[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Thanks you for expressing your thoughts Az, very much agreed with all of your points.:cool: As much as I don't like to say it, it seems this might be the A2's final days of keeping up with the status quo... (About to go really off-topic now)

I say this because even over the last few weeks of the month, I went back to try working on Safestrap to try to make some sort of progress. I've went out to ask persons like stargo, wang and other device supporters who are familiar with ss for help, with only getting a helpful response from stargo and wang. I've tried their suggestions, along with other things I've researched over the net and EVEN THEN, nothing changed!:mad::banghead::banghead:

I'm a very stubborn person, but after working almost 3 months on safestrap and not one LP rom boots, I think you get the picture. In other words, I'm no longer going to work on safestrap anymore (idk about the others). However, like Az said, despite being locked out of LP our device is still one of the best locked bootloader devices anyone can own.:D

And here's one for the ones who were bellyaching for an update; do you honestly think that Android 5.0, which has forced SELinux that might completely disable root one day and which is why we can't boot the roms, will fix anything from previous Android versions? Also there are devices that have a lot of activity and don't even have any KK roms. Please let that sink in.;) Thank you all for your encouragement, I'm going to take a break for a while.

I am having Lollipop in my MotoX 2nd Gen since almost a month and believe me, it has even f**ked a beast like MotoX which was running super fast during Kitkat days, think what would it do with the humble 1.0 Ghz dual core OMAP of the Atrix2. It seems fluid in some areas but lags during some other tasks. And basic apps like phonebook, message or phone still open with lag in the Lollipop. There is a long way to go for Lollipop, its nowhere near to stable and quick Kitkat.

I have run Kitkat ROMs on ART and my conclusion is that the Atrix 2 can't handle ART better, dalvik is better suited for it and there is no choice of runtime in Lollipop, ART is default there. RAM consumption definitely reduces but it demands more CPU juice during app start-up. If you want to feel Lollipop then switch the runtime to ART and get some Lollipop launcher or tweak your Nova Launchers to match Lollipop theme.

Lollipop is exciting only till we are not having it. Once we get it, all the excitement goes away. There are few improvements in the Lollipop but it comes with equal number of drawbacks and it's own bugs.

Kitkat and JB-leak ROMs are running smoothly on the Atrix 2. I have rather stepped back and flashed JB leak in my Atrix2 which is now being used by my wife because better battery backup was priority and JB-Leak is doing the job better in that department along with smoother operations.

I love Android for it's power but my opinion about its performance is not good. Android is rather degrading with every new version if we talk about operating smoothness. Froyo and Gingerbread used to be fluid in true sense. Apps opening behavior used to be smoother like iPhone, just fluid. If you guys happen to see some old Motorola phone having Motoblur in 2.X ROM then see how fluid they used to be. For example try out a Defy or Atrix 2 with stock 2.X ROM, they will feel fluid and smooth. Unfortunately its not the case with today's Android versions. Everything feels jittery. There is feel of raw power but smoothness and fluidity doesn't exist.

I thought Lollipop will change the perception about Android but Google missed it big time. There is still a long way to go before Android can be called a 'smoother' OS, its just power of various Google services which we have got used to of and enjoying during daily day usage.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
On POINT!!

Jack, your post was an excellent expansion on the point I made in the paragraph you quoted, very well said!:good: It's true, even though I'm still newish to the android universe (almost 2 years) I've seen that very trend happening in relation to our device and later ones. Google just seems hell-bent to primarily cater those who are upgrading their 2-year contract devices to newer high-end ones; and they seem to think that constitutes 90% of android users.

It's that very mindset that's actually causing android to feel like it's degrading with every new version, not to mention how much less 'open-source' it's been getting as well. The Google empire is crumbling, slowly but surely, and may drag android down along with it.:(

I'm running cm12 on my main phone the HTC one m8 it runs okay stock sense is a little slow but cm12 isn't that bad
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Well I'm not so sure I quite agree about android going down hill. I bout a sgs tab 2. Used it stock 4.2.2 for a few weeks then flashed slimlp. Huge improvement in performance and battery life. Runs super smooth and fast. IMO makes iPhone look terrible
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Well said [MENTION=5226904]Aceofzeroz[/MENTION] , [MENTION=5914938]Jack Sparrow xda[/MENTION]! Maybe that's why Cyanogen made a bold statement to take "android back from google"?

Sorry for going offtopic! Interesting article here
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
No apology needed, it's been off-topic for a while now and honestly it's not really doing any harm. I heard the news about that the day it started happening, and I have to agree that CM is taking some really bold steps in challenging Google, but at this point it might as well be welcomed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
The things may look like bold-steps and welcoming at first but unfortunately they are not that simple in reality. Seems like Microsoft is in the background of Cyanogen's 'bold' talks :

Microsoft 'showers gold' on anti-Google Cyanogen and its Android alternative : theregister

Microsoft is reportedly investing in Cyanogen's custom Android mod : engadget

I would like Android remains in hands of Google, afterall its power of Google services which are backbone of Android, only wish the Google takes Android seriously and puts some skilled team to polish the Android so that it can gain bit of good reputation against rivals. Poor battery efficiency and non-fluid performance are biggest concerns right now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
I have to agree that lollipop isn't as much of an upgrade as it is an update, because those two words aren't synonymous. Overall, LP seems, to me, to be more of a ui update than anything else and the ui is as fugly as it can be. Then the placement of the quick settings panel is annoying, the clear all button for the notifications is under the notifications so you have to scroll down to get to it after a few notifications build up,..... I could go on and on about the things that annoy me about LP. I've flashed every LP rom available for my nexus 4 only to come back to liquid smooth's Kit Kat milestone (the pinnacle of android thus far IMHO). I will most likely hang back and wait for whatever android m brings unless it annoys me too, lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
I agree with your points there Jack, and it's because Google has been slacking due to spreading themselves so thin over the years why I said that maybe they need a little competition to address these android faults.

Thank you for further reinforcing the truth about 5.0 LP Wolf, it's pretty much only an aesthetic update from KK and an unstable one at that. It's still early in the game and it may improve in later versions, but for now it's nothing worth pushing ourselves over the edge to run (especially when we have a decent number of JB and KK roms to roll with).;):cool:

After updating to beta 3 I can't get wifi to turn on no matter how many reboots I do. Can anyone help with this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
I'm wondering how it's possible for an issue like this to be random. I had no issues from the get go.

But try the WiFi script in terminal.

I believe it's wifical.sh, but might want to double check with a search or reading OP.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
I don't have a terminal on my apps and i tried it in fastboot using the command and it said something like no such place is valid or something like that. After awhile it gives me an option to toggle wifi on but doing so does nothing and once I leave the settings screen or the wifi screen it goes right back to being off.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Use data to install terminal emulator. Or flash your backup and get one. Or try wiping data and re installing.

Not much to tell ya.

Searching and reading would've told you about this very well known issue that's been around for a bit.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Solved my issue. the first time updating the ROM I had flashed the ROM and Gapps then wiped dalvik/cache. Rebooted into recovery and wiped dalvik/cache before updating the rom and flashing the gapps and everything is working again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham412302:
Too much high battery drain
[Motorola Atrix 2] oscar_pan:
if you flash your system often, might you need format your PDS fisrt, and then try it again.

Edit: It seems you have settled it, just forget my suggestion.

This is the first 4.3 rom I have tried with great results, others have been very laggy. Great features also.

I would like to know when will we get a at least hd 720p video recording? I know our devs are working in a kernel to have hdmi working and full hd video recording, but I would like we get soon at least 720p.

Halo is not included in any of the slim roms for other devices..

Its still in beta right now but will probably be included after its considered stable.

Updated to stable build 1.

-ListView animation options have been added

Issues with New Build

Hi People,

Tried the latest version 17th sept build and i am facing the below issues

1) Phone Speaker to play music or ringtone not working------ Edit It worked after a while sorry for this

2) Camera not Working

i flashed the rom along with compatible gapps and photosphere zip....

Please advice

:good::good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] elafanto:
Look at post No. 142 of this thread. It worked well.

OP can we to get a call recorder in the next build of this ROM. I just Loved this ROM, using it as my default system, previously was on NUMA. But now this one is super smooth and battery backup is also great.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ravvio:
I rebooted the rom after which the camera started working without any issues... Anyone had luck using photosphere i think we cannot use this feature due to the missing sensor named Gyroscope.. Any one able to work it out please help.... :good::good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Downloaded Slim-edison-4.3.build.1-UNOFFICIAL-20130921-1325.zip - Is that the latest build? I'm guessing so since it's the latest date. I just want the stable version that was released, so I'm not sure if that one is the stable release.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Oh yea... I rebuilt and uploaded yesterday. I almost forgot :p

And the "stable" label is from the SlimRoms team - not necessarily completely accurate for the unofficial/non-supported builds (and factor in the device specifics, and kexec/kernel bits, etc) - but, eh, it seems to run ok..
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
How do I turn off my data on this ROM? Also, My phone will reboot sometimes when clicking on something. I don't know if it's because of an app or what, but it's very irritating.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Turning off data would be mobile networks, under "more" in wireless settings tab.
[Motorola Atrix 2] elafanto:
OP can we hope to get a call recorder in the next build of this ROM or any trick to get call recorder working. Can't we just copy some "audio.lib" type of files from China version to get it working. anyway I just Loved this ROM, using it as my default system, previously was on NUMA. But now this one is super smooth and battery backup is also great.:good::good:

Hi,

Wifi not working on 21/09 ROM

Upgraded from 17/09 (did cache and delvik wipe then flash in BMM recovery)

Worked beautifully before

Anyone else having issues?

[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
I was running on the 9-16 rom and I was happy with it. I didn't upgrade to the next one because I fixed the camera problem myself. But today I upgraded to the 9-22 and I got a weird airplane mode problem. I noticed when I booted that I had no bars. I turned off my wi-fi and had no internet data. So I opened my power menu and noticed that the airplane mode was twitching on and off. I pressed it and it suddenly reseted the phone to the Slimbean splash screen. Once that booted back up airplane mode was on and I couldn't turn it off. Every time I'd try it would zip to the splash screen and come back up with it still on. I moved back down to the 9-18 ROM and its working great. Just thought I would post my problem. Also, is there anyway that the Slimcenter would notify us that a new version of the ROM has been posted? Thanks for the great ROM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Check the md5 sum of your download.. Then reinstall and flash the RIL fix.zip attached to the op if you still have no signal bars.

As for Slimcenter, these are non-supported unofficial builds, so not likely to get updates through slimcenter any time soon... GooManager should notify you of new uploads though (if I got my build.props right)
[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:
On Google+ SlimBean community there is talk of a bad update that was pulled because of airplane mode reboot problems.

I wonder if this is not the one?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Hmm.. Did not know that..

Anyone else experience this?

I will be rebuilding soon anyway..
[Motorola Atrix 2] dickluo:
Sorry...This is base on official 4.0.4 or I can flash this via CWM base on official 4.1?

DO we need to apply the wifi patch again or has that been fixed?

Dejan
[Motorola Atrix 2] luck_shawn:
Where is the WiFi patch? I don't see it attached to op? Updated to build 1.2 and now have no WiFi.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:
You need to run sh /system/bin/wifical.sh from adb

Was talked about early in the thread, have a look.

D
[Motorola Atrix 2] luck_shawn:
That's a command to run in emulator, i was looking for Ril fix.zip to flash. Its not there, have a look.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:
Sorry, you are right.

That sh script fixed WiFi for me on one of the earlier ROMs, but not this time...

Devs, can we have the RIL fix please?

Dejan
[Motorola Atrix 2] luck_shawn:
I did however take heed to your suggestion and ran the script then rebooted and WiFi works just fine now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Odd because unlike having to skip setup and using terminal SU>wifical.sh> to get WiFi working I didn't have to on latest 1.2 it turned on and found WiFi no problem. U wipe everything? (Data, cache, davi cache and formatted system)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
If people are still having trouble with WiFi, it seems that there were some commits last night that may fix the issue.

I put the new wifical.sh in the wificalFIX.zip attached to the OP. Just flash in custom recovery - it will swap the wifical scripts and should run the new one for you. - Nevermind, zip removed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] luck_shawn:
I fixed with terminal emu and rebooted phone but I only upgraded, didn't do complete wipe and install this time around. Wiped dalvik and cache.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yea, I also have no problems with wifi - it seems like a problem affecting only some users, on the RAZRs also..
[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:
Wifi is definitely not working for me. Did a full wipe (system format, factory reset, delvik) then installed 1.2 and still no wifi.

Running old wifical.sh did not work. It just hangs there, does not seem to be doing anything.

Had to roll back to Sep-17 ROM.

Could you provide that new wifical.zip after all?

D
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Uploading a new build tonight.. Wait about an hour for it to finish uploading. It will be on my Android File Host (AFH - linked in OP).

Not sure if it will fix your WiFi - it works fine for me again..

But seems like the same issue with my last RAZR builds too.. Some don't have WiFi.

And that new wifical script I had posted wasn't running properly...

I mean by service messages the ones send from service providers like was push or web link or the ones telecoms send as a message to send you wap setting or gprs settings
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rudegar:
if you can send those types of sms from any phone it's pretty odd that the world is not filled with virus's that delete mms settings and gprs settings and then resend them to something else

so my guess is no
