Hey guys, just passing along good news!! Seems Koush as added our Atrix into Rom Manager!! Now recovery can be flashed with ease.
look at the bottom addition!!
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
So should this version solve the issues we have when we do a Nandroid recovery in the current CWM build for the atrix?
One step forward!

Ha! I literally just installed it for the fixed permissions feature and then just stumbled into this thread. Glorious day.
Still gonna wait for the atrix community to support this version of CWM first before I flash this recovery.

I would assume so since we now have official support! Not sure how this recovery differs from Tenfars' but its all good! I have not tried it yet, since I'm waiting for my replacement atrix to arrive.
So if we flash that img via fastboot will it just install over the one I have?
sweet thanks for the info!!
yay! I'm gonna wait til probably tomorrow for Rom manager update in the market (hopefully) to flash it.
Sweet flashed the new recovery! Looks good so far

Doesn't have sdcard-ext in cwm recovery.
Super! I just installed look great!
So if we install it...does it overwrite what is on my phone? Im currently running gingerblur v4.5.

Thanks for the good news!
It does not have support for the external sd card. Only recognizes the internal one. I don't recommend the install. Ill update when it adds support. I installed it through rom manager
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yes. Someone must inform them..
External sd, is refferenced as sd-ext, instead of sdcard-ext like the atrix.
The backups are saved in internal.
A choice where to save it, would be nice.

Has anyone that has tried this emailed the author about the external card? That's a biggie, for us.

Look for the ROM thread that has the most number of pages, or look in the Q&A sections.
By the way this question should be posted in the Q&A section, and you should read the forum posting rules.

I agree with this. But personally, I'd go with asgard. It's been the most stable and battery friendly in my opinion.

Second that! Oh and yeah bad place to put this. Actually this question get's asked a lot, yet there is no definitive answer it seems?... I believe it is all about personal preference. MIUI seems to have a great balance of everything I could want in a phone and super user friendly customization. I searched a month for a rom... Tried most 2.3.x and while they all offer something and are greatly appreciated... I just so happen to like MIUI the best. Goodluck!
Cm7 is what many people go for, but if you google the things you can do in MIUI, then you will see it offers the most features. The non stock version that nickminn updates every friday seems to be better than any other 2.3.5 rom I have seen otherwise.. but they all have bugs, reduced battery life versus 2.2.x, and barely or non working gps.
The bugs I still had when I stopped using it a few weeks ago: media button on headphones doesn't work, if listening to music when you get a call and you answer, the music will continue to play, you have to restart it after charging(at least after long charges) or it will not go into deep sleep, and occasional sd card issues(my music player would too often not be able to find the music).. the plus side is all of the features: the notification bar being customizable and shortcuts to each toggle, the ability to theme EACH part of the UI individually, the built in backup/restore, the battery tracking, the device data usage app, the multi touch drag/drop and tons more.
Also I was getting 16-20 hours under heavy/moderate use which is the best I have seen on any ginger rom including cm7.. on ANY 2.3.5 rom you need to use cpu spy to make sure it goes into deep sleep to have good battery.
Hope this helps.. there is a large trade off using any gingerbread rom until we get the source code-- I went back to 2.2.1 because EVERYTHING works, and I simply can't kill it in 24 hours unless I TRY.. I get 24-48 hours per charge. I miss the features of MIUI, but not enough for the costs-- most of the differences between 2.2 and 2.3 is mostly cosmetic in the end.
I think he means 2.2 roms that look like GB. In that case, try Bionix 1.3.1. It should be easy to find.

why would you want a 2.2 rom that looks like 2.3 when you can have 2.3?
that's like body kitting a car to look like a ferrari when you can just get a ferrari... sure the ferrari may get worse gas mileage, but it's still definitely worth it.

Root. Install rom manager. Install vibrant recovery via rom manager. Download bionix 1.3.1. Reboot into recovery. Clear cache and and dalvik cache. Install zip from sd card. First boot takes a bit and your phone starys talking saying its enabling vodoo lagfix. And then you are done

cm7, miui, and there are plenty of others. cm7 is as easy as odin to jfd, root, install rom manager, flash cm7 and the gapps. miui should be the same. for any of the samsung i9k based roms you want/have to flash new bootloaders (at least that was the case last time i used one).

if you installed clockwork recovery and you are getting the stock recovery, you need to hit 'reinstall packages' (sometimes twice).

Put the new build.zip in your sd, reboot the phone, blue light and stock recovery...

This is also similar to flash...I know this one other method? Becoz every time have to install software

Have had no problems with this build at all. Did you do a full wipe prior to flashing? (And I don't mean just a fastboot -w or wiping Dalvik, userdata, and cache).

Sometimes you are just better off doing a full wipe as a sanitary precaution.
Updated earlier. Didnt wipe. Absolutely no problems. I actually never wipe from one version of CM to the next. I guess that's probably not a good thing. But, I've never had any problems.
I ran a full wipe and am loving the update so far

if you read my last threads you will know i mashed my other note to pieces....
on my desire i would flash roms 3 each week without messing the phone up, so after messing up my note through formatting through cwm while on ics i am a little/lot scared about doing it again..
so i want a little help if you guys would be so kind :laugh:
i dont have the new phone with me right now, but this time i am going to learn how NOT to brake the phone before i start playing with it.
so could you please walk me through this, explain to me as you would explain to a child LOL
so as i understand it, i need to keep to gingerbread then root it, go into recovery and flash the rom from there? do i use the normal phone recovery to do this or do i have to install cwm?
i am a little worried about using cwm again tbh, or can i use mobile odin?
i want to know the easiest way, the most fool proof....
damn i was never this worried with my desire.
your probably thinking "if you are so scared then why bother" right? its just the phone is so damn laggy, even compared to my desire which was built by cave men
cheers for the help guys, asuming i get some ofcourse :fingers-crossed:
Start from a gingerbread rom, then fully root it and install clockworkmod, next boot into recovery(volume up+power+home button together). First flash paranoid android rom then flash gapps, lastly wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy

Yes, you can flash from one of the supposedly known safe ics kernels to speed the process up BUT if you want to be 100% safe in flashing to any cm9, start with a gingerbread rom.

I also just received my note from samsung after bricking it with CWM. I am so afraid I might brick it again trying to install paranoid android since I have to wait nearly a month to have my phone back in case anything happen.
Just one question, as long as I'm on paranoid android, can I just format or factory reset my phone through settings or recovery or cwm safely? Thanks a lot.

If you want to install paranoid, its cm based which means no touchwizz apps will work on it as they need the touchwizz framework. That being said, s pen still works fine and there are plenty of alternatives to the s apps (papyrus, memo etc). Also I've read that one of the devs is working on getting the s apps onto cm9 somehow, but not sure who or how its going. Also the cm9 kernel included for the rom is safe from the superbrick bug as its has the cap wlerase command disabled.
PA has a slightly different installation to other roms. I would highly recommend first installing stock rootable gb, root it and install cwm. Once that's in place perform factory reset.
Then download paranoid and g apps and copy them to external SD card.
Then FROM CWM recovery, you flash pa first by "installing zip from SD card", then do the same for g apps straight afterwards.
If you have any fc's or issues, enter back into cwm recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Boom, ready to go for full on paranoia
Its a truly great rom, very customisable and as ics should be.

Thanks ST, so am I right in thinking if I go the cm route then I don't have to flash the kernel first. It will do it for me? So all I need to do is root it and get a safe kernel?

The safe kernel is included in the pa rom, cm9 kernel. So long as you flash it from cwm in gb you're fine it installs it automatically.
Think mobile Odin is only a paid for app... well worth it though. Check the forum, chainfire usually releases free versions to xda community.
