GingerBlur Beta 2

Beta 2 is online. No feature changes, just a better install script (hopefully!).

PLEASE: provide feedback and make sure to say "using Beta 2."

Good luck all!

EDIT: BETA 3 online. Made a mistake.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yes! Moto Blur Messaging and Dialer are still there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] endchad:
So, tried testing Beta 1 but it didn't recognize my device...repaired/reinstalled drivers but no luck. Testing Beta 2 to see what changes.

EDIT 1: Still not recognizing my device.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Try installing this program from Moto: http://t.co/vjyHVpg
[Atrix 4G Android Development] endchad:
Thanks! That worked...installing now!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Beta 1 and 2 didn't have the clock app. Oops!

Uploading Beta 3 now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Beta 3 uploaded with better installation script.

Install right over Beta 1, Adeo, etc. Should work out fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Testing out now on a freshly install SBF.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Thank you so much to everyone testing. I know some things aren't working well. I promise it will get smoother and more functional as we progress. I just need to keep testing and improving!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I can say this (beta 2) successfully worked on 4_1.5.2!

No more ATT Lockup!!!

Thanks for the updated script!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
WOW you just keep the good news coming huh? You rock and donations will be coming soon!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cordell507:
i really want to be the fist post on the 100th page
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
How did the test go?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Just finished flashing SBF. Now I'm installing GingerBlur. Then, I'll try the uninstall. If that works fine, I'll reinstall GingerBlur and test out the Restorer (uninstall from backup).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Kenneth said that no one has sent him any dump files for the bell atrix yet. If someone has them can you please send them to him cause im sure that would help. Thanks

EDIT: Said he never had /system or /data dumps sent to him
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
This is the truth! I need those Bell files before even thinking about creating a Bell version!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
http://twitter.com/#!/briefmobile/status/50014786481688576

;) Just found a couple of bugs... restoration of the Moto keyboard didn't work and framework still shows a white clock. Weird. Should be able to fix these quickly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Isnt the clock supposed to be white since its a black notification bar?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
I think he means after uninstalling Gingerblur
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Ahh makes sense. Been one of those days lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Correct!

Uninstall test #2 is under way. So far, I'm surprised that the uninstaller was such a little amount of work. :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NovaPrime:
"You can use both, but I've never tried it to see if it works."

Well Im willing to try it out for you. Games like Samurai II should look pretty awesome on the dlp and the full browser with my logitech edge keyboard will be useful, but I'm not sure Netflix is possible...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Lol I don't know how you do all this great stuff and school and work but we all appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Beta 7 Update

Beta 7 will be released tonight. If not, tomorrow at the very latest! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I think you just made a lot of people happy!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joeycass:
I think I will be staying up on hopes to see it tonight lol!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djkinetic:
I vote for later tonite, sooo mad about the bootloader farce!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] relaxed:
@kennethpenn

Hey,

If you'd like to include a Linux installer with beta 7, get me the INSTALL.bat so I can translate it into a bourne shell script. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

Thanks,

relaxed
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I haven't forgotten! When I finalize the install, uninstall, restore batch files I will send you them asap.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tecnic08:
Why not Bell Atrix yet?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SyNRGz:
Great News!

Are you applying the "Market" & "Broken 5 ghz" fix to 4_ 1.5.2 SBF after the GingerBlur update? Are these still an issue?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] poeticdecision:
Awesome! Even though I do not know what 7 features I'm happy!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I've asked a hundred people for /data and /system dumps to create a Bell version that works, but no one has been able to give me the dumps I need!

For anyone out there:

adb pull /data

adb pull /system

;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yes. Fully integrated with GingerBlur Beta 7.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Massonite:
Hey there, will the new Beta include support for the Bell Atrix? I currently have Adeo installed but always love to try new ROMS :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Uninstaller

Will the uninstaller be able to take me from 6.5 --> 7.0 --> then back to Stock if I need or want to? Can you explain a little as the what the uninstaller be able to do?

Will it utilize the backup that was created during the 6.5 install to be able to go all the way back to stock?

JW
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daveop:
Donated just now, sorry it wasn't more. Your mod has convinced me to keep this phone. I am really grateful for all your work, thank you :)

Conf 91216835A2618634C
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
Please read the thread. I know it's a lot but this was just answered a few posts ago.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
No it won't work with bell atrix until someone sends him the stuff he needs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
This has already been answered. He needs someone to send him the dump files from /system and /data
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Bell Atrix support will probably be added for RC1, but not Beta 7. I want to get Beta 7 out as fast as possible for the eager users.

Actually, I'll release B7 then work on a Bell version of B7 and upload that a bit later than the AT&T version.

The restorer will use your backup to restore the /system/app and /system/framework you had before install.

The uninstaller will reverse GingerBlur actions and replace GingerBlur applications with the stock Atrix ones.

Thank you so much... that's very flattering.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Massonite:
Yes there is quite a bit on here lol. I am looking forward to checking out the ROM once it's working for Bell.

Even though I have Adeo installed, is there anything useful on my phone that could help? I am not sure how to dump files but I'd be happy to help if someone can send me a link on how to do it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daveop:
Of course, I'll try to do more than I can. I sold a friend on an Atrix after he saw your mod too, it's amazing how much better it runs and how much more enjoyable some visual changes can make a phone. Keep up the good work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Ok, I was wondering, because I didn't know if the installer would take that into consideration. I didn't know if you would be able to give options to backup the Beta 6.5 into another seperate folder, which would give a chance to choose to restore the stock backup OR roll back to my 6.5 if I needed to. Just food for thought. Maybe let the user choose which folder to restore from?? could be nice for a future release i think.

JW
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Updates:

- Uninstaller working correctly

- Commencing restorer test #1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kpfury:
I currently have Go Launcher installed - what will installing GB do to my current launcher and settings? thx
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Right there with you. This feature will be a part of RC1. For now, Beta 7 restoration will only let you restore from the last backup on your device.

If you want to keep old backups just in case, make sure to push them to your hard drive during install and just rename them to the date of your backup. That way you'll have a saved backup from that time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SyNRGz:
Excellent.... should we install over 6.5 or best to Flash SBF? I would like to prepare the phone properly... for your greatness ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
GingerBlur comes with a pre-installed launcher. Upon start up of GingerBlur, your Atrix will ask you if you want to use "Go Launcher or Launcher" and you can choose which one you'd like.

You may need to reset some of your widgets and apps on your launcher after install. That's it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mdunn1066:
Ken thank you again for your work. After B7 I will surely donate a bit to you, as someone else said, your rom is literally the reason I have not brought this phone back to the ATT store. Keep up the good work, and heres to crossing my fingers to beta 7 before i go to sleep :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I'm working as fast as possible! I've got a dinner date soon, though. So upload might need to wait a bit. :( Sorry guys!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Backups

So, will installing 7 give me the option? Also, if I do it WILL overwrite the stock backup with one of my current 6.5? Just want to make sure.

JW
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
Come on man, we all understand you have a life and if anyone out here doesn't thats their problem. Do what you gotta do and I'll keep hitting f5 every 5 seconds anyway.

Don't pester him too much folks. He's helping us out for FREE on his OWN time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mdunn1066:
Well its a good thing ill be up for the next 4 - 5 hours haha... oh my poor sleep cycle lol

Dont sacrifice quality for speed, if it takes you longer it takes you longer, do what you have to do :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
If you are running 6.5 and you choose to do a backup during the install of 7, you will overwrite whatever backup exists on your phone at the moment.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Backups

My Quick Solution: Go to root explorer/ES file explorer..--> rename BackupAtrix folder to anything else --> commence new backup when you release 0.7 :) --> Sounds good, and if I need to go back to stock I will change the name back and vise versa..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
So I'm still running 6 bc I have no idea how to do anything and I feel like all I do is click and your script takes care of the rest ( I didn't want to lose the webtop via hdmi hack).

I'm even too Nooby to try to flash the SBF. Can I install 7 over beta 6?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Yes and I believe the webtop hack is an option in beta 7.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rodger-sp:
Ware is the backup on the atrix. I have 6.5

Restore Test #1 - Failure. Soft bricked.

Expect more delays. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] justflorin:
Pum pump pu pummmmmmm

(play that to the tune of Price is right when they guess wrong price)

Keep on trying, as much as we are impatient, we truly are patient :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NovaPrime:
Lmao ...I'm a noob to android too but this rom kitchen sounds like a lot of fun. Actually I've been waiting a long time for a phone like this. Upgraded from a Samsung Blackjack 2 :-P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Mine was actually in /sdcard/atrixbackup

I don't have the folder you said here, maybe that is an issue with the restore?? Just trying to help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Valdeck:
Keep up the good work, cant wait for 7. I am torn about installing it now and upgrading or just waiting for .7 and my gut tells me I will wait for .7 but all your hard work is greatly appreciated :D.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Older Betas back up to atrixbackup.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
Concur greatly. Kenneth, you are the man! For you eager minds out there, patience is a virtue!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Ahhhhh

Understood.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TfzSCVang:
I used to have the Blackjack 2 also =[ Was a nice phone but very laggy, slow, and froze on me a lot even though the ram on it rivaled that of my previous HTC Inc. I loved my Inc too but it in no way compares to the Atrix.

If everyone can, please donate to Kenneth, he's making the Atrix even better than it already is and he's doing it all for what? FOR FREE!!! Much appreciation to Kenneth and the other collaborators on this awesome rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joyo22:
I still don't have the phone in my hands but feel very excited about all the advancements you've made. Congrats on your great work. As soon as I get it installed, expect my donation. Thanks for your great work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Like what you are doing..

Have some fun on me ..

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Thank you. Much appreciated!

Update for everyone: Little bug with Beta 7... the installer reboots the phone before it's done! Argh! Fixing as we speak. Then going out to dinner. Then hopefully upload!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thereal2x:
i dont know why but it seems like with this rom, my battery life is insanely better :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jayrod88:
Late dinner huh? Well sir, I hope you enjoy it! You put a lot of work into this ROM. Thanks again. Donation will be coming soon!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SS2006:
enjoy dinner bud, i already donated!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hrvstr0fsorow:
Have something extra special at dinner. Thanks for all of the work. The Donation should have gone through already.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
anyone know the official latest build for the ATT atrix is im on OLYFR U4_1.2.6 and wanna make sure that is the later ...also wanna know what 1.5.2 is...The reason I ask is I got a Atrix today in a trade and wanna make sure its never been rooted or messed with ...I f there is a way to check please inform me ..The guy factory reset right in front of me and I thought if you were rooted you couldnt do that ...So someone plz answer ASAP
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I'm on the same build, I bought mine from an ATT store a week ago. So, you should be good

I'm not exactly sure what the 1.5.2 is other than a leaked image that is helping people recover from bricked phones right now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
OK so is there a way to check if the phone has ever been rooted b4
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Does it have an app called "superuser" in the app drawer? If not your pretty safe that it's not, I would suggest waiting a few more hours, and then installing the 0.7 beta of Gingerblur on your phone and forget about anything that has been dine previously on the phone, I'm pretty sure a factory reset would have left the superuser app still in the drawer though.

Sent from my Gingerblurred Atrix using the XDA app!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
ok what the best new method for rooting cause im start crackin open this ***** tomorrow night
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Like I said, Gingerblur will root, deox, and basically give your atrix a BJ, the newest version should be out very soon, read the first page, it gives you everything your wanting and more

Sent from my Gingerblurred Atrix using the XDA app!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
but if you want just root use aRoot by designgears
[Atrix 4G Android Development] twistedangelx:
Give it a bj? Interesting...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
There may not be because a rooted Atrix can also be unrooted thanks to DG's awesome scripting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
hey, i just installed the 6.5 yesterday on a fresh 1.5.2 att atrix, it really works great, but the physical home button isnt working anymore (tried with the stock launched, ADW and Launcherpro), so ill be restoring or reflashing with the 1.5.2. firmware
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kpfury:
Oh nice. Will installing GB, but then opting to continue to use my current Go Launcher make my phone speedier/snappier, or will it only make a difference if I use GB? Thanks for all your hard work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fastbikedroid:
Waiting for the next beta

.. but sent you a few bucks in advance. Good stuff!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
How do I access multiple email accounts on this version? For instance if I go to email I dont see a way to change the email account, and their use to be an app called messaging that would display all the email accounts but it no longer exist
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
Maybe the "physical" home button isn't working because there isn't one...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motoatrix:
Hello everyone, maybe i'm just a newbie but yesterday i just know noticed my internet the H is not working? I have had this GB 6.5 when it first came out and swore it was working not sure what I tap or hit, can anyone help? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motoatrix:
I figured it out it was my APN, somehow it was disabled.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mrshowtime:
How much longer till the release of beta 7?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lsxrx7:
he said sometime today, read the damn thread

go get laid or something, quit bugging the man

he had a date
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
*hits F5* lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mrshowtime:
Lol quit bugging the man? Lol I just registered on the site today. It clearly says I have one post, so I don't think asking one question is considered "bugging". And go get laid? Lol your responding to my post so obviously your not going too well in that department
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
It'll pop up sooner or later
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
We need to not fight, we all want the same thing, and its OK to post about the eagerness... We are all refreshing and waiting, and posting about it is natural. So, post all you want Mr. showtime ..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Its tough since we only have one person putting roms together. If we had more cooks ken wouldn't be getting bugged non stop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mrshowtime:
lol true, hopefully it wont be too much longer
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
We need to all donate that keeps bugging him since we are all so impatient.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RoadCyclist:
I don't really know what GingerBlur is, even though I'm looking at on the 1st page. Looks like a different OS. Not sure about the benefits though. Guess I have a lot of reading to do.

Sorry, I'm an Android newb. Just got the Atrix and came from an iPhone 3G. Loving the Android OS so far. But I guess there's always room for improvement.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
Its not a different OS just a modified version of the existing one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Gingerblur is still the stock os that the atrix was shipped with. Files were changed to give it an overall different appearance. There are also features that were added such as tethering ect...that was not shipped with the stock rom. Also much of motoblur has been removed or frozen giving slightly better performance. This is what's great about android. Taking a great phone and making it better
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RoadCyclist:
Oh okay, I'll have to check into it. Looks pretty nice though. I do like some of the widgets, such as the notification widget that lets me know if I have any new emails from either of my two accounts.

Yeah, the diversity of the Android stuff - coming from a very standard OS in the iPhone, is a bit overwhelming.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
I felt the same way coming from an iPhone 3GS
[Atrix 4G Android Development] grayfoxx:
Welcome!

Welcome to the real world! You just took the red pill....

im sorry if your actually sitting there hitting f5..u have no life

if its a joke, good one!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Beta 7 on its way once I show that bug who's boss. I don't want everyone's installation restarting right in the middle!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] motoatrix:
Thanks Kenneth, can't wait to test it out.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:

At least we have the Stock Flash if things get messy now!!!!

Did everyone get this already, I can't believe it was put up for download.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RoadCyclist:
Good to know, thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
I offered as well, and I'm fairly certain he already has the system and data dumps from someone else. Just FYI
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I've already got em! Thank you though!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] darknights:
Thank you,

I Just Registered with the site, been folowing this post for some time now, I just wanted to tell you thank you for doing all this work buddy, From following this, I do realize a lot of people are not patient when it comes to this, but they are just excited, including myself for the next beta. Iv never modded my phone yet or anything, just bored and want a new look already and i havent even had the thing a month yet, still figuring it all out. But i look forward to this release, hope that i can video call to a pc soon, but all in all, i just wanted to show my appreciation to you for this work that you have been doing. Again thank you very much.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Would I need to back up my apps with TiBU before I flash SBF?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
The removing bloatware function seems to destabilize and restart the phone before the installation process is even done. Argh!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lenetzky:
New to Android

Hey guy,

just jumped ship from blackberry. Happy to see someone working to mod the new phone. Installed 6.5 and looking forward to 7. Keep up the great work Ken.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Thanks! Enjoy! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
For the most part, we can remove/freeze the bloatware ourselves right? Would that make it any easier for you?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djkinetic:
if you want to go the extra mile mod the fonts on ur phone's, lol such a little thing like the way text looks makes a world of difference =P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Why all the rushing from everyone, is there a deadline or something..? :-)

Kenneth, take your time!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Whst exactly does Titanium Backup actually save? Just appps or settings aswell
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
It can save both! Data from apps as well as the apps themselves. Pretty amazing really.

Update for everyone: flashed SBF and trying a new strategy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Just curious did you use the new retail sbf? If so obviously everything went well with it with no missing market or wifi issues?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I used the retail sbf for this try, but GingerBlur should work on both ideally. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] milesjohnson:
Okay thankyou for the quick reply! One more question though, when I sbf flash what exactly does it remove? Just apps? or...what else
