"You may know me from my Rubik releases for the droid 1.. Well recently I purchased a Droid X. I couldn't stand the phone stock, so of course I got busy. I've been working on this for quite a while, gone through quite a bit of bricks, sbf flashes, and passing it to my testers cause I couldn't afford to brick at the time.
I bring you the first release of the rubiX series for the Droid X. rubiX Focused, It is a blurless rom
Tranquility 2.3.5 base (2.2.3.15 base) thanks to p3droid, motorola (hah) and google
Build.Prop tweaks (thanks to Beesley)
Market fix
All apps optimized/zipaligned (Credit to me)
ADW Launcher as stock launcher (No more laggy blur home!)
Bloatware removed (Credit to me)
135.42 MB free in System! Speedy (Credit to me)
Google market apps removed (download from market)
Auto Brightness Hack (credit to Pete)
Speed and battery tweaks (Credit to me. Thanks Nenolod and Pete for inspiration on sysctl tweaks)
Few more things that I'd like to keep secret for the time being "
Are all of the Motorola account management crap gone?

Yes. Accounts managed through settings. The brightness patch for stock brightness and the calendar fix are also in the 1st post now so you don't have to search through the thread
Thanks for posting this, FSR. Can't post links yet
Installed for 12 hours and still running great.
I appreciate your work.

Hmmm, well if I am gonna have to wipe for this I may as well SBF back and get the official OTA.
Seems pretty decent so far. My linpak and quadrant scores are even with what I was getting with the OTA after getting rid of some bloat. Calendar fix hasn't fixed my sync issue yet. Any idea why when I post my scores to linpak my notes show build 2.2.20? I'm not familiar with that particular version. Phone info shows 2.3.15 as it should but this is obviously not built off the official 2.2 as I've notice certain things change back to leak versions.
I'll give this rom a few days but I'm probably heading back to the OTA.
Can someone share the stock backup assistant apk with me? I'm lazy enough that I was just using that instead of a3rd party app so now I'm missing a HUGE chunk of my contacts. If it can't be used on this rom I'm doingan sbf right away when I get home.

Let me know how it goes for you
Although, I'm a little concerned about losing the ability to SBF back to 2.1 ... really on the fence about this.

Why would you want the OTA? There is nothing magical about it, except Moto decided to lock the system down some more with new Bootloader keys.
Check out the threads around the forums, everyone is enjoying RubiX.

There is in fact a difference. Newer Baseband and New Kernel which results in better performance. These two objects were left out of the leak for fear of it leading back to the leaker.

Lol...not trying to be rude or start drama...im just curious before download something ...I always wanna know.the source.
and when I click on the download link, I noticed the download is coming from ninebysix.com, which is jake days website.
Flashed it. It's pretty damn fast. Perhaps this is Jake's reconciliation.
Fast is true and easy to install when following directions. The one thing that is strange and wondering if anyone else is experiencing.
I keep getting FC when trying to access my calendar. Yes I am trying to access my google calendars with default calendar program and even Jorte.
Anyone else?
Perhaps ideas for me?

Happened to me...flash the rom zip following the instructions. Reboot the phone. Then bootstrap and reboot back into recovery and flash the calendarfix zip from page 7 of this thread: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-roms/8428-rom-rubix-focused-0-3-a-7.html
I had this instaled but could'nt get google maps to work so I went back to flyx rom. The market is stuck downloading google maps I hit cancel and it has force closed
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I also had some FC problems. It FC's everytime you try to stop a download in the market. It FC's every time you click on the battery manager to see what's sucking juice and it FC'd when messing around with the Calendar.
Because of those reasons, plus not being any faster than I had gotten my OTA after bloatware removal and some build.prop tweaks, not being able to use Backup Assistant (losing 80% of my contacts) and the fact that I actually like the native 2.2 txt app led me back to my OTA 2.2 through the nandroid backup I made before installing rubiX.
This is one I will definitely keep an eye on and will be testing in further revisions, but it's not where I want a rom to be right now.
I appreciate all the hard work that went into it but it's just not for me right now.

I'm Derek Rodriguez (thats my full name), and have honestly barely conversed with jake. He was nice enough to let me host my files through his ftp alongside with Boostdscoob (dominator/eliminator roms for d1) when we were collaborating for roms, and still lets me. Jake is a great guy from what I know of him, and makes pretty bad ass kernels.
It's hosted there, as well as alldroid, and androiddoes.net.
arlan_jacob, a reboot might of fixed it. I chose not to include market apps with how fast updates have been coming out lately, didn't wanna leave any behind and people not able to update correctly. Sorry about the issue, I'll make an update.zip with the market apps included if it'd help out.

Anyone know what happened to weatherbug? I was re-installing some apps and cannot find Weatherbug. It was an app that I actually made use of on a day to day basis.
Sometimes apps leave the market for various reasons, either the author no longer wished to distribute the app [in that manner], or it in some way violated or was perceived to violate the google TOS. Because of this, if you are planning to wipe your phone, it is a good idea to make a backup of all apps you don't want to lose.

Found it odd that it would be removed after having an update just last month. I had done a backup using nandbackup as well as using the one that is built into Astro. I'm at work and the backups are at home, moved them off the SD to my computer. Was hoping to get it installed after updating to the newest JF build.
Maybe they're just prepping a new version compatible with the 1.5 release?
Their site doesn't seem to indicate that they've taken it offline:
http://weather.weatherbug.com/mobile/android.html
I didn't realize there was a recent update - I would've grabbed it. I'm on 1.0.498.

I would think they would keep the original version for those that have not upgraded and release a 1.5 update separate. I did not have a problem running it on the Haykuro 1.5 version I installed prior to updating to the JF/LucidREM update.
ok..ok..I am not crazy then
I tried to look for it yesterday and I guess it was all in vain. I do hope if comes back. It worked ok for me on the 1.5 versions.
It worked for me on Haykuro's 1.5HR3 as well, but remember - these guys are doing testing against the official releases, and they're probably testing in a lot more depth than we are. Could be they found something, and decided to push out one app that's compatible with both 1.1 and 1.5.
Just a hunch. I'm thinking if they willingly removed Weatherbug from the market they'd have removed that page from their website as well.
They released weatherbug elite on the iphone so maybe they're getting ready for this on android. the elite is 99 cents tho
ok
I want
Weather bug....the loon misses ya!
I will pay.
I ran Weatherbug earlier today (I use it almost everyday) and the ad banner at the top was about Weatherbug Elite. I'm guessing they pulled the free app, which is beta (I believe), so that we can all pay for the Elite version. Yay!... not.
Well, I hope that means they will take off the ad banner. It was a little annoying.
Can someone post the .apk for those who don't have (and want) Weatherbug (beta)?
yes i really want this please!

It worked for me too, but as soon as I would power on the phone I would get a force close from WeatherBug (without opening the app). After that, everything runs smoothly.
So, not like it's a huge inconvenience, but maybe that will be addressed.
Weatherbug was in BETA release. I looked on the market and the BETA has been removed but there is a free version there which works just fine on JFv1.5
Hell yeah.
Works nicely on jf 1.5
Never knew how much I would miss those #'s in th top left
"Sigh"
I'm good...I'm good!
I just want to spank them and tell them to never leave me again
I don't see anything that would indicate a paid-for version - just looks like regular ole' WB to me.
Is it 1.0.774 that you guys got as well?
Team Black Hat has released an app in Market with a new Tranquility and a Deodexed updated Froyo. You can download such as Rom Manager from within the app.

Oooooh a new leak! Let us know if you notice anything new.
Ok, Froyo 2.3.15 and Tranquility 2.3.5rc installed smoothly, but when I tried applying Onix Gala X theme from ROM Manager, I got stuck at the M logo. Battery pull solved the issue. So I'll try applying the theme manually.
I haven't noticed anything new so far from the short time I spent browsing around the phone. I'm dying to see the change logs lol!
Edit: manually installing Gala X theme worked =)
Edit2: I'm not sure if it was true for 2.3.13, but in this one Flash shows up in the Market.
In the market for 2.3.13 too, noticed it today .

You are paying for an app. Cool idea in my opinion.
You are also paying for access to mods. Not unheard of.(supporting is good)
Lots of hype for access to something no one else has.
Using the hype to, in a way, make people donate for your work that is kind of iffy. I like what those guys are trying to do but I do not like how they are doing it. I just can't quite hit on the point I am trying to make but I feel something scetchy is going on here. Thus, I go back to... Paying for an app that creates access to what they are making. Cool idea in my opinion.
God I hope I don't get flamed to hard for this.... Trying hard not to be a Debbie Downer.
Those that are satisfied with the Tranquility roms will likely donate. Although I do believe the leak itself should be available to the general public.

Dude I understand you have your opinion, but if you don't want to support, then you may just have to wait for someone else to find a leak source in one of the MOST locked down firmware arenas for android, TBH is doing an amazing job! THREE 2.2 updates before motosuck released its first!? They deserve the two bucks for the app. Mind you this is coming from a person who has only purchased one app for his droid x; the one we are talking about. Besides with all the C&D motosuck has been throwing around this is a resonable alternative to insure we get the content we want. OH! And not to mention tranquility is one of the best alternatives to motoblur out right now, $2 seems like a VERY small price to pay for no hassle dl's and quick update potential. Thank you again Team Black Hat for all the hard work! I see kernel's in the near future.... Wahoo!

So instead of charging for something that might possibly be construed as _his_ work, he's really just charging for Motorola's software that he paid someone to steal from them. Classy move.
I'm not sure why it hasn't been mentioned on XDA yet, but TQ 3.0 has been released:

This is supposed to be a blurless rom, correct? I loaded it last night, and def still has blur in it.... When I get home I'll have to see if it actually deodexed like it promised. Even Contacts are still blur...
I will say that it's FAST though..

All of the current ROMS have *some* level of Blur. Since we cannot bypass the Moto Kernel, there are some levels of base code that just have to be there.
Tranquility, Apex, zapX, and Rubix 0.5 were all built on the 2.3.15 release and then removed as much of the blur components as they could and still have it function.
Fission & Rubix 1.0 built from a base that came out of the Droid2 SDK which appears to be very stock Android and therefore, they are a little more 'blur-less' than others. Which is both good and bad. Time is showing that some of the blur components have some nice functionality that people are missing when they go completely blur-less.

This is absolutely true and was the same for the D1 except it wasn't Blur, but you can't build AOSP for D1 either without using the extract-files.sh to pull all of the proprietary components that make the phone work.
It's a basic truth about phone firmware.

Its running pretty damn good for me. And since I have Tasker set up to sync my data every 30 mins, my battery life is great also. I'd imagine it would be even better if I set it to sync every 45 or 60 mins.

So far, I've had like maybe one or two glitches.... sometimes after a reboot the boot screen gets left on the lock screen, so you can still unlock your phone, but you have to guess where the sliders are.
another is that the calendar widget doesn't work.
Other then those two, the rom is FAST, stable, and battery life has been great. Worth it to me in my opinion... It's not an ASOP "experience" though... it's more like a hybrid.
Like it so far though, it's my daily driver.
Edit: Also, this applies to STOCK people (running the 2.2 OTA).... I was odexed, completely stock..... installed this rom with ease: no wiping, no formatting, nada. AND it deodexed my phone for me.... LOVE THAT.

I had to wipe my phone to get it to work. Last time I tried when I booted every system app was force closing. I feel like this is a little slower than rubix but way faster then stock. Could be too the drawer just doesn't feel right. Too bouncy for me to use quickly. Ill probably go to pro launcher. But if I don't want to how do I customize the 4 apps at the bottom? Its driving me nuts

Update #4: I previously thought Motorola would OTA to 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3 now that I'm seeing 2.3.4 builds. But, it looks like my initial projections were probably right. We'll be looking at 2.3.3 for the Atrix on OTA. Then, there will be a separate update to 2.3.4.
I was recently updated to a newer build: 4.5.47. This build was finalized on 05/24/2011 04:46:02. We've got a month more of builds already, which means the Atrix Gingerbread update should be nearing completion.
Read more about the Atrix Gingerbread update in July here: http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-headed-for-july-gingerbread-update
Update #3: Some more video showing the new Blur interface in action. http://briefmobile.com/motorola-blur-on-atrix-with-gingerbread
Update #2: Netflix works flawlessly on the Atrix with Gingerbread! Check it out: http://briefmobile.com/netflix-on-the-motorola-atrix-gingerbread
Update: Looking into three new root possibilities. Progress communication may be limited for certain reasons. Also, I posted new pictures on Facebook.
Here's a preview of Android 2.3.3 for the Atrix 4G!
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-gingerbread-android-2-3
Details
Code:
Android 2.3.3
Webtop: wt-1.2.0-76_OLY-1
Build: 4.5.40
A nice guy gave me this to see if we can get root and such. He requested that no one have access to the files, and I'll be keeping my promises. Sorry, guys!
Anyways, we can test out root exploits. All of the traditional ones seem blocked, including Gingerbreak. I haven't tried beforeupdate/afterupdate yet. I'll be trying that later.
too good to be true! haha!
Thanks Kenneth!
Just saw this on your website! Very exciting! I can't believe they managed to break gingerbreak on it though. Typical Moto. Is it an update or an SBF that you have?
EDIT: Someone brought this up on IRC. What about webtop?
I was given a service file that doesn't wipe data when it updates. I was pretty sad when I saw that Gingerbreak was borked.
Hope this comes soon. However i won't update anyways. Not unless you can flash back to 1.26.
no disrespect but we all knew it was coming....now a real surprize would be a download link

Fair enough. Can't give that to you. I'm sure a beta program through Moto will be announced soon. Then everyone can get their hands dirty.
Wow, this version of blur actually looks pretty good
Hey Ken. Any idea on when it will be available for non att users? (i.e Bell, Testra)

I do worry about something though. Everytime I have flashed an SBF file my phone goes back to stock and I have to go through motoblur account setup and all that again.
However, with 1.83 when I flashed the sbf, it didn't really go back to stock. In fact, my fingerprint, go launcher settings, wall paper etc were all still the same.
Did this mean the flashing process didn't work alright?
I ask b/c i wouldn't want to miss a FOTA update of gingerbead.
Finally
Looks dope ! Can't wait

No. There are two kinds of SBF files. Service SBF files and regular ones. "Service" ones don't wipe the data partition on your device. You're fine!

Hopefully Gingerbread comes out roughly the same time for users on all carriers. We'll see, though. I wouldn't get my hopes up for a simultaneous update.

Kennethpenn: Please do be careful. It would be a bummer if you found a small tweak to gain root, which your nice friend relayed to the big M. You know this, of course.
Thank you for having the class to not simply leak the files. Restores some of my faith in XDA! ;-)

Best news I heard in a long while!
Any chance of benchmarking this sucker?
Looks great! Kinda wish it came with the stock Gbread keyboard though...Oh well, can't hurt to try out an updated Moto keyboard
Kenn, as far as you can tell are we finally able to customize the double-tap home feature, or is Moto still making us use their select apps?
i can't connect to anything on the domain briefmobile.com? lol fail

Still limited to about ten. Looks like a longer list, though. And, you can now select "none."

Fair enough. The 'none' feature is actually all I really need. The app quickdesk could probably work with the double tap now if none is selected on the Motoblur end. Thanks!
INSERT USUAL DISCLAIMER HERE. I THINK (HOPE) YOU ALL KNOW THE RISKS BY NOW. Blah blah brick, blah blah not my fault, you know.
Well, using Willis111's Canadian Bell 2.3.6 build from here, somemadcaaant, ZOMBI3, and I have been slowly patching this up to work on the XT862.
I've made up a stock (tweaked for VZW) 2.3.6 ROM and a lightly debloated one as well. Both have the same build.prop tweaks for battery life, the usual wifi scan, as well as the camera video modes tweak, plus some other stuff tacked onto the end of the build.prop.
What we changed was the build.prop (IIRC, I used a Liberty3 one that I touched up to my liking), eri.xml inside framework_res.apk, and libmoto_ril.so to get this up and running on the XT862. Since, I have added in 5.7.905 system apps to get some things running (MMS messaging mainly).
I have flashed these without a wipe (over SD 4.5 I think) and it seems to be fine, although I've only had it running maybe an hour now, so I can't attest to battery life. It may be fine without a wipe, it may be better with it. IDK.
One note for HandCent users, go into HC, menu> settings> application settings> default messaging application> all(sms & mms). This should fix double texts.
NOT WORKING:
It seems the first boot bootloops. Just battery pull and restart. It should boot. I'm running this debloated build exactly.
My stock camera FCs when entering panoramic mode. 3rd party apps such as ProCapture still work. This will be addressed after I get 1% battery and power menu buttons added (Thanks to BuckMarble!)
Here's the links to my DropBox.

1% Mod Still getting reboots, experimental only
Dark Theme (incomplete theming, WIP)
Hopeful goals...
Working 1% Mod
Dark (WIP) & light theme
Power button reboot options
Pulldown power widgets
Pulldown music controls??
...and, I know how to do none of those. Anyone wanna do it or teach/guide me though it?
Oh boy! I can teach the reboot and 1% stuff(gotta dig up the code for this one, been a while) I've recently become quite the android.policy master. Lol. As for the messaging stuff, im not sure where to go with that one.
EDIT: noticed quite a few com files missing from the framework folder that our xt862 uses. Compare an xt862 vzw rom to this one and try patching in the missing ones and see if that helps with the messaging. In system/framework.

Touched up the /system/framework folder with the missing files. If it isn't apparent already, I'm pretty new to this and really don't have too much of an idea of what I'm doing. Oh well, gotta learn somehow!
EDIT: Well, this didn't fix MMS, but it couldn't have hurt. Also, I've been getting some FCs from conversations.apk when receiving a text. I'll look into it tomorrow and keep working at this.

Nice work,
@jchenny i'd prefer a bloated version to go nuts on anyways.
Definately deserves it's own thread to be sure, you will have reboot/screenshot power menu functions plus power widgets and whatever else is needed on the weekend unless some1 else wants to get it done? Looking at you buckmarble and ZOMBI3, i'm using my phone for oncall work this week.
Again awesome release, can't wait to try it.
Edit: Grab my giant APN list apns-conf.zip from my sig link below and see if that fixes mms, most providers have been added manually... could simply be the conversations app not working correctly with the cdma buildprop commands changed and/or rot.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1, swap out with the vzw versions of conversations.apk, mms.apk, messaging.apk, might also have to swap out the bluremail.apk, bluremailengine.apk and blursnmessagingengine.apok or perhaps use the aosp versions?
Could it be a google restoring settings thing, always gives me grief when i forget this after flashing lol.

I can get the power menu/widgets/etc stuff in. Would rather teach red how to do it though. Expand the knowledge base of the new developers. I like to give back what I've learned so that at some point we can all help each other. Hopefully your apn stuff fixes the mms problem he's got.

Debloated is back up. I think all I changed was removing Blur Car Dock and adding in my preferred Google Car Dock. I believe I left the Blur Multimedia Dock intact.

I would like to learn this rather than just having it done as well. I'd like to further my knowledge on this kind of modding (do I dare call it dev, I feel like I haven't done much really) stuff.
@SMC, where is that APN list in your sig?
As I play with this, I'm going to try tossing together a build for myself (and others?) to test with 5.7.905 deodexed system apps from ZOMBI3's .zip. Also, Hash has a deodexed 5.6.890 build on his blog right? I'm blocked here on the school network.
Red, shoot me a pm with your email for gtalk.

True true, pardon my eagerness guys.
You will find the apn list on the top link in my signature, will be at the bottom of the page with the files.
I suspect you will have all the kinks out by the weekend, just in time for me to flash lol.

Well, I patched up the APN file and that didn't fix it, but it did add "Verizon Wireless" to the status bar...time to revert or fix that. Hmm. Adding back the old APN file didn't fix it up.
FIXED: Hex edited some null entries into eri.xml.

I can't seem to download the debloated version. Dropbox gives me a 404.

I believe I have the freshest build on my DropBox. IIRC, I removed messaging.apk and dropped in mms.apk and that enabled MMS messaging. For my purposes, it's a fully working build. I haven't had any errors. Keep me updated if you hit any.
I think I'm going to start adding a time stamp to my .zips, I can't keep them straight. (Now I've added date and time stamps to preserve my sanity, or what remains.)
Oh yea! This is getting themed! I taught myself UOT Kitchen (it's so easy) and applied a META-INF workaround listed on their site to fix a flashing error and it's looking great. And is it just me, or does this boot quickly? Maybe I don't pay attention...
New links in OP.
Nice very good job theme, and one percent awesome already, haven't tried it though, I got stuck on after the safe boot menu something went wrong no big deal tho ill check it out keep it up though I wanna see that reboot and screenshot from you soon way to go ! Congrats

Nice work, its all done lol.
I remember having media player control status widgets, or what ever its called, on my old LG optimus 2x and I liked it, very convenient - maybe we can port that over or use code, like adding the controls to the far right as you scroll thru.
If that's makes sense.
Definitely lots of performance tweaks in there for boot, memory and gui speed.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
I definitely want to implement more tweaks for battery life, speed, etc. Also, the 1% mod wasn't playing nicely with services.jar and causing reboots, so I marked that as experimental. I'm talking to BuckMarble on GTalk and he's helping me do this since my current knowledge is minimal in comparison.
EDIT: I'll be trying this later...
