New features in CM 7.2.0-RC0 - Atrix 4G General

Actually, I'm gonna post new features to CM 7.2.0-RC0 that I find most useful/interesting (link)
1.Audio route through dock
I remember reading about a few people who were quite sad that CM7 did not have the ability to route audio through usb when docked as they used the car dock for the atrix and complained it was quite inconvenient to use the headphone jack.
Guess what?
Read here, here and here!
2.Quicker Camcorder Launch
Reduces the launch time of the camcorder application. (link)
3.Updated time zone info
Useful if your country abandoned DST this year (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9678)
4.Control Music via gestures on lockscreen
Able to gestures to switch to next/previous songs, or to play/pause songs. here and here.
5.Previous screen fix
Fixes the bug that, locking the screen (via Power Button), and then quickly unlocking (via Power Button) will show the whatever was previously displayed on the screen, was reported here.
(link)
6.Camcorder: Focus before recording
Camera focus before taking a video, for phones without CAF, like all tegra phones! Grrr
(link)
Any one you find particularly helpful?

I'd feel kinda shameful and will sound very unappreciative, but I have a feeling that these are "heh,,, not bad" kind of features... Nothing "wow!"
But I very much appreciate CM's work ... Already donated and will donate a lot more once the fingerprint scanner works

Just looked it up, turns out that the phone has a tendency to crash and not have the ability to make calls. I'll hold off for now

Been running stable for since release. Loving it honestly, stock kernel.
Edit; those running nightly build are probably & having crash issues are probably running the 1.45ghz kernel. I, however I used to, don't like sacrificing stability and battery life on an already bottlenecked phone.

Same here, I'm sitting on my hands waiting for a STABLE CM7 w FP. As soon as that hits my donation is as good as sent! Until then it just kinda feels like "here's something like a CMwFP build now stop talking about it" lol. It's amazing to me the pissed off reaction people give to posts vaguely mentioning FP in CM, just like I'm sure this post will be ridiculed. Oh well, when it happens I will be the first donator, I already have the $$ set aside waiting for it to be truly integrated.

Wired... I was on Ba2TF and flashed the FP version and couldn't be happier. I haven't had a single problem, even using DataDefender for apps. I have had no problems with making or receiving calls, getting into my phone or anything... It is a pretty stable build. However, I did do a nandroid of my Ba2TF just in case, but I am truyly happy with the FP build. Hope that helps.

FP build is working great for me also. No issues whatsoever!

I am running the Fingerprint build myself. I have been using it faithfully for a number of days now... 51 hours actually according to my "uptime". I am not a "power" user, but I am sim unlocked and play n64oid, and use my phone as an XBMC remote. Everything works for me. No calling issues so far. I did a factory reset, wiped dalvic after instal etc. Fingerprint works fine for me.

I've been running the FP version since the first hours of its release and have not had any issues with it at all so far. No problems with incoming/outgoing calls.

There should be no crashing in the FP build due to fp. It may perhaps be due to the overclocked kernel. We resolved the call issues with fp before we released. If you find any more please let us know.

He's basing the claim on what he's read from the wiki. If he took the time to test it (providing he backed up ofcourse ) then he would know that it works perfectly.

stock has landscape HDMI mirroring, CM7 has AOSP goodness and now fingerprint scanner...
such a hard decision, i pretty much switch back and forth every few days >.<

Could some please tell me if the scrolling in menus and application drawer (in Go Launcher or ADW in vertical mode) is smoother then on stock?

I've been using the stable plus FP for a week now and no problems but an wondering if anyone has figures put a way to her music controls and fp to work together ? If so I must be overlooking a setting and would appreciate the tip on how to do so.

Okay okay you talk me into it. I was not planning on beta testing it I wanted to wait for "the stable release" but you talked me into it. Still looking forward to its inclusion in the next Ba(3?)tF.. I will report back for its working for me a little later.. Time to get to downloading and do backups and such..

The FP is also included in yesterday's weekly release. I believe this weekly also includes the kernel changes faux was mentioning in his thread. I flashed it last night and I can defintely see a difference. Much snappier performance all around. And the added scroll feature with FP is very nice.

CM7 THUNDERKANG - "I love the smell of KANG in the morning" Edition - IN CALL AUDIO!
Same as the second release from slayher and the gang, except this bad boy has in call audio fixed
Update: Oh wait i forgot i also edited gps a little....dunno what the side effects are but gps is working on my end so all seems well.
Important update: you dont have to flash anything before this, its fully independant.
Enjoy!

Note: I am not responsible for anything you do.
Note: Slayher and toastcf did most of the work, i just got tired waiting for source.
Note: Full credit also goes to the random woman who called me and i couldnt understand you and got frustrated enough to fix this. thanks lady
Edit: if your talking to someone on a non-fixed rom, the feedback is most likely still half as nasty.
ADVANCED USERS:
You might be able to improve your sound further by editing the following settings in build.prop:
htc.audio.alt.enable=
htc.audio.hac.enable=
1 = enabled 0 = disabled
let me know if you do play with this and find any improvements.

Haven't made a call yet. Installing over top of my v2 now. Thanks for the fix
just made a call and it sounds much better!
GPS seems to lock and work in Google Maps. GPS Status/Tools (from the market) confirms locks.
Confirmed here.

great great job here we finally got CM7 folks

I just want to see how everyone feels about the official update. My niece has my old epic rooted with a ec05 rom. I just want to see if I should get her to update.
So whats your thoughts, first impressions, battery life and all.

Well here's my two cents...gps lock is not fixed...root is currently impossible to retain with the stock kernel. You need some kind of modified kernel to keep root. Keyboard lag is still present unless your rooted and install a fix.
These above listed items do have remedies, however they require a custom rom or multiple patches to fix.
That being said...if you always run stock there are no additional negatives. Gingerbread is much faster,smoother and cleaner imo. Take it from there.
Here's a link to all the advancements thus far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19155759

I think both of these statements are wrong based on my experience.
I have root and have no modified kernel. I think you can keep root without a fix, what you can't keep is a custom recovery program (like CWM).
I have had no keyboard lag so far. If it is there, it is definitely MUCH better than the previous version.

It is not incorrect...just incomplete...I think its foolish to have root without a good means of nandroid backup and custom recovery.

I have backup with Mybackup and Titanium, so I am more than happy with my backup options. ROOT itself is very important to me (and a lot of other people), so given the option I would rather have root and no custom recovery program, as opposed to a custom recovery program and no root.
A very important distinction to make.

No, just unnerving that they'd have such a forceful recovery program. Samsung has been sneaking little locks in things lately. Odin can break them but it's frustrating that they've gone down this road.

ah gotcha.
there really is no point in staying on froyo ec05 now. the only thing i could think of that would keep me on it would be SRF1.2 but since you didnt mention she had that i would say just update it for her. Things are quicker, snappier. The OS is built to be more stable and just all around better for the phone than the froyo version was.

Keyboard works so damn well!! Seriously its never worked this well for me. I'm running the deodexed build with nubernel so I dunno if there are any key lag hack built in or not.
Cd's or tapes?
My main beef with my phone has been fixed with this update. Music playback was annoying. Didn't matter if it was stock player or PowerAmp, I would get a weird hiccup at about 3 seconds into every song. On top of that, I could hear some electrical crackling when doing certain things while listening to music, especially while using wired tether. Gingerbread has eliminated it and music playback has been flawless for me all day so far. Not even a little click when the screen goes on/off anymore.
No doubt this phone still needs to be rooted with some patches just to make it useable. I'm disappointed samsprint took this long and still left so many of the original issues that shipped with the phone on eclair.
Basically it has the exact same widgets and touchwiz as always but with the underlying os updated to gingerbread.
I was hoping we would get the sgs 2 version of tw with the new widgets, and see the keyboard, and gps working out of the box.
Also the browser is pissing me off. It removed the zoom buttons and double tap isn't zooming in anymore...?
Its not all bad. With the gps fix (flashed in cwm) I'm getting better gps locks than ever before on this phone. Also the system as a whole is a bit faster. Unfortunately you will still make tradeoffs by updating.
Edits:
Tap to zoom works on non-mobile websites in the browser. Using my /data hack I was able to change default text size also.
Notification LED does in fact appear to be fixed...but there is a very long time between blinks (something like 20 seconds), would be much happier with a 2 sec blink. It is so slow, I thought it was not working.

CLOSED TEST - (no longer Looking) for Beta Testers with ICS Experience - BETA CLOSED!

I am closing the beta for the time being, have a handful of testers atm. It may open up again, stay tuned.
You know the name of the game. Experienced ICS users only please.
I have been putting together a frankenstein type ICS build, blending some tweaks with:
-Beta 2.5.1 i9000
-Beta2 by goodoane
-ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip by onecosmic
-Recommended using the FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip from here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount (the kernel is included in the zip)
-Also recommend the KB5 modem, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19795419&postcount=130 (this is also included in the zip, but its not flashing with the rom as of right now)
This has some framework, build.pop, and ui tweaks applied, but I've pulled back on the theming to direct my attentions to functionality.
-Keymapping is corrected
-Can mount via MTP mode
-Moutning works in recovery
-ADB and Shell both work
-SU out of the box
-Lockscreen rotates and screen rotates 360 degrees
Not working:
Must toggle mute (on then off) in order to be heard by incoming callers
GPS
Video Recording
Video Playback (buggy)
You tell me what else to add here.
Installation: (coming from another ICS build, or CM7 only!!)
-Reboot to recovery, perform a factory reset
-Go to mounts and storage and format system
-Flash the Beta2 Kernel (FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip)
-Flash the rom
-Flash your modem (no longer need to reflash the kernel)
-Fix permissions
-Reboot the phone
New Info
As you guys have read, I have been running the data data tweak from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20017090&postcount=1756 and it seems to have made things a lot more stable. No odd application issues going on anymore, although there is a bit more lag, but I think I have found a temp fix for that.
Since Friday night I have been running AutoKill Memory Optimizer, free version from the market. Its not a task killer really, but it maintains the amount of free system memory on your device, from what I understand. I am using Aggressive settings, with the Advanced settings for Memory and Battery enabled, and my phone is flying!
If you guys want, give that a shot, and let me know your results.
*******************************
So, who wants to test?
First, you promise not to release this or share it with anyone, by signing up you agree to this one term.
You should have experience with ICS, and know how to flash it and recover from a bad flash.
If you've never flashed ICS before, you definitely want to start there.
I am looking to possibly release this to the wild by the end of the week, so active testers are a big plus!
When I feel like I have enough testerss I will post that on the top of this post, just ask in here, and I will pm you a link.
I'll test, running ICS now.. I know how to do a little above basic stuff.

can you fix the problem with (i guess all ICS) people not hearing me right?
sometimes they hear me ok, sometimes too loud, or not at all.
i''ve tried to hold and resume but it doesn't fix the issue every time.
this should be a top priority for any rom.
i returned to your zen froyo. it is nice and battery holds 4-5 days for me.
thank you.

Toggling mute fixes it for me every time. I do plan on looking into that, but I'm not there quite yet.
So, no new takers?
I'll test it out... I've been on the i9000 ICS ROM for about 2 weeks now.

Ok, I'll Bite. Have experience with everything you stated above. Am currently using the Passion V5 Beta and a lot to like but still a work in progress. Let me know if I can help.
Been running it for about 30 mins, nothing to report so far. Not a big fan of the green theme though, but I will still continue to test.

What rom were you coming from? This should run with both bootloaders, but I'm on the stock bootloaders, so that might be it. Also, you should be coming from either CM7 or another ICS rom.
Maybe try redownloading the file and reflashing.

I would be glad to help with testing with one caveat. I need either USB tethering or wifi hotspot to be working. I use that quite frequently and would not be able to keep the ROM installed without it.

ICS....not yet worth using :(

Hi all,
I know everyone is working really hard on the ICS source for the S2 but from what I've experienced so far its not worth moving on from 2.3.6. I know this is all testing/dev work and things aren't going to run to smoothly but I dont seem to be able to get a stable ROM that works for all the below, at least one of them doesnt work or crashes all the time (I seem to find I'm CWM backup'ing/restoring and titanium apps all the time and restoring ROMS instead of using the phone lol):
- USB utilities - crashes when trying to use it
- GPS doesnt work to well - even with the agps patch applied
- MMS/3G signal doesnt work
- Nova launcher on most crash
- Messaging stops working from the dock - so you have to clear the data to re apply launcher settings
- some other stuff I cant think of right now
If I can put a tick in the box for all of the above I would be a happy man til then I'm sticking to 2.3.6 ROM's (Not moaning, just thought I would put it out there and see what everyone elses thoughts are) :-D

Just realized what i said...Anyway so many threads out there already regarding ICS just post in there regarding making a new thread. You only get people coming down your thread just cause you opened a new thread on a topic that is already kinda getting boring with all the crap everyday you read on here and people opening so many threads when you could just post in the ones that are already created..
thats what you get when you use a beta version. post the same in existing threads, and do read before posting another thread.
I was actually not going for.ics myself due to what I was reading... but couldn't resist anymore and have been on Darkys (Ficeto) LPB for 2 days now... I'm actually quite happy and surprised by the performance and ESP battery life... probably not.going to switch back to the bread...!

I agree. I have been trying about 5 versions of custom roms with ICS which all users would say are very good but I was very disappointed in performance, and sometimes it would freeze.
ICS.....not yet released!
Be patient now.
U guys need to do a full wipe even if the ROM says no wipe. Otherwise you will definitely get issues. I was having some before I did a full wipe. After the Wipe did a fresh install of a Custom ROM and now its awesome. Definitely can't go back to GB now

Hi all,
I know everyone is working really hard on the ICS source for the S2 but from what I've experienced so far its not worth moving on from 2.3.6. I know this is all testing/dev work and things aren't going to run to smoothly but I dont seem to be able to get a stable ROM that works for all the below, at least one of them doesnt work or crashes all the time (I seem to find I'm CWM backup'ing/restoring and titanium apps all the time and restoring ROMS instead of using the phone lol):
- USB utilities - crashes when trying to use it
- GPS doesnt work to well - even with the agps patch applied
- MMS/3G signal doesnt work
- Nova launcher on most crash
- Messaging stops working from the dock - so you have to clear the data to re apply launcher settings
- some other stuff I cant think of right now
If I can put a tick in the box for all of the above I would be a happy man til then I'm sticking to 2.3.6 ROM's (Not moaning, just thought I would put it out there and see what everyone elses thoughts are) :-D

No offense.
But it's still in development. "not done"
In due time it will be sorted.
But threads like these will not speed up development.
So please have some respect for those who put in effort.
If only this forum allows cursing...

maybe something wrong with you.
I'm using latest ICS leak and everything works and hasn't crashed/FC. Nova launcher works perfect too.

A huge squadron of super-developers are rushing your way, sir. Their mission is to make ICS work for you... TODAY. Your words are praised, and wishes are their commands, to fulfill your every need. Please, stay put, and wait for them with cookies and milk.
I agree, don't think I will use it till either samsung release it, or sammobile release a proper rom leak that samsung will later release.
Just beta versions at the moment, rather disappointing.
CM9 is supposed to be nice, but I hear too many things not working, & will they never add fm radio support?
So... For now, I'm holding out on 2.3.4

LPB (Stock rooted) has behaved extremely stable so far, in fact the modem seems to more stable in comparison to GB.
Which rom you tried and did you wipe before flashing? LPB is not perfect (after all it´s a leaked beta) but it is more than usable as daily driver

Dear sir,
We at Samsong are deeply sorry for all your ****ty experience and whining at our LEAKED BETA roms that we never meant to be exposed to daylight ever. However, we would wish to make it up to you and specially release to you our secret XXOMG rom which we have been working closely with google for Android version 5.1 (codenamed: Duds). If you would kindly pm me all your specific detail information and we will email you this once in a lifetime rom for all your bragging rights on this forum so that you can make at least 10 threads informing people how great it is and spread the word for us.

Please contact us immediately to enjoy your offer!

I shouldnt do this cause my mates friends uncle will kill me but.
Ive got hold of a fully working release of ics that samsung will roll out the only reason they arnt is cause they are waiting to time it for the sgs 3 release, they want to encourage people to upgrade to that and then once thats sold well will offer this upgrade for the sgs2.
There have however been reports of phones being bricked due to a time stamp in the kernel stopping the kernel from running before a given date.
So I repeat this ROM will brick your phone
flash in odin as normal

[ROM][4.4][P7300][WIP][HOMEMADE] OMNIRom, unstable, [3 Jan, 2014]

Ok, I get it to work, somehow.
It is an early release, not tested, use on your own risk!
It is not suitable to daily use, only for testing. It crashes often. It's not bad but this crashes are no-go for normal usage
I based on work from kasper_h and C-o-M so they should be credited for this.
I will post buildable sources later, but there are no changes from repos of this two guys, only some merging
As for gapps I used this one:
http://duckbox.info/android/gapps-wingray-kk-20131223.zip
but they are little buggy
you may try any from this thread or even some other for KK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593757
I am not sure what is working and what is not, but for sure these are working:
WiFi
Camera
3G
And HDMI output is broken as in every post-4.2 ROM
IT IS ONLY FOR P7300 VERSION (3G one)! When it wil be more stable I will build wifi version as well.
Ok, but you probably don't care about all of this and just want a dowload link
Here it is:
omni-4.4.2-20140103-p5-HOMEMADE.zip
Reserved
Thanks to keep alive our tablet:good:

Thank you so much mate
so overall it's a great ROM and it has lots of working stuff in it like:
WIFI
Bluetooth
Camera [both] as for taking photos and panorama
Apps are working properly
Torch
3G
Power menu buttons
System UI
ART function seems to be working
GPS
Keyboard
Sound
but the not working stuff are quite huge, I know it is kind of alpha and early release
so this bug list is only to help you develop the ROM:
it is so laggy
lots of random hot reboot and some times normal reboot
lots of crashes
camera video recording
screenshot capture [Storage may be in use]
(which is why I didn't provide any screenshots)
Thank you again for your hard work
hope you'll be able to make this ROM better
Great! Since Kitkat is supposed to run better on slower devices i hope this one will be also faster than the older android versions
voice call
Sorry for the question, is the voice call enable and working???
Thanks

no, even mic is not working in any app as for now
I dont plan to work on this feature as I have data-only card in tablet... Not before more important features.
and about screenshots they will probably never work. Guy from 10.1 tried to enable them and it causes even more UI lag...
Thanks for your work, man!
I was expecting for someone who will rebuild this rom for our tablets! (was reading gt 10.1 thread for a while).

I'll fix voice calling, as I use it sometimes.
BTW, our tablet need special patch for rotation animation:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/ac555b9ca9a76d13a26fc9ea40980fe57258761b
It requres rebase, though. Line 200 of services/java/com/android/server/wm/ScreenRotationAnimation.java is now line 223.
My own build still don't boot. Both boot.img and system files are broken after building..
Thanks for your work. In the 10.1 forum they have already a pretty good working version. Is it possible to use the same sources/manifests of the P75xx for the P73xx devices, so that whenever they do any changes that we also get the same changes for the P73xx?
 @DemonGloom: I think you already tried it?

Yes, we are using almost the same device trees. Just wait for @pax0r to build new version.
Currently I cannot get mic working in phone calls. Incoming/outgoing calls with headset works great.
BTW, @pax0r, should i post latest TWRP for our devices or CWM is good enough?

Please. At least it's easier to have touch function than to use the power and volume keys.

To be honest I would prefer one CWM, because then I can switch easily between Android 4.4 and the previous versions.
I don’t see any reason that TWRP doesn't do that for you

I prefere also CWM,the prob is not the navigation with the keys, the backups which I have are created with cwm.
I have a better build than a previous but audio is not working, I need more time :<

I really hope we can get this thread going and get some interest. Maybe OP should rename the thread, The title is a big turn off and made me kind of not want to click it lol all jokes aside Great work and i hope others can help as well. Have a good day!!
Gonna try this when i get home from work. Will there be any new build soon?

Thanks!
Really cool ROM!
Just a short question:
How can I get root access?
Any hidden setting?
I want to restore my titanium backups.
