kenneth.

any chance of updating this ROM to 4.1.83?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slayu:
So, can anyone tell me what exactly to edit in build.prop file please to prevent getting OTA updates on 1.83? I tried searching around but I couldn't find it.

Just getting annoyed with the OTA popups. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyV94:
Actually, my phone rebooted itself after I clicked install by accident, and while it was rebooting with the exclamation android Guy, I pulled the battery, never got another OTA update notification after that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jpinoy:
Change these:

ro.build.id=OLYFR_U4_1.8.3

ro.build.version.release=2.2.2

ro.build.date=Mon Apr x xx:xx xxxx(change this to your 1.8.3 date from your original build.prop)

ro.build.description=olympus-user 2.2.2 OLYFR_U4_1.8.3 1301957996 ota-rel-keys,release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/olyatt/olympus/olympus:2.2.2/OLYFR_U4_1.8.3/1301957996:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US

Basically, copy over any info from your original build.prop to the build.prop in the theme that points to 1.5.7 and 2.2.1

good luck...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trd91whtmk3:
Hey guys, new to the forum and fully enjoying my rooted atrix with Greyblur! Thanks to all of you for your knowledge on such a great system.

That being said, I'm having an issue... I rooted from 1.83 and also had to remove the battery after trying the failed OTA update and ever since my power button isn't working properly.

When holding the power button the phone instantly reboots without showing the "power off, reboot, airplane mode, etc." screen. This isn't a MAJOR issue but it is really starting to get annoying when I forget.

Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas?

Also, it says in "About Phone" that I am running Greyblur 2.0, is there an easy way to update to 2.1? Is it necessary?

Thanks for your input guys!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
I think I may have heard someone else saying they were having that reboot issue, think its just a buggy install. Forget how he fixed it. I'd try reinstalling greyblur through CWM, then if that doesn't work you'll have to do either a factory reset or an SBF flash, either way at that point you're losing all your data. Don't know what else you can try really.

Also, the part saying its 2.0 is just an accident, ken did a REALLY quick update just to fix the installer (making this v2.1) but he forgot to update the file to make your about section say 2.1 in his fixing of that issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trd91whtmk3:
Thanks for the quick response! I'm assuming re-installing GreyBlur will keep all my current preferences/settings?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
yes it will, SBF/factory won't though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] opsahl:
super hot and error?

Twice since I've transitioned to greyblur (twice in... 1.5 weeks?) I've awoke to find my phone on the android with the exclamation symbol, and it's hot as hell under/below my SDcard. Battery pull and reboot fixes, but the heat makes me very nervous.

Anyone had the same experience, or thoughts on fixes? Love Greyblur, but it's def not worth burning up my phone over. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blancNoir:
ken just wanted to say these window transition animations are so damn slick.. I love how the notification pull down is transparent too.i was running gingerblur for a long time but the animations and style on grey blur has me won over. awesome!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
You know you can get the transparent notification bar, and keep the GingerBlur 3.1 I am with you on the transparent bar and transitions but I got bored with the monotonous colors of GreyBlur pretty quick. I used CWM Recovery to put additional theme over GingerBlur that had transparent bar, etc.

-- Sent from Motorola Atrix --
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blancNoir:
how can I get the transparent notification bar and animations from greyblur into gingerblur? also I really like the font in greyblur as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kufel:
Motorola Task Manager

Grey Blur mod removes all the bloatware including the Motorola Task Manager. The problem is that I find it to be simply the best one of ALL!!! Any way to get the .apk for this uploaded here? It is not present on the Market....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Task managers aren't recommended with android 2.2 or higher because of the way it manages tasks on its own.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
any word on an updated greyblur??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I just browsed through the Themes in this forum...run them as usual (.zip) file with CWM, most of them have screen shots. I like the 'Matted Blue' over GingerBlur 3.1 myself...has a different looking transparent slider and nice redone icons for the bar.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] toddran1:
Update please
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trd91whtmk3:
Download the bloatware zip and install from recovery, I agree the Moto Task Killer seems to be by far the best... also saves a TON of battery! I noticed a HUGE drain after installing GreyBlur compared to the standard motorola stuff and as soon as i re-installed the task killer it made a big difference.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trd91whtmk3:
I think I found an EASY solution:

After the phone reboots to install and you get the android exclamation symbol, tap on the bottom of the screen, it will pull up a menu, tap reboot now and thats it!

Did this yesterday and I haven't had the download notification popup yet...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
I guess this isn't going to be updated any time soon..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trd91whtmk3:
Nevermind on my previous post. It seemed to work fine until I woke up this morning with a burning hot device on the error screen :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] intimnasc:
My guess is Greyblur has been abandoned. As far as your het issues are you installing on .83 or .57? Greyblur was made for .57 and I'm not sure you will get it to work properly on .83.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
I hope kenneth hasnt abandoned greyblur..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gvndeb60:
Works fine on. 83. Only issue is it keeps prompting you to update but there is a work around for that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ferntex:
Works fine for me too...1.83
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
it does that because it is designed for 4.1.57
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fventura03:
anyway to disable the OTA update that keeps popping up every hour on my device? it's been really bugging me and it won't install either...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ears1991:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13604274&postcount=5 is an easy way of doing it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] male6363@hotmail.com:
is there any possibility to put more languages... such as turkish in to this ROM?

thanks for your answer
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fventura03:
amazing, thanks, will do this once i get on a PC !
[Atrix 4G Android Development] skimchee:
easiest way is to install titanium backup from market, and use it to freeze system process "Updater 2.2.1"

I had the exact same issue and it's been two days now and no OTA update popup notifications anymore.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ultra Droid:
I did that on my Atrix, but used Bloat Freezer, a free download from the market. It worked to get rid of the nagging OTA update notifications.

-Mike
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fventura03:
i have 3.5 installed, amazing stuff, no problems except when i select the "tethering apn" it stays there for 5 seconds, then bounces back to the "hsdpa phone apn", the tether is working but I dont want to get charged...

is this working how it should?

my speed:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
I wish I knew how to fix it to where it is for the right version 4.1.83.

I'm surprised he abandoned this. it's an amazing pseudo rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] razorseal:
Is this pretty much the same thing as gingerblur?

I ask because I'm stuck at bootload w/gingerlur so...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dudeman Broguy:
As far as features are concerned, yes.

I do prefer the style of GreyBlur, however, especially after using it for a few days now. I'd love to see some more updates. I'm hoping Ken hasn't abandoned it completely, as some in here seem to be suggesting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Binnyk:
I reverted to Gingerblur 3.5 and Changed my font to match the greyblur font from CWM_FONTS. I believe this one here might be dead.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dudeman Broguy:
That, my good sir, is an absolutely fantastic idea.

Silly as it seems, I've grown to greatly enjoy the font on GreyBlur. I'd hate to go back to stock at this point. Now it seems I won't have to. Many thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] grncivic2001:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] intimnasc:
At least update whether or not you intend on staying up with Greyblur. If not I don't mind looking at other ROMs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dudeman Broguy:
Well, just speaking for myself, I'd say this is pretty feature packed as it is. I love the work that Ken has done with this, and I appreciate it so much. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I'd like to see him add to it, feature wise.

My only issue with it is the nagging OTA update notifications.

Ken, it'd be great if you could a slight update, just to show that GreyBlur 2.1 IS, in fact, running on the 1.83 firmware. That's my only issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dav0:
...nice ROM, dude. Thank you:

Already ported GreyBlur, testing...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
good luck with that amigo. he's pretty much left greyblur to the vultures. lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
the problem is that it ISN'T based off 1.8.3 firmware, you can install it on 1.8.3 because none of the changes conflict, but it's based off 1.5.7

to disable OTA notifications, freeze the process called "Updater 2.2.1" with TiBu
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:
I would prefer it to be running on 1.83.

if there is anyone that can pick up where he left off and fix it, plz do.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
If your phone updated to 1.83 then it is running that firmware. What he's saying is the files Greyblurr changes are still compatible with 1.83 even though they were developed around 1.57.

The reason you are getting the OTA update notice is because your build.prop tells it that its 1.57. There is a post with what to edit on that to fix it, but it was just easier for everyone to disable the updater. It's no secret when updates come out and you will have to get back to a stock phone to get them anyway.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xx0505xx:
Hey guys I just made a video tutorial on the installation process of the custom rom either gingerblur or greyblur. On the video it basically explains the install process once your phone has been rooted so make sure your phone is rooted. If your phone is not rooted you cannot install this custom rom.

[YOUTUBE]MvC0C2h95BY&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL[/YOUTUBE]

in the video description it will tell you where to get all of the download files necessary in order to install the custom rom.

This video was actually intended for those "noobs" who wanted a visual guide that are too lazy or didn't feel like reading the entire thread.

If you guys have requests on what videos I should make regarding the motorola atrix please feel free to ask and I will try to make as much tutorials/guides as possible.

Thank you to everyone who watches and if you guys like you can always subscribe, rate, comment, favorite the video etc...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] intimnasc:
Great video man only correction I have is some of us are a much older generation and not too lazy to read through how to do these things but more nervous trying it without seeing it. Alot of the tutorials not on video assume what you guys consider common knowledge steps and thus for a true noob (points at self) makes them a little intimidating. Your video is awesome and I'll probably use it tonight. My only suggestion on future videos is go all the way back to 1.26 and go all the way up to 1.83 including rooting, sideloading, and anything else these folks have accomplished.

By the way I too donated to Ken and donate to anyone as courteous and helpful as he was in PM's. I also try to donate more than most because I realise many of my questions are noobier than most.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xx0505xx:
I actually have other videos that I made that teach you how to downgrade to 4.1.26 doing a fresh SBF flash if you check out my channel. I figured it would be way too long of a video to teach how to downgrade, root, then install the custom rom so I just seperated it into 3 videos.

Good afternoon... I recently got the Atrix coming from a Captivate.. i've just rooted the phone and getting everything ready.. I am debating putting Greyblur or Gingerblur on and wondering which users are recommending? From reading this post, it appears that the OP isn't really supporting this anymore and since I am on 1.83 I am wondering if I should go with gingerblur?? any thoughts on which would be "recommended" ??

Appreciate any comments.

Thanks

Zug
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
I recommend Ginger Blur 4 cause its got more features and if you really want different color schemes you can just flash the the many different ones available in the themes section. I currently have GB4 with the Cool Blue theme flashed over it w my own custom font and I really like it! Dontforget to make a backup before flashing so that way you don't have to keep reflashing the SBFfiles to get back to a clean stock 1.8.3 SBF.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] trd91whtmk3:
This message has been deleted.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] conandoyle:
anyone knows it's based on 2.2 or 2.3?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
Its based on 2.2 because the atrix does not have an unlocked bootloader so we are stuck with whatever kernel motorola provides us.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
2.2, there is no public 2.3 available yet, and it's still in beta.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ViperFUD:
I only have 4 APNs on my list; tether doesn't work. Any advice?

I have 1.83 ...

My Install:

Stock ROM -> Restore Factory Settings -> Wipe SD memory -> Gingerbreak -> Greyblur

Do I have to go back to 1.57 (or whatever the latest SBF we have is), redo root from the beginning, and then install OTAs followed by GreyBlur at the end?

Thanks.

EDIT:

In addition, two questions:

1. Is anyone monitoring this MOD anymore?

2. Ad blocking: This doesn't appear to modify the /etc/hosts file; how does it block ads? I ask because it's blocking a site i want enabled ... thanks. NVM, was in /system/etc/hosts

i installed this from the website and it says i have 2.0 installed in my phone info. is it supposed to say that? thought it was supposed to be 2.1.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
It is 2.1, 2.1 just fixed an installation bug and Ken just didn't change the version number to 2.1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stratax:
haha okay, thanks. i thought it messed up or something cause it said in the changes that the market was themed.. mine is green?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stratax:
i am getting a error "text message not recieved".. i cant get mms now. it worked before i flashed this.

edit: fixed it by putting in tmobile APN settings.

hi, is there anyone who are using opera browser with greyblur?

I had been able to play flash contents with opera browser before, but after I've installed greyblur, it cant' play flash.

I think the plugin path in "opera:config" page is incorrect because nothing is in default path (data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer).

So the path has to be changed, but I can't find correct path. I've searched folders which include "adobe" and "flash" in folder name, but all of them were not work.

Where is flash player in Greyblur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fRenZy-_-:
@kenneth can you update this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nalomo:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] nathan96:
Isnt it too outdated ? what is wrong with cyanogenmod 7.2 ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Houseplant:
This doesn't require an unlocked bootloader so it's not really comparable to Cyanogen 7.2. I ran this when I first got my Atrix. Loved it to death.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nathan96:
Nice...the first thing i did was to unlock ! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aaurnab:
Hi kenn, can you update your work....it is nice work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nathan96:
I am not Kenn ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
This was a froyo ROM (2.2) with much gb injected, before moto released gingerbread (2.3) and before the bootloader was unlocked. At that time gingerblur (same dev) had more activity and more frequent updates, but still froyo. When moto released gingerbread (gb), another wave of devs popped up and to be honest, gb is BETTER than froyo. There's a great gb rom that is based on moto and believe it is derived from bell, so if you are looking for a non cm, I would start there and you will get a completely optimized pure gb rom with moto at the core. CM7 is gb from scratch (not moto). Also, very good, very minimal issues. If you are willing to bleed a bit, look at cm9 (Ice cream Sandwich 4.0) by jokersax or cm10 (Jelly Bean 4.1) by ep......... But be prepared for increasing bugs with each (respectively).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
I dont know what you did with the wifi on this but?? Its the strongest signal I've ever seen on my atrix and I used to have problems with gingerblurs wifi! I'd only get one bar on gingerblur, on stock I get 2, and on greyblur I get 3-5 bars!!! Very impressed!! Thanks!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frankiedizzle87:
I second that
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frankiedizzle87:
I know that.I'm just saying its there any diff difference since I cant see the feature screen side by side

flashing grey blur............
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
Hey guys, this might be more of a CWM issue then a Greyblur issue. I went to flash Greyblur through CWM, and it started up ok. But an hour later I came back and it was still on the "installing greyblur.zip" screen, and the bar at the bottom was completely frozen. Any ideas what to do? Pull the battery? Or will that brick it? Thanks a lot! I'm on IRC too
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
The features list has all of the modifications and changes listed... not just themed differences. I do not remember all of the differences by heart.

Very odd. Must be a CWM hiccup... I'd simply pull battery and reboot. Worst possible scenario = flash SBF.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Glad it's working well for you!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lesonal:
grey blur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love It!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
Kenn deserves the props, but you have to keep in mind that a lot of people use the XDA app. You can't thank people with that.

I have to hop on the PC to thank people, something I do far less now thanks to my Atrix and these new roms.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lesonal:
Thanks kenn! and hey how would one go about changing the h+ icon into a grey 4g icon?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fsturbo15:
Nice of you to keep up your work with the atrix.

I agree that whatever you did to improve the wifi signal worked great.

Before, even though my laptop had a full wifi signal, my phone would only pickup 1 bar, 2 at the most.

Now the signal is great.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Ok I definetly see your point but there is no way all 50 to 60 people are posting from there atrixes! So let me correct myself if you are posting from your pc click the damn thanks button! :D

The way he's got this wifi working alone! Should have all of us lined up to kiss his ass!! LOL really Kenn may be in line for the god of the atrix award!!! My jaw dropped when I seen that wifi boost its freakin amazing!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
Fair enough. Thank the man damn it! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fsturbo15:
My first bug I have experienced is when using the new messaging shortcut which includes the universal inbox, text messaging, and facebook messages shorts cuts, the facebook will not sync and state account error or motoblur not synced.

I third that! Before gretblur I had horrible a wifi signal, but now it is perfect. Ken what did you do?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Any chance you could add a hide apps feature in the next build? Then I wont need any other launcher at all!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Probably not possible. Might switch things up with a different launcher on a future release.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
this may or may not have been asked before however will you bring these features and modifications to gingerblur? I like the gingerbread look, but I will soon be flashing this theme (over the top) for the modfications you've done such as transparent notifications or wifi boost.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Transparent notifications isn't coming to GingerBlur, because GingerBlur respects the Vanilla AOSP Android look. But, I will be bringing this exact same feature set to GingerBlur very soon. Shouldn't take long to make.

Tomorrow is my two-year anniversary, so I'm going to be MIA all day. Then I'll be back to work on this stuff. :)
