LAST QUESTION ABOVE THIS... READ THIS!!!

You have to wipe ALL:
- if your new rom version is different from previous, even gingerbread gingerbread, as example you change from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 or to 2.3.5
- if youre coming from froyo and go to gingerbread or vice versa

You have to wipe cache/dalvik only
- if you change between same versions of gingerbread, as example you're coming from 2.3.4 and switch to another 2.3.4

You have to wipe even ALL
- if you're coming from mik's 2.3.x or any another rom and would like to change to Andy's Phoenix 2.3.4 because it's different API code

Pixelization problem in andy's rom

I can't post in the dev section but reading the comments and seeing the screenshots, I just wonder if the pixelization is related to a compression algorithm
that is implemented in the rom.

Haven't got time to tinker with phone here, Andy released on 2AM and then I have to go to work lol. Has anyone confirmed the USB detecting without LG driver feature? That's my most anticipated feature.

Also, nice to know I don't need the extra step to change recovery first. I know AmonRa is old, but it hasn't given me problems so changing isn't high on my list :p

Interesting that people in the dev thread says it works with both old and new basebands.

So I flashed the new rom, it looks amazing but the only problem I came across was no mobile data, I even flashed the gapps but still no mobile data. Anyone have the same problem.

    here a short announcement:

    the next release will be increased in Android version, i have imported all
    libs and java files so we can enjoy new apps from market based on newer
    versions - there will be now actual 2.3.7
    the new libs fixed some bugs like misplaced icons/fonts in statusbar when in
    landscape mode, usb tethering is working too and now i concentrate for
    some more bug fixes.

    why this action?
    i thought i can stay on Android 2.3.4 and have only to patch some things
    when a bug fix was released from google/caf or CM ... i have to say, its not
    the best way to develop stable software - as we can see, developing of
    android goes really fast, month by month ... so we (here on XDA) should
    follow the developent state of android so users can enjoy all things what
    android have.

    Please do not ask when i release the rom, i write it here, on my blog and on facebook.

    stay tuned!

    currently working on last steps on the contacts/phone app ... beside that i updated some nice things on the basic system:

    - backported font configuration from ICS to /etc/font_config.xml (allows users to set other fonts via a config file rather than to hack the system)
    - backported better ninepatch graphics from ICS
    - default font is now Roboto from ICS

    the next year i modify the launcher and the setings to so it looks more like ICS :)

    ... and ... screens from system are coming tomorrow or the next days.
    16
    As i wrote, today users get some new screenshots from my big gingerbread mod :D

    next steps:
    - try to get contact pictures from system bigger in size than 32 pixels (maybe this
    can be generated when the users modify a contact picture)
    - implement current contact picture in QuickContact dialog

    next mod steps in contacts app:
    - re-layout the contact detail activity and show the call history in this item
    - remove the contact list from tab view and show the favorites instead
    - re-layout favorites activity as seen in ICS

    all these steps i try to have done until x-mas so i can after x-mas fix some bugs in the system.

    #### EDIT
    W.T.F.: it is unthinkable, if i want a bigger size from a contact image, it looks blurry ... why? google isnt fixing
    a 2 (!!!) yers old bug with google contact sync :( read here for your self: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5046#c146
    so i think, the Quickcontact dialog and phone calls will still have blurry pictures *aaarrrggghhhhh* :(

    Ok, a next part is ready and working:

    The screen shows your favorites from contacts in the Top of the activity as a horizontal
    scrollable list ordered by the contact name, if you tap a contact you open the contact details - there you can trigger
    all actions like calling, mailing or writing sms.

    the content below shows you suggestions for frequently used contacts, with a tap on
    this contact you open the contact details too.
