When I get a new text, the GoSMS notification has this big red circle with the number of new messages in it...Before I flashed this ROM it only had a small little yellow number next to it. How do I change this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
I would just like to point out that I have 75% battery life right now and at this time of the day, everyday, with my usage I would be about 52-53%. I updated to greyblur 2.1 yesterday from gingerblur 1.3

Im not sure exactly what was changed but I will point out that I don't use any battery saving apps such as juice defender or setcpu. I also run everything on such as gps and wifi and widgets; my wifi sleep policy is set to never.

EXCELLENT speed and battery life. I like this modded rom so much that when I move onto my next phone ill be highly disappointed that I can't take it with me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dav5049915:
I'm enjoying greyblur so far, but i have one issue.

when i'm driving home at night with the cardock, the icons on the cardock homescreen have white backrounds. this makes for a VERY bright screen pointing in my face.

any way to fix the night mode icons to be a dark grey or even black backround?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] h11g:
guys can i flash greyblur 2.1 straight away on top of greyblur 1.2?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slayu:
Yes. There should be an update file for upgrading on the download page.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mobile88:
YES you can ; I did that
[Atrix 4G Android Development] h11g:
thanks, going to dl the update instead of having to flash back stock sbf~! =)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFauteux:
Ok. So I have now been 3 days without a phone. I love the Greyblur and refuse to go back to stock unless I cannot get my issues resolved. I have been flashing for about 20+ hours.

I have tried installing from internal SD, external SD, original download, mirror download.

I can set up the fingerprint sensor perfect and it unlocks phone on first use. after that it no longer works, It says it is initializing. Thats the smaller issue

The larger issue is that it wipes out my APN list and my APN's dont work even when i retype them from a stock atrix. That means i cannot even get picture messages.

I have also flashed back to SBF multiple times and have no idea whats going on. Does anyone else have these 2 problems? I need my phone up and running asap. Thanks again!

ATTN: I receive ~75 messages per day from different people. I cannot respond to all of you. Please understand that I am a busy student who is providing these ROMs/MODs for free.

It makes me really upset when I receive messages like this:

You all should know that I care about the community a ton. I really love creating these theme-ROMs and chatting with all of you. But, I am a busy student and web-entrepreneur. I can't possibly provide full support for all of you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Very odd. I might be able to patch up APN problems in a future update.

I don't know what's wrong with your fingerprint sensor. You're the first person to have that issue. Good luck! I hope someone can answer your problems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Kenneth, you're not a business. Just:

a. Ignore them.

b. Hang them out in here by name.

c. Tell them to f*off!!

P. S. For every one idiot like the one that send you that message there's 500 of us that love & support your work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFauteux:
The fingerprint issue is not a major one for me. i can always use a pattern. Its the APN that are really killing it for me. If you can figure it out and we can get my MMS and 4g working, I have a nice donation ready for you. I really appreciate what you are doing for the community. I used to write tutorials for apps and cache to SD when the G1 first came out. It has been a long time for me though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humjaba:
Installed this yesterday and it's been pretty good... Battery seems to be lasting longer. Haven't noticed any downsides, except for the following -

in the entertainment center HDMI app (the stock one), video doesn't work. It looks like the video is trying to play behind the "remote" control on the phone screen, instead of on the TV. Pictures work fine, the menu works fine, and the webtop works fine. I just can't watch video from my phone on the TV.

Thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
This has been asked literally 50 times in this thread alone, and probably another 50 in the gingerblur thread. Show some initiative and browse back a few pages (it is asked and answered at least once every 5 or so pages) or use the forum search feature.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] marhodges:
I'd love an answer to this as well.

I was doing great on GreyBlur-1, but am having a lot of random reboots after trying to restore select bloatware. I never had a random reboot since launch day on either 1.2.6, 1.5.2 or 1.5.7 on either gingerblur or grey blur until a few days ago.

So I was wondering if there is a benefit in my case of flashing to sbf before installing GreyBlur 2-1. Also, since there is GingerBreak now, do we need to flash to 1.2.6 or can we flash to 1.5.7 (from bandbinnovations.com) without doing the OTA update?

PS. Everyone on these XDA forums are so helpful and I plan to continue to support your hard work. I totally understand that everyone has other jobs and answering my stupid questions a career does not make.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humjaba:
Yeah yeah, so i edited the build.prop

Note to future users: edit build.prop, then use Titanium backup to uninstall HDMI app
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Freeze it with titanium or use root explorer to delete the hdmimirroring.apk in /system/app
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mario925:
why it say GreyBlur 2.0 and not 2.1 in "about".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Ken just forgot to change it. 2.0 was the real release, and in 2.1 he just had to fix an issue with the installer, so it's basically 2.0, but 2.1 was needed to get a working installation.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live_free:
How do I get wifi tethering with greyblur?

I used gingerbreak and gladenable. I did says yes on the "custom tethering VPN".

I installed android wifi tether v3.0 vpre-14 from here . But it says my kernel doesn't support it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] chikou:
UPDATE:

I recommend flashing to Stock SBF first and starting fresh.. I have no problems now after starting fresh, my apns are now back and greyblur is back to being the great rom i knew.

my steps

1) back up apps/data with titan, back up contacts place on pc

2) restore stock sbf, factory reset, update to 1.5.2, update via ota 1.5.7

3) root via gingerbreak.exe, then gladenable

4) instal system recover, aka tenfar bootstrap recovery

5) install greyblur

6) install HSPU mod

on greyblur 2.0 with 3dl 2up avg :P atrix rocks now!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jpinoy:
Yup, thats the joy of installing Experimental version... you get to test them:p

So far, I've been using 2.0.5 with no problems(just doesn't support Access list, well, on mine I get that pop-up), I had issues with 2.0.7 dropping my connections... so just went back down to 2.0.5...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zanr Zij:
You should restore directly to 1.5.7, no need 1.52.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] irishtexmex:
I'm having this same problem as well--however, I don't know AT&T's stock APNs so I haven't tried adding my own APN (the stock AT&T ones) yet. Could someone provide/show me where I could locate them? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
My battery life is very diminished after installing greyblur.. I used to be able to go like 2 days before charge is necessary. Now I can't even make it through a day. I have spare parts and after unplugging from the charger two hours ago my time awake is listed at an hour with time spent with screen on only at 20 minutes. Yet my partial wake usage has no apps above like a minute...greyblur is doing something that spare parts can't tell me about apparently. Any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
Did you happen to flash the radio to enable HSUPA?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Nah. All I've done was root with gingerbreak, enable sideloading, install tenfars and then flash the ROM. I also flashed the gingerbread keyboard. I installed watchdog and its not detecting anything either.. I rebooted my phone and am leaving all data and wifi and syncing and stuff off and its sleeping better now...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
I've had the best battery life by far on greyblur, much better than gingerblur. Maybe its gingerbreak, I've seen some complaints about gingerbreak.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chikou:
Couldn't find 1.5.7 sbf until after waiting for flash lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chaosjh:
anybody have an answer as to why facebook sync is broken and logs are lost when i mod framework?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
Interesting because mine was broken with gingerblur and repaired when I installed greyblur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I don't see why Gingerbreak would hurt battery life... But yeah, it's weird because nowhere else can I find any suggestion that some app or process is draining the battery. When I look at the partial wake usage, watchdog or the battery monitor that came with the phone, everything looks normal and the apps in there are definitely things I had used. But for some reason my phone like isn't going to sleep at all (the runtime is WAY higher than screen on time). It only seems to be happening when I leave Wifi on, which sort of makes sense since wifi drains battery. But it wasn't this bad before I rooted and Flashed the rom (it was all in like the same day, so I dunno which caused the issue).

EDIT: something I just thought of was that I set my Wifi sleep policy to never. This was due to laziness (didn't want to have to wait for it to come back on when I open my phone) and so that when I had auto sync on (a feature I don't feel I should have to turn off to save battery life) my apps wouldn't keep failing to update (with no wifi) and then keep retrying. I usually leave mobile data off unless I'm out and about walking.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
I don't know, my wifi sleep policy is set to never and I have ridiculously amazing battery life. I also leave mobile data on and let my phone bounce back and forth between edge and 3g all day. I also update all widgets every 30 min and have GPS enabled.

I used to end my 9 hour work day on stock blur and gingerblur with 3-6% battery life. With greyblur its 40%. Same usage, same building, same everything.

I am not joking.

My iPhone 4 would be between 10 and 15% everyday and that was with GPS and 3g disabled.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Jeez that's a lot of usage. That's what I yearn for! Being able to leave pretty much everything on and running (I mean this phone has a friggin dual core processor, it can handle it) but my stupid battery barely lasts a day now it seems (and I'm mostly using it during just 3 hours of class). There's just something keeping my phone awake I dunno what...

I read about some people calibrating their battery or something? What does that mean? Just letting it run out and then fully charging it for a few days?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
Here's what I would do:

Reflash the 1.26 sbf and use the gladroot method to retain root. It will have you run something before and after the 1.57 update. Then go into update and grab the 1.57 OTA wifi update. Make sure to run the after update to retain root.

Install CWM and flash greyblur. Restore all of your apps and settings manuallly (or if you're lucky market will restore the apps and blur will restore the settings) and let your phone die completely. Plug it in with the WALL charger (not usb) and charge it over night. Wake up and let us know it its better throughout the day.

Your battery is now calibrated. Don't decharge your battery like that more than once, its bad for it. These batteries prefer to have a constant charge rather than be drained and charged. That's an old school battery method.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Alright sweet, that sounds pretty good and doable! I'll try that when I have a couple free hours one day soon.

Before I finish my plethora of posts here today though, I was wondering how the HDMI mirroring app on GreyBlur is supposed to work? I plugged my phone in with the HDMI cable, and the media center and the webtop mod both work perfectly. But HDMI mirroring isn't an option, and when I go to my dock and open it, it asks for superuser privileges twice and then nothing happens. It gets an error and says it may not have the privileges...?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
HDMI mirroring should be an app in your app drawer. I just don't see the need for it though when webtop emulates the phones screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Yeah I found the app, it just doesn't work. But yeah, I see what you mean by not seeing the need, but like for games and stuff it would be nicer to just be able to control it with the phone screen instead of having to move the mouse around and stuff (games like Fruit ninja are impossible...)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
Makes sense. I just don't how to make it work lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Haha no worries, I'm sure someone else will come around with some advice. You've been quite a help already!

Hey I was seeing the people were having problems with the fingerprint scanner on GreyBlur? Does this happen to all people who have it, or just some of them? I'm afraid to try it out, but I used to use it and it was nice
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
Some people were reporting problems with it, I myself never had any problems. I just hate the thing because it won't let me into my damn phone half the time so I keep it disabled.

Not to say it doesn't work but its just to unresponsive for me and how quickly I'd prefer to get into my phone when need be.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I see, so it's just kind of a sporadic problem at this point? Yeah I agree with you, I mostly don't like extra steps when unlocking. But I've always thought it'd be a good idea just for security, and the fingerprint seemed to be the fastest for me, so if I wanted to use it again I wanted to see if it should work on GreyBlur ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chikou:
I havent had any problems at all with facebook app.

I will see if i can copy my apns with root exploereso you can copy and paste it into your phone later when i get home. Although I am new to this and i am not sure if a simply copy and paste would work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
I love the idea but I've just found that the damn thing wont pick up my print until the 5th swipe. Too annoying for me.

If they updated it to only lock the phone by fingerprint after a 10 min delay and adjust it so that it picks up my finger everytime I would definitely use it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
He wasn't asking about the Facebook app. He was referring to the syncing capapbilities of Facebook and his contacts in his phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
That that'd be a pretty good setting for all lock screen styles, if there was a delay so I wouldn't have to spend time doing it every time I opened my screen haha.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
You can currently do this with every lock screen type other then fingerprint :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Oh lame! Wow I never noticed that option with the other ones haha
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mario925:
How could I sideload apps and games on this rom without using Wonder Sideload Machine?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chaosjh:
exactly, but it happened when i modded the framework, it worked before that so it isn't the rom...i don't think. can anybody e-mail me on how to make a recovery zip, i'll try it that way and maybe stuff won't jackup. thank you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chikou:
follow riral guide using gladenable

[Atrix 4G Android Development] chikou:
For those who lost there apn list you can do the following..

unzip and put in "/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases"

replace telephony.db

this should fix your apn missing
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Alright I asked this a little earlier but got carried away into another conversation so I might as well ask once more when people can notice...but how exactly do I get HDMI mirroring to work? I have Webtop and Entertainment center working fine (except the video thing in the Ent. center, but I don't mind). When I plug my phone in and open the HDMI mirroring app it asks for permission twice but then nothing happens and it gives me some error saying it didn't get permission. What should I do?

kennethpeen thanks for all you done so far.. i dont know if it has been mention before but while using sqlite since it is is GREYBLUR! lolz umm the grey fonts are blended with the background button in sqlite so you cant see the options.. is there a way to use a darke shade of grey so the text would be visible in sqlite?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kitoro:
any1 can help that my sms notification did not ring after i flash this...?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sunshine1982:
interesting thing i found out, i updated to .83 using gladroot to retain root, then decided to install greyblur 2.1 over it to see if it would work. it does work, though unfortunaitly it puts your firmware back to 2.2.1 and .57, but HSUPA is still enabled and working. So i'm looking forward to being able to have this run on 2.2.2 and .83. hopefully it won't be too difficult to update this to run on the .83 update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jpinoy:
That't probably because the build.prop included in GreyGlur still references the 1.5.7 and 2.2.1 release.. essentially overwriting the 1.83 build.prop that reflects the correct version.

from GreyBlur build.prop:

ro.build.id=OLYFR_U4_1.5.7
ro.build.display.id=GreyBlur 2.0
ro.build.version.incremental=1299003836
ro.build.version.sdk=8
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=2.2.1
ro.build.date=Tue Mar 1 09:39:40 PST 2011
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
So that's just a cosmetic issue then right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jpinoy:
I would say so. If you look at the

ro.build.display.id=GreyBlur 2.0

in the build.prop and then check your About Phone in setting, look at Build number, it says GreyBlur 2.0.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sunshine1982:
So is it still running 1.83 but just showing the numbers as 1.57 and 2.2.1? or did certain things revert back to 1.57 while retaining other things, like hsupa? If its just cosmetic then I'm assuming that would be a relatively simple fix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jpinoy:
I haven't looked at the whole thing in build.prop, so can't tell, I know I've read that you had to change a setting for the HDMI and Weptop from conflicting.. So, there might be changes... OP might answer this better since he made the changes to it...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
So what's the compatibility of this with 1.83? I currently am on GreyBlur 2.1, firmware 157, rooted using Riral's Gladroot. Also, what's my upgrade path to 1.83? Do I flash / root / reinstall GreyBlur? Or is this just a matter of flash then root?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sunshine1982:
I haven't checked if the webtop or HDMI mirroring work yet, ill check that later today. As as for the path to update to 1.83, I flashed a fresh 1.26, ran gladroot, updated to 1.57, then updated to 1.83, then ran afterupdate. After that I ran greyblur. From what I can tell I haven't noticed any differences other than I now have hsupa enabled. Anyone know of anything they'd like me to check on?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Wait for Ken to release a Greyblur version based on 1.83
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aywen89:
i flash greyblur 2.1, so far everything works fine, but the webtop entertainment centre cant play movie.every time i press play a movie, got sound comes out but no video.any idea why?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
this has been discussed several times in this thread. you must edit build.prop so that the line that says "ro.hdmi.mirroring=true" to say =false.

try a search in this thread to find how.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
So you're rooted with sideloading enabled and on 1.83 and greyblur is working? It was that easy?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
yeah.

try to open titanium backup and let us know if it grants root access.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyV94:
How many ppl have greyblur running on hsupa? If anyone can, please PM me the steps on how, I live in Indianapolis tho, don't know if ill get the speeds but I still wanna try it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
I can't say for sure but I keep seeing people post as if everything is functioning correctly. Rooted and all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fRenZy-_-:
Ive been having problems with the wifi after flashing greyblur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
You on 1.83?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyV94:
Okay.

I'm running GreyBlur 2.1 and I want the !.83 HSUPA update. How would I do that? will the OTA work? or would i need to do something more?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chaosjh:
it wasn't missing apn's, the moto blur facebook account was left through flashing, but after greyblur, it broke. i had to flash sbf stock, logon motoblur, remove the (now working) facebook sync account, root, update, then flash blur (actually i went with ginger this time). after blur, i resynced to facebook and it was fine. just somethingleft from moto that the rom didn't erase. thanks for everybody's help though, phone running outstanding now! flashed the hsupa spf after blur and now have that too. cheers, and thanks for the awsome work, donation on way.

edit: ok, i'm more broke then i thought so here is a cheap beer, i'll get you a bar pitcher next week. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
this was my upgrade process and I have 1.83 + greyblur running w/ hsupa:

RSD to 1.26 -> gladroot (+enable sideloading option)-> OTA 1.57 -> after update gladroot -> RSD 1.83 -> gingerbreak -> Tenfar's CWM -> backup via cwm -> flash greyblur -> backup via cwm
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seh6183:
Pretty sure you can RSD 1.83 THEN run afterupdate and it will retain root without having to use gingerbreak.

Or you could sbf 1.57 then rsd 1.83 then use gingerbreak.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JdeFalconr:
So most folks in this thread seem to be using RSD or other non-OTA methods to update. Did I miss something? Is there a problem with updating OTA and then running afterupdate.bat to re-root, and then re-flashing GreyBlur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
If you have 1.83 from the OTA and want gingerblur/greyblur or anything else just use Gingerbreak to root and then install Tenfar's CWM and the pseudo-rom of your choice.

I'm not too sure if afterupdate.bat would work though I hear it does. Gingerbreak however is universal and will definitely work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyV94:
did you end up losing all information on your phone? (contacts, etc.)

also, cn you link me to the 1.8.3 sbf file?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
I am LOVING this ROM, but how can I get the old alarm back. I enjoyed having my phone wake me up to my favourite tracks :P
