gingerblur4.5 to the ota gingerbread

how can i put gingerbread 2.3 ota or something,as easy hellllllp a wile back i put gingerblur on here now im stuck helppppp
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
You should avoid OTA (see briefmobile for explanation). If you want stock, see Kenneth's post in the General area. If you want something non-stock but still in development, see Kenneth's post under dev called Beta 4. There's is also a very promising ROM based on the Orange ROM called Cherryblur. You must be careful as this is all fast moving and following a guide should be after reading the instructions thoroughly to be sure it applies to your existing setup.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] epoh:
Possibly a dumb question, but I haven't seen the answer. I'm running 1.83 with gingerblur, do I need to re-flash back to stock 1.83 before I upgrade to gingerbread?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
I am interested in this answer too. Also, I would like to stick to the gingerblur style, I believe that Kenneth's Beta 4 is the best way to do that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I would reflash 4.1.83 and then gingerblur 4.5 and not move apps to sd. There is limited support for anything new on this ROM so sticking to a known working config is important.

EDIT: My phone updated itself to the new Market this evening. I didn't tell it to. It prompted me to accept a new agreement of some sort. No issues to report so far. I noticed that it is detecting the non-Market apps, i.e. Amazon AppStore apps and showing them as installed as well as if there are updates for them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
661k views and dozens of updates later... GingerBlur is now expired. Check out my Gingerbread works over at the Alien ROM thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
Does anyone know how to restore ads via the hosts file in Gingerblur 4.5? I'm having issues running some apps with ads blocked and need to restore it..but not quite sure how to do that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
If it is like any other hosts file you just delete the lines in the file for the servers that you no longer want to redirect.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
Yeah, I've messed with my hosts file on my PC a few times, if it is anything like that. My troubles are way before that part though. I can't even find it. I've looked using 3 different file explorers, and come up with nothing. Where is the hosts file?

thanks

EDIT: Hmm...they showed up after a reset. It's not exactly obvious to me at least what to change after opening it up though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
So I found the problem. It was Root Explorer wasn't actually mounting the system/etc/hosts as writable. I used ES Explorer and deleted the file and created a new one.

This is all I put in it:

127.0.0.1 localhost

All my apps are now working correctly, does anyone have an original unmodified hosts file to see if I am missing anything else that needs to be in the file.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
No need. The purpose of a hosts file is for name resolution. Systems are configured by the admin to process DNS then hosts or hosts then DNS. I assume Android processes the hosts file first. The only other info in the file would be comments.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jbradshw:
We took it back to stock 1.5.2 and we still get the same problem with the market not working with the SIM card installed. So I guess it's off to AT&T tomorrow to see what's up.

My phone stuck on motorola dual core techonology boot screen after flashing the ROM from Alien v4. I leaved the phone for 10 minutes but nothing happened.

Flashed the ROM back to Alien v4.

Am I missing some thing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ciloteille:
Because this does not have all the files for the is to load. This is loaded over like Att stock rom so to say.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tsouza:
This is a P-ROM, you can only flash this over official SBF.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
I think that you are missing the fact that Gingerblur 4.5 runs on top of Froyo (is a P-Rom) and Alien 4 is a ROM based on Gingerbread 2.3.4. so, if you flashed Alien, you said good-bay to Froyo.

I you intend to revert, I recommend you look at

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15152908&postcount=2

And there after, unlock and root your phone before proceeding to any Rom based on Gingerbread (that is 4.3.91).. if you did so, suggest dont go back. You might brick your phone.

good luck !!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Sorry if this has been posted before but will this Rom work with UK Atrix?

BTW, what is Bell Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] d3athsd00r:
Why are you still using froyo when there are multiple gingerbread ROMS that support international phones???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
I would ask the same question as my predecessor. Gingerblur is deprecated,

BTW,,,, What is UK Atrix ???

If is a International Atrix, you have choices as friend said.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Just to clarify, is this an international Rom?

And what is Bell Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
Most if not all ROMs developed for the Atrix rely on Faux123 unified Kernel for both, the ATT (US) and International version

Just look at the OP for the one of your choice or want to give it a try and make sure it states so.

A Bell Atrix is a version made for the Canadian Market very similar to the US ATT version but with with different radio to accommodate for the Canadian regulations.

Cheers

Holly sh*t people, let this thread die a respectful death already... why do people keep installing this...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
I know! There's no more updates for this, everyone should unlock they're bootloaders and flash alien if they want something similar, if not cm7
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slashmania:
So I tried flashing this ROM over a rooted, unlocked device using ROM manager with the latest CWM, and it finished installing A-OK. now when the phone booted after the installation, it is stuck on the MOTO welcome screen, and wont boot. Any suggestions? Plz help forum.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
This thread is SUPER OLD! FLASH CM7! you can't even flash this rom with the unlock recovery, its a pseudo rom, not a actual rom
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IUH1991:
Why do you guys even bother searching for this when it's buried in the depths of old threads on this forum. You're missing out on some awesome ROMs like Aura, Alien, home base and CM7. Check those out!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
I assume people necro these threads when they see them on google. When I type in xda atrix in google, the first result is DG's old thread on root, tethering, and locked bootloader.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IUH1991:
Yeah, and if you search Gingerbread for atrix on Youtube, one of the first vids is an installation guide for gingerblur lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
There we go! Problem solved! So yeah, don't worry about this. I suggest Aura, Homebase, or Darkside ROM. These are all very developed, and have EXT4 support. Or try CM7 if you want!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slashmania:
Now do I have to flash the .sbf before I try the CM7?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lsxrx7:
try not to

i did it, and the phone did reboot itself ... ehh ... once ... lol

so i flash the SBF and started over, no problems since
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shahuln:
ok thanks a lot. i will flash SBF first and 6.5 after that
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
This question may have been asked already but as you can see, there are a whopping 65 posts, and to go through them all is quite arduous, so dont mind my noob question if it was already addressed in here.

Is this rom like any normal roms? Meaning, will all my apps get erased when i install it? I currently have Adeo 0.1 rom, and am just curious.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
No all apps should still be in place, you dont lose anything except sometimes contacts and the few widget bugs he mentions on the first post.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
maybe a small problem, dunno if it's on my side or GB 6.5b.

There is absolutely no trace of Quickoffice on my device. I started with a fresh SBF 1.5.2 flash, then immediately pushed GB 6.5. anyone have access to the apk or any other files I would need to get this back on my phone?

I checked out the /system/app & /system/framework backup that GB 6.5 made of the bone stock 1.5.2 to no avail. nor did I find it in my old TiBu folder. But then again I was only searching for 'office' and 'quick', so if the file is named something different I would have missed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
QuickOffice is purposely removed. ;)

You can get it back by renaming it from .apk.bak to .apk
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
Ahh I was confused since I'm pretty sure it was still there in GB 6b.

Thanks for the quick reply.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jthornton71707:
Thinking of trying this but have a question. If I don't like it or something goes wrong how easy is it to get back to stock?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
To get back to stock, just flash the SBF. That's stock stock stock though... all your stuff wiped. ;)

Beta version 7 will include an uninstaller that restores backups.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fRenZy-_-:
im running adeo v0.1 and can i install this right over it? will there be any problems? thanx, but ill wait for v7 though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lsxrx7:
just back up your stuff

worst case u'll have to do is flash the sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tomlee337:
So let me get this straight. If I want to install Beta 6.5, then I have to do an SBF and then install? So i have to delete everything that I have already and reinstall it? Is this Beta any different from the beta 6?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Nope it isn't much different. I'm only tweaking the installer to work better.

You don't have to flash SBF... it just guarantees no problems if you do.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Shouldn't be any problems running over Adeo.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] holtenc:
Would it be named quickoffice.apk.bak? If so I don't have it. All I have is the /system/app and /system/framework backup that the GB6.5b bat installer put on my hardrive in the installer directory. If it also created backup files on the phones internal storage, I would have deleted it thinking it was just a copy if what the installer created on my HDD.

TLDR: does anyone have the .apk for quickoffice? If so I would greatly appreciate it if were made available for download.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
It might be under /data/app. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
For some reason, when i run install.bat it never gets past the "Do you want to block advertisements in the browser (Y/N)?" after i press Y and enter... It just closes after that. Any reason for this? I downloaded the 6.5 version.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] slashmania:
Thanks for the awesome help! now before I did the stupid mistake of flashing gingerblur on stock GB, I had rooted, and unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM by using ROM manager. So looking at your awesome instructions, I guess the only thing I need to do is:

1. boot into recovery mode

2. erase data and cache

3. push the .zip to the sd card

4. install the .zip

Now the only thing I do not understand is how to push the file to the phone's SD card. I have only used the push command once when I owened the SGS, and I fear to hard brick this fone by giving a wrong command. If you will please spell out the command for the push file step, I will really appreciate it.

Thanks again for all the help man!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
adb push and large files such as flash able zips isn't the best method to transferring stuff to the sdcard (most believe it will mess with the files transferred), from CWM go to mounts and storage scroll down to usb mode then copy paste the beta.zip onto the sdcard then flash it from cwm as normal. Though since you need the adb commands for future use with .apk files or anything less than a few megs

adb usb

adb push <current file path> <path you want the file to be>

what gets people is failing to set the correct permissions such as files in /system /data etc

adb shell

su

chmod 755 /pathtoapplication/applicationname

easiest way to find out what permissions you should use in a file directory is to use root explorer, 755 is good for apks and scripts though useless for zips or anything else in the sdcards also read up here for more info

This any better than cm7? If do can I just install over cm7?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phoneguy589:
Not sure if I'm just doing things wrong but most of the files I download are already in CWM form so I connect my phone via usb, drag the file over to my sd-card...int or ext and then boot into CWM and install the zip. I honestly can say I've never really used adb although I should learn.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] d3athsd00r:

Apologies if this has already been answered, but does this P-ROM work on T-Mobile UK devices? Obviously in the OP it says that it won't work on the Bell Atrix, but I can't see anything about UK phones. It looks great, anyway.

Thanks :)

EDIT: To clarify, I'm on Orange at the moment and I'm switching to T-Mobile with my Atrix arriving in the post fairly soon. So it's the T-Mobile phone I'm getting, although I hear that most Orange ROMs should work with the T-Mobile phones.

HDMI Mirroring... does the latest build allow for Landscape presentation??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Really? :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AllyKat:
Without any markers on this thread, I am able to tell when the newest build (4.5) was released... so I do not have time to read all of nearly 700 pages of threads to see if this was asked.

The only references that I can find online indicate that HDMI Mirroring was restricted in Portrait Mode in previous GingerBlur releases.

I just flashed my phone with GingerBlur (my first custom ROM on this model of phone) and my TV is in for repairs with BestBuy. So, I would prefer to know if I have to switch to Alien to have that feature. I really would prefer to keep on GingerBlur because it is extremely stable and I seem to have better battery life than prior. (Plus, there seems to be an inconsistent consensus about whether not my Bell Atrix simply requires me to launch System Recovery and load the ROM versus also having to do Kernal Tweaks. Right now that sounds like a lot of extra work if its not necessary.)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
This isn't a ROM it was a P-ROM (theme) for froyo that you shouldn't be using any more unless you're on a locked bootloader on 2.2.2???

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
This has been a problem with all of my Android phones. I'm not sure why. It has trouble communicating with the Messaging application to see if you've already looked at that message. I know exactly what you're talking about.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
I don't seem to have this issue. Are you running 6 or 6.5?

Also, Kenneth I kept 6 because I really like the HDMI webtop hack and free tethering. When I'm on webtop I use the ATT free tether APN and then when I'm on my phone I change back to ATT US (wap.cingular) and I have no issues what so ever.

If you really miss the synced pictures- use and app called syncmypix. It's free and does the job.

If you miss the calendar widget- use "smooth calendar". Again, free and awesome.

Kenneth, let me know if the donation goes through. I've never used paypal before.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Good suggestions for calendar & facebook pics!

Rest assured that Beta 7 will include HDMI mirroring, Webtop hack, and tethering again as options!

No, nothing messes up. However, factory reset post gingerblur install does not take you back to stock. You need to flash the sbf for that.
