[Q]Disable Raindrop Protection? - Motorola Atrix 2

I fix this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467696

IIRC it's a "feature" that's enabled on the touchscreen controller itself, nothing we can enable or disable through easy software means...
At least the time has been slightly increased from the 20seconds of the Atrix 1. I count 30 seconds for the Atrix 2.

Looks like someone figured out how:
Universal Raindrop Fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467696

I think it is for atrix 1. Did you try?

We have it disabled on the photon as well.
We also have the 1% battery fix that I'm working on for the Atrix 2. Btw I didn't notice anything about that in any of the threads but has it already been fixed?

This won't work for us. We don't have the touchscreen files in the same location as the old atrix. Not sure, but it may need to be fixed with kernel tweaks... Samsung phones have a similar problem called "ghost touch". See here for their solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554540

What do you mean by 1% fix? There are plenty of 1% batt mods for the A2...

Agreed. And it's posted in themes and apps too, so I think we've definitely got the topic addressed...

After much discussion here, I decided to flash this on my Sonya V4 Atrix 2, even though I didn't need to. Well I tested it with some multi-touch tester apps and it did work for me. I didn't experience any rain drop effects or bugs after the 15-30 secs window. I think it should stay here since its a mod that work on my Atrix 2. YMMV.

Well, shoot, I guess I'll eat my words... Maybe I just don't understand enough about this phone yet, but that zip only installs a touchpad.cfg file in the /system/etc/touchpad/22 folder.. which we do not have (at least I don't... does SonyaV4 have that file?).. And, if you read through that thread, people have just replaced their own .cfg files through root explorer instead of flashing the zip. So, again.. I don't get it. (did you do the same test before flashing that zip? - just checking, does the A2 even have the raindrop protection? And, why is this even a feature, who uses their phones in the rain anyway??)

JRW put a set of them together here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449631&highlight=1+battery+mod
Also, yes, they are included in most all of the available roms, as well as some additional mods have been posted within the rom threads (i know i put some together for Victory rom, cause it wasn't showing 1% increments and that dev posted his rom and left the country or civilization...).
Note that they are only for deodexed roms at this point (due to the services.jar edits required)

Well I don't know what you guys did, but I tested that zip file as well, using Dotty and Mutitouch Vis Test before and after, and it did nothing for me. Still bugs out and doesn't register both fingers after 30 seconds or so until I tap a bunch of times, then it comes back to normal, then bugs out again in another 30 seconds. I double checked, and it definitely installed the new config file in /system/etc.. but no change. I'm deleting the new folders...
EDIT: Also, it definitely doesn't register 5 fingers, as the mod apparently is also supposed to do.. and read this from the mod developer (it's kinda what i said earlier):http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22076100&postcount=49

ALPHA: Nyan kernel 3.X builds

Thank you bbelos for the port of kernel 3.x
This thread will contain test builds of a Nyan colonel built off of kernel 3.x. This does not currently have voodoo sound or over clock capabilities. This has a bunch of tweaks I have found and would like tested such as didle and other new things. This is based on the 3.x port by bbelos.
What does not work:
Vibration
4G WiMax
Compass
You need to put the following files on your SD card along with the kernel:
Download all files here besides zImage
Now you will need to download the test kernel. If it is named zImage.bin, rename it zImage:
6/3/12 9:49 EST: http://i.minus.com/1338785488/MLUAXU3KBgO9DEjDXcsUKA/iyU7MabwAtc4I
Flash boot_zImage_with_boot.zip in CWM or twrp and it should reboot into the kernel.
It should be mentioned the orientation sensor doesn't work either, although I'm not sure if it's just the auto-rotation feature that doesn't work or it won't even turn orientation when you want to change the orientation of your camera.
One question though: What are the benefits of the new kernel?

The screen orientation, oddly enough, is not handled by the orientation sensor. Or at least not in this case. It must be handled by the accelerometer. The orientation sensor is needed for things like compass apps, etc.

I never said portrait/landscape mode didn't work. The orientation sensor doesn't work. It doesn't return any readings. Test it with Elixir2, or a compass app.

This is awesome btw. Can't wait til you can get all the options that make the 2.x nyans what they are working.
I would also like to know, in layman's terms, what the benefits of using the 3.x kernels will be (once they're fully operational of course).

Back up.
Bbelos accidentally posted links to Uberpinguin's private file server and I used the kexec zip link from his blog post. Warren did not know the whole story (I assume) and publicly posted (if you saw it, you saw it). Uberpinguin kindly asked and I removed the link and apologized to him. He understood and Kenny unlocked the thread.

guess i missed all the "fun." pretty glad i did too. anyways, i still havent tried this kernel out. i'll try to give it a shot tonight. does it work with any ics rom or should i stick with cm while testing it now? and as far as the tweaks you mention in the OP, are they behind the scenes tweaks, or should i use a specific app to utilize them, like nstools for live OC and such on your other kernels? which i still dont really know how to use, lol. i just leave the live OC option at 100% on nstools. not sure what im sposed to use for the best performance or best battery tho. but ill go to the nyan v5 thread to ask about that stuff.

[ROM] JoyOS Port for OG Droid [Updated 8-8-12]

As the title says this is a port of the JOY OS ROM for the Motorola Droid 1.
Working:
Calling, Data, Wifi, MMS, etc are working as far as i know
Tweaks:
Render UI With GPU
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
Video Acceleration Enabled
debug.performance.tuning=1
Disabled Sending Usage Data
Deeper Sleep/Better battery life
Ringing Starts Immediately
NetSpeed Tweaks
Bugs:
There is a glitch when long pressing the home button where everything except the switcher goes upside down [Fixed]
To enable 3G you must go to Settings > Operators > APNs > tap the circle next to Verizon a few times till you see the 3G icon. (This has to be done every reboot) [Fixed]
Signal might not read correctly for some*
Additional Info:
I ported this rom for virgin mobile so there were some framework mods i had to undo and im not sure if everything will work for verizon users.
Also note that I just used a guide here on XDA to port.
If you are on a different carrier such as cricket or metro pcs and need to edit apn settings do all your edits but leave the field "APN Type" blank so you won't lose 3G but you'll still have MMS
Link [OLD]
www.mediafire.com/?bxuoq5wf6zo8c4m
UPDATE:
Instead of uploading the whole ROM and you guys wiping and reflashing here's the updated framework.jar place it in your system/framework folder using a root file browser and set permissions. this should get 3G to autoconnect on boot and fix the upside down multitasking screen. Signal bars are still not working though.
http://www.mediafire.com/?soo1mxcjhbx31xe
UPDATE V2
Changes:
Added Beats Audio with ALSA
Removed DSP Manger and added AudioFX widget Note:use the AudioFX widget included for a better beats experience.
Updated Framwork to fix the upside down task killer and 3G should now auto-connect (it does for me anyway)
removed FM radio apk since it doesn't work.

seems like it'd be easier to just download an iphone look-alike lockscreen from the market since a flashable zip would have to be made for each rom you want to use it with.

[Q&A][GENERAL]Tweaked 2.x ICS

Howdy folks -
The main thread should be limited to major error/bug reports and logcats - use this thread for all the general conversation and questions/answers stuffs.
Hope you guys like it!
Downloading now testing shortly! (grumble grumble) ...stupid 8 thanks per day limit...
Ok - just wanted to share this as it was frustrating me and didn't make the 2.0 release... but I managed to figure it out
An early start to 2.1 I suppose...

Same way you do it with stock - you have to open up the app drawer, hit the menu button, then select edit. You may need to switch the view type first - do that, and then you can drag things from the app drawer into the dock and vice versa.
Hey again -
To the few that do try this rom out - feel free to drop suggestions for other things to try and work in (beyond lockscreens of course). While I do have one known (and one unknown) surprise ready, I'd like to get a few more things worked into an update if at all possible. I can't say I'll be able to work in what is suggested, but I'll give it a shot at least
Having an updated tw launcher or a different launcher with the ability to have 5 or 6 apps in the dock would be all that I would ask for. Everything else is fantastic. Thanks for all your efforts.

Yeah I've thought about such things, but I always circle back to the idea that there are so many great 3rd party launchers out there I should let it be to encourage folks to explore those options lol. I also am leery on putting in a launcher that has a pay version or has the whole ask-for-permission hassle (that's not really a hassle), but I'll keep my eyes peeled for something different.

Google Now should have been working - all the stuff from the referenced link was added for it anyway. How is it different now vs. when you first flashed the ROM? Could you get me a screenshot of what it looks like for you now? Perhaps I missed something...
LOL on the swag toggle - I meant to change how that behaved. The toggle is there for fun only, but to mess with people on the Gingerbread build I had it set to force download mode if you turned it on while auto-brightness is turned on - I forgot to change that, my bad
EDIT: Derp... I see what I forgot... Ok, it will be fixed in 2.1, sorry about that For those not wanting to go and flash anything, all you need to do is delete /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk and then reboot and all will be well. My bad.
Google now just wasn't there before. It was standard search. Now I've added it mine looks like this:

Yep - everything in that is already in the rom, I just forgot to remove an apk. D'oh.
First off - thanks to those that have offered some feedback on this, it is very much appreciated. That being said, I know not many have tried this out but I'm getting an update together, so I wanted to ask if anyone has noticed anything else not working quite as they expected or anything that should be changed/added/removed...?
I haven't come across anything I wanna do with the launcher yet, but I have cleaned up a few things in the toggles, Google Now is now working as it should, I fixed another little bug I found when you first turn on wifi after flashing... outside of that is there anything people have found that I should address before updating? No worries if not - like I said not many have tried this out, but I'd like to get all the little issues ironed out before updating if possible.

Help me choose a rom

Number 1 for me is stability. I am looking for a Rom that fully works or for the most part everything is working. Full camera functionality/flash, Sending and receiving SMS & MMS, GPS (I use navigation often), making and receiving calls, all the basic stuff that work on stock. Stability is my main objective. Second would be battery life & fluidity. Everything else like customization options is a nice bonus
I expected the Jelly Bean OTA to be better than it was. I did a factory reset when I got the update to make sure my phone started fresh. Even formatted internal and external SD card. I just expected a better experience. They took away some things I loved and added some things I don't like. But the main thing that bothers me is the occasional stutter/lag. And I notice battery life is worst on the JB OTA. I thought JB was suppose to be refined, it's not totally buttery smooth like they promote it to be. At least not on the stock Verizon variant of the GS3.
I am looking at "The Executioner" or the CleanRom/CleanRom Lite Edition. Any opinions or thoughts by people who have ran both would be appreciated!! I realize roms, as most things in life are a personal preference but I'd still like to get some opinions.
Another silly thread. We already have a few of these in the same section. Post there.

This post doesn't really give me an opinion on The Executioner Rom vs. CleanRom/CleanRom Lite Edition? I tried doing a search but nothing came up on the comparison of the two. Can you send me a link to that particular thread? I'd appreciate it bro. I'm only asking the people who have tried those two roms or either CleanRom or Executioner.
Im loving the executioner rom!! I was using synergy but im loving this one! Awesome and super stable... Also im using imoseyon kernal and am undervolting it. Great battery life and speed is awesome

Thanks for the feed back!! Is there any common bugs people been experiencing with it? All the basic functions are working well? Again I appreciate the reply, I'm brand new to the S3 section of the site. This makes me excited to see what the rom is about. I take it the rom has no stutters or occasional lag like the stock touchwiz.

I use the CM10 Nightlies. I update about once a week or so. And I have had very minimal issues. When I did run into any, I just updated the next day and the issue was fixed. And you can report bugs to the developers to help expedite the fixes as they come up. Not to mention no more touchwiz, *Gag*

I heard CM roms were great for customization but may not be most stable? I was thinking of trying it anyways. I like the AOSP or pure Google look and feel. I gotta think about it I don't know if I'll have the time to flash an update every day for a bug fix lol. Thank you for the input

if you want AOSP look and feel but with touchwiz stability, flash beans rom

I forgot to ask, thing that bothers me most about the recent official JB OTA, I am required to have my GPS turned on to refresh my weather Widgets. Being connected to the net is not enough anymore m after the update, now I need GPS on for some reason? Is this the case for the Executioner Rom or no?

Who cares if there's other threads about the same thing? It's called a forum for a reason. Save your 2 cents for helpful advice.
Anyway I'm thinking of switching to executioner rom also. On synergy now.

People spend hours putting together guides, doing reviews, etc. It's frustrating sometimes to see how little effort some people put into utilizing the forum.
It works both ways. These boards would be alot less cluttered if people searched. We're all guilty of it, I'm not preaching. Just know where he coming from.
For example there's a great guide in the android development forum that compares many different roms.

Anyone using ICS still?

I'm wondering just in case GB starts to lose support from app developers. I'd like to know if ics is 100% stable at this point, and all features work. I'm all about stability and having everything work the way it was intended.
Bling is cool, as long as it doesn't introduce glitches and hitches.
Ummmm....ICS is pretty dead I dont know if anyone still uses it.....JB is more stable now I have no issues with any app

Only issue with both ics and jb on the infuse is camera stuttering on video recording...actually ics may have a couple mote bugs

Well, GB is pretty dead too, according to some here. But at least it's 100% stable. (at least the revenant rom is) But after perusing the JB threads, it would seem that there are still issues to be ironed out. It may be "good enough" for some, but good enough is not good enough for me.
I guess it looks like I'll be staying with GB for as long as possible. The only reason I upgraded to GB was because some apps no longer work on Froyo.
If you actually flash a Jb ROM I'm willing to bet you won't find something you use daily that has any issues I'm using carbon nightly and I don't have any issues....honestly GB doesn't have really any features I couldn't be on GB anymore

OK, please elaborate more. On JB, does flash work? GPS? And what go you mean GB doesn't have any features? I mean, GB works 100% as far as apps and functionality so I'm confused. It does what I ask it to. What would JB give me that GB doesn't? Are you talking about bells and whistles?

if by flash you mean torch yes gps works everything works that you would use daily im on carbonrom and there is nothing that i use (and i use everything) that doesnt work or has bugs
OK, but what does JB do that GB doesn't from a functionality standpoint?

I still use GB. I would not describe myself as a heavy user though. I use the phone mostly for the call, text and camera function.
I like my gmail, calendar and contacts sync'ed.
I don't have all the fb, twitter etc
When I tested out JB, I found a few things I liked:
1. gtalk updated better.
2. gmail had other options. Scrollable widget. Calendar had scrollable widget also. Calendar has more detailed display
3. Chrome worked. Native Browser was better.
4. Google body (now defunct-ed) worked..it needed a 3.0+ platform.
5. I don't use it but others like the theme engine.
6. The weather update on the lock screen was a nice touch.
7. The quick launch from the lock screen was neat...although I don't usually use the lock screen.
8. Back up and restore apps is more comprehensive.
9. Google Now and Google Keep is neat to try.
There were others but I forget...
For my phone, I still like the simpler GB interface and the battery life (less processes running means less battery usage)
fwiw, Entropy said his cm9 was stable..and "dead" too. Supposedly he had a more updated one but never release. Supposedly, aremo/he may have a different cm10?..I'm not sure though...
My final thoughts...to each his own...find something that you like...

Thanks for the info. I don't see anything on that list that is a must have though. Hopefully, GB will be supported by app devs until next spring when my contract is up. Carry on.
yeah..nothing must have..just interesting to test.
jb may be a step up in the most updated device designed to run it with support from chip set manufacturer. (ex: gn2, sgs3, sgs4)
for the most part, i prefer a tablet or pc...my phone is mostly a phone/digital assistant...but i suspect i'm a minority here

Well...unless it was fixed recently...camera is still wonky is it not? Stuttering with 720p recording...that's pretty major to a lot of people, although I myself can live with out it...it was a pretty major downside of jb/ics...on the occasion I wanted to get a video I really couldn't :/, but IMHO that one con doesn't weigh out the pros
But you can't say gb doesn't really have any features when they do have a fully working camera...just saying

But most people realize they're not going to be shooting hollywood movies with the thing. I'm not complaining though, it's good enough for what I need.
I thought ICS was the only version for the infuse with working full encryption?
I have 10GB of organized GB Roms/themes, ICS Roms/themes(lost files ), Tweaks for GB/ICS, all old recovery stuff, and 3 open source kernels Samsung had released. I have talked to 3-4 forum moderators for approval and I will be creating around 150 links for the infuse community for lost/broken links and there may/may not be broken but will all be on dev-host 4 u guys. I am hopping this will help u guys b4 I leave. I am hopping to make this post within the next week or 2 in the general section. Cheers :thumbup:
I am also going to be posting all the links to EVERY official post
Note* this is all I have left, I had a partition failure and I lost all I had but these files due to being on DropBox, I am still hopping to retrieve my missing files and Ken has been helping me all the way!=)
