[Atrix 4G Android Development] matrox02:
I made the mistake of trying this file on my phone, I ended up with a softbricked phone for a bit , the phone somehow damaged the recovery and i had to reflash the recovery to get it working as it wouldnt mount any thing ( cache , OSH, data ) and was hanging up on that

NOTES FOR PEOPLE THAT ALREADY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH NO BOOT

If anyone else runs into a "e:cant mount cache/...." stuff just connect ur phone through fastboot and reflash the same recovery image as you had to the phone and hope that it works for you too

It may be purely coincidental that this happened to me, or it could have poped my recovery, but this worked for me non the less
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Cocolopes:
You can make a thread about it? explaining how to change the cmdline and all that?

Thank in advance!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Just a small note: the phone didn't "somehow damage the recovery". Thing is, the cmdline utility changes the kernel commandline for both the regular kernel AND the recovery kernel. That's why this fix needs extra attention, because if you screw up, you screw up both.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dp28688:
i have tegra part d00, i still have the soon as screen shuts off doesnt come back with the latest update 10/23 version of rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gfeo:
Does anyone have a stronger contrast and/or over saturated colors all over the system?

I'm sure it's not my display because it does not happen on other ROMs
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
That's the new graphics libs in action. The colours are supposed to be like that, imho. The colours with the "old" quasi-hwa libs are dull and pics don't look good on the screen. The new libs make the colours more vibrant. You'll get the same results with other ROMs based on these new kernel & libs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gfeo:
So it's supposed to be an improvement? You did notice that the gray dialogs look nearly purple, didn't you?

Anyway, would it be too complicated to change it back to the old dull colors? Would it require me to revert to the old graphics libs or is like a line or a value that could be easily edited?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
I'm not getting any "nearly purple" dialog boxes... Try turning off dithering.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
For me, colors of pictures was better with GB. I tried to turn off dithering but didn't help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
I know it's subjective and I didn't compare it with GB, but compared to the CM9/10 with the "older" libs, I like the colours from these new libs much better.

Of course, you might have a different taste, but afaik, there's no way to revert to the colours of the "old" libs. The only graphics-related settings I could find are all in the performance section, and only related to dithering and transparency settings.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gfeo:
Same here.

Actually, it's kind of a brown tone...

A person's skin on a normal, unmodified picture looks like it's got an Instagram effect... Hehe
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I'm talking about camera pictures. Somethings wrong with them and new libs. GUI and rest is fine.

Yes, Instagram effect LOL
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
I thought you were talking about UI colours like gabriel_feo.

I don't use the camera much, so I wouldn't know if it was different. :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gfeo:
Where are the graphics libs located?

(I'll see if I can find something)

Changing the topic, it seems to be much slower, even though it is more responsive. Is it the price we are paying for the extra responsiveness? It is much slower than ICS, even in the Settings...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
libs are located in /system/lib/ :)

If you're talking about 10232012 build, it's fake build. Slower, bloated, some build.prop tweaks but the same build date as previous one (20121021).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cailloup:
Much faster for me

Maybe you need ramfix? what's written in "about phone" ?

Not sure about the difference you make between "speed" and "responsiveness"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rmriggin:
Don't know if it's the placebo effect but after doing the proper edits to do the ram fix to have 855MB available now the system feels even smoother.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Cocolopes:
Can you tell me how to edit the ramfix to work? I cant do it.

thank you very much
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rmriggin:
use a root file browser and copy cmdline file located at /proc/cmdline to a location on your sdcard or internal storage. After that file is saved I hooked up my atrix to my computer and copied both the posted ramtest.zip and cmdline file I got to a folder on my desktop.

Unzip the ramtest.zip to its own folder. Then go into the extracted folder to \META-INF\com\google\android and open update-script with notepad.

Also open the cmdline file you got earlier from your device with notepad.

From the cmdline file copy all the text after "vmalloc=320M" and paste it to the update-script file replacing the text after "vmalloc=256M" with what you copied from the cmdline file.

The update-script file should now look similar to this:

ui_print("Fixing ram..");

package_extract_file("cmdline", "/tmp/setcmdline");

set_perm("0", "0", "0755", "/tmp/setcmdline");

run_program("/tmp/setcmdline", "mem=384M@0M nvmem=128M@384M mem=512M@512M vmalloc=256M video=tegrafb console=null usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=mbr:1100:100:800,kpanic:2500:400:800 security=tomoyo mot_prod=1 androidboot.serialno=XXXXXXXXXX");

ui_print("done");

with of course the serialno= being your devices serial number and the tegrapart= being whatever yours is (mine happens to be the 1100).

save the changes and go back to the root of the directory you unzipped the RamTest.zip into (it should contain 1 folder and 2 file "META-INF" dir and files cmdline and cmdline.c). Highlight those 3 items right click and "Sent to" > "Compressed (zipped) folder".

Copy the created zip back to the sd card or internal storage on your atrix, reboot into recovery and flash it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jhonnyx:
Please bold the with of course the serialno= being your devices serial number and the tegrapart being whatever yours is (mine happens to be the 1100).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rmriggin:
I am going to take a nandroid of my current system and test out a "universal" ramfix zip that I hope will have the same effect but work on any atrix.

Update: didn't work as expected so unfortunately I wasn't able to make a zip that anyone that wanted to try it out could flash. I am sure someone with some actual skills will figure it out for the masses.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] invinciblervd:
What's the better one then? Are you guys talking about 20121020 build?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
20121021 is build what I'm using now to make post.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eddhard:
Just a general thanks. I've merged all the build.prop fixes from this thread into the 21102012 build. And applied the new ram fix. I have changed my build name to blazing bunny. Its smooth and stable(ish)

Thanks guys.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Night Walker!:
Can you post your build.prop?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallville CK:
What do you do to make battery last longer? Setcpu? Any other app?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rmkilc:
Plug it in whenever possible. :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eddhard:
Will do. Won't be until tomorrow. Its nothing special. Just tweeks mentioned I'm this thread. I'm working right now but I'll post it in the morning.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

I use a combination of set CPU and green power premium. I get 6-8 hours.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rubb:
So this build still have those problems...poor batery time..overheating...?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] coolnow:
No, this rom is 100000% perfect, 10 days battery full usage, sub zero operating temps etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ishimarumakoto:
Just making this clear, we have everything working but the fingerprint and cam flash ?

I really thinking to test it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rmkilc:
Chrome works, hardware acceleration works (mostly, it tends to get jammed up when typing fast), but it's far from perfect. In my use case, between this and epinter's CM10, its a tradeoff of Chrome working or better battery life. I'm preferring Chrome at the moment.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yogi-4:
Camera flash I dunno as I brought the camera app up and tried to just focus and I seen the flash light up a bit then the camera app exited. I tried to bring the camera back up but said "can not connect to camera". I rebooted and tried again. Same thing. I don't use the fingerprint so I can't comment.

Now if your just thinking about testing it as I did, make a nandroid and test it yourself!!! What might be borked or slow for me might be just fine for you... especially with this ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] renguer0:
There is really something to do with the fast battery drain of the ROM? FP or camcorder flash don't care me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kiy0shix24:
The issue with unlocking the phone and getting a black screen still happens for me :(

I really wish I could use chrome...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jhonnyx:
+1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ebswift:
Just chiming in to say that RamfixTest has increased my RAM up to 855MB and everything seems to be working 'normally'.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
Some testing with a few SD cards:

32GB noname C10 --> reboots

16GB noname (possibly a rebranded Samsung) unknown class --> reboots

8GB Transcend C6 --> reboots

No SD --> no reboots

Not to mention that transfer rates are slooooooooooooooow....

All I have left is an 8GB Samsung C2 and a 512MB Sandisk unknown class. I'll test them out later.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] arqda:
i have a Sandisk 2GB unknown class w/o reboots
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Houseplant:
After a full 24 hours of using the 10.23 build, I can say the following:

Battery life drains at about 10% per hour

The screen still takes a few seconds to come back after waking the phone up

The screen goes black and can stay black after a phone call has ended

I have experienced no random reboots and I am using a 32GB SanDisk SD card and WiFi has been on the entire time

Music playback, Chrome, and everything else I threw at it seemed to work fine

Some of the screen transitions were a little slow, but mainly during setup and right after I'd finished setup

Definitely an improvement over 10.21 (at least for me) so thank you to the devs for all of your work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Pistolaobr:
Guys, the new CM10 made by Epinter is using the 2.6.32.60 kernel :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
That's not quite the upgrade, seeing how the previous version was on 2.6.32.59...

In other words: it's just an upstream update. No HWA on it yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] francescod:
Talkin about kernels....Lg released ICS kernel source for the Optimus 2x...would it be useful to us?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
Maybe, maybe not. Even if someone wants to skim the sources for whatever we can use, it's still gonna be a major undertaking to get a proper working ICS/JB kernel for our Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] francescod:
I trust in Epinter, Th3Bill, mmontuori, faux.... :fingers-crossed:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
As an added note, the sources for the ZTE Grand X was already released back in August. Seeing how we haven't seen anything related from those sources incorporated either here or in the LG O2x forums, I'm not going to speculate about how these LG sources will be useful/not useful for us.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyBiker:
Honestly guys, I don't see a fully working ICS/JB rom ever running on our Atrix. I've seen so many similar situations in the past for other devices and whenever such work was needed, the projects would always die.

It's not that devs are not motivated or incompetent, far from it...it's just that it's too much work for a very uncertain outcome. As it takes a lot of time, devs start moving to newer devices (faux already did quite a while ago now) and that's that.

The leak will help us building more complete builds than before (and all the people - from devs to simple users- working on improving our experience are doing an amazing job), but not much more than that I'm afraid.

TLTR : don't get your hopes too high; we still got screwed big time by Motorola.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
There is no point of your post because everything you just wrote we know already. You're going just produce off topic and probably flame.

Edit: No one expected leak, but leak happened. Kernel source exist, could be leaked too ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rubb:
I was just asking about the rom dude...no need to be a jerk :P

Anyway, I finally had the guts to install this ROM. The ROM is nice but I had the same problems as everyone here but this rom seems to be the most progressing of all of thoses ICS roms out there. Good work :) I can´t wait to see newer builds! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Caner092:
I made my own Ramfix file but when i tried to flash it, gave me an error and says that Installation aborted.

(Status 6)

How can I fix it?

Edit: OK. I fixed it and it worked I have 855MB RAM now. It was about WordPad edit, I tried edit with notepad and worked.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sidVici0us:
It's simple, compile ... flash ... try
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Uh....no
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haxornator:
I haven't seen anyone mention the on off graphics glitch for awhile, does that mean it's resolved?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Than you don't see right. No, unfortunately it's not solved. People just do not repeat same, well known bug ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Either that, or by now it's a well-known issue so no need to mention it over and over again. :cyclops:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Haxornator:
From my standing I can't even use any of those libs roms because of it, so I don't understand how others are able to use these roms for days on end.

If it wasn't for needing to reboot every time my screen turns off I'd gladly use there roms, the bad battery life is a moot point because I never get more than 8 hours on a full charge no matter of it's cm 7, 9, or 10.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Houseplant:
The problem is that everyone is experiencing different issues. For me, this is a daily driver with a few occasional crashes and hiccups. The only pervasive issue I have is battery life. For someone else, they might not even be able to unlock the phone without a reboot or something equally severe. My experience has gotten better with each build so, with patience, I imagine more stable builds will be created. It's just the nature of the beast.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GTMoraes:
Looks fine, been running my phone on the edge, with screen on, wi-fi and trying to find some GPS sattelites, and it's on 70%, after 4 hours.

It didn't reboot one single time on my hands, although it reports only 300mb of RAM. I'll be installing the RamFix sometime soon.

My issue is the GPS side: It's lazy. It works, but only when it wants to.

Sometimes it locks on thousands of sattelites in a few seconds, sometimes it takes several minutes to find a single sattelite. I've tried using the Universal Radio and the 36p one, but no luck.

Previous ROM's didn't have a single problem getting sat info from where I'm staing (3 floor house, I'm on the 3nd floor with no buildings around).

Waze also seems unable to find the GPS, which is a big dealbreaker to me.

Any clues about what might be? Anyone experiencing GPS issues?

-------------------

When it does finnaly connects to GPS (Mostly by using a third-party program, such as "Gps Status"), Google Maps asks to "Turn on GPS and Mobile Network Location".

Clicking on "Settings", it takes me to the Location Access menu, which every checkbox is checked, and "Access to my location" is enabled.

I've also noticed that when GPS doesn't work, turning the screen off and on again is likely to make it "magically" find several sattelites.

(I'll be reinstalling the ROM, using this procedure:

factory reset\data wipe

Cache wipe

Delvik wipe

Flash the ROM

factory reset\data wipe

cache wipe

delvik wipe

flash ramfix

Fix Permissions

reset recovery

reboot phone )

Battery life and deep sleep keep getting better.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cailloup:
11h with 3G & wifi! New record!

What do you mean "deep sleep" getting better?

My phone goes in deep sleep while screen off, but I can't get more than 9h by doing nothing (screen off all the time)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Franklee99:
I notice you have very good mobile/cell signal. I believe this might be making a fair amount of difference in people's battery life.

How long could your atrix last with a cm7 etc Rom? (With similar screen stats etc)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rac!:
Hi guys,

Flash the 23/10 version, no more random reboots (always had them with all other versions)!!!

intl D version with ramfix, no sdcard, no sim, only wifi.

I had to go back to my SGS, when the atrix digitizer broke. And once you go GB you won't go back ;)

Now with the digitizer replaced, i'm waiting for GB to use the atrix as my daily phone again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
GB? Probably you mean JB ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
I switched to 2G as I was using WiFi all the time.

Good signal might be one of the reasons. But as I said, I was having similar battery lifetimes as for you a couple of recharges before. But as I kept on using the rom, it got better for me. The only change that I did since, was the 855 MB tweak for increased ram. I also removed most of the SetCPU rules because they were decreasing the stability of the device, too many reboots. Right now, I only have a screen off profile.

With CM7 roms I remember I was getting almost 10% decrease in battery every 4 hours with WiFi always on. Almost similar battery usage with the CM10 from epinter.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Can anyone tell me why does the keyboard crash so much? It is so difficult to compose a long email. The hung keyboard app causes force closes and sometimes reboots. Is it because of the hardware acceleration? Can we switch it to choose 2D libs?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Franklee99:
Thanks.

I might have to give it another try. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Enable everything (wlan, mobile network) in location settings. You don't really need to turn on wlan or mobile data. After that GPS accurate was correct for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mindstorms54:
maybe battery drian cause by 2g/3g signal...

today i forgot to insert sim

and i Unexpected found that battery life become much more longer

and my atrix did not get very hot anymore!

maybe youcan try to fix it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ingelectronico:
Hi, this finding is consistent with epinter's theory about Wi-Fi drivers being buggy. Maybe it's possible to use Wi-Fi and radio drivers from any other cm10 build.

Best regard

Try this http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fuzzypits:
I flashed the latest build and there's a bunch of pirating apps on it on fresh instal, lucky patcher, Blackmart Alpha, and some other apps I don't recognize.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rmkilc:
10232012 is a sketchy build. I consider 10212012 to be the latest build, and the one I recommend.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fuzzypits:
Yeah I'm going to switch over to that one. I disabled ~4 apps I didn't recognize and after that it got a lot smoother. Weird.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Houseplant:
Try them both. I had no luck with 10.21 and have had much better luck with 10.23. Everyone here is having different experiences so I wouldn't recommend going off of just one example. As for the apps, just disable them and you should be fine. No matter what, we're putting out data into the hands of anonymous individuals here ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I tested both the 21 and 23, both experienced reboots.

I was impressed that the camera and video recorder appeared to be working with no lag. I didn't record though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nghiemlong:
Where can I get GAPP for this one?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I just used epinter's found on on his web site and on goo (/dev/epinter). Seems to be fine and is 4.1.2 Atrix optimized.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrCoolBear:
I believe that the 23 build is actually just the 21 build with the pirating apps included. The build date on both is 10212012, so I don't think any updates were applied.

Sent from my Atrix 4G
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I believe that it's simply a build.prop edit by the dev but I would tend to agree with you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Cocolopes:
I need help to make the new ramfix for my atrix...I make the changes but the instalation abort...I have to put my cmdline file in the ramfix zip?...and edit the update scrip?...or just edit the scrip and leave the cmdline file from the ramfix original zip?...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pixut:
Still have tearing screen after unlock with latest version. So sad!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eddhard:
I compared the files and I'm sure the only real dif was the buildprop. I've merged it with the previous one and added other edits from various threads. I have promised to upload mine which I will do when I have the chance to edit in the various sources giving proper credit to the people who suggested them. I'm just really busy in the real world.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nghiemlong:
Could not understand why Corporate email with Exchange server doesn't work. With other ROM it works brilliantly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Houseplant:
Took my phone (on 10.23) about a day and a half to sync, but it finally did. Not sure where the hangup was, but it's definitely more problematic than before.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] consolation:
I hate to go all "chicken little" and report this, but I feel my cautionary tale might warrant telling...

When I first flashed the leaked ROMs all was pretty good except for poor battery life. Eventually, I flashed cm10 and tried to make it my daily driver; for a while all was well.

After about a week's use random reboots started to happen, accompanied by the phone going all Fukushima on me. I'd suddenly feel the phone start to get hot (regardless of what it was doing/sleeping at the time); with system panel you could watch the temperature climb till it'd reboot somewhere between 56 - 60ºC. Over time this became increasingly common, yesterday it got to a point that the phone wouldn't last more than one or two hours maximum. Flashing a clean install did nothing to alleviate the issue, even with no extra apps installed and only my main Google account added. I tried to switch to AtrICS 2.0, an improvement, but still reboots every couple of hours after thermal runaway. So, with great sadness, I went back to CM7 nightlies. :(

Here's the cautionary part. My phone had no problem using 1.45 OC kernels with undervolting. After my trip down leak lane, it has issues booting 1.3 kernels unless I heavily overvolt. It's stable with 1GHz flavours with much higher voltages than before, almost stock levels. I hate to admit it, running that leak kernel didn't do my phone any favours.

Luckily for me I'm swapping phones with a friend who only runs stock and doesn't care about custom odds'n'sods. She's upgrading soon and her phone is a real good overclocker and the same Tegra part as mine, so all good here. Nevertheless, I'm putting this is up as something to be considered: guess no one will be surprised, but if your phone is mission critical to your life, you may want to proceed with caution.
