[Atrix 4G Android Development] unboostedzc:
getting ready to flash this off of a buddy's atrix this afternoon. someone else flashed v1 hybrid on it for him without really knowing the in/outs of the issues (no webtop, fingerprint, etc).

is there anything special needed going from this to CM9 or another rom for instance? he's currently unlocked and able to flash in CWR. i was planning on getting him on CM9 for now or at a last resort putting him back on a stock ROM so he'll be happy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cmoG530:
No, just make sure that he is using a good recovery like cwm touch recovery and make sure to always full wipe (twice always does it for me). If you use titanium backup, make sure to not restore any system settings, for dangerous (for lack of a better word) things will happen if you do.

Just FYI, Dorian has released a new version of RedPill-CM7 (dated 9-1-2012). It's based on the most current CM7.2 source to date (compiled by Dorian, not hacked from an existing release), and has all of his usual stability and reliability tweaks. The default CM7 font has also been replaced with something that's not ugly (this includes the desk clock). :D Note that this release no longer includes ICS-style UI elements, but you can still get that with one of the many ICS themes in the Play Store.

Go here for all the details, or you can download it here (and get the Google Apps package here). Enjoy!

Having some incompatible problems with apps from the play store with the latest version
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SoupySauce:
YES. I love this rom. It was the first rom I flashed on my phone.

TO the above; what apps are you having problems with? I haven't had any problems so far whatsoever with this rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DroidRunner:
Instagram. Got it from another "source".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SoupySauce:
Lol. I'm sure you tried clearing cache/data for the app already. Maybe try a fix permissions? I was actually just on instagram but I installed it from the play store.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] android-DEP:
andrew, i think you tried my last update to androbreadcrumbs right? If so, and you still have it downloaded, just crack open the zip file, go into Customize, Third, instagram, system, app, and copy that instagram.apk file over to your phone and run it.

I have this same type of problem with iHeartradio when I back it up. After I use the app and log into it then back it up, if I flash another rom then try to restore that saved copy of iHeartradio app without restoring any data with it, it gives me Forcle Close errors. I always end up having to redownload a fresh copy from the store everytime.

Trick is, once you download the app, without even opening it, back it up first to be able to restore that fresh copy later one if you get errors on a fresh rom.

So in my rom's folders, there's a fresh copy of Instagram and other apps you can use especially between CM7 based roms, the apps should work across the board.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] android-DEP:
just out of curiosity, what's the highlights of this rom? i really dont see anything different than a compiled rom from sources with the boot animation changed, everything else is exactly as it was originally written back in 2008 initially. I don't understand what is offered in this build that's any different than every other cm7 base rom available.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/mo...m-dorians-redpill-cm7-now-based-cm-7-2-a.html
[Atrix 4G Android Development] android-DEP:
i read that post over at the atrix forum but found it to be entirely meaningless in explaining anything more than just hyping up the rom.

I tried Dorian's previous builds of the red pill hybrids and I do recall having a good experience running his other build based on cm7. But this version seems to be 98% stock cm7 with a nice boot animation. Everything else is the default CM, unless I'm blind, I couldn't find anything else that was touched or modified or altered.

The post on the other forum mentioned Dorian's trademark tweaks but doesn't mention any details about any of them. Besides that, the person who wrote that post is just a user and enthusiast of the rom itself, nothing from Dorian himself or any breakdowns of the rom's features. So i'm just puzzled about this release, I'm curious if Dorian did in fact do something that doesn't have an interface and maybe added some other mods to the cm framework, hopefully someone can find more details on this build, i'd love to read up more about these redpill hybrid rare builds that float around online
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kkuuo:
Yes I think so.

What's difference of this rom and CM7?

Oh, I also think it's just a boot animation

no theme, and no feel difference by cm7.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MJPollard:
I sent Dorian a PM asking for more details. When I have 'em, you'll have' em. :) But I can say this: he's done ROMs for quite a few devices, and I highly doubt he'd do nothing but simply replace the boot loader and slap his name on it...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
What is the point of creating a ROM and simply replacing bootloader.zip?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kkuuo:
then, what is Dorian's trademark tweak?

I couldnt find any specials...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MJPollard:
He doesn't have a "trademark" tweak, as far as I'm aware. His thing is overall stability and reliability, not flash and gimmicks. It doesn't make for a "sexy" ROM; if that's what one is looking for, one is in the wrong spot. :)

(I do know a few visible changes off the bat. He replaced the ugly default font with something more pleasant (Segoe UI Light, I think),and he removed the useless Androidian and Cyanbread themes.)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Really?? Wow - can anybody confirm?

Regarding the actual ROM though, I agree with MJPollard. Dorian is a very experienced developer who also helped me out during the early days of Neutrino ROM. As I am basically a ROM cook and Dorian is a proper developer, I can assume that Dorian's tweaks are more 'background' tweaks rather than 'apparent' features. This means that you could expect Dorian's ROM to be more stable than CM7 as that is where Dorian's priority lies. As CM7 is pretty stable already, the background tweaks Dorian has added may not be apparent straight away, but will be after using the ROM for a long time.

That's just my 2 cents though - I haven't tried his new build yet but his previous one was really smooth.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] =JKT=:
My favourite 2 roms on desire z were a CM7 rom and a sense rom. Both had no ui or settings alterations. They just cleaned up the code and made device-specific optimizations. Nothing flashy. But when you realize you've been on the same rom for 3 months without a second thought (when you are a flashaholic at heart!), you know it has been done right.

Sometimes the change log looks like this:

Cleaned up some code.

Updated libs.

Optimized.

Because there is nothing to prove.

Not saying that IS the case. I'm just saying try it. If it is stable and fast with good battery life, it is a good rom.

And also, isn't the boot animation different from bootloader? Just saying...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
It is.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kkuuo:
I understanded it. thanx.

I couldnt use CM7 because of wifi error,

but It works...

so fantastic!

tweak and MODs are not all.

thanx Pollard. really thanx alot.:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] android-DEP:
Just in case anybody else was interested to hear from Dorian about this version

http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/motorola-atrix-roms/3282-rom-redpill-beta-v3-7-23-a.html

That's Dorian's original post with this update and changelog all up there. He explains tweaking the framework and doing some internal modding so it just confirms that his work was done to the background things taking place in OS which don't always necessarily have any UI as most system processes do not to provide any interface. Then this also confirms that stability of the rom should be better than standard as well as expected by any of Dorian's releases.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kkuuo:
Wow I didnt tink of that.

Nice! then it can be fantastic to

applying other tweaks!:p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] amwbt:
Is there a mirror to download this? Dorian's site is down and I've google like crazy. Cannot find a working downloadable link anywhere.

Check out this post for the download link to the latest version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] matt314159:
Speaking only for myself, I am glad you did, I didn't know it existed, flashed it just now, and am loving it so far!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
He probably won't be because his earlier roms were linked here, anyone have screen shots of this rom?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LifelessRaptor:
If anyone that's tried it could answer this: What exactly makes it a hybrid ROM? I would assume that it uses the base build of CM7 with the blur apps still somewhat intact so that you could utilize Motorola widgets and apps?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Yeah, you flash the rom then you boot it up and look at your screen ooohh theres your screen shot. then you scroll through the screens and you have multiple screenshots. lol :D No seriously I didnt see any but there may be in the original thread about this.Theres a bunch of posts on there 1000's!! But one thing I will tell you is its actually not red!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IUH1991:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Nope no blur whatsoever in the cm7 hybrid.:D If there were blur then it wouldn't be CM7 period!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MJPollard:
Honestly, no one is really sure. :D But I can tell you that there's absolutely no Blur in there whatsoever: it's strictly CM7, complete with the need to download the Google apps package separately. Where the "hybrid" part comes in is something we'll have to wait and find out when Dorian finally releases a changelog and details about the new ROM. Again, I expect a lot of it is interface tweaks and other subtle changes that conform to his own personal desires. One thing that is different is that its default system theme uses Ice Cream Sandwich theme elements instead of the stock CM7 ones, something that he's still tweaking and refining (he'll be releasing CWM patches to add these further refinements to the RC release, refinements that'll likely make their way into the "final" V1 release).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LifelessRaptor:
That's actually kinda disappointing. I was hoping there would be some of the Blur framework still in place leaving it open to use the HDMI mirroring that only works on Blur roms. Also, Social Networking on Blur is awesome. Thanks for clearing that up. Still gonna try this out tomorrow just wanted a little info on it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SirFork:
Not sure how this is a hybrid rom, it seems to be pure CM7 and not sure of what tweaks or additions dorian has added to it. Keep in mind this is a release candidate based off a cm7 beta, unless he has completely built CM7 from a different repo than what the atrix dev team is using.

Just tried RedPill Hybrid RC [linked in first post] on top of Bat2F and somehow my google account is gone and there's no way to add it. Here's what I did

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe Dalvik

Wipe Battery Stats

Install the ROM from sd-card

Wipe Dalvik

Wipe Battery Stats

Reboot

I repeated the above procedure twice with the same results. When I go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Add Account the only two options for me are hotmail and Corporate. Opening Gmail FCs it, Opening android market asks me to add account but pressing add account button FCs that too. Anyone else experienced this problem with RedPill Hybrid?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rponticelli:
You need to wipe cache/dalvik then re-flash gapps.

Yes, you have to flash the gapps.zip which is found here http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

[Atrix 4G Android Development] bzmotoninja83:
no it does not. it is a CM7 rom. fingerprint scanner is a motorola thing. not commercially used on all android devices. Dont want to sound like an ass but did you even read ony of the posts earlier in the thread?

:eek:

ok now, i am going to download this so i can get my "screenshots"....lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dulexetina:
Perhaps we can extract fingerprint apk from weekly or nightly builds?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MJPollard:
Unfortunately no, because RedPill Hybrid is based on CM7 and CM7 does not yet have it working (it's in some of the nightly/weekly builds, but Dorian isn't going to add it until it's stable). Same for webtop, FYI, because webtop relies on Moto's Blur crap and CM7 doesn't include Blur. (Again, the CM7 team is working on a replacement webtop, but it's not a high priority.) If you need the fingerprint sensor, you'll have to either stick with stock Gingerbread or use one of the Blur-based ROMs like Dark Side, Aura, or Alien, at least until CM7 and RedPill Hybrid make it available. Personally, I'd be more than satisfied with working landscape HDMI mirroring. :)

---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

I guess you could try it, but Dorian has already stated that he's not going to incorporate it into RedPill Hybrid until the CM7 team has gotten it to work safely and reliably. That's pretty much the only thing holding it up, so it's not a matter of if, but when.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
I know about the old Dorian Redpill. Had it on my phone for a wee bit. Wanted to see the thread containing the new CM7 version. I see there are no screenshots of CM7 version so I can only assume it has the same appearance as the original.

Cheers. What Dorian should have done was change the thread title or changelog to reflect a CM7 version instead of it being stuck 167 pages into a thread.

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

I have nothing better to do today, so when my depleted battery is charged again I will try this..........unless someone beats me to it! :)

<edit> Fingerprint.apk doesn't do anything.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Obartuckc:
I must admit...I'm digging this ROM! Thanks Dorian and OP for sharing the link!

Also, to fix the APN issue just get APN Manager from the Market and add the AT&T defaults.

He's just taking his time. One of the reasons for him not coming onto xda with it is so he doesn't get harrassed for not doing things the proper xda way. He's going yo make a whole new thread for his new redpill when he gets a chance.

Just fyi. Also he compiled the cm7 himself and added his own tweaks to the stable parts of cm7 for atrix. He dies mot work off of weekly or nightlies because he likes to have a very stable and working my rom.

You can but sense fingerprint lockscreen is not an application it wouldn't help you :p

Any rom that was not built from a Motorola (aka blur based) Build is not going to have FP unless they build off of one of our builds , and or kang the code and binaries from our work and build from there.

Here is the link to the post on the Atrixforums.com where you can get the CM7/RedPill Hybrid RC

I've been using this ROM since he released the private beta some time ago... Best ROM I've ever ran on my Atrix. This Version is ICS themed, other than that, it feels like CM7, only more stable, smoother, with ICS animations.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nikidorian:
Can someone post some screenshots? And how exactly is this better than CM7?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
It just has an ics theme. Otherwise looks like cm7. If you looked carefully there are screenshots in his post....it has ics animations and also has tweaks that make it smoother. However it is more based on files from the stable and not nightly or weeklies.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mandroid717:
yes ICS theme is pre installed with the rom. i have used both roms and in my opinion redpill is a bit smoother. don't get me wrong they are both great roms. redpill is built on of CM7 with a few tweaks. also my benches are a tad better.

cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] johansson:
Wtf?

CM7=Gingerbread

CM9= ICS

Since it's based on CM7, it's GINGERBREAD and not ICS -___-

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Keep it respectful guys. N00bs will be n00bs. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MJPollard:
You are correct, sir. It's CM7 with ICS theme elements and some behind-the-scenes tweaking for smoothness.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xfinrodx:
And it really is surprisingly smooth. Feels ios smooth in most areas. I mean, blur was pretty smooth. Cm7 is butter by comparison. Redpill is comparatively motor oil. Really nice feel overall. I've been using it since yesterday afternoon and I really like what I see. The interface font is a nice touch too!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Font is the beautiful Zegoe Semi Light

Boot Loop

I flashed this on top of weekly #3 and ran into a boot loop , should i wipe data first before flashing ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MJPollard:
I would, at the very least. Even though RedPill Hybrid is based on CM7, there might be enough differences to cause hiccups if you try to overwrite one with another. That's why I, unless specifically told otherwise, always back up my apps with Titanium, followed by a CWM backup, before doing a full wipe and flash of any new ROM. I've found it's just safer that way.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MarcoPolo78:
Will do sir , Appreciate it :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] loveact:
i also flash it on top of weekly #3 and it works :)

i wipe cache and dalvik cache first. flash the rom. wipe the cache and dalvik cache again and then flash gapps..

but of course,i backup with CWM and TB first :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ripin150:
So wait, what exactly is this a hybrid of? Redpill and CM7? Any chance Redpill has webtop or fingerprint scanner that might have made it into this?

You want to use the CM7 kernel, as the Hybrid is basically CM7 with some tweaks and interface improvements. Once Dorian finally gets around to posting a changelog (after his injured wrist heals up to the point where he's once again able to type decently), we'll all know exactly what the deal is. :D

I flashed this rom last night and no problems here.

Im an orange uk user, i didnt flash a different kernel over the top either, did this:

- Wiped dalvik cache

- Flashed rom

- Flashed GAPPS

- Reboot

And no problems at all. Seems stable enough.
