1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. Link in OP.
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!

Edit: alternatively, you can adb push the file to /system/app. Will yield the same result.

You should make a topic about this in the Steel Droid Section, so it doesn't get lost in this thread.

Just thought I would post this link to speed the process up for some: BlurEmail - Minus.com

any ideas as to why my phone won't show up in rsdlite? i followed the steps so far, and my phone says usb connected, and the computer recognizes it, but i won't show up in rsdlite. do i need some other kind of drivers for this to work? chevy didn't say anything about in the directions. thanks in advance for your help!

Has anyone noticed any difference in battery usage with Steel Droid 2.0, charge meter bugs notwithstanding?

Go to settings > applications > development > and make sure usb debugging is checked.

you mean it dies faster?

Well, yes. A whole lot faster.

 

[Yonnor]

Well, yes. A whole lot faster.

I've had no issues with battery, I get through all day about 40-50% still left. I have the extended battery though. Maybe I'll boot up the Standard Battery tomorrow and give it a run.

alrighty, just got it installed. looks great! love the black status bar and the new charging animation! any chance of getting a stock gingerbread theme? without the blur-y stuff?

I mean browsing for an hour via wifi takes me from 100% to 60%, where with stock it would take me to 80%. That's a big show-stopper for me. Drain is normal if the phone is just sitting around, even if it's not sleeping, but as soon as I use it, it just burns through the battery.

I txt all day, browse the web over 3G and usual teenager/college student things. I'll do a full charge and clear battery stats and get back to you tomorrow. My stats will be skewed though b/c I'll be at work and it's a major deadzone.

I had a similar issue and read somewhere that you need to unselect then reselect the usb debugging option after rebooting...anyone know if that is actually true or why this fixes it?

I do know that doing this fixes the lack of adb connectivity 100% of the time without changing from mass storage mode for me.
