Great build, I want to try faux 1.3 kernel on it. Can I do it, or this is different as long as you compiled it from source.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Changing the kernel will reduce battery life, other than that, you can put all CM7 compatible kernels...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Sorry, site is up now...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RFOX100:
As usual. Great rom. Good battery life. No problems at all.. highly recomanded. Really good work man
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bapaogoreng:
Kernel Options

Is it possible for you to compile all faux's kernels and put it as add-ons, please :D

I've been using your ROM since first version and pair it with faux's 1.45 kernel, I still get decent time from each battery charge.

In version 20120828 I have a slight wifi connection problem, if I connect using DHCP the speed would be extremely sluggish, but when using static IP then the speed is normal. All other device is connected with no problem with speed whatsoever, so I think it's not my router's fault...

Anyway, excellent ROM, and so far it's limiting my desire to try other ROMs :p

Will try the new release soon. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Downloaded the upgrade pack (modified it a little to my tasting... has to happen ;) ), installed smoothly, wiped dalvik and then rebooted. Upon reboot I was told my launcher was not responding (I got the force close/wait/report dialog), I waited a while then rebooted. Then it was all fine. Now we'll see how it performs in terms of battery life. In any case, thanks! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chuotdx:
I had problem of the sync symbol appear too frequent in the status bar from 2808 version. Applied the update but not solved the problem. Then I try to apply another gapps (took it from topsmart rom)and the sync icon seems to be back to normal.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] -storm-:
notice the new kernel cap the min frequency to 300mhz although i've set it to 200mhz at the slider using system tuner.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

checked with setcpu it's reporting 216mhz min. now I'm confused.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Regarding the Wi-Fi, do you have dhcp reservation set for the phone? This is a common bug with gb since 2.3.6.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
The first frequency is only used in deep sleep. It's hard to catch of you are using the device...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:

I have it running on two phones now, very snappy, and excellent standby time, about 5 percent per 8 hours maybe on sleep.

Sorry, the site is overloaded a little... asked the service provider to give it more juice...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
I had launcher crashing issues after upgrading from 0822, too. Also had to reflash gapps which I didn't have to do when upgrading from other roms.

Odd, but it's working now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Did you upgrade to 20120905 from 20120822? Did you read the upgrade instructions? You either apply the specific update file or install the complete zip + gapps, either way no wipe is required...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fabianowerner:
I'm running this at 1.2ghz using faux kernel 1.3 and locked the frequency, I didn't make a full cicle yet, but it seems that it will last at least 40hrs from 100 to 0 percent.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
I didn't update using the "upgrade from" method because, unless I'm mistaken, I would have had to upgrade from 0822 to 0828 and then 0828 to 0905. I simply installed 0905. That's how I update other roms (Neutrino, epinter, etc.) and have never had issues until updating this rom.

And I didn't wipe anything other than cache/dalvic, like I would with any other rom update. The only things missing after rebooting from updating were the gapps (talk, mail, etc.)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
I understand, MROM formats /system everytime, this is just to assure consistency, just a quick re-installation of gapps is required, that's all...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
Ah... Makes sense now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Any other CM kernel is fine, but if you are looking for additional battery life, then just stick with the kernel I am providing...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Missconception about kernels and frequencies

I have to clear a missconception about kernels and frequencies, kernels have scaling governors, normally composed of 7 different frequencies, so if you are using a higher frequency kernel and locking the upper frequency to a lower one, you are also limiting the ability to use all 7 frequencies to accomodate load therefore using more battery, in other words an overclocked kernel at 1.45 running at 1000 will use more battery than an regular kernel running at 1000 as it's max frequency...

This will probably sounds like a shock to you...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fabianowerner:
im looking for a no-lag system with at least 48hours of uptime (im my own moderated usage). I only found this scenario one time with this configuration: Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 Stable + Faux123 1.3Ghz (downclocked to 1.2 cos at 1,3 i wont hit 48hrs of uptime). I have my nandroid of this, but i miss a lot of features like better camera, better videocam quality, tweaked build.prop and all related improvements that a ROM must have. Im trying every CM7.2 based rom ever, but in every cases i didnt get my max uptime.

I think that i can sacrifice some hours of uptime having an "iOS smooth-like" in hands, i can live with that. And i think that at 1.0Ghz i never felt this way, maybe running CM10@1.0Ghz. But every CM10 are still alpha...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Did you try to run MROM out of the box? Or you only tried with faux123 kernel at 1.2?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Speaking of misconceptions (or at least possible misconceptions)... I've read here somewhere that Tegra2 has its own hardware built-in CPU governor that is quite power-efficient and awesome and all that, but is only fully utilized when the kernel governor is set to "performance". Is that true? One of the reasons I ask is because I noticed the latest update (9/5) introduced CPU governors and also set "powersave" as the default one. What are your thoughts on this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Well,

that is an interesting questions, it's true Tegra 2 has optimizations built-in like a governor and it does a pretty good job, however, by looking at the kernel code and loops, the powersave vs. performance handles the scaling different, so, after testing with it, OI personally noticed more battery life... and little performance loss... but I am waiting for some community feedback to see how much difference is noted...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] natboy:
Can your kernel be used in different Rom's? I like the sound of it and I really appreciate your work but currently playing with webtop so a blur based Rom. Also I'm assuming init.d works with this which blur really needs. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
The kernel can be used on any room, and yes init.d does work. I have to package it for blur and cm7 update.zip files, I will create packages as soon as I have some time... hard to come by these days...:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] alberto88a:
Excellent job!!! I noticed one stupid bug: when you set "percentage battery" the icon is a bit corrupted while charging...forgive me for my poor english and thank you for this great rom! !
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krustbr:
Using the 0509 version, so far ok, except by the root issue, i still cant use root apps nor get root access
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
Maybe someone can help me troubleshoot this.

After upgrading to 0905 from 0822, I've noticed that data is constantly on even though I have a battery saver app that kills data once it senses traffic slowing/stopping after it sleeps. It comes back on to sync at scheduled intervals or once I wake it up.

With this traffic feature on, I only notice a drop of a percent or two an hour. Once I upgraded this morning, I noticed it dropped from 100 to 87 within a few hours and no use. The only things running are what's expected (display, OS, idle, etc.) I just can't figure out what's eating the battery or causing constant data usage (which I suspect is causing the battery drain.)

I've always had background data/auto sync enabled and it has never interfered with the Traffic option. Even with sync/background disabled, it still looks like something's keeping up the flow of traffic so that the app can't shut it off.

If none of the running processes are eating data, and background sync is disabled, how can I see just what's going on?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fabianowerner:
I tried it for about 5 hours but I felt laggy while scrolling down on settings and contact list.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
You can either use top via adb, or system tuner pro and record process activity...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
Will do. Think I'll try it this weekend when I have time to play around. I also noticed that I couldn't get into Titanium as it would hang on "Checking license."

I restored back to my last MROM and I'm back up and running like normal. Weird.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Did you update your TB? This issue has allegedly been resolved in the latest version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
titanium has posted an update which claims to address the checking license issue, otherwise just stop the app and restart it...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nh777:
Haven't updated yet, but I will once I go back to 0509 and still have trouble. Works fine in 2208.

I'm still curious what the battery drain was all about.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bapaogoreng:
Yes, but I thought reserving IP from DHCP server is a workaround for that bug...I've tried removing my Atrix from my home static DHCP list before and connect to other router somewhere else with the same result. But I currently removed my Atrix from the list again, and will see if there is any difference with the new ROM.

One thing I can confirm, I'm getting better battery life than previous version :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
We are curious about the battery drain, I have had the phone since this morning around 8:30 with beyond moderate use, it's now midnight and have about 20% left.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Kernels

For those of you that asked, I've uploaded just the kernels for both CM7 and GB. So you can use the kernels on pretty much any ROM. You can find them here http://www.montuori.net/atrix-mrom-kernel/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trashbytes:
Is it possible to flash over a CM7 ROM?

Or do I need full wipe?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
My weird wifi/data problem still exists, and now I found some more weirdness.

Say my wifi is off and my data is on. I turn airplane mode on, and then after a few seconds I turn it off. All of a sudden my wifi turns on too! Ok, I turn wifi off (data is still on like it should be) and I reboot. Now both wifi AND data are off!

Anybody else have anything similar going on?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:
1d 11hours, about three hours of screen on, 40 percent remaining.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] -storm-:
nope i've no wifi issue, tried to replicate your problem unsuccessfully, but i've got another problem to report, when I insert the charger it indicates charging, then I unplug and it's still charging, the battery icon is indicating it's charging so does the lock screen but i've already unplugged. My battery status timer freezed as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
How would you rate the battery life?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Question, did you run the update or the full install?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
If you mean the kernel, then yes.. please make sure to get the cm7 version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Did you run the update or the full install?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:
Very good I think, I have to test it a little longer to see. The only other rom that might compare seems to be topsmarts from what people are saying, but its not source built and I havent tried it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] natboy:
So I flashed your gb kernel into my blur Rom and Wi-Fi isn't working now. It says error in the settings pane. I know you compiled yours from source so I'm guessing it might be slightly tweaked. If you need/want some logs I can supply them.. if not I'll go back to stock kernel. Thanks for supplying it regardless.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trashbytes:
I mean the whole ROM. Don't want to wipe my apps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Do you use TB? if so, you would not lose your apps, just have to restore them. I believe someone tried already and had problems, but hey, take a backup, install room, gapps, clean cache and dalvik...it might work...worse case scenario, restore from nandroid backup...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Logcat would be nice, also can you open a terminal and run "find / | grep dhd.ko" and send new the results... work with me here, at the your system will have more battery life...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] natboy:
Thanks for the help

/ # find / | grep dhd.ko
/system/lib/modules/dhd.ko
/system/lib/dhd.ko

digging a little bit into I also did this and noticed a difference

I ran a setprop to sdio-g-cdc-roml-reclaim-wme-apsta-idauth-minioctl.bin for [ro.wifi-ap.fw-path] but couldn't figure out how to reinitialize the controller from that point as I don't have ifup or iwconfig on the phone.

Also, what's the best way to get a logcat? logcat > text?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
please type as root "mount -o rw,remount /system"

then "cp /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko /system/lib/dhd.ko"

then "sync; sync; sync; reboot"

let me know if it works.. I will change the zip file to include...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] natboy:
Yup, that did it, thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Great! I am really interested in blur performance and battery life. Please let me know... if you could post on the dedicated thread for the kernel, I have created one so that the two are separate...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] natboy:
Aw, didn't notice that, okay will do.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Update. I never even consider running the full install anymore, due to too much customizations I made.

Here's a (more-or-less complete) list of my customizations.

added to /system/app: ConnectBot.apk, HDMISound.apk, MarketAccess.apk, SuperSU.apk

deleted from /system/app: Gallery3D.apk, QuickPic.apk (I prefer to have it user-installed, in /data/app), QuickSearchBox.apk, RomManager.apk, Superuser.apk

updated to the latest version: AndroidTerm.apk

rolled in most of gapps

added /system/etc/init.d/99mnttweak (used to tweak certain mount options, like remove "relatime" from all mountpoints)

added /system/etc/init.d/10zipalign (checks /data/app/*.apk for proper alignment and aligns if necessary)

added /system/etc/init.d/04datatmp (mounts a 8M tmpfs on /data/tmp)

modded/hacked /system/framework/framework.jar - faster screen rotation

modded/hacked /system/app/Vending.apk - DPI fix

userinit.sh tweaks:

DPI changed to 213

set kernel swappiness to 30 (doesn't really matter though since I'm not using any kind of swap)

setup /sbin/sh as a symlink to bash (for use with adb)

delete old logfiles from /data/system/dropbox, /data/tombstones and /data/anr

remount /osh read-only if mounted at all (I like to have it easily accessible, but I'm not actually using webtop, so I don't need r/w access)

bash profile customizations (/system/etc/bash/* and friends)

I think that's about it.

And now I just noticed some bogus files on my device (compared to the full 9/5 zip):

/system/app/BatteryReport.apk exists

/system/app/Atrix-MROM.apk exists (looks like a leftover from 8/28, now probably replaced by MROM.apk)

/system/app/DatamanagerApp.apk exists

/system/app/FOTAKill.apk exists (probably added by me, not sure why though)

/system/app/GingerBlurB.apk MISSING

/system/app/LatinImeTutorial.apk exists (probably added by me, not sure why though)

/system/app/MediaUploader.apk exists (probably added by me, not sure why though)

/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk exists (probably added by me, not sure why though)

/system/app/OneTimeInitializer.apk exists (probably added by me, not sure why though)

/system/app/SetupWizard.apk exists (probably added by me, not sure why though)

/system/app/SimContactAdapter.apk exists (probably added by me, not sure why though)

/system/etc/init.d/07sdcard exists (looks like a leftover from 8/28, now probably replaced by 90mrom)

I used to run cm7.2 stable before this, I guess some of those files are either leftovers from that (although I'm pretty sure I did a full wipe), or were copied over by me (probably just because I thought it was a good idea). Guess I should try removing some of them, see if that helps...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Thanks for the reply. I deleted the files you said are safe to delete. As for the extras, yes I know those don't exist in the original ZIP, because I just compared my system to the original ZIP, lol. I'm pretty sure I copied them over at some point, for whatever reason (there probably isn't a good reason though), and I was hoping you'd be able to tell me what do those actually do so I can decide if I really want them or not. Or, I could just remove all of them and see if I'll miss anything. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] camattin:
Just tried this ROM out earlier today... this is the first ROM change I've done where I bothered with the TB and restoring apps. So far things are looking good. It took me a while to remember all of the tweaks (in settings) I had done with CM7, but I think I've gotten most of them.

Thanks for this slick ROM!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] -storm-:
I ran the update over 0828. manage to replicate the glitch most of the time now, happens when I'm on lock screen only, after unplug it still says charging, couple of unlock and lock , it goes back to normal, only once did it freeze my battery stats timer and require reboot, otherwise it's all good, thanks M.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyBiker:
Waking up, I had no media sound : no music, game music, no nothing. Call sound worked however. I had to reboot to restore the sound.

I did nothing specific : I flashed this rom yesterday evening after wipe and coming from MaxiBlur where I didn't have that issue with the same exact apps installed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] alediniz:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] camattin:
I noticed the same thing last night after a new install of MROM. So... I went to the play store in a browser on my PC and was able to install flash to my phone from there [since it had been previously installed, it was in my list].

Weird, but at least it's there now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gokturk_1976:
Excellent work,great work.Thanks.This rom is better than stable or nightly cm7 versions.Like it :thumbup:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Obartuckc:
I really like this ROM as well--and I know it's been stated to be a general CM7 issue--but I still have to reboot if I disconnect from any of my wifi connections and then come back in range.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] camattin:
That's odd - I don't have that problem (with ATT stock, CM7 or MROM). And I'm just using plain, non-static DHCP too.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] -storm-:
Anybody experiencing SOD? I'm having sod when the phone is idle for perlong periods. No issues on 0828 version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyBiker:
Wow, battery life is terrible on this. I thought it was a glitch but I've lost 80 % of charge over night. I don't have any app behaving weirdly in the background and it didn't have any drain with the same apps installed in other roms.

Battery management says the drain is caused bu the android platform and the signal so it's definitely an issue with the rom.

That's the thing with so-called "improved" version of CM. I've been trying them on HTC Magic, HD2, Ray, Xperia Mini and they always tend to be the exact opposite of what they pretend to be.

Back to official CM7.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Pretty sure it's just you. Sorry. Nobody else has complained yet, and I personally had my phone on for about 26-27 hours now (hard to tell exactly, there was a reboot at one point) and I still have 59% battery. So far so good if you ask me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fabianowerner:
you are trolling, must be kidding. you are one in a more than 5000 universe, cos the ROM has more than 5000 downloads. In fact the battery life here is a little worse than my CM7 official configuration, but the advantages of tweaking and "improving" the version, like having better camera, better memory management... it worth a few hours less of uptime. i mean A FEW cos i use to get 48hrs uptime at CM7 official and here im getting 40-42hrs with the recompiled build 4 kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gokturk_1976:
I think you can't get root permissions for some applications.For example Root Explorer etc.

You can try update your superuser app from Play Store and update latest su binary via Superuser app.
