Well, I'm going to be helping out with GG from now on. I'm leaving behind GhostBlaze in favor of a new start from a more stable base. I've already spoken to Adjust/Reviewers for permission and I'm good to start!

I've used GG before, but now that I'm actually seeing progress from Rev and JiN, I'm gonna flash this when I get home. And yes I'm going to just keep calling you Revolution, that's what your name was when you were devving for us before, and personally I like that name more than the ones you've changed to.

Good job guys. Keep it up. :D

3. After bootup, run SuperUser and update the SuperUser binary (otherwise you may encounter
4. The default launcher takes about 24 MB or RAM, if you require something lighter or find a launcher you like better, install it instead. Easy recommendations are LauncherPro and Nemus.

I saw this got ignored so i wanted to repost.. Or is it possible to add a theme like scarlet's leftovers to it?

Not ignored, I'm going to try to learn how. But I'm not confident with that yet.

BTW, didn't know there was an Android voice, didn't make any sounds for me.

I would need to look closer, but I believe the status bar icons are one of the easiest things to change, and can be done with the UOT Kitchen, and maybe even with the app Metamorph, or one like that. it is definitely do-able, and I can look later as well.

thanks for pushing out versions so quickly. it's nice to see work being done for this great little device.

Guys, 3.4 BETA should be stable. I just need feedback, and that's why I named it a BETA. The sooner people give me feedback about this version, if they notice any performance gains, or app crashes, I can fix it, and move into a final and then a 3.5 release. Help us, help you. I'm one of the few last devs, not many other devs either have the phone anymore, or are too busy to support it. I manage to make time, so make some time as well to test it! The more feedback, the better!

I have 3.4 Beta on my backup device, and first impression is: pretty freakin' fast! the launcher is insanely fast when scrolling and opening the app drawer. the ROM also seems stable, tho I haven't done a whole lot with it yet. great job!

Good job by the way.

    Hey reviewers...Do you want me to start this project over

    Because of the sheer amount of downloads I got on GenericGinger 3.4 BETA alone, (204) in just one day, I've decided to release both a beta, and stable version of 3.5, read below to understand.

    3.5 changelog...

    *added task manager back from GOV2 (The original Samsung one)
    *added Voodoo sound control (for added audio control)
    *MAY switch launcher to LauncherPro or Faster Than Light (FTL) more testing is required [in v3.6]
    *added Tegrak Overclock (for overclocking ASAP)
    *added Swype Beta 3.26 (EXTREMELY BUGGY NEED TO TEST)

    Please note : For this particular version, I have released 2 ROMS. One has Swype Beta 3.26, and one doesn't have Swype at all.

    If you want to test the ROM with Swype Beta 3.26, go ahead and let us know if it works and has the orange tracing line. If it crashes and is NOT stable, simply just download and flash the 3.5 ROM WITHOUT the Swype.
