At the end of the day 14 hrs with heavy use I'm down to 20%. That is with twitter and facebook updating manually, weather bug elite in the background, checking xda every 2 hours or so, playing some pinball deluxe, youtube videos in hd using 4g network, a little bit of internet browsing, email and a lot of texting.

Wow just typing that shows that I need to really do more work at my job lol. That's how awesome this ROM is. I just can't put it down.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
Is UTMS the same as 4G? :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
Got an error out of nowhere damaged sd card. Tried formating in recovery. Rebooted same error.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
UMTS is 3G :D

Tmobile 4G is HSPA hence the "H" symbol on the phone (aka HSPA aka 3.75G rounded up :D)

On this ROM you should see "H" for 4G... If you see 3G, then you are on 3G :D

Man, I can't help myself today... I am stressed out @ work, need some relief....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
all you should have had to do is reboot. people have been talking about this since CM alpha.

or go into settings / SD card and unmount remount.

reflash the ROM .. you nandroided before flashing right? go back to nandroid. I bet it recognizes the card
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Lakeshow423:
I got that before. backup the stuff you want on a PC. reformat your sdcard and copy back the stuff you want. Flash the rom again.

1. plug your phone USB to a PC.

2. Go to recovery

3. go to mount and storages

4. mount storage

5. Copy files that you want

6. reformat sdcard

7. copy back files that you copied..

8. follow instructions in the OP to flash ginger.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
Nah i tried that and no luck. None of the pcs wont even format it. R.I.P. 8 gb friend :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dragone5:
I haven't seen the 4G icon on mine. I do get the H all the time. I'm using the rover theme, will that have anything to so w it?

Edit: I do get it w the stock theme :D Guess that answers my question.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BIZZYhd2:
y is it every time i try to flash it tells me installation aborted...i downloaded a few different times and i get the same msg..???..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] laztpn0i:
Is there any way the pre installed fancy widget can be uninstalled? I have fancy widget pro that I would like to use. Also I see the default stock theme has the 4g icon, and was wondering if that can be incorporated into the CyanbreadX theme.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Haze69:
Hey is there a reason it keeps switching from 3g to 4g and vice versa constantly in the same spot, in a very good 4g coverage area?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
H is the same as 4g, glad you found your answer
[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
latest update of qik works, but image is inverted. I know I took that crap off though... hmmm are you saying that my hardware could be botched? if so I can possibly get a warranty exchange :\

ask ck stated it could be a rogue app leaking memory, I am thinking thats what it is...

I didn't have this sort of problem in sense roms though... weird

btw I believe the camera fc is fixed. Haven't fced for 3 x usage.

all I did was go to recovery delete dalvik cache, and fix permissions from within recovery, rebooted and the camera prob seems to be gone. I took off qik, I am not getting any RED errors in log cat, but I believe the memory issues could still be there. aww man hopefully I didn't botch up my hardware or something by using gfree, and then being a dumb ass by flashing the wrong rom on an incompatible recovery when I was a noob :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
4g will kick on when needed to help save on battery life I heard.that's why it switches back and forth
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
1. Use titanium to uninstall it.

2. Talk to the maker of cyanbreadx

3. You people asking about the 4g icons and stuff really really REALLY need to do some reading and research. PLEASE. These questions have been asked and answered so many times its not even funny.

If you aren't willing to do the research and want to walk blindly into rooting without any idea what you are doing.... you have no business rooting your phone.

I'm not trying to be a total ass.... but 99% of the errors people are finding are user errors or questions you can answer yourself by just searching and learning about what you are doing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmdmilitia13:
Couldnt find the answer anywhere but is it ok to format system,wipe data,cache & delvik or formattin system isnt necessary?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Haze69:
Oh okay makes sense, thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Lakeshow423:
I always format system when flashing a new rom...it dosent hurt.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
If you are doing a full wipe yes.

If not just so cache and dalvik.

Full is ALWAYS recommended.

Another happy RoyalGinger user!

I have been lurking the forums since I got myTouch 4g learning all about Android. Rooting/flashing is not something I was considering, especially when there's no apparent issue to complain. After reading all the positive reviews for RoyalGinger, I decided to take the plunge and I have to say it was very easy!

I'm really impressed by the performance and the battery life. I had it for entire day and my battery life has noticeably improved. I understand this is a team effort, and I just wanted to say many thanks for the awesome ROM to ckisgen and team.

PS. I keep reading about battery conditioning, in recovery I saw something about clearing battery something. Can anyone shed some light on what this is for and how do I condition my battery for this ROM. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
No problem glad I could help
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
2 things.

1. Welcome, lurking the boards is one of the best ways to learn. You are my favorite new person!

2. Battery conditioning isn't something you really need to worry about if you aren't having problems with battery life. There are several divergant methods I've read though. Basically

First make sure your on clockwork recovery 3.0.2.4. Then charge your phone with it turned on over night. Then unplug it, turn it off, plug it back in and leave it for an hour. Unplug the phone and wait 30 seconds or so, make sure the led light is off. Plug it back in until the led turns green.

Boot into recovery, and wipe battery stats. Reboot the phone.

Run the phone down to 1% but DO NOT run it dead. Turn it off and charge it overnight (or 8 hrs or so) good to go.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] mightyab:
Yeah what I do is when I flash a new ROM I make sure I start off with a fresh full battery. Reboot my phone wipe/clear data (i do that twice just for precautionary reasons) go into advance than clear dalvick cache than go to write battery stats. After ask that if done flash the ROM you want and let the battery fully drain 100% than I charge my phone all the way for a couple of hours with the phone off. That way is how I condition my battery. Might be different for others.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dragone5:
I use this app to calibrate my battery. That way u don't have to go into recovery

BatteryCalibration: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmdmilitia13:
Thanks to both,just wanted to make sure....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dacquesta1:
Had that issue with my 8gb card before I got my 16gb. Here is what worked for me...

1.) Partition card in recovery

2.) Make it 1024 and 128/256 for. the swap

3.) Should be good to go
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
Ok Ill try that in 2 days once i return from my east coast trip. Other option warranty replacement?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camapghe:
When I used Root Explorer to delete the boot sound, I noticed that system file actually have more than 300mb free space. What a waste !!!

Is there any MTD MOD like Firerat did for MT3G?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
Thanks. I don't understand why my phone stays on 3G when I'm in a 4G area very confusing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
Everything works fine for me as per usual. Only bug I have found is the stock sound selector freaks out after install. This only happened once. I noticed I was hearing alerts I checked ring volume and it.was all the way up. So I went to change the tone and for some reason there was three selection of both the ring and notification sounds I had choosen none which produce sound. If can remind me how to export my lolcat I will be more than happy to upload it.

Again outside of that super fast and stable rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
As stated previously, multiple times, you should only see hspa+ speeds when needing them. Normally it stays on 3g

Sent from my Royal Ginger Deluxe!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
you can export a logcat two (2) ways, either via adb or alogcat. you can search for the command via adb, and alogcat has an option to save the file to your sdcard.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
There we go. I went into the ringtones and notifications so hopefully something in there will help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kiko130:
Ok I barely post unless it's a serious issue or I can't find any info/mention of it in the previous pages

now this isnt on my phone, but someone who isn't into flashing, etc - i've been the one flashing it

the two main issues are that the phone randomly restarts/turns off & on an incoming call it often goes to a black screen & basically freezes, requiring battery pull

had these issues w/ v1.3, i wiped everything flashed v1.4, same issues. Running ADW Launcher & did use titanium back up to restore some basic apps

any suggestions? I'm hesitating trying v1.6 because of this
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kermitthefrayer:
I haven't had anything like this happen to me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkpaniel:
Could someone help me with the turning the boot sound off?

I tried using the terminal emulator script to turn the sound off, but it won't turn off. I've turned the boot sound off before with 1.5, but with 1.6, doesn't seem to be working for me.

After inputting "bootsoundoff".. I get "mv: can't rename '/system/media/android_audio.mp3': No such file or directory"

Can someone translate that for me in english?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Using root explorer go to /system/media and either delete the android_audio.mp3 or rename it android_audio.mp3.bak

[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkpaniel:
Thanks for the quick reply... except I have no idea what root explorer is. Is that an app?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hlee3374:
Yes, it's in the marketplace.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Lakeshow423:
Yes..go get it in the market...its worth it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
In the hundreds of apps I've tried, its one of 3 I believe I'd die without... if that ain't a recommendation I don't know what is.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
First - turn off screen on and off animations in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings (royalginger settings in v1.6) > Display

If that doesn't help - then flash dumbfuq's kernel from HERE

That should do it ... and I'd def recommend upgrading to v1.6 (and still following steps above if any of those issues continue)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BCD90:
Radio Signal Indicator.

First i want to say this is an amazing rom. I am relatively new to this but i have tried over 8 different roms and this one takes the cake. Very fast and very smooth and i love being able to overclock to 1.8ghz. I just wanted to bring to the devs attention that as you can see in the picture i am clearly running hspa speeds but it is reading 3g in the top right hand corner. The weird thing is that even when i go to mobile network type when i know i am in a HSPA zone it reads UMTS. This screen shot was taken on V1.6. This problem would never turn me away from this rom i would recommend to anyone. I just wanted to let you guys know.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
there's a couple of other errors i need to do a little more digging into .. but basically some themes in theme manager has somehow borked up your ringtone manager ..

the offending themes are Honeycream, Purplebread (never heard of it?), and Greybread

which theme are you on now? did you install/apply those properly? did you uninstall any of those?

here's my stab in the dark without answers to those questions yet ...

you installed those themes - they changed your default sounds to their own sounds (as some themes do...i wish they wouldn't) .. then you uninstalled them and so the ringtone manager thinks it's still set to themes that don't exist on your system anymore?

perhaps it's something else ...

ALSO, change your theme to System and REBOOT .. then go into ringtone manager and see if you can't change them to one of the system UI / normal tones ..

another thing to try is go into Titanium and under backup/restore ... scroll down to Theme Chooser, click on it, and wipe data .. then reboot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i haven't been able to replicate this yet .. but i'm starting to think i may know what's going on .. there's another person in here that can't get their icon off of 3G either ...

in your screenshot - i see a temperature icon in the top left of your status bar .. what app is doing that? also, what theme are you on? (it looks like system .. but with the blue temperature icon, i can't tell for sure)

i'm guessing whatever app you have that's altering the status bar (aka displaying the temperature) is messing with the systemUI's icon set and causing it to bypass my 4g icons i put in there

Download it from market

Sent from my Royal Ginger Deluxe!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkpaniel:
Alright, bought it from the market... and tried your method, but failed. It won't let me delete or rename "because the file system is read-only."

What now?

Also, now that I bought this relatively pricey app (3.99 is about $3 more than I've ever spent on an app).. what else can I do with it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
you have to press the 'mount R/W' button in the top right before you can make changes like that ..

and you can do all sorts of stuff with it regarding copying/pasting/moving/editing files to and from your SD card, system, etc. .. it's got a built in text editor and also will extract zip files for you and many other useful things

i agree with lantern - this is in my top 3 apps hands down
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BCD90:
The program i was using was called weatherbug elite . I disabled the temp display then uninstalled the program. It flased the H for a second then went away. I went ahead and rebooted the phone then ran another speed test and am getting 4+ Mbps consistently and is still reading 3g. Also i believe at the time i was running the darkginger theme.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shehrammajid:
There should be an option somewhere in menu or settings to switch system to r/w (read/write mode)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shehrammajid:
Lol...that was the first thing I tried...I can't seem to find it in the market....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Ok, ONLY the 'System' theme is controlled by Team Royal, any other themes being used, you have to contact the theme maker. Those aren't files Team Royal controls, they are offered here as a service to the users of the rom.

I posted that then checked the market myself

type in gmail into the market, or else google gmail. it should show titled Gmail and released by Google. I just double checked. it's the second one down for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Lakeshow423:
You outdid yourself again bro! I am loving this rom! Thank You..I mean it..this rom is silky smooth!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
apply the 'System' theme and then reboot .. still only 3g?

the 4g icons only show up in 'System' theme .. when you apply a different them, their theme takes over and any changes i made to the systemUI and/or framework will be overridden by whatever icons/settings they've baked into the theme ...

however i'm on darkginger now and when i set my phone to 3/4g only - it shows an 'H' icon

if you'd like me to look into this further, please try my above steps first and then PM me with the results of that AND a list of all apps you have installed, widgets you currently having running on your homescreens, and if you're using a livewallpaper (if yes, which one)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
Guys - I just updated OP with this but since many of you won't likely go back to that after flashing ... here it is:

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED/READ ME:

1) Turn OFF both Screen On AND Off Animations (Settings > RoyalGinger settings > Display)

2) In Spare Parts - Set Window & Transition animations to 'Fast' or 'OFF' .. this will greatly speed up switching between apps, etc.

3) If you experience ANY sort of freezing, locking up, black screen on phone call, or behavior like these - download and flash Dumbfuq's kernel from HERE (some peoples devices just do not seem to play nice with the custom high performance kernel that we've bundled with this ROM)

4) TURN OFF live wallpapers if you experience any sorts of odd/unexpected behavior

5) If you are using setCPU - try uninstalling that (and rebooting) if you have out of the norm issues .. this app seems to cause some weirdness with a small fraction of users devices

6) DO NOT use the CPU settings in the Performance menu (Settings > RoyalGinger settings > Performance > CPU settings) to change or alter clock speeds/governor/set on boot/etc. !!! (not only will this cause major issues if you have setCPU installed but even if you don't - i've seen many people have issues that were using this that went away after they stopped)

------

*** these are RECOMMENDATIONS people .. these are primarily recommended / intended for people who are experiencing issues with this ROM .. these are some of the main offenders that for whatever reason - have caused some inconveniences with a SMALL fraction of users .. the LARGE majority of people using this ROM have precious few to NO issues whatsoever (most people don't post when everything runs perfect and there are no issues)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Lakeshow423:
I've had no issues with this. My spare parts are set to windowanimations normal, transitions fast and just the off animation on. Hope this helps anyone with issues related to it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
ya, luckily you have a device that can handle all of that (mine doesn't have any issues with the above either)

..naturally everyone should feel free to experiment with their phones and set it up in whatever way they like and as long as it functions normally/as intended - then great!

my main point in posting that is for people WITH issues .. these are some of the steps that I find my repeating over and over to people both on the forum and on PMs .. so i'm hoping to a) get people's problems solved faster and b) cut down on extraneous posts / PMs
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
I'm having issues with the terminal command to turn off the boot sound, it says something about the file being non-existent in "/system/media". What I ended up doing to quiet down my phone during boot-up was create a tiny 1-second long mp3 file with hardly any sound to it and use it as a "new" boot sound. Yes, I did run the command after enabling "su" in terminal.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
hey erick .. glad you're back among the 'living' (devices wise) :D

bro - check out the the posts just a page or two (maybe three?) back .. this has been covered a lot very recently .. there is something wrong with the command scripts for the boot ani/sound .. i'm looking into it now

FOR NOW - you can just rename the boot_audio.mp3 file ... add .bak to the end of it and it'll turn off completely .. or move it to your SD , delete it, whatever

hey man, what's up! Yes, I'm back in the land of the living lol... Went trough two phones before I got a good one. Anyway, back on topic, I'll check it out a few pages back. I had been keeping an eye on things throughout the day, but I guess I must have missed something. I did try renaming or deleting, but the issue was the system didn't allow any changes, maybe a permission issue, who knows. Still, I took care of it by making a dummy mp3 file that didn't have much of any sound to it, since the command to change to a different file does work for some odd reason. By the way, I did flash the engineering hboot this time...:D

[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Hey Ckisgen, quick question.

Have you or anyone else been able to figure out what causes the random data crapouts with AOSP roms?

This happens with both WIFI and regular cell data. Speeds will be perfectly normal for a random period of time, then everything craps out.

If you toggle wifi or data, right back where it should be for anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Then, it will randomly slow down again.

Both my wife and I use RG 1.6. This has been happening with CM and RG forever.

Its not a big deal, but we rely on wifi calling, and the slowdown can be a pain sometimes.

Thanks for any insight. Cheers.

Below is speeds with the slowdown... and after toggling wifi for example.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
nope..altering the radio myself is not an option. there's not really much I can do about it unfortunately
