That's because Shoot Me auto saves in .png format. To upload using the XDA app you have to have it in jpeg format. So, just open Shoot Me. With some part of the app on screen, hit menu and go to settings. From that menu you should be able to select auto save format.

My GPS doesn't work at all with RoyalGinger 2.1. I installed it the other day and haven't been able to get a lock once since. I like the ROM otherwise but this would be a deal breaker. I looked at the FAQ on teamroyal's website and tried the first 2 methods listed below, but neither made any difference. When I open maps, the GPS just blinks indefinitely and can't get a lock. Any ideas?

Recommended

1. Download GPS Status form the market, there is a free and a donate version
2. In GPS Status press the settings button
3. Tools
4. Manage A-GPS state
5. Reset
6. Immediately Reboot the phone. You should be good to go now

Alternate

Download GPS Fix from the market
Click "Start Fixing"
Let it do it's thing
When finished, enjoy!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
The Strong GPS on this ROM is one of it's highest points.

When you installed it was it a totally clean install (a FULL WIPE)?

Did you let your phone settle correctly (after install, Boot, sit 5 min, reboot, sit 5 min, go)

Did you restore any data when putting everything in?

If you did all that, I'd recommend redownloading and re-installing as you probably have a glitched ROM. My GPS is lightning in a bottle and deadly accurate.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jamtown85:
I did do a full wipe (including manually reformatting data/cache/system, wiping cache and system, etc from recovery) but I didn't let everything settle like mentioned. I didn't know that was something that needed to be done I guess. What does that do? Should I let it settle and reboot and let it settle again before I give it my google account info, etc?

I did recover some apps and data from titanium backups, but no system things, just user apps.

Its been a while since I tried using Wireless tether and it doesnt work. Am I doing something wrong now or is there no way to make it work?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gixer2000:
It works on 2.1! I used it for the first time the other day. Did it install the drivers when you turned on tethering and pluged it into your pc?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jamtown85:
He mentioned wireless tethering.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] beezie916:
Wireless tether works fine for me....here is one for you guys....I know we can make custom profiles for the cpu using SetCpu but the widget does not update the values..it is showing my screen off profile even when screen is on....what am I doing wrong here...

Also I have had issues where phone would vibrate for seemingly no reason...anyone else...it is a quick vibrate like an alert or notification but nothing there...

*edit* one thing is if you try tether with the wifi on already it seems that the phone does not turn it off properly to allow for the tether...cause i forgot to turn wifi off first and tether turned on but computer would not connect.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I use that widget all the time. I think it has an issue updating sometimes, or under some circumstances. There will be times I know my phone is doing one thing and the widget says something. Sometimes deleting it and re-adding it works, sometimes it just doesn't pick up what's going on. I honestly stopped using the widget becasue it was more of a novelty due to that fact. I love SetCPU but the widget is iffy IMHO.

Is there any way to get my facebook pic to show up in my messages like the stock rom did. Not really important but just figured I would ask
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zmodp:
I recommend not restoring ANY data from TiBu, only the app.

For some reason, Handcent messes up if you restore app+data.

I had to do a fresh install after full wipe, let sit for 5 min.

Reboot, let sit for 5 min.

log into google accounts, reboot.

then restore app only from TiBu.

everything worked 100% this way, even GPS and group texting.

fully functioning, no problems, even though it took a while to redo all my adw and handcent settings. it was well worth the extra 15 minutes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] beezie916:
I had an issue with handcent not sending mms....would send to me but no one else....stock worked fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled and same problem so I installed an older version and worked so since I uninstalled and redownloaded it from market...i am guessing my problem was current version problem.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Yea every now and then I would have a problem sending a message but if I just send it again it works, I use the forever alone app instead of the stock mms.

I had this happen once when I was using RG 2.0 with the included kernel. Soon after, I switched to faux123's kernel and haven't had the problem since. I'm not sure if the kernel fixed my problem or if it was just a one time fluke, but you might want to give faux123's kernel a try.

I can't believe the people saying they are switching from RG to that new g2 rom port.. I have never used a rom that beats RG and probably won't be using anything but RG as long as I have the Glacier.

I think the people who are switching are the people who like themed roms. I think that if ck made a themed version of this rom everyone would be happy and ck would be powering the majority of rooted Glaciers.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jamtown85:
I know this is probably a newb question, but how do I change just a kernel? Also, how do I change the kernel settings to adjust clock speed, etc. I've heard people mention this but have never seen a how to for these things.

I can build a gentoo system, and have often compiled a linux kernel, but am new to android hacking. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AJ26T:
Wat is the best theme to use with this any suggestions
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Towle:
You flash a kernal the exact same way you flash a rom.

Save the file to the root of your sd card

Reboot into recovery

BACKUP!

Wipe caches

Flash kernal

Reboot and let sit for a few minutes.

FYI you will not get a better performance/battery life combo with another kernal than you do with ck's kernal

Sent from my Royal Ginger powered Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
To change the kernel is relatively simple. It is recommended to stay with ckisgen's kernel, but if you want to change I would highly recommend one of Faux123's CM7 kernels. They are definitely going to be the most stable (next to the precompiled kernel).

But to change just download the kernel (in zip format) to your sd card. Next boot into recovery and wipe the cache, then go to advanced and wipe the Dalvik cache. After that, you go to install zip from sd card, then select the choose zip from sd. Once you find where the kernel is located you can select it and confirm. It will install pretty quickly. Then all you need to do is reboot, let it settle fully (around 5 minutes after boot), then reboot again.

It is recommended to only flash kernels when the battery is at 100%. It is also highly recommended to do a Nandroid before you start any of this (recovery>backup). If you have any other questions, I think there is a pretty good guide to flashing anything extra on the TeamRoyal website. There's a link in my signature.

EDIT: Forget to say that clock speed is controlled through an app called SetCPU (Market ~ $2-$3 | XDA = Free, just search).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jamtown85:
Thanks. I'm not interested in another kernel to get better battery life, but because I read in one of these comments that someone used faux's kernel and it stopped the random "unwakable" bug that happens. It's happened to me 3 of the last 4 or 5 nights: when I wake up, my phone won't. The buttons will light up when I hit the power or trackball button, but the screen won't come on. Thought this might fix it for me too.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] beezie916:
OK I am pretty sure this might be an app issue but maybe someone has a fix....I ham using handcent...send texts fine...apns set up fine....when I send an mms it seems to send...and if I send myself a mms I get it but people are not receiving ones I send...they send fine in stock...and I can receive pics in handcent fine...anyone have an idea whats up??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jamtown85:
I went to the link below and found 4 kernels from faux that seem as if they would work with this rom, but I have no idea what the differences are or which one to pick. Any explanation of these four, and the differences? thanks.

CK or Lantern,

Just wanted to check with u guys if the CKs kernel 1.3 is legit which is posted in the op of the ported rom and if it's ok for us on RG to flash?

Regards
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Ok, I don't know how that person got ahold of 1.3 as it is still in testing. It SHOULD NOT be available to Gen. Pop. To my knowledge. I spoke with ck tonight.

Guys, he's been working like a slave on kernel and rom update. He's got some real life issues going on which will clear up soon. Nothing serious, just busy. For now I'd recommend avoiding that "ck kernel 1.3" because he hasn't even released it yet. It may just be our test kernel but I'm suspicious.

Anyhow, updates for all coming soon.

I want to thank everyone for all your helping each other so much. I've been crazy busy irl as well. I'm settled down a bit. So I'll be around some more. You guys win.

Lantern, ck, everyone else. I have the possibly faulty emmc that may one day throw the cache mount or failed pu errors. I was smart or lucky enough to have found royal Ginger 1.6 at the time to be my first flash. Now I go to help my wife with her stock mt4g, and, wow, just wow, slow as frozen molasses, and that is almost no exaggeration. What you guys have done is make great hardware enjoyable again. You should replace the software functionaries at T-Mobile or HTC, as you have taken a lame mule with potential, and made it into a thoroughbred. Since my emmc may fail at any flash, I don't know if I will upgrade to 2.1, but even 1.6 is highly recommended to new flashers and rooters out there. Thank you all, your nights of hard work are shining on my phone now...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes, I actually gave him an advanced copy last night when he asked to bundle my kernel with his ROM.

feel free to download and flash. it rocks. I will be updating my kernel thread and post a link in this thread today.

it rocks and has basically taken care of the video switching black screen preview intermittent issue.

**in addition I have made some changes that I believe should have scaled back or ideally eliminated the screen not waking issue with this v1.3 update - so anyone with this issue PLEASE flash v1.3 and PM me with results so I can continue tweaking and dialing this temporary bug out for good. THANKS

also other improvements.

as lantern said, been working my ass off on v2.2 but have just had lots of rando build issues here and there plus several pretty major things going on in my real life so its been a bit more slow going. it should be ready shortly though.

my GOAL is by this weekend but as usual guys please don't make me regret giving an approx ETA in case it doesn't happen. but almost all of you are always super cool about this so I don't mind continuing to have some transparency here as long as it can remain that way :D

Tried multiple battery pulls and tried restarting gets stuck on the same screen every time. I really dont like having to reset my stuff every dang time. I have had to wipe everything and reflash the rom both times. Let me know if there might be a simple fix to this.

Thanks.

Usually what I do when performing a nandroid restore, i first wipe everything, and then install the ROM that is used by my nandroid backup (if my nandroid backup is using RG 2.0, then install RG 2.0 first after the wipe)... after the install and letting everything settle (possibly 2 reboots), I then do the nandroid restore.. works like a charm for me..

[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Our goal is a 100% fully win rom. We're at about 99.2% CK has put in could.fleas hours working on this. I personally have never had issue with the stock texter. I can send and receive mms without issue. I have been able to the whole time. Still, some people continue to have issues. Please rest assured that everyone involved is hard at work on that 0.8%. I recently added two testers and am looking at one more possible addition to try to get as wide a spread as possible to catch these weird and difficult to pin down issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] netter123:
Since restoring sms/mms via titanium is not recommended, is there a manual/safer way to restore them? How about things like bookmarks or other app settings?

Use sms backup + too backup and restore texts to your gmail account.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
at this point, its likely not really a "ROM" issue ... at least one I can do anything about. the way tmobiles network interacts with APNs and a particular version of the android base OS version (2.3.x etc) is totally out of my hands.

if you really dig the ROM and you have issues with mms just use golaucher and check back with stock SMS every once in a while. especially after updates. but I'm pretty certain tmobiles network is coming into play here because MMS works for me and all of the testers and a majority of users from what I can tell.

there are SO many variables at play between different phones themselves to the network to the various apps you have installed to the config / settings you use ... I may could tweak this or that and it might work for YOU but then that would break it for this other group of people.

the best I can do in most situations like this is do everything I can on my end to make sure its working for the majority or the most people possible.

I know this answer doesn't really help you much but I just wanted to give some insight into my end of things.

PS .. an ex T-Mobile exec posted some suggested "fix" for anyone with mms issues .. I think it was in the CM nightlies thread a few days back. I'll try and stumble upon it again and will post it if I do .. if anyone else finds it first - do the same. I think he mentioned something about taking the sim out, deleting or resetting something and then sending yourself two messages then power off then click your heels three times. I can't remember but he said it used to work all the time with blackberrys and also other devices
