Flashing procedure/requirements:

• ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.7+ required!

1. Download ROM and VR_SUPERWIPE.zip (modded to work on CWM3)
2. Transfer ROM and VR_SUPERWIPE.zip to SD card
3. Reboot phone to recovery
4. Make a nandroid backup (not required, but helpful)
5. Flash the VR_SUPERWIPE.zip FIRST! This will wipe all partitions on your phone, including: boot, data, system, and cache.
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Flash GingerSense ReMix. When the install completes, reboot phone.
8. Let the phone boot to the lockscreen. Don't unlock the phone yet!
9. This ROM needs to sit for a good 5 minutes before unlocking fr the first time. It might be tough, but just leave it on the counter and watch some XDA TV


That's it! enjoy the rom! If you have an issue, please follow the procedure for reporting a bug in the third post

Navigation is working good but can be finicky so:
1) Put Maps, Navigation, and GPS settings shortcuts on the desktop
2) Toggle GPS on
3) Make sure the icon toggles on (No \) and off (\) on the notification bar
4) If GPS icon shows on then open maps
5) If maps works you are good to go with anything depending on GPS.

NOTE: If the slash does not go away on the GPS notification icon keep toggling until it goes on and off consistently

How to set up the Android SDK and ADB:

If you're on windows, you'll do the following:

1. Download the installer here: http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r11-windows.exe

2. Run the installer, and follow the steps. If it asks to install java, go ahead and install it. Then, choose where you want the SDK to be installed (I use C:\asdk for ease of use).

3. When the installer finishes, go to you're install location and open the SDK Manager.exe

4. A dialog should pop up with a list of updates. Click the "Accept All" bubble and click OK.

5. After the download is finished, check the list of installed packages, and make sure the "Google USB Driver package" is in the list.

6. Plug your device into the computer's USB port. On the phone, make sure USB debugging is on (check the notification area). If it's not on, go to Settings->Applications->Development and check USB debugging.

7. Go to you're Device Manager in windows by right-clicking "My Computer" in windows explorer, then clicking "Manage". In the application that opens, click "Device Manager" on the left side.

8. You will see something like "Android phone" under Other Devices; there should be an exclamation point next to it.

9. Right click that, and select "Update driver software" or something similar.

10. In te window that pops up, choose to browse for the driver manually. In the next window, select "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"

11. Select "All Devices", then click "Have Disk". In the dialog that appears, enter the location of your downloaded driver (in my case: C:\asdk\extras\google\usb_driver). Click OK

12. A list of Android drivers should show up. Select "Android ADB Interface", then Next. Click Yes if it asks.

13. Use the Windows key + R to bring up the run dialog box. Type "cmd" (without quotes). Command prompt should pop up.

14. Type the following, pressing enter at the end of each box below:

cd C:\asdk\platform-tools

*modify this line with the path to your sdk

adb devices

*should show "HTXXXXXXXXXX device". If it does, you have adb installed correctly!

adb logcat > logcat.txt

*this starts the logcat, and ">" outputs the logcat to a file

15. Once the phone reboots, press Ctrl + C to stop logcat, if it hasn't already. Take the logcat.txt file, and upload it to pastebin.com. PM me the link

If you need more help, feel free to ask. I wrote this from memory, so I may have made an error or two. It looks pretty right to me

How to add ADB and other SDK tools to your PATH variable:

Adding a folder to your PATH variable makes it so you can execute adb, aapt, ddms, zipalign (and other useful development tools in your SDK) from any folder on your computer, saving you from having to type the whole path to these binaries.

I will be teaching you to do this for the folders inside your SDK, but the same procedure can also apply to any other folder on your computer, just change the path to the folder as needed.

I assume in this guide that you already went through the steps of setting up the sdk posted above...

In Windows:

1. Open up an Explorer window

2. Right-click My Computer, then click Properties

3. In the window that pops up, click "Advanced System Properties"

4. At the bottom of the box that pops up, click on the "Environment Variables" button

5. Look at the top list, look for "PATH". If you don't see "PATH", click the "New..." button. (if not, skip to step 6)

a. In the "Variable name" text box, type "PATH" (uppercase, no quotes)

b. In the "Variable value" text box, enter the path to your android sdk, followed by \tools or \platform-tools. Separate paths with a semicolon ";" (ex.: "C:\asdk\tools;C:\asdk\platform-tools" without quotes)

​

6. If a PATH variable exists already, simply click the "Edit..." button and use the same instructions as in steps 5a and 5b

7. When finished entering paths, click OK.

8. Click OK again to save the settings.

9. To confirm it worked, press "WINDOWS BUTTON" + R to bring up the Run prompt, and type "cmd" (without quotes). In Command Prompt, type adb, and if you get any output either than "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.", you're good to go!

I can edit and save that in notepad and itll be fine right? New to the whole inner workings of these scripts and coding in general... complete noob actually

 

[Amphibliam]

I would flash this right now if MMS worked.

I would suggest using a program called Notepad++, as it wont destroy the UNIX "new-line" invisible character that windows hates.

I have also found a few more errors after the one posted, so I'm updating the op with something you guys can copy/paste to make it easier.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. I feel like such a noob right now...lol

your also gonna re-upload it right? >.<

 

[Amphibliam]

it won't install. I realized MMS was not texting lol. so i tried and it no work!

This looks like the perfect median to stability and sense 3.0. I actually run 3.0 w/ little problems; the only bug I found was graphical issues in the weather app but it was laggy and heavy. The only thing I really loved in 3.0 was the task manager and the lockscreen w/ widgets but since this has it and is stable I will flash this once it's ready. Do you know if the HTC Sense 3.0 Camera (XDA Thread) will work because it works on the Kingdom port. This isn't a deal breaker just would make the rom more awesome.

 

[Vernox701]

Just my opinion because I haven't downloaded most of the ports are based from Sprint phones and they sometimes leave in the sprint settings could that be the issue for mms not working?

 

[wdfowty]

your also gonna re-upload it right? >.<

Of course

I'm uploading right now to multiupload, gonna take an hour and 45 min with my crappy connection.

Just my opinion because I haven't downloaded most of the ports are based from Sprint phones and they sometimes leave in the sprint settings could that be the issue for mms not working?

Quite possibly. I ported this directly from the Desire rom. I'm looking into it

 

[PGleo86]

Does this have Darktremor's A2SD script? if not i'm flashing in a couple days

 

[wdfowty]

Does this have Darktremor's A2SD script? if not i'm flashing in a couple days

Yes, A2SD is built-in

 

[PGleo86]

Yes, A2SD is built-in

Does it automatically move all the Apps to the sd card or can you choose not to do it?
