For those like me who need corporate sync and like the blur universal inbox you can install just that portion of the moto bloatware instead of all of it.
** EDIT ** I'm adding a couple more applications now. Please, others jump in to do other applications because I'm out of time working on my Atrix for this week!
** WARNING ** I'm not an android dev and this process has only been tested on my phone. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
There are 3 files attached.
messaging.zip - restores original blur messagine apps, including corporate sync, txt messaging with balloon conversation mode, and the universal inbox. It does not have the messaging widget.
taskman.zip - if you liked moto's Task Manager app, this will restore it for you so you can kill tasks and uninstall like before GB.
gallery.zip - restores the moto Medial Gallery application. Note the GB version of Gallery will still exist and both will work.
Quick instructions:
* You will need CWM Recovery for this
* Follow CWM instructions exactly - especially the part about plugging into the AC adapter or it won't work!
**NOTE** this will also install the original blur txt messaging interface with the conversation balloon mode. Its all one application so no way around it that I know of.
1) copy one of the zip files (attached) to your sdcard root directory
2) run CWM according to instructions in its thread
3) after reboot into CWM select "Install zip from SDCARD"
4) select "Choose zip from internal sdcard"
5) scroll down to the zip file name (ex: messaging.zip)
6) select the file (power button) and run the update
7) go back to main menu and select "Reboot system now"
A few steps but doesn't take long. I just pulled these out of the gingerblur-bloatware.zip and figured out what file structure you have to leave in place for it to function.
Hope this will save people some time.

I think there's a bloatware restorer on the greyblur site. Try that.
Will that install it all back tho or will i be able to pic
well ill look at it and see if it can do only one thing
thanks i forgot about that
Alright so i found them in the files there how do i delete the new one and get this old one back on there? im so confused help!
Still have not figured it out some one help?
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-reinstall-deleted-system-apps-bloatware.html
That thread helped me how 2 install the files but i cant install them it tells me
Application not installed any clue how 2 fix this and remove the old one some thing? any one?
You need to download the messaging bloatware zip, reboot into recoverymode and use CWM to install that zip file... It's the same process as installing grey/gingerblur.
Well if i new where the messaging bloatware zip was i would try 2 get that
i know they have the full one with everything but is there one with only the messaging part? or some thing like that?
Well i tryed 2 just install the messager part and i soft bricked my phone just fixed that but still dont have the old messaging system
Go to the android development section and find the gingerblur thread (it shouldn't be difficult). Then go to the gingerblur website given in the thread and download the bloatware.zip. you will also need tenfars cwm recovery which is in the development section also. Then just flash the zip file using the cwm recovery guide. Make sure your phone is plugged into a wall outlet charger when you do this (not a computer USB port) or it won't work.

laymil has posted a much better script for this. As such I will be discontinuing my work on this for now. Not for any hard feelings, but because it is now beyond me to help any further.
As always I am glad to have helped the community in some small way. Thank you all
CHEERS
Geniusdog254 Posted the exact lines in the build prop that needed to be changed. This is a pretty common fix for problems like this between versions of Android. There was some concern however that you may miss some of the newer apps released only for Froyo. I wrote some simple scripts that will fix this for us.
Simply: One puts the Froyo build.prop on your phone. The other puts the modded build.prop on your phone.
Prerequisites
YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED
YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
(IF YOU ARE USING PAULS FROYO ROM FROM HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
IT DOES NOT HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
Also--
There are now 2 downloads.
One will reboot your phone automatically
One will not!
(I recommend this one for anyone that has problems, or doesn't know ADB well.)
Installation
Code:
Download the attached .zip file
Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard
Place both "Normal_Froyo.sh" and "Modded_Froyo" files in the gscript folder on your sdcard
Code:
Open Gscript
Press menu and select Add Script
Press Load File button
Select Normal_Froyo file
Press Save button at bottom
Repeat for Modded_Froyo file
After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.
Normal_Froyo will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps
Modded_Froyo will give you the market fix build.prop
You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish
-----------------------------------------------
I've decided to skip the update.zip, I've found no way to copy the scripts to the gscript folder on the sdcard this way.
I'm going for an app instead.
P.S. I've never written an app before, java looks like russian to me lol. So if anyone has any tips, or knows any good tut's let PM me and let me know.
------------------------------------------------
fixed no buildprop folder
added NON-autoreboot download.
buildprop switcher v0.3.zip ORIGINAL
buildprop_switcher_no_rebootv0.3.zip NO REBOOT
buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip DOWNLOAD THIS ONE
When the file is unzipped, there are 4 files - No Buildprop folder. Now I get the part about putting the two .sh files into Gscript folder.
Do I make another folder called buildprop and put build.2.1 and build.2.2 inside?
OR
Do I put build.2.1 and build.2.2 onto the root of the SDCARD?

So sorry lol Didn't notice until I was making the update.zip that I didn't put the other files in a folder IN the zip. Just make a folder on your sdcard called buildprop. and put them in there.

Right.. the checkin service runs on each reboot. So it is not needed.
Worked just fine, but I did have to do the checkin thing. Possibly had poor signal but checkin hadn't done on reboot. Worked fine after that...

Can the checkin method be used, instead of rebooting? I'd much rather switch back and forth via checkin rather than having to reboot.
Thanks.

The reboot is built into the script. On my phone, if I checkin, the apps still don't show till I reboot. But show if I only reboot. If checkin alone works for you though, you can remove the reboot command from the script.
I'm not sure what happened, but after following the instructions exactly, my phone crapped. It got as far as the first nexus logo (non-animated), then the buttons lit up and I got a black screen. And that's how it stayed.
Any ideas?
This worked great for me I also solved my (unrelated) prob with SlideIt by forcing the dictionary to save in the settings, so I'm no longer bothered about losing shortcuts stuff on a reboot.
Dandy!!
tested again with a second n1. works perfect! automated checkin works perfect.
Can you please post what changed in the .prop file.
Also you didn't add the video codecs in the "new" prop file

The only thing I changed from the stock to the "modded" build.prop were these 2 lines
from this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF50 38042 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys
to this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys
I didn't add anything else to these. If you would like other things added to the build.prop files. You are welcome to edit them yourselves, or let me know what things you want changed, and I can include them.
I can make it user friendly. With descriptions for each modded line, then you can simply un-comment the options that you want.
PS: I thought I had the flashable update ready, but the update-script is giving me problems. ANYONE that wants to help please let me know. I'd really like to get this out to everyone.

To anyone that can't get thier phone to boot all the way after doing this
Its not a big deal. Your phone booted. But the build.prop didn't get copied before the reboot.
If you did a nandroid before you tried it. Restore that!
If you didn't, OR you know how to use adb. Do this
Code:
adb remount
adb push [COLOR="red"]/path/to/build.2.1(or)build.2.2[/COLOR] /system/build.prop
adb reboot
I hope to have this fixed quickly.
ANYONE WHO'S PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AFTERWARDS!
Check and make sure you put the files in the right place.
build.2.2
&
build.2.1
go in
build.prop FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD
that was the only reason I got the error, i deleted the files off my card when i was testing the flashable update.
If you still get an error. open both files in the gscript folder, and remove or comment out the reboot line. Then tell me what error you get in gscript.
So I did this and am able to see the new apps. When I reboot the phone I cannot see a bunch of old apps in my launcher. I revert to the normal script and reboot again and still cannot see a bunch of my apps. Appbrain says theyre installed and I can open them from there but no widgets or shortcuts for them Any Ideas?

Are those apps moved to the SD by any chance? If so, best bet is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Find your launcher, and force stop it. Should work after that.

Ok after another reboot, apps don't show again. FC the launcher they come back but not the widgets.. Grrrrrr...

4)7-Zip (or any other zip utility that can place files into a zip without extracting)
How to...
1) Open up the attached file in 7-Zip
2) Place Swype.apk in the "app" folder
3) Place libswypecore.so in the "lib" folder
4) Place the zip file in your sdcard
5) Boot into recovery

8) Go to the main menu and install the zip file
9) Reboot and go to any text field
10) Hold the text field until a popup appears

An easier way to do this, which is what I have been doing, is to simply use a File Manager with Read/Write (Root) privileges and copy the libswypecore.so file into your system/lib directory and then install the Swype.apk like a normal app. This way you can do everything without needing to reboot.
I installed by giving them my email getting the apk and installing...you could almost calk it average lol

If I'm not mistaken, I don't think this is allowed to be posted... Swype's rules.

so quick question, how would I go about uninstalling this?
Swype FCs every time it tries to load.
Mytouch 4g CM 7.02
I'm getting force closes as well using the files posted here. I followed these instructions here because after installing via the sywpe installer beta everytime I rebooted my phone it wouldn't trace anymore. To fix this I needed to disable and reenable swype. So as of right now I'm still outta luck.
To remove swype though simply go into titanium and scroll down to swype and delete it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Unfortunately swype force closes are not due to this zip and chances are it is the ROM. I would suggest trying fix permissions from recovery or ROM manager. Other than that I would not know what would be causing the force closes.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
maybe i'm confused but i just went to swype.com and registered for beta and it works fine
is this different?
Before I ever tried the files here I used the beta installer that I registered and it seemed like everytime I rebooted it wouldn't swype anymore and the keyboard would flash like an error. I've been running cyanogenmod nightlies, currently on 61. I've tried fixing permissions before but it never corrected the issue.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I tried the Root Explorer method with the same results. No matter what I do to install Swype on any ROM other than CM7, I can't get the keyboard to "swype". I've even created a new account with swype to download it again with no luck. I'm close to using something other than CM7 as my daily ROM but I need Swype! Any more ideas?
Thanks!!
When it won't swype after reboot. Try selecting another board, type something, then go back to swype and slide. Used to work for me when I was using swype
this worked flawlessly! thanks
im running nightlies. i downloaded iced glacier for the original swpe .apk and libswpe files. just selected update zip from sdcard in clockwork.
forse closes, then i uninstalled and uses root explorer to copy both files, than i change the permissions, it worked but gave error about licencing, that this is for some other device. im using htc panache stock GB ROM.
than yesterday i realized new beta is out i re-registered and installed the latest beta which is ofcourse much better , only thing im missing is light colored theme of oribngnal swype.

I got the constant force close using the new swype 3.0 the way I fixed it was deleted it then right after I reinstalled it I rebooted in to recovery and cleared both caches and fixed permissions. I don't think rom manager fix permission is working right for this version.
Ok I've done a little research on this but can't find what I'm looking for exactly.
I really don't like the Blur Contacts app. I have figured out how to filter things correctly so I only get my usual Google contacts but I'd still like to get one feature back that I had on CM - direct dial and direct text message shortcuts. They were supported through the AOSP Contacts app from what I can figure out. The Blur Contacts app has something similar but it doesn't work consistently. Does anyone know if it's possible to install the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk extracted from CM 6.1.1 (what I had on my EVO) and bring them over to my rooted Atrix?
I'd like a different contacts manager as well. This one combines services which is not what I want/need. Any suggestions that are similar to CM contacts on N1 would be appreciated!

How to Install Android AOSP Apk, in any system.
Find the AOSP apps from a CM6 build by unzipping and pulling the .apk file like browser.apk. Install "File Expert" (Free and amazing file browser with full root access and alteration capabilities application)
Copy the .apk you wish to have on to your phones SD Card
Run File Expert,
hit menu/more/File Explorer settings. Then check "Root Explorer" on the bottom.
hit menu/more/mount/Mount As Read Write
Browse to /System/Apps Find the App you wish to replace with the AOSP version.
Hold Down on the App and when the options come up choose file operations and rename to something like application name.apk.bak
Browse to your SD Card find your app. hold down to choose file operation then choose copy.
Go back to /System/Apps then hit Menu button and choose paste.
Locate the app you just pasted and hold down on it and in file operations choose "permissions" Check Everything and exit out of File Expert
Note: You may need to redo the shortcuts for the app on your desktop and or launcher.
Note: Must have a rooted phone.
Note: 2.3.3 apps may or may not work on 2.2 Android Roms and vice versa.
Note: if this causes errors or failures delete the new apk and rename the old apk to its original name.
Good luck!!

Download the latest Cyanogen mod for your phone or any. Unzip on your pc and go to the folder labeled system/apps. Get the apps you want from there and pass them to your phone via USB to your phone then follow my previous instructions.
I have already tried to install a different dialer/contacts app. I had no luck, I think that the stock dialer/contacts are to deeply tied into motoblur and the phone system. It won't break your system but you just will not have a dialer or contacts.
Did you try it to my exact instructions. Making sure to you the cyanogen mod that corresponds to your version of android? If it didnt show up on your list you may have tried the 2.3.3 instead of s2.2 dialer.
Oh, I would love to hear the solution to this. I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. I pulled Contacts.apk from a Liberty backup I have and have been trying to replace BlurContacts.apk with it to no avail. I believe someone above may have touched on it. Possibly to change when other things look for BlurContacts, and instead refer to Contacts.apk?
I have tried several different contact apps. None work I think that the blur apps are to deeply tied into the system to allow a change.

This is a guide I've compiled to simplify Androidiani theming on the XT720. Took me forever to read posts & work through trial & error... credit to Kalagas & Zepplin Rox for the majority of this post, I just compiled into one guide.
------------------------------------------------------------
1st install Open Recovery
If you already have open recovery, but not andriodiani, download Androidiani to your desktop.
Open the zip & copy the “open recovery” folder to your sdcard root (copies over all previous OR files).
Copy the “update.zip” file from Androidiani to your sd card root & leave it there (nothing else to do with this file at this point).
Then boot your phone into recovery (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
You should have the androidiani menu above the standard OR menu.
Just reboot your phone to normal operating android os.
Download the desired theme to your desktop from theme developer.
Use windows/linux via usb to create the following folders on your sd card, you have to create the folders manually the 1st time, 1-4 below:
1) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/apps/All modded .apks
2) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/bootanimation/empty
3) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/fonts/empty
4) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/framework/framework-res.apk
Open the theme zip & copy the files to their respective folders you just created.
OK lets go for it....
Reboot into Androidiani OpenRecovery . (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
Just to be sure make Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache.
Then choose Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu - Menu Install and Restore Theme - Install Theme, pick the install option and let it finish.
After Theme is installed, make again Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache and Reboot.
You should have your new theme up & running.
Go Pack Go!
Do you have any links to some themes?

This is a guide I've compiled to simplify Androidiani theming on the XT720. Took me forever to read posts & work through trial & error... credit to Kalagas & Zepplin Rox for the majority of this post, I just compiled into one guide.
------------------------------------------------------------
1st install Open Recovery
If you already have open recovery, but not andriodiani, download Androidiani to your desktop.
Open the zip & copy the “open recovery” folder to your sdcard root (copies over all previous OR files).
Copy the “update.zip” file from Androidiani to your sd card root.
Then boot your phone into recovery (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
You should have the androidiani menu above the standard OR menu.
Just reboot your phone to normal operating android os.

What am I supposed to install the update.zip file? Just copy it the the sd card root and leave it there? Or is there a menu option in Androidiani/OR that I'm supposed to choose? Little confused at that point. I can reboot into Open Recovery and there's a multicoloured droid in the background (as opposed to a straight green one).

I did indeed get it working sort of, Thank you! I lost access to the menu that pops up when you hit the power button (the shutdown/airplane mode). The phone would just power the screen down and then rebooted immediately.
As such I'm going back to square one and reflashing it back to 2.1, and try upgrading to 2.2 again. Not as bad as it sounds... since my 32GB class 10 sd card arrived this morning.

P.S. I re-read my original message and it came off sounding a bit rude, please attribute it to lack of sleep and accept my apologies.

I don't think you need to go back to a 2.1 SBF, just nandroid >> restore the desired version.

I know you are only trying to help but.....
This sounds like a new topic... start a new thread... this is the problem with forums... I started this thread so people don't need to sort thru unnecessary BS to figure out Androidiani & Androidiani applied thmes for the XT720. Just sayin...
No need for apologies

Those were the sources I used... I'm sure there are many others... Kudos to them too!
So... is there any reason to not use androidani? Any reason to stick with vanilla Open Recovery? (I'm on the fence and haven't tried androidani)

The Androidiani Open Recovery is a modded version of OC, It just adds additional functionality. No reason not to use it IMHO.

Try copying this file to the root directory of your sdcard.
If that doesn't work try using the Install option in Dexter's System Recovery app.

Joeykrim's Custom Android Application Backup and Removal Update.zip
Disclaimer: Use this at your own risk.
BETA version - not very pretty but its working!
Description:
The default is nothing. If you select nothing, it does nothing. This will ONLY backup and remove the applications manually selected.
This does not effect anything on the /data partition - meaning no data or settings will be changed by using this update.zip
Background:
This will allow stock applications (.apk and .odex) to be backed up to the sdcard (/sdcard/sdx/backup) and removed from the phone (/system/app). If an app is selected to be removed and its already removed, the script will keep going, it will not result in any kind of error or boot loop.
Requirements:
Custom Recovery
*Note update.zip will not be signed.
Directions to manually sign
Instructions:
Check any combination of boxes next to the application names and they will be combined into one joeykrim-custom-app-removal-update file for download.
Download this file and put it on the /sdcard.
Boot into a recovery mode using a custom recovery (reboot recovery from adb shell or vol down + power).
Select Apply Update.zip and choose the zip.
Applications (.apk and .odex files) will be moved from /system/app into /sdcard/sdx/backup/
Reboot.
Web Site:
http://www.joeykrim.com/evo3d/custom/index.php
Added more applications to the list. If there is an application which isnt on there that you want added, please post it and I'll add it!
To Do List:
Setup preconfigured packages (Standard, Extended, etc.)
Clean up the UI
Please post what you want added!
Appreciate all the help and support! Open to feedback. Please post your questions, concerns, issues and experiences. Thanks!!
This is really nice. Glad to see you around. Thanks for all you do.
Looks pretty cool, I like the odexed backup, makes ROM-trimming less worrisome.....

i randomly select apps and the site produces the .zip file which downloads. file appears to be correct and the site working.
i'm wondering if maybe one of the apps has a typo in it. which apps are you selecting? if its too much hassle to type up a long list of apps, you could link a screenshot of the browser window...
thanks for the feedback and appreciate everybody's support!
nice saves me loads of time thanks a lot
I tried making one in Chrome (selected ALL except 3 Calendar ones) and it hangs and I get a "no data received" but I did the same thing in IE and it worked fine.
