How to Install Gingerblur on your Rooted Motorola Atrix

This guide will assume that you have followed the previous two guides posted earlier on how to sideload apps and how to root your atrix.

Now that we have that out the way, let me just say that we at ReGiz are in no way responsible for anything negative that may happen during this process. It is a semi complicated process that may result in a soft brick if not done correctly.

There are a few prerequisites to installing gingerblur on your atrix. First off, you are going to need your phone to be rooted, have sideloading enabled through the Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine, and the most recent OTA update (4.1.83) .

The first step in this process is going to be downloading Moto A4 bootstrap recovery. What this will allow you to do is to run Gingerblur and install it. After downloading onto your computer, you will need to sideload the. Apk file onto your atrix. If done properly, it should show up as an app called system recovery on your atrix.

Next, you will need to download the. zip file off of XDA developers. You will then need to place the file on your internal storage where you can easily find it.

When the file is loaded onto your internal phone storage, open up the system recovery application and connect your phone to an AC power supply. After doing so, click install recovery. It will turn off and a screen with options will appear. Click select recover from internal SD card by scrolling down with the volume arrows and selecting with the power button. After selecting the correct file, scroll to install recovery. It will then boot gingerblur.

How to Sideload Apps- The Easy Way

One of the most persistent questions for those who have Android phone is how to sideload apps. Most carriers allow it, but America's second largest carrier, AT&T, does not, for whatever reason. Maybe you are a developer who needs to test your app, or an Android enthusiast who wants a non market app. Whatever your reason for sideloading, here are 4 easy steps to add non market apps to your AT&T android phone

1. Download Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine.


Yes, that is what it is really called. For the purposes of this article we will call it SLWM. After downloading (see link at end of article) run the installer. The installer will automatically put a link onto your desktop. Although there are other ways to enable sideloading, many of them require root access, which can be hard to obtain. SLWM is easy to use and works without a root.

2. Set your Android phone to enable USB Debugging.

You can find USB debugging under Settings>Applications>Development> USB Debugging. USB debugging MUST be turned on; otherwise you will not be able to sideload apps.

3. Download the APK file for the app you want to sideload.

Just do a Google search for the app that you want to sideload and download the APK file in a folder where you can easily find it.

4. Plug in your phone to the computer and run SLWM

Just run SLWM and follow the self explanatory instructions on how to install the file.

Now you have your non market app right on your phone. If anyone is having trouble, leave a comment, and I will try to the best of my ability to answer your question.
