[Q] Need help picking a custom ROM. - Motorola Atrix 2

I really want to upgrade my phone to a 4.1 custom ROM that is compatible with system themes or a 4.0 custom ROM with system themes capabilities (CM,AOKP, etc.). I could not find any 4.0 ROMS with system theme compatibility (currently running SwiftyTrixy 1.3). I tried MagicMod 4.1 based ROM but the lack of video camera functionality made me revert back to a 4.0 ROM. I need a 4.1 ROM to have video camera working and be suitable as a daily driver. Tethering functionality included would be nice but is not a deal breaker. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks.

Have you looked at the Paranoid Android ROM? It's nice, and a suitable daily driver for me. Video camera works if you apply the fix from altered in his thread. But I don't think tethering is working at the moment.

I actually just saw that today but I also noticed it was in Alpha still so I wasn't sure if it was stable enough to use as a daily driver but I read plenty of positive feedback. I have PA-Grouper 2.56 on my Nexus 7 and absolutely love it so this might be the best option. Any noticeable bugs in your experiences with the Atrix version? Also, thank you very much for the fast reply.

I am trying to pick a rom too for my Atrix2 (ATT US). I am still stock on ginger bread.
Questions:
1. Looks like NUMA ROM is the best so far? It's based on the final ICS release from ATT, that mean less bugs I suppose?
2. This rom is in Beta? does this mean it will go official soon?
3. After flashing to NUMA Rom, can I go back to gingerbread if I want to? or will there be limitations?

Well, we can't get oc to stick on boot yet, the ffc is botched but video recording and camera work. Flash still doesn't sync properly. And whatever other bugs that have been noted in the PA thread. I say you should at least try it out
It's the smoothest ROM I've used on this phone.

If you want to be able to go back to GB from ICS, you have to be on Jim's ICS leak 1. Do not update to official ota if you wish to have the option to return to GB.
Numa is a very good ROM. Read through the thread to find any possible bugs that others may have found, though i know the list is short.
Note: I repeat.. If you get Jim's ICS leak 1, do not update it to leak2/OTA, as you will no longer be able to revert back to GB.

Thx. Yes, I am aware that I should not update to ICS OTA or leak2. I have been clicking No on the OTA prompt and sticking to GB till now.
Do I need to update to Jim's Leak1 before I can try out NUMA?

Yes you'll have to be on leak 1 before going to numa. Also you'll need to fxz to a clean stock 2.3.6 before trying to put the leak on your phone. Don't set up any accounts once on clean 2.3.6. If you follow Jim's post you'll be just fine :thumbup:

So I finally got around to flashing the PA ROM today. Its easily one of, if not the best ROM I have used on this phone, especially for being in alpha. I actually didn't encounter some of the known bugs listed such as black lockscreen, rotation issue, or bootloop at motorola logo. One issue in particular I did not see previously mentioned on the dev forum was LTE not working. The first thing I looked at was the APN settings and tried setting each one that came preinstalled with the ROM but I was not able to get LTE. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix? Also no third party flashlight apps work from what I tried. I can confirm tether is not working as well. I'm looking forward to more good news about this ROM than Christmas

Awesome, thanks for that flashlight link. Any advice about the LTE by any chance? I heard it can be kind of finnekey on CM or similar ROMS.

[Q] How to update to GB

Hi guys most of you might find this question silly but there are some of us newcomers who are still getting into this!
So, I rooted my phone, have ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, version 3 and my question is how we're going to update to official GB when it becomes available? Will we do it through official T-Mobile update, or will some of you guys make it available for us?
Thank you all!
Yes...
you should be about to get it either way. If you get the official update you will probably lose root... If you wait a few there will be a rooted version posted by one of the many xda members...

One more dumb question: Why is everybody so excited about the official GB update, when we have right now a few GB leaked versions with some custom ROMs (Bionix from TeamWhiskey, etc... ) available, for which as I hear, many say are excellent? Is this official one gonna be better in any significant way than these custom already out? Thanks! )

OK, I get it... So, all these unofficial GBs are sort of limited because they lack these LG stuff they're (hopefully) putting into the official one. That's why it's smart to wait a bit more.
Hopefully it will fix most or all the problems.

Yes, that's the case. The leak has issues (which makes sense, it's not a finished build), and almost all Gingerbread mods are based on the leak so they have the same issues. I know CM7 is using the Gingerbread source instead and has fixed a lot of the issues, but not all of them.
The official update is not only going to be completely stable (hopefully) but will come bundled with better drivers/kernel support which will fix most of the common issues with the phone (hopefully).
I've gone through an Over The Air update to Android before, and if it's like what I experienced, you're going to get a pop-up that asks if you want to update now or later. Choose later if you want to keep root, someone here will have the official build rooted probably within the hour but definitely within the first couple of days.
In the mean time though, don't be scared of trying out one of the ROMs that are available. I swear by CM7, but I've heard wonderful things about EagleBlood and Ultimate too.

I have heard that official updating the rooted phone could actually brick it? And when a mod is nightly version, does it mean it it not completely stable? I am interested in CM7, but I could not find a stable version on their site.
Thanks!
i have question also since it's related to thread title. i'm running stock right now but rooted. once i update to gingerbread cm7, will i have to install all apps and settings all over? and will call log and stuff like that disappear also?

You should be able to get all of that stuff after startup my hitting the square boxes in the initial setup. Worked for me yesterday with the Eagleblood 2.3.4 ROM, when someone recommended it to me rather than Titaniumbackup which screwed up my phone a lot because I went from Froyo to GB

When I did an OTA update, it kept all of my apps and settings. I can't remember if it preserved call log.

I don't know if it will brick or not, my OTA was not rooted. And CM7 nightlies are NOT completely stable, but they're on build 58 by now and the ROM works perfectly fine. The only issue I can see with the phone is the top bar they added to the notifications menu that has toggle-able settings like WIFI, GPS, etc sometimes doesn't show up and in the camera, it calls both cameras "back" instead of one being "front".
But if you're concerned with stability that much, use the leak or EagleBlood.

AT&T official gingerbread for Captivate discussion

I am opening this thread to discuss the new official release from AT&T and Samsung. Details can be found here.
I'm not sure why discussion rooting was a reason to close a thread, but I guess a overzealous mod is better than no mod.
I hate to burst your bubble but there's already an active thread about the official AT&T Gingerbread release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437947
I am not sure how much needs to be discussed. It is the same rom that was leaked back in 11/16/2011. Developers have done some amazing stuff with the Rom so far. All that is left for them to do really is add BLN and voodoo color to the kernel. I am not sure if having the source will do anything more for the Rom themselves.
FYI - Mod don't like ppl reopening closed threads.
yes I was active on that thread. It was locked by a mod because people started to discuss how to root the new release. zergRush does not work on it.

I had the exact type of rom running on my phone. Mini kies told me I was already running the latest rom. So, I did one click back to KB2 then used mini kies.
Ah, my apologies then.

I also had Tethering manage FC on me, but only right after I flashed it on the first reboot. I have not seen it FC again. I am very familiar with the Fugu kernel swap and think it great method, but my issue that I don't have a source of the kies released KK4 kernel. Do you know how to gernerate or extract an ODIN flashable kernel from the running image?
I'm running Cyanogenmod kang build 7.2 right now but I gotta ask is it worth going to stock gingerbread? How stable is it? I'll be honest I miss some of the touchwiz apps, but IMO the stock froyo rom sucked. At the very least I'd probably root and remove the AT&T BS, but IMO The froyo rom ran slower and buggier than the stock eclair rom! I really just want everyone's general opinion of it. Its a tough call. I got my phone running pretty stable with Cyanogenmod right now and its out of warrenty anyway so it might not even be worth my time anyway.

Check the KK4 leak thread for the tar.
No one has confirmed that the KK4 leak is exactly the same of the offical KK4. That is my only hesitation. I would like to be sure that I am running the AT&T KK4 release

Well the camera is a heck of a lot better the AOSP. It's worth it, even though it's still RFS, it's snappy and way better the KB1 ever was.
Yeah speaking of rfs I'd definitely be putting a lag fix on. I might look into it, and yes I agree about the camera, in fact honestly the hate against touchwiz is unwarranted. All the touchwiz apps are better, even the launcher is better than vanilla android one(not counting cyanogenmod that uses adw, which is one if the best). Only thing I did notice is without touchwiz the rom is faster, so obviously it adds bulk but the apps are so much better!

I never did get slacker radio and maps working at the same time on kk4. Even with tweaks I mentioned in another thread, slacker started dying after about a day of use. No problems like that with cm7. Thats why I am mostly interested if they actually made any changes from the leak. I doubt it though.
Ginger Bread is here
Im updating currently to official ginger bread
Didn't you notice that Samsung & at&t dropped lots of original Gingerbread features? like the CRT screen-off animation... I can't find it on the new official GB update one.
Is CarrierIQ still present in the official build? Curious. It was in the leak.

For those of you that have flashed this, I'm a little intimidated by the fact that there is a boot.img in the zip. Will installing this overwrite the bootloader?
Just to let everyone know that most everything is now working, GPS, Home button, BT is fixed, several more APNs added, DATA works.
What is still broken is wifi and video. You can use apps that use their own decoding, but we will fix that after we have wifi fully working.
We are very close on wifi, rdavisct and I have eliminated 90% of the errors we were seeing in dmesg about wifi startup, but we still have 3 or 4 errors that we need to fix before it will work.

No, not yet. We will need to work on that, to make it work for 2nd system. Also it is ONLY flashable using the Atrix 2 Bootstrap utility, no bootmenu or safestrap, as it will not execute the updater script correctly, and somethings don't get installed correctly with bootmenu or safestrap.

I think it is. There was not a big change between ICS and JB kernel wise. Google Now should work perfectly too. Also. It's CM. So it's worth the trouble.

Here's the flash requirements ....
How to flash :
- Tested on ATT and Asia verison mb865
- U should flash this rom on an ICS rom(I mean, your kernel should be 3.X, and your stock rom should be ics)
- Install safetrap or bootstrap to flash this rom
- Boot menu manager is not supported ATM!!!!
- Wipe/Reboot & enjoy it
If I recollect Jim pulled the ICS leak. SVC7 requires ICS leak as does the CM10.
Searched and haven't found it. Is it hiding anywhere?

If you are not on at&t you will need to install the leak for your region.
And yes project butter is working just fine with CM10. Since we are on a 3.X kernel everything will work just fine.. the difference between ICS and JB will be small, JB will be more like when we went from 2.2 to 2.3... it changed names, but more like a medium upgrade... LOL

I'm using jb on my kindle fire with the 3.0.3 kernel and it smokes ics as far as usability goes.much smoother transitions, apps open faster etc. benchmarks aren't much different but i do find the user experience to be a major improvement. The fire has the same cpu/gpu as our a2 so I expect similar results.

Couple of questions, new member and user of atrix 2

Hi guys, im new in the site as ive bought an atrix 2 yesterday, and i have a few queries regarding the ics update. I havent updated to ics yet.
1) should i download the 10 free ea games before updating or after?
2) how do i use a music file from the sd card as a ringtone?
Welcome Night Wing!
First I would recommend updating to ICS before installing any other apps.
Second, in whatever music app you use, long press on a song and you should get an option to select it as your ringtone.
Welcome to the club. Be sure to read all the stickies mate!
Or you can drop it in the Ringtones folder on your sdcard... reboot, and you should see it in the ringtones selection in Settings.
You might have to trim it down if it's a big audio file.. not sure
Sent from my phone's mind
I updated to ICS (OTA) the day it was released and it was nothing but trouble for me (I have a thread about it). After about a month of dealing with issues AT&T sent me a replacement phone. It's gingerbread and I'm leaving it that way.
That is my personal experience though, I'm sure there are others that have had success or I wouldn't think the update would still be available. If you do update, I'd be very curious to hear about your results.

i tried every single ics rom ,and found that CM roms have too many bugs for me to have it for daily mostly camera issues, miui roms have real great potential but batt is really wierd, swiftytrix is by far the most stable (in my experience) plus is batt friendly, but ill stay with scv7, fast and smooth just love it , even without init.d support available

I've serious lag issues and sometimes even reboots on the stock ics. (never had any on GB)! I seriously wanna try a custom rom which is fast and snappy! I wanted to check out cm10 but it still has too many bugs. Other option is Scv7 now. Which 1 is recommended (if other good roms which are stable without bugs, do mention) ?

CM10 ain't got no cam. That's the main thing for me. And how stable is the magicmod?

2.3.6 VictoryRom -> ?

Hi Guys,
I'm currently on 2.3.6 VictoryRom v1.1 which new ROM has ICS and will give me the best performance?
Will it be as simple as installing from .zip using clockwork?
Thanks for the help!

To use ICS roms you have to upgrade to ICS first.
As for roms, it's all personal opinion what is best. If HDMI/lapdock support isn't essential for you, I would recommend CM10.

Cm10 roms are not stable.you can update to stock pics and root your phone.then pimp it(using pimpmyrom) free in play store.

Uhh..no CM10 is actually really stable. There are a couple really minor bugs left.. but it's Jelly Bean so it's smooth as butter (project butter) and is well worth the tiny bugs.

yeah, cm10 is very stable.. no random reboots or anything for me.. sure it has a few bugs, but nothing to stop you from using it as your daily driver. Actually what keeps making me go back to cm10 is that its so friggin smooth and ofcourse the little customisations you can do and themes..
For the OP, I dunno much about the GB roms, but id recommend both cm10 and and magicmod with performance and customisations in mind and that they are JB based
If you want full functionality, then all the ICS roms are good, just read thru the threads for the ROMs and devs description and screenshots and try the one according to need.. the latest one is numa and the first one is SCV7 which still is one of the best roms for our phone on ICS. If you ask me, you'll know which one to use only after youve flashed enough
Also remember to read the devs description of the ROM and how to flash properly, cause you need to use different recoveries for different ROMs. So better if you read up as much as you can. Do keep a backup of your stock ICS on ur sdcard, (i have like 3 now stock, cm10, numa) but you know how it goes, since youre already on a ROM..
Mostly youre gonna love your phone more after you get on ICS and flash one of the ICS and JB roms. Happy flashing !
EDIT: i missed it, but better if you post questions in the Q&A thread..
Thanks for the reply. I'll try CM10.
When installing ICS, will all I need to do is install .zip Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip? for ICS leak#1 or will I have to downgrade first?

yes.. I got Optimus G Lets see how it works out. I was actually about to recommend your rom to this guy.. So was checking your both roms. Anyway We will meet again. I was off the development for sometime as I had SGS2 (I9100), It had so many roms that I did nothing. But Now as I'm on LGOG may be I might need to cook. if time permits.
anyway from my side a BIG THANK YOU to you and Jim.. for putting so much work on this tread.
I loved Victory Rom. I'm sad to hear there wont be another one for my A2
CM10 doesn't have a functioning camera? doh
