[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Thanks - Review & Queries

Thank your very much Wanggjghost (hit the thanks button as well). Most amazing experience.

Newbies adding note for your info - after selecting file in RSD, click decompress & flash tab rather than just the standalone decompress tab & also once phone reboots it will purely be in Chinese so just where you see a small triangle icon as a drop down box indicator, hit that and select English.

Guys, I hope many of you can answer quoting point no's (will be easy to refer & understand) I installed the OP file & have to state as follows "

1) I went through all 18 pages - who exactly has & on which page posted leak two? Also saw varied experience opinions on leak 1 vs leak 2 - I understand in leak 2 - GAPPS need to manually installed, what are the other differences, isn't the leak 2, since it is subsequent to leak 1, supposed to be better?

2) Wanggjghost mentioned "This is a test(maybe I should call it leak)one from China moto company(They said they will not release official ota/fastboot update for atrix2, but they released this one)" -

what is being implied here? is this a Cheesecake find in China (since he mentioned test, & also official JB update will not be released - how is this info of test & NO further official JB update being made available known?) Since this is official then why would FM, Swype, Quickoffice be excluded (I u/s alternatives available posted by our fellow users-appreciate) Also since official why bugs like GPS, Gallery, other FC's exist? Also the chip clock down to 1 ghz, why? Just looking for thoughts (no complaints)

My experience (based on installation on 7th Feb) :

1) No gallery, camera issue faced - Also the other camera icon does take picture at 8 mp with option to close shutter sound but when we click details in menu it causes FC everytime.

2) GPS did not get a lock first but after reboot and in the morning locked to my location but when I clicked Navigation though it shows my current location it shows status as searching for GPS. Will check further outdoors in full open sky view.

3) Call recording available, Firewall (call & sms) available, audible alert of charging complete and LED status on when charging and turns green when done. Many other nifty added features 1 % batt increment, auto phone on off timers, flip to silence calls, alarm available even if phone switched off, Profile Manager, Data Backup etc.

4) Smart actions is necessarily showing Chinese (two actions - these are Nighttime battery & battery extender which I came to know when I checked samples which show these two as added) however you can create your own blank rule & customize in English.

5) Under Settings > Language & Input > Speech> Text to speech output>Preferred engine 'Pico TTS' settings are grayed out & when I click 'Listen to an example' it always results in 'Unfortunately, Pico TTS has stopped. I installed the Speech Synthesis engine as well as English US & UK voice packs but to no avail & this results in no voice guided Navigation in Google Maps - Any help to resolve will appreciate much.

6) App called 'Number Location' in which under city it shows 'enter Chinese City Name'. It did identify a US number on Country level but for other no's it shows no results - Name of the app is self explanatory but would it only be for China number search use? It did not even identify 'Guangzhou' city??

7) Most important - What do you guys suggest as the best custom recovery taking in to consideration user 'Samir's' root method. I am personally planning to install BMM by 'Whirleyes' as you can use two ROM's. I had made my CWM ICS backup using 'Atrix 2 Bootstrapper (Nitro' so for future will it be a issue to restore just in case or can is it better to install BMM & make a brand new backup & then root using 'Samir's' file? What about 'Safestrap' (Hashcode)' & 'Bootstrapper (JY Daddy)' is not preferred by anyone running JB I suppose?

8) Has anyone installed & successfully running the following :

i) get init.d - based on apk program (i don't have the link readily available to post here though I have subscribed to it) - I suppose this is fine to install post root and post install of Custom Recovery - correct?

ii) Busybox (J rummy) - is it ok to install after root or before?

iii) Xperia launcher

iv) Lucky Patcher

I so wish the At&T gang was also part of this - would have seen much much more action & of course also for our brothers to enjoy JB. Already saw Jim's had enough porting this to AT&T :(.

Thanks for your replies in advance guys. Cheers!
