Hi RaduG,

Thanks for another great ROM. Have only come across 2 things:

1) Live Wallpapers don't seem to work. I tried to load the 'Smoke' LWP and it just buried the CPU and ended up FCing. I don't really use them, but thought you'd like to know.

2) There isn't any option for WiFi Hotspot. It wasn't in TG 1.1 or TF 1.2 either. Is there a limitation with that feature and the Hero?

All-in-all, great stuff! Thanks, again... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joaann:
Enjoy the attachment apk :)

Works fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fredouye:
Wow, what a great ROM !

I was still hesitating between TastyFroyo 1.2 and TatsyGinger 1.1, but TastyGinger 2.0 is so smooth that I think I'll keep it forever...

Many thanks RaduG !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rionline:
hmm...i do not want to buy a keyboard! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
Looks really cool and i think it's pretty fast. I added some benchmarks to my thread. It's on page 3 for everyone who cares :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buffer_:
I've been trying to change the statusbar background (the png in framework-res.apk) without success :(

Is it possible for you to change it to the one I've attached (status_bar_background.png)?

Are the status bar icons supposed to be gray or green? (snapshot.png)

I've also found two other bugs, take a look at the attached pictures.

Otherwise its a really nice rom!

/Buffer
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barlw:
Is there a way to disable the low-DPI resolution and just use the normal one? All it does is make the status bar look sloppy (icons aren't pixel-perfect anymore) and seems to slow down performance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I can't get the bug you're trying to show in the first screenshot.

@barlw

No, you can't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buffer_:
The icons (wifi and signal) are sometimes gray, sometimes green.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
That's the normal behavior.

When the device is connected to google, the icons turn green. It's a feature, not a bug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi Radug

Thanks for all your great work.

Does A2SD work with ext4 ?

Best regards,

Henrik

Ps. Will you add gmail to the ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] argoneus:
It's pretty nice, just the colours are weird in some apps..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Install Gmail from the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jayw08:
Hey is there anyway to change the DPI? ive tried LCDdensity changer but no luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andAsh:
Thank you, RaduG! You are the hero! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leimi:
This ROM would be so perfect with normal density!

Anyway great work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheSh4wn:
I have the feeling less apps are using the whole screen than in TastyFroyo. A lot of apps now have a black border beneath it, which is quite ugly.

The rest of the ROM is pretty neat, I like it. It's fast enough, animations could be smoother, but the battery is a lot better than in 2.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elastep:
So I like the rom. Thanks RADUG. You're doing great job!

There is one bug, not critical, but still a bug :)

If you double tap on the image while in camera app, you'll get a forceclose!

Another small question:

When I run neocore I see some strange lights flying round... Is it OK?

And is it possible to somehow enable screen-off-on animation? I mean old-tv effect..

THANKS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andAsh:
That, probably, would be an empty space left from blocked ads.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
this.

also, been using tasty roms from the beginning, fantastic and get better and better radu, many thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Flashed the ROM, it is quite nice but a bit slow. Especially when typing or going back from some apps to the launcher screen (I 'm using Launcher Pro).

Another thing, Froyo used to have a better choice of alarm tones at list on Elelinux's ROMs. I particularly liked Light tone. I woonder if it is possible to get it on this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
@TA123

I extracted the audio files from elelinux's Froyo ROM for you. I hope they're the right ones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
then anyone know extract this to where?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
In case you use third party apps, it's enough to simply copy the files to your card and pick the sounds via the apps you use.

On the other hand, if you want the sounds to appear in your system settings, you have to first create the following folders on your card:

SD card/media/audio/alarms

SD card/media/audio/notifications

SD card/media/audio/ringtones

…and then put the desired files in the appropriate folders.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
buy pure messenger widget. same result, especially if you use the koxx sense theme (a free downloadable skin for it). does gmail, twitter, facebook, sms and phone call lists as you're describing if you use launcherpro, adw or some specific other 3rd party launchers you can use the scrollable widget mode which lets you fling through messages exactly lik friendstream. built in tap to view and respond editors included.

worth every penny. my only absolutely necessary widget that is paid for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
never had smoke work for me on any hero ever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hero user:
downloading

In hope that Arabic support is included

Thanks anyway,, :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeekay:
Facebook, Advance Task Killer, Camera 360 are not running in full screen... i can see a black border... ands its very irritating :(

i downloaded SPARE PARTS... i changes the compatability mode settings... Restarted my fone... still it didnt work... :(

need help... what should i do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aankun:
hi RaduG,

as usual its a very good ROM :D

one question, i try to make boot animation for this but something wrong.

It suppose to be looping at the end but I got black screen?

can you help?

I already attach the file.

Thanks again for the ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
1. If apps still have a black border on the bottom of the screen AND you're not on the first boot it's because the ads are blocked. This is a feature if you ask me, it saves data traffic and the apps run smoother.

2. The main idea of tastyGinger is its built-in low density, so it won't be any normal density version of this.

3. The smoke LWP does not work. Only SOME LWP in the market work properly.

4. ONCE AND FOR ALL, I WON'T SAY THIS AGAIN: NEOCORE is NOT showing all the graphics because it wasn't updated to work on gingerbread. If you want a benchmark, get quadrant.

@aankun

I've always had problems with my boot animations not showing(black screen), so I really can't tell you what the problem is. But it looks awesome!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zhjmao:
reboot until running in full screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] basbroens:
Hi.. great rom,

However... it won't let me install angry birds.. just saying installation failed error 18. Can you help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Open file manager and delete .android_secure folder.

ONLY IF YOU'RE USING EXT-A2SD!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sachinksha:
Adobe Flash Player 10.1

Is Adobe Flash player 10.1 preinstalled with this rom?

Or, can I download it from the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Flash player doesnt work on the hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] basbroens:
Sorry to bother you again.. but no go..

I deleted the folder, but my hero still will not let me install Angry Birds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andAsh:
Try to push it from the online Market.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rovio.angrybirds
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yellasrichand:
I don't know why it is not working, but I am eager too. I have done some research myself about making the boot animation zip file but I don't know where to place the zip file on this ROM. Where did you put the file?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:
Not sure what went wrong but i flashed your kernel and now my phone is asking to format my SD-card. Anyone else with this problem? RaduG do you know what went wrong?

Edit: I formatted the card anyway, seems to work now. Good thing i got it backed-up ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
once again, awesome release. nuff said :)

seems like apps that arent running in proper fullscreen are apps that probably havent been updated for a while already,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] t2k269:
Flash the zip, install MarketEnabler, fake to TMobile(US), install GMail and Google Maps in Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] torkel_b:
Wow!

Power widget in notification back!

My Bluetooth Plantronics headset now works!

140 MB free memory!

Doing the battery calibration and looking forward to almost zero consumption when switched off as with last TF.

What can I say but thanks! A LOT!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kams19:
HI,

Thanks for the wonderful ROM RaduG.

The font size seem to be very small. Also when i open the Three home page - it occupies only a part of the page and the rest is blank - i.e. the page is compressed in a area. The clock, battery and HSDPA icon too look very small.

The font in Google Maps seem very very small - almost unreadable.

Is this happening with all or just me? Can someone help me in correcting this?

Thanks,

Kishore
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks again for a very great ROM! Everything works for me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeekay:
this is what i am saying...

......

i already have done that 5-6 times!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Is there a way of deactivating the resolution hack. I really want to give this ROM a try, however last time I tried I found the reduced size of everything on screen rather annoying (not a benefit but a detraction).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gresham:
RaduG Excellent Rom !

Just one thing , my notification bar does not drag down. i tried to click and drag the notification bar down but it does not move, is this supposed to be like this in GB ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
In which folder can i find the default tastygb wallpaper? I performed a Titanium Backup and its gone now. Its not showed in the wallpaper gallery.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gresham:
Ok after 3 restarts and changing to Launcher Pro, the notification bar now works fine.

the image is the hero app cam stock from tasty2.0???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeekay:
No... this is Camera 360...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxinek:
Nice ROM :), its a little bit faster in Linpack than TastyFroyo, I had 4.4 MFLOPS with Froyo and now with Ginger 4.58, both with 652 MHz...

thanks RaduG :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Wrong. There's black lines on both sides and the bottom of the screen, and the Facebook app doesn't even have ads. It just resized wrong because of the low-dpi I guess. Probably the app doesn't resize right but it's a bit of a showstopper because it's one of the main apps for any smartphone, and it just got 25% smaller.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] torkel_b:
Strange because all my apps including facebook are shown in full screen. Did you do a full wipe? I use Launcher Pro Plus with 5x5 icon resolution but that wouldn't affect the layout of another app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kihome:
I also got the shrunken apps (facebook, rmaps, etc) during first boot right after flashing (yes, wiped all). *BUT* everything becomes fine again after I reboot once more.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] majorpappy:
Not sure what is happening for you, but after rebooting (only once for me). The apps are sized properly. See my Facebook screenshots.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Camera 360 is working fine for me too. Full screen and all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
odd... all 3 apps are fullscreen with me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hoofster:
I've seen this but it only seems to happen on the first boot into the rom after flashing. After a second reboot the apps have, and still do, display correctly. So it's not a specific issue with the rom itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nichotin:
So, rebooting the phone before finishing the first boot setup wizard then (the one where you put in your gmail etc.)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
That's what I did. Skipped the login though... I just let the phone sit for 10 minutes then did a reboot. Then I started setting things up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriso89:
i wanna ask .. i wipe everything even ext part but my apps are still there from the previous rom why ? and in tasty os menu only cpu settings ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeekay:
i might flash this rom again... i hope it works... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rionline:
great thanks, will try and report back!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
Can some1 tell me quickly what music app this phone uses? The stock or MIUI?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] torkel_b:
Stock. And some extra text to be able to post!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriso89:
i wanna ask .. i wipe everything even ext part but my apps are still there from the previous rom why ? and in tasty os menu only cpu settings ? AND CANT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING formated wiped everything even sdcard rebooted many times same thing any solution ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ng LC:
About the boot animations,if u use winrar to zip the file,right click on the file that u want to zip,then select "add to archive",then a window will pop up,select "zip" file type and compression method,select "store" from the drop down list and then put it in ur room and the boot animation should work now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheSh4wn:
Yes, rebooting the phone fixes the black border aroud apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
Cheers for this all seems to be running nicely just wondered if I can make my phone act as a wifi hot spot as my hone internet is off for two weeks : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeekay:
i didnt do this part!

i logged in before rebooting...

NOW... after flashing again... i rebooted before setting any other thing.. it worked!

thanks a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] majorpappy:
+1

This feature is supposed to work on 2.2+, but I've never seen it on a Hero ROM.

RaduG, is it possible to add this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Download wireless tethering for root
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fredouye:
AFAIK, native tethering needs a 2.6.3x kernel

But you can find many free apps in Android Market...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
gps not working for me, and when i attempt to use gps-status it goes in bootloop, i have to pull out the battery :(

sorry, but this morning i really needed it and it left me in trouble.

later i've tried many times and gps never worked, but i didn't get anymore bootloop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
I've asked this question once, and have not been able to find the answer to it:

Can the resolution hack be disabled in this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I've answered your question at least two times in this thread.

#1:

#2:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamesking420:
What is the benefit of low DPI? Shouldn't we be trying to get the same DPI as the screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barlw:
Theoretically it gives you more usable screen space, but in practice it mostly just makes things look weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
in practice that's a really crappy thing to say to the guy who spent a ton of hard work making this and his two previous roms do just that.

Anyhow,

it actually DOES work, screen real estate is increased with the obvious subtle increase in blur, but the blur is really subtle and users are very happy overall with this concept.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barlw:
I'm sorry if it sounded harsh; I'm not trying to trash the rom or RaduG. Aside from this small issue, the rom is awesome and has given me better battery life than I've seen in a long time. I just think it should be an option to use the normal resolution for those (like myself and others) who like it that way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DreamHazard:
if that's the way you feel, why don't you spend many hours cooking a rom with the options you want? seriously, RaduG's clearly spent hours upon hours making this rom work, he's given a breath of life back into the Hero, give the guy a break.

the information's all up here, it's all readily available, you can learn to cook your own roms, if you want the same functionality with regular DPI, go cook it yourself. all it takes is hours and hours of your time, and the willingness to actually get your backside into gear to make it. I'm not saying this to be all high and mighty, I'm encouraging you to actually try it. it's a bit of a slog, but it's worth it at the end of it. you can look at your phone and say to yourself "I made that. I made that and it works. it does exactly what I want."

not trying to sound harsh, just telling it like it is. others have put in the effort, and the reward is far greater than the effort. and then you can upload it, and people will ask a bunch of questions about what they want in your rom, and you'll be able to go "I made it this way. this is the way that it is." and fondly regard your creation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
No need to argue on this guys.

This idea behind this ROM is to come with in-build low-dpi. If you can't live with it, feel free to move to any other GB ROM around here, they all have normal dpi. People can choose between normal and low dpi, and that's the whole point.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itandy:
After trying out FroydVillain 1.7.2, TastyFroyo 1.2 and TastyGinger 2.0, I've to say FV is the snappiest of all. But to my surprise, Linpack says TF and TG are faster than FV (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889299). So is it just my subjective feeling?

I mean no offense here. RaduG is absolutely great in producing these ROM. Just want to know what others say about their experience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Benchmarks have nothing to do with real-life experience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DreamHazard:
no argument, I just wanted to point out that there's a lot of information on rom-building, the resources are available, and people are welcome to make a rom with whatever features they want. I'll probably be having a bash at it again in the near future, I did some minor changing on a rom a while back, and since I've figured out what was wrong with my dev computer, I'll probably be jumping back into it, seeing as there's not a lot going on in my life at the moment. I like to see people working on roms, there's a lot of fun to be had, a lot of feeling, if you really put yourself into it, it's a worthwhile experience... not just rom dev, but software in general. I've been at it for a few years and find it very rewarding.

just pointing out that the option is, as you say, there... it's rare that you'll find a rom that has everything that you want. if you want a rom with all the features that you want, then you WILL have to cook it yourself. the early versions of TG were a bit of a drag because I'd gotten so used to having the CM widget in the notification slide, but the rest of the rom was good enough to make up for that.

I don't mean to be hostile, I just think that people should be a little more grateful for what's out there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
One could equate this to a powerful motor car. On paper it has so much power that it should beat everything else on the road but it doesn't. Simple reason is, it can't put the power down on the road because the wheels just spin.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] torkel_b:
Run it in 5x5 using Launcher Pro for instance and it gets really good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aankun:
put the bootanimation.zip to /data/local using ADB

I find the opposite to be true :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tonyleeloveyou:
Well done.GaduG!

everything goes well,but there is a problem with Google CIME

it won't be full screen after me login google account..

any idea of it?

I've problem playing videos in skyfire. I repeatedly get 'media error 100:0' anybody facing this problem? skyfire plays fine with froyo ROMS. this error I get only with gingerbread ROMS. please help!

yep,i need it to be fixed,too

even i replaced another anmation file to system/bin,but it still black screen,either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisa:
Can this rom work with ext3/4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
with flykernel 11c gps is fixed....as soon i'm not the only one with this issues on flykernel12 and derivative, would be nice if radug will explain what he's going to do about that as soon my message yesterday havent had any answer
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
calibrated my battery today, took it off charge at 1.30pm and it's just died again at 7pm, with only light usage really, I followed the steps on villainrom, is it worth me trying to let it fully charge and die a few times?

any other tips?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DreamHazard:
it certainly can't hurt to try it, at least. just follow the instructions again and see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
should I leave it off while charging after it's died?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DreamHazard:
yeah, it's probably best that way

also, Pratchett fan?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
yeah, what gave it away? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DreamHazard:
Just a hunch.

luvgirl12345: that looks interesting, you can use it with CM7, so it'd probably be possible to add it into the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DreamHazard:
it would certainly be possible, but I wouldn't count on RaduG implementing it. there's a lot to implement. I'll take a look at it myself but I doubt I'll have the drive to do it

And that lovely theme isn't in MDPI either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DreamHazard:
I don't know whether batch resize is a feasible option. I've not tried it myself, so I can't tell you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
Still no screenshots?

I'm special interested in a screenshot from the calendar, the dayview, with a 'all-day-event' planned on that day.

In TastyFroyo, it was impossible to read the event-title in that situation because the density I think...

Wondering if it's better in Ginger.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
I'm afraid that calendar bug hasn't been fixed. (it's the blue strip at the top)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
Oh, yes... I see...

:'(

No Tasty for me, I realy need to see that event-names!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
The Calender looks fine on my hero tho

Be sure to let it do its internal tweaking upon 1st boot, then reboot b4 setting the phone up

Sent via the xda tapatalk app from TastyGinger 2.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] torkel_b:
Hmm, that's how my calendar looks too. And when I check the Accounts & Sync settings for my google account the syncronizing symbol for the calendar is always visible, as if it tries to sync but can't. If I add an event on my computer it is not synced to the phone either.

Will a new wipe+flash and reboot after first boot (before logging in to my google account) fix it? Because I did not do that the first time.
