[ROM] Gumbo 2.1

Here's the link, I'm sure he will post it here a little later but for those who can't wait

You just know this sub forum is BURNING HOT right now when this thread has 79 views in 12 minutes LOL

Yup, 1 minute from downloading left. LOL, exciting stuff happening all over XDA today.

i really wish i wasn't so stubborn on waiting for camera and mms.

I am still waiting too.... but its ok, I am happy trying them out and seeing where we are at. I will be more than happy whenever it happens

2.1 uh oh
Tehe, thus far I've held off on the 2.1 builds because stuff hasn't been working, I guess since I'm backing up my device and switching ROM builds today anyway I'll have to just accidentally pop this on there and see what happens :-D
Edit: Was unable to get the Market to work at all. No FC message, just fails to start.

Doesnt have all market apps

Olive juice gbhil!!!
Just because I'm straight and don't feel like saying "I love you." I guess you could substitute "Alligator food" in there too.
Thanks for the hard work!

Im still waiting because of the mms and camera too.

Can anyone confirm if the Verizon FIOS Mobile Remote app is or isn't available in the Market with this ROM?

Wow, this ROM FREAKING FLIES.
The pinch to zoom on the home screen is blazing fast. I am extremely impressed. 2.1 on our devices is going to be awesome. Thanks again for your hard work Gbhil!!!!
**Edit**
Location, like all other 2.1 ROMs I've tried though, is off. It initially said I was in Kansas City, which is right, but it quickly changed to "Washington" which is what the other roms said, which DEFINITELY isn't right

Could someone who has run both this one an flipz new release compare the two? I'd really like to know how they differ if they do at all. Thanks in advance

Oh trust me I know that reading is a good thing, I'm not that big of a n00b lol, but I just wanted some first hand experiences like how the ROMS feel, not necessarily what's in them

To add to my previous post, the location services are working fine, it just seems (like in other 2.1 roms) that the location noted in the HTC home screen clock is what isn't working properly.
I get the correct location returned in one of my test apps, and see myself fine in the Google maps v4, so I dunno...maybe there's something missing with the HTC Location Services apk?
Oh yeah, and SetCPU is awesome on this rom too

would i have to wipe this coming from fresh rom??

i had force close on "3g Update"?!?!

I just noticed: txt messages after daylight savings got a bit screwy for some people, where messages would be stamped an hour earlier and be out of order. Now Ive sent and recieved a few txts and they are showing the correct order and timestamps.
Anyone else?
Using Gumbo 2.1

Market issues HAVE NOTHING TO DO themes!!!

On every theme thread people keep reporting that the theme is causing the problem, they're NOT!!! The Market has had issues since 1.6, and they continue with 2.1, and the Market issues aren't just related to the X10.
Go to start a new thread and type "market issue", and you will see that other brands and handsets suffer from the problem too.
I know I haven't modded the Market app, and know that others haven't too, had we of done there might be something to suggest it's the theme, but we haven't and it isn't!!

Just uninstall the market update from "manage applications" and all should be well

Never said it was your fault mate. But it is something that is easily replicated for me. I only use your theme so do not have a comparison.
I am NOT complaining, I choose to do these things to my phone and I am aware of the risks.
The market seems to be getting worse rather than better, really wish they would pull their finger out and sort it.
I have no problems clearing market cache etc.....
Something about the process of applying themes certainly does seem to upset the market though, but like I said, I do not hold you responsible my friend.

Works fine most of the time, just wish the monkeys could sort it out for good. It is way too unstable.

I'm just saying as it's been said on every theme thread despite the issues existing since 1.6 and with other phones too.

Hate to say I told you so

Definitely not a theme thing. I've seen this happen with a fresh firmware install.
It has something to do with the Market update, and as others have said simply uninstalling the market update fixes the problem every time.

I don't really follow the other theme threads very much.
Like I said, messing with files like this is risky, just wish people were better prepared for when things go wrong.

And like I've said, the Market app hasn't been modified by any themer as far as I'm aware and as pointed out it's happened on a fresh install for one person which supports what's already been said.

Hopefully android will fix this bug soon!

They are aware of the problem for a longer time, but instead of making it better they just keep sliding downhill...it seems to be complicated. There were several times devs couldn't add their apps because of maintenance, so they are trying to solve it.

I know this has nothing to do with themes, because since I upgraded to 2.1 it happens to me almost once every other day. I just uninstall updates and it goes back to normal. It is obviously a Google issue.

If you guys have titanium backup pro, try using the its new feature of applying the market update directly into the rom (system/app). This seems to have increased stability for me. If you don't have the pro version, you can still move it via root explorer or adb.

I installed the theme step by step. but seriously the mearket stop working. it forces closing. it downloads as usual, but the problem is when it install, force closing.
can not install.
but i really like the theme. looks so mmwaaaaa !
i just repaired my phone.

is there a way to stop that stupid market updater?
it messes up my eternity theme, and disables appbrain FWInstaller :'(

Reedz, it isn't the theme mate. I believe it's simply the act of messing with those files that upsets market. I can often get the same result messing with other files. It is simply 'twitchy'.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Guys i got the way to solve this, you need to navigate to settings/applications/manage applications/market/ then in market uninstall updates.
go back to market and start downloading as usual.
hope it helps.

these things happen often , if one is decided to mod and go against the shipped ROM , then we have to anticipate such things ...
anyway as Reedz posted , the solution simply worked... XperiaX10user , keep up the good work , whatever ,and however much we work , Sh!t just happens out of nowhere ... , anyway i am ur fan man... waiting for ur next release , hoping that you get on to more color and rich combo of colors...

Yep. I did that and was able to download as usual. The next time I opened the market after that it was the updated market again though so there doesn't seem to be a way to suppress it completely. However, after the market upgraded itself the second time (after the uninstall updates step) the new market worked perfectly fine with my modified theme. No issues.

Froyo 2.2 released by AT&T finally?

Saw this on engadget but the link goes nowhere. Anybody confirm?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/16/samsung-captivate-on-atandt-gets-android-2-2-all-that-froyo-hasn/

Moved to general as not android development

that page has been there for some time, it is now gone

I couldn't find any other info on it - But being that the post was just made this morning, I'm still excited...

saw this too, but the page it linked to (which is pulled now btw) was actually a direct copy/paste of the 2.2 update for the Vibrant when I saw it last night. The cached version here still has all the tmobile references.

Maybe try to go back to stock and give kies a try.

I have to put it in debugging mode to get Kies Mini to see it. I have no idea what impact that may have on actually upgrading though. I'm stock Eclair BTW.

Towards the bottom in they have mobitv renamed to t-mobile tv.
Maybe they realized the error and pulled it.

Already discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956155

LOL. Samsung's/AT&T's never ending ineptitude provides quite a bit of comic relief. I mean...really, how hard is it to push an update? I remember getting OTA updates on my G1 without issue. Has nothing been learned since then?

I don't know how I missed that? Thanks though.

It had this sentence at the bottom too:
* What are risks for performing the upgrade?
o This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.

LOL, FIND ALL "T-Mobile" REPLACE WITH "AT&T" it's that easy.... or one would think....

I checked Kies Mini and nothing. Blah!

Ehh ...
The probability of Samsung/AT&T releasing something better than what you can find here at XDA is extremely low. The devs here at XDA are probably more familiar with the phone than Samsung or AT&T anyway, as they have actually been working with it these past few months.
I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't an XDA branded phone by now.

[GPS Scripts][DEC.05.2011 1.2 REGIONAL LOCATIONS RELEASED!]

DEC 05 2011:
REGIONAL GPS Scripts Updated from 1.0 to 1.2!
[This is a duplicate post I posted in the Aria forum] Mods if this is in the wrong forum and better suited in the general forum, please feel free to move.
Greetings All,
I would like some people to beta test something I have been working on in the HD2 forum, which I think will benefit MOST people. I cant guarantee it will work for everyone. I started this project in the HD2 forum because the GPS drivers are not complete with agps support, and made a new gps script to aide in helping lock times to be quicker, and to lock onto more sats. Which has been successful.
I have an Aria that I had laying around and my daughter wanted to use, so I decided to let her use it, which I just rooted, flashed a stock att rom, and upped the radio to current, then installed gps status and tried testing the gps. I was getting 2 sats with difficulty, after I replaced the gps.conf file, my lock time shortened very quickly and instantly had locks to 9 sats.
So even though I know the file is universal and just about any android phone can use this, I would like if people could try my file and post results here to see if it helps people with trouble with their GPS and even if you dont have trouble, if you just want to try it.
Some Inspire users that I have suggested this to have had positive results, which lead me to post in this forum to help and see if it makes a difference for anyone else. (I have an Inspire 4G as well)
Most from what I see only get a lock to 4 or 5 sats, seems 9-12 is unheard of. The files are in CWR so flashing it through recovery should not be a problem. If you want you can just pull the gps.conf file from the zip and adb push the file. The link obviously is in my Signature, but just to make it easy:
Instantaneous GPS Fixation v1.2! *FOR ALL ANDROIDS PHONES!*
Of course by the name, I have made files for the USA broken down into 6 regions, and I also made files for 62 countries.
If it works for you, please hit the Thanks button, do not fill the posts up with Thanks thats what the mods made a button for. If you feel the urge to donate, please feel free coffee does wonders.
But I am more then happy just to give back to XDA with what I can. If any Dev's wish to use any of my files, you may do so as long as credit is given where credit is due.
All 1.0 Files have been upgraded, Please read The Original Post about the Updates

I'll give it a go!
Edit: 18 sec. lock indoors with 8 sats.

My gps has been pretty fast before, still going to try this out.

Didn't work well for me. 3 sat fix almost instantly but then it would take about 5 min to get a location lock and the accuracy was absolute ****e. With stock settings I could lock outside in 15-20 sec with 20 meter accuracy. Guess I need to learn to leave good 'nuf alone.
Sent from me using this thing.

With the app GPS status.. my CM7 (final build) takes 2 minutes to reach 2-3 satellites and the app isn't done testing! With this script, the app took 6 seconds for full 7 sat lock on! 6 seconds and the app was DONE testing...! Thank you!!!! ps testing was in-doors.

You get a wink OP. Thats how amazing this script is. Inside, during a thunderstorm, I got 11 SAT locks Amazing stuff.

Are you guys flashing 1.1(region) or 1.0(country)?

I flashed country as the Northeast one wouldn't download on my phone lol Works just fine. But Im going to try the Northeast one today and see if I get the same results.

I flashed 1.0 and it works perfectly. Only takes at most 30 seconds for a lock.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

The 1.1 has been broken down for the US regions, all the links should work, remember they will not download from a phone, and I have no idea why, but if anyone has any trouble downloading the files check to make sure you have pop-up blockers off, also if you click on it it will open a new window with a blank page and a gold download bar, or you could try right clicking the link and try open in new tab.
the new versions are more focused specifically for the different regions.
But I am glad its working well for most of you. Glad to help out.

Hey Angel, 1 thing. When I install the North-East ZIP, the script says now installing for US Mid-West? Anyone else confirm?

Probably used the same update-script.

Yes the install script on all of them says the same thing, I was doing it at 3am and was too tired to do the banners for each and every place.

Android Market Update... Same Version?

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes when you update a app from the Market, its the Same exact version? Happened to me about 6 times this week... What's up with that?
*EDIT*
Also how come certain apps Don't show as having a update until I physically click it myself, when most of the others show that there's a update available?
Thanxx in Advance!

I had this problem many times, even today.
Today (Feb 10) an app called Spool was shown as update available, but the chnagelog was same as one for last update which I did, and market website shows it as last updated on Feb 6th.

Is there Anyway to Fix this? The ****s getting Annoying man... Sometimes I catch it but sometimes I Don't until I go to make a backup and it says already backed up!

Could it be something like some permissions were changed, thus showing as an update?
It happened to me with Waze this week- exactly same version build but somewhere in changelog it was written that the update is because some permission was revoked.
