Camera and Camcorder are both working awesome. Crystal clear resolution on both camera and camcorder. I was using the MIUI Camera from the General Discussion forum, but I think that the camera CM7 comes with is much better.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aZzz.bZzz:
Just noticed weird thing. I tried to use camera in dark and saw weird circle right in center. When I turn the light on, I don't see it. It isn't lens defect, I checked and cleaned it. It doesn't go away even if I close the lens with my finger. Anyone else could see this ? Or I just have to sleep more?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Go sleep more.

No, I've seen it as well. I believe that's what people were talking about with the stock gallery we have. Compression issues. I downloaded QuickPic and it doesn't seem to have that circle anymore. I don't think it's an issue with the camera.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aZzz.bZzz:
Its not viewer's bug. U use quickpic for viewing as well, but I see circle only in viewfinder

Flashed this at 10 am yesterday morning at 100%... here were my steps (coming from Alien ROM 4)

Booted into ROM Manager's CWM (newest version)

Wiped cache

Wiped dalvik

Wipe data/factory reset

Rebooted into recovery

Flashed .zip

Wiped cache

Wiped dalvik

Wiped battery stats

Fixed permissions

Rebooted, once the phone booted I let it sit there for a good 20 minutes to let it build the systems files and such...

After the 20 minutes I rebooted back into recovery and flashed the new Gapps, fixed permissions and rebooted

This worked like a charm and I haven't had one issue or random reboot...

My battery life has been absolutely phenomenal (screenshot below), I currently have 2% and took it off the charger around 10:30 am yesterday. I am letting it die completely, pulling battery, plugging into charger, reinserting battery and charging to 100% just to be safe. Display time was 3h 11m 3s, Voice calls was 39m 11s and WiFi was on for 4h 57m 51s. I also had bluetooth on at work last night and played music off my phone through it for about an hour to an hour and a half. I probably had bluetooth on for a total of 3 hours all day. I also restored 120 some apps or so, ran a few quadrant tests and CF tests all things that drain battery rather quickly. I expect the next charge to drain even slower.

For those who are asking about how to get great battery life, all I did was set the CPU govener in CMSettings to powersave, set a SetCPU profile to 216/216, undervolted 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 100, 150 respectively (going to test higher later) and froze maybe 10-15 apps (I have 120+ installed). Hope this helps some of you with you battery issues but realistically if you get 15-18 hours out of it you should be thoroughly pleased.

Want to say a HUGE thanks to all the devs that worked on this, it is great and I cannot wait to see what more it brings in the future. Keep up the hard work, it is greatly appreciated even though some people's comments may make it seem like it isn't... trust me it is!!

GOOD DAY.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Hydrohs:
That would make sense, but it wasn't really on long enough to it to get that hot, I wouldn't think. I've had it on longer before. But that was with different ROMs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
You can rest assured as the camera and camcorder apps work great. The GUI is nothing fantastic but it's functionality that matters. And that's what the CM7 team kept in mind.

No need to worry about proprietary drivers or framework. You should theoretically be able to use any camera app out there. I've used a few to test things out and they all worked fine. I just haven't found one with a GUI and features to settle on quite yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MyronJ906:
Barcode Scanner worked after I unchecked and then rechecked pre-focus. Maybe last night was a fluke or I was literally too tired to know what I was doing. As far as camera apps go, I lean towards Camera 360 Ultimate myself. Followed by Vignette for effects (and snap pic with volume keys)

But I love being able to long press search to snap a pic with the CM7 camera

The reboot mostly happens when your screen turns off.. don't let the screen turn off while the LED is on and it shouldn't reboot.. try it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
Ok.. I have an interesting scenario here.... I purchased my phone from Costco as an AT&T phone, however this is what is showing:

cat /proc/cmdline
mem=320M@0M nvmem=192M@320M mem=512M@512M vmalloc=320M video=tegrafb console=nul
l usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=mbr:d00:100:800,kpanic:21
00:400:800 security=tomoyo mot_prod=1 androidboot.serialno=**********

My issue is this... I cannot install the latest CWM from ROM Manager, I can only flash the old 04.1.02. I am currently on a custom built ROMRacer CWM because the only CWM of his that will work is one with the Froyo 2.2.2 kernel (4.1.83). So apparently My phone thinks it is still Froyo somewhere. I would really like to flash CM7 Beta and be able to flash the full when it is available. I am currenlty on πCrust and running Faux 1.7 Kernel. Any insight on what I can do to get my phone up to par to run CM7?

*Side note... I have tried flashing a full Pudding 2.3.4 SBF and still have the issue.

Thank you all!!

Hope I don't get flamed for putting it in this thread, but I have tried flashing and just get the Dual Core screen, undoubtedly due to the wrong CWM version...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Dude this is amazing!!!! flashed it today and have so far no problems!!! i love it... super fast and smooth!!!!

Great job team!!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
Well, I am currently on πCrust ROM... so I am on 2.3.4... but for some reason, when I flash a recovery it just won't show the screen. I can flash the recovery successfully via ROM Manager, or any recovery for that matter, but When I boot into recovery I get no screen, just the "entering recovery," However, If I am hooked up via USB to a computer, I can see I am in recovery via ADB... So I guess the phone is in recovery, I just can't do anything on the phone itself...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dr01dfan:
I'm on an AT&T Atrix with the Beta installed, and the market FCed constantly after about 4 seconds of launching it.

This is what I've done so far:

-Fastboot wiped everything

-Installed CM7 with Romracer's recovery

-Factory reset, wiped cache

-Booted into CM7, everything is ok

-Went back to recovery, factory reset, wiped cache

-Installed gapps

-Boot CM7, old market works fine, it auto updated to the new one, FCed after 4 seconds, every time.

-Installed CWM recovery from Rom Manager

-Fastboot wiped everything, booted into CWM recovery

-Installed CM7, factory reset, wiped cache

-Installed gapps, rebooted

-Old market was fine, new one FCed..

-Booted back to recovery, applied permission fix, no results....

Not really sure what else I can do at this point. Is the new market working for you guys?

delete /etc/install-recovery.sh

then flash the CWM again from rommanager

then in rommanager use the reboot into recovery option.

Can't Unlock whith USB Plugged in

All has been great but I have found that I cannot unlock my phone when the phone is plugged into my computer. When you try to unlock, the green arrow pops up and it rotates just a bit but not enough to unlock. Does this with charge only and Memory Card Usage. Once I unplug the phone it unlocks fine.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
are you trying to flash a 1% mod theme made for 2.3.4 atrix ROMs? that won't work on this.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
battery life for me is poor, when cpu is used (like playing poker) and/or screen is on for long battery drains like mad. With blur i last close to 17 to 24 hours this maybe 10.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Have you calibrated the battery? Also, have you checked to see which apps are causing the drain? It's more probable that there's a rogue app like Facebook for instance. Their latest update caused massive battery drain for me, but on pre-beta4 I got 36 hours with normal usage.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
yeh i have fb and new update. Well fb normally update if they release a version that drains.

oh i did calibrated the battery but i'll do it when its fully charged as it drained fully and turned off
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Sounds good.

Regarding Facebook, they did two recent upgrades. The prior upgrade didn't do anything adverse to my battery but the latest is reportedly causing massive drain. I see that the GPS indicator goes off and doesn't stop when you load it. I'm sure they'll fix that and release an update soon enough.

Keep us posted. The battery life for the CM7 is beastly! Hope you get it sorted out too!

Power Button to end calls...enables volume to end also !

I hung up on my dad like 3 times today cause I was trying to lower in call volume. Each time I used volume rocker in call it hung up. I found that this only happens when I have "power button ends calls" activated and the screen is off due to proximity. When enabled and screen is on, volume acts as should but when screen goes off it ends the call. I find this to be a bug...should I report it in the big tracker or does no one else have this problem?

Personally I like the power button to end calls.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
Glad that you stopped by. Thanks for your contributions to CM7. It's working amazing!

I really miss the Swype keybord in the CM7 so...

Copy the files off another atrix rom (alien, crust,...) to CM7 file system:

/system/app/Swype.apk

/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

Edit CM7 /system/build.prop line:

ro.build.product=olympus

to

ro.build.product=olyatt

Works for me.

If anyone has another method, please, tell us.

Only gripe is that the latest version isn't as accurate as the previous one. But that ain't a CM7 problem :)

I need some help with this one before i decide to flash CM7 beta, i'm currently running the latest homebase which is SUPER stable and includes the fingerprint scanner(which is one of the main features i really want in a rom), now i know that CM7 doesn't have it yet, but would yall recommend the switch from Homebase to CM7 right now, or wait for the official. Cause I loved CM on my G1 and my Aria, but i need something i can use daily with a great battery life cause i listen to music a lot on my phone. The battery life i'm getting on Homebase is ok but not great, i would take it off the charger around 7:30 am and by about 2:30pm it's at 66%, normally with Ninja Superfreak it would be around 85% around that time, but what do yall think?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mobileweasel:
I tried that. It says no backup folder detected. If I use file manager the backup is located in emmc/titanium backup. So it is there ...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
There'll be a definite bias in this thread but for all intents and purposes, yes, we highly recommend CM7. The Fingerprint scanner IMHO is a gimmick. CM7's advantages completely overshadow anything a Blur based ROM can offer. This is barely in the beta stage but it's more than stable enough to be used as a daily driver.

I was getting under 30 hours with piCrust and now I'm getting a few hours shy of 40 hours of battery life. Most users are getting better battery life by the looks of things too.

If you go to Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Application Settings - could you try putting a checkmark in "Use internal storage" and try again? I believe that should do the trick.

You could also go to Preferences and Backup Card Location to steer it in the right direction if it's TiBu.

I could be wrong but I believe those are tied to the Blur framework. I'm not sure if they're anything you could use in CM7. You could always pull them from a Blur ROM, put them in the appropriate folders with the correct permissions but I have a feeling it won't work.

I personally use GO SMS. You can customize it quite well and it works great for me. I'm picky about my apps and this hasn't done enough to piss me off, so I'd say it's doing it's job. :D

No comprende.

Have you calibrated your battery? Also, if you're judging the battery life without doing a drain and charge cycle I'd say you're making judgement off inconclusive results. Clear the batterystats.bin file and allow it to rebuild. Just use your phone normally and if after a couple of days it's still horrible, then you'll know if you've got a problem.

Mine has been working great right from the start.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
For those getting gibberish when using the new Swype keyboard, you most likely accidentally switched languages. On the bottom left hand part of the keyboard there's a language switch button, if it says EN it's in English. When it's switched to another language it wont say EN. Try hitting that button and you should be swyping away in no time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
I would see if it's a particular app which is causing this. I would upgrade to the beta and make sure to delete all the appropriate caches.

Back everything up with TiBu and reload it with a fresh install. That's your best bet for sure.

I had that problem before but it's definitely not the cause this time around. They've changed the algorithms as I can Swype with a friend's Atrix with the older version to compare. The old one is way better. Perhaps I may just reload that and stop derailing this thread though lol :D

Thanks nonetheless! I appreciate it.

Otherwise in CM7 settings check the LED assignments as well. I have LED working for both messaging and gmail with different colors.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sass86:
No, its you. Go into cm settings>interface>LED notifications. Then click unconfigured and setup messaging. For the SD card. Go into cm settings>application> then check allow application moving. After that open manage applications and move to SD card Don't be afraid to look through the ROM, just don't change things until you understand them more.

I'd give it a shot. SIP for example was broken in moto or moto build based ROMs, but now working. I'd imagine it was similar issues with teh audio stack

Thx for the led info.

As for the moving files, I'm talking about files and pictures inside file manager. When u try to move them from internal to SD or from SD to internal it says could not be moved. Checking the allow application box didn't fix it.

CM7 2G/3G Toggle on Events not functioning properly

Coming from Nexus S and being addicted to CM ROMs is what I am. ATRIX is awesome and this is why I got an ATT SIM unlocked using it outside USA.

The real function that enslaves me in CM is the smart 2G/3G toggle (based on event) does alot to save battery and optimize the performance.

You can find that by long press in screen>Widget>Power Control>Wi-Fi Events Settings or Data Events Settings

I have only ticked "Wi-Fi disables 3G" in Wi-Fi Events Settings

After flashing CM7 beta4 I have noticed that this is not working. Did anybody experienced this?

Afterall, Awesome work donation is well deserved, keep it up dev's :D

[Atrix 4G Android Development] AndyPhreak:
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm seeing here as well. I also have "volume rocker wake" enabled - how about you?

You could start by reporting it in the bug tracker, though it may actually be present in CM7 base. In which case the atrix dev team should mark it as such and hopefully report it up the chain.

---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

Issue 132 is my bug report, and it sounds like it bit you as well. My 32GB SD card is definitely not being erased by any CM7 build I've tried so far. The atrix dev team haven't yet confirmed that they can replicate the problem.

Is anyone else here having a problem with this?

What seems to be happening here is that if the current partition on your SD card doesn't have the params that CM7 expects (starting sector, etc.), then CM7 creates a new partition but doesn't actually format it; and the next time it sees the partition it thinks it's a "Blank SD card" and can't mount it (since it has no file system to mount at that point). And because the "Erase SD card" function is not actually working (at least not with my 32GB card), then CM7 can't do anything with a "blank card". My experience has been that such a card cannot be erased in CWM Recovery either (or at least not to CM7's satisfaction).

One solution is to use CM7 to "format" the card, which will create the partition with the params it wants (starting at sector 2048). Then remove the card and put it in a USB carrier and format the partition in Windows using MiniTool Partition Wizard or a similar utility. Be sure to make it a Primary FAT32 partition and not the Logical partition that MiniTool defaults to. Then return the card back to the phone and CM7 should be able to use it. And you should be able to erase it in CWM Recovery (though this may screw up the formatting for CM7 again). But you still won't be able to erase it in CM7.
