Reflashed 1.2.6

Completed first-time-boot motoblur wizard.

OTA update to 1.5.7

OTA update to 1.8.3

GingerBreak 1.2

Tenfar's CWM

Flash Gingerblur 3.1

Did all this again, in exactly that order, and I still have the home button issue.

The thing is, it's not consistent. Sometimes on reboot, it'll be there, and other times on reboot, the home button works fine. When it doesn't work, even clearing my default "home" application doesn't work. The screen just flashes when I press the home button and stays on the same activity/task.

This is DEFINITELY an issue I've been having only since 1.8.3/Gingerblur 3.x, and not something I've seen in 1.x/2.x . For now, I guess the solution is to reboot my phone whenever it happens, but this is not acceptable long-term. If I need to, I guess I'll go back to 2.x..., and if it still gives me grief, back to 1.5.7 w/ radio mod. Anybody know if Gingerblur 2.5 has compatibility issues with 1.8.3?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
To whoever was asking about incorporating launcher pro elements into gingerblur... I agree that this is a waste of time. Just download launcher pro and run it with gingerblur. This happens to be my current set up and I love it and have 0 problems. You get the best of both worlds. Cool launcher w/ great animations and many home screen customizations + the great theme of gingerblur w/ a deodexed framework, tethering apn, etc. also courteously of gingerblur.

I installed GingerBlur v3.1..everything is good but I can't change screen lock.. Before I had fingerprint, now I have only password to unlock the screen and I can setting the process to change screen lock! I restore with backup titanium..mybe this is the problem..but what!?!?!?!?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
yeah, you shouldn't have restored finger print scanner or system data with titanium backup. First, try disabling all security, boot in CWM and delete the dalvik cache under the advanced section, reboot and try entering new fingerprints. If that doesn't work, I would suggest flashing 1.57 sbf, 1.83 OTA update, re-root and re-install gingerblur, and this time don't restore the fingerprint scanner or system data w/ tibackup.... might want to make sure you turn off security before flashing sbf also.

**Edit**

If you do end up flashing sbf and re-rooting. After rooting and installing CWM, but before you do anything else or install any rom or theme, I would suggest that you make a backup with CWM, that way if anything goes wrong in the future you can restore back to a freshly flashed sbf w/ root.

I'm sorry but you obviously don't understand the point of Gingerblur. You obviously also don't understand what goes into building the themes, and if it's even worth people's time. Try somewhere else to have a custom ROM built just for you if you can even find anyone to build you a ROM with a feature that you can get with LauncherPro or any other launchers period. Jesus.

Hi, I'm from Brazil and have an Atrix from VIVO operator with the version OLYLA U4 0.50.0 that's froyo 2.2.2, i've already rooted with this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045634 and already instaled Tenfar's CWM recovery and already did a full nandroid backup of my actual system.

Can I install gingerblur on my phone?

I think that my version OLYLA U4 0.50.0 is equivalent of yours 1.8.3 from at&t because both are froyo 2.2.2.

Do you have idea if its gona work?

And if it doesnt, can I restore my nandroid backup even without a working rom?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Not quite sure. Never messed with a nandroid backup before on the Atrix.

Someone else might know if you're compatible.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
I think he might be ok,(mindset being if its the same deal as the telstra rom which I had as my base before going ginger blur mode) Not sure if nandroid will save you (have yet to do a restore) and if there is no SBF out for that rom, worst case would be you go have the telstra as an ultimate backup? Seven would have a better insight
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rpiton:
Sorry, but what is telstra, and how can it save me in the worst case?

Thanks.

Try isolating by changing .apk to .bak instead of deleting so if you experience something wrong then you can always revert back. No one is going to answer even if you ask over and over because your question is more device specific...

If you're thinking about adding launcher pro, I would suggest that you install home switcher first, that way you can easily switch between the Home launcher and launcher pro if need be. It needs to be installed before launcher pro, or it will not work.

A couple of dumb questions....

What does the recycling icon (2 circular green arrows) in the power widget do?

What do all of the attached files in the first post do? I get the last one restores the moto keyboard, but the others don't say what they do, just what they are related to.

Last one, is there some way to get a percentage to display on the battery icon? I hate that I can't see precisely how much power is left.

Thanks,

In order to get a battery estimate down to 1% increments you'll have to use something like circle battery widget from the market.

The only way you can view all your email accounts in one inbox is to use the universal inbox, and in Motorola's infinite knowledge, you can't create a universal inbox shortcut or widget with the standard home launcher. I would suggest you try a third party app like Enchanced email; I use this a much prefer it over the stock email. Plus then you can freeze all other mail/inbox applications.

I finally got around to doing the GB 3.1 flash... It all went well and there appears to be no issues with the install.

If you flash with RSD Lite here are a couple of tips:

1. Power off and remove the SD and SIM cards

2. Restart while holding the volume up button.

3. Start RSD Lite on your computer and load up the Flash file.

4. Your phone should have a message in red letters: "ready for rsd" or something similar.

5. Connect your phone to the computer and RSD should see it.

6. If all appears well then start the flash.

I saw a couple of posts back in the mist that referred to renaming some files in order to enable a feature or two but I cannot find them. Can someone help to explain what the files were and what they do? THNX :)

Is anyone else running the stock gallery on 3.1? Can you access "Folders" under your gallery?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gera4ever94:
You can extract the music.apk from any one of the Gingerblur zips like 2.1 or earlier from system/apps. Then replace the music.apk in your current Gingerblur zip with the music.apk from 2.1 then flash the Gingerblur zip. Or if you don't want to flash the entire Gingerblur zip you can delete all the system apps from the bloatware zip and put the music.apk in and flash that zip instead. Make sure you delete everything from data/apps also.

I just installed this on my atrix, and so far I"m loving it. However, I cant seem to find the option to turn on the webtop hack. I have an HDMI Mirroring app but there's no option to turn on webtop when I connect an HDMI cable. Can anyone point me in the right direction to enabling that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DannyV94:
in order for the webtop to work, you have to make sure that HDMI mirroring is disabled. They cannot run simultaneously. If you're still having problems, you could try to download the webtop hack by itself and installing that through Tenfar's.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jotokun:
Thanks. I thought it might be a bit dangerous to install the webtop hack on top of Gingerblur since supposedly its already installed, but doing so worked fine.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jimbush3:
On the CWM main screen scroll down to install zip from SD card. On the following screen the second choice should be something like select zip from SD card. Then scroll down and select your zip to install, then scroll down and click yes to confirm. Scrolling is managed with the volume button and the power button selects an option. After the install is complete scroll to Go Back on the menu, select that and then select to reboot the phone. It will take slightly longer to reboot than usual and should reboot with the theme installed.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] flenny:
Try this!

Enter Recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Worked fine for me :)

HOWTO Enter Recovery

from atrixforums.com

1. Power off your device.

2. At the same time, press the volume down button and the power button on the back until you see the text "Fastboot" appear in the top left in corner of the screen.

3. Use the volume down button to scroll through all the options until you reach "Android Recovery".

4. Pressing the volume up button will select the option.

5. You should now see the famous Android Triangle Exclamation screen.

6. Tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen, just above the search key and that should bring you into the main menu of the system recovery.

The volume buttons will allow you to scroll through these menu items:

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

To select the option, press "OK" in the lower lefthand corner of the screen.

a littles request for upcoming versions.. In "theme" part of the rom.

The root explorer problem(white menu and white text), it`s not only io root explorer..

There are more apps with this issuee:/

But I think its not very difficult to be fixed..

I think we have to change one white(to gray) png in framework hdpi to black color..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
....this has been said many times if you bothered to read. This happens when the app itself handles their theme incorrectly. Rather than using the system settings, they use their own.

You must use Tenfar's CWM port, boot into recovery, and make a backup. If you're just talking about backing up your apps, use Titanium Backup.

After verifying twice, I'm getting reproducible results of Gingerblur killing mobile internet speeds. With stock 1.83, I'm getting a steady 2400kbps down. Installing gingerblur with no other apps at all, instantly drops the speeds to 1.1 to 900kbps down...

I've reproduced this by doing a fresh sbf flash of 1.57 to sbf 1.83 and OTA, AND using cwm back ups...

It's clearly gingerblur that is causing this problem...

This is completely false. Please stop posting stuff in here. You are welcome to report valid problems, but it is upsetting to see people spreading false rumors in my thread. I created and completed a full test on the issue here.

My tests are available for download so that everyone can see the results.

Your problems, if they exist, are likely device, network, and/or area specific.

I've already checked into this non-issue. I hope this is the last post like this in the thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I want to remain patient, but this kind of post is annoying. If you do not know anything about ROM development, please don't spread rumors that are totally untrue.

Battery optimizations include things like: WiFi sleep policy change, screen timeout change. These kinds of optimizations can be changed in your build.prop or Settings applications.

If you knew much about the Atrix, you'd know that we are largely powerless to flash our own modems or kernel changes. The one successful modem flash is done using RSD Lite. My CWM recovery package will not mess with any network connectivity related things.

This is very frustrating for me. Please stop with these baseless claims.
