So i bought one on Thursday and it arrived today. I just noticed that a leaked version of ICS was released just now, do you guys think I should use that? or cm9? or another ROM? Really not liking the touchwiz
I'm upgrading from a captivate which had cm7

Currently, this is the bestestest ICS ROM out right now for the "one".

If you just got it today I would suggest you start reading guides and FAQs. When you think you have it, read it all again. Its similar to the Captivate, but different enough you can do some damage if you aren't paying attention.
That said, the leak just dropped is not ready immediately for use. There is no "best" ROM, try many of them. There are several ICS ROMs, both AOSP and TW based. They are in the dev sections.

Thanks guys, anything in special i should watch out for? that maybe the captivate didnt have?
Right now the ICS leak contains bootloaders and a stock Samsung kernel - stock Samsung ICS kernels SUCK, even the I9100 release ones.
ICS will be more polished in a few days. Since we have had kernel source for only a week - things aren't quite polished yet.

Just curious, why do stock Samsung ICS kernels suck? And how do you know that already? I was under the impression that we never had stock ICS i777 kernels until we got the leak today, so have you already looked at/tested them and compared them to your own? Just want to know the thought process
EDIT: You edited your post. I didn't know we had the stock kernel already. Still, what about it makes it so bad?
Some think else look into from that have Kay setting installed it is AMAZING what he did with the sgs2 that said have fun and do sum looking in i9100 section most of there roms are cross flashable with hell raiser...

It's brand new and shiney. Might be best to give it a workout for a week or so to make sure everything is functional and stays functional. Not like it happens alot but there are lemons out there. No sensce causing yourself the xtra grief of wondering if you killed the phone or it already had a fatal flaw.

fuel_alerted wakelock (fixed in source-built custom kernels - we fixed it 6 months ago for Gingerbread, we had to fix it again for ICS)
Instabilities if you use SetCPU (still not fixed, but fundamentally can't be fixed for a binary kernel)
Let me do my noob question here then.
My GS2 has 2 months old. On this time i've tested a few ROMs and Kernels.
I just dont know how to erase all the phone data. I just came out from a bootloop erasing the data and everything else but the folders are still there.
I did a little search but didnt find any info... also nothing on FAQs.
Sorry to use your post man
I'm a noob but i did my research. Keep on GB for a week or 2.
I do use ICScrew Rom. Work fine. Came with a good kernel and you can also flash the entropy one.
There are several others rom that work fine just choose one to get more experienced.

Sounds like a great idea, I always had trouble with 3g on the captivate, never knew if it was my fault or the phone's

I have ran probably about 6 different ROMs and the last 2 that I have ran, I swear by - took me about 3 months to finally understand the terminology, but an odexed based rom is butter smooth and runs good if the author put some time and effort into it.
My suggestion is ShiShirRom found in the Dev section or if you prefer to help "beta" test his ICS rom which is based off of the leaked AT&T S2 Rom - then give that one a try. It runs really well and I have had no issues personally.
Hah! I just got mine yesterday, and I've been playing with it. I've never had a smart phone before this, but I do have a Asus Transformer so I have experience sticking on custom roms and ****ting all over it (of course, I'm really just going through the motions outlined by the pros in that xda forum..).
Hello guys,
I just got myself an Atrix 4G, it should be here by tomorrow. I'm a LG Optimus One user, and i decided it was time to buy a new phone, after a year and a half with that LG (running CM9 atm on it).
I have been reading this forum for a while, reading about Atrix, CM10 (impressed with epinter's work) and stuffs, but i still have some questions and i would love if you guys could answer them.
1th one:
I live in Brazil and imported the Atrix 4G from Mercado Livre, a website like eBay. I have been reading here that the AT&T phone have some problems with OTA updates and stuffs like that, so people are losing they phones when they updated or unlock bootloader... some stuffs like that. So my question is: since i live on Brazil, should i ignore any OTA update if i want to enjoy custom roms? Or i can upgrade and root/unlock when i feel i want it?
2th one:
Still on the bootloader topic, i see i need to use something called Fastboot. The link say it's compatible only with Windows... but i use Ubuntu as my desktop, with no dual boot. Can i use terminal to run it too?
3th one:
ICS and JB roms seems to not have HW acceleration drivers because NVidia don't release they drivers for those versions. Does it mean TEGRA is basicly useless and not used on those roms yet? If so, how is gaming on those roms?
4th one:
I use my LG Optimus One basicly to read books (yeah, i should buy a tablet, but nah..) and gaming with GBA/SNES emulators, and for that, CM9 (and CM7 before it) give me great performance. So, what is the rom with best performance in games for Atrix? I guess ICS/JB ones are out of the table, and i don't think the default CM7 would be it... i mean, it's fast, but usualy roms based on them do more tweaks in performance, so... any recommendation?
I'm pretty anxious and hope the phone gets here soon! For someone who only played around with dumb phones and mid/low end Android devices, a dual core with a TEGRA GPU will be a huge boost
Thanks in advanced guys! And sorry for my english :S
I can't answer all you question, but regarding OTA there are no updates out since last JUNE, there is a chance the phone is updated. Motorola fixed the issue so the OTA update is fine to carry out. The latest update for AT&T is 2.3.7 GB Blur_Version.4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US.
Regarding UBUNTU. You might be able to use SuperOneClick through MONO to fastboot. Also I have found this russian forum link showing how to fastboot in Unbutu. Only issue is its in RUSSIAN lol.. http://forum.motofan.ru/index.php?showtopic=1730813
I personally would not update to ICS firmwares just yet, as they do not have fingerprint scanner support just yet.
I am currently using CM7.2 and had GTA 3 on my phone, its works great no lag, pretty smooth too.
HOPE this helps

Thanks for the reply, anaschillin
Atrix is supposed to get here today... can't wait!
I'm interested in the 3th one, it is useless the GPU without drivers ?

Fastboot is available for linux... its RSD lite that isnt... Use http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/2010/05/sbfflash.html instead of RSD, and use the fastboot found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 (should be first or second on list depending on 64 or 32 bit... Hope that helps
Hi guys,
I had been keeping up with the CM9. However, I had been busy with my study for the last couple of months. So couldn't really make time for XDA. When I came couple of days back I saw CM10's development is going on with full swing. I've a couple of question. I'd be very happy if someone answers.
1) What is the main obstacle now to get a fully working JB?
(last time I saw, it was HWA. However, Motorola's leaked ROM maybe solved it. Am I right?)
2) What is with the kernel?
(What is a closed source kernel & what is a open source kernel? I didn't hear anything like that before. Some days back there was also a leak for Atrix 2. However, they didn't complain about it. What's going on with it? What would happen if we had the kernel with a specific source?)
I'd be very happy if someone explains me.
In short. We have leaked libs and kernel but problem is that all roms based on it have bad battery life, screen tearing, heating... Because same libs works with another phones, we suspect that the problem is with with the kernel. Closed kernel means that we can not change it and solve bugs. If we get source of kernel, ICS and JB is more likely. What I know, some guys is trying to port kernel from Xoom.

I'm new to this, I haven't used a different kernel yet except what is included in the ROMs. Heard overclocking can have effects on the digitizer, etc.
HOWEVER I'm using CM10 epinter's, and it
Works great - except for a few games and graphical applications. Gotta try it to see what works and what doesnt.
Battery life is getting better and better. I can go a full 24 hours with medium use.
All radios GPS WiFi work great.
Camera works fine.
Camcorder doesn't work. This was the biggest reason I was going to return to gingerbread until I found 3rd party app for video recording.
That may not be the technical answer you need but it's just from my experience.
Well my problem is that I haven't had any problems, lol. Let me make that a little more clear, I've been running my MoPho on Jokers CM9 7.0.0 for MONTHS since the day it came out. And it was so stable I never bothered looking to update any more after that. Truth is before Jokers CM9 I hadn't flashed any ROMs on this phone before, I went straight from stock to I think version 3.8 or so. And I've been a loyal Joker fan ever since. But after I quit updating I lost track of what issues have been fixed, and what issues have arisen. So I'm really at a lost for what to do, I don't know what has been happening on the scene, and unfortunatley, I'm in need of update because I have started getting bigger and bigger issues with this release. Crazy stuff really, I don't think anyone else are having these issues, and I'm sure it's because I've stayed on this release for so long, in fact I've been on this same install since June I believe.
Anywho, I'm trying to figure out what I should do from here. I really need the update because my phone is starting to become a little unusable. And I'm starting to have to do workarounds for workarounds. So is CM10 the way to go? Or is there any other ROMs worth looking into, and if I do go with CM10, what would be the best update process to go from 7.0.0 to latest without doing a fresh install if possible. If not what Jelly Bean ROM is the most stable right now? Also, is there any GB ROM that is up to par with JB?
TL;DR stuck on bugged legacy ROM, need to find the latest and greatest with the least amount of issues.
Also! If any devs happen to pop over this thread (if I were lucky enough), and they want some reports of what issues I'm running into with my install I'd be more than willing to tell you about them, screenshots, reproducing them, etc. They're really interesting to say the least. I've got one that causes thumbnails in my gallery to be replaced by images I've never even taken or seen anywhere else. And they also tend to be pretty risque!
This CM10 rom by Th3Bill is my daily driver for about a month now. To install this rom you'll have to do a fresh install, you can't upgrade it over CM9. There are some minor issues, as is the case with every aftermarket rom.
Do it. Th3Bill's CM10 is as good as any right now. CM9 for the Photon didn't have a chance to fully mature before CM10 came along.

I'm on my phone right now, so searching isn't really pheasible for me. Would you mind telling me what the major issues are? I'm assuming all the.old driver issues still exist.
Cm10 's issues include but are not limited to : video cam borked (use video cam illusion)
Usb tether borked
And possible slight lag on screen transitions.
However my new latest and greatest daily driver is Th3Bill's Liquid Smooth.
With the same issues as cm10.
Go to Th3Bill.com and check out all his great work!
Don't forget to thank all who help!

Well I'm reading up on different phones and I was almost sold on the LG Nexus 4 until I read further into the no LTE issue and then it clicked that while it can come with 16 gigs of memory, it's internal and therefore if the phone dies violently...or just gets lost, I lost a lot of important pics should i not back up to my comp enough. Which I don't honestly.
So I'm reading up on this phone and it has everything I need except one hitch, it doesn't come stock with Jellybean. LGs site says it come with 4.0 ICS. So I'm wondering if it does get the OS update and if so to what version. That will honestly be the deal breaker on whether I commit to buying this device in the near future.
I know i could just read through this whole forum..but really I just want a simple answer with my making my head explode with all the extra info..cause my ADD hide will sit here and read everything out of boredom. And I'm just not in the mood tonight. Please and thank you!

Well, while there's not an "official" JB update yet, there are a few unofficial ones that are working quite well, as well as CM/AOSP in the making. You can also just convert it to a nexus (basically) if you'd like, so I'd say go for it personally. However I'll probably get flamed for even answering you because you should really search since there are probably about a million threads just like this. Just food for thought...
NEVER buy a phone for what it MIGHT do in the future...
The Optimus G will probably get JB in the future - but there is a slight chance it won't. And who knows when, could be months.
If you don't mind rooting and tinkering, there are a few ports that mostly (but not completely or perfectly) run JB now.
If that works for you, then there you go.

If you need or really want JB, and don't feel like rooting, wait a few months for the next crop of super phones. By the time this gets official JB support, the next batch will already be here with faster processors, etc. However, if you do like to mod and root and tinker, as was mentioned, there are some developers working on AOSP and CM10.1. Hopefully that will be out by the end of this month, but we don't ask for or get ETA's around here...etiquette, and stuff.
Once that door opens, I would imagine the ROM's and custom development will take-off.

I guess I should have worded my question differently. I should have said, has it gotten the update, rather than does it get it. But from the way it sounds, it has not. I like rooting and tinkering. But I really just want a stock JB phone to work with and tinker from there. I appreciate the answers though. Thanks.
Snow released a fully functional JB port based on stock for a different LGOG (not sure which one) which works phenomenally. Though I'm more for ICS instead of JB, I'm giving it a shot. The performance is outrageous.

Where is that at?
Do all features that are at least in the OEM firmware work properly?
(I have to have a phone that works, out of beta, without bugs and crashes and spending days on workarounds. I tried AOSP on my Samsung Galacxy SII Skyrocket and it was nothing but problems. Camera crashing, editing configs.... it was a beta at best and unreliable. I don't think I want a custom ROM ever again if that is the experience with it, but I do love JB)

Everything's working fine on my end too. The only other problem i've heard is of some people not having their 32g or 64g external card show up while others have. I just flashed it last night, granted it's still early to know for sure without testing a few more days but I'm really enjoying it and things are flawless right now.
