Thanks for Gingerman v6. It's working very nicely on my phone. I don't use the camera or video, so the niggles above don't apply for me.

Colour me one very happy u8150 user - and this is still the only 2.3-based ROM for this phone. Cheers!!!

I don't care about the camera, but there is still alloying earphone problem, and even I don't use earphone for phone call, the phone voice will drop to zero suddenly during a call... :confused:

Wi-Fi with SSID Hidden still not works...just like Gingerman V5.1

The rest of the version is just Awesome....runs even faster than V5.1 so i'm very happy :)

In other news - I am hopeful of a fix for the broken layouts very soon and camera and also for WiFi as well as general improvements including more RAM. I don't have a hidden network myself so the people that use them need to provide feedback.In other news - I am hopeful of a fix for the broken layouts very soon and also for WiFi.

I can confirm that the hidden SSID issue still exists in v6. Note that I upgraded from 5.1 instead of doing a clean install.

Logcat doesn't contain anything especially informative regarding wireless. I do get this periodically when connected to a different network:

W/WifiService( 171): misformatted scan result for: [mac address 1] 2437 215 [WPA2-PSK-TKIP+CCMP]

However, this happens even when I completely disable the hidden network in the router's settings, so I don't think it's related.

Good day to you all. V6 is nice... just the camera i think but its just a minor thing... What i would like to request though is maybe make a patch for some users like me who cant go past 691mhz when overclocking... I installed multitouch to make V6 run on my phone but i got no use for it, my screen is melfas so it wont work. Hope you would consider my request dev team thank you. and Great job on this awesome ROM. Keep it up!!!

Stk App

In Gingerman 5.1 what i did was get the zip file and get the stk app from gingerman v4 and then copied it to the gingerman v5.1 zip file then i auto signed the zip file.... This is the zip file that I flashed and the stk app was available and working
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marshallmutiso:
havent tried with the gingerman v6 but with v5.1 Get the stk.apk.... I personally got it from gingerman v4 zip file.... this is what I did....copy the stk.apk to the gingerman v5 zip file in system/app folder.... all this done without any extraction of the v5 zip file using winrar.... then sign the zip file.... you can get the application to sign.... then use the zip file to flash your phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Don't worry - everyone wanting the Sim Toolkit will have it included by default in Gingerman v7 which will be released soon. Gallery will be enabled as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
Ok - Here's my experience with GMV6

I first upgraded using the ROM Manager method and "wipe dalvik cache" but I had problems with alignments, performance - 100% CPU and sluggish (possibly related to Juice Defender being installed - also JD AOSP 2G/3G Toggle would not install, and the Dialer screen was off a bit.

Not knowing that Juice Defender was probably somehow negatively affecting performance or conflicting with GMV6 I flashed my backed up GMV5.1 to prepare for a clean install of GMV6.

After installing a clean (wipe data and cache) GMV6 and Google Apps using the ROM Manager method and using Titanium Backup to restore missing apps with data everything appears very good except the dialer and Juice Defender slowing the system to an unacceptable level of performance and requiring that it be disabled (until settings issues or bug issues can be discovered and resolved) and requiring a system reboot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pheodax:
I've upgraded from v5.1 to v6 yesterday.

Just some thoughts about Gingerman:

- When I rooted my phone and blocked the bloatware, both the speed and battery life improved. This was also due to CPU overclocking.

- When I installed Gingerman, the same was the case, but even more insane. Unlocked tons of features and still improved battery life by being able to underclock to... 33Mhz (I never owned a single CPU that ran at that speed..)

- I don't know why, but the speed of v6 is AWESOME. I run Linux on all my devices (router, access point, media center, MP3 player, tablet, laptop, phone) and I never experienced such an improvement in responsibility after any upgrade. Not even after compiling an optimized kernel.

- How the heck is this possible?! :eek: :D

Dude, Gingerman is faster than its own virtual shadow. It's almost impossible to keep up with it. Nice job Ideos Dev Team!

As always, looking forward to the next release ;)

PS: Never thought it was possible to impress people with a $100 budget phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
You might want to try No Frills CPU - this seems to get the processor modes set up right.

Is there any way to make a small donation? Maybe a PayPal button somewhere?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
My phone has an identity crisis and thinks it's a Nexus because of cool Nexus live wallpapers, modded Nexus boot animation, and Android Market Nexus S with Netflix. <grin>
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Its all here: Donations can now be made! and other sad news :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
^^ Gr8 minds think alike :cool:

it is a kewl theme btw
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
Nexus boot anim. is very nice ^^ I use it too ;)

your ph is sluggish due to live wallpaper me thinks :rolleyes:

it's one of the 1st things I del. when changing ROM ^^

I really like the concept but our wee ph can't handle them plus do other tasks at same time...

but, if you don't 'use' your ph (other than to look at) like a few others :lol: there shouldn't be a problem running a live wallpaper :p (if that's all you want it for) :j/k:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
GMV6 729mhz OC runs live wallpaper and Netflix much better than GM5.1. 729mhz. Also, if you install the SeePU from the market app you will see that live wallpaper only affects performance when you can see it on your screen otherwise it is not using massive CPU when it is not visible. But you are right in the fact that the phone struggles with live wallpaper.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
OK, it seems that the GMV6 turns into a zombie (really slow) after making a call too. Seems a reboot is required. Anyone else experiencing this or know a work around for this?

Update: It seems that locking and unlocking the phone eliminates the CPU overload and zombie state after making a call.

This does not appear to work for Juice Defender. Phone still goes into zombie state while enabled and remains there after locking and unlocking. However, after waiting patiently to disable JD, once it is disabled locking and unlocking the screen appears to eliminate the zombie state and eliminates the need to reboot for normal performance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dublea:
Everything for me seem to work well, but it's not perfect yet. I've experienced some slow downs and force quits of the Browser, Market, and some other apps every now and then. When this happens everything seems to lag and the only way to correct it is to reboot the device. I've attempted different cpu speeds but the same thing keeps happening. Overall a great rom, just needs some adjustments!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PaulMilbank:
Its a bit wierd and probably wont work, but I was reading about a problem on the defy where something was taking up cpu time and slowing the phone requiring a reboot or a lock and unlock cycle. The fix was to turn on usb debugging. Now it probably wont do anything and I am not running gingerman at the moment, so cant test for myself, but maybe someone can try it and see.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
:mmm:

I go to running services to see what's using what ^^

L.W used around 6-7 MB of RAM... Not gr8 hit (btw screen cannot be seen while checking this info.) but the whole ph. is just laggy while I have L.W running... when I revert to still image for wallpaper problem solved ;) no more lag...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
Where can I get the Nexus S market?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
Sorry I made a mistake. When then Netflix app was first leaked on the net for a while you could edit the build.prop to Samsung and Nexus S and could play Netflix. However, they recently removed the unsupported device check and I think now you just need Gingerbread. Anyway, when I first installed GMV6 I installed the leaked apk and modded the build.prop only to discover in this thread that you only needed to install the new app from the market.

I later did a clean install of GMV6 and just installed Netflix from market. The market now shows the correct phone and Netflix works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
Its just that SeePU gives you a running notification in the status bar of CPU load so you can see it even when you are not in setting - applications...

I have only noticed significant lag when live wallpaper is visible although as you mentioned it does require a good chunk of memory which can affect performance. U8150 definitely struggles with live wallpaper.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
Disabling USB debugging does not seem to work but lock/unlock cycle still returms CPU load to normal for calls.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
Ah ok, I think I remember reading about that.

Is there any simple way to tweak a rom so that the market shows apps that are for some reason blocked due to our resolution. It's really the only thing that bugs me about this phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] medenni:
i have i problem :p

i rooted my phone witg z4root app and installed ROM Manager. i want put CyanogenMod 7 on phone, but there is problem on my beginning...

i manualy downloaded Multitouch kernel on my SD card and in ROM Manager selected "Install ROM from SD card". in next step i choose to "Wipe Data and Cache", and Manager ask me to reset in "clockwork mode recovery". i hit "OK" and phone restarted (that is all ok). when he is turned on, there is splash screen of IDEOS and bacground light. at that point phone is freezed.....yes, i has waited about 8 hours :)

it would not start anything so i put out my battery.....phone works normal

problem is? :eek:

EDIT:

i did it......problem is been that i did't flash clockword mod :D :D :D

thanks to: nba1341

Not sure if it's part of the layout issue, but when using the keyboard, they keys are all fine, however if I'm trying to select something from the emoticon set it's a fair bit off where i'm pressing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] medenni:
i did it and it work :)

problem no2 :D :

i instaled first Main Release kernel (with Wipe Data and Cache) and than Multitouch kernel (with Wipe Dalvik Cache). it is all ok except multitouch doesn't work :o

EDIT: in app "Terminal Emulator" by $command getevent => i have Melfas touchscreen....awwwww :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
I know of two methods that used to work. The market has been updated and I haven't tried lately but check out a thread I started in Slatedroid Forum. It mentions two methods of accessing protected apps.

There was a build.prop edit. I stopped using this one for the easy one.

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/13510-access-the-android-market-with-an-android-sdk-avd-emulator/

And there was a real easy method - here's a YouTube video.

Dialpad during calls

The dialpad wont let you use the last row, the * 0 # keys, as they are hidden behind the Add call, End Call, Dialpad Show/Hide buttons.

Makes it hard if not impossible to use any prompt telephone services.

Big time bummer :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dc959:
Mine arnet hidden are u using v6?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
That's what I thought first, but he means teh dial pad you pull up when you're in a call. Can cofnirm on version 6 those numbers are hidden as relaxinparadise said.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samwyze:
Another layout issue, looks like layout xmls have been updated on github though, so hopefully fixed in next release ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
Mine are hidden too (GMv6 fresh install) while in a call - * 0 # keys.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
The easy way doesn't seem to work any longer :(

Guess the harder way it shall be when i have time.

EDIT: Seems in gingerbread it's not as easy as a build prop change.

If someone with more knowledge wants to take a look at this: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/14998-herotab-mid816-enable-full-market-access/

Maybe they can work out what was being done there and apply it to our phone. Seems as well as the build prop, permission xmls had to be edited as well.

Does FMRadio work in Gingerman V6?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MajesticTouch:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
Did some digging around in terms of market enabling. Seems for screen size fixes, we need a patched market, however no one has been able to patch the latest market. It's easy enough to get around other restrictions like apps that need a flash, auto focus, multi-touch and other optional hardware by adding permission files. I'm going to keep an eye on the thread in the Wild fire forum, hopefully someone finds a way to patch the newest market again.

EDIT: Ah, the answer was under my nose the whole time.

atl4ntis, who created the A.I.B Catacylsm Rom for our phone had put a patched market in a while ago. I remeber seeing it a long time ago but totally forgot. pushing his vending.apk onto the phoen gives full access to the market. Now I tinkered with alot of thigns, so here's what I did to get it working.

Market Fix

WARNING: Whilst I've had no problems I can't guarantee nothing will go wrong. Always do a nandroid backup before editing system files.

1. Copy the vending.apk and android.hardware.camera.flash-autofocus.xml to your sd card

2. Go to manage applications, all tab

3. Clear cache and data of the market

4. clear data of google framework services

5. Using root explorer copy the vending.apk to /system/app (overwrite the old one)

6. Fix permissions to be rw-r--r-- (just what every other apk in the folder is)

7. copy the camera xml file to /system/etc/permissions

8. Fix permissions to be rw-r--r--

9. Go back to the system folder and edit the build.prop. Edit the following lines to look like this: (They'll be somewhere in the top chunk of instructions)

ro.product.name=soju

ro.product.device=crespo

ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

10. Reboot phone (make sure everything has started up before attempting to use the market, so just leave it an extra minute after you get to the home screen, else the market will force close)

Thanks go to atl4ntis for patching the vending.apk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nba1341:
Where do I download this vending.apk?

edit: tried using the one in this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062069

I don't know if it worked or not becuase now the search doesn't work in the market... I even searched something in google and hit agree still no search hmmmm....

Edit edit: damn didn't work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
that's the one I'm using, forgot to attach it, woops and now not at computer. It worked for me. If it didn't try the edit in the build.prop as well. Possibly both need to be done. I'm going to try doing this moddification from a clean install later tonight.

EDIT: Vending.apk attached to previous post.

EDIT 2: Let me know if you tried the build.prop edit and it didn't work. I've modded alot of my build.prop to mimic the nexus S and have no idea how much of it is necessary at this point.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nba1341:
Yea I did your steps exactly and edited the build.prop before restarting the first time. Took one more restart to get the search in market to work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
Ok, well I'll try modding it from a fresh install, cause I did change a fair few things here and there in previous attempts to get the market working, look back in a couple of hours and i'll hopefully have figured out what needs to be done!

EDIT: Seems the device and name need to match those in the fingerprint. Possibly only 1 of the two needs to be changed, I did both changes at once, but I can't see the harm in changing both.

I've updated the original instructions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilastharoth:
I just wanted to thank you guys! Following your instructions and also adding the permissions for camera's flash and autofocus now I'm able to install all the app I want :-)
