Hey everyone,
I just came to the M8 from the Nexus 4 and it's been great. I've gone through the whole rooting procedure but haven't flashed any custom ROM on it yet. I tried to look for this information around the forums but I couldn't find anything about it. Is there a way to get Screen-On time measurements in the stock ROM? Or is it a feature on a custom ROM? Thanks everyone!
There are various apps that can provide this.
Screen on time is something that has been removed from Sense for some time now (since maybe Sense 4+); and I believe Android in general (so I assume GPE ROMs won't have it, either). Although more "modded" or feature packed custom ROMs may have it (CM, etc.). I'm mostly a Sense user, so I can't say for sure.
I have Better Battery Stats which works without root I am fairly certain. The apk is floating around xda but I went ahead and paid for this version on the play store to help support the developer, as it is an app well made and one I use every day to check my screen on time to gauge battery performance

I had wonky times with BBS (however unrooted, so that might have caused it?), but found GSam battery monitor to be pretty good.

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely give these a try and see how they work out for me. Sense has been such a nice ROM for me performance wise and looks wise that I didn't want to go to a aosp based ROM.

While I'm not new to design, I am new to Android themes. This is my first theme and wanted to get some opinions. It's not completed, but before I got too far, I wanted to see if people liked where it was heading.
This will be for Froyo and I am hoping to have it released relatively soon. I'm kinda picky, though, so I'm likely to pick at it over and over again.
Update: This will be posted tomorrow (Feb 6th). Not sure on a time since my wife has been griping that I've spent too much time playing this weekend. Initially, this will be adb push. Not the preferred method so I will get a flashable version going ASAP.
Update Update: This has been released. Download with install instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944278

Nice! I can't wait to give it a go.
Me likes!!
That looks extremely sexy.
Thanks, everyone. I've got quite a bit done. Working on all the status bar icons now. If people don't mind doing an adb push, I can post what I have so far.
The biggest hurdle I need to overcome is changing the font color in the status bar. I've found steps on how to do it, but it involves some Java so I haven't got around to it yet.
As soon as I get done with the graphics, I'm going to start making my way through the XML files as well.

I'm running the emmc install currently and it works just fine.

I haven't been into the Atrix forums in a while, so I would like a rom recommendation.
I have an rooted, subsidy unlocked AT&T Atrix. Its currently running Homebase but I am having issues with it, primarily:
Xorg is using about 50% CPU cycles, causing the unit to run hot and killing my battery. Im not sure why, perhaps a memory leak, but whatever it is, I would still like to try something else.
I WANT webtop (Ubuntu) and maximum functionality. Fingerprint reader needs to work. HDMI w/o dock mod needs to work. I don't care about what the UI looks like as I'll replace it with GO Launcher.
BTW: I'm using a Galaxy S2 right now, prior to that a 4S, but something about the Atrix keeps me coming back to it. I love this phone, there is literally nothing else like it (feature wise) on the market. Not even the Atrix 2.

Wet Dream if you want to set your Atrix apart from the rest thanks to the Webtop Environment!
But you can also try ICS (CM9 KANG) if you haven't already tried it on the SGS2.
I've been using Wet Dream with a highly modified Webtop2SD environment but ever since I installed CM9 just to see ICS I truly think it's well worth it even on it's Alpha status.. (I think it has already upgraded to Beta status!) Woohoo!

I love CM9 so much.
But with Fingerprint+Webtop which are Moto's, u really shoulda go Wetdream, even if i had more issues with WET DREAM than with ICS yet
And i am writing this only to get my 10 posts to thank Jokersax for ICS so much
Hey guys, my friend has an evo 3d and he is having trouble with crashes etc on stock. He asked if I could root his phone for him. Could you throw out some suggestions for the smoothest most reliable cdma rom for this phone. Keep in mind, after I flash the phone he will probably never update the from so make it a good one! Thanks.

Nearly all the ROMs in development section are stable unless they are labled alpha. If he wants to remain stock, a master reset is probably needed.
I'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 and it is amazing. Great ROM and best of all its Jellybean. The only thing I've found wrong with this ROM is the 3d doesn't work. But 3d on phones is lame anyhow. Kinda a gimmick more than anything.
Android Revolution or MeanROM. I wouldn't recommend any others as ultra stable and fully working, as I'll assume if he's anything like my brother, it's going to have to be perfect... Otherwise he'll never let you near one of his devices again.
If he's on Virgin Mobile, go with Harmonia.
I do not recommend flashing any kernel other than stock either, unless you are positively 200% sure it will never break down. Stock kernel as I have seen is the most bug free (although definitely NOT the smoothest, not by a long shot).
Make sure you tell him what you're doing if you decide to flash a custom kernel, and do NOT under any circumstances over clock. If he accidently touches something and ends up at 1.8gHz and performance governor, (while he may come to you to try and fix it) he may also end up obliterating the hardware on his phone.
I only know from past experiences.
So to end on a final note.
Enhanced stock is really the only way to go to ensure ultimate stability. And unless he is going to flash ROMs himself, that's my opinion.

I've tried alot of ROM's but all of them never really do the trick for me. I would just like a ROM that is ofcourse fast(er) and has a long battery life.. based on the latest jellybean version. Also I tried Foxhound and in the upper right corner there's a white pixel line... is it the software? or just me?
Ive tried Foxhound, CM 10, Supernexus,... Does anyone know a ROM that would fit me?

Do NOT post threads asking which the best ROM or kernel is
jje
To be honest mate everyone has there own favorites. Its not really allowed to ask which is best as it could cause heated discussiobs which is not allowed.
But my advice is try out different roms and flash different kernels as its mainly the kernels that will determine the battery life.
But also the reason why its best not to ask is because everyone is different. Some users are really heavy duty users for faming and internet. Where others wouldnt be as much of a heavy user.
Hooe this helps.

Is there a dev working on porting MIUI to the S4? Is there any reason why it couldn't/shouldn't be ported? I really liked it on my Rezound and I'd love to give it a shot on my S4 (maybe with some of the TW features incorporated).
Thanks!

As of today, I got it to stop defaulting to NV and instead default to RUIM like it should. I got the APNs to default correctly. I got the roaming indicator in the banner to read the correct networks. I just have 4 test builds to flash yet and hopefully it will be good to go. Assuming it plays nice.
No ETAs, No PMs about it, No "hey Dubbsy...please"
The thing I've noticed with MIUI people in general is when I post something in an MIUI post as a response, my other ROM threads are immediately swarmed on by a bunch of MIUI leg humpers asking if it's done yet. As far as I'm concerned those people inside of my other threads will always be told I'm not working on it.

Take your time, someone working on it very little is better than someone not working on it at all.
