[Q] Recommend a rom - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Android on Touch Pro?

Anyone got the official android os on their Touch Pro yet? I'm getting it on the 2nd and i want to port android to it immediately once i get home from the sprint store.
(by official i mean from the source code released yesterday 10/21)
I don't think it's that easy
Let us know if it worked.
I'm just wondering if anyone has done it yet, or if anyone has started, etc. I don't pretend to have sufficient knowledge to even try, so i was looking to others for help...

2nd, search before you post, there's no reason to clutter the forum with redundant redundancy of a redundant nature.
1) the wiki has like 2 pictures of a Haret bootup of the sdk rip of android, i was wondering about the g1 version android
2) Same as the above (sdk version vs. g1 version) last time i checked.
It's not like i didn't search, if anything i misunderstood some threads

Android on Touch Pro
That would be an interesting ROM. The Dream has similar spec as Raphael, and they are within half a year of each other, so it would be quite possible to run Android on Raphael. I would like to try it, once Android gets better established and I get sick and tired of WM.
Longhorn android
has anyone tried androkkid on the longhorn rom of windows mobile 6.5? Mines mad slow
what a shame to answer users like this such a pity for you man you make me sick Black93300ZX and what are you going to say about my nickname now? Eh ?!
i would like the happenings app from android or moto cliq

hd2 leo TOUCH SCREEN ISSUES HELP PLZ!

So I've upgraded to an android phone (Samsung Galaxy S Captivate) but my buddy brought me his HD2 which is having a weird problem. The touch screen works just fine until it locks. Once you're at the lock screen with the little slide to unlock part it is completely unresponsive! Because I've been flashing / hacking roms on WM since 5.0. I've put the newest hardspl on the device and now i'm getting ready to flash a new ROM to it hoping it is a software bug. Any advice for me? I've searched but didn't really find what I was looking for.
Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
More to add... Man this phone is fast! Crap. Umm the touch screen seems to work most of the time except for the lock screen. By the time I post this I bet the dumb phone will be done installing the new ROM and everything will be peachy (I'm not holding my breath) I broke so many of these windows mobile phones over my years (physical breakage never bricked)
OK so I just put the new ROM on there and everything touch-related works EXCEPT for the lock screen! ARGGGGGG.

[THEME][Preview] Nookie Froyo Theme

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.

Jittery or flickering screen - hard or software issue?

Hello, I have a European RAZR Maxx with ICS, not rooted and not anything. A factory reset was done right after the OTA update a few weeks ago. Yesterday, as I was reading some news, the screen started to jitter, flickering horizontally about 5 mm. The phone was still functional, screen was responsive but it was jittery in a very upsetting way. I did a soft reset and it did not help, then I switched it off for an hour and the problem went away. It has not come back since but I am very worried. Should I send it to service? Or was it just some soft issue? I hadn't installed any app immediately before it started to happen. I appreciate anyone's opinion. Thanks!

my xt908 did this today, is yours rooted? I'm trying to figure out why also. iI think it may happen when blue tooth is on
It's not rooted. In the meantime, I think I realized it only does that when I use flipboard. I un installed it and the problem went away.

If you uninstall a program and things work ok, then its not your phone. Relax. =p
Sometimes the atualization of software bring bugs and then we tend to think its our phone. =/

This is most likely due to glitches in hardware acceleration. It is so common that some apps have an option to disable use of hardware acceleration.
Out of curiosity, what is the exact version of your firmware? MIUI, which is based on an early ICS release, displays this behavior quite frequently, whereas it doesn't show up on the final ICS release of stock firmware.
That's good to know, thanks!

smootheststable cdma rom

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.
