[Motorola Atrix HD] skeltonh:
ProBAM now my Atrix HD Favorite

As much as I am a fan of PACman, this ROM takes it all!! The interface is very clean, really don't have to dig around to find anything. All is where it needs to be. No real problems. Did get reboots when I taxed the system communications (WiFi, BlueTooth, and attached via USB) really seemed to crash the system. If I pile on a bunch of VOIP stuff it crashes the system. PACman gets reboots and the bootloop of death when this happens. Did happen to this one as well but found the trick to loading the device properly to keep that from happening:

1. Factory Reset

2. Wipe Delvic Cache

3. Flash ProBAM

4. Flash GApps

-- It should be noted at this point that you can use the stock GApps for 4.3, or what I used is the Slim IO GApps for SlimBean. Whatever version you use you should consider the issued involved with the version you are using. If you run into any problems, try the general 4.3 GApps (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip)

NEXT STEPS VERY IMPORTANT

*****************************************

5. Wipe Delvic Cache

6. Reboot

7. ** Do normal startup and load routine but do not enter account information **

What happens here is this settles GApps and seemingly resolves an issue I had with the framework.

8. Run Google Play Store and update apps where possible - do not load new ones!!

9. Reboot

10. Add account information after reboot and go through Google Play Store and load your apps manually

While this is an utter pain, it has solved a lot of issues with my device and what applications get loaded. My GMail works without fail, most notifications work (still have issues with Google+ notifications). This also insures you get the clean versions of the apps, and not something with a broken framework.

Even if I load and let the system restore all the apps I once had, it still does not load them all, nor does it remember the ones I had on my device last.

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

Problems I Have Found

Nova Launcher does not rotate with all the other apps and screen orientation. Only time it will rotate is in driving mode.

Issues with LTE and the "hipri" and "forta" settings - guess that's specific to AT&T pure roms Normal pta APN setting does not work, "phone" does. Note: When your LTE voice service dies, you have to switch to the WAP APN setting. I have a problem with local cell tower going out on me for LTE - all devices. This phone was working because I could switch to WAP and get it running.

Volume Control seems strange. I set it high and the next time I check, the values have changed. Speaker phone is weak at best - louder in regular setting.

Once asleep it takes a while to wake up when you push the power button.

Exceptional battery life - if you turn of WiFi and don't sync. (Not a problem, but thought I should note it)

Needs default option to have menu icon on Nav Bar to be on all the time. You can do this via settings - if you get to the APP list - and change it, but would be nice to have on by default.

Power settings don't sync with System Configuration settings. Icons on power buttons have priority over System Configuration switches. Tried to turn off BlueTooth but did not shut off until I did both the System Configuraiton and the power menu. Power widget works really well for this. I simply go there from now on.

A few hot reboots when communications is really stressed and battery is below 40%. No FC's to speak of - other than Bobsled - but that crashes on on my devices now. I use GrooVe IP and go through Google Voice to make calls now. (My tower is out, have to use local WiFi for work-around. AT&T is working on it...)

------

This is better than PACman. While I am a major fan of PACman, this is more stable, has all the features, and does extremely well. Hopefully you'll have already ported this to other devices. Someday, when I get the money, I'll get something better and see about ProBAM on it....

Keep up the good work. Will get you a donation when I can.
