+1 this is a great rom that runs smooth and better than stock!
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
One of our vigilant users has found a bug where certain apps (gmail, flashplayer so far) will not update from the market. "Bad Signature" error. I believe i may have resigned some apps in error. Solution for now is to remove those apps manually with TB or root explorer and install from the market after reboot.

I will have a patch that will fix this issue out shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
I wasn't so lucky, but it was my own fault. I flashed this late Thursday evening, so I figured I'd take a shortcut and not wipe data, since I was on .7a. Previously, I had moved ADW into the system folder and deleted Blur-Home, but I figured the install script would change that back. The script probably did, but then my old data confused the boot-up process and .8b booted up with no launcher recognized at all. I went to the Market with my laptop and pushed ADW to my phone. It did install, but would not run, so I was bricked. Time to sbf. :mad:

After an sbf to stock GB 2.3.4, phone continually boot looped, but I got that resolved with phone's Android Recovery mode and another data wipe. Then used Pete's Motorola Tools to root phone, and installed X2 System Recovery. By that time it was well after midnight, and I did not want to stay up for anther two hours restoring all my programs, data, widgets and settings, etc. So I just restored my Nandroid back to 0.7a. I'll reinstall the new version on the weekend when I have more time.

None of this was the fault of the ROM, it was my stupid fault. Lesson learned: If you're gonna mess with your system in between ROM versions, wiping data while upgrading is the best course of action. :o
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
Thanks Masta!
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Thats why i wasnt sure about how flashing over would go.. I mentioned it breifly in the instructions. It depends on what you have going on with your launcher.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Yep, you did. You pay the price when you ignore the masta. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Steve125:
So I just gingerfunked my x2 and I must say, I am very impressed. Great work mastafunk!
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
Hi.

Having some sound issues with the .8. When I enable the sounds for Audio Touch Tones, Audible Selection and Screen Lock Sounds they don't work... ??

Thanks, Slim!
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
If your audio is set to silent either via toggles or the menu then those options are greyed out default. Press the volume keys in that menu and they should ungrey.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Apps I've found so far that will not update in Market include:

Gmail

Voice Search

Music (when updating to v4.0.1 Music beta)

Haven't found any other problems with v 0.8b so far.
[Motorola Droid X2] urphonesux:
Have u tried clearing your market data?
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
Got this fixed, not really sure what the issue was. They wasn't greyed out they was actually ava. but not working. I just keep changing the settings back and forth and adjusting the vol. lvls. and they started working??

Now I am trying to get the Auto Rotate to disable, is this a known issue or just a prob. I am having?

Thanks for the mod and all the help!
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Yes, you have to physically delete the programs from the /system/app dir, and clear Market data. I cleared system cache and Dalvik cache for good measure. Eventually they updated. Latest version of Music will not come up in the Market as it is still in beta. Have to get it pushed from music.google.com. Was eventually able to load that also after taking the steps above.

Bug Report

Found a bug with the dark theme loaded....

Using ADW EX launcher, when you long press an app icon, and then attempt to go to "Manage App", you get an error that says... "The application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectiedly. Please try again." And then you must hit "Force Close".

Same thing happens when you go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications, and select an app. So it may or may not be the use of ADW as a launcher that invokes the problem. I'd suspect not, but didn't try it with stock launcher.

This does not happen with the original theme, only the dark. Have not tried the transparent theme.
[Motorola Droid X2] spl152db:
anyone else having issues with this ROM and music players that replace the lockscreen? I can't seem to get my lockscreen widgets to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
hi sorry to bother but could you upload this to megaupload or mediafire please. current link takes to long for a 98mb file. 40mbit line so i know its not on my end. getting speeds of 50kb a sec.
[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
Has anyone noticed the internal SD is now listed as external:confused:
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Take a moment to review the first post that has a list of features...

This ROM includes the storage flip/flop by navendrob
[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
Thanks! Such a newb here, didn't know "storage flip/flop by navenedrob" meant that. I'm still getting use to the rhetoric. Unclear of the benefit though.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
There is a post on this. Go there and it will explain it to you. It was weird at first for me to get used to also.
[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
Got it, read it here... Thanks for the NO-FLAME!
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
I flashed this last night (finally got the dl to complete) and I just want to know if people are having similar issues:

Free ram is constantly at 53 MB or less. 2.3.4 sbf I had 130mb until it went over 30 hrs with out reboot. Nothing was debloated just supercharged.

Updates from market for apps keep giving me can't sign correctly errors. I keep on getting a warning. Can dl just fine but updates don't install. I already did a data wipe of the market and problem persist.

Battery is worst then 2.3.4 sbf. I could go over 6hrs before I hit 80 percent on sbf with this I went down to 73 in 4 hrs. Don't know if the 1% increments are causing a drain or not.

Music skip issue also is worse on this rom for me.

Just trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I flashed this cause my phone was starting to give me issues and this rom has a lot of other flaws for my phone.

Did do a data/cache wipe before I flashed.
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
The updates from market are a known issue listed in the first post. The other issues i have not heard of, and do not experience.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
I have been running this ROM for a couple of weeks now, and have not had any of those problems, with the exception of the market signature problem on a couple of the system apps. mastafunk promises an update shortly to fix that. Look back in this thread for a work-around.

This ROM has been extremely stable for me and very snappy. I am running no init.d scripts - only V6 supercharger. My free ram hovers around 100M or around 25%, and that is while running such background apps as ADW Launcher, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, DSPManager, Extended Controls, Swipe, and Slacker radio in addition to the normal services. You said you are running supercharger. You may want to take a look at your minfree settings.

Since upgrading to GB 2.3.4 and this ROM, my battery life has been outstanding. Typically I end each day with 40% left. (That's if I haven't rebooted during the day. If you reboot, it could read anywhere, due to the inherent 2.3.4 battery indicator bug.) The bug effects stock 2.3.4 and all ROMS based on that, so it's hard to tell exactly how much battery you have after any given amount of time. But even on a day when I use my phone heavily I still have ample battery left at midnight. Could never do that before. I have not experienced the 1% battery indicator to use extra battery in any of the ROMs I have tried that have that feature. As you know, daily battery life is subjective, since everyone uses their phone differently. Also you have to give it a few days to stabilize after loading any new ROM and setting up your phone, tweaking settings, etc.

GB 2.3.4 fixed the music skip for most people. I'm not experiencing any skip at all on this ROM with Google Music 3.x or 4.0.1, while streaming, or playing files on the SD. No skipping on Slacker Radio, either. I'm currently running Google Music beta 4.0.1.

I hope you can figure out what's going on because, IMHO, this really is a great ROM for stability, performance, and battery life. I hate the Blur launcher, widgets, and user interface, but I really like most of the Blur apps. This ROM keeps the Blur stuff, but lends itself well to theming, so I'm really happy with MGF and no longer feel very much inclined to search for "something better". ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Bump v.8c first thread... Maintenance release. Fixes apps not updating from market. If you have already fixed, no need to apply. Can be flashed on top of v.8b. The affected Apps ( Flash Player, Voice, Maps, Street, Voice Search, Market) may need to have their cache/data cleared depending on your situation.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Mastafunk,

Something is still wrong with Maps. I still got the "signature incorrect" error when attempting to update from market. Clearing app cache, data, didn't work. Clearing app cache/data, and uinstalling, and attempting to reinstall from Market also doesn't work (just like before). You get the dredded "Unknown error -8" error when app attempts to reinstall following download from Market. When you get that error -8 message, there is no way to fix that, other than an sbf or loading back a nandroid. Tried manually deleting, and moving app from ver 7a in, and changing perms, but app drawer would not recognize it - even after roboot. With no way to run the app, had to go back to my .8b nandroid, but still have the impropperly signed app, of course.

Also on .8c you have the old version of Android Market. And you get a FC when you try to run it even after clearing app cache and data. However you can reinstall a TBU backup if you have one.

One nice thing about .8c was that you put Google Books back, which I believe is no longer available from the Market. I was careful to back that up before going back to my nandroid. ;)

_______________________________

Much later... I am completely baffled by this Maps problem. Been working on it for several hours this evening. Tried loading several other versions of Maps 5.6.2 and Maps 5.7.0 into /system/app, change perms, double check that owner is OK, and reboot. NOTHING is recognized in the app drawer or in any app menu other than the improperly signed one that came with GBF 0.8c. Even tried downloading an installable version of Maps 5.7.0 from the internet, and tried to install it after clearing app data and uninstalling original version. All I got was a "not installed" error. I have also tried installing a a pre-.8b version of Maps (which should be properly signed) with TBU. TBU freezes during the install process and I have to pull the battery and reboot. I have never seen an app - even a system app - act this way before. Anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid X2] danman421:
I just SBFed to 2.3.4, tried to flash to v8 and got boot loop. Do I need to flash to v6 then to v8? Or v6 to v7 to v8? If so where is v7?
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
You should be able to to directly from

rooted

stock 2.3.4 to MGF v0.8, but you must wipe data/cache/and Dalvik. Boot looping is likely if you forgot to wipe data. See original post for detailed instructions.

Sometimes boot loops may occur when loading a new ROM, even if you did wipe data and cache. In case you need it, here is the standard way to recover from a boot loop...

Pull the battery and boot into the stock recovery by pressing power and volume down buttons until you see the word FASTBOOT. Once you see that, press the volume down until you see ANDROID RECOVERY. Once you see that, press BOTH the volume up and the volume down buttons. you will see the familiar triangle with the exclamation point and the Android. At this point press volume up and down simultaniously again and select "wipe data/factory data reset". Then press the power button to reboot. During the reboot, the phone may look like it's stalled during the boot animation, but give it time.
[Motorola Droid X2] danman421:
Ok, I am not sure I wiped both. I know how to recover, that or SBF but recovery is faster I guess... 6 in one half dozen in the other...

I just SBFed and now going to try and wipe and flash v8. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
My error i had uploaded the wrong file last night it was late. I bumped versions again to avoid any confusion same description as prior release.

bump .8d
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Well not really 6/6. If you SBF, you'll no longer have the new ROM you just loaded. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Mastafunk,

Still no good. Maps is in the zip for v.8d, and it loads into /system/app with the correct perms and owner is root/root. However it is not recognized. It will not appear in the app drawer, or on the app menu that comes up when you want to load an app shortcut. Just like I described in the post above.

With TBU, I was able to restore the improperly signed version from v.8b, which seems to be the only version of Maps that will run.
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Strange i wiped my phone and tried .8d from scratch last night and am still running it today, without issue. My maps is working fine and everything is updating from the market. Lets try to figure out this issue.

Lets try wiping any map data you have in /data/data and any map apk's you may have in /data/app, then lets remove your maps.apk from /system/app. Now flash .8d over what you have and lets see if its still giving issues..

Data for maps is in...

/data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
OK, cleared all data for Maps and checked to make sure there were no maps files left in /data/data. There was no maps files in /data/app, however there were two in /system/app... Maps.apk, and com.google.android.apps.maps.apk. (Don't remember seeing the second one earlier.) Deleteted both along with Steet.apk. Wiped cache/Dalvik and re-flashed MGF v.8d. Made no changes at all to anything after boot. Still no Maps in app drawer. Exactly as before.

I had NOT wiped data before installing v.8d because I was coming from v.8b and had made NO system changes except for restoring ADW EX with TBU. It installed into /system/app. Had not touched BlurHome at all. (Generally not a conflict to have them both there.) However I guess it's wipe time, as that's what you did, and there is nothing left for me to try. :(

Later... Wiped data/cache/Dalvik and re-flashed v.8d. Now Maps showed up in the app draw as it should. Waited for Market to finish downlaoding and installing all my other apps and then updated Maps in Market. That works too. Now I have to restore ADW, tweak all my system and app settings, selectively restore my app data where needed, tweak my minfree values, update Music and Swipe to newer beta versions, retrain "Voice Commands" to recognize my voice, etc., etc.

Much later... Finished all settings & tweaking. All still good and phone running like a Swiss watch. Nandroiding!

Moral of the story.... One cannot say enough about the importance of thoroughly wiping. :o
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Sorry to put you through that :( I tried flashing over this morning and it seemed to work fine again. I am tempted to think it was something that did not get reversed from you trying so many things to fix it.

Good news is that we are getting closer to a final 1.0 release so there shouldnt be too much more flashing. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
No prob - my system probably benefited from a good cleaning anyway. ;)

Suggestion for next update... Consider removing the two new phone tools/web portal apps, and offering them as an optional add-on. They are Phone Tools (personalportal.apk), and WebTop (portal.apk). Those apps don't do much, but you can't FC the WebTop process, and it constantly takes up about 15 mb of sys memory. I have renamed both apps on my phone to see if there are any ill-effects. So far, none noticed.

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
I may make phone tools optional, and actually does a great deal.. It lets you access your phone from a web broswser.. push files to and from , send/check sms etc. The other one came with 2.3.4 update and im sort of holding out hope it has some sort of use in a future upgrade sort of like the web top on other moto phones.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
I thought those two apps both came with 2.3.4 and were tied together. But apparently I was wrong about them being interdependent. I just did some testing, and Phone Tools runs without the WebTop portal app on the phone. More importantly, and

unlike

WebTop, I see that the process is not called until you use the program, and you can close the process down with SystemPanel after you are done with it (which means the system can also close it freeing up the memory as needed). In that case I'd keep Phone Tools and just remove the WebTop.

Will the backup assistant flashable zip work for eclipse?(1.2rc3)

or will it only work for this rom specific? Been wondering what I need for backup assistant to work on eclipse.
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Hard to say not sure what its dependent on.. you can always give it a try.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Ash,

Try it. All the zip file does is to install backupassistanceclient.apk in the system/app dir. If it doesn't work, you can delete it.

New Topic....

May have found a problem in v.8d. Has anyone tried to buy a paid program from the Market? I get an unkown error, as soon as I hit the box with the price. A paid app pushes fine from the Market on the web. Wondering if it's just me or a universal problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
I have seen that reported elsewhere as a general market bug for the current version.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
I'm not so sure it's not ROM related. I'm fairly sure it worked in v7a with same Market version 3.1.5. Tried a fresh install of Market 3.1.5, and 3.1.3, and also dropped in the MGF v.7a version, wiping Market cache & data each time. All reacted the same. Set up new alternate Google account. Same thing.

Found mention of problem, but can't find any solutions with a google search or forum search. I remember this happened with Eclipse several versions ago, and Nitro found that it had to do with some sort of account signature issue - don't know the details, but he was able to fix it in a new ROM release. Can YOU please try to buy an app and see what it does for you? (You can always get a refund within 15 minutes :rolleyes: )

Update.... Out of curiosity, I just loaded my v.7a nandroid. Market works fine for paid apps. Re-loaded my v8.d nandroid, and issue re-ocurrs - even when using the very same com.android.vending file from v7a. It's GOT to be a ROM issue - no?
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Compare build.props?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Its definitely good to see the flames subsiding in this forum and the help and tolerance of "newb" posts growing....seems like people are remembering they were there and pretty much still are....and I thank arrrghhh for stepping up and helping keep it clean here...

@Robin....even tho u say u have used the same market version have u tried freezing market updater and see if problem persists.?

And I also remember the market issues on eclipse...I believe it was version .5 that had those issues....maybe if it is the rom that causes the problem maybe nitro can point mastafunk to the fix....worth a shot if u can find the problem....

Anyone else having issue? Ill look into it after work tomorrow if no solution by then...no time tonight sorry :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Worth a shot. Thanks, Gary. I doubt that's it, though. As I recall, mastafunk has said that he likes to keep build.prop really close to stock in this ROM.

Ash, I was thinking about the Market Updater, but have not messed with it yet, wanting to take it one step at a time, rather than muddy the waters any more than necessary. Do you know exactly what that app does and/or how it effects how the Market reacts? I've always assumed that app just updates the market from one version to the next, as new versions are released.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I am.not certain ...I always assumed it had to do with either the way market updated itself or how it goes about auto update your apps u have selected to auto update... I just know I have seen some.market problems subside for others and myself after uninstall market updates and then freeze market updater.apk
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Just tried it, and it didn't make any difference. (...and no market updates to uninstall, since I have not loaded any other market versions since returning to the nandroid of a fresh install for MGF v.8d )
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I never had to "load" or accept a market update in my experience ...my market (vending.apk) has always updated itself and I can only uninstall updates for it via setting application management ...it has been a very fickle app for me indeed.

One would assume Google would make it so that this huge money making app would perform well on any version on any rom.. it brings them a lot of money lok

Got any ideas on the Market problem. See my post 252 above. It is definitely something that has changed between versions 7a and 8d that is causing the problem.

Dont worry im still looking into this, it is just going slow as i have no credit card and cant purchase apps anyhow :(

Expect some news later today..
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
I think its more of a visual update, maybe for ICE, but Im using it without problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Market seems to be acting screwy right now. I cannot see any of my apps listed when I click on "My Apps". (This is different than the problem where you cannot buy apps with BGF v.8.) Tried clearing market cache/data. Then did a factory reset and set up my account again. Tried other Market versions. Nothing seems to make it work. All my apps are there when I check the web, and they can be pushed to the phone.

I haven't seen anyone complaining about this in the General Fourm in the last few days, but this particular problem does NOT appear to be ROM related - it seems like it's the market link. Anyone else seeing this?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I would love to give this rom a shot but the link in second post isn't working for me.

Thank you, you were absolutely right! I had previously copied the file to my device using WiFi File Explorer. So it must have corrupted it in some way.

Thanks for your recommendation.
