You wont be using cyanogenmod roms, then. You will have to stick to blur roms.

The ninja ROM by Sam Cripp. Everything works and its simple. Its way down in the ATRIX development section.
It works on Lapdock too.

Let's try to CM7,CM9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403372

To be honest, if you got it from AT&T, I would wait the 30 days before unlocking the bootloader. Test out the phone and see if you like it and see if you would rather have the Atrix 2 with the bigger screen and 8mp camera (no tegra 2 though) or another phone.

Darkside runs great with good battery life. Just make sure you flash a fruitcake webtop after installing the Rom if you use it.

I would recommend this as well. Just to be safe.
Otherwise I use Darkside 4.4 and the 2.3.6 Webtop with Firefox 8. Both are found in the development thread in separate threads.

Darkside 4.4 with 2.3.6 webtop works best for me as I haven't found anything better yet.
If cyanogen had working webtop I'd be using that though, but at least they have the fingerprint sensor working.
I saw someone mention the Atrix 2, and I think that the lack of fingerprint scanner kind of sucks, but 8MP is nice I'm sure. Also the original lapdock is better than the new one IMO because of screen size and thickness, although it does take up more area. Not to mention the bottom of the phone is not obfuscated when it's sitting on it with the lid closed as just a regular dock.

I bought the phone off ebay so not too worried about the bootloader.
I just want a rom that works great with the laptop dock.
I will try Ninja and darkside.
Thanks again.

yes it is n it is pretty stable too

---

I don't know about using the dock station, but here Aura Rom is working pretty well. It's fast, very stable and everything works good. Battery life is booster and I think WiFi is also boosted. I've already tried CM7 and still think it will be the best rom for Atrix, but it's not stable so far. That's why I recommend Aura.

---

I will check it out. Thanks.

I absolutely love the Alien ROM. It's based on stock so you can use the webtop. It has a beautiful optional skin, is very smooth and works perfectly with everything I've tried. I've had no issues with it and would highly recommend it.

Thank you.
Now with the alien rom or any other roms can you use the lapdock without wifi or a data plan with tethering?
I am grandfathered in the unlimited data so it's crucial I keep the unlimited data.

Must use wifi with dock or you risk losing your unlimited plan, as att considers using your phone's connection as tethering.

is there some tethering method that would be less detectable?
I know there's been many discussions as to how it's practically impossible to hide tethering from carriers. but... just checking at this point.

Tried to quote you and tada, and thank. Lol Hey I got caught tethering and supposedly they have a special committee looking for tetherers like me. I had to get a tethering plan.
People ACTUALLY can't hide it.
