hey guys,
Just bought myself an atrix 4g and was wondering what rom you guys would recommend using.
I'd prefer one that still has the webtop functionality and fingerprint scanner if possible.
and one without motoblur, again if at all possible.
I would suggest CM7

The Feb 20th build they talk about here near the end of the thread is the one i am rocking and the FP works great it also allows use of FP navigation and scrolling witch is pretty cool. Im not sure on how well the webtop works with it. I done have or use one.
I have also read good thing about redpill, alien, and neutrino
I´ve been using neutrino, pretty good.
CM7 is also great.
If you want to stick with a more "motorola" experience, try "The Dark Side"
Best blur based rom so far IMO is Nottachtrix 4G. Rock solid. I have been getting great battery life out of it. No reboots. No FC. Perfect FP. Aroma installer. Freaking good. I have tried everything, from 2.2 to CM9, almost all roms, and i always keep going back to Nottachtrix 4G. Awesome rom.

I find it to be the most usable rom.
The CM based mods (Neutrino, redpill) have a few more bells and whistles.

I using the CM7 nightly 5-feb-2012 cause the 20-feb was unstable in my phone, but I also recommend the CM7 nightly builds + Faux123 24r2 1.0GHZ kernel + N_01.100.00R Radio
Nottachtrix +1
The way the Atrix4G was meant to be. Smooth, responsive, stable and fully functional.

Every rom Freaking sucks! The best is to Use the stock one! What im saying is that every rom has its bugs so every rom is bad.
Bionix 1.3.1 is the best Rom for me ,everything works and its smooth and fast.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
Bionix 1.3.1 is the most stable and time-tested but its pretty outdated.
CM7 if you want updated and decent stability (though theres that e911 issue)
The ICS Roms are very smooth and stable enough for me, ICS is amazing!
im using the ICS passion with the glitch karnel . battery sux ;/

Glitch is a PREVIEW kernel and doesn't officially support anything besides CM9.
I don't think dev was too concerned about battery life for a preview, just implementing new features.
Thanks
Damnn now im like lost, idk what to flash, i want something , something fast, and that the battery wont died quick, I tried,
Trigger + Overstock = Worked great.
Bionix + Overstock = Worked great.
Crazy8 + Immortality = Worked Great.
now idk which one to pick lol
I've tried the Passion ICS rom and it is superb but I miss the Samsung Camera app.
Is there any SGS II stable port?
If not, Im gonna download the most stable modified stock rom, I'm thinking of Bionic, correct me if Im wrong.
Bionix with overstock is quite the dream.. if flashing unstable stuff isnt your cup of tea, you can't go wrong with that combo

Unfortunately there hasn't been a perfect 2.2.1 rom yet!
been using the lithium 360 for the past month or more. have liked it better than the generic CM series, but that's gone away now anyway. I'm liking the MIUI based setups though. Maybe it's the different perspective of dropping the Apps menu driven system like so many other interfaces still have.
Been seriously pondering loading the Passion ICS for a while, but may wait until it comes off beta.
What roms out there now are able to use themes other than cm7? And what are ppls opinions of them?

IMO, you can't go wrong with Nottach's Wet dream rom. He has 4 or 5 themes for it, and the rom itself has a lot of tweaks so you can personalize it to your liking Best rom around for a fully functional atrix!
I personally run his 1.3 version with the ics redux theme (I did tweak the theme a little in spots that had unreadable text)....but this rom is an excellent daily driver!
If you know how, it's pretty easy to make a decent theme in the UOT kitchen!
I second wetdream. I've been running it for a day now and it is a very very clean rom. I think it may be daily runner until more final cm9 comes along.
Alien v4 is also a good rom. It is old but it is a great take on official at&t GB, it is very stable. At my lowest times during a bad case of flashitis I curse myself for ever leaving it.
honestly, As far a blur roms go I havent ran too many I liked.
In my opinion whatever rom you run stick to stock at&t kernel. Personally I find too much flakiness when I run a third party kernel. Others have no problems though so take it for what it's worth.
I'm using darkside (same dev, different rom) its a 2.3.5 based rom, wet dream is 2.3.6. I'll probably jump to 2.3.6 eventually... You can use the wet dream themes on the darkside roms by the way if you choose to do so.
I used Aura before darkside but the dev ran out of time to make updates to that rom.
Im running gingermod #5 right now, runs great and has great battery life, i just wish i could theme it. I wonder if the wetdream themes would work on gingermod since its 2.3.6 based too

Hi, I've got a Vibrant on T-Mobile and recently got myself an SGS2 and am giving the Vibrant to my pops.
It's currently running neobuddy89's ICS Passion v13 w/ patch. (Thanks to him and everyone else who worked on it btw! awesome rom!)
Anyways, I was wanted to get some input on what a good rom would be for someone who has never had a smart phone before. I'm looking for something thats super stable and has awesome battery life while still being user friendly.
Any and all opinions are welcome.
Bionix 1.3.1 is super stable and has great battery life, but its a 2.2 rom
hmm i think i've tried that version of bionix before. if it's the one im thinking of, i liked it a lot. thanks for the input.
From experience it is easier to be running a rom you have used, or are using I keep my mom's vibrant on the same rom I am on just so I can help her if an issue arises, but if you are moving to a different phone pick on that is super stable
You make a very good point with that; It would likely be troublesome to potentially have to learn the ins and outs of two new roms.. have you tried any of the CM roms?
I used cm7 for quite a while, but gps sucks and I have run into random issues but I guess that happens on all roms. I suggest staying where you are and every once and a while updating the rom once an update comes out
yeah its battery life im really after and ics passion's isnt bad but its not the best i do remember that with bionix v, i went up to 2 days without charging with moderate use sometimes. lol
It depends if he reads off his phone at night honestly. If you use bionix or any 2.2 rom your eyes get blasted every screen touch by the capacitive buttons, not so on 2.2.1 roms. If he does read at night I recommend bi-winning with the sgs2 theme. Very polished and mature in my opinion. With Bali undervolt his battery life will be stellar.

CM is officially supported on the Vibrant again. Changes and link to latest nightly here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vibrantmtd
I'm running build 229. Haven't tried GPS yet, but everything else seems to work.
Well, first, you could always flash back to stock. I'm pretty sure that's the most stable ROM, ha. Otherwise, I liked Bionix and CM. Both were very smooth and everything worked, as far as I can remember. You could also try Lithium Volt, but I haven't gotten to do much testing stability wise.
i would say bionix as they mentioned before on this thread. simply becuase it's been put up to the test by many and is known to be stable and has great batt life.
all the new roms are still being tested and still have bugs and well since it's for your dad i would assume he just needs something stable not anything flashy and wild.
+1 bionix with bail UV

eclipse 2.2 is pretty damn stable but i prefer cm7 or even cm9 now. imo cm roms have more goodies
In all honesty don't flash cm9 expecting stability...

It's an alpha release. There's more bugs than working features...OP is asking for an all around STABLE ROM. Probably shouldn't point him towards an alpha release... I swear all of these people saying it's just as stable as cyanogenmod7 are under the placebo effect.........
[email protected] OP - I tried CM7 and loved it. Flashed CM9 and yeah it's really buggy right now, but give it some time and devs will iron all that stuff out. Tons of potential, just not there yet. As of right now though, steer clear if you're looking for a 100% stable ROM. Once I played with 9 for a bit and went back to 7 I felt like it was the most stable ROM in the world. I Actually had to check the Cyanogenmod7.2 thread to remember the issues with it lol.
Well today I SBF'ed and tried eclipse. I have to say, you can't really customize it as much as CM7 but it is hands down a very reliable daily driver. Some people have wifi issues with it, but I don't- so I really have nothing bad to say about it.
CM9 - Not so much for stability
CM7 - Stable(beta) - My personal DD
Eclipse - Stable...Awesome, just not my cup of tea
Plus let's face it. This is for your GIRLFRIEND after all, right? You think she wants a working phone? Or a buggy one? Because I'm pretty sure YOU are the one that's gonna hear it if she has problems. I would imagine flashing CM9 on her X2 will put you in the doghouse pretty damn quick.

I found CM 7.2 to be very stable when I used it. The only issue that I ever had with it was the wifi would sometimes only connect when when I went into settings.
And honestly, CM9 has been working great for me too, I know it is still alpha but i have had 0 issues so far.
I've been running CM7 RC1 for just over a week now and I LOVE it! This was my first time rooting and installing a ROM and I couldn't be happier. SOOOO much better than stock in every way and solid as a rock. I haven't had a single random reboot since installing it - whereas I used to get several a week on the stock ROM. If the phone had run this good out of the box, I probably never would have tried to modify it. I had planned to try Eclipse just to check it out but I like CM7 so much, I'll probably just stick with it. I'll probably flash CM9 once it matures some and reaches beta.
Eclipse 2.2, or as someone suggested, just a rooted, carefully debloated official 2.3.5.
Fyi, something as intermediate as removing bloat can make the phone unstable, ie, start removing the wrong authentication services, etc.

I'm running Eclipse 2.1 with Zepplinroks scripts. It's very nice!
As much as I love reading through threads on XDA, I just dont have much time reading every Dev thread here. I will be getting an Atrix in the coming days to replace my Dell Streak. The reason why I cannot read through all the thread is because Ive been on and off with like 4 different droids and just cant waste so much time reading through all the threads, Ive already burnt all the time I had to waste.
So If anyone could just give the name of the ROM which they think is the most stable at this moment, I would be very greatful. As I need a stable ROM to fall back on when I try all the new ones coming out.
Thanks in advance!

Get the stable version.

Am still fiddling with the original ROM.
do note that once you switch to CM7, you will lose the webtop functionality.

Atrix allows you to dock the phone to a lapdock which transform it into something like a netbook.
the lapdock has a 11.6" screen, keyboard, 2 USB ports and doubles as an extended battery.
Google for pictures/videos and more details.

It's working great for me. I mean, I have little requirements. Facebook, Twitter, Browser, XDA app, camera (not video), wifi, 3g.. they're all working great for me. It's stable for my needs. You can give it a try. If you don't like it, you can always use Neutrino
Just remember that not all apps would work. Chrome, for example, is forever crashing on the Atrix due to the lag of hardware acceleration.

Using Neutrino here. Really great performance-wise. I gave up CM9´s roms ATM because i need a fully functional camera and even though the situation got better now, it still buggy. Neutrino is my daily driver though.
Once again, thanks for all of your info! I really appreciate it. Ill be getting my Atrix today in just a few hours

I flashed CM7 to my Atrix 4G earlier this week and it is stable. I spent many hours reconfiguring and testing after the change to ensure the phone will be stable for work. I think it will be and do not plan to make any more major changes until the end of the year unless something catastrophic happens.
The phone has not crashed and boots 5x faster than stock (30s - 35s from button down). Bluetooth connects within one or two seconds compared to 5s - 10s before. Wifi performance has remained unchanged, sometime up to 30s to fix but I have only tried on my old, home router. GPS lock is 10s - 15s indoors, maybe a slight performance increase. Camera loads quick. No hesitation when typing (after the last upgrade I was seeing a lot of that).

I'd say CM7.2 last stable release.
Better then any other ROM i tried, and i tried them all
I'd like neutrino 2.8 EE too, rock solid since launch

No, Neutrino is CM7 based and webtop does not exist on any such roms (or any ICS roms).
Furthermore , the old Webtop is likely to become permanently dead. We will have to figure out how to use the tablet mode based webtop in the future.

"Best" is subjective. The most popular Blur-based ROM still seems to be NottachTrix; unfortunately, the latest version (1.3.1) is also the last version, as Nottach no longer supports it (he no longer owns an Atrix). There are a few other Blur-based ROMs that seem to still be in active development, but I haven't really been following them (I use CM7.2).
