I am out of the atrix game but there is something that i came up with during some research about editing the build.prop file. This is in reguards to the problem with the Name display feature not working for rogers atrix users.
I have found a string that is in reference to CNAP (Caller Name Presentation). If someone with the name display wants to add this line to thier build.prop file and check it out. It might solve the problem....it also may not. I know its not specific to android in general as i had a captivate that name display worked perfectly on. So it has to be enabled somewhere within the software. Anyways, someone give it a shot and see what happens.
Code:
#1=enable, 0=disable
ro.ril.enable.cnap=1
Just tried on my Prepaid Fido and doesnt work
I am Bell Atrix
it could be no name display on Prepaid plan

You WILL have to have name display activated on your carrier...
I would try this but no way I'm calling those Rogers ass-hats to get name display re-enabled.
But I am curious to see if it works.

I would love to try this if I get some step by step guide on how to change the code...
Can someone please let me know and I will try it out this weekend... I have the same ****yass problem with Rogers... and those bastards would just say "Oh if the phone is not a Rogers phone, we are sorry but can't help you in anyways"...
I don't mind calling those guys if this fix potentially works. I would also like to try this for you but I'm not too familiar with editing the Build.prop file. If some basic instructions could be provided I would definitely try it out.

can't help you with build.prop but if you call rogers, get tech support and say "I need to disable the name display on my account" they should know what you're talking about. If not keep calling until you get someone who does. Maybe I got lucky the first guy I talked to knew exactly what I was getting at. no more payphone
Can someone help this guy please.
When I get my hands on an Atrix again I will try it.
Install root explorer, you must be rooted, navigate to /system/ mount rw, open build.prop. that's the simple way. You can aLao do this through adb if needed.
Stock Bell Atrix on Rogers with updated radio, Rooted, deodexed, Honeycomb theme, and frozen!

Can someone please check if this works.
Did not work for me. Changed build.prop via root explorer and rebooted.....still shows from payphone.

Did you call Rogers to enable name id back before you tested it?
Never disabled it, I've only had the phone for 4days. Guess I might have to now, although on the motorola support forums they say it may get fixed in a "future" update.....

@everyone
An update. We may be able to fix this on a future software update for Atrix. While I cannot guarantee that you'll see the Name display functionality on the Atrix when using Rogers/Fido you would hopefully be able to at least see the number of the caller so it would pull them from your phonebook. As I understand it, new people calling that aren't in your phone book may just come in as a phone number at that time.

I like to see tests tried twice before I say it works or doesn't.
And in this case it doesn't. I tried editing it via adb (used sed to insert the value in the prop file). Rebooted. Called, there was the ubiquidous Pay phone.

Is this problem only for AT&T Atrix unlocked for Rogers or the Bell on as well?
Anyone with a Bell Atrix on rogers can you try this.
I just attempted to insert the code as instructed using root explorer. restarted the phone and called from a friends phone and the caller id came up as 'pay phone'.
I am using a bell atrix, rooted and unlocked, on Fido monthly plan.
So this is the second time it happened it is really strange i just dropped my phone , it wasnt a hard drop nothing happened to the phone and the vibrate icon will always be on the TOP even if the volume is on full. The only way to get rid of the icon is go to sound and disable vibrations when calling basically set it to " NEVER"
any ideas on how to fix this? I dont want to flash another rom. Thank you guys

This is something that was implemented in the 2.3.5 firmwares, there are many ways to remove, the method you choose would depend on exactly which firmware you are using.
Either way, you should be able to find a fix over in the themes section
Can you point me in the right direction? I am not sure for which fix to look for. Thanks once again much apperciated.

Steps to enable multi-user ui-
Some variants of the G4 did not include multi-users out of the box. So to counter that I have put this little guide together for you.
To do this really all you have to do is add these two lines to the buildprop save and reboot.
You might need a build prop editing app or a different root browser. Root explorer is known not to save edits on the G4.
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=5
If you want to have the option in settings you'll need to add the two properties AND flash the attached zip..
The zip below is currently for Tmo only. If you want this option on another variant, I'll need your framework-res and lge-res apks.
Uhm, I wonder whats wrong, but on my H815 I have the multiuser when I pull down the statusbar and tap on the mu icon on the top right. Works normal like it should on lollipop.
Seems the G4 has this as default and doesn't need any changing. But what I found is, that only 2 users are allowed. Thats something, we need to change when root is here.
MOD EDIT: Dropbox image links don't work.

Yea, I was going to rpely and say that. Also from memory, there's options for it in the Settings. I sent mine back due to screen issues, so I don't have it in front of me.
But OP you don;t need any hacks to get it working. it works out of the box.

For the H811 it does not come enabled.
It's disabled on/by Verizon too.
Sorry than, seems we have a real interesting story about the G4 so far that every version has its own set of features enabled or disabled. The H815 o2 Germany carrier and some other H815 variants seems to have the MU function enabled by default for 2 users. Wonder if there is a G4 with more than 2 users enabled. And if the carriers can disable it too, well, funny -.-

Haven't really played with it on the G3 yet(Tmo left it off on LP update too), but it only showed two users as well from what I remember. Even though it says max 5 it might only allow for two on Lg.. I did notice on my Gpad that it has different user settings than on my G3. This might be because Lg's 5.0.1(G3) lollipop is a lot different than their 5.0.2(Gpad) and 5.1.1 (G4)
Edit: On the G3 it lets me set up 5 users..
Giving this a bump now that I can confirm it working in my 811!
I'm also on Tmo's G4 and it is disabled. I'm going to root today, when I get off work, to enable it.

OK, I'm feeling like an idiot! I've edited build prop in the past with Root Explorer but for some reason I can't add these lines! I can delete things/change things but not add anything, what I'm doing wrong?

You'll need a build prop editor app or another root file manager like solid..
Any particular place that I need to add those lines? I added them at the end and bootlooped.

When you made this edit did the Advanced Calling options go away in settings?
It's doing that on custom ROM oddly.
But you can still turn off Video Calling in call/settings, but can't get turn AC off completely unless you backtrack the MOD. Was a PITA tracking down what was taking AC away from settings menu and turns out to be this one single edit lol

AC = auto call? I can still turn it off and on without it crashing, but haven't tested if it actually disables if I uncheck it.
Flying home tonight. So I'll check then.

AC = Advanced Calling, sorry.
I think misunderstood my question.
So with customs ROMs I have ran into an issue where I lost the Advanced Calling and Tethering options in Settings menu (see attached screenshot). I finally after way too many hours, tracked the problem down to this one MOD (I had to find if it was from an app I was editing, then down to edits in the system, finally found it was in the customize folder and then in ACC/default.xml and even in there took forever as I had many changes). As soon as I make the edit and reboot they are gone, make edit back to stock and they show.
Everything still works fine - in regards to Advanced Calling, HD Calling and Wi-Fi Calling but those settings menu options just aren't there to turn on and off. I can get to an option to turn off Video Calling (see 2nd attached screenshot) which then leaves it into HD Calling state.
What I do as a workaround is keep a default.xml.bak with this MOD removed if I ever need to get into the options for w.e reason and they are only a reboot away.
Not the biggest problem, but very strange indeed. I made the same edit on M8, but M9 as well and never ran into this issue.
I was wondering if you had this issue as well after doing this MOD.

No problem my friend, I appreciate your feedback.
I couldn't figure out why it was missing and tracked it down to this one edit. Very weird. You should try setting it back to 2 value and reboot and see if Advanced Calling comes back.

Thanks for the directions on this @andybones - Verizon's constant wifi notification nag drives me nuts.
Just applied this to @santod040's Nougat stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-1-85-605-9-aroma-root-root-debloat-t3529732) and it appears to continue to behave as you expect: lost the Advanced Calling and Wifi Tethering options out of the Settings menu. I can still get at the tethering via the sub-menu 'Mobile network sharing' as well as the quick settings pane so good to go. Too bad this even has to be a thing. #&$*#&$ Verizon

Very welcome. I know of another method to remove the WiFi Nag and still keep the Menus correctly in Settings. It's actually a method that we used on the M8 if I recall correctly. The current method posted here was what we used on the M9, and strangely had no affect to Settings Menu, even though the M9 also has Advanced Calling. I remember testing this method out a little bit ago on the 10, and all was fine. However to be sure, I am posting a .zip with the edited .apk and a .zip with stock, to go back to stock, and also if anyone wants to see what was done. Simple edits of removing 10 .png images.

Thanks, will give this a shot next time I'm digging around in the guts of this thing. Much appreciated.
So I just found the Pixel XL dialer on youtube and it looks awesome, and I also saw the Nexus Visual Voice Mail and thought wow, that's awesome too.. So I tried to copy the Nexus vvm over to my system/priv-app folder, and modify the permissions to 775, but Root Browser won't let me change permissions and if I try to use Root Explorer it just shows a blank screen when I open the app (not sure if it's Nougat friendly yet), so I'm just curious if any of you guys have done this kinda stuff, and if so how did you manage to have success at it..?? I figured if it's the same DPI range, same OS, and files are even named the same, it should work right..?
Thanks!
EDIT: So upon researching this some, it appears that LG uses a "LGContact" file in system/priv-app's and not a dialer.apk, so I don't know how to go about adding in say, the Pixel XL dialer.. Hmm, oh well just figured it'd be a cool thing to try but at this point I'm thinking it'd probably screw something up if I tried it.. I'm still interested in hearing from those who have done this if you care to chime in..

I use an older version of Google Dialer without a problem. I had to sideload it but everything works fine except for voicemail - messages won't appear. The version number is 2.05.07_rc4. Google added a patch after that version that won't allow it to work on other phones. After installing it, you just select it as the default app for phone calls and it handles both incoming and outgoing calls. I'm not rooted and didn't have to change any permissions to get it working.
