Oh that is fair enough, I shall keep greyblur until a new gingerblur comes out and then way up my options (:

CONGRATS ON YOUR TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! -for tomorrow-
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mrshowtime:
maybe its just me but the battery indicator kind of looks funny. when there is 70% left the battery indicator appears to show there is less then 50 percent left and when 50 percent s left the battery indicator looks as if there is 20% left. Great work tho
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Check out LauncherPro or ADW Launcher!

Update for everyone: whipped together a nice solid update that I'll release on Tuesday.

- Firefox fonts fix

- Launcher styling increased (yellow button pushes changed to grey, folders headers are grey)

- Launcher animation cut down to zero

- Screen off timeout decreased for battery savings

- Protips fixed

- A bunch of my favorite wallpapers from the Atrix added to the best of the Gingerbread wallpapers in the Launcher

- Checkboxes are brighter
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Okay I'm staying up late and working hard to get this update uploaded for you guys. Enjoy it. Will be online very soon. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Update online.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mrshowtime:
thanks man we really appreciate your hard work and dedication, i will be staying up to install your latest update
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
I think that's the quickest I've ever seen something go from beta to 1.0 xD Thanks heaps!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] illmatic416:
Great work as usual Ken! Does version 1.0 have market version 2.3.6? I installed the beta which had market 2.3.4 and then the update of the market made the Xperia Arc icon version of the market went back to the normal market icon.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Just added to my list of to-do's.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xXxSamxXx:
Edit: Hey Ken this is awesome! Quick question. In the next update could you make it so your favorite pictures have their own folder in the gallery because I like using SPB 3D Launcher. But then I lose access to the awesome wallpapers. Thanks for your time :)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] anirudh15891:
yea i know but i really like the greyblur launcher so i thought that would look cool. I mean its just a suggestion. It will look really COOL!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saar73:
GREAT rom ken !!!

can you please attach the amazing wallpaper so i can use it with Ginger? i will try the new one tomorrow ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mafisometal:
I'd like to say that this ROM is MUCH quicker than gingerblur 1.3, Also i do like the overall feel (animation, text, smoothness), maybe its the text but the phone seems to have a little bit sharper resolution.

Are you by any chance going to work on the webtop (full running linux, customization, etc.)? I'd like to see that since it's a bit of a pain setting it up with the flashing and what not.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ky3bmu4:
Oh damn it looks sexy!

Thx!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Great Rom once again!!

Q about the wifi: if the rom doesn't touch / change any of the core phone settings, how come the wifi shows such great improvement on the reception?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
I think this is a great question also because i somehow have full bars now in my room where as before i only had 1 bar or 2 bars if i was closer to my door =P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zaydaboss:
is there a way to get the gingerblur icons and notifacation bar back? I like everything else but that bout this rom
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rozzco:
I was about to do this and it occurred to me to ask if google maps with navigation could be incorporated into this. I only ask because I had a heck of a time removing the stock maps app in order to install it. If my request is out of line, let me know. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] theoski:
Does GreyBlur fix the problem with HD Entertainment Center not being able to play any videos on the laptop dock or TV?

Thanks,

(??) Just download Maps from the market.

How do I install vloatware zip
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tjjensen23:
Installed Over Gingerblur 1.3. Everything is good except am missing the Messaging application :(

Edit: Sideloaded the messaging.apk from the bloatware file. All is good :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dincodee:
Its mentioned on the previous pages, you have to install it separately. Just flash the zip in on the first page
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dereknas:
I've freezed some services/apps and running rooted 1.57. Will I need to unfreeze first before installing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ky3bmu4:
Installed over Gladiatrix v4.2.3 just perfectly! I like this ROM a lot
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rozzco:
Not that easy. ;) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007132

Notice I said "with navigation".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jthornton71707:
Can someone please advise me. I flashed this over ginger blur without an sbf because I need some of my text messages for court in a month. Everything went fine. Now it boots up and just freezes after booting. Screen will be on for about 15 seconds then go black. No boot loop just unresponsive. Is theme any way to go back to recovery to re flash or do I absolutely have to wipe and erase everything. I really need the info on my phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frankiedizzle87:
The phone doesn't start at all? Or just the messaging app. I flashed over gingerblurr and I was fine and smooth
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
I would definitely unfreeze the apps
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Don't know what you mean mate, I have full map features on my phone. Every time I've flashed the SBF & installed a rom the market asks to download the latest Maps. Install & off I go; navigation & the works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
hmm. It seems I've got both AOSP text messaging and Blue text messaging at the same time. running "Texas Messaging" launches the blur version. going the long way by opening the Messaging app that lets me choose between Text Messaging and Gmail gets me the AOSP version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Don't restore using Titanium Backup. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
I have the same problem, without restoring from titanium.

Well, no aosp app, just the blur one.

Swyped from my Motorola Atrix 4g using XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madquack:
This GreyBlur kicks total ass. So fast, quick and responsive. Even faster when you turn off or make the animations quicker in SpareParts.

My only gripe, after flashing sbf 1.2.6 then rooting and updating to 1.5.7 and installing GreyBlur, I wasn't able to get on the internet without wifi. After 3 reboots, the internet finally worked.

Shrug.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
Finally got it to work. I eventually just ended up reinstalling CWM, and then it worked.

Very neat rom! I'm enjoying it quite a bit. No complaints or issues here
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
I am a GingerBlur 1.3 user currently, I was wondering A) do you have about the same type of options and stuff like from there in this one? B) whats different other then the look? C) which do you suggest/think is better? cuz I love how you add more options and settings over the stock version which is just crap if you ask me. thanks for all your work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Then it isn't the same problem at all. GreyBlur inludes the stock Motorola texting application and Universal Inbox application. ;) It does not include the Gingerbread Mms app.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
That wasn't a bug. HDMI mirroring borks the Entertainment Center. Simply edit the build.prop to change hdmi mirroring to false. I'll make an easier way in the future.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
Doh silly me. Should I just install the messages apk from ginger blur or is there a different process than that?

Swyped from my Motorola Atrix 4g using XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daweeze02:
Installed over gingblur and it works perfect thanks.

I do have one question though, how in the world do you have blur phones stop pulling all other contacts from gmail. I only want it to pull my contacts I created with numbers not every single email...example the 634 contacts that gmails creates in the OTHER category.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RootPhisher:
Anyone have issues with this ROM not pulling contact pictures down from FB?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
Does anyone else have battery issues with this? I was getting ~12-15 hours with Gingerblur 1.3, but after using Greyblur today I'm at 20% after 4.5 hours.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
Might be a buggy install. Try reflashing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MacAlert:
Not sure if it's different in GreyBlur....open Contacts>Menu>More>Settings. First option is "Phone numbers only."
[Atrix 4G Android Development] vjoom:
I also forgot to unfreeze before applying the update. I got lot of issue. Had to restore, unfreeze and apply update. Now it work great.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Anyway to get a more accurate battery
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
I'm sorry but you shouldn't have jeopardized important info even if it was confirmed to be a problem.

Good luck restoring the data.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daweeze02:
Yea I did this but it still seems to show over 600 contacts, I wish I could just remove the entire blur framework lol. I only want gmail to sync with the group My Contacts but from what I see this is just an annoying blur thing I guess.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
Anyone else having problems with the internet crashing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
If you do switch up launchers? I definetly would go with go launcher EX it is extremely fast with this rom and is better then adw and launcher pro! imho :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fsturbo15:
Yes, once.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] INSM Sin:
Ok, so i'm running gingerblur and its ok to flash this over it? And after i flash is it ok to take the .zip files off of my sd card?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jthornton71707:
The phone boots up. Goes to the Motorola screen then the grey blur screen then boots up and says installing fingerprint reader but is unresponsive then when the screen timeout happens 15 seconds later it goes black. I don't think its off its just unresponsive. I had some people try to call me as well and the phone didn't light up of anything... What can I do here
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
One last problem. I got a hold of the bloat restore zip, since I like my status feeds from facebook. My only problem is, I can't set the widget lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
meh. go launcher sux. i prefer launcher pro by far.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Would anyone mind posting the wallpaper (too lazy to sbf :P) and post a screenshot of the messaging. How's it look? Like the conversations on stock or similar to gingerblur

Sent from my GladiAtrix ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
I tried go launcher for about a day, didn't like it at all. Launcher pro is the one I always go back to.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slayu:
I tried launcher pro multiple times, but I always fall back to go launcher.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
unfortunately it seems to be like stock conversations. I like the way it looks, but the main drawback imo is when you look at pictures sent via MMS it only shows it as a slide show.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
if anyone is interested I created a couple custom icons to go with the rest that Ken made. They are for the Marketplace and Gmail. They are attached here. I believe ken is working on updating one or both of them for the next release but I could be wrong. However, if you can't wait here they are. And, I dont know how to use them except for using ADW launcher.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricko2169:
Installed this and it's very good so early in! Thankyou!

I do have white on white menus in Root Explorer though, anyone else?

The other problem I have may not be ROM related, but i extracted the Blur Alarm Clock APK out of the bloatware zip when I run it i get an "application not installed" message. I have tried running it from my SD Card and the Internal Phone Memory.

Can i remove the APK's I dont want out of the Zip and flash it through recovery?

I only really want the alarm clock as I like the options in Motorola alarm clock.

EDIT: Answered my APK question by deleting everything I didnt want from the bloatware zip and flashing it through recovery. Worked a Charm :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MacAlert:
If I read the instructions carefully, you need to install through CWM. Don't know about your other question though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Yeah I agree. I don't get why everyone likes launcher pro so much better. I mean you cant even resize a friggin widget unless you go plus! I used to use LP alot but since I tried go launcher. I prefer that way more it even has its own built in task manager. Shows what progs are running with the option to kill it an seems very fast and smooth. Oh well to each their own!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xXxSamxXx:
I know a lot of people keep talking about which launcher to use with this theme...and I'd have to say SPB 3D Launcher is the most beautiful. Its a little expensive but definetily worth the money. It has a 3D carassell which makes switching between homescreens super easy,smooth, and above all else beautiful. As well as absolutely amazing Widgets, that pop out in carassel mode. A must have for those looking for a unique look to their phone that no one else has.

Just my 2 cents

This thing looks great... just dont know if i can do it just yet... :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
ok kinda stupid noob question I know, but if I flash GreyBlur on my atrix and then install Go Launcher EX, that will end up making my phone run 2 different launchers right? so doesn't that kill my battery / use up more ram? is there a way to make just Go Launcher EX be the only one running? and those who use it have they found that it kills their battery or slows their phone down or glitch on them at all?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
If you have the paid version of Titanium you can freeze the stock launcher. Other apps like Bloat Freeze have this function too. Once it is frozen it will not take up any resources.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gzrecoil:
LMAO. I was like wow this guy seriously ripped Kenneth's whole post, mod, everything, etc. Than I was like.. Wait, it is Kenneth LOL. I will install in a couple days, don't have time to flash right now. Can't wait to try.

Or do I have time? Sigh... lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
ok sweet ty, I found an app called AntTek App Mana that is free that can freeze apps, so trying that out, looks like it works... I'll have to try out the Go Launcher EX with the other launcher frozen and see how my battery lasts, looks pretty cool so far and seems to run well not really slowing anything down.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
Hmm, I was at my piano lesson and suddenly my Atrix rebooted itself in my pocket (the SD card mount tone went off). Not sure why, if it happens again I'll post and hopefully will have more details as to the reason o:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
Ahh I was going to wait to change over from Gingerblur until I felt like backing everything up and flashing a new sbf, but after reading about the wifi fix I'm just gonna flash over GB :) I'll post results tomorrow. Thanks for another rom Ken!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dudeman Broguy:
I'm not sure if you can get back into recovery, though I'd think there should be some way. Hopefully someone can help you out. Assuming this is the case, I'd very highly recommend you download "SMS Backup +" immediately after and backup all of your messages.

It syncs with your Gmail account and allows you to restore back to the phone if they are lost. Great app to have when your phone is acting up and you need to keep important data like that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dplakosh:
Same problem I had. Currently am wiping everything to try to fix it.......couldnt get anything else to work. It wasnt even responsive in webtop mode even being able to see the lock screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] byrddogx:
This made my tax day a little brighter.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
any way to get the MMS app that gingerblur used? would be nice since it doesn't force slide show when viewing pictures from MMS.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Use Go SMS Pro or Handcent, much better than stock and the gingerblur messaging apps in my opinion..test them and see if you like :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stephgre:
Very good

I installed greyblur, it is very good and very rapid.

I have a question with the hdmi mirror, when you want to play a game how do you do, i have test the media center is in landscape on my tv but when i choose nothing and that i saw the desktop of the phone, it is in portrait and i can't change to landscape, how do you do that ?

thanks

steph
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bova:
The home button does not act, it does nothing.

I've done a hard reset and it does not work.

Any solution?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Instead of including a new launcher, don't you think it might be better just to have a greyblur/gingerblur 'theme' for launcher pro, adw, etc. that people can use. If you include a launcher by default, you might run into issues with people who have purchased launcher pro plus for example.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Because supporting the developer with 2.99 for plus is such a bad thing. Launcher Pro is by far the best launcher, and is well worth 2.99.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MiteMouse:
The unsuccessful update symbol is all gray that it disappear in the status area. Any body see it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
I don't really get why people think go launcher is better either. Just cause it's free? It does the same things people and it also has a crappier app drawer. Theres no difference really at all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] illmatic416:
I wouldn't say that is true. You can freeze VoiceCommands in Titanium, but it will still be running as a background process. The only way to really shut it down is to rename it with .bak to the end it(VSuite.apk) in /system/app and then it's done. However, you will need to do this either through adb or do a battery pull after doing it in root explorer because it will cause a crash loop.

Experimenting with shutting down background processes and apps I don't need or want, I've pretty much cutout MotoBlur to the smallest degree. Playing around with the Atrix and Gingerblur, I think i've eliminated 40 more .apks on top of what Ken has done in the bloatware file and got it running base(no webtop/dock/hdmi mirroring/social networking)...just Google services syncing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dell2:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this process just took me two hours to complete. Flashing back to 4.1.26, rooting then updating is time consuming.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
Installing GreyBlur over GingerBlur 1.3 went very smoothly...no quirks at all so far. Only Swype was installed out of the gate, but that may have been intentional (I thought I read somewhere that it was supposed to be the multi-touch moto keyboard, maybe not though!) but a quick flash of the GingerBread keyboard .zip fixed that quickly. Everything on GreyBlur looks really sharp, the animations are great, the fonts and icons are really slick. Performance seems a lot better now too, and I guess time will tell what's going on with battery life. And last but not least, my wi-fi has improved significantly, always four bars in both my primarily locations I use it in (where I got 1 and 3 before, respectively). Time will tell if I like the style better than GingerBlur though; I love the look of stock Gingerbread. I will at least be keeping this until the performance fixes make their way over to GingerBlur though :) (sucks that I can't use the GB abbreviation anymore, that the abbreviation for both!!). Anyway, sorry for the long post, just wanted to share my experience. Thanks for another great ROM Ken!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gzrecoil:
A re-boot helped someone above with the keyboard issue. Glad you were able to get it working.

Only issue I have is that I cannot read the notifications "number". As in, how many new messages I have waiting from the notifications tab. It is very hard to see.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] coldfusionb:
I have a cardock and the music player button will not work when the phone is dock any way to fix this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Should only take about 30 minutes. Are you using a slow computer? The 1.26 SBF flash can take a while on slow hardware.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
No issues with battery life on my end. Got about 24 hours of use yesterday. Which is on par with gingerblur
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NoNameAtAll:
Just loaded this. It's incredibly classy.

Only thing I need to do is reload the old Music player. The CarDock application doesn't like not having it, so I kinda need that. :P

And I know the calendar widget is broken. But is there any good substitute for it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
Smooth Calendar has a nice widget that seems to be the preferred replacement

Hi,

I just got an Atrix from VIVO, here in Brazil (it launched yesterday).

How do I know if it is compatible with this customizations? I am worried because you mentioned that the Bell version is not.

I have had many WinMo and one Android phone and am very comfortable with using custom roms, the software versions shown in the system information are:

System Version: Blur_Version.0.50.0.MB860.Vivo.en.BR

Model: MB860

Android Version: 2.2.2

Baseband: N_01.77.07P

Webtop: OSHWT_U1_6.43.0

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Version Number: OLYLA_U4_0.50.0

Thank you very much to anyone who can help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Android 2.2.2, interesting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
Unfortunately this will only be compatible with 4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US :( And I would not try to experiment unless you get the okay from kennethpenn; I have seen at least one Bell user try to load an earlier ROM and and soft brick his phone without an .sbf to load back to stock. Once there is an .sbf released for your phone's firmware, there will be more experimentation by developers, so just hang tight!
