I read this rom updated on 2013.06.11.. What are bugs still found in this current update ?

Can you pls post download mirror . I am getting less speed:D

Anyone experiencing battery drain??..mine lasts less than a day with average use..
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
Not really, lasted more 1day 3hrs with 5hrs of screen time.. I do have an extended battery though..
[Motorola Atrix 2] turffe:
If you have big battery drain try this steps.

1. Download CPU Sleeper from Play Store & choose run on boot up & start service

2. Change CPU Governor from Interactive to Hotplug.

After that my battery drain mush slower & I can use phone in Wifi for about 1 day.

This metod helps on non-kexec roms...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Is it just me or did pa remove mass storage mode in the latest one? If it is pa's work, I really hate it..
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I might have done that..:p I somehow lost UMS in all of my recent source-built ROMs. But, MTP seems to be working better..(?) Might be something in the STS repos I am using - or something I changed along the way.. Not really sure yet.

Also, looks like I forgot to fix the soft-key button backlights again in my working dircetory, but I think PA may have finally fixed it in the jellybean-legacy branch.

Been taking a little break from it all, but I'll dig in and build again soon...
[Motorola Atrix 2] turffe:
USB

I also missed usb mass storage. Then I plug usb in phone turn on/off mass storage window doesn't pops it just stars charging & other mode (looks like MTP cause I see MB865 in My Computer). Maybe its posiblle to restore it? Will replaccing usb.apk enough to restore usb pop-up?
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Have you tried tapping on the MTP(connected as media) notification and select mass storage from there??
[Motorola Atrix 2] rohanprashanth:
Battery is draining very fast

Thanks for an awesome ROM.

Only issue I am facing is The Battery is draining very fast.... like I lost 25% in an hour without doing anything.

I can live with UI tearing but Battery is killing me.

Please help me fix this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Same here..been on the rom for almost a week now:confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
I get good battery life. You might have a wakelock somewhere. I dont worry about wakelocks because i dont donwload many apps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] turffe:
If you get big battery drain, you coul try my steps:

1. Download CPU Sleepers service & activate it on boot + run service.

2. Download any CPU OC app & change governor to Hot Plug.

3. Reboot to bmm & wipe battery stats.

Note: After this Android OS is also taking about 20%, but I get about 1.2%/hour & Deep Sleep bar in CPU Spy is much bigger... :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Updated. See changelog and/or try it.. (still for ICS kernel only! - no kexec here yet)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I need a well-seasoned kexec user for testing, please... PM me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] QX&Navis:
i wanna try it! my phone work with Mokee RC2 very well.;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] iamezio:
It doesn't work at the moment.. so no point in trying.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Updated non-kexec version... and the kexec version is getting closer..
[Motorola Atrix 2] CM-PRo:
Kexec version is getting closer? You mean there is still hope?? All hail the Atrix 2 devs!! :D

Keep up the good work altered! We non-kexec guys couldn't do without you. :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gekass:
The new update improved my antutu result by 500 pts (7991)

Thank you.

Btw,

What governor do you guys use? I'm currently using hotplug.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
I use smartassV2, battery + performance is the best so far for me on stock 1ghz and even on 1.2Ghz..

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Downloaded the latest build from Google Drive in 1min flat !! haha.. >_<
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Any kexec reject available for test???

Hashcode needs testers for a possibly fixed kexec kernel..

Those who can test right away PM me..

Edit:Tests are over now.Thanks to those who tested.Sorry but no good news yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jharn06:
Hi atrix fam.

When ever I try to edit or open contacts I get a fc.

I am on PA 3.65

I can access through phone app now and then any ideas?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nicolas250:
I have the android 4.2.2 with this rom without rooting, someone could help me root?

link to download files?

Tahnsk
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
This is pre rooted. Infact all ( or most) of the custom ROMs are pre rooted!

You'll find the Super user in settings.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nicolas250:
Yes, Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] nikhJ:
GPS is not working for me... but everything else is fine.. Waiting for pa 3.67
[Motorola Atrix 2] nma83:
Same here, was wondering if I was the only one facing that issue. altered, can help with any specific section of logcat if needed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Hmmm.. Oops? I will look into it and post a fix.zip soon.. No need for logs - thanks though.

And PA is up to 3.68 actually.. but I have a strange issue with all of my recent builds - SystemUI is broken :\
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
GPS FIX.zip attached to the OP.. I apologize for any inconveniences..
[Motorola Atrix 2] nma83:
Thanks for the response altered. But still not getting a GPS fix. GPS status app now shows GPS is On but no satellites in view. Of course, everything's fine when running stock.

If its of any help:

Stock logcat | grep -i gps @ http://pastebin.com/9ZLq8hd4

PA logcat | grep -i gps @ http://pastebin.com/xAfPhRxp

Thanks,

NMA
[Motorola Atrix 2] SMONDAL84:
Download GPSFIX app from playstore and let it run its course. That did the trick for me.

[Motorola Atrix 2] nma83:
Tried that too, but no luck :(. No lock even after a long time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
New 3.68 non-kexec build is up.

See here for a nice changelog: https://plus.google.com/u/0/107979589566958860409/posts/5Tp3aFVrHkP

(except I did not include the Paranoid OTA yet (and not sure it will work with our recovery yet either).. And this build is a couple commits behind the current jellybean-legacy branch.. And I had to add the hdpi resources myself - they only included them for xhdpi so far).

Also, a note about the GPS signal: I put the default server to the global pool (NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org) - you may want to edit it (/system/etc/gps.conf) to your region - search around for how to do that if need be.

And, I guess I'll copy this note here also:

**INSATLL THE LATEST VERSION (3.68) WITH

BMM ONLY

!!** (and there is no recovery switch included - PM me if you really need it)
[Motorola Atrix 2] nikhJ:
Awesome work altered ...was waiting for this ...so GPS by default will not work o. this ROM right??...
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
GPS should work by default..

You might just want to tweak the .conf for your region to possibly help get a quicker fix
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Cant wait to see ur pa rom shine with kexec
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Wish there were settings on here like, battery, clock and signal options. I have no service on here so seeing the triangle in the upper right makes it look ugly :(

Edit: glad to see you still around altered! Was gettin kinda worried lol :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] nicolas250:
is the gps fix into 3.68 version? or i need patch

thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Fixed. No patches needed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nicolas250:
hi

i have the oficial att rom.

with th e atrix2bootstrap i use the recovery

can i flash the 3.68 version??

how to i can install recovery with the 3.68 rom?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
The OP. you never read it?

It's to be flashed with BMM.

BMM stays as recovery by default. No need to install any recovery after that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nicolas250:
thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
It's done. :D Paranoid with custom kernels...

Good thing, since I accidently deleted my entire pa directory with the former nokex versions from goo.im :derp: (the mirrors are still on my Drive)

Oh, and since 4.3 is on the way... good thing to be ready.

Enjoy. I know I will... ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
It's time to get back to PA again :cowboy:. Thanks a lot altered for your dedication. :good:

Looking at the issues list i felt glad actually, finally the few points which restrained this rom from th others had been taken off.

It's time to see what the PA is fully capable of. It is my very first ROM. And it is the most stable by far.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DemosZevasa:
In call dialer is not working :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I will look into it
[Motorola Atrix 2] paleozord:
***************************

ISSUES

- PA Preferences don't stick - a fix is coming

-in call dialpad not working

-in call volume adjustment not working

-System UIDs issue.. causes no major instability that I can see

-etc..

***************************

Does this mean that HDMI out is now working on this ROM, since it is no longer listed under issues?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
No it doesn't.. HDMI is still an issue for all Moto devices and custom-built ROMs, as far as I know..

And looks like my in-call issues are in each of my new builds. On the plus side, once I figure it out, the fix will be for all of them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iamezio:
Actually, there is a few devices with working HDMI on custom roms , one of them is the old XOOM , another is the Razr HD .
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yea, and I believe that both of those devices have unlockable bootloaders..
[Motorola Atrix 2] iamezio:
sadly .. thats true .
[Motorola Atrix 2] filip990:
Are we still limited to 480p or we can record in 1080p now? i was absent lately...

I just saw the kexec fix. So I flash this rom, and after that do I need to flash JBX kernel or not?
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Pretty sure you dont flash JBX. Just ROM→Gapps→Reboot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Updated. With fixes. See OPs
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gekass:
Are all the versions from now on will be kexec based? Means those who do not wish to flash the kexec, "stuck" on version 3.68?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nikhJ:
Yeah I guess we will have kexec versions only now...but why don't you want kexec... Its now fixed ...no black screen bug and no ui tear now...so there's no point of having non kexec now
[Motorola Atrix 2] nikhJ:
I have an issue with Bluetooth... I can't send apk files ,any apk files can't be sent... While on the previous versions I could... Is this a bug??
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gekass:
Guxess I'll give it a try
[Motorola Atrix 2] Tushcool:
downgrade

I am on Jelly beer now, Can i downgrade to jelly bean 4.1 using RSD lite ? or need to go on ICS first ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nma83:
Bootloop after dirty flashing 3.69 (28th July)

I had my first flashing casualty today after flashing 3.69 28th July kexec version. I flashed it on system 3 which was on 3.68 earlier. I flashed ROM, gapps and wiped cache and dalvik cache.

The first reboot came up fine. Wifi was not working, so ran wifical.sh and rebooted. Once I selected system 3 in the BMM menu, the green LED lit up for a while and phone rebooted. This happened many times, was unable to boot 3.69.

Then I reflashed 3.68 on the same system followed by gapps, wipe cache/dalvik. This time it booted into 3.68 properly.

Will try putting 3.69 on a new system. As a side note, I am using Jellybeer on system 4 and it works on every boot (had to do wifical.sh there too the first time).
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
For the record when the above happens again just pull out the battery and boot again.It'll boot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nma83:
Thanks for the suggestion devesh, will try it. I thought battery pulls were a thing of the past now that kexec boot issues have been sorted out :).

EDIT: Just curious, what's the cause of this issue?
[Motorola Atrix 2] iamezio:
Is it possible to get OTA updates , without an actual custom recovery ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Updated again. Fixed USB mass storage mode. In notification shade, click mode.. Then again in notification shade, click to transfer files..

[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Alter is doing work my friend lol. So when are the official builds gona start rolling in?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
When all of the kinks are worked out and it can be built by a machine :)

Actually, I don't think the PA team uses a build bot or does nightlies.. But I will work on the officiality of edison and the spyders.

Also, they are moving to JB 4.3 right now, so most likely we are going to have to play catch up again with the legacy devices.

And I only updated this again because I wanted to try those UMS cherry-picks - and it worked (I'm rebuilding for the spyders also).

[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Really glad to hear that man. Your Rom runs smoothly! Keep up the good work!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Daiskei:
Hey guys! Any way to overclock this rom to like 1.2ghz or so?

Just saw the JBX Hybrid kernel... Nevermind! Lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iamezio:
Install latest JBX - Kernel
[Motorola Atrix 2] androiddecoded:
I am unable to allocate more than 1 gb to data.img while using BMM. I am currently on JB 4.1 leak. Is there any method to allocate more space to data.img? I want to install PA 4.2.2 but 1 gb is too less to install all the apps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
I put my pa on slot 1 and it works great for me. I even installed the big gapps package
[Motorola Atrix 2] androiddecoded:
So you don't have stock moto rom installed? In future, how can I revert back to stock rom if I install PA on system 1?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nikhJ:
You'll have to fxz to ICS if you flash pa on system 1...I too have pa with jbx kernel on system 1
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
I just reflash stocky ed on system 1. Thats how i go bck to ics. Keep numa on slot 2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Due to popular demand and my own curiosity, I put up a non-kexec version of the latest build. BMM only, and no recovery switches..

And, yes, in-call volume adjustment works in it.. :\
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheeta123:
Please someone answer my this question related to PA on My Atrix 2

Alter, can i update to gapps 4.3 via ota?

I'm using the latest nokex version
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I would say probably not. I haven't tried, but those are 4.3 specific..

Soon enough we'll have a need for them ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Daiskei:
As far as I can tell... The Non-Kexec version really only has an issue with ui tearing... I just figured I'd toss that out there. Is there any workaround for this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Kexec..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Daiskei:
Thought that was the case... My boyfriend's device gets constant black screens when receiving most calls while on Kexec though. Guess it's back to ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nicolas250:
Hi

What is the different in NOKEX and not nokex rom??

thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
The difference is NOKEX is all capital letters and nokex is all small letters :P

Its kexec and non kexec.

Kexec boots up custom kernel, non kexec runs on stock kernel itself.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nicolas250:
JAJA!!

thank you!

:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Its a good thing that you decided to support non-kexec version of this ROM, battery life on kexec ROMs are very poor I can get only about 18-20 hrs max with/without oc. Maybe I am not using the right settings, though I did try with different settings. I can get 2days on non-kexec with ease. Will you supporting the Alt-CM10.1 as well, just curios :).

Thanks Altered for your thoughtfullness :).
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Wow..18-20 sounds good to me, even on stock kernel.. But my battery life has always been piss poor.

And as for the alt-cm10, I was hoping to be at least booting a rough version of jb 4.3 by now.. But with all of the internal changes, it's proving to be difficult (to say the least)...

So, maybe I will find some time to try and de-kexec my last cm10.1 build.. But, I will be busy with non-android life soon and probably not building so much anymore. We'll see.. I got cm10.2 and pa4.3 sources all synced up (and plenty of failed test builds). Maybe I'll spit out a last round of the 4.2.2 builds...

[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
And.... Hashcode saves the day. He booted cm10.2 last night on edison and pushed some new commits.. Stay tuned folks...

[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
Kexec based...??? :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yes, of course. I can't imagine Hash hacking away at 2nd-init to get it booting on the stock kernel..

Why the frowny face - is that a bad thing? We can try to de-kexec things later..

Sent from my em bee eight sixty-five
[Motorola Atrix 2] nma83:
That is just amazing! I would have done away with my A2 by now if not for the brilliant support from various devs here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
I thought kexec was more battery efficient and expected to get better battery life, but was very disappointed. Guys don't get me wrong and I don't mean no disrespect to the devs, as always I appreciate all what you guys do here. Its just my expectation, guess its too high. :)

Looking forward for your 4.3 builds, thank you. :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
I'm staying away from kexec same reason as the guy above mentioned about the battery drain...

Thought custom kernel will boost the battery backup , but it isn't at par even as for now (for me at least) ....
[Motorola Atrix 2] SMONDAL84:
I found an interesting observation on the latest nokex build. The software menu button has disappeared from applications (checked WhatsApp, playstore etc) . I have fiddled with the setting of persistent menu button, but could not bring it back. Has it been turned off, or am I missing something?

Awesome news! Cant wait until edison runs this!
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowenby:
I can't believe you are still developing for us Altered!! :D It's been a while since I've checked in (~2 months), and didn't really expect any updates as the device is well past end of life (per att). There's two things keeping me from upgrading to the S4 Active: You and the price of repairs (it costs me $30 to replace a broken screen right now :))
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Well, my power button is being held on by tape.. And I'll be getting a new phone sometime before the end of the year.. So, not sure how much longer I will keep it up.. But, for now, doing this stuff is a fun challenge for me.

And, of course I am happy to be running the newest versions of android on this phone that's been EOL'd.. :)

Long live the legacy device!
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
And, I'm uploading an alpha build for release... check the md5 sum on goo.im before downloading.

pa_edison-3.96-20130812.zip: 56435e3e2ebf5e3f68739802f4f5a390

Make sure to install on a clean system (wipe data first) - use BMM, and a non-main system preferably. And, install a 4.3 Gapps package.

Most things work.. some things don't.
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
So its here, that was really fast! Downloading now, will keep you updated.:good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Wait.. It wasn't fully uploaded 10 minutes ago.. It is now. Check the md5 sum of your download...

Been running this rom and it is awesome man! Overheat seems to be an issue but no biggy.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Try turning off mobile data... It should cool down.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
I did. It helped. Like i said..its no biggy lol. Been running this rom longer than others
[Motorola Atrix 2] nikhJ:
Pretty stable considering its alpha... And I'm experiencing lags at times... And yeah I haven't experienced any bugs other than those listed in the op ...Great work altered
[Motorola Atrix 2] DemosZevasa:
Actually feels faster than the 4.2 builds and also better battery life..

Anyone else having wifi refresh problems.? I went and started clean again and still it will not see new networks. I was not heating at all but only had 3G connection. Smooth and fast great battery life .
[Motorola Atrix 2] marcher233:
Is this PA rom compatible with ME865 (the asian version)?

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] DemosZevasa:
I'm am 90% sure that yes.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
Be 100% sure :thumbup:

It's kexec, so doesn't matter whichever base he has ( ICS/JB leak ).
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I'm about 98.6% sure myself... With a 1.4% margin of error :)

If it's installed with BMM on a non-main system, the worst that will happen is it won't boot.. But I'm fairly certain it will.
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
You guys do realize that Jim already has a swarm of testers right? And the constant nagging to release is driving him crazy right? And he plans on releasing very soon, as he has stated....

I'm just trying to give the poor guy a break, not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, its just every time he mentions his ROM everyone climbs up his leg looking for it, and he might have more time to get it right if we would all just leave him alone ;)

Also all browsers are funny with this ROM, is a known issue, I'm sure it will be worked out...
[Motorola Atrix 2] MDMonster:
I get that issue with a launcher lagging on this ROM and with MagicMod. Instead of a reboot, just go into your 'manage apps' area, click the launcher your using, click force stop, then just hit home to make it "restart" the launcher per say, and all is good again.

Sent from a paranoid Atrix 2
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
I wonder what's different about the a2's, or what app u guys are maybe running that causes this, cause I'm on my 3rd a2 and never experienced this on any ROM, including a beta of Jim's liquid from a while back before stuff got fixed...
[Motorola Atrix 2] NHS2008:
Thanks for the tip! :good:

I think this issue starts up when you start filling in apps. I remember someone had this issue on stock ICS when he installed more than 40 or so apps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Ok... So, now I understand why it's probably best not to release an alpha version..:eek: (and a ;) @ jim & cogeary).

Yes, there are a lot of bugs (but nothing that dramatically effects my daily use) - some are specific to this ROM, some common among the Moto JB 4.1.x/CM10 source built ROMs, and some strange random ones.. I appreciate the comments about the bugs, and am taking note. I have plenty of logs and ideas, just not a lot of free time since releasing it.

That being said - either please be patient, move on to another ROM, or contribute to fixing it... (or make your own entirely)

And with that being said - my main goal was to get PA running on my phone - well, here it is so far.. take it or leave it.

Also, thanks to those who are helping with the random questions and comments in this thread.

Merry holidays... (have an italicized one.. :D)
[Motorola Atrix 2] daavvis:
It truly is a nice ROM, I would have stuck with it if it wasn't for the browser issues.... I'm gonna take a look at the oc this week, I'll have quite a bit of time...
