Good lord!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
updating OP now ... taking me a couple mins to get the info switched over .. i was late picking my son up from school btw to get the link up to the testers so we can get this thing up and running :D

we're right there, i promise. nothing bad so far but i only had 4 testers avail. in the middle of the day with no notice and two have fallen off the planet and i think the other two are so blown away that they haven't regained consciousness yet ... i've heard from 1.5 of them .. rrrrrrrreally close

ha

(was up til 5:30am getting this perfect and have done NOTHING else today for the last 7 hours since i got up btw)

:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Do testers just try out certain apps and see if there are any issues? If so i'd gladly help out and run a bunch of random apps and such.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] G1-evolve:
I've PM'd him so many times to help test because I use to do so for other ROM DEV's back when I had other phones but I guess he isn't accepting anymore? Anyways this is sweet I get to flash before work! :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
I ask because I am always up late at night or during odd hours and since they have done so much for us i figure i can help out by testing ROMs or something.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kaiso:
Make me a tester for the next update.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] G1-evolve:
Same.. im available almost when ever really..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
OK guys ... pressing update on OP :D

don't have a full changelog .. this ones gonna take me a good chunk of time tonight to put it all together. the updates are MASSIVE .. a lot of under the hood stuff but plenty all around. you'll feel the difference to say the least.

major highlights off the top of my head:

RoyalGinger v2.0:

- entire ROM completely rebuilt and compiled from scratch using latest 2.3.4 CM7 source code. i don't just take in all of the updates/code/commits willy nilly. i check them all out and cherry pick the ones i want .. test some out, decide whether or not to keep them in, etc. (more on that later)

- bundled with my first kernel build :D ckisgen-smartass-CM7-v1.0 . this is compiled using a base of zinx's latest CM7 stock kernel but i've added in the smartass governor (with a little inspiration from dumbfuqs source code, thanks df!) and then tweaked a couple of addt'l settings. i've bumped the default max clock to 1.1ghz. this kernel will overclock to 1.8ghz. i've got LOTS of plans for this in the future. i'm going to be working hard on it. i went with something like this for maximum compatibility with this latest 2.3.4 and all the changes that it's brought about. I def gotta give a big THANKS to FauxMoney for the colorful late night conversations and inspiration to make my own kernel...thanks man.

- FULLY working google Talk with video and audio working BOTH ways (ok maybe not 100% .. switching to rear camera FC's but we're working on that..still really solid)

- moved most of the 'extra' CM apps and a couple of others to user storage so that they can be easily removed using the traditional uninstall method via the manage applications menu (settings/applications). i call this one the "E-Z AOSP-ify" update. the apps are:

* terminal

* xda

* DSP manager (this is the new one with the EQ presets .. very nice)

* FM

* ROM Manager

* Spare Parts

* stk

* Swype

* Torch

* YouTube

- TONS and TONS of other stuff .. optimizations everywhere .. GPS, radio, data, ETC!!!!!

(if you like my work, please don't forget your thanks buttons)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] coltfoet5:
Thanks, About to flash. Download is done in 1 minute
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
k, it's UP! (finally, I KNOW...gotta make sure its right guys)

almost forgot, the SWEET SICK @$$ boot animation was made by optmsprim2 from the epic4G boards ... HUGE thanks to him. this is hands down the coolest boot animation i've ever seen on any device. period.

enjoy

:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] G1-evolve:
Flashing now.....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
*****in boot animation.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
my phone hates me right now!!! after all the crack flashing this weekend, and now this!!! omg i have 4 gig of back ups on my sdcard right now and flash to what i am in the mood for and this may be the one to get me off of my sense kick, lmfao:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
Absolutely the most amazing rom ever! Still haven't found any issues! Tested almost everything I can think of!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Amazing work! The ROM runs like a dream and I for one appreciate all of the time and effort that you put into this ROM. You stayed up for hours upon hours to make sure that this ROM screams quality and it does just that. Thank you so much chef CK! Incredible work as always.

BTW, thank you optmsprim for the boot animation. Sick!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
dudes,

what's up with the super fast reboot time? holy man. I mean really fast.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Do we have to wipe data? it sucks having to set my phone up all over again
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
it's strongly suggested.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
ugh finnneeee
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
I'm sure chef CK made some changes to the framework so I would suggest a fully clean install.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
or you could not and take 3 times as long troubleshooting an issue than it would have taken restore apps and stuff via TI Backup. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
always check the OP err'body :D

i keep that thing updated for a reason

and ya this one especially .. with the new kernel, 2.3.4 (which has a new file system of sorts), etc. - it's worth it ...

.. just use titanium. i've got the market auto restoring apps working again. those darn new gapps have been screwing a lot of people on that.

(i posted detailed instructions a few pages back about how to setup labels/filters to automate the whole process via titanium. this GREATLY reduces the time and headache of resetting everything back up. trust me, i often get to do it multiple times every day! it doesn't have to be painful)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
lol i am moving my apps to my SD card, i'll just do the wipe and set my phone up again

ckisgen, sweet i forgot about Titanium
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Ok, who stole my USB cable... Grrr.... :mad:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dementor123:
great boot animation! thanks ck and team.

why does the kernel version say "dirty" in it? ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
crushing. rewire a printer cable to micro...fast
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
lol, i wondered who was gonna say something about that first. git tags that to the back of the name when you pull down source code from a certain branch, make some modifications to the code, and then don't commit the changes. it doesn't really mean anything. it's not like i have a github at this point for the brand new kernel so i wasn't real worried about committing my code changes, resyncing, etc.

i started to give you a sweet story about how the kernel failed an STD test but it was on some meds and it was gonna be cleared up in a few days .. but honestly, i'm just out of energy!

PHEW
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I love you man! That ****'s hilarious!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
LMFAO, get some sleep and then wake up to the encore of thanks and applause!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Oh my god the boot animation is awesome

Should i restore apps without data?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
restore them with the data. that way they'll be as they were when you left them
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Thanks, I thought the data might mess something up so I wanted to ask before going any further.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
One word... WOW!

Now a few more words... WOW WOW WOW!

And Some final words... That boot animation is tits! Only problem (one I will gladly live with)... This damn ROM boots so friggin' fast you don't have time to see the whole animation! This is a back handed compliment... i think? ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i HIGHLY recommend NOT restoring data on SYSTEM apps (i think they're in green on the backup/restore menu in titanium) .. this can cause some issues .. ESP if you screw up and restore data from data that was backed up from a different version of android ..

be real cautious here .. i only restore data on apps like XDA, dropbox, etc. for login information and such
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
That is a good call. Sorry I forgot to mention that. I always hand select the apps I backup and never backup system apps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Yea i only restored user apps and data no system apps, thanked both of you as well as some others for your help. After I set up my phone again ill report back.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xiton:
Hey ckisgen,

What kernel is 2.0 based on, and what version?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] theinitial21:
what the hell?! so many roms being released today! lol, awesome job ck!! oh and i like the std story ahaha, i was at work and my boss had walked by hearing me laugh, he read it and his boss was walking by as well! LOL

awesome dude!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] yoyoma123:
OMGeee! I waited and waited. But now I have to run some errands! Lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
2.0's kernel is ckisgen smartass 1.0! Brand new kernel! That's what held up the 2.0 release. He said it'd be in 2.1 but he pushed it up for the 2.0 release! :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BCD90:
OMG!!!!

The only thing i can say is make sure you watch the awesome bootup image the first time cause this baby starts up so fast that you dont have time to see it after that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
About flash videos and desktop mode

If you would like to view flash videos on the stock browser via desktop mode, you might run into issues with only being able to hear the audio. Download Skyfire off of the market for free, set it to desktop mode under settings within the browser and make sure you have adobe flash installed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dementor123:
haha...that makes sense :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
this is a clip from my post a few pages back ... but i know it's already buried. just added it to OP (still WAY more to come on the changelog. it's gonna be insanely long)

MORE INFO ON ckisgen-smartass-CM7-v1.0 KERNEL:

bundled in RG2.0 is my first kernel build ckisgen-smartass-CM7-v1.0 . this was compiled using a base of zinx's latest CM7 stock kernel but i've added in the smartass governor (with some inspiration from dumbfuqs source code, thanks df!) and then tweaked a couple of addt'l values. i've bumped the default max clock to 1.1ghz. this kernel will overclock to 1.8ghz. i've got LOTS of plans for this in the future. i'm going to be working hard on it. i went with something like this for maximum compatibility with this latest 2.3.4 base and all the changes that it's brought about.

the ROM is awesome snappy with this kernel. but i will be maintaining/updating/supporting this kernel with new releases and many more tweaks and optimizations! stay tuned....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dementor123:
goto phone -> preferences -> Enable haptic feedback

the text says "see cyanogen settings to adjust". you may wanna change this in next version ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
aw, snap! consider it done.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] theinitial21:
im sad.... the boot animation doesnt load all the way cause this damn rom is too fast, lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I see the whole thing. I think that it has something to do with the fact that I have 150 apps on my phone though. :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lion766:
I apologize if I missed this. Are there no themes on 2.0? I only have system 1/1.

Or do I just download the ones labeled 1.5?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Yup... after restoring all my apps... I see the whole animation again. Good thing cuz I love it! I keep rebooting just to see it!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dementor123:
1.6 and 2.0 dont have themes. check the op for installing themes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Geoi1006:
Ooh cheese?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KingDavid63:
I don't know what the hell is going on but I can't open the first page of this thread... Craziest shut ever... Is it awesome?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xSunny:
The boot animation is amazing.. So far the rom is the **** nit amazingly fast.. Lets see how battery last me through today nd if i get any force closes =]
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
If you want to watch the boot animation without rebooting your phone adb shell, then type bootanimation then ctrl + C to get out. Just don't do it from terminal or there isn't any way to stop it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BCD90:
GPS!!!

I am absolutely blown away by the gps. Before i had a hard time getting it sync while driving down the street. Now im sitting in my room in my house windows closed and it synced up in less than 10 seconds. If that isn't amazing then i don't know what is. Cki and royal team you guys are amazing. If you are not using this rom right now dl and flash immediately you will not regret it.

Thank you team royal for your hard work and dedication. Amazing amazing amazing!!!!!!!:):):)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xiton:
Awesome, thank you very much for the info!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] m3ng:
I cany receive pic message from my girls iphone4. Anyone ? I can receive from myself tho
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BCD90:
I may just be an idiot but i can not for the life of me find the setting for long press back button to end running apps. I checked every setting and i looked at input like 3 times cause this is where i thought it was. I also checked spare parts. I know it was on 1.6. Was it left out or am i just being a retard??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dementor123:
settings -> applications -> development -> stop app via long-press
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BCD90:
Ahh me being a retard as usual. Much thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Haze69:
My wifi seems to keep dropping, I've already tried re wiping and installing and still have the same problem, anyone have any ideas why? Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
fix permissions?

its basically the same wifi module as cm7 .. were you on that recently at all? same issues or no?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TmobileDash12:
can anyone say..

HELLO DAILY DRIVER?!

This was well worth the wait.

Makes me hungrier for 2.1

IDK how much you can improve it though to be honest lmao.

Maybe a money making feature? :P
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
have her send the pics to me n then I'll fwd them to you!

:D

do you have wifi on or off? sometimes having it on screws it up. I haven't had any mms issues at all since going to 2.3 and i rarely if ever get this reported so I don't really have any good tips off the cuff...I know people have had some success in the past with using a custom user agent in the SMS settings.

try Googling 'cm7 mms fix custom user agent' and see what you find.

please report back if you have any success so that you may help others in the future if it comes up again.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kennyp987:
Just flashed...

Well this rom is awesome

MT4G + CM7 + Faux's BFS LV kernel
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Haze69:
Not really to be honest, the signal seems to be very weak where the last two roms I was on were strong (glacier and miui).. I'm not sure. Maybe its weak and dropping but it should be strong..?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yep, the GPS on v2.0 is nothing short of amazing.

thru testing i just couldn't believe how fast and consistently it locked.

like today, the first time i flashed this release build that you guys are on, i was sitting inside and it was completely overcast and raining out. (not ideal conditions according to conv wisdom) first time opening maps, it locked in probably 3 seconds. it also narrows down that circle that closes in around the blue dot (which is the range of error or whatever) is almost always barely bigger than the blue dot itself .. and it narrows itself down like that faster than any other ROM i've used

win

:D

(your welcome BCD90)

oh ya, i almost forgot - a day or two ago, i was out in the middle of nowhere driving to a property i'd never been to .. and was naturally using the maps navigation. my cell signal started getting ultra weak and eventually crapped out all together. my GPS never even missed a lick! i couldn't friggin' believe it. i didn't think these A-GPS cell navi apps could even do that. i remember on my iPhail3GS with the $100 TomTom app that I had to buy for proper voice guided turn by turn - the second my signal would poop (which was quite often .. thanks at&t) the app would immediately stop working.

win x2
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
not sure. mine has been humming along as it usually does on 2.3 ..

you could try flashing faux's 2.6.1 kernel and see if that works better for you.

if nothing helps and this turns out not to be the 'one' for you - just keep in mind, i'll be updating and improving the kernel steadily so check back in and give it another shot soon.

glaciers a solid ROM and Drew does a great job with it.

happy flashing!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Use mine use mine :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
haha .. i'll see you later in your aosp thread buddy :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hunteryezd:
Last night is amazing!!

Great work！！I would spread it to China soon!!​
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Speaking of GPS (which does work really really well), I am getting the dreaded "icon on the status bar after turning off GPS" nuttiness. Never was an issue for me on other ROMs, is there a fix?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
this has been a long standing issue on CM7 .. however, for me, it's better on this than i've ever seen it.

here's the deal: if you turn the GPS off via the power widget WHILE the GPS is ACTIVE (solid dot in the icon, not blinking) then it's gonna be stuck.

now .. on CM builds and also on RG v1.5 and v1.6 - the GPS would stay active (solid dot on the icon) for several seconds after I would exit out of Maps or whatever app or service was calling on the GPS. but in v2.0 - if I 'close' Maps (with the back button .. not sure about home button) - the GPS goes inactive like instantly.

just make sure the GPS isn't in use before you turn GPS off with the power widget.

in the rare case that it DOES get stuck on there - just turn GPS back on in the power widget, open Maps back up and hit the 'find me' button and let GPS relock your location ... after it's got a sat lock - exit Maps (back button) and the icon should go away.

NOW turn GPS off :D

(that sounded a lot more complicated than it really is ... i'm super pleased with how much quicker/better the GPS icon falls off when exiting an app using GPS .. as long as you remember not to turn it off while it's active/enabled .. you'll be fine)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
How about me... spread my AOSP too :D I love Chinese, I will give them all my heart and support :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
could someone please get this guy a hooker? he's finally finished his update and has way too much time and mental capacity laying around ...

:p:eek::p

(.. and PS - stay away from my foothold on China! i had them first! .. damn poachers)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Yup! That did it! You sir, are awesome! Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Um yeah this ROM if pure AWESOMENESS. All hail CK, best developer ever.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KingDavid63:
God job ck as always blazing man...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] yoyoma123:
Woah, woah, woah! AMAZING! Thank you for all the hard work, RoyalGinger! =D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kaiso:
Is it better to use the setcpu app or just adjust settings in settings>RG settings> Performance> CPU settings? For my own edification, what's the difference?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Please refer to the OP. TY!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lalab0y:
hmm..i thought i read the new google voice/video chat will be available over 3g/4g network? am i wrong?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
Pure awesomeness as per usual thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
PS LOVE the new boot animation and sound!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dementor123:
Hahaha...

You both are awesome. You both need some today ;)

Any suggestions for a good dialer? I hate stock dialer and don't like buggy go dialer. And i don't wanna build one for myself ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KingDavid63:
Hey ck is your kernel Lv or stock?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
Thanks for an AWESOME rom! but I'm getting process android.media forceclose

Should I fix permissions for this to go away?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] petrochemicals:
Try reformatting your memory card first.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] yoyoma123:
What happened to the HD modes in the camera and video recorder? Does it even make a difference?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
I will try that and see what happens.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KingDavid63:
Damn got a 2400.with faux kernel....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
I have the HD options on 2.0. What do you mean?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
FAQ, FAQ, FAQ, FAQ!!

everyone, please check our FAQ site (link in OP) before posting a question!!

this is also covered lightly in OP itself.

(PS, I even altered the menu itself to say we recommend not using these settings in royalginger inside of performance settings)

:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Love the new shutter sound. Always the little things.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TmobileDash12:
Not to sound like a noob and everything, but how do you remove the bootsound?

I usually turn off my phone during school because I get too distracted if it's on :P

Then I turn it on while in the hallway, and I don't want everyone looking at me when the sound turns on.

Wouldn't want to be accused of showing off my RoyalGinger :P
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
I like the new shutter sound as well Nice touch!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
Just use a file explorer and delete the android_audio.mp3 from /system/media
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
you can also turn it off using a very simple terminal command..

that way if you ever want to enable again, its still there!

please see the FAQ FAQ FAQ (link in OP) for directions! !
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I personally would clear both caches and fix permissions first.

then try formatting SD card (backup the stuff u wanna keep obviously)
