Exceptional is a good description... I gave up praising the battery life, people just do not believe it when you tell them.

I finally got a response from Shady over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18203886&posted=1#post18203886 and he is planning to work on an ext4 version. So anyone interested in his arctic blue theme should wait awhile, it is in the works.

I tried this ROM after Aura 1.2.1.3 (I started yesterday with the Atrix 4G, coming from hTC Nexus One Android 2.3.7), and.. Aura drains battery and this Darkside FC all the time. After the first reboot, GTalk has the first FC. When I try to add an account, if I start with email or corporate email, FC again... and Accounts doesn't work anymore.. If I try to start it again, the FC is immediate... So, I can't have an account, and of course, a phone without accounts doesn't work at all...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Sounds like you didnt fully wipe or use the newest recovery by RomRacer. You have to wipe everything.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bullghost:
hi nottach

i found the problem , the second paramter should be com.cooliris.media.Gallery

so it look like this

const-string v2, "com.cooliris.media"

const-string v3, "com.cooliris.media.Gallery"

here is the blurcamera :

BlurCamera3DG.apk

i use latest smali here :

smali_v.1.2.8.zip
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Very nice man, here it is themed and made into a CWM zip for others to try.

I will include it in the next update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cyberdelia:
Ok, I did it... Wipe to everything, even battery...

No FC in gtalk, but yes in Accounts. The only account I can add is google... Not my corporate... not moto blur...

And everytime I get an process com.motorola.service.main FC
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Did you flash the Removed Apps MOD? That should fix corporate accounts.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Is it possible to edit it so that clicking the overeview opens Quickpic instead? I froze 3D gallery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Maybe bullghost will do one for quickpic if we ask nicely, he seems to have cracked it.

Smali's a ***** for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
Like I do with all threads, I read through the entire thread. Answered a bunch of questions I already had so that's a good start. I've been running Aura pretty much since I got my Atrix and really haven't had many problems with it or its performance.

With this CWM zip, it will allow you to click on and go into the "gallery" from the camera/camcorder or am I interpreting that wrong? I know Diviance was having some issues trying to get that to work, but had to revert back to the Blur Gallery until further notice.

Also, with this ROM, I usually hover around the 6k benchmark area. Not that benchmarks mean that much, but I was closer to 7k with Aura.

EDIT: Since there will be a video game every week for 6 weeks that I'm getting, I will donate to your awesome work as soon as I am able to.

EDIT 2: Pull-Down Notification Bar Droid = GENIUS! Absolutely loving that. haha.

-------------------------

So after using this ROM for a little bit, I've only ran into one FC and that was when trying to access the HDMI settings in the Settings menu. When I did it in another ROM it worked without having the phone connected via HDMI so that's not the problem. Anyone else having this FC? On a side note, I don't use HDMI with my phone (at least not up until now) so it's not even a big deal, but just throwing it out there. I didn't see it mentioned in here so I thought I would ask about it.

Does the same thing for me too... I would have never thought to try it until I tried to hook up to a monitor, good observation. Something to check for the next update
[Atrix 4G Android Development] naset:
Got fc on hdmi too
[Atrix 4G Android Development] techfreak713:
Killer

Tried CM7, loved all of the tweaks, settings, and mods but the car dock wouldnt output audio.

The performance of this ROM is very close in comparison, even in benchmarks (such as CF-Bench).

Everything works properly and quickly, and battery life is excellent.

Highly recommend, maybe a different theme for spontaneity, but the ROM is very functional and ext4 is an incredible improvement.

Excited for the next update. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bullghost:
wow you theme it , great man.... now we got camera and camcoder :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bullghost:
can not because the parameters being sent by the camera into the gallery just a folder path, to allow direct to quickpic we need to add a few lines of code into the smali , I have tried but the camera became broken(FC).

maybe anyone here know how to add a few lines of code in smali without destroying it would be helpful

Is there a way to get darkside but not to have the app drawer apps all greyed out?

I read your last post and finally got around to setting up adb but I'm really new at it all being my first android. Nervous about pulling a file off the phone even if I made a copy then trying to reinstall it. Might try a file like like the stock rom and then mess with it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
Hm, I haven't gotten that FC at all between 2 installs of this ROM and going into the Accounts menu and whatnot. Maybe you had corrupted data/a bad download? Have you tried completely wiping everything via fastboot then re-installing the ROM? With every non-common FC I've ever gotten on any ROM that has usually fixed the FC for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
FC's

Have you tried accessing the HDMI settings? As far as I can tell this function does not work... hardly worth all of the effort that you mention. ;) p.s. I see that you were the one who originally reported this problem. Did you do the full wipe and re-install?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
I have tried accessing the HDMI settings several times and I keep getting the same FC every time and, yes, I always do a full fastboot wipe before flashing any new ROM. I have found that the Recovery "wipes" don't really remove everything whereas the fastboot wipe does. The fastboot wipe is also the recommended method from most developers I know of, too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
There are a few fastboot wipe procedures posted out there... I followed this one when I installed DS. Have had no problems other than the HDMI FC which seems to be native to the ROM itself.

Follow this for wiping:

boot into recovery

wipe Dalvik and cache

reboot into fastboot

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot (to recovery)

flash ROM from recovery

DO NOT wipe Dalvik and cache after flashing ROM

boot to OS

let phone sit for 10 or 15 minutes so it can build system files before doing (anything) to it

Try to look in system/bin/syslink/rc.syslink file. I got that from a site that was talking about changing the HDMI settings. Hope that it helps...

Thanks again for all of your help!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Although I'm using a different ROM, I may be able to help with the HDMI issue.

I also had HDMI in settings but after freezing a few apps, it starting FC'ing.

However, using the following Freeze list:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972459&highlight=blur.exe

The HDMI setting disappeared.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
More HDMI

This may be a clue as to what is going on here...

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gmanapps.realhdmi&hl=en

"If you run a custom ROM proceed at your own risk. There is no way for us to test against all variants of non-stock code. If RealHDMI doesn't work with a specific custom ROM, is usually because the ROM Chef has stripped out the HDMI support while they where trying to remove bloat from the ROM."

Not sure what the "ROM Chef" is.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
I can't seems to find that file. I have no symlink folder. You do?

I think the problem is from removing bloat. I'm going through the removed apps trying to find which it may be.

I can remove the HDMI option from settings easily by editting settings.apk bools but that would be the last resort.

HDMI still works so I don't think it's this. If remember correctly there were only two options in the HDMI menu, output resolution and another. The default resolution was auto so I don't think it really matters but it's "just one of those things".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
HDMI

"I can't seem to find that file. I have no syslink folder. You do?"

No, and I think that it only applies to the development simulator that they are using on that link...

Something is missing from the HDMI permissions that launch the settings menu but I do not know enough about how it all works to understand the process...

Kenneth Penn probably knows how it works so if he is still out there he might help with this. :)

Hi,

To flash the 1ghz kernal on this rom do I have to run the ext4 script to convert again? or simply clear cache, wipe dalwik then flash the kernal thats it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brh0003:
Full Wipe Only?

I have a question. I just flashed 2.0 the other day and was planning on settling in on it, not having to do the Full Wipe again. (its not hard, just time consuming to backup and restore apps, contacts, settings, SMS, etc.)

Is there gonna be an update available for 2.0 -> 2.1 or do i need to go ahead and reflash? I wont necessarily mind reflashing, but figured I would check to see if there was gonna be an update file first.

Thanks in advance, big fan of the work so far.

Edit: Feel free to answer my question, but i decided to go ahead and reflash anyway.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
Hey guys, i was wondering what the correct way to do a full wipe is? Do i wipe/factory reset and then wipe cache before i flash the rom or do i flash the rom n then wipe/factory reset and then wipe?

"Hi, To flash the 1ghz kernal on this rom do I have to run the ext4 script to convert again? or simply clear cache, wipe dalwik then flash the kernal thats it?"

Why bother to do that? Keep the original and use setcpu to change the CPU parameters to whatever you want. It works very well.

Wouldn't it be better to add them as a separate zip & give the existing 2.0 users an update to 2.1? Or is there any new functionality that requires a full wipe to make sure it 's all installed properly?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Phone Stuff

Yes, it is quite fast and my Quandrant scores blow away anything else in their database by comparison... If that really matters very much; if the phone does what you want it to do then that is the determining factor. Comparing it to others is nice but does not mean a lot except to point out that Nottach did a great job as the "ROM chef".

I would still be using my Razr V3 if I had not left it on the car roof and driven away...:rolleyes: I date back a ways and remember the first cell phone that I ever laid eyes upon. It was black and about the size of those rectangular school lunch boxes that you used to carry when you were a kid. Had a handset connected to it and probably weighed 5+ lbs. Look how far we've come...

Themes

FYI Nottach, I know that you helped Shady port over his Arctic Blue theme to the ext4 FS and I tried it with DS 2.0... Great looking theme but it is a battery killer. I went from outstanding BL before I installed the theme to P-Poor afterwards. The theme must be altering something on the DS ROM that effects battery life... I just flashed 2.1 and re-calibrated the battery, I will report on the changes in BL after I've had some time to observe the new ROM.

I haven't the foggiest but after installing Arctic Blue the battery started dropping 5-6% an hour. After installing the new DS 2.1 version it is dropping about 1% / hour.

That is the reason I wrote the post... why? :confused: You tell me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Hm. I'm on 2,1 and have the theme + dialer + signal, battery is ok. Did you swap the dalvik cache after installing it? Maybe a bad download?
