As I sit here 14 hours off the charger with 48% charge left on my battery, it occurs to me that it almost doesn't seem fair to users of other ROMs. But then I laugh maniacally at their ignorance of the ROM of the Gods.

If they wanna sit at the kids table, let 'em!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
I'm wondering the same thing. I want to know if anyone has experienced any benefits after flashing a new radio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
I'm running 26.09.04.26 and it is fantastic. Good grip on 4G, slight improvemt in data speeds over stock, real good on the battery. Go ahead and flash it... but Read, read, and then read again on the proper procedure to do it.

Paying special attention to make sure the MD5 checksums are correct.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Guide on the site also.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
I have searched the themes section and can only find one theme specifically for RG and the few in the OP. I am afraid to try a cm7 theme cause last time I did it made my phone unusable and I had to re flash the rom. So my question is, what themes are you guys using with this ROM?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
any theme that says its compatible with the latest nightly builds should be work without an issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] esincho:
Use cm7 themes thru theme chooser. Those shouldn't mess nothing up
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I'm also on this radio. and I like it.

worth the flash. IMO
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
haha...brilliant!

I'm 13 hours / 55% left

:D the view from the top sure is nice

How r u getting such awesome battery life?

N/M...just realized I was in the total ginger thread...lol...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AJ26T:
Where can I get the themes like in the pictures posted on 1st page
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaleroca:
Is there any fix or a way I can change the way the contacts and dialer operates? I have no dedicated button for voice mail, although I tried to set one up. Also every time I click onto my contacts I start from the top. Aside for that, I must say that the battery life on this ROM is great and the ROM its self is fast. Just need that fixed. Or a work around.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
I downloaded 'minimal magic for cm7' from the market and half way through applying from theme chooser I got a repetitive force close that would not go away. I pulled the battery and after that just had a black screen with the repetitive fc.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Did you try fixing permissions from recovery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jigajay:
I use phantom theme for theme chooser it themes the market black and has a transparent dialer I usually use blue magic but I don't think you can flash it with 2.1 yet
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ok, well the developer of the kernel that is on this ROM says completely otherwise ... quote from his instructions:

CM Settings -> CPU Performance does NOT set the CPU speed/governor properly with my kernel... Still need SetCPU 2.1.x in order to make the changes stick.

----

I, personally, am going to stick with the developer of the kernel on this, but you guys are all free to do whatever you'd like with your phone :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
EDIT: didn't realize you could mount your SD card within recovery..genius! no need to reboot to transfer the ROM .zip back to your freshly formatted SD card, in recovery - click on 'Mounts and Storage' and then 'mount USB storage' and drop it in there (connect USB cable to your comp...duh), i've edited my instructions below to reflect this..

yes, if you format your SD card (which is recommended) you will lose all data .. back them up to your computer, format it ... then mount USB within recovery , transfer the ROM zip onto the cleaned SD ...then full wipe and install

.. is how I do it anyway
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbetso:
royal and you please tell me what is RoyalMint
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ItsMeMasih:
As with any ROM ymmv... so I'm going to tweak the settings a bit more. So far, the only thing that bugs me is that the pattern lock screen sometimes doesn't show up after the display times out, or if I hit the power button to turn off the display. I've checked the settings menu and made sure that the lock screen activates "immediately" after the display is turned off. Not a deal breaker, but I'd rather not have it this way.

Also, during some screen off/screen on testing, the display froze on me midway through it's power on animation.

Other than that, it's pretty sweet! Keep up the good work and I look forward to 1.3!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
So are we supposed to match profiles? Which one controls the other?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
no, just make sure the one within cyanogen settings isn't 'set on boot' ... just use setCPU however you normally would (i just use smartass gov and default clock speeds 1.1ghz max 245hz min) and you can check 'set on boot' for setcpu .. make sure you autodetect the default speeds FIRST after flashing a new ROM/kernel (it should come up on the splash screen upon initial run of setcpu after installing a new ROM on a full wipe...but if not, just hit the 'menu' button on the main screen of setCPU and press 'device selection' then 'autodetect speeds' .. after that you're good to go!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
Noob question. In root explorer, my /data states 191 MB used. In manage apps settings, the internal storage says 249 MB used. Why the disparity?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RavenWulf:
after doing a complete wipe (including SD card) and installing ROM and faux's kernel everything ran fine until I re-installed SetCPU 2.1.0, unless I matched the settings between CM CPU Tuning and SetCPU I am getting massive lag and random reboots even at "low" speeds ei. 1017 or 1113 max with 245 or 368 min.

is there any way to over ride the CM tuning so I can go back to SetCPU?

from what RoyalKnight posted several pages back it is Sense 2.3
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes!

........
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
check out my post two above yours ... as long as 'set on boot' isn't set within your cyan. settings and you've autodetected speeds on setCPU - you should be good ...

one thing that may help ... download faux's 2.0.4 kernel, turn OFF set on boot in setCPU (should already be off in cyan. settings), boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, fix permissions ... now flash the kernel ... now boot system .... DON'T PRESS ANYTHING and let it boot completely up (wait like 5 mins at least) ... then reboot ... let it boot completely up again (3-5 mins) ... NOW autodetect speeds within setCPU ... then set your clock speeds min/max where you want it, check 'set on boot' and go...

if you still have issues ... flash faux's 2.0.4 SV instead of LV and see if that helps
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 808prettyboy808:
Thanks for all your help Ckisgen!!!! I'll be flashing this soon...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
sure thing, that's what we're all here for :D

(don't forget your thanks button, folks!) :cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
phanio00 - not a noob question .. i believe this was brought up a page or two back by someone else .. royalknight is looking into this...my guess is it will be patched on 1.3, which him and the rest of the dev team is working on now ... hopefully i'll be testing it soon :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RavenWulf:
thanks man, where is Bill Engvall... I need a big ass "STUPID" sign... I went back double checked everything and my CM Settings had "set on boot" checked. I had SetCPU setup as 1113 max 245 min with smartass and set on boot checked, CM was setup as default 1017 max 245 min with ondemand and set on boot checked.

now to go back and fix my other post, I didn't check the CM setting before installing and setting up my SetCPU.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ItsMeMasih - you may wanna try flashing faux's 2.0.4 SV (standard voltage) kernel and see if that helps any of these issues for you .. follow my instructions above to ravenwulf (a couple posts up) on the proper procedure for flashing one of faux's kernels
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
It was actually me who brought it up earlier. I tested an hypothesis earlier today and it was proven false. I did another full wipe and installed, but still the disparity. I must admit I am a bit amazed no one else noticed.

Anyway, back to more hypotheses.

0;-))
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kryptik06:
Just a suggestion, you guys should add spare parts
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
Thats one of the first thi.gs I install on all my roms if they dont alrrady have it

Here are some pics of royal Ginger 2.1 running dark ginger
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
Ah damn no I didn't :/ should have tried that. I just wiped everything and re flashed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Also, what launcher are you using. I just downloaded and installed it with no issues. I'm using launcher pro plus which it seems to be geared for
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
I'm not using any.. Just using RG how it comes.. Could that be my issue?

I was used to cm7 which had adw so I never thought of it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i just answered this like 5 - 6 posts ago :P

i said:

"any theme that says its compatible with the latest nightly builds should be work without an issue. "

i just went to the minimal magic page on the market and it mentioned nothing about it's compatibility with the latest CM nightly builds. just to make sure, i also followed his link to his thread with FAQ, etc. - still no mention of compatibility.

this ROM now pretty much stays current with the latest and greatest the CM project has to offer. i don't blindly take in every commit/change/patch ... however, i do typically merge the framework changes because many of the future code will be built on the basis/presumption that you've already got the previous changes and so on.

there are theme developers who update their themes regularly to try and keep up with the CM train but i honestly have not had time to keep up with that lately.

what i've been doing recently for easy of use, simplicity, and stability is - when i'm in the mood to theme it up a notch .. i unfreeze Go Launcher via titanium, switch over to that and apply one of their many cool themes. this is primarily icons, and homescreen UI type stuff .. not the hardcore framework theming but it's quick, effortless, and free. Go has TONS of free themes that looks great.

here's a screen of the one i'm currently using.

as a little more time goes by .. the themes should catch up. we've also just very recently crossed an android base OS version threshold as well (with 2.3.4) .. and this cutting edge wonderment is the reason we have google talk w/ video, netflix, great battery performance, etc. but sometimes you gotta take the good with the not as good.

in the mean time ONLY use themes that specifically say they are compatible with CM7 NB# 74 + ... otherwise, it's a crap shoot at this point.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
FYI - launcher pro has been well known to give this ROM fits in one way or another.

i know of a couple people who had less than stellar battery life until they canned LPP and then they started seeing what all the fuss was about.

so for anyone who's interested .. if you're a die hard LPP fan - go for it and if it works well on YOUR device - awesome. but i personally have seen a lot of seemingly 'unexplained' quirks/issues magically go away when they switched back to stock or another launcher.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
Nice theme. Matches the boot animation quite well.

Personally, I stick with the default theme, but change the system font to Droid Sans (pulled from the MattedBlues theme) using Font Chooser... free in the market. Adds a nice touch of class...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ok guys .. here's how you enable the '1' key to directly call your voicemail with long press / hold ... (lantern, i feel a FAQ addition here ..)

go into phone app

press menu button > preferences

enable 'Use 1 for regular voicemail' checkbox

then exit to homescreen

press menu button from homescreen > settings > call settings > voicemail settings

click on 'voicemail number' and enter your phone # (with area code) then press 'ok'

now open the phone app back up ... you will see the voicemail icon on the '1' key now .. press and hold it and shazam

regarding contacts .. as long as i exit out of the contacts/phone app with the HOME button and not the back button .. next time i come back in and go to contacts, it brings me back to where i left off last time
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Are you trying to say that dev CK's theme has no class? How dare you!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] MisfitsTimmy:
Flash 10.3 issue or RG issue with flash videos

Has anyone had issues with flash video using Flash 10.3? I can't tell whether it is RG or Flash 10.3, but when playing flash videos the browser will freeze and you have to manually FC in order to get it working again.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] sipher26:

thanks in adavanced
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
As soon as you set up mail to sync (under Settings>Accounts&Sync>Google) you should receive updates whenever you receive a new email.

Also make sure that Background Data and Auto-Sync are checked as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gixer2000:
I flashed it as soon as I got home from work.lol. love 2.1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] MisfitsTimmy:
Me too! I'm using Mixer as well. It's purty!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
i actually like go sms better than Stock message app anyways
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
Same here. Didn't think I would, but it really is all around better.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
Where do you get the fonts from to put in the font changer folder?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brentsalinas714:
Where us the Netflix app? The one I had backed up doesn't work ...device not supported
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
Should be in your app drawer if you're on 2.1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
bah, been busy getting my kubuntu box running. WIN! After I get a mouse I can use this alongside my wind0w$ box! Soon as I have this set to dev, I'll be unstoppable force for awesomeness! or atleast doing pretty well.

Day Shift has proven VERY hard to keep up with the site. I get minor stuff done almost every day, but with the hours I've been working lately... nothing tonight, nothing last night. Oh well.

I'll make a note to add to the FAQ CK, no problem. Night Shift up on Tuesday, then I should have a few good nights of work able to be put in, If i'm not busy with my new...

nm...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brentsalinas714:
Sorry bro Netflix doesn't work
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Works on mine, did you full wipe coming to 2.1?did you restore a back of Netflix from somewhere? Did a baboon eat your menu button? Details!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
Works fine on mine too was just watching the other guys hehe
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaleroca:
Genius!! No Really thanks. I have to learn the ins and out of this ROM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] brentsalinas714:
Ok so I did wipe and yes it is 2.1 so where is Netflix, nit even in app in my phone
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joeyrey:
netflix was already in my app drawer when i did the fresh install. But i even searched the market and updated it, and it still works. Try looking on the market
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aphex23:
Might switch

So I know this is the age old question for every ROM so I do apologize for it but I need a quick testimonial on this rom, top reasons to switch from CM7?? Currently doing the nightly route, which I must admit is annoying.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Coppo:
For me it was quicker,and sexy. You should defiantly enjoy it. The tether didn't work on the 2.0 so I switched back to CM7 for the time being but I see 2.1 is here so will give it a shot tonight.

One question I did have was the stock MT4G call recorder would work even if the phone was placed in sleep. I would like to use this feature again but I can not find the stock recorder .apk
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
I have lost the use of my home key. I did a fastboot wipe. All other keys work, just not the home one. Any ideas waht might of happened?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ya, you didn't follow the flash instructions and reboot :D

(my bad if you have but the only people that mentioned this didn't reboot and as soon as they did it was gone. if reboot doesn't bring it back, fix permissions in recovery)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ZuluNexus:
Anyone have screen flickering on the twitter app check this out for me please
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zmodp:
Just get Google Voice.

Their voicemail is far superior to the carriers. Plus both of your #s will go to it.

Ways to check your GV voicemail:

1. Read it (transcribed) on your phone

2. Play it like an mp3 file on your phone

3. Call in and listen to it

4. Read it on a computer (google.com/voice)

5. Play it through your computer speakers

There really is no substantial reason for anyone to actually use their carriers VM service that i can think of.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrompible:
I'm having some problems with this gingerbread version of wifi calling. It refuses to stay connected overnight for some reason. I require it for work as I'm on call a lot so is there anyway for me to go back to the froyo based one?

Also, 24 hours on battery, 51% left!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] LOONEyRR:
If anyone wants to try an amazing launcher with this rom. I recommend getting spb launcher. Its gotta be the best looking and the smoothest launcher I've used with this rom. I've been using it since 1.6 and I love it. So if u guys wanna try the perfect launcher with this rom.try that. Make sure u find 1.0.3 and if u want help getting it to work. Pm me. I respect the work of every dev. And am not tellin people to get peoples apps for free. But 14 bucks is insane. Just sayin. If u happen to find it on applanet then do as u plz. :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaleroca:
I already have it. I just need to put it to more use:)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
I pulled my from the zip file of the theme I was using with RG1.6, but any TrueType font (.ttf) will work. Just be sure you name that folder ".fontchanger" the dot is important. Check the Themes and Apps section, there is a thread over there with like 300 fonts. I'd link you but I am mobile. Also try Google.

Alternatively, you could also use Custom Android Font Swircher, free in the market, that includes over 100 fonts, with previews!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saotua:
wow... that's amazing!.. did you change the setting a lot? Mine w/ moderate use can last around 6-8 hrs
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AJ26T:
Anyway to get htc sense

3.0 lockscreen in here and maybe facebook for sense so I can sync my contact pics not sure if its possible
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
uhhh...you need to really check your settings or do a little research on general do's and dont's for getting the most outta your battery.

and or recalibrate battery

and or figure out which rogue app is killing your batt life

and or reflash the ROM

you don't have to look very hard in this thread to see that myself and most people using this ROM average 14-24+ hours on a single charge even with heavy use.

teamroyal.net has a FAQ with some ideas here I believe but 6 - 8 hours w moderate use is retarded bad / unheard of with this ROM ... stock? maybe. Ginger .. no bueno
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saotua:
I tried the method @teamroyal.net but still. Maybe I should reflash.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I'll PM you when Im on my computer later
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AJ26T:
Question, I usw handcent sms so I uncheck notifications in stock sms I have a alert set through handcent but every time I get a sms it plays default alert anyone have any idea
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ilaf0106:
Which faux kernel works for this rom?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
The bundled one works best, but I think faux has a 2.3.4 aosp kernel which should work too
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saotua:
Thanks ckisgen
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
No and No, to do that we would need to completely rebuild the framework and even the best of Devs havent been able to do that. if you want Sense go to a sense rom if you want smooth and fast vanilla then stay with RoyalGinger.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ditchmagnet:
sooo, do we really HAVE to wipe to move to 2.1 from 2.0? I don't feel like having to set everything up again...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
No, but it's a good idea. At the very least wipe the cache and Davlik.

Also... Titanium Backup is your friend.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ditchmagnet:
ya, everyone tell me that, lol. is there a good free alternative? would this do the same thing?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot&feature=search_result

or this free version of titanium backup?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&feature=search_result
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
I use the free version of Titanium. The only real drawback, aside from not being able to freeze apps, is you have to click "install" for each app during the batch restore. Paid version eliminates that. Otherwise, it works brilliantly.

Though I do use it so much, I intend to purchase the full version soon.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ditchmagnet:
Ok, cool. I am running a batch backup right now. I chose to backup all user and system apps. Should I just restore the user apps though when I flash to a new ROM?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] boardopboy:
I only restore the User Apps + Data. System apps and their data I leave alone.

Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unk2009:
Good afternoon,wasn't sure how or where to pm you, but I am interested in the SPB Shell 3D/Launcher...I dl it, but after doing so there is nothing in my app drawer or when I long press on my home screen, thanks in advance for your help....
