CM dropped official support due to kernel stability issues. I remember we were discussing ROMs. 7.2 was, according to CM, the last stable version. Due to all the changes when everything became 4.0, the kernel became unstable on our device. Our devs have created a kernel that is stable enough for daily use, but not stable enough for an official CM. You do have CM9, 10, 10.1, 10.2, and 11 that are stable. CM12 needs work before being recommended for daily use.

this is going to seem like a really stupid question, but curiosity is getting the better of me so i figured i'd ask it here.

alright, prepare to flame me for being retarded, but what makes CM7 boot up so damn fast? i can't find anything anywhere that explains this phenomenon but it amazes me how fast my device boots up every single time with CM7... i honestly can't stand any other ROM because of boot times, and solely boot times >.<
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turl1:
CM7 is full of optimizations. One of them consists on skipping native library extraction from APKs if the libraries have been extracted previously. Probably that only optimization is causing most of the ultra quick boot :)

PS: newer (internal) builds have an option to disable boot animations. I heard it boots even faster then haha :)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
it's better to stay away from .sbf flashing unless you absolutely have no other option, it's too easy to brick your device with it.

that's the whole reason samcripp created the fruitcakes, so people have a way to flash back to stock without risking a brick.

Rooted & unlocked B/L but do I need to root again ?

Can anyone advise please..I'm in the middle of trying to backup current T-mobile (2.2.2) stock ROM & then installing CM7 beta.

I followed this guide to root my T-Mobile Atrix http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

I then installed both TitaniumB & Rom Manager to test. All seemed good..

I then followed this guide to unlock the bootloader http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196747 and again all seemed to run according to plan BUT I noticed that this process had wiped the above software off, so I installed Titanium & Rom Manager again but upon running Titanium it said it could not gain root access, is this normal ? Do I just need to root again ?

Advice would be REALLY appreciated !

I unlocked the BL using a this method (Option 1). I was still rooted after unlocking. I'm on AT&T, not Bell so I don't know if that would matter.

See Swfitks's answer to you here. Sounds like it can happen, so just try re-rooting.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
So long as you follow instructions, its fine. I've used the SBF files for AT&T with my device more times than I can count. As long as you set everything up properly and KNOW what your DOING..... you'll have no issues. People who brick are generally those who panic during long reboots and unplug too quickly or pull the battery. Fruitcakes is only for ppl who have some weird desire to go from Gingerbread back to Froyo. Any Gingerbread .sbf is safe to flash.

WebDock & HDMI app ??

Please don't shout at me if this is a dumb question but now I'm successfully running CM7 on my Atrix, i'm soooooo happy but on the stock ROM that was installed it had a neat app that as soon as I plugged the HDMI cable into the phone it automatically displayed a really nice media control interface for me to control what I wanted to view on the TV..

Is there anything like that for CM7, if not I'd be really interested to know how others are getting around this ???? Also does CM7 work in a webdock ?

issues with text puls

i installed CM7 a few days ago. i have been using it for two days. i was texting my frind who uses text plus on her ipod. i went out for a run(did not take my phone) and when i returned i was not able to recieve her texts. i thought maybe it was text plus but i put it on my extra phone (andriod) and i was not able to send myself texts despite being able to send them to my brothers phone. same with her ipod. she could send them to anyone else but i would not get them. what might have caused this? it went on for over a day. i could not get her texts up untill i dopped the phone a day later. i ended up sending it in to get it replaced. i can still get texts from other phones.

Been trying the iPlayer app but it's not working properly. Have tried googling etc but I can't find any mention of the same problems so I dunno if it's phone specific or what.

When I start a video, the little channel jingle plays fine, but once the actual programme starts, the video is all scrambled. Audio is fine throughout. If I exit fullscreen the video then looks fine and I can reenter fs, but if I do, the controls at the bottom stay visible forever. If I seek, the video becomes scrambled again.

Anyone experienced similar?

Interesting development. I have a default ring tone set and a ringtone set for my wife's call. For some reason, a song that isn't in the ringtone storage area plays periodically as the ringtone.

CM7, zedge ringtones, music player is PlayerPro and the first listed song in that player is the song that periodically sounds as the ringtone. All music is placed in a folder on the /emmc mount. Zedge and system ringtones are on SDCard.

Can't find any settings that would trigger this. Short of unistalling PlayerPro, any thoughts or ideas that I might be overlooking? Even the obvious may be helpful.

I understand that CWM will definitely see the zip IF it is in the correct folder. When you were drag/dropping from pc what folder did you drop it in. I think it can go in the root and download folders of either the internal or external sdcard.

There are install options for both locations on the first and second recovery screens.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyronJ906:
Had a question that I didn't want to ask in the development thread. I (like many I am sure) am slightly confused about the whole CM7 process and our current status. We were merged into the official CM source and thus will get nightlies soon

I was under the impression of three things: Only OFFICIAL Cyanogen devices got nightlies.

To become official, stock functionality must remain in tact. In our case particularly Webtop and Fingerprint scanner

It is likely that we will never get Webtop because it would have to be built from scratch and even the official Webtop was a messy hackjob on stock.

Does working HDMI mirroring count as a Webtop alternative or are we just getting an exception because realistically, rebuilding Webtop would be too much to ask of the team since they don't actually get paid for this and that could take quite some time.

Or am I dumb and neither a merge to CM nor having nightlies means that we are an official device?

I did try Googling for a bit of info. From what I saw, when a device merges with CM source it becomes official. Any explanation is greatly appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
i guess it's just accepted that Webtop won't be included in CM7, and since Fingerprint scanner is a much more common hardware function (most Atrix users don't even use webtop regularly, i'm guessing. that's just my guess though, not an actual assessment of data)

either way though, once we merge into the official CM source, we will be a supported device. i believe Turl will be our device handler? (just a guess)

now, i may have no clue what i'm talking about, BUT this is my take on the situation. if i am wrong in any way, feel free to correct me!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyronJ906:
That's about what I thought as well. I know that I personally don't ever use Webtop (haha mainly because I have been on CM7 which doesn't have it!) But I did get addicted to fingerprint during my time on Darkside yesterday. So much so that I almost couldn't remember how to unlock my phone without it! (exaggeration, but really I do like the scanner...when it works.)

So I was also correct in that merging into CM source *is* what signifies an official supported device. Well that's pretty awesome. Definitely gave my Atrix even more longevity

Battery stops charging to 100%

I flashed CM7 on my Atrix a few weeks ago. flawless install, everything ran great. I was getting awesome battery life too... Then, randomly, the battery stopped charging to 100% (at least the read-out stopped showing 100%). It will now only charge to 94-96%. Its weird, one day itll charge up to 94, then the next up to 96, but never to 100.

Ive wiped battery stats in CWM, and calibrated my battery, but to no avail. Any advice? Also, my battery life doesnt seem to be as good as it was initially. not sure if its a calibration thing or not though... but im losing a lot more on idle than i did initially. Im lucky if i get over 12 hours (screen time usually under 3 hours). obviously its not terrible battery life, but it seems like others in the CM7 threads experience much much better.

Removing ADW Launcher

I installed GO Launcher and associated apps after reading that it was faster and used less battery. My battery life actually got worse which I attributed to the continued presence of ADW. I tried to uninstall ADW but failed as I suppose it is locked into the CM7 rom.

So I opened Titanium Backup and found that long pressing on the ADW Launcher entry gave an option to Convert To User App. Once I did this I was able to unistall it.

So is this the correct way to remove a system app (or a rom included app)? I had read elsewhere about opening image files etc but this seemed pretty simple to do.

GolfCranK: How did you come to the conclusion that the embedded ADW was causing battery drains ? I presume you are talking screen on time and not standby.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfCranK:
Very unscientifically. lol. I only noticed shorter battery life after installing all the GO products so I assumed ADW was running in the background as well. I wasn't intending to return to it so I removed it to at least take it out of the equation.

No doubt that I was also playing with the Atrix a whole lot more while setting up and testing the GO suite so of course battery life would shrink.

One more question: As you can swap app. with TiBu to make them either system or user apps, is there any benefit in making an app a system app?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
as far as i know, a system app just means it can't be moved to the SD card and it can't be uninstalled.

if you want to make sure there's no way someone can uninstall an app from your phone, you can make it a system app.

also, i'm not a big fan of Titanium Backup (only because i don't have the pro version :( ) so i use Rom Toolbox to do my uninstalling of system apps. it can also back up all your apps at once! it just doesn't do individual apps, so when i have to do that i use TiBu :(

Another webtop question

Since the /osh directory goes untouched in CyanogenMod what would be needed to use the original webtop under CM? Is it just a matter of reusing whatever startup scripts that came with the stock ROM or is there something more to it? Is there any documentation on how it even works that could be used to build an updated/customized version? I've seen the source posted on sourceforge (listed as a separate project called "Webtop") and started thinking about trying to replicate what they did using their source, but there are quite a few packages to deal with. nVidia has Tegra drivers (modules only :( and a Natty rootfs archive, but I haven't been able to get any kind of desktop working yet, but I can at least install packages with the following fix found on a blog titled "Programming rambling" (sorry I can't post links yet)

Faux123 has been quite busy too, but has mentioned an issue with the OC kernel in keeping both CPU's in lock-step with each other. This is due to the unique dynamic voltage and frequency scaling of the CPU. No recent tweets about it but I can imagine this to be a very difficult bug.

For those trying this remember that your mount points in CyanogenMod will be different than stock. Internal SD card is mounted as /mnt/emcc and the external SD card is mounted at /mnt/sdcard .

While currently it is still in the experimental stage, I can see where this approach might cause issues when connecting the usb cable to a computer. Wouldn't it be better to split the internal SD card into 2 partitions, and mounting one as /osh and the other as the internal sdcard? This way the /osh partition won't get unmounted when the usb cable is connected, and maybe the lapdock too, depending on how USB mounting is handled.
