Hey all,
I've been trying to install custom kernels and do the following:
clear cache > clear dalvik cache (to be safe) > flash kernel
but every kernel I try gives me random reboots, even without applying OC/UV. Could someone help me figure out what it is about my atrix that causes this ? would greatly appreciate it.
rooted, boot loader unlocked, stock ATT atrix on GB.
Flash a custom rom, your running stock GB with a custom kernel never really turns out 100% also faux's kernels seem more stable atm

was trying every update faux released, was really hoping there was a way to get it working without a rom since none really catch my eye / are to early in development.
that being said i'll probably end up manning up and doing it or waiting for cm7 to be done.

I wanted to root for a while, just looking for a rom that looks and feels stock, but has better battery and all..
well I followed
watch?v=-hPSrzRqtX4&feature=player_detailpage (cannot post link as I'm new)
and successfully got to supra rom.. well I don't like the vanilla 5 screen non sense homescreen, though I do like the crt visuals lol...
Anyways, I can't even use my wifi, it just says error, and I NEED wifi, I use it at home non-stop as I have horrible service.
Well I tried to switch to viperRom - I did the reset in bootloader, then full wipe, then cache and all that..
well, once I installed the viperRom .zip, I started my phone and its just the same as before... I can't switch roms! I know this is prolly some nooby thing I don't understand but I've been searching all night and just want to get everything working and need to sleep haha
any help GREATLY APPRECIATED
What do you mean about not being able to switch roms?

I figured out that I was trying to flash to viperRom using only the update
I'm now on viper, with stock kernel and still cannot get wifi to work, any ideas? Any searching turns up kernel issues, and to revert to stock.. well I'm on stock kernel

unless you're having hardware wifi issues, which the best way to determine would be through running a stock rom and stock kernel, my guess is you have a kernel and rom mismatch issue.
the way htc has their kernels compiled includes two things: kernel and modules.
the modules include a wifi module.
if you flash a kernel and then load a rom, chances are the rom might overwrite either the kernel, the kernel modules, or both.
the best way to avoid this scenario is to flash the rom first and then flash the kernel. the kernel flash will load the kernel itself and its modules. i.e. if you're on a rom you want to stay with now, flash the kernel again and then wifi should work.
hope that helps!
Thank you, o figured this out myself, but you were right lol I was using 2.3.3 roms on 2.3.4

hi, so im actually planning on buying a motorola Atrix me860 here in Taiwan..
after a LOT of reading in these forums, im still not that confident in the steps that i have to go through in order to get a functional unlocked, rooted, custom rom'ed GB Atrix.. so here is what i have learned from my "research"
1. first, i have to unlock the BL by installing IHOP via fastboot (im guessing this is regardless of what stock intl firmware or if it is froyo or gb)
2. after that, i root my device by fastboot using the method in the 2nd post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
3. then, this is where i get a bit lost, in order to fix the ram issue found in unlocked international users, i need to flash the rom 2.3.4 OrangeFR system image, 2.3.4 OrangeFRwebtop image, and the corresponding tegrapart boot image
now, what if i want to install a different custom rom, like the cherry pie or alien, along with faux's kernel, do i just flash them over the Orange FR via CWM, and if so, do i still retain the ram fix? or does it only work with the OrangFR rom?
help will be greatly appreciated

You can install any kernel you want. Check out Faux's thread, he has stock kernels and unified overclocked ones for which you don't need to worry about tegrapart.

what about the ram fix? will installing his kernel fix the ram issue?

Yes it does, I think it does even more by reallocating it.

oh.. okay..
so do i still need flash the rom 2.3.4 OrangeFR system image, 2.3.4 OrangeFRwebtop image, and the corresponding tegrapart boot image?
or do i just go directly to flashing alien/cherry rom and then faux kernel (which you say will also fix the ram issue)?
Nope you have to flash the faux's kernel first and then you can install quite any rom you want like cherry or alien.
Flashing to the kernel will make it international ect... not the rom (correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think so) so you have to flash the kernel first.
ooohhh, okay okay, i think that's right, thank you
sooo, i have to flash the orange fr stuff, then faux's kernel, then any intl custom rom?
which app did u root with me860. im on HK version
So im currently running the most recent version of cm7 stable version but i want to flash over to a nightly build. I currently dont know which nightly build to go with. Also i have tiatmat kernel with my cm7 version. I dont know if i should just flash the nightly build rom over my current one or what? If anyone can give me some pointers on how to do this. Im just looking to not having to set up everything again than what i did. Also im trying to figure out the best setup for overclocking my phone in terms of undervolting or anything that saves battery but pulls out the beast out of my phone. My phone currently runs at about 1113mz. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!
Just go to the link for your device and download the latest cm7 nightly. Flash like you would any ROM, since you're already on cm7 there's no need to wipe

Yes. Do this UNLESS the nightly is a different android version. If it is a different android version, then it is recommended to wipe data before flashing.
Well i just flashed over to a different rom. I flashed over to Gingerbread-Evo-Deck [1.3d][2.3.5 beta] with SalvageZen kernel. Im having a bit of a problem though the phone heats up to around 41 C. Thats with the phone running at around 1113mhz. I wanted to know if theres any way i can do a set up to keep it at a stable speed & temp?
Have you tried setting profiles in Setcpu?
Yeah ive tried setting down some profiles but the phone heats up with minimal use. Since before i had the tiatmat kernel & flashing over to the salvagezen kernel has helped.
I know that the overclocking possible is pretty low (I've heard 1.1Ghz is really all it can manage).
But i'd still like to try. I'm running a custom ROM currently and know it involves flashing the kernel.
Does that require a wipe or anything? And are all kernels compatible with custom ROMs? Thanks to anyone to answers..
The only kernel with 1.2Ghz overclock is doomkernel. I used it before at 1.2Ghz and no problems came up as I only use it when I'm playing heavy games.
All kernels should be compatible to all custom ROMs, except for FXP CM7 which requires it's own custom kernel or DoomKernel FXP-CM7 and requires an unlocked bootloader.
The same goes for Luke's MIUI ROM(and all that's based on it), it requires Luke's custom kernel, or DoomKernel for Luke's MIUI.
Other than that, they should work good with any custom kernels/ROMs. And no, installing a custom won't wipe anything. But it is recommended to wipe the cache and dalvik cache after installing a custom kernel.
i think the x10_029e_Th Kernel also has 1228mhz overclocking. But yes i heard somewhere the safe value is around 1.1Ghz.
Okay thanks. I have another question:
I've looked, and a lot of people recommend the TEAM ROM. But there's also the Th ROM.
I was thinking of changing off the MIUI one I'm on now. Which of those two would be best? I'm looking for performance

I am running the ThGO2 v7.5 ROM atm, i find it extremely smooth. TEAM is pretty good as well, how about you try out both of them and be the judge of it yourself as i don't find much difference in the roms unless there is major lag or something.
Well I'd love to try both, but I hate having to wipe all my data and stuff all over again.
What's the differences really? Just in a nutshell.

I think just basically the visual features are different. The performance as i said i don't notice much difference but TEAM does offers their app "Appman" which basically shows you all updates for their roms etc and different roms include different apps which i can't remember specifically which apps are included in which rom. So just try them out, i don't think you would be disappointed with any.
Okay. I was reading the Th one, said you have to backup APN? Is that data?
And I also saw three different builds for that one (stock, CM, and some other one). What are the differences there? CM has "Super speed" next to it, is that a faster ROM?
Hello,
I've been frequently checking the web for the official JB update and everything i've always have read is that it will be released soon, not OTA yet so I'm going a bit desperated about having JB on my s2. I'm actually on 4.0.4 official (yeah, the brick evil kernel) and I'm pretty happy with it but I'm very curious about all those 4.1.2 custom ROM's roaming around the net.
What's your advice for this ROM's? Are they worthy to install them at this point in my device? Are they fully working with all the JB functions? Or at this point should I wait for the official ROM and give chance the community to work in ROM's based on it?
Greetings, any advice/hint will be much apprecciated.

Fully working now, yes.
Now go out and do some reading so you can take your pick.

Well regardless of what above poster says, no they are not fully working. However the bugs that are present are not serious and most people will not come across them.
However I would HIGHLY recommend that if you flash the leaked stock rom or a custom one based on it you will need to flash Joboo kernel as it fixes the most annoying bug which is the lock screen delay which is really bloody annoying. It also increases battery life as Philz kernel is bad for this. You can also freeze non-needed stock apps to increase life more.
By the way incase you didnt know, since you have 4.0.4 stock you dont need to worry about the brick bug if you simply flash a custom kernel like Siyah instead of keeping stock.
Okay, they are not fully working I guess. I can always be wrong.
Still, reading time.

Yeah, actually I did know that I could flash Siyah to avoid the brick risk but I just wanted to do it all at the same time, I mean, root -> flash Siyah ->jump to another custom ROM. That's why my question about waiting for stock 4.1.2 for more stable ROM's before flashing and rooting :victory:

You dont need to "root" and then flash Siyah, Siyah gives you root.
If coming from stock rom/kernel all you need to do is....
Flashing custom rom:
Flash Siyah kernel via ODIN
Reboot into custom recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Flash rom zip (and gapps if using CM based rom)
Reboot device.
Note that flashing a custom rom will come with its own kernel so it replaces Siyah.
Flashing Stock Rom:
Flash stock rom via ODIN
Flash compatible custom kernel
Note: If you using leaked JB you should use nothing but the Joboo kernel. If flashing GB or ICS rom you should use Siyah.
