[HTC Inspire 4G] dayresnky1:
I agree and I generally just start from scratch. I only did a backup on a couple of items (contacts, bluetooth, accounts) and I only restored the one item, BT settings. Coming back from the current stock ROM

I am wondering if a factory reset might do the trick? There does not seem to be a way to "clear" the bluetooth settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Yeah, you might have to start all over. Since you did a backup while running a Sense ROM, and then restored it while running an AOSP ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Or reinstall the rom and manually setup your bluetooth.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Yeah, sorry that's what I meant.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
+1

That is what I had to do with my latest rom - also removed my phone's profile from my car's stereo system.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dayresnky1:
Case closed! Factory reset worked. Thanks as always.
[HTC Inspire 4G] passtheknowledge:
I'm using the latest talon kernel that runs solid so far.

Anyone using a different kernel that makes this rom even better?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I don't believe there is one. I've tried others and always reverted back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
dang this rom is still being used after no update for 01010109 years~~ :P

making me want to go back to this rom~~
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Do it!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
+1, still the best. Its bug free, performance is great, and battery life is really good. I don't even have the desire for an update. Sure, I'd welcome it but for what? It doesn't need anything fixed and it's about as optimized as a rom can be lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Goonish:
I'm really digging the blackice ROM, battery might actually be better, but I've only had 2 days testing.. Might be a new boss in town it seems ;)

Plus much more options to tinker with.. Getting epic battery life atm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTCinspiration:
Absolution ROM finally took me away from the beast but it was a good run :')
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
we'll see you back here next month ;)

what type of battery life are you guys getting? I'm getting 15-30 hours depending on use, but I think google+ is chewing up my battery
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
However long it took me to get to 2.5 hours screen time. I've seen others get a lot better. Perhaps because I sync a lot of email. You could look at your wakelocks (via BetterBatteryStats), Where's My Droid Power (I've found it to be fairly accurate), and CPUSpy. All of these will help diagnose anything that's eating more battery than it should.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
Says I have no contacts on my SIM card when I clearly do. Am I doing anything wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
I have a huge problem. With this ROM, radio, and kernel (I don't know what is causing it), as soon as GPS is activated, I lose data (3G or otherwise) until I reboot the phone. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I don't think it is an h2o wireless issue because GPS and data was working fine on Revolution paired with its recommended radio. I used the same radio when I initially flashed this ROM and call quality was shot, dropped calls, the works. My GPS I didn't test with the recommended radio from Revolution on this ROM though.

I'm going to reinstall the ROM with a full format of all partitions and see if that fixes it but if my GPS kills my data this ROM is a no-go as I am now in Louisiana and I rely heavily on TeleNav to get me where I'm going!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Sounds like an APN issue. I experienced this only when I was using two APNs. Switch to one and it won't happen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
I use h2o's config app from the market. I am on h2o internet+MMS but its one APN. Are you saying I need to let go of MMS in order to have GPS?

EDIT: Intriguing. I deleted the h2o WAP and default at&t APNs and now my GPS not only works but my data stops switching to EDGE right away... I left the MMSC entry at the bottom for MMS... Hmmm... That's curious. I always thought that the active APN was the only one used? It appears you just fixed my GPS AND my data drop to EDGE and GPRS...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Yeah, for some reason, this rom performs best on one apn with mms rolled into it. Any other combination has resulted in quirks such as yours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] grant8010:
After backing up data and installing the gingerbeast rom all apps that i downloaded and all data like text messages were all missing. is there a way to install this rom and also restore my data
[HTC Inspire 4G] Goonish:
Titanium backup and SMS backup +
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
Sooooo.......can anyone help and answer why is says I dont have any SIM contacts? If I go back to ARHD there are clearly about 50 SIM contacts showing up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Perhaps they just aren't being displayed? When in contacts, hit menu, then display options.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
I miss this thread.

Anyways back to topic... Anyone have any good tweaks or customizations loaded onto the beast??
[HTC Inspire 4G] RickEphraims:
I've tried a lot of roms but this one is a keeper.

It is smooth, fast and pretty good on the battery.

I have no faults or bugs at all with this one. Great job guys :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] houstonsveryown:
So show of hands on who is using this rom still?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
I am. Loving it still.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RickEphraims:
I was using it till a couple of days ago. Wanted to try something with. 2.3.7 in it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chbearsrock:
Has anyone found an alternative kernel that doesn't kill the camera yet? That's really the only limitation to this rom..
[HTC Inspire 4G] dayresnky1:
It's hard to beat! I keep checking for an update??????
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtalum:
If you're looking for a more current AOSP ROM, a good GingerBeast replacement is Absolution. It's not as small of a download, but it is smooth and fast and actually gets somewhat better battery life for me than GingerBeast did.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
I may end up just flashing that later today. Was going to reflash this since I think I screwed it up some and get random reboots :-P worst case ill end up back here lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] RickEphraims:
I just keep rolling back to this one cause it looks and works so well...
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Still using this one. It seems a true "AOSP" is a rare thing, now that Cyanogen (and it's derivatives) has essentially become a skinned-Android itself. It has become something of a "tweak it until it breaks" ROM. Gingerbeast was nearly-pure Google for my Inspire, and I don't understand why we don't have more people wanting that.

I'll look at Absolution, I suppose, but I'm kind of leaning on keeping with Gingerbeast until a stable version of ICS comes out for my phone. There isn't much to be had between 2.3.4 to 2.3.7.

Edit: Actually, I kind of like the look of StarDroid Ranger. However, both ROMs are essentially Cyanogen derivatives. (sigh) I don't know...I think I'll stick with Gingerbeast until it breaks.

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
My feelings exactly. I took a look at Absolution, but it's entirely too themed for my minimal tastes. I'll be keeping Gingerbeast for the duration.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
yeah im not a fan of the theme. i think i'll just reflash gingerbeast clean tonight and leave that on until hopefully di11igaf makes us an ICbeast :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ephemeralness:
Oh hell yeah, IceCreamBeast! Or maybe CreamyBeast. IceBeast seems too tame.:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Goonish:
I'd totally dig a new version of aosp! I'd still use this ROM daily if the kernel was updated a few other things. <3
[HTC Inspire 4G] killersloth:
I could package this with an updated kernel but I'm not sure if it would work completely, as I believe di11i didn't use cm source. I'll test it out soon.

Any preferred AOSP Kernel? I always prefer lordmod kernel, but there are others as well...
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Y'know, it's kind of frustrating. For a moment, we had two competing true-ASOP ROMS: Gingerbeast and Gandroid. Gandroid dropped out since (at the time) Gingerbeast was performing more reliably. Then di11i drops out and nobody picked up either torch.

Honestly...and this is probably not the forum for it...but I'd love it if the CyanogenMod team realized what a massive update to the GUI Ice-Cream-Sandwhich is, and dumped their previous mods and went back to just getting AOSP Android working on as many devices as possible. It's really time to retire ADW launcher.

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTCinspiration:
Absolution ROM DEFINITELY gets better battery life than Gingerbeast & i loved the batt life on the beast. And not long ago someone on this thread said i'd be back to Gingerbeast in no time. Ha! Not yet & not ever. The beast was good while it lasted but it is now extremely inferior & has been blown away in battery life, performance, beauty & features by far superior Absolution ROM! Booya! :')
[HTC Inspire 4G] bclark:
I don't know if any of you guys follow Talon but check out this post from Existz http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19272065

This could be awesome and exactly what many of us are looking for. Dilli did awesome but it can't hurt to see something new...especially from Existz
[HTC Inspire 4G] bclark:
Btw you sir are trolllloooollllloooollllling.

Leave thanks!!!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
This is definitely on my radar. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
@bclark and bzow

Sent you guys a PM
[HTC Inspire 4G] flappjaxxx:
Haha! CreamyBeast FTW! Good stuff!
[HTC Inspire 4G] buzzboy:
Need some more clean Aosp love. Come on Talon, have high hopes! :)

The Gingerbeast is still a blinding Rom, ultra smooth.

[HTC Inspire 4G] chbearsrock:
Best news I've seen in a while! As great as all the CM7 and Sense roms are these days, there's something about a true vanilla AOSP that just makes me salivate..
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
that just sounds dirty :p

I like it!

Got your Talon thread subscribed. It appears your work has quite a faithful following. Thanks for picking up the torch, and good luck!

existz does some damn fine work. Looking forward to the rom myself.

[HTC Inspire 4G] synergye:
Dont know if this is something you guys would be interested in, but I have a personal build of omfgb I've been running on my inspire, and could upload it. Everything works, and is far closer to aosp than cm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Not trying to be a thread killer guys, but shouldn't we respect the beast and keep this thread free of other rom talk? Yeah I used to love the beast and still believe its the best rom ever made for the inspire...but I have moved on. All of this other rom talk may turn others away from trying the beast. Just sayin :):)

Respect The Beast! :):):):)

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Damn I miss D1lli1's work. I am almost wanting to re-install it again. Saddest day I had was when he announced he was going to the other side.....Wish he would return as he hinted he might. I really think he was one of the best devs going. Not that Ninja and Abs aren't fantastic in their own ways.

I will prolly always keep my backup of Beast on my card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
I for one am glad someone picked up the torch and is building a new ASOP ROM based of 2.3.7. Gingerbeast is a great ROM but the new updates in existz ROM are nice. I've been running it for about a week and it's light, fast and smooth just like GB.
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Well, I'd claim this is something of a unique situation since the developer has left. For all of us clinging to our beloved Gingerbeast ROM but wish for an update, I think it's "on-topic" to discuss upcoming ROMs that may be as close to a follow-on to the beast as possible. Where else would we discuss it? Rest assured that if di11igaf returned, then all talk of alternatives/substitutes would fall flat!

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
And your entitled to your opinion lol. :):):):):)

I am just not going to be disrespectful to the beast or its awsome dev.

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
It's not being disrespectful. Go to just about any other device forum and devs and the like talk about each others ROMs in their threads with each other. They actually work together to make their devices better. Hell we all know this is a great ROM and I have a backup of it on my phone but some of the improvements with 2.3.7 are great and it's nice knowing someone is coming out with a light and simple ROM like the beast. I'm sure dilli peaks in here every now and then and if he has a problem with this discussion all he has to do is say so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] flappjaxxx:
This was/is a great piece of work that has obviously endured. The dev moved on as some of us do, I know I have since my first four Android devices. The Inspire is #5. So moving forward we will have what existz has been working on and I can tell you that no one that loves Gingerbeast will be disappointed. Its great work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
looking forward to it :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] RampageRR:
I concur. It is very similar, and really works well. I love it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gvsukids:
You are already using the new ROM from existz?
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
(Using a teacher's voice): If you are going to enjoy that here in the class, you have to share with everybody!

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Read the last page or two of TalonACE thread :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
For anyone that didn't click quite far enough back the first time, here's the link. It's a "public beta" right now so may still have some bugs. Existz, hope it's okay if i cross post the link here. I'm sure everyone here is looking forward to this new rom :)

http://code.google.com/p/talon-rom/
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
And with that, I think we can now go back to only talking about Gingerbeast here. Because those that want a new ROM now have someplace to go and discuss it!

(Nonetheless, I'm keeping a backup of the beloved Beast as a fallback.)

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
*silence* lol :-D
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
Still my favorite rom for this phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] buzzboy:
This Beast keeps re-emerging from the Shadows.

Agree great Rom. A classic.

Although TalonRom is the worthy Successor.....for now.

can u post another please?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
I can PM you one tomorrow. If you don't want to wait or are interested, check out the talonAce rom. Its an update to this and was my daily driver after this one. Veyry stable! The discussion for that was in the talon ace kernel thread, and you should be able to find a link to it in there (its hosted on google code). The only reason I would return to that over gingerbeast is because it has support for AVRCP1.4 :-P anyways either way you can't go wrong.

I can't believe this is still alive, just happen to check in the old boards and see this on front page.

Sorry for all the bad links, I lost so much work/time/sh!t when multi upload went down its depressing.

Its great you guys have an awesome dev like existz to carry on with some nice aosp work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Lol and its awesome that we had your rom to last us months until he started :p

PS when are you gonna make a bomb Tfp rom??
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ephemeralness:
You should totally team up with existz and make the dopest ROM Android has ever seen. Phones would explode from awesome overload, babies would wrangle unicorns, and frogs would rule the world.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Its coming, kernel first. I've been slowly working on a kernel for a while, other than the tweaked boot.img I released. Over clock was my main concern, motley beat me to it with release, just killed some of my motivation to get something out fast(which is kinda fine with me, time is the main reason I slowed down after gingerbeast). Plans are full aosp ics for prime, similar to gingerbeast, then another aosp build with cornerstone patched in since some seem to want it. There's enough Asus builds for now, I don't feel the need for another stockish rom with a different theme.

Me and existz have been helping each other for - going on years now.

Fun fact #487- existz helped me with my very first android kernel ever, one of the greatest guys/devs on this forum.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
+1. Existz is a great one!

But so are you Di11igaf. We miss you and you have always had our deepest respect and gratitude. It's good to see you here again.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Yenupuri:
Di11i,

Just saw your post and wanted to hit you up with a BIG "THANK YOU!"

I have owned my Inspire for close to a year now and Gingerbeast has stayed on it the most. I cannot even imagine the amount of work that you put into it!!!

Thanks for the great work mate! Gingerbeast rocks. Period.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
My wife has an Asus and as soon as I found out di11i was developing for it...I have begged and begged her to let me root it.

She won't let me...she's not into all this and afraid I'll mess it up...I'm like "but babe, you don't understand...di11igaf is over there!"
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Its not really the phone, I have a shoebox full, captivates, inspire, atrix, gs2(sprint), 2 evo 3d's. I stupidly dropped att way back when cause their data was extremely slow for a while. Went with sprint and it sucks even worse. CDMA sucks, sprints 3g is laughable, and Att won't let me back with unlimited data even though I was with them for close to 10 years.

Gonna try T-Mobile soon.

Once I really get some work done and released I think you'll talk her into it;)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Though there is a lot of development going on with O1, I have some special wishes. We know while changing two ext4 supporting roms, if you don't format ext, your applications are mostly back. But boot up takes a little longer. But no developer decisively says so.

Can the developers definitively and decisively assert this that this is an ok method to get your apps back.

Now if they say yes, can they include some script to speed up the boot up and avoiding mismatch problems.

If they say no, then too i would request the same thing. Can they include some script so that the new rom accepts all apps without problems and seamlessly and fast.

I know we can use titanium, but i am asking without it.

I will further come with more level 2 wishes.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The game should save your game. If you mean backing up your game progress, you need to be rooted and use titanium backup (or any other backup app)
