Make sure you are trying the right version. I use an older version that uses like thm extensions or something.
To the post above, MM does work as I have used it many many times and use it now for rotary lock. But I do use an old version as stated. Not the newer and that seems to do the job.

Droidkevlar is correct. Metamorph updated and now requires the themes to include an xml file instead of the old thm file. Your zip files are probably formatted for the old program. I did run across a thread that linked to a program that updates them. They are also pretty easy to update manually. There was a video on YouTube on how to make the new xml file. Sorry, but I do not have any links atm.
--------------------------------

Since I am done watching Lost series finale, I can post the link for the old MM apk. This is what I used. Hope it works out for you.

If it doesnt, I can always upload the apk later when I have time. Now its time for bed time before work. Just let me know.

Now you do know that MM isnt supposed to work with our phones but if you use a Sprint ROM, like Aloysius, it will work. Which ROM are you trying? Which MM?

Re: A lil confused about meta

Aloysious v12. it worked with 1 file I had. Haven't tried others yet.

how could you use MM on leak? it needs to edit system files and im pretty sure you cannot do that without root. and last time i checked, leak doesnt have root yet.

Ah, thought you were using a leak, which doesnt have root. You are using one with root on it. That clears that up. And ya, I have noticed for the MM that I have used that worked, the ROM has to be deodex'd.

I have the exact same Kernel that u have in ur pic.....not sure why ....perhaps they got more than one leaked test version ...

Change log- not quite sure. Quite a bit for me coming from 2.1.
I had to go back and redo su.
I also had to uninstall rom manager, run bootstrap and then reinstall rom manager in orderto load the new tranquility rom by p3 via recovery.
I am not having any market problems.
I had to reinstall adobe flash after tranquility rom. Love having flash now.
Good times and enjoying it.

That's correct, kind of. Kernel and all can be updated through a correctly signed update.zip from Motorola not just an sbf. P3 and company have the full update. As in Kernel, system, the works. They aren't releasing it due to C&D worries, so we, the lowly, only get the new /system files. There definitely is a new kernel in that update, whether it contains any new changes that are worthwhile is a good question.

HOW TO: Sideloading with OTA 1.5.7 update

1) Flash the phone with the stock ULYFR_U4_1.2.6 SBF file
2) Obtain root and sideloading via aRoot
3) Update phone with the OTA OLYFR_U4_1.5.7
Once OLYFR_U4_1.5.7 is installed, you will NOT be rooted, but you will have sideloading. This should suffice for some users until root is achieved.
I personally think the OLYFR_U4_1.5.7 is worth losing root for a bit. In my own experience, the update has smoothed out the Atrix noticeably. Only time will tell.
If this helps anyone, please let me know.

My question is will the update still be there today if we flash back to 1.2.6 and reroot with aroot to get the update because I'd hate to not be able to get the update again. Like you stated, it seems to be more stable as well running a lot smoother.

I flashed back to 1.2.6 after upgrading and don't get it anymore (not even through "System updates" through Settings). So idk, wait til someone's able to extract it out of the update.zip or something I guess.
EDIT: Nvm, just tried it again and got the message (through Settings)

I got it a few times. Haven't needed to try again.

This is entirely unnecessary, as you can just install apps through adb still on 1.5.7.
Just run:
Code:
adb.exe install <package>.apk
Where <package> is the name of the app you want to install. Reflashing back to stock to install the apps is a waste of time.

You are absolutely right, if someone wants to use ADB.
Sideloading independent of a computer is important to me personally.

Amazon apps on beta update?
is there a way to sideload the apps from amazon appstore?

Haven't used Amazon. Does it have it's own installer or do you just download .apk files to you phone/sd card?

Either way, the Atrix 4g community is a thousand times better than the Sprint Epic 4g community I dealt with a month and some change ago. They hated themselves over there! We are off to a slow start, but maintain civility!

Not sure if you would receive the update via OTA with that. If you were to flash that SBF followed by aRoot, would you receive the update? If you can confirm anyone receiving the update on 1.5.2, then you SHOULD be golden.

I did the update. Lost root. But can still sideload.

Wrote a simple BAT file to automate to process a little...
Basically...
1) Extract the files to a directory and put the apk(s) that you wish to install/sideload in that same directory.
2) Connect your device and make sure usb debugging is enabled and all usb drivers are installed.
3) Drap and drop an APK file onto the BAT file, and it should install sucessfully onto your device. Command window will return "Sucess" if all goes well.
This is a really simple BAT file, i'm not all that great at coding or writing bat files, but I hope this helps some people. The devs might be able to write a better script. Hopefully someone will crack this update soon and figure out how to root!

Right on man! This will be great for folks when they are installing .apk files through ADB.

Just to let you know, I have downloaded and attempted to install the update twice.
Once, foolishly hoping I could just update R3Blur3d, and again from close to stock.
This last time, I attempted the update from within Clockwork Recovery, and it gave me some details, the automatic update didn't:
assert failed for the file /system/build.prop, rebuild.fingerprint.
To me, it looks like, if the /system/build.prop file is modified, then this OTA won't go through.
I'm going to make sure, I'm as close to stock as possible and try again!

You would have to flash these in stock recovery on a forever rooted stock phone. Don't use clockwork.

Very Interesting
Once my phone was set totally back to stock, my phone said that there is no update available. It still says that it will not install the update zip file I have due to a problem with the build.prop file.
Originally, I was running R3Blur3rd, which had system files based upon 5.5.893. So, I'm not sure what this update notification meant.

When you get this flashed, please post a screen shot of your about phone settings. The 5.5 file is much larger than 5.6. The 5.6 file has a new LTE radio and webtop app nothing more. So technically, you should receive both 5.5 & 5.6 OTA.
