Is the "uninstaller" you are speaking of be a script to return the phone back to where it was before GingerBlur with the backup?

My guess is that there will be an uninstaller that restores the device to stock. But, I will also create a backup-restore that allows you to restore your device to how it was PRE-GingerBlur.

installing as we speak. my first experience ever with an Android ROM :D cannot wait for RC so gonna try beta 5. in case i want to revert back to the original ROM, is there an easy way to do that?

Atrix aRooted, unlocked by code via cellunlock, pretty stock, hasn't mod anything besides root. will report the install status after done.

No uninstaller at the moment. But you can always freshly wipe your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991072

I was running motoblur before...I guess I have to redo all my home screens? I booted up and no icons are present except for google search. Swype beta is working, which is a good sign.

Of course it removes all of your widgets! It's a completely new home screen launcher! :cool:

MotoBlur widgets are mostly gone. If you want them... future versions will allow you to install them.

I might be completely wrong on this but currently the .bats are to install beta 5, beta 5 with webtop, or beta 5 with mirroring. But there isn't a .bat with beta 5, webtop, and mirroring all rolled into one? If this is the case I think adding that would make it that much more awesome. Or its already there and I'm stupid.

You're right. I checked into doing this. The problem is that the Webtop mod messes up the real laptop accessory (doesn't it?) and the HDMI mod too. So I have separate versions. Next versions will include the option of having all of them.

    Step-by-Step Directions for GingerBlur installation

    Prerequisites
    RSD Lite
    1.2.6 SBF
    Full battery for SBF flash is highly recommended if you don't want a brick
    Root v2
    Tenfar's CWM recovery
    Windows PC
    Drivers installed
    32-bit or 64-bit
    ​
    Outline​
    Part Zero - Download GingerBlur​

    1. Download the GingerBlur installation .zip from the GingerBlur website
    2. Mount your Atrix 4G via USB and put the GingerBlur installation .zip file on your external micro SD card
    Part One - SBF Flash 1.2.6​

    1. Download RSD Lite from the link above
    2. Install RSD Lite on your computer
    3. Unplug your device from USB
    4. Turn off your device
    5. Hold down the "Volume Up" button and the "Power" button while turning on your device until it says "Starting RSD protocol support"
    6. Run RSD Lite on your computer
    7. Press the ". . ." button next to the box labeled "Filename"
    8. Download the 1.2.6 SBF file and extract it from the .zip
      Password: atrixbl
    9. Load up the SBF file
      • The SBF file is located inside of the zipped file, you must extract it out before loading it into RSD Lite
      • Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the file on your computer
    10. Plug your device into your computer
      • Use the USB ports on the back side of your computer for safety
    11. RSD Lite should recognize your device and say “Model: NS Flash Olympus” and “Connected…”
    12. Press the “Start” button
    13. Be patient while the phone reboots. It will take a long time.
    14. Congratulations!
    Part Two - Root v2​

    1. Download Ririal's Root v2
    2. Extract the files to C:\retainroot. Do not install anywhere else.
    3. Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development)
    4. Connect your device to the USB port
    5. Set USB mode to "None"
    6. Run beforeupdate.bat
      (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking)
    7. Verify that there are no errors before updating
    8. Go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates
    9. Follow the on-screen instructions. First download the update (you will need a Wi-Fi connection for this), then it will prompt you to install.
    10. The update will reboot the device and install itself
    11. When it boots back up, verify USB debugging is still on (Settings -> Applications -> Development)
    12. Run afterupdate.bat
      (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking)
    13. Make sure you allow the superuser request (quickly) on your phone
    14. Now you're rooted on 1.5.7!
    Part Three - Tenfar's CWM Recovery​

    1. Download Tenfar's CWM Recovery
    2. Mount your device to USB
    3. Put the .apk on your device
    4. Unplug your device
    5. Navigate to the file explorer, install "MOTOA4_Bootstrap_0404_1549-signed.apk"
    6. When the installation completes, run the application
    7. Click "Install Recovery"
    8. Accept the Superuser request
    9. Click "Install Recovery" again for good measure
    10. After success, plug your Atrix 4G into the wall adapter
    11. Verify that your phone is charging from the wall
    12. Press "Recovery Boot"
    13. Your device will now slowly reboot into Tenfar's CWM Recovery
    14. Click “install zip from SDCARD”
    15. Choose zip from sdcard
    16. Pick the GingerBlur .zip
    17. Install it!
    What the heck?!

    • Blame Motorola for patching the root method so that we have to do all the retain root steps
    • Older versions of GingerBlur, MODs, etc. can mess things up... so we need to flash the SBF
    • Don't worry! There will be fewer steps for future updates. In the future, you'll just need to throw a brand new update .zip file on your SD card and flash it through recovery.

    GingerBlur v4
    - New framework-res with easy no error decompilation
    - Updated applications
    - Fixed sdcard mount sound disable
    - Added 3G/H distinction :)

    Sorry I could not fix the Root Explorer problem. Let's all cross our fingers and hope Gingerbread fixes it. I hope it does.

    I apologize for my absence from this thread. I've got a very busy week with school.

    Everyone should try and help each other out with their problems in this thread.

    I'm working on GingerBlur 4. It's not a feature-packed release, but it does have some important improvements that will allow themers and modders to create better products based off of GingerBlur. I'd also like to improve the text-on-battery MOD for better visibility and looks.
