I'm running LiquidSmooth v2.9, obviously rooted and unlocked BL.
I can't stand the stock email app on Android. No HTML sending formatting, no conversation view, etc. I loved the default email program before I loaded a custom ROM. Is there any way I can load the stock RAZR M blur email client back on the device, maybe even the defeat messaging app as well?
Thanks

you could try installing a stock rom and backing them up, then restoring them on the rom u want, or extract them form a stock rom and put them where they go.
you could try k9 mail, i got it form fdroid and love it. it's free and open source as well
You probably won't be able to use any blur apps on aosp Roms. The framework is totally different so if it even installed, it wouldn't boot.

I just got my droid x and have the latest update 2.2.1 Installed... I love blur but hate the bloated ware that's installed.... what's the best blur rom out? And what is blur 3.0 im hearing about

Stay Stock ROM. Root, overclock to about 1200. Enjoy a superfast phone that everything works on, nice and smooth, no chokes, no worries.
Can u point me to a stock rooted rom please....

Just use z4root to root your phone yourself. You don't need to install a pre-rooted rom.
I was the same way, I liked some of the Blur apps (without the sms I dont think you can resize video and send an mms, I like the shortcut contact icons) so I run Apex which is great. Runs smooth and fast. you can reinstall any of the removed blur apps by just running the apk in the removed apps zip file he has or by using the terminal emulator which is not the difficult to use once you read how to, so def try apex's rom (1.3.1)

On an aside...I tried overclocking and personally (after I clocked to 1.2 or something my phone went into constant reboots and was a PITA to somehow drop it down to 1ghz before it would freeze and reboot, but i didnt notice a huge difference while at 1.1) id just try the roms first...

to clear this up...rooting is a process that allows you to do "things" like install other roms and run some programs...same a sunblood...z4root is the one i use. Then you can try another rom and whatnot
I think he means just root & overclock if you like the blur. You can remove the boat easily after you root ( be sure to make a back up before you start modifying in case something goes wrong or you need to get back stock for an update). You can use Root explorer to rename the apps you don't want or titanium backup to freeze or delete them ( after you make a backup). Rubix blurry is a great custom rom, tranquility lets you add what blur you want back in.

Blur 3.0 is for the D2 (Droid 2) only right now. And I believe it's only a 2.2 ROM and not a 2.2.1 like our DX's. An updated Blur *might* land on the DX but since the D2 Blur update is on an older kernel, they would have to rework it for our device with a newer kernel...more time/effort/money possibly.

*WARNING* The leaked Gingerbread Radio, which is required for this rom, has been known to brick some Thunderbolts. Be sure you're aware of the risks of flashing this software by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1096104 *WARNING*
*NOTE* There is a new GB radio out now at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714 *NOTE*
Standard disclaimer:
While no Custom Rom can ever claim to be completely safe, and the very act of rooting your phone voids your warranty, I do my best to make sure that any Rom I release is fully tested. That said, if something does go wrong I am not responsible for loss of time/money/data/sanity/limbs/life that results directly or indirectly from the use of this Rom. Please enjoy responsibly.
This requires the leaked Gingerbread radio and a Gingerbread kernel, which can be found here:
Radio: http://www.multiupload.com/HU471CMQI0 (thanks Adrynalyn) Download this and rename it to PG05IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard, then reboot your phone to the bootloader and apply it.
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1086518 (Thanks Imoseyon) Download your choice of kernel from the SENSE GB section.
First I'd like to say thanks to Adrynalyn, ThatDudeButch and Trident for making most of the following patches easily available, and a huge thanks to JCase (TeamANDIRC) for the leak:
Features:
Wake on Volume (thanks TeamBAMF)
Netflix Support (thanks rmk)
Removed recent apps from pulldown (thanks rbox)
Power options (thanks ThatDudeButch)
AOSP Lockscreen
Deodexed, Rooted, Mostly stock framework.
Very clean Rom (149MB base vs ~300MB for most others)
This is a stock experience rom, with all the bloat (and most of the stock apps) removed. If you haven't used Blackhole before the idea is to start with an almost blank slate (except for the stuff that's too intertwined to remove, or provides basic functionality) and add only the things that you want.
What apps I left in are stock (Browser, Gmail, Calendar, Phone, etc.) plus a few "essentials" (Superuser and Rom Manager).
Updates will begin being available in Rom Manager on Wednesday following the public release of the Rom, but in the meantime if you have apps you need added please let me know and I'll make an update.zip for you that will add whatever you need. Enjoy! And be glad that unlike some developers I didn't have the urge to put "Ginger" in the Rom name, or else you'd have ended up with "BlackGinger" or "GingerHole" neither of which is very appealing...
Download:
Available via Rom Manager, so you can choose your options while downloading.
Screenies ?
Any chance of AOSP contacts/dialer, MMS, gallery, and browser? Going to give this a go when I get home tonight. Heck, might even flash it at work.
EDIT: Nevermind....just saw that almost all of this is already included. Awesome work! I'm downloading now and going to try it out.
IRS421: I'll post some up later the afternoon/evening
litso: Dialer/contacts and Browser are a work in progress. When I find/make one that works I'll add it to the options.
sorry if i missed the screen shot links...
please make them more blatant?
+1 for AOSP Contacts, please

Seeing as he links to the new radio in the OP I'm guessing it's probably ok. Still subject to the same issues people are experiencing on other ROMs though.
Thanks for the reply litso, I didn't have time to get on last night. Yes, both leaked radio's work the same with Blackhole as with any other GB leak Rom. I'm uploading some screenshots now as well, don't expect too much tho, it's a vanilla theme. For the screenshots I'm running Launcherpro.
I vote ya call it BlackGingerHole
Getting FCs from Google Music (the new one).
I chose to have it installed with the ROM, but this morning when I went to play a track, I got an FC. I rebooted, still FC. I ".bak'd" the .apk from /system/app and installed the Market version. Now I'm getting periodic FCs on the music process, and instant FC if I try to open the app.
Sync Music was added to my Google Account settings.
Ideas?

Thanks for the report, I'll see what's up.
Also I've got my screenshots sorted, they're up in the OP. Like I said, nothing special about how it looks....
I installed it also after a clean wipe and used sense launcher and now my launcher looks ****ed up. Rebooted to see if that would fix but no luck

I've duplicated the sense issue, though i'm not sure what the issue is at the moment. I've removed it from the list of options until I get it fixed. Thank you for the report.
So far i've been unable to duplicate the issue with google music, could you please provide me with a logcat of the crash? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I've tried flashing several boot animations from ROM Manger, but I always end up with the AOSP Android animation. Any idea's why this might happen?
Sure the battery have percentages in the status bar icon?
also, its there a way to get r rid of the quick settings on the dropdown and have the power mod toggles?

Moto X Kit By DroidScoop.net
This kit is a compilation of .apk files and wallpapers that will make your device function similar to the features found on the Moto X. We do not own the rights to any of these .apk's or wallpapers
Whats included:
Active Notifications .apk
Moto X Camera .apk
Moto X Gallery .apk
Twisty Launcher .apk
Sun Beam Live Wallpaper .apk
Moto X Wallpapers
Your device does not need to be rooted to use the following kit, but running an AOSP ROM provides a more intuitive interface.
Keep in mind the Moto X Camera as well as the gallery will not work on all devices. Most of the newer Motorola devices are compatible as well as many of the Samsung Galaxy phones. If issues arise use titanium backup to freeze the stock camera .apk
Also...
Active Notifications and twisty launcher must be configured to work as desired.
Download found at this Dev Host URL: d-h.st/FD1
Do Not Flash From Recovery
To install unzip the file and manually download the .apk files

Unzipped and individually installed I apologize for not specifying that. The zip file I initially prepared was going to be an add on that could be flashed through a recovery, but I was getting too many errors and force closes. Also this allows for more devices to become compatible. Rooted or not.
I'm getting a parsing error trying to install the active notifications apk on my gs4. Im running a custom rom on 4.2.2
Edit: I'm pretty sure it's because active notifications only works on 4.3 phones. I remember this app came out not too long ago and you needed to have 4.3

I'm running illusion ROM 4.2.2 on a GS3 and I have yet to have an issue. I also have successfully used active notifications on a Nexus 4 on 4.3 as well as a HTC droid incredible on Gingerbread.
Try downloading the APK directly from the Play Store if the file is not working.
I think the apk in the zip file may be an older version of the active notifications app. I downloaded from the playstote when I learned it now works with 4.0+ and it works fine now. I just wanted some way to have active notifications

Try downloading the .apk from the Playstore and let me know how that works; Also what type of device are you using and what OS version. I have gotten this to work on a couple of rooted devices on ICS and Gingerbread but I have noticed that many devices not running 4.0+ are running into problems.

We just flashed stock TW on our Note II and we're getting the same error. So the only fix I'm seeing for this device is to flash an AOSP based ROM

Yeah, I think I am not really willing to root my device at this time. Thanks for the help though. If you find a fix besides the AOSP ROM of my choice, let me know via private message. Thanks, but outside of the Active Notifications, I enjoyed the wallpapers. I hope the Motorola apps will work on all devices.

Hey all--please bear w me as I've been busy with work all year and have not been able to get back on xda since "Jellybean days". Now I've flashed a KK rom & I'm really not digging Hangouts as my default SMS app, so I'm nandroiding back to 4.3
Question: Is there any way I can use 7-zip to put mms.apk into my rom zip before flashing it? Can I set mms.apk as my default messaging app that way? This is the only thing keeping me from upgrading to 4.4 currently so I'd appreciate the info

You can change your default messaging app by going to settings>more>default SMS app. Kitkat for the N4 comes with a water downed version of the previous messaging app. You can install a different one and set it as default as long as it has the proper permissions to run on Kitkat.

Just like the thread stated. Or is there another apk that is is TW based that somewhat resembles ... I absolutely hate the stock tw phone dialer. Is it possible to install a AOSP phone apk on the note 3 tw rom? I have tried several different times with another roms apk's and it is always a fail.
What I ended up trying was taking the phone and contacts apk from eclipse rom and froze both of them in Ti backup and then installed them (fail). I also uninstalled both of them and installed the others (again fail). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Any reason why you don't want to just run eclipse rom?
