SWYPE

There is a way to install the new swype beta which meshes very well with 2.3 theme.

This is what I did and it works great

Mine would just have a black spot as if the flash element wasn't loading at all.

Also it does say to update if you go to the market with the flash bundled in, or maybe thats just because I was messing with it. I think I might have screwed it up by installing flash from titanium backup

I lost sideloading and tether after I installed v1.1
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Try the above if you want.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Check the files manually:

Should be able to enable sideloading... hhumm if you have sqlite & root explorer installed, navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. sqlite should open the .db, then select "secure". #3 should say "install_non_market_apps and should have a 1 for value. If it has a 0, change it to a 1, and press the back button to get back to root explorer and exit. May require reboot.

For the tether/hotspot mod check this:

**Edit**

The sideloading manual way worked for someone one the retain root thread, I helped eariler, when they said they lost their sideloading after running the retain root process.

Will I he able to flash this and just change the framework and ui but not the MotoBlur integration (for widgets and such)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Well after running the gingerblur .zip file, you can then run the restore bloatware .zip file to get the motoblur stuff back. With the new CWM .zip install method, in general, you don't get to pick and choose what installs, what gets deleted, etc. But like I said you can run the other .zip files.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Most people should retain sideloading and root after flashing GingerBlur. But, I am working on an update that will ensure root and sideloading.

This update is coming soon. I've got a heavy study load for a while that's slowing me down. But, I'm working on getting it all done so I'll have time to play with my Atrix.

For now, remember that you can:

1. Enable sideloading manually

Here's one way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969960

2. Install the Superuser application from the Android Market to get your root back.

:) Hope you all are enjoying it. My latest numbers from the few links say that about 700 have downloaded GingerBlur v1.1!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Don't go getting all GOD complex on yourself now... I mean just b/c you created a super bad ass theme/rom/framework (whatever you want to call it)... :p

Naw man, we all appreciate your hard work, and you deserve all the praise for a job well done.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Khalsa4G:
sorry for the delay, here's the instructions for hulu hack...

1) uninstall Adobe Flash 10.2

2) Reboot phone for good measure

3) Re-install Adobe flash 10.2 from market

4) (And Crap, I can't seem to attach files in a PM - that sucks) ok, for step for head over to the gingerblur thread and I'll have a new post w/ a .zip file attached. Grab it from there.

5) unzip the file to and put it somewhere on your phone. I just put mine in a folder I created on my ext micro sd card, where I keep all my replacement files (i.e. sound files, boot animations, etc.). Anyway, yeah, put the file somewhere on the phone or ext sd card where you will be able to find it.

6) Navigate with root explorer to where you put the file and copy it.

7) Now navigate to: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and replace the stock libflashplayer.so file that is located there.

8) restart phone for good measure.

9) Make sure that the user agent in dolphin HD is set to desktop, and Enable plugins is set to Always.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Cool, thanks. Anyone who is gonna try this, the file mentioned in step #4, is @ post #3152

**Edit**

Did it work for you?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tekpc2k2:
Yeah that procedure worked for me in the past with one of the beta releases. Now I just do it manually and it works perfect everytime.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yeah me too... cool, thx for the extra confirmation.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] j.bruha:
Can someone please just confirm one thing for me for the sake of my sanity?

I spent all day today messing around with my buddy's Atrix trying to get this installed after having read about it a couple days ago. While I was trying to download the necessary files, the briefmobile website appeared to go down as I was only getting a 404 error. I left an apparently older, cached version of the site open on my laptop and came back to it today to install RC1.

Upon further investigation, I noticed that not only was GingerBlur updated to 1.1, but the steps for installing it are also different as well. Can someone please confirm only that the installation method is in fact different than previous versions?

All that aside, the 1.1 installed just fine and my buddy loves it. His only complaint was the missing Moto wallpapers which I found for him anyway.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Ok, unzip the file and place the hosts file some where on the phone or ext micro sd card. Then with root explorer copy and replace the original hosts file (might want to make a backup) @ /system/etc/

May require a reboot.

Hope this helps... I have a inventory list for all the manual files I replace, had to look it up. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Yes the install is now done by CWM, just follow all the install instructions and you should be good to go. And, no I don't think you can just flash over RC1, you have to do the full install process; besides this will insure that nothing goes wrong.

**Edit**

But the good news is that once you do this, this should be the last time you have to flash 1.26 sbf (for gingerblur purposes anyway), since all updates will also be done via CWM update.zips.

Where does a download get saved from XDA app in android? Trying to save that libflashplayer in the system but I can't seem to find it..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Downloads folder... where is that you ask? I have no idea, I have my own folder created, and put all my stuff in there. If you're on your pc, you can just put you phone in mass storage usb mode and copy the file over that way. Then unplug phone and go after it.

**Edit**

I'll try to find the download folder.. I'm sure someone will beat me to it.

Try this: /sdcard/Download/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dinoarmas:
should I flash before I go GingerBlur or should I just go directly to GB install?

where I'm at currently with my Atrix [SCRIPT] Root v2 for 4.1.57 (Stock 1.2.6 REQUIRED) I have root using this method should I flash before I go GingerBlur or should I just go directly to GB install?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
If your on 1.57 with root and no previous gingerblur installed, the I would suggest just go on to the install of CWM step and then after that you can install gingerblur 1.1.

**Edit**

Sorry to focused on the word flash right now... deleted irrelevant info. from post.

How does one install select applications out of the bloatware.zip? I appreciate the alarmclock and weather widget among a couple others but don't really want ALL the crap. I tried just unzipping the file and opening the apk on my phone but after it goes through the install process it says "Application not installed".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Simply open up the bloatware.zip using 7zip or WinRAR (or another zip program) and look at the files in /system/app

Delete all of the files aside from:

BlurAlarmClock.apk

WeatherWidget.apk --> this one might not work without the Blur homescreen.

Then flash the zip through recovery and it will flash both of those APK (app) files to your applications in /system. Good luck!

Kenn, I'm not trying to embarrass you, but you know there's a thread titled "kennethpenn is THE MAN" on the dev forum... just a little God envy. :D :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Really what I did was all very simple... I don't deserve such high praise.

Hopefully once this is completely stable I can release some sweet themed ROMs based off of the same stuff. I'm thinking.... red? Honeycomb purple/blue? :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
I know... I like the fact that you packaged everything together in a nice bundle w/ a easy install package.

I'm sure the "Dev Gods" on this forum could care less, but you have won over the common man... You should run for XDA President!

Oh, +1 on the honeycomb blue/purple theme, that would rock!

Anyway, it's past 1 am here, and I actually do have to get some work done tomorrow... I'm out... wow over 100 posts today, glad I could help where I could. Catch you on the flip side XDA, I'm sure I'll have lots of reading to catch up on. Night.

Hey question, if I want to put wifi and btooth toggle buttons as a widget or a shortcut can anyone tell me where to find them? I can't find them anywhere.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
It is part of the bloatware package. Or you can just use SwitchPro Widget from the market, it has more options.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fsturbo15:
First of all, thank you for your time and effort in putting this all together.

I just flashed to 1.1 using the long method posted a few pages back, coming from 1.0 RC1.

First, things seem a tad more sluggish. I think it has to do with the battery savings on this update and the way it handles the CPU clock speed throttling.

Anyways, my only issue (which I didn't experience on 1.0) is when using the Clock screen, it says "Weather information currently unavailable" and when I click on that, I get the error message "Sorry, the application Clock (process com.google.android.deskclock) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Any ideas whats going wrong here?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I'm not sure how I did it, but it works for me.

If you want to go back to the stock Blur messaging applications with some GingerBlur modifications, consider modifying the bloatware.zip from the GingerBlur website. Just open it in 7zip/winrar and go to /system/app then delete everything except: "Conversations.apk" and "Messaging.apk" also delete the apps in /data/app. Then flash that .zip. ;)

hi ken! i finally received my atrix and your rom is fantastic!

can you put the Italian and German languages​​?

thank you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
I managed to install last night on 3rd attempt after I got over my own confusion. Install really is a snap if you pay attention and take your time. Absolutely love Gingerblur! Donations will be on their way as soon as I have time here at work to all involved.

Couple of things I noticed, and which may already have been listed somewhere else:

1. After creating folders, some of them cannot be repositioned. I can reboot and then reposition some which previously wouldn't move, but there are always some which won't move. Same with some of the apps I drop on my home screen.

2. Is there a way to change the grid size? Not a huge problem for me, but would be nice to have 5 rows.

BTW..........I used latest versions of all applications/files to flash SBF, run recovery, etc. and all worked perfectly. Only problems were operator error on my part! Phone appears to run smoother and faster now.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lsxrx7:
sounds like you need a different launcher ... LP Pro / ADW / Go Launcher will do it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Thanks for that. Using ADW Launcher EX as I had previously purchased that.

Atrix is my 1st Android phone coming from iPhone, and I think my wife believes she has lost me as I spend all my spare time reading this forum and trying all the tweaks myself. Having a lot of fun, and learning a lot along the way!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Goddamn those years wasted on the iphone! Help a new-to-android here.

My Atrix is rooted + has the Adeo rom. I did not install the OTA update.

Yesterday I had a "SD Card Damaged" error and had to format the sd storage card. Now I get a lot of force-close errors and decided to re-format and install this so-celebrated Gingerblur 1.1 ROM.

What should I do first? A factory reset? Recovery? or Just go with the gingerblur installation steps in this thread? I have no data to worry about in my device.

Thanks to all and gold luck.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I use GoSMS because it has more features than the stock app. I use SyncMyPix to sync Facebook profile pics with my contacts, and GoSMS has a built-in Facebook sync anyway (although that might be disabled once 2.3.3 rolls around).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] domin8:
follow the directions in this thread from the beginning, the SBF in the first steps is going to clean the phone so dont worry about a factory reset. you wont lose your pictures or whatever is on your internal sd card, just the apps and data on the phone itself.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Good. That's a lets-go for me now.

A lot of tea and cigarettes in the next few minutes! :)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Julian713:
Hey wanted to say this ROM is amazing. The instructions were great esp the Newbie link. Everything worked on the 1st try.

Only question I have is I'm trying to get the hdmi mirroring to work. I have no clue how to get that to work. I'm trying to figure that out. I downloaded the HDMI zip file but I didnt see any directions on how to install that. ANy help would be great. Thank you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Place it on your SD Card or somewhere on your phone's internal storage and install it using Tenfar's CWM just like you did with the Gingerblur zip. Same process :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Julian713:
Oh thats all? Thank you so much for the help. Just load System recovery-->Recovery boot---install from SD. Just wanna double check.

Also whats the difference btw hdmi mirroring and webtop hack?

Also is that how we still all those zip...hulu and webtop?

Thanx again dcarpenter85
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sagerox:
Beautiful widgets also has a bunch of nice ones and their always adding new ones too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] djkinetic:
Yay for update.zip goodness =)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dcarpenter85:
Correct, that is the method.

HDMI mirroring mirrors whatever is on your phone's screen to the external display device you are plugged into. Webtop hack will display the webtop software on the external device with the phone (or at least I believe this to be true, as I haven't actually tried it myself) being used as the trackpad/keyboard.

And yes you install all the zips the same way, through CWM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hcenteno21:
I have this same error. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Notification in Email App

I have installed the latest Gingerblur v1.1 ... however i observed that the default email app of motoblur which is stlll present in gingerblur no longer gives me the notification.

I want myself to be notified in case any email comes. Do I have to install the bloatware in order to get this functionality or there is some setting for it.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Your probably getting an error message for the weather, b/c the stock motoblur weather was deleted as part of the bloatware. Go get the restore bloatware .zip file from the same place you got gingerblur at, and then open /system/app in the .zip file and delete all other .apks, except the weather apk file, and then install the same way you did gingerblur... see if that works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
+1, I agree with your answer. Do not re-apply setting w/ titanium backup, only apps + data
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Is your phone currently rooted on 1.57? If yes, then you can go straight to installing gingerblur (as long as you also don't have a previous version of gingerblur already installed). If no, then you need to start at the very beginning @ step 1 of the instructions posted in the OP.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Did you check to make sure you have notifications enabled for it: E-mail app -> E-mail Settings -> Notifications

Various Bloatwares

Shouldn't we (Me or someone to help me) make some CWM flsahable .zip files to help people restore cetain parts of the bloatware....

i.e.:

"I want the stock Text Messaging apps back" = Custom .zip flashable

"I want the Weather Service to work" = Custom .zip flashable

"I want the Universal Inbox back" = Custom .zip flashable

"I want the stock Keyboard back" = Custom .zip flashable

"I want the Hulu hack GONE and Normalized" = Custom .zip flashable

"I want the Webtop MOD hack GONE and Normalized" = Custom .zip flashable

.. Also,

The Opposite of each of these, so we can go back and forth between these and UNDO them.. One to get stock things back, and one to get Gingerblur style of each of these back..

I would make these, but actually don't know exactly which ones to remove for each of these..

If someone can tell me, I will make the zips, and upload them or give them to Ken to put on his page... This is the Beauty of CWM

The 3D app drawer was designed for 800 x 480 (non-qHD) devices. I'm not skilled enough to port a version that doesn't look very silly.

LauncherPro allows you to have a 3D drawer, though!

Has anyone else had the issue where the gingerbread keyboard does not bring up a custom box to type in while in landscape?

It works fine while using Swift, but when using the gingerbread version it just covers up the designated writing area.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
I am not sure if you understood me correctly...

Yep that was the first thing that I checked.. I get the notification while I am going thru the email in the app and a new email comes or I refresh while using the app ...

Now after I close the app(not kill it), the app no longer checks for new emails .. so I have to check for email regularly and on my own ..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Ken,

Did you see my post above about the seperate Zip's.. You think you would be willing to help with that, I think it would help allot since certain people are wanting just certain features of stock and not others. I personally had issues with the Messaging app, it cause twice reboot of my phone, so I ended up restoring all bloatware, and then freezing what I didn't want in Titanium.

I can confirm that freezing just the weather in titanium made the clock app not display weather too.

What are your thoughts on that? I just think having to restore ALL the bloatware or NONE is too much or too little... Maybe that is a good way to be able to get arounf the fact that you no longer have choices of "Y/N" during install now with CWM recovery style

nice room thanks...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
To be honest, I wished users would problem solve themselves. For example... with DesignGears' Cognition ROM or MikeyMike's Serendipity ROM for the Captivate. DG and MikeyMike supplied the removed .apk's and users can add them by themselves.

But, I understand that there are a lot of first-time Android guys using the Atrix 4G who don't understand how to use the .zip files. I get that. So, I will create some extra .zip files to help everyone out when I have time. I'm busy with school right now and that's my number one priority.

When I have time I'll create some more .zip's, make sure the old ones work, and fix potential root/sideloading problems.

For now, I expect that the members of the XDA community that I love help each other out and problem solve with each other. :)

IM WAY BEHIND

sorry guys, i know people hate when people ask these kinds of questions, but i really do not feel like reading the 80 pages ive missed :/

im on b7.7

will OTA update work over gingerblur or restore sbf first?

in other words, what is a good order to do this update from having beta7.7 on 1.2.6?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] beatphreek:
In an effort to troubleshoot this myself, I have the bloatware.zip file and i see all the apk's in it. Can I just remove those I don't want and install it, or is there something in another file that will be expecting those removed files and break?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gpagador:
Yes...i created a similar set of zips for the ones I want and don't want. Again it will be trial and error if an apk depends on another apk that you remove. But it is as simple as copying the zip removing what you don't want and flash. Hope this helps.

This may be more of a general android question but is there a way to either

a) make the dialer only display contacts I want it to

or

b) keep android from downloading all the contacts from my facebook.

Basically it list a ton of people I'd never have in my contacts list in a million years. Somehow I got it to NOT do that in the default OS but can't find a way to do it in Gingerblur.

Which BTW is AWESOME!
