screen turns off. When I set to "Screen Off"... it never does. It's kind of upside down.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rozzco:
It's hard to imagine any other ROM running better than this one. Kudos Ken! :D

[Atrix 4G Android Development] GruvRegulator:
Newly Rooted/unlocked on Alien ROM.

I decided to take the Alien ROM for a spin; so far the phone seems alot more responsive than it was on the original leaked GB ROM. The green accents really work well to frame up the menus and scrolling the menus illuminate green when the edges are reached. I really like the dialer/calling skin; it's sublime yet functional. I'm looking fwd to the full release of this ROM; I'm running on v.3 and there's been a lil funkiness here and there. But on the whole the ROM is faster and the green accents add to the whole experience of the OS.

Is the website down?

basically, i am trying to go to the website, and apparently it's down..

same was true in the gingerblur thread... and after reading for hours i realised that the developer has updated gingerblur to this one...

but now, when i check this, this doesn't work either... is this dead too?

Update: the site is up and running again! it was down for a while, but working now :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deggy:
Just a slight bug(?). The wifi and signal bars change colors whenever I turn on wifi. Sometimes its green sometimes its white. I had flashed alien theme fwiw.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nickel3ack:
Not a bug. It's actually an Android feature. Green bars = you have connectivity to the Google servers for Android Market. White bars = no connectivity to the Google servers.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
Wow... thats actually quite weird. Are you sure of that? I mean, not to say you're lying, but where did you get that form?

Anyone having video play back problems with movies....Iv tested same video files on a single core Android phone and has no problems.....seems the atrix has a slow frame rate when compared to others again same video files same app

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
And now the most useless post just went to scaronscar...

Man, you ever read anything on these foruns about "Atrix" ".mkv" "high profile" "video playback" "720p" "1080p", anything like this? Try the search feature, it's lots of fun.

ps: on a sidenote, I agree with Jay, orange has nothing to do with this theme.

Im getting a force close when I try to use swipe any ideas for a fix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
its a known bug, reported a zillion times, that will get fixed in the next build.

Man, people should get suspended for that...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dictoresno:
I assume you are addressing me. Well im usually the first person to complain about forum etiquette but sorry I didn't read all 146 pages of this thread. i know how these threads go, im used to it on crackberry.com when a new OS "findings/fixes" thread comes out. many bug questions get lost in hundreds of pages of crap. Either way i got it fixed. Thanks for the info.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
It would be cool to have a swype free version, for those of us whoa re swype beta users and can manually install it or restore from our titanium
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crossix:
Hate to be rude, but there's a little feature on this site. Its called search and if more people used it, there would be a lot less posts like this one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nickel3ack:
The signal bar color changing is a known feature of Gingerbread. Please use forum / web search.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
seriously, forum posts is a GODAWFUL way of doing bug reports.....

I know its more work but some sort of bug reporting system should be setup per rom with a big flashing sign on the first post to the link

as for the guy with the video problem, he never mentioned if it was 720p or mkv or hi profile x264, is it possible that its with normal SD videos?

I don't know any single core androids without dedicated decoding addons (e.g. archos tablets) that can do hi profile 720p so it is possible.... just saying.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
The swype issue is easy to fix. Go back about 20 pages, I posted a step by step.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
I know how to fix it, just a PITA to have to fix it every time I try a new rom, version, or have to flash no-wipe to restore stock theme, etc.

if it wasn't bundled it would be a simple titanium restore?

just a suggestion, love your work ken.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dictoresno:
thank you sir, easy fix. i appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dictoresno:
believe me i know, and im the first person to tell others that on plenty of other forums this same thing. unfortunately i wasnt in front of my computer and wasnt about to seach via mobile for a fix. one thing i learned about xda is the threads move WAY to quick and sometimes the search misses things. i would like to think coming from a blackberry where i was messing with cod files and making my own hybrid OS's, i have come a long way with my droid phone and learning how things work. i only have near 30 posts here and searching NONSTOP in the last few weeks has been my friend......and i mean hours of searching and reading. ive found alot of useful info and now have my atrix well modified. i will only post noob type questions when truly stuck or in a bind and need a quick fix.

i know the dev forums dont take lightly to the repetition, ive seen it here before and on other forums.

but one thing i know is at least i can count on most of the people here for a quick fix not matter how stupid the question is. for that, im appreciative. we have all been there before.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
If I had arthritis wouldn't I NOT want to use the pulldown menu...?? Why would I ask for more items in it... I asked for shortcuts IN the pulldown... not FOR the pulldown... and incase your wondering, if your on the homescreen and press the menu key there is generally a notifications icon there which when pressed, the pulldown comes down by itself...

I discovered that thanks to my 'arthritis' :p

Guess I may have written it wrong in my previous post hence the misunderstanding ...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
No your right that's exactly what im talking about :D

What are you running right now that you currently have that...?? I went thru all the widgets or whatever available but those arnt direct toggles... rather take you to another shortcut menu where you can toggle them like widgetsoid and a few others...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beyorj:
Notification toggle free in the market, not easy on the eyes but works well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
Thanks iv tried that... as you said its fugly ... and doesn't act as a direct toggle ... rather opens a separate menu... the built into roms or themes work great...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drpratik:
Few suggestion.

1)Make alien theme install universal to any rom.

2) keep Droid 3 camera optional.

In my phone. Image quality went down for both snaps and videos.

3) wifi issue needs to be fixed.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
let me ask a pretty stupid question, is there a way to not do an .zip rom, instead a flash of it and have a clean load, it seems that tenfars doesnt clean anything out when i do the factory restore/wipe/wipe dalvik, and i believe it is leaving behind some of gingerblur which is causing my random reboots
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
You should try romracer's CWM recovery. I have heard that Tenfar's, while good, has some issues when it comes to getting rid of everything during wipes. You can find romracer's thread on the first page of the dev forum. Also, you can always try a fastboot -w to get rid of any remnants of cache or user date if CWM doesn't catch everything.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
Great rom here. I just have one question, does this rom have hdmi mirroring? I tried it with my tv but I can only get entertainment mode to start up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crupp:
Would love to try this ROM. I have a brand new Atrix and it came with 2.3.4. WHich Root method should I use. I am pretty experienced with Rooting but brand new to this phone. Thanks for the help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
You have to unlock the bootloader to use this rom

Thanks ill try it out and i did the -w and i guess it worked but i think thats why im getting random reboots

[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
I'm just pointing out the accepted stereotype of aliens and why it is green in the first place. Don't lash out at me because this has been the consensus for over a hundred years. I never said it was "scientific" fact. You are right, it's open source. You can very easily go to the "Themes and Apps" sub-forum and learn how to theme it yourself. No one is stopping you there. But what you are asking is to have someone who is already making a great contribution to the community to do even more work. Maybe you can make a request in the Q&A area or create a poll and have more people donate to that cause. Just saying...:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
Since you're already an enlightened person, think of it this way: Kenn reported a total of 34 thousand downloads for v3 of Alien only a few days after the posting. Imagine if 1% of these people asked a quick question every week only?

Yeah....

Don't mind me tough, I ain't fighting you, you seem to get the message already. I'm just leaving this math here so, hopefully, less thoughful people will stumble upon it and think about it.

I have to say I really like this ROM! All the developers: thanks for the good work! :)

2 bugs I discovered that could be fixed in the upcoming release:

- When using corporate mail, when I would like to see the folders the text is black but the background of the list is also black. So the names of the folders are not visible.

- I sometimes get the message that the a process fails and needs to be forced to shutdown. The process is called alien (something with com.***.tip or something like that, I will get the exact name next times it happens).

[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
Wondering if I could get some info from all of you that have moved over from GingerBlur 4.5 straight to Alien. Has anyone had any success flashing and leaving data intact...or is a full wipe the only way to go. I'm assuming it has to be a full wipe, but I'm only going to have a few hours to make the switch...and then I need everything fully functional and all data restored for work. I can't risk running into any unanticipated problems. Have people generally made smooth transitions using Titanium BackUps (what I'm using now). I really would like to make the switch, but if it will more than likely be more than a few hour process to return everything to normal might have to wait until I have a day off in a few weeks.

You can PM me your experience coming from GingerBlur 4.5 so as not to clutter this thread any more if it's easier. Any replies good/bad are really appreciated!

Thanks

PS - I've searched around and have read people having good and bad switches with their Titanium BackUps, radios, APN's, etc....but I'm not sure what build they were coming off. Hoping to hear from people coming straight from GB 4.5 (Kenneth's P-Rom)
