Fall if Enosis has got it... and that's partially the reason I made basically twin odexed and deodexed roms.. so users can see the difference, or lack thereof, between the two.

But, yes, with deodexed apks and jars the classes.dex (which is created from the former odex file) gets tucked inside the .apk/.jar - and when you decompile the apk or baksmali the classes.dex, all of the code from the odex is there for editing - there apparently is not a simple way to edit the .odex files directly. That's why it's nice for devs to have a deodexed system to work with.

And that's also why deodexed roms take longer to boot - in a sense, all of the odex files are pre-loaded, and you have to wait a little bit longer on a deodexed system for those files to load.

I was on Lithium 1.2 before I decided to try Romulus instead of updating Lithium and I somehow stuck with it after slapping on Go Launcher EX (which I didn't really give a chance until now (it's friggin awesome tho :))) and I have to say this ROM feels somehow more complete and polished IMHO, not sure why exactly though :p

Performancewise I'd say there is no notable difference...

I guess it's a matter of taste, I personally for example like the stock elements that are still in Romulus...

Oh and

WANTS COOKIE!!! :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Hahaa.. nice. You found it? Yea, honestly I haven't even gone in search of how to correct that yet.. people so hardly come across that pop-down screen (hint)..

I'll get around to fixing that though - but hope it's no trouble for you or anyone in the meantime..

Hmm, altered?

I still have the proximity issue even after altering my build prop back to stock settings?

Any idea why?

And I have checked my prop, it stuck. :)

Thoughts?

If anyone wants more awesomeness of this ROM try to use 360Launcher instead of GoLauncher and you will really love it ^_^

@alteredlikeness and @Fall of Enosis thanks for explaining stuff to me. :)

I am not familiar with straight talk, but it seems to be a big widepread problem with sending/receiving pic messages: http://www.straighttalkwirelessforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=6803&t=52142

If I find a solution I'll let you know, but it looks like maybe a change of APN settings might fix it...

EDIT: Go to Settings> Wireless&Networks> Mobile networks> Access point names, and which APN is selected? Also, this is where you would add a new apn if needed..

[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I'm at a loss.. i know sometimes the screen goes black during a call and i have to fidget with it or hold it vertical or something to get the screen to come back on - but i remember that on stock also.

Maybe just try a new/stock build.prop before an entire system re-install... then maybe fresh/stock phone and dialer apks... to try and pinpoint the problem.

i faced 2 problems

1) when i want to set data plan it crashes every time

2) In calender we have calender option where we can view

different calenders like i) phone ii) google & other subscribed

calenders... when i compress single/all calender, i cudn't

expand them again ! :silly:

any idea y ths is happening ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
1) Set a data plan where? Through the built-in data manager in Settings? Or a 3rd-party app? I don't have much experience with this, but the native, built-in data manager has not crashed on me yet.. can't say that it's very accurate, but seems stable.

2) Yep. I have the same thing. Don't remember how it was on stock, and I didn't mess with the calendar, so not sure about this. But if you close and re-open the calendar app all of the groups are expanded again...

[Motorola Atrix 2] Realorasz:
Okay... XDA's search for thread and categories has vanished on me so I have to ask this because I don'thave time to look through all 21 pages.

I just installed this, and now, for whatever reason, where my WiFi was working for a little bit, now it's saying "error"

could the GO Backup restoring wifi access points have caused that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Go to 'Manage Apps', select the 'All' apps tab, select Battery & Data Manager and Clear data. Maybe even go in to Recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.. it wouldn't hurt.

I play with/look at the built-in data manager/data meter all the time, and it has not FC'ed on me once...

That's a new one...

I have not had this issue, nor heard of anyone else with it either. Could be GO Backup - I have never used that.. I usually just let Google do it (I know it's kinda creepy that the all seeing Goog has my wifi password, and contacts, and everything else, and everyone else's..).

Maybe just try and "forget" that wifi connection, then reconnect...

Sorry I can't offer you much more help...

titanium backup not compatible?????

why when after i flashed the romulusv2, i try to download titanium backup from the play store but it shows "your device isn't compatible with this version

why???why????what did i do wrong..please help me
[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
A truly great ROM, one of the best I've ever used on several hundred different devices with thousands of ROMs tried and tested.

One question if anyone can help:

I do use my Atrix 2 for listening to music on the go (in the process of filling my Google Play account with a ton of my own personally encoded mp3 files, got a few thousand to go), and one aspect of the Cyanogenmod ROMs that I've always appreciated is the option to skip songs forward and backward by a long press on the Volume buttons. I've done several searches here in the past day or so but I keep getting all sorts of gibberish so I figured I'd just ask outright:

Can anyone suggest or point me to the way to get Remus (or Romulus) to have that same functionality? I searched all the options in the ROM (not that it has a big list of stuff that's user changeable) and didn't notice anything at all that might be related.

Would greatly appreciate a nod in the right direction if anyone can help.

And to alteredlikeness... a fantastic ROM, congrats. Can't wait to see what you'll be able to pull off once we get an official ICS (or Jelly Bean, hopefully) ROM in the future.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Did you wipe dalvik, cache, and data/factory reset before

installing?

You could try to clear data for Play Store in "Manage apps"...

First of all, thank you very much. This stuff is a lot of fun for me, plus a challange - so, yea, I enjoy doing it and am always learning something new in the process..

But, the vol buttons for song skip mod... that's a good one. Not sure how one would go about that, but I'm sure I'll be looking into it soon.. Do you think it was built in to the CM music player?

Thanks again, everybody, for all the kind words (I'll send you your payments via paypal ;):D)...

And @DX2,

Sent from my phone's mind
[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
Well, in my experience with using various ROMs, it wasn't specifically a feature in CM-based ROMs only; it was in a lot of others as well even AOSP/AOKP ones too so it's got to be something that can be patched in or added, I honestly don't know how to get it functional on my own, but if I could add just one feature to your ROM(s), that's what it would be at this point.

There are tons of volume control widgets and the like but, when the screen is off the long press on volume up skips to the next track, long press on down skips back to the beginning of the current track (if it's been playing for a few seconds or longer) or the previous track in the playlist - that's what I'm gunning to get added to Remus/Romulus if you're able to do it.

Also, I've used other music players on CM-based ROMs and they function the same way so it's got not specific to just the CM music player, at least I don't think it is.

Once you get used to having that feature of skipping to the next track or going back with a long press on the volume up/down, it's a really really tough habit to break, I assure you. :)

If you can find a way to add it, perhaps with just a flashable patch or whatever I personally would be extremely happy with the addition, and I'll bet that I'm not completely alone in that respect.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Looks like it's in android.policy.jar - see HERE and HERE (Not sure if I would try pushing those files though) - so, I may be going back over to Remus to try and check this mod out though... thanks for the tip off :)

Hello there !

first of all, thanks alteredlikeness for such a fine ROM !!

Then, would it be possible to add the volume-wake-up-screen tweak to this rom ? (i have the link to such tweak in case you would need it),

and also, is it possible to trim even more this ROM ? I come from an Atrix 4g using Neutrino ROM; Neutrino ROM was about 60Mb so i was just wondering if it would be possible to release a super light Romulus/Remus ROM.

Thanks again for your effort !
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I updated OP#2 with a package to remove those dark text bubbles on your homescreen apps (one for odexed and one for deodexed). Had the odexed one laying around, and I am back on Remus working on some smali edits for other mods, so I decided to make one for Remus too... I like the cleaner look.. and the devil's in the details...

So, those of you requesting mods, I am working on some - if I get these working, then I will attempt others...

And, a slimmed down version is not a bad idea, but some people may not like losing some of the stock apps... and, I doubt I could get down to 60Mb (especially the odexed Romulus)... Also, I highly doubt I will be releasing a new version before ICS gets released.. but then again, who knows..

I know its not my place to request stuff from you guys that put the time in and make our phones rock so consider this me reminiscing about unlocked boot loaders.

Updated OP#2 with the scrollable drop toggles from LE ROM moved to the bottom of the shade..

I know hardly anyone is on still GB, but, I wanted to mess around with some mods, so I decided to port the toggles from cogeary's LE rom again.. this time from GB to GB. And, it turned out to be a little bit of a pain with a couple of the resource IDs. Nonetheless, I got it working.

So, I accomplished a few things with doing this small mod:

1. got to test my porting guide that I posted (worked well except for a few exceptions)

2. got to really test my re-odexer script that I made (worked perfect for making the new SystemUI.odex)

3. got them toggles working at the bottom of the shade! (had tried that in the past with no success)

4. got to sharpen my skills ("I sever heads just to sharpen my skills..." - Slug (Atmosphere))

Thanks again cogeary!!

[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Its a FB app issue. Not ROM issue. There was an update for August 29th. You should go check playstore, update and see if that helps. +1 though, this ROM is dope!
[Motorola Atrix 2] fire_fist_ace:
What is there to update though? I don't have the fb app, i'm using the in built Facebook messaging that shows up when you add an account. worked this morning before I flashed the ROM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
You could try clearing data and cache for the "Messaging" app (Menu > Manage apps > "All" tab) - or the Facebook Authenticator app maybe.

Or if you have Titanium Backup, you can try to uninstall and reinstall your latest backup of that app, or you can restore an app from a cwm backup - first clear data for that app - then in TiBu, hit Menu > More > and choose "Extract from Nandroid backup"

Good luck! - and as a last resort, you could just download the facebook app (never had an account, so I never tested any of this)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I am really liking these toggles on the bottom of the shade... I can toggle data on/off and close the shade in one touch if I do it right :D.

This rom (ROMULUS) is great in battery Management
[Motorola Atrix 2] bull8042:
I am loving the Romulus ROM, AWESOME work! The only changes I have made for my own satisfaction thus far was to replace the battery icon to the digital numbers while discharging so that they match the characters while charging. There are two things I've noted:

1) The download link in post #2 for the framework-res.apk containing the CRT effect is not working/broken. Obviously, not a ROM issue.

2) In the dialer, if you select the last caller to return the call, the number is properly displayed in the box as black text on white background. The original number displayed above it is white text on black background. However, the number is highlighted when selected with very light grey or white making the number illegible. Clear as mud, I know.

My question is, anyone have any pointers as to where to find the text/highlight color for this field?

I came from Blaze v3 and am very pleased with the move. This ROM seems to be very stable and works very well. I hope it continues to be supported for a while since Blaze kind of died.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fire_fist_ace:
Pretty sweet, but im picking up 2 problems:

1. when the phone is on the charger, i get an unresponsive touch screen. When i want to unlock my screen with the pattern, i can only select 2 dots max before it thinks i have stopped touching the screen. To put in the complete pattern i have to unplug the charger first. Anyone else had this happen?

2. This is a major one. I notice this is the dev section but i figured i'd post here first see if anyone else knew. When my phone turns off due to low battery, it refuses to come on. Happened twice now. It gets stuck in a bootloop at the motorola screen. First time i used the charger to bring it on, then unplugged it just before the moto logo dissapeared, that seemed to work. But yesterday, this isnt working. When i do that, sometimes it boots up, but on the lock screen, it says i havent connected a charger, then immediately turns off. The battery icon is a red battery with an X on it. Anyone else had this? How would i go about fixing it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Those are both strange issues that I have never come across before. I would try a few different ROMs and see if the problem persists.. then it might be a hardware issue. Also, try not to let your battery fully drain..
