woah is this true??

I haven't really noticed the battery, i apologize in advance, I don't want to be the one spreading baseless rumors either, but I am pretty absent minded and prone to charging my phone whenever its not maxed out

Kenneth, in Lieu of your frustration I've just donated $10 your way to go buy a couple of beers. Actually that's $10au, so should buy you a case or two. :D

The majority of us are very appreciative of your efforts.

Keep up the good work mate.

Thank you. But I don't see anything about a CWM method there?! It's all batch scripts. I also tried searching the the entire thread with "CWM" but no results.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
There are a bunch of zip files that you download. Then you install tenfar's CWM on your rooted phone. hit install recovery, then hit recovery boot. Then you go in and install from sd card. It's as simple as that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pbleonidus:

GingerBlur

Looking forward to 3.5 :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Silent8Strike:
I'm not sure why this seems to be a problem for some people, I flashed the SBF, rooted, installed recovery and then installed 3.1 right away with no problems. It works great and I'm not getting any battery drain that people keep complaining about.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
CWM install should take only a few seconds.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
Did you chose update or select zip from card?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lyon21:
Ok. So I really like gingerblur and am thinking about installing but don't want to if 3.5 will be out soon. Do we have any kind of ETA on this ken? If its going to be a while then I'll install now but if only a couple days or something, I'll wait.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dispatch:
I had this problem when I first rooted and installed GB 2.5.

I think it results from flashing during a pending update.

I fixed it by RSD'ing back to 1.26 (get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065108), the flashed GB 3.1 following instructions here: http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-rom-installation-guide
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
As a Gingerblurrer since Beta1 I know this probably isn't a 3.1 issue, but in 30 minutes my battery went from 100 to 35%. I'm not a complete noob and nothing was showing up on the battery usage. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this with 3.1 ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] njinstantkarma:
Yes i was in a pending update Man this sucks I dont wanna have to start from scratch... I guess I have no choice might as well wait for 3.5 to come out first..... Thanks for your quick reply.....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pbleonidus:
i dont remember... which one am i supposed to do?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] noxlord:
ah !, The waiting game :rolleyes: I play it all the time !!!! I will be waiting for the promised 3.5 release and read up on flashing and stuff in the meantime so I am ready when it's out.

if i try do appl sdcard update zip it says it cant find/open an update, so it aborts installation...

im trying the select zip from sd card again, it says installing update... we shall see what happens...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Hey Vigneshd,

This is almost certainly a battery stats error. Common ways to fix these errors:

- Reset battery in CWM (under Advanced)

- Drain your battery to 0 percent and let it turn the phone off, then charge it back up to 100%.

My battery is lasting quite long. I can usually squeeze a couple full days out of GingerBlur 3.1.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pbleonidus:
after 5 mins, nothing... any help here? idk what the problem is...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
This is what I was pointing out!

pbleonidus, Which zip you tried to CWM?

Because V8 for example is a script. Inside the the zip there's the install.bat file.

CWM using it would probably cause the problem pbleonidus is having.

I have Tenfar's CWM already installed since I'm on the GB 3.1 ROM.

Please be patient and clarify to us which zip file to go with CWM?

[another Q: Plugging to AC outlet is a requirement when using Tenfar's CWM?]

cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
I must certainly have a defect battery then. Do you have it on 2g and only turn on the Internet connection when you need it? How many hrs screen time?

Please respond Ken!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Nope I never disable data. I use the default settings + GingerBlur modifications. I traditionally use my device moderately throughout the day to check my website and sometimes navigate. I do keep GPS and Bluetooth disabled unless needed.

Try out the battery re-configuration that I told you about. Might just work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Will do, thanks Ken!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Recon Freak:
I held off of gingerblur because of the calendar widget being broken but installed anyway now! Widget works for me. I spent all day on Edge 40 mins on internet and push all data. Unplugged since 6 am central got 60% left. I'd say battery life is awesome! Thanks Ken!!!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
You can do that and probably have the same outcome or read a few page back and understand why...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
I'm trying kenneth's suggestion now since I noticed fast battery drains too (actually before I installed the gingerblur rom). So I wiped battery stats in CWM and waited for my Atrix to completely shut off. The strange thing is that after I plugged it to the AC wall charger, it started charging starting from 50%!!

Will let you know what happens after I unplug on 100% and test it through the day.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I'm at 9 hours since last unplug:

Wifi been on the whole time.

Downloaded over 500 MB podcasts.

Listened to 2 hours of podcasts, speaker not headphones, screen off.

Streamed 1 1/2 hours U-stream show full-screen w/ default browser, no headphones, screen 1/2 bright.

Full data sync enabled all day.

1 hour gps navigation with google nav & satellite layer.

Screen auto brightness, besides when I upped it for the Ustream show.

Just now got 15% warning....I would say that's a pretty good day.

Titanium says I have 92 apps installed, so GingerBlur even bogged down with a healthy number of apps is not draining battery here. I would say it is helping.

I have noticed a really high pitched whine, and odd sound coming from the a/c adapter every time I boot using CWM recovery...always makes me a little nervous that a surge isn't getting past the converter to the battery. I've always started back at the same battery % reading...haven't noticed any weird jumps yet. The last few times I've installed anything, I plugged my A/C into a plug on my Battery backup...I always get a little nervous the power with go out in the middle of a firmware install and screw things up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Julian713:
Hey guys I have no clue whats going on. So I did fresh install from 1.2 (flashed sbf), updated to 1.5.7, rooted the phone, sideloading enabled, installed CWM Recovery (tested it out, worked fine, loaded to recovery). Then I updated using the OTA 1.8 update. Phone updated fine. Then I tried to use CWM Recovery (installed it, got succes), when I press recovery nothing happens, it doesnt work. Any clue on this?

EDIT: So I finally figured out what was wrong. So once you update to 1.8.3 you have to run GingerBreak (or whatever you do to root). Even if you were rooted on 1.5.7. I read the forum so I know some other people were having this issue. Hope its helpful for whoever needs its. If this was a waste of a post sorry, I dont mean to spam.

Anyone having battery issues with this rom (overheating and poor battery life)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricko2169:
Install twice for good measure, ensuring you accept the superuser request. I have noticed that my touchscreen response is very poor during installation of CWM.

Do you have the phone plugged in to an AC outlet when tapping recovery mode?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricko2169:
Anyone with battery issues

If you are having battery issues with your phone then please do the following before posting a comment and filling up the thread with the same comments over and over.

1. Enter CWM via Sytem Recovery "Recovery Mode" (with the phone plugged into the AC outlet).

2. Once into recovery cycle down to "advanced" with the volume rocker and hit the power button to select.

3. Now cycle to "wipe battery stats" and hit the power button to select it. Repeat for good measure.

4. Cycle down to "go back" and select.

5. Select 'reboot system" and unlpug your phone.

6. use your phone until it turns itself off.

7. Turn it back on and let it turn itself off again.

8. Charge overnight while switched off.

As kenneth has stated several times, there is nothing in the ROM that would have any noticeable impact on battery life over stock. The above is a recognised procdedure for rooted android phones.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Julian713:
Yeah I fig it out. I was rooted on 1.5.7 and when I updated I didnt think I had to root again because I was able to install apps and even use StepCPU on 1.8. Then I just said WTH why not just root it one more time and problem solved.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bem93080:
Thanks I did not know about this. Also I installed an HSUPA radio and wasn't sure if it was the radio or the rom. I will try this and see if it helps.

photo editing...

Hello all,

Just switched to Gingerblur.

I thought I could keep the original gallery app...

It's not that I miss the app itself but it came with an editor...

I know there are editors on the market but none off them are keeping a good resolution for the pics.

Can I download/install the gallery app back ?

Any other solution ?

Thank you !
[Atrix 4G Android Development] deromedi:
gallery app

No more issue for the gallery app... I flashed the bloatware.

I am having this issue : when I open try to open the folder list in the gallery, it goes back to home screen...

Thank you for your help !
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
does anyone know where the messaging APK is in the gingerblur ZIP? for some reason it is not in my install anymore. i ran some bloatware restore yesterday and since then, i have not been able to receive any SMS. i believe this is due to the stock messaging app not being installed, but i have no idea how it got uninstalled, and i can't find where it is to re-install it :(

EDIT: also, my TiBu has "Text Messaging 2.2.1" and "Messaging 2.2.1" apps backed up, but crossed out, and for some reason i cannot restore them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Something strange happen, suddenly, i got after reboot the 1.83 update notifications.

And at the phone status i see 1.57 stock.. no gingerblur anymore.

I am on GingerBlur 3.1.

How is this happen? what do to now ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
instability

From my own experience with GB 3.1...

At first it ran well but I never installed the moto MT keyboard. I installed a foreign language keyboard and after that the touchscreen became erratic and would stop receiving input. The hapatic feedback intensity also went way up to the point where it was annoying. I tried to install the motokeyboard zip file but it would never show up as an input selection... only the swype keyboard.

I tried to do a "factory" restore from CWM but the login to motoblur would keep looping back to the enter username and password screens. It would say that it was finished but when you pressed done it would loop back and ask for un & pw again. I finally got in to CWM and re-installed GB and went through the MB login again but this time when it said that it was done I rebooted. I now have the moto MT keyboard and everything is working great. No issues with the battery.

"if it works, don't fix it..."

Gmail Not Syncing

First, great mod/theme, I appreciate all of the hard work that went into this.

Second, after applying GingerBlur my Gmail stopped syncing automatically. I was using my phone for some time before applying GingerBlur so it is possible that applying the mod to a completely wiped phone would solve this.

Anyways, I discovered this old thread from a Nexus One forum:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3bc9d1f3a8547139&hl=en

It basically says to clear all data and cache information from Gmail. I did it and that solved my issues. I hope that others can find this solution in the future if it happens to them.

Finally, I have been trying to monitor this thread, but I must admit the popularity of it makes it hard to keep up. Every few days I have to declare bankruptcy and just skip to the most recent post. So if I missed a post about this issue already, I apologize.

Battery

This is for people saying there is something wrong with the ROM and it killing the battery. I just finally got 3.1 on my phone because I was having an issue with getting Recovery to work. So finally got 3.1 working on my phone its been on for:

4h 17m since unplugged

Voice Calls: 48% 25m

Display: 15% time on 30m

Phone idle: 12% time on 3h 48m

Cell Standby: 7% time on 4h 32m

Wi-Fi: 6% time one: 3h 32m

Android System: 6%

A few texts, some messages on google voice app. Wi-Fi, GPS, Sync, and Display brightness set to automatic has been on all 4h 17m. I did disable "background data" and "Data enabled"

As I typed this it just turned to 80% remaining on my battery. I think is pretty good I feel its working just as good as stock if not better. Also I didnt use recovery to reset the battery or anything I dont know if I should. But overall its been working GREAT.

Thank you kennethpenn for all the GREAT ROMs and hard work!

Update:

I been unplugged for over 10 hours and I'm down to 70%
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
what apks in the bloat restorer are for the moto versions of the Music player, alarm clock and gallery?

The moto alarm clock and Music player are LOADS better than the google counterparts imo (alarm has a neat way of snoozing, stopping alarm. the music player is A LOT smoother and snappier). Also, the music player was just released on the market

I dont know about you guys, but I hate the stock gallery, especially the mess it creates when an app installs photos on the sd card - and yes, I know you can add .nomedia to the folder - but why? Moto's gallery makes it much cleaner

Sure, stock may mean "non bloat," but to me, functionality trumps all - and in these cases, the stock versions *feel* like bloat to me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kaka1:
Thanks............
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Or do you mean Android 2.2 vs 2.3?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gera4ever94:
I'm also having this issue. Kenneth said he would try to update the bloatware zip with the 2.2.2 files when he has time. Maybe this will fix our issue seeing as though the files in the bloatware zip are for version 2.2.1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
1) From what I can see the music.apk is the same in both gingerblur-3-1 and GreyBlur-2-1

music.apk 3,939,661 bytes

GingerBLur and GreyBlur state that Honeycomb Music player are included. So perhaps I should be looking at an older GreyBlur build.

As yet, I have not used the approach described to make changes

2) New objective: upgrade to Google's latest Music app from market. Attempting to install from Market, does not appear to work. App seems to install, but then looking in the Market under My Apps it shows as 'Installing' indefinitely.

I think that for the Atrix, we need to revert to a prior build of the music application (and any other dependent files) and then install Music from the Market. I hope my take on this is correct, despite not being a ROM developer.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gera4ever94:
You're looking in the wrong zip files. I said an older version of Gingerblur not Greyblur. All the Greyblur zips have the honeycomb music player. But with Gingerblur, the honeycomb music player was just added with the newer versions like 2.5 and 3.1. But if you look in the Gingerblur 2.1 zip or anything before then, you will find the stock music apk you are looking for.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CamoGeko:
Is there a version of Gingerblur that is compatible with OTA 1.57?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Changeisgood52:
....... Not sure
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gera4ever94:
2.1 and 2.5
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
And you'd think a guy that work in IT would have noticed his error... Thanks for pointing that out. Anywho, I'm going to guess that based on my failed attempts to install the newest Google Music app (my new objective) from Android Market and side-loading via com.google.android.music-1.apk, I think I should defer to the forum for some tips on the correct path
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dac1227:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CamoGeko:

I guess v2.5 is better than 2.1?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricko2169:
Go into the 3D gallery and delete any folders / placeholders that dont have a preview picture.

I had the same issue, and once i did this the stock moto gallery works well. May require reboot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LayzeeEyez:
Yep, if I had the changelogs I'd post them too lol, ask Ken about the changes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricko2169:
Not 100% sure of what you are asking, but if you are trying to go back to the motoblur messaging app, you need to install both the Messaging.apk and the Conversations.apk in the bloatware zip.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Akira459:
so do we have an ETA on 3.5? I'm finally ready to put one of these on my phone
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Julian713:
No ETA has been released I think we will just have to wait. 3.1 is working well and most of the time there is always an update you can add. I'd say jump on 3.1 for now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:

BTW, you NEED the stock music player installed to have the car dock music player to work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Arikara:
Does it go with gingerbreak or do you have to SBF? and reflash again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Akira459:
how easy is this to uninstall and go back to how my phone is pre-gingerblur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricko2169:
After you root and install CWM, just do a backup before installing. Then you can restore the backup via CWM if you want to go back.

Or alternatively, you can flash the latest SBF through RSD Lite and go back that way (you will lose root though).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] noxlord:
Ken have probably been watching the keynote and looking at the googleIO presentations all day :D There is no eta, but since ken most likely have a life outside android development on the side, he probably have more time to code in the weekend, I think most of his updates were made on sunday evenings if I remember correctly.

Two things: 1) can you list the file changes you made please 2) Any thoughts on downloading the Google Music app from the Android Market?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
I recommend you uninstalling any Android market Google Music app first. Then using root explorer and going into /system/apps and delete music.apk. Then download and move the apk to /system/apps and make sure the permissions are set correct. Reboot Phone

I tried to install the music player from the market and it just failed installation. Whats weird is that the first time opening a song, it asks where I want to play it; and the new music app is listed, as well as the motorola one.
