GingerDX
Now under new management ;)

Intro
Let's continue the fun! :)

This project is a continuation of doixanh's personal ROM, known as GingerDX.
("Ginger" as in "Gingerbread", and "DX" as in short for "doixanh")

Brought to you by TeamFun:
eagleeyetom, djnilse and AChep, HashyCode.

As set in stone by doixanh, the main goal is to have a fast, smooth and lightweight CM7 based ROM with some special features.

Before we begin:
Code:
package gingerdx;

import disclaimer;

public class GingerDXDisclaimer extends Disclaimer {

    /**
     * Your warranty is now likely void.
     *
     * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * spontaneous combustion, or any other host of cosmic penalties
     * which may befall you, your family, or your phone.
     *
     */
    public GingerDXDisclaimer(){
        warranty.set(0);
    }

}

GingerDX now even has its own IRC channel!

Known Bugs

Requirements
  • Rooted
  • ClockworkMod Recovery (v014+)
  • Baseband 015

  • Desire to get rid of Stock Eclair :D

Project sources and licenses
  • Our source code repository at GitHub (for GingerDX v023 onwards)

    Sources forked from Cyanogenmod are published under the terms of the Apache License 2.0
    Code contributions and binary distributions are published under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2

    NOTE: "Soft-Modders aka. WinZipers" are exempt from the licensing terms above. You are now NOT allowed to use the pre-built ROM, or any parts thereof, in any way, shape, or form. Don't bother asking for permit, you won't get it. However there is a chance to get our permission, but your project HAS to have published sources

    If you want to join in development to help advancing the ROM, or want to port it to other devices, then please drop us a PM or contact us at our IRC channel.
  • doixanh's source repository at GitHub (for GingerDX up to v022)
    Sources and binary distribution of GingerDX up to v022 are published under license terms set forth by doixanh.


Previous AddOns (Optional)
NOTE: Flash these AFTER you flashed GingerDX

Install Instructions
  • Flash nAa through Flashtool
    Note that flashing a kernel requires you to unlock the boot loader. Check the manufacturing date of your phone here first to avoid hard bricking!
  • Download the ROM
  • Copy the ZIP file to your SD card
  • Install custom zip
  • Flash GAPPS
  • Reboot
All versions will preserve your DATA partition, so don't worry about losing apps or settings.


Themes
NOTE: We are not responsible for system instabilities caused by themes
The formerly included theme was A-Theme Lite by AChep.

GingerDX natively supports T-Mobile themes. You can find other themes in the list of available T-Mobile themes in XDA Android's theme sticky.
Download the theme of your choice onto your phone and use Theme Chooser (included in GingerDX) to select theme.


Notice
Very important. Read all before posting questions!
1. This ROM is based on doixanh's personal ROM and continued in the same philosophy to keep it as lightweight as possible. You can report bugs in this thread and suggest additions, but understand we're not obligated to fix or include them. We'll fix what is needed, and we'll include what makes sense.
2. We are NOT responsible for any bugs caused by custom-made fixes/additions/tweaks. You use them at your own risk and responsibility!
3. Regarding the copyright branding at the bottom in Lockscreen: We will NOT remove them nor provide any option to disable them. Don't PM/Post to ask for the removal or nag otherwise.
4. If you have battery drain, try the following:
  • Clear battery stats in recovery.
  • Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.
  • Turn OFF 'Allow mock locations'.
  • Don't set brightness too high.
  • Don't install too many unused apps.
  • Turn OFF WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when not in use.
  • Turn OFF LED Succession.
  • Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past).
Generally, doixanh and me usually get 2-3 days out of a charge (give or take depending on usage).
5. If you still have battery drain after following Step 4, try:
  • Full wipe in recovery, re-install GingerDX.
  • Use Stock ROM for several days to see if the battery problem is caused by GingerDX or not.
  • If it doesn't drain, try installing one of your apps, test battery for a day, install another one, and test.
  • and so on...
That way you will know what's the cause of your battery drain.


Thanks
Thanks also go out to Google for their great little Android. :)
And don't let us forget to throw Sony Ericsson a thanks for their nice X8 hardware but craptastic software support.


Donation
You like this ROM? Feel free to drop a donation to us :)

I guess I don't have test anymore for now... Sorry for not reporting bugs for RC2, didn't have time to re-sync everything (yet I still don't have much time like before).

Though, it's still great ROM.

I just noticed a bug...
When getting notifications, clock on center status bar doesn't disappear... So, the notification text overlaps with center clock...

Anything else seems great :D

After using it about a day, I found that this ROM is a bit unstable... I met bootloops several times just because I reboot the phone (without changing things). Sometimes, it hangs on the boot animation. On other time, the setup menu keeps showing after a reboot, eventhough I already signing up a google account.. On one occasion, after I do a backup, all of the apps is cleaned (as if I'm doing a factory reset).

To be honest, I have a high expectation on this ROM... Hope the devs do some updates :)

Thanks for such excellent work, the ROM is very fast and smooth, took a day with her and when no reboot or anything like that, the only thing at the moment is that when you connect the USB touch screen rotated to activate the storage, rest all good ... I just hope a little better battery performance ...

Okay, I'm curious about the various problems occurred, so I try a clean install...
It seems that dc2sd is the culprit... I have none of the problems I've said right now...
Nice, smooth ROM with ICS-JB feel.. what to expect more ? xD

Oh yeah, the auto-brightness is working as well !! :D
For now, the only bug still exist is :
- the center clock-notification bar issue
- ultra brightness doesn't set up after reboot (need to re-enabled it again to work)

    Intro
    Let's continue the fun! :)

    This project is a continuation of doixanh's personal ROM, known as GingerDX.
    ("Ginger" as in "Gingerbread", and "DX" as in short for "doixanh")

    Brought to you by TeamFun:
    eagleeyetom, djnilse and AChep, HashyCode.

    As set in stone by doixanh, the main goal is to have a fast, smooth and lightweight CM7 based ROM with some special features.

    Before we begin:
    Code:
    package gingerdx;
    
    import disclaimer;
    
    public class GingerDXDisclaimer extends Disclaimer {
    
        /**
         * Your warranty is now likely void.
         *
         * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
         * spontaneous combustion, or any other host of cosmic penalties
         * which may befall you, your family, or your phone.
         *
         */
        public GingerDXDisclaimer(){
            warranty.set(0);
        }
    
    }

    GingerDX now even has its own IRC channel!

    Previous AddOns (Optional)
    NOTE: Flash these AFTER you flashed GingerDX

    Install Instructions
    • Flash nAa through Flashtool
      Note that flashing a kernel requires you to unlock the boot loader. Check the manufacturing date of your phone here first to avoid hard bricking!
    • Download the ROM
    • Copy the ZIP file to your SD card
    • Install custom zip
    • Flash GAPPS
    • Reboot
    All versions will preserve your DATA partition, so don't worry about losing apps or settings.


    Themes
    NOTE: We are not responsible for system instabilities caused by themes
    The formerly included theme was A-Theme Lite by AChep.

    GingerDX natively supports T-Mobile themes. You can find other themes in the list of available T-Mobile themes in XDA Android's theme sticky.
    Download the theme of your choice onto your phone and use Theme Chooser (included in GingerDX) to select theme.


    Notice
    Very important. Read all before posting questions!
    1. This ROM is based on doixanh's personal ROM and continued in the same philosophy to keep it as lightweight as possible. You can report bugs in this thread and suggest additions, but understand we're not obligated to fix or include them. We'll fix what is needed, and we'll include what makes sense.
    2. We are NOT responsible for any bugs caused by custom-made fixes/additions/tweaks. You use them at your own risk and responsibility!
    3. Regarding the copyright branding at the bottom in Lockscreen: We will NOT remove them nor provide any option to disable them. Don't PM/Post to ask for the removal or nag otherwise.
    4. If you have battery drain, try the following:
    • Clear battery stats in recovery.
    • Freeze unused services (like Email, DSP Manager, Maps). This is important.
    • Turn OFF 'Allow mock locations'.
    • Don't set brightness too high.
    • Don't install too many unused apps.
    • Turn OFF WiFi, 2G, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth when not in use.
    • Turn OFF LED Succession.
    • Reboot after you listen to music. Music service caused battery drain (in the past).
    Generally, doixanh and me usually get 2-3 days out of a charge (give or take depending on usage).
    5. If you still have battery drain after following Step 4, try:
    • Full wipe in recovery, re-install GingerDX.
    • Use Stock ROM for several days to see if the battery problem is caused by GingerDX or not.
    • If it doesn't drain, try installing one of your apps, test battery for a day, install another one, and test.
    • and so on...
    That way you will know what's the cause of your battery drain.


    Thanks
