Thanks for posting the guide. Updated the phone with the new sbf and it is absolutely fast now.

I just miss one thing: support for portuguese/brazil abnt2 keyboard profile on webtop

I have the brazilian atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lucasmine:
Hey Seven, great work and great turorial..

I've just translated it to portuguese and post it on a Brazilian Forúm (your credits of course) and have the hole turorial here if anyone wants it...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mobileweasel:
Well, I am thinking about diving into this. I read the guide and I only have one little question. Do I require drivers if I am running WinXP ? Everything else seems straight forward.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] WingMan2010:
Does the 1080p come only with Greyblur...i am on 1.4.2..i don't want to install gingerblur yet..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
-is there anyway to choose a pic gallery to default, directly from the camera screen?(the bottom left corner pic)

-any chance hotspot works with this? i dont seem to see the icon/widget anymore, probably because bloatware was removed.

Sry if this has been posted, im just at work right now. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Abandon 1.4.2. and update to 2.1.1 - You can keep GreyBlur and infact I recommend GreyBlur over GingerBlur.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
The icon was removed. I was attempting to port this but this is more trouble than is needed. It still is fully functional though if you use my patch! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
No you cannot use this mod yet.

This is because PSNEUTER does not work on any firmware above 1.52..

Therefore someone needs to re-write the whole script to work with new root exploits.

Soon though, this may change :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
already using the blur patch! its running much better as a whole right now! You my friend, are the largest reason im keeping this phone! Thank you for the hard work!

About the gallery, is there a way to choose "quick pic" as the default gallery from the camera screen? :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
I will add this to the FAQ today :) That way anyone can have this information on file and hopefully understand which themes they are to use.

As I stated on the thread you linked me,

Since this is for 1.8.3, you could try to flash it over GreyBLur and then do a factory reset to get it working.

It is recommended though that these themes if you flashed GingerBlur 3.1 and then used my patcher as this was designed for 1.8.3 framework.

Do it at your own risk though GingerBlur 3.1 was pretty loopy on Telstra 1.

For clarification purposes:

GreyBlur 3.1 is based on 1.8.3

GingerBlur 2.1 is based on 1.5.7

Use this information to determine which themes you should use.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Hey sir,

Read STEP 3 carefully to find out how to get this working properly. :)

It has a step that is crucial for you to have the correct layout set.

If you skipped the step you must reflash 2.1.1 to stock to access this feature.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
What is your question here sir? I'm sorry I did not answer promptly but I dont think I understand.

If you are asking if OTA updates for your specific carrier are better than general more advanced SBF versions, then the answer is.. YES and NO

Yes if you want to play it safe and rely on your carriers own redtape to get you software updates.

and NO because it might take months for me to get a stupid update from Bell and even then they might not have features I like or need.

In the case of BELL phones our current STOCK version is gimped majorly, by performance and even upload speed (this is capped).

Performance on 2.1.1 is vastly superior, at least 1.5 to 2 times more responsive in terms of performance and touch screen responsiveness so there is NO reason to stay behind on 0.37.4. Only people who like to play it safe and remain abandoned on their boring stock look and performance stay there :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tdo700:
I wish I could use this sbf :(

I got at&t.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Crisao23:
Good tip. I'll test it tonight.

The performance gain is awesome.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratatouille:
Seven, could you make a patch to use tweaks and 1080p recording without having to use GingerBlur or GreyBlur? I am already on the French update. Can I deodex with your method right here?

Does this work on the orange uk phone, i have it rooted but want a better recovery.

system version 4.1.31

baseband 01.86.00r

build number u4_1.3.1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Has anyone confirmed that editing build.prop actually enables 1080p recording?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Why would you ask this if it is already confirmed this works using LgCamera and other applications that allow you to select 1080p recording....? they even have 1080p samples bro.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
No you cannot. I will make a new Deodex version for 2.1.1 for those interested in theming :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lfventura:
Thanks man! It is hard to find guides like these that as clear instructions that work in non-us atrixes. Now lets hope to get a official brazilian sbf and everything will be perfect for me.

I will apply your tutorial in my Atrix (Just Root / Recovery part) as I dont know if this SBF is better or not than the brazilian stock and I will probably have some problem with the baseband... Fear lol

I will try later this and as soon it works I will for sure donate a beer or two for you :)

Regards!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
No worries sir! :)

As for quickpic, yes there is a way to enable it as default. Remove Gallery3D completely and it will allow you to select Quickpic (which is much better imo)

Another way to do it without removing Gallery3D is to go to the Application settings and find Gallery3D and clear the Defaults which will no longer tag it as the default application.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
It works :) Reported and confirmed with the Brazillian Atrix as well as Korean Atrixes..

By all means check the compatibility section in the main post. None the less it is never a bad idea to wait for someone else to put their phone in the fire first :D hehehhe
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
I believe someone with Orange UK has already flashed 1.4.2 and therefore 2.1.1 should be compatible. None the less, I don't recommend you try this untill it is confirmed working. By all means the specs should work and you will not lose any functionality. If you try though, RSDLite will either let you flash it, or it wont let you flash it...

So there is your answer. :)

Cheers and good luck. Do your research first always
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
:) thats awesome to hear sir!

É bom saber que os brasucas estão desfrutando o Atrix. :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Because those third party apps don't actually take 1080p video. Its just upscaling, and work regardless of what build.prop says.

Thanks for all the work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Really? because you tried using 3rd party applications like LGCamera without modifying 1080p actually works...

It doesn't. Thanks for the feedback though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jayhammy:
I've done all the steps in the OP, Grey blurred, etc. So is the OS deodexed so I can flash themes or is there something I must do first before theming?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aimer:
This thread is amazing! After I get my microSDHC card I will definitely take the plunge! I was really hoping someone would make a thread like this, I hope you know how extremely helpful this is for people that are relatively new to Android (like myself). I'm sure many of the people that find this guide through Google will also be very grateful!

Aside from the thank you's I have 1 question. When Bell gets around to releasing the Gingerbread SBF (In this life or the next) for the Motorola Atrix. Will there be any problem starting at Step 1 of the guide using the hypothetical bell Gingerbread SBF? Hoping that they don't do anything drastically different when they release it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
On my phone, just loading LGCamera is enough for me to select 1080p. Not sure why it doesn't on yours.

Perhaps a bit offtopic but since gallery 3d seems to be problamatic in gb 3.1, is there a way to disable it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
That wouldnt be bad at all, although don't take the time until this is finalized which might be by the end of this week.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
i think google translate would do that automically wouldnt it? copy/paste!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
meh, translate just goes through and makes the changes word-by-word.

it won't work for a large chunk of text, having someone actually translate it works a whole hell of a lot better.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
yea, good point.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
When you apply GreyBlur it deodexes for you. So yes you are deodexed and can apply themes on top of GreyBlur
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blunted09:
bump! Anybody?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] englishpunk:
I think you've answered my question, which was basically are there advantages to updating to something newer than the 1.3.1 build. As you can see i was advised that as my firmware was upto date i should wait for build updates from my provider, which didn't sound right, hence my question :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
and trying to record works?

yeah, i dont think thats very accurate. But whatever works for you....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rickroller:
Just finished flashing this and everything went great! I did notice however that version 4.9 of RSDlite gave me errors during the flashing process, but a quick upgrade to 5.0 and it went flawless.

The phone is definately quicker..especially coming out of lock/unlock states. My upload/download speeds have been ****e since installing Greyblur..but i'm not sure if it's just a bad time of day or what. How is it we can verify tha were are in fact HUSPA?

Thanks to Seven for this fantastic walk thru..even though i'm not a complete noob anymore..I love step by step guides like this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
So I assume you have run a speedtest jes?

Disable Wifi, make sure your battery management thing is set to Performance

Run a Speedtest, then quickly go to dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and then go to Phone Information

Check Network Type: and just check as you move around. It should switch between UMTS and HSPA. HSPA = enabled/uncapped.

2.1.1 does have HSPA uncapped.. :)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
what firmware are you currently on?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
I just ran a speed test. 3 mb down, 1 mb up +/- 100 or so kb each.

Sounds like you have the wrong APN information entered. Check your settings too because you may have 2G only enabled.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
If you are trying to use ROOT and RECOVERY no you do not need to flash.

If you want GingerBlur/GreyBlur.. then yes you do need to.

APN settings are what I've always had them set for using Telus: sp.telus. com

Would it be worthwhile trying to reflash Gingerblur? Like I said..I flashed 2.1.1 in the morning and ran a speedtest with it and it was good..but since installing Greyblur this afternoon its been ****e. Or is the radio available just to flash? I know when I flashed the Telstra radio I had to do it a couple times before I actually seen a speed jump

Yeah I just want to root my stock rom since we still not have any brazilian stock sbf to download. As soon we get one brazilian sbf I will feel more confident to go and try a lot of other sbfs and custom roms.

So If I understood well, if I want to unroot I have just to delete the Su and Superuser.apk and then it will be as I had never rooted my phone? (I have my phone for 4 days, I just want to make sure if I need to return this device to motorola for any defective item I can revert everything).

Can anyone help me get Bell's tethering app back? I prefer it over Wireless Tether because it offers full infrastructure tethering, and it's free through Bell.

Please help!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chuckyd:
i am also on orange same as yourself i used gingerbreak to root it followed the tuts on here flashed gingerblur 3.1 over to it no problem much better looking however nearly all the bloatware is gone which in my opinion is a good thing
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rickroller:
Just figured i'd give an update.

Things seem to be back to normal now. Speedtests are around the 3.5-4.0Mbps for downloads and 1.5Mbps for uploads. Not sure why they were so bad before..perhaps Speedtest was having issues../shrug. Oh well..all is good now!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
NO. its clearly stated. Do not use this on the ATT Atrix. It will disable OTA updates permanently on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Good news sir :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
So you went from Orange UK atrix to 2.1.1?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
What do you mean Infrastructure mode.. the tethering app is simply a shortcut to the Wifi Hotspot section under Wifi, if you leave it as an open Wifi hotspot, its just like Adhoc, but if you add PSK security its like infrastructure.

I tried porting the tethering apk you are reffering to but it does not want to install properly so no go for now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jayhammy:
Infrastructure mode is seen by any wifi system, as opposed to adhoc mode, which often is not.

NEVER MIND: Thanks for your reply. I went into the wireless settings and enabled it in there and it works. YAY! I didn't realize the homescreen "app" was just a shortcut.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
I would just like to post this. Great job on the FAQ, but I do not agree with saying that Gingerblur 3.1 causes battery drain. I have not experienced battery drain at all and I can squeeze 36 hours out of my phone, while still doing regular things like texting and occassional browsing and mapping. Issues are NOT with Gingerblur.

Edit: Unless you are just talking about Gingerblur on non-AT&T Atrix's. Then I have no comment for that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] solar_burn:
I got the same setup as you seven2099 (atrix + fido), and i've put these APNs in many times!

But it's not working!

I even reflashed the sbf and greyblur (followed all the steps twice) But my Fido APNs aren't working (I tested them on the stock SBF and they worked great).

Are you using 1 combined apn? or 2? (I tried both, neither worked [I always used to use the combined APN])]

Please help! I really want Greyblur, but I have no mobile internet!

PS you are amazing!

EDIT: got it working with the internet.fido.ca

would like to have it working with 1 combined APN (helped with Picture messages that wouldnt work before)

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I initially had problems flashing with RSD lite as the "Start" button was greyed out. I'm on Windows 7 and the problem was that the .rar file came from "another computer," so I had to right click the .rar -> Properties -> Unblock and then extract it. Everything was good after that
[Atrix 4G Android Development] englishpunk:
I did my Orange branded Atrix ( 1.3.1 ) last night, 2.1.1 doesn't really seem to have given me any visible improvement, though i'm still on FroYo for the moment. As for bloatware, only found Need For Speed Shift that stands out ( why load into the ROM a demo you can play exactly once before having to buy it ?! ), all the Orange ROM stuff such as provider applications and fixed search and voice installations ( why ?! ) are gone, the rest is Motorola system bloat, and i'm giving it a chance before blowing it all away.

I've not tested Webtop yet, but as it's an official SBF i don't forsee any issues, apart from the keyboard type obviously, which i've changed :)

I had no issues doing the steps to upgrade directly from 1.3.1 to 2.1.1 and was able to root again using GingerBreak.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hegemytouch:
I have a noob question...can I root and put gingerblur on my atrix that's at&t?...and do I have to flash sbf 2.1.1?...thanks...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] noxlord:
In a word; no.

There is two different kind of Atrix.

- AT&T Atrix 4G (not supported by this sbf)

- All the other known Atrix (supported by this sbf)

This is rather unfortunate and weird, I really wonder what is the difference between the att atrix and the rest. Hardware seems to be the same.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hegemytouch:
So I can't root our put a rom on my at&t atrix at all?...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
actually you can. but don't follow the instructions in this thread. go to the actual gingerblur 3.1 thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thegregulator:
You can root and put a rom on your AT&T atrix, you just can't use this SBF. I think the newest firmware available for the AT&T atrix is 1.5.7 or 1.8.3. Check and see if that's what you're running. If so, you can root using gingerbreak. In order to run Kenneth's gingerblur rom on your AT&T phone I think you'll need to be on 1.8.3. Scour the following forums and you will find all the information you need. Good luck.

Try to enable data roaming. See if that helps
[Atrix 4G Android Development] englishpunk:
Just applying the 2.1.1 SBF defaulted my APNs to their original settings, so i'm guessing you've gone a setup further. The first thing i would do would be to OTA the settings to yourself ( i'm assuming it registers on the network still ? ). The website to send yourself the settings OTA is http://setuporange.wdsglobal.com/. It can sometimes take a few minutes for the settings to come through. At least then you know you have the correct settings and they can be ruled out.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chuckyd:
i tried sending ota settings from there website to no avail inputed the apn settings manual still nothing but activating roaming seemed to fix my issue

my guess is something to do with gingerblur rom being based on a at&t rom the network here in the uk must pickup on it? just hope i dont get roaming charges like i did whilst in jamaica recently
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
hi OP, after a flash of GreyBlur everything worked fine for a day, then i got the OTA update, so I installed your BlurPatch files

it disabled the OTA update fine, but it also made the really annoying popup for "Network with limited service found. Do you want to initiate network search?"

this popup never showed up on fresh GreyBlur, and it's REALLY annoying for me since service is really patchy in my house and just using WiFi and stuff around pulls this notification. I realize that i could put it in airplane mode, but that's annoying :/ any thoughts?
