I just want to know, is it just me or any one els having bad battery after flashing updated 2.3.4 ???

I am doing Calibration of my battery rit now, since i am unlocked now ill be using this app (it is always recommend to do Calibration after every ROM flash)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result

ill post results as soon as i get some good news :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daymz:
My Atrix on 2.3.4 has never had better battery life! An incredible boost, 1.5x to 2x battery life ! One of the biggest reasons I want to get 2.3.4 working (besides performance, so smooth !)

PS: Never did any kind of battery calibration.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
for me froyo is battery heaven, GB is more like battery life DIE DIE DIE :eek:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I just uploaded the fixed file with a working webtop. Hopefully that will be the last time I have to upload it. :)

Yes, you can just moto-fastboot flash webtop webtop.img, or do up a custom CWM zip. Or you could just reflash the whole thing and not factory reset.

Dates will vary, not all files get changed in the OTA update.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Right now, mine is at 70% after 11 hrs. Nothing to complain about here.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
quick question, are u using setcpu profiles ? and any Battery Calibration app after flashing ROM or do any thing ?

My battery life on froyo is amazing but on GB it sucks dont know y.

I am currently downloading ur updated file (fingers crossed no problems this time :))

let u know if i have any issues :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] moneyrain:
could you please mirror to another site other than 4shared? such as multiupload ? cause i cant download from there :( . Thank u much :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
its downloading f9 for me, max 500 KB/S

all it requires is ur facebook or google acount integration.

do it and it will let u download ;)

Again Downloading and Flashing went like butter :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daymz:
Yesterday I measured it and I was at 80% after 8 hours (with some pretty usage) so that number is also inline with yours.

Thanks again for the update and your help. I will try to fastboot flash this evening.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I did a battery stats reset a few days ago, have since flashed 2.2.2 -> 2.3.4 -> 2.2.2 -> 2.3.4 etc since then. I don't do any let the battery drain to nothing, then charge to full, then hop of your left big toe on a tuesday at 2:31am crap. Either the battery works or it doesn't, lol.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daymz:
Success! I only moto-fastboot'ed the webtop.img (with erase first). I didn't want to flash the whole thing and have to re-unlock, re-ramfix, etc. (I'm at work and don't have RSD installed). Anyways, it worked !

Webtop version now reads: WT-1.2.0-135_BELL

Tonight, I will go do a compare of all .img (between 0831 and 0902) see if any other were damaged by the battery pull. In which case, I will reflash them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Fully darined battery till it died, fully charged the phone without booting the phone, turned on the phone and wiped battery stats.

Hope this work, i dont know any voodoo stuff about left big tow :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xangma:
Flashed this and faux's 1.7 kernel. Everything was great except that the battery jumped in increments of 10%. I flashed the battery fix but it did nothing.

It was also quite annoying that it didn't have a UK locale =[

Thanks for the work though =]
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Ok so my battery is identical to urs, 70% @ 11 hrs but all this time actuale usage is 30 min and rest phone sitting on desk. And by that defination its bad rit?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
If you have good standby time that means there is nothing odd going on to drain the battery, so if you do use it, only that is causing the battery drain. For instance if your radio was from Taiwan or something and it kept polling the towers looking for a signal it would drain the battery faster. Or if the drivers in the kernel or in system were not correct and wouldn't properly suspend you would have extra battery usage.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
I am on stock 2.3.4 gobstoper do i have to flash radio saperately ? And kernel is also stock.

Phone idel 65%

Display 17%

Cell standby 12%

I have a bell atrix and ur 2.2.2 gobstoper is battery friendly with some high usage i manage to get 2 days but since on GB more then one day is blassing.

Can u activate "delivery reports" on sms setting?

I've discovered the option with sql editor, but it doesn't works, seems it needs some hack
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I just uploaded a companion CWM zip for the stock Bell 2.3.4 with deodexed app and framework and some tweaks.

todo list

Google video chat

sms delivery notification

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I have never used the phone for more than a day without charging so I have no idea where I would begin to figure that out. No, wasn't suggesting you do any radio flashing.

Cheers!

Others experiencing battery issue.

Come join us over here:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/459612

We're all complaining about the Bell Gingerbread battery issue. We've isolated it down and have a temp workaround in place.

Call the number for bell tech support (its not bell customer service) complain about battery drain issue. They said I was the only one that called in.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
I just wish I could, but yet after a fresh RSD to 2.2.2, IHOP install and CWM install, I lost CWM after installing the first file. I tried reflashing it, fastboot says OKAY, but phone says "triangle !" when I go in recovery. Super user was not there and after install it keeps force close...​
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Yes, it is a stock CWM zip, that is intentional in case recovery gets checksummed during an OTA.

You need to sbf flash IHOP_Bell, then fastboot flash a CWM recovery, get into recovery before booting android and get rid of the install-recovery.sh script in /system/etc. The stock GB resets recovery to stock each boot if it doesn't match the checksum. The second zip fixes that for you automatically..

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
NFhimself.... what ate your opinions on battery life..... is it that bad?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I read books for a few hours at night before going to sleep, when I get up it's over 50%, it's better than my Archos tablet for battery life. If it was a big problem I'd be all over it trying to fix it. Does it drain battery more than 2.2.2? Maybe, not sure, I don't use the phone exactly the same way each time between charges. I am just glad I don't have a HTC phone where you have to keep the thing plugged in all day long. :)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Quick question can i use froyo radio and kernel on GB?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Radio yes, kernel probably not without bugs, you need the GB ramdisk at any rate in boot.

The .33 radio seems pretty good to me, seen up to 3MB/s uploads.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ken204:
base on my knowledge from desire z you can used any radio so have to find load each radio, calibrate battery monitor it for a few days and load a different one until you find the one that give you the best result.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sharms115:
hey i just recently installed the first gobstopper file and rebooted my phone.

Now it no longer says unlocked on my motorola boot screen and i cant get into recovery.

I also dont think i have root anymore...

So my question is in order to install the second file do i have to re unlock the bootloader, root, and install cwm again?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Just sbf flash ihop, don't do oem unlock, go to fastboot, flash a CWM recovery.

You are rooted, btw, just need superuser.apk.

Have a drink every post I make with fastboot, CWM, or sbf. :)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
Now that I now that we can RDS to 2.2.2 (I already did it 4 time), reroot, reflash IHOP, CWM, install stock 2.3.4 and deodex..... Should I still freeze what I don't need or can I just delete .apks? Anyone has a list of safe stuff to freeze or delete?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Do it either way, if you run into problems, you can just reflash the zip or restore the system partition via moto-fastboot.

Cheers!

Hi,

New deodexed file out, see OP.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Hi,

i have a confession i dont know what is the meaning of "deodex" i read it every ware and think this must be some thing cool and every one is doing it to their rom so can u plz tell me what is it ?

and 2nd question

when i flash IHOP sbf what actualy got flashed cos other then ram problem and ability to unlocked bootloader i dont see any thing noticeable (now i just flash it to remind me phone that it has unlocked bootloader)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Deodexed, this means that the .odex files in /system/app and /system/framework are merged into their corresponding apk files.

This makes for easier theming and modfication.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] desidre:
Is gtalk working in new version if yes can u tell me how to make it work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
I got a lot of force close on the deodex: motorola process, social status widget amongst other.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Hydrohs:
Did you factory reset and wipe cache after installing it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
Yes I did.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I haven't got to that yet. What I would like to do is get webtop over

HDMI working/ported.

EDIT: unknown's hdmi for ORFR gets you webtop over hdmi but for some reason you can't lauch apps. Anybody get anywhere with this without resorting to a custom webtop image?

Is it just a matter if copying talk2.apk from the gb leak to /system/app?

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Did you apply ramfix? Trying to think what could cause that.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
No I did not. I had never had problem with ram on the first deodex.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
With the previous one I put tenfar's CWM recovery in there, already ram fixed. Regardless, it shouldn't be force closing anything.

I can toss in romracer's CWM recovery, any colour preference? :)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
I personally did the whole process with romracer's orange CWM. When I use Tenfar's I can only read EXT-SD, which is not suported, so I need to do an install that fails and then it sees my INT-SD.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
That doesn't sound right. I can use romracer's or tenfar's unlocked, browse to internal or external and see the zip files. I don't have any requirement for the zip to be in any paticular place. I would run the ramfix.zip and reboot the phone into recovery again. When you go into recovery, connect via adb and do a cat /proc/meminfo | head -n 2, if you only have 300MB free then you need to ramfix your recovery.

Does the zip install correctly? Can do you grab /tmp/recovery.log and paste it here?

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
How do I check to see if it works? I removed talk.apk from /system/app and added talk2.apk from the GB leak to /system/app and deleted /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@Talk.apk@classes.dex and rebooted. I can log in fine.

Can u upload the talk.apk from bell leak so I can try

Nfhimself's method work. My gtalk has camera I used a apk I found on the forum don't forget to set permission rw-r-r ... I've tried this method before I don't think it worked cause I didn't delete dalvik.. but it works now. Thank nfhimself

Actually my talk keeps force closing when i send a video I think I need bell leak talk apk

Please confirm:

I am trying to reinstall w/deodex.

1. Wipe / Factory reset in CWM

2. Install zip 2.3.4

3. Boot into Android

4. Install SU

5. SBF intl-fix-try1.sbf

6. Reboor fastboot + erase recovery + intall recovery.img + fastboot reboot

7. Load Android + Turn off phone

8. Install deodex

9. Reboot
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DOOOLY:
Does your deodex give the atrix a speed boost of any kind, after i did the ota my Atrix its kinda slow now.

If i reinstall 2.3.4 with your Gobstopper will be better than the ota ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
Well using this my phone won't boot. It stays on the unlock motorola logo screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I ran across this during testing, just reflash the stock 2.3.4 and the deodex file. It was a bug in passing along the command line in the script. I will probably modify mkbootimg to read a file instead, for now I just avoid using --cmdline and use ramfix.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
There are a few tweaks in there, and it does free up some space in /system, before it is around 14MB, after 48MB free.

If there is a tweak you want, just let me know what it is, explain what it is for, and I will see if I can add it in.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I added it to the deodexed zip.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fearthefox:
So If I may ask what are the intructions or step by step to use these files? Do you need to apply both of them?

Thanks for your help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I had a look at settings.mkitso in /system/etc/motorola//system/etc/motorola and it's already set to 1.

To enable, bring up messaging app, not text messaging itself, the main one that may have universal inbox, hit settings, messaging settings, text messaging, and then delivery reports.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
1. Unlock your phone.

2. moto-fastboot flash recovery CWM_recovery_djour.img

3. boot into CWM recovery

4. select install from sdcard, select internal or external, wherever you put the zips.

5. select the first zip, install it.

6. select the second zip, install it.

7. If you had a previous version of android on it, factory reset.

8. select reboot

The reasons there are two zips is 1. The first is stock GB with no mods, you can apply an OTA to it, it's handy to have to reset to default. 2. Adding tweaks as I go, it's easier to upload 130MB than 800MB each time.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Here is an alternate framework-res.apk with the minimum auto brightness set to 8, I tried 2 but it was way too dark on my phone. Trying 8, will see later tonight if it's really any different than the default 20.

What is CWM_recovery_djour.img?

I know Tenfar's or Romracer's....

[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
I got the du jout thing..... I just thought...Hey wat if NFHimself added something and wanted to be sarcastical..... By the way, I did a fresh install from 2.2.2 and I still get that darn com.motorola.service.main that FC.... What the hell is that and how do I fix it...... Even did a factory reset before installing 2.3.4 and after installing 2.3.4..... Can it be something on my SD card?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] desidre:
Doesn't work :( force close
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zeidof:
Thx for reply, but does the delivery report work?

If yes, can u make a .zip file only for that to install?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
Please, I am really bugged by the bug of com.motorola.service.main FC on me all the time, even after factory reset, RSD to 2.2.2 and the whole process of IHOP and fastboot flashes and bla, bla, bla.....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IUH1991:
Would the new Bell radio be compatible with Alien ROM, or is it drastically different from .30P?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dascope:
I am also having this issue - installed the 2 zip files from the first post back-to-back... did the IHOP-TenfarRecovery-FactoryReset-InstallTwoZips-FactoryReset-ClearDalvikCache ... did not use Titanium Backup to restore my apps, I reinstalled everything from the Market... phone works perfect and is super fast.

BUT, I am also getting this com.motorola.service.main FC every few minutes when using the phone. And the fingerprint scanner doesn't work when I try to setup security... ideas?

EDIT: Fingerprint scanner now works after a reboot. Dismiss that issue, still getting the com.motorola.service.main FC though...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

It should be just an updated version of .30P, but I don't really know anything about it. If you are on the Bell network, that is what I would use.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I know that the option is already there in the stock firmware, from Bell, I don't use it myself to know if and how well it works. The tweak to enable it is already done in the stock firmware, so I really have no where to go with that. See more recent post.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
If you have a backup of your pds partition, I would try restoring that. If after flashing all the other partitions with the ones on my phone, and clearing the rest except for pds, either there is more hidden on the phone I can't access or it's in pds. You might want to backup an clear your internal storage and sdcard. Also, you might want to redownload the zip files and/or re-copy them to the phone. Look at logcat and see if there is anything more specific about the force close.

I have never flashed an sbf from telstra or anywhere else on the currect phone I am using, so other than possibly IHOP_BELL, there should have been no changes to the pds partition outside of the phone itself.

I could include pds in the zip but then everyone would have my phone's MAC address, etc, not to mention it's a likely hard brick if interrupted.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
I never back up my pds. Would you be so kind to tll me how to do it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] creativedevil:
A few weird thing I have always noticed, with Bell versions.

I unlocked the Bootloader, rooted the phone, decided to have a different ROM, flashed all of them available, finally liked one by Diviance - tested the crap out of it, for all of his different versions. Finally wanted to try this ROM out as well, flashed it through CWM, was able to get into my phone. Works fine, decided to install the deodexed file as well, tried going back to CWM and oops... CWM disappeared. Don't know where it went. Also, a big oops... my phone no longer says it is unlocked when I turn on my phone. I was surprised, couldn't figure it out. Decided to follow the Unlock method again, used RSDLite and used International Pudding method, used moto-fastboot commands, when I asked the command to unlock the bootloader, it said it already is unlocked. Ok. Fair enough, since it was unlocked already. Tried going back into CWM, still not showing up, fine, flashed recovery.img file through command line, wow, it worked, i was able to get the same good'ol CWM working, did a bunch of other things, installed deodexed file, got back into my phone. Even more happy.

Was a bit curious as to find out if my CWM was still there or not, and not to my surprises, it was actually not there again. Again flashed it through command line, and it was there after. Haven't tried loading into CWM after, but I am still doubtful as to it is there or not.

Another problem, usually, with any of my phones, either they are factory unlocked like nexus, or they are SIM Unlocked like my Atrix(On Rogers, using Bell Atrix), whenever I am done flashing, when I log back into Market, there are tons of apps available, but after flashing the Bell 2.3.4 version, now I don't see all those apps. When looked for a few of them, they do show up in search result, but they are generally not listed in TOP Free List. Biggest issue, if I looked up any specific application, it doesn't show up at all. When I looked up the same app through my Market Account on computer, app will come up, but when tried installing it, it says my device's country is not compatible. Specific example, NFS Shift. I have it ever since, have it installed on this same damn phone ever since I had stock 2.2.1 on it. Installed it again and again, every time flashed different ROM. This is the first time, on a Bell phone, with Bell ROM installed, I can't see/find/install the same application.

Is there someone experiencing same issues? Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

One more thing I noticed, it is good, battery really stayed calm, with other ROMs battery would heat up all the way to 49 Celcius, but with this Bell ROM, it has gone as far as 41 only.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Random Canadian:
Any chance you could pre-root this update?

I cant seem to get gingerbreak to work on it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IUH1991:
Is the radio bp.img? I tried flashing that and it didn't take. Still shows .30P.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Just install super user.su is already there as well as shsu.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
You can't fastboot flash radios. BP.img is correct. You need to make a cwm zip.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
There is a thread discussing it, but from cwm recovery, connect via adb and type dump_image /dev/block/mmvblk0p3 /sdcard/pds.img. (only because dump_image isn't incl in /system/bin.) This is best done as soon as you get your phone, and before flashing sbfs on it. :)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
The difference between this and ATT "roms" is they are generally fruitcakes, not gobstoppers. lol A gobstopper contains all the phone partitions, not just boot and system, it also has radios and bootloaders. So, if you flash a stock gobstopper, it's going to get you a stock phone, so you end up without the unlocked message, and your recovery is stock. :)

That is why you want to install the deodexed zip in the same cwm recovery session that you install the stock one, the next boot you will be stock otherwise and you have to install the unlocked bootloader again and put a cwm recovery back on. The deodexed zip undoes the stock bootloader install before it gets saved and removes the GB script that mess with recovery.

Stock GB recreates the recovery partition if it's checksum doesn't match stock. This is addressed in the deodexed zip by deleting install-recovery.sh in /system/etc and the patch file in /system.

Some market issues are likely due to the lcd density not being 240, there is a Google bug wrt the "my apps" section, or was, if you locate the app in the market they will install, and afterword show in my apps. Also, if you have gameloft games they are a PITA, if you buy with one firmware installed, then change to another, they think you have a new phone and won't install. Also, there are games that only run on GB or Froyo and when you switch they are not there.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Those having the com.motorola.main force close, what tegra part do you have? Mine is 1100, I know one with the problem is d00.
