My Atrix is SIM unlocked, rooted, bootloader unlocked and Gingerbread installed.
What to do now ? Just to use it as a smartphone only ?
Jocking. But suggestions appreciated.
- Is it really worth to try an other ROM ?
- Is there a possibility to connect a hard disk via USB port ?
- Is there a dual boot possibility to boot additional an other Linux operating system ?
- Is there any application to remote control my Atrix from my Linux (Ubuntu) laptop as a remote computer with desktop (homescreen etc.) of my Atrix ?
( Attention not talking about remot control of computer from the smartphone)
- How could a store (move) my
text massages (Gingerbread text messages)
emails (k9 mail)
videos (Gingerbread video camera)
fotos (camera zoom FX)
bookmarks, etc ... my profile of Firefox mobile
on my external SD card ?
Hi Folks ! My questions were not jocking, but probably too many of them.
So maybe one only:
Is it worth to try an other ROM when your phone is already unlocked and rooted with the original one ?
Until you've used cyanogenmod everything else is just.....lowbrow. Download the latest stable release of CM7 from the development forums. And you'll never go back to stock again.

Hi Phalanx7621 !
I have heard of cyanogenmod ROMs, but to my knowledge ( http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices ) there isn't an official one for the Atrix up to now, where everything (fingerprint etc.) is running fine.
Anyway, as I never used a different ROM, I have quite some difficulties to understand what are the benefits for doing like this. For sure there are, otherwise nobody would do. Maybe the ones of you who changed the ROM could share some facts with us the still non changed ones.
Maybe I am wrong, but if I compare this action with my ThinkPads. Should be comparable, as the Atrix is a kind of mini laptop and even running with Linux (Android). Same on my ThinkPads, they are real laptops and running Linux as well (Ubuntu). - Sorry can not compare this with Windows.-
To update the Android version from V 2.2 Froyo to Gingerbread V 2.3 is like an update from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. Usually some improvements, bug fixes and updates. Fine.
To change the ROM. Isn't like to change the distribution on the laptop ? For example to change from Ubuntu 10.04 to Linux Mint 11. Both are on the same basic. More or less the only difference is the look & feel. All applications are the same. And even Ubuntu you can make it look like Mint or vice versa. No really need to change the distribution.
Maybe this is the same with changing the ROM. The look & feel.
But what about
- boot time ? Really different with different ROM ?
- the speed ? Really different with different ROM ? But when ? To open Firefox for example ?
- the used RAM by the operation system ? Any differences ?

There is a quasi-official ROM. Actually, it IS Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 with some fixes to get it running on out Atrix. The fingerprint does not work because only Motorola ROMS have both the kernel drivers and the libraries to make it working. Fortunately, the Atrix Cyanogenmod team is working on this and eventually they will find a way to make it working.
In any case, I find that the stock rom and the stock radio still has the best battery life (in my case, still Froyo). Maybe not the best performances, but I am pretty sure about the battery life.
Update: CM7 Atrix team have the permissions to build their nightly releases on Cyanogenmod build server. I believe that they are getting fully recognized by Cyanogenmod. Therefore, I would say that they are pretty much official.
[Q] MESA Kernel 2.6 - headset not recognized & settings-->applications freezing
Hello,
i'm using CM10 Nighlties builds for my Xperia Active ST17.
I've tried with some success and really better performance the MESA JB Kernel from an0nym0us_. This kernel is wonderful, and i really thanks the developper for his work.
But on my device, i encounter two annoying bugs :
1st : when i connect m headset (a Phillips Fidelio M1) this one is note recognized with the latest version of the Kernel (2.6) and works perfectly with the old version i'm using (v2.4) (also report here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35989938&postcount=1432, but no solution ?!)
2nd : when i try to use the Applications Settings, to see the property of an installed application for example, i encounter serious freezing or FC. I tought it was my SD card ('cause i'm using a 64Gb µSD Card) but everything works great appart that. (also report here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35839687&postcount=1419 but no solution ?!)
Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong, if it's user errors or some bugs in the kernel ?
Thanks in adance.
Hello, I have a rooted xperia mini pro SK17i and I'm stuck to the CyanogenMod ROM 7.2.0 which seems to be the only one to work with my device.
I have written to you in the past to ask: "Why the wifi stops working if I try to install the cm-9.0.0, or 9.1.0-cm, or 10 cm-.........? ?? "
but no one has ever found a solution or the solution just did not work ...
I know from what I see in the forums that mine is a very common problem.
Now, years later, I ask again the same thing: "What should I do to install a more recent rom without losing the wifi?"
hello

wifi is defend by your kernel install.. try use another kernel like cm10 or cm11 and make full wipe n install your rom again.. or switch to another kernel and rom..
When I installed the cm-9.0.0 I used its kernel and I did the same with the 9.1 and the 10 ... did not work ..
But maybe I did not understand. You say, for example, if I install the 9.1 should I try Kernell of 10? Does it make sense?
Please........ :crying:
Does WiFi work on Stock ICS 0.587 firmware ?
I am ashamed but I do not know what it is ...
I'm no expert, I have not yet figured out a lot of things ... I'm still learning ...
I followed a guide to root my device and install the cyanogen rom.
If I look in the device info read:
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-FXP root @ ubuntu # 6
Android version: 2.3.7
This is all I know ...
Before roottare the phone I upgraded the original operating system of the phone and the wifi stopped working.
Precisely for this reason I decided to install the CyanogenMod ROM: to try to recover the wifi.
The cm 7.2.0 did it. The newer versions like 9, 9.1 did not work ....
My question is .... why??? it is obvious that it is not a hardware problem ...Because if it were so it would not work even with cm 7.2.0 ...
I'd like to update my device to the latest stable CyanogenMod rom for my device which is 9.1 ..
But I can not because the wifi stops working ... Heeeeelp!!

i think you ALLWAYS forget to flah the needed kernel. (& allways have this old GB kernel) so only wifi works with this.
you should make sure you following the install EXACTLY.
also cm 9.1 is old like hell. this is also no stable release. at least i wouldnt call it like that.
Look for LX (Legacy xperia) which provides cm10.1 , 10.1 (jb) & 11 (kitkat) this is far more stable. also many bugs fixed there.
cm 9(.1) is abdonned long time
First of all .. Thank you so much for your help.
Ok .. I'll try .. I'm just worried because in thr LegacyXperia site I see a lot of bugs in the Working / not working lists..

ok good luck this time all works incl. wifi (should work 100% if doing all right)
i think the best is to test a rom 1st so you can say how it fits your usage . just a few tips:
-use minimal gapps after flashing rom
-LX 10.1 has a release candidatefrom march this year its a pretty stable daily driver. dont use the 10.2 release theres nothing better..
-maybe also you can test cm11 if want, but keep in mind 19/3 is the last PMEM build which is based on old kernel, will probably deliver the stablest experience. IMO the latest release is also very good but this contains some bug like the ANDROID_OS wakeclock (need power on phone on charger to avoid this) & its still in development (so its more for dev users)
for the buglist:
CM10.1:
- maps flickering its true but fixed in CM11
- wifi gets drops sometimes .. but it work at all
- camera is not good quality/buggy bcuz of driver lacks (also no 720p video)
CM11:
- sometimes wifi a lil bit buggy but its minimal. works like a charm for me
- 720p video is working here
BOTH:
-sometimes bluetooth battery drain after using it (need reboot to fix) i not face this is issue when i send something to friend.... (works normal..)
- NO FM radio, HDMI port will not work (if you have one) & ANT+ (no drivers)
good luck for you
Yesterday I installed the CM11 and ... it works!!!!
The wifi works! :good:and I like the rom.:good::good: ... so ... thanks a lot bejunk!!!! thanks thanks a lot!!!!! You are a great!!

np bro im happy you have now good rom & working wifi
just 1 thing if you use the latest version (02/07) it has a bug that you get android os battery drain. you can solve this by:
-power off phone
-plug in into charger & wait till you see the battery logo
-power on . done
Thanks again! The only problems with this rom are:
- the phone takes a long time to boot. Almost two minutes ... every time ..
- When the device starts up many icons disappear and others are in different positions ... I do not know why ...
Is there a way to fix these problems? Maybe I did something wrong during the installation ...

There's a Q&A section for that ROM. Anyway, long boot time should be fixed in the upcoming release. The simplest way to fix disappearing icons problem is to install another launcher. Hope I've helped.

Review after 1day usage
1. with one day of my testing ive found it to be laggy..
2. apps crash frequently due to memory management i guess even after disabling notifications on lockscreen ..
3. Few apps on playstore show a message that ur phone is incompatible ,well fot that ive used other app markets like mobgenie..
4. There is no option to control backlight in rom ,ive installed l9 backlightmod by artas from playstore to swichoff softkey backlight..
5. Battery life seems to be ok...
6. Inbuild flashlight doesnt work but using third party app solves the problem..
7. Dialer app seems to be so laggy, its takes ages for call screen to appear after presssing dial(green button)..
8. Signal vanishes very frequently even in full coverage area might be some ril related issue..
9. No on screen buttons option ,hopefully complete Resurction menu will appear as it is still in beta..
Thanks @Rammar515 for this rom hope u will make this rom smoother and usable in ua next update
keep up the good work mate...
Cheers!!!

You can use TWRP by Artas. THe Rom is really good and stable, I am using it with no problem.
disable F2FS in artas182x recovery ?
For installing this ROM via artas182x TWRP recovery should i disable F2FS ? And resurrection remix rom update via ota or manual update?

U can install apps but not from play store. Download it do your SD card and install through File Manager.
recovery help
should i disable F2FS in artas TWRP recovery to install this rom..??
I drop using my Wave long ago, even tho in the meanwhile I used it to watch some spanish streaming tv with the tv output on a crt tv, but now I want to change its OS with a nice version of android, to have a backup of my main android phone (a Vodafone Smart Mini/875 with jellybean 4.1.1) that's actually giving me some troubles.
So now I'm a bit lost, I already found and read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...t-android-roms-samsung-wave-gt-s8500-t2842566 where there's some kind of a list of the actual custom portings, but not all states the android version, besides it seems to not include the 5.* lollipop versions.
What I want to install is a complete and hopefully stable version, it doesn't need to be lollipop/5.*, expecially if it doesn't give any benefit except to being the newest/up-to-date but it eats more ram memory (that with only 512 Mb is an issue, the 875 have the same amount and with jb eats up more or less 400Mb~), and I need (almost) every feature available on Bada being present on Android too (like: tv output, camera button, bluetooth, wifi, 2g/3g/3.5g data/voice/txt, etc.).
I'm just asking to point me (/suggesting) to the right direction (thread/release) to the best or better options available for me.
Thank you in advance!
Man , i will answer you but you better do what i say , cause it is the only truth
Badadroid project start with a couple of an amazing developers , those formed the porting team
the first ROM to be ported to wave was developed by Rebellos and Volk204
after that Volk204 took the project by himself
so:
Any ROMs by volk204 are worth using
Any other ROM you see are just kang/copie of his work by some amateurs , and are without actual support (not if Volk204 doesn't fix the problem himself )
I recommend you using OMni rom 4.4.4 by volk204 and flash RIL fix from this post
volk204 said:
RIL update 20.12.2014 https://yadi.sk/d/kvYUiq6QdWSdD
- SMS fixes
just flash it via TWRP

Omni Lollipop are not for daily use , major problem with it ; is the low free memory , apps will just close , you can't use (for me Endomondo + Music ) it will work to certain point ; than Android will kill one of the 2 apps
Fellow my Guide , it has most of the thing you need
The complete Optimization Guide for Omni Rom (4.4 and Lollipop)
And in earlier this year an another Recognized developer here on XDA "Alberto96" got an interest in developing ROM for wave1/wave2
he released a nice ROM , and now the links are dead , but he is BACK and he is working on his trademark ROM "GearCM" for our wave and from what i see in the his Github , it gonna be awesome
So :
Best ROM now (actual one ROM exist , it is not like i will tell something new ) [ROM][WIP][NAND] Omni 4.4 - 11.12.2014 By volk204 (don not install Gapps)
Best ROM ( Future release ) GearCM by alberto96 fellow his GIthub https://github.com/Alberto96?tab=activity
so what are the other ROMs released by Rebellos and Volk204:
it been like this since the very earlier day of Badadroid
Bugs fix go along with ROM updates , they didn't work on the same android version , every couple and there a major bug fix come with the Cyanogen source update
So anything less than Omni 4.4 (11.12.2014) has more bugs .
i must mention
Senior member Hero355 he did work on a promising ROM (Smartkat) by he got busy with life and let the project unfinished . But his Bada 2.0 Turko Rom is just Great
Senior member BenzoX he did work on Dual boot (Bada/android) and Dual android rom boot, he did work on nand and sd ROM (he is also got busy and let some things not fixed ) s
some people are using this unfinished Alpha projects , what do you expect from their ROMs :crying:
there is nothing else you need to know
Kind regards :angel:
So now. With Liondroid, Omni 6.0, GearCM and omni 4.4.4 which one can be considered for a daily use?
In my opinion, if GearCM had a better communication management it would be the best.
if you do not mind the theme in Russian, then take a look http://www.badapps.ru/6081-ledenec-ot-djkoloda-dlya-samsung-wave-8500-i-853008242015.html
Looks promising. At the moment I'm trying liondroid (very smooth but I need further tests) but I keep your link for later.
Maybe you could see with the creator to put his version on xda?
What should I do, if after installing some gapps (not the ones from here) the phone goes with a black screen after starting omni? it only shows the notification bar

Omni 4.4 by volk204, but I figured it out, wipe some data in recovery and I could reflash the ROM again and flash other gapps.. but now, I'm having trouble with the Google play services last update , it's laggy.. I'm trying to optimize the rom with the guide by @ice_ice where there's a section to put the Google play services like it wasn't never installed...but I'm cannot find the option WAKEUP with the 3C Tools app to disable it, I can't disable other services of Google play services becase the phone it's so slow that it shuts down after a while and I can't make it...
Do you think that the YouTube App and whatsapp will work fine if I uninstall the updates? I mean, That would be easier to make, because the updates are killing the ram... It's my dad's phone, so he just need whatsapp, something to check the Facebook (I installed the lite version), YouTube and Something to open Gmail (any reasonable lite app for Gmail?)
Dsebas91 , I use the 4.4.4 by djkoloda without installing, gapps .
All the apps I downloaded in *.apk files.
Recommend YouTube_v4.1.47.apk .
Gmail I checked by logging into account from a standard browser.
Sync contacts with Google through a program of CardDav-Sync.
