yes Blur is the motorola User interface. all the widgets, all the menu's that is software that they put on top of android software.

The dialer is a bad example, there isnt really any blur in dialer, the widgets, launcher is a better concept of blur. Compare default widgets and launcher with LLP or ADW Launchers, the look is the difference and compatibilities.

I guess that one way of looking at it, a better way of looking at it as Motorola version of HTC Sense. HTC has Sense, Samsung has TouchWiz UI and Motorola has Blur

google creates the "vanilla android" software. by vanilla I mean base, plain jane code developed around ASOP (android open source project). Cellphone manufactures then take the vanilla android code and add in different elements to the user interface (UI) to make the operating system their own. Motorola uses "blur" as their name for their UI "improvements" they make to android. HTC uses "Sense", samsung uses "touchwiz". each is a little different and each has differnent features, but all are based from vanilla android.

You will see custom ROMs form many developers that say "blurless" meaning they have removed the added items (widgets, apps, settings, options, themes) from the Manufactures software and the UI is basically vanilla android.


Think of yourself as "android" and the clothes you put on and wear as "blur" you are still yourself but you look/act different from other people (Sense, touchwiz), but your still all human (android)
