I really like the look of this Rom (reminds me of my old HTC Hero days) and want to give it a try :D

Do you need to flash a base version and then use OTA to update to GingerMOD v0.8?

Or is there a full V0.8 available that can be flashed?

I went to download V0.8 and saw the file size was just 135mb and am guessing that either of the above is needed.

Apologies in advance if the question has been asked.

Sweet looking Rom 89luca89, well done for offering something a bit different to us flashaholics :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dark Emotion:
0.8 is a full rom (yes, 135 MBs)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amadablam:
Thanks Dark Emotion :)

135 MBs! wow! light! The word update had me concerned but I am downloading again now :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Aquarixz:
i couldn't flash TW Music and Screenshot Service on 0.8

got error message like this

E:Error in /emmc/GingerMod_Updates/TW_ScreenshotService.zip

(Status 0)

all things worked on 0.7 (i used Polaris Office, ScreenshotService and TWMusic) but on 0.8 i can just flash Polaris Office

any solutions?

thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sumpf2:
I saw posts that people flashed screenshot service without error but it did not work. Maybe try to flash the rom again and then the updates.

It is not an AOSP rom so everything should be ok :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Aquarixz:
i have tried to reflash the ROM, always wipe cache and dalvik, for many times

but the same error code appeared :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zidane:
luca this ROM is great, battery life is amazing compared with other ROMs and we have many options in customizing the ROM

just a suggestion, i think it will be very convenient if you would add all the flash zips ( such as TW MMS etc) and all other features in your GingerMOD extras app just how leo has done it with his kitchen.

i know that as you keep updating, the features in the app will start to increase :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cwestpha:
Updated from 0.2 to 0.2.1 and everything seems fine so far. updated kernel to 2.1.2 for fun (still love new versions just for the sake of the higher number).

Only complaints left that I have is the samsung shutdown animation is still left and no Bluetooth DUN for easy tethering to my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Wifi-tethering works fine though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkchazz:
Great rom!

One thing though.. Where is the google maps app???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aalupatti:
u can install that from the market
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jankhner:
never mind
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jankhner:
Hmm. I still have some battery issues. My phone has been unplugged now for 4 hours and i have only 75% juice left on my battery. Only time i've used my phone is when i played Dragon Fly (great game, btw) for ~10 minutes.

Do you have any idea what could cause this battery drain?

Os Monitor doesn't show anything special, "Vpn services" is the only process that causes the load at the moment. On battery settings it says that "Display 55%", Android OS "15%", "Dragon fly 8%" and Maps "8%". Do you think there's an issue with display options? I haven't edited any display settings on my phone.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Did you perform a data wipe from other roms???

If so did your restore (with titanium bakup/MyBackup pro) also system apps data??

If one of thoose 2, then perform a wipe and restore ONLY the apps, and the data of ONLY installed apps, NOT system apps!

For the launcher install ADW Golauncher or LauncherPRO, cause CM7 uses ADW and not Aosp launcher! (Cm7 is custom, not Aosp)

Every release is a full release!

I do it from Gallery, but if you want from settings,

do NOT choose Wallpaper gllery it redirects to TW Wallpaper gallery not present here!

Use Gallery and all will be ok!

Yeah its a good idea and I already tought to that!

I'm not very familiar with apps that downloads via OTA from a repository!

So ANY HELP is appreciated! (LeoMar har the luck of having a dev team that do this for him :D)

Yeah, Have to use another apn.conf from samsung, cause the APN settings are different from AOSP here :-(

Dont worry from next release also dun will work :D

Well games drains a lot of battery on its own and also maps does :D

BUT

Be sure that migrating to GingerMOD you did not restore datas of previous different roms OR did not wipe data!

Also you can use Better Battery stats (its in market or here on XDA search) and will give more detailed information to me :D

nope...

kh3 for a rom like mine (TWless) does not add anything!

If you want to see XXKH3 in your settings simply modify build.prop xD

When I see a rom that REALLY adds something, I'll update, OR When official gingerbread comes out :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zidane:
sorry, im sure i know less about it than you :P

i bet someone else on here can help you with that if there is popular demand :)

Nice Rom, but how i can increase dpi resolution? There's a way to reduce font size?

Or a way to use cyanogenmod dialer.... i want to remove the image and the Google logo from every contact in the dialer application.... the space for names is too small
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
To change resolution just go in build.prop and.modify DPI values :-)

For aosp/cm dialer I'm still working on it

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kawa636r:
Very speedily response luca, thank you, but i must do that after installing or before? What's a good small dpi setting?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kawa636r:
You are great!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kawa636r:
Ive tried 200, seems good but the stock dialer has got a wrong screen setting... better than stock....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aly19:
Whenever I open the phone app on the gingerbread launcher it always opens to the contacts tab by default.

Is there any way I can make it so that when I go to the phone app that it goes to the dialer instead of.contacts first?

thank you

bootanimation

Can someone please post the bootanimation soundfile. It's great!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Droum:
Strange... could you guys verify if you have charging animation when phone is powered off? The phone is charging, but the samsung animation just doesn't work at all.

Using latest version of this rom, always thought that this samsung animation was completely rom independent.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
@Dorum

I've removed that! As its all unnecessary samsung stuffs!

@aly19

Its the normal behaviour of AOSP launcher!

You can always make a dialer shortcut...

@kawa636r

its because it does not support mdpi...

search for a dialer like that I think!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kawa636r:
Hi luca,

With this Rom i notice an high battery drainage compared to miui one. I have the same apps and the same configuration.

Can be kernel related? I've tried to recalibrate battery with the charger in, but the trouble remains.

Its not very high, but much more than miui or cyanogen...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Battery calib has to be done after charging to 100% the phone (you can find the calib battery tool in GingerMOD extras!)

I have a very good batterylife, you can try other kernels maybe!

Have you tried to flash the update through recovery?

Came from CheckRomV4 (had CM9 before that).. flashed this got into a boot loop. The phone loops on the bool logo (not boot animation).

Can't boot into recovery either. Now downloading Stock KK5, will try this after flashing stock.

Just wondering why it broke recovery.

hey lucas!

Are you working on your ICS AOSP project???

if yeah, pleeeeeeeeeeeease, let us be your alpha/beta tester, we could send the bugs!! uahuhahuhhuauhaha

Don't know, just that I trust you doing a better job alone than all CM9 team (just compare gingermod x cm7 - gingerbread)

=D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] victorwalter:
+1.. waiting for luca's ICS...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Hi all guys, right now i'm not working at all LOL xD

You know...real life...exhams...done one Wednesday, will have another in 2 weeks and another 2 by the start of next month...

BTW I still have no sources for aosp to work on (the CM9 team is still working on it) so even If I had time, I cannot work on that sorry...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antonis9891:
Just a question, luca I would be grateful If you could answer or anyone else who knows it.

I'll try to be conceivable giving an example about samsung ics roms, full themed to be similar to pure ics ui. I think that this way you're going to follow right? One stock rom, but close to aosp, right?

So, the question is, how do you manage it?

I mean, I don't think so that there's the possibility to replace the touchwiz apks (like contacts.apk, phone.apk, settings.apk, in which there isn't vanilla android ui, but touchwiz ui) with the corresponding aosp apks taken from CM9?

Am I right?

So, all you can do to remove all the touchwiz UI, is to take these apks from samsung based rom and apply a theme on it?

And all the transition effects etc are changed through the framework-res file?

I tried one 4.0.3 samsung themed rom, but It didn't had Greek languge in whole interface, for example at settings menu, It has English, and thought that it's a themed rom, not fully native ui. So the themed .apks are in English only.

I hope I am understandable and someone make it clear for me, because I really don't like touchwiz UI in android 4.0.

Thanks

I wish you luck. My last one is on Monday :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antonis9891:
I'm sorry but I don't think I understood.

So it's a real port of the aosp apps, not just a theme?

Samsung oneri is a samsung model?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dark Emotion:
I think he meant to say: I Will do it pure Aosp not rom based on samsung one!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antonis9891:
Though I think it's based on samsung stock roms, in order to contain tv-out, hw codecs etc.

I am not a programmer, that's why I can't understand.

Anyway, I am looking forward to luca's ics rom, whenever the source code is out and he has plenty of time to do it.

Ouch I made a mistake. I installed Thunderbold! 2.4.1 without carefully reading that I could undo it. I notify more drain with it so I would like to undo it.

I use this wonderful Rom with Phenomenal 4.0

Any ideas? Thanks!!! (euhm no, I did not make a backup)

edit: fixed it. kernel boot cleaner, reflashed rom, reflashed modem ki4 reflashed kernel, reflashed wifi fix (for mschapv2 problem) done...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djngal:
Hi guys,

I flashed today gingermod 0.8 and i run into a strange issue that prevents me from using this rom that looks great.

Coming from CM7 did a titanium backup, went into recovery, wiped everything clean, installed gingermod, booted fine. Then i went to restore ONLY my user apps and their data (nothing relating to system stuff in order not to mess things up).

Titanium said that restored succesfully, then did a reboot.

When coming back the apps were there but none of them had the data previously saved by titanium! I have a few apps that restoring their data (like financial logs) is absolutely necessary.

Luckily for me i also had a nandroid backup which i restored and im in CM7 again now.

Coming from early days of android with the legendary HD2 and having flashed a million roms this is the first time i encountered something like this with titanium. I even tried a selective restore of some crucial apks from the same nandroid backup i use now, through titanium's "extract from nandroid backup"

any suggestions?? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rbalu72:
Just a wild suggestion... may be you can restore only data component of your nandroid backup (i do this between ROM upgrades and i usually get all my user apps, never noticed any loss)...

If this doesnt work you can always go back to your CM nandroid backup anyway :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Hello All guys!!! :D

I have a little free time to spend here so I decided to reply to the lasts posts :D

If you still have some question not answered please repost it or link it :D

I adjusted the file time ago, redownload it and try, worked for me :D

Probably you did not wipe??

I WISH BUT I CANT xD

Not until I dont have sources on which work...

About the work, Really its not comparable...theamHacksung is doing some GREAT HIGH LEVEL DEVELOPMENT!

Without them We have NO Aosp/CM7/MIUI/Cm9/ICS... We will be stuck to samsung roms... (wich really I DO NOT LIKE!)

With ICS things will be more mature so the concept of gingermod or a hypotetic ICSmod (Samsung reduced to Aosp) will be simply unusefull, so I'll concentrate on giving real NEXUS experience to SGS2 (PURE aosp, nothing more nothing less)

Sorry for not responding your and gokhanmoral via PM but had no time xD I'm responding now to all!! xD

Allora fai un wipe dei dati dell'app SMS e poi installa quella samsung, se da problemi riprova un wipe e andrà

I really DONT suggest to flash scripts OTHER than what I (or any rom developer for his own rom) provide :D

Not because its bad, but simply a rom is also in an equilibrium to be reliable and fast :D

I always use TB to do my tests and fly from a rom to another xD Always worked well!!

You should try to see if your app is in latest release, try doing again your backup from CM7 and restore it!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
I have one !! This

It would be cherry on top of ginger if you add these kinda mods :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
For. Motorola commands i was working on restoring the UK support... i removed them also on 4seasons for this :(

For other 2 I'm sincere, wuould deviate the concept of the rom to have as stock as possible Android...not sure if I explained well, but don't belong to this concept xD

hey fella sorry to bother you but do you know how the freaking hell i can update my jkay mods? i tried the old fashion way by deleting the old one and flashing the new version,(well the 13.4.1 one) but it does not seem to work...does anyone freaking know please
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AJ.Rockwell:
I unfortunately switched from Ginger to CheckRom, however I can tell you one thing - JKay mods are based on the ROM's base release - according to the changelog, it's XWKK5. The only JKay mod that will work is the one for this ROM base. According to JKay's thread, you can also use the newest version - 13.5 to theme your ROM.

Try removing JKay (make sure you delete app cache/app data in the app manager as well), wipe cache and dalvik, reboot, enter recovery again, flash JKay 13.5, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot again. Then you should be all set
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
You did explain well. And i didn't mean to request you to deviate from AOSP goal. May be as extras under OTA so that people who needs them can use and others can stay away? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheMatrix2000:
Many many thanks. It works just great. :):)

The developer of PDroid said that some other guys have also problems with the patch on Windows XP. He said the Linux patch should also work on my Apple's OS X 10.6. as it also is a .NIX system. I try that later when i have some spare time and let al know. That is, if anyone is interested of course.

Thanks again. ;););) :):):)

Great rom first of all. Currently using siyah kernel and must admit this is one fine piece of art. Put the two together and magic. What i would like to know is can i upgrade the jkay deluxe settings? I know i already asked this question and someone did give me a guide but that unfortunately did not work. It is not a big deal but i would like to flash a theme which has the latest jkay and when i do it, it works great. But once i set up my settings in the deluxe settings app and then i reboot my phone the app reverts its settings..Has anyone managed to update to the latest jkay and if you have can you give me a hand please? Much appreciated.

And thanks again for this great rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KMAngelo:
I have the same problem, but i have found a workaround. Once you have set your settings in deluxe settings - open Titanium backup and backup the app "deluxe settings". Now when you start your phone or its rebooted you just enter titanium backup and restore data for deluxe settings and then open it. Now it should become as you have set it ealier. I know its not a fix, but only take 10 sec so just as good

I had a very weird problem this morning.

I snoozed my alarm (lazy :P) and when it went off again the entire screen was flipped upside down and back to front and all of my touches were not being recognised in the correct place...

Did a full wipe originally, flashed the rotations extra (as it says its stable) and its been fine usually... Just randomly did it this morning.

Had to do a forced reboot..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
The 'reverse portrait mode' is because of fancy rotation mod itself. If you use CRT off effect, you can see that in the effect, whole screen is inverted first before screen turns off.
