I don't know if it's the ROM radio or what but I'm getting amazing speeds with this rom on speedtest. I've ran several tests and I've gotten over 5 mbs/s down since switching from Iced Glacier to this ROM. Anyone else getting amazing speed improvements? Thanks so much TeamRoyal for making my phone 1000x better than stock. :)

CK this rom may be too fast for cross country trips. It eats my 2 batteries like Doritos lol. Everythings shut down sync, screen to the lowest setting etc. I even turned it to Edge only and its still fastttt performance .. you are a beast haha

You'll give me some serious setup tips for battery life. Downclockin etc. For these conference days when i need pure standby time. Phone on silent but on so i can c the missed calls. Thx again for everything

For some reason I can't get my T-Mobile contacts to sync. The app in market wont work with this rom. I have around 300 I need to import.... minor glitch but help appreciated
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
why dont you have you contacts sync'd with gmail??? then it doesnt matter what rom or anything and the sync:confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
I thought I did... apparently I didn't. Do I need to restore sync and reflash?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
that is the best and easiest way, unless you can log on to tmobile .com and click remove from phone and send to phone in the contact management section of your account... either should work, but i recommend having google sync as it is easiest and tmobile sync with google sync will give you duplicate contacts
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Do all themes work with this ROM or do we have to choose certain ones?

I will happy to share the battery MOD made by generous pendo for Royal Ginger 1.6 as below:

Battery MOD Smooth with Blue progress bar

Battery MOD Smooth with Green progress bar

Besides, 1 very good experience for playing Gameloft HD games: never ever change your screen dpi to different from default value 240. Your game can load the video, but can never be played. I had a damn crazy time until found out this.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
can you post screenshots of each mod please?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] LOONEyRR:
Thanks got the mods.but wheres the green one? I flashed both of em and they're both blue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Please refer to the OP. Any CM7 theme for theme engine should work, all of the ones in the OP work, at least mostly. Any issues with those are issues with the theme, not the rom, but all should work.

I did a nandroid backup and I tried to restore and I keep getting an MD5 mixmatch error.

Does anyone know anything about this?? :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gutted:
I freaking love fhis rom. My apps load faster and fhe battery life is AMAZING! I stayed up late sunday night researching how to root then flashed this rom which made me late for work yesterday but it was well worth it.

Yesterday after about 3-4 hours of playing music and checking FB every now and then I had 50% battery life 14hrs after unplugging my phone from the charger. With the stock rom I'd usually get 8-9hrs max with the same amount of use.

I tried a few roms before on my old Vibrant but I've never been this impressed. Keep up the great work!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
??

that's really strange

if i were you, i'd backup your apps n such with titanium (sms backup + , free from market is great for backing up/restoring SMS, missed calls, etc) and full wipe, reflash the ROM ... since you're getting MD5 mismatch, I'd redownload 1.6 and flash that (delete your old one if you still have it) if i were you
[myTouch 4G Android Development] g33kChic:
Yes very strange indeed. Thanks for your response.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daprince047:
Thanks for the mods now has there a way to go back
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
Set CPU widget doesn't refresh for me on this rom. I like to watch battery temp... any options?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
are you giving it a time interval for refresh when setting it up?

mine refreshes .. granted much faster when i set the 'active refresh interval' to 10 seconds or 30 seconds, etc. vs leaving it on 'passive'
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i'm *guessing* that if you switch back to 'system' or another theme within the t mobile theme manager/chooser - it should revert back

but if these mods are flashed - it might not ... in which case you'd have to nandroid back or reflash the ROM :/

(always nandroid before flashing a theme/mod/etc. for the undo factor .. that's the main issue with themes/mods that have to be flashed)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nlarge:
I've tried all.... I have to delete then re add to see any changes.... weird glitch
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daprince047:
Thanks for the tip i had to reflash bummer lol oh well love the rom anyway

possible bug?: I use Swipe as my keyboard. When i double tap a incorrect word, normally (when using RoyalGlacier 1.2) it would bring up a word suggestion list. In royal Ginger, i get the cut,copy,input method screen. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to correct this issue?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i can't quite remember if the swype v1.x that is included in this ROM has the ability with gingerbread to pull up suggestion lists (i've already upgraded to the newest swype 2.x beta) .. but i know the newest swype beta does (you have to put the cursor anywhere in the middle, directly before or after the word and then press the swype button and it will pull up a suggestion list)

to install the new swype beta:

using root explorer:

you can either a) delete the 3 files below b) rename them (just add .bak to the end of them, this way it remains on your system and you can revert back to it at any time by taking the .bak off) or c) move the 3 files to another location (like your SD card)

3 files that need to be deleted/renamed/moved BEFORE you can install the new swype beta:

system/app/Swype.apk (press 'Mount R/W' button in top right first)

data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod

system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

-- once this is done, you must REBOOT .. then go to swype.com and sign up for the beta program and they will give you or email you the download link for the installer
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camapghe:
Been using these great tips since MT3G :D

By the way, I think there is a possible bug of market where I turned off the notification, but it always turned on after you reboot the ROM. I have go to Running Services to turn it off every time reboot.

Besides, as a habit since MT3G, I do love the idea to save more space from system files like MTD Partition MOD of Firerat. I used Root Explorer and found that the latest Royal Ginger 1.6 is around 140mb, and another 330mb free in system. Although we have big space around 1GB for internal storage, but it would be nice to not wasting the other 300MB. Is there any solution for this?

Im having a couple problems.. My GPS NEVER LOCKS IN NEVER.. Keeps giving me error in Location not avaliable.. And also im using smart keyboard pro and some of my keys dont work if i keep typing but if i close the keyboard and start typing again the key's work..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mygti02:
well i did what you said and i have the same issue....actually with the latest beta its worse. When i press the swype button when i have the cursor anywhere on the word in question, it doesnt bring up the word suggestion box. The version that was included with the rom did. Both however, do not bring up the word suggestion box when i double press the word.....this sux.

Thanks for the help.....if there are any other ideas i am all ears :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yes this is a swype and gingerbread issue .. however my beta brings up the suggestion box no prob when I have the cursor in a word and I press the swype button .. do you have the suggest word option enabled in swype settings?

I don't know. my GPS locks and fast. see the FAQ in OP for addtl instructions

not sure about the keys. I am still continuing to tweak and try and perfect the stock launcher so I'll try and look into this further in my testing / revision process for the next update

My GPS locks fine. When i do have issues i use GPSfix to fix. I've been using SmartKeyboard pro since 1.5 and now on 1.6. No issues whatsoever with the keys. Delete application and try to reinstall and see if it fixes the issue.

Q: if I do a fresh install of Royal Ginger and remove the SD card and put in a blank 1(so I can sell my phone) will it have any effects on the Rom? Does the rom use specific files on the SD card or? Help is appreciated
[myTouch 4G Android Development] theinitial21:
No, you'll be fine, it installs the rom on the internal memory just in case if anything did happen to the SD card. you'll be just fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] altroy2:
CK thx for the tips. I just flew back home from that crazy cold east! Im thawing in the wild west :).

I did 90 % of those tweaks on my trip but it was still leakin bad. I made it home with 2% with 2 batteries in 32 hours. This is the perfect time to run it to that 1% and charge fully over night. Will reflash the rom again in the AM. I wonder if The fact that my sd card died and i switched to the stock 2gb for now could have something to do w it, cause thats when my bat life dropped and kept on dropping hmm
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mathato:

How did you root the phone? If you used gfree then there is a file on your card they will want as a backup
[myTouch 4G Android Development] knothead:
Whats that file called?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
part7backup-xxxx.bin
[myTouch 4G Android Development] knothead:
Thanks on that.

I'm brand new to the Glaicer coming from a HD2 Running HyperDroid CM7. Had to learn (crash course adb mostly) the sdk to root this. It was really easier than I thought it would be.

Question

I'm not sure, (I thinking not) if the home screen can rotate? I'm seeing launcher settings to do so. I do have auto rotate set, I think this was an adw setting in the HyperDroid and cm roms I ran on the g1 before the HD2. I searched and an surmising that I'll need a aftermarket launcher to do so. I see there were some issues with launcherpro, I'm a adw fan from the other phones and see no history of problems with it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I use launcher pro religiously. I love it and it has that option.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] knothead:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I'm adw EX myself (when i'm not using stock) .. but I downloaded launcher7 last night for tits n' giggles and it's actually kind of a cool break from the norm.. (it rotates)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] kiko130:
Ok great thanks for the advice!

I wasn't aware that on/off animations are not good. Her phone does have off animation enabled so that will be changed

Like i said, i'm not the one using the phone everyday, so it's hard to properly troubleshoot, unlike my HD2 :D

I also read another reply that some devices need 'dumbfuq's kernel' whene there are issues of freezing & black screen on incoming calls.

I will try that too, BUT is there any more specific way to determine if we have such a device?

I put SetCPU & i'm guessing i should take that out too ?

thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
i understand you're more comfortable with your HD2 .. but don't the charges add up having to rent a forklift every month to bring that bertha up to your ear when your phone rings? :D

no specific way to determine whether the device is gonna be overstressed using a super modded/tweaked kernel until you use one .. setCPU CAN cause issues with a small # of devices as well ..

i would first: keep the screen on/off animations off and see if it doesn't improve

if it continues - then: keep animations off and also uninstall setCPU

if it still continues - flash dumbfuqs kernel .. that should pretty much eliminate it .. and you may can even try adding back in setCPU and/or screen animations if it can handle it

.. but IMO the screen animations aren't worth the trouble (plus it chews some battery)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mygti02:
Yes i have it enabled. I went back to the beta version that came with this version....now that one isnt giving me a suggestion box now.....oh well, i will use the android keyboard till a fix comes out i guess....regardless though, this rom is super fast :)

Has anyone used the SPB Shell 3D launcher with this rom yet? Debating if its worth dropping $15 for a launcher :confused:

Hi all,

I am wondering what would it take to reinstall CM6.1.0 on my device again?

I have been learning and testing quite a bit on my device, now I am seeing that maybe I need start fresh again.

Device specs listed below.

What steps do I need to take? Do I need to start off with a clean/reformatted sdcard? Would I need to update anything else (radio,SPL)?

This will be my first time doing this myself.

Thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenc19:
you already have cm 6.1.0 so why not boot into recovery and wipe everything??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Thanks,

Didn't realize that (noob here, sorry).

I have two files sitting in my sdcard: "recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img" & "recovery.img"

These files were left in the sdcard when I got my phone back from the store that did the root/unlock.

Will I be using one of these files for recovery? If so, which one?

What steps do I take once I am in the recovery mode? I see "Wipe", is that all I do?

Thanks

Post this in Q&A instead of general.

Also provide more information.

1. What specifically did you do..step by step

2. What is the phone doing to make you think it is bricked?

3. What have you tried to do to resolve the issue?

4. Have you searched the forum and found the thread on "How to fix a bricked Epic?"

Whenever you get the Phone/Computer logo, pull the battery, then hold 1 and power on. It should go back to download mode. It has happened to me lots of times due to Odin failing to flash (I usually have to rotate pit's before Odin finally flashes for me).

[Epic 4G General] kingjuice:

thank you both very much!!!!
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
Zomg its not bricked........

Bricked = doesnt turn on to anything!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bricked != download mode
[Epic 4G General] kingjuice:
it was stuck on one spot and only went to download mode... that is being bricked right?
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
No. Being bricked is when it wont even enter download mode, and there is no way get it back. If it will get into download mode, you can Odin it back to stock, and so it is NOT bricked. It is VERY hard to really brick this phone.
[Epic 4G General] JurKZ:
The term bricked gets thrown around a lot, but when something is bricked it means you can't use it for anything other than a brick. Unless you royally mess something up you should always be able to hold down the number 1 and power to get to download mode.

Now if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone for what ever reason that is another story. That is usually just an issue with you not having your drivers properly installed.
[Epic 4G General] HeXeD:
Officially bricked means "up the creek without a paddle" or in other words, you made a 250-600$ mistake. It is when you get absolutely no reaction from the phone or that no one has ever been able to bring the phone out of that specific state back into working order.

If you get the phone working using the tutorial "How to fix my bricked Epic" then it really wasn't "bricked" in the first place. Glad to hear you got it back.
