[Q] ICS / CM9 / AOKP - Recommended Rom? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Still using Neutrino on my Atrix which i love but have resisted temptation moving to an ICS version of the software as i cannot seem to pin down what works and does not work.
As the ROMs are alphas there do not seem to be any definitive Issue lists so I thought i'd ask the users.
Mainly I'm concerned about having a functioning camera and video camera. I also love the fingerprint unlock (although i could live without) and I don't like the fingerprint navigation.
Any ROMS that you could recommend would be great

Video recording and finger print scanner does not work on ICS roms. Camera does work however it can be buggy sometimes.
all the ics roms are pretty much the same but themes and customizations might differ. you should try jokers kitchen sink...that has all the ICS roms in one installer with different mods.

+ 1. I prefer using Jokersax's kitchen sink with aokpcb rom.

Vidcam is a dealbreaker for me. Got 3 kids so need that quite often

CM9 and AOKP are both great if you can live without the video camera. You can use videocam illusion from playstore, but it is a bit laggy. The still camera works fine, or some prefer camera 360 from playstore. AOKP gives a bit more customization options over CM9, which also has a lot.

I just started AOKP yesterday and aside from the camera and my phone app oriented landscape and not portrait, I love it

i was using neutrino 2.6 ee til yesterday. flashed aokp #37 (ics based) and it's been a good experience. about the camera/video recording, it's ok. no fcs and itfunctioning well. i'd recommend this rom for you, at least take a look on it.

What Works/Doesn't Works on every ROM
As you may see, there are Jokersax's ROMs, turl1's ROMs and AOKP (recently AOKPBC was added by MOTO Tegra team)
These are the lists of functions I found while using that do not work.
All CM9 roms have compatibility issues with some applictions that worked on GB. Also there's battery drain problem...+fingerprint unlock hasn't added to CM9 as it's not native feature
Jokersax (Latest Version 0.6.9.1 Beta)
-Video Recording(but can record using app 'Videocam illusion')
-Video Playback
-Proper 2D Graphics
-Bluetooth(it worked in former version but there seems to be problem solving it lately...)
-Browser Rotation(when you rotate your phone while browsing it will FC itself)
Turl
-Basically CM9 ROMs don't support video recording and playback, and browser rotation
AOKP(Latest Version #37)
-Video Recording(but can record using 'Videocam illusion')
-Video Playback
-Browser Rotation
-(I think AOKP for Atrix doesn't support theme feature yet. It bricks when applied.)
AOKPBC
-This ROM seems to have many problems as it's released its first version recently... not stable yet.
MIUI v4(ported)
-All features that don't work on CM9 kangs...+Alpha
These are what I've found. If anyone has noticed another problems I didn't mentioned, plz let me know for clarification...(and this information can be wrong...)

[Q] [REQ] Stock Camera [blurcamera.apk]

So I just installed CyanogenMod 7 Beta5 on my Defy and it's AWESOME!
But the only thing that disturb me is the Camera app in the ROM,
It does not have widescreen option for photos and The flash comes too early when taking pictures (photos becomes way too bright)..
So I'm asking that if someone could provide me the Stock BlurCamera.apk of froyo Defy please!!....
And if you could please explain how to install a stock app...
Many thanks
moment i try it
sorry, deos not work... i pulled the apk from pays ROM and tried to install it or put it to system/app both does not work.
If you want to trie it your own here the apk

Thanks anyway!! I'll test it...
EDIT: Doesn't work unfortunately :'(

The BlurCamera uses libs from Blur core, I checked some files inside the .apk, it requires Motoblur.
I'm no android dev so I don't know what is possible here, but it would be awesome to have the BlurCamera (in my opinion the only good Blur app) on CM7, so if anyone of the devs has some time, BlurCamera fully supports Defy hardware, has an option to turn shutter sound off, and provides widescreen pictures as well as many effects and a decent UI.
the camera is the only bug of cm7,after AGPS being fixed today
fix flash focus maybe?
I am not using CM7 ( going to install it in the next few days). As i was reading i understood on a thread that in Camera Settings there is and option to pre-focus that fixes your problem??? Don't really know if it's there, maybe i red it elsewhere.
Any news on this? If there are no legal problems regarding motorola, I think this would be worth to work on, I could try but I think one of our great developers like Quarx or dexter could do it faster and more professional
Here again a short summary of the features:
- nice UI designed for fullscreen recording (16:9 pictures, maybe soon 16:9 videos?)
- up to 5mp pictures
- 6x zoom
- some effects (grayscale, color inversion etc.)
- camera modes (night, macro, motion)
- many options (shutter sound, shutter animation, ...)
- autofocus and flash optimized for defy (very good pictures, especially with jpg compression patch)
- google camera somehow always is on full brightness... blurcamera can manage brightness levels of the screen that the display doesn't blind you while taking nightly images
- some things I forgot
Quarx already posted a zip with the blur camera for cm7 its only a test and I think video does not work at least no sound.

Thanks for the info!!
I just hope that the blur camera will be worked and integrated in CM7... Because the UI is sleek and simple..
When the BlurCamera works and most of the minor bugs are fixed CM7 by Quarx will be the perfect rom, but until now it's also the best I've ever seen
I hope that we'll find soon a way to install original MotoBlur apps separately on any unofficial ROM. It will be great to have the BlurCamera and the Blur Music Player on CM7.
I agree, although does slow phones down quite a bit, I've yet to find an app that integrates contacts as well. Hopefully there will be a way to bring motoblur to CM7.

Stable and Bugless X10 mini ROM?

Is there such thing as a rom that is bugless and stable?
For X10 mini? Thank you.
i think stock 2.1 is the best, no camera problem, no keyboard problem, no sensor problem
Stock rom is the best. No battery problems, no many forse closes , and everything is working but is more laggy than the other roms and you can't get the FULL capabilities of your device!!! On the other hand ROMs from xda's offer you newer versions and most of the times more stable than the stock one and you can take advantage of all the capabilities of your phone, but you may experience some hardware problems (and software ones) like audio jack detection, can't send or receive text messages ...etc. If you are not sure just use multiboot (Stock one inside the phone and some others in the sdcard)!!!
Hope I've helped!!!
I had reboots and poor battery life even with stock. As long as you use the right launcher and undervolt, battery is much better with cm6 and cm7. Latest versions of both are also very stable, fewer reboots and force close than stock from my pov. Camera is only issue with cm7.
Sent from my X10mini using XDA Premium App
but of course there are bugs...
LED color change is buggy on miniCM7, camera has no autofocus, so you can't read QR. For some reason I can't use flashlight toggle button on status bar like I can with miniCM6. Battery life & startup time is better than miniCM6, but worse than with stock firmware - definitely worse. GPS takes longer to fix (cold start, without GPS assistance data downloaded) than on stock firmware. There are still many bugs in miniCM7. The only better thing about it - it looks nice
Stock 2.1 is very stable, but I vote for Andread 2.2.9 v7f. Best Froyo ROM I´ve tested until now! Very stable, lite size, no extra features, everything working.
there's bug on the roms u must to try it ...

not work for me
I tired this on ChampionSwimmers AOKP build (JB 4.1.2)....I know, I know it is a 4.2 camera but the 4.2 camera has been ported to JB 4.1 many times on other devices and since there are many more users of JB4.1 ROMs than 4.2, I thought I might as well get the test out of the way.....
Eventually I was able to get it to work. I wasn't able to install it using the flashable zip...it may be the recovery I am using (it is Thomas1991_12's dual recovery with TWRP and CWM...neither would install the zip). So I manually installed Gallery2.apk and the library files (set permissions to 644) and the camera is working. The videorec FCs when you stop recording (saves the video though!). Panorama is also FCing...but I believe this is common when putting the 4.2 camera onto JB4.1 based ROMs....also the Forward Facing camera is FCing but I believe this also may be a bug in the AOKP ROM I am using. Unless some one else reports for a 4.2 ROM, I will test it out later today...
I attached two logcats, one for the viderec crashing and one for the panorama crashing....
Thanks a lot for this!
EDIT: forgot to mention that the zip appears to load correctly (doesn't throw any errors) but the new gallery does not appear in /system/app....
Great job...work on my CM10 LWW...problem are the same like above...
btw...what about photo sphere...
Im working on Android 4.2 so this fix will be included but before the rom is stable, ... I thought why not first a camera fix I think this errors will go when we swtich to 4.2

Great, work great in preview 4.2 of PAC.
A little glitch: when i put vertical the phone, the app delay to refresh the image.
Salu2
Running szl.kiev's CM10.1 using the provided kernel. Flashed the latest update of the 4.2 camera. Camera is working just fine. Videorec is not...does not record or save anything. Weird because this was working on my 4.1 ROM....so I installed the original 4.2 camera and tried it as well...videorec also not working, so it is a Jelly Bean 4.2 issue. Also tried vidrec in 420p resolution and it behaves the same....
Attached logcat of videorec from the latest release....
I also noticed that when the camera is changing modes that it flashes an image of what appears to be the miui green grass wall paper......
Another bug.
The image preview is to much wide in 8mpx resolucion. If you add 6mpx (16:9) would be nice
Salu2
PD: I flash 4.2 w/gapps again and the fix not work
WOW ! Nicely done !
-Looking forward to your next release !
Wow! Great work! Confirmed working on Xperia arc s 4.1.2.
I did a little test. I put the camera on some perfectly circular coins. On the 16:9 preview, they're stretched from a 4:3 ratio. However the photo was saved as 4:3 and not stretched so the end result was circular coins.
Salute to you sir :beer:
I'm a student so I have not much time and I'm working on more projects like CM 10.1 (Android 4.2), Kernel Developing, MIUI and Camera and this needs all time, family, ....
But I look forward to release a next version soon

browser scroll speed between GB & JB

Why the scroll speed on any browser on cm10 based roms is very fast with no lags on scrolling unlike scroll speed on GB stock based or even cm7 based roms is slow and lags a lot also noticed that on facebook app ... that is the only thing that makes me happy on cm10 roms ... i think this is the only problem on any GB rom in here.
just sad because i need stable wifi tethering & 720p camcorder, this makes me stuck with GB.

Has any progress been made towards running the TW camera on AOSP ROMs?

Hi there! I recently found out that Siyah Kernel allows dual booting on the S3, so I took the plunge and used it to install RootBox as my second ROM. I'm quite happy with it, but I'd love to have the Samsung camera's features back - particularly, the HDR and low light modes.
Does a mod exist that allows the TW camera to work, or has there been any previous technical discussion of this that may help me in my quest to make one?
I tried to port it myself with my minimal modding skills, but it turned out to be more complex than I expected: the furthest I got was getting the Samsung camera UI to appear and then pop up "Camera failed". I broke camera functionality entirely for all other apps, too
I'm now [slowly] downloading the Android source to see if I can make the necessary modifications to make Samsung's camera libraries work, but in the meantime, I'd love to know if there's something I missed in my searches. All I found was an XDA thread requesting a port of the GS3 camera to the GS2, and a thread on another board which included some interesting info from someone who had tried porting the GS3 camera to AOSP but nothing I didn't already know.
Any info on this would be appreciated. Thank you!
I dont think anyone is even trying. The aosp mod 2.60 in themes section is good but I recommend installing camera 360 from play for effects and cool hdr
The hdr is only an effect though

I took that as a challenge and have been working on it nonstop since yesterday
I have the camera working on my modded ROM now, I'm hoping to release the ROM and the source patches (for applying to other ROMs) once I get more of the features working (I would like to at least fix Low Light and the Camcorder) and knock out a couple issues like the app launching the non-existent TW gallery to view photos.
Here's a video as proof. Apologies for the quality, but I couldn't find a decent screen recording app: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYX4PSVDiIU
Now that I'm here again, I may as well ask- where would the best place be to post this? It's related to both a modded app and a modded ROM so I don't know whether it would fit better in Development or Themes/Apps.
Themes and apps, definitely
