Tried it. Now few more customization available, especially the recent panel. Now we can change the colours of the recent panel, we can make the fully opaque background transparent. :D Now waiting for the 8.0 stable release.

OT : Anyways [MENTION=4523997]alteredlikeness[/MENTION], after seeing the new MotoX, my heart got tempted about it, though Atrix 2 is doing very well for me and I don't intend to let it go. You have got the M8 which is strong contender against MotoX. What do you say on both of these? One badly missing thing in the MotoX is stereo, even the MotoG has got it but notorious Motorola decided to skip it onto MotoX. That is one sole think which I will miss if I buy the MotoX, though I am not serious about the upgrade. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
IS there any option to change the Ugly recent panel that comes from one side in Slim to Stock recent panel like we have on CM yet ??

P.S : Just my personal opinion abt slim recents...No offence intended to anyone who likes it :cool:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:

[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
That panel looks brilliant jack! You gotta tell us the icon pack that ur using!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Good old 'Dcikonz'. There are many versions of it so choose as per your liking
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I don't know too much about the MotoX, but I really enjoy the M8, it's a solid, quality device. And a big plus is the unlockable bootloader.. Though, I have not had the itch to try a custom ROM on it yet - satisfied with stock Sense. Nice features, great sound, big screen - makes the A2 seem really small now.

I actually haven't really picked up the A2 much since I got this.. Only to try and unlock the SIM, but failing bad for some reason. First on CM, then tried on Numa, now I flashed it back to stock, and the code from att is still failing. One try left...
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
[sorry off the topic]

If you are thinking about new phone, consider about LG G2 also. (I know G3 is out now, but still G2 is great contender)

[No offence alteredlikeness about your M8]
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Guys,

If you are interested in extending your battery life try this app it works.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
How's the new build fairing for you guys? Anyone using it with jbx? I've been with cm for too long and would like to try slim. Sorry I could have downloaded and tried but my ISP sucks big time!! So every 200mb download is like downloading 2-3 gigs of movie:eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
7.9 is equally stable and bug free like 7.0. Now eagerly waiting for the stable 8.0 release.

Every time I when something goes wrong with other ROMs or kernels on my phone, I just return back to SlimKat and stay on it. It has turned out a reliable daily driver for me where I like to keep all my data synced up. :)

Strangely my phone doesn't seem to like the the JBX kernel. Sometimes JBX makes my phone unstable. Sometimes if it works then make the phone so much heated up that it starts feeling like the phone can blast anytime. And of late the battery drain had mostly been awful with JBX for me. it can hardly manage to keep the phone alive from morning to evening with single charge. :mad:

On the other hand SlimKat ROMs run acceptably smooth on my phone with stock kernel and most importantly they give me livable battery backup. :fingers-crossed:

Just right now finished fresh setup of Slimkat 7.9 with stock kernel after cleaning up the system 1 which previously had JBX on the same ROM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
I can totally relate to your experience....I used to be an avid JBX user...specially in the early February of 2014 when only JBX with Shurik's inventions boasted of battery backup on Kexec.....I used to flash every JBX kernel as soon as it came out....But slowly got phased out of JBX due to battery and heating issues....to add to that my phones battery wasn't getting any younger...JBX has really improved a lot over the time ...But still not completely optimised...i would take Stock kernel any day :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Ok then I'm gonna try 7.9 release! But it's sad to know that jbx isn't working out for you guys! I'm such a big fan of jbx(you might have known this by now considering majority of my posts are on jbx thread!:cool:) .some might even call me a borderline fanboy..:D.

I'll also try stock kernel for a change and do comparison.
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
Slim 7.9 + JBX 25/7 = perfect combination
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Art or dalvik? Overclocked? I can't imagine that kinda score on stock with dalvik
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Great score.
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
if you want I'll post the screenshots but I'm telling you that score is obtained stock OS with no additional tweaks, 1.3ghz OC, 384mhz GPU and dalvik :cool:
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
I didn't doubt you mate! So it's dalvik I take it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
8.0 on AFH
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I was just about to give a try to latest version of CM11 till stable 8.0 of Slim reaches but here you go. :eek: Now I have only one Sunday and lot of ROMs to try out :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
I was waiting for 8.0 ;)

Edit : On official website they are on 7.9 ?

MIUI new version is also up :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Have given up MIUI after first try. For me personal data security is more important than the UI :cool:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
All ROMs are taking your data by the way :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Yeah, but not without my permission, and not like how that Chinese ROM is taking. Please install "Network Connections" app and see yourself.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Repo...ds-photos-and-texts-to-Chinese-server_id58744

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com...es-hit-chinese-firm-xiaomi/article6305184.ece

There are plenty of such articles and they are not baseless, "network connections" confirms it.

:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
They are taking without permissions :) just saw once facebook messenger was using the camera without permission ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
FB is not part of ROM, I am talking about what ROM itself does. If you want to see, please check the connections in AOSP ROMs and MIUI, you will get to know what I mean. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
With this issue, and your issue with gapps, you did something wrong.

Maybe bad download, tho that should give you errors before issues.

Camera works fine, well it works. And with slim gapps, not the minimal ones, play store is there.

Re download, full wipe and try again is the only advise I've got as your alone with the issues.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kyolic:
I'll do that with the next release.
[Motorola Atrix 2] luck_shawn:
Anyone tested photosphere yet?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Updated to beta 3.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Wat are the fixes man? Keep up the good work btw!
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Will the JBX 4.3 kernel work on this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Of course it does, why wouldn't it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
Well in 4.2 altered and ravis ROMs didn't support it, only devish's ports and mokee. Just wanted to make sure it wouldn't mess anything up but would love to juice this slim ROM up with JBX.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Your must have been confused, or gotten mislead. Any and all aosp ROM will support jbx kernel. Just so ya know.

1.0 version is for 4.3 ROMs

Lower is for 4.2 ROMs
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
This hurts.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Idk if it's this ROM but sometimes when I'm typing, it will delete a word I had already previously written. And also it will shift a part of my sentence to the end of my sentence.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Anyone have issues with OC sticking?

Even with set on boot checked it reverts back to default. Or am I supposed to install an app to do what the built in performance settings do?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
YIKES!! Screen on time?

Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Lol, around 2.5 hr. I've got some wakelock issues Im trying to track down. So far it seems its mainly google syncing everything... including the kitchen sink.

Oh i wish battery life could be tracked in minutes.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
Trickster mod from Google play can lock frequency..
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Seems funny to install an app to do something that's built into the ROM.

Processor speed is the only one that doesn't stick. Scheduler and governor both stay.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
Oh well if its jbx.. Dtrail did ask for us to use trickster.. And I dont know why it refuse to stick.. Ask our dev if they can fix it somehow..
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Oh..... I guess I needed to read a bit more.

I'm sure Dev's are aware. And working on more important things ATM.

Plus I should really track my battery issue before worrying about OC.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
Battry drain is quite a drawback of these awesome Rom.. Once its gone.. It'll be super awesome.. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Never had status bar time freeze while widgets work fine.
[Motorola Atrix 2] xmotouserx:
Speaking of privacy...anybody else deletes the Slimkat Torch right after updating rom...??? Just look at the weird permissions...so I always delete it from Slimcenter... :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
also we can't modify torch settings :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
I've talked about this weird permissions 6 months ago and it still there!! HERE I remember that I've done a small search and discovered that Cm11 torch and all other ROM's builds is clean from this bad permissions only Slim_Torch is infected. The simplest solution is to replace Torch.apk from the zip file (before flashing) with CM11 torch :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Thats a good idea :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
This might be a good question, then again maybe not. I really love cm but I love the fact that slim is quick and ultra light. Any way we could "slim up" cm to make it light weight?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
I would like to challenge someone to a higher benchmark test on the a2 than this
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Slimkat 8.0 ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Have you injected some NX fuel in your A2? :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
OMG!! That's f'ing huge score:D:D! Is it on stock? because I can't even break 13.5k on slimkat 8.0 with stock kernel even with art
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
What?? Stock kernel? My phone never crossed even 9K mark with stock kernel and you guys are talking about 13.5K ??? Forget, my phone could cross 12.5K or so in JBX kernel once when overclocked to 1300Mhz. :eek:

How to achieve that much of score in stock kernel? :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
thats a good question , how with stock :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
With slim 8 and read ahead tweaked to 2048 and scheduler changed to deadline, I get past 12k with increased i/o performance. Add 500 points if I change to art. But without jbx slim can't achieve 13k unless you're few lucky ones who can achieve 1200 mhz on stock

On a different note, slim 8 is blazingly fast (way faster than cm in launching apps) even on stock kernel hinting that benchmarks don't always translate into better performance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
How about having a SlimKat ROM with overclocking kernel!!

Heard that someone was working on Slim with JBX kernel, what happened about that?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
I didn't understand what you're trying to say?? Jbx works with slim already.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
He is talking about Slim with JBX by replacing the stock in ROM...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Like I said, its a challenge. Configure ur best setup and post ur score.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Yes, thats what I mean. Building Slim from scratch based on the JBX kernel with overclocking capabilities as default. There was another ROM which was built on the JBX kernel but that was abandoned long back when I think JBX kernel itself was unstable.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Yes, sonic rom, cm11, and aokp all had jbx. AOkp was pretty close to stable but the other 2 were not. I think flashing kernel separately is better
[Motorola Atrix 2] funtastic89:
With cm11 I could add audio files into /system/media using root browser since kitkat can't see the custom ringtones, notifications etc on sd card. With slim it works for a few minutes but then reverts the permissions and becomes invisible to select. . Not sure what's going on?

Also is there an option to have a button to clear the recent apps list all at once? Hate having to clear one at a time. All other roms I tried have this but slim excludes it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Not sure where ur question is going? I tried adding my own tones on slim and it would only read them via sdcard. A "clear-all" button on recent apps is the last thing I was worried about so idk
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Here's a noon question, so I opened up slim 8.0 and did some adding and subtracting to files (all of which were safe). Now I zipped up the contents under a new name. I get a status error when flashing. Am I supposed to sign the zip file before flashing? Does that part matter?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Pinch the recent panel from top and bottom to middle using two fingers to clear all apps at once
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
[MENTION=6002413]jdog1989[/MENTION] yeah I would like to know that too! I tried that once with cm11, zipped the package again. But got same error
[Motorola Atrix 2] funtastic89:
Really? I've got custom ringtones, notifications, and alarms in the folders on sd card but they don't appear to select, just the default tones.
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
ohhoho! it's getting way better!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Oh wow! Very nice!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
How you guys are getting this benchmark :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
U just need a prestige setup. It must be impeccable or else u cannot achieve a high score
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Boss thats just unbelievable :eek:

I sometime wonder if you have replaced your OMAP chips of the phone with some new Snapdragon. :o Even Moto E and G can't score that much.

What is meaning of that? We also have the same ROM like you. :rolleyes:

Anyways jus ran Antutu and this is what I got today:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
SlimKat 8.0 with stock ROM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I can see that mine RAM speed is poor compared to all other. Is my RAM has given up or I got poor quality RAM in first place?

Also my CPU has always been clocked at 1.0 GHz, is there any way I can have CPU running at 1.2 GHz in the stock kernel like others?
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
You might have installed many apps which use RAM constantly. Regarding CPU, some A2s have 5 clock stages, which can go upto 1.2 GHz, while some others have 4 stages, which go upto 1 GHz. Though you can get 10 stages or 12 (1 GHz or 1.2 GHz resp.) stages clock speed by using JBX.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Here is one test. Just turned off Google now and ok Google hot word detection. Used phone like a phone and not like a smartphone. This is what I got:

(And yeah, the battery suddenly dropped to bellow 19% as soon as I started posting these screenshots and quickly came down to below 15% after usage of few minutes. So read the 31% remaining as 15%)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
8.2 is on AFH
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Another build :) OTA updates are not possible for SlimKat ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrix2dBeast:
Nope! Coz its unofficial!
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Don't unzip it, just open it with 7zip or winrar on the PC or use ZArchiver on the phone. :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
Anyone experience the lockscreen handle hold down torch not working most of the time? On slim 8.0
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Did anybody try 8.2 build? I'm so in love with 8.0! Consistently getting 3.5-4 hrs screen on with stock kernel. So I don't wanna change anything lol! Performance degradation has also been minimum
[Motorola Atrix 2] Redicus:
Need Help, Phone keeps restarting (Fixed)

I just installed Slimkat 8.0 with Slim Mini Gapps 4.4.4 on system 1 after Wiping and manual /system format, and the phone keeps rebooting.

Then i tried only installing the ROM without Gapps, still the same.

I can access BMM

.

I was on Slimkat 5.10 with Jbx before flashing(It was buggy with force closes).

I am not sure, but i think its getting an error after "convert rootf files", but i cant see it as it goes away in less than half a second. Then it tries to boot(black screen)(Green notification light)(Softkeys on), and restarts after 3 seconds. And repeats.

------------------------------------

Edit1: Wow, this is strange. So I downloaded the ROM again(even when the md5 checksum was correct), and by mistake flashed the 1st one again as both filename were same,

and it booted

. Then i restarted to flash the slim mini gapps and it installed the missing 300mb cache partition automatically. Flashed Gapps and now working fine.

Just one thing. I updated the ROM as the camera was not working - "Unfortunately Camera has stopped". Now after a fresh install, its still not working. Whats wrong?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Az-one786:
Did you format the system first before You flash an update of ur rom and gapps..?

For the blackscreen/green led and device keep rebooting issues., you can just turn off ur device, pull battery out for a minute and put it back..

Your device should boot fine after that... That's common issues with kexec rom.. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] zubs_abd:
8.2 version is very stable.

Installed on system 2, using since 4-5 days.

didn't try on system 1

anybody know how to backup my system 2 (slimkat) & restore it to system 1 (jellybean 4.1)..

thanx & regards
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Take a backup of your data using BMM backup (selective backup).

Format system 1 flash the latest slimkat 8.2 reboot

Flash GApps and reboot

Selective restore and restore your data backup.

Thats it enjoy your slimkat in system 1 and good luck.

OTG USB not working!

I am on SlimKat 8.0. Recently bought OTG USB cables so that I can use USB pen drives with my Atrix. I thought OTG USB support is native in Android but to my surprise SUB drive didn't work on my phone.

I also tried apps like Stick Mount, USB Helper etc but they also didn't work.

Does anyone has any idea how the usb storage devices can be attached on the Atrix 2?
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
By a powered USB Hub. A2's circuit board doesn't provide power to the USB Drive.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Oh! And what about Moto X 2nd gen? Will it also require powered hub? I actually bought the cable for my upcoming MotoX but since I don't have the phone right now, thought to experiment with Atrix.

Anyways, here is thread on teh OTG USB : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713466

This doesn't say anything about powered hub!
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
Don't worry, all the new generation devices support OTG. I guess TI OMAP 4430 was somewhat older to support that functionality.

EDIT: See the second post where the user mentions 'external power'.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gr8mobiPro:
Try this.... http://www.mytechguru.org/how-to-connect-a-usb-otg-to-motorola-atrix-2-without-dock/

Also here is OTG with power connection.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCOwpaOst9s

Although its in chinees but you can get the idea, what kind of cable it needed.

yesterday i flashed slim 8.2 by cleaning system, data & dalvick etc......

I charged my phone 100% and went to Office.. I noticed my phone was very hot in my pocket... i take out my phone and saw my battery was 29% (no music no game no wifi.. ..screen was off) .. IN 4hour 14minutes.. Then.. out of panic, I removed my battery and reinserted after 10 minutes... after a while again it went hot.. and battery reached to 10%...

I don't know why it happend ...?? after reaching home, I dirty flashed the rom again.... lets see what happen next?

how to install using BMM on system 1 ? sorry newbie

and using what gapps ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gr8mobiPro:
1. go to Play store

2. install bmm.

3. open and grant root permissions. & hit "Install" on prompt.

4 then u will be seeing 3 options.. go to reboot >> Recovery.. OR you can reboot with power button(while rebooting device, after Motorola logo... tap on last option in 1st column i.e. "recovery").

5. then go to install zip package >>Install zip from storage>> Goto ur rom.zip >> Hit install.

6. Use step 5 for gapps too..

GAPPs is GOOGLE-APPlications (Banks gapps minimal...or use link - provided for every rom on their first page )

and after done with that

7. go to system keeper >> Install BMM(Main system).

thats it.

For MORE INFO ON BMM USE this link--- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115715

AND.... BMM is hijecking your boot, it is installed in main system, BMM logically provides you to have syatem 1, 2, 3 ..so on.

so no need to install bmm for every systems.

And important thing Don't hesitate asking questions but ... almost every basic question for noobs has already been answered.. so use search option..

how to downclock back to 1GHz ?

LED while charging was gone when BMM installed.. possible to turn on back?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Gr8mobiPro:
LED while charging is not supported after JB roms. Don't worry you will get used to it. Default clock speed can be achieved, if you format system and OR flashes another rom.
[Motorola Atrix 2] uwanfodawin:
1st install and love this rom..

but sad gps not working for me..

already try replace gps.driver , gps.conf also gps test n fix from google play still not solve..hmm anyone facing same issue?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gr8mobiPro:
For gps ... You have to download gps status fix app ... And go under clear sky..and open the app and give it some time... (Up to 30 minutes). 1st attempt takes a lot of time.. But after that.. Its smooth

Try that....

Btw if gps is big deal for you... Try mokee rom.
