Gingerbread & CM6.1 RC2

so i am just wondering what will happen if say the G2 does get gingerbread and I am Running CM 6.1 RC2... will i get the update, or will i have to go back to the stock rom to get it to work with the phone... assuming CM 6.1 wont work with 2.3 right away?

I agree OTAs are always blocked especially in CM6, I wonder if Gingerbread will be called CM7?

since CM has been going up in version for every other release of android then i would say it is safe to say that gingerbread will become CM7

Pointless argument:
True. But Eclair (2.0/1) was 6.0, and Froyo (2.2) is 6.1. So if Gingerbread is really 2.3 as suggested, then it'd make sense that it be 6.2.
Either way, it doesn't matter

No, you're wrong.
Donut was CM4.
Eclair was CM5.
Froyo is CM6. When cyanogen updated to 2.2.1, that may have been why they changed it to 6.1, don't quote me on it though.
So it makes sense that Gingerbread will be CM7

haha whoops, got my version numbers mixed up for a bit. It's been forever since I wasn't on cm6. My bad
To answer the OP: yes, ota's are blocked in cm. A rooted build will be out within the next day of release, and might work over cm without a wipe. Sadly, cm7 on the other hand won't be out for a little while after gingerbread source is released.

NO you are!!11 dot

I have the same question... But the difference is that Im running Virtuous 0.7.0 (I really like the Sense on my G2)... so, If Gingerbread is released... Will apply to my phone, even if im running that awesome Virtuous ROM? or I have to do what @aad4321 replied earlier??

I wouldn't worry. A CM Gingerbread build will be out long before a carrier OTA...unless you're on a Nexus One!

Recommedation Required: Best Gingerbread Custom ROM

I've been using Micromod's v.19 GB ROM for about a month now, however, it's becoming more apparent that it's not very bug free as I use it more. The bugs seem to be increasing, I get more app crashes and weird bugs the more I use it.
I haven't tried a ROM based on the CM7 nightlies yet. Does anyone have a recommendation for any of the Gingerbread custom ROMs?

I've been tempted to move to LeoGingerBread ROM. It's based on AOSP with CM7 filling in the missing parts and is customizable through leoparts. Seems to be a complete package.

So flash another rom and see for yourself..

Micromod is a nice rom but has got a lots of bugs and is not as stable. Now answer to your question - it's really a personal preference, I am using CM7 nightlies since a month, its been improving and updating almost everyday, getting better with each iteration. Again, its a personal preference, but why don't you just try downloading those roms with gingerbread and try them for a few days one by one... may be you will find one which suits your needs.

I find CM7 really slow, compared to some Froyo ROMs (i.e. Enomther). Even LeoGingerbread is slow, as it includes CM7's framework (as of the actual version).

I've been very pleased with Micromod's Gingerbread Custom CM7 Mod. The only issue I have is occasional resets, but it sounds like that's a problem with other CM7 ROMs as well.
BTW, does anyone know if FM radio is working on any of the other CM7 Gingerbread ROMs? That's the main reason I chose Micromod's version over the others.

Using Leo's ROM now. Wait for 0.9.2 and flash (currently there's a bug in Apps2SD). It's a mix of AOSP and CM7.
Didn't encounter any weirdness yet.

I'm agree with you. I've been using MicroMod CM 7 v1.3 for almost a month and it works very well. It's too bad that MM left us for another phone :-(
But, thanks for your great effort MicroMod :-D

I personally like Geo's GRH55 build. Fairly stock, but it's speedy and has trackball awake - the only killer feature I needed.
[ROM] Gingerbread (GRH55), Deodexed, rooted, busybox, battery%, TB alert/wake 2/11/11
On the downside, HQ Youtube is not working on it, but it appears everything else is so far.

[Q] ROM based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense with all the +++ !

Hi - my Hero's !
Are U looking for a real hero ROM?
I totally agree with the quote from rdejager @ villainrom.co.uk/forum :
We can all face it - the hero is not made for 2.2 and even more 2.3 .... Our phones are just not made for 2.3 sense and 2.2 sense .... 2.1 sense roms run fine on the hero. and you can really see that they are made for it, cuss everything just works for it, the hardware is made to the software...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So - do U want to use the power of our long development journey in a fresh ROM?(based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense 2.1)
Good News:
-> Repack ROM from elelinux based on stock ROM 3.36.405.1!
-> VillainROM v13.0 Release * WWE * Android 2.1 *
-> other 2.1 roms
How do U tweak them? How du U like them?
Thankx for any helpful suggestions!

http://www.ekg-clan.de/pasta/hrdb/index.php?site=a21 choose the one you like most they are all good. but if you want only one named: Cronos 2.1.4.1 Sense Eclair

@iPasta: Thankx for the link - nice overview!
Like to try a 2.1 SenseROM again after spending a couple of months on Ginger & Froyo.
At first I want a speedy and stable build.
I have just tried to flash 7.0 v1.0 (Elelinux) - and no, it is still noticeably slower than Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero-Speedmachine rom (6.2). Slightly faster that 7.0 v0.9, but still far beyond 2.2. So; is it possible that a 2.1 feels again more faster?
Will report back my impressions - if U like!

I would suggest Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM. It is, apart of Cronos, the latest updated 2.1 ROM, and is by far smaller in size (nearly 30 MB!). In addition FlyKernel-12a is a good choice

@Krizp0 : Thankx! So:
Do U agree with:
"After a long time playing with 2.2-non-sense-ROM's, I returned to 2.1-Sense.
--> Nothing smoother than 'Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM' with FlyKernel 12a."

Well, I know I went from 2.3 Gingerbread to Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM and felt very satisfied with the speed and stability of good old 2.1, especially since Sense makes your phone full and not fragmented so you have to download widgets and other things to get it as you want. The only thing you may miss is the new functions and apps that require 2.2+.
Edit: I also encourage you to take a look at Tegro 2.5 RC3, it is very Sense-like, but I haven't tested it.

If you want a rom that is A sense rom 2.1 for the HTC Hero GSM and build for it and that just works 100%.
Use Villainrom 12. You can customize it with their kitchen. It may be old, but that doesnt mean its crap .
I myself flashed FlyKernel 11C BFS over it and it works fine here .

Why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1 / 13) !?
Thankx for the suggestions - looking again for VillainROM (i'm a donator)!
I'm impressed and feel backed in my plan to downgrade to 2.1 sense Rom.
My question now is:
How do we can make "VillainROM 12" or other "2.1" Roms more stripped and tweaked?
What do U recommend?
- FlyKernel 12 / Implement Kernel tweaks.
- OpenGL
- EGL
- Gallery 3D
- Latest Gapps
- Implement HTC Hero OTA update 3.36.405.1
So - why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1) !?

I am trying to implement this OTA into VR12.1.
Will play with the OpenGL things too

Which kernel do U include into 12.1?

So far as I know a modded version of FlyKernel 11C Cuss 12A is buggy, for me it is unstable and I dont like it. now running 11C on Villainrom and well it runs smoother then 12A

Pulsar had a modded version of Flykernel 11C in his Froydvillain release. I was refearing to that.
What did I tweak. well the lockscreen, battery Icon, and I removed like 90% of the apps. and I updated EGL. And well I love it.
Now I am on Flykernel 12A M652-M176-noatime
I got awesome battery life.
I went back to Ginger for a test. and well no that was a no go....
The speed in Villainrom is insane.

RCMix is nice and all, but still even VR12 is bloated but RCMix, man... even if you remove all that crap. You can never get the speed of VR12.

BAD Quadrant point and it is slow! :/
but thnx!
=)
I use right now GingerBread (Quadrant: 890-980)

Enable Stagefright and you'll get a better quadrant score, not that it matters.

OK, thanks!

have you tried Blue Ginger v5 ?
I actually love it, but am not very experienced and have no idea what Quadrant is.
(note that this is the rom I am struggling to get boot sound on though)

just installed that Quadrant, standard edition
and it gives my gen 2 blade with blue ginger only 760 !
Blue Ginger perhaps no use to you then, but I love it nonetheless.

Man with CM7 you get a new nightly every night! So every time someone suggests you and you reply 'I try Nxxx, I try Nxxx' - there is no way out!
Also, Quadrant scores are rubbish, pointless and baseless! I won't go by that.
None of the Gen2 2.2 will give you a better score than CM7 or any other gingerbread based ROMs.
When you enable stagefright, overclock etc - you might get closer but then you will lose battery WAY more quicker! - so not good enough for daily use.
If you are fussy about Quadrant scores - CM7 is your best bet.
If you are fussy about 'everything must be stable' - then GSFB19 or SSRL5 or Flb Froyo R12 are your best bets. GSFB19 is 2.3.4 and other two are 2.2
If you are not fussy about having fast and smooth phone - then GSFB20.
I know you might say, "Now I use CM7 N162"

the nightly ROMs: yes every night/day newer!
but so what, if the nightly is working more than the normal 7.1 RC then I use nightly older or never!
I wait when they make 7.1 stable or 7.1 RC then I use it!
Froyo 2.2: Quadrant sucks + overlock is not nice for froyo, difficult to ROOT, some ROMs can't to be ROOTED, Froyo stragefright: not faster!
So I use CM or GB ROMs which works fine!

I think CM stable releases only mean the CM specific are stable, not the entire build.
Which Froyo ROM's are hard to root/can't be rooted?
Stagefright was disabled as it was giving ridiculously high quadrant scores IIRC and was subsequently determined broken. The main advantage of enabling it on Froyo was to play Gameloft games without the broken textures, probably not to improve overall speed.

The CM Nightly's are not Stable! bur I use that ROM which works much better than other stable!
in nightly (newest) only wifi and other fixes nothing really much else..?
Froyo: I hate froyo because I think that froyo is not finished version..? Many froyo ROMs have too much problems which is not nice!
All Froyo ROMs Which I used (Stock) them are so hard to ROOT! need to add missing root files and other files to get ROOT to work fine even with z4root!
in Froyo Stock ROMs the superuser not work fine!
stable and other Froyo versions: maybe them have good ROOT files so then works normally!
and froyo have too bad quadrant, many games lagging, easily slowing down, many froyo ROMs don't have good apps2sd files to get files to SD card!
if the stragefright is enabled in froyo then: quadrant is something 500-800 P on Blade!
And gingerBread: stragefright not enabled almost same points 500-800 and some can get more than 900 and with enables stragefright: quadrant points are: 900-1480..? I got some day more than 1430 P on CM nightly (with stragefright..)
So I use CM nightly when there is newer Nightly where is better files!
P.S. If I flash to newer CM nightly then Do I need to do wipe and all if the newer don't have new apps?
I don't want to download all apps and games again to my Blade... :/
SORRY IF I WROTE TOO MUCH!
I need to go school so I don't have time to check this text.. -.-

I find N161+ (unofficial nightly), find it on MoDaCo very stable, battery life is also good. You may want to give it a go. It has a proximity sensor calibration app for those who have problems with it e.g. Me and a few other people.
When you update to a newer nightly then just wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache from ClockworkMod recovery, all your data/apps will remain.

I cant root like in other TeliaSonera 2.2 ROM...
ZTE Blade don't have good ROMs, all have bugs and problems whatever which stock, stable ROM! :/

What android?

Ok i have the HTC HD2 i been away for like a year and just come back and there seems to be new android 2.3 and that am using 2.2 froyostone sense.. so whats new then? which one would u recommend for me as there loads now cheers

Well, loads has obviously changed now. I would recommend looking here for instructions on how to start over and using this ROM, but you should obviously experiment in terms of ROMs.
