Hi,
I'm currently on GingerBlur v4.5 right now and kind of want to update to 2.3.4 (some little things in GingerBlur just don't seem to work very well -- phone doesn't vibrate when I receive text messages, for example).
I'm aware that I need to go back to stock and then do the OTA update, but would doing so stop me from being able to root/theme? I'm excited for CM7 to be released, but kinks are still being worked out and I don't want to install anything that isn't at least in the "beta" stage, which I assume to be relatively stable.
Would reflashing (?) GingerBlur fix some of the issues I have or should I update to 2.3.4?
Also, is there any way to 'theme' Motoblur? I know of ADWLauncher and things like that, but I'd like everything else to look as close to vanilla Gingerbread as possible as well.. many thanks
When you say stock do you mean AOSP or Blurred 2.3.4? CM7 is the only thing sporting 2.3.5 that I'm aware of.
The latest stock version from Motorola is 2.3.4.
Sorry guys, meant to say 2.3.4 -- I've edited the post/title accordingly.

I am just wanting some feed back on something. I am pretty sure I know the answer but here goes. BTW can not post this to threads in devel section so posting it here.
I installed Grayblur 2.1 on a rooted 1.83 and it was fast, I was very pleased with it, but I did not like the theme, so I did a reinstall, the same install I did to get to a rooted 1.83 for Grayblur and then installed Gingerblur 3.1.
It seems slower to me. I would think it should be the same if not maybe better, anyone else seen slower scrolling in Gingerblur 3.1 vs Grayblur 2.1?
I notice it in the app menu and when pulling down the alert/status bar.
So maybe just a glitch in the install and should wipe and have another go, or is there a real difference between the two?
Personally I do not see a difference in mine from GreyBlur to GingerBlur, but I have read of others saying GreyBlur is smoother/faster. I did a clean install from 4.1.26 sbf flash to 4.1.83 updated, then installed GingerBlur 3.0 and updated to 3.1. Maybe a clean install makes more of a difference than we think it does.
I am running 2.3.4 GB currently and want to switch back to 1.5.7 for front camera need and also want to try new kernels out there. Only thing holding me back is Gallery. I really like new Gallery app on 2.3.4 and wondering if it is possible to use the same app on 1.5.7. Did anyone try it? Does it work if it just replace old app with new and change permissions?
Appreciate your inputs.
/K
Won't work from 1.2.6 or 1.5.7 different than 1.8.3 and 2.3.4 maybe someone can port it but since the source isn't released for 1.8.3 or gb not much u can do but u can always try to just back ur old one up.
AT&T ATRIX - VERSION 2.3.4 ROOTED BL UNLOCKED
Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.
If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated.
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it.
Alright thanks for the tip so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

I'm using Synergy lastest build, just use subversion and keep up w/ every change and add your own stuff to the apps and take out those you don't want.
Plus the new wifi tether beta5 works so got all my functionality back.
I have an LG Optimus x2. The android version is 2.2.2. How do I know what I have, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb, dutch oven, etc...?
I have Cerberus. It says I have to upgrade to Gingerbread to use the face camera, witch I want and need as a security measure.
What does the numbers mean? Ex. 2.2.2, 2.3.4, etc...
What do the baked goods names mean?
I want to upgrade to "Gingerbread" but will my current apps work in the new upgrade? The ones I am concerned about are:
Silent camera (I got it here on this site.)
Skype video (well it doesn't work on what I have now, its more of an inquiry.)
Hanping CE
Baidu input (I need these last two for school)
Then, where does CM7 come into this whole mess?
Now how do I go about getting this Gingerbread?
Sorry for the many questions as I just learned to root my phone a week ago.

Like you said, your phone has android 2.2.2.
That is Froyo
2.2 = Froyo
2.3 = Gingerbread
3.0 = Honeycomb
The numbers represent that version of android.
The names are just code names used by Google for each version of Android
CM7 is a custom ROM
Here's a link to it for your phone

As for getting Gingerbread. I'd suggest you have a look in the section for your particular phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=999
Your apps should also work fine. 99% of all apps that work on froyo will work on Gingerbread.
I'm kinda new to this whole rooting thing and so far the only ROM I've tried beside the stock 2.2 is Liberated Aria DDX FR007.
I was reading about Liberated Aria 2.2.2 final found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272 and wanted to know if this will be a good upgrade.
If so, is there anything else I should do after installing it? I was reading about an upgraded Kernel (which i have no clue about) and GPS issues.
Is there anything else I should know about? Basically I was thinking about this move due to some bugs i currently have with my current setup. Contacts getting erased and no sync with gmail or fb.
Sorry for the noob questions, I just got lost following that thread after 40 pages.
Thanks in advanced for any advice.
Liberated Aria 2.2.2 is pretty much just a slightly updated version from FR007. If you like to keep things working pretty much the same way they do now then you should be happy with it. You do not need to worry about modifying the kernel or GPS libs with that ROM.
I would suggest doing a clean install if you are having syncing problems.
Oddly enough... I was going through the steps to do the install and when I performed the delete cache/dalvik, my sync started working again.
Nevermind, controls do work.
