It is compatible with all androids. I mean, for download. I think that for upload too. I used it even in a low android (ZTE Racer) and it worked charmed.

Don't know, well. Just trying to help. But, just like Fingerprint, we may get it working :).
On the play store it says it's not compatible with my device. :(

Excellent work guys. Couldn't expect anything more from you guys. Great job.
Hopefully we can get another test build out soon with the new improvements?

Very interesting work done since the beginning.
Excuse me for my noob question: now my attrix is on GB 2.3.4 and Mrom Kernel, if do a nandroid backup and go on the new Kernel with 10.1 Rom; with my backup I can go back directly on my Mrom kernel and 2.3.4GB?

Sorry for the offtopic: quick question: has anybody tried to compile AOKP with the new kernel? I'm having some issues with some files of the vendor repository
They have removed some files in latest commits. You got two options, you can edit your device config or download those files from old revision.

I'm not asking for an ETA, but it has been nearly a month since any changes have been made public. I understand that a lot of work has been done, I just hope that some of this work will be made public soon.

Keep up the great work!

Hi All

I'm still struggling to get anything to do with the new kernel to boot. When I start my Atrix, I get the red M logo on the screen, and thats where it gets stuck. It doesn't reboot, just sits there.

I used to think I couldn't get the AtrICS build to boot, as the Red M appears then fades away and it looks like the phone is dead, but this time I left it alone for 10 minutes. I can get AtrICS to boot, so I have grabbed the dmesg off it.

EDIT: Forgot to say that AtrICS runs dog slow, as if it was locked at the slowest speed, i.e. takes about 1 minute to open Rom Toolbox and enter the Terminal or Root browser. When running on other "normal" roms the phone runs fast, and will run the 1.5 or 1.6 GHz Clemsyn kernel without issue.

- memory type: Elpidia 40nm
- panel type: 0x80000740
- sdcard present (yes or no): Yes and No (tried both, samsung 16GB class 10)
- simcard (normal/micro): Normal
- tegra revision (e.g. A03 prime): A03 prime
- atag revision: 83f0
- tegrapart: apart: mbr:d00:100:800
- kpanic: 2100:400:800
- radio: N_01.100.00R
- Speedo ID: 1
- CPU Process: 1
- Core Process: 2

I don't think there's anything special about my phone, that I can see anyway.

Things I have tried:

Building the kernel myself x2
Flashing the Alpha kernel over Epinters earlier rom.
Flashing Epinters 10.1 rom with the kernel.
Flashing the CM9 test rom.

Each time I am wiping:
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik

One thing I haven't done is format /osh

Any idea's, as I'd love to get this running. It may stop me buying another phone when my contract runs out in a couple of months!

Thanks

You tried 50hz kernel or modify the source before build the kernel. Mabe this can help you.
