Brickd question brother what are the advantages of gingerbeead over froyo now that we have netflix an awesome theme like this working gps and a very snappy rom yiuve built what does ginger have over froyo is it that faster or smoother or is it just mainly the cm7 lock unlock crt themes? Just curious from your perspective.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
It does seem to run faster, smoother, and it doesn't overscroll like froyo does. That is the biggest pet peeve of mine about froyo, and I've seen it on other roms too, that you can overscroll infinitely on many menus. There's a few more points, but that's what comes to mind at the moment.

I do have a new JVR base to play with, so I may rebuild GZ again. Still waiting on a solid JVR kernel though before I go back and try GB again.

Hi,

Does this ROM support the higher DPI? When I try to increase the DPI in nitrality it force closes every time.

Thanks so much

Sav

EDIT: Updated this in the build.prop and it worked. All set! Thanks

I never thought I would experience a beauty better than bionix but this rom... oh god this rom. How can I begin talking about this rom...
[Vibrant Android Development] MadNosf:
I moved to this ROM till the Kernel issues are fixed on GZ and love it just as much or even more than the GB ROM.

I do have a question, for some reason each time i reboot the phone, it takes almost 5+ minutes to come back on. I don't understand why this is the case. It happens to my wife's phone as well.

Is this normal for the rest of you? I was on GB before so i did ODIN to JDF and flashed this ROM based on OP instructions. I am wondering if i need to ODIN again or is it just a simple re-flash fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
It should definitely not take that long to boot, my own takes about two minutes including media scanning. Keep in mind that the setperms and zipalign init.d scripts do run during bootup, and depending on the amount of apps and files you have on your phones, can make the boot process take a little bit longer. I typically run around 50 apps more than what's included in the base build, and have a lot of music on my internal sd (about 10 gigs) to put it into perspective.

If this doesn't seem to be the case for you, I would try a reflash. Maybe even a backup, format, and restore of your sd's as a troubleshooting step too.

On both my phone and my wifes, using wifi calling on incoming calls, the caller is reporting voice echoing. Anybody else experienced this? Figure it can't be a bad flash or anything, because it is two septate phones. Any help appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I think that's been a hit or miss problem with WiFi calling in general. Have you tried it on different wireless networks with similar results? I posted that package as an add on because I knew it would be requested, but I only tested to make sure it would work, didn't test it in depth. Hopefully someone who uses it will pipe up with some more info. I don't even have wifi at the house, so I'm unable to test it myself with any regularity.

I mean i have around 90+ apps (barely use half of them :)) but the reboot time has never been a problem ever. Maybe it is time for me to format it and reflash. i will keep you posted.
[Vibrant Android Development] MadNosf:
Actually is there a "better" way or completely making the phone "factory" condition? I mean erase everything. I am having another issue with the GB bootloaders which f'up my bootscreen.

I want to start from scratch if possible ;)

Hey Br1ck'd vvery nice work, just got around to trying it out !! One question though, can the 9 lockscreen mod be used with the GB theme?

I noticed if I flash the theme I lose the lockscreens and if I flash the lockscreens I lose the GB theme :confused:

Edit: never mind got my answer, repeat to myself "SEARCH is my friend" :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] Androidawg:
Been running around with GB for a while. Also re-flashed GCR3. Decided (based on the love happening here) to come back home again. I am surprised how snappy and smooth this ROM is. Maybe it's just in comparison (but it's pretty damn nice).

I have a vague recollection of a foggy memory of a far away time when I used my phone like that.

Br1cK'd, been running this for a coupe of days now and there has only been a select few ROMs that have actually made me say to myself "freaking hey, this one is nice" because everything works just right, it's fast AND smoooth, and just looks nice. This is right up there AWESOME work, thanks!!
[Vibrant Android Development] savkhetan:
Br1ck'd,

Been on GB roms since SH came out with 3.3. As soon as you talked about the frustration with the GB kernel all the little bugging items with GB became immediately clear.

So back on Froyo now and man this ROM of yours is absolutely fantastic.

Thank you so much!

For getting me off GB and for a great ROM with amazing battery life.

would you cook a 2.2.1 for us?:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I used to have 2.2.1 build, called Loki, that I retired some time ago. KB5, 2.2, gives much better performance IMHO. With my limited time frame, full time work and the rest of life that happens, cooking up a new 2.2.1 is not on the radar, sorry friend.
[Vibrant Android Development] lazyb421:
I held onto GingerZen as long as I could. But my OCD got the best of me, and I had to come back to good ole ZenDroid. Love the new release, just as stable as always. Great job once again friend.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I hear ya brother. I have been tempted to just scrap the GZ experiment, but I am still holding out for a kernel. I too was reminded of just how smooth Froyo runs for us, in the right application that is. :D IMHO, this is about as good as it gets for us now, for across the board stability and functionality, until we can get some actual GB source for our phones specifically.
[Vibrant Android Development] 啊喔鹅咦呜鱼:
compared with 2.2.1,

2.2 have only one weakness,

the back light is dazzling at night.

and idk why nobody can solve it?maybe you can answer me.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
At lowest brightness its always been just right for me at night, and off the top of my head, I wouldn't be able to begin to tell you how to.solve that. However, when I get some time in the future, I might try to test the brightness against my old 2.2.1 I have sitting around here somewhere. If there is a significant difference, I'll see if I cant determine the cause or reason for it.

[Vibrant Android Development] draychi:
No kidding when you say this ROM is stripped lol.

I have 4 available ringtones and notification tones :eek:

Other than that though, I think the only downside to this ROM I've experienced so far is the drop down notification window..text doesn't show on that grey BG very well.

The ROM is FAST, that's for sure, even after dumping 33 of my apps in there and taking out 3-4 that were included. I recommend tossing in Titanium by default.. can probably say everyone here uses it.

I'm just about done setting up everything and will start testing a few different kernels on this to see what I like.

Thanks!

EDIT... Hmm, after looking at your screenies and comparing the drop down bar to mine, it seems under 'Ongoing', your text is white.. mine comes up Black and Grey... probably why I can't read the **** lol.

Notifications though, comes up white...
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Is the notification text your seeing from a specific app?

Framework based notifications will always be white, however some app developers write their own color values for that text into the app, not relying on the roms coded values, and it causes exactly what you're seeing. I know it sucks, but its beyond my control on those apps.

Edit - I've written to app developers for apps I use, discussing this with them. One, who had other similar requests, ended up putting in a notification text color selector into his app. Write your app devs if its something besides whats included in the rom, it may get them to change their ways.

[Vibrant Android Development] draychi:
Yea, I see what you're saying, thanks for pointing that out. I use Lookout for my virus and phone location app, and it appears they use a black/grey text for notifications. I opened PowerAMP and it comes up in white. Glad that isn't a ROM issue, I just noticed it after setting up everything on the phone... would have been pissed if I had to flash again. I already had to flash 3 times to get data lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] draychi:
Also in this ROM, when receiving a text or MMS, the screen doesn't light up like it should. I know Team Whiskey had this issue in one of their 2.2 ROMs.. can't remember which one, and I can't remember what the fix was either. It's not to big of a deal now because we have BLN.
[Vibrant Android Development] OldeCrow:
Keep the software installs light!

I added swipe and the samsung keyboard and lost 200 points in quad... no idea what a keyboard could be eating but I removed swipe and the samsung keyboard again and I'm back at a healthy 2520 quad again!

might have to reduce to one KB on my other phone too and see what happens!
[Vibrant Android Development] Shortbus-Driver:
Curious as to what made you change what kernel you packaged.

I know I can change any time,but that's besides the point im just curious to know what differences you found that you liked better over the other beins as I don't know
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Pulled the download, realized it was not flashing the modem. Have this fixed now, uploading now, should be about twenty minutes.

Edited - Download posted, Modem Flashing fixed.

This is not a rom issue, its the MMS application. Non-Issue Issue I guess, not a problem in my book.

Just the way my phone responds to DragonMODz, I like it. Plus its updated much more recently.
[Vibrant Android Development] reyese24:
I flashed 1.1 earlier today do I have to flash 1.2 and if I do I can't cause the link is bad

Edit: turns out link is working my bad but still want to know if I have to flash 1.2
[Vibrant Android Development] draychi:
I was wondering if I was crazy or not.. flashed 3-4 times, no modem. It finally installed it though on the old download.. baseband says KB5 and I have data. Should I just leave it be?

And I was pretty sure that MMS display issue was the app, didn't mean to blame the ROM or make it sound that way. They had a fixed version on that mms app, but that's been a long time back.
[Vibrant Android Development] draychi:
Just wondering which kernel you are using with this for that kind of quad score...
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
You don't have to, its up to you entirely. 1.2 is a different kernel, and some other changes, but to flash it or not is your choice.

Sorry my last reply sounded snappier than I meant it to. I haven't yet found an aosp mms app that does turn the screen on when you get a text, I know the Twiz app does, but I prefer the aosp app. It doesn't really bother me that it doesn't turn on, but when I find an app that does, I'll include it.

Modem woes are fixed now. I didn't notice at first, because I was already on the KA6 modem. Any modem will work with ZenDroid, I just put out there what works best for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] draychi:
Yea, I went ahead and re-flashed KB5 modem itself just incase...even though i have data.

The strange part was, it took me 3-4 flashes for the modem to isntall, and it says it installed the KB5 modem out of your zip. But if KA6 is what's actually included, how did it finally install KB5 after 3-4 ROM flashes? Anyway..fixed now, doesn't matter...lol.

And the MMS deal, I just turn the vibrate on always, and of course I'm running BLN, so that'll do. Hell.. it might actually save on wake-up power usuage anyway lol. The time the screen comes on, and goes off after an incoming text, I can't get to it fast enough and slide the lockscreen to keep it on LOL.

3 days on this ROM now and I have to say it is probably the best I've tried yet. The battery life has been insane. Over 20 hours with regular usage pretty much every day. I don't do music but lots of emails, phone calls, and web browsing.

If the previous poster is not on a post-paid plan with TMO, he won't be able to forward numbers, thus, can't have his voicemails all go to Google Voice if someone calls his Cell #... you have to be on Post-pay to have call forwarding - EVEN just to change your voicemail settings.

The files changed by the lockscreen mod are the *SAME* files that need changed for many other things in the theme... so no easy way.
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
There's not an easy way, but it is doable if someone wants it bad enough. The same answer I gave about the Ginger Theme with the 9lock mod a couple of weeks back. Take the framework from the 9lock mod, inject the images from the AOSP Theme framework into it, and replace that newly modded framework into the AOSP Theme zip.

You will also need to do the same thing for the settings, from the 9lock mod to the AOSP theme, swapping the images from that one as well.
