I've found something interesting, not sure if the guy is talking hot air though, source:

It really isnt documented, this is from ti.com

And the RAZR was 1.2 from day one. Considering its realease date, and the start of sampling of 4430 (ti.com says "currently sampling" as of 28 March 2011) they well had enough "Turbo certified" samples to make a phone using only those.

In short, hes story seems legit.

But why do we have two different clocks and how does the rom determine which setting its going to run on.

I dont think CPUs themselves "know" if they are certified, they are just placed in another box after the tests(being a bit vague here).

Just like some OC edition video cards; fitted with a better cooler, placed in a different retail package(with higher price).

Then again some OC video cards do get a modded bios (but not at the OEM level).

If they had a different firmware/serial numbering like desktop cpus then it would be documented and listed on the ti.com site.

But could it be that they "know" it after all? I'm not even sure these ARM SoC-s have something like a GPU bios register that tells them the voltages per states and clock rates(that they could flash while still on the test line) at all.

The reason this is interesting is that if its burned in on an individual chip level, the hw revision holds no relevance at all.

OR

There could be some test after first install and it falls back to 1.0 if you get a reboot... obviously I didnt stumble into this and it wouldn't seem like a professional method from motorola at all.

Anyone running 1.0 carefully watching(and remembering, lol) the process could clear this one up though.

I'm on V1, setcpu is reading 1 ghz, I think my battery on ics seems OK, maybe drains a slight slight bit faster than before, but maybe that's my imagination!

Sent from my Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 with Verizon 4G LTE
[Motorola Atrix 2] dicksteele:
V1 at 1.0. Ran overclocked on 2.3.6 Roms at 1125.

1.2 bootlooped on every rom I flashed .

And I tried them all.

ICS leak is running sweet. Only interesting thing I've seen is uninstalling stock bloat, ATT crap, through Absolute System app (which is step 3 after every flash) is it says it uninstalls but it don't.

Like ATT family map or YouTube.

Says successful uninstall. Google restore is off, so no clue. Of course stopped trying after hard brick scare.

Battery is great, wifi and data fast. Only installed spare parts to set animation and window transition to fast. Originally it popped up on slow setting. That was odd.

Hit my upgrade date last week, but for some reason ATRIX is my choice. I had the original also.
[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
You know with ics, the at&t bloat can just be disabled, which is probably safer than uninstalling!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah I agree just get a bloat freezer app, much safer.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I had a v1 and ICS was clocked @1200 for me. I have never been that high - always got unstable around 1175 on gb - but it was smooth as butter on ics.. recovery operations were so damn quick.

Sent from my phone's mind
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jimmy273:
My phone is V1 and I used to run at 1.335 on GB. I am now clocked at 1.0 ghz by default on ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
No, I was saying that you don't even need a bloat freezer app, by default in stock ics you are able to disable (freeze) any system apps. Its a new feature in ics!
[Motorola Atrix 2] voodoomurphy:
So far, I haven't gotten a single app to show me the disable button, just force stop and uninstall.

My battery life is GARBAGE. I used to get 18 hours + on a single charge, but now I barely make it 12 hours.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
V1 - 1000 Ghz - Battery Problems

Even though I didn't install the ICS leak, I wanted to chime in because I've been having battery issues for some weeks/months.

When I bought the phone the battery worked well. After the 2.3.6 update the battery lasted even longer than before. So I was happy and everything. Now a few weeks/months ago I get to the end of the night with only 20% or 10%. Sometimes it even dies! I tried everything, even replacing the battery, and nothing, still poor battery.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
I think battery life is also subjective. There should be a standard as to what is good or bad. I have used my phone pretty heavily today with wifi on and im at 9 hrs and 30% remaining. This seems okay to me, but I noticed some people getting over 24 hrs on a charge so maybe half a day isn't that great.

My battery life is definitely better on ICS though. And it's also possible some of you are playing with all the fun stuff involving ICS for long periods of time which is making the battery die faster then boring GB where it stays in your pocket the whole day.

Anyway, I have a V1 and i'm at 1 ghz, ICS is noticeably faster. In GB I could run as high as 1.25ghz, and I would overclock using a script, not an overclocked ROM
[Motorola Atrix 2] leifemagnuson:
I'm v1 clocked at 1.2 ics leak. I bootlooped at 1.2 on gb. At first I thought my battery wasn't right. Seemed to charge really slowly. After a couple cycles though I'm pretty happy with it. I have basically the same battery life as before.

Edit

I was using Remus on gd.

I uninstalled all the at&t bloat with no problem.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cainn24:
V1@1.2GHz, no battery issues.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
has anyone else noticed that no one with a v2 has even voted? are we sure there is a v2? lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] fromanbr:
where do i check my a2 versioN?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
under the battery look at the fcc number and compare to first post.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
V1 clock@ 1.2 ICS leak, battery seems par
[Motorola Atrix 2] jfrank1485:
V1 here ICS OC to 1.2ghz battery seems drain a little faster but i guess it's the OC. In GB custom roms OC to 1125mhz because in 1.2ghz i got bootloop.

And just a note aside the At&t bloat can be download from market again well at least in GB I didn't check ICS market for these apps
[Motorola Atrix 2] fromanbr:
I charged (100%) until 5pm.. now its 1am at brazil and my battery is on 20%...

i didn`t overused.. didn`t call almost nobody.. just a few emails and whatsapp =/
[Motorola Atrix 2] dicksteele:
Cool thanks. Maybe I'll give that a try.

It's just I had bloat removal down. After a few dohs!, and reflashes of course.

Just old school, if you don't use it, need it or want it.... ****can it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarrellRaines:
V1 running at 1.2 ghz. No battery issues. I was running stock 2.3.6 when i upgraded to ics.

Seems as if the version doesnt matter. Is it possible those that upgraded from stock 2.3.6 instead of fxz back to 2.3.5 then upgrading are somehow the cause of getting a higher clock speed?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
Maybe the clocks need to be set down to 1Ghz before flashing back down to another FXZ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
I went straight 2.3.5>2.3.6>4.0.4 without reflashing the fxz and I'm 1.0ghz. This is on my backup phone which was running fine at 1.25ghz on gingerbread.

You're right about the version not mattering. Does anyone even have a V2? :confused:

If a developer could take a look, the opp* source files from the me865 kernel_omap4 file on sourceforge may hint at what's really going on. (It appears some ME865 owners are also running at 1.2ghz with ics leaks)

The omap4460 OPP table is in that well. Perhaps it gets used if it detects some "Nitro" efuse<- (pure speculation). This source is hard to follow ;)

I also see an opp table reference for a "Nitro Speedbin" that would run at 1.5ghz. (Any 1.5ghz Atrix 2's out there?)

The fact that some people were previously unable to overclock to 1.2ghz, but are okay with this new kernel hints at the possibility that there is some bug or limitation in the overclocking modules.

Hopefully tekahuna comes back from being awol. I hope he's okay...
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarrellRaines:
Well there goes my theory. The only thing not stock on my system is the atrix hd home screen and widgets but that doesnt effect the clock speed.

I also did wipe the phone first.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
I have a v1 clocked at 1ghz. Its hard to gauge my battery life right now because i keep playing with it, but my initial thought is that the battery life is better, I have been on vacation the last week and I have used my phone to take most of my pics, and with ICS it seems to last a little longer than GB. This is purely subjective and the true indicator will be when I use the phone as normal and stop playing with it so much. Been all grins here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
standby %

though i'm facing battery issue (V1 @1.2GHz) after upgrading ICS i observed greater standby %

1% battery is reduced in 80 min. (standby @ night) previously (GB) it was <40 min ..... :o

i'm using battery moniter widget & system tuner (settings: make 800MHz after screen lock normal 1GHz) :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] eeter:
I did a hard reset after installing ICS. It improved battery life
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
I also did hard reset.. and im fine too

After the guy with 1.325 oc and others getting 1.0 default, I could say the initial self-testing theory is out the window, and to my understanding of the posts here, the prior overclocking theory could be out too.

The factory testing isnt, because the facory test has temperature and other criteria.

I've also seen things like better (over)clock settings, where previosly unstable settings become useable, not sure if its just the voltage or other settings(I'd be surprised if it was just that).

For example there are some kernels that can go 1.2(gets unstable at 1.24) and other kernels go 1.5(gets unstable at 1.54) for the same 1.0 based phone(performance isnt that far apart tho)

In short, if someone has a proper kernel that can make 1.2 happen in some way on a phone, motorola should be the one - even if it was impossible with their old one.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
I don't suppose there is any correlation between those that are factory clocked at 1.2 / 1.0 and those that can FXZ back to 2.3.5 without hard bricking? Is it a mixture of people bricking, or is it one ghz group or the other?
[Motorola Atrix 2] girishvk:
I have a V2 here (Indian A2), but not on the ICS leak..so cant tell its relation to OC. However im on supercharged v6 rom with ~1125mhz.

Interesting..like maybe the clock was set to 1.2ghz in ICS and fxz back to 2.3.5/6 made it unstable perhaps?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
I came from the Lithium Rom. FXZd to Stock via script. Than OTA update, followed closely by the ICS leak..... On V1 Atrix2. According to ROM Toolbox, my default clock is at 1.2 on ICS and I've had o problems with battery at all..... Currently have 16 hours on Battery and I'm sitting at 60% left...... Seems a little better than what I was getting on GB
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
I'm on V1 @1000.

battery life is xxx better than when i was running GB.
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
V1 / 1.2 clock / NO Battery problems

Actually batter life has increased. Speed and smoothness also increased. This leak runs very well on my phone. Overall improvements all-around.
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
Hard resetting before installing a new ROM is always advised, but in this case, i didnt think we can take it into account, because the fxz formats the data partition once and you dont mess around too much before your phone gets ics. Still, you may have a point, since its not written in the guide and not everyone does it. So this could be the missing link that differs from phone to phone, user to user.

Has anyone else who had/has battery issues tried to Hard reset? Did it get better after ??

AND DONT HARD RESET JUST BECAUSE YOU READ THIS, MANY PPL GOT HARDBRICK TRYING.

Just tell me how your battery turned out... if you did.. (damn i'd need another poll for "hardresetted after installing ics/ battery issues")

I hardresetted and i dont have battery issues,

some people didnt hardreset and have issues,

some people didnt hardreset and had issues, hardresetted and bricked.

Also, some people can go back from ics to fxz,

some people get hardbrick trying that.

and some people get hardbrick trying, who already did it successfully(proves going back isnt a hardware issue, the guy probably didnt follow the exact same procedure, because it worked first and second time anyway)

I think these are all connected, something like, if you dont hardreset before first run of ics, you will have these problems.

I feel like we are in the right place solving this... and if we get enough feedback, we just might
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdhoggattjr:
I thought people that factory reset were just softbricked! Some are hardbricked because they wiped data
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
A factory reset wipes data and at this point a softbrick without a fxz or being able to boot into cwm is almost as bad as a hardbriick. We've pretty much gone back to where we all began with this phone.

Just like a longtailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs,we all need to be very careful what we do.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
well I have changed my mind after reading the battery life others get. I get about 10 hrs out of the phone and that's not very good. So v1, @ 1 ghz, battery life does and always has sucked. No hard reset. Preformed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdhoggattjr:
Has anyone made a system.img from working ics and tried to flash it back from fastboot
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
I did not factory wipe before my ics install, and i am at 1.2 v1 with great battery life.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
Now that i think about it, i did do a factory reset after the original ICS install. What i did was a factory reset and then chose to instal the zip file again via stock recovery.

As said before, no bootloop and battery life is wonderful!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jspugh:
version 1, speed at 1, off charger at 730 in the morning and on the charger at 9 at night with about 20 to 30 percent left. battery usage has not changed much at all. was running romulus before this with no issues and same battery life. got phone beginning of october 2011.
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
I have a question:

2.3.6: Cellstandby consumes the most battery: 4x%

4.0.4: Screen does: 6x-7x%, and cell standby is below 10% :\

About battery problem:

2.3.6 Indian: all night 7 hours: 1-2% percent

4.0.4 leaked ATT: all night 7 hours: 5-6% percent
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
Damn, that kind of answers theory number #three, i did factory wipe after first boot of ics and i have 1.2 and great battery life.

But we didn't do it before first boot of ics(like matt above here, and he got different default clock?). I had the app optimization come up two times because of that(second time after wipe).

In the end, it doesn't matter if we wipe before or after first run of ics, it does the same thing in response doesnt it? I mean there are no more preinstalls going on on the /system or other folders, that could be interfered with if we do wipe before first run of ics?

^^

If someone can tell me that is the case, im pretty much out of options/theorys for now, except for the marked-at-burn-in-test cpu one(and even that doesnt answer failing fxz-s for some and succeeding for others).

Still have a feeling the answer is/will be in this thread.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yep well said!

We got past it back then, and we will find a way out of this one as well. We are more organized this time though. All 6 of our devs are all working offline together to work through this and other pressing issues we have.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarrellRaines:
1 day 16 hours 22 minutes 54 seconds with 20% left on the battery.

This was with light usage over the period.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Washburned:
I'm on v1, was running on 1.2ghz before the ics leak, now the antutu shows 1ghz.

The battery life seems pretty much the same as on gb, although the cell standby uses much less battery than before.

The highest drain comes from the screen now (like 50%)
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
+1 for all parameters

I think 50% display consumption is kinda bug!

Mine is always @ 50% !

Sent from my A2 (leaked by att :-/ )
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Interesting turn of events for me. Just got my replacement phone in the mail and installed the leak.

I am again at 1.2 ghz, but with awful battery life. Tell you what my phone could double as a hand warmer. Even the screen is hot, lol. Gsam battery monitor says the kernel is sucking up 36% of my battery. I even brought it down to 1.0 and it still seems to be the same.

So those that had battery issues, did you solve them?

I read some of you did a factory reset and that helped?
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
yes im pretty sure it can help... but be sure to have a custom recovery installed, if it doesnt wanna boot after.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Skandranen:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
So guys, recommend a factory reset through our new recovery, or stock recovery? What worked for you guys?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Both factory resets should be the same...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MattM89:
Hello, I have searched after seeing the term "FXZ" mentioned as a way to downgrade the leaks to the phones software and cannot seem to find what it means and would love to know what it means and how to do it (if needed).

Thank you in advance!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
FXZ is an acronym for Full XML Zip file and is the format for most dual core Motorola firmware files.

They are an archive of all of the stock partition images for a given device to be flashed in fastboot with either RSD lite or using adb and the fastboot binary.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] richsapf:
REALLY?

A simple question like, what does FXZ mean?, has to be asked again?.......

okay, here goes.... What does FXZ mean?:confused:

i guess it had to be worded...what do the letters FXZ stand for?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] squiddyz:
As cellzealot said, "FXZ is an acronym for Full XML Zip file..."

When he says it's an acronym, he's telling you what the letters stand for. F = Full, X = XML, Z = Zip. If you don't know what that means, search somewhere else

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
My hopes for this thread is to give some insight to our Devs (Which are AWESOME btw) to get a feel for what the community would like to see brought to our device. Other than whats currently available for the Galaxy Note, what are some over your favorate roms from previous devices and what would you like to see ported over?

Roms that I would like to see added would be:

Jelly Bean (Of course)

MIUI (Official)

Gummy

Senseless (Sense UI with most bloat removed but including the One X Camera)

etc.

Feel free to add your thoughts and/or suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
33 views...0 responses...nice. All well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
The thing is tough that the developers pretty much make the ROMs for themselves and are nice enough to release then for others. Occasionally they will take request but usually it's what they developed likes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Gotcha, makes sense. I know our Devs are pretty awesome, but when I look at the Dev section all I see is a few of each of AOSP,AOKP, and Hybrids. I really liked the MIUI and would love to see a variety of roms and UIs. Was hoping for people to make suggestions and get involved with that process.

Or.... take the plunge and fulfill your own request... Ionno just a thought ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vinuneuro:
I just switched to Apex launcher yesterday and the one thing I notice is that unlike Touchwiz which is smooth even in Power Saving mode, Apex becomes very jerky if that's turned on. Makes me wonder if it uses a lot more power/battery than TW.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kingwp1:
Try changing your Transition Effect in Apex. If you're using Cube In or Cube Out, then I think it's using more of the GPU. In power saving mode, the GPU is limited.

...this is just a guess off the top of my head
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vinuneuro:
I have transition effect disabled.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] seoulstyle:
I was very dissatisfied with the performance of Apex on the GS3. I actually bought the pro version as soon as I got my phone and ended up switching back to TouchWiz days later. As far as power consumption goes, I don't think it consumes much more power, if any at all, but it's lacking the fluidity and simplicity that I've come to grow fond of in TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jmorton10:
Weird, Apex was very laggy for me in my old Rezounds but the Pro version is smooth as glass for me in my VZ GSIII
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] debk:
Apex works great on my ATT SGS3, very smooth.

I used to use Nova, but I think Apex is smoother

[Android] iwantyourskulls:
I have been helping Sinistertensai with his ShenduOS port for the HTC EVO 4G. I got Wimax to work and was wanting to see if anyone knows how to add a Wimax toggle to the power widget dropdown from the status bar. The port is CM7 based. In the SystemUI.apk I see there is WimaxButton.smali. I have tried adding the ids for it in public.xml and creating pngs for the toggle. I get no errors on compile but I get reboots or force closes when I try to bring up the power widget dropdown. I have very limited experience with editing smail code. I have also tried copying over the resources, classes, and xmls to the original apk with the same results. I have researched how to edit smali but I could just be doing it wrong or leaving something out. This has been driving me to madness. If anyone could help out that would be amazing!
[Android] thewadegeek:
Is there a reason you can't rebuild from source with Wimax enabled?
[Android] iwantyourskulls:
The ShenduOS SystemUI has been changed drastically and I cannot find the source code. That would require me to completely redo what Shendu has done and is well beyond my capabilities. The functionality for the wimax is there, I just need to find a way to add the toggle button. The actual widget has a wimax toggle which works, just not the one in the status bar.
[Android] lithid-cm:
I have only done smali a few times. How I did it was for example get a cm build going. Remove all wimax toggle related noti widget elements. Compile. Now you have a systemui base. Now build with the wimax toggle. You have a wimax toggle systemui.

Then use a program like beyond compare and after apktooling both systemui in their own folders. Compare the smali differences. Should get you pretty close. Of course there will be some trial and error if the systemui is different then that of cm.
