not on the stock launcher. but many, if not all, of the aftermarket launchers that you can download from the market give you these extra options

my personal fav for aftermarket is adw EX but the EX version is a few bucks

they do have plain 'adw' available for free (which lets you reduce/expand # of homescreens but is missing a lot of the other options/UI coolness that is in EX)

launcherpro is free with a 'plus' version as a couple dollar upgrade (pro includes some widgets, and a couple of other things i believe)

zeam is free

golauncher is free

there's a lot ...

Thanks. I've used LP before.

I vote for no themes, I download haxzamatic's honeycomb and delete all the others anyhow. A case of less is more.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkpaniel:
This rom is great so far.

quick question.. is there any way to get rid of the pull down power widget? I can't remember which rom it was (maybe one of the cm rc's) but there was one where you could set the pull down options. Is that possible with this rom?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes, just go into settings > royalginger settings > interface > notification power widget

strange, can anyone help me fix the music player? I just get static even if i install a different player.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
I vote to cut down the themes as well. But you think you can re-add the cyanogen theme that's in the regular CM7 rom? Didn't like cyanbreadX all that much.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Slim down 1.6! Take out the themes plz!

I also vote to remove the themes and leave in Theme Manager. We can always add the themes ourselves and you won't have to deal with follks complaining about how they are having issues with themes. A better, slimmer and trimmer RoyalGinger? Looking forward to testing...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
I agree with the others...

The original idea of this rom was to keep it as close to AOSP as possible while keeping it functional.

By continuing to add more and more stuff... we open it up to more and more issues and people having unintended problems.

Keeping the theme manager is great, but people are more than capable of finding and install themes on their own.

If they aren't.... well.... they probably shouldn't be rooting and messing with roms to begin with.

uhhh ... sounds like a hardware fail to me? don't mean to sound funny, but have you tried a different set of headphones?

you're the only one with this issue .. pretty certain it's not a ROM thing

have you tried reflashing the ROM? (make sure have your data and apps backed up via titanium or whatever else)

if all that fails and you've reflashed following all instructions in the OP, get a logcat on it while the music is failing, post it to pastebin, and PM me the link and i'll see if i see anything on there that i have any ideas for and PM you back

TO EVERYONE: YOU HAVE TO GET ME A LOGCAT ON ANY *REAL* ISSUE IF YOU ARE AT ALL EXPECTING OR HOPING FOR EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ANSWER OR SOLUTION

there is absolutely nothing I can do without one. it would be like trying to nueter a cat drunk with your eyes taped shut. from another state or country. yeah.

CLICK HERE for a link to a walk thru on how to obtain a logcat (via ADB)

OR

there is an app on the market now called 'alogcat' which takes all the effort out of it and does it for you.

the logcats will most likely be LONG - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE TO THE FORUM. paste it to pastebin (pastebin.com) , and PM me the link
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
I tried different headphones and that didn't work i even tried playing it through the phone's speaker and still got static. I will back up my apps and such and try reflashing, after i reflash do I have to install everything and set up the phone again? Also to reflash i just follow the instructions in the OP right, no need to wipe?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] theinitial21:
how about having 2 packages? one with themes and one without just to make it easier for the audience? thats my 2 cents.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Lol. No kidding.

As far as the post of having one rom with the themes and one without... personally I think its a bad idea. Would just further the.amount of random non searching questions and add more problems to the fire.

If you don't know how to add themes.... you probably should do some research. Its a very simple process that only adds bloat for everyone else.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] crpntr:
Hi Im sorry in advance for such a silly question but how do I get ffc to work . I saw the link to root and edit but would appreciate a little more detail. Appreciate any and all help.

p.s I did read most all posts and appologise if I missed it, cheers all.

also love the rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
lol, i am loving this rom even when it's low i don't have to worry about charging it up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ditchmagnet:
Not sure what application you are talking about, but in the camera app, tap the little icon of the mountains, then you can select FFC.

Ya, I just can't get over how awesome this ROM is. I am at 13hrs, 22mins, with 7% left. Might not seem that great, except I have been using the crap out of my phone today. Using BFS LV, OCed to 1516Mhz using SmartAss.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] spazmenos:
I had read somewhere that CM7 had enabled .flac support on their media player.

is it the same for RG?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
yea i have not charged my phone since yesterday morning, if i was still on the stock rom my phone would have been dead for hours by now.

So is the new Faux 2.4.6 kernel better than the one on this rom? How do I install it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Unythios:
2.4.6 is what's already bundled with it. 2.4.8 is the new one.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jester450:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Thank you so much that was my problem after all and i reflashed the rom already lol

should i flash to 2.4.8?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
whenever I get a text, it vibrated and when I unlock the phone. the lockscreen keeps going black with a little "static" (the image you see when you have no signal on a old TV) bar where the slider should be, pops up... and the phone hangs have to battery pull. occured twice! could it be the kernel should I flash the new updated one? could it be a incompatible theme? mixer 0.4...

wait I think its the Overclock and underclock frequency deficit have it on 245-1556. will change and report back brb.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bnavaleza:
Does anyone know why the android system is taking up so much battery? I have background data off and I just have no clue why its still draining so much.

It took up around 27% in 15hrs, more than cell stand by and everything else.

just experienced my first signal drop issue which is odd because i never had that problem before i reflashed. I guess i will flash to the new kernel tonight.

phone reboots while downloading or installing large market apps 5mb+ anyone want logcat, next time it happens?

and I am flashing the new LV kernel now...

edit: how is the GPS lock and download speeds on the new kernel?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
EDIT: I found it in Faux's thread and i flashed to the new kernel, so far so good.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Unythios:
I tried both the CFS and BFS kernel on Stock voltage and My Linpack scores were 15 less at 1.8Ghz than with the kernel bundled with 1.5. Which is why ck put the link to the kernel back up for me in the OP. I haven't tried the LV ones yet. I will read a bit more and go from there.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
Just a heads up to those wiping their mt4g's after installing RoyalGinger while on the latest clockwork. There's a thread over at the Q&A section about possible bricks with RoyalGinger and the latest clockwork, not trying to point any fingers but so far the common denominator seems to be the "can't mount /cache" error in clockwork after removing RoyalGinger. Maybe it has to do with how RoyalGinger has an automated format/wipe procedure, or maybe it could have been some change in clockwork's latest version. So far there doesn't appear to be a fix for the "can't mount /cache" error in clockwork, wiping doesn't work, factory reset in hboot doesn't work, and the PD15IMG.zip factory image restore doesn't work either. I'm replacing my mt4g and I'm going to be kinda scared to try anything new until this is figured out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Unythios:
So the error is when flashing the ROM. But once flashed you're good to go right? I flashed when on 3.0.0.6. Now I'm on 3.0.2.4 and have only been flashing kernels.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
thanks for the reply. I've been trying every possible fix I can to fix the phone, but so far no luck. I don't think I flashed the engineering bootloader when I rooted, what benefit would there be to have that bootloader over the version that comes with the phone? (.8600 I believe). I did try fastboot to flash the recovery again, but it just came back with an error about it not being allowed. Kinda seems like the internal file system got severely buggered out for some reason. Is it possible to flash the engineering bootloader through fastboot?

You're brave by trying to replicate the issue, but if you want to try the same thing I did here's how it went:

started out on RoyalGlacier(latest version), made nandroid of RoyalGlacier, wiped, flashed RoyalGinger, made nandroid of RoyalGinger, wiped, restored nandroid of RoyalGlacier, backed up apps/data with "mybackup root", wiped, restored nandroid of RoyalGinger, restored apps/data with "mybackup root", the progress bar reached 100% but froze, pulled the battery, turned phone on and got bootloops, went into clockwork to wipe the phone, restarted clockwork and started getting the "can't mount /cache" errors.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
I found this about someone fixing a similar issue on the Droid Incredible: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/page__view__findpost__p__56396

What I'm not too sure of is how to enable the adb shell since my phone only seems to want to work under fastboot, and I don't recall there being an option in clockwork to enable usb debugging. Also, I'm not sure if the partitions are laid out the same as the Incredible, so I might make things worse(can't see how they could be worse at this point).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ya, that was one of the links that came up in my search history from the other day but i know i personally didn't have to do that to get it back .. i do think that you should try repartitioning your sd though ...

and i believe one of the main purposes of the engineering bootloader is so you have access to these parts of the device that are usually read only. i'm PMing you now so that we don't have to go back and forth several times on this thread .. though i will certainly post a 'fix' if we identify one just in case this ever happens to anyone else in the future
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
that happened to me when i first installed until i did a battery pull

then it booted fine
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Dodolom:
Thanks, that helps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
FWIW, I am finding that faux 123's v2.0 sv kernel is smoother than dumfuq's kernel, at least concerning lagginess on ADW EX launcher. Ran each for an hour or so and lag with the latter, but not the former.

Thanks to all who are making this phone move forward....!!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mikejet:
the main difference i notice between the two is the performance in the browser

dumfuq seems to run smoother in the browser and when entering data into forms on websites
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I tweaked the build properties values to match what they've talked about on the CM7 RC1 thread (image below) and as soon as I did everything got so quick. All the screen transitions, loading of apps, everything. They said it was for GPS and data, but my whole phone became more responsive. I'm on RoyalGinger 1.1 running Faux123's v2.0 kernel.

If this is something I shouldn't have done, or is bad, please let me know, but so far it seems great.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
If its working for you good. Maybe I will try it on my phone before I include it in the next build. If you look at other build.props they will have different numbers. Around the same but some different values. the thing to do is find what works best, more of a trial and error. lol. thanks for brining this to my attention, like I said I will try it out and see what those different values do.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] verysick:
Hows the (H) signal on this room?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
the ONLY change I recommend for the build.prop from the CM7 baseline is:

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10

the default CM7 baseline has it set to 8 which is incorrect for Tmobile HSPA network...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Thanks Faux I was actually just looking at that. about to send you that invite.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I don't know code nor will claim to, but on the CM7 RC1 thread they had changed the hsdpa, hsupa and the gps to improve them both. I believe you 100%, just wondering if you had any comments on the gps, or if there's a thread or source that explains these. Thanks!

I have a question are any of you having a problem in where your WIFI is on but not receiving a good bulk of your messages? Because I am. Turn off.. it works fine... Turn on it doesn't work the right way... Any of you have these experiences ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
nope, what kernel are you running?

by messages do you mean texts from the messaging app or emails from the gmail app or ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oak25:
yes text messages I didnt flash any of the kernels just going stock...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] motoyola:
it works fine for me except for the Torch, im using [KERNEL] dumfuq smartass cmkernel [2/3/11] so i dont know if that affected it or not. For a while there it was working but after wards it stopped. now it doesn't even function any more. Should i try flashing a diferent kernel?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i would flash either dumbfuq's or faux's kernel. pretty sure that will fix it. otherwise, if you REALLY wanna stay on the bundled kernel (why??) - try fixing permissions and/or wiping both caches then fixing permissions and see if that works ..

also you can go into manage applications and clear data for messaging app. sometimes it gets wonky after a new ROM..

i highly recommend faux's kernel for this ROM .. he just released v2.0 with the new HTC touch panel driver (among many other enhancements)

here's the thread to DL:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957267

wipe both caches before flashing a new kernel ... also, if you're using setCPU now, turn off set on boot before flashing the new kernel .. then after flashing the new kernel and booting up - go back into setCPU and click the menu button in the main screen and click find device or whatever the button the left is .. after it finds your new default clock speeds, you can click set on boot again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
motoyola - see my post right above this one about faux's kernel. flash his new v2.0 kernel. i don't think you'll regret it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Sorry guys I took the night off from Deving, so no update tonight. But like I have said I got plans for this Rom. Also will be working on a few others that you might like. Be back in it tomorrow.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oak25:
hmm i will flash with that kernel then :)

low or stock voltage??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] motoyola:
tried it and flash still doesnt work. :mad: i think the led flash got busted :confused: HELP!!!! :o
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
try LV first and if you have any issues (bootloop, freeze ups, etc) then flash the SV
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
One thing that stands out with this is that Royal Glacier and Royal Ginger use different ext. Not sure if that would have anything to do with anything but restoring apps/data from 2.2 froyo to 2.3 ext4 could have something to do with what is causing a issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sonyakennedy:
Keep getting a..."This Feature Does Not Support Current System Version" error everytime my signal goes from 3g to 4g or H... Not sure if anyone else has had that issue but I have not read in the threads.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes, that's exactly what i've been thinking here after talking to that dude by PM/IM and reading most of the others posts .. i think the backup programs are throwing a wrench into things

however, i'm not exactly sure how that got me into the can't mount cache/recovery the other day cos i def don't restore data on any app and only restore apps themselves like news apps and things. DEF nothing that came from a different version/ext

though my 'issue' was fairly easy to get out of .. but i think having the unlocked bootloader was prob a big help

i def think the handful of people that are experiencing this right now on OUR devices might have gotten here by a few different ways .. i think for most though, it was something that happened during a restore process whereby the couple various versions of CWM that have been popular/floating around recently (3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6, 3.0.2.4, and all the 'special' spin offs of those, like charging while off on 3.0.0.6 etc) .. something is overwriting something else and when you go to do a full wipe, recovery is imploding on itself and/or even the partitions are self destructing (or at least causing the system to read it like it's screwed up, even if there's actually nothing wrong with it .. which is what i tend to think more so than the partition truly being screwed up)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
nope, haven't heard of that one before.

boot into recovery and wipe both caches then reboot

if it is still there .. re-download the v1.5 ROM zip file from the link on the OP and reflash the ROM following ALL of the instructions on there for how to flash

then, if you STILL have this issue - go back and reread the OP again where it lets you know i can't do a thing unless you provide me with a logcat while the issue is happening

(but don't do that until you've tried the first couple suggestions)

ALSO - make sure you're on clockworkmod 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.2.4
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madwolf27:
I am LOVING this ROM so far ! (Just left MIUI, which I also liked but I have a "problem" about trying new ROMS :) I HAVE seen weird signal issues (It's just kinda allover the place even when Im not moving).

The weirdest thing is that when I install the theme "minimal magic" the launcher goes into a forceclose loop that only a complete restore or wipe and reinstall will fix. ALL other themes I have tried so far have been fine.
