Anyone interested should check out the neutra face font it seems to go well with the alien theme imo. Pm me if interested, and with enough interest ill post in the Apps and themes section.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
There's a neutra face font in the themes and apps section already is this the same thing? The one over in that thread I believe had some problems hows this one working
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
That sucks. Hope you figure it out without too much hassle. Keep up the good work.

I didn't see on as of a few weeks ago, but may have been added since. This one works.

Kenn can you post a change log for #3 in the op?

If you go to his downloads page the changelog is posted there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aabarakat:
I am new to android. I got the atrix few days ago. I read and kept reading many many pages trying to know how to flash this rom on the atrix but could not figure that out. Can anybody show me how. I appreciate explanations without technical terms and abbreviations as many of those are different than the windows and windows mobile world so I have a hard time understanding those. thanks in advance

Great work on #3, Ken!

Ken so no need to apply jug6ernaut´s battery fix (or any type of battery fix) after flashing built #3?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Well for one, you're gonna need to unlock your bootloader. What firmware are you on? I'm not sure if they come with Froyo or Gingerbread out of the box now?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gatorp003@aol.com:
Out of box

Gingerbread out of the box as of 8/1. At&t employee

Alien widget still disappears after every reboot. All other widgets remain intact.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Maroon Mushroom:
Alien build #2 users, is this build worth installing? sounds like there's a few issues.... It would be sweet if a patch could be released for it.

Still on gb stock w/ faux.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] airbillion:
Hey ken thanks for the great rom!

I found an issue with alien 3. Using the messaging app and when I click on my email the app fc's. Just a heads up.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CHUI2CH:
I don't think its using the blur email app is it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kix08:
Great rom as always love the d3 camera. Hey if I wanted ti restore my DLNA service I would just flash the bloat. Correct? And us there a way to just add that back with out everything else?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] georgelopez:
Yes and yes. Just open bloatware.zip, go to \system\app, delete the apps you don't want, save the zip file, and flash.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
Great rom as usual. The only problem so far its haptic going out once in a while.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shady_lanem:
Swype force close on mine after update to build 3 :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
This isn't a ROM related issue... it is possible it's a keyboard app, but I've had this issue with every thing I've used (and that's pretty much everything that was released) since February when I got it. And I've been seeing reports of the same since then as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
This can reportedly be solved by un-installing swype and deleting it's files, then using the "Swype Installer" program from the market to get the latest version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jra89027:
can we use theme 2 for alien 3, and mine keeps just shutting screen off randomly
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brd912:
This ron is nothing but a waist of time. No talent here at all!

^^gotcha! Haha bravo bravo ken,its amazing. My only problem is battery life after build 2 has been awful. It drains 1% by the minute when screen is on. Last maybe 4 hours on full charge with moderate use. I believe I corrupted my battery though,because I flashed a different kernal also,to no avail. Not a rom related issue in sure. Pretty much ken,I love you man:-) you make me love my atrix more and more each day
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I can confirm this isn't ROM related at all. I'm certain it's a hardware issue. Mine has gotten worse...unfortunately my unlocked bootloader means no warranty to get it fixed :( it goes out after like two haptic feedbacks (proper english?), and I have to lock and unlock or tap on the back to bring it back. Lame.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jra89027:
I can help you, but have you unlocked the bootloader yet

Panoramic FC

Do we have any idea why we are getting FC's on the panoramic mode? I know cherry pi works, and I tested stock after SBF and it worked (I really hate to have to hunt this thing down myself). Someone pointed to build.prop camera values not matching up. I also looked in /data/data/com.motorola.camera at the files there and notices a few seemed as if they may have to do with panoramic, but after messing with them and the camera, I lost the camera for good, hence the SBF and start over... Again.

I've got an idea... I'll report back.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] domin8:
Anyone else getting fc with swype. I used root explorer to remove the apk and reload through swipe beta by after reboot it fc again
[Atrix 4G Android Development] oOnEe:
I just installed V3 + faux123's kernel and restored almost everything with MyBackup Pro.

I had FC's on many apps that I had to reinstall manually (handcent, setcpu,...) which is pretty annoying (didn't have that problem when flashing from stock 2.2 to ORFR 2.3.4)

I launched 2 quadrant tests and scored ~2600, which seems to be a bad score regarding other ppl's scores. That's not really a problem coz I don't care who's got the biggest, I just don't understand why there are so many differences...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Few post back, remove all parts of it, then dl app from market "swipe uninstaller" then do again... Read back two or three pages.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Got it! Panoramic fix

Ok so I installed piCrust, pulled files and one-by-one'd them into a fresh Alien3, found it quickly when I chose to do a data wipe.

Good news is Navalynt post a proper working camera.

Bad news is you HAVE to wipe data to get it to take.

To install it

DL it from his cherry-pi-crust site
Then extract the blurcamera.apk from the zip
Paste it in /system/app/ overwriting the existing one
Set permissions to rw-r--r-- or chmod 644 (this may be optional as it seems to fix on boot)
Now go to /data/data/ and delete com.motorola.camera
Reboot

You should now have a working panoramic camera on Alien.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] katinatez:
Alien v3 running great

Installed Alien update 3 over Alien 2 with faux Kernel, running very strong getting Quadrant scores of 3600-3750. havent used panoramic camera and dont intend too. I'll wait for Ken's fix on update 4 for that. Doing a battery stat wipe now; will report battery life tomorrow.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Start in Recovery, under mounts and format make sure you format /data and /system. Then try again. For some reason it seems that the scripted wipes don't work. I've had the same problem a few times.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Oops. Didn't think about deleting the Camera's data. Should work on Build #4. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
Reason why this is THE ROM

is because it looks like stock android (CM7) , green ,

+1

Not a fan of the D3 camera at all. What happened to the image size settings? All we have now are 5mb or Widescreen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
Install an international kernel with the RAM fix in it after you flash this ROM and you should be okay.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] x51:
Installed this as #2.. it has been stable and fast. Very nice.

I updated my baseband to 1.77.30P and ran a speed test. My speed was terrible 128k - 384k downloads every time. Unfortunately I never ran a speed test before with stock 2.2.2 or the older Baseband (radio).

I decided to try out Faux123's Kernel because it has cifs support (something I lost when moving from 2.2.2) After installing Faux's Kernel I'm seeing 2mb - 4mb download speeds.

As I said, I never tested speed before except with this Rom and 30p radio... I tested maybe 20 times over 5 days and saw consistent <384k downloads. (Uploads were better at about 1mb) It could all be coincidence.

Anyway.. I thought this might be helpful to some...

I'm VERY happy with Alien and Faux123's Kernel...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Alien Theme #3 is online. Feedback is much appreciated! Enjoy!

I really like the theme but hate sifting through a long draw to find apps, cheers!

Sorry for the ignorance but can someone tell me how to install andoid market and stock theme?

I see you have to flash it but I have no idea how. I am charging my phone now to install the rom through android recovery.

Thanks!

Can anyone else confirm this worked for them?

By the way, thanks Ken for all your hard work and thanks to the heavy testers for making things easier on guys like me w/ limited time.

Nice !

Love the new keyboard Ken ! Great work :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
Downloading theme now. Thanks Kenn, you will be getting some Java/Beer money on payday from me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
I did that and the camera/camcorder app no longer shows in my app drawer (fixed permissions, rebooted, etc); this is exactly what happened when the D3 camera was released. Only fix (to get camera working at all again) is to reflash the update or go to the stock camera.

For now, im goign back to the stock atrix gb camera, the d3 camera seems sluggish. Even after deleting /data/data/com.motorola.camera, the stock atrix GB camera's pano mode does not work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guitarcrazy188:
When downloading the update, i wiped dalik chache, wiped cache, and wipe data/factory reset. then i reboot recovery and installed the theme. now i know longer can go into the settings menu i have no service and no wifi. anything that i can do to fix this?

Update: Fixed by installing alien build 3.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] estenh:
Same here, actually. Also, tons of FCs from Blur apps, it seems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
If you're just updating from v2 to v3, there's no need to wipe anything, just flash the update.zip. I suggest you flash the whole v3. Zip now sine you wiped everything
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madquack:
Hmmmmm, after installing build #3 and applying the new alien 3 theme I can't install Facebook from the market. I can search for it and locate it just fine but the option to install it simply isn't there. ALL other apps install just fine,I guess KP doesn't want me on Facebook lolol.

Under the Aura 1.1.1 rom it installs and works just fine with the old and new markets. I'm clueless lol.

Any ideas??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fernandosaez:
Please someone, how do you install the theme and radio? I have been looking everywhere and I dont see any instructios
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MarcoPolo78:
Lockscreen

Maybe something that can be changed in #4 ? If you use a pattern for your lock method connecting the dots, the trace is blue and not green ...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] x51:
Looks good.

Dont see the White on White issue anymore.. and I prefer the dark keyboard. Great work!

Suggestion:It would be cool if you could generate QR codes for direct downloads to the phone on the briefmobile site.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pitmansm:
Anyone have swype crashing? mine crashes when selected from input menu
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kidoh1:
Hey Ken, looks like there's still white on white in the text messaging app. It's where you enter the contact name or phone when sending to a new person.

Other than that, everything looks great. Love the keyboard.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gandalf:
Confirmed that the White on White in the text message app is still there.

Love the dark keyboard.

Maybe theme the texting to have a dark background with white text, similar to the AOSP Mms.apk?

The Mms.apk kinda sucks though - no multi-select, goofed red phone icon for pressing menu -> new message. just theming Messaging, Messages, Universal Inbox, and Conversations .apk's would look great!

**Edit:

The lockscreen slider for the ring/vibrate/silent is corrected and working too!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] guido.rosso:
Can anybody else confirm that searching emails isn't working? I've tried doing a full wipe, still no search in the email app (pressing the search button does nothing).

Is this something that can be fixed, or is it just a feature that's missing from the stock app? Seems really odd that this wouldn't be a part of stock...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CinderWild:
Works for me in regular gmail app, I don't use the email app from moto though if that's what your referring to.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guido.rosso:
Not Gmail. I'm referring to the stock email app that this rom comes with (in place of the motorola one). Gmail is fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Hmmm, I don't think my dialer changed, the multi touch keyboard still looks the same, and the silent no vib slider is still unthemed. I flashed the #2>#3 update. When I flash in cwm it seems to install really fast. Maybe this means its not fully installing? I don't know. I've tried flashing multiple times with the same result. What am I doing wrong?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pizzaapu:
when you say the #2>#3 update do you mean the rom or the theme? Because all of those things change with the theme update, not the rom update itself. So you need to flash the Alien Theme #3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Great ROM .

[Atrix 4G Android Development] zsr977:
Did you by chance not boot into Alien before applying the theme? I did the same thing and just reflashed the rom (wipe version) then booted into alien #3 then restarted phone into cwm applied theme and it all worked fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] askjay:
I recommend u to do "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and then install #3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
This happens only if you apply the Theme after the ROM without rebooting the phone inbetween cwm installs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
Ok I am going to post this in regards to those certain few that feel the need to post: " I flashed build "*" and now this doesnt work" or " I flashed Build "*" and im in a bootloop etc without ACTUALLY READING to see if someone else already asked the same question. Even though the full wipe rom will wipe your phone for you, in good practice DO IT MANUALLY as well. Do a Factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik, Install the ROM, Wipe cache and Dalvik AGAIN. When installing theme for Alien ROM, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install theme. After theme install wipe cache, wipe dalvik AGAIN. I have been flashing between the 3 hottest ROMs since they have been out. I always use Alien as my main ROM. I just enjoy seeing if another is any better. Ken's work always seems to be the best IMO.

So to recap:

ROM---> MANUALLY WIPE data/factory reset,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache,install rom, then WIPE cache and dalvik again after install.

THEME---> Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik, install theme, Wipe cache, wipe dalvik.

I have never had any issues with any rom following these steps. Works everytime...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] vanstorm:
I am planning on flashing this ROM tonight but I want to make sure I have everything right.

1. First if I install this ROM without the theme will everything function as motoblur stock 4.5.91 with all the bells and whistles minus the bloat?

2. Want to make sure steps are correct.

Charge to 100%,

back up everything

boot into tenfars cwm wipe data, cache, dalvik cache.

apply Alien 3 zip with data wipe (safest)

apply radio zip

Does this sound about right?

Thanks for the help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] x51:
Unfortunately, while your post is both informative and easy to understand... The people you wrote it for will not likely read it :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
If your already on GB you dont need to flash the radio. If you are not already on GB then flash the radio.

Follow the steps i posted right before your post. Best to wipe cache and dalvik again after rom install. just cache and and dalvik after install.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
I know just hoping that it might catch the few that half ass read the thread since its towards the last page but it will get buried quit quickly im sure. Just getting tired of reading my email notifications about this thread and about 90% of them are people asking the same damn questions over and over and over lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] whitmell:
Ok, I considered not asking this because it's probably a noob question (I'm an android noob) and it most likely belongs in the Q&A section, but my concern is that I will get answers that do not pertain to the Alien ROM; that maybe something is different about the contacts app in this ROM that is causing my issues. So that's why I'm asking it in here, and feel free to tell me to **** off.

My facebook contacts are not visible in my contacts list. My guess here is that I skipped motoblur setup. That's fine, because I hated the fact that I had a bunch of people in there I didn't want in my contacts list. However, I WOULD like to pull the facebook contact info for the people that are already in my contacts list (even if my only option is to import ALL my FB contacts), so that I can link them up & have their a pic on their contact card, etc. I haven't been able to find a way to do this.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Open to the possibility of using a different contact manager if that would help.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
The only way I know to do this is to setup Blur.

Then go in and add the users to a system group (family, friends, etc) and set that group under Display Options to be the only group displayed. (Choose contacts to display) option.

A bit tedious, but easy to maintain after the initial setup.

I have a little over 160 contacts between Facebook and Google, but I only "see" 55 of them when I open the contacts screen because of the contact group filtering.

You all seem to have good quadrant scores. How come I have "only" 2600 with build #3 and Faux123's kernel ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] whitmell:
ah that's what I was afraid of, but I didn't know about the Groups thing, that would have been useful info back when I was on Gingerblur. Thanks!

So are there really any downsides to setting up Blur? I assumed since Ken added a "skip setup" option that it was generally not desirable. As far as I know this contact thing is the only feature I'm missing since going to a blur-free rom.
