lol, i did from begining, from fresh 1.8.3. got brick again when i used the 3.5 version, i used the file of the first link maybe is corrupt or something?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rozzco:
I notice it also shows in multiple widgets that I have running. Battery monitor and Fancy Widget Pro to name a couple. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mario925:
If your Atrix keeps rebooting after installing GingerBlur go to recovery and just delete DATA. Don't reinstall rom. Should fix bootloop issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mario925:
Why don't the search or home sensor buttons work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] galarond:
fixed, i guess, was a corrupt downloaded file....now i have to edit the file for the hdmi i hope i dont get a 4th brick in 8 hours

Flash not working after updating to 3.5...thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Uninstall, re-boot, re-install from market, apply hulu hack manually (see bottom of OP for link to my post), re-boot
[Atrix 4G Android Development] unity311mu:
Thanks again Ken, been out of town for a few weeks and came back to some great goodies!! Love the 1080p video and 1% battery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Can the hulu hack be used on Gladiatrix 3 as well?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yes... the theme doesn't matter, just so long as you use Dolphin Browser HD, set the user agent to Desktop and make sure that enable add-ons is set to always (under the advanced menu of Dolphin Browser HD).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LordOfTheSnatch:
Wouldn't let me uninstall but I redownloaded flash from a different source and installed it over the original and that fixed it. Thanks though!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Well...they aren't really themes ;). But thanks for the reply;) I'm using Miren instead. Much better than Dolphin HD in my opinion.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mario925:
How do I get Home and Search sensor buttons working?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
make sure you set up a motoblur account, if you don't then these problems tend to show up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Keyboard and MotoBlur

question: Is the moto multi-touch keyboard included with GB 3.5? Or do you have to reinstall it?

MotoBlur: I don't know who came up with this idea but it is a nightmare when you change phones or SIM cards... More Big Brother intrusions on your life.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I have it and extracted from an old version of gingerblur. I used Root Explorer to rename /system/apps/music.apk to .bak and then copied the 2.0 version in its place. Set permissions to match the 3.0 file which are root:root 422 (rw-r--r--). Most people forget about the uid and gid (root:root) on Android but it is very important to keep write access to your program files locked down.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hondaguy:
as much as i love your work, a small issues that i have that keeps making me flash back to stock is the the actual battery icon (in the status bar) seems to be even less accurate than the stock rom. i am actually ok with not seeing the actual percentage of battery left, but it bothers me that the indicator doesnt change until i am at around 75%. is there any way to make the indicator a little more accurate so that it at least gives a better indication on the 10s (ie, 90%, 80%, 70%, etc)? i just want to be able to take a quick glance at the screen and see a reasonable indication of the battery life left.

i use nolock so i dont have a lock screen that shows battery life, btw

thanks for the great work and effort to date
[Atrix 4G Android Development] caviera:
Can 3.5 be installed over previous gingerblur version??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
Yes. You can always simply flash new versions over older ones, unless he specifies otherwise. The only possible downside I can think of is that you may have duplicate APN entries, which is a nonissue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yep it will delete them and fully stock restore you. You'll have to TiBu your apps back. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xXxSamxXx:
That sucks, but thanks for the quick reply I'll probably flash beta 6 tonight :)

Sent from my Rooted, chilled, and webtop modded Atrix 4G
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Also the motoblur widgets dont allow you to change the size of them in the beta 6
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
You lose that functionality whenever you use any third party launcher, unless it also supports widget resizing like launcher pro+
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rafkong:
Locked bootloader means no custom recovery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
That's peripheral
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hungry4cheese:
Ok so I flashed this

Rom is very good looking. Can't complain. Love having the status bar clean. Couple of problems here:

My gmail is not syncing. I have to do it manually. Actually this has been going on even before I flashed this rom. It never actually worked. What do I do?

HDMI mirroring app says it is not available. POssible reasons are : this application has no superuser rights. The ro.hdmi.mirror.enable property is not set. Superuser says it has the rights. Where can I set the mirroring to enabled? Is there a db file I can edit manually in sqlite?

Also I lose internet occasionally on the network. For no reason at all. It won't come back till I reboot. Kind of weird.

In other words... I love the rom :) Also I removed bloatware. Will there be a way to put these back on the phone with an "uninstaller" with a later beta?

Also is there a way to get the aosp camera app onto the phone or something that allows autofocus by clicking in an area on the screen?

Another thing I noticed was that in the 3d gallery app, if you zoom in close, pictures seem more blurry than in the regular gallery app in blur. Slightly annoying.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] irenic:
how to manually restore the backup to return to the state before i flash this gingerblur 6?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheDude:
Sounds like your APN isn't setup for mms!

Sent from my Atrix 2G
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
Had to sbf flash to many complications with features of the stock apps such as web top and other services of motoral portal apps,[And Most of them were my fault XD ~evil grin~ due to some my modified stuff] luckily I didn't get as deep as I aimed with the webtop expansion but still was awesome to have the rom on the phone though, please make the remove bloat more versatile for those that like the portal apps and the web-top as they had them currently if possible to the goal of this rom otherwise will follow your work with this and test things here and there XD

Sidenote: already missing the rom X3

And was simple to restore everything back, though I would advise against a factory reset and not setting up the motoblur if you skip it you will see more problems, I believe it was posted already but just another plea read instructions and read though the posts
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mdunn1066:
Just wanted to post and say thanks for the amazing rom so far for a beta this is very good. One thing I noticed is the answer call screen is still motoblur style unlock. Is that intended or a bug?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tomlee337:
I get this too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lsxrx7:
I m hoping to see that changed in v7
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jonmueller:
Is there any way to change the transparency of the status bar? Thought that might be a nice touch.

Amazing ROM by the way. It installed like a dream! Had one weird restart where it went back to the Moto Launcher, with all the application pictures still changed to Gingerblur icons. All it took was a restart and it was back to Gingerblur's Launcher.

So one stupid question, how does this semi-ROM differ from Laucher Pro? Is the Blur Launcher completely wiped from the system? or just bypassed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Transparency MOD will be added in soon enough. I want to get a perfect working installer before I add cool new MODs.

If you remove bloatware, the Blur Launcher is removed. If not, the Blur Launcher is still available on the device if you get rid of the Gingerbread Launcher.

Launcher Pro is an application that just replaces your home screens launcher.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] irenic:
can you please guide me on how to restore everything back?

this rom looks great, but i have few issues here

1) home button not working at all

2) I don't have internet access. Fyi I'm using simlock Atrix and not on At&t. I have set up manual APN like I did before but it just refuse to work.

I wish I could restore the backup file and make everything works like normal or else I have to flash to the new sbf :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Will be changed in future versions! Not a bug, just haven't changed it yet. My primary focus is creating an installer that works without problems.

At the moment, I haven't succeeded. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Essentially you'll want to extract your backup and ADB push all the /system/app files to /system/app on the device. Also push all the /system/framework files as well.

THIS IS A BETA! Please do not install if you don't know how to use ADB to restore. In the future, I will make it easy for users to restore to stock/pre-GB.

PLEASE read the warnings prior to installation.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Athailias:
First let me say that I am not a CM fanboy, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to change the mms to the cm one (maybe root explorer?). I really like the vibration profiles. I have an older mms apk from them that I used to put in to roms on my captivate. I know there is a newer one out now, but I havent bothered to locate it. Here is the one I have in case you are interested in trying it out yourself.

edit..n/m ill try to figure it out or ask in q&a, was hoping to get it working before i flash this rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scaronscar:
why would you do that to your poor phone....let go of the past man...it takes a lot for the phone to bring up all that **** your saving,,,,,,,:confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
I still get sounds on sd card mount anyone else have this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I acknowledged that I disabled this incorrectly. It's on my list of things to fix. :D

Cheers!

Anyone having trouble playing a video over hdmi using the moto multimedia thing? my tv is black and i see like 2px high on the bottom of my phone of like moving colors which looks like the video being played back..

i was on 3.1 when i noticed this im updating to 3.5 as we speak so im not sure if the problem is still there.

also with webtop it says optional hack.. how do i turn it on?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Go into your /system folder and edit the build.prop file where it says "ro.HDMI.mirroring=true" and change true to false. You can do it with root explorer very easily. Otherwise you can use adb to do it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mav3tan:
anyone feel that this version stutters a bit?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Is there any way that I can use the stock gallery instead of the new 3D one? The 3D one seems to kinda lag for me and I don't really find it necessary otherwise.... Is it in the bloat restorer zip by any chance?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Go ahead and flash the bloatware zip. You can delete (within 7zip/WinRAR) any of the apps you don't want to restore before flashing. But the bloatware.zip messes with Messaging application, so I'd suggest not messing with it unless you know what you're doing!

Also, sorry I can't answer all (many) of your private messages. Make sure to post questions on this board and search this thread. I am extremely busy and cannot get to everything!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Alright thanks! I downloaded the bloatware.zip and noticed inside it contains the media gallery .apk. Could I potentially just put this on my phone and install it alone, instead of flashing the .zip?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mario925:
the 3D gallery isn't new. It's been around since the Motorola Droid 1.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
It's new to my phone once I install GingerBlur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
You should be able to move the .apk to /system/app, change the permissions to rw-r-r-, and reboot.

Just make sure you remove the 3D gallery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
I can't just put it on the SD card and sideload it like I would any other apk?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Don't forget to set UID, GUI to root:root... everyone seems to always forget about that stuff with applications!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Seadub2:
Should I remove the webtop over HDMI hack on GB 3.1 before flashing 3.5
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Won't make a difference, the files will be overwritten anyways
[Atrix 4G Android Development] agentdr8:
I'm having the same issue. I'm going to flash the latest GingerBlur to see if that helps. Couldn't find any other posts relating to this, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears/eyes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Yep! Just install that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Very odd. Never had that problem. I s'pose it is caused by my lowering of the proximity sensor's length-to-face mechanism. Although, what you're explaining seems to be the opposite of what I tried to fix with that.

Sorry you're having problems. Ultimately, I don't think most users are having these problems. When I make calls, it works perfectly. Proximity sensors tend to be a little slow and buggy in general (because they're really just tiny lenses)... but the Atrix one has worked alright.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mario925:
True in that way.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
It says 3.5 supports the 1% battery mod, but I don't see it anywhere?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Haha indeed. And thanks Kenn for the help!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Make sure to read! :rolleyes:

The percentage hack allows users to see a more accurate battery. In AOSP Gingerbread, there is no text label percentage on top of the battery. Therefore, I will keep it this way in GingerBlur as well.

In the future, I will provide a flashable zip for those who actually want to see the numbers in their status bar. For now, the battery mod's effects:

More accurate battery icon

Accuracy on lockscreen and in widgets and applications
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jc61990:
My phone awkwardly started playing music off my sd card earlier, this wasnt normal/funny.

i think it might be a bug.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Komodo Rogue:
Was it really random, or did you take out the headphones and suddenly music, or launch / end / install / uninstall something? If you were using it at the time, try to remember exactly what you were doing.

Hope that helps? Maybe spend next saturday reflashing through everything... at least then you'll have that brand-new-cell feeling :p

Keep up the good work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Hmm, one question : how is the experience if installing it over gingerblur 3.1? That one works perfect for me now, so i dont really want to mess it up, even have the webtop hack working, id like to have the new music app tho. Can I eventually just copy that app over?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
unrelated to gingerblur but I am a gigerblur user. I have been monitoring processes and see that Maximum Battery saver consistantly lowers overall CPU usage when device not in use. LocationFriendService shows constant CPU usage so I'm testing various latitude settings to isolate how to reduce. Our friends using GingerBlur may find that additional battery conservation is possible with simple settings. More to follow with completed solution. Responses suggested only for fully tested solutions as this is not the thread to discuss.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dpiranda:
First I would like to thank the excellent rom! I have used since version 3.0.

However since I updated to version 3.5 have experienced problems with the responsiveness of the screen. Sometimes when I press a number, it comes out several times, or another number ... or when I'm in a program, for example the camera or browser and I want out, the buttons are irresponsive. I have to press the hardware button to lock the phone, then the responsiveness come back and can exit the program.

Any one?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jc61990:
it was random. i was just sitting in the car with my gf. and it just started playing a song. not even from the beginning. my phone was in my pocket

touchscreen problems

I had one Atrix that was running GB 3.1 and it started to do the same thing and eventually became unusable. I did a factory reset back to 1.2.6 and the touchscreen still would not work properly so it definitley was a hardware issue. The phone is presently back at Motorola and they are looking at it. If they tell me what they find I will let you know.

Now have another Atrix running GB 3.5 and no problems... yet. :) A quick question: I notice this file "sdcard update.zip" in the open recovery menu. What is the file supposed to do? Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Wond3r:
So why shouldn't this be installed on a Bell Atrix? I just got one
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Its fine if you install an older version first. (3.0, 2.5) would also work with greyblur first then this installed.

Then after you install THIS version, you don't need to factory reset
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
can someone throw up a screenshot of this mod looks like please

EDIT: Never mind. I installed it, it's good. For anyone wondering, white numbers horizontally inside the green battery icon
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Wond3r:
Whats the reason for that?

And what advantages does gingerBlur have over just stock
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
why not just check out the gingerblur website?

Navigon menu contrast...

Not to be picky but I installed the Navigon Europe GPS app and although it runs fine on the main screen the menus (menu button) are white on light gray and almost impossible to read. If there is a way of fixing this please include it in the next update... Thanks

Alarm

Hi everyone,

First of all, big thanks to everyone who made this incredible rom available to us. I was tinkering around with the clocks and alarms and was looking for the feature from the original alarm that gives an additional backup alarm as an added layer of security in case you oversleep or don't hear the first alarm. From what I remember it went off five minutes after the original alarm but may have been able to change that setting. Does anyone know if it is included anywhere in Gingerblur 3.5 or the bloatware.zip? Or if not, where and how may I find this alarm? Thanks again.

Edit: Sorry I need my eyes checked, it was in the Alarm & Timer app on the top row of my apps drawer.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] scorneil:
There are a lot of apps like this. Kenneth has stated it's an app coding issue and not a Gingerblur problem (and thus nonfixable for him)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
it's just because when you install this (if you do it without doing any other pseudo-rom first) then you need to hard reset after install to make it work with a bell device on french sbf. that being said, for some reason a hard reset on this with bell devices (reportedly, i didn't have to do it myself) will ruin the motoblur setup, which will cause issues. old versions are fine, and updating to 3.5 after already setting up motoblur will maintain your settings since you don't have to factory reset
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Menu Visibility

Cool, I'll talk to Navigon and see if they can come up with a patch...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
People, do the above!! I just got the attached stats (though on GladiAtrix right now, it should work on Gingerblur). 7 hrs of display time is simply amazing. I did both; first reset in CWM and then drain --> charge to 100% without interruption.

Thanks for the advise Ken!!!

(On my phone are more than 120 apps installed. Battery Manager is on "Maximum " and the radio on 2g.)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Really glad to hear you had good results!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s0dhi:
If you're basically stock 1.83 and want the backend 1% battery mod, I've modified the services.jar from the standard deodexed system. It makes the battery percentage data available to the system, but doesn't alter the icons, etc.

You can find it here.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aleve1983:
but charge when phone is on or off?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
As soon as you plug in the charger it boots up to CWM, regardless what. I let it charge on that for maybe an hour & then clicked on reboot to start the phone. Most important I think is to let it charge to 100%.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Good results? Man, 7 hrs of display time!! :confused: It starts looking like the 30€ Nokia phone battery cycle soon..!! :eek:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LordOfTheSnatch:
I followed the battery directions and I'm still getting poor battery life. The phone also gets very warm to the touch. Any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Root Explorer is also guilty of this color coordination problem. Not sure if the GingerBlur color scheme is causing or not.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
The following settings will consistently maintain lower CPU and conserve battery.

1. Set battery to maximum saver.

2. Disable latitude with the following settings in Latitude a. Do not update location. b. Disable location history. c. Sign out of Latitude. It seems that all three Latitude settings are needed.

End result is graceful battery drain vs. rapid battery drain. Appologies to the thread purests, however there have been numerous rapid battery drain comments without anyone providing info on how they isolated and resolved. The above diagnosis may vary based on applications installed. My evaluation was made possible using the full version of SystemPanel which is not a task killer.

You'll notice from the screen shot that my battery drained quite a bit while typing this post with Tapatalk!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
this has been mentioned many times before, this is because certain apps use hardcoded themes so that they don't reference the whole theme that is created when the rest of the device is themed, making white colour-schemed menus annoying due to the app's inability to use them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Cool beens. I'll write to the developer.

EDIT: I have emailed support@speedsoftware.co.uk with this concern.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
It will likely be fixed in Android 2.3 for the Atrix. But, we'll see.
