Some people are old school like me when it comes to some things. But some could also be much more comfortable doing stuff through adb. As for the radio, that i did the same way u did.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
Same here, IMO it was just easier to put on SD and flash via hboot. Additionally, I'm on the second day of testing the third radio and all seems well. You need to run for at least 72 hrs in order to see the true results...cheers!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
So you just 'drag and drop' the radio to the root of your sd then flash it the same way as a kernal or rom? Clear anything first? And how do you check md5 sums? Never flashed a radio before but my signal has been horrible so I want to give it a whirl. What's the most stable with this rom?

Ahh ... the old adb debate.

At the risk of sounding like a rant (it's not), I have this to say... its a know your roots situation. With out adb, none of us would have rooted devices. We owe more to the early adb pioneers than we know.

You at owe it to yourself, if not them, to at least take the time to learn what adb is, how it works and it's simple elegance. And truly it really is super easy. There is a great tutorial on teamroyal.net.

I couldn't have rooted my wife's mt3g without it.

Besides, if you soft brick your phone... adb is the only way out.

Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to download the Canadian radio to my SD card, move it to the root directory with SuperManager, check the md5 with ManD5 and flash it through hboot! :D

[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Close, but not quite... first, you can check md5 with a free app called ManD5 in the Android Market. Double check it with the md5 posted in the radio thread (or you could check it with adb ;) )

Make sure the the filename reamains as downloaded, including the zip extension.

If all that is right and the file is on the root directory of your SD card, reboot into hboot (NOT recovery) and it should see the file, recognize it as a radio file and automatically ask if you want to update. Say yes, let it do its thing and reboot.

Wipe hands on pants.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
Thanks! So the only thing 'check md5 sums' means is making sure the md5 of the radio file on your phone matches the md5 of the radio in the thread?

Sent from my Royal Ginger powered Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Yes... the md5 is critical. It verifies the integrity of the file. The chances are slim, but if you get a bad download and attempt to flash it... you sir, are fux0rd, as the kids say.

I know I'm coming off doom and gloom, but it really is easy to flash a radio. And I was crazy nervous the first time I did it. After that... I realized its not a big deal if you follow the steps properly and I flash my radio often now! Flashing is an addiction!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
Haha alright. And I'm assuming there is no way to do this if you are rooted via root.sh?

If you have s-off, you can flash the radio.

Ok I just want to make sure because they say the only way to get radio s-off is with gfree.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] edboy21:
Actually, no. if u rooted with the visionary and root.sh route, you can still flash the radio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] netter123:
I've noticed on this rom that often just after waking the phone, the data icon is showing in the status bar briefly, then is replaced by the wifi icon (when I have wifi on). Is wifi automatically turned off when phone is sleeping, and then turned back on upon wake? That's what this icon behavior suggests to me, but I thought auto turning off/on wifi like that was a battery drainer..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
wow you guys wont believe this but after i did method 1 battery calibration outlined on team royal website? i have 15 1/2 hrs on the battery with get this NINETY THREE yes thats right 93% remaining and thats even with a phone call or two

Other projects include his kernel, and work on other TeamRoyal ROMs. And lets not forget his biggest project... real life.

Regarding RG 2.2... I read a few pages back that all his work parts were corrupted somehow... that's a pretty big set back! I also seem to remember reading somewhere he was blowing out the CM7 base and rebuilding from scratch... but that may have just been a beer induced dream I had.

Yeah, I dream about my phone and XDA... doesn't everyone?

I had the vibrant before coming to this phone and I have to say that this was the first rom I put on my mt4g and I have found it to be completely bug free (a signal drop here and there). Blew my mind. Thanks for such a stellar rom. Couldn't ask for anything more. Over in the vibrant section 2.2 and 2.2.1 is the only thing they have that's fully functional. I feel that there is no need to have anymore updates to this rom imo. Maybe a few updated themes. (Looked but couldn't find many). Stellar job on this.

Ok guys, head of Team Royal web development and head of Testers here.

1. As of a few hours ago when I talked with him, CK is alive and well.

2. He lost everything some time back and has been rebuilding.

3. He's uber busy.

4. OCD/Perfectionist that I'm convinced he is, CK won't release till it's good and ready.

5. With RoyalKnight stepping down from our team as full time head, CK has taken over as Team Lead and has been assisting with everything.

F. I'm kinda tired

7. 2.2 is in the works but not even to beta testing yet, meaning I haven't seen it. I will know before just about anyone else if it'scoming down the pipeline.

H. Good night, we are hard at work and will have it out as soon as it's ready. :-)

I. Thank you for your patience.

10. I love numbered lists... Call it a Deadpool thing...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
First of all id like to say sorry for keeping updating my new post calibration battery statuses but im in awe of the batt life im getting. the whole start of my quest for better battery life began a few days ago when i was getting about 12 hrs from a full charge to dead. now with the team royal method 1 batt calibration (which im not even done doing cause the last step is a second running battery down to 1% and then do a phone off charge for 6-8 hrs) I just checked my battery status and im on 36hrs 14mins with 67% battery left including about 1 hr 15 mins of talk time maybe a bit more. and i even played android drag racing online with wifi on for a bit.

Simply amazing. i didnt think these phones were capable of this kind of battery life if for no other reason than the processor sizes these things have now a days.

Again sorry for the repeated battery level updates . like some of you everytime i mention this kinda stuff to Non-tech junkie flash addicts i get the " It's just a phone " response. Thanks again team royal for such an epic experience.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] itzzspencer:
thanks for the update lantern! sucks that he lost everything. I'm glad other people are as much in love with this Rom as i am. I tried the other roms that have been active lately, and it never feels as smooth as RG 2.1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] yoyoma123:
I agree. =]
[myTouch 4G Android Development] silentsnow31802:
I have been running this rom for some time now. So far it is my favorite by far. Nice and stable, quick, and great on battery life. Only issue I have had is sometimes when the phone sleeps it will not come back on until I pull the battery and reboot. The bottom 4 buttons (home, back, and such) will light but not the screen. Digitizer is also un responsive.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
I was just wondering if there is a way to get the GPS to work without turning it on and rebooting my phone? I use GPS status to update my agps info but it still can't track a signal. Once opened after a reboot it works almost instantly. I don't care to reboot my phone as I hardly use the GPS, however its just really annoying when you need quick navigation to somewhere unfamiliar. Sorry if this has already been answered but I couldn't find anything other than just rebooting. Thank you!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] anthonya1g:
@rayne127, hey its probably your phone (or when you flashed it you probably didnt full wipe it) because I just checked and it works for me. No need to reboot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
Google ;P
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
Well that just sucks. I've flashed two times, each after a full system wipe, cache and dalvik wipe. Each time GPS still doesn't work without reboot. This was a problem on cyanogen also. So sad :( lol guess ill just have to keep playing around with it :/

This rom is very efficient, responsive and smooth with faux123's 2.0.6 SV kernel. I can only imagine what the improvements in version 1.3 will produce.

hmm, that's weird...:confused:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
working on it right now ... me and royal are updating to baseline RC2 that came out last night ... just sleeker, better, and faster ... as usual :D

hopefully can go into a fast testing phase shortly..

My interest is peaked. I appreciate all the work you and RoyalKnight have put in this rom. The sleeker the better!!!

No disrespect but I just don't see how you got these scores...I've followed the instructions completely and have never had issues flashing kernels period!!! But with performance set and set to 1.84 I still don't get scores anywhere near that high...I've said it before, quadrant scores aren't that important as long as its smooth and it has always been..

Just looking for some help there

I am currently running RoyalGinger 1.2 with faux's latest 2.06 kernal but im still experiencing wifi problems. When I turn on wifi, it causes my phone to crash and go to the X boot animation, and when the phone starts up again, it crashes when the wifi turns on. So it gets stuck in this infinite loop until i factory reset.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jl1009:
Rebooting my phone didnt solve the problem. It still crashes
[myTouch 4G Android Development] takusan1120:
try this...

When you flashed the rom, did you make sure to do a FULL wipe, including a format of the SD? If not, try it and report back. also, if that doesn't work, follow the instructions for ver. 1.1 (full wipe/format SD then flash rom > first boot, load everything without activating wifi > boot into recovery and load faux kernal from zip in SD > flash kernal > reboot phone) ONE of those should work.

When I turn on the wifi it goes into a bootloop

Still wondering about this:

Also noticed that when using wifi calling, which I don't always, it pops back on upon waking the phone...like its been off as the phone sleeps. Is this just me?

Edit: Looked again and just found wifi sleep policy under wifi settings, advanced. It was set to sleep with screen off, and I changed it to never. Isn't "never" sleep for wifi considered the best option for battery purposes?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Check the advanced settings for your wifi. I think it defaults to sleep when screen off, in which case it will drop wifi calling and reconnect when you wake the phone up. Again, not sure, but I think thats the case.

And my final tally on the new post calibration battery life

A grand total of 3 days 7h 20m 8s with 3h of talk time just incredible...... let me ask now will the battery life degrade to pre calibration levels or should it stay with this kinda life?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
As you flash roms/kernels it can degrade. About every 4-6 weeks, IF YOU SEE A PROBLEM go ahead and recalibrate the battery. No biggie

[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
I haven't had this happen on my phone in a looong time, so I don't recall exactly what fixed it. But I can give you three things to try.

1. Back up apps, full wipe, flash anew, restore apps.

2. Turn the screen on/off animations off.

3. Fix permissions.

Of note, my screen animations are on... so ymmv on option two.

It only happens when you unplug from a charge with the screen off, correct?

Yesterday I flashed the latest radio on my phone. I checked the md5, it flashed fine, and it's been working fine until now.

A few minutes ago I went to go turn my Wifi on and it kept saying Error, so I went to restart my phone hoping it would connect then. Well, my phone froze when I held down the power button so I pulled the battery. Now my phone won't even turn on. I don't get the Mytouch screen or anything. I plugged my phone in thinking maybe there's something wrong with the battery, and the charging light isn't even coming on.

Did I do something to totally **** my phone? Anybody know what I can do to try and fix it?

EDIT: Just tried turning on my phone with the battery from my boyfriend's phone and it still didn't work. So probably not a battery problem?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Sounds like it may be bricked. Is it still within the warranty period? If so you should be able to get a replacement without an issue. If not I would call HTC and see if they can help you out.
