GingerBlur touches every file in the framework and apps folders. I think you're wrong about blur-res. Blur-res is mostly styling, imaging, formatting, etc. The real problems are in the /system/app folder. I figured them out for RC1. If you flash RC1 over a clean SBF, I can almost guarantee you will have full Facebook sync and blur account capabilities. If you don't, you must've screwed something up.

Flash clean 1.5.4 SBF, flash GingerBlur. Your blur and facebook stuff will work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Serenikill:
How do you know if it is still installing?

Trying to install gingerblur. Followed directions and ran install.bat.

Cmd window came up and closed shortly after some echo messages. Been about 15 min... adb.exe is still in the process manager.

Edit: seems to be working now, no idea what happened the first time

1.57 OTA update, with ROOT...

I am about to do the "Retain Root" process... it is not done yet, but is there any reason after I get root for the OTA, I should be able to put the Gingerblur on top of that??

EDIT:

Steps I am taking..

1. Flash SBF 1.26

2. Run Aroot

3. Do the root attain method here ... "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013931" once it is finished..

4. Run the update

5. Get my root back...

6. Install Gingerblur??

sound good??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
you can't really blame ken, he is willing to develop for Bell Atrixes as well, but the problem is that right now there's no stock Bell .sbf that we can flash in case of a soft-brick, which is bound to happen to at least a couple of people in a pre-release version of anything that's editing critical system files.

So if you really want a Bell ROM, try and find a Bell stock .sbf for the Atrix (none leaked yet, we'll just have to wait for the first system update)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] barry99705:
Until you see the billion and a half posts about root on the new update, no, it's not going to work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drock212:
When I ran the blur-res.apk it replicated the issue to a tee. That's the only reason I thought that might have been the culprit. Good stuff though I like bouncing what little I can find out (not a dev or even close but I'm trying to learn) with everyone
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
bump

Actually the answer is no because Gingerblur needs to push its files. Wont let it do this on the root retain.

Also anyone try the new sbf? maybe work there?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zdentist:
Done and it is working great so far.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madquack:
I flashed the 1.2.6 sbf and downloaded GB RC1 and run install bat and it doesn't do ****. After the several prompts

Do you want to install.. yes

Remove Moto Blur Keyboard and Install GB Keyboard... no

Block Ads... yes

Nothing happens, when my phone reboots. Stock lock screen, stock launcher everything remains the same. It also removed my motoblur keyboard so I am stuck with swype.

Sigh.. I miss my HTC Hero, so much easier to modify and mess with. This Atrix is a pain in the ****.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
GingerBlur is based on 4.1.26

It would be unwise to install it on a 4.1.57 system.

The addons are also derived from files using 4.1.26 as well.

Wait for the devs to make updated versions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Enable USB debugging, ensure connectivity and power through USB, plug in to back of computer, restart comp, restart phone, choose "None" on USB connection mount settings. --> After all those steps, if it doesn't work, you probably did one wrong. ;)

You physically can't install it on 1.5.7 ;) It won't work!

Having said that, I am trying to create a solution for 1.5.7 integration. Not sure how it is going to work with such a messy root method.

I guess we could do something like this:

Flash 1.2.6 SBF --> ROOT --> Flash OTA .zip --> Flash GingerBlur.

That's just a major pain in the buttocks. Why must Moto play this game?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madquack:
Yeah, I did all this multiple times and no luck. I know it isn't me, I have installed countless roms on my other phones in the past. I just don't get it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
GingerOPTA

I have:

1. flashed the SBF 4.1.26

2. Used Aroot only to get root

3. Restored my fav apps with Titanuim after root, and accepted a few applications..well, only Titanium...

4. Ran the few short peices of Terminal code that moves SU to an untouched folder before update

5. Updated to OTA 4.1.57

6. Ran the script after OTA installed to put SU back in its place with proper permissions...

7. Verified that root is back through Titanium restoring a few apps i left for testing...

8. Waiting for the big O.K. from you to throw GingerBlur on and see if my shi* dies :) ha ha ha!

... For a dev or a entusiast.. it really isn't that much trouble, took me about 45 minutes.. to do everything...

I want to see if Ging.. works over 4.1.57, should I try or you want to???

I can say, that root IS there after the update if you follow the other thread correct...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
It wouldn't hurt to try... I just know it probably (almost certainly) won't work. ;) Shouldn't brick your phone though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Are you familiar with adb?

What does "adb devices" return?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
Just a quick thought... would it be possible to modify the OTA.zip in a way that removes the "root fix" but keeps other enhancements? Or is that zip encrypted / check-summed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tian105:
Need some help : < Now i get a Message saying "Social Networking account required whenever i want to set up something.. and when i press setup, it does nothing..

any idea how to fix this? im on RC1

anyone have a similar problem?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yeah we'd be breaking the signature and it wouldn't work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madquack:
I am familiar with ADB and it lists my device there after I type adb devices. I am just going to stick with 4.1.2.6 and root it and just keep it stock for now until the boot loader becomes cracked.

I flashed a fresh 4.1.2.6 several times with RSD, logged in to motoblur then proceeded to root my phone then try to install this rom with no success. I'm sick of re-downloading all my apps again and am refusing to install this. I just can't seem to understand why it is failing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
If ADB recognizes the device... GingerBlur will work unless you modified it or got a bad/incomplete/corrupted download. :cool:

The bootloader will probably never be cracked. There were thousands of great developers working on the Droid X and Droid 2 bootloaders (which are similarly locked) and they could not do it. On the Atrix, we have far less developers. I'm doubting a bootloader solution.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drock212:
You're going to have to flash back to 1.2.6 and start clean its bug that the cause is unknown (I think lol) once you flash back then redo RC1 it should work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madquack:
Yeah, I'm just thinking the last few times I tried to download the rom it was corrupted or something, who knows. I'll try again in the morning. Thanks for your help thus far! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
Sorry for the n00b questions today... but framework-res.apk is also signed, and it is still possible to replace files inside and push it back, right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] vartkez187:
hey there ive been using this rom for a while and i have noticed with this rom my phones internet is VERY slow i wasnt really going to read through all those posts so i thought i might ask if anyone else has noticed anything like this and if so if there i any way to fix it thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You're going beyond my reach here (I'm not super smart). But, I know that modifying the update.zip won't work. ;)

I don't know how many times I have to say this before people stop complaining about these problems:

GingerBlur simply modifies the look of your phone. It will not effect: battery life, phone speed (might make it a little bit faster), internet speeds, network connectivity, WiFi connectivity (except the fix for 5 GHz corporate routers), etc.

Please do not post complaints in this thread that are not related to GingerBlur. GingerBlur is basically like installing an application from the market... it doesn't have the capabilities to mess with your internet speeds.

This reminds me of my parents. As the resident in-home computer geek, my parents would always say stuff like: "Ever since you downloaded that Firefox thing for us... our computer won't start." :rolleyes: Firefox won't break your computer startup. Similarly, GingerBlur doesn't have the power to break 99% of the things you guys are talking about in this thread.

Just because it happened after you installed GingerBlur... that's completely irrelevant. If you believe GingerBlur broke something serious (not theme related) on your phone... flash the SBF.

Please stop with these comments in the thread:

- GingerBlur broke my WiFi

- GingerBlur cracked my screen

- GingerBlur makes my phone run hot

- GingerBlur gives me bad battery life

- GingerBlur gives me slow internet speeds

- GingerBlur made my dog die

Here are true possible problems:

- GingerBlur screwed up my Moto Blur account sync or Facebook account sync

- GingerBlur's installation did not complete correctly and I am stuck in a boot loop

I love helping you all with your problems. But, you guys need to do some research on your own. Check out the GingerBlur feature list. GingerBlur does not modify your kernel or modem... so it will not be able to cause those problems.

If you do have a weird problem:

1.) your install probably went wrong and failed miserably

2.) you messed something up

Solution:

Flash the SBF.... or..... Flash the SBF.... or Flash the SBF.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
Quick question for anyone who has flashed this and is getting the OTA install nagging. If you try to install the OTA and it fails since your running this, will it stop asking to install it?

RC1 is nice. May I inquire on why the gallery is so difficult to find pics and videos? Is this a stock gb gallery? If so its about the only issue I have with your ginger.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
That's the stock Android gallery. You'll have to file your grievances with Google for that one.

Alternatively, you can keep the bloatware during installation and maintain the stock Motorola Gallery application.

New Gingerbread Moto Blur Theme?

Has anyone thought about making a version of this ROM with the framework from the Gingerbread for Droid 2 and Droid X because i think it looks really cool and A LOT better than the old Moto Blur here are some screenshots and photos from a video from Droid-Life (all photo and video Credits go to Droid-Life) :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Well it pushes all the files just fine but than restarts automatically after it restarts
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Thought about it. I don't really like Blur 2.0 though... it still looks ugly to me. But, perhaps I will create a theme. Should be really easy to port most of that theming.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Figured it out with 1.57 for whatever reason the script isnt getting root access even with the phone rooted, if I do it thorugh ADB shell it all works
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Interesting cant mount the system says r/o
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cataclysmicvoid:
I think there is a legitimate disconnect between the Moto camera app and the Android Gallery. When you click the preview in the bottom left corner of the camera app it brings up all images (photos taken on the phone and any other images, it appears) in file view in reverse chronological order. If you switch to folder view it is still in reverse chronological order.

This behavior is different than what happened on my Nexus One, for example, where clicking on that preview (in the stock camera app) brought up the picture you last took (IIRC), or, at the very least, showed them in chronological order.

I'm no developer, but I think maybe what the Moto camera app tells the gallery app when you click that preview is different than what the stock camera app says. Maybe unless we get the stock (and inferior) camera app working we should stick with the Moto (and inferior...) gallery app. (I know this is an option by not removing bloatware, but maybe it should be implemented in general).

Or perhaps there is a way to get the Moto camera app to send you to a different link in the stock gallery?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
There seems to be a way to sign update.zip yourself: http://www.xinotes.org/notes/note/996/

What I do NOT know, however, is whether there needs to be a specific signature with this update.zip - in which case, obviously, using your own signature/cert won't work. I am tempted to try it, I don't really have time today though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Ohh if that's what you all meant... then yes. The Moto camera calls for the Moto Gallery. So, replacing it with Gallery 3D screws everything up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yes because it uses psneuter. That's what I need to change.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tl_bull:
That is ultimately the only hope to get this thing to work right. I almost grit my teeth when I take a picture and someone says, oh can I see the picture? I grumble and tell them the super phone takes pictures, it doesnt display them... :cool:

Unfortunately there is no way to update from a custom Rom. You will have to flash the stock sbf. If you want to be able to have root on the ota version you must flash back to the 1.26 version first, then go here and follow the instructions on the page.

Really??? I mean you really couldn't read like the last two pages and see that this has been asked like a dozen times already... Let me save you the effort... You will not be able to install the new OTA update unless you first flash sbf, and once you do install the new update, you will not be able to install gingerblur. The OP is working to fix this as we speak.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DKRussell:
is it better to go back to 1.2.6, install the ota, retain root and install RC1 and addons or just do what i've been doing; flash 1.5.7 sbf then RC1 and addons?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Usb connection set to none? All drivers installed? Try reconizing your device via adb devices first before the install.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
*banging head on desk*

If you flash the new 1.5.7 wont you loose root? You have to do the new round about way to keep your root with 1.5.7... Regardless, gingerblur is not working with the new OTA update, rooted or not

Nothing at all says locate drivers

not working :confused::confused::confused:

Honeycomb theme??? waaaaa how you get that
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DKRussell:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008959

layers perfectly over RC1 and looks rather stunning actually... jrummy has root tools that enables you to even load the honeycomb boot animation to top it off... that is one app I HIGHLY recommend
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
So yes you have the drivers installed? Or no you dont? Just download and install all the drivers again to make sure. It wont take long... Should be able to find a link somewhere on this thread. I know theres a link on the flash sbf thread to them. Also, do u have your usb connection set to none?????
[Atrix 4G Android Development] poeticdecision:
now i really need my adb to work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
No, im staying away from the new OTA update untill a better root process comes along and all the hacks and mods get updated and sorted out.... Probably wont be to long, the devs are hard at work.

The only thing ive heard about the new OTA update that I like, is the much improved battery performance. But I have a lot of process frozen that I dont use, so ill stick it out until like I said things arent in their infant stages again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
To change the boot animation all you have to do is copy/paste which ever bootanimation.zip you want to use to: "/system/media" in root explorer. There are several new ones to choose from under the theme & apps forum, including the new honeycomb and new gingerblur ones.

I was having a great time with GingerBlur beta 7. But alas, in attempting to get GBrc1 installed with the 4.1.57 firmware update OTA (whilst retaining root) I have buggered my awesome new Atrix.

"No problem. Just use RSD Lite and flash it back.", I hear you say. Well I can't. It just won't work (I've carefully read the instructions and followed them closely. It didn't work pre GBb7. And it still won't work for some reason. Could it be that my handset is SIM/network unlocked for use in Australia? Dunno, but I could REALLY use some help.
