I would love to see how this works for you. Not much on here about deblurring.

Man I would love a deblurred version cuz the lack of internal memory on this phone is driving me crazy!!
Any update??
sorry, just had a baby boy so a little distracted from posting. here it is just replace original build.prop with this one, then do a factory reset and you will have a deblur version.
Hmm think i'll try this out for a while til my upgrade. Do i unzip it...replace it where? in the system folder? and then just factory reset??
Unzip the downloaded file (will contain build.prop)
Get a file explorer (like es file explorer) and go to setting and select the root explorer
Explore into "system" folder, and create a backup of the existing build.prop file (to your memory card)
Replace it with the unzipped build.pop download.
Factory restore and you're done! If you don't like, just copy the backup build.prop file and overwrite, factory reset and you're back Blurred!
one question though...how does one transfer all blurr contacts to gmail? Tried this file on my wife's phone and could only restore gmail contacts...
Yea got it to work...deblur is much appreciated....phone is way more manageable and I can actually download apps again!
are there any differences in this file other than the addition of the line
Code:
ro.mot.deblur=true
??
Edit:
Found the answer, good work. Only issue I had was the one time init was black text on black background.

This is a pain in the ass. Go to each and every contact, unlink them then delete the blur contact so you're only left with the gmail contact. Then go to your accounts and sync gmail contacts so they are all synced to google. Turn off sync to blur if possible (sorry its been a while doing this cuz I got an atrix that allows me to choose where I want contacts saved). This should solve that.

Thanks for bricking my phone. Now it gets stuck at the AT&T picture because it has no launcher.

The method posted works just fine, if you're stuck at the boot animation, reflash from the sbf and try again, it's certainly not bricked.
It didnt brick it.
I reinstalled the stock froyo. Works fine. Thanks. I had accidentally uninstalled the blurhome.sys or whatever.
this build.prop overclocked the terminal?

Don't know about that but it might be because when I used this tweak, my device would reboot every 5 minutes or so. Flashed back to stock froyo and hasn't had a reboot since
is it like all aosp apps when you use this

Nope.. If I remember correctly, it disables having to log into a blur account, and disables the home launcher (causing the screen to be black). Probably a few other small things..
To avoid the black screen, you can copy an apk of another launcher (launcher pro, adw, go launcher, etc) to /system/app/
Been awhile since I did this, so I may be missing something
Hey guys I am having trouble deleting the stock bookmarks off of the stock browser. I have tried long pressing the bookmarks and hitting delete on the context menu and i get a toast message that says: "This bookmark cannot be deleted", thanks in advance guys.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
download a different browser and delete them through that browsre and you should be good
I figured it out. I downloaded Bookmark SB and allowed me to remove the stock bookmarks. Thank you for the help though.

You can also use kies air to delete the stock bookmarks.

I used Slinky1914's method and downloaded "Bookmark Sort & Backup" from the Play store (got the free version). Worked great and you can obviously reorder your bookmarks. Got rid of the stock AT&T Bookmarks (which remained after I switched to ClearROM).
I saw another post where someone said they used Kies to delete the stock bookmarks, I looked and looked but could not find anything in Kies that would let me do anything but backup and restore network setting (which includes, among other things, bookmarks).
Maybe someone who has used the Kies method could explain a little how they did it, otherwise Bookmark Sort & Backup is a quick and easy fix also.

Is it possible for me to customize my launcher however I want and place the apk into a rom or theme and once flashed and installed my launcher would already be exactly as I always had it?
I'm not trying to back it up and restore it. What I'm really trying to do is get go launcher the way I customize and set all my widgets, apps, and short cuts into a .zip and once its flashed and the app installs it autimatically comes the way I already had it with no need to restore any kind of data.

I doubt it... that requires backing up the desktop configuration. Also... go launcher is CIQ renamed YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
No. That info is stored in the data partition, not with the app.

or you could make a backup of it in titanium and restore it every time.
EDIT: ignore this. I just read the op thoroughly

I understand what you're saying, as I do a similar thing with my roms. What I do is simply copy in the data with the launcher apk. However, widgets never restore properly. One could modify a launcher to change the defaults, but I couldn't tell you where to begin.

Ya I kind of figured it would be possible since different launchers have a different "stock" setting that they set the home screen so I wanted to see if it was possible to edit that "stock" into whatever I want. But it may be a little bit too much to do. I may think about it later, but not for now. Thanks though.

What's CIQ? Is that like an ATRAC? I think I heard about that in a museum.
Such old news. Only a few months ago but yet it seems to have faded completely.
We should go back to using those KnowCIQ banners. To prevent that kind of thing in the future. Though I don't really care.
So.... The Chinese have all my top secret data?
So, suprising no one has tried to remove it, rewrite one without it, or just blatantly expose the code. Probably could make some headlines considering how widely used GoLauncher is. I hear and see people talk about it but I've only seen references. (the again, never really researched it other than Google.... <- - - THE WORLDS LARGEST CIQ?)

OK guys thus is how you get it free go to the market download the trial version.
Then open it
Go to preferences
Then to about full version
Then tap activate (it will be grayed out)
When the option to activate opens
Then type nextlauncher3d in the account field
Then type appoftheday in the code box
Then press activate
Profit
Normally its 16 for the app but free today. I found this on android police and it works

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the heads up!
Worked perfectly for me too...question thot, don't know if u know, what about if we uninstall it or maybe someone replaces their phone, will they then have to pay for it that time or does it get linked to our gmail account for the $16 version?
I did a backup with Titanium just in case. I thinking that if you uninstall, you'll lose your activation if you install again later. It's possible it might work again on the same device, but I'm fairly confident switching devices will not carry the activation of premium features forward.
I spend too much damn money on launchers. I bought this for full price, Nova prime, apex and recently action Launcher. Killing me, lol.

OK, so just to start, I'm still new to rooting, adb, roms, and all this fun stuff. I rooted my Nexus 5 six months ago because I got bored and just finished rooting my Ouya and putting cm11 on it. I'm not the greatest at this, but I can follow a good tutorial. Which is why, up until now, I've had little to no problems.
My wife has an LG G2 with my super awesome service provider, Sprint... Sprint wants to charge me $150 for this repair. I know it does not cost that much, and my wife does not want to give up her phone.
I'm sure you are all familiar with this problem. There is a section of the screen, about the shape and size of a search box in the top half of the screen, that since the last update, does not function properly, and *knock on* no longer works. I read all over the web, to access the hidden menu by dialing 5689#*980# . Which I did. But there is no option for touch screen test, or update touch screen firmware. LG is no help. Sprint is no help. XDA is my only option. Don't fail me guys and gals.
Oh, and my wife WILL NOT let me root her phone. She has a fully stock LG G2 for Sprint, and after this will hopefully have a fully functional LG G2.
Without root, you won't be able to replace the hidden menu with the Verizon one that does have the proper section to fix that. You may be able to root try the fix and unroot. This way she doesn't know.

Can you believe, after reading this, I thought hmmm, run it by her. I'd have to unlock the bootloader wouldn't I? And unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. Can't really hide a brand new used phone from her.
I'd have used towelroot while the exploit was still available but alas, the problem wasn't here while towelroot was an option, but with a patch, came a hole.

OK, so I am a fool. I looked up the root method. I never bother before because she had always said "NO!" No matter how much I begged. So using Stump Root, does that reset the device? I feel like a real butt right now.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Lol, she caved. I used stump, and hey, nothing deleted. So her phone is now rooted (surprisingly easy to get her to cave), I download the hiddenmenu.APK and moved it over to the app folder and ran the required adb command in terminal emulator. It did its duty. Nothing changed. When I access the hidden menu, its still the sprint one. Help?

Good news, got it to work. Here is what you need to do.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001613264
Here is the hidden menu I used.
From play store grab root browser.
Use it to go to system/app directory. Find hiddenmenu.apk and the .Odex file.
Rename both of the files by putting a 1 at the end. This way you don't lose the original. Now paste the file which is above in the same directory.
Fix permissions to read, write, read, read.
It will look like this.
Rw
R
R
Save.
Reboot, system upgrading.
Phone, dial 5689#*980#
Go to hw device test
Touch test
Bottom of menu will be touch firmware upgrade
