If you're having trouble with the System UI closing with the lapdock here's what I did.

1. Download another launcher (Apex in this case)

2. Set Homescreen to be the default launcher

3. Create a smart action to launch Apex when docked to a Lapdock

4. Once docked you will likely get a System UI error but don't hit OK till Apex loads

5. Once Apex loads hit OK, then hit the home button and the Blur launcher should load

6. Enjoy (sporadically, meaning this doesn't work every time)

Note: Like I said this won't guarantee that it'll work, but I have been able to get it to work at least 1/2 of the times I've docked it. If it doesn't work, the worst that seems to happen is it resets the wallpaper :-(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] seraph_harim:
I noticed that, i seem to also be making fewer typos with the keyboard as well.

*edit- made a typo lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
So once you froze VZW Navigator Google's came up? Cause that's the issue I'm having is that VZW Navigator pops up and screws things up. It refuses to go back to widescreen once that happens. It really annoys the hell out of me. I suppose I can freeze it with TiBU but I don't like messing with built in apps if I don't have to due to update issues.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Hmmm.....I'll have to try that. It's really starting to make me unhappy. I have to travel tomorrow and am really not thrilled at dealing with that nonsense.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Lol for the typo :p
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
@SonicJoe

I declined the privacy setting which completely disables VZW Navigator. I'm gonna go stick it in the car dock and see what happens, but, I'm happy the stupid thing has gone away now. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Try what I just did. Accept the agreement but tell the privacy settings to deny. :D

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

oh HELLLLLL no. That's it. It's going to DIE. It still comes up and asks me if it can go find my location. I tell it no and it SOMETIMES brings up the google nav in widescreen, but, half the time not. That app has GOT to die.

THERE.....I froze it, and it is now dead. Screw you, Verizon. That was a very ugly move on your part.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] HonKudasai:
This worked! Nice find!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Vnvjeep:
Update: after about 5hrs, it finally completed. Bazinga! That definitely tried my patience. Afterwards, it took a good hour before the thing quieted down and was fully usable again... must have been running other stuff in the background... like email/contacts/calendar syncs does multiple accounts. Probably am overtaxing the thing.

Sofar a really nice experience! Even adw scrolls even smoother between screens.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Guys, you do realize with ICS you don't need root to freeze? Open the apps properties, uninstall any updates if applicable, and then select disable.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Uhhhhhhhhhh, well don't I feel like a moron. I've been using ICS on my Xoom for MONTHS and I wasn't aware of that. Gonna try that now. Wonder how this will affect future updates...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
File Name

Just realized, the name of the file is called Blur_Version.5.9.905. Lol so sorry if im being a tad bit skeptical but is this for sure the right file or did something happen to it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Yes, the 905 means you have to already be on 905, the actual 905 update was called 902.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
It does give a warning about possibly breaking things if you disable the wrong thing. You can always re-enable before updating.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Fair enough. But that's super freaking sweet. And yes, it works. I unfroze it, disabled it, and checked it in the dock. Awesome!!

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

As was just said, the version in the update zip file is the version you're flashing FROM, not to. I always add a (xxxx) to the end of the filename so I know what it flashes to. I have a ton of them on my SD card and I can tell you what everyone of them flash from and to. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
Thanks. I figured that's what I thought it meant once I posted. So, if I were to fxz back to .902 from the leak, what would that file be called?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Not sure I follow the question entirely. The FXZ I have for 902 is:

VRZ_XT875_5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.(902).zip

Notice that someone used my nifty trick of adding the (xxx) on the end. I'm glad others are using that naming convention cause it really helps clarify things IMO. But that FXZ would bring you to 902. I hope that's what you were asking.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
You kinda answered it. I guess I'm a little confused. It doesn't matter, but I feel it's worth asking. So, leak is called .905, because that's where we are coming from. But, if I want to fxz back to .902, would the .902 update be called something that you would have come from? e.i. .901? or something lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Ok I get the confusion now. Updates are different than an FXZ. Like REALLY different. Updates are pushed OTA to a phone and use a specific naming convention....as we discussed, the version you're coming from. Stupidly they don't include what you're going to so it can be really confusing when you're playing with leaks. The leaks will all require you be on the last official OTA. In this case that's 905.

FXZ files I don't really know how we get those other than extreme luck. Those are FULL installs. Not just updates. Updates use patches to existing files on the version it's designed to update. Hence all the assertions to ensure you're on the right version of everything. Since they're patching not replacing, they MUST match or it'll brick your phone. FXZ is the whole shabang. It's not a patch, it's the full installer, capable of replacing everything. We don't have one for 905....I so wish we did. It'd make this whole playing with ICS leaks thing much simpler for people. So for now we have the 902 FXZ which allows us to revert our phones to 902, take the 905 OTA, and the install the latest leak. I hope that clears up the remaining confusion.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
Dude thanks that actually explains a lot. I didn't realize this. There's never been instructions on how anything works. I get the gist, but never fully got it. So let me ask one more thing a little irrelevant to the thread.

What are nandroid backups? They sound similar to FXZ files. But for some reason the idea I had about them has been scrambled a bit since I got a Bionic. I used to have an OG Droid. so you may see my confusion.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
HEHE, you're talking to the EXACT right person. :) I'm an OG Droid -> Bionic convert myself. This world we're in, my friend, is very different. The Bionic has a locked bootloader. This is VERY different from the wide open world of OG Droid we had to us. A locked bootloader means you aren't flashing custom kernels. This is where the power of ROMS comes from. Mostly. Now back to your question on nandroids. I promise what I just told you has an application there. :) A nandroid is a backup of the system state. For the OG Droid and other unlocked devices, it's the ENTIRE system state, kernel and bootloader included. For the Bionic it's more complicated. A nandroid made on, say, 902 is useless once you move to 905. This is because of the locked bootloader. You can FXZ back to 902 and then restore the nandroid made on 902. This works because the FXZ files are signed and can be installed mostly in any scenario. The nandroid files aren't. To sum up, your nandroid should match the system version you're running. And revert the system first, to the version the nandroid was made for, then restore the nandroid. I really hope I didn't make the confusion worse. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] seraph_harim:
Hehehe, wasn't aware either,. Thanks for the schooling! ^_^
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
That makes sense. What causes a bootloader to be locked? a physical hardware chip? some sort of firmware coding?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
The bootloader is encrypted and signed. It prevents a non-signed bootloader from being installed. It's a choice Moto has made for the worse. I don't wanna drag this thread off topic with a religious debate, but, suffice it to say Moto hasn't won any fans with this decision...no matter how hard they try to convince us all it's VZW's fault. Just doesn't hold water. Anyway, non-unlockable bootloader == bad.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
Thanks for the answers. Crazy how simple you make it yet I've been confused for so long. Anyway, I'll see about giving the leak a try and then going back when the official one is released.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
I've tried to learn as much as I can so I can do wonderful things with my own device and then pass that knowledge on to the community. We have amazing people in our community and you can learn a LOT from them as I have. Still lots to learn. I have a theory about doing new leaks but I'll hold off on that until we get one. I want to do it without losing my user data but also be somewhat safe and I have some thoughts on that. But, we need a new leak before I attempt it and report how it works.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
FXZ's remove data but updates don't right? leaks as well?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Unmodified FXZ's do indeed return everything to stock and wipe the user data partition. Updates (and leaks are just updates not released) tend to update the system and leave the user's data and apps in tact. The cache, however, can have a profound affect on things. So if the OTA updater is indeed wiping the cache it could explain the difference between those having issues and those who aren't. It's just a theory, though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
FileFactory wanted me to wait over 1000 seconds to download, and I had not even downloaded anything from them in weeks. Found a mirror here though:

http://www.4shared.com/get/_CJ99q04/Blur_Version59905to672233XT875.html

BTW - I can't believe a custom ROM, based on this, hasn't been released by a dev yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ChaosBlades:
Cm9 has been ported.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Based on this? or just the unofficial versions with lots of stuff not working?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ChaosBlades:
2233... seen a link on droid hive... running it now
[Motorola Droid Bionic] minttoast:
not sure if I missed it already, but I didnt see it. (sorry if I did).

I had a bunch of trouble with Zumocast not being in the /preinstalled/apps folder. I moved it, tried installing the update and it didn't work still.

I ended up downloading the newest version from the market, placed it in the "preinstalled/apps" folder, installed it from in there(not sure if this is necessary), removed the .apk from the end of the file name so it just reads "com.motorola.zumocast" and then was able to install ICS with no other errors.

hope this helps those that have this error and want an (IMO) easier fix then FXZ down to .902
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
Does the camera/camcorder/torch work? I see a second build was released
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
WTF? And how does one go about that? :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Easy... Go to settings, apps, find the app you want, un install updates, and then it'll have an option to disable. Done.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bolt_of_thunder:
My wifes bionic is running eclipse 3.0 which is based 905. To fxz back to 902 (which i did once before), is this file that i have the correct one? "VRZ_XT875_5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml(1)" Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Yup that should be the one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bryanjints:
Just flashed this and it is awesome. I have no complaints right now. The phone looks so much better.

I have only had this 2 weeks, coming from the original Incredible rooted. Loving this ICS right now. If this continues to work as well as it has already I will be leaving my Bionic stock for a long while.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bolt_of_thunder:
Can't download from there without an account...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
Bootloader signature

So I have a legit question. Since we Bionic users have a locked bootloader, only signed updates make the cut. Why hasn't anyone actually taken the signature from this update and applied it to a rom or custom kernel of theirs? 95% of all users are on Gingerbread so there's a very large audience.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Its isn't that simple. The signature requires the private Motorola signing keys, and unless you are working for Motorola you aren't getting your hands on those.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
Because that's not how signatures work...if you alter a single bit of data in a given file the signature no longer matches the checksum.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
K, But cant anyone use some sort of software to scan/read the update file for them? The signing keys are there. Even if you can't read them, can you, for lack of a better phrase, "copy and paste" the keys, if you catch my drift?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
I wonder if this was the reason for the $50 firesale a few weeks back. I can confirm that webtop works flawlessly on my HD TV with the webtop adapter and a bluetooth keyboard. So maybe they're having issues getting the lapdock to work and are thinking about dropping support in ICS?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
No. The signing keys aren't there. I recommend reading up on basic public/private key encryption.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zantillian:
Thanks guys. I was thinking these keys were a bit different, but I see what you said. See? I'm learning something.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

Works like a charm

The leak works like a charm and looks great!! Thanks to everyone who found and tested to leak!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
Ahh! However, when I uninstall updates the app disappears from that list so I'm unable to disable it. Maybe I missed something...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
It didn't for me when I did it to the VZW Navigator.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
I just did that to two of the bloatware apps, VZ Nav included. Both are now gone from the list. Oh well...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] monkeypunch35:
Go to All...

After I uninstalled the updates, they would disappear from the "Download" section. I then went over to the "All" section, scrolled through and found the app again. It gave me the "Disable" option at that point.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Oh yea, you need to be in all not downloaded. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheGman125:
Hey has anyone gotten an error when trying to flash the update though stock recovery. I did have my phone root but when they sent that last update I lost root and clockwork

LOL. I must be blind. I don't have an all section. I have downloaded, internal storage, and running sections only. While I'm in the running section I can switch between cached or running services.:crying:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] monkeypunch35:

It is on the right of "Running"... should be able to swipe/scroll over to it.

I am giddy about having ICS right now :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Just so you know (if you ever want/need to re-enable an app), disabled apps are all the way at the bottom of the all apps section. You can enable them from there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
I sure like the task switcher in ICS. Very handy...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] monkeypunch35:
Improvements

Anyone else feel like the camera and keyboard software made a big jump? The camera seems much quicker, and better at focusing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] siggers:
Yeah if you tap a part of the screen it automatically focuses on that section.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HonKudasai:
Webtop

For those of you who also own a Bionic Lapdock, apparently Logitech and Microsoft usb webcams work as a replacement to the phone's front camera. Stock camera app refuses to open, but I just tested it with my MS Lifecam and a 3rd party app. Switching to front view activates the webcam. Haven't tested with Skype or Talk yet, but I have a good feeling they'll work too. I'm now less inclined to upgrade to a Lapdock 500, seeing as that was the one feature I wanted from it. :cool:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
This conversation makes me happy. Misunderstanding expressed, answer given, appreciative response immediately after.

This is why the android community rocks.

Clarification requested. The signed zips are basically encrypted by Motorola, at their offices and the checksums are integrated into the zip. The boot loader compares the checksum to what, exactly? Somewhere on our phones there has to be that key (obviously not accessible) is it hardware based, or software based? That is to ask if it's in the bootloader itself, or hard coded into the phone EEPROM somewhere?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandonnichols360:
I temp. Un rooted with ota root keeper and then unistalled safestrap and then try to flash 2233 with stock recovery but fails everytime with service 7 or something like that. What am i doing wrong?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RandomPooka:
I only ask because someone somewhere has to be able to dump the contents of either the chips themselves or the bootloader and come up with a trial and error test environment that could be implemented on a mass scale like a distributed computing problem

It took a while, but I am on ICS. The only thing I don't get is why my CPU is still 1GHz max and not 1.2 like others are reporting.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Caesarg:
Curios. Can you change the default apps on the lock screen? I tried by changing the apps at the bottom of the screen but it didn't change them. Thoughts?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Its a two key system. Motorola has a private key, that only they have, to sign the package. The package signature is based off the md5 hash of the package plus this private key. Our phones have the public key which can then be used to reverse the process and verify the legitimacy of the package. Our phones don't have or need the private keys. Each key can only do its one function (that is the private key can only be used to digitally sign the package, the public key can only be used yo verify). This is the basic gist of how private/public key encryption works. Its a bit complex to discuss in the forum. Its called Public-key Cryptography. Here's the wikipedia on it: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_key_encryption

[Motorola Droid Bionic] siggers:
Use the 902 FXZ.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
This is a leak, so there is no FXZ. As stated above, you need to FXZ back to 902. From there you'll need to take the 905 OTA, you may want to root and backup root with Voodoo OTA Root Keeper at this point, and then update to ICS.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jickracer007:
Sonic Joe

From my understanding once you flash the 6.2.233 you can not revert back:(

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ChaosBlades:
Make sure your sd card is mounted. Settings... storage... bottom of page.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
You are misinformed. 902 FXZ works fine for either leak. I know this thread has gotten long, but its in here and also multiple sources on the web. I can attest personally that I successfully FXZ'd from both.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
This is incorrect. You can fxz back to 902.

battery

Just wanted to get a feel about your battery usage? I've got the extended battery and used to get a good 17hrs with moderately heavy use... after this upgrade, I'm down to only about 9hrs. What are you all seeing? I haven't been able to find out what the drain seems to be as of yet. :-(

Also... it seems to run alot hotter than it used to. Not sure if that's from the dual rockin' 1.2ghz ponies now, or due to 4g/wifi being more flakey?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] milski65:
Thanks samurai and sonic for the clarification. Just got back from Florida, and trying to catch up. Quite a bit of confusion going on, especially for a new Bionic owner. Go away for a week and everything changes.

Just played FPse, works perfectly on ICS now. It always worked on ICS (and much faster than on GB), but there was no HDMI output until now. I was playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 w/ OpenGL using my Sixaxis controller, full speed of course. Good stuff, good stuff. Gonna install N64oid in a little bit. It's amazing (and most likely due to the smaller screen resolution) that the Bionic (at 1Ghz or 1.2Ghz) runs FPse much faster than the Xoom overclocked to 1.6Ghz (and GPU overclocked to 400Mhz, I believe). Quadrant and NenaMark scores are pretty awesome too.
