Technology is the only thing that keeps me sane, and now this! Lol. Thx again man
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
I love this rom it's awesome :)

but can someone tell me why only 3G shows and not the "H"? :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joeyrey:
Does anyone else have a problem with the screen going black and it wont wake up or anything unless you pull the battery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sl1k1:
You should see a 4g icon instead of the H
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
I meant 4G not H (sorry) but It only shows 3G :(

Is there a reason why?

It used to show all the time but now only 3G :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
The download icon in the notification bar would never gone!!!

I try stop the maket, try reboot, try everything~~~
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
It will stay on 3g until you start surfing the web, downloading, etc. then it will connect to 4g if available.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
clear (wipe) both caches?

re-apply the theme? (then reboot)

i haven't seen this
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ashykat:
Alrighty so I've searched the forums and google for this but I can't seem to find an answer, so I apologized if it's already been covered here.

I'm getting ready to flash this ROM which specifically says to use ClockworkMod 3.0.0.6, however I'm on 3.0.2.4. I went to the older versions section in ROM Manager to flash 3.0.0.6 but it's not there, it jumps from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.2.4.

Will flashing with 3.0.2.4 be okay? I don't want to screw things up since the instructions clearly say "MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON 3.0.0.6 recovery for clockworkmod!!"

Exclamation points scare me.

EDIT: Sorry all even after all the searching I did and coming up with nothing, I jumped to page 160 of this thread and someone had asked the same question. /facepalm
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 808prettyboy808:
@ ashykat

You must have 3.0.0.6 recovery..You can find it in the thread...The best and easiest one to use would be the recovery modified by true blue drew..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes 3.0.2.4 is fine. I'll update OP..

(3.0.0.6 still works as well)

FYI...in final testing on v1.6

looking good...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] laztpn0i:
I flashed with 3.0.2.4. without any problems. And did the same thing with Cyanogen CM7 stable.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Yes I have had that happen twice.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ashykat:
Wow. Coming from stock it's fair to say this thing is blazing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nighthawk626:
yea turn off the screen animations and reboot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ashykat:
Please disregard.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes, screen animations (screen on and off) and these custom kernels don't seem to mix all that well...keeping screen ani's off is a small price to pay in my view for the battery life and speed that this ROM has (which the kernel has a great deal to do with)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] creepinm3:
Just booted into RoyalGinger. Must say fastest ROM I've ever used... Great work done here!

Slight issue... When I turn on WI-FI I get random hot boots. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Ummm don't know if it is this ROM or not but I woke up this morning and decided to change my wallpaper on my phone and all my pictures on my sd card are gone. I have an 8gb sd card that had like 1.32gb left and now it shows 3.34gb. No clue what happened at all. I had all my pictures last night because I was showing all my pics to my friend of all the art work I have done. This really sucks because I was going to back up my sd card, I just bought a 16gb friday and was going to move everything over. Ahhhhh this so sucks.

Awesome ROM though Royalknight. No complaints at all, wifi works, everything is blazing fast. So amazing, can't wait for 1.6
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxMAGICxx:
all my pictures are gone too! Wtf!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Did you wake up to them gone too?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
uhhhhh .. ?? Y4172011K??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
to the two guys who lost the pictures, have you installed ANY new applications from the marked in the last day or two? Do you use Lookout or AVG Free for security protection? There are viruses on Android now, and it's important to be REALLY careful.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
I highly recommend getting Lookout and/or Seekdroid, you can backup your contacts, pics, wipe data, lock your phone online, and locate it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
No I haven't downloaded any new apps at all. I try not to download a lot of apps. Don't like it to bog down my system.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxMAGICxx:
Man this sucks! It shoulda read in the first post that if you download any new apps or something, you lose your pictures, or have the chance of losing your pictures!

Such ****!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
There is no telling if it was the ROM or if it was an app that we have installed. I know for a fact I didn't download any new app for my phone from the time of them being deleted, but than again it could have been an app i have downloaded a while back that could have caused it. Just got to learn my lesson and back up my photos every other day or so.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxMAGICxx:
Yeah I'm gonna start doing that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] crpntr:
Hi I have a problem of not being able to download or update any apps . I was on this rom and switched to glacier and back . I tried all sorts including unmount of card,format of card,delete of and_secure,wireless on/off,airplane mode on/off.

I have given up and PD15ved the phone and still the same. I changed the sd card as well to see and then returned old one which is in now. Anyone got any help it would be greatly appreciated. I had ultimate s=off eng. 087***
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Have you tried to go to settings>applications>manage applications>select all tab>scroll down down to market> select clear data> and uninstall updates>instal updates?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] crpntr:
Yes thanks all the same I did that too.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
there has been 3,000 downloads of v1.5 along with the dozen or so people that tested this ROM hard before release. you (and coincidentally the other guy at the same time) are the first person to ever report anything like this

i've never heard of a ROM magically deleting your pictures of your SD before .. but i never claimed to know everything i suppose
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
did you happen to make any nandroid backups before this issue?? you've GOT to backup your ROMs before you flash any new ROMs, etc. everyone.

you PD15IMG'ed back to stock? and you still can't download any apps? dude, that's .. almost impossible. I have no clue .. if you have nandroided or factory reset back to stock, I have no clue why you wouldn't be able to pull off something this basic

please make a post in Q&A or general sections if you continue to have this issue ..

thank you
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxMAGICxx:
I didnt say anything because I thought that a reset would fix it so I did and nothing happened and I was like oh well, they will re-appear. Then the other guy reported it and I was like omg! The same thing happened to me! But they still havent reappeard. They're gone :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
this def is not normal behavior for this ROM/kernel. did you follow all instructions exactly on OP when you flashed? (aka settle/reboot/settle?)

try booting into recovery, wiping both caches, fixing permissions then rebooting.

if it still persists - reflash the kernel (either the one on the OP or faux's newest on his thread..dumbfuqs is also compatible..the CM version)

all else fails - full wipe and reflash the ROM .. follow the instructions in the OP and you should be fine
[myTouch 4G Android Development] crpntr:
Ya did all the backups . weird thing is with PD15 I still have s=off. Anyway backups no good as I havnt got rom manager or visionary or terminal.

Others in q&a have problem with 1 fixing it but he didnt see fit to share only to say "I fixed it" so I thought I would try here sorry but thanks anyway.

I reset and changed gmail for a new one and seems to be fine now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
That didn't work... : (

Any other idea why it's not showing 4G
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
OK ladies n gents .. v1.6 is cleared for landing ..

I'm taking out the auto wipe script so YOU WILL HAVE TO PERFORM YOUR OWN CACHE and/or DATA WIPES ON v1.6 !!!

with the all the new and various recovery versions that have come out lately and some of the weird random issues that seem to crop up for a couple of people - I'm just going to put the wiping responsibility back on the user to do so prior to flash.

TECHNICALLY, if you are running v1.5 now and haven't had any noticeable issues or problems, then you should be able to just partial wipe (clear both caches) and flash v1.6 .. however i ALWAYS recommend a full wipe (clear data + both caches) just for the cleanest possible flash.

if you're coming from ANY rom other than RoyalGinger v1.5 (or if you had any issues, including HSPDA data/signal degrade issues) - FULL WIPE is required.

i'm going to quick test flash the release version i just finished since i just took the wipe script out just now after testing .. i haven't had time to rewrite the OP with everything i will have in there for v1.6 but figured you guys would rather have it than hold off on flashing just so the OP is perfect

as soon as i verify everything is hunky dorey on my device, i'll upload and post the link

..commence collective pants wetting sequences...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
It must be on its final approach. ;-)

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
that it is ... uploading now :D

----CHANGELOG v1.6----

(off the top of my head, likely forgetting stuff, full update to OP coming tomorrow)

- REMOVED AUTO WIPE SCRIPT!! (YOU MUST PERFORM YOUR OWN FULL WIPE ... data + both caches PRIOR TO INSTALL/FLASH .. all other OP instructions still highly recommended...settle/reboot/settle before setting up, etc....also take your time while going thru the setup wizard before clicking 'finish')

- Updated HTC radio ril lib (should help HSDPA data/signal degrade seen on v1.5, if any)

- Updated to Faux 2.5.0 CFS LV kernel (with CFS tweak optimization included)

- Fixed SD read ahead cache tweak (gallery scrolling and opening pics off of SD is much faster, among a couple of other improvements)

- Even more stock launcher optimizations (smoooooth)

- Removed Genius Button app (can still be downloaded and flashed via Drew's zip..link will be posted on OP)

- Removed all themes (theme manager is still there .. download the ones you want, don't have to be 'forced' to have the ones you don't!...OP will be updated with a theme menu with links to all previously bundled themes and some others too .. these can easily be downloaded from the xda app/site directly from your phone .. it's just an apk .. you'll install, go to theme manager, apply the theme, REBOOT, done!)

- Additional misc. fixes, tweaks, optimizations, code cleanup

NEW total size of rom ZIP file = 80 MB :D (i put ginger on the treadmill)

.... upload finished momentarily

It's up .. go get it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
flashing now... i love this.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Unythios:
Sweet. Just had a scare. Been having HORRIBLE data drop on both RG and Royal MIUI. I don't know whats up with my phone. But I was doing a few nand restores going back to a few different ROM's I've ran. and BAM E:/ cannot mount recovery or some **** like that.

Phone was dead for over 2 hrs. Then I wiped everything and did a fresh install of RG 1.5 which did its own wipe again. Well now the phone is working flawlessly no issues.

I tried going back to RoyalLiquid. Is that what the problem was? Going from Gingerbread to Froyo on ClockWork Recovery 3.0.2.4?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] csdalporto:
Not cm7 stable? Blows
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
So dont use it... thanks for coming to cry.

/emoslitwrists

I know... the devs are horrid for providing a free service that isnt up to your expectations.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i'm not going to cm7 stable until it's actually stable. for most if not all.

i am already working on v1.7 (2.0?) which will be rebased but i tried using 7.0 'stable' several days ago when i was beginning v1.6 early test builds and it was not as stable overall as the current base that we're working from now

my #1 priority is putting out the most stable and fast ROM that i possibly can while still maintaining superior battery performance.

if it's not a step forward, why do it?

(however, since the last time i tried an early test rebase .. there have been several commit updates and a couple new nightly builds, etc. that i can pull some other libs and such that i may want from .. so hence .. i'm already working on the next version .. for NOW, enjoy this .. OR feel free to stay with CM :D .. v1.6 wasn't intended to be a gigantic update, it was just cleaning up a couple of things)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] beelbeel:
Thanks for the new rom! Is there a changelog for 1.6?

Additionally, can anybody give any advice regarding how one might use titanium backup to recover from wiping most efficiently? Would the best way to do it be to ignore the initial sign-in process and then just do a batch restore?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
If you look a couple posts up... you will see that the change log will be up tomorrow.

As for titanium... batch is fine. Just restore apps... not apps and data.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] beelbeel:
Ah, gotcha, sorry. Why would you suggest only restoring apps and not data?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Alot of issues people are having can be traced to restoring old data from other roms that over writes the data from the new rom. It only takes a couple minutes to relogin to your apps and can save alot of headaches.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Sometimes data from previous ROM may not be compatible with newer ROMs, so it's better to be conservative than being sorry later (ending up re-flashing the whole thing again).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Is anyone else still having problems with Maps app running in the background and draining the battery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
I've dont this numerous times with no issues.. so i dunno. I've went from froyo to stock to gb and back to stock and gb to froyo. No issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
I only make backups on stock rom and then swap app plus data. I have done this on all 50 roms ive went through. no issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brzgw:
that always used to happen to me...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
It's only happened to me after the app had an update
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kofpk:
thanks for the sexy rom
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
More mirro~~~Can anyone provide Hotfile link？？ ~~~rapidshare is not available in CN

I am using GB1.5, and try other roms a lot, yet I can't leave your roms, it is too smooth too silky, too fast, so it would be damn good to have 1.6~~~~~~~~~loving you guys~~~~~
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Just wanted to let everyone know, I re-flashed 1.5 earlier today using the newest recovery no problems having it ONLY do it's on wipes. Later on, I wiped cache and dalvik. Through both of those events I had no problems (I was re-flashing for some different reasons, not due to problems) Well, I flashed 1.6 release, because the auto wipe was removed I did a fastboot wipe and when I got into recovery from there I had the E:\ can't whatever cache...

I went ahead and wiped data\factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system, install 1.6, (and I installed the faux BFS update also) and have had zero problems.

I am on the engineering bootloader and gfreed my phone, just thought I'd share that.

Maybe this is fastboot wipe related... but like I said, NO issues installing anything, everything was smooth as silk, it just gave me that readout at first.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I STRONGLY advise against restoring data on ALL system type apps (settings, SMS, anything in green in titanium apps menu, etc)

I ONLY restore data on a handful of user apps that I'm POSITIVE were last backed up on the current OS that I'm restoring to (aka 2.3.3 etc)

if it works for you jasonp - more power to you but I've seen many people have many wonky issues from restoring too much (mainly data and mostly on system apps)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I format data/system 3-15 times a week on average these days ... this is what I've found works best for me...

I let Google restore everything it wants to with the setup wizard initially (as stated in OP I've found setup wizard works best when moving SLOWLY thru the screens

...aka clicking next ... once I sign in and I say yes to location, I chill on the backup / restore screen until I've seen the data icon go GREEN showing I'm connected to google .. THEN I click next on the yes backup/restore apps and data screen, then I let the sync circle arrows icon do its thing and also let google / market auto download all the apps it can find to restore. only then do I hit finish and go to my homescreen .. I then go to setcpu and autodetect speeds, make sure USB debugging is on, open titanium, restore a couple of USER apps that market may not have picked up .. restore data on a few select USER apps and then resetup my settings in the settings menus

it helps if you use an aftermarket launcher like adw ex or launcher pro because they allow you to backup and restore desktop configuration ..aka your icons on your homescreen .. I think there's apps in the market that will do this with stock launcher but I've never used them

fyi - I DO use titanium to restore data on Maps and never had an issue .. and recently been using it to restore the app and data since I haven't upgraded to the latest Maps since A) google didn't post a changelog and B) reportedly drains battery etc now
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Unythios:
what happened to me except I chose my Nand-restore from a froyo rom on accident then reflashed RG 1.5 and all was good. Quite weird.

This is basically
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
oh ya..also fixed the SD read ahead cache in v1.6 .. it wasn't working in 1.5

so after flashing 1.6 go take a stroll thru your gallery and see how fast it scrolls and also opens pics etc off the SD card

..also I was never a fan of the stock launcher before and always ran for ADW ex as fast as I could after flashing but now the stock launcher is so effing fast and tight that I actually like using it now .. there are still a couple customization type things I miss and still go back for here and there but i personally love having such a usable, responsive, stable stock launcher to use. 1.6's is even better than 1.5 :D

enjoy
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oak25:
2 Questions.

1. What happened to RoyalKnight?

2. Is the ROM that is bundled with Faux's Kernel Experimental?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
1. he has had life to attend to recently and has been taking care of himself and his family.

2. huh? I presume you are asking if the kernel that is bundled with RG1.6 experimental? no. its CFS LV .. should be completely stable and dripping with sweet Faux Daddy L.A. / Paris Hilton goodness sauce.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oak25:
Yea, that is what I meant. Sounds good, I appreciate the work. I have not flashed a ROM in about a month so... ITS time!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
how did 800 people from china download 1.5? (including you?) rapidshare doesn't work either?

i like to track my download stats and generally don't like mirrors but if nothing works for you, PM me and i'll try and work something out for you
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
Tks for your reply and attention~

It works now!! Don't know why, the network in CN is strange, the gov. is doing their job to block us!! Tks very very much, RG 1.5 is so fast~~Once you use it, other rom would be uncomfortable to you!!

I would spread it in CN~~
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hnt20:
I don't think this is using the latest CM7 stable as baseline as CM7 stable release has support for right to left languages such as arabic and hebrew.

Is there a way to add right to left language support to this ROM or should we wait until this ROM move to CM7 official release?

other than this point, this ROM will be perfect for my daily use. going back to CM7 stable release for now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ashykat:
Once I saw that 1.6 was ~40 megabytes smaller all I could say was, "Yes, please!"

Flashed without any issues and all is buttery smooth so far. I agree that this stock launcher is so damn speedy that I think I may use it as my daily driver for a while instead of LP just to see how it goes.

Awesome job TeamRoyal!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ya, i'm sorry about that .. i got your PM and have been really busy with these updates .. i will begin tomorrow to see if i can incorporate arabic / hebrew etc. into future builds and also see if i can get it slipped into a copy of v1.6 for you (if so, i'll send you a link with the updated language support)

i meant to do this on v1.6 and just dropped the ball .. my fault. i'll see what i can do
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hnt20:
Thanks so much. That will be great. I really apreciate your support on this matter. Please let me know if you need any testing help with RTL languages and i can help with this :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
Your welcome .. I'm glad it works so well for you. I'm pretty sure you'll be more than pleased with v1.6.

I was pretty amazed at the amount of people from China downloaded v1.5 .. it was about half as many as the US .. pretty remarkable

Thanks for the support!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
I posted the testing report like this~~~

Really glad that you reply again!! In fact there are more than 800, caz. many of them don't know how to prisonbreak, the they can't download for Multipupload, and we would create an 115 mirro link in homeland CN. so the estimate person could be double of that！！

We have special forum for this, and we don't just post the Changelog, we post everything and tested many softwares and all the Screen shots so that the Rom would sale better~~Of course I quote with your name and original link, no plagiarism, hope you don't mind!!

Sincerely

Hunter

this Rom is amazing. I've had GPS locking issues for ages on cm7. ever since I switched to royal ginger my GPS has been flawless, which is strange cause its based on cm7. but anyway this Rom has been running suuuper smoooooth. I love it. where can I donate haha
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oak25:
