Hmmm.... Ok. So you're saying to just go with CM9 Alpha 2 and not worry about it? One thing I haven't nailed down is whether these people with problems are flashing from the nightlies. Have you determined this? My point to them was sorta "there are lots of people who say CM9 is a vast improvement over CM7, yet you guys are having nothing but trouble?" That is curious to me.

I read the thread for the stable release, and it said that I don't need to connect to my PC to do it. I put the ROM and the GAPPS on my card and planned on flashing it through recovery, doing a data wipe, etc. I'm totally backed up and ready to go. I was just hesitant about the reboot issue.

But if all goes well, I'll have an iPad 3 64gig tomorrow morning. So, that will allow me plenty of time to sort out the TP if it goes into reboot hell!

Btw... sorry if I've offended the Android fanboys by buying an iPad... but I'm a fan of BOTH, and the iPad fills a need that Android just can't. I'm a musician. Which is why I'm a Mac user too. However, I do love Android no question.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockula:
I have a question, When I launch the ROM Manager app and run "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it tells me that I don't have a recovery available. What does this imply? I'm rooted running CM7 am I not?

I have backed up my apps w/ TB and I have three different full Nandriod backups that I have done by booting into recovery. Granted, I need only keep the most current one. But what is this app trying to tell me?

On my phone, once it was rooted, running "Flash CWM Recovery" would say what it needed to say. So, why not on the TP?

I'm going to ahead with flashing CM9, but I just wanted to make sure that I haven't missed something.

Thanks!

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PM_mobile:
Reading your last post raised a concern to me..

Can you only get into recovery by using "Reboot into recovery" from CM7 power button? ie: make sure you can get into recovery from the powered off state

(not much use having a recovery if you need to fully boot into the ROM for it to work..)

Other than that, no big deal regarding ROM Manager.. if you DO have the possibility to get into recovery then disregard the message from ROM Manager (maybe your current recovery wasn't installed from ROM Manager?)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockula:
I got into Recovery by rebooting to it from a powered off state. I just couldn't get to from the Rom Manager.

I'm running CM9 now and it's running VERY well.

The only snag I had was that it installed almost all of my app's in the Market, most of which were for my phone, not this tablet. So, I uninstalled half of them. The only main thing that I want to do is restore the data (i.e. high scores, completed levels from games like Angry Birds, etc). All of my emails are IMAP, so I"m not worried about that. But Bookmarks would be nice, etc.

I'm just not totally clear how to do it if I have redownloaded the app from the market.

Doing it recently on my phone with another ROM made a bit of a mess of my calendar app. I selectively went into Titanium Backup and restored the app and it's data from the backup. Is that pretty much it? It didn't work on that particular ROM for some reason (I'm getting to the bottom of this as we speak), but it could have been a fluke.

thanks!

Jason
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PM_mobile:
Just restore "data" for your angry birds app from Titanium Backup. (Should be an option to restore data, app or app+data)

Also it's possible some data might not be entirely "restorable"

CM9 calendar app probably isn't the same as CM7, so maybe you can't restore it. (ie: can't restore an app's data to another)

Although.. your appointments and events should be synced with your Gmail account.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockula:
Up and running just fine! I haven't imported my app data yet, but will.

So, it's not a big deal if I have already installed apps from the Play store when importing data from the old app right?

I'm 100% sure that everything was up to date when I did a TB backup but there could have been an app update since the backup was made. I doubt it matters. I'll give it a shot.

CM9 I'd so much nicer than CM7 on this HP Touchpad. I haven't gotten into it deep enough to know what all works and doesn't work for me. But the look and feel is much nicer, and the system seems to run much more smooth.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwonlineuk:
No it's not. In fact, it's the right way to do it, since ICS and tablet versions of apps differ from Gingerbread and phone versions. The data shouldn't be a problem, but be prepared for some apps not to work without a fresh start.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockula:
Ok great! So, maybe since I didn't really have a lot of app's installed on my Tablet, I should just install the ones I know I want to keep, and just restore the data for the the ones where it matters (games w/ scores, progress, etc).

Thanks!

Jason
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Yes, try that first. As suggested above, if you download the app first from ICS, it should load the ICS version of that app (if there is one). Then restore the data. This "might" not work for some apps though. If it doesn't, just completely uninstall the app, and restore both the app and data from Titanium.

Hey Guys,

I'm a long time blackberry user and I've gone through at least a half dozen over the years.

I'm currently using the Blackberry Bold 9900, which I suppose is the current flagship model.

I bought the Playbook tablet long ago, unfortunately even after the '2.0 update' it's basically a paperweight and almost useless. In my frustration I bought a kindle fire, and was very impressed. There's a very active dev community, and in no time I had it rooted and was testing out different mods and kernels. Lots of fun.

This got me thinking about getting a more competent android device, the fire is good but I'd be interested to see what a serious device could do. I've been waiting forever to get a tablet with a decent digitizer/stylus and was immediately interested by the Galaxy Note (and later the Galaxy Note 10.1).

I've been seriously considering getting the Galaxy Note as a second phone and giving it a go. However, I still don't understand why I would want or need such a large and powerful device.

Typing on a touchscreen is pretty terrible. Yeah everyone says you get used to it, but I could bang out 50wpm in the dark with my hands behind my back on my blackberry.

I had the iPhone 3GS and I hated it so much I threw it out of the window on the highway. What a nightmare.

Secondly, I only ever use my bb to: email, bbm, twitter, and occasionally make calls.

So I suppose my question is.. Other than the fun that is hacking up the phone/tablet and customizing it. What's the point? Why does one need a device like this? What do you do with it to justify having it? What apps do you need/use on a daily basis that need two cores and a HD screen?

As a consumer, I want one. But as a rational person I don't know what I would use it for. I only use my kindle fire to play crappy time killer games on the treadmill. What's the point?

Thanks for your time.

Android has the ability to customize everything to such an extent that basic, you made the phone. That's what everyone loves about it. You can the look, feel, and functionality all to your liking.

Also, you have the option of the three main android version which are: Stock (can be seen on the galaxy nexus) HTC Sense (can be seen on all HTC phones) and MIUI (a custom rom that extends the customization ability even further with has themes for EVERY aspect e.x. The dialer, messaging app, notification bar, lock screen, etc)

You should go your local bestbuy and play with the phones. Android is a great experience.

In reference to your apps that you like, there are many email and twitter apps, all with different levels of functionality, and being that you're social, you'll enjoy widgets that allow you to send a tweet quickly, right from your home screen. When you finally leave BBM, you'll realize that it's not so important. There is an app called Talk, it's just like BBM, only for android. Texting is also just as good.

I hope I helped in your decision and enlightened your image of Android.

Good luck!

I asked myself these very same questions before purchasing a true smartphone, and sadly it turns out to be a life eater. You can do almost anything on the phone. I use mine mainly for music, news reading, and playing games. But everyone always finds different things useful in their phone. I can almost guarantee you won't regret getting the Note. That is if you can deal with that massively beautiful screen. :)

It all depends on what you do. If you want to be able to play high end games, be able to have the latest software for a good while and be able to keep up with the rest for another year then you should get the note. If none of the above matter then any simple android device should do.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixftsix:
Running 2.3.4 version 4.5.91 ATT/US SBF I believe, stock kernel, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and have Tenfar's CWM recovery.

I accidentally accepted the download for update to v4.5.141 (after hitting "Later" 1000 times), but had wifi turned off at the time and the download never started... now I can't turn back on wifi because the download will automatically start (triangle! with "Enable Wi-Fi to start download update" in notifications), and I don't want to brick the device if it runs and I can't cancel the install.

What can I do to cancel the OTA download and/or install and avoid bricking the device?

Any help is appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
Hmm. I know it's possible to "freeze" the update notification (that is, either use the pro version of titanium backup, or put .bak after the appropriate system app). A few other threads have detailed how to do this.

You just accidentally downloaded it, right? It shouldn't install automatically; it would pop up another "install" vs. "later" prompt once the download finishes. I know there's another post around here (stickied?) that details how to back up your OTA update. You could probably use that thread to find your downloaded file & delete it.

Alternately, since you're unlocked you could always install another rom and skip the OTA process entirely. For example, Nottachtrix is based on the 4.5.141 build and comes with a stock Gingerbread theme if you want.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixftsix:
Thanks, I did see those threads you mentioned.

Before my mistake, I had already tried renaming /system/app/Upgrader.apk to .bak with root explorer, and rebooting to stop the download update popup... it didn't work, and kept prompting me, which I eventually accidentally accepted instead of hitting "Later".

I don't have the Pro version of TiBU Pro; I was thinking of upgrading it to freeze Upgrader when I was trying to stop the download update prompts, but as I mentioned I accepted the download before I could do that.

I was also considering flashing Nottachtrix since that seemed to be the only safe way I saw to update to 4.5.141 with the unlocked bootloader. can I safely flash that now, even though the update is pending?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
I'll be honest and say I don't know with certainty. BUT -- I don't see why you couldn't download Nottachtrix on your computer, drop it onto your phone's SD card, and flash it from there (without ever turning your phone's wifi back on). Your phone is booted & not in the middle of an active install. It's just waiting to download a file which would requires your input to begin installing anyway.

If you're really concerned about it, you could do the Seriously Complete Wipe before flashing the new rom by using the following method (thanks CaelanT):

One more note: it looks like Tenfar's recovery is considered "old" round these parts, and most roms don't play well unless you flash them using romracer's CWM recovery. So that should probably be your first step. It's here.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixftsix:
thanks for the recommendations. I guess I will uninstall Tenfar's recovery, install romracer's recovery, do the Seriously Complete Wipe, and then flash Nottachrix. Let me know if any of that sounds wrong.

Will I lose my apps or my titanium backup of apps & system data by doing the Seriously Complete Wipe? If so what do I need to do to be able to restore my apps and system data after the wipe & flash?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
Hey, no problem at all. (by the way, you don't need to uninstall your current recovery, just flash the new one per the instructions.)

Oh yeah, a second note: you'll need to rename two particular files before flashing the new recovery. From another stickied thread:

Okay, on to apps & data. Yes, you're going to lose all your data in the wipes, but the backups you made will be intact. TiBu is fine for your apps; I use "MyBackup Root" (free on the market) for my contacts, SMS, MMS, etc. After flashing the new rom, you'll have the market pre-installed. Use it to re-download TiBu, restore your backed-up apps (NOT EVER system data. Just apps+their data.), then restore the rest from there.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixftsix:
I did everything, and it worked well. thanks for confirming it was safe and the extra tips!

I had already uninstalled Tenfar's recovery by the time I saw your response. I thought it may conflict, didn't know.

I didn't have to rename those 2 files to be able to boot into CWM recovery... the files weren't present before or after installing CWM recovery and it worked.

Thanks again for the tips on the seriously complete wipe and the MyBackup Root, they worked well.

Almost everything was restored after flashing the ROM except for a few minor settings. I somehow have a ton of contacts because I have all my Google contacts, my Blur contacts (a lot of dupes of Google ones), and a lot of extra old gmail e-mail contacts that I wish it didn't populate. Nothing to complain about because I would rather there be extra unnecessary contacts than missing ones.

The only issues I have is that the ROM shows the 3G img at all times... so I have to do some speed tests and troubleshooting to see if I am stuck in 3G or if it is just the known bug in the ROM where 3G is always displayed.

I have N_01.77.30P radio and I saw some people are running 36 or 37, and some people on AT&T installed an additional APN that improved performance.

If anyone has any input on the 3G, radio, or APN issues, please let me know.

atrix issues

Hello members,

i am new to android and learning to understand the jargon of experts here. Reason for joining xda is following:

I (from India) have a motorola atrix 4g that i purchased from a friend in US (it was on AT&T.)

1) when I start my phone -is says on top unlocked. Does it means it is unlocked / unrooted? and I cannot install the OTA updates from Motorola like ICS 4 coming in Q3?

2) I clicked on system update and downloaded the update over wifi. When it started the install it got failed with a triangle and ! mark. I had to remove the battery and start the phone after which it kept on rebooting :confused: . Saw in some forum that i had to do a factory reset and after doing that it worked but I lost everything. I had to reinstall all the apps. Is there a way to reinstall the latest OTA updates from Motorola with doing / playing much with ROM? if not then please let me know a simple and safe way.

3) After doing factory reset i accidentally clicked on system update and now the update is downloaded over wifi but i did not install by selecting "install later" . However the popup keeps coming up and i want to disable it. kindly advise how this notification can be stopped.

Thanks in advance
