I am not sure for Tango and Qik (because I don't use these) but it does not works with Yahoo IM. It's being looked at by one of the devs here.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DoUknoGREG:
Aww man :/...I remember thay I 1.4, the FFC on tango worked, but my video was upside down when my friend saw me. I was just wondering if that was fixed
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jacezo:
I love the features this rom had to offer such as stock swype, the aosop launcher, and great speed. The only problem is that it isn't very stable. I get a lot of launcher and game fc's, the screen often has problems turning on, the screen gets such in landscape often, and my phone randomly rebootseven when I'm not doing anything particularly taxing for the cpu.

Edit: it appears that done of these issues are being worked on already.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
uh, you need to full wipe and reflash. this is the most stable ROM I've ever flashed on my device when installed properly.

once in a blue moon you can do everything right and just have a flash that didn't seem to 'take'. just full wipe and reflash.

after you've done all of this, if it persists id be willing to bet you have some rogue app or something running in the background that is messing something up.

AND make sure you're NOT restoring data on SYSTEM apps via titanium. this will also cause behavior like this.

some stock launcher FCs have been reported by some though the only way we've replicated in testing is when we purposely don't full wipe.

the launcher not following screen orientation settings via settings menu has been fixed in 1.5 which will be out momentarily. likely tomorrow. maybe even tonight of final testing flies thru. there shouldn't be any more stock launcher FCs after this either.

but if for some reason there is - just find a 3rd party launcher you like and remove or freeze the stock one. you should be good to go.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Loving this ROM. The only issues I run into is the settings menu and all other menus get stuck in landscape

But I hear that if getting fixed in 1.5 anyways and the other thing is that sometimes my youtube HD won't work. It'll play the sound but the video portion won't play, but it all works after a reboot so I'm not displeased at all with ROM. The DEVS did ann excellent job on this. Anywhere to donate?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes landscape lanucher issues should be resolved in 1.5 and so should any video and flash issues (though I haven't really heard of any/many except those who upgraded to flash 10.2)

1.5 is rebased from cm7 rc3 and with fauxs latest kernel - major video driver updates. also wifi drivers and several others.

flash 10.2 has been running smooth as silk for me on webpages youtube etc.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
also please direct donations to royalknights signature.

thank you guys for the support.

we work REALLY hard and really long hours every week on these ROMs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
::on pins and needles waiting "patiently" for 1.5::
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Sorry ran into some issues with 1.5 still working on it. Won't be tonight. Sorry. Trying to make this release the release you guys deserve. Thanks for your patience and support.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jacezo:
Good to know. I'm on pain old cm7 right now but I'll make sure to wipe everything twice when I flash 1.5. I'll also be sure to check my titanium backups although I'm pretty sure I only back up apps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] beelbeel:
My home screen currently consists of desktop visualizer and minimalistic text widgets, as does my widgetlocker lock screen. I seem to lose all of them every time I reboot (which is not often). Does anybody else have issues like this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
I have before, but I flash ROMs a lot, so it disappeared after a clean install. I don't have a fix, but most likely the issue would be resolved if you follow the ops directions for a clean install (not that you didn't the first time, just sometimes as they say the install doesn't "take" completely).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] beelbeel:
I actually wiped everything before installing this rom, and frankly, setting up my home screen and widget locker again when I occasionally restart is much more convenient than wiping everything and setting up again. Perhaps I'll do that again when the next version of this rom comes out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
I would imagine this release has been delayed due to RC4 coming out today. Can't wait to see the result!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes I was working on final test build when rc4 hit though I knew it was likely to happen so I'm gonna put together a build while I finish my current one and make sure rc4 is as stable as the build I currently am finishing up.

but if any issues come up during testing on rc4 then I'm just gonna release my current build and catch it on the next update.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Excited.....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
This ROM rocks. Can't wait for 1.5. Thanks for all the hard work guys! I have tried every ROM out for this phone and this is by far the fastest and most stable.

One question though does the SU command for RemoveLauncher Stock now longer function?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
it works again in 1.5 :D

if you enjoy our roms, please hit the thanks button boys n goyles .. its what keeps me going late at night working on these ROMs ;) ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
Word thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
If I may ask, what about the wifi tethering and hot spot? Not trying to push, just curious.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
both should be functional. will be verifying these in final testing.

trying to finish up final (hopefully) test build tonight if i can stay awake ... but will have to be tested most if not all day tomorrow so hopefully we will see a release tomorrow afternoon/evening if nothing unforeseen comes up ... so far so good
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
You guys are awesome, good job man, take your time and finish it up right! I'm pumped up about this!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
this ones gonna be epic .. lots of cool new goodies .. not sacrificing speed or performance though. which has been a lot of the heavy lifting.

there's also even more under the hood type improvements that most of you will never 'see' but should be able to tell by how smooth and stable it will be.

also, though i am still expecting some improvement in performance/speed overall ... a great deal of what you would notice is being offset by all the new features and requests being baked in. but again, don't worry - we didn't go overboard here and the other improvements that have been made behind the scenes should more than make up for it.

plus, if you're like me and get down with the less is more concept - even with this 1.5 release ... just freeze whatever you don't use with titanium and you'll be running around setting worlds on fire with this puppy :D

here's a little teaser from one of my alpha builds last night ...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Did you folks get the video issue fixed? For example, record a 20 second video using RoyalGinger 1.5 and then play it back. Change from vertical to landscape mode a couple of times over and over and it will start to tweak. All of the CM7/RoyalGinger builds have had this problem sadly.....

BTW, I've tried different video players but the problem persists.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i'll look into it while we're in testing .. have you tried it on the nightly #31, rc3, and/or rc4 along with fauxs 2.3 or 2.4.2 kernels?

those CM's have the latest adreno drivers along with other video style updates ... which is what 1.5 is going to be based off of ...

...if it does happen to linger and i can't find a fix for it .. not trying to sound like a #&$* or anything but do you really have a need to rotate your screen orientation back and forth repeatedly while watching a short video clip? (or long for that matter) i mean if that's what you have to do to set it off, i can't really see that ever coming up in the normal course of use, no? am i just not getting something about this?

(again, i already said i'd look into it and will do anything i can to fix it if it's possible on my end, just a side question i guess, el oh el)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Well I'm not always going to be switching orientations but sometimes it trips out quickly and if someone that is in the know sees the bug, I'll feel a little foolish. BTW, I've tried RC4, same issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bapurado:
just wondering but does the camcorder record in 720p with gingerbread? i heard reports that it doesnt and i just wanted to make sure
[myTouch 4G Android Development] edboy21:
Excited!

Is the release still happening today? Im excited to try out 1.5!! Thanks for the hard work guys!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
The first rule of crack flashing is...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ha...yep :D

that's a good rule.

since I'm a sucka for this stuff..I'll spoil and let you guys know I spent 6 hours straight today dealing with computer issues.

I have 3 OS's on my comp, all of which are setup for dev'ing and all of them gave me fits and issues today. in other words .. not tonight. sorry boys n gorillas

not for lack of effort.. up til 3am last night working on it and up at 8am back on it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
What operating systems do you have? I run XP still but am looking to get kubuntu up and running on one of mine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I run OSX snow leopard, XP, and Ubuntu 10.10 on my macbook
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
You can run apple and Microsoft OS on the same computer?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aalsmadi1:
yup, i think it's called bootcamp
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
hellz ya man. ever since they came out with these Intel macs a couple years ago ... I run XP as a virtual machine inside a program called parallels which lets me run XP inside its own application window simultaneously while in OSX. like, lets say I'm humming along in my usual OSX world .. got Chrome open with gmail, xda, whatever. all I do is click on the parallels icon in my dock and it pulls up a separate application window just like Chrome, Safari, Excel, whatever and boots up XP right there.. in like a minute or so (same time or less it would take to boot XP from cold start on a normal windows machine) its up and running. I can do anything in there I can on standalone XP...it shares my printers. internet connection, etc. even all my files..I can just drag and drop a file or folder from OSX right onto my XP desktop and vice versa. effing wicked.

I do dual boot for Ubuntu .. aka shut down OSX and reboot off an external HDD to work in that. but no biggie.

having access to all 3 OS's on one machine is really sweet.

that's probably about as far into off topic world as we need to go on this one...feel free to PM me if you have any further questions comments on this.

cheers all you lovely gingervites,

...oh ya a little eye candy for your patience on 1.5 ... a screenie of my homescreen running one of the new (my personal fav) themes on an alpha 1.5 test build and also my battery life so far today on said build...

:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxpada:
suhweeeeeeet!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
just a quick update...putting finishing touches to finally be able to flash the beta test build for v1.5

let's keep our fingers crossed for mr. murphy and his law to stay out of the testing process cos he's been all up in the rest of the stages so far

if nothing major comes out of testing, could be looking at later half of tomorrow ... otherwise, could be another day or two. hopefully not ... been working virtually around the clock trying to get this out!!

thanks for the support and patience .. you guys should be real darn happy real darn soon

:D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
You're a machine bro. Don't forget to take breaks too! As excited as we all are (I'm on vacation checking for an update lol) no one wants you and the team burning out. I'm excited though, can't wait to see what this brings.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] awdlexusis:
Haha I keep checking around the clock to. Keep up the good work,excited to see what's next
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
I am having major issues watching/streaming video from websites.

It will not play right at all.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mathato:
Did you updated to flash 10.2? If you did that's most likely your problem.

I had to degrade to 10.1 because of how bad the video was.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Yes, im on 10.2

How do you get back to 10.1? I want to try that and see how that works
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mathato:
Find the 10.1.apk. (sorry I don have a link) uninstall 10.2 and install 10.1 restart and you should be good.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
Think u can go to market then go to ur app and find flash player then uninstall updates
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mathato:
I think I had tried that when I was having the same problem and they don't give you that option. When you install 10.2 it completely replaces 10.1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
I did yesterday very weird I uninstalled updated on royal glacier but doesn't have thatoption on minuit think if u have a rom that already comes with flash 10.1 then it lets. U just uninstall update
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jester450:
Is it bad checking and checking for the release?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tvotony:
When I have royalginger as a daily rom it seems to not function well. Meaning the screen freezes plus it can get unresponsive at times. And it restarts.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
This is the most smooth rom I've ever run including stock, it should be installed clean. Fastboot wipe, and full wipe as per OP. Only thing optional in my opinion is the SD wipe, not necessary. It should be smoother than silk after that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dacquesta1:
I completely agree. I've been messing around tirelessly over the last few weeks with all of them (thunder, royalmint, royalmiui, royalglacier and royalginger) and royalginger is by far the fastest, smoothest most stable rom that I have run. It is now my daily driver.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tvotony:
what did it mean to remove the stock launcher?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gitm:
I couldn't agree with you more.

I'm still dealing with the freezing upon wake issue, but I know little work arounds to kinda "disable" it. Otherwise I enjoy this rom the most, which is hard to say cause I really enjoy sense over cm.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Ok, I edited my post above, auto correct does funny things sometimes. However you can remove the stock homepage launcher ONLY IF you have a different one installed, you remove the app and system file via root explorer. Not necessary but will free up some memory. What I was trying to say was, for clean install

First fastboot wipe the system, this has to be done from the Eng bootloader. Use command prompt.

fastboot erase system -w

Then in clockwork recovery

Wipe system/data

Wipe cache

Then select advanced

Wipe dalvik

Go back and choose mounts and storage

Format boot

Format system

NOW install the zip on your sparkling clean system.

Enjoy

Not everyone does the fastboot wipe but I have done it both ways and it really does seem to help

The two files you delete to remove are:

/system/app/launcher2.apk

And

/data/data/com.android.launcher

The app may not be named launcher2.apk that's what I remember but its been a week, its something like that though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmdmilitia13:
This rom has been very stable off the bat.. Never had an issue with the launcher but changed it to laincher pro... One thing I noticed tho is that this mornin the vibrate on my keys is real light...i tebooted twice & still very light,anyone else had this issue? Other than that this my daily driver,lovin the 80's style shut off lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Never experianced that, the haptic settings are found here:

/settings/sound

And

/settings/cyanogenmod settings/input/haptic feedback tweaks

There are lots of tweak found in the cyanogen area I listed, check it out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Damnit, when will I learn, I'm happy with royal-gb running honeycomb, don't flash other themes, it will irritate me. Now I gotta reflash everything to fix it... lol stupid me
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aalsmadi1:
Any news on 1.5? I'm feindin
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tvotony:
I agree
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tvotony:
That's what happens when you do a fastboot wipe?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dacquesta1:
A fastboot wipe shouldn't be necessary if you are formatting all partitions in recovery anyway...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
That is an explanation of two different processes.

The fastboot wipe is for doing everything you can to ensure there are no bits and pieces left over from previous ROM's giving you trouble with your current install.

The launcher part is if you want to get rid of the launcher than comes with the ROM and use one of your choice (like launcher pro, go launcher, adw, etc). Most people just set the launcher they want as default and call it a day, but minimalists (like myself) prefer to get rid of any apk they aren't using.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
In theory that's correct, but I've seen a bit smoother operation performing the fastboot wipe first, I can't explained why, should be the same, but no.e the less its true on my phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] laggo:
Wru 1.5... I want haz u!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jester450:
+1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Must... not... pressure... ckisgen...

Must not... give in... to... crack...flashing... itch...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] laggo:
Haha. I can't wait for 1.5! But I know they wont release it until it is just right. TeamRoyal does amazing work! Keep it up!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dacquesta1:
I am by no means trying to argue the fastboot wipe method. I'm just saying that I don't understand how anything could be left if boot system data cache sdext and android secure are all formatted how anything could be left. I personally have never done fastboot wipe and I've run into no issues. I would be interested to see if there was a way to compare fastboot vs recovery formatting. As I said I'm not trying to discredit anyone by any means I'm just curious as to an explanation.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
The only evidence I can offer is that I have flashed multiple roms with and without fastboot wiping and every time without fail I have more issues when I don't fastboot. I've talked to development around here and they seem split, some swearing.g by fastboot, others never using it. To me this says its a system to system thing, some phones it matters some not. Not all chips are created equal. The fastboot wipe will never hurt though and takes on avg. 30 seconds to do so... I err on the side of overkill lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dacquesta1:
No such thing as overkill lol...guess I just have a cooperative phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
word to the wise. I installed a theme flash zip which I ended up hating so I re-wiped and re-flashed everything to get a clean go of it.

In the process of restoring everything and getting everything the way I want it, I found the latinime.apk in the /system/app folder and wondered what it was. I looked it up and discovered that it's the stock keyboard. I don't use the stock keyboard I use Better Keyboard 8 so I figured, who needs it, right?

Wrong.

I was setting up my bank account app and went to enter my info, it wouldn't pull up the numbers keypad. apparently that was a stock keyboard function. re-wiped and re-installed everything AGAIN to get it back.

Save yourselves the headache lol, keep that file!

(a little off topic but this is the rom I'm running doing it so I thought it could be relevant)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dacquesta1:
Lol yeah...to my knowledge those other keyboards are basically a skin over the default android APK...devs correct me if I'm wrong
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
....it's almost upon us....

OK guys ... I know you've been waiting. And you've been really patient all things considered. I know it's taken a few extra days but it's getting REEEEAL close to go time on v1.5 and I thought I'd give you loyal flashers a little eye candy preview of our favorite redhead in action :D

(nope, this isn't sense .. this is RoyalGinger 1.5 .. took this pic just now .. and all of this can easily be turned off for those aosp purists out there. just wanted to show you a little sample of some of the new tricks she can do)

I didn't get to bed until 6am last night (this morning) working hard on finishing touches. And that's not the first time in the last few days. We are coming to the back end of testing and should be able to release this to you guys sometime between....real soon and extremely soon :D sorry, ETAs bit me in the tail a little on this one so I don't really feel like having to remove my foot from my mouth again but I wouldn't go TOO terribly far from the boards any time real soon..

..gotta go jump back in the fire!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
No worries....thanks for all the hard work. :-]

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Looking good.

Getting excited!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DoUknoGREG:
That looks awesome! One question, does the FFC work with tango yet?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
nope, i don't believe so. i'm not able to test this personally but i've tried to track down a fix for this more than once. from what i can tell - it's an issue between Tango and 2.3.x based ROMs (gingerbread) and our device. since HTC hasn't 'officially' issued a 2.3 update (sense) for our devices - i'm guessing Tango isn't going to bother fixing it until then. and fixing this FOR Tango is well outside of my own scope of expertise .. but i have been and will continue to keep my eyes open in the dev community for fixes if/when someone figures out how to do it ...

i've had more than one user try modifying the build.prop IDs .. which is the only fix i've even heard of for this and it doesn't seem to fix it for us ..

<<insert BP CEO "sorrrryy" here>>
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DoUknoGREG:
Awwww man that sucks! D=

But i am still going to flash this ROM, cuz it seems to have the best battery life for me! Im using royal thunder right now, and its an awesome rom but the battery just dies too quick on me =(

It only lasts me about 7 hours, while royal ginger could last me anywhere from 12-16 hours!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
The FFC works fine for me on tango. I tried it last night. What issue are you having with it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DoUknoGREG:
When i video chat on it, i can see my friend's video perfectly, but my friend's say that my video is upside down =( lmao...i tested it out, and it was upside down >.<
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
It's because that ROM has the actually percentage of the battery at the top. That's what's causing part of the insane battery drain. There's a link that I posted in that thread to get the regular battery. And someone else even posted a flashable framework file for stock battery on Royal Thunder after me. So try those two out and see if it's better for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Lol ok I got the same problem than. I just hold the phone upside down just thought it was the app. Could care less as long as it worked lol
