[Motorola Atrix HD] xFajitas:
I had a Gs3 for about 2 months went on a camping trip had a hybrid jelly/hard plastic case

And that "thing" got slammed onto the dirt while jogging nearly died as it was a gift

And the screen broke of even with screen cover

On other hand I got my AHD since July 2012

And I love that phone but it lacked memory so what...I got a 32 GB ext SD card,

And talk about that sexy kevlar BACK!!

Feels very smooth to the touch

I even think the AHD is water proof because it fell in the sink twice

And the Devs have a life,they need a break can't just spend all their free time in android Roms,

It takes the time and skill,show some respect dude

With all due respect sir but, what are you doing in this forum section ?

It may be called xda DEVELOPERS, yet we are all here, aren't we?

I understand that you guys don't appreciate criticism, but if you are really only doing this for the praise maybe you should rethink why you are here.

BTW, I am on stock and intend to stay that way. I just hate hearing everyone say everything is fine and great when it isn't. Just because you like something doesn't mean it is better than it actually is.
[Motorola Atrix HD] wamsille:
If you are a developer, thank you for your hard work. You are doing something that I can freely admit I do not have the time or passion for right now.

Overall, the recognized developers here on XDA honestly do appreciate criticism, even when it is not always constructive. However, like all things in life you can overindulge a bit and dilute the meaning behind what you are saying. I flashed Carbon last night on my Atrix and it ran smoothly for the most part. Bits and pieces still need to be refined but in comparison to what was available a few weeks ago there has been tremendous progress. Aside from the random force closures and known bugs with 4.2.2 based ROMs on the Atrix HD it was a respectable build and close to being a daily driver.

Developers need time for research and testing before they come out with a finished product. You cannot fix all the issues in one night with one keystroke. Nightly files keep things fresh and squash bugs more quickly than they would with just a few silent beta testers. You have to respect the process and the people who are working hard to make this device, one that we all mutually use to some capacity, better than what it was.

If you want a stable, working ROM with zero issues you should flash the stock firmware and be done with it. If you require some further customization, you could root the device and remove or freeze all the preloaded software from the carrier. The Mexican retail build is clean and takes a little less time to slim down. You are limited to a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 base depending on the build you flash, but most apps do not have an explicit 4.2.2 requirement.

If you are not a developer, but offer to test and support ongoing projects you are in the right place. Not everyone can “cook” a ROM. If you lack the skills to build and refine your own ROMs but you can help troubleshoot problems, get involved and add your input. If you are more skilled at complaining and blaming others there are other places on the World Wide Web you could inhabit and contribute towards more effectively.

Well............................
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
There's constructive criticism, and there's "everything is half broken and it won't be good anytime soon" which is literally just whining without anything constructive to add. You could say they need to focus on these bugs instead of new features, or more concentrated effort and collaboration, or even more time and devs are needed, but you didn't. At least then you're not pointlessly yelling at volunteers.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
At what point did I say I only wanted praise? We've had the ability for Roms for 2 months. Give it some damn time. You sound like a whining ***** all the time, along with a couple others who don't have CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Just wah it's all crap and broken wahhhhh. Like I said before, help or keep your pissing and moaning to yourself.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Mister_Simon:
I don't understand how this thread got mangled up.

Both of your attitudes need a complete recheck. You are basically benefiting from numerous Devs hard work, FOR FREE.

By providing nothing to this forum you are in turn receiving updates and features. I personally have zero experience in this area but am taking an initiative myself.

The least you can do is to flash roms and provide constructive feedback based on your use.

Else you could still trade for the GS3 and go whine there. Your attitude is rotten and demoralizing to everyone here especially the devs.

Not being rude but these are the facts.
[Motorola Atrix HD] adamr240:
You get so butthurt everytime I post.

I am not a whining *****. Do I whine that there are no good ROMs? I don't think so. I posted in this thread because everyone was saying everything was good and the Atrix is better than the GS3.

Like I said, I am fine with the stock rom, I don't care. I didn't say the developers here suck. I know that we just got the ability to root and it is difficult device to work on.

What I said is this phone isn't and probably won't be on the same level as the GS3 anytime soon, if at all.

Why would anyone get offended about that?

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

I wouldn't spend so much time doing something on the internet and expect nothing but good to come from it. It is a stupid thing to do.

If the devs are demoralized by some folks making honest appraisals of the work, then they should probably go back to school and do something productive.

I hate the attitude of XDA in general that if you say something critical, you are a whiner that does nothing good.

See my previous post about my position on all this mess.
[Motorola Atrix HD] DesertHawk:
Because on XDA there are some weird people who get upset and offended by phones. It's like the phone manufacturer is their family business... And that they have to defend it even though the manufacturer doesn't really care about them... But they feel the need to defend a tiny little device...
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
That's especially true in the Motorola Forums. Most of us Moto users are Moto Fanboys :p.

While I agree with [MENTION=3232680]adamr240[/MENTION], the problem everyone else has is he's very negative and doesn't seem to post helpful negative criticism. Ya know, "Phone FC's a lot and this sucks as a daily"...or "there hasn't been any progress made" -- posts like that in almost every thread. If he'd up a logcat or last_kmsg the negativity could be overlooked, but its nothing but negativity.

Point is, our dev-team has made quite a bit of progress and we just don't like seeing them slammed because, well, they're our devs and without them we'd have nothing but ports and stock based roms. As for the GS3/AHD crap...they've had a 6 month head start and were unlocked from day 1. We've been unlocked for 2 months now and we're getting better every day...at the GS3 level, no, but we're getting there. Half our dev team I've been following for years and know that they're talented and will get us to where we need to be and don't like seeing them put down -- especially since when we're essentially in high alpah/low beta phase...crap doesn't fully work, FC's happen, we know, but we don't need it pointed out every other thread with noting to help or go by to help fix it.

I appreciate your comment...hit the nail right on the head :cool:
[Motorola Atrix HD] adamr240:
I don't have time to beta test ROMs honestly. I am a engineering student/intern and a parent. That is why I don't get on the threads and complain that they don't work. You guys may have misinterpreted me saying that the ROMs are broken as complaining, but I really don't care.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Are you sure you're not a whining *****? It sure seems that way. Skeevys comment confirms that. We don't get constructive criticism from you.

You know what? I am honestly tired of listening to you. I'm blocking you. And don't expect any support from me when you have issues. Good luck. And if you're only going to run stock and are sooooooo busy, I must wonder, why are you even here in the first place?

Good riddance.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Completely understand your reasons. PAC screwed me over back in the beginning more than once. I don't care either, this threads completely off topic and nothing but geeks bickering to bicker at this point....FYI, my 2nd or 3rd post on XDA and I was in your position getting flamed on because I said a rom was buggy...it was a beta version and I only meant it was too buggy for me for daily use....just a misunderstanding blown out of proportion.

Damn dude....
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
tired of it.:good:

man has no respect for others work and contributions. he kept egging it on. im done with him. we don't need people like that in our community, honestly.

i can imagine you were alot more respectful with your viewpoints as a newb bro... be honest.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
A bit...I did run that rom for a month after that, decompiled a ton of apks trying to merge some of the Defy GB smali with Bravo Froyo, posted a some logcats, tried different file combos the dev asked me to try....

That user that I was in the argument with way back when is the same one that talked me into getting an Atrix HD if you're curious. He said the scene here sucked and could use someone with a bit of experience. Looked up my available phones for upgrade and I narrowed it down to the AHD, the GS3, and the Xperia TL.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
well something good did come of it then. but you were *trying* to help and fix stuff. im.... not seeing any of that from our two trolls in the ahd section.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] 41.:
Before anyone asks why would I do such a thing, if it's even possible: Ubuntu webtop, and that's all. Now that that's out of the way...

I just bought this phone, believing it would come with Gingerbread. Well, I was wrong. Everything I read so far points that it's impossible to revert to GB, though I want to ask if that's correct even with recent advances before returning it to the store.

I read somewhere it might be possible to revert back to GB with Razr Utilty and RSD Lite... Does this work out? I'd like to keep to phone instead of returning it, if possible.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marconz:
Sorry mate its simply not possible to down grade on the RAZR at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dubisz:
Nope, it's impossible due to locked bootloader. Once you upgrade to ICS or JB, you can't go back.
[HTC Sensation] ClipTy:
Hey guys. Recently I have been wondering what's going on with.my Sensor. It used to work just fine until I started flashing new Roms. I had the sensor working on the default.CM 9.1.0 rom and I can't remember another rom it worked with. I now have ViperS 1.6.3 for Sensation. I love this rom, but I checked AndroSensor and the status for the ProxSensor always says "Waiting for event" I am not sure what to do here, my sensor just doesn't work anymore! Troubleshooting ideas please!

Sent from Ty's ViperS Sensation. A beast of a phone.
[HTC Sensation] murtazasamiwala:
Does the screen automatically turnoff when you take it close to your face on call....if so your proximity sensor is working...

Also there should be no issues in the sensor bcoz of VIperS rom....but if issue persists, full wipe and flash again.
[HTC Sensation] ClipTy:
I might need to full wipe.

Sent from Ty's ViperS Sensation. A beast of a phone.
[HTC Sensation] ClipTy:
So I did a full wipe, flashed a clean ViperS rom, and I still get nothing. Went back to my previous back up.

I have been reading all over the place and tons of people never even found a solution for said issues. I'm going to ask on the Viper thread.
[HTC Sensation] ClipTy:
Any ideas? Cmon. Someone has to know.

I have the same problem till Saturday. But I cannot post in the development thread and help to fix the problem.
[HTC Sensation] teeebor:
Ok,

First check this directory: /sys/devices/virtual/optical_sensors

If it does not exist, you have the same problem. But if the folder exist, just wipe the cache and dalvik
[HTC Sensation] x2ht1:
No don't have this folder, too.

Till yesterday I have tried a several things.

First my Rom is Dark Sense 3.6, Sultan kernel from DS Store revision15 office version, Firmware 3.33 with Patch to HBoot 1.29.

1. I have tried a another kernel, didn't help.

2. Install a nandroid, didn't help.

3. Do a full wipe and install the Dark Sense Rom again, and didn't help.

4. Copie the scripts from the other thread (01lightsensor..e.g.) to the init.d folder, didn't help.

5. Then I tried to copy the optical_sensors Folder directly to sys/devices/virtual and then I get an error! "There is not enough space" (0Bit Free). Mhhh..that's not normal. I have root and read write access!

6. I tried a CW10.1 Rom and it work, till after a reboot.

Now I have install my nandroid and the issues still exist. I don't want to change my Rom, I like it.

Hope my post helps to solve the problem.
[HTC Sensation] x2ht1:
Yesterday I decided to change my Rom to CM10.1 from Albinoman...

The sensors works with this Rom! After some testing time I come to the result: that's not my rom. The camera is really bad against the HQCamera 1.5.

There is no Beats Audio, Sony xLoud and Bravia Engine 2.

...I make a full wipe again ;)

Install my nandroid and the sensors still work :)

But I don't make a reboot. I thing after a reboot the sensor stops to work...
[HTC Sensation] teeebor:
So you find our biggest problem. We can't figure out why is this happening. Sometimes after wipe it works, sometimes other firmwares work and sometimes RUU or Rom change work. There must be a bug in the boot, and don't know yet how to fix it :/

Anyway thanks for reply :)
[HTC Sensation] x2ht1:
I thing the space is not the problem. It´s a virtual folder.

Now I can say Rom with Sense don´t work..

I have try a many roms (Elegancia, Dark Forest, DarkSense and the Stock ICS ROM 3.33.401.106). The sensors don´t work whith any of these

rom´s.

With other roms like CM9, CM10.1 or HyperSensation it works without issues...

I can post some pictures from my bootscreen log where you can see the error!
[HTC Sensation] x2ht1:
here is the pic

View attachment 2059400
[HTC Sensation] teeebor:
I see it returns 0, but why? When it fails it must return a specific error code exept zero.

So in CM all optical sensors must work? Hmm i try it, but my preferred Launcher is Roise because Beats audio and GUI

Tomorrow i will share the result :)
[HTC Sensation] x2ht1:
your right! normally there are the values from the light and proximity sensor. you see an errorcode he is at the line above.

The line isn´t ther when the sensors work! I thing he couldn´t open the driver, but why?

the app for the loading screen called "live dmesg lite" ;)
[HTC Sensation] teeebor:
It could not be a permission problem cause i fixed it. Maybe a malfunctioning driver that leave behind something that block the sensor's driver.I don't have a better idea.
[HTC Sensation] teeebor:
CM doesn't help. But somehow I could get it to work.

Here is the log when the sensors failed to start:

And when it worked:

edit

The columns are the following: Type - Sender - PID - Message
[HTC Sensation] x2ht1:
Till yesterday my sensor work, too. but he restarts every time.
[HTC Sensation] x2ht1:
after a week i can say that my sensors still work but sometimes the drivers restarts and then the sensors didn´t work.

The sensors still not working for me, but several days ago the proximity sensor lights up in red

SO,

I could take the peeling paint no longer, so I "fixed" it. Or at least I thought I had.

I took apart the unit, very timidly; everything came off but the buttons and what not. I used an old drywall (worn down) sponge, and kept it wet, sanding carefully. Cleaned often as I went, and wasn't too worried about surface scratches, as I was about to paint it.

BTW, the gold finish under that non slip coating is actually quite imressive.

Anyway, only the most advanced techniques, tools, and paint were used. See for yourself...

and yes, that is a roll of toilet paper!!! :lol:

Two days later, the rubber started to peel off. I used "Plasti-Dip" spray paint. I thought a rubber grip might be nice, since I work construction, and black is just plain cool. I tested the tool grip paint on a nokia 3595 dummy, and now I just can't get that **** off of it. I thought it would stick to my wallaby. Apparently, not. I used my fingernail to peel off a wear hole caused by my Al case, and just peeled off the rubber in a few large pieces. Anyway, I'm going to check into good primers soon. I think that the noslip coating that flakes off our units isn't the problem, but the foil finnish that just won't let anything adhere. Anyway, If you have a suggestion or comment, fire away. And sorry, the only digicams i have are a Sony T610 and a V300....

Thanks!

The above was a collection of my footnotes in getting CM 10.1 installed. There are bound to be errors and shortcomings. Corrections and additions are welcomed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jamus28:
Once you've installed internal CWM, you no longer need to boot with the sd. Just hold nook button and power from OFF.

I leave my sd card inserted (after deleting the boot files), and all my backups are on there. internal CWM can access that or my internal drive.

You may also want to add the easier method of making the bootable sd. If your cards larger than 4gb you can download the regular bootable-CWM-6028 and just drag and drop it to the card, then set it to active partition with windows admin manager.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
Does this process leave the internal storage as app storage and the micro sd card still for media ( like stock 2.1does)?

If you ever want to use your warranty from B&N, you need to register it at least once with them. They track warranty by serial number on their servers of those that have been registered.

First Newbie

Let me be the first real newbie to chime in here. First thanks for making this thread. I just bought a Nook HD+ and want to put CM10.1 on it, replacing existing software. I found the instructions on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263553

But they assume that the user has more knowledge than I have, so again I appreciate these more detailed instructions.

My question is this, are the files you mention to download the same as the ones that are mentioned in the other post? I ask because they appear to be different, and I want to make sure I have the latest software installed.

In particular, the other thread mentions that this one is the latest: cm-10.1-20130608-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip

Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Please forgive my ignorance in the last post. I assumed the files were different in this instructions because in the section where it mentions which files to download it doesn't mention: cm-10.1-20130608-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip

But I see now that it's mentioned that I would need that file further down in the instructions.

But now I have another question. These instructions say to use Win32DiskImager to put the image onto the MicroSDHC card. I assume that in order to do this you would need to have a MicroSDHC card reader. Unfortunately I do not. So I was hoping to perform this step while the card is in my Nook (or Galaxy S3) connected to my PC. Is this possible? I tried it and it doesn't seem possible. In Win32DiskImager after I select the image file I try to select the Device, but there is no drop down box (so I can't select the device).

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] e.mote:
The PC sees the Nook as an MTP device, which doesn't allow operations like format or image writes. I suppose you can download a terminal emulator to the Nook and try running dd, to write the image to the card--although I've no idea if or how that would work in Android.

The most pragmatic solution is to run down to any store (even Walmart) and pick up a microSD-to-USB adapter for a few bucks. You will need said adapter in any case for many other tasks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Erkdajerk:
Thanks given for an excellent job. :good:

This forum just took a leap forward in user friendliness thanks to e.mote !

Not to take anything away from Leapinlar and verygreen but the previous instructions were a little intimidating for a complete newbie. I'm a veteran of the Nook Color days and have been through a few installations of CM. Even I had to read and re-read the previous instructions carefully before feeling confidant enough to proceed.

I was actually thinking of contributing a User-friendly guide myself but I couldn't have done a better job than this one.

Between this and the great sale going on, hopefully we'll get more forum contributors and progress on CM for Nook HD+ can accelerate.
