Gingerbread Alpha 1

Note: This update has not been tested upgrading from eclar so if your coming from it follow the back up steps (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24847104&postcount=264). It probably does work but a back up is recommended no need to update to froyo first. Overall it is more stable then Froyo despite being an Alpha (I'll move it to beta status next week once we have bluetooth)

Important Install Update 1 from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25742778&postcount=364

Notes

- What works: Cellular, Data, GPS, Camera

- What doesn't: Bluetooth, Tethering (untested but probably doesn't :/)

- Tethering is not supported or at least I haven't tested it and doesn't work yet (sorry next update possibly)

- Update will format your userdata and cache partition

- Future updates will be large [about the same size] (they won't format data and cache any more)

- You can tweak settings via cynognemod settings some of the values like dalvik-heap are on default (I'll bump these up in a future update)

- Some junk is left over for developers will be removed in a future update (forgot it in a rush :D)

- Kernel source: https://github.com/Idontknow186/Alcatel-OT980-Kernel

Known Issues

- Audio recording is broken in most applications (Fixed in update 1)

-Mute does not work in the phone application during a call please don't use it!! Fixed in update 1

- To turn screen on in the phone press any key other then hangup or predictably you know what will happen (probably expected, don't know if this happened in stock)

- Stay away from Clockworkmod it does not work on this ROM

- GPS config is for North America so fix may be slower in other countries (see update above for european config)

- Stock keyboard is oversized. Install your favorite from the market (should be fine I'm currently using stock).

- More reliable wireless in some cases with Regulatory domain: 14 (don't quote me on it might be nothing :P)
