[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Easier on the eyes and readability is what I was going for with the icons. I work outside a lot so I wnt icons that I can read quickly and clearly. I think the only images I dont like in this setup is the battery. Doesnt fit with the rest, back to UOT.

The animations are subtle, its sort of a fading in/out around the edge, on top of the old GB animations. I think once I find the right timing value for them they will be the new default, but right now they take a little too long.

If you don't notice a difference make sure you haven't set animations to off in settings/display, Launcher transitions aren't the same as system transitions. System animations would be, after you launch an app, or going deeper into the setting menus.

Thanks for your feedback. :)

Here's a screenshot of the DarthDroid Army for the next update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] metk@:
These droids look awsome, maybe you should make a whole big army with bigger and smaller ones ;)

And again thanks for very good rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] youliang:
no more percentages in the battery icon? :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] timeshare1234:
How do i run fastboot? Is that one of the options in recovery?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
Oh, ok. Well, they definitely are easier to see/read so that was well done. The DarthDroid Army guys are awesome looking. I'm looking forward to the next update.

For everyone who has this, though, how do the notifications look when the drop down is open and you have a lot of notifications? I haven't had the chance to see what it looks like with the larger Droid guy on the bottom. I was just wondering if it interferes at all or anything like that? I usually don't leave too many notifications there anyway, but just something to be aware of.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
No, it's not in the recovery menu. You need to download the fastboot files (they're available on XDA so just search for them and download them to your computer) and connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable that comes with the phone. Make sure you have 'Debugging' enabled on your phone (this is in the Applications settings menu). After that, power off your phone, then reboot into ' fastboot' mode by holding the Volume Down button and under Power button at the same time until "Fastboot" shows up at the top. When it does, press the Volume Up button to select that mode. At this point you connect your phone to your computer and start fastboot and do that process. I'm pretty sure three instructions for fastboot are in the fastboot thread so no need to explain it here.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] timeshare1234:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is this the fastboot code:

moto-fastboot devices

moto-fastboot erase recovery

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix4.1.img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GeNiO426:
Yeah, the first one shows the connected devices, the second simply erases the recovery, and the third flashes/installs the recovery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] timeshare1234:
Just to be 100% sure i type in the code in the command prompt after i click fastboot? I have soft bricked my phone in the past and i dont want that to happen again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevehkim:
Yes type fastboot then whatever the command. For example fastboot reboot. Or fastboot -w.

atrix unlocked and loaded
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pavankvn:
Nottach, thank you very much for this wonderful rom. The battery performance is what makes me come back to this rom from cm7. I am digging the new roboto font as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitropow:
internet browser

hi i juste flashed with this rom and he run very good , but my internet browser dont have internet acces, gmail / market ect, work but not the browser , any have fix for this? thank

EDIT 1:

hi i just find a fix for browser internet acces (on bell network)

just need a write new apn and select it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deggy:
Love the ROM and love the robotic font. I think this could be my daily ROM. I tend to switch a lot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Wond3r:
About the darkdroid army notification pulldown - looks nice but I hope you will include a link to a mod to be able to have your current "red android in the corner" flashed back on. I like that more
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NYG-SBXLII:
Hey Nottach, a user over on the Photon forums has successfully ported notification toggles to a stock moto ROM. Since the Atrix and Photon are 95% the same it should be able to be ported to the Atrix. The mod is all in the systemUI so it shouldnt be too difficult to port for someone that has the skillset. If you get the time maybe you can look into this.

Thanks

No time to update the OP but here's the link for v2.7.0:

http://www.multiupload.com/IHCG1CC0GJ

The main change is Landscape HDMI Mirroring. Also some theme changes.

An update will be coming shortly that adds notification toggles and rethemes the dialer.

EDIT: consider this a beta. Users reported issues with app restores in TB. Read next few posts for details.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Coming soon,..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] metk@:
So far 2.7 is runnig smooth, no FC, hdmi mirroring works well (portrait&landscape) but during restoring TiBu backup I have weird /reboots/ - screen goes off -> appear boot animation for ~10sec. -> home screen comes back but all apps are closed (look like RAM was cleared) and no app is restored :confused:

EDIT: rom flashed exactly with instruction in op)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] omni_angel7:
I had the same problem but only when restoring XDA for some reason. Skipping that, the other apps had no issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NYG-SBXLII:
Same here cant install xda premium from TiBu or market without a reboot. XDA free installs fine though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 903tex:
yep paid xda won't install, but free verison okay??? But other than that running really good!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
That's strange. I had to problems restoring my apparently. Including CDS Premium. It probably has something to do with the Photon files used for the HDMI landscape mirroring.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
+1 with the reboots. It also took twice as long to install, at least. (Cleared everything in fastboot before install)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Nottach I think you should remove the landscape mirroring. It is still extremely unstable as it messes up the packages.xml.

If anything, make it a beta build with special install instructions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
I wont post the link in the OP for a while. But I haven't seen any issues yet and its been almost 24hrs. Im going to be working on quickpanel toggles next so ill see if any problems arise while working on that. I think as long as users use care when restoring they should be ok for the most part. I had no issues when restoring but I restore in steps. First apps that need data restored. Then apps that do not need data restored.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] treehumper:
I had some restarts trying to restore Wind-Up Knight. After skipping it, everything worked. It won't allow me to reinstall it from the market. It just reboots.

Edit: And for some reason or other that I cannot fathom I get slightly lower benchmarks than with 2.6. I did several dozen benchmarks over a course of a half hour and the average is 3-10% lower than with 2.6. I know it could be phone-specific, but I figured it's worth mentioning.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NYG-SBXLII:
Hey Nottach, If it will save you time with quickpanel toggles the guy that ported to the photon has got it working on the atrix PM me and ill give you the SystemUI with quickpanel and you can just port your theme over.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Ha! Spent the last three hrs working on it and just got it done and working! Damnm
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Uploading update now.

Notification Toggles!!!!

Be sure to give thanks to those listed in Change Log once I update it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NYG-SBXLII:
Now you can spend the next three days porting the entire ROM to a new build! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Ha!

Hit thanks thinking it was 'like'?

Ill do it in a day, maybe....

Thanks for your help dude.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Had to cancel the upload because Im an idiot and didnt test fully.

Sorry.

Its coming though. And I'm going to do a pure Aura version too, because Aura rocks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Any brave souls want to test this for me? Let me know if its no good, it should be good, I have an uninstaller.

BUT IT WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO DISSAPPEAR.

AND POSSIBLY CAUSE FCS, but it shouldnt.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Anybody elses vol-down button fading. Takes me at least three tried to get in recovery. Hope it doesnt totally go and I end up in a bootloop.

Have two new versions coming.

2.6.5 Will be:

Notification Toggles

LayOut Changes (Centered; Clear Button to Bottom)

ReThemed Phone and Dialer (Better Readability)

Theme Tweaks (All Over)

Others (Restarted Computer Without Saving Change Log, Oops)

2.7.5 Will Be all that plus:

Landscape HDMI Mirroring

Obviously 2.6.5 will be most stable.

Will be up soon.

Thanks for all the help from the comm.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Install Quick Boot!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Been using command line as much as possible. Quick Boot wont work if the device is bootlooping. But there are ways to get into recovery even if your vol-down is broken, just got to be a quick typer.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Nobody's complained so..

I've added the "beta" 2.7.5 (with LS HDMI mirroring) to the OP.

Stable, 2.6.5, will be added tomorrow evening, I'm still testing.

If you use 2.7.5 I recommend NOT restoring apps, instead start from scratch.

Users have reported reboots while restoring, this is due to the HDMI hack, which is from the Photon. I am looking into this.

But IT IS possible to have a smooth, problem free device, on this version so long as you take care while setting it up. I for instance have not experienced any of the reported problems.

Good luck, enjoy notification toggles finally.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] omni_angel7:
You're a champ!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Can't restore apps? Can I download them and then restore data from TiBa?

I can't decide to give this a shot or wait for CM7 to include FP scanner and landscape mirroring...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gandalf:
@Nottach :

About to give some rigorous testing to 2.7.5, will report back at some time today with anything (hopefully nothing) I have found issues with.

and on a side note : what is the MyQP8c ? Opened it up and found only SystemUI.apk in there. Not sure what is changed in it but I will gladly test it out for you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] achok:
@Nottach

I've been testing 2.70 HDMI mirroring and can confirm starting from scratch is the best option. I already have Extended Control, so 2.75 seems redundant to me :-)

However some apps causes a FC when installing directly, and moving apps to SD also sometimes causes FC.

Any ideas? Already cleared Davlik, Cache, and Fixed Permissions. Only happens with specific apps, such as DroidMovie.

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] youliang:
could a flashlight toggle be added in? i find it really useful :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saltinbas:
Good job.

Confirmation number: 6WX39555NB3680131
[Atrix 4G Android Development] achok:
Just as an update to my post earlier;

Seems with the LS HDMI version, any app that attempts to move apps to sd will cause a fast reboot.

Anyone else experience this?

Regards,
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SirFork:
what a fantastic ROM! some of the visual elements in previous versions kept me from using but definitely giving it a try!

nottach- I have no idea how this would translate into your ROM, but in the CM7 theme engine you were somehow able to skin FlexT9. The CM7 theme 'Linear' contains a FlexT9 skin that would go with this visual style perfectly. If that keyboard skin could somehow end up on this ROM that would complete the package for me. Odd request but you may find it worth looking into.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 903tex:
Yea it has something to do with the hdmi settings. So apps like pes 2011 wont work, fast reboot, But FPSE works. Can't install the paid version of xda bu the free version installs perfectly?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] omni_angel7:
If you use Better Keyboard, try "Linear - HD Keyboard Skin." I'll assume it's the same skin that you're referring to, because I had the same opinion on it's harmony with this ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] achok:
Yes, it is odd. Must be a permission thing? I've actually run into quite a few apps now that will cause immediate hot reboot, with no ability to move apps to sd.

Happy to help if someone needs a tester.

Achok
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rayan:
Awesome work Nottach, however I had to revert back to R-9 since I could not install from backup or even clean install from the Market MOST of my apps, including free apps like AdFree and many many more no matter what I do.

I will keep an eye on this ROM's progress.

Thanks again!

Rayan
[Atrix 4G Android Development] treehumper:
I still cannot install Wind Up Knight through either a restore or download/install from market. I had this problem on the initial 2.7 link, I don't know if there was a difference between that or the 2.7.5 but I figured I'd drop this out there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Takenover83:
I just installed Adfree on 2.7.5 just fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] treehumper:
I'm also seeing FC's with the e-mail client. It'll try and load an e-mail and fail, when I try to delete it the app will FC. 2.7.5... I'm going back to 2.6 for now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Takenover83:
Some Apps when installed will cause a soft-reboot. For example, Cordy. It's free on the market so give it a shot, and see if your Atrix soft reboots on 2.7.5.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Finally had an install cause a reboot. Ill finish up 2.6.5 this evening.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] achok:
Awesome, can't wait.

Thanks.

I am still on 2.4 but just posting to say thanks to Nottach for his hard work!

Followed starwarriors re-signing suggestions and it seems to have worked. I was able to restore all my apps at once, and install wind-up knight and cordy from market, with no reboots. Uploading now, Ill post the link in the AM.

You're the man. I'll load it up after dinner!

Simple question: Since Romracer has added Ext4 on CMW, can you release your ROM on ext3 and we have the choice to go to ext4 later? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Doesn't make any difference I suppose but at start of flashing it says "version: 2.7.X". Freaked me out a bit. File is the correct one though, 2.8.0-Wipe.

It takes a good while to start formatting the partitions to ext4; twice as long as the previous versions. Why is that? Did the same when I installed the first 2.6 version with the TiBu problems, hope this will work out. Update follows.

(Coming from cm7 & did full fastboot wipe prior to install.)

Update: TiBu restore went well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cpetersen2791:
Talk App

Just clean installed v2.8, and i am getting FC's on Google Talk. otherwise the install went well. Is this an isolated incident??

Nice work by the way, love the ROM!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
I didn't resign talk.apk because it receives updates. I guess I should have. Next time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] naset:
No problem so far.smooth as butter.fast as lightning.i love it! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nelsonw:
so, the unsigned apps will FC until they get an update? Redownload they from Market will fix this??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pacherecords:
Pefect to me

Hi i really appreciate all you hard work, this rom is great, so smooth.!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cpetersen2791:
You can't get it in the market, but I would love to know how to sign it, or upload an apk in dropbox so I can push it. Or wait for an update. Gotta have Talk!

UPDATE: Found this, so i am going to give it a shot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056793
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
To resign an apk you'd use apk manager. There are instructions in the landscape mirroring thread. Ill do it this evening and make a CWM zip. It'll be a small update, no wipe needed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] achok:
Just wanted to post to report all is looking good so far. Reinstall from TiBu went well too.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Loving this rom, Nottach. Much appreciated man :)

Also wanted you to know that it does in fact support atabic too :D

Was wondering though, is there any themes that would work for this? Don't get me wrong I love the theme's layout but red isn't really for me. If not then is there a way to makes us one Nottach, not really a theme but more of a color change only. Say from red to bright blue or sth.

Damn wouldn't that be sexyyyy xD

i cannot update flashplayer to flashplayer 11. i got "package file was not sign correctly" message..any help?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Try uninstalling - reboot - fix permissions (for good measure) - fresh install again. Worked for me, hope it does the trick

[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
Is there something special we have to do in order to get the HMDI mirroring to work? I'm trying to reinstall from scratch again but when I plugged it in the Moto logo is just bouncing around on the screen
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosmohtac:
HDMI mirroring was doing that on mine as well when I flashed the 2.6.5 ROM, but I failed to follow the instructions completely and didn't reboot into fastboot and give the fastboot -w - fastboot reboot commands.

I did follow the instructions on this ROM and all is working well now. Don't know if that will help you or not, but that was my experience.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
Unfortunately I did just do a completely new wipe following the instructions to the t and its still a no go. So its working for you now after following all the instructions? I guess third times the charm. Restoring apps from Titanium takes forever :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosmohtac:
Yep. Working great on mine. I tried it immediately after flashing before installing any apps. Did you try it prior to your titanium backup?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
Yes I did. Bleh I really don't feel like wasting another 2 hours doing another wipe right now. I'll try again in the morning and report back if it worked. I was really looking forward to some FF9 on widescreen finally :?

What exactly does it do for you? Like does anything pop up for you or do you just plug it in and it starts working right away? Is there any setting you have to set?

Edit: I lied I'm doing it right now. One thing I'm trying is I am taking out the actual sd-card and completely erasing the internal sd-card before wiping and installing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosmohtac:
When I flashed the previous ROM, I would plug in the cable and get the hdmi menu. If I chose webtop it worked fine, but when I chose mirroring it wouldn't do anything. The red Motorola logo would just keep floating around.

After flashing 2.8 I plugged in the hdmi cable and selected mirroring and it popped up the mirror image of my phone on the screen after just a second or two. It works really great. When you rotate your phone to landscape, it turns the image on the TV to landscape and fills the whole display.

Good luck, I hope you get it working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
I think I might jump on this release, but I also remember Nottach saying he would update later tonight. Could someone confirm these steps for flashing this ROM?

1. BACKUP EVERYTHING (also, any ideas how best to backup contacts synced with facebook? Is there some way to have facebook contact integration without blur, or is it the best solution?)

2. Charge phone to 100%.

3. Put Darkside ROM on external SD card of phone.

4. Power down phone, reboot into fastboot mode

5. wipe everything, format everything including internal SD (but not external since I just put the ROM on that).

6. Flash webtop.img (or should I flash Joe's webtop mod? which one works better with the webtop scripts and webtop2sd?)

7. reboot into CWM, flash DarkSide ROM.

8. reboot, set up Blur, then reboot back into CWM.

9. fix permissions?

10. reboot, and done.

Could someone please let me know if anything I'm doing is wrong or excessive?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosmohtac:
Nottach,

2.8 is a great improvement. I like all the tweaks and the great theme.

I just notice something that I had a question about.....Under Location & Security settings, the location services says VZW location services. Is it just labeled wrong but works fine for AT&T location services?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
See I don't know what I'm doing wrong I'm not getting the option at all. I'm not getting anything asking me if I want to use webtop or anything else. I previously had the old HDMI hack on that disabled webtop. Would this be interfering with things? I was assuming that this ROM would completely redo everything. Do I need to put webtop back to how it was before?

Also I am installing the ROM from the internal sd-card. Do I need to install it from the external one?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosmohtac:
I'm not sure all of that is necessary. All I did is what's listed below from the OP

I would just backup your contacts and apps with Titanium backup or My backup root, or the backup tool of your choice and then follow the steps below from the first page. Just make sure you have RomRacers recovery installed or a recovery that is compatible with EXT4.

Prerequisites

RomRacers Latest Recovery - Link

Fastboot Knowledge

100% Battery (4200+mV)

Process

Boot Into Recovery

Wipe Data / Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Flash ROM

Reboot into Fastboot

Run "fastboot -w"

Run "fastboot reboot"

I feel tempted to drop cm7 for a bit. just too try this ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosmohtac:
I've heard great things about CM7, but the two things I love about this phone are the fingerprint scanner and the webtop/hdmi. I haven't tried CM7 just because those two things aren't working on there yet. Now that we have HDMI mirroring in landscape just helps me enjoy this phone even more.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daneren2005:
You know I followed those exact instructions and I know for a fact its not doing something. When I first boot up the applications are gone but for all apps that are there by default they are in same spots that I had them on before wiping. And the folders that I had there before are still there as well (albeit empty cause the apps aren't installed that were in them). There must be something I'm missing...

Edit: Alright this time I just went through and formatted everything and then did the same thing again. This time it actually seemed to clear everything, including homescreen settings. And now of course it works. I'm not sure exactly what I did was that finally did it, but this is the 5th or so try doing exactly what you said to do so clearly something else was required to do an actual full wipe.
