Frustrated

I an in a very frustrating situation. I cant get gapps to CWM onto my phone. I have downloaded it from Rom Manger (several times) and I have tried to flash it from there. It boots into recovery finishes without a problem, But when I boot the phone out of recovery, no google apps to be found. I don't know what to do.

p.s.: I would just copy the files from the zip into system folder, but I cant unzip in file manager. I would use a different file manager, like eStrongs, but I cant get the market (google app) so I cant download it or use titanium backup to restore it, I cant download that either.

edit: figured out the problem, my recovery couldn't mount the /system. Trying a new recovery now :D

I can't seem to get this rom to work properly, so I'm looking to you guys for help. Unfortunately, typing "phone won't boot" in the search bar didn't bring up much, and I'm not reading through 90 pages to find a work around.

Basically, I had DarkSide rom, so I backed up everything, updated CWM, flashed the beta.zip, wiped cache/data, and rebooted. Now, I'm just sitting on the 'Unlocked' screen and nothing is happening. Waited 30 minutes, figured that was way too long, so I flashed Alien (couldn't find my DarkSide .zip) and it installed fine, booted in about 2 minutes, and all was good. So I re-downloaded the beta.zip, reflashed CWM (just to make sure it was up to date) and tried to reflash. Now I'm going on another 20 minutes with just the 'Unlocked' screen, and nothing is progressing. I don't consider myself to be a noob when it comes to Rom flashing, so I guess I'm just asking for help from anyone who may have had this issue. Thanks guys,

J

FIXED IT! Rom Manager didn't update to the proper version. Fastboot flashed the ext4 recovery and I've got a boot screen, but it keeps boot looping, so now to fix that....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik before and after rom flash.

Does anyone know why my voice search would be crashing only when it has to search the web? (does not crash when telling it to dial someone or write a message or look up a map)

Could it possibly be because I uninstalled the stock browser?

Also is there a way to back up the cyanogen mod settings? I would hate to have to do all my setting up for another time (maybe 5th times the charm?)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FtaWolf:
Use fastboot to clean your atrix.

Then try rom again.

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase -w

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot erase boot

fastboot reboot

Go in cwm install rom..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pirateghost:
This is such bad advice to give someone. Only wipe BEFORE a rom flash. If you get in the habit of doing it before and after you will screw yourself out of additions that some roms provide.

If you actually know what wiping does, you would see this is an asinine statement.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
Worked flawlessly for me, not one issue ever.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
Perhaps you missed the implicit instructions in the op to wipe data and caches after install..... Perhaps you're more knowledgeable than the actual devs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pirateghost:
yeah, it doesnt cause any issues doing it this way with THIS rom. try loading up another rom that contains stuff in /data/app or if it was an HTC device, /data/local/ or even sometimes a gps file in there somewhere.....

THIS rom doesnt contain anything in DATA which makes it ok to do so, but telling someone to do it this way is retarded, should they ever move on to other roms.

it is NOT required to wipe after install, you can wipe it BEFORE install and its fine.

this doesnt even deserve a response.

if you know what wiping cache and factory reset actually does, you will understand why this is a retarded thing to tell people.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Actually i've had best results doing wipe, install, wipe, install. That way I know everything is clean as a whistle.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xredjokerx:
I agree with pirateghost. When you wipe after flashing, you do indeed lose goodies that certain chefs have bundled in. One wipe before is enough. I believe you can wipe cache and dalvik after if you must.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pirateghost:
yes. wiping cache and dalvik is perfectly fine.

Had ssomething interesting happen today....I was on the phone and after the call, my screen went black. No matter what I did I couldn't get the screen to turn on so I thought the battery might have died somehow without me knowing it. I plugged my USB cord into the phone and Viola, it turned on.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nineismine:
Exact same thing for me too

[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
Lol, you're the stupid bastard contradicting the devs in their own thread because you have no idea what your talking about. Nice back pedal saying it's ok for this rom though.... I wasn't sure the devs made that clear enough already when they explained it in their install instructions.

I saw your lame cm thread in general where you talk more nonsense about romracers cwm not supporting ext 4, etc....

Bottom line you have exactly 0 credibility to speak technicalities about anything at all. You simply don't know wtf you're talking about.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
Maps and most camera apps haven't been working from day one with this rom although it may be my full external memory card. Oddly, Waze just stopped working but was working fine. I wonder if it was a recent update. I was royaly screwed trying to use it and got lost because none of my map program works.

Also i am not able to wake up from phone calls.. don't know if it's the proximity censor or what. I always have problems with roms I guess it's just being unlucky.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Kraize:
Sir, I mean no disrespect, but you SHOULD REALIZE that Pirateghost is, in fact, a RECOGNIZED DEVELOPER and does, indeed, KNOW what he's talking about and he is also RIGHT.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scrchngwsl:
Irrespective of Pirateghost's credibility here (or perceived lack thereof), he is, in actual fact, correct.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
So saying romracers cwm doesn't support ext 4 when it clearly did for over a month is knowledgeable? Or how about contradicting the install instructions directly from the dev of the most technically intricate ROM port concerning the atrix...

FAIL
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
Oh really, so explain why people are getting bootloops after installing and not wiping data (obviously from not reading the op)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tonesy:
as a matter of fact I did NOT do a factory reset after installation as suggested in the op and did not get any bootloops, so explain that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Not to break up the party here. I flashed this for a bit but gad to flash back, needed webtop or at least hdmi mirroring for work.

My question : its not on the working nor the not working list. But I have come to realize that the webtop is basically useless and all we need is hdmi mirroring. See I realized that even with systemr89's full ubuntu I really don't need the os. And compared to stock webtop I have a facebook app and webbrowser on the android os, so really no need for webtop os.

Can we get or work on hdmi support before the webtop? Or if someone knows how to get the touch and orientaion right let me know... cause that and decent int/ext storage supper is all I need to make the switch permanent.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
Try installing it from stock gingerbread and not wiping data. Fail x2...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] poppygt:
I flashed from stock gingerbread after a cwm wipe and didn't wipe afterwards and didn't have any residual data leftover and haven't had a problem whatsoever. Been running the newest beta since it went up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
it never worked officially, and the hack that enabled it only worked in portrait mode, not landscape.

Why is it a big deal? with HDMI mirroring in LANDSCAPE, you basically have a portable HTPC in your pocket... On the go netflix, hbo, hulu, etc on any tv with hdmi?

Its needed. Its wanted.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pirateghost:
so as long as i dont stoop to calling you names, like you feel the need to do to me, i have the upper hand in this conversation.

i love how you are spouting off that i dont know what i am talking about, yet you do?

do you understand the options in recovery??

do you fully understand what those options are doing?

just because you read it in the first post in this thread does not make it gospel.

you know why it works on CM7? because CM7 doesnt include a /data in the flash

if you get in the habit of doing it before and after, when someone builds a rom that includes items in /data, you wont get them in your flash. all i am saying is that it is NOT smart to tell people that thats how it should be done.

let me break it down for you

wiping BEFORE is necessary unless upgrading from a previous build of a ROM

wipe cache/factory reset just formats /cache and /data

i never said you shouldnt wipe data at all, i said its stupid to get in the habit of doing it before AND after a flash. just get in the habit of NOT doing it AFTER the flash.....

i dont really understand your stance on this. i am still trying to figure out what exactly YOU have done for the XDA community.

**oh and please point me to my post in general about romracers recovery ;)

you know, after going through some of your other posts, i see you are just a troll you have contributed NOTHING to XDA aside from snide remarks and rude comments to everyone. go away

Difference between pre-beta4 and beta

I'm on the impression that pre-beta 4 is the same as beta. Correct me if am wrong. :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Bruce Lee:
Technically no since beta has the camcorder working and and prebeta 4 didn't. I am not positive but, there were probably other bug fixes too in the beta package.

***Keyboard*** The keyboard now is extremely tiny lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nickn850:
Wouldnt mind a bigger keyboard, and for some reason my battery drains quickly.. Idle is eating up most of my battery. Dont know why.

Im not complaining though. Its the chances ya take with a beta :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kandroid:
I see the same choppiness with the "HD" setting (1080p). The "High" setting (720p) seems to be a lot smoother. I would have to do some tests in daylight to confirm that. If I still have issues, I might have to switch back to stock until this is fixed - I rely on my Atrix for all my camcorder needs, and this is a big show stopper.

I searched around, but no one seems to be addressing this issue? Is this specific to a few phones then?

does anyone have a fix for the com.android.phone force close every second??!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vicious Von:
I test my atrix overnight without charging and it only lost 10% went from 97% at 11pm to 87% at 8:30am. I dont seem to have any problems with the beta. I would like a final version of CM7 for the Atrix though (fingerprint, webtop) but no rush for me as Im not a Dev so I have no clue about that stuff. Funny thing though, when it comes to changing my keyboards from stock to better keyboard or swype theres no direct option for me to change them. I have to long press the keyboard while its open to change input method. I couldnt go to settings to do it because it doesn't exist there. I I've flashed over numerous times and though its not a deal breaker it is an option that I wish was still there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] surrealjam:
I would agree with this sentiment - the idle battery drain is definitely on the high side.

As pointed out though, this is a beta and I am sure when the final release is made this will be improved.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] darkamikaze:
I'm surprised you guys don't like swype D: .. I mean the Beta sign up for it is open to anyone pretty much :o ..

and yea Battery life would be a plus. but I think more battery life would come from the kernel :x.. so hopefully faux can feel better and jump on back to kernel making lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] oneofthemoment:
I tried using to 1.3 Ghz kernal and kept getting a bootloop. Did some research and found that faux's kernal is already part of CM7 beta 4 so I flashed back to it. Interested in underclocking but need to research more on proper CPU settings.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ilkinansr92:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mormegil83:
and car dock audio support and horizontal hdmi mirroring!!! those three things and this ROM would be PERFECT!!! without them it is far better than anything else out there for the atrix anyway!

Thanks everyone working on this!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratkid2271:
So, I'm seeing a lot of people talk about bad battery life. I've got great battery life on the beta (only 20-30% used in a day with calls, sms, web browsing, etc...)

I

am

using the stock cm kernel, with undervolting and profiles. My settings for those who want to try it are as follows:

profiles:

screen off, priority 90, 456 max, 215 min

battery < 25%, priority 85, 608 max, 216 min

In Call, priority 75, 456 max, 216 min

Voltage tables:

1100, -50

1000, -50

912, -50

750, -75

608, -75

456, -75

216, -100

I am also not using the facebook app which is a huge battery drain (with it, i was losing multiple % an hour, simply deleting it made a big difference).

If there are any other questions about my configuration, let me know!

Edit:

forgot to mention, I leave bluetooth and wifi on all day (wifi is only connected at home).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gandalf:
I second this, I had horrendous battery life until I uninstalled the Facebook app.

I have installed faux's 0.2.0 OC kernel and my battery life seems to be light years ahead of where it was

Try downloading a GPS app so you can calibrate your phone and/or download AGPS data. Worked for me. You can alternatively change the gps.conf file manually. That's usually what I do.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alcapone263:
yep, you can install any Theme Chooser theme for CM7. some threads call it the t-mobile theme chooser. although i have tried a few that had missing bits and pieces, most of them work great for our phone.

Yeah, any theme made for the Theme Chooser app will work.

Edit: I was close, but not close enough:(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t.s.eliot:
If anyone is feeling up to trying this, here is where the fingerprint data appears to be stored. I'm guessing this is where the authentec com.authentec.tsm.TSM.LAP verify method checks for data. When I deleted these files I was immediately back to PIN unlocking until I registered fingerprints again.

/data/am2data.db

/data/am2data.db.meta

Here are some other files that may be useful to have, if you are trying to ensure that Authentec DataDefender could work on CM 7. I don't know what these do, they just seem to be related to the fingerprint scanner or authentec truesuite mobile framework.

/system/app/FingerprintSensor.apk

/data/com.motorola.fingerprint

(There appear to be a lot of sub-directories with data, I'm not sure which ones are important or not)

/data/com.authentec.truesuitemobile

(This directory appears empty, seems like it isn't used.)

If anyone tries this, please let me know if any of this is successful in getting DataDefender working on CM7. I'm just waiting for some semblance of fingerprint authentication before I make the jump.
