[Atrix 4G Android Development] Drakonas:
I just built the latest kernel using mapkel's script, and now a new issue preventing me from using the rom at all has been introduced.

Upon first boot after installing the kernel, both after using the rom for a while and immediately after the base rom install before first boot (I tested both), the rom "Upgrades" (which from my understanding means rebuilding caches, or configuring apps for the new kernel most likely) and then immediately goes into what I call, "ADD Phone Crashing" mode.

Basically, a crash message occurs, stating "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped.", and within milliseconds after pressing "Ok", the message repeats itself, making an infinite loop. I sat there for half an hour attempting to clear the phone app's data by pressing ok, and navigating to the App Management in Settings, all within the 200 to 300 milliseconds (and getting shorter it seemed) of time between each message. This was frustrating beyond belief, and once I got to the Phone app... Settings doesn't ever show the app's info page... The app is crashing so much that Settings can't even get a hold on the app's info.

So, suffice to say, it is impossible for me to get a logcat with this problem. (And it still occurs after installing Google Apps package)

I haven't seen this problem since some random rom more than a year ago, and I had to reinstall to fix it, but this is upon a fresh install!

I tried deleting /data/data/com.android.phone/* manually with TWRP Recovery's file manager, hoping to replicate deleting data (I don't honestly know what deleting data does, but considering clearing data within the rom always clears the cache and the cache is in /data/data, this makes sense to me). Still didn't fix the problem, though.

I've used TWRP without problems with krystianp's CM9, and my TWRP is the latest version as of typing (2.6.0.0). If anybody has solid evidence that TWRP is probably causing issues, I'm all ears. I just don't like something as simple as the 5.0.2.7 recovery. I need something more...modern.

If someone knows of a recovery that is updated with a nice set of features and supports (or is built for) the Atrix 4G, I'd really be interested.

Not to be off-topic, but is CWM Touch Recovery any good for Atrix 4G? There's a build I found here. Can someone confirm that this doesn't support the /osh partition? I'm also wondering if that might be the problem with using TWRP (which doesn't support /osh to my knowledge), because every time I startup TWRP Recovery or

after

I install any zip (radio, rom, apps, kernel, etc. do install just fine) a message says this:

E:Unable to mount '/osh'
E:Unable to mount '/preinstall'

I used to see this message only once after fastboot erased those partitions. After I installed a rom, the partitions would be formatted properly.

Now I see it every time I start TWRP, and it bothers me. It even did it with CM7 based roms, so it doesn't make sense that a filesystem library is missing... TWRP changelog shows they've added even support for ExFAT, so I wouldn't think libraries for EXT4 (which I'm assuming most roms these days like to use, for performance) would be missing from it...

Edit: I just tried Smart Light Rom's latest release (2 days ago) with CWM 5.0.2.7, and I got major screen flickering as in Epinter's 7-20 release. Upon installing the latest kernel I had built earlier today, the infinite Phone crash loop still occurs. It seems the current kernel is at fault.

I'm going to check in on the checkouts of the GIT repo, and see if something has been pushed since then...

I have the US AT&T Atrix 4G if no-one noticed my Location.
