Bugs

So far in v2 (Alien Theme)

In SOUND options, certain alarms volume when adjusted continue to ring after you exit or leave that menu.

In Text messaging app, when typing Names of who to send text to, the Font is invisible.

AND:

Maybe this one is known, but i have experienced the Battery jump issue. Which i had a fix applied for previously. So unsure why this one which includes it, has it occurring again
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zsr977:
Did you try clearing your dalvik cache? I had this same issue then cleared that and haven't had issues since.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
Even after re-applying the Jugernaut fix, this ROM still seems to experience Battery Jumping. I was at 68% battery, rebooted and was at 83% battery, rebooted and install the Jugernaut fix and was at 94%, rebooted again just to see if the battery would jump again after applying the fix and I was at 99%.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
I am seeing the battery jumping issue on v2 as well. From beta 4.5, I wiped data, wiped cache, wiped davlik cache, wiped battery stats, installed ROM without theme, all with a full battery. After starting up, I ran the Battery Calibration app at 100%. Battery % went down faster than would be expected, and after reboot started out at 99%. So, I ran the battery fix v2 zip manuallt and charged back up until it was 100% for 15 minutes or so, ran Battery Calibration app again, reboot into tenfar CWM, wiped davlik cache and battery stats again. I will now run battery down to 0, do a full charge, and see what gives. Will report back on battery life after this. I realize it will be difficult to isolate which step made the difference this way.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:

KP, I flashed the radio you have linked here. It is build 1.77.30R, and I was on the newer 1.97.00R before from the beta4.5 ROM. Why have you chose to go back to the .77 build?

Ok, so when searching for system.img, nothing really came up... some posts with the word "or" in them and other bogus results lol.

anyway, here is my question. I've been holding off from asking just hoping something would come up, or someone else would ask, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I updated with the 2.3.4 OTA update which supposedly has fried a circuit or something inside... no big deal, BUT i canNOT seem to flash any roms... if i flash the system.img from fastboot (which i only have the one from samcripp's fruitcakes), then it will boot just fine, but without a system.img to push/flash... i cannot load ANYTHING. it's really stupid, and I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions or can help me out somehow...

thanks

[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
Ken or someone with similar knowledge please help me. I really need to fix my random freeze up situation. 5 times today now have I had to pull battery because my phone would just freeze up entirely at random. No buttons work or anything, only thing that works is battery pull. Once I pull my battery and reboot everything is fine until the next freeze. Somebody please!! Getting rather annoying for such a beautiful ROM and theme.

I can provide list of frozen apps, SetCPU settings, auto-end apps, etc. if need be.

How am I supposed to do the battery trick when after my phone dies and I plug it in all that happens it either the phone starts up or it boots into CWM immediately. There is no battery image that lets me charge to 100% then turn it on and boot into CWM. I am on 2.2 GingerBlur.

To confirm if this is normal bug or not, is anyone having issue with writing a new SMS. Does the CONTACT'S field display invisible entries/letters when entering a CONTACTS NAME?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Whoa, what are you doing trying to flash this then? You need to be unlocked.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SoberGuy:
Reported several times already.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmgg2k:
when you reboot the phone, it says "unlocked" on the top screen?

if that is the case... you can flash Alien Rom.

Be sure to follow the instructions on page 1. And before anything, you must flash Tenfar´s CWM
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Please do. First check the "freeze" thread to make sure you haven't frozen anything you shouldn't have.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
I have done so countless times, thanks for your patience Vangelis. I can see you've been trying to help me over the last day or so. Any other suggestions beside checking the freeze list? Maybe OCing or UVing??

@ EVERYONE

What do you all think of using this for the boot logo, but simply changing "ANDROID" to "ALIEN" ?

I think it'd be pretty sweet and fit nicely. maybe change the hue of the green to match the hue of the green used in the theme of the ROM

The image is a link to the Original Post that this image was presented in.

All credit goes to rjohnstone for creating this boot image

Backing up stock ROM on rommanager getting ready to install this. Hopefully it goes ok :)

edit: flashed and rebooting...

edit 2: flashed theme zip and rebooting twice.

Theme looks awesome.

Same problem here that I had when I flashed the R9 ROM. Lost root. Looking to see what else I have going on. Looks like wifi hotspot isn't working either. It worked on the R9 ROM for me.

For some reason these ROMs aren't working correctly on my phone. Certain things work, certain things don't. The R9 I used the CWM from the auto bootloader unlock, for this ROM I used ROM Manager CWM. Both produced problems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hotweels258:
Is there any app I can freeze to get rid of the stock voice mail?

After flashing this rom, I'm getting an un-dismissable notification.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
This is actually an obnoxious issue with Swype. Been around since 2.2.2 >.>

You have to completely Swype (and maybe the Swype installer?) and then reinstall it through the installer again.

Of course, this is assuming you're having problems running the Swype beta which you got through their website. If you're having issues with the stock Swype app, then you may have to go through the same process reinstalling from a web download (beta or stable I guess), though first you have to delete the Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypecore.so from /System/lib. More info on that is located in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989633
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SoberGuy:
Are you flashing through ROM Manager? If the ROM comes rooted, I'm not sure how you can lose root by flashing a pre-rooted ROM.

I mean 2.2 as in Firmware and 4.5 Gingerblur. I am unlocked.

How am I supposed to do the battery trick when after my phone dies and I plug it in all that happens it either the phone starts up or it boots into CWM immediately. There is no battery image that lets me charge to 100% then turn it on and boot into CWM. I am on 2.2, 4.5 GingerBlur.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Made2Last:
I did this time, and sorry IT DOES HAVE ROOT. R9 didn't though. For some reason it denied Titanium backup. But its OK now.

I'm doing another reboot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] martyman19828:
I've noticed the wipe roms sometime's don't do a good enough job wiping. I've also had bad luck with wiping via fastboot. Try flashing the 6/30 version of tenfars CWM and wiping data/cache/dalvik cache, that's about the only way i've had completely bug free ROM installs.

I used Kpenns wipe install after fastboot wiping from another ROM and had bugs all over the place, my homescreen button wouldn't work, force closes, etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
Swype has force closed on EVERY 2.3.4 ROM I have used. Uninstall it, run the installer again and you should be good, works every time for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SoberGuy:
That'd be your problem, though. CWM is a preferred method of flashing, and Ken recommends it here for his ROM. Flashing via CWM gave me no issues at all.

I don't mean to knock ROM Manager, but I've never had luck with it, and the few posts on it that I do remember weren't the most positive.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aggielover:
I can get you the alien. It's the one I used in the wallpaper
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PatriotXT92:
Thanks ill give it a try. Hopefully it will cooperate after reinstalling.

Edit: thanks that's all I had to do to fix the problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Made2Last:
So. I could just wipe in CWM from power button volume down rather than rom manager, then install zips again? That won't take an extremely long time, but the Rom seems to be working other then wifi hotspot not working.

P.s. the reason I used Rom manager was because R9 had so many problems when I used cwm on my phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
That's what we're here for! :-)

OC: I don't think so, you can only get as far as the custom kernel allows you.

Under-volting: all phones are apparently different, my set up while on faux's latest at&t kernel is as follows.

P. S. Try clearing the cache & the dalwik cache. If you can "afford" it, do a factory / data reset as well, all that in CWM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OrangesOfCourse:
I apologize if this has already been reported but here are a few bugs I've found. I'm running Alien - Build #2 with Alien theme. Stock kernel.

1) Under setting if you go to Data and Battery manager the background color is white. All other setting menus are black.

2) Under the recent tab in dialer if you have made multiple calls to the same number you will seen an arrow. When you open the arrow the background will be white instead of black.

3) The compass will not calibrate. The compass image never turns green. I have tried rotating multiple times on multiple axes to no avail.

Thats all for now. Loving the rom so far. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Well, do you have the latest CWM? Try that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
Thanks! Will try all that and report back!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
ok battery almost done charging then i will flash this, let me make sure I am correct after rom flash, let boot, reboot into cwm, install theme zip. that part I know, now what do I do to bypass blur without messing up my home button? if i understand correctly when I do the theme i can just hit the home button and select the GB launcher as default. is this right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rubb:
Hey guys,

I´m using gingerblur 4.0.

Do I have to update to the newest ATT update then install Alien or

I can install Alien over gingerblur?

Ty :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
You've found a strange place to ask this question since your on a totally different rom, but anyway, you can get into Tenfer's clockworkmod, there is a option to turn off the phone on the main menu.

Key things to note. When you power off the phone, it should stay off. If you plug in power at that point the motorola dual boot comes up but the phone should/will go into the charge mode, not boot. If you choose power off from cwm you may see the same thing happen> Dual boot> then just wait. After a minute you should find that the screen is off and if you press the volume buttons the battery icon with the status shows on the screen.

Main key fact is: if it is powered off and you plug it in, you have to watch to see if it boots or goes into charge mode. It takes about 30 seconds after plugging it in to know.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Thatkidstevo:
Thanks Kenn! This rom is spectacular! As an Alienware owner, this fits my technological theme with great success! :D ..Kenn, if you decide to take over the world, I'll support you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Upgrading

Something to note:

If your just upgrading from #1 to #2. open the zip and poke around with your PC first, heck you can open it without unzipping it on the phone too.

you'll notice that the upgrade zip is only installing build.prop and a few other files. They are not battery ones so you need not do the whole charge thing if you are upgrading #1 to #2.

On that note, If you are upgrading from #1 to #2 and you are discovering problems, they either existed before or were caused by you. Placebo effect. The changes to build.prop were minor, the apk's fixed and installed will fix things for a very few people. For most people if you have issues It's because you either did not do a full wipe before installing or may be kernel related as many people are running other kernels then the stock one in this ROM.

Example: Before putting on faux123 kernel 1.1.2r The volume_wake was flawless. Since installing the kernel the volume_wake only works if the phone screen just went dark, maybe within 10 seconds. Other wise it doesn't work. Before it was perfect. This is kernel related though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dasfiend:
I bet he's powering off, plugging it in and when he sees the motorola logo he thinks it's booting up. I did that a few times before I realized I needed to be more patient.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
No. Neither of options.

1) Unlock bootloader (pudding thread)

2) install CWM Recovery

(Tenfars new cwm, or rom manager)

3) install it with cwm
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
I bet you 2$ he still has the old cwm..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Avoid the Rom Manager cwm (it's incomplete), stick to Tenfar's.

If I manually go to the contact in Dialer, it shows that I have addresses for people, yet they do not show up in the Google Maps Nav app!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
Man, that's fast!!

So I've been playing with Alien 2 for most of the day today. I installed the ROM, then the theme, then started freezing things in TiBu. After everything seemed solid I installed faux's latest OC kernel with voltage tweaking support. I played with that, stress tested, then froze more things in TiBu.

After I was satisfied I downloaded SmartBench and ran five tests. The fastest is attached!

When I went to delete the dalvik it said removed back button as a message and then my only option to get back was reboot recovery and now I have this error message. I tried a battery pull and boot into it again, same message. What do I do?

Help?

EDIT: Sorry I don't know as much as many of you, I never claimed to. I simply am asking for help on a topic I know not an immense amount on and you folk do, so if you would be kind enough to help me out I would be grateful, hell I will "Thanks" whoever can help. :)

Also I do believe I have to old CWM, I didn't know I needed to update I spend very little time on these forums. Sorry. I didn't see the question about having the latest until just now.I am guessing I have to fast-boot install now but I don't know how to do that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hahmoode:
So i love this ROM and everything you have done kenneth.

So far

1- The ROM is really really fast, and looks stunning and eye grabbing.

2- The video chat Talk does work.

3- The sensitivity is perfect and a lot of the things out of the settings seem to be working fine.

negatives

1- the ROM battery does not seem to work for me (what would u recommend i do to fix this problem) (every time i restart it takes me back to 99% :(

2- The detection in pocket doesn't work.

3- and i don't know why the webtop wont work do you recommend i do anything also about that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
Freaking beautiful ken congrats. only problem i've encountered so far is the same as some of the others, home button vibrates when pushed but does nothing, even the double tap doesn't work. i did clear all caches.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
My previous post about pretending we don't see you was just a joke.

I honestly don't know what you should do next. Probably flash the SBF and start over? Assuming you're on 1.8.3 of course.

And take it easy with the "Thanks" button, they cost a fortune!! :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
First off go back a few pages and read, this has all been said. But:

1)drain battery till phone turns off, plug into charger (leaving it off) and wait for full charge. Boot cwm and wipe battery stats. That gives best result. I found that after a few days the battery reboot to higher voltage went away on its own but a lot if people installed the juggernot fix, its in this rom.

2)it seems to only work from the home screen for me. Try that and see if it works at all for you.

3)read! The op says that you must install webtop from somewhere else. He posts the link.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] divicos:
That's sooo good!!!

can confirm that photo and video sizes in settings are unreadable (maybe white text on white background??)..

anyway.. it seems that some texts, icons, pop-up, and menus are bigger than in motorola theme.. i assume it'is an effect of the darker theme, but stock theme looked better, in this.. but THIS is definitely better because of the colors!! :D

i had little troubles with the market.. it stucks when i tried to download over phone network, and since there's no "cancel" option like in the old one, i had to reboot phone to make download start.. probably it is due to the new market app..

p.s... i'd like to see something different with Gallery and Music app, in next version.. stock gallery is quite slow in zooming, and both apps are too linked to Blur for my tastes.. why can't i see my picasa pictures, without sign in to Blur?? what's the point to this??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
ok guys when i let it load up for the first time before theme install should i have actually logged in or skipped blur before the reboot?

reason i asked is because in the power menu i only have power off and of course the home key not functioning
