Many developers tried to deblur stock ROM on the Atrix and always ran into problems. Blur is very deeply integrated, meaning it's easier to compile an AOSP rom than deblur the official rom. And that's exactly what developers are doing at the moment.
See the CM7 thread.
On so many levels I can't wait to see the final "official" version of CM7 and compare it to the stock...
The biggest problem with Blur is that it is all the way down into the framework and if you start removing stuff, some of the "markers" will be broken. AOSP is the best way to deBlur but until then you can always install a semi deblurred custom ROM and freeze what you don't need. That's what I've done and in day to day tasks it feels like an AOSP ROM (sorta). Unless you drill down into settings, you wouldn't know my phone was running Blur at all.
oh... interesting. I guess I'll wait for CM7

For me it´s miniCM2.0.1 2.3.4
The only problem still Camera just take pictures in vga mode
for me i cannot also read QR codes because no autofocus :-(
Next time post on general discussion...this room is for rom development try to keep it clean ty
Sent from my E10
I test all of the roms,
miniCM7 2.0.1 with 2.3.4rom is the best for use
all of the other 2.3.4rom have the Camera problem too--vga mode only
But i like the home semc，wich with Stock Corner style。
Hope miniCM7 2.3.4ROM will suppot it.
Like 2.0.1 MiniCM
You know guys, I am using MiniCM7 I dont mind about camera, but if you care a lot about things not running in this ROM or any other in development, you should go for WaterBeARC X v1.0 is a really good one cuz is based in a SE release (ROM).
From what i've seen, all other roms are practically customized versions of minicm7 built on 2.0.1. So there's not much significant difference like in performance or drivers. It's only up to your preferences, which apps you want pre-installed, if you use corner style or your own launcher... I personally don't use 2.3.4, because there are way too many bugs compared to 2.2.1... & I'm not a tester kind of guy - i like to use the full potential of a device, not test & report bugs But what i liked about minicm7 is that you can register & receive notifications about new versions & updates. This is quite good when there are still bugs waiting to get fixed, so immediately after new release, you're notified. I don't know if this feature is also present in other roms.
im currently using srom 2.3.3v1 which is a cyanogen based rom, i think its pretty stable minus the bugs of course.Its got a brilliant user interface though you will have to download some of the apps from market,i gladly recommend it to anyone who has a mini...i hear the v2 will be out soon..cant wait!!!

WaterBeArc is android 2.1, the title of this thread is best 2.3.4
Of course WaterBeArc is stable, it's just stock 2.1 with BlackHtc theme and some stuff like xrecovery and jit
Minicm 7 has been very stable for me, only one reboot in by 3 weeks of usage.

Come closer, I wanna tell you a secret...good, now listen: He was actually more helpful to the topic than you, bro.
And btw, it's not just stability, 2.1 is also fast & has the best battery life. People at SE know what they're doing. You still use in 2.3.4 drivers ported from stock 2.1 & devs are now debugging them to work at least that good as they did in 2.1. As I said, nAa did a pretty good job with miniCM6, but miniCM7 is missing a lot for me so far: camera resolution, auto-focus, can't select cyanogedmod notification power button for flashlight (in 2.2.1 i can, i don't know why) & sensors are sometimes acting weird in apps like compass or metal detector. But definitely from 2.3.4 roms i would use miniCM7, because until now it's been miniCM that's been innovating & other roms were just following the miniCM & tuning it, i think this trend will stay.
There are so many GB roms out there now. What's the difference between miui and say Simply Honey? I've only ever used that and Simply Stock. Is one better than the other as far as performance or is it more visual? Thanks!
Simply Stock 2.3.5 JVS w/ 1.2 Talon Kernel. Badass Rom \m/
Miui is mostly visual it is an overhaul of android ui its also fast but i multitasking menu is slow to start when playing games but it is cool also its smooth over all battery is avrage to bad 8-12 hrs in my experience an other gb roms is samsung roms on steriods an battery is great 12-20 for me froyo like 14-24 an its regular android with twiz on top of it an the browser is lag free on jvs an jvr roms an i prefer sammy gingerbread because its better over all

If I may explain in a slightly less feverish run-on-sentencey way than Jason, MIUI is built from the ground up, while most other Gingerbread ROMs are based on leaked i9000 ROMs from Samsung.
MIUI has a unique launcher that does away with the app drawer, instead putting all apps on your home pages which are easily organized into folders of your choosing. It also has many special features you can't find in the leaked i9000 gingerbread ROMs. For instance, long pressing a toggle like wifi or bluetooth will open up its settings.
MIUI is also, in my experience, a much smoother experience than Froyo and even leaked Gingerbread. The launcher has no lag with only a mild overclock, and apps load quickly. Even the phone itself starts up quicker than with other ROMs.
The best part of MIUI is in the customization by way of theming. All those special lockscreens that require custom ROMs and flashing to use? MIUI allows for anywhere from single swipe to, I'm not kidding, 15 button lock screens simply by downloading them through the online theme collection. You can change your icons, status bar, lock screen and wallpaper, dialer, SMS, and more by simply downloading a theme online through MIUI, and can even mix and match various components to your liking. SMS from Blue Dado Black combined with an animated lockscreen from some indecipherable Chinese name and a font from the Evolver theme, and on and on.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more, read the MIUI threads in the Development section. For me, I can't imagine leaving the ROM without something catastrophic happening.
Thanks man!! I'm gonna give one a try tonight.
One quick question, if I have the gb bootloaders I need to Odin the froyo one right? Also need to be on stock 2.1 or .22

Yes, you'll need a Froyo bootloader. I just installed Lithium V2.1 MIUI and wow, it's super cool. I'm trying to figure out the lockscreens.
of all roms that I have tried Simply Stock 2.3.5 JVS w/ 1.2 Talon Kernel is one badass rom!!!!!!!!!!! it is super fast with 0 bugs or forced closes and I have no desire to switch it for any other "pretty rom"

I have never tried a jv(anything) Tom but I did try every froyo I could get my phone on and I did miui in early augustvand it was a constant flash back and forth from cm7 to that.
I have noticed occasionally lag while loading apps like cnet tv and games (using chainfire pro).
What was the last miui you tried? I must say l, miui as is really stable and still fast, lithium rocks in speed, stock is my face so far when the powermod is applied.
I could not justify staying off of froyo until now.
Miui launches apps fast but are they faster once loaded in Samsung base rom's?
Also it has been since august that I tried any cm7 nightlies since gr90, is it just me or has miui surpassed cm7 in stability with less maunual fixes?
One thing is that the speaker on off for people to hear me is still happening on every miui I try
Would it be possible to get android in it's most purest form. Like the ones you see on Nexus phones and Google phones?
No touch-wiz, Samsung bloatware etc etc...
Just plain android as google made it.
CyanogenMod 7?
have you not heard of AOSP and Cyanogenmod?
I was about to post something similar.
I'm looking with a pure android rom too with the stability and performance of a stock rom, if not better ...
I was looking for the same thing a few months ago.
I don't like cyanogen mod as they add a few things to the menus and applications (and at the time it was only in alpha for GSII) ... I was after a completely stock AOSP rom without any changes.
Then I can across oxygen rom which I use now, it's very stable and is 99% AOSP, there's a few extras but they are hidden in the settings menu, so you wouldn't know it wasn't stock AOSP unless u saw the boot animation or new the AOSP settings menu off by heat.
http://forum.oxygen.im/
Highly recommend it unless anyone else knows of a better 100% AOSP stock rom.

Cm7 is asop with stuff you would want anyway added.
For example sd card support, oc/uv etc.
Building a aosp rom would mean taking cm7 and removing useful features, you can just take cm7 and make it looks like asop, theres apks for the stock launcher, and themes are not hard to find.
Just remove apks for the dsp etc.

CM7 is not stable on the S2. I get lockups and freezes everytime I'm in the app drawer.

+1 this. Thanks, after seeing the ICS event, it made me want stock Android again. Can't wait for the source to drop and all our phones get some ICS love.
And a pure aosp rom would have similar problems at first, building a rom without opensource drivers is really hard!

I've linked him to 2 AOSP ROMs already.
New owner of an SG2, which I'm liking so far. Am coming from N1 Cyanogenmod.
At present I've rooted my phone and am running the stock rom with Launcher Pro.
I'm liking a bunch of the features of the stock rom (well trying them out) and am deciding whether I keep the stock rom or move to a custom rom.
I do have a few questions about the stock rom, which I wonder can be answered here:
- With the pull down menu you have the options of wifi, bluetooth etc in the status bar. Is there anyway of changing these options (for example want to remove bluetooth).
- With the dialler, once I make a call it goes into a screen with a bunch of options, like, save contact, etc. Is there anyway of avoiding this screen and going straight to home? (incidentally you are given the option of "voice call". Is this something provided by your network or another service?)
- Autorotate. Is it possible to NOT have it working on the homescreen, but available in your apps?
In relation to custom rom, what do you guys reckon is as close to stock as possible, but with a bit more customisation. I'm guessing a custom rom would be able to deal with most of my queries.
1) majority of roms have that bar modified where you can slide it across and have upto 12 triggers, although you can't really remove them. However with cm7 and miui you can customize that bar to your hearts content.
2) no idea
3) look in the launcher pro settings, you should be able to set it there so it doesn't auto rotate
Give cm7 a try.

Cheers mate. Was using CM7 fine with my N1, guess just wanted to mix it up a bit. There are a bunch of features I do like about the stock rom though.
I'll run it for another week and then may give MIUI a go.
Checkout jkay mods and themes for stock roms in the theme section.
Can do basically what you want Plus more.
Also many launchers (home screens) can set whether to auto rotate. Set it to off in launcher and leave the system auto rotate on.

Thanks, will have a play with the custom themes.
Also, I presume, if I install MIUI or Cyanogenmod, I could still install the Samsung specific apks?

No, you can not install any Samsung apps on CM. (May be you're thinking you like the stock browser so you want to use it on CM, but you can not).

Yes. CM7 and MIUI are build from scratch and doesn't contain anything related to Samsung. So unlike stcok based custom roms, these two roms doesn't support Samsung apps.

Well, the reason you wanted to try is exactly the reason why so many users love GingerMod rom. It has some good apps from Samsung, like the gpu accelerated browser, camera app, fm radio. Rest 95 % is aosp.
So it's pure google experience,no Samsung bloatware, and we can still enjoy some of the real good apps Samsung made.

heh, would love a cyan-samsung bastard child port. If only I had the skills to do that.
Love the ability with Cyan to tweak a whole bunch of settings, but am liking quite a few of the Samsung apps.
Will look into GingerMod as it may be a good compromise.

There is one more reason why i personally like GingerMod.
It is 99% (or 100%) bug free. Infact, i find it more stable than any official firmware.
Hey everyone,
I just finally put CM7 on my Atrix (well, Neutrino, specifically) and so far it's great, but I have a few issues with the CM7 apps. I can't stand the alarm clock and I don't like the dialer much either.
I was wondering if I could take a stock Blur ROM, or even a ROM like Alien, and get BlurAlarmClock.apk and BlurDialer.apk (and perhaps BlurContacts.apk might be needed too) out of it, and flash them over the currently installed ones I have now?
Would that conflict with CM7? And are these dependent on the Blur framework?
I'm also not entirely sure how to make a flashable zip out of an apk. I am kind of new with screwing with ROMs like this, so please forgive me if this is more simple than I realize.
Thanks
