[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
are you running cm6? Or any AOSP rom? if you are you need to make sure that the kernel you are flashing is an AOSP kernel. The Kings and Netarchy's kernels you are trying to flash might be sense kernels and well that might explain the boot loop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsttimer44:
No I am not trying to run sense kernals on aosp roms or vice versa. I don't have problems with AOSP roms or kernals, basically just netarchy and kings on sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsttimer44:
For instance I am running MYN RLS4 currently and every netarchy or kings kernal will send it into random reboots after proper installation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
that is pretty weird. the only thing that i can suggest is to flash the rom of choice and make sure to wipe dalvik and other caches. then try to flash the other kernel. i would even go as far as re-downloading the rom and kernel of choice to make sure that the one you have isnt corrupt or something. sorry if this doesnt help. the one time that i ran into this problem, fresh rom and kings kernel, once i wiped all caches problem went away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Not sure if this will help but random reboots have been reported due to the underclocking on those kernels, I think there is a little blurb on it in the netarchy thread for the kernels, it is in one of the text boxes with the q and a's. Are you running setcpu? if so set the min to 245760 and see what happens. Just an idea.
[Streak 5 General] jeremydallas:
I upgraded my Streak to the official 2.2 version and have found a lot of my apps in the market are missing. Apparently this is common if the device isn't recognized, which for some reason makes "locked / protected" apps hidden (why?). My question is:

Does anyone know how to get my protected apps to appear in the Market?

I've used z4root to get root access and installed the Market Enabler, but that didn't do anything for me.

FYI - I've just run Smokku's update.zip to improve performance and scored a whopping 1543 on Quadrant Standards full benchmark (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848487).

Thanks!
[Streak 5 General] treylemkn:
I noticed the same thing. Even some of the apps I had previously bought are not showing. Fortunately I backed them up with titanium backup and was able to restore them.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:
I had the same situation. I just searched for the app using Appbrain.com on the computer, then used Google Goggles to scan the barcode and download the apps from the Market.
[Streak 5 General] fireedo:
same here it's like that market detecting that my streak still using Android 1.x because I cant find "youtube", "skyfire" etc....can anyone help us?
[Streak 5 General] jeremydallas:
The problem here is the Market still shows them as unavailable. If your fingerprint is unrecognized then you can't see locked apps...
[Streak 5 General] ghostcorps:
I'm running the Official 2.2 after upgrading from ATT 1.6, same problem here. Has any one found a solution yet?

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:
I told you all to use appbrain on a computer. Use Google Goggles, then scan the barcode & that should take you to the app in marketplace.

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] ghostcorps:
I've been doing that for a while, it gets annoying when your not in front of a PC all the time
[Streak 5 General] auramae:
Sometimes, even that doesn't work. Square, for example, won't appear. I backed up using the Dell backup/restore as well as On The Fly (which backs up apps) so I wasn't screwed out of apps I had already paid for or downloaded, but there are many apps that do not show up on Market when using cooked ROMS.
[Streak 5 General] ghostcorps:
Dell backup restore often needs to go back to the market and these apps also fail, presumably because they are locked. I have also posted in this thread which has a few suggestions, none of which have worked for me yet but others may have more luck.

(I am not sure if this question should be posted here or in Droid2 forum)

Anyone can help me to get MotoBlur out of my Milestone 2?

Is there anyone developing ROMS for this device?

I will be very happy with a standard clean 2.2 or 2.3 for Milestone 2.
[Milestone 2 General] nikosblade:
You are on milestone 1 forums. Gl on 2.3, its not out yet even for nexus 1. :p

I think we need a dedicated Milestone 2 forum, someone pls?
[Milestone 2 General] GoGs777:
just install some home replacement... launcherpro, adw... and set it as default launcher.
[Milestone 2 General] foreman31:
When you install Launcher Pro it automatically becomes the default launcher and you can't get back to Moto. BLUR

You have to uninstall to see blur again
[Milestone 2 General] pacharru:
I already have LauncherPro as default launcher, it is installed since first day.

But this is not answering to my question, my question was how to remove MotoBlur!

EDIT: Motorola´s explanation for MotoBlur:

So what is MOTOBLUR you might ask? Well it’s not a phone as you might initially think. It’s a new service, a new skin which will be able to handle all your social networking needs. Motorola’s own Sanjay Jha showed everyone that half of the US mobile traffic is going to social networking sites. That means Motorola’s future phones will cover that aspect extensively.

MOTOBLUR will be able to sync email, contacts, photos from any source and get it straight to your home screen immediately. Whether it’s coming from Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, corporate email, MySpace, Gmail and more, you’ll never miss a thing with MOTOBLUR as the feature lets you manage your email addresses and social networking accounts. Or that’s what Motorola wants us to think.

So let’s check out some features:

Update social status on multiple social networks at once

Great visual experience

Check out friends’ status updates

Browse through messages in aggregated view or by account

Contacts’ status updates shown when receiving an incoming call

Remote delete in case phone gets stolen or lost

MOTOBLUR servers support

All we need now are some really hot Motorola phones to see these features of MOTOBLUR in action!
[Milestone 2 General] yudhistre:
We need a new Thread for the Milestone 2

Indeed, I have root on my milestone 2.. with clockwork recovery...

but blur is still there... Need Cyanogen...
[Milestone 2 General] cadu.c.moraes:
I've finally got my MS2 from Tim Brasil yesterday. First time on Android and can't figure out what belongs to Motoblur and what cames from Android. Is it just some sofisticated widget? What i'm gonna loose with no Motoblur. And what's the gain? Performance?

Edit: already notice it has its own message app, automatic back up with motoblur server, some contacts attributes, a function to link two ore more contacts from the same person etc. Not sure if I'm gonna miss it or not.
[Milestone 2 General] borrego:
Motoblur is not just a launcher. Many useful widgets like News reader, Weather, Media sharing and the Docking station display rely on Motoblur to run. So make sure you don't want to use those features before you try to remove motoblur
[Milestone 2 General] 3-S-E:
Motoblur is also a number of services in the background. Services like the over-the-air-update-scanner, remote-data-eraser, remote-device-finder etc. You cannot just apply Launcher Pro, AWD Launcher, or something similar to your MS2 and think Motoblur is gone for good -> you just "hide" the Motoblur-surface, not deactivate the services.
[Milestone 2 General] n3man:
I have actually used titanium backup to remove a large amount of the blur services it has significantly increased both the variety life and speed of my phone. give it a shot!
[Milestone 2 General] Shellite:
Ditto, I can confirm that there is a very significant difference, second day of owning the phone I had ripped out most of the motobloat and its much faster, battery lasts a solid day of moderate use, I've managed two days (struggling by the end of second day) with calls only.

[Milestone 2 General] falecomcyber:
I'm brazilian and i found all of the apps to freeze, just translating the original name.

The list:

nconnected 2.2
Date and Time 2.2
ES Musica
Help Centre 2.2
HipHop Official
Home screen tips 2.2
News 2.2
Quick Contacts 2.2
Revolver TV
Rock On Altitude
Social Messaging 2.2
Social Messaging Service 2.2
Social Networking 2.2
Social Sharing 2.2
Social Status 2.2
Toggle Widgets 2.2
TrueCountry
Weather 2.2
World Clock 1.0

I installed ADW Launcher EX and then froze 'Home 2.2'. (* DONT FREEZE HOME 2.2 UNLESS YOU HAVE INSTALLED A LAUNCHER REPLACEMENT FIRST *)

In addition to the above I have also frozen these items, which I do not use, but which may impact your usability:

AdService 1.0
blur.res 2.2 (no idea what this is)
BrowserMessage 2.0
com.motorola.phoneaddons 2.2
Data Manager 2.2
Data Manager Service 1.1
Messages 2.2
Messaging 2.2
Sticky Note 2.2
Universal Inbox 2.2
Yahoo Contacts 2.2

I am still experimenting with other apps/packages, I have not tested if MMS still works after freezing messages2.2/messaging2.2, but I dont use it anyway.

So far my phone is running super fast, typically see's ~150-200MB RAM free, plus using Milestone Overclock I'm running 1.25ghz @ 62VSEL.

I'll see if the milestone 2 will be faster without this apps.

EDIT:

I REALLY realized that the phone was much faster after that. I'm using the Zeam Launcher and the transitions are softer.

Don't know if it's a psicological effect but one thing i can tell: With a new launcher and freezing this apps i have a REALLY FASTER phone.
[Milestone 2 General] TheTimetraveler:
can you please specify, which application does what? I guess Some of them might be actually usefull?

also it would be very usefull to know which ones have the most significant impact on speed and batterylife.

edit: also I love the Facebook widget, is it possible to extract from motomlur and use it with launcherPro?
[Milestone 2 General] ovizii:
I am curios about the same thing: what service/app included in motoblur does what?

What is part of motoblur's functionality and what is stock android?

I.e. linking Facebook contacts with Google contacts, is that motoblur or android working there?
[Milestone 2 General] nininhocovre:
That's motoblur, but could be done using the official facebook app
[Milestone 2 General] ovizii:
could we start compiling a list? anyone intersted?

I think its quite silly to have to deactivate then restart and check if anything is missing if one could have a list and check which component does what...

i.e. I still have the main motoblur service shown as active, its named: Motorola Services and another one called com.motorola.blur.service.main and I have no idea which apps to freeze to get rid of these two besides the fact I'd love to know what exactly they do...

I simply don't need any instant updates that motoblur gives (i.e. twitter, FB, gmail) as I want to manually check if I am interested, don't need the music service they isntall but I'd like to keep my FB and gmail account set so that I can manually check and sync.

hope that makes sense as I am mostly lost what functionality belongs to android and which to motoblur :-(
[Milestone 2 General] nininhocovre:
I'd like too to have those motoblur accounts removed and use the normal ones.

I have the facebook app and I could sync the contacts with facebook but I think motoblur facebook account interfers with the official facebook app and neither works for me, so no facebook contacts sync for me.:(
[Milestone 2 General] joeyfong:
I also want to remove those useless application
[Milestone 2 General] joeyfong:
Which apps should I use to remove those apps/services????
[Milestone 2 General] Motofan1996:
I also want to know that .. :) Waiting for a reply.
[Milestone 2 General] ovizii:
so far I have disabled a lot of the motoblur apps and replaced the contacts with this app: contapps.

after disabling most of the motoblur stuff, the contacts synchronization between contacts - google contacts and facebook contacts wasn`t working anymore.

still testing if I can disable the contacts completely... after all a lot of other apps point to them, i.e. if I look at the most recent calls from the dialer clicking on a contact opens the built-in contacts app...
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
I managed to run my Milestone2 completely Blur-Free, using a not so simple approach. The idea is pretty simple: remove all apps from /system/app and replace them with android stock apps.

Well, it turned out that the implementation of the idea was not so simple, but it is possible. Of course there's going to be some extra steps to achieve a Blur-less phone.

WARNING: This is not a step by step guide (not yet). You will loose all data stored on the phone. There is a risk to make the phone non-functional (that's why you should grab RSD Lite and SBF). Don't try it if you don't know what you're doing.

What I did:

- Downloaded and android SDK;

- rooted my phone (z4root);

- Installed Droid2 Bootstrap with clockworkmod recovery;

- Backed up my ROM;

- Grabbed RSD Lite and SBF for my phone just in case (in my case Brazilian Retail SBF);

- Downloaded last fission ROM for Droid2;

- Downloaded testsign (application to sign apk and .jar files with test keys);

- Reboot my phone into clockworkmod recovery;

- Copied /system/framework/framework-res.apk from phone to PC;

- Copied /system/app/* from phone to PC as backup;

- Extracted Fission ROM to some dir;

- Used testsign to sign framework-res.apk with test-keys;

- Used testsign to sign all apps from Fission ROM;

- Replaced the phone /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the test-singed one;

- On phone, deleted all apps from /system/app/;

- Copied the test-signed fission apps to phone on /system/app;

- Copied the original BlurCamera.apk to /system/app (to record in HD, doesn't need blur);

- Wiped everything (data/dalvik cache/cache/battery status);

- Reboot;

I think I had a problem or two when restarted. To fix you should read the logcat and replace some apps with the original ones.
[Milestone 2 General] joeyfong:
Finally rooted with Super One Click, and uninstall with TB
[Milestone 2 General] ovizii:

[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
I think there is something called Argen2Stone, just look for it on Milestone2 general section. Also Milestone2 Fission ROM is a work in progress, it should be available on the near future.
[Milestone 2 General] joeyfong:
Does any one know the motoblur services can be remove???
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
You can't just remove them. A lot of basic system applications were modified by Motorola in order to work with Motoblur framework. To remove blur you'll have to replace a lot of these basic applications and you'll need to sign them with another key (cause Motorola's is secret). For example, if you remove Blur the BlurContacts application will stop working so you will need to replace it with stock contacts application, but stock contacts application requires a contacts provider, wich is not compatible with Blur contacts provider, so you will need to replace with stock ContactsProvider.apk. To install Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk you will need to have the key for android.uid.system user. Since you don't have this key (Motorola's) you'll need to sign all .apk that share this same user, including /system/framework/framework-res.apk (you may use a test key). If you do so you'll need to do a factory reset, because permissions will not be the same and the system will fail to boot. It's a bit complicated, but it is possible. The easier way is to do what I explained on a previous post on this thread.
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Better use Titanium Backup and freeze them one by one and test for a few days if everything is working fine. That is what I did and I have at least 10 blur apps frozen.

Hi to everybody!

Been looking seriously into Milestone 2 phone, since I'd like to use Communicator like phone, but with Android. Been using Nokia Communicators for the last ten years, but it's time to move on...

Anyway, MS2 really caught my eye, until I learned about that Motoblur thing, that really put me off. Since then, been lurking around internet trying to get more info, cause I'd really like to use stock Android. I come across this info from Motorola site - MS2 is available in Switzerland without motoblur. Since I'll be purchasing my phone in Switzerland luckily, will let you know how it goes, but I guess it is possible to get and use MS2 without motoblur from the factory itself.

The Wiki also states some changes recently:

It will be interesting to know if someone has bought a milestone2 without Blur in Switzerland
[Milestone 2 General] Misaka:
the site said that blur was available only in several countries, but as far as I see, the android virus called blur has been preinstalled in almost every moto's phone running android 2.2 or higher version.

and I'd rather have droid dream installed in my phone......droid dream collects your private information and send it to hacker's server, blur not only does this, but it also slows down your system. Say there is a ROM completely swept blur out, and our tombstone may be a real tombstone for the iphone series!

Support for both AMOLED & SLCD owners!

With the release of Unrevoked 3.31, DINC owners are now able to obtain root and S-OFF with the Nov OTA and it also supports recoveries for both AMOLED and SLCD users!

I have put together an extensive guide on how to get root for both AMOLED & SLCD users! Rooting is now even easier than ever.

The guide is available at http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/root-your-droid-incredible-how-to/

FAQ

Blank Recovery Screen Issue

For those of you coming across the issue of the blank/black recovery screen:

Do NOT boot straight into recovery with Volume Up+Power.

Boot into HBOOT FIRST with Volume Down+Power.

Then select RECOVERY from the HBOOT menu.

I rooted before the OTA and the OTA will not install

Read my article on how to Unroot your Droid Incredible at http://jonsuh.com/2011/01/unroot-your-droid-incredible/

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
Well truthfully, the OTA update doesn't do much but add more crapware. There isn't any other reports of the OTA being a significant update so you'd be safe to not even install the OTA. If you're annoyed with the reminder, if you've done all I've told you to, if you click "Install" it should just time out and not do anything and never remind you again.

Not Working For Me

This process does not appear to be working for me.

After doing all up to and including the "ADB" stuff and typing "reboot bootloader", my phone just boots to the bootloader and does nothing. I never get the prompt to process the update.

Where did I go wrong? I've tried this four times with the same results.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
Did you make sure you didn't rename the file something different? It should be "PB31IMG.zip" in the root of your SDCARD.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozone777:
No good.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit.

I formatted the removable sdcard to fat32 and the PB31IMG.zip file is named correctly.

I type in "./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img" and immediately get the "#" prompt after it confirms my entry.

I then type "reboot bootloader" and the phone goes to the bootloader and just sits there until I tell it to reboot.

Should I be doing all of this from the internal storage instead of the removable card?

New Info:

I just tried it again and this time instead of rebooting from the bootloader screen I selected "bootloader" and it checked the image and gave me the option to flash. I said "yes" and it is now loading the image.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
Nope, you shouldn't, but no worries, the new Unrevoked version should be able to get you root without having to follow all my directions.

Just go to www.unrevoked.com/recovery then download and run the proper version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozone777:
Uh-Oh!

I think I just bricked the phone.

After saying yes to flashing the image, the phone went black and never woke up. now I can't turn it on although the soft buttons light up when I press the power button.

Is there any key combination that will get me to recovery or am I screwed?
