Yeah, it's definitely a safer option.
Just flashed using the Heimdall files and it's fast as f*ck.
Got rid of a good amount of the bloat too.
Will need sometime to gather some thoughts about it.
I like how it uses the stock ics keyboard. It has no home button lag either.

I was rooted prior and flashed ShiShirRom ICS that was leaked using Aroma installer - everything appears to be intact - there are a few minor bugs that I was expecting but they do not cause any usage issues.
Root is still in place on my phone and all apps are working - I found that disabling the Accuweather and a few other services I do not use have made a HUGE difference in my battery life.
Unplugged it at 6am this morning with just minor use today and as of 3:40pm I am still at 94% charge - ( minor use is - installed a few updates from Google Play, roughly 6 text messages, Exchange email and Gmail and a few minutes showing my coworkers ICS and its new task manager )
Hey does this update wipe data?
And I assume you don't need to be rooted to do it?

OneClick ODIN doesn't require root but it maybe pre-configured to wipe out data.
I installed with the one click exe so will probably wait untilled a cwm kernal is available. I'm slightly tired of flashing this week (6). So will wait a couple of days to see if entropy can save the day again.

A kernal is a little seed inside the phone that decides whether or not you can have root. By swapping it out with a CWM capable one, you automatically are allowed to have root. The name is a bastardization of the word "kernel" because originally there were only hardware kernals but after Igor Palitov revolutionized computing by creating a software version they wanted to differentiate the names. Thus, "kernel" went to the more important and newer thing and the old one got stuck with the informal name now turned official.
You must of not received the google play update Didn't get it on my s2 yet but I did get.it on my EVO view

According to http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/1...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life) there will be an update to Eris phones. One thing I wonder about is they are calling this mandatory.
What happens if you don't install this? I know Verizon tracks who installs patches and I don't want to take chances losing root.
yeah I'm running EvilEris3.0 on my wife's Eris. I'm actually wanting to go back to the stock 2.1 cause shes not happy with how her phone is acting.....wondering if this will put it back to stock or HOW do I flash it back to the stock ROM?
any help with this would be thankful.
Ok lets not, panic. You need to read the entire thing, and point out that if you have MR3 then MR4 is mandatory but if you only have MR2 then it is only recommended meaning if your current rom has OTA working and you have MR 2 you will be able to ignore the update. If you have MR3 (MR being maintenance release) the update will be eventually be installed for you if you don't do it voluntarily. and you cannot get a replacement for any problems that this is suppose to address if you do not install it
Hey this shouldn't be a big deal. This same update was sent out sometime at the end of last month and those who were rooted were able to root back instantly. Even the 1.49 people. (Assuming you have luck with ADB recovery)
So it will just temporarily remove root?

I'll just wait for someone to run diffs on it vs the leak4rombase version and see what we can get from it.
Okay with this new root method and all I'm curious as to know if this MR4 is going to stop us from rooting this method. The old method wasn't stopped, but obviously not everyone can do that method.

I like to use different apps in multi window.. Gmail.. YouTube... Would you like to have additional ones?

My main reason for rooting is for mods. I definitely wanted the wallet mod and custom apps in multi window. I think I'll stay stock rooted though as I'm completely satisfied with the ui and stability.

For myself coming from the gnex I had to have a phone with a unlocked or in this case unlockable bootloader so that I could have the freedom to flash what I like. I do not like bloat and I enjoy the great mods from these great devs. Also I like custom roms over stock as well. Thats why I root.
Honestly I kept my Note 2 stock unrooted for a while, at least until Scott released CleanRom. I was perfectly happy with unrooted and heck a lot of times I flash it back to stock unrooted relocked for a few days. To me The only reasons to root are wifi tether, and with a toggle widget you can use the hotspot unrooted.
I still use CleanRom Ace though. Going to see what kind of battery life the new kernel gives

Right, I should have clarified. It works but it doesn't work well. As with the S3, jelly Bean plus verizon Hotspot don't work well together. Data drops, what not happen a lot when connecting to a pc. The wifi tether app works much better.

TBOLT to GNII Also - Rooted both
I also upgraded from a rooted Thunderbolt (put it back to stock yesterday just for the experience) a week ago and rooted my GNII the next day. Primarily because I don't like restrictions but the limited apps in the multiview was kicker. Who in their right mind (VZ!) would limit that functionality? Anyways, using latest CleanROM ACE 4.0.5 and Nova Launcher and couldn't be happier.
how could you not root? there is no way i could deal with apps that are loaded with ads for a full day...adfree and tibu to are two must have apps.

agreed. My main reasons:
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
full access for Lightflow
Root Call Blocker Pro (to replace the deleted-by-Verizon call/text blocking function)
get rid of WiFi nag notification
use any app in the multi window function
customized toggles
WiFi hotspot
turn off shutter sounds on camera
Otherwise, my phone is mostly stock (running CleanRom 1.0, which is basically stock with a few of these mods)
happy happy happy
No need for for me to root, the main reason I root is for battery percent and that is possible to do while not rooted. Adfree messes with some of the websites I mainly use so no thanks for that.
Another reason why is because I like to be able to get OTA updates and install them without wiping the phone.
Tether is possible without root too. No need for titanium backup if you don't need to wipe .

Since you have the Verizon GN2, I'm surprised you're ok with what they've done. Doesn't the persistent WiFi notification bother you? How about the lack of all of the available toggles? What really got me was the removal of the stock email widget. It's such a basic feature - it's mind blowing that this isn't available on stock.

If you are rooted you can't get OTA's anyway. Look in the main HTC One forums, the kernels there have steps you can follow to install them.

Get the ROM I linked, you still get all the features of the stock ROM and way better performance and batterylife, and you still get WiFi Calling on the phone. I love the ROM and it has the camera and GPS fixes that T mobile hasn't given us yet.
yeap what he said. most of the international roms are bug free and lean as **** now. almost all of them have setups for ATT/TMO/international. (sorry sprint you got ****ed)
i'm on ordroid 4.2.0 and se7en kernel. and everything works fine. the nice thing about the international roms are they are rebased on the international 1.29 version of the rom that HTC has already pushed out. But since carriers love to push bloatware and test the roms to make sure they dont break the phones it will take a while before TMO or even ATT to have the 1.29 version of the roms out.

The ROM comes with the new Kernel, you have to reset your phone though when coming from the stock ROM. All you need to do is flash the ROM off his thread and it contains everything you need, no need to flash anything else.

I tried Super One Click it says killing adb server then starting then it ends up not responding.
I tried Motofail and it just hangs on waiting for device.
I also tried fastboot and had a similar experience.
I have debugging and non market apps ticked on the phone and the drivers installed from Motorola.
Does the phones need to be off or in recovery?

Hi thanks for the reply but that top "one click method" has a broken link.
I think nothing is working because I had multiple ADB.EXE on my computer I deleted them all but the on in the superoneclick folder but still not luck.
This is frustrating I didn't have any problems before and it seems that all the threads about rooting the atrix are very old and all the links are broken.
Any other ideas?

Try to uninstall (not just delete) all android and motorola related software, reboot the computer and use ccleaner to clean the crap left behind by those, also check the registry to make sure they didn't left anything there. Once done, try those steps, and redownload ecerything you need, in case downloads were corrupted. Also, for fastboot I think it's better to use moto-fastboot than regular one

What is casuals usb device? its definitely the phone I have no idea how that driver got on there. will uninstall from the device manager. I just need to see Motorola ADB device installed! Grrr
Thanks.
I feel like a total idiot!
All I did was un install the casual's usb device driver from the device manager, I ticked the box that says to delete the driver. Then I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in. BAM picked up the adb driver and installed now it seems that super one click is working but I will let you know when it is done. IT WORKS!
I was very overwhelmed and going around in circles, at last I got my head together!
Now I need to get a custom recovery on it and I can finally get a decent custom rom.
I know everyone hates this questions but what is a good rrom? I am looking for total stability I want the HDMI out to work and good battery life I dont care about any fancy features. Just rock solid stability.
I hope you guys can continue to give the great support you have been!

I am so relieved I had a atrix years ago and missed it ever since, I used to have fund changing roms all the time and I really wanted to get that phone back so I bought one with a broken digitizer and after breaking one new digitizer I managed to fit it! Now I have finally got a custom rom on there and everything is much better I am so happy.
I think this is still one of the best phones out there.
Thanks everyone for your help I feel like its xmas morning. Well actually much better because I got something useful and had to put work into it to get it!

Sorry one more thing guys. One of the original issues that made me want to root and install a custom rom was that once I unlocked my phone to all carriers (which I paid for officially) my RAM was reduced to 375mb, now it has improved and is at 490mb available out of 815mb total.

(says this in the "about phone" section).
Do you guys know how to get the full 1GB of RAM? I would like to be able to run some pretty intensive apps on here.
Thanks.

Hey dude thanks for the link but I tried to install it on my phone with recovery and it hasn't changed anything still: 461mb/815mb ram...
hmmm...
I read some ROMS have the ram fix built in I guess not MROM?
And I read its a Kernal issue maybe I can install a different Kernal?
Thanks.
815mb is the full ram. You never get the full 1gb even on stock. I could be wrong but I believe 815mb is the most we can get. On cm 10.1 I get in the early 700mb

That sounds about right phone reserves the rest for core drives and operating system. what you see taken up from the 8** is the apps installed that are running. If you install the full batch of gapps can lose 400mb of ram. In most cases this isnt a problem unless you runn graphic intense games then you might want to limit what gapps get installed to only what you'll use.
Nope. If you take a closer look at initrd, you will see that the rest is assigned to video.
Hit the damn thanks button instead!

Guys thanks for all the advice.
I think MROM is ok, I personally do not like the way it looks, the blue everywhere and the symbols are pretty lame.
It is very stable though!
Any other advice?
I guess go back to neutrino rom like the good ol days.

I feel like an idiot now. Tired of waiting for KK, I flashed Mahdi like three days ago and got bootlooped, which took me a whole day to fix. Coming from Samsung phones, this phone had the first stock rom that I was comfortable using so I might go back but its almost 2 GB which is a tad bit too large for a phone with no expandable.

madhi is a great ROM, but you Must flash the PATCH for your device, before restarting.
It looks and plays amazing but I miss some of the cosmetic stock features. I guess ill try stock and probably end up aosp. Do you think stock 4.4 will improve AOSP functionality over time, with the kitkat kernel and all?

Aosp is definitely tough to get off of. The fluidity of it, the size of the os itself and the overall professionalism it brings to the device is awesome, in comparison to the cartoon style lg has put on.
But I digress... Stability, camera, multimedia playback and most of all battery life on stock lg rom all outweigh what aosp gives me.
I came from a nexus 5, I'm quite content with stock but might pick up next gen nexus tab to tinker with (that's the tough part, I like flashing a lot haha)

Is it really true that you get bettter battery life on stock? If yes, then that's shocking. The main reason I went to AOSP on Samsung phone was to get better battery life, its hard to believe that its the opposite here.

For my device and my needs yes, I have got overall better battery life on stock, that's even compared to custom kernels and tweaking values. Then again a 3000mah battery should be giving better battery life then most. On average I can hit an hour screen on for every 10-12% of battery usage.
I mean common sense would kick in here, if I'm gaming it'll drop more, but standby time (WiFi & data on) is amazing. Not even using greenify anymore tbh

I'm curious if like the HTC One, I'll have to have stock recovery in order to install the update or if it'll work with a custom recovery. Sigh life is so hard lmao :silly::silly::silly:

Swell! It's serving me D803T20C_00.kdz, which I assume, the T is for Telus/Bell. Think I might hold off on upgrading until they can do a flash over custom recovery with root.

I got a D803R20D_00.kdz, kinda magical since… I do own a Rogers phone.
Anyone take the ota yet?

Doing that now. 635mb of KitKat. Waiting for it to reboot after the second install.
I updated this morning. All worked well. I prepared by going back to stock recovery and removing xposed module last night. I don't know if it was necessary, but I didn't want to take any chances. I kept the phone rooted though. After the update, I'm still rooted, so all is good! Haven't had a chance to test it out too much though, but for those waiting, the update process was pretty smooth.

You kept the device rooted after taking OTA? Did you delete any system apps or use "survival mode" in SU?
Also what root method did you use? Thanks
Yup still have root access after OTA. Perfect.
How did you keep it rooted? I'm currently rooted with Xposed installer installed. I'm also using G2 Exposed to shrink my nav bar. Do I need to uninstall these apps before updating to kitkat?

I did a factory reset last night, which brought me back to stock recovery as well. I then checked to make sure I was still rooted, which I was. If not, I've used Kingo Root (http://www.kingoapp.com/index.htm) and it's worked great for me. Anyway, I was rooted, so all was good. I made sure Xposed was not installed, and I didn't install anything else, just waited until this morning. I checked for the update and away it went. After the update, I was still rooted. That's all I did. I didn't touch SU. I'm now in the process of making a backup using Titanium Backup, and then I plan to remove some Rogers bloat. I hope that helps.

As far as I am aware of, yes, you will need to uninstall any xposed modules you have and xposed itself.
Can someone else confirm please?

I didn't uninstall the Xposed modules, but I did disable them and then uninstalled Xposed before installing the OTA.
As a bonus, Tap to Pay is enabled in the 4.4.2 ROM, unlike for our American friends.
