Which rom... - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has the best battery life? I'm using cherry pie v 0.5 and the battery is half dead by the time I leave work! (I don't use the phone more than 10 texts while at work it used to last two days no problem with heavy use before I went to gingerbread)

nexus s. softare build for hardware and hardware build for software. its a google quality phone. the poor atrix got the crap kicked out of it with Motorola's crapware.
and blur. just wait for some real aosp roms and full cm7. this phone will be butter.
also look forward to ice cream sandwich. so we get some real support for qhd screens and hardware acceleration.

LOVE Alien.
The battery life is amazing.

I am using Alien v4 and Faux123's OC kernel. I average no less then 24 hours per charge with moderate-heavy usage.

I agree, alien is amazing

Ive tried Cherryblur, Alien, & Pie i'm currently using Darkside until Cyanogen goes post beta and i'm loving it. Battery life is great and performance is great as well. Haven't had any issues with it either.

What is a stable rom

What is a stable gingerbread rom that supports camera?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Most consider stable, fully operational. There is NOT a GB rom that is this.
CM7 and MIUI have no FC issues or anything like that.
With cm7, expect poorer (not terrible) battery life, NO gps and they are nightlies/experimental so issues will pop up. There is NOT a stable build.
You could also try Asgard
+1 s15274n to wht he says! i love cm 7
I like Axura, looks good runs great and the battery life is excellent. Also its the only ROM I can get gps to work.
Hey guys thanks I think ill just wait till the bionix gb rom comes out
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Im using M.I.U.I, and i think that its pretty good. My battery life its waay better than with CM7. Its a little (barely noticeable) laggy. I love the themes and apps. I do miss the drawer sometimes, but meh, its just about getting used to not having drawer.
Thanks cm7rocks
Vibrant owns cm7
try Revolution 1.5 rom by ali.
I am using it right now and it is very fast and quite stable too.
I also like Axura a lot, decent battery life and HUGE customization options.

Did someone say MIUI lags? You must be "doing it wrong" because it's a far cry from Froyo when it comes to lag. MIUI is by far the smoothest ROM I've used, and the few issues that exist are pretty minor, at least with build 1.9.23. GPS works great too, if not better than Froyo.

[Q] crappy battery life fix?

Ok so I'm new to the vibrant and I've been having some real crappy battery life. After like 2 hours of medium use on cm7 my battery is at 50%. When I was using my g2 I'd get like 8 hours of medium use running cm7 oc'ed 1.3ghz. But I have my vibrant at 1.2ghz and its horrible, same @ 1ghz. Is there any fix for this or should I start checking out some extended batteries?

CM7 isnt going to be the best battery anyway
flash a different kernel (dont know which iv never been on CM7) or go back to a 2.2 rom
i was using glitch hl kernel. and i dont get why i would go back to a froyo rom. froyo is outdated. but cm7 always had good battery life on my g2 so i dont get how a bigger battery would ause lower battery life.
Try bali kernel and callibrate ur battery with an app from the market u should see a difference

If htc released the source for the g2's newest android version, you'd notice a decent difference between the two phones. We're still missing some key drivers and an official leak.

This post looks complicated but it was pretty simple.
You mentioned not wanting to spend money, so I will warn you, it involves purchasing two apps.

This is incase you want to find out exactly why your battery life is crap and fix it, rather than living with it and buying cheap extra batteries (which is just as fine a solution).

Best FroYo ROM

I havent used a FroYo ROM in quite sometime because i moved onto CM7 and now ICS, but i got my mom a Vibrant today and i was wondering what the most solid and fastest ROM is, I remember Bionix 1.3.1 was always great, but has anyone made a super killer FroYo ROM that you would suggest?
P.S. I am just looking for something that works with no kinks, GPS Working and good battery life.
Bionixxxx
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yep, I'd go with Bionix if you want a good, solid ROM with no kinks. I ran it for more than six months, and I loved it. Good GPS, great battery, just a solid ROM all around.
Link to thread here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
I've run the gamut from 2.1-4.0 roms for our Vibrant, but Deranged 9 is my favorite. Great Battery life, working GPS, support for tons of themes once it hits final and as fast as CM7....

I have been running Toxic8 for the past six months. Very fast, smooth, best battery life I've had out of the 4-5 ROMS I have run. Lots of options and flexibility. Definitely worth looking at.

Seriously, I know its my rom, but its probably the most stable and up to date (last updated on Black Friday) froyo rom we have rolling around. I am running ICS currently, but I do still support ZD, in the rare occasion that support is needed. There are also vanilla froyo and gb themes available, with or without a multitude of lock screens thanks to contributions from the community.

he meant deprecated, not depreciated. meaning, it is old, out of use, and has been replaced (i.e. obsolete due to a newer, better version). i'm guessing 'deprecated' got autocorrected.

That's true. It's like asking which ice cream flavor is best. So try a few and see what floats your boat. But be careful though - if you start with ZenDroid you probably won't get around to flashing anything else.

I agree with Br1ckd. Zendroid is stable, smooth and the battery life is amazing. Bionixx is good too no doubt but Zendroid seemed to give me better battery life.

Best
I think Bionix is the most solid to date, but thats stating that we haven't perfected a 2.2.1 rom!!!
I am surprised no one has mentioned either Toxic8 or Deranged9. I have had nothing but solid, stable experiences on both if them. I feel that nearly all the Froyos are about as stable as they can get at this point.
ICS has taken over as the flavor most wanted, so not much on the future horizon for Froyo.
They all felt the same....just different features...

SENSE or Pure Android

A thread was created about this a while back but now times have changed so i wanted to ask for opinion. Sense or pure Google for your liking?
This is my first HTC device and I decided to run stock on this phone and its great! sense is nice and its has replaced many third party apps that i would use on AOSP ROMS. But i do have complains about sense or more particular, Meanrom 4.1+.
I know this device has a large screen and all and battery is beefy but on regular use, im getting about 11-12 hours on MeanRom. I was expecting 16+ hours. its not bad but coming from an LG with an S3 CPU, i feel like i havent moved anywhere with battery life.
Also, The memory seems to be low. Im used to having 300+mb RAM free all the time, now im on this and im between 100mb and 200mb And one more thing is that my screen brigteness doesnt stick to my settings and my cpu control app doesnt stick with my Gorvernor.
What do you guys think? im having a love hate thing here but having S-on, i dont want to constantly switch roms

Yeah, AOSP JB rocks for sure but I Think i will just search for A sense ROM with great battery life. Im missing the HTC image sense. The images on AOSP JB images look bad compared to the image quality on sense in both rear facing and front facing cameras. Also, im having proximity issues. What Sense Rom has had the best battery life in your usage or tests?

Losing interest in Cm9 & 10

I have realized that cm9 and 10 will never be properly stable on the ace (and even if they do it will be after a long time, months probably), almost all the releases have battery drain and camera problems.
For me its time to move on and accept that the ace is at its best with gingerbread. What about you guys, what do u think?

but camera takes a lot of battery, around 10 percentage after taking 2 pics. And also the rom lags after flashing gapps.
For now im sticking with Miuixxx, im not having any problems (no reboots), battery should be great (caliberating right now) because of vo-1 and firekernel. And it's fully functional, and the miui look is just great.
Never tried cm10 (yet). Maybe I should. But I can live with gingerbread, for now.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
Well I kinda agree with you, until now there isn't any stable CM9 / 10 ROMs (although developers are doing great job and maybe we might get a stable ics or jb ROM). For now I just stick with CM7 and just trying to make it better with mods, themes and such

I honestly can't wait for JB. I flashed it on my friend's Tmobile GS2 and it was flawless. HQ video wasn't working though. But who uses it anyway.
It was epic nonetheless. Could be officially used as a daily rom. I'm still waiting for the day JB can be used on the Ace like that. I've never tried it. Can someone confirm if it's as fluid as they say it is? The day I try it is gonna be when I decide to use it as my daily rom.

Well, i'm using MIUI SnapSeries for a while and i think its great. Unfortunatelly have battery drain (half day in some cases, without using wifi constantly) camera bugs and others little things, but the rom itself its very fast. I've got 2300 in antutu benchmark with this rom, not even cm7 gave me that. I will try PAC now and see how it's going.
I am using jellaxy CM10 build 5/10/12 with michies's performance package and nims11 Kernel and the ROM runs awesome.
no lags so whatever after using michie's performance package
and Deep sleep works for me even if i use camera and Bluetooth
if u wanna have deep sleep and also wanna use Camera.with preview then download Camera illusion from market and use HD mode.
I turned Bluetooth on and after switching it off I locked my Ace and after that checked deep sleep time and it had increased.
well im sticking with MIUIXXX its really stable (i dnt have reboots or anything), and its eyecandy too

but I'm waiting for Camera to be completely fixed
about features cm7 is good enough for phone.. hardware accelerated UI has not been that good on ace in anyway.. ICS launchers are equally smooth on gingerbread... no ICS goodies works good enough
browser improvements was main but stock ics browser lags like hell (chrome not supported ) and on our so called 278 ram size ics runs awful..
GB roxx until i change my phone.. non the less android is so fragmented that gingerbread support will not die until 5-6 years from now
