All I can say is that the basic rule is flash over and if you have problems wipe and flash again. Lots of sensitivity between changes can occur and quite possible that something corrupted something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikedogrun:
Cool... Thanks! Enjoying your ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Nils, just wanted to let you know my random browser reflow issues were completely app related. Fresh reinstall of dolphin resolved my random text reflow issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Great. I am happy since I don't have to fix it HaHa
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
You definitely keep your cool better than a lot of devs around xda too Nils. Most devs don't have any sympathy for people who continuously report bugs when they haven't wiped. You'd think that wiping everything if you are experiencing problems would just be common sense by now but some people just don't get it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Most of the the problems with this rom are app related and failure to follow the OP's installation instructions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I hear ya, I knew it wasn't rom related since it worked in v2.0 and 2.1 and my install process was exactly the same. The radio silence on this thread was confirmation of that haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ianPhillips1:
Nil's , when I move an app to SD I loose the icons on my homepage, if I delete them and add them again the icon sticks but they don't survive a reboot. Any suggestions aside from moving them back on the phone?

Ian
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Some apps., e.g. PowerAmp will not support a widget if moved to SD.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Same problem. Happened with Opera, Google Earth, and others on home screen. Has something to do with how it loads programs at boot. Saw a fix for it somewhere.

Nils' Business GS... It's Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Nils -

The file for TV out, com.htc.android.tvout, is not in the ROM. If I pull it from the leaked Gingerbread ROM for the Incredible, should it work?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It might and the fact is it won't hurt to try it. If it works give me the files you use and I will add to the next release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
3D downloads are still winning 16 to 14

Lets talk about LAG on 3D ROM

My Conclusion: Some peoples lag is other people fancy animation :D

I have tried loading up the phone with running apps to see if I can slow down the 3D animation enough to annoy me. Truth of the matter is with Spare Parts set to fast for both animations it has no effect on the 3D fly in of the home screen, sliding screens, or 3D effects of say the Photo Album widget.

I had some PM's with people and came to the conclusion that most people expect that when you unlock the phone that the home screen should be there immediately. I don't disagree but the 3D fly in would not be a fly in if it was instant.

I guess what it comes down to is if you feel the 3D animations are LAG then 3D is not the ROM for you. Use the regular.

I am also not saying that people are not experiencing real lag which could be caused bu apps installed and running, sync, and god know what else so experiment and let me know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Seems like that is a known problem but I have not figured out a fix for it. When I get a chance I will tinker.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Did a little more homework and apparently the lack of TV Out on the leaked Gingerbread ROM for the Incredible is a "known issue." Cyanogen doesn't have the file (thought maybe the VoiceDialer.apk trick jdmba tried would work again), the rmk40 leak doesn't have the file, and nobody else with a comparable ROM has the files.

Not a deal breaker; but gives me something to look forward to when the final official ROM comes out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lsdozer:
Nils, excellent work on these ROM's, and I am loving your themed Rosie. This has been my daily for some time now. Flawless.

But, I think it is hard to tell what version of 2.2 people are actually using, based solely on the amount of downloads. For example, I downloaded both, and prefer the Non 3D, just because of the "fly in" on the 3D version. Dont know why, and there is no lag just the second of "fly in". Either way, I love the ROM and thanks for the hard work and time invested.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lsdozer:
On another note, do you know why we are unable to change the icons for the notification bar using the Ultimate Online Kitchen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
I am coming over from Magnolia 1.4 beta since development has stopped. This rom seems amazing! I have a couple questions that hopefully you pros can help me with.

1.) I've tried cooking up icons to change the blue Wifi to a standard white but am having trouble. I was successful in changing the boot image and the battery, but cannot get this. Any clues?

2.) Is there anyway to have the App Drawer flow continuously instead of stopping at each "page"? This might be worked into the sense.

3.) Any chance of getting the power widgets in the notification/pull down menu like Magnolia and CM7?

I am experiencing some lag but I'm just gonna let it rest for a few hours to see if it can settle down.

Thanks for all your work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
You absolutely *are* able to change icons. I changed my battery icon that way. I recommend *not* using the Nils' Business GingerSense 1.5 drop down and instead upload the files from the 2.2 or 2.2 3D ROM once you've downloaded it to your computer before flashing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Droidel:
Any way to put in the torch app from aosp roms? It has better features such as brightness and strobe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
I'm having trouble finding the "SystemUI.apk" that is required for the Gingerbread Rom. I'm assuming I need all three files - I had no trouble finding the other two in /framework. Any idea where it is at?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lsdozer:
I have changed the battery several different times, but I cant get it to change the icons such as wifi/vibe/3G/silent, etc...

I havent been using the 1.5 from the drop down menu, I have been uploading my own. Cant get it to take hold.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lsdozer:
Its in data/system.apk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
I saw this but the file size is 139.8MB. The file needed to cook says a MAX of 2MB. We must be looking at different things.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
LOL, nevermind. I knew there was a way to look inside a larger file. After going to "show package contents" and found it. I am now testing out Kingdom 3D after I found out this app has a conflict with Netflix and the Camera. Will check back!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
I too downloaded both, although I have no intention of doing anything which requires another wipe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
ugh, i'm waaaaaaaaaay too lazy to do a fresh flash of 2.2. like, just so lazy. i just don't feel like settin stuff up again lol...i forget, but does this have google apps restore? cuz if so, then it won't take THAT much effort......but damn am i lazy...and sick...and just played a show tonight while sick and lazy, so i feel like death/ass.......ugh. i think it's sleep time. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Yes, it does have Google backup and restore
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Maybe it's so painfully obvious I've never noticed it, or maybe I call it something else, but what is "Google backup and restore?"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mzwood:
This is my first time trying this rom. Awesome work! Downloading the 3d version now.

:-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
When you first flash roms and complete your initial setup, many/all of your apps are restored via the Market. If you allow for Google backup in a rom it *should* begin this process and restore apps/settings the next time you flash a rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] masully1984:
I flashed this over 2.1 and so far everything seems good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfouche:
I played around with a full Sense 3 ROM, besides the memory issues, I like it.

That being said, I really like the Nil's 3D version better for it's speed and stability, but would love to see the mail app from the full Sense 3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
Nils is working on that Mail 3.0 now. Him and every other dev have been having problems with it on the non full 3.0 ROMs unfortunately.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
nils, i had another one of those random non responsive touch screen problems when i flashed 2.2....the screen just wouldn't respond after i unlocked it. weird. had to reset.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nujackk:
OK did a quick search and don't think this has been reported.

But on 2.1 and 2.2 when go to applications and move apps to sd the first try always errors out and say failed to move app, but works on the second try.

Think it also happened in 2.0 but can't remember for sure since i had problems with my apps sticking period. ( fixed that with a fresh install and fix permissions)

But even with fix permissions on 2.1 and 2.2 def get this error on 99% of my moves.

Other then that, rom is great runs smooth and very little fc's or restarts.

Also found that disabling fastboot seems to let the phone actually go to sleep thus saving battery life tremendously. Unplug at 4am and at 5:30pm still have 40-60 % left depending on use
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roborob1969:
Mine did the same thing, so I went under Settings > Location and did a Reinstall (under Location service) and that seemed to have fixed the issue ... for me, at least. Maybe it's worth a shot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bp328i:
Here it is, this zip is for the stock looking battery with percentages. I made this for myself (while at work…shhh don’t tell) and it also has a lot of the NexTheme icons in the framework. But that is a quick copy and paste to get rid of them.

Anyone flashing this, just flash like any other zip but don’t wipe. As always please have a backup just in case.

And to all other devs that I have posted battery mods in your threads without asking. I only asked NilsP because his ROM comes with a themed battery and not just the stock one, no offence meant by not asking.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
If people follow my instruction and put maps, nav and the GPS settings widget on a screen and use the widget to toggle the GPS off and on until the \ appears in the icon each time they toggle off and the \ goes away when they toggle on consistently THEN start maps before nav or anything else that uses the GPS they should be OK..

The issue is the gps does not consistently get to steady state until this is done. As long as the phone is not rebooted or the GPS turned off all should be well.

Being on the latest leaked radio 2.15.10.05.06 does not hurt either
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Not sure but it is the same on all the GB ROM's. Sometimes it just does not register to copy to the card. Sometimes the file is there after a reboot and sometimes it isn't

It has to be something with the way GB is mounting the sdcard for usb.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
No problem. I had the folder in the zip wrong. Back up again in post 3.

That will teach me to rush something just because I had to go to a meeting. Work is very disruptive :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Cool thanks for the clock fix. I found a overclocked kernel to work great but everytime the screen turns off it goes back to 998max. Is there a way to disable that and let setcpu set max?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
soo you're saying that every time we reboot the phone, we have to do that? i tend to reboot atleast once every two days or something, so thats kind of a PITA....but i have faith in all you devs to find a more stable fix for this lil bug! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androidjunkie69:
anyway to get Chingy's mappable launcher bar from Incredibly Re-Engineered. I love the clean look of it compared to the HTC.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
Netflix was working fine for me on gingerbread-based MIUI for INC, just not any gingersense roms yet.

I guess you could, but you'll lose USB and some other things.

@NilsP: Lookin good man! Thanks for the GPS workaround as well!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
confused i flashed the clock fix and the rosie mod and batter % now I can't find lockscreen settings? thought they were under personalize?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tsoms:
I like the idea of remapping Rosie with browser as the right button as an option too
[Droid Incredible Android Development] paintguy:
With mine too.

You're right. The lockscreen settings have disappeared after install of the mod.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
I like it also so maybe after things settle and I am comfortable with the stability.

Thanks. Works nice. Will include in my next release. Saves me the work

Not really. Most times on boot it works but worth trying anyway. If gps cause a boot then do it to clear it up.

Or settings > applications > maps and clear data also works

See above

Your right and it is Rosie that broke it. Will have to play some more. I always worry about what breaks with mods like this and missed it since I stick with the stock lockscreen.

That's why I pay you to test :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Hey NilsP - Could you take a closer look at the battery percentage mod?

My GPS has gone back to instant reboots since I applied the battery % mod.

None of the workarounds are working for me now.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pk74:
Nilsp - spent some more time with the GPS today. I guess the reason I didnt understand what you meant is that there is a GPS icon, and a Location icon...you mean a / through the Location icon, not GPS? anyway, it;s the GPS toggle widget that turns it off/on. I see what you mean about it getting out of sync with what that widget shows. If its out of sync, guaranteed to crash. In sync after you toggle, it works great!

I usually keep the GPS widget on my home screen anyway, so its fine for me. Everything else seems fine right now. It's VERY quick!

I do have another question, is that route66 on the 3rd home screen that wants to download 700mb of map data for my area? And that doesnt even include navigation right? What do I pick to uninstall that thing? 'Location'?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Yup I restored back then just did the clock fix and have lock screen personalize back. This is just my opinion but the battery % mod posted looks lame compared to the better ones out there. Went from a cool 3d battery to a flat battery with % in it, you can get the quick battery widget that looks like that. I like the round % like in optimized gingersense beta 3 or rover theme for cm7.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
It is not causing a problem for me but I have recompiled the apk. Just reinstall the rom without wiping and add one mode at a time to see if it breaks the gps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Gingerbread Keyboard??

I tried the free version in market but I could not get it to work. Request gingerbread keyboard mod or in next release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Download the gingerbread keyboard apk from I think Warm Twopointtwo or Re-Engineered z roms. It's in post two or three of the thread. I have used that apk through z ports and two ginger sense Roma with no problems. Place the apk on sd card then install using a file explorer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Ok same thing? I installed then went to language&keyboard and checked gingerkeyboard, how do you get it to work?

HAHA nevermind, you need to long press a text field, choose input method and then gingerbread
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KlugN:
Yeah it may not have been mentioned specifically in this thread, but the moving apps issue has been around for a while on almost all of these GS ROMs. I forget exactly what causes it but when you try to move the first time it doesn't calculate the app right so it's unable to move it. After it fails, it recalculates the app size and is able to move it. Annoying but no fix yet as far as I know...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k1mu:
Nils, I did that - wiped and installed the 3D 2.2 ROM (since I wanted to try that, and originally didn't since I didn't want to wipe).

Installing after a wipe fixed the calendar crash. That's working fine now.

Now the bad news.

Even though I tried wiping and installing 3D 2.2 twice, it was laggy to the point of being unusable. Calling it "laggy" isn't doing it justice - I couldn't, for example, successfully enter a password since it wouldn't respond to a keypress then suddenly catch up and repeat a character 3 times. It took 10 seconds from pressing the "Menu" key on the home screen before the "Settings" popup would appear. Horrible. Also, the battery was running noticibly warm, which usually means that something is keeping the phone's CPU busy all the time. Bad indication.

And finally, the really good news.

I'm now using the 3D 2.2 ROM and it's working just fine. And I really didn't have to do anything to fix the performance. Huh?

Why it was "laggy" is that Google now syncs installed applications. Once you've finished the initial setup and entered your Google password, the phone gets totally wrapped up reinstalling applications. There's no "sync" indication, no activity indication, etc. - the only way I noticed is that my applications were starting to appear in the "All apps" menu.

Once the application reinstall finished, the load went away and everything was fine.

This application sync is apparently a new feature in Gingerbread ROMs. When you go through the initial setup after a wipe and fresh install, you're asked whether or not to enable it (with enable chosen by default.) Having installed 2.1 earlier set me up for this mass reinstall.

I don't know if what I experienced is what others have run into with 2.2. If so, just leaving the phone plugged in for a few hours to let stuff finish reinstalling may be enough to bring things up to snuff.

Thanks for a really great ROM and all of your support!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Upon first boot, the app restore is part of "Google backup/restore." It's not a new function, been a part of many froyo roms even in ones I've used. Nils even had it in his Z port I believe. If you flash a rom check your Market and you'll see that some, maybe not all your apps are being restored. I usually only allow five or so my apps to restore this way since I'm an avid user of Titanium backup. I'm leaving that "use titanium or don't use it" discussion out of this as it's been covered aimlessly. If you dislike your phone restoring apps upon flashing a rom as much as I do, go to your Market and long press to cancel each app then restore what you want how you want. As it stands, this restore process shouldn't take more than I'm guessing fifteen minutes if you have a decent connection. I never let my apps fully restore via this google restore feature though cuz it seems slower than a reinstall using Titanium in my opinion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k1mu:
This is a new feature to me, but I haven't used many custom ROMs - Virtuous, Magnolia, and now Nils' GingerSense.

It may be that I never enabled app sync - I've used the AppBrain Fast Web Installer to get my applications re-installed, and at least with that you know what's going on so the slow operation isn't surprising.

Apparently you don't have much on your phone or any large applications. I have several apps installed (110), many of which are pretty big (Angry Birds, for example).

I'm sure that my starting up AppBrain's sync only served to slow the reinstall down as well.

This is why I don't like wiping - I don't want to use Titanium to restore as I can't tell then if that's what caused any problems. Having the reinstall done automagically is really good now that I know to leave it alone until it's done.

I'm just putting this forth as one possible reason why people have reported laggy operation. Now that it's done with reinstalls, my phone is performing just fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Ahh, well glad to have you aboard this rom! What you said does make sense as I have roughly 50 apps in total, which would explain my quick restore process. As much as I use my phone, I should have 80+ apps but I download new apps infrequently. To each his own, so long as the rom settles down.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k1mu:
Yup. I'm still recovering things, but it's now mostly back in place and working great. And now Google Music works when streaming music, which didn't work with Magnolia.

It's perhaps a bit slow right after restart while things get started up, but after a minute or so it flies.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
I followed the same path as you, rooted --> Virtuous --> Magnolia --> Nils' Business GingerSense. I have literally hundreds of apps, so complete wipes are particularly painful. (But it feels so good when I stop). ;-)

This time, with the move to 2.2, I stored key apps (like Root Explorer and Titanium) on the card and reinstalled them first. Next I restored apps but no data. Then, as the ROM settled in, I started restoring key application data gradually.

At this point the ROM runs quite smoothly, except for the Market which appears not to know what's really going on during updates, but that's no big deal.

And I finally felt comfortable enough to take my last Magnolia Nandroid off my card tonight after 2 weeks on Business GingerSense 2.1 and up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
1+
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mirrin:
Not sure what this is but

I have 2.2 loaded with the blue theme posted here and under rom name it says im running 2.1 is that something caused by the blue theme?

Also when you do a prl update phone is mispelled "phoen" on the popup when it restarts the phone. not sure if that is something that needs to be fixed...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
A

My typo on the version and Google for the phoen typo. Both noticed, reported and neither a problem.
