Introducing Atrix-MROM. Custom ROM for the Atrix 4G

This is my attempt to build a stable, complete, and fully functional custom ROM for the Atrix 4G completely built from source code; Atrix-MROM is built on top of Cyanogen ROM latest source code, faux123 kernel, and Motorola proprietary drivers. I recompiled all components to guarantee maximum efficiency and performance. Along the way, I realized that I needed things to work different for the Atrix 4G, so I also made some changes. If you like my work, consider a donation to my cause.

Atrix-MROM is entirely build from source. You will see the difference when you run it. Just to list a few features:
  • Boot time in about 10 seconds
  • Optimum battery life, better than any other ROM I have tested
  • Quick, responsive
  • Contains all the most common Atrix tweaks
  • MIUI Camera for a better picture experience
  • QuickPic gallery application

While I tried to maintain the main core small, size is not the main focus.

Requirements:
  • Clockworkmod recovery, preferably Romracers
  • Atrix 4G with an unlocked bootloader

  • Clean dalvik cache
  • Install Atrix-MROM zip file
  • Install Google Apps
  • If applicable, re-apply the addon package
  • Reboot
  • 1st reboot takes a little longer

Update from a previous version:
  • This updates are could introduce instabilities, they are provided as an independent package
  • Download file Atrix-MROM-update-from-yyyymmdd.zip, where yyyymmdd is the build you are updating. DO NOT APPLY AN UPDATE FILE ON A BUILD OTHER THAN THE ONE SPECIFIED IN THE FILE

NOTE: Coming from the 20120812 to 20120816, I had a problem with the google applications, especially GMail, I had to install it twice. If any problems, just wipe data/cache/dalvik cache.
