Currently until Skype updates its app to support the Bionic you can install the hacked version. In Settings Enable Video Calling and then in the Advanced Settings Check "Use valid preview surface" and I checked Autostart on boot (optional).

Q&A
Question: "I can't see/find/locate files on my SD Card"
Answer: When browsing through the files on your phone, your actual SD Card is a folder named "SDCard-Ext". The folder named SD Card is the "built in" storage on the Bionic. So when looking for say your nandroid backup it will be located in /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/
NONE OF THE ABOVE IS MY WORK JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A SINGLE LOCATION WITH LINKS FOR NEW BIONICS TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY. OF COURSE EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Awesome thanks. We should get this stickied on here or the dev section.

Needs to move over to Dev section. But i think it will help a lot of people since you did a fantastic job at organizing it!
Just trying to give a little something back. I made a copy of it in the dev section, updated it for the Bootstrap, and created a quick and dirty bootstrap guide. Glad you like!
Good info here! Thanks for your time putting it together!

Same here. Used 2.5.1.2 and 3.0.0.8.
This will not install at all
I may not be a developer but I think I may have an idea on what's going wrong:
1. I think that there's too much being put into the System partition. Correct me if I'm wrong but you're only given so much.
2. I think that the ROM is packaged wrong. When I open up the ROM in 7zip, I don't see the system and boot.img file first, I see a subfolder and THEN the system and boot.img.
Again, I just wanted to give a heads up, I'm in no way educated in this stuff. I'm just reporting as I sees 'em.
Was just gonna say that the structure was jacked. The ROM does seem large as well

For what it's worth, I repackaged the ZIP myself and am installing it at the moment. It requires CM 2.x (I'm using the temporary flashable 2.5.1.2 that was floating around to bypass my already-installed 3.x series).
I think I did it right, but here's the error I get:

At the moment, CWM2.
It is not going to install until the system folder in below 250mb or so.
The OP has it at 350mb.
There is no way the OP even knows whether it even works because it will not install like this.
Thanks for the link in the first post. I'm trying a quick test build that I ported. I'll know if this DHD version is any easier to port in a few mins.
Tough to gain confidence if this is how thread starts. Good luck.
ANything yet?
Howdy folks. I'm pleased to introduce a pure AOSP system for the Atrix.
Current Version: 2.3.5+ (branded 2.3.7 due to whacky issues related to android.git.kernel.org being down)
This is as close to Google's stock Android (as seen in Nexus devices) as possible, while retaining an acceptable amount of functionality with the Atrix. It is based heavily on the Atrix Dev Team's CyanogenMod work, without using CyanogenMod repositories.
This system and the associated repo tree are targeted at developers. It is somewhat stable, but I cannot offer support or maintain a steady pace of development for end-users. As a result, there may be various intermittent or chronic issues with the build or the source code.
Things that are known not to work:
Webtop
Fingerprint scanner
Dual storage (internal + microSD) support - only one can be used at a time
HDMI stuff is totally untested
RTSP streaming in a specific corner case (which I've noticed)
GPS indicator sometimes gets stuck on, while GPS is clearly off
All CyanogenMod-specific bells and whistles - this is PURE AOSP
Probably other stuff that I can't remember at the moment
To switch between internal storage and microSD, there is an additional Android configuration switch: Settings -> Storage -> Use internal SD. Check/uncheck it as appropriate, then reboot for the change to take effect.
Hardware features not listed above are expected to work. However, there may be stability or functionality issues in any aspect of the system.
The source tree for this system is available at http://github.com/atrix-aosp.
To build a tree (a working repo utility is needed, of course):
Code:
$ mkdir atrix-aosp
$ cd atrix-aosp
$ repo init -u git://github.com/atrix-aosp/manifest.git -b gingerbread
$ repo sync
$ cd device/motorola/olympus
-- Connect your Atrix and enable ADB to pull proprietary bits --
$ ./extract-files.sh # (Or use a mounted system image to do this with local-extract-files.sh)
$ cd ../../..
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch generic_olympus-userdebug
$ make -jX otapackage # Where X = concurrency level, NUM_CPUS+1 is usually good
Have several pizzas, then come back a few weeks later to find a CWM-flashable ZIP at out/target/product/olympus/generic_olympus-ota-eng.$USER.zip (assuming everything went fine).
My latest built system is available for download and can be flashed from a CWM recovery. When flashing, it will require a wipe (of course) due to: incompatible signatures with Moto ROMs, or incompatible databases with the CM ROM.
Again, please remember: there will be issues and I cannot offer end-user support!

I figured I'd write this for people like me, who love trying new things and are willing to help test new builds like this one. After you install this ROM, it's exactly how he says it is. Completely bare bones system. This means it does not come with a file explorer. So if you see this and go....wow...I have no way to install root explorer to install any files....looks like I gotta reboot and flash google apps! So you boot into recovery mode to flash google apps, except google apps are stored on your external SD card, which isn't able to be seen now from RomRacers Recovery....and since I store no files on Internal SD....now I'm like..hmmm...OK. Well! I'll simply fix that by mounting USB (yeh I thought this would work for some reason lol) in recovery! Except you can't mount USB storage either obviously. Damn. Wait! I'll flash a restore! Since I backup my ROMs I use daily, I'll just restore from a previous nandroid backup! Nope. When ya hit Restore, it can't mount the SD card that they're stored on to restore anything. So now I'm sitting on my hands going...****...hmm...I can't even flash a new ROM now...feck...So Im thinking I'll have to push some files to the internal SD card via my computer to be able to flash google apps, which willl give me access to the market. Or flash the gingerbread .sbf lol. But I've only pushed files a few times, so now I gotta go lookup instructions. Moral of the story? This ROM is awesome. And fricking lightning fast. But make sure when you flash it you have google apps on internal storage be4 you do ;p
Cool story bro. Jk... thanks for the heads up.

Hey people! This is my first post here, but I've been watching this place for over 3 years now. Primarily a Mac developer, but switched from iOS to Android even before ICS came out. I own an HTC Aria and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (also one of those iCuttingBoards that apple makes).
This is just a zip file with all the files modified for the HTC Aria. Works great with that last EGL-enabled build of the CM9 rom in WinSuk's thread (I need 10 posts to thank him!?!? wtf?).
Here are instructions for rooted users:
1) Download the zip.
2) Unpack and you'll see the system folder with its hierarchies.
3) Open up Terminal (i'm a Mac) or cmd.exe (Windows).
4) adb push <my_unzipped_folder_here>/system/framework/android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar
5) adb push <my_unzipped_folder_here>/system/usr/keylayout/ /system/usr/keylayout/
6) Reboot!
7) ENJOY!
The HTC Aria with CM9 + EGL, and this mod makes it a seriously amazing phone (arguably far better than stock. it runs faster than my iCuttingBoard 1st gen too!)

Seriously crippled my Aria running MunJeni's CM9 4.0.4 ROM.
The hard buttons wouldn't work, and lots of other stuff broken.
Is this intended to be loaded into ICS or CM7?
Yeah. Just flashed munjeni's ROM... not fun. I'll release a new version as this one was meant for WinSuk's ROM.

Thanks for checking and for the work on this!
I'm probably asking a silly question, but what exactly is the multitasking button supposed to look like and what's it supposed to do?
I can press and hold the home screen for app switching, so I'm curious about what this button does and what advantage it offers.
.
Oh, this just takes the ICS Multitasking (the Recent apps) which the HOME PRESS + HOLD brings you, and puts that on the search button, which I've never used. Ever. Ever in the history of ever. So i'd love to have easier access to the multitasking.
P.S. does anyone know how to make this a flashable CWM zip?
Hmm awesome man..:thumbup:

Hello everybody!
Yesterday I was thinking about a new app for Android, and this app would be able to comunicate with the recovery to schedule things like backup and restore. In 2011 I released "ROM Updater" (not that big success though) which used extendedcommands, an extension to the recoveries made by the team of CyanogenMod (it was indeed created to let the CM updater work).
ClockworkMod Recovery adopted this system, but the author probably didn't want the competition, so started to release the ClockworkMod recovery with encrypted extendedcommands. You can still recompile CWM and redistribute with the unencrypted commands, though I decided to opt for something less rouge-ish (why the hell should I recompile something that already "works"?).
Team Win Recovery Project is a 100% open-source recovery with a new scripting language, called "OpenRecoveryScript". It's just like extendedcommands, but without all the implications of "Premium"* or in any case limited API.
Well, TWRP is not only that, it's a full-multitouch recovery, easy to use. It's being built for a list of devices, and this list will be updated every time someone will compile the recovery for his own device. I decided to compile it for the P7500, hoping it will be added soon to the official list. In the mean while, I'll release the builds right here.
I've built and tested the recovery image for the P7500 (WiFi+GSM) and it's been confirmed that it works on the P7510 device too (WiFi only).
Goo.im GT-P7500 TWRP repository
TechErrata GT-P7500 TWRP repository
TWRP 2.2.1.5 - GT-P7500
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.5-gt-p7500.img (on Goo.im)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.5-gt-p7500.img (on TechErrata.com)
TWRP 2.2.2.0 - GT-P7510 (thanks to MapleSyrup)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-gt-p7510.img
How to flash:
- Copy the recovery into the storage partition (alias /sdcard)
- In adb, as root, execute dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Cheers
*I personally think that Koushik Dutta (the ClockworkMod guy), encrypting the commands with his distributions, played hard: ROM Manager is the "official" CyanogenMod updater (it's distributed along with any CM release even if it's not opensource (and the CM guys worked hard to take the closed-source apps out of their release)), de-facto everybody install the CWM recovery just 'cause it's already there (déjà vu Internet Explorer?). I think this is called "monopoly" and should be fought in any possible way.
I'm all for true open source development, and will be watching your progress on this. Kudos and a thanks to you!

This appears to work on my Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 (p7510). Although the log says "E: Unable to mount /sdcard" I can access the sdcard just fine. I tried updating to the latest droidbasement.com kernel and it flashed perfectly.
Oh, and thanks for the quick and easy non-odin way of flashing recoveries.
The recovery is already in the goo.im repository

According to AAccount yes. Please confirm this, so that I'll tell the TWRP guys to add the repo for that device too and I'll update the title of the conversation here.
I can say without a doubt that this is the best recovery I have used on any device in my 3 years with android phones. Wow! Graphics a bit grainy on the p7500, but functionality is fantastic! Thanks!
Very nice recovery system, good to see other options. HTC users had several choices such as AmonRa and 4ext.
Can confirm that it works on the WiFi only version. Thanks for the options , friend. Been running TWRP on my One X since the boot loader was unlocked, and I was missing it.

You don't actually need to use adb. Any terminal app should do it. Just tyope "su" before issuing the dd command. I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&feature=nav_result. I suppose a word of caution would be to make sure you have the command correctly. Don't make a typo like mmcblk0p3 or you could be in a nasty situation.
Adb can be found in the android sdk. Google "android sdk" and download the appropriate one. After that have the sdk download platform tools.

An easy and safe way if you have the SDK installed is to run adb shell
Then type su
paste in the dd command posted earlier
Thanks....I went on google and am now learning about Android SDK. Interesting stuff. I know how I will be spending my weekend!
EDIT: In the meantime, I went ahead and used terminal emulator for the commands. I definitely like the touch interface...and it looks nicer than cwm for sure! It is a little slow graphically, but I think that can be forgiven based on the look of the interface.

Works great for me although it's a bit slow to boot into compared to CWM or even to TWRP on my brother's HP Touchpad. Also text is a bit pixelated. Other than that though it seems to work well. I use 4ext on my Nexus One so it's really nice to finally get a touch recovery on my tab too

I'm trying to resurrect alternative ROM development, CM9 with the target.
For analysis I want to ask advanced users to export images of their devices.
I am interested in ICS upgraded devices.
How to:
You have to be rooted.
Connect you device to ADB.
Export copy of your partitions by executing in adb terminal
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/ROW-32-3G-Recovery-mmcblk0p1.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/mnt/sdcard/ROW-32-3G-Boot-mmcblk0p2.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/mnt/sdcard/ROW-32-3G-System-mmcblk0p3.img
You should name images with REGION-CAPACITY-NETWORK-xxxxxx, see my example in code.
After having images, post location, where devs can download it or PM me to find a way to transfer it.
I will make repository of all gathered versions and make it available to other developers.
Reserved for repository links
I'm assuming your looking for dumps of someone who isn't already on the 0.0.7.3 CM9 Alpha? I'm willing to help push development of an alternate roms as I just hate the lenovo changes to just stock android. Let me know if I can be of service
Of course dumps of Lenovo Roms. My target is CM9, but analysis of Lenovo way and ripping some binary blobs (like libs) will be helpfull.

I'm not sure what use it will be... I don't have any tests to report. I was hoping that it might allow someone to get the official ICS update without losing CWR but I would feel terrible if someone bricked their TPT with this backup. If someone confirms it's usefulness I would be pleased.

I'm trying to resurrect alternative ROM development, CM9 with the target.
For analysis I want to ask advanced users to export images of their devices.
I am interested in ICS upgraded devices.
How to:
You have to be rooted.
Connect you device to ADB.
Export copy of your partitions by executing in adb terminal
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/ROW-32-3G-Recovery-mmcblk0p1.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/mnt/sdcard/ROW-32-3G-Boot-mmcblk0p2.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/mnt/sdcard/ROW-32-3G-System-mmcblk0p3.img
You should name images with REGION-CAPACITY-NETWORK-xxxxxx, see my example in code.
After having images, post location, where devs can download it or PM me to find a way to transfer it.
I will make repository of all gathered versions and make it available to other developers.

Ok, I guess I'll be the first So no matter how much you look via a file browser after mounting your TPT within your OS you will not find the dump files (at least on Windows, I didn't try my Linux box). Lenovo somehow filters out .img files or something. I tried renaming the file extension but I still wasn't able to see them.
So, I had to use adb to grab them. Simply:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/US-16-WIFI-Recovery-mmcblk0p1.img
Anyways, here are my dumps for my tablet. The system dump is almost ~800MB so I'm gonna have to see where I can upload it. I might try Drive in a bit and I'll update the list.

Happy to see that people are still working on cm9 for the tpt.
Unfortunately I don't have root. As there is currently bio iron to get root when running Lenovo ota3, is there a way to downgrade to 3.1 hc to use the old root method?
