Ok i am hoping if i state this again maybe somebody can answer me this time.. My phone always Force Closes Launcher2 when i go into a app come out a couple times it force Closes Launcher then takes a couple seconds to come back its very annoying.. And just today my phone if in landscape mode gets locked it wont get out of landscape after unlocking the phone i have to restart it.. Somebody please respond to this concern =]
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brian6685:
The main question I had was if I even need to use setcpu. I also use the default profiles so there is really no need for me to have it. I have smartass set from the cm performance settings and I was wondering if that works...just curious so I don't even have to download setcpu. If that makes any sense :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] spazmenos:
hey buddy, its not a rom issue just go to.

Messages > settings >notifcation settings > vibrate > always

hope that helped!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
THIS was the post I was trying to lead you to from my other post ... however, I think the search link that I posted for your particular questions got screwed up somehow...

anyway, CLICK HERE for answers to all of your setCPU and CM settings questions
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I believe that technically, you are supposed to be able to use the CWM restore from nandroid feature without having to do a full wipe first. However, unless I'm in a pinch/hurry, I usually do a full wipe anyway.

And as I've spent more and more time flashing, reflashing, restoring nandroids, etc. day in and day out - my experience is that CWM is not 100% in anything it does (nothing usually is) .. and these days, I like to do a full wipe and flash whatever ROM I want to use fresh (even if I have a nandroid 'just in case' of it). Most of the more setup intensive apps/widgets pretty much all have their own internal backup/restore at this point and I use ADW EX as my launcher so that restores my desktop configuration in an instant.

I just have a much cleaner experience overall doing it that way than restoring nandroids. I seem to have little quirky bugs here and there when I restore. Def not every time and, usually even when I do - they're small and overall insignificant...usually just minor annoyances.

But most of this stuff is kind of whatever you find works well for you and your particular phone. Some people swear by restoring nandroids and not wiping and having no issues.

Hope that helps..

Can anyone comment on the video playback? Does it have issues like CM7?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
No problems, but I had no issues on cm7 either, I.e., with video playback. ;-)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
are those the stock battery and wifi icons? stock font?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
installed and runs fine...now

when i first flashed it went into a boot loop until i pulled the battery

then it booted up perfect

so the Cyanogen menu is still there?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kambiz.aghaiepour:
The sdcard format requirement still doesn't make sense to me. If the deal is that there might be configs on there form other roms that conflict with this rom, then why would you say it's OK to backup the sdcard, format it, and put all the files back? Presumably by the reasons given for the need to format, not all the files should be put back on the sdcard.

I personally have never formatted the sdcard, and have had the same one from stock -> rooted -> cm6.1.2 -> iced glacier -> gorilla DHD -> cm7 and have not ever had any issues related to the contents of the sdcard. I've also never told any of my apps to run off the sdcard, and only store music, pictures and various backups (clockwork and titanium backups).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
it worked on mine without formatting the sd card
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
No, theme is sculpted 2.0 and I cannot remember font but can forward if wanted.

BTW, I did not format SD card.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OuncE718:
I FINALLY GOT IT TO BOOT UP. I DID THE COMPLETE WIPE, FORMAT BOOT (LOCATED IN MOUNT), FORMAT SYSTEM (LOCATED IN MOUNT) AS STATED BY ROYAL

THE CRUCIAL STEP I THINK WHICH DEFINITELY MADE IT WORK FOR ME WAS DOWNGRADING THE RECOVERY IMAGE TO THE OLDEST IMAGE, THEN I UPGRADED IT BACK TO 3.0.0.6 (EVEN IF YOU HAVE 3.0.0.6 RECOVERY IMAGE ALREADY INSTALLED STILL DOWNGRADE, THEN UPGRADE BACK TO IT). DO THIS BEFORE YOU DO THE COMPLETE WIPE AND FLASH OF ROYALGINGER!

AFTER THAT IT SHOULD LITERALLY TAKE ABOUT 4-5 MINUTES TO PASS THE WHITE SCREEN.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
naw thats ok...but thanks..not big on themes...but thought it was cool
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
is it just me or does each reboot seem to take long too?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] trinitouch:
Yes with setcpu installed and without reinstalling the kernel
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
Yes it does. Not used to it. ;-)))
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
it's not like i turn my phone off ever just, if the screen freezes its weird that it takes a while
[myTouch 4G Android Development] charlessiri:
Thanks ckisgen followed your instructions and I'm flyin along on my wifi as I type this. Haha. Now I have the perfect rom thanks team royal!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
I did everything BUT format my SD card and it worked first time. Didn't even take 3 minutes to get off the MT4G screen.

Just going through the setup now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
It is not always a case of a file conflict but more like a data corruption in the disk itself. I have had this happen once before and it was some bad or corrupted data on the SD Card. I was able to open the SD Card in Windows and it automatically fixed the errors.

This happens sometimes if you don't eject the SD card properly before removing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Hey all I will be posting a 1.1 release which should fix all your issues. But just cause I had a rough day today and kids are sick What I did was,

1. Removed the scripts running at boot

2. Went back to the CM7 Kernel

So because I went back to the CM7 Kernel for you to get the best battery life and the fastest speed, I am going to post a link to either Dumfuqs Smartass Kernel or Faux Smartass Kernel. I would recommend flashing them after you flash the Rom. Tomorrow after I go see my doctors for my MRI I will proper fix and work on RoyalGinger and make it what it should be.

TeamRoyal is also working on an AOSP Froyo Rom for you retro people out there. lol. Sorry again for all the boot issues. This kind of stuff happens when Roms are rushed and not properly tested. Good thing is Now with the MyTouch4G you got a good amount of Awesome Roms to choose from. Thanks for your support.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
will this be a wipe install or just flash install? from 1.0 - 1.1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I would say for safety reasons do a Wipe, I wipe no matter what, I would rather wipe and have a fresh clean device that works. Then not wipe and start running into problems and then have to wipe anyways. But you can try to not wipe and see what happens. lol

After this I will try to start making no wipe updates for this. But for this time I would recommend wipe.

I will also post some screen shots soon, right after I post.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I am still pretty frustrated by my inability to replicate these launcher2 force closes and most of these orientation based issues. OTHER THAN it not being a clean flash for one reason of another (if you didn't follow the OP instructions precisely or sometimes even when you do it just doesn't quite 'take', or if you restored from a nandroid as I explained in my post above this one, etc), I've not been able to find a real reason why most peoples launcher2 (including mine) seems to function normally. Notwithstanding the inability to turn off auto rotate on the homescreen. And yes, occasionally certain apps seem to be able to 'override' your screen preference and rotate into landscape even if you have that turned off (likely an issue across the board with that app, not with this ROM).

Because of the handful of random launcher bugs that sprung up with this latest launcher2 that we put into v1.4 and v1.4.1 - I think I'm going to bake up a current version with the older stock launcher2 in there for those of you that are having FCs and other issues. I don't think I started hearing about this until after v1.4 (when we put the new launcher2 in) ...

I'll try and put something together and get it into testing asap..tonight if possible and will let you guys know what I come up with.

Thx
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brian6685:
Oh okay I see now ;) thanks alot sorry I misunderstood earlier, that answered my question.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I'm willing to test anything out for you guys, its the least I can do for this great rom. I've never had problems with any launcher other than the force close of lpp at startup which seems normal to most everyone. Hope I can help in some way, pm or reply here if you'd like the extra tester.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
I have random FC's with LPP too... It think it's a GB compatibility issues... I simply FC and restart then its fine... Annoying but bearable...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I had the same issues on froyo. Weirdly, my captivate running.g the paragon rom has no issues with it, but lpp doesn't do it randomly, just on startup.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Yea, I did that first thing when I flashed CM7 and it doesn't vibrate for texts. I tried switching with the other options and then switching back, still don't work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
So you know there's a ton of people begging for your help on your youtube vids? Sorry for the random post.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Lol yeah I'm trying so hard to keep up with the questions. I jsut wish they'd all ask my on my twitter, since im not on my desktop all that much
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dalkaveli:
Possibly stupid question, is it possible to get visual voicemail to work with this rom?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] teamsilence:
you were right

That is a stupid question you're right... :''('''''
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Lol, i've made a few comments but it's kinda ridiculous that people don't know how to follow directions.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Yes

@team

Are you planning on contributing here or just making everyone miserable?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Lol i know man. You'd be surprised at the questions that i get daily. but its all good, i try to answer everyone just get overwhelming
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xSunny:
I dont know i hadnt had it with 1.3 i guess it is the new launcher but i did do everything the op said.. So maybe it is just the new launcher and idk its kinda annoying waiting for the launcher to reload.. It's got me thinking of going back to CM7 but this is so much faster than CM7 thats why i want to stay and hope it will get fixed asap =]
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dalkaveli:
Okay..care like sharing how?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Just letting you all know I am working on 1.5 with many of the things you guys wanted, so 1.5 will be extremely epic, I can't wait for it to drop. Thanks again everybody for your support.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RavenWulf:
[THREADJACK]

for y'all that keep asking about Sense-type stuff for this ROM... check out HeLauncher in the Market. it won't let you have the widgets or Sense proprietary stuff but will let you have the look of Sense, Stock Froyo or GB, Blur and a few others

and it is free and has a few nice features such as Drop to Uninstall, Scrollable Widgets,

Re-sizable Widgets

Here is the link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handlerexploit.launcher_reloaded&feature=search_result

[/THREADJACK]
[myTouch 4G Android Development] teamsilence:
yo

@lanternslight how can you look me in the eye and say that wasnt a stupid question ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
First you have to have it enabled for your account with T-Mobile. Second download the app. Third go through the setup process in the app, iirc it should be done on data and NOT wifi, though it may not make a differenct. The big block most people face is not knowing that it needs to be enabled with T-Mobile before it will run.

@team I hadn't tried to use it before being on cm7, couldn't get it to work there, tried again here, still nothing, then someone mentioned at the T-Mobile forums to enable it at their site first. Problem. I thought maybe it was a sense tied app or else perhaps custom roms cut you off somehow from tmo access apps. Makes a little sense.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] teamsilence:
visual voicemail works

It works on cm7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I know it does, the issue was that I didn't know that it had to be enabled at the T-Mobile site. Once that's done its cake. But I don't remember ever seeing where it tells you that you have to do that. Without that knowledge it can be frustrating.

EDIT: Just wanted to mention, I know you guys made changes to the radio on the newest version 1.4.1. Great job, I get good reception where I used to get none.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dalkaveli:
Thanks man, I originally was unable to find the app for some reason, then thought perhaps they took it off, but was able to find it on the market just now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] voodoodoo1226:
Can't wait! :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
the

su
RemoveLauncher stock

command isn't working in terminal emulator, fyi. Wanted to try this out, I've got LPP installed and set to default.

has it changed?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mathato:
I feel dumb as **** right now. I've possibly looked everywhere on changing the homescreen windows from 5 to 3..

I know I'm just looking too hard and I'm possibly looking right over it so. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Ps. Thank for the great roms TeamRoyal
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
The launcher that this rom provides is the stock gingerbread launcher. Thus, you wont be able to change the homescreens. You'll have to install a 3rd party launcher such as adw or lp
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mathato:
Ahh I was wonsering. Cuz I had looked Everywhere. Thanks alot!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aalsmadi1:
What's up team royal, and all people having issues, I switched over to 1.3 and have yet to have any issues, it seems perfect, so is you are having any problem I recommend you do the same.

Thanks for the great rom!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] knotrkr:
This is a great rom. I love it. I haven't ecountered any bugs with it. It runs a lot smoother than my CM7 RC2 did, and lots of themes and it's so easy to change themes and they all look good.. Great job.. Home run, I love it, thanks a lot to the people that made it and posted not only the Rom but the themes as well...

Kn0t
[myTouch 4G Android Development] knotrkr:
I use Launcher Pro with this Rom. If you use Launcher pro, you go to, Preferences>HomeScreenSettings> from there you can ajust Number of screens and your default screen. I don't know if you can do that with any of the other launchers or not, but with launcher pro you can.. I hope that helps..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hlee3374:
You can set #of screens with adw launcher as well
[myTouch 4G Android Development] edboy21:
Just curious, im still running 1.4 coz I thought the only thing added is the themes and new kernel to 1.4.1. Just wanted to know if team royal did really change the radio? If yes, I will definitely upgrade.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 99danman:
1.5 is up?

..Oh nevermind.

Sent from my MT4G on RoyalGinger
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I know they mentioned making tweaks to the radio, don't remember if it started with 1.4 or 1.4.1 but I HAVE seen LARGE improvement sense that update, I don't know what they did or what it affected but its very noticeable at work, I have 2 bars of edge when I used to have none and have 4 bars of edge where I had 2 before. I'm confident its the rom because stock T-Mobile users I know have the weaker signal still. That speaks for itself IMHO
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jboy15:
front facing camera doesnt switch when im using tmobile qik video calling, it only works with the rear camera..why is that?!?!?!?!?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Edit the build.prop file.

system/build.prop

Change the device name to Nexus S
[myTouch 4G Android Development] edboy21:
I

I know what you mean. i've noticed that too after upgrading to 1.4, I been getting signal at one of the room at my house, where I rarely get signal when I was using iced glacier. But its very picky tho, sometimes I get it and sometimes I dont. Lol. So it is definitely this rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jboy15:
do i have to change all the stuff that says "HTC Glacier" to "Nexus S"?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
There is a line that says device name. Change that
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
What is the command to remove the stock launcher? The one in the op doesn't work.

Also thought I'd add, I tried out the red remix theme today, everything else was the same as my normal. My battery died crazy fast. I didn't think it could be the theme so I CWR wiped everything and re-loaded with that theme again, still killing battery, changed back to honeybread and battery. Battery back to normal... weird, a.gone know what causes that? Just a theme killing battery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Loving this ROM. In coming from CM7 and I do have to say I'm highly impressed. This ROM is fast and the battery life is immaculate. Love the 10 themes you can choose from and all the other CM settings to play with. Awesome job Royalknight and his Devs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Use root explorer to manually remove the stock launcher. But if you don't want to pay for it you can also use ES File explorer, does the same job as root explorer. I believe its in system>apps
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jboy15:
can you tell me the exact line for example "ro.build something something"?? im just not so sure which one to change.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I have root explorer and I know it's launcher2.apk but wasn't sure if deleting it would:

a) get rid of it 100% IE Car Dock is actually 2 apks or

b) is it going to cause problems straight deleting the .apk and that is the reason for said script, to delete the information AND fix the issues involved with not having the stock launcher.

that's my thinking anyhow, have you done this? and ill affects?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
I always do it when I run CM7. And I have no ill effects in case you're worried. I just reboot every time I do it for safe measures.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Working on RoyalGinger 1.5 Trying to include some not all of the requests that were put forward. A lot of requests were from people who love Vanilla Android but they want the look and feel of Sense well I am sorry to say that Sense Widgets like, Calendar, clock, weather wont work in vanilla Android. But I was able to dig up a Sense Clock that does work and I am including it. I also found a new Theme for the Theme chooser that is a Sense Theme so you will have the look and feel just not all the widgets. sorry. :-( RG1.5 is getting completely rebuilt from the latest nightly so hopefully a lot of the issues will be fixed. I got the remove launcher working. it isnt working in this last build cause of a miss coding sorry my fault. hopefully we will have 1.5 out to you guys sometime this week.

Sorry its taking longer the normal, between my injury and trying to get all the requests in the build its taking a little bit longer. But 1.4.1 is freaking solid and should keep you guys happy till 1.5 is out. Thanks again for your support.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Loving 1.4.1 take your time and it will be well worth the wait! (i will not fiend... I will not fiend... I will not...)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxpada:
not gonn b based on RC3?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
When I said that RC3 wasn't released. So now seeing that it is released I will rebase it on RC3. Might push it back a day. But at least you will have the latest and greatest.

Sent from the latest and greatest from TeamRoyal using XDA App.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxpada:
yee! thanks bro. royal ginger is the only rom I flash so take your guys time. thanks ahead of time
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Hey just going to put this out there. I located a Mod that will allow you to watch Hulu via the browser either Dolphin or Stock. Downside is it might but it might mess with mobile flash, (of course we will test the crap out of it.) is this something you guys would want. You would be one of the few phones that offer it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxpada:
yeah im on RoyalGinger 1.4.1 and I had that problem with flash videos, had to put flash 10.1 back on. but if I remember correctly, that issue was fixed on one of the nightlies and faux updated his kernels?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxpada:
so hopefully you guys get that all running fine and dandy cuz I don't flash nightlies anymore :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yep, flash 10.2 is working on the new rebased gingers. been running an alpha test build for a day or two and its super nice.

I just finished tweaking the launcher2..auto rotation should be fixed now. I think I might have found what was causing some FCs also. gonna check it all out later tonight on the latest test build.

I've also got another super secret new project I've been working on for the last week that I think many of you will be pretty psyched about :D more details on that once I'm a little further with it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] voodoodoo1226:
Hmmmm.... there's a line that says ro.product.device and another that says ro.product.name. So I changed both to "Nexus S" and still not working. Let me try "Nexus_S" now.

Nope....that (Nexus_S) didn't work either. Did anyone else get the front facing cam to work? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lockback:
Is there anything you can do to get a FM tuner working in RoyalGinger 1.4.1?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I haven't verified this myself but it was my understanding that the product.name was supposed to change to Samsung for the ffc fix. PM me if that doesn't work and I'll look into it further for you.

I'm almost certain you need to leave everything else as HTC or Glacier. If you change the wrong one of those it's easily going to break something else. There are other files and code tied to those .ro's
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
PM me and I'll help you out
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
if you wanna do it by the book - i'm pretty sure there's a com.launcher file you're going to want to remove as well if you're gonna do this manually ..

should be in data/data folder

i think it's called com.com.google.launcher or something similar

i'd check for sure but my this current build i'm on does not have the stock launcher on it

the 'safest' thing to do is just to freeze the launcher2.apk via titanium ... but in actuality, as long as you have your important apps/data backed up, it's not very difficult to reflash a ROM if worst case happened and you screwed something up or wanted the launcher back.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
/data/data/com.android.launcher, Thanks ck
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DoUknoGREG:
Does the FFC work with Tango and Qik? I use that alot and wouldn't want to flash a ROM that doesn't have it! (I'm using royal thunder right now, but would like the great battery life from this ROM)
