I haven't applied it yet, but I want to, just to see if it will fix the massive issues I've had with this phone. I know it supposedly breaks root, but I don't care about that. I know it also should fix the missing phone icon on the lockscreen (broken in 1.13.651.7).
Any issues?
It suck. Gps doesn't work when I really need it to, home page goes blank after hitting home from texting (sometimes), Gps symbol stays crossed out after turning off and back on, and worst of all front facing camera doesn't work...instead I get the rear image fliped upside down. I'm not rooted, nor do I need or want to. I'm going to try to take it 2 a store in the morning. I'll try to do a update when i find out more.

Im loving it. It feels smoother than 2.3.3 IMO. Also, GPS locks faster than usual. Overall, I feel its an a great upgrade to the guts of the OS.
I'm running Synergy Nightly BTW so my results are skewed.
Why don't u just backup and flash the stock ROM with the update built in and see. U can test it out without losing root
That's what i ran before my current ROM and it ran good. Weather fix and screenshot was really nice

I dont know why your camera does not work because mine and about 8-13 other evo 3d's my friends own all work after the ota. Our gps locks on hella lot faster also. I have literally NO issues so far. plus, my battery life, increased by a whole day with heavy texting, bluetoothing music to my headphone for 6+ hours a day, and 3g pandora.
My only Quirk that bugs me is when unlocking the screen sometimes it goes into the camera but that is it.
I dont notice much difference other than that

Same here + the camera looks better.
Initially, I was disappointed by the performance of the ROM, but I later found that my tweaking I did to build.prop (increase dalvik vm, gui forced to run hardware acceleration) was actually causing this version to perform poorly compared to the 1.13.651.7 ROM. After not using those tweaks anymore, the 2.08.651.2 update is running smoothly. Only complaint I have is with the new CIQ spyware that is on this version However, it is easily removed with custom kernel and uninstalling the proper apks.
Love it. Camera green hue is gone for me. Built in screen caputure (power+home button). Adjusting volume no longer cause stutter when viewing videos. Everything just runs smoother. I say upgrade away.
Thanks for all your responses.

A couple of these problems I've had before upgrading anything (GPS went out once when I was outside in the middle of LA, GPS icon stays on/off after switching it off/on). Hopefully I won't get your other issues, but everything else is going wrong with this phone, so I'll probably try the custom-rom-upgrade first.

Haven't rooted yet because if it's this buggy when I'm using it like it supposed to be used, I fear it will be twice as bad and maybe bricked when I actually try to get tricky with it.

I am really looking forward to the screen capture.
I have to say...Stock roms being buggy does not equate to custom roms being twice as buggy. I would highly recommend you root before taking the OTA and checking out some custom roms. You might be quite surprised with the performance. Just my 2 cents though. Good luck either way!

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
I am new X2 flashing but not new to flashing. My X2 is running CM7 and I have a Fascinate that is running AOKP (ICS) build 37. So I'm familiar with flashing. All that said I am looking for a ROM with features like CM7 however that supports HDMI and possibly FM radio. The later is not important. Any suggestions?
Not all ROMs will have everything you want. It has been reported that HDMI works on CM9. But then you're losing a lot of other stuff. Try Eclipse. Its not Cyanogenmod but I think HDMI works with that. If not, you have to stick with stock.

Thanks. I'll check it out!
Note that someone got HDMI working on CM7. Sadly it went largely unnoticed and thus, undocumented. The fix was not at all complicated; all one had to was set the HDMI value located in the build.prop to 1(true) and you had it.
Dont quote me on the latter part - I realized there was one more thing that needed to be done in order to get it working. I do however know that it doesnt work whilst in landscape mode and videos are iffy.
Btw, before you mess with the build.prop, even though Root Explorer (im assuming thats what you're using) will make a backup, make one of your own to be sure.
have a good one!
On cm7 it was portrait only and no sound. And all you had to do was set hdmi=true in the build prop. Although I wouldn't classify that as working

I ended up flashing Eclipse. HDMI works great! I'm running Go Launcher with an ICS theme. I'm getting alot of redraws of the home screen. Not sure if that is an issue with the ROM or Go Launcher. I think I might Supercharge it to see if that helps with the redraws.

Wanna play some games with a Wii Remote on your Rezound?
A lot of you were wanting to connect a Wii Remote to your Rezound (myself included) and several were annoyed and rather upset to find that Sense UI just doesn't do the job. Sense masks the necessary drivers. Well I have good news, but it's obviously not going to work with every ROM. Needless to say, it'll take some playing with. If you have a Sense based ROM, you'll probably have a harder time; though, the ROM I am using is not completely Senseless, so who knows... you may luck up!
What I am using:
CleanROM Developer Edition 1.4
3.13xx Kernel from the same developer and post.
ICS Firmware (Not sure if this will matter or not.)
It took some playing with, but I finally got my Wii controller to connect. Here's what you do. Go to the links below.
First:
Here
Second:
Here
You can get it from the market, but you have to have the second link in order for the Wii driver to be recognized by the program.
Before going into the program... let me save you some time. Go into a text field in a program, type "0000" and copy that text. You'll use this later.
Once you have these installed, it gets tricky.
1) Do NOT turn on bluetooth first... open the program and let the program start bluetooth using the check box.
2) Once BT is turned on, tap "Select IME", Select "Bluez IME"
3) Tap "Select Device"
4)Scan. Press 1 + 2 buttons simultaneously on the controller. The address for your controller should show up. Tap on it.
It will now ask you to confirm pairing with bluetooth device, open that dialog box. While the dialog box for accepting the bluetooth device is up, paste the text you copied earlier into the text field and hit "OK." (The controller may stop pairing, and the dialog box may go away, don't panic.) By default, the PIN is 0000. If you can type it, do so. If not, it'll probably still work (I didn't actually have to type it in, it just started working. )
Okay, now that you have it semi-paired, you'll only tap on "Select IME" from now on. When you tap it and select a different input method, it will automatically turn bluetooth off. Likewise, when you tap "Select IME" and select "Bluez IME," it will turn bluetooth on and display "Connecting to XX.XX.XX.XX" (<-- your Wii remotes address here). At this point, simply press 1 + 2 and it should display connected. To test if it's working, simply scroll through the menu using the d-pad. That's it!
This is my first walkthrough and I apologize if it's hard to understand! It goes without saying that I am not responsible for what you do to your phone. But it should all go smoothly!
Let us all know if you have come up with any better solutions and I'll update accordingly! Enjoy guys!
Here is a video as proof to the nay-sayers!

I have 2 Wii remotes, one is original Nintendo, the other is after market. I got both of them to work. I have not tried the nun-chuck with it, but I know some of the emulators have an option for it. I'm assuming the nun-chuck works with other phones using this program, so I don't see how it wouldn't work. I'll probably try that out tomorrow.
Edit: The nun-chuck does in fact work with it. I plugged mine up before pairing, and it had no effect on pairing. Works great with Mario 3!
thanks for the write up. i have a freind thats been tyring to get this to work with no luck. i am going to give this a shot myself

Are you on ICS Firmware? Also, at what point is it saying that? Before it recognizes the device or after an attempt to pair?

I don't know all the changes they made with the firmware update, but I would assume that bluetooth was one of the changes made. I say that because before the firmware leak, devs were having issues getting BT to work with the ICS Roms. So, that being said, this may only be possible with the firmware update. Keep in mind, however, that I had to play with it quite a bit to get it to work. It was totally worth it though, I was playing Supe Mario 64 on my phone with the nun-chuck and all. Flawless performance!

I'm using ICS now, but I see what you're saying. When we get the official ICS ota, the devs are going to start pushing out truly senseless roms and they will likely have no problem doing this (because of the ics kernel.) Fully ASOP roms can supposedly do this natively.

Hi all, i havent bit the bullet yet with this rooting game as the atrix as been plenty fast enough for me box standard, but since getting the lapdock and finding it so painfully slow that I wont use it, I started googling my options, so here i am as it seems that rooting is the answer!
Ive been reading about Jellybean and it sounds like its been designed to work with accessories like the lapdock, that lead me to read the thread about the CM10 rom that epinter is building which sounds brilliant.
I cant ask the Q on that thread because im a noob so can someone tell me if epinters cm10 works with the lapdock or would i need to add things.
thanks
Joe
Epinter's CM10 work with lapdock, but just simple HDMI output, the webtop app isn't work.
only portraite mod

yes and hdmi output doesn t work landspece mod or i didn t find yet
Thanks for the replies guys but just to clarify, your both saying -
The lapdock works?
Well of course it works, however much like CM9 it's only going to mirror the video output from the phone right now. However the auto tablet switch is still broken (from what it sounds like, I'm not on CM10 yet.) and Moto's WebTop is obviously still broken as well.
Personally I'm waiting for a version of Paranoid Android based on CM10. Maybe when that hits I can finally switch modes without having to reboot.

I think i could live with that as the browser on the lapdock is only useable if i use it through the phone rather than its own firefox.
So i would just be losing out on screen resolution.
Does JB still have the bug where on the lapdock you get 10 FPS and on the phone its nice and smooth?
Actually I'm getting decent FPS with Paranoid Android. It's still not great but it's WAY better than it was. The start screen for Need for Speed: Shift and it's pretty good. Galaxy on Fire 2 THD works like I expect it to as well. My guess is that it's been fixed in Joker's latest CM9's and yeah CM10 as well.
I doubt it will be perfect until Moto releases ICS officially though (and hopefully they can use something out of that to help with CM10 too).

I doubt my lapdock would work if they didn't. Also I've tried the cable with a DVI adapter and that works fine, so yeah.
If you meant CM10, I have no clue yet but I'm getting tired of waiting for a CM10 based parandroid (which is what I'm going to call it for short from now on, because I think it's clever).
I've flashed cm10 and will give my lapdock a try when its charged. The is some mention of changes today but I haven't read the change log.

I just flashed it, didn't even bother with the new gapps yet though. Came over from Parandorid 1.6 and all I did was wiped the caches.
So far no issues but I absolutely HATE the app picker. It was much easier with ICS where you picked it and checked always use if you wanted to. Now you have to pick it and select either just once or always (so two taps instead of one).
Loud sound lapdock
On [ROM] CM10 (JellyBean) for Atrix - 20120729 very loud lapdock sound in mirror mode. What I can do on it?
What do you mean loud? It functions normally for me. Maybe turn down the volume? Sorry you're going to need to be more specific as to what the problem is.

Very loud minimum volume (level 1).
I tried with both the phone speaker and the stereo system I plug it into and I could not replicate the issue on my end, sorry.
You did check all the volume levels right?

So just to make it clear. You dont have webtop with the flashed rom?
Is there an ICS ROM with working webtop yet?
I only use the Atrix with the lapdock in GB. Is there an ICS ROM with proper support or do I have to wait for the official ICS?
NO ONE has webtop with JB, let alone ICS. If they do they're *******s for hiding it from the rest of us.
The devs are working on it. Official ICS *SHOULD* bring it when it hits (if it hits, which I'm sure it's going to it's just taking forever).
What I'd really like to see is companies release all the source code for their "dead" devices. But it will probably be a cold day on Mercury when that happens.
I don't even have a webtop like interface either, nor will I until paranoid android comes out with a modified CM10 of their own. My hope is then that I can switch DPI without having to reboot.

Running latest viper rom and arc reactor kernel. I tried hdmi out for the first time tonight and everything mirrors and works likes it's supposed to but when I play a video it and the sound are literally in half speed or slower. Not sure what's going on here so I tried by starting a video recording I had and plugging the phone into the MHL adapter and it instantly starting mirroring but in slow motion. Produces same results trying to stream from youtube as well. Only happens when plugged in for hdmi out.
Anything I'm missing?
