can I install the blurfix to 2.11 sbf stock instead of the greyblur? so i can get the speed tweaks. Im on bell so from what ive read greyblue still isnt an option.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
the whole point of this thread is how to get greyblur on your phone, bell phone or not...

by flashing 2.1.1 you stop having a "Bell" phone and your phone becomes an international phone, with nothing but positive changes in performance. Adding GreyBlur over this simply adds compatibility between your international phone and the AT&T version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
So this flash is to turn a "Bell" Atrix phone into an International Atrix phone?

Is there something to turn an "AT&T" Atrix phone into an International phone as well? Cause I live in the Netherlands and currently using some "locale"-mod to change some settings in the Dutch language along with international phone number display.

//sidenote

Will this phone ever be released in Europe (and in particular the Netherlands). If yes, would I be able to flash my AT&T Atrix phone with a European flash? Or is that simply impossible?

I would appreciate a fully Dutch phone. The dictionary and word guess cannot be used now, for my language. :S

Hello again.... Can I install the GingerBlur 3.15 on my ex Bell Atrix that has now the French SBF. I read there was a bug and that you would post a way to fix it, but I didn't see nothing yet.... By the way, how is your project going?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
You can install it fine if you install another pseudo rom first. That way you don't need to factory reset
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
are you saying I can flash gingerblur 3.5 on top of 3.1 with no issues? 7 implied otherwise, but maybe i misunderstood...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Provided you've installed any rom before and set up motoblur then you're good to install it. I have it right now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
Thanks, going to try it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Just after doing 3.5 don't hard reset, since it borks motoblur. You won't have to if you do another one first
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
worked perfect, thanks

Please I need help.

My phone with me from last week and it doesn't have Arabic language.

I found two guides, but they didn't work with me !

It is very difficult to follow it:

1-http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/6865-how-use-adb-all-commands-options.html

2-http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

I appreciate your patience with me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
if you're using windows 7, then the easiest way to do this is place the "SevensDeodex" folder on your desktop, and then right-click on the folder and select "open command prompt here".

after that type "adb shell" a new line should show up starting with "$"

type in "su" and (assuming you're rooted correctly) a prompt should show up on your phone, at which point you press "allow" on your phone's screen. then type the rest of the commands included in the deodex section of the first page of this thread
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ambitious Man:
I am using Windows Vista & XP

Thank you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
if you press shift and right-click the folder you should have the option to open command prompt in that folder.

otherwise type "cd C:\path\to\folder" then do what i said previously
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ambitious Man:
It works with shift, but I got error message:

I appreciate your help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
A) you're phone is not plugged in

B) You're phone is plugged but not in USB debugging mode

OR

C) Make sure you plug in your phone and let the drivers install properly then make sure USB debugging is enabled and then retry the whole deal.

Sorry I've been absent guys. I bought an Acer Iconia A500 Honeycomb tablet today... freakin thing is BEAST. Gonna have to divide dev time between this and the Iconia.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ambitious Man:
Thanks for everybody
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
My take on Xoom vs Iconia vs Transformer

Motorola Xoom has way too many quality issues.

I work with these in my work place.

Its nice that its similar to the Atrix in terms of modding and dev stuff but its got pretty horrible build quality.

Also, on the other hand the Transformer has some serious quality issues too as I was planning on getting that but you pay the price for buying stuff too cheap. (Just go to the asus forums, made me pretty sad actually) 2 USB ports but not fully functional USB host.

Xoom's back is plastic fail, Iconia = Aluminum backplate.

The speakers = Xoom failure. Iconia speakers are incredibly crisp and sound amazing. The dolby virtual features are actually quite good.

The Xoom also has some pretty strange features missing too (usb host, SD card anyone? hdmi output sucks balls) and even at 3.1, performs pretty sluggishly compared to the Iconia (3.0.1)

The Iconia on the other hand outperforms the Xoom at 1.5Ghz while remaining at 1.0Ghz.. just check the benchies. Its mainly the DDR3 RAM, 32gb SSD and and actual working USB host made me choose it over the Xoom...

I was fortunate enough to get to see them side by side, both Verizon version, and Wifi Xoom and the Iconia. Just navigating the whole interface feels a lot smoother and despite the TFT panel (vs IPS which is better), the panel is straight up sick in terms of display, its soooo clean.

That and the fact thats its cheaper and you get better build quality made me decide :)

There are a lot of Acer haters out there and I was one of them but I definately was not disappointed with this buy.

Now, how can I know if it Deodexed or not ?

What is the process to go from Greyblur 2.1 to Gingerblur 3.5? Must I go to stock 2.1.1 first? Or do I follow the whole process from beginning to end again except use gingerblur 3.5 instead?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
you can just install the GingerBlur 3.5 CWM package right over 2.1

that's what I did, all settings and everything saved, you don't even need to hard reset after installing like you do the first time
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Barogi44:
Awesome! Thankss! :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
in fact don't do it or you will run into the startup issue mentioned in the OP.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
yes, if you hard reset you will get that bug, but if this is not your first pseudo-rom then you don't need to hard reset and should be good.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dascope:
I'm on GreyBlur 2.1 - I never tried GingerBlur - how is it compared to GreyBlur 2.1? Should I make the jump? Can I just reflash GreyBlur 2.1 on top of GingerBlur 3.5? No hard reset needed or anything? (In case I prefer GreyBlur to GingerBlur and want to remove GingerBlur)

Does GingerBlur add anything new compared to GreyBlur, or it's just a different theme?

Appreciate the input!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ambitious Man:

The only question I have is why the fook I didn't install it ages ago? Its so much faster than stock!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
because you spent so much time flashing that 1.4.2's dumb radio over 0.37.8 and you were so busy worrying about warranty and all that mess. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:

Dear seven,

And everything awesome except the battery :(

It does not stay 14 hours or 16 with medium working :confused:

Is there any fix for it?

I appreciate your help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Reset your battery stats. There is a thread on here on how to do so.

Thank you so much.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thegregulator:
I think Odin was the tool used to flash roms onto the Samsung Galaxy line of phones so I wouldn't read too much into that. All you should have to do is kill your battery, charge it until it's full, take it off the charger for a few minutes, put it back on and charge it until it's full again, boot into clockwork recovery using the system recovery app in the app drawer (while your phone is plugged in), scroll down to advanced using the volume up/down keys, and click wipe battery stats. Hopefully that takes care of your problem!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ambitious Man:
What about this app :

Battery Calibration ?

Thank you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thegregulator:
I've never used it, but I've never had to. I took a quick look on appbrain and it seemed to get favourable reviews. You can try it if you want, but I'd be just as inclined to do it through recovery mode.

I so badly want to install this France SBF but the fact that Atrix got released in Canada earlier than any other countries (except for US of course) bothers me. Because the same might happen for updates, no? Moto's second top priority for updates might be Bell Canada and flashing to a France SBF might delay OTAs. Is my concern right? What do you think?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
I would assume that as soon as Bell releases an OTA update someone would be able to isolate and upload it so that anyone could download and update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
that would be correct.

I wouldn't hold your breath though. Bell and Rogers are horrible at holding back updates since the whole point of updates are to keep the new devices on edge to encourage people to buy new phones.

This is the biggest downer of the Android Market fragmentation.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tonywalker:
Guys, I really have a problem.

My Atrix is a Brazillian Atrix (Base OLYLA U4 0.50.0). I followed the entire tutorial and flash the 2.2.1 SBF (I'm not using none of the custom rom like Greyblur).

The phone is working great but, there is a serious problem on the radio.

If I choose the 2G only the phone stay on "Emergency Mode". And if I choose 3G only ou automatic, the connection is switching between 3G, H and Disconnected, again and again.. :( The signal is also very, very weak.

I put my SIM card on my old Milestone and its ok.

I've searched but found no solution.

Can someone help me please, or upload the original OLYLA U4 0.50.0?

I think for now I will use the original SBF "if" possible.

Hey People,

I have made a full backup with the recovery before applying the French SBF, but I am needing to go back to the stock rom to check some things. Can I restore the full backup I made through recovery over the french sbf? Will it restore completely the previous state of my phone or something of the new sbf will remain as we still not have a complete recovery framework?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Recovery = same as nothing.

Only real way to go back to stock is SBF.

it loads and gets stuck at around 75%.... do i need to add that before i do all the customization? :(

any help would be great... :)

yeah on grey/gingerblur i found editing motoblur accounts to have similar trouble, so make sure its all set up as you want it before you flash them i guess

Anyone know how to get by the bug when fresh installing gingerblur 3.5 over stock 2.1.1? Seven seems to have not posted the work around.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thegregulator:
I installed greyblur first, did the setup, and then installed gingerblur 3.5 over top of greyblur.. that seemed to work for me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
yup, that's the best way right now.

greyblur/3.1 or earlier gingerblur, then hard reset, choose "setup" on first boot, configure motoblur, then upgrade to gingerblur 3.5 without a hard reset, all settings will be maintained and everything will work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] danial.aw:
yep the same thing worked for me... just dont wipe settings when u install gingerblur over greyblur...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I am running Greyblur over the French 2.1.1 sbf and using the Cool Blue theme on my Bell Atrix.

Would flashing Gingerblur over top of it and then flashing the theme again serve any purpose? What I mean is that afaik Greyblur is based on 1.5.7 and Gingerblur 1.8.3.

Also, would that work?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] thegregulator:
I'm not sure if there would be a noticeable difference, but I didn't run gingerblur 3.5 for too long, maybe 2 days max.. For whatever reason my phone seemed more stable on greyblur than gingerblur.. the one think I liked about gingerblur was that there weren't any notification sounds when the internal memory and micro sd card were mounting.. other than that things were pretty similar
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GibMcFragger:
You can fix that! I did! There are no longer mount/unmount sounds on mine! Its in the build.prop.

Let me see if I can find the line for you.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering about that. I have had no issues with greyblur and I keep seeing people have issues with gingerblur so I didn't really want to mess with it. I wont bother flashing gingerblur then.

While trying to deodex everything went fine until the end..after typing in the commands and it copying all the files it gives me an error at the end which i cant remember because of course i closed it... =P something about "do you have root?"

Well i tried typing in the commands again and then it gives me a message saying "you are already deodexed =D"

Well my phone never rebooted.

Does this still mean i'm deodexed and i should just manually reboot my phone or whats happen'n here ?

manually reboot then check your /system folder using a file explorer (not stock, that can't see root) and see if there are any files with the .odex file extension. if not, you're rooted.
