[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] GermainZ:
GingerDX

Intro

This project is a continuation of doixanh's personal ROM, known as GingerDX.

("Ginger" as in "Gingerbread", and "DX" as in short for "doixanh")

Brought to you by TeamFun:

eagleeyetom, djnilse and AChep.

I (GermainZ) am building GingerDX based on bieltv.3's latest sources, with permission from both TeamFun and bieltv.3.

(You can find the original GingerDX for the X8 here)

As set in stone by doixanh, the main goal is to have a fast, smooth and lightweight CM7 based ROM with some special features.

Before we begin:

package gingerdx;

import disclaimer;

public class GingerDXDisclaimer extends Disclaimer {

/**

*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* spontaneous combustion, or any other host of cosmic penalties
* which may befall you, your family, or your phone.

*/
public GingerDXDisclaimer(){
warranty.set(0);
}

}

GingerDX now even has its own IRC channel!

• Type the number in the dialer

• Same in Mms, there it just calls the number of the chat/sms you're reading

Known Bugs

CM7's bugs.

System ringtones must be selected using ES File Explorer (default ringtones are in /system/media/); make sure to enable "Root Browser" in ES Settings.

Install Instructions

Install a CM compatible kernel (hell_lock's or Rafael.Baugis' kernels; tested with hell_lock's first kernel (first post) and Rafael.Baugis' test CM7 kernel)

Download GDX, as well as the CM7 Basic kernel and (optional) GApps;

Copy the files to your SD card;

Reboot to CWM;

Install the CM7 Basic kernel;

Wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache;

Install GDX;

Flash GAPPS (* If the GAPPS aren't installed correctly, mount /system before flashing the package);

Reboot & enjoy!

Themes

NOTE: We are not responsible for system instabilities caused by themes

GingerDX natively supports T-Mobile themes. You can find other themes in the list of available T-Mobile themes in XDA Android's theme sticky.

Download the theme of your choice onto your phone and use Theme Chooser (included in GingerDX) to select theme.

Notice

Very important. Read all before posting questions!

1. This ROM is based on doixanh's personal ROM and continued in the same philosophy to keep it as lightweight as possible. You can report bugs in this thread and suggest additions, but understand we're not obligated to fix or include them. We'll fix what is needed, and we'll include what makes sense.

2. We are

NOT

responsible for any bugs caused by custom-made fixes/additions/tweaks. You use them at your own risk and responsibility!

3. Regarding the copyright branding at the bottom in Lockscreen: We will

NOT

remove them nor provide any option to disable them. Don't PM/Post to ask for the removal or nag otherwise.

4. If you have battery drain, try the following:

Clear battery stats in recovery.

Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.

Turn OFF 'Allow mock locations'.

Don't set brightness too high.

Don't install too many unused apps.

Turn OFF WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when not in use.

Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past).

5. If you still have battery drain after following Step 4, try:

Full wipe in recovery, re-install GingerDX.

Use Stock ROM for several days to see if the battery problem is caused by GingerDX or not.

If it doesn't drain, try installing one of your apps, test battery for a day, install another one, and test.

and so on...

That way you will know what's the cause of your battery drain.
