Woohoo, Ken's the man. Looking it up now!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Latest Version

Kenneth, First off, thanks for your energetic efforts with GB. Second, I am running 1.57 on my unlocked and rooted Atrix (TMobile)...

Primary Question: What version of Gingerblur should I install? I have been following these threads but they are endless and tend to be confusing. THNX

edit: The original GB 3.0 download http://briefmobile.com/gingerblur-rom-for-atrix-4g is dated 3-22-11 but today you are saying "Version 3.0 released" on 5-02-11 that the new update is available... What is the newest update???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carreddy:
Thanks a lot kenneth.Its 2 am @ where I live.Starting install now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tacotino:
Ken!!! Dude your the shizz!!! i'm going to pick you from now on in ssf4!!! hahaha

but really dude thanks!!!!

so our internet speeds should go up??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NguyenHuu:
thanks! you mentioned there's a reworked framework that makes it easier to theme with, can you explain? I de-compiled the framework-res.apk and brieftly compared with the previous one, looks similar to me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
Thanks for releasing it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
Good to be back on Gingerblur :)

Thanks kenn!

On a side note, my internal storage is experiencing a strange bug where when I plug in my USB and select mass storage, it doesn't unmount properly and instead keeps bouncing back and forth from its proper data free/used counts to 0 free 0 used. Odd. And that's just running stock 1.83.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I can't exactly speak to that issue. Never had it on stock or GingerBlur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitewalker033:
NICE....Thanks 4 the fast release
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
BTW: If you liked the work I did here, make sure to do me a personal favor and follow my website on Twitter. I give off lots of GingerBlur-related and Atrix-related tweets on there. No need to donate... checking out my website is thanks enough.

Hey Ken, once again - thanks! Only one little problem - the build didn't have youtube installed by default. Installing it from market installs a copy that crashes the phone causing it to reboot. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] madquack:
Fantastic work yet again sir!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
can anyone confirm this? I sorta like youtube xD
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Sweet. Flashing to 1.83 now, loading soon.

I've already tried webtop manual install on 1.83 and it worked for me. Not guaranteeing it for anyone else of course.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12580345&postcount=634
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
That's correct folks! YouTube is no longer considered a system application by Motorola. Instead, you just download the latest version from the Android Market.

Forgot to say that in the post. YouTube is now considered an external application.

home and search buttons

i have flashed your rom twice after a clean sbf 1.4.2 rooted and deodexed and everytime i flash your rom my home button and search key stop working, i have rebooted a number of times, removed the battery and wiped dalvik cache and nothing worked, replaced launcher,any ideas? thanks for the help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filmusikat:
Can I flash this over 2.5?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Not sure why that'd happen. Sounds like your permissions on a key settings database may be off. Good luck.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Sure mate! As long as you're on 1.8.3... flash away!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] filmusikat:
Thank You Ken!! You da man! ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
any ideas how to fix this problem? it worked fine the first time i flashed this rom but now it doesnt matter how many times i flash this rom it wont fix itself. thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kidqian:
hey man,i've already flash your gingerblur 3.0 on atrix.but here r some questions:when i press&hold the menu button to see the Thumbnail of all screens.they r all white..why???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
An SBF flash will probably fix it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Not sure what you're referring to here. A little more info?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kidqian:
i mean when i hold and press this button(u can see it from attatchment).

five screens are all white.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Do you actually have stuff on the screens? It looks like you have some transparent stuff. Obviously transparent stuff wouldn't show up correctly on the white background.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LayzeeEyez:
Sweet, back on gingerblur! Thx again ken
[Atrix 4G Android Development] neodoru:
I had the same problem (I have a bell atrix) with 2.5. I've installed a launcher from the market, just so I would be asked how to define the home button's behaviour. I've chosen the default launcher and both buttons got fixed. Restart phone just in case!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
Everytime I reboot screen display reverts to 15 seconds. All my apps are not showing on the my apps market...

Edit: 183 Ginger break 2.5 to 3.0 GB...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Where is the damn OTA update? Is it live yet? I can't flash 1.83 on my own because I will lose root and can't use gingerbreak since I don't have an external sd card.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
First problem is a known bug. Thanks for the report. Second -- no clue why.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
Place the gingerbreak.apk in your internal memory and let it do its thing...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
So you are confirming that Gingerbreak will work without an external SD? That is awesome news if so, everything I have read has said external was required.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
I know for a fact it said sideload gingerbreak.apk in your internal memory which I did yesterday and was able to root. Get root checker from the market to verify root or use an app requiring root to verify...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
Used Best App app to scan all my apps and now they are back my apps market...

Thanks, you the man Kenn...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Thanks, going to try now :) Did you revert to stock before flashing 1.8.3 or can you flash straight from Gingerblur 2.5?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
Some people are reporting that they went ahead and updated directly which I should have tried first but hey when you gingerbreak it erase your internal memory anyway. I reverted back to my 157 backup via CWM updated sbf 183 gingerbreak then Gingerblur 2.5 then 3.0 on the way to work this morning.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s1mpd1ddy:
nice work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
Is there an easier method of regaining ability to install OTA/SBF updates with gingerblur installed? Easier than flashing back to stock, then update, then re-install gingerblur? You know, for when 2.4 is released? :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
I have read reports of a few people flashing 1.8.3 sbf over gingerblur 2.5 with success. I chose to go the clean stock route just to make sure no incorrect settings were retained.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
i have tried this and literally everything else and still wont work, i guess until it is fixed then i will just flash the 1.4.2 sbf to get the home button working again and then throw a theme over top. going to miss that reboot option :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Bloatware restore...

Ken,

Is this Bloatware restore file been updated with 1.83 files?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ayoo456:
Did you sign into motoblur? That fixed it for me

Sent from my Atrix 4g
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
So you are 100% sure you don't have an external sd card in your phone? I went ahead and tried it and Gingerbreak isn't working without an external...now I am stuck on 1.8.3 with no root lol. Guess I have to go buy a micro sd?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Paschalis:
There is also in the market an app that fixessome things in home apps, for motorolla phones. I don't know if this helps.

Downloading now 3.0 :)

THANX KEN!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
I do have an external SD just re-stating the things I have read and done that are working well in my situation...

Edit: after installing the gingerbreak.apk did you find the app and run it then chose root device? Or can you tell me where you are with the apk...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
I have read mixed results on this. For me, I was never able to get GingerBreak to work without an external SD. It would just hang forever. As soon as I installed the external SD, it would work, but always format my internal SD. Several people have claimed that they did not need an external, and that it did not format their internal, but that was not the case for me. Your results may vary apparently.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s1mpd1ddy:
Thats what i did. I was on 1.83 rooted... then I decided to flash gingerblur 2.5 on it, and HSUPA wasn't enabled, so instead of starting from square one with 1.27, i just flashed the 1.83 SBF and voila, i was back!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xdraconis:
The Music player included breaks the cardock functionality. Probably not a huge deal but worth noting, I actually use the cardock.

Aside from that great work! 3.0 looks awesome! Thank you!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SilverKeiser:
1.83 SBF

Does anyone have a link to download the AT&T 1.83 file? Thnx
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jayrod88:
Also would like this. However it may be under the Atrix "General" section. I'm just not sure if that is the AT&T one or what.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
+1 for the 1.8.3 link. Pretty please..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Anyone else notice with 1.8.3 you can no longer click on the circle battery widget to get to options?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
I just went and bought a cheap 4gb external sd and successfully ran gingerbreak. I am now on Gingerblur 3.0 and loving it :)

I would like to reiterate the fact that you DO need an external micro sd card in your phone in order for Gingerbreak to work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s1mpd1ddy:
I have circle battery widget and have not noticed that. I use it all day everyday. Just checked my battery again actually
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
Yeah its because we are late to the dance we didn't know we have to go through the setup and log into motoblur.

never realized how much I used that button till i didn't have it anymore
[Atrix 4G Android Development] frankiedizzle87:
If u just updated the radio with the telsra pr w/e its called so u need to update isn't it the same thing or is it worth updating. I am currently on greyblurr so I wonder how would I got about updating? Thank u
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LancerV:
Also how do I get the messaging app back on 3.0?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Anyone else is just reading posts here and frustrated not knowing what to exactly do?!

I'm currently on system version 4.1.57, rooted and using GreyBlur 2.0 ROM.

While waiting for GingerBlur 3.0 the last few days, I used the phone extensively to download many random apps and test them in attempt to wipe it completely with GB 3.0.

So I'm not worried about losing data.

1. The GB 3.0 ROM installation guide on Kenneth's website says to just CWM the ROM if rooted. Then why a lot of replies here with complications and other methods?

2. Do the GB 3.0 ROM have the fly-in menus and semi-transparent pulled notification bar like in GreyBlur?

3. What is the suggested method to install the GB 3.0 ROM with the 1.83 updates starting fresh everything.

4. I use the webtop hack a lot, even bought a longer Micro HDMI cable. How this feature will be back to GB 3.0?

5. People are reporting failure for this fix here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056470&page=2

I personally used it before with Adeo, Greyblur, Gladiatrix and GignerBlur ROMs. I think it all it needs is just a deoxed system. What could have possibly changed in 1.83 to break this fix?

Thanks in advanced to all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tweety18873:
The diffence can be found in the last digit telstra's is. 07 and the one that came with 183 is .15. With the newer built I have been getting 3.9 and 4.04 Mbps up and 1.26 and higher Mbps down between 106 and 122 Ms via speedtest from Postsmouth, VA to closest test site Richmond, VA. Better than. 07...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
I read that the 1.83 ROM does not write over everything, so my upgrade path was: format int SD/format ext SD>factory reset>flash 1.57>flash 1.83>login MotoBlur acct>GingerBreak>GladEnable>install CWM>GingerBlur 3.0

All is well, but have not tested Webtop. I believe Kenneth said it does not work yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Where did you get the 1.83?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Finally, a helping soul! Thanks a minute swiftks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
My path to 3.0 was as follows:

Gingerblur 2.5 > CWM restore to stock 1.57 (rooted) > backed up internal sd for good measure > factory reset (stock 1.57, no root) > flashed 1.83 > gingerbreak and then restored everything via titanium, glad enable to get sideloading.

3.0 is running flawlessly now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheDude:
Great work! Didn't go through the .bat but shouldn't the hdmi mirroring get pushed to the device prior to aroot execution? reason I ask is during the aroot install it automatically reboots the device... then prompts for hdmi mirror. I waited for the reboot but assume most would not... you may have a time delay in the .bat, again didn't look but I could see how that would cause the script not to run entirley...

SO EXCITED!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rknight68:
I'm in..

I was not able to get Beta 5 to load at all, went through all the motions but no changes to the phone. Beta 6 this morning went on with out a hitch. Liking the new menus, thanks for the hard work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TheDude:
Flash went well, phone booted very nice. Mobile radio cycles and cannot connect. Actually it will connect jumps 3g to h a few times then enters airplane mode. When I attempt to access apn's in settings I get a force close. :( I assume it has something to do with the mobile hotspot apn settings that was pushed... sure wish that was optional in the installer as I use wifi tether anyway. Besides no phone or internet it works perfectly! Oh well, I guess if I get the urge to browse the web on my atrix I can just connect it via wifi to my captivate ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Nice work !! Gonna give it a try. I think I figured out why I'm getting killer battery. Don't have my email/Gmail fully setup. Only contacts and calendar syncing. Going to test that theory today.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gogorman:
I would also be interested to know if it removes the MotoBlur lag, or pethaps some of it.

I know you can use TB to "freeze" those apps that are linked to MotoBlur and beyond, but do we notice any speed/memory increase from using this ROM?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slyydrr:
For what it's worth, I still have my MotoBlur account (Facebook syncing, etc) but went about it a slightly different way:

I was already on GingerBlur v3

Did a factory reset (re-added some of the bloatware)

Installed GingerBlur v5

By doing this, I maintained MotorBlur w/ the Facebook syncing, but also now have a clean GingerBlur install as well. I haven't attempted anything w/ v6 yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
Installed beta 6. Love it working great.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkurl:
Thanks for posting this. I for some reason couldn't get mine to work w/ these cmd's. I couldn't even get it to push the file to the app folder but I did get it to push it to the /data/local/ folder and then copied and pasted and then installed it.

I must have something weird going on w/ my root. Oh well I will sort it out sooner or later.

Thanks again I am happy I have one combined inbox now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] motoatrix:
Please excused a Noob but how would one go from Adeo rom to this new rom? Do I uninstall the adeo and install GingerBlur or just install over the Adeo. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Want me to be completely honest? Flash the SBF and then install this. A clean install is ALWAYS better.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
You rock the updated installer worked like a charm, though I am using a different comp now gonna test it on the original when I get home. And yes adb was up and running before lol otherwise I wouldn't have asked XD en ways awesome work looking forward to what you have cooking next.

Past out like a light earlier other wise I would have replied thanks for the follow up pm

Flashed the Beta 5 and love the fact that the AT&T logo is gone from Notification Bar. However, for some reason, despite setting up Exchange Corp Sync successfully, my Exchange contacts won't sync. Any ideas or suggestions? When I access the Accounts page, it shows my Corporate Sync under Motoblur Accounts and not Other Accounts. Any help would be appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Immix:
Here is what i did:

1. Ran SuperOneClick and clicked on Shell Root

2. In command prompt, I typed these commands:

a. adb shell

b. mv /system/app/BlurEmail.apk /system/app/BlurEmail.apk.gingerblur

c. mv /system/app/BlurEmailEngine.apk /system/app/BlurEmailEngine.apk.gingerblur

d. exit

e. adb install Email.apk

f. adb shell

g. reboot now

i didn't even have to use the Email.apk from the jkurl's post. I used the Email.apk app with exchange security bypassed from Nexus One forums.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
Happens alot on sync settings if the first google account dosnt show sync options then add a second and once added take a look at the first and you'll see the options for syncing gmail contacts ect

a over s, run aroot and undo what you did with superoneclick, superonclick installs a secondary busy box witch makes a mess of things aroot uses the busybox already built into the Atrix.

Revision: if you installed this you already have aroot there is no need for shell root or superoneclick as this enables non market apps
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JayRolla:
Does installing the HDMI mirroing mod along with webtop mod cause any issues? Or do they work together.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phaijai:
Sorry, misread the post, thought the bottom part was intended for me. The strange thing is that I have two Gmail accounts and both are set to sync everthing but contacts. My Exchange e-mail and calendar are synced with no problems. Within contacts settings, I don't even see my Exchange Corp account.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkurl:
yep my dumbass was looking for the setting to allow unknown apps to be installed and not thinking that this access was given already. I finally figured it out when i copied and pasted the apk in the app section and installed it.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
So after flashing 1.83 sbf and then installing Gingerbreak v1.2, I am sitting and waiting on Gingerbreak to root my phone... and waiting... and waiting... what gives? Any thoughts? Doesn't appear to be rooting, restarting, etc. I have already rebooted my phone, still no root, trying again with teh same results.

Has anyone tested the webtop or got the webtop working. I would love to flash this rom but if i dont have the webtop hack i wont be able to do it right away i use it too much at work to watch movies on the big screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Squeak22:
3.0 does not have the modem changes in it. You have to flash the 1.8.3 sbf or go through the OTA update first, then flash 3.0 on top of it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Squeak22:
Do you have the external SD card in?

Never mind got it fixed... v1.1 was installed for some reason, probably b/c I ran ken's .exe ginerbreak file first... uninstalled v1.1, installed v1.2 and now it works.

Anyone know how to get the messaging app back? Need to be able to see all my email accounts
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Doesn't really answer your question, but You should try out Enchanced E-mail... great app, that allows you to view all your e-mail account in one inbox. Much better than the stock messaging. Plus, then you can freeze all the messaging apps, and universal inbox, etc.

I see, thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] co.ag.2005:
ok, search on XDA appears to be broken today...

so my question, I am about to flash this and I noticed it included the Gingerbread keyboard. Does the stock Motorola multi-touch keyboard also stay on the ROM or is it replaced by the GB keyboard?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
You can do the GingerBlur bloatware restore. Just remove all the stuff you don't want and use CWM to install the zip from SD.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
1. The correct way to install GingerBlur is by using CWM and selecting "install from zip". This will simply write over some system files and not erase any applications or application data.

2. No.

3. If you want to start fresh, I recommend flashing the 1.83 sbf with RSD Lite, using Gingerbreak to root, GladEnabler to sideload, and then finally install GingerBlur with CWM.

4+5. I can't speak for these, though he did say that the webtop hack was only removed temporarily.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stl-soldier:
You can add the stock one back in by downloading the zip from the first post and load it with CWM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] co.ag.2005:
perfect! thanks!

EDIT: I flashed gingerblur3 and gingerblur-bloatware. After flashing the gingerblur-bloatware, I have Swype and GB keyboard, no multi-touch keyboard...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
There's a moto keybard zip that you need for that. And you may need to reboot a couple of times to get it as an option after you install it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dincodee:
where can I get the 1.8.3 sbf from
[Atrix 4G Android Development] katinatez:
Webtop confirmed, working for me but not the HD Entertainment. Changed the build.prop file from HDMI true to false and no video. But I don't care, I have webtop on 1.8.3 Gingerblurr 3. BUT NO VIDEO PLAYBACK.

Rooted 1.8.3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] B3ATTY:
I read through the install guide and it reads like you don't need to update to 1.8.3 first

http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-rom-installation-guide

Reading this thread it looks like you have to.

Could someone clarify>?
