[Atrix 4G General] sjbayer3:
Hey,

I am in the process of going from stock (rooted) GB and wanted to document my steps. I am not a developer, I have no idea what I am doing, everything here is from links/guides elsewhere.

If you know of a faster/easier way to do it, please respond and I will update as required!

How can I Backup text messages/missed calls etc to cyanogen?

My System:

AT&T Atrix 4g with Stock Gingerbread OTA update (rooted)

Windows 7 x64 laptop

Guide:

My general understanding is as follows:

1. Unlock Phone

2. Download and Install CWM

3. Install Cyanogen

1. To unlock the phone we need to first get a few applications installed, I am running windows 7 so below are the files.

RSDLite 5.3.1 link

x64 Windows drivers

AT&T Unlocker

After downloading, install the first two packages, the third package will be used to unlock your bootloader:

2. CWM

CWM Download

how to install:

Windows:

unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to D:\

open a CMD in windows.

fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img

Linux:

unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to you home

mot-fastboot flash recovery ~/recovery-en-goapk.img

mot-fastboot reboot

3. Install Cyanogenmod

Download:

Cyanogenmod *REQUIRED*

GOOGLE Applications *Install if you want Market, Gmail, etc*

Restart into CWM

Wipe Dalvik

Wipe cache

factory/data reset

flash pre-beta.zip

wipe Dalvik

wipe cache

factory data/reset

reboot

IT COULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO BOOT, JUST WAIT UP TO AN HOUR

*Cyanogenmod*

Thanks to OP's and posters in the following locations:

[Atrix 4G General] firefox3:
was this honestly needed?
[Atrix 4G General] dcarpenter85:
You forgot the part where you have to flash pudding, which will softbrick your phone temporarily. This happens to all phones on stock GB when attempting to unlock them.

RSD flash the pudding sbf

phone will error with 0x1000 No OS found

choose fastboot

enter the documented unlock commands
[Atrix 4G General] CancerJesus:
If it stops ONE person from asking for a guide on how to do this... it was needed.
[Atrix 4G General] tapeworm_george:
This section has always bothered me because it can be confusing. Instead of referencing D:\ at all simply telling users to extract the img to the folder where they've installed the fastboot package would be clearer. Also at least some mention should be made of the fact that there is now a second CWM option running around in the dev forum which works with rom manager. It can be installed in exactly the same way as Tenfar's but to get it to work with rom manager you need to install the generic rom manager CWM through rom manager first, and then install the CWM version available in the dev forum.

It does help and I used rom manager to reinstall the updated version of cmr-at&t cmr- 4.0.1.4.atrix2 it has an sd.ext to view files in external sd and an. Asks if you want to delete s-ext during data factory reset just say no or you will ! fubar if that's were your .zip files are

[Galaxy S II Accessories] takato23:
This are the news about sixaxis working in android devices.. but I've used the compatibility checker from the markent and SGS II don't have the bluetooth protocols.

Maybe anyone with Cyanogen can try it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nemasu:
I remember reading that someone using MIUI got the Wii controller to work, I assume that it would work for the PS3 controller as well.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shadowofdarkness:
I tried it on my old Milestone and it was fun, I hope someone can get this working on the Galaxy S II.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kbkrogs:
It can connect when you are on a CM7 rom.

However, I cant figure out how to make it work correctly in game.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Deleted member 1893434:
It works once you flash a AOSP rom (CM7 or MIUI) because the bluetooth driver is the stock one, and not the samsung one.

You can use it in emulators but not in games because devs doesn't support controllers for now (Hope it will not take too long for them to support it :D )
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kbkrogs:
I can not even make it work 100% in emulators. Some og the buttons work, but most of them don't...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Deleted member 1893434:
What emulators have you tried ? I tried with FPSE, Snes9x EX, and a GBA emulator and all worked !
[Galaxy S II Accessories] slekerz:
I'm on MIUI ROM and i use fpse, psxdroid and also gameboid, all work on this emulator have to use hardware key mapping.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kbkrogs:
I use psx4droid. How is your setup in psx4droid and in the input mapping?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] slekerz:
psxdroid setting i click

-full screen mode

-screen fresh rate -60

-use input method -on

Key mapping i use the some buttons as on ps3 controllers.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r34p3rex:
Any chance we could replace the Samsung driver with the stock one? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] slekerz:
i will not work because samsung use a different bluetooth protocol, the only way you can use this app is use aosp rom like cm7 and miui.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r34p3rex:
Isn't that the point of replacing the Bluetooth stack? It's definitely not an hardware issue if you could just load up a new ROM and make it work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AILD:
Help! Sgs2 does not recognize the SIXAXIS, even though I changed the Bluetooth address. :( What can be wrong? I have CM7.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Deleted member 1893434:
What are the steps you did to pair it with your phone ?

r34p3rex=> I don't understand what you want me to answer... I already said that the bluetooth stack was the stock one in CM7 and MIUI (so yes, it is possible to replace it), and that Samsung's firmwares has a different one that is not compatible with controllers. If your question is "Can we replace the bluetooth stack in Samsung's firmwares ?" then I don't know, I'm not a dev ^^
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r34p3rex:
This is what I mean. It'd be pretty sweet if a ROM dev could incorporate the stock Bluetooth stack into their Samsung-based ROMs
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Deleted member 1893434:
IMO AOSP roms are better than Samsung's roms. Have you tried one of them ? I swear you won't regret it ! ^^

If I remember correctly (I think I read it somewhere, but not sure) the Samsung bluetooth stack has dependencies with TouchWiz (and all other things added by Samsung) so it will be too hard, maybe impossible, to just change this. I may be wrong, but I think it would already be available if it were possible...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AILD:
I tried to pair the SIXAXIS controller motioninjoy program, with usb cable. I switch controller to the computer, I downloaded the drivers from the application menu and changed the bluetooth address in menu, but its not working! =S
[Galaxy S II Accessories] oleost:
Try with SixaxisPairTool instead of motioninjoy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Deleted member 1893434:
Yeah try SixaxisPairTool. Motioninjoy is weird... I tried it first and it didn't work. When I used SixaxisPairTool I realised that Motioninjoy was not entering the MAC address correctly (ie: Instead of 11:22:33:44:55:66 it was 66:55:44:33:22:11 with Motioninjoy) So if you want to use Motioninjoy try to invert the MAC address, that way, Motioninjoy would put it the right way. Weird, isn't it ? ^^
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mythoc:
trying SixasisPairTool right now :> no luck with motioninjoy..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] slekerz:
I don't know about you guys but with CM7 I can't get to pair with my controller but when I flash MIUI no problem at all pair with my sixasis controller.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
Mine is working with CM7.

I think MIUI is based on CyanogenMod Team work, so if it works on MIUI, it works on CM7.

What is the problem when you try to pair it when on CM7 ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mkrmec:
CM7 and MIUI don't have TVout yet.. it sucks that Samsung ROMs don't have a BT stack that works.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skola:
run compatibility ap will say your device is supported use this bluetooth address

connect the controller to your pc with a mini usb controller

use the sixaxispairingtool or whatever its called from the dancing pixel studio website

change the address to the one listed on the phone, disconnect from pc

run sixaxis controller

gamepad should be picked up and have red light for player one lit

application will say connected 1

check ur input method has changed to sixaxis controller - that means its wokring with your phone

load ur emu, check input settings select bluetooth game pad if theres options pick any of them (zeemote etc doesnt matter which one)

go into hardware mappings and map as you choose

then it should work with the emulator ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tanwt:
Hi,

Will it work with gameloft games like "Brothers in Arms" or "Real Football 11"?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spartoi:
This only works (properly) with games that allow you to map buttons to hardware keys (emulators).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sir_earl:
I'm currently trialing a new version of the compatibility checker app, and would appreciate some SGS II owners running a stock ROM (or at lease stock-based) to try it out and provide some feedback:

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shadowofdarkness:
Here is my output on the stock based CriskeloRom.

From the looks of it you are trying to find the Bluetooth address which when I looked for it is in /efs/imei/bt.txt and is one line in this format

[Galaxy S II Accessories] kei_kusanagi:
Tried on SGS1 and it worked ( http://oi55.tinypic.com/2n1yg5w.jpg ). But then I tried on my SGS2 and didn't work (same error than shadowofdarkness).

Thanks for your work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sedinix:
SAME PROBLE LIKE shadowofdarkness

I watch YT and someone use siaxis on SGSII it looks like samsung rooted rom.

any solutions ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pileot:
Can we take the bluetooth profiles from MIUI and insert them in our galaxy S? Then we can have MHL support and Sixaxis controllers.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
What?

Anyway, Sixasis has supported stock Samsung ROMs for 2 weeks now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] compuw22c:
Yup same here. Loving it with snesoid :) (though no true analog support...OS limitation Maybe in ics?)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gaz41:
Wow!!! It works now on my stock SGS rom :) No more need to be on cm7... And it works with wii controller also ;) GREAT JOB
[Galaxy S II Accessories] compuw22c:
Wait, you mean the six axis app or the game works with wiimote on stock?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gaz41:
Yes yes, i tried and it works. I'm on stock JVT. Before of that, the only way was cm7 or miui. You have to start the app, first method fails, than press 1+2 on wiimote (bluetooth off on the phone) and... Connect :)

Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand what to do... Let me know...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] locibin:
It does not work for me.

I got SGS 2 with rooted stock rom KF3 (2.3.3)

With sixaxis app it looks like everything is ok (I got the message: successfully configured bluetooth)

I successfully changed the bluetooth adress on my PS3 controller with sixaxis pair tool.

when I hit the connect button on the controller, the 4 lights are flashing but I don't get a connection. everything looks good, but I can't connect the devices.

anybody got an idea?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] compuw22c:
KF3 is your problem. Update to KI or KJ-something (later is better) and I bet you'll solve your problem. Running criskello v29 (based on KJ1) and it works just fine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] locibin:
I flashed KJ1 and got the same problem as with KF3. it has to be something else.. :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] compuw22c:
And you are rooted and turning Bluetooth OFF before starting the app right?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] msaraiva:
What software are you using to change the configured bluetooth's address? If it is MotionInJoy pair tool, you have to input the address backwards.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shadowofdarkness:
I just bought a new PS3 controller to try this since my last ones battery died and got it working. I thought I should point out one thing since it is not clear, I thought the file error finding the Bluetooth address was a problem that caused the shown address to be wrong. So I tried using my phones proper BT address which is wrong. You are supposed to pair it with the 43:30:a0:00:00:00 address.

I think this could cause problems if multiple people try this within range of each other since all phones will use the same address.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] msaraiva:
Yeah, on Samsung stock that's the address you're supposed to enter. And backwards, if you use MotionInJoy to pair, as i said on the post above.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pdawhore:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] jacodaburr:
Could not for the life of me get the damn controller, everything was fine, except this one thing! Thanks so much, spent much time uselessly searching when it right under my nose! Thanks again :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mightykiss:
Hello everyone. I have a question about fake sixaxis controllers.

I mean the ones on eBay that look the same, are sold as original Dualshock 3 controllers >but< are about 2 times cheaper and sent from Hong Kong.

I think the price and shipping location is the only thing that makes you know the're fake.

So, do they work properly with SGS2?

Is there any difference between original and fake Sixaxis' compatibility?

I'm about to buy one and I've to choose between original for 40$ and fake for 20$.

Let me know if there is any reason to pay twice.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] HellRa1SeR:
Mate IMO go for the original one. It will be much better. I tell this from my own experience. I bought 2 of those fake controllers hoping I could play with both of them using the Sixaxis Controller App(on Play Store). But they did not work with the app because they were fake. Only after a recent update to the App, I have been able to connect them.

BUt they are a lot cheaper. You may try getting one to try, But I would suggest the Original one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpvu:
I just got a Galaxy S i9100M (Bell version) and unlocked it using CF-Root and the Galaxy S Unlock app. This is the second phone I've unlocked this way and the first I gave to a friend had no issues, however, this one keeps locking up. It usually happens on wi-fi during large data downloads (example I can usually make it happen by downloading the NOVA game data). It also just randomly happens other times when doing simple things like launching the app drawer. I'm at a loss as to why. Stock firmware and I've tried flashing all 3 versions of the CF-Root KG2 kernel.

Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Just for the sake of it, try a different rom. I'm not experienced with this issue, just giving you something to try. Remember to backup first, using Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpvu:
I've now put KG5 on there with the stock kernel with the same results. It fully charged, heard the sound, screen never went off and it was locked up.

This is one of Gingerbread bugs. You can solve it - format card in FAT mode.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] abhivarg:
Is that just one time only? On the computer side, retry after plugging it into another port because your device might not've been recognized as USB 2.0 (It happens sometimes if it wasn't a clean mount or if your OS is windows), if that doesn't work, it might be a problem with your SD card's filesystem. Check it accordingly. If it ain't, try rebooting. Both. Either that or your drivers got screwed up (OR your card's just getting ready to say goodbye).

The problem is you're OC'd to 2 ghz. Most people have reported this as an overkill and it really isn't too stable, if you use set cpu and set up some profiles you will get great battery life. The processor in our phones is clocked at 1.5 to begin with, im currently on joel's rom with the remix kernel oc'd to 1.7 and getting amazing battery life, but i wasn't getting good battery life with the viper rom. I mean everyone's experience is different.

Just find something that works for you, tweaking to your liking is part of the fun with android man!

Thanks for the lengthy response man..I'll def try messing around with set cpu. I've only ran the phone with the way the kernels come after being flashed

First things you should do is set a screen off profile. That will be awesome for your battery life. And you can get set cpu here for free on xda or get it in the market to support the dev :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] starcastic:
Alright, yes I know how to use the search function and I can launch the Car Dock application itself just fine with the previously mentioned shortcut, however I need to switch the mode itself apparently (i.e. with the steering wheel icon onscreen).

I own a Car Dock but I want to be able to use the included cable that supports both charging and audio output in one cord. THAT only works in Dock Mode (in fact it doesnt even charge when plugged directly in, let alone route the audio to the 3.5mm jack.

I have to say that so far the thought put into the Motorola accessories like this dock blow away the HTC options and this Micro-USB to combo USB/3.5mm is exactly what I need but sometimes I just want to be able to only plug in ONE cord.

Any thoughts?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RickNY1971:
Im not sure what you are asking -- I disabled the Car Dock application by telling Tasker to open by default when plugged in.. I get MEDIA audio through the audio plug from the car dock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] starcastic:
Like I said, along with the car dock there is a combo cord, Micro USB to plug into the phone and USB on the other end for power as well as a female headphone jack. This cord usually plugs into the back of the dock which just extends it to the Micro-USB plug in the cradle that you set the phone into. I want to use the cord only, plugged directly into the phone.

Unfortunately the phone only routes audio out through the Micro-USB port when its in car dock mode, this is separate from the car dock app running and is denoted by the steering wheel icon in the top bar of the screen. Its switched into this mode by the previously mentioned magnets in the car dock, I need a way to switch it on some other way.

The cord is convenient because you only have to plug ONE thing in and you have both power and audio. Make sense?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RickNY1971:
Believe me, convenience makes sense to me.. I took the HD dock, and modified it so that it could be mounted to a ProClip swivel mount.. Part of that involved opening up the actual dock.. There is an IC inside the dock mount, if I recall - and I suspect that may be doing some playing around with the USB/audio split function. I did not see any magnets in there. The phone knows the difference between the HD Dock and the Car Dock - so I suspect the IC is giving it some of its info to determine that. I am not sure if magnets are being used this time around.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Does anyone know if the remote that comes with the web-dock combo will work while the phone is in the car dock? It would be a great feature and a lot safer to change songs while you are driving.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flash_c4:
When I first got my Photon I had a problem getting the phone to seat properly in the dock using the Sprint case with holster. The case was hitting the raised area around the connectors because the hole in the case wasn't big enough, so I took a small file and carefully enlarged the hole so it could seat properly. I said all of that to say this; The phone appeared to be seated enough to be docked but was off just enough to not get a good connection. If there was anything magnet related it would have been in the dock enough to have been activated. There is definitely something in the dock that is being monitored to put it in Car Mode. If I get a chance today I'll do some testing to try and determine what is going on.
