Guys i know some people here are already using android for a long time(days,weeks,months & years). I am new on android comm. And it took me 14hrs to figure out how can i root my atrix 2. Isn't it great if we can come up with a solid step by step,how to root and unlock bootloader for atrix 2. I know theres a bunch of ways how to do it but let's just consider those new comers. Lets make it easy step by step. What do u think guys?

i know it sounds really like that. i'm just new here. so it would probably take me more than 2 hrs to root everything. i did some research about the terminology and everything coz every terms you guys using freaks my head out. Lol but anyways i ended up doing it right. i am just concerned for those new comers. i appreciate you thoughts man.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
what method did you use to root it?

you should have just downloaded the oneclickroot, unzipped it, plug your phone in, double kick the bat file, let it run and follow the onscreen directions.

takes about 5 minutes and works fine.

14 hours to check debugging, install a usb driver file, and then run one click....

Well I guess if you are a noob then technically it could happen. My wife is a noob and she would never know how to figure it out.

Just think if this process included Android SDK and ABD, then you would be hosed. Always check the Development Tab first because they usually follow up with a youtube video for instructions. If you still have issues then ping us in the general section. Some people like to help while others will flame you, throw rotten tomatoes, point and laugh.

Any who, congrats on the root and welcome to the very disfunctional XDA family!

This site is a hacker enthusiasts one. People expecting excessive hand holding really don't need to be messing with their phones anyway. It sounds rude but it's true. Those of us who have spent the time learning how to root an Android phone and install a kernel or rom have paid our dues. Everyone should.

Moderate Use

Doctorz V8

No voltage changes or clocking aside from what comes with the RoM.

Auto screen brightness.

Main difference is Background Data is off for everything but Market.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joho5:
What do you mean by background data and how do you set that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
Just an observation, but the graph at the top under where it says 1 day 19 hours clearly shows your battery going up 3 times. Which I was just going to pass up but I have a bunch of shots of my battery stats and none of them go up.

[IMG]http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h472/BadFishCM/SC20110821-130202.png[/IMG]

So if I'm not mistaken you plugged in a couple times.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xKrisx:
I seen that as well but I honestly have no idea why. I can assure you it has not been plugged in. I even have a prior screen shot on another battery run that has the same issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:

Battery Management

Hi, all.

I want to pass this tip along to anyone who want or need to conserve their battery for what ever reasons.

I have gone usually 3 day+ on one charge.

I'm running on stock rom. Froyo 2.2.1 :(

It is rooted though :)

I use the phone moderately. Text occasionally.

I downloaded an app called "DataSwitch" by TomatoX.

I use wifi when I'm at home or work.

I have dataswitch activated when I don't need constant background data. ?I turn it on when I need to use it for surfing and such.

In Settings, there is also a toggle for background on/off, although I don't use this much.

With the data off, you can still get phone call and text msg.

I usually turn off data and wifi at bedtime.

On the third day, I'm usually down to 35%.

This may also be useful if you are low and can't get to a charge right away.

It may not apply to everybody, but it works for me..esp with only a 200mb data plan. Battery life is great!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
lol look at that cell standby use your phone lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Good one. But next time on, it would be more useful if you post the screenshots showing call duration and display time. With just this one screenshot it could have display on for just 5 mins or 50 mins. Its hard to tell.

Just now noticed, the tiny green bars in the screenshot (circled in red) come up when the phone is charging.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
I noticed that (at least for my phone) if you connect it to wall charging it would reset the "time on battery" count but if i connected it via usb to pc it was charging, yeah slowly maybe but the timer never reset when connected via usb as if the phone said "well im charging but it doesnt counts since the guy its transfering data"(lmao yeah my phone is smart) so if you wait for 10% battery ans then go usb mode and charge it and use it and repeat i once got displaying 4 days 10 hours on battery haha.

While on my real stats my phone never last more than 18 hours ;/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
+ 1

I got my phone to say 2 days 15 hours once. As long as I don't charge it 100% the time on my battery continues to go up. I can plug it in while it has 10% left charge it till its 90% unplug it, and the time won't reset.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
If anyone mistook my comment, I'm not really interested in claiming any specific record as the op as stated.

I simply meant to share my thoughts on "dataswitch" app and how I had applied it.

I think found it useful to limit data usage and to conserve the battery when I can't get a charge right away.

You'll be surprise how much battery life background data consumes.

The other part tech part of me also recognizes that battery memory exist...it may be best to "widen" your charge range (0% to 100%) when possible.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xKrisx:
Well, I figured out what caused that.. My radio in my truck has a USB port that I plug my phone into to listen to my music. Worked great on my Ipod but it wouldn't charge my Ipod. However today when coming home, I plugged my phone in and it doesnt show to be charging, but when I looked at the Battery Use chart, it deffinately showed an increase.

And here I was thinking I was getting impecable battery life :( lol.

Oh well.. Sorry for the fuss. However, I will keep trying :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
There you go. Mystery solved. Case closed.

I'm not sure how to bring up the charge graph, display time and call time as well...

On stock froyo 2.2.1. Baseband I997UCKH1. Kernel 2.6.32.9

I can try it again in a few days if you can tell me how

I'm also using screenshot from the Market.

I'm new at this so tell me step by step pls.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
ok. I'll try to post a few pics in a few days.

but my point is that by controlling the back ground data with that app, I actually gained a battery saving feature.

try it...let me know if you find similiar results.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
:)

When I was on vacation, I had background data constantly on. But I switched to EDGE there, and got close to 3+ days of standby before battery got to 5, with a couple hours display and calls.

Edit: I was on Infused 1.5.3 (Froyo), and not on GB.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Ok. So here it is. Last night I turned off days and my phone went from 98% to 97%, and turned 96% when I turned on screen for a minute, after a overnight standby from about 12 am until 7 am.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
So..are you a believer then?

:)

It's for real...

I'm gonna test the idea on Victory KK3 release and compare to FROYO.

I see now that on GB, the battery has more info such as charge, breakdown etc..not avail on froyo.

clicking thanks is the simplest way to thank you..:D

edit: btw, on Victory 1.8 KK3 based, is there a way for me to mod the battery percentage as a number to show in the display?

Googler did not have that in his ROM.

I wanted to have gtalk video also. can i pull this from another rom like GSinfuse or Doctorz? thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
I just got a bit over 1 day until 3% with over 5 hours of screen on time (auto brightness; 3 hours of HD video, over an hour of browsing, the rest is gaming and general usage) and over 1 hour of wifi (for the aforementioned browsing). Running Galnet MIUI ICS.

I haven't done a standby rundown, but I left my phone on standby for 6 hours after a full charge and it didn't drop a single percent until I started using it for about 15 minutes.

Battery life

Ok..so here it is. I was running on FROYO 2 wks ago.

I have since then decided to flash a new ROM.

I went with Victory 1.8 - close to stock as possible.

Battery stats on GB have more details than FROYO.

GB also seems to handle battery management better than FROYO.

Light use of phone.

Occasional text and calls. etc

Wifi and Dataswitch off at night while sleeping.

I dont expect everybody with have similar - YMMV.

One charge on stock battery...

12% left.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Dude you have to include the display time! That's where it's at. At 4.5 inches, that's the real killer of your battery. And shows exactly how much you use it. I get about two hours everyday.. you look like you have an hour max.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Hey all,

Just curious to know...those using Amazon's Appstore for Android, is it still working well? Mine started force closing after the most recent update.

The other day it got an update that worked fine, recently it got another and I can no longer go into "My Apps" as it keeps force closing.

I've tried clearing data and clearing cache but it keeps happening. The next step is to uninstall and re-install.

I'm running 100% stock (no root, etc.).

Update:

I got antsy and decided that I would uninstall it. The reason I didn't before writing this is I thought it would remove all the apps I installed using the Amazon appstore.

No more problem. After uninstalling and reinstalling the appstore I haven't gotten a single force close. Peculiar, since I though clearing the cache and data would be synonymous to an uninstall. Anyway, this has fixed it. And just to note, in case anyone else was wondering, uninstalling the Amazon appstore does NOT remove the apps you've installed, it simply locks them from running. Once you put it back, everything is back to normal.
[Acer Iconia A500] HamerPlyr:
Mine is having the same problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I guess I was updating my post while you were posting this.

Clear Data, Clear Cache (just in case) and then uninstall the appstore and reinstall it. That's fixed it for me and all is well now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I've tried searching to little avail.

Does anybody know if there a proper procedure to drain all power from the phone when the battery is pulled? I hold the power button but I don't know if that actually does anything. Also, an alternative that I tried a couple times is "spamming" or repeatedly pressing the power button.

It seems that a SIM card removal is sometimes required if my radio craps out. I like to drain the power in the phone itself because I assume that the radio will "reset" properly.

What I do:

1. Power off phone

2. Remove battery

3. Remove SIM card

4. Hold power button for 20 - 30 seconds to hypothetically drain "flea" or residual power

5. Insert SIM card

6. Insert battery

7. Power on...

Some background on why I have to reset the damn thing all the time...

I have been trying to get better radio performance in my low-signal area- my data speeds will sometimes slow to a crawl, and I will get very poor latencies. I have been experimenting by flashing the various modem files, changing HDR1X and RevA modes in the TSM part hidden menu dialcodes, and trying the different settings in the 3G turbocharger script.

Any insights are appreciated, thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Droidianslip:
All you would accomplish from this is drain the capacitors in the radio power circuit, of which there are few. Any high power caps will have bleed resistors to protect the down stream components from inrush current. The Ep4 radios are about as good as you are going to get right now.

There are four battery connectors, use you VOM to see which ones, if any still have voltage on them after you pull the battery

Here is how I solve the low signal problem in my house.

Sooner or later someone will write a script or an app to make it easy. :)
[Kindle Fire General] vtluu:
Interesting timing. A new version of Swiftkey X was released this morning that changed the input methods path; I've updated the instructions above.

If you updated Swiftkey and found it no longer working, as I did, all you need to do is edit the settings.db file using the procedures described above, and reboot the device, after which you can select Swiftkey X as an input method again.
[Kindle Fire General] scrotty:
Can you unroot after completing this guide and still keep Swiftkey? Or, in other words, can I temporarily root my KF just to install Swiftkey?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] scrotty:
vtluu, why not the tablet version of Swiftkey?
[Kindle Fire General] vtluu:
scrotty, yes you can unroot your KF after--I've done that so I can play Amazon videos--and Swiftkey will keep working just fine.

Why not the tablet version? The mobile phone version just happens to be what I have purchased. I might eventually get the tablet version but I find the phone version works pretty well, and in landscape mode the keyboard isn't too wide for my thumbs and I don't find myself needing a split keyboard.
[Kindle Fire General] scrotty:
Cool. I decided to use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper for now, but it's good to know a full unroot is viable.

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear! :)

Thanks!

[Kindle Fire General] brian112358:
Just figured out the value for Swiftkey X Tablet (v 2.1.0.223):

com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.full/.KeyboardService

Not sure (didn't test yet), but it's probably com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.full/com.touchtype.KeyboardService for the newer version [EDIT: confirmed by scrotty]
[Kindle Fire General] sum182:
Nice work! Swiftkey is my favorite!!
[Kindle Fire General] scrotty:
Confirmed. I just purchased Swiftkey Tablet X v2.2.0.38 through the Marketplace and used the value you hazarded above successfully. Yay! :)
[Kindle Fire General] scrotty:
By the way, with Swiftkey Tablet X, I did not get the number pad in the middle when in landscape mode.

On a hunch, I figured that this was due to the KF's resolution. So I installed the free LCD Resolution app from the Marketplace and set the pixel density from 160 (KF default) to 155. That was sufficient to get the number pad to appear.

WARNING: I tried to set the density to 159 at one point (just to set if I could get it as close to 160 as possible). That value seemed to prevent the KF from restarting (stuck forever at "Kindle Fire")! Thankfully, I had not selected the "apply setting on boot" option in the resolution app and so a simple reboot restored to the default 160 pixel density and the KF started properly. Whew!

If the NT has the same limitation (i.e. no UI to allow alternate keyboard) I would imagine the same procedure could work, yes. That assumes B&N hasn't screwed around with the text input field code to prevent you from selecting between enabled keyboards (via long-press on text intput field).

Only one way to find out... good luck! :D
[Kindle Fire General] CBMC:
Just want to point out there is a nice sqlite app(called sqlite) in the market that allows you to do this right from the kindle without using adb. Just be careful not to mess things up in the settings DB.

[Kindle Fire General] scrotty:
Did you remember to run the chown command again? I think it defaults to root.root instead of system.system.

At this point you'll need to manually modify the initial root script to fix the setting.DB file after the zergrush. You might look at the 'so you've bricked your Kindle...' thread.

Glad to see you grabbed all the keyboards I had added to the other thread. It already looks like a few folks have used the info to get other keyboards going.

You can copy/duplicate & backup the settings.db file, change permissions and change owner & group all with root explorer. For those uncomfortable with the command line. If you use the database editor app from the market you can do this all on the Fire without any command line at all ;)
[Kindle Fire General] sgood1971:
This is exactly what I ended up doing.
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
Found that Swiftkey Tablet X (worse) cannot coexist with Swiftkey X (better). The installation of Tablet X and enabling it removes the other, and removes that version's entry in settings.db. Annoying.
[Kindle Fire General] gus6464:
Ahh swiftkey how I've missed you. Anyone notice that the keyboard is a lot more responsive with SwiftKey?
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
yes, I did, but I found the Tablet version to be worse. plus, the arrow keys are embedded two keyboard versions in.
[Kindle Fire General] CrackMonkey91:
Just thought I would say if you want to use the betas of SwiftKey but ".beta" before the \ and then save it and good to go
