I have a question and I'm not sure if its Gingerblur as I don't remember trying it before flashing this.

Did Android/Motorola/Gingerblur get rid of the Direct Dial shortcut? I want to assign a direct dial to one of my swipe gestures for launcherpro dock but don't see it anymore.

Is it possible to get back?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ahmarchi:
gignerblur is GREAT... howver i ABSOLUTELKY HATE THE KEYBOARD..... wish i could go back to using the stock keyboard
[Atrix 4G Android Development] d3athsd00r:
If you read the entire first post you will notice a CWM zip file containing the motoblur keyboard.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
Also note, you will need to reboot a couple of times afterwards.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] barry99705:
That's one of the motoblur widgets, you'll have to flash them back on.

i just updated to 4.5 from 4 to fix the themeing issues and now i am having issues reloading the PerformanceManger.apk (task manager) form the bloatware file. i added the .apk file to the \system folder like i have in the past, it shows up in the system folder but will not show up as an available app even after multiple reboots. i did not have this issue with the previous builds.. what could be going on?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
Check your permissions on that file as well as ownership (both owner and group). I think I have seen issues with the ownership causing your problem in the past.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ethantarheels123:
then you can just flash the motokeyboard zip in the op. or you can use smartkeyboard pro with galaxy s skin and make the keyboard big like me :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xandr115:
Yeah, I have space bar issues w/ the current keyboard that I didn't w/ the stock one... I like it... but that's my recurring problem.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] n1ckr0th:
if kenn posted an update where literally the only new feature was a higher version number, i would still flash it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phatboypat:
Try the SwiftKey Beta in the market. The black theme goes well with GingerBlur. It's a great keyboard too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Keyboards

I like the stock GB keyboard... it works well for me. It is all a matter of personal preference. For example: I have two laptops, one an older Dell and the other a Lenovo. I love the Dell keyboard because of the light touch but with the newer Lenovo you need to put your fingers into the pile-driver mode or you will miss a lot of keystrokes. The Android Swiftkey seems nice and perhaps one of the phone Mfgs. will buy them out. :) Each to his own...

Telstra Atrix???

Purchased my Atrix today and am wanting to get rid of as much motoblur as I can, so I like the look of this 'ROM'.

Only question I can't find a clear answer to is,

Can I use the steps here (or on gingerblur website) to root and install this on my stock unrooted Atrix? (Version.4.1.47.MB860.Telstra.en.AU)

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricko2169:
I don't think so as it looks like you have a Australian Telstra specific SBF / Radio, which would not surprise me given its Telstra. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
using this guide follow step 2 for root and recovery, then step 3 applying gingerblur

i don't think you can do step 4 as it's just for 2.1.1 (unless you wanted to flash 2.1.1 - step 1)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chinxos203:
that worked.. after i placed the file in the /system folder i chnaged around its permissions, rebooted and it shows up.

thanks

not sure how all these permission issues keep arising

Hello!

Is there any special procedure I need to follow in order to flash a .zip theme made in the uot kitchen?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joyo22:
Well, I cooked a battery mod in the kitchen and I couldn't flash the zip through CWM, so I took out the file and replaced it with its permissions through root explorer and it worked perfectly. Hope it works for you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rvt1000:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I'm setting up my phone to make daily folder syncs to my main computer (server), and am wondering if there are any other folders I need to include because I'm running GB, as I'm new to Android, and I set this up from a stock Android forum and wanted to run it by GB community to make sure I'm not forgetting anything.

I'm doing

full copy of /sdcard (Phone memory)

full copy /sdcard-ext (External SDcard)

My reasoning of thinking this is all I need is...Titanium BackUp copies all apps and data to sdcard-ext, so I have that with the /sdcard-ext copy. So if I have big failure...I can re-flash GB ver *.* Restore TitBU from computer to restore all apps data...then re-sync my two folders...and i am back to 100% original.

So my question is do I need to include any more folders since I am running GB, or will this default Android setup be the same with GB also. Or I am also open to any other ways to get 100% backup that are easier.

If this needs to be moved to another thread, sorry for posting here, I just wanted everyone who's using GB to see this and confirm.

thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
Go into system restore and make a backup to your ext sd. Then you can just flash that back if anything goes wrong and then copy back your most recent file synch.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
Are you talking about nandroid backup to sdcard before I sync to computer? I have horrible luck with sdcard, and have had 3 fail in the last few years is why I'm trying to keep everything remote now.

So that will get my current GB version and setting backup up making flashing GB not needed to get a 100% restore. Makes more sense than the way I was doing it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drdino:
Did just that but then I get a syntax error in upgrade script message. Is there anything I shouldn't use from the UOT?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
Is there a 1% battery mod for 4.5? I only see one for 3.5.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Not at the moment. There's a GingerBlur theme in the Themes section, but the battery icons aren't that great. Some of them have the wrong color, and they don't have transparent backgrounds so a dark gray shows up on the inside instead of the black notification bar...

I tried making my own, but I wasn't entirely happy with the font I chose. But I had already edited all 100 images so I don't feel like redoing it now :P

I could upload the images if you want to try and get them on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neer2005:
That would be awesome!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I'll post my circle battery icons in the stock gingerblur framework-res.apk later tonight, if anybody's interested. Inculdes 100 battery pngs and 100 charging pngs. The circle changes color depending on battery status.... see my screen shots in the themes forum. Let me know if you want them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Make one in UOT Kitchen
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rvt1000:
KP- you've been kinda quiet the last few days......something cooking in the kitchen? Maybe some true gingerbread goodness?? :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Alright, here are my images: I just took the normal Gingerblur 4.5 images and added text to them. :) Again, nothing too cool and the font I wound up not loving, but I hope this helps!

As for the Theme Kitchen, I had tried that as well, but their "gingerbread" battery icon isn't legit and doesn't match our Gblur theme.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
Yeah do the nandroid to your external-sd card and then sync that off to your server too. then if you need it just put it back and restore it. (test that first).

That should have all of your bases covered.

Nandroid - GB system and base settings

SD and ext-sd - keep your data and TB backups current

Some launchers let you back up their settings too. That way you don't have to recreate your whole desktop, just the widgets.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
How do you do the syncing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drdino:
Didn't get anywhere with the flashable zips so I just replaced the framework using root explorer and set the apropriate permissions, as mentioned earlier.

Can the bootanimation, fonts etc be replaced with other ones using the same method?

Sorry for the noob questions but I have been a bit intimidated by the whole locked thing. :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Boot animation goes in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
Using MyPhoneExplorer...great free way to connect either with usb, copy/sync everything. Can sync contacts to Outlook, Thunderbird, along with calendars, etc. Sync all photos, or just pick folders to sync. I started this after having my backups either be corrupted, or restoring with Titanium not working correctly. This way I have a whole copy of them. First sync will take a long time if you have a ton of GB worth of stuff...but after that it only does new/changed files. You will then always have a local copy of your pictures to access, contacts, calendar, etc. You can also drag/drop files from windows explorer to move files to/from phone over WiFi.

Been pretty impressed with it so far, granted you never really know how well things work until something goes wrong and you need it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AimanF:
Anyone got an quick tips on how to avoid the bootloops? I've tried installing twice and I keep getting the bootloops, I'm wiping data/factory reset, wiping cache, and then wiping dalvik cache before flashing

Any help would really be appreciated!

same thing here
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I've never run into the bootloop, and I've also never wiped any of those things when i flash. Not sure if they are related though. The only thing I've ever wiped is battery stats when i was getting erroneous battery info. Also, I've only been moving along with GB versions, not switching from other P-Roms altogether. Just flashed the .zip with CWM recovery right over the old one. What are starting with, another version of GB?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jc61990:
Ive only flashed from the stock rom 1.83

using gingerbreak then system recovery, then flash the .zip file

i never wiped before installing the new rom and i got a reboot loop first try... after that ill boot into recovery (vol dwn) then do a wipe and the boot loop is fixed but the rom is unstable. i have the flash with rsdlite to get my phone working again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AimanF:
I was starting with stock, I managed to get it working, I flashed to GreyBlur without wiping and after that worked I flashed to Gingerblur without wiping and things seem to be working fine now :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nizhang:
+1 i have the same issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Finally... I thought I was the only one who couldn't factry reset in cwm without getting a bootloop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nizhang:
Well, my situation is exactly as follows:

- Rooted my Atrix with Gingerbreak.

- Installed System Recovery.

- Flashed the GingerBlur 4.5 ROM in.

- At boot up (including the first time after the flash) it crashes and reboots exactly at the same time the SIM card window appears.

- I tried to re-flash booting the phone with Vol-Down + Power pressed (Fastboot displays) but it just won't, crashes at the "Dual Core" screen.

Any suggestion will be very welcome.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
You are gonna have to RSD flash back to 1.26. Pull the battery for a few second put it back in and hold the volume up key until Rsd protocol comes up

Btw are you commingle from gladiatrix by any chance? This happened to me too after flashing GB over gladiatrix instead of going back to stock first.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nizhang:
I'm kinda noob at this. Could you please give me some further details?

I quote myself to post my random-lucky solution:

I just went into the recovery and used both wipe options. After rebooting, the bootloop was gone.

So far no further problems. I keep my fingers crossed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
So I periodically (once every day or two) have a problem with the stock messaging app...I typically don't use it, as I use GoSMS instead. But sometimes I'll open GoSMS and my messages won't appear. And when I go into the stock app to look at what's going on, it continually force closes. I can fix with a restart, but this happens quite often.

Also sometimes I'll open GoSMS like normal and send a message and close my phone. Then I'll open it again later and realize that it is still showing the sending animation, and when I open stock it does the force close thing again.

Does anyone else experience any problems with the stock app? I'd like to just freeze it and only use Go, but then it has those MMS problems, and it doesn't have an option to auto delete messages as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filmusikat:
Yes...I have been having issues with the stock app as well. I'm on version 4.5 of gingerblur...I've never had any issues when was on stock 8.3. Hmmm. It is now laggy... =\
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I didn't have quite the same issues on Stock, but with the stock Moto messenger on 1.83 I noticed sometimes the messaging app would not force close, but it would say "Phone storage full, delete some files to make room for messages" and it wouldn't show messages. Then GoSMS would react the same...

This was always weird because I have like 95% of ALL my storage types free still, including app storage. I'm not sure if this is the same thing that's happening to me now or not, just with a different reaction or whatever.

The Hulu Hack will work, but it's not ideal on the current version on flash. I've manually applied the hulu fix with every update of flash....and it messes with the last version. It will work work to play a hulu video, but it removes the improvements flash made, such as interaction with flash content in full screen playback. Improvements were made to that particular file, and replacing it reverts you to the old way. If you weren't having issues with full-screen playback interaction before then you will be fine, it will work...but not for those experiencing FC issues. Without fix, FC issue solved, no hulu...with fix...hulu works, but FC issue will come back.

I'm not really sure what you mean by posting this link, I know how to flash the sbf file and my phone is not broken. I can run gingerblur, I'm just concerned that the sbf no longer takes my phone back to stock. Sideloading, CWM and the gingerbreak exe. remains on my phone, but maps is missing.

I've returned to stock several times, and I've never had a problem. Obviously I'm missing a step, I can no longer just hook the phone up and run the sbf file. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to settings > manage applications... You will see a list of your apps. Select the app in question and it will give you the option to move the app from the phone to the card or back to the phone. If it is still on the phone then try moving it to the card and then back to the phone...

I do not think that this is a phone problem but never say never... I had to send my Atrix back to Moto because the Touch Screen stopped working.
