crash after 30 sec on every reboot. help! i am on v4 & 1.8.3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
If there was a social network pic-tionary and we looked up the praise "smugly grinning", it would have a picture of you grinning from ear-to-ear!!

Impressive work Paschali and a brilliant contribution to the GB cause!! There are many applications impacting by this issue. Looking forward to seeing GB 4.1! :)

Ken: Time to tell your GF her phone might be bricked again! ;) Edit: Ok, I bit the bullet and sent some hard currency your way.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
Is this fix for the 'white on white' menu problem able to fixed separately, or does it need to be incorporated into a GB release?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ethantarheels123:
Yeah I know exactly what you are experiencing. except it also happens to me for the stock browser watching normal flash videos. I can't touch the screen while in full screen or else the browser will force close.

When you turn on your phone, hold vol down bottom to boot into android recovery. Factory wipe data from there and restart.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] orsye:
guys, thanks for those Roms.. one question though, does this rom remove sim lock from ATT or should I pay to ATT to unlock Rom for other networks?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
you have to sim unlock seperately
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
White on White

From what Paschali has written it appears that it can be applied as a patch that involves replacing the 9 files that he refers to. He did something and said it worked but he lost me when started talking about decompiling/compiling... I think that he means that you have to decompile the files, rewrite them to correct the color schemes and then recompile them to put back in the mdpi folder. It seems that once the code is debugged the old files could just be replaced with the new ones. :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rayan:
Have you tried booting into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] katinatez:
anyone know what the file path is for accounts/ calendar sync. I was able to sync Calengoo app from the market before GB 3.1, was thinking I could just manually change this file path it says android Calender sync now to calengoo sync. I'm running 1.8.3 GB 4.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] exume:
just upgraded from 3.1, looks great! thanks again Ken!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
The files will get messed up if you just try to open as a zip and swap files. They have to be decomplied then recompiled. I think what he is saying is that KP already did this in the hdpi files,but left the lower Res mdpi files as they were. I think it is really a suggestion to KP to fix the three files, but he says he managed to do it via root explore so anyone should be able to fix their own.

Upgraded to v4.0... looks good as usual. However, is anyone else noticing this: When I activate the gps, I no longer get any pop up notification that says enabling or disabling, and once it is checked under setting, there is no icon in the status bar.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rvt1000:
Thanks for the input and I know what you're saying.....but there are plenty of ROMs out there that integrate aesthetics with function like DesignGear's Roms or MikeyMike's on the galaxy phone. Either way I totally acknowledge that it's not the dev's issue to worry about looks, that's ours, I was just figuring out how I could make my own tweaks.

Thanks for that info...I'll go extract the icons and swap them out on here. :)

EDIT: KG, it wasn't as easy as it sounded. I went to the apk and replaced all 23 ic_settings_XXX file with the 23 from a colored rom (captivate froyo). Nothing happened. Restarted and I lost my settings alltogether. won't open. So then I changed persmissions and allowed execute file and ran the apk to install it but it say install failed. SO in the end I lost my settings menu and had to revert and put the old settings.apk back on the phone and reboot and now I have my old settings (grey) back. Something I'm missing? I thought I just had to 7-zip delete the other files then drag in the new ones. Any advice?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] barry99705:
Nope, I get a status bar icon. Not sure about the pop up thing, I never shut off the gps....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
9.png files, are stretchable pngs.

if you extract and then zip back the framework, you will see results as my screenshots! The only reason i did this is to prove you, that it works.

the proper way is:

to decompile the framework

change the color of those three 9.png files in mdpi folder

compile it again!

I get errors while recompiling..

Maybe i m missing some files, or because the framework isn't stock.. or my java(jre?) version.. or GBv4.0 still gives errors while recompiling..i dont know.

what i know for sure, ken can make this in less than a min!

So just wait for him! ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] makr8100:
Bugs I've noticed so far in v4 -

Fingerprint reader still broken

Facebook contact photos work in contact list & in-call, not in homescreen widgets or stock sms app (present in gb v3.5 also)

Webtop messaging icon still points to Motorola's sms app and doesn't load anything

I'll start looking for workarounds

When I get a new text message, the notification from whatever SMS app I use has a number next to it. On GingerBlur and GreyBlur it had a huge red circle with the number in it covering up the entire notification icon... Does anyone know where I can find this image in the framework or whatever so I can change it?

EDIT: Added a pic. The big red number at the top.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
Maybe its the ic_notification_overlay.9.png

i have the same as yours.

Its too big the circle and you don't like it? :P

ic_notification_overlay.9.png: it's stretchable ..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
It just covers up the whole icon with it's glaring redness lol. But it is supposed to be like that then?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] drew68:
My finger print reader works fine
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
yes i think. with that png..

If the circle gets little smaller(without affecting the black lines/dots at the frame of the png), and little transparency in the circle, it would be better i think..

I have rarely fingerprint issues, and i just reboot my phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
So how does it work, is the image just the red circle and it displays a text number inside? So could I just change the red circle into some other background of my choice? I just remember before I Gblur'd this phone it had a very inconspicuous yellow border around the numbers..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
i'ts just like the other 9-patch pngs..

needs decompilation / compilation, in order to work properly !

correct me if i m wrong!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I just don't even know what a 9-patch png is honestly lol. I've never done any theming, but I noticed in the GB 4.0 update kpenn apparently made theming easier for novices like myself? So I figured I could go in and change that image myself but I don't wanna screw it all up lol. Sorry for all the questions and such, but thanks for the help!

Stock SMS App

"Webtop messaging icon still points to Motorola's sms app and doesn't load anything..."

My stock messaging app works fine. You must have some corrupted files.

If you need a calendar App check out business calendar...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
The status bar GPS symbol displays when GPS is in use, so if you don't see it, it isn't in use. You may have seen it there previously due to having Google Latitude enabled. The "enabling" status that you mention sounds more like what we see when enabling Wifi hotspot and I have not seen this with GPS.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I was not aware that we got FB profile pics in Google's native SMS messaging app. If you flash the appropriate files from bloat, you'll get a different messaging app (bubble style SMS) which will display GB profile pics. However, this will then take you down the path of re-introducing the Motoblur social networking applications.

Entered bootloop and still managed to save myself w/o SFBing to stock.

Okay, so I just tried to install this rom from gladatrix rom and I ran into a bootloop. When I saw the flashing red lights, I saw that it meant a soft brick.. Wen't over to the sticky roll-ups and found out that I can simply access recovery manually, etc... Here's what I did to get gingerblur 4 to work w/o having to reflash ANYTHING. Try at your own risk and expense.

1. Pull battery & reinsert.

2. Follow these steps by rev12:

Enter Fastboot:

Hold Volume down + power until you see Fastboot at the top left

Use volume down to scroll down to "Android Recovery" (only shows one item at a time, if you pass it, keep going down, up selects)

Press Volume up to select "Android Recovery"

Once the android / triangle / exclamation point comes up, tap the bottom right of the screen right above the search key.

Enjoy Recovery!

Credits:

rev12

3. Once in recovery, go to wipe data/factory reset and follow on screen options.

4. Once its done, reboot & pull battery.

5. Once again, reinsert battery and power on + volume down until fastboot appears.

6. Scroll down to "Early USB Enumeration" and press volume up.

For some reason, this reinstalled the rom's framework and prevented me from going into further bootloops. After rebooting & powering off over and over again to see if this was simply a random break in software, I am still enjoying root privileges + gingerblur 4

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jnewell05:
Wow like a totally new phone.

Did a fresh install of 1.26 sbf and updated by settings, about phone, system updates. Twice to get to 1.83. Decided i wanted to try a p-rom and so i rooted using gingerbreak. Installed recovery, and rebooted into recovery and installed gingerblur 4.0. Worked like a charm and looks great.

I like vanilla android not all the bs carriers put on phones now. This is as close as you will get, untill bootloader bypass is released.

Wake from suspend bug?

So I just pressed the finger print button to wake my phone and accidentally touched the bottom left options (?) button afterwards and was surprised to see the phone unlocked itself. This is without sliding my finger from left to right as I normally would.

If we can get the next ten readers to test this on their Atrix and post results that would be helpful.

Also, if anyone reading this post is running the stock ROM (i.e. not GingerBlur) can you also test this please, so that we can determine is this is 4.1.83 related or Gingerblur 4.

Thanks.

Yes. If you don't have any "security" on, then your phone will unlock when you press the Menu button. That's a feature, not a bug. I put that in 3.X +. Don't know when I started putting it in.

That's how stock AOSP Android works... I think it's nifty.

You all think I should get rid of it? Totally up to you guys.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jnewell05:
Sorry didn't see your post above
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Wow... I'm surprised to hear that is a stock feature. Nifty... sure. But it seems to defeat the purpose of the slide action unlock. Anywho, if it's stock, then it would make sense for native GingerBlur to maintain the feature. I'd be interested in knowing how to turn it off as I can see myself pocket dialing and don't fancy adding a password in order to disable the one touch unlock bug... I mean feature. :eek:

Wakeup w\menu

Nice feature, IMHO... The chances that you are going to accidently press the power button and then the menu while the phone is in your pocket are pretty slim. If you happen to do it then your hands are spending too much time in your pockets! :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
We'll see if the Samsung Attain 4G is nice. If not, I'm sticking with my trusty Atrix. ;) I'll likely have both phones. I buy a lot of phones for review on my website.

Better than a new release of GingerBlur. Not as good as an unlocked bootloader. :eek:

You might want to go to bed. It'll be a while. I'm gonna be up late!

The buttons are all capacitive, so they respond to the electric energy from your fingers! The buttons can't be pressed by anything that isn't skin, if you've noticed. If you try to tap them with a pen, nothing happens. Pretty neat feature of capacitive screens & buttons IMO.

If your skin is producing a lot of energy through a thin pair of jeans, then maybe you'll provoke a response.
