[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
Wouldn't it have stopped working if it was bricked after I had flashed the radio? After I flashed the radio yesterday, actually I think it was Monday, I let the battery drain to 1% and I turned it off to charge. It worked perfectly fine... I was even getting a better signal and everything with the updated radio...

I'm on hold with TMobile right now... I just got the phone in January so I don't know what they'll say to do?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
Tmobile is going to send me a new phone under my warranty. But won't they be able to see that I've rooted my phone once they receive the broken one? Or is it pretty much just gone because it won't turn on?

Folks, what's happen to v2.2? is this development dead?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
No, he's still working on it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Remember that long post I made a day or two ago about ck's files being ruined and he lost everything, and he's working hard trying to get running, so be patient?

I got a message via gtalk from ck last night as I was getting into bed. It simply said:

"I'm Baaaaaaaaaaack"

Be warned.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] yellowjeep:
That sucks about losing files. But great to hear the second part!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] anthonya1g:
I think they should have a page where you can get the latest updates for the software (apps) included in a particular ROM. I seriously need to be on this forum more often. Thanks @altroy2

I upgraded my roomie's phone from stock to this ROM and the first thing he said was "WHOA! It's so fast!"

Haha..yes, I do love this ROM. =)

I work for T-Mobile and I rarely let a MyTouch 4G leave my store without this ROM on it, even if it's new.

I myself however am having an issue with mine, the screen off animation has stopped working even though I have it enabled. I reinstalled the ROM (no wipe) and it still doesn't work. I would really rather not do a full wipe. Any ideas?

I left for virtual fusion. 24hrs and im fladhing back. I like sense interface but 6hr battery dont cut it

Wow so you root, update, and flash new customers phones?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] marseillesw:
Why can't I get that kind of service when I go in the store...smh lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gr8one698:
Did you try going to spare parts and switching windows transition and opening speed to normal instead of fast? That did it for me. Good luck.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
Im back...,.. missed the battery life toooo much
[myTouch 4G Android Development] LOONEyRR:
is anyone else having calling issues now? ive never had issues with anything until i try calling. it doesnt go through, and my txt's arent sending out. i doubt it has anything to do with the rom.its not connected to the network. and also to be sure, i wiped everything and reflashed. still nothing.fml.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mkamal23:
Def by far the best Rom ever... I honestly have flashed almost every rom possible for this phone and I just come back to RoyalGinger. Battery life, speed, GPS lock, netflix, I could keep going on... but just wanted to say Thank you!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] anon1ski:
Cause it is illegal =]
[myTouch 4G Android Development] marseillesw:
So watch your back bro
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pseudoswede:
I've had this ROM since it came out. Starting a few days ago, my phone has been having issues connecting to the 4G network, not receiving phone calls, as well as rebooting randomly. Once, when charging in my car, the battery temperature got up to 58°C!

I'm going to reflash to see what happens.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] anon1ski:
As for the signal, are you on gingerbread radio? As for the rest make sire your charger isn't fried/bent to much/made for a special uae and sending different voltages or something of the sort.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:

I had this problem on this Rom while trying to use 'Root Call Blocker'. You by chance aren't using or have that installed do you?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
no i definitely agree. but still i thought three days was gonna be the norm from now on. but no worries. as you said 1day+ is still pretty damn good

Not exactly. My team used to do it as a selling point, and I didn't work for T-Mobile, I worked for a contractor that sells T-Mobile.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] billwinkle:
All I can say is wow. I've been using my vibrant for months with different roms. My MT4G has been sitting in my briefcase for 3 months. I finally rooted her and installed this rom. And all I can say is why didn't I do this sooner. I guess my Vibrant ia going to take a break for a while. This phone flies. I think it is stealing my Redbull!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unk2009:
Quick question, what is the normal battery life for this ROM? I've been enjoying this rom since 1.6 and its phenomenal...I'm getting approximately 15hrs on a full charge, but I do use my phone a lot...About an hour our two in calls,4-5 hrs bluetooth connectivity,4-5 hrs wifi about 2hrs fb st least an hour or so on XDA and about 1/2 hr on androidspin and about an hr on medscape for research purposes....

[myTouch 4G Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Does this rom support ext3 or 4?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Unless I'm mistaken all gingerbread roms are ext4. Royal Ginger is for sure though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
Considering ck's focus on consistent operation, the major update to cm lately being the updated kernel, and the cm nightlies seeming to have some issues with stability, I would be surprised to see a major update so soon. I have yet to see a significant update worth altering this rom for anyway. Its fast, smooth, and rock solid. Why mess with a good thing. My two cents.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nbturbos:
That did the trick for me too. Thanks for the tip!

And don't out me to TMO. I like my job guys! I take proper precautions to protect the customer as well as myself when I do the "upgrades"

Does anyone know what a good radio would be to flash? If any? I live in Minneapolis and just wanted to get the most out of my mt4g.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
Everyone gets different results. I get best results with the latest radio, but i live in the west. I'd recommend trying them out and see what works for you and your specific location.

is there an app ported to the mt4g or royal ginger as of late that utilizes the glacier as a bluetooth ps3 remote for basic menu navigation functions?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
Eventhough Im not a gamer, that would be cool. But for basic things like watchn netflix or dvd as u mentioned. Id search in themes and apps. Even some other forums. I think I saw something on xda's home page that an app was being deved for it. Make sure u read the users comments and see if it worked for someone with a mt4g already.

I just wanted to post one more reply on this thread to say thank you to CK and everyone else who made the myTouch 4g such a fun phone to have. I would not know what I would have done without RG on my myTouch. I got the g2x today and will be selling the myTouch. The development section over there is sad compared to here, but hopefully it will pick up. Thanks again to everyone and maybe we will see some Team Royal roms for the g2x (I can wish, right?)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:

pre-release release for all the loyal Gingerites ... ckisgen-smartass-CM7-v1.5

this was a fairly minor update compared to some of the last few, however there is some additional driver/config cleanups and I also focused on trying to improve overall WiFi stability / performance as much as possible. WiFi on v1.4 wasn't all there on occasion. v1.5 seems to have tidied some of those loose ends up ... for me anyway

enjoy ...

[myTouch 4G Android Development] anon1ski:
hey ck, are you thinking of possibly using one of the (barely) stable recent cm releases as maybe a tester/start for your release?

and on another note, if you are will you be using someone elses kernel or recompiling your own?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i've been working on some variation of that for almost a month now ... and since v2.0 - i compile RoyalGinger 100% from CM7 source so i'm not really "based" on any actual version that the CM team releases. those are arbitrary lines in the sand they draw and put a version number on it. i pick and choose which parts i want and don't and then add in my own stuff.

LONG story short .. i've spent 3 out of the last 4 weeks without any internet at home. add to that my glacier being throttled on the 4th day without home internet so i've basically been on a strict diet of 50kbps MAX down speeds for the month of June.

AND my whole source code / project folder got wiped out around that same time so I've spent the month painstakingly rebuilding my whole project / ecosystem / Ginger World from scratch one kilobyte at a time.

on a lighter note - about an hour ago I was able to get (albeit a very raw / elementary test version) an early v2.2 test build booted and running properly for the first time this month.

i've also had LOADS of other "life" stuff going on .. it's been a trying time to say the least. (hold the violins please)

in any event .. looks like i'm finally back on track. high speed wifi is back at home, got unthrottled yesterday, and Ginger is finally back to behaving like she should in some basic form anyway ... so i'm hoping to get this puppy into testing this week and out the door shortly thereafter. ( i said HOPING .. )

and yes, it will have what will likely be v2.0 of my kernel bundled .. i've also been in the process of getting that all updated in preparation for all of this.

thanks for all the patience you guys .. i've seriously still been working on all of this at least 5 or more days a week this whole time. it's just been frustrating and ultra slow moving with both arms and legs tied behind my back.

fear not though .. hopefully most and/or all of this is in the rear view now

i'll be in touch ... as always

:D

ck....kid i aint mad one bit at your absence. 2.1 is nasty ... i just checked the batt stats for this charge and i just broke 4 days on this battery AND i been talkin on it even used wifi a couple times... so if 2.1 was the last version youd ever did? id be a little sad just for a moment until i realized 2.1 is the dope and what more could ya ask for . .. im not even sure how you could improve it much. batt life is just rediculous , its crazy stable , fast ? where else can ya go from here? have it start holding conversations with ya? i i mean short of 3d graphic engine i dont think it could be improved too much

So after my fiasco with my old phone, I got my new mytouch from tmobile.

I rooted it, and had RG installed and all was well. Then today when I turned my phone on it wouldn't go past the mytouch screen. Tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, fixing permissions, and even gave up and just did a full wipe and re-flashing RG. It installs and says install complete but after reboot, it just sits at mytouch screen still. I tried restoring my nandroid from stock after I rooted but recovery tells me it can't format /system. And whenever I do anything in recovery it says

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Is there a problem with my recovery now? Is that why I'm having troubles flashing RG and restoring my nand backup?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] y2k1ltd:
Are you able to reboot into recovery?

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
I'm able to get into recovery by turning my phone on with Vol Down and Power then selecting recovery. But in recovery I keep getting those errors. I've wiped data several times and tried flashing RG and another ROM with no luck. RG says install is completed but when I reboot it stays at Mytouch screen and the other ROM I tried flashing just fails and says unable to install.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Did you happen to flash the Eng. Bootloader before all this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
I think you're getting the error that's accompanied with the bad eMMC chip. If you go to the eMMC chip thread in I think the General Section you'll find plenty of people that have that same problem. From my knowledge it's bricked, so hopefully you have a warranty.

Just go to that thread and perform the short ADB commands needed to check your chip via recovery. That way you'll know for sure if you have the good or bad chip.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
Won't they void my warranty though once they see that I've rooted my phone?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
They will probably ask you to do all sorts of battery pull, power phone on/off stuff over the phone. The hardest part is to have them agree to replace your phone with whatever reason you can come up with. Once they agreed to your RMA, they usually don't check.

Do you have insurance on the phone? At worst, they might charge you for deductible or they might charge you with a re-stocking fee, but either case is still way better than paying full price for a new phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Honestly I don't think they even check. I've sent back about 4 rooted MT4G's to them. All I did was reflash the stock mySense to make it look stock.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] acsi007:
And, if that doesn't work, isn't the prevailing M.O. to advance a forever-softbrick/failed-pu/looping cache error (if all else fails) to flash the pd15img and pull the batt halfway thru to brick it? I mean, the devices at that point are functional bricks anyway, we can just adjust their state to a cosmetic place where it's acceptable to RMA....

Here's something I've come across, and I think my roommates phone is doing it too.

When I tell Facebook to sync with existing contacts, it does so for most of them, but I have some friends who are on fb and in my phone, but it doesn't sync properly.

When I view their contact info I see a data string of: <HTCData><Facebook>id:528808136/friendof:694775101</Facebook></HTCData>

I know this is either an HTML or XML string that it's trying to push/pull data, but is the error on my phone's side or on Facebook's side?
