I have a T-Mobile branded Motorola Charm (MB502) phone that I bought for my wife. It's a capable little device, but it's being slowed down to a crawl by MotoBLUR. I'd like to know if there is a way to remove all BLUR software, preferably by overwriting the firmware with a de-blurred version. It's been updated to the latest firmware and rooted via SuperOneClick. Here are the relevant details from the phone's "About" screen: > System Version: Blur_Version_2.3.9007.MB502.T-Mobile.en.US > Model number: MB502 > Baseband version: EPU93_U_03.3B.02 > Build number: BASIL_U3_03.90.7 I know of at least one de-blurred version that can be flashed with RDSlite, from and-developers.com . Unfortunately this version "BASEM_U3_01.12.4" doesn't work on T-Mobile Charm and (almost) bricks it after flashing, requiring a re-flash to the base T-Mobile sbf. Also, on xda-developers thread a dev managed to build a working version of Clockwork Recovery for the Charm. However, there are no ROMs available for it yet. So my question is this: For the lack of any 3rd-party ROMs, is there a way to safely remove all BLUR apps and references from Charm?

I recently bought a Motorola Charm with a Motoblur logo on it, but it doesn't appear to actually have Motoblur installed! There's no message widget, no Facebook update widget, no sign in for first use - nothing. Just a normal Android system. I am wondering what phone I actually have, and if I can update my phone with T-mobile's "Blur_Version.0.2.6005.MB502.T-Mobile.en.US" image.
