I have a confession. I cheated on the Beast. I tried the new Gingerbread Sense roms that were released. I was just testing the waters. I really wanted to see what the official release was like. That was all. They meant nothing to me. I swear. The Sense roms were nice, I guess. They worked, just not as smooth as you. Battery life was awful too. In the end I realized the errors of my ways and returned to the flock. I shall never stray from the path again. Beast, you are the best. Viva la GingerBeast!

Well, I won't stray until something new comes along. I am a flash addict after all. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ephemeralness:
Every time I say or read "GingerBeast" I envision an eight foot tall guy with red hair, a football helmet, biceps the size of my head, dragging a club, and for some reason he keeps saying "mother" over and over. Or is that just me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:

EXT4?

I did a search and while the question was asked on May 24th, no answer was given...

Will this ROM run on EXT4 partitions, or should I go ahead and reformat?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ephemeralness:
I'm on ext4 right now. Everything seems to be running fine.

[HTC Inspire 4G] :
I posted this in Q & A but I'm not getting the answer I'm looking for so I'm posting it here in the hopes that more eyes will see it....

Although I frequently switch back and forth between a lot of ROMs, I keep coming back to GingerBeast time and again, despite the fact that it's now unsupported. Frowny face.

Anyway, I'm looking for as stock an experience as I can have and would like to change the lockscreen from the default rotary interface to Google's sliding tab interface. I've done a lot of Google searching and read through the GingerBeast thread, but I'm posting here to ask to be pointed in the right direction before I bootloop my phone. Is the UOT kitchen the best place to accomplish this? Anyone have any other ideas? What files need to be modified? Anything at all you can provide would be appreciated.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
just a question, whats the difference between cm7 and this, if there both aosp based, atleast i think, correct me if i'm wrong, i mean i love cm7 but man i've noticed how buggy it is compared to yours, freezes alot for me. Whats the advantages and disadvantages, and if i want a very customizable but vanilla like expierence, should i go with this rom or another.?

You can definitely customize this ROM. I like adw ex launcher with the gingerbread red theme. Or Adams favorite sense theme :-)

Cm7 is aosp, but its aosp tweaked to all hell and changed quite a bit. This is more what you would get with a nexus s but tweaked a little. Basically this is more pure aosp, I added some cm

tweaks that I like.

How confusing would it be to add a tweaks genre in settings and putting on/off buttons for those tweaks you have, if very, nevermind unless you want to...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Larz_Plummer:
Enomther used to do something like that with his Official ROM for the N1. It was basic AOSP with CM7 features activated in spare parts. Kept the basic ROM clean and simple without cluttering things up... unless you turned a feature on you wanted. It was awesome!

[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
I remember that. Enomther did this with the G1 as well. Very awesome! It was literally the most basic of Roms, bone stock. If everything were activated, the whole thing kinda morphed into this luscious goodness. There were so many options, some of which, I didn't know what to do with. haha.

In a way, it was great. It kept people from asking for certain features that weren't there, or complaining about features that were.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
Someone should try to dev a rom like this, i would definetly help test or do other stuff if you explain it to me :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] dethpikil:
lol sorry, of course. like, theres several different parallel options. media, ringer, notifications and such, ive seen some nonsense roms have to option to individually adjust them without being in an app that is pertinent to one specific setting. if im still not clear enough, just forget i typed anything, im still drooling over this rom either way.

No doubt! Every once in a while i came back to this wonderful rom.

I also only use this ROM and I find it to be amazing even being unsupported.

It just goes to show how much blood and sweat di11igaf put into his ROMs, especially the Beast. Even though he may have left the building, his ROMs continue to live on. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] sumkee:
Just wondering if there is any way to add the "hide hold button" option in this rom? My cheek just keeps pressing the hold button...

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
I posted the Phone.apk that removes the hold button in this thread acouple months ago. Its in here somewhere.

Edit: post #1656
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rob116:
I'm getting a .apk not installed

Notification when I try to install it... Any thoughts?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
Not entirely sure. do you have the the android sdk installed and run CMD as administrator. Did you set the folder to read/write with a file explorer type program. You can also manually add it to the folder. It will cause one of the processes to force close. Just pull the battery go into recovery and fix permissions in recovery. As always make a nandroid backup before you do anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rob116:
Damn. I initially transferred directly to system/app folder. Followed your advice re: rebooting, fixing permissions, still not working. And to top it off, updated Rom Manager and it appears not to have properly backed up my stuff - says there's no valid md5 sum. Not your fault, still sucks. Looks like I'm going to need to restore a back up from a month ago. A comedy of mystery errors :). Unless you've got any other ideas of how I can get back to square one, I guess I'll just pull the trigger.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
Damn dude that sucks. I'm not an exert by any means. But I have installed it both ways. Infact just reinstalled the Beast a couple days ago and just copied it to the folder and fixed permissions. And that really sucks about your backup. What recovery version are you using?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rob116:
I'm using the latest - 5.0.2.0. How exactly did you adjust permissions (i.e. what exactly did you change)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
I'm using 4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 there is an option to fix permissions in the advanced menu. Thats all i did and it worked. Sorry if your setup got jacked up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rob116:
No worries, got everything I need pulled out to reinstall post-recovery. Thanks for trying.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sumkee:
Cableguy,

Thanks a lot:) I'm going to give it a try later. This hold button is just killing me. This is the only reason that's keeping me from flashing GingerBeast.:eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
What causes the wifi and cell signal indicators to change from green to white, and and then back to green?

I just saw it do it as I was typing this? Signal strength does not seems to change when it is happening.

Maybe it is normal - I don't know. Just kinda odd that's all???
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
White is standard. Green means Google is syncing (mail, calendar, books, etc).

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Really???

That would mean my phone is syncing about 90% of the time.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the two circular arrows that show up to the left of the bluetooth icon were the sync icons.. :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Its not continually syncing, but more of your connected to the Google servers

Wow love this ROM - it runs very well on my DHD. I can't believe I didn't know that you could run Inspire 4G roms on the DHD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
Anyone know a program that is similar to quiet hours in cm7?
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
I use Tasker to set notifications to silent at night. I keep the ringer on so I can still hear emergency phone calls. It's a bit overkill if that's all you need, but it does enable you to do many other tricks as well.

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I assume this is a volume scheduler???

If so, I use "Sound Manager V2" You can schedule volumes and vibration.

Works awesome!

And it is free to boot!

[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Haven't been doing much with phones at all(that I released anyway, made a few evo 3d kernels and started messing with aosp but never released. Just picked up the gs2 epic as well.)

Lately just been messing with Linux distros and my own kernels, just picked up an alien ware m14 with an i7 2820 quad. So once I get debian all set up and running I'll be at it, and I'm thinking about coming back to att. Not happy with sprint's 3g, wimax is good, just too many places without it.

Ps-you guys are f'ing amazing for still supporting this and keeping it alive.

Anyone using the latest ATT radio from the updated ATT rom? I flashed it a few days ago with the recommended 0160 ril but I think it's ruined my battery life :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Using latest radio: 10.04.03_M

AOSP RIL: 0018G

My battery lasts 1-1 1/2 days with moderate use.

Data speeds average 3.5-5 mb down and 1-1.8 mb up

GPS locks in about 5-10 sec.

Love this rom btw!!! :D

I am sooo hoping for this dev to do a ICS when it is out ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
I'm using the same radio but with HTC-RIL 2.2.0153HM and I'm getting great battery life. With moderate usage, I'm at 51% after 17 hours. I have almost 2 hours of screen time, GPS usage, voice calls, many SMS, and browsing the internet. I realize this might be considered light usage for some, I guess it's subjective.

Dang I remember when I was on this rom. I moved out after no updates for like in forever~~
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
It's a great rom. This was the second rom I ever flashed and I'm back to it now after flashing several other ones. Very stable and gives me great battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
hm i flashed back to the att OTA update this morning cuz i got fedup. 20% lost in 2-3 hours with barely any use. i think i'll just stay on this one for now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
That's what I'm running (same ROM and RIL). Add in version 1.3 of the AGPS patch and everything works like butter. Battery lasts over a day unless I play 3D-accelerated games....then I kill it in 3 hours. :p

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Did you have to flash the AGPS patch to get GPS to work?

No, but it does get a lock a bit quicker. 5 seconds versus 15 to 30 seconds.

They reviewed Gingerbeast, it isn't a very good review but one none the less.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
It seemed like a fairly good review to me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
I'd like to know which ROMs he's using that he gets better battery life than GingerBeast.

Edit: I read it a bit closer and he claims that MIUI and CM give him better battery life. I'm not sure if I believe that. I have tried many ROMs, and I get the best battery with this one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bclark:
I just feel there is no comment about dilli's custom kernel nor that this was built months ago. The battery thing I understand but was he overclocked, did he even check?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtalum:
I've been using MIUI for about a month, and I can say that while the battery on MIUI is almost as good as it is on GingerBeast, it's not quite there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Goonish:
I've tested every ROM here and there's no way he got better battery life from cyan or miui.. Reviews need stats, no stats I call BS to testing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
Very true, +1 :)

The other thing that many people don't realize is that Gingerbeast can actually run incredibly stable if you set your max wake clock to 368MHz or even 245MHz. You'd be hard pressed to find another ROM that can handle 245MHz as its max wake frequency and allow you to use the phone without problems. If I'm doing anything multimedia-wise, I can run the Beast with my max wake slightly underclocked at 768MHz and stream Netflix, Google Music, Pandora, Slacker, and Youtube without any lagging/stuttering to be found. Even without an update in months, this ROM is a freakin' champ :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Not only that, but the best ROM available.

[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Oh come on, where did that come from?

As best as I can tell from posts by those that worked with him, he took the AOSP code, and merged in the necessary drivers from CM7 to make it work on our Inspires. Yes, there are chunks of CM7 in this ROM, but it is not CM7. This uses the stock launcher, instead of the custom ADW launcher. This uses the stock framework, instead of the custom CM7 framework. It doesn't contain the 3,000 memory, cache, interface settings that CM7 has. You get the idea. It's a very clean, very minimalistic ROM that gives your Inspire the closest thing to Google "pure" as is currently available.

Yah...I like this ROM. Can you tell?

Bluetooth cannot connect

Hoping someone can assist. I just re-installed Gingerbeast and now I cannot get my BT devices to connect.

I wiped cache, including dalvik. I did backup my BT settings via Titanium, which may be the issue.

It recognizes the devices and says it is paired but not connected.

Also, the car now prompts me to enter a password, which it never did before. I enter the code and it still will not connect, just keeps asking me for a new code.

Any assistance, welcome as always!

You did not wipe data? And when you say you did backup your BT settings, can I assume that you restored those settings after flashing GingerBeast?

I've had trouble with ROMs before, this one as well, after restoring settings with TB. Did you make a backup when you were running an AOSP ROM or Sense?
