Want to hook up my father in law with an Atrix 2 to use on moldcell in Moldova. It's locked and fully stock on 2.3.5. Wondering if there is a nice looking, super stable ROM that has a proper Russian locale built in, and is SIM unlocked. I also haven't researched how to root yet, so if someone could link me to the root and custom recovery thread got 2.3.5 that would be great. He leaves next week, so I need to knock this out.
Girlfriend speaks Russian, so she can help me navigate the phone once the locale is switched. Thanks!

It can not be a "new" phone.... They have been shipping with 2.3.6 since Jan. This is most likely a (b) stock phone if it is still on 2.3.5, that or you bought it used, and the person restored the 2.3.5 fxz to it.... Either that or it has been sitting in a box for a VERY long time.
Please update it to 2.3.6 from the OTA, before you do ANYTHING to it. You can still root 2.3.6. There are a TON of wireless and data updates as well as battery management updates in 2.3.6
Here are two very good threads to look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650

There are not any "Russian" locale ROMs on here at the moment, sorry.
Sorry this came from a friend at AT&T. It's new, screen cling, sealed the whole bit and 2.3.5. Unique scenario I know.
I thought I read some where that there was some work on a Russian locale. Maybe it was an experimental build and the project never got finished. Thought I'd at least check.
So recommendation is to OTA update, then root huh?
Thanks for all the feedback!

Here is a deodexed Russian language pack that worked for me when I was on VictoryROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26120276&postcount=12
But, as Jim said, update to 2.3.6 through Settings>About phone first. Then root. Then make a backup through recovery. Then you can try out roms..
Also, I'm pretty sure that there are multi-language roms on the horizon for the A2...
Also, there are no roms which will unlock the sim card (subsidy unlock). You will need to contact your carrier or find a service online..

Really appreciate all the helpful tips and suggestions. I'm pretty savvy when it comes to rooting, installing a recovery and installing ROMs, but language mods are new to me. So to be clear is this a Russian language CWM zip that will only work with Victory ROM?
Finally, could anyone give me an opinion on what is the current most stable, smooth and closest to CM7 style ROM on the A2? I know ICS is close to release, but I need to get my father in law set up now as he will be leaving before it is released
Happy to say that I've got a rooted Atrix 2 w/ a fully Russian locale!
Thanks all for the help!

There's several REALLY great roms out right now, SCv6 being I guess the latest. Lithium is very good, nice look and feel. Debloated, which is nice, and I've overclocked on that rom (though not all devices can handle this) to 1250MHz stable.
Bullet rim is sleek and snappy, though I miss the drop down toggles in the status bar.
SCv6 just released as well,very good rom there as well.
My two cents...

Custom ROMs, Fission will be out as soon as the SBF for global drops
i wanna hear what is being done to use this sexy phone on tmobile lol
good stuff also, keep the work up
Can't wait for Fission to come to the D2 Global. I had the regular D2 and loved it! I'm getting great benchmarks on the D2 Global with all the bloat running so I can't wait to see Fission on it! Keep up the good work guys!
There was a post on Howard forums by a guy who claimed he'd tell a developer how to unlock the US GSM radio bands for the D2 G and the D Pro I don't know if he's lying or not but it might be worth looking into if you wanted to put it in a ROM for the D2 Global once the SBF comes for it.
Hehehe what's sbf, I might pick up the droid2 we, but I don't like motblu, and this would be awesome!!

SBF means system boot file. Basically flashes your phone back to a stock ROM and that way if you tweak to much or mess something up you can flash the SBF and you will have a relatively clean slate.
Any chance of getting a port for the D2? Playing around with one of these in the store, seeing a bunch of enhancements. (Themes/Scenes, a predictive-like function in the dialer, SMS/MMS enhancements and a few more that I can't remember...)
A port would be awesome.

Droid 2 has been rooted, themed, and ROM'd for a while now.. Maybe you're misunderstanding something?.. or I am.
Fission ROM Manager now working with Global. All thats in there for now is this ROM. Other stuff still needs to be tested and Fission 2.3 for Droid Global will pop up later today or tomorrow for those that are willing to flash with no SBF. I just installed Fission on Global and it is running sweet
Fission ROM Manager will be a work in progress as I test themes and other stuff so please be patient while FRM populates with Global stuff.
Check the ROMs and Themes download page on teamdefuse.com for info!
Come to IRC when the test build for Global is ready to be sent for testing...will be once DX builds are completed.
Please be patient as things arebeing tested and uploaded to Fission ROM Manager
You guys move fast. I just dropped and broke my D2 and looked in here to see progress before replacement. Maybe I should move to the Global instead... hmm.
I can not wait. Getting sick of all this Blur crap. Almost went back to my regular D2 . . .
Can't wait for SBF to drop so we can install this, the battery life with Motoblur is horrid.
Milestone 2?
I'm a little confused, living in the UK here and the device we have for sale to us here is the Motorola Milestone 2. I am very interested in the development of custom ROMs on this device (and have installed "Droid 2 Bootstrap" which is working nicely.)
My question is, are there any differences between the Milestone 2 and the Droid 2 World? I'm guessing the keyboard layout will be set for US layout ($ instead of £ but that's how my milestone 2 appears to be functioning anyway strangely.)
Any guidance on this would be highly appreciated, I have done a lot of research but was unable to confirm if the Milestone2 and the Global are the same device other than the paint on the keyboard keys?

I have to work today from 12-7 so I am trying to get the first RC build out before I leave so far everything is running nice
I am not sure if the sim card function will work yet...what has been discovered so far with unlocking for att and t-mobile, anything?
Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.
Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

That's legit Dman, it seems you learn a new trick on a daily basis; ports, roms and now kernels. I'm loving how the infuse development is still kickin!
So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!
Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.
You can find that here.: http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/

See pics below of my MT4G running the MIUI ROM.
So basically i was wondering what rom i should get(already bored of the MIUI XD), just give me some suggestions, and also what else can i do with perm root S-Off except for flashing roms and installed root only apps, is there anyways i can possibly change the Bootscreen where it says MyTouch 4g to something else? thanks

personally i really like miui, the themeing and customization imo is one of the most powerful and best on a rom, and it's cm7 based, gotta love dat cm7

be careful with this part. If u brick your phone, and it doesnt have the original splash screen, you 99.99999% wont be able to get a warranty replacement if u turn it on and it gets stuck on the splash screen saying anything but the official logo. I love customizing, but after bricking my last phone just by taking the battery out, I've chosen not to take risks like that. thats the only thing im keeping the same.

Facial recognition does not work in IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1. A planned update will include that feature (read the OP, it's all in there). If you're dying to try out face recognition unlock, give Zip's Creamed Glacier a shot. However, his version is completely stock (AOSP) whereas IceColdInsomnia is AOKP, meaning it has been modified with tweaks and customizations, the most significant which is ROM Control. It basically gives you a few more options in the settings to tweak to your liking; it also includes the option to skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons while the screen is off. That is one feature I cannot live without...
Anyways, yes, you wipe everything and flash it. You can disregard the kernel posted at the link because one is already included in the ROM.
check out "Zips Creamed Glacier"

the most well rounded ICS Rom in my opinion is "Zips Creamed Glacier"
*usb works
*facial recognition works
*low mic issue has been resolved.
*both cameras are working
i've been using it for the past three days and i don't have anything negative to say. check it out im pretty sure u guys won't be disappointed.
Personally I believe this ROM is the best:

It combines the two best ICS ROMs together, forming the most optimal one for now. Too bad the download has been taken down for the time of being.
I finally talked my wife into letting me root her mt4g. I jumped into mine too fast and had issues. Actually I had my bootloader unlocked by htc, and it took me many tries to reverse the damage of HTC method, but i finally got mine right. But today, from the time i pryed it outta her hand til i finished, took me about 10 to 15 minutes, since i have all the files in the right places. Im pretty good now, but i was just ignorant a few weeks ago! I enjoyed doing hers. But she didnt want ics yet, so i put Darkside Sense 4 on hers for now. I am waiting just a tad bit longer, the I'm gonna move on to ics...

There's always a benefit of root my friend. First and for most is removing bloarware (AT&T preinstalled apps that take up memory and space in background) So many other reasons why root is best. How I describe it to people is like this. Taking a Governor off a car is similar to rooting an android phone. Technically there is only one ROM made from OTA ICS right now here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960679 but there are others in the development section built of previous ICS "Leaks" we obtained. Such as SCV7, Swifty Trix, CM10, MIUI and a stock based off OTA as well. Hope this helped explain a little. Enjoy the power of the Dark side! :thumbup:

Umm, cm10 is a true opensource rom and not based on any leak/OTA, it is compiled from scratch. The only files taken from ICS are a few libraries and kernel modules and the like, and those have no bearing on version of ICS they were taken from.

Yes, your right Jim. CM is device-wide... forgot to mention that. Shouldn't mater what version of ICS your on. As far as other ROMs go for on this device, as far as ICS goes, like I stated, one (two including stock/rooted) is only based off the official OTA ICS build. How did I know you'd come to CM's rescue in here Jim? lol. JP...keep up the good work man. Looking forward to your CM10 build! (Checking forums every half hour lol)

LOL... I will PM you with a link to my latest build, so you can see how it is. I have several testers now, but for me there are still a few bugs that make me, the perfectionist, not ready to release it to the world just yet.

Thanks man, you know I'm always willing to test as well. Well, as long as there's no hard brick possibility in the process lol. But with this new fxz back to ICS stock I'm feeling more secure now hahaha. Yes, I would be the perfectionist too if it came to making my own ROM. Probably why I never have attempted yet. Too much work n stress for me to handle. I give you Dev'so credit! Thanks for sharing link man. I'll give it a go n let you know how everything runs. (If I find anything new)

Tester
I am probably not an ideal tester, due to lack of technical knowledge regarding Android, but should you need a tester of the moderate abilities, and knowledge I would be more than willing to be of help if I actually was help. I currently am running the build of CM10 that is currently available, and am impressed with it, but look forward to your build with much anticipation. I can only take off my hat, as it were, to you, and all of the developers in this arena.

No, and no. No on 2nd system because it still uses the same underlying stock ICS kernel.
If you took the OTA, then you are stuck on ICS. This has been the case with major android releases and not being able to go backward for a very long time.
I have acquired a Motorola Atrix 2 from a best friend of mine. I have been following XDA for years thank you for all the help with my optimus v. I do not know how to tell which leak I have I apologize but I have looked at the threads until my eyes have I apologize but I have looked at the threads until my eyes have bled and then looked again and I still see so much conflicting information I do not know what to do or think anymore. I want to know if I am running scvc 7 ICS supercharged.. If I can go to another rom. I hope I find out I have one of the phones that I can go back to Gingerbread. My friend is clueless he has no answers for me. again I a I'm not exactly a noob but . I owe is much is i know so far to you all so thank you in advance

Post a screenshot of your about phone screen. If the kernel build has a mid july build date, then it is leak 1 and you can go back to GB using my script in the dev section.
Otherwise you can only run ICS based ROMs (yes you can run any ROM that is ICS based, just not GB based ones).
If you have issues it is easy to use the ICS FXZ, as we did not have that yet when leak one and two were out. Hence the issues and bricks. You MUST know which version of the phone though (ATT, Asian, or HK) To properly use an FXZ, or you have a chance to brick.
Had to break out my optimus v, and I would like to personally thank you for responding so quick. I expected to get really beat up I have been following you all for years and I know how it is horrible to be redundant here. Well my new friend it looks like I am on week 2. I do not know what to do where I should go from here but I will tell you what more stable even stock would be better even if it is a ICS leak. I don't know why they call it a leak if it came over the air does that mean AT&T in Motorola send out experimental software? the fact that I'm posting speaks to the power that this phone is an anomaly. Through the years I have never once had to post. All of my hard questions have been answered by you all in advance.

thank you, does this tell you that I'm on the second leak? I don't know where to look to find out how to install a permanent recovery.. I suppose I'll have to use boostrap.. scary concept....
and FXZ..New one to me. I'll search the threads more for that.. unless you want to throw new some more hints. my girlfriend and I, are so grateful

Think that's official. It's same as I have, and i fxz'd to official 4.0.4.
Going back to gingerbread is worthless. It'd be like going from Windows 7 back to xp.
We don't use bootstrap anymore, and If you have I'd fxz to stock, root it, and then install boot menu manager, or BMM. then can flash the newer stuff.
But be aware the what your on and Numa are the only fully functional and stable ones we have.

Hey thanks man. We bought this from my best friend actually it was a gift. It is on leak two I believe according to Jim and also it came with SCV7. It is already rooted. I am just confused as to the next step to do how to FXZ ..it is AT&T phone. I am scared to death I will brick this ! And the scary thing is I have rooted been custom ROMs and recoveries on many different phones for friends and coworkers but I have never encountered anything like this Motorola Edison

wow that is incredible. And there is a lot of love in this place. I appreciate that. My next move is to borrow my friends laptop as mine has died and get started hopefully this weekend. I will report the results. Did I say you guys were awesome? Voice love this place and I cannot wait to start my classes, I'm going to study Linux and computer technology at the local community college here. And from there who knows. Anyways thank you to you all and many like you for the inspiration I cannot wait to get my girls phone working 100 percent again.. Now to focus on the other problem I will try to read the thread and then I'll post later the screen seems possessed like it touches on its own I don't know if its a digitizer or a program problem because it seems to come and go at different times of the month. Very bizarre. Anyways thank you any tips are appreciated and I will keep you informed on this little project, and I'm going to start Searching the threads hoping I have the answer to someone else's question :thumbup:
