[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Remember that a phone is essentially a small computer. It's not just the CPU which is involved. Memory timings, voltages, and cooling all play a huge part in OC'ing a CPU. This may be where the problem lies. If the phone requires memory timings which make it extremely unstable/unuseable at an OC higher than 1.1GHz, then it will always be a no go, no matter how you look at it. Similarily, if you have to step up the voltage, you induce more heat, and there is no active cooling in a phone.

In essence, there are many reasons why the OC may have stopped at 1.1GHz. It seems people really need to understand overclocking overall before commenting on what is and is not possible.

There is also the chance that nobody has really looked at this as important because all the work has gone into creating CM7, etc. I would say OC'ing past 1.1GHz is low on the totem pole for the few devs who are capable of doing it.

kholk claims to be releasing a 1.2 kernal today, I believe lt to be for testing to make sure it works but we shall see.

[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Where did you see this?

@caelant,

Those are some great points. You're right I didn't know any of that but again, that's part of the reason I wanted this thread to get active, so people can come in and shed more light on the situation, like you have.

and I agree, hopefully cm7 just occupied their time as I've already suggested. That at least gives me hope its still possible when they do look :p

Saw it in the eternity project kernel thread. He posted about it this morning.

[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Yea but so much more is gained like better multitasking.

Kholk says he's released a 1180mhz kernal but didn't work some posted.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
+1 :)
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Also there has been attempts to produce 1.2 ghz by atrix kernel devs and they told me that they simply have not gotten it to boot. I'm guessing it has to do with ram timings or voltages.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G General] whatsaqazza:
I'm not sure its the same thing but I think I read some where that faux enabled the phone to be able to oc to 1.2 but setcpu and other things didn't recognize it.... only to 1.1 which makes me feel like this is a nasty thing from Motorola... ill try to find the post
[Atrix 4G General] whatsaqazza:
Ya I was right its all over the eternity kernel project
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Looks like kholk may get it to about 1.2 or maybe 1.3 but sounds like going higher is a no go?

So I rooted and Flashed a new Rom. I flashed CoreDroid I also Flashed LeeDroid Patch for the Color mod. It works great, but I have one Problem. When I open Root Explorer I wont give me read write in the Build.prop. I want to do the tweaks that are out., but I cant. I have tired to uninstall and reinstall the app, but still no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Firstly, this should have been posted in the Q&A section as your issue really is neither an app nor a theme! Your issue is you are having trouble editing the build.prop. Secondly, make two back ups of your build.prop and make your edits to one of the back ups. Then copy and paste to /system making sure to overwrite the original, reboot and you're done.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Will flash fine. Just replace the update binary with the one from the ROM you have on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Redsilver:
i have used it 6 times on the atrix, twice on kennethpens gb leak and 4 times using cherrypi.

follow the directions in the uot and all should be good. you will run into recovery error (Status 0) while flashing it so to save you some time there is a workaround in the uot how to section:

so yea unzip the uot file and replace the update-binary file in uot file with the one in your rom then zip it and flash should work like a charm. CaelanT said the same thing above but i just wanted to be clear.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aaron.a:
using alien 4 i can't get it to work.

i've used the alien 4 theme files, and replace the update binary with the one found in that theme, and with the one found in the alien 4 rom. no luck..

i also used the files from the alien 4 rom, and replaced the update binary with the one in the rom. no luck..

every time i get error 0. this was the same issue on alien 2. never tried alien 3 but i assume it wouldn't be much different
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] rob219:
upload the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from the rom zip your on (build 4) create the theme, download it, unzip it and replace the update binary with your roms then rezip it and name it whatever you want. i have done this with at(honeycomb)rix rom that iam on with 3 different themes i have made and they all worked.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aaron.a:
I've done exactly that 5 or 6 times.. am I missing something simple like one of the options to the left on the upload page..
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
How are you zipping the files up after changing the update binary?

Assimilated via WinBorg 4G
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] beatphreek:
I just made one last night for the first time. I dis t unzip my file from UOT. I had unzipped the alien 4 rom to upload the frameworks so I just grabbed the updater file and put it where it goes via windows explorer... it worked without issue.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aaron.a:
i'm on ubuntu. the first time i just dragged the update binary into archive manager. then i tried unzipping the uot, replacing the update binary, then zipping the 4 folders by selecting them, and using right click>compress so it would look like the original archive. still error 0
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Unzip

Replace update binary

Install 7-Zip

Select all files and right click them

From dropdown select 7-Zip > Add to archive

Set archive format to 'zip' and compression to 'store'

Click OK

<edit> Oh, wait.........I don't know Ubuntu. Is there a 7-zip version for this?

Doesn't look like it. The problem could be the way you are re-zipping the files.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aaron.a:
well what i did is reflash the rom (alien 4) and not install the alien 4 theme. then i did exactly what the site says to do and it worked fine. so apparently trying to mod the alien theme, or overwrite the alien theme with uot framework just doesn't work. hell if i know why, nor do i care. it works! =D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] beatphreek:
Anyone have any idea why my battery icons didn't work? Everything else works... well acutually not the 5 bar signal bar and 4G icon but that's because they probably weren't in the icon set I picked. But I chose a rather stock looking battery icon with a different color scheme and it still shows up as green?

I'm running Alien4 without the theme, I even did Notach's 1% Battery Mod and no Carrier mod but when I re-applied my UOT theme it of course over-wrote it.

I assume I just need to use that systemui.apk and framework.res and then make my modifications?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude360:
Hi,

I have recently rooted, full s-offed and hbooted my friends Desire.

Im a DHD user myself and am trying to get to grips with how you guys handle your devices when it comes to roms.

So far, I 'get' the hboot situation and partition layouts etc and have taught my friend.

Now Im getting a bit lost with the whole sdext part of it as well as the apps/data2sd side.

I know how to partition and get them applied but lose it on actually how they work when it comes to roms. Any rom that uses normal layouts such as CM7 I get.

Take for example:

[ROM][Cool3D Sense 3.0][26 July]Cool Sensation v6a|Stable|CM7/r2|DATA++|STOCK

I get this part:

So I on put CM7r2, now how do the partitions work?

Is it Partition 1 = /system, 2 = /data?

I tried it with 1=512 & 2=1gb but it just froze with only SystemUI running after the lockscreen.

I can see what the roms doing via the zip/updater-script but this whole partition thing is lost on me.

Any help is appreciated!

On a related side note, this will also help us provide support for lower nand devices with our Flashable ROMCleaner 2.0 we have recently released.

Once we get this down we are pretty much able to support most roms!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I think the easiest, briefest way to explain the ext3/4 partition is to think of it basically as an extension to your internal memory. Don't think of it as being a partition on your SD Card (even though it is) but an extra bit of internal memory. This ext is where apps will be stored if you have a2sd.

To avoid app piracy, many apps can't be stored on the SD Card (normally), so this extension to your SD Card is created to store them, that's why the ext partition isn't formatted as FAT32. If it was formatted FAT32 the phone wouldn't recognise it as being part of itself (if you like), but rather still part of the SD Card.

Hope this makes sense.

EDIT: Just re-read your post and if you've flashed the HBOOT it will automatically repartition depending on which HBOOT you flashed. You don't need to repartition anything. If you already ext partitioned your SD Card this won't be affected.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude360:
So when a rom installs to the sdext partitions its pretty much 'symlinking' the data which would normally reside on the internal partition?

When the system want to access this file then would it still 'see' it as sitting on the internal?

If it does then it would make our cleaning script a lot easier lol

As for the hboot, I didnt know it actually created the partitions for you when flashed as he had already got 2 on his sd.

Would this explain the freezing with the roms then? With Cool3d it seems that /system is split between internal and sdext so Im assuming the sdext side of it wasnt getting copied across?

May have something to do with the order of partitions as well, 1=system 2=data?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
First of all the SD card needs partitioning, which I'm guessing you did, with something like GParted? You would create either a ext3 or ext 4 partition, minimum 512MB. Normally a ROM states min. size for ext partition but the thread for Cool3D doesn't seem to so 512MB or 1GB would be ok. If in doubt pm the dev to make sure.

Cool 3D requires ext 4 which needs aligning before flashing the ROM (but if the SD Card already has ext 3 this will be converted automatically when aligning to ext 4)

Then flash the correct HBOOT (choice of 4 listed on the thread) using fastboot then flash the new ROM. The thread also states you need to have specific Radio and RIL. All "stuff" you need is linked in the first post. Just follow the instructions on the first post and you can't really go wrong.

The freezing you mention could be caused by not aligning your ext partition first.

Same problem - stuck at boot screen after flashing ROM

Hello there,

I wanted to root my phone, & I think I have done everything I think I should.

1. Rooted using unrEVOked method.

2. Flashed AmonRA 2.0.1 recovery

3. S-OFF using AlphaRev 1.08

4. Installed CM7r2 hboot

5. Flashed the latest radio

I wanted to flash LeeDroid's ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038195

I also tried to flash these ROMs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054435

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040121

Everything went well up until first boot. It stuck at the boot screen! (Joker with S-OFF card)

Everytime before I flash a ROM, I:

1. Wiped ALL userdata

2. Wiped sd:ext

3. Wiped cache

4. Wiped dalvik cache

I thought the size of my previous SD Card (2GB) might be the cause, because I can't create enough partition size for Ext2 & Ext 3. I use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to partition my SD Card.

Therefore, I bought a 4GB SD Card to resolve the issue. Still not successful.

I did a Nandroid backup, but unfortunately when I wanted to restore to the stock Froyo, it also stuck at the boot screen! Backup was completed, but stuck at the boot screen.

I pulled the battery after at least 20 minutes at the boot screen.

My phone is:

AlphaRev CM7

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF (erasesize 40000)

HBOOT-0.93.1000

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

Onscreen keyboard tracing control.

I had forgotten I'd posted this for months, then just searched and found it and realized I still don't understand if there's any control we've got over when the onscreen keyboard works in 'tracing' mode, and when it doesn't.

It does seem to me that it works much less in tracing mode than when I got it. I've got the 3.2 SW, rooted, and the stock ROM and Kernel aboard, so it is likely not anything I've changed.

When I look at the keyboard settings I don't see anything that addresses this so any help would be appreciated,

The best thing you can do for security is make sure you don't have any networks stored as netgear or linksys because if it finds that network in a public place it will connect to it and someone can packet sniff your passwords
