Default [ROM] 2.3.6 Atrix 2 - Lunar Eclipse b2 - 8/8

Lunar Eclipse - BETA 2

So what have we got here? Basically, this is a 2.3.6-based ROM with an ICS-inspired theme and some pretty cool features. Sounds good? Good.
Please note that this ROM is in BETA. This means that I am still working on features, themeing, and there might be minor bugs.

FEATURES:
-Deodexed
-Zipaligned
-ICS-inspired "Eclipse" theme, most/all significant system apps are themed
-Carrier label removed, statusbar clock centered
-1% battery mod and icon
-Heavily debloated
-Modified power menu: reboot, reboot cwm, screenshot (see screenshots)
-Build.prop edits... smoother scrolling, more time in between checking for wifi networks, optimized dalvik vm heapsize, all that good stuff
-Init.d support and scripts! Sql database optimizer, apk zipaligner, and a lot more run at boot (but don't affect boot time)
-Faster read/write speeds on the sdcard
-Misc sysctl tweaks
-Disabled the blur/darken effect when opening the power menu and certain popups to increase smoothness
-Unlock your phone with a swipe or by just pressing the menu softkey!
-"Volume Wake" addon to wakeup your phone using the volume keys (but does not change any previous functions of the volume buttons)
-Operator selection, network selection, etc unlocked
-V6 Supercharger (update 9 RC10) - 1000 HP - fully implemented
-3G/4G Supercharger
-ICS keyboard and camera
-AppWidgetPicker - clear up space in your list of widgets
-Notification toggles - scrollable!
-Battery Bar - a thin bar that runs across the top of you statusbar that represents the current battery level. It is configurable.
-Ad blocking via hosts file
-Busybox installed
-GPS enhancements
-MegaBass volume mod... clearer sound with a nice bass punch, but not as hip-hop as Beats
-ICS transitions (fully implemented)
-ICS "fugu tweaks" - new system_server and app_process that results in overall smoothness and smoother scrolling
-Scrolling cache disabled - even smoother scrolling!
-Very nice "Roboto Light" font. A branch of the Roboto font that seems a bit more suited to mobile devices
-Overclocked/underclocked and overvolted/undervolted different cpu slots to result in potentially better batter life and a smoother experience (top slot overclocked to 1100 MHz). GPU also overclocked.
-Underclocks the CPU/GPU when your phone is locked/sleeping for better battery life, then overclocks when it wakes up
-Sony Bravia Mod - crisper, clearer display
-Some custom ringtones/notifications
-Entitlement check disabled (free wifi+USB tethering)
-Root permissions in adb
-Google Talk, Google Voice, and CM7 DSP Manager included as uninstallable apps
-All apps up-to-date (as of 8/8)
-More stuff I can't think of right now!

HOW TO INSTALL:
NOTE- Do not flash this from ICS! Only flash this if you are on GB.
-Download zip (see bottom of post) and place it on your sd card
-Boot into CWM
-Wipe data/factory reset. This is not necessary but is HIGHLY recommended (even if you're just updating)
-Flash the zip and any incremental updates
-Reboot and wait for a little while
-Insert your google login info or skip
-Choose "Holo Launcher" and set it as default

SCREENSHOTS:





DOWNLOAD:
---> BETA 2 UPDATE 1 <--- (flash this after flashing b2)
---> BETA 2 <---

---> BETA 1 (7/21) <--- md5 eda465b6a45e40a0846480e7656f687b - some people have had problems with this link. Be sure to download onto your computer, and if the filesize is still low try a different browser. This should be fixed with b2

KNOWN BUGS:
-If you wipe data after flashing, the statusbar will not show up until after you select Holo Launcher as the home launcher. This never reoccurs after the inital setup
-BatteryBar is a little bit glitchy. You might need to just go to the batterybar settings app to enable it at first, then rotate the screen or lock/unlock to get it to show up. Once you set it up it seems to work well even through reboots.
-If you manage to get maybe 7 or 8 different notifications, the notification icons will overlap with the centered clock
-Contacts FC if you press the menu button while viewing a contact. You can still long-press the contact's name to edit it
-This is not a bug but rather a limitation with the V6 SuperCharger. If you wipe /data AFTER flashing the ROM, you must flash the ROM again in order to reactive most of the V6 SuperCharger settings.

NOTES:
-Ad-blocking is enabled via the HOSTS file. This feature can be convenient, but many developers struggle to get find money but release their apps as free with ads because they're just awesome people. If you want to support those devs then you can find apps on the app store that will return your hosts file back to stock. I will upload a flashable zip that can do the same thing... sometime.
-Entitlement check is disabled, but that doesn't mean that AT&T/your carrier can't detect that you are tethering from your phone. I am not responsible for any extra charges you get for bypassing the entitlement check.

CREDITS/THANKS:
-Jimbridgman for just being awesome and answeing all of my questions
-Nitroglycerine33 for allowing me to port his Eclipse theme and all the power menu modifications, and for just helping me out with other misc stuff.
-Alteredlikeness for also being awesome in helping test and getting screenshots (as my A2 was hardbricked)
-Rdavisct for helping me with my some of my problems
-JRW 28 for helping me out with inverting Settings.apk
-Thanks to everyone that installed Beta 1 and helped fix any bugs!
-Anyone else that has helped along the way please shoot me a PM and I'll add you to the list ASAP!

Enjoy! If you find any reproducible bugs then please report them here!

Default Changelog/Addons

CHANGELOG:

Beta 1 (7/21):
  • Initial release!

Beta 2 (8/8):
  • Overclock toned down considerably, now much more stable and less battery-sucking
  • Revamped init.d scripts... fixed a couple minor bugs, removed loopy smoothness tweak, more stable+powerful memory management, etc...
  • New init.d script that runs in the background... when you lock your A2, the script will underclock a little bit, set the max frequency at 8000 MHz, and tweak the governor settings for optimum battery performance (this does NOT impede any processes that might be running in the background like music streaming or large file downloading).
  • Touched up the overall theme, changed rotation icon in the quickpanel to be less misleading, and made lockscreen slightly more ICSish
  • Configurable battery bar! A thin bar at the top of the status bar that represents the current battery percentage. You can configure it with the "Battery Bar Settings" app
  • Themed just about all significant system apks... dialer, contacts, phone, calculator, etc
  • Inverted Settings!
  • Sony Bravia Mod - Crisper, clearer display
  • Swapped out blur alarm clock and gallery with CM7 apps
  • Swapped out blur camera and keyboard with ICS camera/keyboard
  • MegaBass volume mod... clearer sound with a nice bass punch, but not as hip-hop as Beats
  • Included GTalk, GVoice, and DSP Manager (CM7) as uninstallable apps
  • Updated all apps that needed updating
  • Updated su/Superuser, now there isn't as much lag when requesting root permissions
  • Removed scrolling cache... garbage collector runs WAY too much when scrolling (on GB) and ends up lagging the scrolling considerably. So scrolling should be VERY smooth now
  • Volume Wake addon is now available
  • Bootup should be a bit faster now
  • Probably a little more stuff that I can't remember right now...
  • Note: Beta 2 will most likely be the last Lunar Eclipse released for GB. As soon as we get the soak I will begin to work on LE for ICS

Beta 2 Update 1 - 8/9
  • Tweaked overclock settings to be more stable, and tweaked screenstate_scaling script to be MUCH less aggressive which led to random lockups and reboots. It should be much stabler now, sorry for the issues.

ADDONS:

Volume Wake Mod:
Wakes up the device when you press a volume button. Just flash in CWM (wiping cache/dalvik cache is recommended).

This is freakin sweet!!!!! Really fast and I like the font. Only thing I had to change, is the UC, for some reason mine doesn't like to be UC'd from 300, if I do, it wont go below slot 2. (This is on all the roms ....not just yours).

Nice! Looks rad cogeary!

Maybe you should put a notice in the op not to flash if you're on ICS?

LOL, I know, stranger things have happened.
