Hello:

This thread is being started to post *unofficial* kangs (roms) based on Atrix-dev-team's work with CM9 and CM7. ghost_og, crnkoj and I decided to collaborate and have one thread where we post our kangs. What's a Kang? The unofficial definition follows :)

KANG: unofficial build: as in - you are (mostly) on your own. Please do not contact the CM9 or CM7 teams, or the atrix dev team with issues found in these ROMs. Instead, post questions/issues in this thread.

I will be posting CM9 builds regularly [meaning weekly or a little more frequently]. I will usually test builds for 1-2 hrs before posting. crnkoj will be posting CM7 builds.

If you want to build your own kangs, instructions can be found here:

CM9 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1450054

CM7 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442842

Thanks to the Atrix-Dev team and Turl1 for all their hard work porting CM7/9 to the Atrix.

The next post will contain CM9 specific information.

CM9: Why does 2D/camera not work - now that NVidia released the ventana reference libs? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21835368&postcount=27

CM9 ROM and build note:

Hello:

This post will contain location to the latest unofficial CM9 kang built from the atrix-dev-team repositories. As you may know, CM9 is based on Android 4 better known as ICS or ice cream sandwich.

*** I have tested this build for ~10 hrs before posting. For regular use, I switched to CM9 from CM7 and find CM9 pretty stable for everyday use, with some exceptions:

*** Update 02/02/2012 [one date that reads the same all over the world :)] I built an OC/UV enabled kernel for CM9. If interested, get it from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22121125&postcount=152

Known issues:

=========

- Camera doesnt work (yet): WHY not? Nvidia released the tegra libs for ICS - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21835368&postcount=27 [patience, work in progress :)]

- 2D acceleration doesnt work (meaning, occasional glitches in angry bird, and jerky scrolling sometimes)

- Adobe flash - **** If you use dolphin, you might see sites like youtube/vimeo work. That does *not* mean Flash is working: dolphin uses HTML5 versions of those sites. A good test to see if flash works is to use Kongregate and try to play a Flash game.

- Video playback

*** Update: Posted a new Kang today: 02/02/2012 - version 020212. This contains the latest CM9 code from the repo, working FP and screen unlock bug fixes. Release notes here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22101540&postcount=146

You can find the Kang here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hlvw6g

user yann_h has set up a mirror here - it will take a while for the build to be updated, please check version # before downloading: http://yann.huruguen.fr/atrix_kang_cm9.php (Thanks!)

WARNING: If this is your first time flashing CM9 - *remember to wipe/format system, data, and cache* before flashing

WARNING: This is a KANG - while there is no official support available, if you post questions on this thread, I'll try to help as much as possible.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sun3vi1:
They're is already a dedicated cm9 Kang thread, only it's by the devs who are actually doing the port.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
That thread is maintained by the photon-dev team: they develop primarily for the Motorola Photon, and have been kind enough to post a build for Atrix as well. This thread is for unofficial builds from the Atrix-dev team repositories: the folks who are porting ICS for Atrix.

Also - if its by the devs, it cant be a kang :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spiderx_mm:
Good, I was also thinking about asking a dedicated thread for Atrix Dev Team's CM9.

Currently using the 24-1-2012 CM9 rom and one thing bugging me here, FP navigation!!!. how can i turn it off???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
Right now, the setting app havent been enhanced with FP nav code. FP Nav doesnt bother me much: but will try porting the settings app shortly. If I cant get that to work, will make a build w/o FP.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FULLTIMEIT:
Haven't used ATRIX cm9 since XMAS (on photon cm9 port right now), can anyone compare the 2? If not, I will spend sometime 2morrow after work and test it out and give out a compairson
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spiderx_mm:
AFAIK, only 2 main difference. Photon team's CM9 has FP navigation already disabled (which would reduce battery consumption to certain level), and Atrix Team's CM9 has got some of the CM settings already working (U need to flash a CMSetting pack). Now we can adjust screen rotation settings and custom backlight levels (which also helps you to reduce battery consumption a lot). Moreover, I like the black People theme on Atrix team's CM9 compared to white theme of Photon Team's CM9.

USB Tethering is not working yet on this rom but Wifi tethering is already working. (I haven't had a chance to try it on Photon Team's rom)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] maulich:
Where would one obtain the CMSetting pack?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
Lol black people theme?

I'm using the CM7 KANG by crnkoj which can be found here https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0Bx...NTM4NS00NThkLTk3M2ItYjgzYTcwMTNiMDYz&hl=en_US which is basically a nightly up to 24 Jan.

Been using it for almost 24 hours and now issues at all. Very happy with the build, especially the T9 dialer!

Only mentioned 2D is jerky, how about 3D? how about hardware acceleration for the UI?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spiderx_mm:
3D is good. I've tried many 3D games including the latest "Real Racing 2" from EA Games and it work flawlessly. UI is also smooth but full hardware acceleration is not working yet. (I think it will only work after we get the ICS resources for Tegra2 device from Nvidia)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bigle:
camera

Nothing yet for fixing the camera, right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
crnkoj and I are coordinating the kangs: he will continue to release CM7 kangs and I will release the CM9 kangs. The link you posted contains a slightly older build.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
*** Removed
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
3D acceleration works perfectly for me. UI hardware acceleration is based on 2D acceleration: still a bit jerky

Hello everyone. I have a Samsung Omnia 7 phone that it is stuck on Samsung Logo. I can enter Download Mode using the 3 button combination but i cannot flash any Rom because the usb connection seems to randomly disconnect/connect during the flashing. I cannot enter Recovery Mode so i cannot use Zune. Also WP Downloader shows a MIBIB Write Error.

My question is why the Usb connect/disconnect is happening? Any possible solutions? Maybe try to reheat some components?
[Omnia 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
There is a thread where people have had similar problems

here

.

I don't know if

this post

will help either.

You may have to return the handset to Samsung :(

Good luck!
[Omnia 7 General] pswnio:
Thanks for your answer. I already read the above posts but i didn't have any luck with them.

My problem is that even though the wp7 downloader recognizes the phone after some seconds it disconnects and then reconnects (i hear the connect/disconnect sound on windows). So i cant complete the flashing process.

I think that it is hardware related problem but i want to test every possible solution.
[Omnia 7 General] DatDereX1:
My phone used to do that. Tried a different USB cable and never had that problem since.
[Omnia 7 General] pswnio:
Tried that too, I tried 3 different usb cables, on 3 different pc but nothing. Still the same. Any other solutions?
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:

Yahooooooo!It worked!Gfree worked!My Glacier has 0.86.0000 bootloader!Thanks man!By the way,i have just 2 more question .Im gonna install rooted version of official GB.So

1 How I do that?Can I install it like when I upgrade froyo to unrooted gb before?I mean put PD15IMG.zip in the root of sd card>boot to bootloader>update?Is that way?

2.Can I uninstall Visionary now?

Can I intall any custom theme on this s-off froyo?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
1. download the ROM you're going to flash, place it in the ROOT of your SDcard, not in any folders, then download ROM Manager (from market), flash clockworkmod recovery, then reboot into recovery,

DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!

, wipe data, cache, dalvik (under advanced menu), flash your ROM.

2. yes

no, the only theme available is Androidian on the market for "custom theme"...

that's why i don't really like the stock ROM...

but you can try my StockMOD ROM here:

StockMOD ROM v1.4

it includes ADW Launcher (not in the latest, try v1), so theming is easy :D

hope this helps...

Hello boosted from galaxy tab 10.1 forum is Doing a HTC jet stream theme as well as ics theme and the gtabs don't have quick settings so he can't find where an what to look for.

Here is a pic of what my quick setting clear all button looks like all I need is black lettering so its readable!

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
That's not in Honeycomb is it?

The notification dropdown clear all button for GB is in SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml

Look for: android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button"

Somewhere on that line is: android:textColor="#ff000000"
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Yea its honeycomb 3.2 galaxy port from fguy just looks different cuz its themed just need the clear all button and we can move on to other parts is it in the same location you said now that I said its honeycomb 3.2?

Thanks for the help!
[Acer Iconia A500] b00sted:
thought I can pop in here to add to what I am looking for. I cant seem to find that god forsaken png anywhere in the systemUI or framework not sure if I am jsut overlooking it or what. I dont have the tab myself so makes it even harder to try to figure out what is doing what.
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
Yep. I see it there in 3.2 as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Almost a week of searching I hope we gots it!
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
b00sted, the png is there too, in SystemUI.

The entry looks like this:

<TextView android:textSize="14.0sp" android:textColor="#ff000000" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:background="@drawable/btn_default_small" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="1.0dip" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" style="?android:attr/buttonStyle" />

So the text color would be black.

The image would be btn_default_small, and since that's overridden by an xml (drawabe/btn_default_small.xml) it holds the names of the images for it's different states such as btn_default_small_normal.png

The text is in values/strings.xml with the name "status_bar_clear_all_button"
[Acer Iconia A500] b00sted:
thanks bro, god damn thing been giving me a headache for 2 days :P
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
You're not out of the woods yet. :)

I'm thinking that's one of those system-wide colors since I'm seeing white text on my buttons and that's from my ROM. It could be using one of the colors from framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml
[Acer Iconia A500] b00sted:
I am jsut going to color the button black from white and pray for the best bro lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
You could always make it blue or some darker shade or something.

I once changed all the colors in colors.xml to different random things just to see what did what.
[Acer Iconia A500] b00sted:
ya that is a good idea, I will have to do that on my tab, since I am making this theme for him and dont have a a500 I dont want to be that mean to him :P. I only been themeing for a few months so still learning alot.

thanks again for all the help, once you pointed out what I was looking at it stuck out like a sore thumb for me :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
This is how XDA should be about every thing thank you both so much
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
No prob. Good luck with the theming.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tuto3324:
looking in the samsung infuse's super thread i saw some tweaks that could improve the battery life of my device. One is thunderbolt tweak by pikachu01 and the other one is Universal Adrenaline Shotv13 by dsexton702.. Which one has better results in battery life? or if i could use the two tweaks and if it would be okay? i flashed catyrom and infusion kernel about a week ago and already calibrated the battery but i still want to get more battery because it doenst last too much :( any other recommendation to improve this would be all right too :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rkkaranrk:
Try ZEUS ROM, The best battery life i have got on any infused rom so far.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Don't calibrate the battery. It does nothing to your life, I promise. Studachris posted a link to a Google Engineer saying it does nothing but mess stuff up. I'm with the guy above me, Zeus. :D Take the jump.

Oh.. Define: Bad battery life
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
Try NumasX v1.1 ;) Has the same battery life Zeus. Battery life mostly depends on use and user.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Avoid USAS - Some of the changes it makes trade off data integrity for performance (without notifying the user of this fact - probably because the creater doesn't even know what the hell he actually did). So I would avoid it.

In general, most of these comprehensive tweak scripts are bad news - very often the creater throws crap in there that they don't even understand.

v6 Supercharger nearly destroyed a few Tab Plus users' batteries by screwing around with kernel reboot-on-panic settings.

When it comes to tweak scripts - research tweaks, learn what they actually do, THEN apply them individually.

Quite a few of these are also valid for Infuse (but not all) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378080

Zeus was the first rom i tried and i had problems with wifi :( it was constantly disconnected and i didnt found a solution, so i changed the rom haha but i will give it another try later, maybe it was a flashing problem

In my honest opinion. If someone keeps files like ccinfo they have to worry about being jacked then they deserve it. Should it happen. U shouldn't keep things on your phoney don't want the rest if the world to have

[Android General] Raoa:
You don't need to keep credit card info on phone, your using the credit card via Market or logging in to bank on phones browser is enough to intercept your credit card info. Your browser may show you xxxxxxxxxxxx+"last four digits only" but that doesn't mean the data to and from your device doesn't contain exact credit card number. It's encrypted, but that is merely a minor inconvenience for a hacker.
[Android General] zelendel:
That is why being rooted is not advised to everyone. Mainly if they don't know what they are doing. Also customs roms are not for everyone. People flash them cause they think its cool and don't understand what they are doing. That is their problem. People should pay attention to the permissions that am app asks for. Common sense is the best protection. Main reason I don't do anything that deals with a bank on my phone.
[Android General] oohaylima:
There's talk. It's just not on important yet, because the android device is not being marketed like an OS is with a personal computer.

However, the more we do on our phones, the more we'll realize it needs protection like firewalls. We catch a few like CIQ or the Wimax exploit, but it's going to get worse as we advance in our integration. We do need to start now before exploits get worse and stay ahead of the curve.

Until that time, 4G exploits and root kit programs will run freely on our devices that houses a lot of our personal information.

Plus, for some stupid reason, there are a lot of people who think Linux is immuned to viruses and security holes due to it's code transparency. Android is being mainstreamed. It will soon be a continuous target like other existing popular software programs and operating systems.
[Android General] alex2792:
And that's why iOS is far superior even without widgets or live wallpapers.
[Android General] sunlaw2:
Something to think about.thanks for posting.
[Android General] mattfox27:
IOS and Mac are just as vulnerable, maybe even more so because of there popularity and the misconception that IOS is secure and does not need AntiVirus protection. Just last week i removed a nasty virus on a brand new Macbook Pro so that is not the way to think. You need to act as if there are security issues and just be really careful at what link you click and what email you open.
[Android General] alex2792:
I'll give you OS X,but I've never heard of an iPhone virus while there are loads of malware on Android market.
[Android General] Raoa:
I am not an expert on iOS nor do I have any wish to even know or use it, because Apple buys from suppliers that emply child labor and sweatshops.

When Linux started spreading around people also thought it has no viruses.

Same story repeats with every software.

For each different OS it takes merely time before people start to notice that their OS has viruses/trojans/spyware too. That doesn't mean their OS is not targeted. You should expect all sorts of thieves to use any and all opportunities.

Secondly OS does not matter so much as the matter that your device is connected to wifi, data, bluetooth, et or not. IP addresses, MAC, IMEI, etc they all stay the same on every platform. No matter which OS, they all connect to wireless networks, cell network, data, bluetooth, etc which all have set standards.

So someone wanting to track, spy, get your private info simply has to intercept the data your device sends to any network. If you don't use strong encryption to send info via network then it is easy to "wiretap" you.

Why is there so much spam, viruses, spyware in internet today? It's because the software managing internet is not made to be so secure. If it were secure then it would also be more private and safer for people to chat over net.

So not only OS's need to be more secure, but the very internet itself needs to be reformed.

This relates to SOPA and PIPA. Had those two bills been passed the next step would have been logically to make changes to all networks so you'd be more easily trackable, hackable, "wiretappable". It's simply logical, cause SOPA, PIPA were so defunctly worded as if asking/preparing for a third bill to regulate the networks.

So we must make sure that internet will be reformed for the private users and not for greedy corporations. We would not need to buy anti-spyware, anti-virus software if the internet were truly engineered for the welfare of humanity.

You could use any OS, bugged or not and not be afraid of loosing your property or privacy if the internet would stop such acts before they could harm you, the individual who is supposed to truly and freely benefit from the services; either for free or for honest price, but now you are robbed and think it is good to pay the thieves.
[Android General] notriddle:
Please elaborate. The sandbox does prevent one app from reading the data of another, such as the CC info from the Market.

Also, are you sure Market sends the entire CC number? There's no reason for it to send it, the transaction is performed on Google's servers.
[Android General] Oneiricl:
Are you talking about viruses or malware? Please don't conflate the two.

Malware is easy to take care of - check the apps you're downloading for what permissions they want. It's as simple as that.
[Android General] mistermentality:
Just before xmas an iphone developer admitted to deliberately uploading malware in his ios app to show malware can easily affect iphone.

http://m.intomobile.com/2011/11/08/security-expert-sneaks-malware-into-iphone-app-store/

That was for normal iphones. For jailbroken ones there are more malware apps.

[Android General] mattfox27:
Iphones can get viruses they come through SMS's and other sources not as bad as android apple keeps there market much more under control, but everything is vulnerable i work in a security team for a big corp and believe me nothing is safe.

Check these articles out i just found them on google.

I remember a while ago maybe a year or so there was a huge security hole in IOS5 and Mac waited a long time to tell the public and release a patch. The one major problem with Apple is when there are security threats they really try to keep it hush...Iphone's OS is tight but not totally secure. Its not viruses either its moslty just malware that charges you tons of money in texting i saw once an iphone that turned into a bot and at midnight it would dial a 900 number and just sit there all night at like $20 bucks a minunte then disconnect when it felt the phone move.

I'm going to fanboy MIUI for a second.

When you install an app you are presented with a screen (separate from the market) that allows you to toggle all the permissions an app ask for between Allowed/Ask/Disabled.

More roms should adopt this.

NB: I haven't checked CM9 so it might be a CM9 feature that MIUI has polished or it might be native to MIUI.
