Hey ladies and gentlemen, I thought I'd share this piece of info for anyone that's unhappy with his/her Infuse due to performance/bug errors on the stock rom. I recently was feeling the same way until I did a full restore back to the stock build through recovery. This changed my Infuse experience 100%. My battery lasts about 2-3 times longer, and the phone has Zero lag. If you're having the issues I was after getting it stock from AT&T, I'd suggest trying this before becoming totally po'd with the phone. I'm not entirely sure what this fixed, but I did clear out the dalvik cache along with all the other info. Hope it helps!
Probably un-crufted RFS. That filesystem is known for performance degradation over time, hence Voodoo Lagfix for ext4 conversion.

So you are running 100% stock? And it has better battery than rom's......I dunno
Explain more. Like you did flash back to with ultimate unbrick or what

I have no experience with the custom Roms for the Infuse, but it's running faster than my old Nexus S now. Also, there was no flash involved. I just did the default recovery image located on the stock phone.
How'd you get to that?

Essentially, yes lol. I just wanted to put it out there though, because it really made a huge difference and may help out all those people with GB thirst because of performance and battery issues.

Are you coming from another phone, say, a 3G phone that the retailer may have taken the SIM card from and put into your A2?
The ATRIX 2 is a 4G phone, and if the SIM card from a 3G phone is used it will cause connectivity issues.

Yes,i used my sim card on my nokia phone and also on my Samsung galaxy pro. I don't have any issue to both phone before.

Not familiar with those phones. Try going to your provider's retail store and have them swap the SIM, that's where I'd start. I always request a new SIM card with each new phone, as they do have a shelf life -especially when swapping between two or more devices.

Try my bullet rom. I have netspeed tweaks + supercharged. Which increases data connectivity.

Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Are you in the US? Which atrix2 are you using?
What I noticed is that the at&t version is so tuned to at&t that it might have issues when you run it over other network because of some small frequency differences.
Previously I was using captivate which was also an at&t phone and I had similar problem but over time, there were several radio firmware that you could flash over and improve (or worsened ) the signal quality.
The atrix2 is not there yet..

Nop, you can proceed with the bootstrap but the thing of having CWM on boot it's that it something goes wrong when you install another rom (boot loop or something similar) is that you can reverse the damage by restoring a backup or flashing a another rom you have.
If you install the bullet rom keep in mind that it comes already with the CWM on boot feature so you don't need bootstrap anymore

Yup,that's what im thinking,i don't need to install CWM to run custom rom. But just like you said incase that i encounter problem i can't reverse the damage. I followed the instruction to put both the bootstrap and the CWM on the root of my SD card. I installed the bootsrap first and boot, and when im about to install the zip file of CWM, i can't find it. I tried many times to copy and paste and still the same,i can't find the CWM zip. What do you think is the problem?

Phone's signal is depended on hardware and its related firmware (baseband), so do not try many Roms to find the best for better signal (now we can't try to flash new baseband due to locked bootloader).
Ok I've read this before but can't find the answer now, I've rebooted my phone which is still stock, not rooted yet, turned my phone off then on, and it came on with a unlock sign? I've done nothing special yet why would my phone all of a sudden do this my phone is new since launch it was a pre-order, I've turned it off and on before this never happen before.any ideas?

Anyways, Ever since I've upgraded to ICS, I've been having serious cell-related network connection problems on my tmobile iemi-unlocked atrix 2, mb865(NOT Wi-Fi connectivity problems.) My signal is constantly going from 5-1 bars (several times a minute) in places where I previously experienced a solid 5 bars with gingerbread and my (also unlocked, on tmobile) iPhone 2g. Also, my carrier logo is disappearing and reappearing many times a minute as well. (Even when I have 5 bars.) Sometimes , I just get a red triangle with a white cross inside of it where the bars should be.
Sometimes, these problems are temporarily fixed when I enter airplane mode for a few seconds, then exit it. But within 15 minutes of exiting, I begin experiencing the same problems. Other times, they aren't fixed through entering/exiting airplane mode , and I have to reboot the device.
My question is, will installing a rom perhaps fix these problems? Since my network was fine on gingerbread, it's obviously not a hardware problem. I'm rooted, of course (but before rooting I experienced these problems as well.)
I obtained the iemi through at&t and not a shady third party unlocking business, if that makes any difference.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well it can't hurt to try a new rom.... wait it can haha but yes sometime even a factory restore can fix a lot of random issues. My buddy was running stock gingerbread on his phone and it had a messed up usb port. I then put CM7 on it and it worked magically so it is a possibility. I am currently running numa and it fixed my wifi issue where it would randomly turn off. But I think a good old factory restore could maybe fix it,
Try changing network selection from automatic to either 2g or 3g..it worked for me on my searet ota..

I believe your unlock will be there still. I could be wrong though. And if you have a sdcard it will be unaffected by the factory restore and new ROMs. But its a good idea to back it up every blue moon. And yes you can get your apps and app data back with titanium backup. Make sure it stores to sdcard and the same with ROMs.

Also, I backed up to titanium, did a factory reset, and restored from titanium. I still have the same problem. Could I possibly freeze some apps (using Gemini app manager) that involve the sim card? Would that avail to anything?

Yes. At least in my country the warranty is for one year. But, if you bought it the phone with the two year contract i think, the warranty should last two years.
And the other thing, i have no idea man. Sorry. I never experienced that, and i don't know what happen there. But, my advice is that you must go to the warranty and try.

There is one method in the android development section it has been there for months and it's the first post. There are to others that have been updated since it was posted last year also in the android development section. Lastly all the methods work you just have to CAREFULLY follow directions.
Yes its hard yo find all the tight files I have Odin 307 I think do you know if that will work with the files?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will work.
Is it beanstwon method that you are referring to?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it doesn't require Odin. It is just a one click method.
Oh OK I read a lot of the comments and they are positive feedback but as I watched on this guy on YouTube his comment section are loaded with this "messed up my phone" or "don't do this this doesn't work" very little comments that said this worked for me. If this doesn't work on the first try I understand using another USB port on the computer is an option and using a different cord other than the one Samsung gives you is also an option. Is there anything to know about before doing this? This phone s my daily driver and I really don't want to have to use a prepaid phone.
And Should I also download the stock ROM not rooted before doing in case it does like some kind of soft brick?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well I have never tried the one click method as I use Odin to root my phone. So get the stock roms as backup in case you run into problems with casual.
OK thank you so much for the advice and I'll shall let you know what happens.

If you hard brick your phone you send it to jtag and pay them to get it fixed because nothing else works.
If you are feeling squeamish about the whole thing then it is probably a better idea not to do it.

Just thought you might like to know that I just used CASUAL this morning to root my galaxy s3 on Verizon build VRBMF1 with no problem. CASUAL unlocks the bootloader and installs TWRP which I like so far. Just make sure you grab the right download and if it doesn't work the first time try again with a different mirror. There's a version of it floating around out there that for some reason wouldn't work with my drivers.
Hope this helps ease your mind a little. Oh btw I probably read 1000 posts about rooting and the best method and someone claims to have bricked their with every single one of them. It's a risk we take.
