*WARNING* The leaked Gingerbread Radio, which is required for this rom, has been known to brick some Thunderbolts. Be sure you're aware of the risks of flashing this software by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1096104 *WARNING*
*NOTE* There is a new GB radio out now at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714 *NOTE*
Standard disclaimer:
While no Custom Rom can ever claim to be completely safe, and the very act of rooting your phone voids your warranty, I do my best to make sure that any Rom I release is fully tested. That said, if something does go wrong I am not responsible for loss of time/money/data/sanity/limbs/life that results directly or indirectly from the use of this Rom. Please enjoy responsibly.
This requires the leaked Gingerbread radio and a Gingerbread kernel, which can be found here:
Radio: http://www.multiupload.com/HU471CMQI0 (thanks Adrynalyn) Download this and rename it to PG05IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard, then reboot your phone to the bootloader and apply it.
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1086518 (Thanks Imoseyon) Download your choice of kernel from the SENSE GB section.
First I'd like to say thanks to Adrynalyn, ThatDudeButch and Trident for making most of the following patches easily available, and a huge thanks to JCase (TeamANDIRC) for the leak:
Features:
Wake on Volume (thanks TeamBAMF)
Netflix Support (thanks rmk)
Removed recent apps from pulldown (thanks rbox)
Power options (thanks ThatDudeButch)
AOSP Lockscreen
Deodexed, Rooted, Mostly stock framework.
Very clean Rom (149MB base vs ~300MB for most others)
This is a stock experience rom, with all the bloat (and most of the stock apps) removed. If you haven't used Blackhole before the idea is to start with an almost blank slate (except for the stuff that's too intertwined to remove, or provides basic functionality) and add only the things that you want.
What apps I left in are stock (Browser, Gmail, Calendar, Phone, etc.) plus a few "essentials" (Superuser and Rom Manager).
Updates will begin being available in Rom Manager on Wednesday following the public release of the Rom, but in the meantime if you have apps you need added please let me know and I'll make an update.zip for you that will add whatever you need. Enjoy! And be glad that unlike some developers I didn't have the urge to put "Ginger" in the Rom name, or else you'd have ended up with "BlackGinger" or "GingerHole" neither of which is very appealing...
Download:
Available via Rom Manager, so you can choose your options while downloading.
Screenies ?
Any chance of AOSP contacts/dialer, MMS, gallery, and browser? Going to give this a go when I get home tonight. Heck, might even flash it at work.
EDIT: Nevermind....just saw that almost all of this is already included. Awesome work! I'm downloading now and going to try it out.
IRS421: I'll post some up later the afternoon/evening
litso: Dialer/contacts and Browser are a work in progress. When I find/make one that works I'll add it to the options.
sorry if i missed the screen shot links...
please make them more blatant?
+1 for AOSP Contacts, please

Seeing as he links to the new radio in the OP I'm guessing it's probably ok. Still subject to the same issues people are experiencing on other ROMs though.
Thanks for the reply litso, I didn't have time to get on last night. Yes, both leaked radio's work the same with Blackhole as with any other GB leak Rom. I'm uploading some screenshots now as well, don't expect too much tho, it's a vanilla theme. For the screenshots I'm running Launcherpro.
I vote ya call it BlackGingerHole
Getting FCs from Google Music (the new one).
I chose to have it installed with the ROM, but this morning when I went to play a track, I got an FC. I rebooted, still FC. I ".bak'd" the .apk from /system/app and installed the Market version. Now I'm getting periodic FCs on the music process, and instant FC if I try to open the app.
Sync Music was added to my Google Account settings.
Ideas?

Thanks for the report, I'll see what's up.
Also I've got my screenshots sorted, they're up in the OP. Like I said, nothing special about how it looks....
I installed it also after a clean wipe and used sense launcher and now my launcher looks ****ed up. Rebooted to see if that would fix but no luck
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I've duplicated the sense issue, though i'm not sure what the issue is at the moment. I've removed it from the list of options until I get it fixed. Thank you for the report.
So far i've been unable to duplicate the issue with google music, could you please provide me with a logcat of the crash? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I've tried flashing several boot animations from ROM Manger, but I always end up with the AOSP Android animation. Any idea's why this might happen?
Sure the battery have percentages in the status bar icon?
also, its there a way to get r rid of the quick settings on the dropdown and have the power mod toggles?

Everytime my contacts try to sync with SNS I get android.process.acore to force close. What would be a good fix? I am running Blackhole 2.4 with the voodoo lag fix. I would like to upgrade to 3.0 but I haven't flashed the dl09 modem since I currently do not have computer access. Can I upgrade to 3.0 while on the lagfix and if so how? I believe that using rom manager doesn't work. Thanks for all the help.

Not sure about the blackhole rom, but on my stock rom, something similar happened when I disabled the Touchwiz launcher by renaming the apk file. Did you remove Touchwiz?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I was getting process.acore FC's on almost any rom/kernel/modem I tried that was aftermarket, when I had the phone setup to sync facebook/twitter/myspace automatically. I got rid of them finally by setting facebook to once a day, and twitter/myspace to never automatically do it. Now it never happens.
I talked to some devs re: this, and they think it's because all the aftermarket ROM's use the mesmerize's contacts list and have parts of touchwiz removed. It's likely to not work right on any aftermarket ROM as a result since they're all based on jt's original clean ROM that did this.
Personally I found the above work around to be "ok" for me, and will likely try sync again once I switch over to CM 2.2.1 or Gingerbread 2.3, which I have a feeling won't have the issue since they're AOSP based.
if you remove tw acore will fc put tw back in to fix
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
when you went through to choose what you want on the "build your own rom" you must have forgotten to include one of the choices that were "Required for SNS".... I found that when you leave one of those things out, you get acore force closes. Hope this helped

Please bear in mind the easiest and simplest way of correcting an issue with a ROM is to read the ROM's |OP|, and the easiest correction is to re-wipe (using both ohsaka's superwipev2 from here, and recovery wipe the list... do both twice)your phone well, then reflash the rom...
General Questions:
Q: This app or that app is not working....
A: wipe and reflash....
Q: This or that app won't work on Ginger Yoshi, but worked fine on Froyo Yoshi
A: Some developers have not supported their work on the 2.3 line yet... it is a developer issue, not a ROM issue....
Q: I get error whatever trying to flash the ROM in recovery?
A: Download the link again, wipe and reiinstall.
Q: Google Setup FC's (that's force closes)
A: make sure you have an ext partition set up, preferably ext4, wipe (see above) and reinstall ROM
Q: Why isn't this or that incorporated in the ROM?
A: Either because it breaks something, or maybe it was FORGOTTEN, we all do this for the betterment of the community...
Q: Do I need to wipe before upgrade?
A: Unless it specifically says no wipe update, which yoshi has yet to do thus far, YES YOU NEED TO WIPE!! it GREATLY reduces issues... (on another note even the CM team has made a post by a Senior Mod here)
Q: I ask questions before searching or reading....
A: You will either be flamed or ignored...
G1/32B
Q: My phone hangs on boot?
A: Make sure you have the 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.05 radio and the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl... available here
32a
Q: Can I use the new 6.35 radio?
A: NO!! it says so in the ROM's OP, you should be using the old 3.22 radio, and the 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010 SPL.
Q: What kernel should I use?
A: this one...
Q: Why do I have to flash a radio, on other ROM's I don't?
A: Because that's what the Dev says, the is YOSHI's ROM not Mr. XYZ...
MT3G 1.2
Q: I am confused, on what to do?
A: check this post hereby jjrumph
Q: What kernel do I flash?
A: Well you can flash 1 or 2... this oneto get you booted, it will work, you can also flashthis one modded by ratking with an extra 10mb of space...

Most everything runs great. Text to speech settings force closes which looks like it's addressed in next release.
Only issue for me is that I'm trying to install Swype using Swype Installer. Keep getting Data network experienced problem message try again. Keep getting this. Had it installed on CM 6.1 with no issue.
Currently using My Touch 3G with 3.5 mm JAck

Great work though. Love the rom.

So what did you to to get it installed? Anything different than run installer. Like I said all I can do is enter my name and password then get data network error.
OK guys first off: This is my first android device, and I want it to be as fast as possible.
This being said, I just want either a DEFAULT Froyo 2.2 or default gingerbread 2.3 which means none of these stupid themes that motorola puts on it. Now here is why I'm here:
Is there a way without having to go through like 20 different steps in order to get the default android skin on my phone? I've jailbroken many a iphone but this android stuff is very new to me, so I was also wondering if there is an IRC channel I can go to or if someone would be nice enough to either guide me through or pm me through how to root my new phone?
thanks,
mike

I have been reading the stickies, I've also been reading about the roms and themes but there is some lingo in those posts as well as concerns.
For instance for the themes I've read several posts where it says to just load the themes on a rooted device, and yet others like the wiki here which says that specific themes are for specific ROMS.
Another problem with the stickies is I have no clue when someone last updated them, because some like the one for "Easy Root" or "z4root" MUST be old cause you can not find that app on the android Market place.
I just want to make sure that I'm getting the latest programs and such. I also wrote this because the one thing that me as well as a lot of other people want which is: Default Froyo. I dont want a custom theme, I want stock Froyo in all it's glory! Can anyone tell me of an easy to install ROM or easy to install theme that has this??
P.S. If there is an IRC channel for XDA could someone tell me about it? Cause I cant seem to find it at all

I have read most of that, and I get the first post, but then you seem to completely back track on the second one. I want the default Android skin from google on my droidx, so When you first said root I understood; but then you all of a sudden said that I need to deodex it as well.
This is the confusing part since you say in your post that it already included the root as well. So which should I do? root > bootstrapper > deodex? or just deodex then bootstrapper?
You have to be rooted, then flash the deodexed stock rom in recovery mode (hence the boot strapper). From there you can theme to your hearts content and even change the font if you wish.

Just because an app isn't on the market doesn't mean that it's old and no longer useful. And there are a million guides on how to do this. Just find a recent one and go for it
Alright I've done some more reading on different sites like engagdet and there seems to be a legal program called "LauncherPro" Apparently you can reskin with this program, Has anybody used this program? and if so how good / bad is it for removing blur?
My main concern is rooting my phone as well as getting rid of BLUR cause I believe that will slow it down considerably. thanks!
Unfortunately, launcherpro doesn't remove or replace blur, nor does it change things like the notification bar or lockscreen. Its a launcher app, meaning that it runs over blur, replaces the homescreens and launcher buttons. It's great for what it does but for your purposes won't work.
Honestly, I think the best route for you would be to take the time to root and flash a blurless rom like liberty or fission.

flyingpenguin is right.
Liberty is Blurless and you an install a Gingerbread theme on it straight from it's Liberty Toolbox app!
Check out my set up... I have Liberty 1.5 with the Gingerbread Blue theme and ADW Launcher EX.
What about the themes we were talking about earlier? Are those only available AFTER you flash to a ROM? Or are those just available after the deodexing? If so wouldn't that be the best and easiest way to get the stock froyo theme on my phone? or is that like launcherpro in that it just launches the theme over blur?
Also, I've seen your attachments and to be honest I don't like the look of it one bit, I just want a rom with stock froyo or even better stock Gingerbread.
Is there a rom out there with either of those stock? I should be getting my new droid x in the mail by next monday, at which time I'll probably be asking for more help, since I don't want my phone to brick the first day of use lol.
I used the z4 root on my dx. It took a couple of tries but it worked. I went with liberty 1.5 as my first custom rom and I love it. There are plenty of plain roms out there you can try. I just wanted something with a little more umph. Good luck!
Sent from my Droid X running Liberty 1.5 custom using xda premium app

Liberty comes with a froyo-ish skin. There isn't a GB ROM out for the X yet, but droid2169 (same dev who does Rubix) is working on getting GB to boot on the Dx. He's getting close on it, but there are still some bugs to be worked out. Had some issues with USB mounting last time I checked with him.
The closest you are going to get to vanilla android is either focused or fission
What is this Vanilla thing you are talking about? Is that the name of a ROM that has default froyo / gingerbread them on it?
Also, I don't know if someone already answered this, but the themse people were talking about before: Are they available right after deodexing? Or do I Nhave to install a specific rom THEN theme my phone?
Vanilla means original android experience or as close to it as the kernel allows. That's how I understand it.
Sent from my Droid X running Liberty 1.5 custom using xda premium app
oohh ok
If you want to theme the stock rom you have to deodex your phone and then load theme... if you want to theme a rom you need to load the rom (which are already deodexed) then load the theme.... themes are rom specific ie an apex rom is meant for apex and a liberty theme is meant for liberty... there's guides all over the internet for any method you choose

Hi guys, you've probably wondering what is this SuperAppUpdater imposting here,
Well, if your anything like me, you are probably testing new roms as they come out, just for the fun of it, but then, some of you might have the need of installing apps manually in your system/app partition.
Personally, I like the newly released European roms better than the custom ones, thats just my taste.
To clarify, this only works on Official European Roms 2.2.1, I've tested on the German rom, the UK rom, and the one from Spain, I've tested it on LATAM roms but for some reason it doesn't work, it applies everything but you wont get any signal, don't know if it works on Telus.
So, you might find those roms aren't rooted, and they also come without a theme, no titanium backup, no rootexplorer, no theme, they are as vanilla as they can get, so, I've made myself an app updater to copy all the apps I commonly use all the time after trying a new rom or even after formating my rom.
What does this do?
This will install the followin stuffs in your system partition:
ADW Launcher
Titanium BackUp (Free Version, not donate)
ES File Explorer (Instead of Root Explorer, but it still supports root, so if you know a better FREE alternative, let me know)
Stock Battery Manager (Got it from Argentina's Personal stock Rom, it will work on any stock motorola Rom)
Chrome to Phone
Contacts (GB Theme)
Phone (GB Theme)
Latest Facebook
Latest Gmail
Black Gtalk
Latest Google Quick Search Box
Latest Maps (My Tracks, StreetView +World Navigation)
Latest Twitter
Latest Market
Latest Voice Search
GB Theme + Framework (Extra options for power button) - Got them from some updater silesh made
It roots your phone
Market Access
850 / 1900 Baseband ( If you dont use this baseband, re apply your baseband after finish)
This is one of my first efforts, If you can help me make it better, by all means, give me your suggestions!

Good aport!
Only one suggestion. Remove root explorer as it is a paid app.
Also for maps, you should include the modded version which allows navigation all over the world, not just US. Check the xda portal for the link to that thread.

So, I've removed the download link cause my previous post included paid apps, I'm uploading a new version with free apps only, hope you like it.
Also just to point out that the reboot mod will not work on all roms. It works only with official 2.2.1 .

Yeah man I knew that, I did this only for the official roms, not the custom ones, It might work on customs but I have not tried on those roms.
If someone does try them on customs, let me know it and I'll post in which one of those works.

Nah, just did it in the description, I think it works with some customs too, just haven't tried it, I'll do it if someone reports it doesn't work in customs.
ES File Explore is great, but it's root feature doesn't work on stock roms does it?
Pretty sure Super Manager is more universal in this regard and still free - plus it has a crap load of cool stuffings included. (scrren capture, wave in front of the sensor to turn the screen on, etc...)

Thanks man! I'll test it and if it works as awesome as you say, I'll post it in my next update!
BTW, does anyone knows where can I download the Latest FREE version of Launcher Pro?
I think its better than ADW Launcher, if you guys know any other FREE launcher better than the previous I've mention let me know!

Just put phone in download mode and with Odin installed voodoo hacks gingerbread kernel with reboot unchecked.
Removed battery and into recovery to install tw4 zip.
From recovery chose reboot in download and with odin re added stock jvk kernel with reboot checked. That's all.

Does this work if you've installed some skins, like the Crysis Sensation? I saw that someone said there could be some crashes etc if using TW4. Anyone noticed any problems?
As stated in title, stock jvk from samfirmware and no themes. Led fix and crt off animation the only add ons.
Totally smooth. 2 homescreens only and no fc's.
Not sure either but I used the first zip in the link and it might be deodexed. Still it is very nice.

hurray! but is it like the ACTUAL sgs2?
I update TW4 to the last version present in its thread, it's simply amazing, fast , smooth and beautiful, the best you expected from the new galaxy s II, the amazing thing is that work BETTER than TW3 on our galaxy S!
I suggest to try it, without doubt
It work fine on JVB, i use a deodex rom stock (made with kitchen ;-) ) with CF root 3.1 kernel
It work fine also with modd like 5lockscreen (but read the topic before try)
You can also continue to use crt off, glow scroll and other fix already installed.
before flash i suggest to put in SD card a "sos package" to use in case of bootloop so you can flash back to your configuration.
Also suggest to install alternative launcher you prefer, and DON'T check "use always" so if you got problem with TW4 homescreen, you can push back key, choose other launcher and maybe try some fix direct with root explorer (for example)
i hope you find my post useful!

sgs2 lockscreen ?

Seems like it to me. Just like the tw4 clips on YouTube. Multitouch works perfectly and all widgets and screens act the same too.
To add more apps to dock you have to tap on apps icon. Then menu then edit. Then add the desired app icons like phone, messages,etc by holding on app and dragging it next to app icon as the rubbish bin is now in the usual area to add icons in tw3.
When installed tw4 it only has app icon in dock.
Took a while to work out. Ha.
Awesome launcher.
Was originally using gb launcher.

Thanks... i wann try
I use tw4 about 2 days now. It was in the Juwe's 4.2 rom i flashed...It is very nice, extremely smooth and seems to work nicely.
However it still has some bugs, you may experience fc's and even sudden reboots (did so once at me after it f.c.). Also as someone posted at another forum it seems to prefer RFS file system to ext4 (unknown why since SGS2 runs on ext4). I cant say so myself since i am on RFS too but any feedback on that would be welcomed.
PS: just a tip, if you want to install TW4 i recommend installing a rom with it, it seems to work better when roms are build around TW4 and not the other way around

Maybe not. I've installed on top of stock jvk not jvb and have had 0 fc's at all. 2 days running and no problems. Only thing that caused me grief was adding icons to dock but sorted that out...
You have installed a rom with it included and seem to have issues?
After reading 30 odd pages in the link I came to the conclusion that custom roms with tw4 included sometimes had issues so I added to my rom which is running rfs.
I reckon if you wanna try it and you're running stock jvk, go for it.
No need to do a complete rom.
