RoyalGinger is built and compiled from CM7 source code with lots of the CM7 extras and other assorted bloatery removed + a custom kernel & numerous tweaks and optimizations added in. It's sleak, it's mean, and it's fast.​

Thank you to: Infinitybiff, XxKolohexX, ChromerSmith, Kingklick, Firerat, Cyanogen, HTC, Google, Dumfuq, Houka420, The Entire CM Team and contributors and of course the guy that made this all possible JesusFreke. We wouldnt be where we are now if it wasnt for him.​

=====================

Release Name: RoyalGinger

Release Version: v3.0

Base Firmware: 2.3.4

Kernel Verison: ckisgen-AOSP-smartass v2.0.1 Kernel

=====================

I always recommend a full wipe (data and both caches) before flashing this ROM!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED/READ ME:

1) In Spare Parts - Set Window & Transition animations to 'Fast' or 'OFF' .. this will greatly speed up switching between apps, etc.

2) TURN OFF live wallpapers if you experience any sorts of odd/unexpected behavior

3) If you are using setCPU - try uninstalling that (and rebooting) if you have out of the norm issues .. this app seems to cause some weirdness with a small fraction of users device

=====================

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS / RoyalGinger v3.0

- Download the ROM and throw it on the root (main folder) of your SD card

- Boot into recovery

- Wipe data

- Wipe cache partition

- Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)

- Install from zip / choose zip from SD card / flash it!!

- (optionally) You can let the phone settle for 1-2 mins on initial boot up. IF you are using setCPU, I strongly recommend a fresh reboot and a 1-2 minute settle before auto detecting clock speeds. (see below for more details) I​

Enjoy your wings :D

HAPPY FLASHING!!

((IF YOU RUN/USE setCPU : now you can open setCPU, press the menu button, select 'Device Selection', press 'Autodetect Speeds / Recommended' .. hit the OK prompts ... there's like one or two ..set your min/max clock speeds and governor and press 'set on boot' (I use the default smart ass gov, 1.1gHz max 245hz min ... this seems to be the best balance of performance and battery...AGAIN, MAKE SURE set on boot ISN'T ENABLED/CHECKED IN ROYALGINGER SETTINGS -> PERFORMANCE -> CPU SETTINGS))

=====================

This should be common knowledge by now but if you want to report an issue make sure you have a log cat also you should be running a log cat on every first boot. If you dont have ADB set up on your computer follow this very easy guide to set it up. It truly only takes a few minutes. Also, see HERE for addt'l instructions on how to get a logcat. Alternately, there is a handy app available free on the market called 'alogcat' which doesn't require ADB and does all the lifting for you

flashing now. Coming from Gorilla
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Just edited the OP it will sit at the White MyTouch4G screen for like 4 min. Don't worry its not frozen it will boot. It's doing things in the background.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OuncE718:
I ran into this and thought it was stuck. I'm about to flash it again. By the way I am very impressed with the roms you guys have been dishing out. My favorite is Thunderbolt (minus the font) Thanks you guys so much.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
Jk, just read the Nexus S port thread.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dacrannis:
Hell yeah. I've been waiting for stock Ginger without all the add ons. Thanks. Downloading now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
Wasnt able to get it to boot did full wipe on rec 3.0.0.6 let it sit on mytouch screen for 10 min and nothing so just restored thunderbolt
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Does auto-bright feature work?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
mine just booted. first try. full wipe. did take about 5 mins on the white splash screen.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
Hmm ill try reinstalling then
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OuncE718:
Same exact thing is happening to me. I am 3.0.0.6 and i have done the complete wipe. I've been waiting for close to 15 minutes. I"m going to flash back to RoyalThunder in the meanwhile till i can figure this one out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
Hmmmm....

might need to flash this when i get home...

so this is as close to a vanilla 2.3.3 we can get?

:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] acureto:
i too was not able to get this to boot. its still sitting at the White MyTouch screen for more then 10 minutes now. i do have the 3.0.0.6 recovery installed as well
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
Try 3.0.0.5
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OuncE718:
I'm currently booting back to RoyalThunder, then I'll try downloading RoyalGinger again. Maybe we got a bad download since others got it to both. We should redownloading.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
3.0.0.6 is 3.0.0.5 and 2.5.1.4(2) it comes with both.. if u wanna flash a froyo based rom flash 2.5.1.2 through rom manager
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I meant to sound more vague and to mention to check your thread, but I forgot, whoops! Thanks for the clarification.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jayngo:
Note, if anyone was using the previous nexus s rom by jaywan you can just flash right above it, no need to wipe, been working well for me
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krat0s123:
Same thing happens on Jaywan's Nexus S 2.1 ROM.. Just thought I' throw that in there..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] motoyola:
hmmmm so as i stated in page 16 or 17 that the LED flash stopped working for me. I tried redoing everything and did not fix it. I tried a different kernel but still no luck. It all started when i tried playing with the torch and making it brighter, pressing ok withthe warnings and stuff and after a few seconds it stopped working :( can anyone help me to put it back to stock so i could take it back to tmobile and get an exchange for it :) thanks for your help.

BTW i love this ROM :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Ouch... That's why I disabled DeathRay Mode in my CM 2.0.0+ kernels... I just don't trust it... Your LED is burnt... Read how to unroot from here and go exchange for a new one from T-mobile...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
check out the android development section (this thread is in it) or the Q&A section.

many different threads on this specific topic. different methods, etc on getting back to S-on / unrooting
[myTouch 4G Android Development] motoyola:
lol i found it i turns out i just had to rename it and reboot to bootloader for it to work. I was trying to apply it as a zip from sd :)

i will let you guys know if it will make the flash work again or not. If it does then something need to be checked out in either kernel or rom

EDIT!

*****verdict on the LED flash: Hardware failure, i called T-mobile and they dont have any answer for it lol. I hope they would replace it :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
This is probably the wrong place for this. But the "speed dial" functionality in the sense rom is a great feature. Is there any way to add that to the dialer in this rom? Frankly I'm surprised it is not a part of any stock android build thus far.

Again, probably the wrong place, but I would love to see that added.

JIC- the speed dial I mention is the press-and-hold function that has been standard on most phones for years.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] takusan1120:
FFC Issue

First off, i just wanna say that i am in LOVE with this rom, it's amazing, smooth, fast, and everything i need out of a daily user rom. i have, however, encountered a single problem, with the ffc. it seems as though using the ffc in video calls is not an option. just thought i would throw this out there, as it's a feature i use quite often. thanks again!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ya dude this is the top of the mountain as far as ROMs go for this device IMHO..I think I heard Tango was working w FFC but not positive.

and just so you know I can assure you we have a very capable and dedicated team of developers working hard on this ROM to make sure its the very best it can be. this is only version 1.1 and 1.2 is going to drop extremely soon. I'm testing on it as I type this and its even faster and smoother than 1.1 as promised.

all bugs and issues will almost certainly be ironed out asap. I know royalknight reads these forums daily but I'll bring this to his attn and make sure the devs are working on this. chances are they already are.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks guys for all your comments in trying to make this ron the best thing around. I heard your cries and I will get right on these for v1.2 even though I have my testers using a 1.2 already that I sped up drastically. I will add the fixes to theses issues. I am all about pleasing the user. I love vanilla roms and gingerbread is freaking awesome so I will keep trying to make this rom better and better. 1.2 is already smoother and faster then 1.1 and my testers can vouch that its AMAZING. Lol. Anyways thanks foe your dedication to this rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxpada:
been my daily driver. hopefully this we will b mytouch 4g equivalent as sparksmod is to g1

Faux123's 2.0.3 lv kernel is very crisp and responsive this morning. Curious if your testers are using this version of the kernel?

FWIW, Wifi signal appears stronger as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yep - I've been on faux's 2.0.3 .. the wifi driver was updated in 2.0.2 and the video driver was updated in 2.0.3 .. among a couple of other tweaks/enhancements i believe. i've noticed a small improvement in wifi performance since 2.0.2

everything is smooth as could be over here. verrrry nice.

also with the build.prop updates to the hsdpa in 1.2 - i'm seeing an improvement in 4g signal/data. it's not like a huge night/day difference but it's noticeable and a nice little bonus. gps is supposed to be somewhat improved also with this but i haven't really been able to do a lot of testing on that. i did notice that loading directly into google navigation - i was able to lock a satellite sitting on my couch .. which usually even when i'm not INSIDE i would have to get a sat lock using maps first and then load navigation .. so i'm optimistic that we may be seeing some gps improvement here also.

three thumbs up to royalknight (as usual), faux (as usual) , and the rest of the team!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
Add another three thumbs up to TeamRoyal. Thanks again.

Looking forward to v 1.2.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Wait what did you just say......sparksmod...um No...the best G1 rom is and will always be BiffMod, hands down. Some of the things that are making this Rom awesome and fast my team developed when we were working on Biffmod. That's all I am going to say about that.

Thanks guys, yes almost the testers that are testing 1.2 have 2.0.3 because Faux is part of the Team we got the kernel a day or two before going public so we could test it. Thanks for the thumbs up. I agree 4G signal and strength is better and GPS seems quicker.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Themoose88:
With faux 2.0.2 I was getting 5mb download now with faux 2.0.3 I barly get 3.5mb download???

Edit: needed another reboot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i don't know why that would be ... it should be the same wifi driver as 2.0.2 and nothing else should be affecting that as far as I know

internet speed tests can be very subjective/finicky and there are so many factors that could play into why it's fast this time and slower another time (time of day, network traffic, server related dealys, interference from other devices, your router, etc)

when you flashed 2.0.3 did you follow the instructions on page 1 of fauxs page? (clear both caches and let it boot up COMPLETELY..several mins..then reboot?)

if so, try reflashing the kernel and this time fix permissions after flashing the both caches. make sure you let it boot completely up and then reboot.

don't mean to sound over obvious but try rebooting your router also to make sure that's not the issue..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
Flashed the 2.0.3 faux kernel. Has anyone else noticed the battery life doesn't seem as good as the 1.3?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
seems better to me. by a lot.

might be time for a calibration
[myTouch 4G Android Development] creepy_maverick:
Hi guys,

Mind if I ask, for comparison,,,this and the MIUI 1.4 april 17 rom ,,,and whats the difference,,,

I would like to switch ,,if ever..

Thank u guys!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
um .. everything? :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Miui, as I understand it is based on looking like ios, this is based on aosp android.

On a different note, CK, a few pages back you helped someone with swipe, the three files you listed, if you don't ever want to use swipe, it is safe to delete all three correct?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] creepy_maverick:
thanks Bro!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kiko130:
haha :D that may have some truth to it

no but my phone is the hd2, which i'm very happy with, the MT4G i'm talking about is a family member, who comes from the iphone world etc etc lol

your post pretty much clarified everything except, if i have to go with dumbfuq's kernel, what am I loosing.. I mean what's the major difference ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I've never played with dumfuqs kernels so correct me if I'm wrong but Faux is going for performance kernels. Dumfuq does more standard kernels.

Again, its over my head but that's how I understand it.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] xSunny:
Ok i tried the gps fix from the faq and everything but my phone will still not pick up GPS location.. Keeps saying location not available.. It was working in 1.5 so i dont know.. =[
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Dumfuq's kernels are stock cm6/7 kernels with higher oc frequencies enabled.

My cfs kernels are designed with max battery saving in mind with advanced technologies enabled and high oc freq enabled. So it's a balanced kernel between battery saving and high performance.

My bfs kernels are designed with absolute performance in mind utilizing all latest technology while holding nothing back!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
correct
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
maybe a bad download or bad flash .. i would just redownload 1.6 and reflash it after performing a full wipe and following all steps on the OP

Did anyone's internet connection over tmo get extremely slow all of a sudden? I reflashed RG 1.6 two times this morning and then tried CM7 just to see if it's the rom, and ofcourse it isn't the rom :)), but man this network just sucks now. I can't even sign into gapps that's how bad it is.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I'm presuming you have the unlimited data plan. Did you hit the 5gb data throttle? After you use 5gb T-Mobile throttles your speed drastically.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] LOONEyRR:
u know whats crazzyyy. im at almost 7gigs on my tmo plan cause im always hookin my comp up to it, and it got capped to like 65kb for a couple days, but for some reason im pushin almost 5g's which is a trip cause my cycle doesnt start over till the 25th! lol. wtf
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
Oh no. I'm only up to 1.5 gb.

Called tmo, and they reset my connection and it was back to normal, but went out again now. It's slow to a point where it's almost not even connected. I'll call em again. fml
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xSunny:
damn i tried the reflash and everything idk whats going on man..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Now that you reflashed, go to the FAQ (link in my sig) and follow the GPS guide. Do the GPS Status app one, then when you are done and test it, I personally recommended testing outdoors to be sure.

I didn't like spb shell at all.....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I tried it recently and wasn't a big fan either. I applaud them for trying to think outside the box and do something unique.

but a) $15 is waaay too much (for the launcher market) even if its awesomely useful and cutting edge and b) for me personally it was mostly flashy moving parts and not a ton of utility/practicality

..I am however surprised at how much I like the windoze 7 launcher ... el oh el. I like the simplicity of it and its a nice clean look that's easy to navigate and get where I want to get. and quickly with no clutter.

this def isn't / wouldn't be my main replacement home app on a long term basis even if by principal alone :D but I still prefer stock android and ADW ex overall.

one of the biggest things I love about android though is that I have OPTIONS. and good ones. when I get bored with one look, layout, etc I can press a few buttons and change it to practically a whole new device.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
Well I didn't pay but still was not thrilled with it.... go launcher is my choice
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I fantastic example of this which I was thinking of today is Royal Ginger vs Royal MIUI vs Royal Mint. With a few button presses you can go from stock Android, to iOS, to HTC Sense. Three VERY DIFFERENT looks and feels. How freaking cool is that. (Though personally, I

HATE

iOS and Sense, it's the fact that I've got options)

Best ROM...EVAR!

Well, CK, I've got to hand it to you...

I've used a lot of ROMs on a lot of different phones over the past number of years, and I just have to say that RG v1.6 is the most beast of them all. I thought I was happy with my Evo running CM7 Final...

...That machine looks like a dinosaur next to my shiny new TMo MT4G running v1.6. I went through and froze all the auto-running crap I didn't need. So fast! My boot animation doesn't even get a chance to finish 50% of the time!

*applause for CK*

One last thing, I've never seen such awesome battery life. I got more than 16+ hours with heavy use, completely blows me away.

To sum up, not to /beatdeadhorse, but awesome work!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
xSunny, I PMed you to prevent clutter here, PM me with further issues and I'll try to help! Good Luck!

I have a complaint.

I am really struggling to kill my battery in a full day. I have been trying to for a week now. Before I know it it's bed time and back to charger, as I use this as my alarm.

I never knew this could be a problem with an android.
