yep, wipe directly from recovery, it is more reliable. Also backup and install everything and always from recovery. I trust rom manager only to install Recovery and nothing more.

(might be a repost by mistake, but...)

I can build and post a kanged version if the sources are all up to date on github...

Waiting waiting....for Gingerman 6.5 hope your connection become stable soon..... i really want to test new Gingerman 6.5 version...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pheodax:
Why don't you try installing version 4 first? This was the most stable (but not most feature-rich) version of Gingerman for any model. Install it, but wipe everything first then do the same for version 6.1.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
try installing version 4 first? doest it run android 2.3.4 or just 2.2.1 ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grifovunque:
the new upload of v6.5 is only 14mb...

i think that the problem of connection it's always present...

:(

we have to be patient and wait....

:D ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Thanks, I can't wait!

That's cool, dude. I applaud you on this... I know how unreliable internet connections can be sometimes in rural areas in developing countries (been living in Kenya for quite some time now ;)). Just go relax, eat some naan, drink some 5-rupee chai and we'll download 6.5 when it finally makes to the mirrors.

Thanks again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilastharoth:
reduced consumption

Yay, waiting for 6.5! But it comes when it comes, no rush :-)

In the meantime for those of you who want to experiment:

I used this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145) script and noticed a huge reduction on the battery consumption! Before it was more than 4% per hour, after enabling the script it went down to 1,6% (as now 9 hours have passed and the consumption is at 15%)!!! Ah, I always have 3g connection enabled (no sync though).

I don't know if it's something coincidental or if the consumption reduction is directly linked to the script, we need other volounteers to test it better :-).

Tilal, what do you think?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
It's included in v6.5 so you can test it for yourself :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Gingerman v6.5 has been uploaded! Finally after a long uphill struggle I managed to get my ISP to fix the line and I was finally able to upload it!

It's not on SourceForge so don't bother looking for it there - SourceForge has become too unreliable so I'm going to delete the project there. The file has been uploaded to a familiar but new service :)

The links will be announced soon :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grifovunque:
you really want to hurt me :D

thank you very much....

we wait your link...

I hope to flash it this night.... I'm not sleepy :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
It really good if you give alink today ... cos i going to flash my IDEOS to new roms but if Gingerman 6.5 is coming i will wait.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Gingerman v6.5 has been released! Get it here or in ROM Manager

Here's what I posted on the blog:

The new version of Gingerman has been released!

The main things:

* It's synced with the latest CM repos.

* It defaults to an overclock of 600MHz so it can be used on all devices.

* But it has the possibility to overclock to 729MHz.

* It is better than the CM7.1 RC1

* It has the cool new screenshot feature from the CM repos. You can access it by opening the power menu.

* It has fixes for the WiFi issues people have been having.

* Multiple bugfixes from the CM repos.

* Go Launcher EX included (my personal favourite - if you don't like it ADW is still an option and others can be downloaded from the market).

* And speaking of the market...

* MARKET 3.0 is INCLUDED. It works very well on the Ideos and seems even to be unlocked - Skype appears for me. There does however seem to be a problem with updates. If this happens then you can flash GAPPs and it will revert to the old market

* And many hidden extras...

You can get it as usual through ROM Manager. BUT BE WARNED - the ROM automatically wipes data!

Full changelog can be found here at the bottom of the page.​

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

what should i do next ???

it cause by my device or by rom ???

Please help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
I had the same problem. Fortunately, it does not screw up your current ROM and you can try download and install the ROM from ClockworkMod, which is what I'm currently trying. Fingers crossed.

Edit: Damn! That didn't work either.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Woops. That's caused by the rom. I can't correct it now either. :( just flash v6.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Everyone: Don't try to flash 6.5 . There is a bug that makes it not flash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
I will release a fix in 2 days time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pompatello:
Nice! I'm gonna try it now, thanks!

Do you know which of the many themes here on XDA are actually compatible with U8150 and theme chooser? it usually tells me that the theme I've donwloaded doesn't apply.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
I try to flash Stock rom and root and try to flash Gingleman v6.5 again... maybe it work... but maybe not too :o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
I have changed the update script myself, and will test now. If it works successfully, is it alright for me to post the fix? Thanks a lot for the ROM, btw. :)

Edit: Flashed successfully. Hopefully I can share the fix with you guys.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
If u do successful it really great....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
Please share i really want to try Gingleman v6.5.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
I'm going through the setup screen. So far so good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Yeah sure. You can share it. It was a really stupid mistake on my part :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
So could you tell me how to fix it.... ??? i really want to try it now..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Just extract the file, get rid of the format lines in the updater script and then zip and flash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
opp.... err i don't know where or what i should do... so could u do it and re upload or provide patch of your rom.. for fix this problem.. Thank
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Sorry. Won't be near a computer again for 2 days. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
Either modify the script as tilal699 said or download my edited script from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1051148/updater-script and follow these steps:

Steps:

1. Open Gingerman-v6.5.zip and overwrite updater-script in META-INF\com\google\android with the modified script

2. Use the modified Gingerman-v6.5.zip to install through ClockMod

Note: Connect to WiFi for Market to show up
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
Thank you very much... i will try it now..:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
so... it not just the Market app ??? it about formatting cache and userdata too ??:rolleyes: i waiting for ur modify

i know nothing about script or code just know using... :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
Sorry, I'm not thinking very well because it is 3 AM where I am. I'm not sure if my original update script screwed up the market or if the MarketInstaller.exe did. I just reflashed using tilal6991's way, and I can see the market now. Just download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1051148/updater-script again and use it if you haven't flashed already, it's using tilal6991's way.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
You just need to connect to WiFi for Market to show up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
So how about formatting system, cache and userdata using yaffs2 is it correct ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Yes it works - I'm uploading a fix right now. :) Forced my way to a computer
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
Thanks typ3z3r0 and tilal6991 for ur kindly support.. Good night ^_^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
No problem. Sorry for the confusion, I don't know anything Android either. xD
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nba1341:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
No you can't
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pompatello:
I flashed it and it works fine. Nice job!

I have two questions:

1) I'm having issues configuring Facebook's account: it does show up but I can't get it to work

2) are there any available themes that apply to QVGA screen? there's plenty of them here on XDA but it appears none can be used via themechooser
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aml114:
So I'm kinda lost and need help can someone please post me directions with links to get overclock rom working on u8150-A

Thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nba1341:
Just installed. How come I dont have updated market?

Sent from Gingerman 6.5 using XDA App.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] f1ng3r:
@aml114. Hmm...You want this ROM on this thread or just any stable ROM with overclock enabled for the IDEOS 8150?

Becouse, if you dont now how to modify the ROM, resign it and flash, is better you wait 1-2 days until fixed version get posted. Otherwise, you can flash the previous(stable) version of this ROM, Gingerman v6.1.

@tilal. Thank you for the time and work you and Ideos DevTeam spent on this device. Very fast/good ROM as always ;)

But...some bugs are still present :( . The softkeys dont light-up when the screen is ON. This is a big problem when one have to use the phone on the dark(maybe i miss some hidden settings but i check and dont find nothing). The wrong MAC for the WIFI is still present. I cant download any app from the market(the new market worked fine on the last ROM i used). It remain on the Downloading fase without any progress . The Radio dont work(but you said that ;) ).

I hope you'll fix some of this bugs, but anyway the ROM still remain @TOP ;)

EDIT: After a reboot, Market is OK and i can download any app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aml114:
I would like gingerman 6.5 I have 6.1 I know how to do it just got lost I'm the thread sorry lol but plz anyone with directions and links I would appreciate it :-)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aml114:
Thanx for the link is that all i need to flash? No Gapps or the other script i did see a couple of people needing it or does this one contain the new script. Also does the market work fine with this as well or do i need special instructions for that
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smtih:
With this script, will autokiller conflict with it's settings, or do they adjust different thigns?

I flashed this and now I get a wi-fi error whenever I attempt to enable wi-fi.

If someone could help me get the stock ROM back on my phone or expound upon why my wi-fi no longer works your input would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilastharoth:
Just installed 6.5 and so far so good :-) A big compliment for the dev!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nba1341:
Can anyone confirm what market version they have with the rom? (Either overclock or multitouch). I still have 2.3.6.

Thanks.

EDIT: ACTUALLY in the changelong for CM7 it tells me I still have gingerman 6.1..... Whats the deal I downloaded 6.5 multitouch from Rom manager...

EDIT EDIT: just manually flashed the Gingerman-v6.5-Multitouch.zip and the thing is gingerman 6.1....

TILAL???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nba1341:
Couldnt get the 6.5 overclock to work either. The one from rom manager bricked my phone. The download zip got the error and trying to use the fixed update someone posted I just got insallation aborted but without the error.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ningcube89:
I've noticed that it has two issues on my part.

For one, whatever theme I choose to install, the dialer never displays correctly. I've tried different ones like Orion, or the Optimus theme and the same problem applies. Any insight on how to change that?

I have no issues with the wi-fi that everyone else is having, and for the most part the market has worked fine with no issues, but when I installed PowerAMP back again, it force closed and wouldn't start up anymore. I rebooted my phone, uninstalled it, and it worked fine, then stopped working again. Not huge issues, it runs smoothly, and most of the bugs have been ironed out but yeah any help would be appreciated.

I'm using the U8150 A.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xda_nz:
Successful flash here (using boot into recovery mode). Downloaded and installed the patched install script as above, and of course wiping cache. The new launcher, boot animation and theme are nice too! All screens so far look good, no out of alignment buttons. Speed is good (no multitouch, overclocked to 679).

'About phone' shows Gingerman 6.5 (build GRJ22).

Great work Tila - I hope you've had some time to enjoy your Indian holiday!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daomf:
I must make an addendum to this even though no one had responded. My phone, even though I've flashed it multiple times is still showing:

Android Version 2.2.1

Build Number u8150v100r001c126b842

I'm assuming, based on the post above this one, that this means I haven't even successfully flashed it.

But, since whatever I did trashed my Wi-Fi...now I can't Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have no idea why, even though it says that the installation is complete, it's changing nothing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] menghour2010:
The new rom gingerman 6.5 is good I don't have any problem now. Market work smooth, wifi work smooth, launcher not restart anymore ...

But I just wonder why CPU Max. Clock fraq is just 600Mhz??? Unable to 725 MHz like the gingerman 6.1 .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndytheAndroid:
.....................
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xda_nz:
Well, in fairness, not 'EVERYONE' ought to avoid the flash. It's perfectly serviceable, safe, and recoverable to flash with the simple patch mentioned a couple of pages back.

Heck, I even flashed with a self-edited install script which hung the phone - but rebooting the phone into the recovery console I was then able to copy the correctly patched ROM onto the SD card and reflash successfully.

just another question. why can i just overclock it to 600mhz. is it because of the multitouch kernel that i flashed? i need to overclock to 729? any help? and i'm loving the increased internal storage after flashing. 187mb. wow.

Edit: yes it was the multitouch kernel. flashed 6.5 without it any everythings fine. can overclock to 729 now.

just swap the file using winzip. no need to unzip it. worked for me.

if you use ubuntu or a linux distro , you can replace the file directly on the zip without decompress,compress,resign,ecc...

on windows(?!) you can use 7zip for best result if i remember rigth.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
I upgraded to GM6.5 OC (no muti-touch in my U8150-A) via download and flashed from ClockWorkMod recovery with factory reset and wipe data. I used the script provided higher in the thread to fix errors in the ROM before flashing. Ultimately everything appears to have installed great.

Using Windows Vista SP2 I simply right clicked to extract the ROM.zip file to a folder - pasted and replaced the required updater script in the appropriate directory - backed up to the top of the file list of extracted files - selected all the ROM files and folders that were extracted - right clicked and selected "send to" zip - created a zip called GM65.zip and moved it to the root of my SD - booted into recovery and flashed.

I also installed the HW fix for the lights and it works. I restored my apps, settings and data with Titanium Backup Pro - I hope this is OK and does not cause problems for the system. The new Android Market is cool and seems to work OK so far.

Thanks for the great ROM Tital6991 and other XDA members who contributed fixes, posts and such...:)

PS. The new boot animation is nice too!

To eliminate distortion of the audio you have to delete the file AutoVolumeControl.txt in /system/etc/ and always replace /system/etc/ files and AudioFilter.cvs AudioFilterU8150.cvs U8150 taken from a rom and add the file 01_qc.cfg always taken by a U8150 rom then reboot the device and the audio is not the most stoner. :D
