Eehm, no. I for one cannot wait until the team is done with this and goes back to developing their own roms again!
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
I just wanted to give a thank you to the team, especially for being generous enough to release this pre-beta (although I would imagine it benefits them as well to get bugs out for the actual beta). Even as is, this is great work in my opinion. It's CM as intended. I have been and will continue to be on the look out for bugs and will report in the proper manner if I find anything that has not already been spotted.

Really guys, don't let the sense of entitlement some people around here have get to you. You took a badass phone and are sending it off of the charts in my opinion. This will definitely expand what the Atrix is capable of.
[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
Just installed it, working nicely. I have an idea on how to add fingerprint support, it's a longshot, but it just might work!
[Atrix 4G General] TechnoNeto:
How is webtop and entertainment center working on this?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
No webtop or entertainment center.
[Atrix 4G General] Maroon Mushroom:
Haha I was so distracted with this rom that I completely forgot about those.
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
why is there no thread in the development section on this

btw: does fingerprint reader work, since its SDK was revealed
[Atrix 4G General] briggie108:
Because the dev's have not posted there themselves. Posting links to other peoples development in the dev forum is not a good idea. Also they have not been able to give full support for what is available yet. At least that is what faux said in another thread in the dev section before it was deleted.

No the finger scanner does not work.
[Atrix 4G General] Thatkidstevo:
Awesome job guys! Many thanks! I'm loving it. :)
[Atrix 4G General] Paschalis:
Nice job! Nice team! :)

Thank you guys!

Its good that sensation has also qhd.

Progress in there, could be progress in here too..

I hope fingerprint sensor and webtop don't make things too difficult for cm team,since these are new stuff for all phones..

Edit: I think op should put directly the google code page:

[Atrix 4G General] bubb18:
one thing I think that would be nice is to have the option for the blur camera once everything else is sorted out.
[Atrix 4G General] ethantarheels123:
Is it just me or is Google navigation missing?
[Atrix 4G General] TheMan0790:
Apologies to the devs porting cm7 to the Atrix. I was merely stating my opinion/concern about the keyboard issue. Also, I have had the market issue before and was only wondering if anyone else came across the issue. Again, thanks to the devs on porting cm7. I've never used cm7 before, but I can say I am quite excited about using the rom.
[Atrix 4G General] Toaster Strudels:
Themes

Themes work great on the pre-beta! I tested several HDPI themes and they work well. The pre-beta is still pretty buggy though.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Blur camera is a big NO! That's the point of Cyanogen.
[Atrix 4G General] milesjohnson:
looks like cm7 is not for you....
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
Lol anyone asking for BLur components dont know what CM7 is

just go find another ROM
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
Anyone else having a problem with go launcher ex on CM7 every single time I defrost it in tibu my phone reboots over and over again.. Anybody else experience this?
[Atrix 4G General] brd912:
Super excited for cm7. I grew tired of all the ui's and really want plain ole android. I was very close to trading my atrix for a nexus s,but the "4g" and external SD card option,changed my mind. I want nothing from blur or any.other ui. The only thing ill change once this is stable is the keyboard,and launcher,and even then ill be replacing the launcher with the regular gingerbread launcher from the market. I'm super excited about this. Ill actually be satisfied once this is stable. Dule core goodness with plain android. Couldn't get any better
[Atrix 4G General] MobileHomeElf:
If you would like for the sdcard to be mounted like the other Atrix ROMs with cm7 you can use the /etc/vold.fstab from another ROM. Replace the one in /etc on cm7 with one copied from Aura, Ken's, etc. and set permissions properly.
[Atrix 4G General] milesjohnson:
what themes have ya tested? tried minimal bread it was ehh
[Atrix 4G General] ezu132:
Anyone know if I can flash a 1% battery mod that I made using UOT?
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
My flash light app works with cm, I use tiny flashlight
[Atrix 4G General] presentgear:
Go launcher ex restored just fine, but my widgets didn't load properly.

Do you mean to say "defrost"? That implies it was installed already and frozen. Don't try to defrost.
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
You don't have to, go into the cyanogen settings and change it
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
All my other apps defrosted fine. I gotta go back to cherrypie right now cause I need a working phone for work. I'll be messing around with cm7 again soon but right now I gotta make sure to have a reliable phone for tomorrow. By the way when I tried installing golauncher ex fresh from the market I still got the restarting right in the middle of the dl. I don't know wtf the problem is?? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] ezu132:
Hey, Thanks so much
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
As i said before, is there any CM setting that turns data off when the screen is off?

I know juicedefender does this but it doesn't work properly with atrix gb (on my phone at least).

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
Everyone is gonna b mad at me for asking this... where is the download link?
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
the first page the part where it says do not click this link.
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
But that doesn't open anything for me... I'll try again. Thanks for replying!

Edit: I got it to work now. downloading cm7 now, Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] whatsaqazza:
There's no setting in cm only apps from the market. Try green power.
[Atrix 4G General] djkinetic:
has anyone else whose installed the pre-beta have working cell reception for calls and sms? i installed wiped cache wiped factory data/reset and for some reason get no reception
[Atrix 4G General] Eddie Bombay:
Think it's time to turn back on my atrix and retire the infuse for a while. I'm sorry but the only thing I can say about the infuse is "well it has a nice screen" and when I had my atrix I could go on and on about specs. Really miss the webtop also.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R
[Atrix 4G General] TheSmokingAndroid:
pre-beta?? hows it working for everyone so far? what kind of bugs are there that are un-manageable? as in are too annoying to keep the rom loaded?

cheers
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
no camera, but i never use my camera so it's ok for me.

other than that, working perfectly for me! you can find a list of known bugs on the team's google code site, at https://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/issues/list
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I was able to take some pictures initially, but camera won't work now since I closed and reopened it.
[Atrix 4G General] CancerJesus:
Can you be a little bit more specific. I've never used ROM Manager before.
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
Camera is working for me, enabling the ffc freezes the app though.

EDIT: Left/Right is mirrored though.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
romracer has put out a recovery over in the dev forum that I believe they are going to use as the official recovery for the CM7 beta.
[Atrix 4G General] Maroon Mushroom:
Look for the latest gapps.zip. Flash it through recovery. It's on the cyanogen site.

Put it on your sd card and "install from sd card" after you've installed the rom
[Atrix 4G General] djkinetic:
ok so for some reason it accepts my ATT sim and recieves service but my International carrier sim refuses to recognize service..possible bug?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
You can get zips here for flashing via recovery:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Gapps#Google_Apps

I might add that on reboot after flashing, you will be prompted to "slide out" the keyboard to setup your Google account. Just skip setup and then setup afterwards from your apps menu...............Unless of course your Atrix is extremely modded with a slide out keyboard!:eek:
[Atrix 4G General] CancerJesus:
Okay I did that, but none of the Google Apps are showing up? Did I need to wipe anything when I flashed it? (I don't think I would need to)
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
When your phone boots up you should be prompted to setup your Google account. Then you select which Google apps you want to install.

<edit> This is what I flashed, and everything works fine for me:

http://www.mediafire.com/?v30ce2ir11hhzaz
[Atrix 4G General] andrx:
the same thing, turn off the pin code and wait 1-2 minuts
[Atrix 4G General] CancerJesus:
That's the same file name I have. Maybe the .zip didn't download properly. I'm gonna try redownloading it.
[Atrix 4G General] djkinetic:
Update international sim working just my coverage area today =/ will post a video soon

Boot Video after Initial Install

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMCZLFtK-Vw
[Atrix 4G General] Maroon Mushroom:
You guys are amazing by the way. Been looking forward to this since before I got this phone. This deserves an official thread in the dev section though
[Atrix 4G General] CancerJesus:
Okay, that .zip didn't work either. I'm just supposed to put it on the SD Card and do "Install ROM from SD Card" and not wipe anything?
[Atrix 4G General] Jean-DrEaD:
here in intl. atrix, don't work internal storage(mounted in emmc folder) and more some minor bugs... maybe because the model of my atrix...

waiting for a international compatible release... ^^

GO GO GO
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Cheers, I'll try that one out
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
So I downloaded the pre beta release just to check it out... holy **** CM came a long from the G1 days! They added so much!
[Atrix 4G General] raphaelfmf:
Well, my gallery didn't seemed to work at all. The solution I've found is to change the way my internal storage is mounted, to be mounted as a SD Card. Now gallery is ok. Don't know if, with this, I'll be able to use a real SD, though.
[Atrix 4G General] madnav:
A few things that I would like to point out:

1. Colour gradients are back like in Froyo.. the GB builds of atrix do not have this issue..or is minimized to notably lower scale.

2. No next line on Enter key in keyboard. This is back to froyo style again.. I miss enter key to go to next line while Texting...The enter key sends the message like in froyo in CM build.

Tried with multiple keyboard and This does not dpend on the keyboard.

3. Internal SD is renamed to emmc.. well it can be solved by end user but would be worth a mention i though.
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
Can the fingerprint reader be an add on since it's source was dropped
[Atrix 4G General] AnalogXDA:
You first.
[Atrix 4G General] vinay427:
I wiped and installed this, followed by a TiBu backup which all went smoothly. I really like the appearance of this as it's similar to AOSP, but it doesn't seem very smooth to me. I was running Alien (build 3) before this and compared to that ROM, CM7 stutters occasionally. Although different launcher (GoLauncher EX) helped fix most of it...

Also, will this ever get on ROM Manager? I still prefer installing ROMs manually, but I was just wondering.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
It will get on ROM Manager when it gets a release candidate. This is a pre beta, so don't hope for ROM manager just yet.

Its normal that its stuttering for you. Its not completely developed yet.
[Atrix 4G General] vinay427:
Ok, thanks. Just wanted to report back that after a few hours of use it's very smooth now, probably better than Alien. I think this improvement is normal.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
just installed this morning..

wow. simply amazing. i cant wait until the RC.

Im gonna run with this one for a few days.

Question -- if I nandroid back to my older rom (ninjatrix) will it revert back to that versions Kernel? or should I flash the GB kernel after nandroiding?
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
Afaik it will revert back to old kernel.
[Atrix 4G General] Thatkidstevo:
Other than having to fix permissions, the build is quite stable and extremely capable. Camera and Bluetooth don't work, but those are known bugs. I know why everybody loves cm7 so much; tis very fast and very customizable. I feel like I'm dealing with a true mobile Linux flavor; very nice!
[Atrix 4G General] sfan786:
All you need to do is enable that setting in the cm settings panel. It's already there so I'd see no reason to back it in.
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
^ This. Very noticeable banding.

The screen has always been the worst part of the phone.

DK
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
But its not really that bad :P
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Not to most people it seems. The way some people talk about it, you'd think motorola just wedged in a freeze dried cow poo for the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
Yes that means I'm not the only one! ;)

Glad to see testers on here that are actually providing bug reports etc. Its always the case when CM gets on a new device people just hear the reputation and start sending out complaints etc especially on betas or nightlies.

Look forward to joining in on testing it out. unfortunately i can't right now without BT (need it in the car since its illegal to drive while holding it.

Happy testing!
[Atrix 4G General] DDRMSTRPRO:
It's been real, guys, but i need a more mature rom for my daily work. I'll come back when the GPS is consistent and the camera issues are solved.

Love this rom, but hard to live without those two.
[Atrix 4G General] davewuvswaffles:
Except that it has nothing to do with the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] penpen2:
screebl dont work, the rest seems to be ok!!
[Atrix 4G General] Anthonok:
but it does. To my knowledge (could be weekend) but its a pentile display issue.

Sent from my Atrix running CM7
[Atrix 4G General] aaronf6983:
Is anyone else CPU temps getting really high? i even scaled it back to 1000mhz and it still gets hot even when downloading an app or using the browser.
[Atrix 4G General] kleeman7:
This reminds me of my evo days. If this is pre-beta I cannot wait its great. Keep up the great work.
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
Kind of but not exactly. The pentile screen on the Atrix has its issues, and gradients are one of them, however the banding that exists can be [mostly] resolved via software / driver updates.

The screen itself however has a hard time displaying yellow. That also means it has a hard time with green and brown. Look at something that is green (like the icons on the status bar), notice that different colored green dots that make up the color instead of having it uniform? That's the weakness of this pentile display. This can cause issues while trying to display a gradient of brown and yellow for example (other colors as well).

I don't know why Motorola put such a weak display on this phone. Is the screen terrible? No, its not. Is worse than screens on most competitor's phones? Pretty much.

Pros:

Good on battery life

qHD

Cons:

Cannot reproduce uniform colors

Has gradient issues due to reason above

Cannot produce thin lines (look at small font text, you'll see [sub]pixelation in it which makes it very difficult to read).

The flaws really show their faces on gradients and on small text (quickly making it unreadable).

Anyway... this CM7 pre-beta has gradient issues. It isn't as bad as Froyo was, but its not as good as Gingerbread was.

DK

Edit:

Here is a great example of both the "green" and the "thin line" issues I was talking about

http://www.droidmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/droid3_pentile_screen_0613.jpg

Another good example of how pentile cannot fluidly reproduce a solid color... it instead uses two different colors on alternating pixels. Look at the text on this picture to see what I mean

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/4551/D3-3391-2.jpg

For those who are interested in why this is the case... here is a pic of the subpixel setup for Pentile

http://www.displayblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/nouvoyance_pentile_rgbw.jpg

lastly, here is an article that explains the screen in very easy to understand terms

http://www.displayblog.com/2011/02/23/motorola-atrix-4g-teardown/
[Atrix 4G General] Dirtburgler:
As far as im concerned, the fact that I can actually see my screen in direct sunlight is enough for me to not care about the flaws others find. My girlfriends Inspire is worthless in bright light. I have it set to autobrightness and indoors when its low the gradient issue is hardly noticeable, In a dark room with the screen on full brightness I can see the issues but only in that instance.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
I found your post to be very informative. And I agree, pentile sucks...but the fact of the matter is, there's nothing we can do about it save for buying a new phone (I'm looking at you SGS2!). In the meantime, if what you say is true, let's get someone with experience in the area to get some code going to get the banding issue to the reasonable levels we have on ATT 4.5.91 GB (or better, if possible).
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
I don't think discussing our screen is necessary in a cyanogen thread.

Besides, this topic has been argued to death. If you guys can't stand the screen that much, why did you buy the device?
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Yeah +1. I don't care, I like Cyanogenmod, I'm running it...I'm happy with my phone. Everyone else should be too because that's all any one on here has wanted sense the phone came out. I'd hope for people to be more excited but now everyone start talking down on things, just be happy with your phone, or like Sinful Aminosity said, buy a new one.
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
You are absolutely right. I was not trying to derail though, just shed some light onto the screen since some said it was the screen which was giving banding and others said that it was not the screen.

Back on topic... I had the battery jump today. I was screwing around (nothing to do with the battery) and got a reboot. The battery jumped from 48% to 78%.

DK
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
Have any 3rd party camera apps like Camera Zoom FX been any more compatible? I've read about 36 out of 41 pages so far...will make the plunge once I can keep snappin pics of the little ones. Great work thus far dev team!
[Atrix 4G General] lesterp:
Don't know how you could go backwards to the low rez screen on the sgs2. Pentile or not, qHD is a leap forward and any phone with a screen 4" or bigger should have it.
[Atrix 4G General] StyleUkno:
if you do a factory reset, is your TiBu not there any more??
[Atrix 4G General] beatphreek:
No because I think the bug is that when you close the camera app, something is keeping a connection to the hardware open. I can see somtimes when transitioning from the desktop to the appdrawer or another program that the camera sensor shows up between the two and it's stuck on whatever I had last been viewing with it.

So it's not so much the app as it is the drivers not properly closing the connection to the camera. At least that's what it seems like to me.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Didn't mean to make it look like I singled you out :p I just see this junk about the screen in every other topic!
[Atrix 4G General] beatphreek:
Nothing that you had to install will be there.
[Atrix 4G General] StyleUkno:
Not sure if this was to my question or not thats the only thing thats stopping me from using this...ill just probably hack it up to my ext-sd and do it from there...or maybe ill just wait till the real CM7 is out.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
This is the real CM7
[Atrix 4G General] AnalogXDA:
It is if CM7 is going to, like, use the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
This is CM7 port!

Atrix dev team doing this!

https://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/

"This is not currently supported by the Atrix-Dev-Team or Cyanogen."
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't ever CM7 build start out as a port then gets the official tag when its merged with the cyanogenmod tree?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
You need to read back a few pages..............quite a few pages in fact! :)

Just to help you a wee bit:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum/23-unofficial-ports/
[Atrix 4G General] PatriotXT92:
Anyone experiencing high cell standby? Mine is at about 50% and I think that is what is causing high battery drain for me.
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
That is correct. Very few handsets themselves start off officially by CM team. Most start off as unofficial ports and then (not sure the criteria) become "official' but still need a device specific dev to maintain it. As you can tell there are lots of unofficial port threads in the CM forum, so it's beyond me how they decide what to make official.
[Atrix 4G General] beatphreek:
yes, same here... 50% cell idle... this is normally 10ish
[Atrix 4G General] graemegb:
same here

10char
[Atrix 4G General] Byrd San:
Yeah. I'm having the same problem too. No worries though. It's still pre-beta so this problem is bound to get fixed soon. :)
[Atrix 4G General] sublimejosh2000:
Same here, yet my overall battery life is about equal to the stock gingerdread, so I can only imagine what would happen when the cell standby drain is fixed
[Atrix 4G General] raybond25:
Wouldn't be surprised if this extra cell idle is due to the sloppy hacks they had to use to get data/cell connections working. Unless they find a better way that might not go away.
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Theres always a way.
[Atrix 4G General] Krshaw18:
Mine it's the same, high standby %, however I'm on 1 day 6 hours with 4 hours screen time and 10 % battery remaining. So it's great battery life for me, no other rom matched this in my experience.
[Atrix 4G General] lilhaiti:
So I decided to try CM7...I missed CM7 since most of my Android experience is with CM7 (and CM6). It looks very promising and I can't wait till it is more finished. It runs pretty smooth for a pre-beta and for the most part stable. Here are my observations/experience with it:

1. The already stated bugs (bluetooth, camera (although it worked twice after the first reboot), compass

2. Battery seems to drain faster, may be the fact that I did not wipe battery stats.

3. 3 random reboots in 2 hours

4. I think the screen is running at a different resolution since I had to set LP to 5 rows because a 4x1 widget displayed like a 4x1.5 widget

5. Stock launcher doesn't seem smooth at all, LP is smooth.

6. Experienced smearing with some LP widget after scrolling (mostly the calendar widget)

Overall, this is some great work...as soon as these bugs are fixed, we'll be cooking with grease...GREAT WORK DEVS!!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] faux123:
CM7 random reboots will be solved tonight with a new CM7 kernel release :D Yeah 2.6.32.43 kernel for CM7 is a fail :o
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
Much appreciated. You guys have done a wonderful job. Many thanks!

[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Nightlies already? :p
[Atrix 4G General] yeeson:
Can't wait。
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
do we check nightlys on ROM manager? or just this forum? and idk if anyone else is having this problem but i left my phone in my locker for 3 hours (football) and when i came back it was dead. when i left it, the phone was on about 30%+.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Not yet we don't. Remember. Pre-beta. Still in ultra-mega-developmental status.

Once we have a Release Candidate, I would expect them.
[Atrix 4G General] INSM Sin:
ok so we check here?
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Yes. Either here, or the Atrix-dev team google page.
