[Atrix 4G Android Development] Kahbrohn:
Ok.... FINALLY was able to get somewhere.

I took a deep breath. Read the OP (again) to make sure I had my steps in place. Did everything there and the update just would not take. At this point I am convinced it is not MROM since other people had no problem installing. I know it should not be my phone either. It's been running the previous version perfectly. Checked and re-checked the MD5's... and all is good there as well. Like the old saying... "It's not the arrow. It's the Indian!". I am convinced at this point that I have to be doing something wrong. So, instead of dwelling on what I could be doing wrong, I decide it's:

"Overkill time"

Gotta do this the hard way now. I downloaded the 1023.zip full install version (not the update). I also dl'ed the gapp file. I did a moto-fullwipe. I then followed up with a CWM data/cache/dalvik wipe. I then did another moto-fullwipe. I proceed to install the freshly, MD5'ed file and VIOLA! Installed just fine. It did seem to install way faster than I remember from previous installs/updates but hey, it works. Seems fast as can be but I believe that's because I normally use the #43 sv Kernel along with a slight down clock on it. I was even pleasantly surprised to see not one launcher (Holo), but TWO (ADW)! - Thank's MMontuori!

All's well on the Kah-droid phone again all though I could not benefit from using the update version. No matters... this ROM is worth the extra effort I personally had to put in (my problem had to have been the Indian and not the arrow :D ).

The only odd thing I have going on now is that I seem to no be able to sync my Google contacts. WiFi/Data work perfectly fine. My Google account is set up correctly and I access Gmail and Google Play with no problem and download my apps just fine. I just can't seem to get my contact list sync'ed to the phone. Any ideas???

Once again... I apologize for my poorly worded post earlier.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Did you set the clock? Or set to auto? Seams irrelevant but it's not. Second, try to clear Contact storage. I hope that you have synchronization of contacts turned on :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Kahbrohn:
I believe I do.

Background sync is checked.

Auto sync is checked.

The google account is there and even shows "ON" and the little green sync symbol at the end.

Contacts, Gmail and Calendar are all checked and have their sync symbols as well.

Now... clock setting??? I'll take your word that it's not irrelevant and will look into this clock thingy... BRB.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
The clock is very important in any type of sync, majority of algorithms are clock based...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
I have wifi after installing this latest update. I also flashed the sv kernel.

The problem is that I can't get gps to lock to save my life.

I flashed the update, flashed the cm7 sw kernel, and then flashed the GPS fix for the US. Yes, I cleared caches before, reflashed the fix, etc but still can't get gps.

Have no idea what to try next.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Cryingmoose:
I'd try the following 3 things

Reflash your radio

Try faster-fix app

Settings > location & security > gps source > Use Internal GPS

Or as a last resort

Wrap yourself in tinfoil and stand on your roof with your phone
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Reflash radio to get GPS lock again. Helped to many users including me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Are you in the US? I tried with this latest build and I get a GPS lock within 10 secs...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Kahbrohn:
SUCCESS!!!!

After clearing the contact storage, I continued to have the same problem of no sync. I even rebooted after clearing the contact storage file. No luck. Then, going back to standard computer OC'ing, I decided to clear one more time but this time powering off and then powering back up again and it worked.

Now... you two speak of a clock. From Zeljko1234's post, I was under the impression we were talking about the time clock that tells me when it's Happy Hour and such. From Mmontuori's post, I am gathering that the clock that was being referred to was the clock speed of the CPU???

:confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Clock as for time... all I was trying to say is that a lot of sync programs are written to figure out what to sync on when the updates were made... that's all, if the clock is out of sync, then, sync may not work...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Kahbrohn:
Gotcha... Thanks. Keep up the good work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rossbeck:
Loving this ROM... curious what exactly the addon package does? I assumed it would bring beats/etc settings to dsp manager but it appears as if it deletes that apk and then applies some settings... and that's it.

Is there no way to tweak the beats/etc settings after installing the addon? Is there a simple way to restore the dspmanager? ... or should I just start over?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
The addon package brings beats, xloud, and bravia all in one package. Beats is a preset equalizer, as far as I know, changes are not easy to implement. Beats on gingerbread is not compatible with dsp manager, which is my favorite anyway. Probably I will retire the add-on package soon, it creates more problems than it solves... as far as restoring dsp manager, if you don't have a backup, without wiping data, install the rom from cwm, not the update, apply gapps. Restart, that should do it...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rossbeck:
Sweet, thanks for the help and the quick reply!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Kerrnel:
Still has issues w/ WordsWithFriends

Like all kernels beyond faux 023r (including faux 024r2), the MROM kernel hangs WordsWithFriends after a few moves (~2-5). If possible, please check the changelist between 023r and 024 and see what change you are also including that is causing this. It's not just WWF - but it is rare. MROM works with faux023 ... so it will do for now, but it would be nice to pick up whatever other fixes are beyond 023 w/o picking up this bug (which is impossible to live with for WWF fans). I know the issue is covered in other threads ... just wanted to point out the issue is alive in MROM 10/23.

Bottom post on this thread's page talks about it (and over the next page or two) - no resolution there either: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1156040&page=313

Thanks for your work!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
I will look into it, but it would also help it you could provide a logcat while the problem is happening. Please log a bug using the process in the OP. This will give me the proper information to help you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] marcovrv:
Re WWF, could someone explain why is always the kernel to blame and not the app itself when it doesn't work?

IMHO, it should be far easier to fix the app than the kernel.

My 2¢.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aaurnab:
thanks for updating your rom.... i did OTA update yesterday. it is smooth and fast....like fluide...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] P05TMAN:
I agree to an extent, but I think the kernel messed w/ my wifi functionality
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
I am in the US which is why I always flash the US GPS mod after updating.

I was on my way back home to download the radio to flash it but just left Waze running even though it couldn't get a GPS lock. 40 mins later, it locked. After several different attempts and reboots, it doesn't seem to have ANY trouble locking again. Really not sure what was going on.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
It happened to me twice. First time I solved with radio, second time re-flashing radio didn't help. It solved itself same as in your case. I'm suspecting to wrong A-GPS data because I was abroad and downloaded this data over WLAN.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
It's called AGPS, like Zeljko123 mentioned. The phone attempts to download the ephemeris data from the satellites on "cold boot". Once done, subsequent locks are much faster.

See here for more info:

http://www.mobilespoon.net/2009/01/how-quick-gps-works.html
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
It's possible you are completely relying on AGPS, please make sure that in the GPS settings you are using "Internal GPS", I found it unselected a couple of times...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I found it unselected only in CM10 but good tip.

Super SU problems

Hi. I updated via update-file and found that it installed SuperSU, since I had installed superuser before it's starting to re-authorize everything that was allready authorized by superuser. I tried to delete one of them from /system/app since it doesn't make sense to have two potentially conflicting apps at the same time, but using the built-in file manager it's impossible, it just wont let you to delete. I don't know the reasons to switch from superuser to SuperSU (if ain't broken, why fix it?) but being so, I suggest that the install script at least check for and delete superuser.apk to avoid these conflicts.

Best regards, Marco.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
SuperSU was introduced because superuser is giving problems for many users... there are no conflicts, if you want to use superuser, you can, the real entry for super user access is the su program, just start superuser, authorize root access via SuperSU and update the "su" binary, that's all... if you want to switch back to SuperSU, do the reverse...

Thanks,
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
It was definitely using AGPS because it established my general location while still searching for satellites. I just don't understand why it took so long for it to sync up with the satellites.

That was my first guess and I checked it before making my original post. Everything was kosher. Must have been a radio issue. If it pops up again, I now have the radio zip and will flash on the spot and report.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
With GPS status you can manage A–GPS data and satellite signal. So you can see does your phone receive signal but can't lock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Did you miss the part of my post about COLD BOOT?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
So of all the cold boots my phone has had over the past six months, this one just took 40 minutes of locating instead of just a few seconds regardless of whether I had just updated a rom or not?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Version 20121023 contains a different proprietary libraries, that is probably the reason it took long, even thought 40 mins seams excessive...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Oh sorry, didn't word it right. I'm not talking about the phone cold boot, I'm talking about the GPS receiver cold boot. It happens, I guess sometimes the GPS decides to forget everything and start fresh, and then it takes a while to settle down. For me it usually happens when I haven't been using the GPS in a long time.

@mmontuori: would you consider adding bluetooth MAP profile? see link for additional details.. https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3857
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hermes2007:
Play store got FC

I had MROM version 1008, it works great. Got really excited to see an update at 1024. But at the mean time some how got distracted by the other kernels from Montuori's website.

So I flashed 1024 first, then flashed the CM7-kerne-sv-build43 (which might not be a smart move, but hey it is couple iterations after the #32 we had in 1024 MROM, right).

After that, play store opens fine. When automatic update starts, it will begin to download, but never get to complete before FC. The messages are:

"Sorry! The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." then

"Sorry! The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I reflashed 1024 MROM back again to get the correct kernel and wiped delvik cache. And reflashed the GAPPs. But still got the same FCs.

What should I do next?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Looks like gapps was missed...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Will took into it...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hermes2007:
I reflashed the "MROM-gapps-gb-09212012.zip", but that didn't seem to solve it. Is this what you are suggesting? Should I wipe data and cache after flashed the gapps?

Thanks for the great work. This is actually the rom I used, tried the AtrICS and "that ROM", they all drained battery too fast. It's like they are driving a Mustang only on first gear.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kreegaa:
thanks! that would be awesome!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
The best thing you can do is to restore /data from nandroid, flash MROM + gapps, clean cache and reboot...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chuotdx:
Dear mmontuori

Just encountered lost lock screen after receiving a text with handcent popup on. I set the popup to not go over lock screen to see if the lost lock come back
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
The quick solution is to reboot and disable handcent pop-ups...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
As far as I can tell, that service is already present in the ROM, it's just disabled.

/init.rc

service map /system/bin/sdptool add --channel=16 MAS
user bluetooth
group bluetooth net_bt_admin
disabled
oneshot

Now the problem (aside from the service being disabled) might be that it has a similar but slightly different entry in another init file...

/init.olympus.rc

service map /system/bin/sdptool add --channel=20 MAP
class post-zygote_services
user bluetooth
group bluetooth net_bt_admin
disabled
oneshot

BTW, this is how you start a service.

setprop ctl.start map

This is how to verify the service has been started (it should say running if started properly).

getprop init.svc.map

I tried this but it didn't work, I assume it might be because the service has two conflicting entries...

Hope this helps.

EDIT:

Hm, I tried running the sdptool command (/system/bin/sdptool add --channel=20 MAP) manually, and it said "Unknown service name: MAP". So I guess having the entry in init files is not enough...

However, /system/bin/sdptool add --channel=16 MAS seems to work, it says "OBEX Message Access service registered".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] moeburn:
@mmontuori, your changelog says "- 10/23/2012: BatteryFix from (ravilov) is now source built", but I do not want the BatteryFix as it makes my battery worse. It resets the 100% value to whatever the current value is, so that every time it runs my maximum battery charge goes up by 6%. Last time you included it in the MROM, it also forced itself to run on bootup every time the power cable was plugged in, so that by the third reboot my maximum battery charge was %118 (yes I know that doesn't mean it is charging above 4.2v, but I would still rather see 100% reported as 100%). I'm not the only one having this problem.

Is it going to run itself without my permission on this update like the last one? Is there any way to remove it now that you have included it in your source code?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
See previous posts, all this has been answered already.

No, it will not run automatically.

Yes, you can remove it if you want to. It is not included in the source code, it is just source-built.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
The battery fix version included in the build is less intrusive, you have to enable it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kreegaa:
thanks for looking into this.. hopefully this will get added in the next release.. will make it a lot easier and safer while driving!!

One minor issue unable to use other keyboards

Thanks @mmontuori the ROM is awesome, no issues, everything working for me, except, I can not use other keyboards. I generally use hackers or touchpal keyboard but after the latest upgrade, I can not select those keyboards.

There selection does not hold, in the input options, I have also tried freezing the default android keyboard with TB, than also I am unable to use other keyboard.

Any suggestion will be great, and Thanks once again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rapidmancy:
I use touchpal and it works. Are u sure u enabled it? There is an option for changing keyboards through the default keyboard which I must also enable

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Thanks for the research Ravilov, just need confirmation that starting the service manually actually works, I am also not familiar with this feature, so do we want the 16 channel or the 20 channel for next release?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Actually, I think we want both. :)

Notice the two lines, they are almost identical but one of them enables MAP while the other enables MAS.

service map /system/bin/sdptool add --channel=16 MAS
service map /system/bin/sdptool add --channel=20 MAP

I think the first one (in /init.rc, btw) has a typo, the service should probably be called "mas" and not "map". That could also be why init complains about a duplicate entry in /init.olympus.rc.

I'm thinking if you just change the service name in /init.rc to "mas" it should be fine.

As for enabling the services... I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm thinking they are probably disabled for a reason, possibly because they are dormant by default and get started automatically when bluetooth is enabled. Or something. This probably needs more research.

Now, I don't really use bluetooth too often, and I especially don't use anything that would use these BT profiles, so I can't check if this actually works. Someone else maybe?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kreegaa:
i can! this will be used by anybody who uses a bluetooth "kit".. as in car system, txting from the computer using a paired phone etc.. a little more info at the blog post linked in that Issue.

http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2011/04/obex-message-access-profile.html
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Thanks, this part of the operating system resides in the boot partition, which means, if you flash a different kernel other than MROM kernels, you are going to loose the services... first we have to make sure it works... If I create a new boot.img this weekend, I will need some volunteers for testing, I will put the new kernels in the pre-release page on my site for download, the kernels will not change, only the ramdisk part. I will let everyone know when ready to test...

I was also looking at the thread, and there are code changes, which I am not sure are required. Let's get the services started, let's then see...

EDIT: I was looking at CM10, it seams that the first line disappeared from init.rc, so only the one names MAP is present. We should probably do the same... the MAS service is just a typo present in the default cyanogenmod init.rc...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rootshot:
Thank you!

Many thanks for a great ROM that is keeping the Atrix alive! Everything works and is reasonably snappy. Keep the updates coming!!!!

Donation is inbound.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Interesting, and also weird... Especially since according to my initial research the MAS command works while the MAP command reports an error...

Dunno.. Like I said, looks like this needs more research.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kreegaa:
one more!

ok.. since i managed to bait you guys... :P

i was wondering whether audio over bluetooth mono would also be possible.. in my case the google navigation is "silent" when paired up to my car.. music works, calls work.. but no audio from navigation.. after some "research" i think its because bluetooth does not stream over mono for cyanogen gb...

just throwing it out there!!

thanks for all your work so far.. much appreciated!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Have you tried this function with cm10?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] WuchuHurD:
This is the cleanest rom I've experienced! Thanks for the hard work my dude donations coming your way once I reload the bank account lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kreegaa:
the navigation sound issue? nope.. i came to mrom from AOKP (AOKP_Olympus_4.0_Aroma_Signed_Th3Bill)..and it was not working there as well.. i dont know how different AOKP and cm10 are at the lib level.. wht i understand from my crude research is that they both use "ported" gb libs or from some other similar device...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Thanks, I am glad it works well for you. Enjoy it... I put a lot of time into making sure the user's experience is as smooth as possible...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] moeburn:
Headset suddenly stopped working

DISREGARD, fixed

I applied the latest update, and for a while the headset was working, even earlier this morning. But then when I got home and tried it again, it instead played through the phone's internal speaker. The headset icon on the statusbar does not show up when the headset is plugged in, even though I have that option checked. A reboot did not fix it. Between the time the headset was working and when it stopped working, I didn't install any new applications or even reboot. I did notice a system app that I hadn't seen before, "cyanogen dock audio", not sure if that was there before, but since I don't use the dock I tried disabling it, and that didn't help.

Any ideas what might be causing this? Would there be an easy way to try reverting to the previous MROM version without doing a factory reset? Aside from software issues, the only other cause I can think of would be that the headset jack got damaged; is this what would happen if the jack was damaged (no headset icon, reverting to the internal speaker)? Although I find that highly unlikely, since I'm pretty careful with the jack, and in my experience before a headset jack dies completely, it becomes 'glitchy' (scratchy noises when moving/bumping the headset plug). Is there any piece of software that might force the Atrix to play out of the internal speaker regardless of whether a headset is plugged in?

Thanks again for keeping this MROM free and updated for us, I love your ROM and really appreciate it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pixelguy:
i got a reboot the other day from playing music through my earphones then opening the camera at the same time, it frooze and rebooted

you might want to look into that :p

thanks for the cool rom though!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] moeburn:
nevermind! It appears I had accumulated a years worth of pocket lint in the jack, and it finally became too much. A small safety pin with the tip bent as a hook to clean it out, and after pulling out about 4 chunks of lint (the first 3 chunks didn't fix it), it works great now.

So disregard everything I said.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rapidmancy:
I believe that this is not a rom issue most of the times. Have you had the reboots before? I had them regularly when I bought my phone and had stock ROM but since I flashed mrom it happened only once

Sent from my Atrix 4G running MROM
[Atrix 4G Android Development] moeburn:
actually I've been getting random reboots on every version of MROM since I flashed it. Not very often, and usually as a result of some software issue. The other day I noticed that my Atrix's screen suddenly came on while plugged into the charger; it was rebooting! And I had no abnormal software running at the time, it wasn't doing anything but charging in sleep mode.

I do have to commend mmontuori for fixing the USB transfer issue though! On the previous version of MROM, if I tried to plug the Atrix into my PC for memory card access, it would get stuck in a "mounting SD card, SD card ready" loop until it finally froze and forced a reboot. Now with the latest version, its completely fixed! I can plug my phone into my PC and access both the external and internal SD card without any issues!

I'd love to know what mmontuori did to fix it, since I don't see that bugfix specifically mentioned in the changelog. Just curious to know what the problem was.
