MROM-Olympus. 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, my branched and modified 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.

BUILT FROM SOURCE PROOF https://github.com/MROM. Every developer should provide proof that he is building from source.

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.

Few user comments:
ahmedbeik: this is the best rom i ever had on my atrix.
Larac: Liking this rom so far, good battery and smooth.
RFOX100: cant belive. this is the only smartphone who can handle 2 days without drain so much battery
ravilov: I don't remember when I took it off the charger
stanekskc: i have to say it. THIS ROM I AWESOME
P05TMAN: Seriously, this is the best, most stable ROM I have EVER used (I've tried countless ROMs for the Atrix in nearly two years). Great job.
alberto88a: I felt as if I had a new phone, an 8-cores phone
samiam21:This rom with it's new design is as good as it gets. F#$% ics!
Neroga:it's the only truly stable CM7 ROM I've ever used.
many more...

Thanks for the Rom. It's a good thing I don't need webtop because this is based off CM7 and everyone knows that CM7 doesn't support webtop. But I figure if I didn't know that, I would just use Google to find that out. Again thanks for the Rom and thanks for including all information in the first post.

Only 12 MB in Size?

[EDIT] - This question has been answered, and the ROM is "usual sized".

Is this ROM really only 12mb or did I grab the wrong file from your Github? If so, you should advertise this...this is smaller than the leanest ROM by a long way... Thanks for developing for the Atrix.

how much does this rom average at quadrant standards?
now this is a toughy to choose between this and neutrinos rom 2.91ee, which is better?
from the about phone screen shot looks like this rom consumes resources such as memory.. 353 / 815
where neutrinos 406 / 815 after all my apps installed..

can anyone provide some feedback/ review?

Hey, this ROM looks very promising and I'd like to try it out, but...

Before I flash something on my phone, I'd like to at least check that it downloaded properly. Good news - you provided the MD5 file exactly for this purpose. Bad news - the MD5 file is not for that ZIP file at all. The ROM is called Atrix-MROM-20120816.zip while the MD5 file mentions cm-nightly.zip, and of course the MD5 sum mentioned in the file doesn't match the one calculated from the ZIP. On top of that, the web server you're using doesn't send the total size of the file (while it was downloading the progress was alwasys xxx MB of Unknown) so I can't even guestimate based on the file size (ie. it's supposed to be around xxx MB, my download is about that size, so it's probably fine).

The downloaded ZIP file happily opens in any archive manager which is definitely good, but I'd really like to check it against its MD5 file before I actually decide to flash it. Hope you fix this soon!
