I installed Gingerblur the uninstalled it a few days later using the included uninstaller with 7.6. Today with the OTA, I am getting the Android logo with a ! inside a traingle screen, fixable only by removing the battery. When I follow the steps to remove the WebtopModBackup bak files, I don't find them in the locations the directions states. Any ideas?

See four posts up; yes :-)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Hmm still cant figure out a way to mount system as R/W :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Probably should have flashed a fresh sbf before downloading the new OTA update. You can either flash sbf 1.5.7 now for just the new update, or do the round about way of rooting to the new update as described in in this forum.

Note: I guess I don't have a "fresh" SBF per se, since I installed Gingebrlur then uninstalled, but, am I close enough?

Same here. Bollix.. I'm just about to flash the SBF again & have it done & over with.

Defrost apps before flashing next version of GB?

I've searched and it doesn't appear anyone has asked this before....

I currently have GB 7.2 and want to upgrade to RC1. Should I be concerned with apps I've frozen with TB? Should I defrost everything before I run the batch file or is it of no concern?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] axon-g:
Thanks for the great work.

Thanks for the great work. It's a MUCH better handset with this ROM.

Beer money has been sent. Enjoy!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] axon-g:
I think it's in /cache/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yeah, but first you will have to flash a fresh 1.2.6 SBF (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991072), then follow those steps to update to the new OTA update and have a root.

Or, if you don't care about having root access, you can just flash 1.5.7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013786), but you WILL NOT have root access if you just flash 1.5.7.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I don't know if you have to... probably don't, since its just apps. Don't know about frozen process though... I usually just unfreeze everything to be on the safe side, update, and then refreeze.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] grayfoxx:
Thank you, I'll do the same to be safe
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edansbro:
If that's the easiest way, I'll probably go that route. For now I don't really need Root access. I can always root later once a solution is developed for the 1.5.7 method, correct?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] grayfoxx:
Run uninstall script first?

Another question I couldn't find previously answered. Is it recommended that I run the uninstall script before installing a more recent version of GB? This is the first time I'm going from one GB version to another. The first time I came from stock.

I know it is recommended that I flash SBF first but I've seen several people say they have skipped that step without issue. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] grayfoxx:
I don't know how you do it. Even if I don't use root functions for a month or more, I sleep better knowing I can if I want to. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edansbro:
I think I'm still too much of a noob at Android to understand the benefits of Root fully.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
No, you shouldn't have to uninstall your current version of gingerblur to flash a new gingerblur rom over the old one, although flashing a fresh SBF is recommended.

I installed 7.7 over 7.1 with no problems. However, when I flashed RC1 over 7.7, I had lost all my contacts, and I wasn't sure everything flashed correctly, so I ended up flashing sbf 1.2.6 and then re-installed RC1, with no problems.

Just give it a try first, if something is amiss, you can always flash to a clean sbf and re-install RC1 (note I had to aRoot after flashing sbf 1.2.6 and before installing RC1).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yeah, I'm waiting to see if a better root process comes out for the new OTA update before I update. Also, waiting to see if all the mods/hacks work; i.e. Webtop, free hotspot tether, etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lyon21:
@ edansbro

I have no idea how you do it either. This is my first android and I've only had it since march 6. However, I did come from a jailbroken iphone. But I still could never go without root. There are also times for me when I don't really use it, its just the fact of knowing I can if need be. Plus, I like doing anything I can to a phone that the manufacturer tries to lock down on me. So when people ask "why," I just say "why not"? Lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zanzee:
Is there some way to add in a fix while using the Atrix on Rogers for new voice mail icon always on, sms having the wrong time and pay phone displayed for some incoming calls? I had none of these issues on my nexus, both cm and stock. Thanks.

Ok guys, we are starting to get off topic of this Gingerblur thread, there are appropriate threads to post these questions on.

Here is a new a HoneyComb boot animation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010049

The newer version is in the HoneyComb Takeover.zip. You can pull the bootanimation.zip out of that .zip file and simply replace the stock one or gingerblur one, located @ /system/media/, or you can just run the install.bat.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Gingerblur on RC1 is pretty much impossblie because you cant mount the system :o
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkurl:
wait since you have root shouldn't you be able to mount it via adb commands and then maybe try to run RC1 w/ it mounted. maybe try mounting it leaving it mounted and run RC1 while it is that way.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
i loaded up 1.5.7 rooted...how long before RC1 can be loaded on top:(

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You can reflash the rom or:

Open command prompt and type:

cd C:/PATH/TO/YOUR/EXTRACTED FOLDER/WITH/GINGERBLURFILES

Then type in these commands:

adb devices

It should recognize your device and report it back as an ID number...

adb install Gallery3D.apk
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Okay :) see above for any other problems like that!

any way to get the myATT app bak atm?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Use root explorer and rename the /data/app/com.att.myWireless-1.apk.bak --> com.att.myWireless-1.apk.

Or in ADB:

Open command prompt and type:

cd C:/PATH/TO/YOUR/EXTRACTED FOLDER/WITH/GINGERBLURFILES

Then type in these commands:

adb devices

It should recognize your device and report it back as an ID number...

adb shell

su

mv /data/app/com.att.myWireless-1.apk.bak /data/app/com.att.myWireless-1.apk

exit

exit

adb reboot

Wanted to thank the OP for making something awesome for all of us to use and the rapid updates. I am not sure if this is possible at all but I would love to see the analog tv animation when hitting the power button to shut off the screen as seen in gingerbread. Other than that I can't really think of anything else that's missing. Thanks again for the hard work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Not possible with a locked bootloader. No one has been able to port the animation to any Froyo ROMs anywhere else. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JoshRH:
As I am new to Android and especially the development side is it possible that sometime down the road the boot loader will be unlocked by someone even if Motorola chooses to keep it locked?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jnewell05:
Yes josh. Software is created by humans and humans make mistakes. So chances are that there is an exploit available to be discovered. But its kinda like finding gold. So just keep your fingers crossed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Nothing is impossible on XDA.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Just a little update for everyone...

Beta 6 is progressing really well. I've created an excellent new menu that will allow: power users to install faster, users to restore back to pre-GingerBlur rom days, users to choose if they want to keep bloatware or get rid of it!

Beta 6 will most likely have a few new bugs until I can iron out the script again, so I'll need testers to help me with those.

It should be much more stable and flexible.

I'm very new at this but anxious to try. What had been holding me back was the ability to get back to my stock phone. You imply that there is a recovery process available. Please point me in the right direction or is there a way to make a complete image of my phone, similar to a Windows PC image, that I can make BEFORE I flash the new ROM so that I can restore if things don't go as expected? Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
On another note I love what you have done.....its so nice to see something other than motoblur on this phone although I had already removed as much as I could...can't wait to get aosp apps to replace motoblur apps. I know honeycomb is on the way but what are the chances of a stock froyo version....GB looked awesome on my captivate because of the black levels but looks a little washed out on the atrix screen

SMS time stamp issue -- Install SMSFix from the market and set the time addition to 4 (im assuming SMS coming is 4 hours behind?)

Caller ID says Payphone -- Call Rogers Customer service and ask them to disable Name Display on your line. It will then show you the number of the caller and you can create Contacts.

this is weird we have root but then we can't mount the system. give me a sec gonna try something

I got some weird stuff going on. if i turn off the phone and then unlock it to fast the stupid thing reboots right away. anyone else have these problems. Still working on RC1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zanzee:
Yeah but I haven't had these issues on any other android device just the Atrix, so it must be possible to fix it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Yep after the first boot you lose rights to mount the system
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkurl:
yep, what all did you try and when you tried installing what did it do. i got failed backup

Edit what I did was used terminal on the phone and mounted the system that way. not for sure if it actually mounted the system. it would not backup but it pushed all the gingerblur files. i chose to keep bloatware.

it did push the nexus s live wall paper at least.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
I'm sticking with GB for sure! I'll wait until this update issue is sorted out and apply it later.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
My thoughts exactly... I mean not only is the root apparently all screwed up (can't mount as r/w), but all the other mods/hacks are probably messed up or half assed round a bouts (don't know haven't checked those threads yet). I'm pretty happy where I'm at until all this OTA update crap is sorted out.... It's only been a day.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
After it fails it won't bug you anymore. But I have to admit it took a long time for that failure process to complete and I was worried that I was going to end up with a brick. But it fails 100% and you are left with your phone the way it was still running GB.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Just freeze "Update 2.2.1" with titanium backup, and you will no longer get the notifications.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jeffc:
Funny I didn't have that problem. After the update failed it never bugged me again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zen kun:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jackdonogy:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] zanzee:
Your fix is a workaround at best, I'm asking for a proper fix not some app I need to run all the time or disable a useful feature. I do appreciate the temp fix you offered but something long term is much more desirable.

Sorry if this was asked before, is there any way you can disable the notifications about the new version of motorola rom since we cannot upgrade with Gingerblur?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zanzee:
It's a AT&T unlocked on Rogers, I know the issue is its an AT&T phone but it should be fixable. My NEXUS doesn't have these issues. It's just a software issue which should be fixable. I have used the work arounds but would rather not disable name display and have SMS time fix all the time.

If there is a way to automate the process.... will it update the latest OTA keep root and install rc2 with hte other options for webtop hdmi etc....

If that is the case is it possible to add the latest swype version and possibly add a percentage for battery in the menu ratehr than having to use the circle widget...

What do you mean automate the process? We have a script to retain root, and another to install gingerblur...

@Lancer,

what did you do to end up getting this installed. I was thinking for the backup it could be pushed to external SDcard and that would solve that. unless it wasn't able to pull those files due to not being able to mount.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jackdonogy:
exactly! I called fido this morning and took me 5 mins to get it fixed. Restarted my phone and got one of my contacts that was showing up as Pay phone to call me to test it, and worked like a charm!

Also, you can fix the time stamp issue by disabling the Automatic Time (ie. network time) and setting the date/time yourself.
