[Rom][2-21-12]GingerVolt Rom 2.0 w/ Blitzkrieg Kernel

mtmichaelson · Oct 31, 2011

Hello all! Here it is GingerVolt Rom!!! It has been fully cleaned out to decrease size and to increase speed. It will continue to be a work in progress! I hope you all enjoy!!!

What is this?
This is a very lightweight rom built both for speed and stability. This rom is based off of the latest LG update to Gingerbread. It is fully deodexed, and debloated. Almost all of LG has been replaced and as time goes by, I hope to remove the rest. Swype has also been changed to the newest Beta. A few items have been replaced with AOSP versions to increase speed and decrease size. Also included is the appwidgetpicker to clean that up.

hadookee · Oct 31, 2011

thx for all your work mt.

quick question, just updated to GB and rooted. now how do I get clockwork back on the revo? can I still use the revotoolkit the cubed made.... I remember reading a posting of someone running into issues doing it that way but can't seem to find it now.

bhp117 · Oct 31, 2011

Yes, use Revotoolkit to install recovery. After installing, hit the check recovery version, it should be 4.0.0.2 or something like that. Then reboot into recovery.

Use that, reboot to cwm make a backup of stock for insurance then follow his instructions. Should hold cwm after gingervolt

Thanks! Been holding on to it for the right time, lol.

I'm confused on this process... so we need to go back to day 1 and remove CWR and the whole 9 yards to grab this? Please tell me the process doesn't involve playing with tot files?

if you were a good boy and have a factory stock rooted CWM backup, then you don't have to... if you don't have one of these, then it seems as if you would... although you may be able to grab cubed's stock factory rooted rom that I think is floating around in a thread... maybe

Haro912 · Oct 31, 2011

No .tot needed. Just need to grab the stocked rooted backup off the forums from cubed. Restore that, wipe data, uninstall cwm pull both updates wipe data, and internal for safe measure, then reroot using mt's root method. He has everything you need in his post.

No its not that bad. Tomorrow I will make a return to stock zip to flash through cwm, then install stock recovery with revotoolkit, then update. Shouldn't be too bad after tomorrow.

What's the worst that can happen if I try to install this over 1.5?

You get a nice fancy paperweight

worst case of course. 2 people have tried to go from V4 to this. Me from Revolt1.5 I bricked and never made it into the ROM itself and Beamer made it in from stock V4 and then had lots of reboots

I have never heard of an Android phone being bricked, unfixably. So your saying doing that could permanently brick my phone?

A working method hasn't been figured out yet to go straight from revolt to gingervolt. Whole bunch of soft bricks from trying.

I have backups going all the way back, but I wouldn't have one of stock recovery (making a backup of a recovery with a recovery that wasn't installed would be hard). I was involved in the original piecing together of CWR, so I have all the original partitions, but some of those copies caused bricks, and I'm not sure which ones :O

Soft brick restoring to Revolt fixes it.

Just pull the cubes stock restore. Also, I installed revo toolkit and go the stock recovery from there.

Same as with majorpay

Only think is the cubes stock restore doesn't have everything. I wiped data and cache and dalvik and it booted right up. I installed revo toolkit and go the stock recovery from there. the pulled the OTA updates. When rerooting I wiped data and the internal storage went right through once I got the right drivers.
