USB Problem remains after update - I can't find any solution

:(Suddenly my phone started to reboot again and again. I couldn't do anything to change that situation so I restored a past nandroid backup.

:crying:Except for this the usb problem remains. I successfully installed the last update today but nothing changed about the problem. Particularly, my phone can't be recognized from any computer (I have tried on three different computers) and can not be charged through usb connection. I can only charge my phone using a wall charger with the usb cable, The problem exist in CWM too. The phone can't be recognized by pc even if I select the usb mount option. Moreover, when I sometimes reboot my phone the message "system is not respond" is being appeared and I press one of the two options and the phone continue to load the startup apps.

Maybe the problem is sourced by the titanium backup restoration I made after the mRom installation (I restored abou 400 apps from me previous device). The problem will possibly be solved if I make a new clear installation of mROM but I don't want to lose all these useful for me apps so I am trying to detect the source of the problem.

I also rarely can't charge the phone using a wall charger. For instance, today the device didn't recognise the wall charger so I reboot it and then I could normally charge it.

I tried a lot of things but I can't find the source of the problem.

Any ideas about how to fix this annoying malfunction??

michael, the only thing i see that can be added to this amazing rom is a miui camera with front camera support, yes i know we have cm camera, but its to make it easier, other than that this gb rom has reached the top of goodness :good: thanks

Hi, 2 "simple" questions:

Do I need to install "Atrix-MROM-20130113.zip" or I can go straight to "Atrix-MROM-20130113"?

Do I need to install CyanogenMOD gapps or I can stick with "MROM-gapps-gb-09212012.zip"?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Well,

Restoring applications from Titanium Backup should be very selective, 400 apps seams to be too many... just install the ROM+gapps, and selectively restore application from Titanium Backup, I do it all the time and never had an issue switching to and from any ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
I will see what I can do...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
All of those have been answered before. Asking questions is okay, but only after you've done your research and still couldn't find the answer.

Your first question makes no sense, please rephrase. If you're asking if you can just go ahead and install the latest version, the answer is yes.

As for the gapps, just stick to what is recommended for this ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SharkXI:
Sorry, i've searched in the http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-mrom/ and didn't found answers, anyway my bad.

First question i've copied/pasted wrong. The correct was supposed to be "Atrix-MROM-20130113-update.zip".

Already found my answer searching here. Ty and sorry again for bothering with answered questions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cobrax2:
if you have another rom, flash the zip. if you have already mrom, flash the update

then the mrom gapps
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
I just made a totally clear new installation of Mrom. I have not installed any other application yet.

I am checking now to see if the usb problem remains.

Unfortunatelly, the usb connection doesn't work properly:

-The phone is sometimes being normally connected to the pc (charging+mount SD cards).

-In other cases it only being charged but I can't have access to the SD cards (sometimes are visible but not accessible, some other times are not visible)

-In same rare cases the phone can't also be charged.

This is not a normal behaviour. I don't know what else to do.

Any help?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Try a different cable?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
I have already tried two different cables.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RaiderDuck:
Try different USB ports on your computer. In particular, try a USB port on the back that's directly on the motherboard, rather than one on the front connected by a cable. The voltage differences are slight, but they do exist and can make a difference once in a (rare, rare, rare) while.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ang1dust:
How is this ROM as a daily driver? Speed / Reliability? What base is this GB / ICS or JB? Im not seeing it or am i missing something?

Edit: Its GB anything on the other questions? :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Cryingmoose:
Re: [ROM] Atrix-MROM [CM7] build:20130113

It is the best daily we have hands down. It's GB without webtop
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ang1dust:
Webtop is just the ability to dock a keyboard / monitor thing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
You're clearly missing a lot. It says right in the thread title it is CM7-based. That should answer a lot of your questions.

If you ask me, it's not a daily driver, it's a monthly driver.

Kinda. Read up on it please.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RaiderDuck:
Awesome, awesome, ROM. It's nice to have full HWA combined with good battery life AND I get my fingerprint reader back. Sweeeeeet! And the Holo Plus launcher makes the navigation enough like JB that I really don't miss it (with one big exception, noted below).

Two questions:

1) Is it possible to port a version of GoogleNow (the one thing I really do miss from JB) over, or does that program rely on too many ICS/JB components to make it practical?

2) Why, oh why, does the XDA Premium app not work on GB? Seriously, XDA: What gives?

Awesome rom indeed.

1. It is not possible. Only ICS & JB.

2. XDA premium app has been updated and new versions do not support GB anymore.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aaurnab:
anybody have camera problem?? it is very laggy on vedio.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
I have the same query.

I have already tried it.

I have an additional problem with my device:

-I made a new clear installation of the ROM. After that I restored all my applications from my previous phone (without data) using the Titanium backup.

-The number of the applications is about 450 apps. Ofcource, only the important apps run on boot (I configure the startup apps using the application autostarts)

After the restoration I reboot my phone to check if everything works properly but unfortunately the device started to be rebooted every 1-2 minutes after each reboot. Checking the %cpu usage per application, using System Tuner Pro, between reboots I noticed that the system task value was most than 100% I saw some indications of 150% or 1000% and after some seconds the device rebooted. This was occurred 3-4 times. After that I decided to leave the device 5 minutes without touching it while the rom was loaded after a reboot. After this time the device was ready to be used. It seems that the device is loaded to much in every reboot. However my old devise was ZTE blade with a 600MHz cpu and 512 ram and had no boot problem having this 400 applications. Why I encounter this problem now???

I know that the number is too high but I want to restore all these applications to feel familiar with my new phone so please don't advice me not to restore my applications.

I hope that you will propose me some solutions to detect the source of the problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dom_b:
Re: [ROM] Atrix-MROM [CM7] build:20130113

Nobody else has random reboots that I've seen...and having 450 apps restored in one go is going to make it impossible to troubleshoot.

If you want to solve it, start with a clean install then restore 10 apps at a time until you discover what apps/apps are causing you issues.

Nobody is going to give you a solution. With 450 apps and their data restored theres just too many factors involved.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Also it sounds like you've damaged the usb port on your atrix, get a new system board for it if you want to fix it I would say. Unless you can buy the port module seperately.

Webtop is irrelevant if you're using this rom ... it doesn't support it. Go back to a blur rom if you want to try webtop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
Thank you for your reply. However, I don't know what webtop is...

Could you explain me?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dom_b:
Re: [ROM] Atrix-MROM [CM7] build:20130113

Honestly if you don't have a lapdock and a blur rom it doesn't matter.

Its a small Linux layer that starts when you dock you atrix into a lapdock (or HDMI with the hack) that gives a better web browsing interface on a large screen.

look around the forums if you want to know more. It has nothing to do with this rom or thread.

Re: [ROM] Atrix-MROM [CM7] build:20130113

I searched the thread but couldn't find an answer. Can anyone please confirm whether landscape hdmi mirroring works in this rom?

I'm running a blur based rom now so I'm not sure but I've read that LS mirroring isn't supported in CM based roms.

Thanks!

Great job!

I usually never post, but this was such an outstanding build I had to say, "Job well done!". I had Alien and enjoyed it. Then went to Notttachtrix and loved. I read this and thought I would try; it.

At first I thought I bricked my phone. Got a " modem did not power up (0) then Starting RSD protocol support modem did not power up (0) then Starting RSD protocol support" that would not go away even after restoring from my backup. However, after restoring the stock from and starting from scratch it worked like a charm. I love everything about this from! Like having a new phone. I replaced the camera with the ICS camera and will probably replace the battery notification with one similar to what I had with Nottachtrix. The stability, the boot time, and little extras make this a great rom!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
Re: [ROM] Atrix-MROM [CM7] build:20130113

Thanks for writing such a good review. I have a question for you. Which ICS camera are you referring to?

What hdmi mirroring is?

I suppose that is the projection of device screen on a pc.

I just tried to test this function using a hdmi cable but nothing happened.

Should I enable any option from atrix preferences?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
HDMI MIRRORING:

Works out of the box for me, no setup needed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
It worked just connecting the cable?

I connected it but nothing happened.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dedebekri:
It just works if you plug in the cables. Try with another TV or PC monitor.

If you need sound out of HDMI as well, go and tick settings > device settings > hdmi audio. Untick to get the sound back to device.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
^ That.

I just connected the cable, selected "HDMI input" on the TV and there was the picture.

I don't know if it matters but I used the original HDMI cable that came with the phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
I connected the cable again and again but nothing happened. I am trying to connect the phone on my laptop.

I don't have the original cable.

Should I use any application like this??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rasec2002:
Trying to conntect the phone into the laptop HDMI port? Are you sure that such port is an IN port or might it be an output port?. In this last case you are going to get NO image on your laptop screen.

Re: [ROM] Atrix-MROM [CM7] build:20130113

Yeah, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Makes no sense at all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
I am trying to connect my phone to my laptop. I don't know if the port is an IN or OUT one. I thought that it is the same.

How could I recognize what kind of port is?

I suppose that the device can only work with a IN port, right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rasec2002:
Usually laptops have an HDMI OUT port in order to connect it to a bigger screen. In this case you cannot use that port to test your Atrix webtop feature. You need a TV or monitor with a HDMI IN port.

Regards.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
How could it ever be the same... :confused:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
Thank you for your response. You are absolutely right.

It's the first time I tried to use a hdmi connection. I thought that a port could be used as IN or an OUT one. Why was this surprised you? I had to know how hdmi technology works? I now wonder If there a way to make an OUT port to works as an IN one
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Think of it as those round 3.5mm headphone plugs on, say, your computer sound card. The exact same kind of plug is used for both LINE IN and LINE OUT, but there's no point (and makes no sense) to connect a pair of speakers to the LINE IN plug, now does it? Both the LINE IN and the speakers are meant to receive sound.

Or if you will, think of it as a pair of AA batteries. You can get double the voltage if you connect them in series, but you will get nothing if you connect (+) of one to (+) of the other.

Does it make more sense now?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Stelios85GR:
Ofcource, you are absolutely understandable.

Thank you.

Do you think that this cable will connect my atrix to my pc as a HDMI cable?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
...No.

You are completely missing the point. It also seems you don't understand at all how this works.

The laptop is not an input device. There is

NO WAY

, no cable, no nothing that will make this work.

Re: [ROM] Atrix-MROM [CM7] build:20130113

This is what you would need:

http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensity/models/

Its a completely different ballgame than an adapter cable.

BUT I must also add that the devices definitely do talk to each other a bit over hdmi, so its not really like an analog headphone jack, although in the sense that media flows one way, it is.

Back button rejects incoming call

Dear mmontuori, I have asked the above question sometimes but no answer. Please confirm if it's CM7 feature or just my phone? TIA
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
The best way (and the only way I can think of) is to not press it. :)

No idea if this is specific to CM7 or to this ROM, but I can confirm it happens on my phone too. Not a problem for me at all since I'd never even think of pressing that button when I have an incoming call. Or do you mean accidental presses while trying to get the phone out of the pocket?

Maybe you could try using some other dialer? There are plenty to choose from on the Market.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chuotdx:
Thanks, yes I meant accidentally press that button while pulling the phone from a tight jean for example. I did use other dialer but bot help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
It's definitely related to cm code base, that part of code I did not touch. I will examine the latest source code to see of the problem has been fixed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Finally gathered some courage to flash this rom and boy o boy, boot up time was indeed 10 sec give or take. other then that cant feel any difference from cm7.2 nightly, still have to test GPS and battery life. will report back soon. BTW halo launcher sucks, was not very smooth as mentioned. shifted to go launcher and its much better (that's my opinion).

P.S: OP can you tell me that does "contains all the most common Atrix tweaks" means this have barvia hack and beats audio/Xloud builtin ? (checked and multi-touch bug was patched so assuming that's what u meant by "contains all the most common Atrix tweaks".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
I think I am going to open up a poll for the launcher because I would prefer to let everyone make a choice on which launcher to include on the next release, even though, we can all install what ever launcher we are more comfortible in. Regarding not seeing many differences from cm nightly, you are probably correct, you should not see many differences in look and feel, but what I am doing here is more making sure all the components work well together and change things just enough so performance and stability are better. I debated Xloud and Beats, for a while, and even ran them in one of my prototypes, but for now I oped out, I was seeing strange behavior, my primary reason is that I do not have the source code and cannot see all they do, they might introduce instabilities. As I said I go for stability, functionality, and performance above anything else. If I am not sure about a certain package, then it's not making it into the main build.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
You my friend have made a wonderful ROM, and i totally agree with you about beats audio (weird **** happens when i flash it) and i must say one thing if you could then please take a look at skype and microphone behavior (both work together and create noise when trying to make a video call) only workaround is to use hands free :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
I vote for the most simple (but effective) launcher possible. I'm even thinking the stock AOSP one. I believe things which are highly subjected to individual personal preferences (such as the launcher, the keyboard, the theme, etc) should be kept to a bare minimum in order to maintain stability and compactness. Like you said, it's trivial to download and install your favorite launcher if you don't like the default one.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmontuori:
I am assuming you've already cleared dalvik and cache?

Vote original ICS launcher to keep it simple and fast.

Cm7 may have added some settings for the vanilla launcher.

Launcher is so subjective yet so easy to install.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] James62370:
I've noticed this on many CM7 ROMS, try switching to SUPERSU and see if it helps... Download SUPERSU, Update Binaries. Uninstall Superuser, SUPERSU should take over.

As always, make a backup just in case.

Good luck.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gusbeto37:
Ok, Tried SUPERSU but it never stops to "install the binary"

I also went and wiped dalvik cache and cache partitions.

Still no luck. I really do not want to have to reinstall everything to regain root. What do you guys recommend me to do?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] James62370:
It's a little tricky when switching superuser apps. Uninstall supersu, then reinstall superuser, update binaries. Everything should be back to the way it was before.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:
Given the diversity of answers given to the poll and no real majority (choosing Holo would be going against more than 55% of people), sticking to stock and letting people install their own launchers when they first launch market might be the best, and most compatible option.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pinktank:
Also, a nice addition would be modifying the number of volume steps. The default is 15, 20 would be enough. It's under framework.jar there is a mod out there that makes it 30 steps.

My experience with MROM so far

I am coming from z71 variant of Motorola XT Quench 3 or 5

1. I couldn't unlock bootloader as it kept giving "OEM Unlock is not implemented". Turned out that I had to flash the SBF IHOP_Bell as I had a 2.3.6 with 4.5.2A-51_OLL-17.8 version.

2. The root using shortfuse 2.3 and cwm flashing using ROM Manager went through perfect without any issues.

3. MROM flashing using cwm was straight forward

4. I found the following things different than from stock:

a. FP unlock works but there's no fallback to pin security.

b. Quick sms response, if I want to deny a call (busy) is not available in MROM. Still looking for an app.

c. Battery life is lower as there's no mode such as switch off data after 15 minutes of activity. I used an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sk.pcm2&hl=en for that.
