im having trouble installing the theme. I installed the rom over 1.8.3 gingerblur. first wiped to factory, cache, dalvik. had unlocked bootloader and newest romracer cwm. flashed. booted up. but when i go to install theme it doesnt work. it says complete but doesnt actually change anything.

i skipped motoblur setup, add my gmail, reset apn to default, let sit for 10 mins, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install from internal sd. no luck
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
I don't get why this thread is still being posted on.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n7slc:
It maybe long in the tooth and development from KP has dried up but it's still one of the best ROMs available for the Atrix. I'd dare say it's probably the most stable of the bunch. Not the fastest, but definitely the most stable.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I'll agree with that. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dell2:
THIS, most definitely THIS! I use cm7 now but this is my stock ROM. When things go wrong, I drop back to this ROM because of its stability.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.v.fouts:
Hey guys thanks for your previous help, but i went ahead and fastboot -w then used cwm to wipe and did another -w then re installed #4 build w.o the theme battery life def improved but no im having issue that randomly when i press the fingerprint scnr to look at time or anything it reboots keep in mind im not oc/uv. Any ideas or should i do another reinstall?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] razorseal:
How is your webtop running? Do you guys have the notification bar for the laptop dock?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joax11:
Hi guys, I am having problems with super user, when I open titanium backup it says no root is. installed or busybox, then I open super user and it says it needs to update, so I do that, and still titanium doesn't detect root... any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] VM0824:
still cant install theme. rom works great. theme installs, but no changes :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] razorseal:
how come you say that?

I haven't dug through the thread, but has the dev stopped supporting it? I did realize it's an older ROM...

I just installed it and going to stick with it for now mainly because it's the only one that supports the laptop dock with the status bar on top. I was really anal about that (and I use that thing like once a month)

go figure. LOL
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
You are wrong sir. This rom was abandoned in august and others offer webtop as well. Just look around
[Atrix 4G Android Development] VM0824:
has anyone else had trouble installing the theme? i have the alien rom no problem. using same method to install theme, it says complete. then no changes in appearance. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scores87:
Kenneth, I know you are no longer developing on this rom but could you please try to port hdmi mirroring from photon alien? please:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] primeboss:
Second, that is all we need and this phone would be perfect.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xpc21:
I think this thread should be locked since its clearly that kenneth wont update Alien.

Questions about this, i think should have a thread just like CM

have in " Atrix 4G Q&A ".

Please Admnistrator, think about that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Even though I no longer use it, Alien is still a viable ROM based off of Gingerbread; that many people still use... no need to close thread. Once, the Atrix starts receiving ROMs based off of ICS, then this ROM (without updates) will start to show its age.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JamesBlack:
Can I unlock my Atrix using this ROM?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] danjbry:
You can unlock your Atrix and then use this ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] v.k:
Hi!

This is my ROM based on Alien ROM, Alien Theme and Aura ROM.

I was using Alien ROM with Alien theme, but was missing blue and white blur theme. When I was using Alien ROM without Alien theme, I was missing cool battery level indicator. Aura ROM has battery level indicator and blur theme, but missing some Alien features (wake on volume, 1080p recording, tethering). Also, my widgets was constantly disappearing after rebooting when I was using Aura.

So I decided to build Alien-based ROM with some Aura parts and add to it some features and fixes that is not included in Alien #4. I've been using the latest version of this ROM for a week and haven't found any issues, so I decided to share it :)

Actually, it is Alien ROM but slightly themed and fixed, so I don't think it needs its own thread.

It has all Alien ROM features, except different HSPA/3G icons (I can't draw pixel-precise pictures, so if anyone wants to draw the icons, you are welcome).

Features from Aura:

- Battery icon with level indicator
- Conversation app
- Bloatware removal scheme (some more bloatware removed in comparison with the original Alien)
- Default wallpaper

Features from Alien theme:

- Launcher

Other improvements/fixes:

- Sms delivery reports fix
- HSPA/3G 1 bar fix
- HSPA/EGDE/GPRS icons are similar (in the stock theme H+ icon was odd)

HDMI mirroring?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] v.k:
I'm a webtop user and have read somewhere that mirroring may slow down webtop performance. Maybe I will include it in future if landscape mirroring become stable :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Please lock this thread and let it die!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ltdanno360:
this is still a good working rom for gingerbread. And hands down one of the best why lock it down i dont understand your logic?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n7slc:
+1

Exactly. You're still going to have people that are new to the Atrix and looking for an alternative to the stock ROM. Alien is still one of, if not the best alternative.

This thread should be locked when ICS becomes a viable alternative.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Filipeknot:
Sometimes the atrix works with dock, sometimes not!

And i'm having touch screen issues when unlocking...

Somebody know why?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fmflex:
Hi there

Does anyone know how to get hold of the emoticon faces of the droid out of this rom? I've moved over to CM7 due to not being able to get the wifi hotspot working and wouldn't mind taking the icons over.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: NVM, I forgot that I had the themed swype
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Pull them from the framework-res.apk in the alien.zip. Replace those in the framework-res in the CM7 .zip and flash. Or add them to a theme Chooser theme and change cm7 themes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Hicks-MofG:
So i just loaded the boot strapper and installed the alien.zip using it..

All went well there...

Then it restarted and has been sitting at the dual core logo for over an hour.. im guessing that's not normal is it?

What should I do keep waiting? Attempt to reflash stock again?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
boot strapper??? wtf is that? The really old CWM Recovery that no one uses anymore?

Was your bootloader unlocked, before you flashed the ROM?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brh0003:
Surprisingly good ROM, even though its a bit outdated.

I recently had issues with DarkSide 3.1.2 so i figured I would go back to one of my old favorites, Alien v4. Turns out with ext4 conversion via newest CWM, faux's enhanced stock v0.22, radio 1.77.36P, ext4 blue theme, and the newest webtop flash (for 2.3.5) this thing runs like a champ.

Takes a bit of time to upgrade everything, but once done its one 'ell of a ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Hicks-MofG:
Yup Old CWM

Im a Noob Sorry

No the boot loader was not unlocked "Fast Boot".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
How is it that people are still using this old ass recovery?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Ok, well before you flash any actual ROM, you need to unlock your bootloader... and I would suggest you install Rom Racers CWM Recovery... see N00B Guide link in my sig.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

B/C the install instructions in a lot of older OP's (i.e. this one) have not been updated.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Hicks-MofG:
K thanks. Sorry for the mess..

PMed you.

As far as the other question as to why I was running the old version... Its the thread I had read some time ago and i just did it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n7slc:
And so it goes...After a solid month or so of CM7 this and CM7 that, I've come back to my faithful old pal, Alien 4.

CM7 was so different, so smooth, I felt like I was cheating. But as the days went on CM7 seemed to degrade horribly like an old XP box that never got a defrag. Bug after bug and just plain weirdness.

So, Alien 4, I'm back and I brought my friend EXT4 and a Faux123 enhanced Kernel along with me.

Our options are limited as it seems dev'ing for the Atrix is starting to thin. CM9 may be the only viable alternative in the near future.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Try Nottach's DarkSide
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n7slc:
I've never tried that one because I didn't like the red. Now that there's an ICS theme, I just may try it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] varun124:
Just flashed this with the theme and was running great for a few hours, but suddenly i cant answer calls. when i get a call the phone vibrates nonstop but doesnt let me answer or decline and eventually the phone.android force closes. i can make calls just fine.

I really like the Alien theme

Only thing I think it could use is the reboot option. I really liked that on some of the other roms ive seen and used.

Great work though... Blazing fast.

Hi guys, i just flashed this rom, everything is working well except the signal bar, my signal bar dont increase or decrease. any fix for this one? I tried reflashing and it still doesnt work, The "H" indicator and the "E" changes, its just the signal bar stays static.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
possible fixes:

fix permissions in CWM

Flash newest radio (in fruitcake thread)

Problems loading widgets after reset.

I have been runnning Alien for a few days and all of a sudden Widgets stopped loading on a reset. Very weird. Shortcuts good, and launcher pro Widgets OK. But every other widget throws problem loading

Anyone have this problem?

A few things. I flashed fauxs oc kernel 1.45ghz after flashing alien, I am not themes, and I do think i flashed the alien. Zip from the internal SD.

Thanks for the help. I did see one other person had this problem, but never got an answer.

Baron
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tobnddl:
Generally this error is associated with using Faux's kernel. If you return to the stock kernel, the widgets will stay through reboot. Lot's of folks say they have had luck running "Fix Permissions" in CWM recovery, but this did not work for me. Only a return to the stock kernel worked (or move to a CM platform as opposed to Blur). I hope this helps!

I'm still running with an Atrix. I don't make anything for other phones unless I get them to review for my website. But, I use the Atrix all day as my personal phone. I'm just waiting for something quad-core or Nexus on AT&T.

Having said that, I don't really have the time or inspiration to update this ROM. I'm running a CM9 alpha and happy with it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nelsonw:
So, CM9 its stable? For a daily use?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Go ahead and check out the Photon Dev Team + jokersax's thread for some early CM9 builds. They're full of flaws— no videos work in video player, no camera, no Flash, etc. But, I don't use any of those things. My phone is most often used for gmail, browsing, apps, and messaging. So, it works for me.

But, if you want to talk CM9, move on over to that thread. Don't want to keep bringing this old one up unnecessarily. ;)

I have a good request, that no ROM has been able to implement besides ADW Launcher

Giving us 5 ROWS on the screen instead of 4, we have higher resolution then most phones so 4 rows makes our icons spaced out. With 5 (on ADW launcher) its perfect.

Possible you think?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] SoberGuy:
Loving it so far!

A few quick issues: Data connectivity is in and out. I maintain a good signal, but it all turns white and the data ceases. After a few minutes, it comes back. However, it's a killer at times. I may end up changing radios, but I can't do that at work.

After some edits (for the music and videos posted earlier) I rebooted. Guess what my battery stats did? Yeah... Jumped up after reboot. Not sure if the fix included is functioning as intended.

EDIT: After a significant jump up, and lite use for 10 minutes, without a reboot the batter went from 74 to 49. It was about 61 before the reboot, up to 76, watched it drop to 74, then without a reboot it now shows 49. Will be wiping battery stats tonight.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MarcoPolo78:
Stable ?

Is it worth flashing this or wait until Build #2 ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ClearFire:
Hey Kenneth,

First off Great ROM! I love the simplicity and the added HDMI/Webdock features in the settings.

Now for the errors;

1st error - The phone did a random reboot on me when I was surfing the web. I was only connected via WiFi with data disabled. I was googling and as I hit search it showed the loading bar then black screen. I have not been able to duplicate the error and I have no other apps installed except for what came with the ROM. This has only happened Once.

2nd error - When receiving phone calls sometimes it does not wake the phone up to display the caller but hitting the lock/power button wakes it up. I do not have any screen lock features implemented. Again, this does not happen all the time but I would say 1 out of 5-7 calls this happens

[Atrix 4G Android Development] ClearFire:
In the OP Kenneth said if you want something stable then wait for the 2nd or 3rd build because things will and always are broken with any alpha/beta ROM
