I was on winmo for a while and loved it to be honest but i went to sd android back in January an the google syncs convinced me and not long after i got nand and Ive not once looked back, i went back on winmo about a month ago just to see whats new etc and think i had it on for about 20 miutess before i flashed android straight back so its always worth a shot so id test the sd builds first to get your own opinion and then build on from there :)

Good luck and enjoy the future....

Before i try to install a new rom what are the advantages over stock?

Thanks chrisi
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omni_angel7:
See the (rather extensive) features section in the OP of any of the fine ROMs available. I use CherryCrust with the ProDX theme (thanks, Noattach) as well as the Argos font pack ported by Whipon. I am very satisfied with the tweaks and mods that navalynt has ported and/or baked up (many thanks). It is well worth reading up and doing it right (read the directions, warnings and prerequisites 10x over before doing anything!). I hope I answered your question, as I don't really see any other way it can be interpreted. Don't forget the thanks button :D

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
+1 to the person above, each ROM thread has a features list in the first post.

If you are move comfortable with stock rom, you can sort of "create your own rom" by installing stock deodexed 2.3.4 and applying the mods you want from there (themes, custom kernels, battery % mod, tethering mod, webtop mod, sd card fix, etc.....)

Installing all of this is really easy if you have an unlocked CWM recovery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joelesprod:
I installed a custom rom for the first time yesterday (Aura) And im very pleased with the difference! i think you would like it!. even if theres the posibility of bricking your device its worth it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
It really comes down to how bored you are with stock? There are people that have gone down the custom route, and have gone back. It's all about personal preference.

If you are happy with stock, you may wanna stick it out and spend some time reading about the custom kernals. That way when you do eventually get bored, you'll have a much better chance of upgrading successfully.

Definitely try to "Baby steps" your phone as much as possible... :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terradualcore_ftw:
Thanks guys guess i will have to read up on each rom.. a custom rom is basicly the whole OS vs just doing a kernel upgrade? Id really love to go balls out and do the rom but we will see.. there is no way to bring back a bricked device is there? What could cause a brick besides not flashing right? I wish there was someone local that could do the rom for me lol. I guess im going to have to do some reading.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terradualcore_ftw:
Also i rooted it using fastboot... now whats this i see with unlocking through fastboot? I need to unlock the phone before i can even think about flashing a rom?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwick60073:
There are 2 types of bricks; soft and hard. A hard bricked phone turns it into a paperweight. A soft bricked phone can be recovered. There is a sticky post on the developer forum that describes how to avoid hard bricking your phone.

The stock vs custom ROM issue is a truly personal preference as described above. The only way to get more comfortable with it is by reading and doing. READ FIRST!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joelesprod:
YES, unlock the bootloader first. i soft bricked mine when i was learning how to do it.

I think putting a cdma rom on a gsm device is asking for trouble...and may possibly lead to a bricked device.
[HTC Sensation] suprakarma:
There's also unbranded ones, not just the one from Sprint otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to ask
[HTC Sensation] adam_deluxe:
Why would you want that? Seeing that the stuff that actually differs from a Sensation ROM would all be dependent on the EVO 3D's hardware, it wouldn't be that much of an advantage. ;)
[HTC Sensation] suprakarma:

Despite the 3d enhancement, evo and sensation share hardware similarities, imcluding gsm choises is not only cdma.

I like to keep Sony original ROM because I had some problems with Froyo (I tried Froyo and SROM based on Froyo). But is there a way to get the dialer software, the email software and the Android keypad for the original ROM ?

Or will these apps not work on original ROM ?

Hey Guys,

I'm having trouble with my NC and CM7. I decided to upgrade from the most recent stable version cm7 to the most recent nightly (149 I believe) I am installing to emmc, and using the clockwork bootable SD to do the install. I have wiped the system, data, cache then installed cm7 then Gapps. I go to reboot, and pull the SD it will get to the cyanogen mod boot screen and says loading... under the cyanogen logo. I figured first time it was booting it would take a while, after 15+ minutes of the same screen I realized its not going to work, so I tried an earlier nightly (146) and same story.. Is there something I'm doing wrong that would be different from how I installed stable to how I install a nightly? I can't see how it would be any different, but I could be wrong.. thanks in advance everyone!
[Nook Color General] w8wca:
Did you try to power it off, then power it up again?

Sometimes after a install it does not complete the first reboot.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
If you just do the upgrade, then why you wipe /system and /data?

Wipe /cache is enough.

You know if you wipe /system & /data, then you lost everything and you have to redo the whole thing, right?
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Not sure why you went through all that when you can just update through ROM Manager. In any event, did you wipe the Davlik cache?
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
As a data point, I installed n149+gapps this morning, wiped Dalvik only, all via Rom manager, and I'm running just fine.

hi. i updated my phone to 2.3.4 (sys 4.5.91 us) and i cannot get my root back. im pretty new to root but i do not want anything but root. not unlock, not new rom, not anything except root.

i had the latest version of Android and used Gingerbreak and i was extremely happy as it was so easy for me to do. i had root and that's all i wanted. but now... i updated to 2.3.4 and i did not unroot before this (maybe this is my problem) but my phone is fine, everything runs great. but i cannot root it. i used this walk-through http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/motorola-atrix-hacks/4414-how-root-motorola-atrix-all-versions-including-stock-locked-2-3-4-a.html and finished it all. everything went through and i still don't have root.

i have done it 3 times now and successfully competed the steps. i still have no root. can someone direct me or walk me through another way of rooting or by chance giving me advice on what to do so i can get root? im not a scientist and i know it doesn't take one...but all i know is i just cant get my phone rooted and want it rooted badly.

someone please help me. i searched all over the forums and keep finding the steps i followed and then also found unlock steps(something i do not want to do)

all i want is root. please keep that in mind.

I used this method on my OTA gingerbread.

At first, it gave me errors and pretty much wouldn't work past command line, but in reality, Superuser was installed and I was able to launch it.

Do you have Superuser in your app drawer?
[Atrix 4G General] Hammernok:
yes i do have super user. and i am able to launch it. but it does not unlock anything.

i got no errors. i did everything correctly and still i dont have root access. maybe im missing something?? i try to run Titanium backup and it said no root access. said the same thing with Root explorer.

superuser runs... but it doesnt have anything unlocked. i try to update superuser and it wont let me.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
hmm, you can try going to manage apps and clearing superuser's data, and then maybe attempt the process again.

I had to clear data to get superuser to do anything at all when I rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] Hammernok:
i read that before i attempted it the third time. i cleared data then completed the steps and still... my superuser runs but apparently i do not have root access.

superuser does not ask if i want to allow for root access for any programs like TB or Root Explorer as it should.
[Atrix 4G General] Hammernok:
and i meant that i had read about that before attempting the entire process for the third time. i read on another post that someone had it installed already and had to clear the data so... i did that before my third attempt.

still no root!

We currently have done a fuzzer for the Android syscall Mkdir(). We now expanding to more sys calls and also implement a combination of both grey and white box fuzzing.

You can down and keep to date with our progress on androidfuzzing.com.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psaxef:
Hi everyone,

My g7 is having problem with wifi (and bluetooth, but I mostly use wifi). The issue is the wifi signal strength is extremely low. Only when I put the phone just next to the wifi AP, it will get a strength of 3-4 (not full) slots. In most cases if you walk away from the AP for about 5 meters, the strength will go down to almost nothing and becomes very unstable.

bluetooth? even in discoverable mode, it is not discoverable.

I think it might be a problem of some kind of antenna inside it. how could I check? i have disassembled it.

I noticed when I remove the chin of it, the phone signal will go to zero (the GSM signal) and I know there is an antenna in it. Isn't the wifi sharing antenna with the mobile network?

My radio is latest according to the forum. Trying cm7.0.3 and oxygen 2.2.1, both same issues.

To be completely honest, my battery life hasn't been very good lately. I'll take it off the charger at about 7AM in the morning. It'll be about nearly dead (in the orange or red) at about 6-8PM. Before the update, i'd get a lot more life out of it honestly. Whether I was using it or not.

The phone, with good roms and careful app use, does well when in standby. Perhaps 5-8 days, full standby. I left my phone at a warranty centre and after resetting it, battery usage not showing display at all, in 48 hours it had dropped to 70%. LG's spec stats 20 days.

As soon as the phone is used heavily it's like 2 hours. Tethering, 2.5. Angry Birds, 2 hours.

There is this music streamer I use called Audiogalaxy, cause subsonic doesn't work right on EB/faux. If you pause the music (no stop button) it will drain 10-20% per hour on standby. I'm so happy the "kill app on long-press back button" feature is here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
Using tumblr, listening to the radio, YouTube, etc. Pretty heavy use and it's still holding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
the problem is you don't want to keep draining your battery below 50% everyday, since charging from below 10% back to 100% would be considered 1 full cycle, and lithium batteries average about 500 cycles or 2 years, which ever comes first, before they can no longer hold more than 80% of it's advertised capacity.

You want to exercise the battery and start recharging at about 50% back to full, this way you can increase the cycles from 500 up to 2000 recharge cycles.

Just a tip I learned researching lithium batteries when I used to have an electric bicycle.

Hopefully Toshiba does implement their SCIB battery technology into cellphones soon...

I have a rooted Atrix on stock Gingerbread (I updated via OTA, the same for any previous updates.)

I rooted using the preinstall method, it worked fine.

Here are my questions:

I want to flash a custom ROM. Maybe Ninja. Is this possible when I updated OTA instead of flashing with an unlocked bootloader?

What are the steps required for flashing and still keeping all my data? I'm concerned about application data, camera roll, sms (I use Go-SMS), etc.

Is there a way I can make a "mirror" backup with all my data, so I can recover from it once flashing? (Is this nandroid?)

Once flashing a ROM, would flashing another rom or updating to a newer version require me to wipe my data and start over again?

I know ROM Manager recently supported the Atrix. Should this be my application of choice for CWM?

Pretty much, I want to flash a custom ROM and get all my **** back lol. I also want to be able to upgrade in the future while still keeping my data.

Sorry for being a n00b, this is my first android phone, and I'm loving it so far.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
You must unlock bootloader if you want custom ROMs.

If you updated to 2.3.4 OTA flashing pudding sbf will semi hard brick your phone. But it's ok. You can recover by repeating the fastboot commands in the Pudding thread instructions. Or just follow instructions here:

http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader

From there on you will need to flash unlocked CWM recovery.

From there on flashing custom roms is the easiest thing ever. :D
