Good point,

Because I asked that question I got multiple responses which led to my full understanding of building the kernel.

Let's just move on.

This is the discussion thread. Everyone is free to discuss anything related to the kernel.
[Atrix 4G General] jhonnyx:
Guys: Quick idea: how about using IRC or join Moto-Atrix IRC channel? It would be pretty neat to exchange info and/or meet fellow thread mates. Yeah, it's way off topic, but a good suggestion ;)

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] Recon Freak:
that's an idea

But if the team is using that, it might be a distaction. I don't know if they are. If not have at it, but I look for my info on xda 'cause I can't be in a conversation long enough.
[Atrix 4G General] jhonnyx:
I mean to gossip and all that stuff, we can get on IRC without flaming the forum ;). I don't think the Kernel Team uses IRC to communicate. It's just an idea, not to kill the forum flaming with speculations and stuff
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
The team is using something else and what they are using is only accessible by the team.
[Atrix 4G General] Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV:
...kind reminder...

Might need to replace rmnet[0-3] drivers to /system/lib/modules/ as well

Those are the drivers for network if during 3G/4G :)

p.s. to be safe, you should replace EVERY .ko in /system/lib/modules/ after building a new aplha kernel :)
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Thanks, I did that to stay on the safe side.

After I made the boot.img I went to "/kernel-source/drivers/" and searched for all ".ko" files. Then I copied them all to my flashable zip under /system/lib/modules/
[Atrix 4G General] scanuto:
Do you think it's worth building the kernel in order to use only wifi, camera and voice call? Is it stable enough to perform those functions?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
No. Reports of CM7 battery life from some testers (including myself) are incorrect.

The battery life is not daily driver in my opinion.

However other than the battery life and all the [url"https://code.google.com/p/kernel-olympus/issues/list"]issues in the bug tracking[/url] it's nice.

And the camera is only at its initial implementation. It is slow and buggy.
[Atrix 4G General] Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV:
...the truth...

it is almost ready as an alpha release :)

I did keep on testing witth my CM10 & CM10.1 (without posting too much)

Camera & 1080p Video are all working great. Just no FLASH,(but TORCH is working) fromt camera still not working. Don't see any HWA problem in MX player, playing 1080p files from Camera in HW+ :)

There greatest fix is USB and wakeup, it is almost done, NO MORE trace icons after unplug, charging and mounting working flawlessly :)

PowerButton Reset to REBOOT, RECOVERY, FLASH is NOT WORKING, only to SHUTDOWN works...

CM10 (from Epinter branch) is ready (Can build it with this kernel, NO PROBLEM)

CM10.1 still have NO WIFI/BT, been testing for couples of weeks, still no luck, NEED HELP......
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Yeah hopefully epinter will be able to fix CM10.1 Wi-Fi. I guess it's not the biggest priority, but once it is fixed it will be just as good as CM10 other than Bluetooth.
[Atrix 4G General] Cocolopes:
Agreed on the battery...but the camera its working great here....;)
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Check latest commit ;)
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
I built the kernel with that latest commit and there is no graphical glitches on CM10 at all.

I just hope there is some breakthrough with the battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] tkirkland:
Is the battery life worse than on "that ROM"?
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
I think much better. In that ROM the battery drained just as much when the phone was asleep.

The battery life just isn't at the CM7 level.

Although battery life may have been a less important issue, at this point in time (in my opinion) it is more important of an issue.

The battery will not get you through the day.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Testing battery takes some time...
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Are you suggesting that there have been recent changes that have increased battery life?

Without doing a full battery cycle I can still see it is not near that of CM7.

I have seen your previous posts reporting CM7 like battery life. I thought so too, but it simply is not.

Especially after making a short phone call (which was very smooth; before, during and after) I noticed a significant drop in battery life.

Later tomorrow I should be able to do a full test of the battery. For my own purposes, but I will share my results.

The devs know of the battery issue. That is why there was an undervolt commit.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
I said that is hard to say anything about battery life just few hours after flash ;)
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Haha. I know I'm making a big deal out of it.

I added some stuff to that post just now.

I will try a full test tomorrow.

**But final answer for the top of page question: Yes, it is better than leaked ICS.
[Atrix 4G General] tkirkland:
My battery won't make it a day on any rom. Stock, cm 7, 10, 10.1, mrom... you name it. Always charge a bit during the day, evening and overnight. New battery, old battery makes no significant difference. Part of my problem is I work in a building that blocks cell signals most of the time so my radio keeps searching and the WiFi is weak at my desk...
[Atrix 4G General] odystyle:
Wow.... u guys are awesome :D

If only i know how to compile the kernel

And that would be awesome lol :p
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Well stay far away from this kernel then.

I suggest turning airplane mode on. Maybe keeping just Wi-Fi on? Use any CM7 and charge it full once a night. The screen on time is around 3 hours. But you don't keep your screen on constantly so that shouldn't be an issue.

This is very off-topic. PM me or post in another thread or section or something if you need more help.
[Atrix 4G General] Menthis:
Battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] aaurnab:
Here is IRC

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=moto-atrix
[Atrix 4G General] KCKitsune:
Why not turn on airplane mode when you walk into work and then turn it off when you leave? That's what I do and it works out pretty darn well for me.
[Atrix 4G General] predator13juve:
I think provide links to other forums this violation of the rules forum.I could get you kicked off the link in a PM but as long as the universe .no 10 of useful messages.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
No one will share the kernel here.

It's not that hard to build for those who are desperate to test it.

Honestly if you can't take the time to set up a build environment and build the kernel, you shouldn't be testing it.

Remember if you do build the kernel don't come here complaining about issues. That is what the test team is for.

One of the reasons why the devs haven't released a public beta is because they don't want everyone to continually report issues that they are aware of. By keeping the testing closed they can efficiently conduct tests.
[Atrix 4G General] aaurnab:
They are able to take the responsibilities.....
[Atrix 4G General] Cocolopes:
I think the public alpha will bring caos on the forum...maybe its better this way...

Everyone can see the progress made in this test by the devs....so waitimg some more time its not that bad. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] predator13juve:
Yes,I think that to the public beta is a little bit to wait.because for today the whole day testing Mrom the alpha kernel.and almost everything works fine!
[Atrix 4G General] saiftheboss7:
So battery life is one of the last barricade against the devs have to fight! Just keep up the good work guys! You guys will win :)

Kernel Issues

**********

Can anyone on the team confirm that the USB drivers are complete?

Also calling worked flawlessly for me yesterday. No slow wakeup or anything, so can that be changed from partial complete to fully complete?
[Atrix 4G General] Menthis:
I did not fully work USB. Sometimes it is necessary to go to the developers and to remove and put a check mark on against the "Debug USB"
[Atrix 4G General] predator13juve:
I have a usb connection worked.get two flash drive.adb have not tested
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
What ROM are you using?

I think that might be a ROM issue because on CM10 I don't have that issue.
[Atrix 4G General] Menthis:
I using MROM.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Weird. Well I guess I won't change the USB to complete.

Calling I think I will change to complete though.
[Atrix 4G General] zen25205:
Calling seems much better now but the signal dropped and data and calls were not possible until reboot. The phone had become disconnected from the network and it was not possible to connect until booted.
[Atrix 4G General] miray79:
I don't havet that issue. Running mrom..
[Atrix 4G General] zen25205:
For how long? How many calls?

Today I used it all day, after about 7 hours use and about 5 calls the signal was lost and reconnection to the mobile network was gone until I rebooted. Yesterday I used it also all day and it never lost signal so maybe it happens after a certain set of events which I have no idea what they are yet.

But the power is not right yet.. Takes ages to charge, uses too much battery etc... probably causing quite a few issues at the moment.

Despite the issues.... Progress is swift :D
[Atrix 4G General] Cab121:
Keep in mind the Atrix 4G never worked with cheep low quality usb cables. Better cables have all 5 pins connected at both ends. The phone is specifically looking for both + and +5 to be connected. Or you can just jumper them to resolve the issue.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Interesting, but I don't think that is relevant to Menthis' issue.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:

Blog Status provided by jjwatmyself:

Update 4/25/2013:

Greetings planet Atrix 4G. It's been a long road and I am writing on behalf of the Olympus Kernel development team who have informed me that a public alpha release is imminent. This is an exciting milestone because you too will be able to play Temple Run, watch AnTuTu draw 50,000 triangles, experience performance that blurs the lines between ginger, bread, butter, ice, cream, jelly and donuts. The key to this lime pie will be your understanding the current status and that there are risks. Call them the ten commandments or ten steps to having a finger print that may not work when we are done... or may be it will.

1) The kernel project waives any and all responsibility for damage to any and all devices, including your iPhone, your car keys, and your homework and your Dad's plasma. The builds provided are alpha, and represent danger. Permanent damage may result.

2) The public Alpha release will be based on CM9 (ICS 4.0), CM10 (JB 4.1) and available without restrictions. The developers plan to merge trees into the current CyanogenMod-Atrix and the release will follow quickly this work.

3) The FAQ thread (http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=40125786) is the place to post any and all bugs, installation questions or concerns. "Bluetooth..." "Wifi..." "I flashed and I can't..." "What about finger print..." "Webtop..." "What happened to my battery? (Crying)" "I flashed and it says..." "Can you lend me $5..." "How do you spell ACDC..." all belong on the FAQ thread.

4) The official testers are the gatekeepers for bug entry at http://code.google.com/p/kernel-olympus/. You can see who's who under the People link on the main page.

5) New bugs are subject to acceptance. If the bug does not meet the requested criteria on the Google form, it will be deleted. This means that our testers all have very sharp pencils. They are literally Ninja Warriors with one or more Atrix 4G to burn.

6) Priorities related to bug fixes, enhancements, direction of the project are determined by the developer team.

7) This thread is under strict moderation and serves to provide communication updates on the Kernel development. Hit thanks with confidence.

We are nearing a public release by the sounds of things. :good: :silly:
[Atrix 4G General] jhonnyx:
hahahahahahhaaha I love this crazy stuff
[Atrix 4G General] lowater:
has Temple Run or Temple Run 2 really been problematic on ICS and JB builds on this phone? I run Th3Bill's Liquid Smooth ROM and they work great.
[Atrix 4G General] thearcher4:
Public Alpha nearing! Wohooooooooooo :laugh:
[Atrix 4G General] predator13juve:

this is great news!!!
[Atrix 4G General] aaurnab:
I read with my wife and was crazy to ask something like that..... lolzzz...The Sun is Rising...

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] thearcher4:
Following the development of this phone has been more exciting than choosing to buy a new ICS/JB phone. Ups and downs, breakthroughs - it's been great!

The developers have been extraordinary. So big thanks to them for all their time and dedication to keeping the Atrix still alive and kicking! :D
[Atrix 4G General] samiam21:
Is there going to be a collaboration on a rom, too?

Gesendet von meinem MB860 mit Tapatalk 2
[Atrix 4G General] cpanos:
Most likely this project will stir up some interest that will lead to several roms. Unofficial ports of mainstream roms like CM, AOKP, PA, will hopefully follow when the kernel hits a stable version.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Yeah, at this point in time it is rather pointless to port new ROMs.

CM9 and CM10 will both be released when the public alpha is ready.
[Atrix 4G General] NooBs7yL3:
at kernel end, there is a possibility to have a ICS or JB rom with webtop or something else for using the lapdock?

Inviato dal mio MB860 con Tapatalk 2
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Feasible, but as many have said it is up to the ROM devs.

What is most likely is a function that gives a full HD tablet UI when HDMI is plugged in.

But in conclusion it won't come any time soon. Stick with GB for now.
[Atrix 4G General] estrangeiro:
You also forgot about "What happened to my touchscreen? It's dead on Start..bla bla bla" :D

no info about this issue in development section :(
[Atrix 4G General] zen25205:
Nobody else reported this so is probably your build thats the problem... I have built various versions of the kernel and never had any touchscreen issues! Check your steps and try again :)
[Atrix 4G General] vicfuze:
Touchscreen problems

I also am testing two Atrix 4Gs, an AT&T version and an International version. The AT&T version does not have any touchscreen issues and multitouch works with 5 fingers. My International Atrix can only handle two fingers touch and then goes crazy, but works on GB 236/CM7/JB kernels.

The touchscreen goes dead at boot on ICSROM leak kernel and also with this new 3.1 kernel I built to test. Some setting seems to cause issues with this International Atrix, so strange. Another strange symtom is it takes two power cycles sometimes of the phone to bring the touchscreen back and working (I use TouchRecovery). Not sure how to debug this one...
[Atrix 4G General] zen25205:
Odd indeed, my international UK atrix does not have any touch issues, everything runs well with latest Kernel.

Only showstopping issues I have are:- loss of signal requiring reboot, slow charging and fast battery drain. Everything else is working .. at least enough for a public alpha/beta/whateva :D

I have made some potential art for the project. I can change the text if the name poll somehow doesn't come out to be "Phoenix Kernel". Feed back? :fingers-crossed:

He's offline now, but I sent supermalloch a PM suggesting to make a new thread for art; ideas and such.

If he makes it I will put it in the OP of this thread.
[Atrix 4G General] Cocolopes:
Just an idea....I think before we make a thread like that....we need to know the kernels name....phoenixs its just one of the names....and the devs have the final word on the name. :good:
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Yeah, good point. I was thinking that people could make designs with multiple names in such a thread. It would be similar to the kernel name thread you made, but instead it would be kernel concept art or something like that.
[Atrix 4G General] Cocolopes:
Yes I know...its a good idea...(I have my art waiting for that thread....XD) but if we have a definite name....it should be easy and more organized.

[Atrix 4G General] kingbobski:
Does anyone know if the Kernel will work on the leak if I compile it ?
[Atrix 4G General] zen25205:
I believe it should... but leak wouldn't boot for me.
[Atrix 4G General] kingbobski:
Hmm a while ago I complied and it wouldn't boot on leak either, Hope it will work in the alpha/beta! I need the web top really :/
[Atrix 4G General] Cocolopes:
Same here its not booting...but if you want webtop...stick to the stock roms...in the leak the webtop have resolutions problems and is more like a tablet UI. Nothing like the GB webtop.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Yeah the leak with the kernel isn't working.

Just use MROM and the kernel, that is what it was primarily tested on.
[Atrix 4G General] quetzalcoatl2435:
Leak ROM is a blur ROM. You need a blur kernel for that.

Blog Status provided by jjwatmyself:

Update 4/27/2013 12 noon US eastern:

Greetings Planet Atrix 4G. It's been a whirlwind for the team over the past 48 hours with much positive progress. Everyone is pulling hard and the team effort is really paying off. Yesterday, there was some major work on building accuracy on status of issues, and their prioritization. The priorities at the present time are working on understanding battery usage and classifying bugs. It's imperative to understand that this is an alpha rom and that it is not a daily driver. Seriously, this is for testing on your spare Atrix. Our testers have been known to use an XDA issued hard hat and goggles (that's Goggles, not Googles for the non English speakers). Alas, a public alpha link has not been posted for these reasons, but it is so very close. Plus the XDA issued hard hats are only available in pink. To the Android software developers in our Atrix 4G community, that are patiently waiting for news on this release, we are excited that the public release is so, so close and hope that this renewal in the foundation can become the basis for additional ROM development work. To our larger community, your support continues to be epic and it is your continued interest in the work of the project developers and testers that fuels many late nights and long days. Hold onto your seats, it's going to get faster and more furious! Planet Atrix 4G will truly be amongst us soon.
[Atrix 4G General] kingbobski:
Soo there isn't really a chance at getting the leaked ROM to work on this kernel ?
[Atrix 4G General] BigJeff:
I'm confused, does the "somebodies cm10 with those libs" work or not?
[Atrix 4G General] palmbeach05:
Will the kernel work with AtrICS v2.0 or is AtrICS v2.0 considered a blur based ROM?
[Atrix 4G General] Cocolopes:
Not booting for me....I try tah....but I think it will be working.....some day....
[Atrix 4G General] BigJeff:
Really? I tried flashing it, and then the kernel and it just boot loops? However I know the kernel is built right because it boots on mrom...?
[Atrix 4G General] jhonnyx:
Maybe you need the ramdisk from the leaked cm10
[Atrix 4G General] quetzalcoatl2435:
MROM is CM9. You need to compile the kernel for CM10.

power consumption

I installed the kernel and deactivate the camera,to save battery life.but energy consumption remained the same.for 6 hours in sleep mode,it took 23 percent.
[Atrix 4G General] jhonnyx:
make sure you've used mrom2_defconfig
[Atrix 4G General] Richy87:
I know. If you look at the bug list, bug #41 a tester reported an excessive power consumption even with the latest, camera deactivated, kernel. He talks about 20% o battery drain in 5 hours without SIM and bt,gps,wifi off
[Atrix 4G General] jhonnyx:
So, the battery eating bug still remains. Please kill it with fire :)
[Atrix 4G General] predator13juve:
when this problem is that the kernel can be used every day.but so far,the kernel still raw.but the productivity of the kernel at a height of:highfive:
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
Honestly as soon as the battery life is improved this will be fine for a daily driver.
[Atrix 4G General] Richy87:
I agree. The other high priority bug #3 can be solved disabling, in the power shoutdown menù, the entry for Reboot and Recovery

I can totally live without them!
[Atrix 4G General] zen25205:
Data is still an issue for me. Most of the testers don't appear to have seen this bug but it happens to me twice, every day. After a few hours of 'normal' use with some calls and some apps using background data the phone loses data connection and has to be restarted. As I rely on the data connection for some apps it's a big problem for me!

If the testers don't see this before the public release I'm sure it will get fixed quite quickly if it's a problem for more users :)
