I've been a Droid 2 owner for over a month and I love the squidlymandingo rom but I find it really hard to locate any compatible themes for it. I know there are more people like myself who would like to see more themes for this rom or atleast some links to some working themes. I hope some talented d2 themers see this thread and help contribute some themes to a perfect rom.
I know its a very popular rom that is very smooth and there are options for blurry or blurless rom and its got the best quadrant score (2500 was my lowest running stock Squidly 2.3.20.2 with oc at 1.2) out of all the roms i've tried for the d2.
Just need some themes for it so can anyone please help us Squidly users out on the theme tip?
I just posted a poll on some themes we would like to see ported for it here
suggestion: since you have noticed the need/want for themes for the rom and an apparent lack of a supply, why wouldn't you jump on it and become somewhat of a hero amongst the squidly community? trust me, theming isnt hard (even i figured it out lol)

i've been trying to follow the instructions for porting over themes to this very beastly squidly rom but haven't any luck minus a port of a old revolution remix but didn't like how some of the stuff didn't theme over correctly and i lost the verizon wireless indication in the drop down and when i tried to port the WatermarkD it completely jacked my phone so i'm going to leave this to the pros i just hope someone shows us some theme love cause i'm not going anywhere romwise and i am sure most of the users feel this way but we just need some theme options that are designed for the rom.
The quadrant score didn't mean crap all squidly did was run openfront or opensource or whatever that improves AAC encoding which is one aspect of quadrant, but it messes around with audio streaming. This "massive" quadrant score doesn't really mean any better day to day performance.
regardless of the quadrant score its still a very popular rom and there are many that would love some themes for the rom. i like the rom cause its smooth and i can choose to keep some aspects if motoblur or remove it completely but honestly like a few of them so its a good rom for me just lacks themes.
Squidly enabled stagefright in the build.prop which is why it gets high quadrant scores. Squidly is awesome and I would love to see some themes for it.

I recently began working on theming. I will make this my first project. Gimme a few days to get everything out.
Well... a lot of AOSP themes will work for other AOSP roms, like a bunch of fission themes work fine on gummyjar or liberty.
Sometimes they screw up a few features but since they don't do any huge modifications themes often will work for similar roms.

Hello,
I have a few questions and I really need your help
I am in love with all Motorola phones with BLUR, like the DEFY, Milestone 2, Droid X...
And I searched like crazy for a Blur-like launcher. I found HElauncher which is a new launcher in the market and it is amazing (you can select the dock style you want)...
But it doen't feel the same and landscape mode doesn't work
But what I really like of BLUR is the widgets and toggle widgets from it. My question is...
Is there any way to port the BLUR launcher and widgets? Is there any launcher or widgets that look like Blur?
That's the only thing I don't like of this phone. Its launcher is not good at all and there are no cool widgets like in Blur. The korean froyo has some pretty calendar and contact widgets which are scrollable, but I would really love blur.
Please help me
Thanks in advance...
112 views and no one knows?
I NEED blur, please
that's probably because people might have no access to it yet, or according to people that have moto phones with build in Blur it runs really really slow, and they want to get rid of it to use stock Android
Dexter told me he could do it when he gets the phone
He has done an AMAZING Blur rom for the Milestone, which works almost 100% good.

Indeed. Well actually, Blur runs great on phone with good memory, but with approx 80 MB RAM on the XT720, it would be really slow. Unless the rom would be downsized like for example Cynanogen or Oxygen, but that would require a custom kernel and that is not possible atm.
blur for the xt720
I am 99% sure if you go to the developement section there is a patch to install blur on the xt720, developed by dexter.
I havent tried it but I have heard that it makes the phone slow and kills the battery

That's not true. The phone isn't slow and battery life isn't worse then on normal 2.2.1 and 2.1 on the XT720
In fact, it makes some things faster... 2.2.1 gives you JIT = massive speedup on stuff. Just look at quadrant 2.1 versus 2.2.1 XT720.
You idle at higher RAM usage with 2.2.1 though.
this question is useless now that we got a blur rom, lol.
But sadly I may be selling the phone to buy a DEFY :/
Which Rom for atrix gives more performance boost? (ive been lookingin aria, alien or CM) can suggest one of yours too. Im looking it for games..
Just from my own readings I believe that the CM7 pre-beta guys have gotten the highest quadrant scores. there is the slight thing with the camera though. I use alien myself and haven't had any problems but i'm mostly doing gensoid gaming. I haven't tried aura yet but it does look good. not sure if this helps you
Thanks it does help, i seen the screenshot it got 4000 on quadrant i run quadrant on my overweighted atrix (lots and lots of apps) i got around 1500, so i think it will give a boost =) maybe ill stick with the stock rom till CM comes stable.
Do your alien run better than stock? how much better?

using CM7, the stock camera doesn't work too well, but you can get around that by using a few third party apps from the market.
the fingerprint sensor doesn't work (which really sucks, because that was a major selling point of the phone for me) but i'm just dealing with that.
i've been averaging between 3700-4000 quadrant scores, and pretty much loving everything about CM7. i wasn't too big of a fan of all that motoblur stuff, so it's pretty awesome to get rid of it all.
it's definitely ready for a daily driver, for me at least, as long as you're willing to sacrifice the fingerprint scanner, and use crappy workarounds for the camera.
But fixes are on the way right? to get around those issues? i just want to have a smooth browser scrolling =( hope CM gives that.

I like it a lot more than stock. It's fully deodexed so all of the themes that people put together can be flashed over that rom. I'm a huge fan of CM7 on my nook color but I am waiting patiently for the camera and fingerprint scanner to be fixed when they can get to it. I have a company policy for exchange mail that requires a password and it's way easier to swipe and be in than to enter a password everytime.
yeah, but im seeying all this on the perfomance side cyanogen looks awesome so ill keep the stock then jump to cyanogen when its fully compatible, and then the ultimate android Ice cream sandwich come, hopefully with hardware acceleration then it will crush all iphones Muhahaha
I'm using Aura 1.1.3 Debloat #7 and it seems to be very fast. I use SetCPU and have it underclock the processor to 216 MHz when the screen is off. On the other roms, the phone would hiccup for a while before coming to full speed when I turned the screen on. On this Aura rom, I can barely notice a slowdown in the first half second and it goes straight to full power then. I believe it's because this rom is only 150 MB, as opposed to others like CherryBlur, which is 560 MB.
Every ROM has it's points.... I look at the list of whats included: My biggest thing is tethering but I was able to do it on every ROM so it really depends on what you're going to add to it. If you have a ton of apps, something that is debloated/deblurred is probably best but not important. Quadrant scores don't seem like they are entirely trustworthy enough to make one a winner over the other. CM7 isn't gingerbread so I wouldn't include that one right now in the mix. They all are stable though. I like Aura/Darkside and Alien. Ninja is still a favorite of mine as well. I don't use the camera much so D3 or stoc doesn't make a difference to me but you might have a preference. I'm not a Star Wars fan but I tride that one and it was smooth....I liked the Darth Vader breathing when the SD cards mounted LOL. I use ADW for a launcher beause it gives me the choice of several themes and 5 icons on the dock.
Now that CM7 is stable, what do you prefer to use between these roms?
I'm using Crysis' work because of its fantastic looks, but everyone is cheering for the CM.
Whats the pros and the cons for each rom? And for the MIUI, whats so special about it?
I'm not negative towards any rom and respect each developer but trying to see the difference more clearly.

i tested both 3 rom and i prefer miui.
crysis's sensation : good looking touchwiz rom .. but that's all
cm7 : pure google experience with performance. now stable , with more customization. have many themes out there to be flash.
miui : for me , this is the best rom if you find a "good-looking" rom. it have many theme to be download , customize (with your own style) , lock screen , and it's stable too. miui is easier to download theme because no need to be flash , just download and change .. it also have various lockscreens , you named it.
i suggest you test all the rom , your own experience is better than my suggestion.
You're comparing 3 totally different roms, and i do mean totally different.
I haven't tried the sensation rom but just looking at its thread it looks extremely good for a samsung rom, cm7 on the other hand is pretty plain looking but can be polished up, while miui on the other hands puts every rom to shame in the looks department... however its the slowest of all the roms.
And im not talking about in benchmarks, im talking about responsiveness especially when launching apps. I've been using miui for months now and simply hate that its so laggy when launching apps. Sometimes i have to wait 1 second after i tap it for it to actually start, i've gotten tired of the lag so i switched to cm7... every app launches instantly no matter what.
You really have to try them all because they're all so different, just do a cwm backup incase you don't like the rom so you can switch back with no fuss.

Totally agree and just one point from me.Take care of the kernel you are using when flashing between those roms.I think siyah is compatible with the 3 of them

So for one who isn't interested in optimizing and adding stuff all the time, which one is more stable or easy to go at?
And how about battery life, which has the longest?
I'd rather not have to try out all 10 ROMs. Your 2 cents?
Also, they all seem to be from July-era...?
well they allll have there own lil
niggels but it kinda depends on what
your going to use the atrix for
if you need webtop or webtop over hdmi
try 4.5.5 from darkside he also has cool
themes alienv4 is a trusty standby of mine also for that "use"
if ya dont like gameing on the bigscreen
and just want pure speed use a debloted
rom some still have webtop all cm7 ones
dont
want a stable cm7
use the ba2f...stable cm7 rom
i personally liked neutreno g+ cm7 weekly based i also tested it as it was being build so i makes me smile
how well it turned out and Notourioust544 did a fantastic job on it to..:thumbup:
For gameing in landscape mode and
the ability to use webtop
i gotto give props to Nottach
and his darkside series of roms
IMO; but ive tried almost all of them too.
:sly:

Thanks I'll take a look at those. I just saw wetdream was released this morning. I'll give it a shot since it sounds like Nottach is pretty seasoned now after his work on darkside.
instead of creating another thread,
can anyone comment on the voltages required for a given frequency on these Tegra2 chips?
I just came from an OGDroid, on those the process variation between the OMAP3430's was next to nil...most ROMs worked at a certain vsel and so the community standardized around those.
For these Tegras it seems to require a bit more user involvement.
So the question, I'm running Clemsyn's elite 1.0ghz, should I bother tampering with the vsels? It looks like on most of these rom's it's about 1mv / 1mhz. IE 1000mhz and 1000mv.
what would be the best rom to go to for my atrix?
It really depends on your daily usage and user style. I can tell you that you have 3 options:
2.3.4/2.3.6 Blur Based roms: Roms based on official motorola roms. They are very stable and have all the stuff working. Including Webtop. When i want a Blurred rom, i go with Nottachtrix 4G. Pretty sick and stable rom. Only complain so far is battery life. Blur roms tend to be a little laggy because they have lots of motorola stuff and they make the phone laggy.
CM7: Based on GB. Lots of good stuff and great customization. Great battery life. They have almost all the features working. Only problem with them is that they currently doesn't support webtop.
CM9: Based on ICS. Right now they are on beta stage so they have some bugs still that need to be worked on. We have no drivers for our processor, so the devs are having a hard time coding everything right now, and the deving is a little slow. Currently we have two CM9 roms Jokersax's and Turl1's. They are co-deving so the builds are pretty similar.
Thats about everything we have on the Atrix right now. You better.test them all and decide by yourself.

I am running the cm7 rom right now after trying a couple of them and it is by far the best one I have used. Battery life is great and it realllllly fast. I also have the faux123 1.45 oc kernel. And altogether I have not found anything that works better for me personally.

Nobody can tell you what the best ROM to use is.... Everyone looks for different things in their ROMs... Some like MIUI (which i dont get, if you want your device to look like an iPhone, then buy an iPhone....) Some like CM7, some like stock based.... you'll have to just play aroud with some ROMs and decide whats best for you.
