[Atrix 4G Android Development] fsturbo15:
OK guys here is a quick run-down on what to do if your currently on 1.57 and v.2.5.

1. Download the 1.83 sbf from the post in Atrix General and install using RSD lite or install the OTA update if it is available to you.

2. Gingerbreak your phone using the instructions here: http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

-THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD, BACK UP YOUR DATE TO EXTERNAL SD OR YOUR PC

3. Flash Gingerblur v. 3.0 using CWM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
you don't have to do so to install it, but you might as well benefit from the update (ie. uncapped uploads, full HSUPA) and then after the update this version of gingerblur will still work

edit: ken suggests that you must (definitely should at least) be on 1.8.3 before installing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Got Gingerblur v3.0 up and running on 1.83, with all my mods, webtop, etc. The only thing that is bothering me is that every time I reboot, the screen timeout changes back to 15 sec., no matter how many times I change it. Any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
That's weird I replaced the two .apk files that were changed for the webtop hack on 1.57, changed the build.prop file, and re-booted and mine works great, video and all. I did get a force close loop after replacing the PortalApp.apk, and had to pull the battery, but after that it worked fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Known bug. Working on it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You do need 1.8.3 before installation, folks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Oh, well that's ok then... thought I was going crazy for a sec there. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
Thanks! Thought I was going crazy for a minute...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
What are those apks and where do you load them?

Edit: nevermind found them. Going to try it later if I have time. Gotta go play Dodgeball with the kid at his school...

Edit: got webtop working via root explorer...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Guys i have a bug either with gb 3.0 or with the 1.8.3 update, namely my screen randomly looses all touch capabilities. I flashed the 1.2.6 sbf than the 1.8.3 after that cwm and gb update. So i cant say for sure if its the update or gb, i however never experienced this bug before on gb 1.3 and/or 1.5.7/1.2.6/1.5.2
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
Did you root after 183 update?

You might need 157 since 183 is not a full upgrade just some upgrade and radio upgrade...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
Regarding Roaming and Carrier Name display support

Hi Kenneth,

I know I am repeating this thing. But again,

Do you have any plans in the upcoming version of GingerBlur to get the Carrier Name displayed in the Notification pulldown drawer as in the stock version of Android? Also is it also possible to have an icon in the notification bar indicating roaming.

Thanks and Regards
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mudd_cat23:
THIS NEWS IS GREAT!. whats the best way everyone has found to install. Just flash the 1.8.3sbf and then run gingerbreak and go from there
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Most people don't even want that....In fact, most people want it out, and that's why Gingerblur is something they want. why would he put that in for so few people that want it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
since in gingerblur 3.0 hdmi without dock don't work(on mine didnt..), simply re-enable it in 2 mins.

Visit: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12580345&postcount=634

Download webtopmod file.

Use method 1 (adb),

And IGNORE the 2 mv commands!

(we have deodexed in gb 3.0)

Worked on mine, with 1.8.3, on Gb3.0

At your own risk!

DONT try it using Root Explorer,

because if you change PortalApp your system will crash!

CWM don't work.

Use ADB :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I tried very hard over last week to modify the framework to include the carrier in the pull down notifications bar, but was unsuccessful. Kept ending up with a brick.

At this point, splitting the frameworks to accommodate the very small percentage of users who want to see the carrier in the status bar is not my goal. I don't want to splinter the framework, because it will add on tons of extra work each time I update. I'm really sorry. I'm just too dang busy.

For those looking to have the "AT&T" in the status bar, you can decompile framework-res.apk, grab "status_bar.xml" from /res/layout/ throw it in the decompiled stock framework, edit it...

- onsText line maxLength should be "19" instead of "0"

- add in android:textcolor= #FFFFFFFF to make it white

Then recompile the stock framework with edited status_bar.xml

-> Throw that into /res/layout of GingerBlur framework-res.

Good luck.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
I'm a bit confused about the optional hacks. HDMI mirroring already seems present in the rom...? Do you have to flash the HDMI mirroring hack in order to use it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neodoru:
I have a thread with the same question and somebody was kind enough to give me the file, so go there and grab it! :)

Having an issue and wondering if anyone else is having it. It's just a little thing, but it annoys.

I just updated to 1.83 and GB 3.0.

After about 5 seconds after any time I touch the screen, the screen dims. About 5 seconds after that, the screen restores to its previous state. I've got brightness on the Automatic setting, but I haven't noticed this in Android<2.2.2/1.26/1.57/GB1.3/GB2.0/GB2.5. Only in 1.83/GB3.0.

Thanks

EDIT: Also, having the issue where after a reboot, default screen timeout is 15 seconds again, even though I had set it to 1 minute.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] katinatez:
Confirmed Webtop and Video playback in HD Entertainment

I flashed from Gingerblurr 2.5 right into SBF 1.8.3.WARNING DONT DO THIS, HAD MANY ISSUES.

I would recommend CWM back to stock 1.5.7 then SBF 1.8.3, then GingerBreak, then GladEnable 1.4 for tether and sideloading, backup stock 1.8.3 with CWM, Gingerblurr 3 using CWM and last is webtop hack also using CWM, change build prop file in system folder from HDMI true to false and reboot.

I have my Atrix running custom boot animation, tether, HDMI mirror,webtop hack ,video play back on HD Entertainment, on GingerBlurr 3 / 1.8.3 running like a champ.

Thanks again Ken
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
installed 3.0 on my Bell. this is badass, love it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neodoru:
Did u update to 1.83? can u post a small guide (if u have the bell atrix)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jiggytom:
Should we wait for 3.1, which fixes the timeout bug (et. al.?)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
Worked like a charm! Excellent Smithers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Bell doesn't update to 1.8.3, you need to run the Telstra sbf, which is compatible with Bell phones, but isn't supported by Bell and you will void you warranty by using it.

if you feel like not being under warranty is worth it, then download the sbf from this thread follow these instructions to install the file you downloaded there, then read this guide to install GingerBlur on your phone

it must all be done in that order. also be mindful of the risks involved in flashing that Telstra sbf as it isn't supported by Bell, and at the same time you might not be able to install the software updates that Bell is rumoured to be releasing soon. On the upside for right now though, you can install this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I'm sure this has been answered, but search function has been down for 10 minutes, and I'm stuck. I am in the process of installing GingerBlur on Atrix...instructions say to select install zip from sdcard and then select the zip file. with no hardware buttons how does one select it. the volume buttons go up and down highlighting...but nothing selects.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
power button selects.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
Power button
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
Thank You! that's what I thought as it was the only button...but didn't want to brick my phone because I couldn't wait a few minutes for search to be back up and running. This was my first ROM flash ever, and instructions worked perfectly up until I got a little confused at that point.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is anyone having issues with the proximity sensor on 3.0? Mine isn't functioning correctly. Sometimes it doesn't turn the screen off in call, other times when it does turn the screen off in call, pulling the phone away from my face, the screen stays off. Thanks.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
I never said I want it in the status bar. Just in the notifcation pull down as it is in the stock build of Android.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
Hopefully it will be something that can be fixed in the form of an update on top of 3.0. If not, its another excuse to wipe all the junk on my phone again and start fresh.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
No problems man.. thanx for the effort .. I too had tried myself a week back with UOT kitchen to get the thing done. But only resulted in soft bricking my phone... eventually gave up ...

All in all thanx for ur gingerblur .. its indeed an awesome work ..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
The timeout thing was just an accident I didn't think about. I set it as an init.d script. Why do you all turn your phones off so often? :p

I leave mine on. You can edit the setting and leave it on. I will fix it ASAP, but I have normal studying today and midterm studying tomorrow.

What does flashing gingerblur via CWM delete? User settings/apps/data?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mudd_cat23:
I dont the same thing almost i flashed the 1.8.3 SBF with RSD right on top of GingerBlur 2.0. I lost root and webtop mod but then used gingerbreak to gain root back and installed the webtop mod. and everything seems to be running fine. I didnt loose no apps or settings. I havent had much time messing with it though so maybe a bug might be lurking to get out im not sure. Ill update once get some time to play with it

CWM doesnt work tried every way :( Im on GB 2.5
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
You can't install it, or you try to run recovery and it just reboots phone? Are you plugged into the wall?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paulnelson88:
As soon as i hit the reboot on cwm it turns off. I then plug the phone in and it just reboots like normal. Ive tried older version still the same. it worked fine before 2.5.:(

Reinstall CWM or check to see if you still have root.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jthornton71707:
So just to be clear you must be on 1.83 to flash this? And it will work on 1.83 only? I'm on 1.26 and have held off on updating
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
I think it is in the bloatware for Ginger, but not Grey. At least there is an apk called messaging, but I have not installed it to see if it works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paulnelson88:
Still have root and Ive reinstalled cwm 5 times now :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
You are using the 4-08 1720 version of Tenfar's CWM right? That's the only one I can get to work with these.

When you click the install from system recovery, do you see it tell you its getting root access?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paulnelson88:
Yeah says root access. I dont want to reflash my phone to stock again and go through this whole process. I just got my Xoom figured out and running 1.4.1 which took me a week to figure out now i just need to figure out this:D To be honest with you i want the Motorola Keyboard back the android one seems to miss spell alot. I get on my wifes Captive and can go like mad with no errors get on my Atrix and the keys seem to be off.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
yeah, I'm adding the stock keyboard back on this flash. I used the new one for a few days, but the buttons don't like my fat fingers I guess. I didn't have a problem with the stock keyboard.

Anytime I use 1.8.3 or 1.5.7 with HSPA hack, I loose data connectivity alltogether until I SBF back to one of the two. As soon as GingerBlur is flashed, I loose data connectivity. What gives?

I have an unsupported apn and this happens to me also. Try manually adding the apn. If your not sure what it is flash an SBC sbd Vito the wifi settings under.mobile network you should see access point names.

This is a little weird after i flashed 1.8.3 i looked at about phone and my current build was 2.2.2 and 1.8.3 after a reboot i look at it again. and now its 2.2.1 and 1.5.7. I kinda fig i prob. messed up somewhere seeing as how all my apps and settings were the same. Guess ill start over all the way with a fresh flash of 1.5.7

Trouble with flashing 1.5.7 GB 2.5 to 1.8.3 stock

I had all apps with forced closed app errors, could not sync google calendar or recieve gmail to name a few errors. But did not want to go thru the whole flasing process so I decided to reset phone under settings wiping out data, checked to see if I was still on 1.8.3 and I was. Then cleared the dalvic cache using Titanium Backup, rebooted. And all errors disappeared!!!!:p Continued to add webtop mod then edited the build.prop file to false, added custom boot animation. Now running strong with no errors on 1.8.3 GingerBlurr 3!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mudd_cat23:
Im on my way right behind you flashing the 1.8.3 right now then gotta go through the WHOLE process AGAIN. But it will be all good. If GB 2.5 was good i can only imagine how kenn done on 3.0 so its worth it ill stay up till its done.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosit1:
I'm on my 15th reboot and no luck.

Great job Ken. Also, the wifi sleep policy will revert back to "when screen is off" after a shutdown. I think alot users like me set it to "Never"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mudd_cat23:
Can someone answer this please? I done this twice tonight, I flashed a fresh sbf of 1.5.7. Then flashed 1.8.3 ran gingerbreak gained root access, then got the sideloading enabled. Flashed GingerBlur 3.0. From there i ran the webtop mod (cause it was confirmed it worked). I verified that my phone was on Android version 2.2.2, Version 4.1.5.7 and the build number was Gingerblur 3.0 Installed the few apps on my phone that i use im not a big app fan. After i got my phone all fixed back to the way i use to have it. I go to verify if everything was still in order went to about phone and my system version is 4.1.5.7, Android version is 2.2.1 and now my build is Olyfr_u4_1.5.7. Now correct me if im wrong shouldnt it be 2.2.2 and version 1.8.3. on here. Can someone please tell me what is going on. Like i said ive done this twice tonight.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Sounds like you messed with your build.prop file. GingerBlur's is definitely 1.8.3. Not a problem with GingerBlur.

Reminders for those asking questions:

Always search the forums

Be specific and succinct... no one wants to read long paragraphs

Post in the correct thread

99.9999% of your problems are DEVICE-SPECIFIC. They can be fixed with an SBF flash (usually).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saar73:

I have another question for anyone that's listening. Is the camcorder app broken? I can make recordings with the camcorder app, but when I try to play them in the app, they don't show up...

Ok sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section...I'm new to the motorola world I was always an htc fan...so I have no clue how to root or anything on the atrix...now my main question is...is this a real rom or is it more of a theme because I know the bootloader its locked on this phone...and if it is can done one point me in the right direction to easily root my device...and some one school me on this a little bit lol...thanks a lot...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DDRMSTRPRO:
It's usable... if i can find the damn thing. Can't find it so far.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] illmatic416:
Did you freeze or .bak any apps? Have you gone into the Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and cleared out the data in the Gmail app? Once you do this, it will re-sync when you open up the gmail app and that may fix your notification issues.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
I was in the same situation as you until the Atrix came out. My suggestion is to at least read from when Gingerblur 3.0 was released by Kenneth which was May (day) 1 to at least see where people are going right while others are either going wrong and/or struggling. Also search and read about RSD lite, rooting, sideloading, CWM, and other hacks such as webtop, hulu, etc.... hope that helps...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
that and read the first post on what this rom features. it is not built from scratch or from asop from my understanding its manufacturer rom with certain edits/tweaks. still its more than just a theme.

Ok thanks a lot guys...i got some reading to do...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
I can see the thumbnail of the last video I took, and when I click on it, it takes me to the picture gallery, doesn't show any videos.

Edit: it appears that the folder that the pics and videos go to is different than the folder I view through the gallery app. Perhaps a pre-existing condition. No insurance for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Its not possblie to be able to click on the thumbnail and have it go to the direct picture in the gallery due to the 3d gallery
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
I gotcha, I just want to be able to get to the folder that actually stores my pics and videos from the app. Directly, indirectly, doesn't matter to me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
So now I got prepared to go GB 3.0 in this order.

But unlike few hours ago. Now I have the OTA 1.83 update notification.

Should I change anything in my installation steps? Would I be bothered with OTA pop ups after I flash GB 3.0?

Mere thanks to all
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yes, you'll still get the update notification unless you update or flash 1.83. You can either get the 1.83 sbf and flash with RSD Lite, or you can add an extra step and flash 1.57 sbf, and then do the 1.83 update OTA. I just flashed the 1.83 sbf w/ RSD (didn't even bother to do factory reset). It only erased a couple of my apps (have no idea why certain ones were deleted), still had home screen setup and all contacts, etc. (if you flash 1.57, it's gonna wipe everything). No matter which way you go, you'll have to get your root back and then you can use CWM to install gingerblur 3.0.
