Not 100% sure... but on gingerblur v 1.1 did it install by CWM? I don't remeber... if not that may be the problem... just a guess... idk I just started over and flashed everything... it only takes an hour or so
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sentinel79:
Wish I didn't have to wait till June 6th for my upgrade pricing option! I really am looking forward to trying this or whatever ROM is available then.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Should be a sliver better. The only differences:

Screen auto-turn-off time is set to 15 seconds (to save battery)

WiFi sleep is set to "when screen turns off"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] irishtexmex:
I have a somewhat Android related, non Atrix-specific question in regards to that.

I use Google Voice as my full time texting client (in addition to phone calls), and as I understand it I need a constant data connection to receive notifications and new texts. (i.e., I can't disable wifi and data for battery life and still receive GV texts.) I go to school and between home and on-campus I almost always have a WiFi connection. However, I do the odd trips frequently enough that there are a few hours per day where I don't have a WiFi connection. My question is this:

If WiFi sleep is set to "when screen turns off", then that means I'll constantly be switching from having a wifi connection to looking for, and connecting to, a data connection. Wouldn't this negatively affect my battery life compared to having a longer wifi timeout?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
If I'm correct... WiFi sleep is a little different. It doesn't mean switching back and forth between data. You'll have to ask someone more knowledgeable.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nephsuperman:
Thanks, love GreyBlur. I was running GingerBlur when I installed Greyblur. The only thing I note is that the Honeycomb apps run a little laggy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
they aren't honeycomb apps, they are the icons only..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
GreyBlur has the honeycomb music app and it is laggy as hell.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
oh so it does. I thought it was just an icon too as I don't use my phone for music, my mistake (:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I have to step in here. He is right. Setting the wifi policy to never IS the better option, receiving data across wifi and not connecting to the tower for data is way less drain of battery. That is the very reason that wifi only tablets have so much improved battery life. I have mine set to never and I get much better battery life than when I am set to screen off. Of coarse I am around wifi most of the time
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I too get random issues with data. Mainly when im trying to connect to the market....it will tell me no connection available. Ill have to exit and restart the market app a few times before it connects.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
That's a glitch from android os or the phone. Not related too Greyblur imo.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
I can concur with this. I'm on Bell so I'm just stock, and the network problem happens in the market with wifi sometimes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] irishtexmex:
Where can I change this? I'm looking in Wireless & Network and WiFi settings and not finding anything.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Anybody else having problems with the battery icon saying its fully charged even when its not?

try formating sd card
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Can someone please help why is the battery staying at 100%?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
Relax, its just an icon. Its not until 80% that the icon actually starts to drain, but even the change from 100% (and effectively 90% since they both share the same icon) there's only a subtle difference. But once you hit 70%, then you'll actually see the icon draining.

Don't worry, its just an icon, and if you really want an accurate reading of your battery life, then just install some battery monitors or indicators.

Under APN whenever I select tetheing it will not stay. It will go back to HSPA apn about 5 seconds after picking it. How can I fix it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Sorry if this was already asked (I can't imagine that it wasn't, but searching 1.5.7 returned no results).

I am running 1.5.7, which was rooted through aRoot v.2.

Should I flash back to stock 1.5.7 before installing greyblur? The first post says that flashing stock 1.5.7 before going from gingerblur to greyblur is a good idea but not necessary, so I think the same applies for me, but I just want to double check :)

Thanks! OP - from the screenshots, GREAT work with this! I have a lot going on right now, but will make some matching designs if I have the time / remember

(side question - even though I have my phone rooted, am I still considered to be running 1.5.7? sorry, still learning)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
You are good to go with GreyBlur and you answered your own question. Now if you experience any weird things, that have not been previously posted by users (which you really shouldn't theoretically :eek:), then flash back to 1.2.6 then go through Ririal's retain root method as you update to 1.5.7 and you should be good to go! Hehe, as for you're side question, yes :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Great! Thanks :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I am preparing for update...

I have put back the Origional /system/app and /system/framework files. Includes the .odex files too.

I am trying to get prepared for the new update. Is there anything else I need to do.. i.e. undo the webtop hack, HDMI mirroring, and other things..

I need to know how to do these things too..

Thanks..

JW
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
most likely the easiest way to do that would by to flash back to the original stock SBF (look in this forum for the "flashing sbf" thread)

you'd lose your settings and stuff...but you're completely ready for the update
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
That is exactly what I am trying NOT to do... There is no reason why there can't be an easy way to go back to stock.. We are only changing the /app /Framework and a few other files (Build.prop, Setting.db, Bootanimation.zip) The OP should be able to make a nice .zip for people to undo his ROM for people wanting to update.

Flashing the SBF is something to fall back on when you get in a tight spot. Any mod can be undone, and the OP should be able to give users a simple way to go back. I already put back my /system/app and /system/framwork files simply by putting then in the Greyblur ziup file in place of the Deodexed Greyblur files. I just do not have a clean copy of the other files, and I am not sure what gets Modified during the HDMI and Webtop hack either.. I think putting in the stock /app files already undid the webtop, I was just looking for confirmation.

I am fimiliar with the SBF process, I have done it 5 times already, just wanted a solution that didn't require that.. and as a beta tester for the new software, I would like to try to update without the SBF so that I can write a proceedure on how to Undo Greyblur, update to this new software, and retain root...

Wouldn't others like to do that same without the "Flash the sbf" BS again.. and again..

Things that are done can be undone.. thats the nature of technology... clean slate SBF is for major FAIL..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jthornton71707:
Does anyone have a solution to this? ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Working on version 2.0 right now.

Possibly included in this update (in order of importance to me):

- WiFi signals fixed

- Market and maps update and skinned

- Fixed dialer icon in Dialer

- SD card speedfix

- APN list update

- Init.d startup scripts

- More, better wallpapers and option for folder

- Battery mode auto-set

- Power widget themed more

- Keyboards themed

- Dual setup with Gingerbread and Moto Multi-touch keyboards

- Status bar graphics change

- Possible CPU->GPU test

- Battery icon update
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Not to pry, or push you or anything, but will you consider making a ROM at some point based on the new sbf that got leaked that works with bell at any point, if more bell users can confirm that it works?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daemontux:
As with many of the major android developers, the OP uses his free time to create these excellent ROMs for us. It is not his responsibility to create a stock update.zip nor is it anyone else's since there are already methods of returning to stock or a previous backup. This would likely be a nice feature and if you or any of the Atrix community feels compelled to work on it, great. It'd be a good learning experience. That being said, this should be a request to the XDA community - not directed at whichever developer you feel should do it.

Thank you ken. I appreciate all the work you do.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yes I will consider it once it has been rooted and I receive a dump of /system and /data.

:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
With regards to the "uninstall" option:

I have plans to make something like this to prepare for the new update. The problem is that these uninstalls are usually a bit more touchy. Sometimes they might not work. I will try when I have time though. Right now, we have no update, so it isn't imperative.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
Flashed to this tonight and I'm very impressed, excellent work! A couple of questions:

-- I noticed that the notification bar at the top doesn't show the current battery level...or does it and mine is just fully charged?

-- When manually entering the unlock code on the phone (i.e. when not using fingerprint) the character display (i.e. the dots and the last digit entered) are very dark, so much so that it's difficult to make them out against the dark wallpaper.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
The 100%, 90%, and 80% battery icons look very similar. I will correct this in a future version. Rest assured... your battery is being accurately displayed up there.

I have noticed that second point as well. Some of these things I simply cannot control. If Google/Moto codes their app to use this text-style for this spot, I cannot change that (without some intense skilled work). This is a problem that I cannot fix at the moment.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Maybe you miss my point. I have ALREADY successfully restored my phone to stock. I was simply informing Ken the OP that this type of un-install might be handy for updates like the one at hand.... which he has acknowledged. My other concern was a simply question of whether there were anything OUSIDE the /system/app and /system/framework that would hinder an update to his best knowledge.

I plan to enable Ken with any information he needs after the update including system dumps and the like to help with his further development and compatibility with his future releases of his ROM.

So my concern was whether getting my system back to a Odex'd state was enough to get a successful update, or whether the bootanimation and other settings would need to be restored as well.

I think Ken might feel your appreciation a little more effectively if you would donate some money towards his cause and not hinder those who have from continuing his efforts. I am very capable of doing most of these things on my own, and my suggestions are just encouragement for those who are not. I do not however possess the skills to make such a bad ass themed ROM, and thats why I am helping Ken out with anything I can, including donations which you can see I already have.

My asking Ken about creating a .zip file for un-installation is not an outlandish request of a developer, it is just a suggestion for the thousands who would not be able to do that on their own. Ken is aware of the need for such a thing, as he just stated.

Ken, I appreciate your hard work, and I think Greyblur is the most RAD thing I have seen on Android yet.

JW
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I can verify that by pushing back the Origional /app and /framework I was able to restore back to OG 1.57 with so much as a single force close. I hope this helps any development your considering.

I also restored my .prop file, as I used PropEditor app to back it up prior to Greyblur upgrade. Anything else you can suggest I restore prior to the update being released.

I cannot think of anything that would cause issues with upgrade...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
If you flash sbf's constantly to install new roms, im sure you are aware of Tenfar's Recovery :p Lets just say you switch between the three available psuedo-roms and hate having to keep reflashing back to 1.2.6... Well, before you install the roms onto 1.5.7, just do a back-up through Tenfar's Recovery and that would save you 10 mins of flashing the 1.2.6 (at least thats how long it takes for mine :( ), another 15 mins of doing Ririal's retain root method and update to 1.5.7, and it is probably also a good idea to set up your accounts too before you do the back-up, and that way you can get back to a odex'ed stock rom just incase if you need to update again since Moto is pushing updates out the butt as of late (none that really remedy any of my problems at least :mad:).

It takes about 6 mins give or take a few to restore back, versus half an hour flashing and updating. Its a good alternative to waiting for Ken to make an uninstaller (not to say that the Great Ken can't do it, but it is very tedious and he has a life also ;) ).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
I'm curious, would there be a way to make the battery icon up top a toggleable item? I use the notification icon from "Batter Monitor Free" which shows me a percentage up top, which I find more useful. The icon just ends up being redundant and adds to the clutter.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
basically what I was going to say, I also removed the AT&T stuff (that can be removed in Manage Applicatons) and setup a few of my common settings such as international APN for vodafone. I didn't setup my google account before backing it up with CWM though, as I thought this may cause syncing problems (as the phone may consider its information newer and sync old information back to my google account, I don't know for sure so I left it out for now)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
Might want to leave in the AT&T apps because those are required for the update i believe (thats what i understood from a posting of P3Droid, i think thats his name). But an alternative to uninstalling those bloatware apps is freezing them through Titanium Backup Pro though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Yea, I have made backups, but the recovery didn't come out until after I had already had put my phone on gingerblur, or I certainly would have just used the recovery. I am now back to stock about 95% by just throwing my OG files in place of the ones in the greyblur install zip, that seemed to do the trick. If anyone has a copy of the OG bootanimation.zip file that would be pretty key.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Don't know if this is GreyBlur related, but I noticed today I have lost tethering with both WiFi Tether and Barnacle since making the change from GingerBlur to GreyBlur. Laptop still sees both SSID's, but fails to connect.

I did a fresh install, and didn't flash over GingerBlur.

Anybody else see the same thing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] youareme7:
sync icon always showing

I'm curious if anyone has had this problem and found a solution. The sync icon that shows up in the notification bar is stuck on there all the time even when no data appears to be transferring. I figured out that when I force close "email engine 2.2.1" it makes it go away for a short time but comes back after a little bit.

I know "email engine 2.2.1" is required for text, email and calendar, so I can't just freeze it, but I'm wondering if there's any other way to fix the sync issue. It seems to me that my gmail doesn't sync well compared to before I used a "custom rom" but I can't seem to figure out what to do to fix it.

I've tried clearing data from gmail and calendar but that hasn't helped. Additionally I've tried unchecking all the sync actions in the accounts menu but that didn't remove the icon.

If anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zanzee:
I noticed I can't get tethering to work after installing greyblur, It was wroking on gingerblur just fine. I'm on Rogers and it keeps asking me to get my ATT account tether enabled. I can't wait for all the ATT bs to be removed from this phone, I really feel for all you guys stuck using what seems to be the worst provider I've ever seen(I even used to work for them as a tech).

Anyway to install aosp mms.apk? I tried extracting the apk from gingerblur and dropping it in the system/app folder but no dice
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
I have had no problems with Gmail through multiple flashes and using stock, GingerBlur, and GreyBlur. My Gmail syncs better than with any other phone I have had, and it's damn near instant when a new email arrives.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
This is happening to me as well...very disconcerting especially given that the phone is now rooted. I figured this just has to do with what is probably push email being used, but even so I like to know what my phone is doing. All of the applications are working just fine so my suspicion is that this is normal operation, we just didn't see it with the stock ROM.

By the way, I understand the calendar widget is broke, and that's a known issue. Can I get back the original Motorola one by getting it out of the bloatware ZIP file in the Gingerblur files?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MarcoPolo78:
Not sure if its apart of the ROM but ever since switched to greyblur my Gmail app hasn't been pushing my mail to me, when I hit refresh they pop up but no push notification. Also I can't delete the gmail app.

if i edit the script.sh, and remove all the mv commands the bloatware will remain right?

the first move command, about flashplayer, has to renamed too?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
What you had before wasn't a good connection. It was actually a mistake with the icons. In GreyBlur 1.0, the icons were messed up so it almost always showed 5 bars. This has been fixed in GreyBlur 2.1. Now it will display correctly.
