Just want to make sure I'm not the only one having this problem but is everyones facebook contacts not syncing with text messages and if so has anyone found a fix for this
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I do not require these ZIP files, I have fixed my issues on my own, I was just noticing that half the questions up on here might be more easily answered that way. Seems everyone has similar issues, and most are resolved by pushing certain bloatware back, but not all. I have fixed all of my issues. I just thought that it would be easier for those who don't really "Get it" do just use pre-compiled ZIP files...

I don't think it is very lazy to ask a dev for things like that though, it is what they are there to help with, they make the files, we flash them.. right? That is why I donated money to Ken. I understand he is busy though, and I wouldn't expect these things to be up any time soon

Being that I am NOT a dev. I don't feel comfortable just removing apk's MYSELF that i don't fully understand the purpose of or what they do and flashing a ZIP and hoping for the best...

You need to do the full update and follow all the steps... so yes, you need to flash 1.26 sbf and go from there
[Atrix 4G Android Development] illmatic416:
What you can do is in Gmail, under contacts, you can mark the people you want to show up in Android by "Starred in Android." When you sync your Google contacts, choose favorites and it will only display those contacts. Hope that helps somewhat.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
to fix the facebook contacts thing that should be in general :p

go to settings>accounts>manage accounts

remove facebook from your social accounts.

go in the market and download facebook.

fixed.

Does anyone know if I can get away by putting the ROM on the phone's internal storage vs. external microSD card. The reason I ask is because I don't have a microSD card with me. I really want to flash this ROM, but wanted to make sure that this will work off the phone's internal storage.

Thanks..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tekpc2k2:
Slayu,

If I'm not mistaken it only runs off an SD card.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slayu:
I think I found my answer. The CWM recovery only supported external SD card, it looks like the newer version supports installing from phone's internal SD card.

"UPDATED 2011-0404-1555 GMT +8

add support for choose zip from internal sdcard

add support for power off charging as some one requested."

Thank you SO much. What a brilliantly simple idea.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FuzeLearner:
Is it possible to pull the .apk files out of the update.zip and run it with adb? Or is the script inside of them different for the different install methods? (Just thinking this could be easier and quicker for some installing only one or two .akp files and who are familiar with adb!)

Thanks

I am reading now an issue with the fingerprint reader on this ROM. I have reflashed 1.1 4 times but still can't get the fingerprint reader to work. Is there any way to fix with out going back to the beginning? I did use TB to restore everything but only did apps and data.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cdawg3731:
Well, that is...I thought it was a brilliantly simple idea until it somehow still installed all of the .apks... I deleted all the unwanted .apks from /system/app then transfered the .zip to the SD card on my phone, rebooted into the recovery and flashed the .zip and despite there only being the two .apks in the zip all that bloatware is like AT&T Navigator and Code Scanner are now installed... I'm even double checking the .zip to make sure no other .apks are in the /app folder and it looks good: only the two I wanted are in there. So...

1) Is there an easy way to uninstall all of this unwanted bloatage? I want to make sure I get EVERYTHING that came with those unwanted .apks...I'm kinda OCD... I'm also not totally sure what is bloatware and what was on my phone before... The main one's I'm unsure of are Webtop Connector (I know I had this ability before but wasn't sure if this app showed up in my app drawer), HDMI mirroring (I see it requires root so I'm guess it was there before...I just don't remember seeing it) and Phone Portal.

2) Why did this crap install without the .apks? (I'm looking in the other folders of the .zip and under the /data/app I see some of the crap like the scanner.apk... I don't see some of the stuff that did get installed like Quickoffice but maybe it's not in a self-titled .apk... So I guess just the first question mostly now that I see where the unwanted crap came from.)

Thanks for your help!

Is there any way to get your facebook contacts to sync with the text messages app. My contacts that aren't from facebook don't show up there. I have most of my friends numbers from facebook, not saved on my phone because my contacts weren't brought over from my old phone
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
....

This is why only people who know exactly what they are doing should be making things that we are flashing to our phones....

But seriously, I think your problem is as follows... there are other APK's in the Zip file too...

--> data/app inside the ZIP contains the APPs you didn't want

Problem of my own: When I hit "Recovery Boot" nothing happens. When I hit install recovery it gives me the install success message. Tried with my AC charger and my car charger. I'm thinking my phone wasn't properly rooted (running su under terminals out puts "permission denied", But I have the super user app and am able to download and install .apk files)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Khoops66:
Uninstall what exactly? If GingerBlur is not your cup of tea then just reflash stock sbf. Maybe a retain root and update too. Whatever your flavor.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Julian713:
Best thing to do is follow the directions from the 1st page. There are the newbie directions. Thats what I followed. It worked perfectly. I had no errors or anything. Just read it carefully.

When you flash use 1.2.6 thats from AT&T so it worked fine. Then run beforeupdate...then update the phone...then run afterupdate...then recovery...then install the rom.

Again all of this with full detail is in the newbie directions on the 1st page. From start to finish about 45mins max (if you follow all directions correctly). Good luck.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
Sideloading != rooted. Those are two different things.

Yes, it sounds like you are not rooted. Start from square 1 again (i.e., flashing stock 1.2.6), before-update, 1.5.7 update, after-update. You should be having root then.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
There should be an uninstall.zip to bring the system back to stock. Not for people who don't like it, but in view of future firmware updates (especially the HSUPA one), which in all likelihood expect to find certain files. It would make the update process much faster... IF we can retain root in the next update as well, of course.

I said to myself, as I booted into recovery, "Knowing my luck, I'll flash 1.1, check XDA, and 1.2 will be up."

So, instead of flashing right there, I reboot the phone from the recovery menu.

I check XDA, and, sure enough, in a mere matter of minutes, the ROM's been updated.

Running 1.2 right now and thrilled as all hell, OP. Thanks for your hard work.

I tried finding an answer to this all over the forum. This is about an unlocked Atrix.

I installed GingerBlur exactly as directed but cannot use mobile hotspot. It keeps popping up the AT&T message saying my service is not active.

I already tried editing the APN and adding tether at the end. I also followed a long tutorial that required to use SQLite editor to edit the carriers APN list, still nothing. I came to think that this is somehow due to the 1.5.7 update, could I be right?

Can anyone help?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
PLEASE: Keep this thread clean. Do not report bugs, phone problems, or general complaints that do not have to do with this ROM. GingerBlur will not effect how hot your phone gets, battery life, tethering service, etc. Do not post in here. Thank you.

There is a thread somewhere, I found it, so you did not search hard enough.

Try switching on Wifi -> Switch on Wireless hotspot (rinse and repeat if it doesn't work the first time). Due to a bug somewhere, this disables the check. May give you force closes though.

Having trouble installing v1.2

I just got done doing all the steps to install 1.5.7 while keeping root and I installed the latest version (from 4-06) of CWM.

When I try to install the zip in CWM, I get this error:

Copying files...

E:Failure at line 41:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You're the first one to have that issue, which leads me to believe:

1.) Did you modify the files?

2.) Did you install according to the guide?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12631216&postcount=2911

3.) Did you try starting over?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
1.) Modified nothing, just got done doing all the other steps.

2.) Yes.

3.) Yes.

I think I'm also the first one, in this thread, to be using the latest version of CWM (at least as far as I can tell the update was just posted a couple of hours ago).

I was going to try it again with the previous version of CWM but when I uninstalled it and went to install the previous APK, I found out I just lost sideloading somehow.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
Unfortunately I got the exact same problem.

I was on GB7.7 and did these steps

- SBF 1.26

- Gladroot

- OTA 1.57

- Gladroot pt2

- CWM

- Try to install GB 1.2 using CWM after boot but gives same 'Failure at line 41'
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
It must be an issue with the CWM update, then.

Sadly, GingerBlur did a bunch of "Deleting file" tasks before it got to the copy task that failed. Not sure if that's related at all but my Home button no longer works and as I mentioned in my last post I lost sideloading.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
I think the problem might be in a small detail: EXTERNAL microsd card. I didn't have the update on an external card. I don't have one handy to confirm this at the moment because I seem to have lost my case with those. I hope this is the issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
I copied it to my external, so that can't be the problem. Doesn't the "Install from SDCARD" only use your external anyways? Or at least it listed all the files I believe to be on my external.

Edit: Does your home button work still?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
I installed from internal system memory just fine. No external SD in my phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
I have the same problem, I will try and put it on my internal card not my sd and see if that works...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
Manually enabled sideloading and installed the previous version of CWM.

Copying files is now going, did not error immediately. Problem confirmed to be from the latest CWM. Install the previous version until this is addressed. Here's hoping my home button works again after this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
Mine was on the internal and I got the same message. I hope someone figures this out.

Tried twice to install Gingerblur/NO LUCK

I reflashed to 1.26 SBF, retainrootV2 then upgraded to 1.57.Currently rooted on 1.57-first step installed the recovery boot apk, then keeps getting stuck after installing GingerBlur saying error line 41 aborting installation. I have installed the GB 1.2 entire zip folder on external SD card any help would be appreciated. :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
If you're getting an error on line 41, uninstall the System Recovery app that you installed and download MOTOA4_Bootstrap_0404_1755-signed.apk from the CWM thread. Install that one instead and then press "Install Recovery" again and then redo the steps of booting into recovery and installing zip from sdcard. Problem is with the latest version of CWM.

Also, getting it to successfully install did fix my home button, so that's good.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
yea I just tried that... it did not work either... so I guess what people are saying is use the older "Tenfar's CWM Recovery" cuz its glitched or something I guess....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
so my big question is, what will we have to do if we want to update "Tenfar's CWM Recovery" after he gets it fixed so we can charge it and stuff that he had probs with before... will that mess up GingerBlur and we have to start all over?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
No, updating CWM later on will not affect GingerBlur at all. You would simply uninstall the CWM app (System Recovery), install the new apk file, and then click 'Install Recovery' again.

You could even update back to the current latest CWM, after you successfully install GB on the previous release, if you want the charge feature back. You just, as of now, need the previous CWM in order to install GB successfully.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
ok, but now my phone says "This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed"... does that mean the root got messed up? cuz I had the newer version installed a few min ago...

So I am going to give 1.2 a try. I had an issue with 1.1 where I lost my fingerprint reader. It would never initialize, and it would not allow me access to the security screen in the settings menu. I did use TB to restore apps and data.

I am on 1.1 but both my super user and side loafing are working just fine. Is there anything else in this rrleace that would be worth the upgrade to, or maybe just wait for the next one. Also does anyone know if this can just be flashed on top of the last build or does the cache slash data need to be wiped?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fumetsukaiu:
Followed all the directions and everything was working minus the home button. Tried CWM gingerblur and got the error on line 41. Uninstalled and installed the other version of CWM and now I am getting "This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
Yeah... I also lost sideloading, sadly. I'm not sure what caused it. Either attempting to install GingerBlur, but failing mid-way, or uninstalling old CWM.

You'll have to follow the instructions here to manually enable sideloading (not too hard, just download sqlite3 shell binary from sqlite's website and type in each command you see in the thread): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969960
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GloriousDJ:
thanks for the link... though I think I might have better luck and less of a headache to just start all over instead of trying and figure out how to do that right... :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
Looks like mine also lost root after the deletes. When I try to load anything I get the security error. Back to SBF for me....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zerxer:
Someone in the IRC told me you could just install GladiAtrix to get sideloading back. I wasn't sure if it would cause problems installing GingerBlur on top of it but he said it should be ok. If not then you can start over from scratch instead.

EDIT: If you lost sideloading, don't worry about manually re-enabling or starting over from the beginning. Just use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1017373

OK I figured out my problem. Seems the guy who had my phone before me. (a whole 2 weeks prior) decided to load up some beta 1.26 version. So it never updated to the .57 and broke my root when I installed gingerblur 1.1

So I did what all you good peeps instructed me to do. Start all over, took me about an hour but I went back to stock 1.26, ran beforeupdate, updated to .57, ran afterupdate, then gingerblur 1.1 and BINGO! everything is working just fine.
