[Motorola Atrix HD] KrisM22:
I seem to be continuously editing this - probably will over the next day or 2...

I have played with the v5 beta briefly. I will try to hammer menus later. No problems!

* I used philz_touch_6.12.8-mb886 recovery. (the latest for the Atrix HD)

* Did backup of 4.3 .

* I did wipe data/factory reset --> "Clean to install a new ROM".(does data, cache, and /system )

* I flashed Validus5 beta0223 ; and booted to it. This took about 1m17s ; 1m57s. (

NO GAPPS

)

* I pressed on "google search" to remove it but it changed to green and could no longer be selected. On a reboot, it was gone. (my finger slipped!)

* I set airplane mode and logged in to wifi. I do this because a couple of flashes ago pa-mini-gapps shut wifi off, turned carrier on and started updating junk.

* I booted to recovery and flashed pa_gapps-modular-micro-mod4.4.2-20140213-signed - modCopy.zip - mod because I removed chrome bookmarks sync and Calendar.

* I booted (1m6s) and chose Nova launcher, and used gmail to log into my gmail acct.

* I changed settings in Play so it wouldn't auto update anything.

* I installed Titanium Backup Pro apk from my external SD card (with Validus Explorer!) and then used TB to restore my approx 16 apps (

WITHOUT DATA!!!!!!!

).

* I then used Play to update what needed to be.(just one)

* I set and tested voicemail number.(in phone settings)

*I tested wifi, BT call, txt, MMS r+s, gmail, GPS, compass.

* I set android firewall and tested opera mini, system tuner pro, My data manager, yourbusMBTA 1.10, gmaps, gps status, rom toolbox lite, the included app "music", camera, us tides, messaging, adaway(requires reboot), XDA, speed test.

* This defaults to USB debugging which I unchecked as I don't need it.

* I did modify the bootanimation.zip to the nexus one. This was easy and worked fine.(per post 3)

* I use grass wallpaper by US droid and that works fine.

* It correctly picked up my notification sounds so I could choose them in sounds.

* I chose not to have the lockscreen notification bars and this is easily set in settings/security/"lockscreen notifications".

But they are VERY SMOOTH in this ROM!!!

:D I do not use things like pocket mode and "show always" that are also in here - personal choice.

* This is my first pure aosp kk rom but I found it

very

easy to find things in settings, and navigate my way around.

* 35sec boot reboot, it takes maybe another 10sec for clock and lockscreen notifications to appear.

* Picks correct APN ("phone" for my ATT paygo SIM).

* I normally have wifi , BT , and GPS set to off. Battery use seems same as 4.3 which is

supurb!

* It is rock solid. Nothing hiccuped or jammed. 4.3 was my working ROM after a day, but this will replace it!

* I should point out that the charger works perfectly when plugged from power off, or power on. Note that battery stats will be reset if battery level is between 90% and 100%, when connected to wall wart or PC.

EDIT: battery rough guess at 1%/hr idle.

Void/statusbar/network speed indicator - neat! - very neat!!! :D

Void/animations all seem to work correctly. Toys!

Yes, antutu bench crashes at about 80% in 2D testing. There are notes on the web. I fault the app. 3DMark worked fine (huge, but very pretty). Vellamo worked fine. GFXBench wanted 110MB to d/l - LOL. Wifi was on for all. Running benchmarks is detrimental to your battery but after 5 1/2 hrs it was still 50%. Excellent!
