How you guys getting 4800+ quadrant? Most I got was 4300.
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
I really don't get how you guys get such absurd battery life. If I don't run any Trillian or Skype or anything and occasionally use my phone to send texts I can get about 10-13 hours max. You guys have spikes downward as if you're using some taxing app and you still get really good life D:

Yea, I've done the battery calibration tutorial deal and none of my apps appear to be misbehaving in the overusing memory and cpu business. My awake bars look very similar to yours...
[Atrix 4G General] lellouchftw:
How do you guys get that handy graph of your battery life?

lol
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
Can u please lay down the exact steps ? I have been trying for quite a while. I am not able to find the correct configuration for the best results. Usually I am down 10% of battery after 6 hours of browsing. I am browsing on Wifi.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
You probably mean that you are down to 10% left after 6 hours of browsing I hope? :-) That's very good, what else do you want?!
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Nope, am not. Don't even know what that is.. :-)

Ach, quadrant is not reliable anyway. I put minimum & max on 1,3 GHz after a fresh reboot and kill all the running apps with the built in function of Go Launcher EX. Then run the test 3-4 times in a row, it starts hitting those scores. It's literally flying through it..
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
My bad. I was saying I am down by 10% of battery after half an hour of browsing over wifi.

I don't know what was I thinking when I was writing.

Anyways can u detail a bit of ur customizations.
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:
10% per half hour is 20% per hour, which is 5 hours per charge. 5 hours of active wifi and screen on sound like good battery life to me.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
+1. Clear the battery stats & do a couple of full charge /discharge cycles, it'll probably go up a bit more.

Also depends how far you are from your router; how strong a signal you receive / how good the connection is. Full signal = faster loading times = more battery for screen time
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Wow, I wasn't on much yesterday but dang had like 5 pages to read through this morning lol. First off thanks everyone for keeping this thread mature (that is not sarcasm btw, I'm being serious), I appreciate everyone being able to be adults. Second, for everyone having those weird issues with the notifications about "data limit" stuff, I posted a fix for it earlier in one of the previous pages on this thread that someone had discovered. I'll see if I can dig it up, if not it's somewhere between page 20-26 I imagine. Third, battery life has a lot to do with kernel and radio combinations, I am running the 1.3 ghz overclock kernel with the 1.77 radio *stock gingerbread radio* and I get great battery life. That's what I suggest, I wasn't a big fan of the 1.1ghz overclock. Plus I like being able to throw up 6,100 Antutu benchmarks :p I'll be back on in a few after I get some work done.

I really hate myself for asking this, so here goes. I am running a virtually stock Bell rom. I have rooted and I am running the latest Swype and ADW, but other than that its stock. I would like to start to play with CM7. Is there a Bell specific guide I can follow ?
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
It should be because you have Juice defender on. And why do u think people have so much time to infer, from the image u shared, that u were talking about the battery saved during sleep. I don't know if there are mind readers here :P

On the other hand, with Alien Rom and 3g on, 2 gmail accounts, 1 imap, 2 twitter accounts syncing, news syncing, google talk on I could get 6 hours with only 10% battery drain. Mostly because there was no display time.

Camcorder?

Hey guys,

I installed pre-beta 4 a few days ago, and just today noticed that the camcorder has made its way onto the feature list since, so I just ran a fresh install of the currently packaged CM7 pre-beta 4, but there's no camcorder!

Is this in an apk that someone can share with me? I've done a little poking around with no success.

Thanks!

I was confused by this as well but it's my understanding that the beta release coming out soon should have this. :cool:

I just wanted to let you know the pre beta 4 is awesome! This is like having a new phone. Long press of the volume skips tracks in poweramp now. Can't waitto see how this gets better. My battery life is now freaking great too!
[Atrix 4G General] fimbulvetr:
I just thanked you, I didn't know you could do that in poweramp! Here's my tidbit: In CM7, turns out you can configure a long press of the back button to kill the current app. I've already integrated it into my routine and hope to gain battery life, mem usage and control from such a nifty feature.
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
I went a little crazy with my CM7 customization and posted about it (screens and text) in the screenshots thread. I figured I would link it here since this is the ROM that I am most in love with right now, and to show yet another potential CM7 setup

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17527716&postcount=1279

Decided to also share my current UV for Pre-beta 4. I somehow doubt it will work for most people. I have been using it since PB3. I have had *one* reboot since I started using it and it honestly could have been result of messing with other CM7 settings. (VM Heap, etc. The reboot happened when I had been messing with a lot of different settings) If I start having problems with it, I'll just drop everything 25 and work from there.

I do know that I accidentally ran 1300/1300 all day today (Excluding times that profiles would kick in) and experienced no reboots. But I did have some ultra battery drain (haha wonder why).

Also attached is a benchmark from Pre-Beta 3 using the same 1.9 kernel that I am using now. I can't achieve a score this high again though. It's almost frustrating me. I am pretty sure all of my Pre-Beta 3 scores were higher. But it isn't a big deal, this runs wonderfully *and* has working camera!
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
THE BETA IS UP!!!

Just downloaded and doing a backup!!!
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
Dude. You are the best. I scrolled down after my post and nearly had a heart attack due to excitement. I feel so legitimate now that it isn't "Pre-Beta" but actual beta.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
lol no worries. I'm just the messenger. All praise be to the CM7 Team and devs porting this over!!!

I put faux's kernel on there after and man is it ever screaming along. Sooooo fast. I can't believe how fast it is.

Camcorder works too :)
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
I haven't been able to flash yet, I'm being a good boy and charging to 100%. I am assuming it comes with the 1.1 GHZ overclock again? I might try it out for a while, but I have admittedly been loving my 1.3
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Yep, it's 1.1ghz. I'm not sure how the kernel they're using works or what it's based on, but I've been using faux123's since it was available on Bell/International Atrix devices and I've got cold feet about using anything else.

I admittedly didn't give their kernel a chance but no complaints with faux's latest CM7 kernel. 1.3ghz is amazing and on my last cycle I got 36 hours of battery life!

I don't disable syncing, use stupid task killers or battery saving apps either.
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
Wow. I must say I am impressed. Surely you must have some tricks of your own aside from the apps. Even with Juice Defender and Set CPU profiles I don't get anywhere close to that
[Atrix 4G General] dmbrown81:
Just to be clear since I'm on pre-beta now I can just install and flash the official beta release ? Should I factory reset or wipe anything? I would wipe everything through fastboot but my laptop is at the office.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
Upgrading from earlier CM7:

Download and push the ROM zip file to the sdcard.

Reboot into recovery.

Do a Backup to be safe!

Install the ROM zip from sdcard (your Google apps will be backed up automatically).

There you go bro. Thanks for asking here instead of the dev thread (no sarcasm), but that is where I got this. I would personally wipe cache though. Probably Dalvik too. Just out of habit

It's faux123's 1.1 overlock kernel, the previous version had the 1.3 overclock version in it if I'm not mistaken. Here's a link to faux's kernels, if you scroll down to the changelogs for the versions you can find 1.7 version.

The 1.1 GHz kernel is built into the ROM. Wipe cache and Dalvik then reflash prebeta 4. You should be good from there. The CM7 1.9 kernel works though if you want 1.3 GHz.
[Atrix 4G General] dream5hift:
Would reflashing wipe everything?
[Atrix 4G General] enomai:
Looks like included kernel is actually 2.6.32.39-MB860-CM7-karanalmodroot@laptop #14 which is turl's mod on faux's kernel. It is not exactly 1.7.

If you wipe cache, data, and dalvik it will. Which is recommended. It won't wipe /sdcard or /sd-ext though.

[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I only have a screen off profile for SetCPU and I don't compromise my device by disabling syncing. I just set it to sync Facebook and Twitter every two hours keep Wifi enabled at all times.

I think people **** around with their devices way too much and that's what ironically stops them from getting battery life. I drain and charge fully a couple of times a month and delete the battery stats when making a big change.

I only have around 70-80 apps installed at a time too. I'm picky about my apps and ROMs so I don't use ****ty, unpolished work. I use very clean ROMs or just manually apply my own hacks. Unless a ROM developer does something truly incredible, most hacks and mods can be applied by yourself. I then keep a backup of my ROMs too. piCrust was my favorite ROM to use prior to CM7 because it was super clean and fast as hell!

I also freeze useless apps that I'll never use too. But CM7 is obviously minimalistic so there was really only a few things I was able to freeze. I'm very happy with my Atrix at the moment. I just really want HDMI mirroring and I'd be set!
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
So I am still confused with the mounting. Emmc should be the internal SD card while the external one is called SD card. At least that is what Titanium backup tells me. I removed the external SD card and when I look in the settings under storage the Emmc (internal SD card) is shown as not available.

[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
i think the fix is clear battery stats at full charge (70% for you), take battery out, plug into wall charger, then place the battery back in and let it charge up.
[Atrix 4G General] MyronJ906:
Thanks bro, that did it. Haha, I thought it was something like that but I forgot the removing battery while it was plugged into the wall bit. It is displaying 100% again, which in fact should be correct but I will run calibration anyway.

I think it had something to do with doing a nandroid back up at about 75% and then a nandroid restore at about 100%. That's the only thing I can think of since it's exactly what happened and this has never happened to me before.
[Atrix 4G General] PakaPakaxz:

[Atrix 4G General] Auxilium:
There's no noticeable difference in the 1.1GHz and 1.3GHz in terms of everyday usage performance, only difference is in the benckmark scores. Which is one of the reasons I don't use the 1.3GHz kernel, also battery drain is too much, I was on it for a week and then switched back to the stock CM7 kernel (1.1GHz) I usually get 20+ hours of normal usage (Including sleep) and 15+ hours of heavy usage.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Oh wow. See I never really tested out the 1.1 ghz kernel properly I pretty much switched right away to the 1.3overclock but I'm keeping it this time around. If I can get better battery life I'll give up the holy $hit benchmarks.

If that was your first run on Quadrant, run it 2 more times and it will be significantly higher.

First and third were in 4300 area.

Atrix lover here but this phone has been downhill for me since the official GB update. Froyo seemed much more relaible. That said Ive been lurking around here reading Noob guides hoping to get into modding and checking out cm7 etc. But I hope at some point someone writes up a CM7 beta install guide to take a stock retail 4.5.91 phone (unlocked, unrooted, uneverything) to CM7.

It just seems like information overload that you have to piece from several threads over several months and the old information gets irrelevant and several variations. I guess I never realized how involved this would be compared to my friends modding their HTC phone in seconds.

Correct me if Im wrong but what I believe the correct order is...from stock 4.5.91

1. Wipe phone and cache from within android. (necessary?)

2. unlock bootloader (using one step script)

3. install CWM recovery (either stock or romracer)

follow the existing pre-beta guides from here.
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
