GingerDX FAQ
FOR ALL THE GENERAL QUESTIONS, VISIT X8 FAQ thread
INTRO
What is so special about this ROM?
latest Android version 2.3.5, Gingerbread
SMOOTH like CM6, it's not choppy like others CM7 used to be
All the amazing FroyoBread features.
From v005 it has 3mpx camera and HQ video record with SYNC
Under constant development
New kernel built just for it
Thank you doixanh for everything you've done for our X8!
You should READ first post and second post before asking.
INSTALLATION:
Copy your "update.zip" to sd card and install with CWM recovery!
v013 and bellow, use xRecovery.
Do a full wipe if coming from other roms.
KNOWN ISSUES and Q&A
Note: below issue you can see @xxx -> this means in which version of GDX is issue present.
BUG REPORTS, KNOWN ISSUES:
NOTE THAT SENSE 3 LOCKSCREEN IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT SO YOU SHOULD EXCEPT BUGS. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS REMAIN TO DO.
TRANSLATION ERRORS: Members here have only translated GingerDX specific settings. All other things are translated by Google or CyanogenMod so it's theirs fault if transaltion is wrong.
General CM7 bugs:
Touchscreen sometimes is not sensitive on some parts on oth Cypress and Synaptics.
Launcher Pro bug: All icons in app drawer are stacked at one place when screen orintation is changed
Check this picture.
WiFi don't work if you use LinuxDX v001 or v002.
There is a bug in the transparent status bar modifications which are made for GingerDX. It somehow breaks the visual appearance of buttons in the Photo Gallery app (which also uses transparency). The buttons are larger than they should be and they are not rendered properly, horizontal lines in random colours are partially covering them.
Accelerometer is lagging, it's not precise.
It works all right for changing screen orientation, but it's NOT good for games.
@I think it's fixed in recent releases...
Album folder shows multiple albums with the same titles.
Songs on Albums with different infos will separate them.
Check this
@v006, v007, v008, v009, v010, v011, v012, v013, v014 (??)
Custom Carrier text doesn't not appear when Lense lockscreen is choosen.
(altough I think it's not doixanhs fault, it's CM7 limitation or whatever) (???)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS THAT ARE FIXED IN LATEST VERSION (current: v017)
DSP manager FC.
@v016
From v012 all Camera apps shuold work fine. No Barcode scanner FC's etc...
If you use 24h clock format, Sense lockscreen will display 12h format, although 24h format is chosen in system options
When you change themes through the T-Mobile app, the theme wallpaper isn't applied. Even after a reboot, the old wallpaper remains.
Some apps can't grant root acces... even SUapp says it's granted (System app remover, Root Uninstaller etc)
FIXED IN v010
Acceleormeter is bugging.
I make a call it is backing with the screen rotated 90° and take a long while to back to 0°. I tried forcing it to rotate, and it is slow to rotate
Next track using volume rocker key work just one time (or 0) and then stops working.
@v007 (not sure for previous versions)
Some camera apps are not working correctly. (Google Goggles, Barcode Scanner..)
camera libs are replaced in v008, all camera apps work fine
There's a bug on syncing contacts with Facebook/Last.FM etc
All the accounts for FB, Viber, Skype, Whatsapp go missing after a reboot.
@v006 (some one should check this for v007)
100% brightness on v006 is incorrect.
Brightness is weird on v006 (?)
ISSUE/SOLUTION:
Issue: I don't have in-call menu (to end call, dial pad etc...) while in call.
Solution: Tick force in-call touch UI in Call settings.
Issue: Autobrightness work incorrectly.
Solution: CyanogenMod settings> Display>Automatic Backlight> check the options Use custom (light levels) and Allow light decrease. (ENABLED BY DEFAULT IN v008)
Check this thread and this picture to set up brightness the way you like.
Issue: Hide LED notification doesn't work correctly
Solution: Set manually to fix.
Issue: When I come back from airplane mode, phone does not allow me to enter PIN number.
Solution: (One or two users reported this, so.. just reboot )
Issue: When someone call me, the phone only ring one time. Is that a bug?
Solution: In v007 theres an option in CMsettings>GingerDX, check "Loop Ringtone"
Loop ringtone. It works with whatever format of your ringtone is: MP3/OGG/...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Issue: My battery drains. How to fix?
Solution: So, doixanh's phone is always connected to laptop because he's needs to develop and he can't test battery yet.
But you can FREEZE unused system apps (like email, gmail etc) with Titanium Backup, or delete from system/app.
You can use Airplane mode during the night.
Issue: LED notifications don't work, work incorrectly.
Solution: Enable succession on CM Settings menu.
CM Settings > Interface> Notification Led >Advanced > Check Succession
(This is enabled by default in v007)
Issue: WiFi problem.
Solution: Forget all remembered networks, and connect again.
Q/A:
Q: How can I set specific ringtone for one contact?
A: Open contact, press "menu" button, tap "Options" and you'll see option there. It's same for all roms around.
Q: How do I get transparent status bar?
A: In v007 in GingerDX options, tick "Semi-Transparent status bar", reboot. Note: not all launcher (or themes) support it.
Q: Do I need to do a full wipe when changing from one version to an another?
A: No, but it's recommended if you have bugs.
You can try clearing dalvik and cache first
Q: Do I need modules if I flash custom kernel?
A: No, all those features are implemented in kernel, so modules are not required. Also, modules needs to be compiled to use with new kernel.
Q: Is required to use a LinuxDX with GDX?
A: No, it's not, but doixanh recommends it!
INFOS:
Custum carrier text appers only on lockscreen as it supposed to.
In v008 fun was how to unlock Sense lockscreen, in v009 it's already there, you don't need to unlock it.
That is a first class suggestion and I am sure this is going to be a fantastic thread.
Way to go Dare-Devil Inside!!!

open the twilan file and copy it as text here so that I can see if wifi n is enabled, maybe that's the culprit.

This is the general discussion thread for Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean for A500.
CM10 randomblame's Jellytime
CM10 civato's JB 4.1.2 FLEX v6supercharged
CM10 pjsports's rom
CM10 builds from wds :unmaintained
Jelly Bean Gapps:
Latest gapps
Gapps full list.
Troubleshooting:
The unlocked ICS bootloader is required.
If you encounter an error during the flashing process use another recovery, TWRP is known to cause problem with this rom, a CWM based recovery should do it.
If you have problems with the Google Play Store after a bit, uninstall updates for it.
If you want to avoid the lockscreen bug, you can disable it in settings-security.
Report bugs & issues with your attached logcat in the development thread.
How to logcat?
I haven't tested all features yet. The only thing that does not work is face unlock so far.

runs really smooth this is awesome, but I can't get google play store to open, going to try and reflash GAPPS.
@lowsum, thanks for taking the initiative.
I will ask that you maintain the OP, providing some info ie FAQ, links for gapps etc
Will get a thread opened up in dev later today...
You guys may need to track down a better jb gapps package to use, I think the one listed in the thread is causing a lot of the reported issues...
Only issue...
Excellent start... so impressed!!
Only issues I have is with percentage battery not showing in status bar and an invisible slide on wake up. It works but can't see it... a little tricky but no deal breaker.
Huge congrats on a fine and rapid effort!
*EDIT* Odd... as if by magic, the slider is back! Only thing I think I tried was rebooting a few times AND turning off BOTH screen animations on wake / lock... Weird, but happy now!
My test results
Flashed CM10+gapps.jb.20120717. GMail and some other Google apps are not included and you'll need to get those separately from the Play Store.
SOFTWARE: Market apps did not auto restore; but all of them were able to be manually installed with no errors. I used ICSBrowser with Thor's ICS ROM...this app does not work in JB. GoogleNow, Netflix, and YouTube work great. Alternate launchers also work great.
HARDWARE: The rotation lock toggle doesn't work, but there is a quick setting option for that anyway. Sound works flawlessly. External Seagate 500GB hard drive works. Acer USB mouse works. Acer BT keyboard works. DSLR Controller works with my Canon EOS Rebel XT as far as reading the memory card; but cannot capture images which was no different in ICS. I could not get a GPS lock with GPS status nor could the Navigation app get GPS.
I have not tested any games yet. I'll load up some of my favorites tonight or tomorrow and report back.
THIS IS EASILY A DAILY DRIVER. Many many many thanks to WDS!

as for the hardware rotation lock, i need to port my code over. as my birthday is now over, i hope to have some time in the next week to do it.
@waydownsouth: My pleasure, I will maintain this thread no problem. That's the least I can do. Keep it up, it's working amazingly well already.
On my side GPS doesn't work, lockscreen sometime disappears and like most rom since ICS there's some screen flickering noticable on low brightness and dark color (kernel related I think). Battery percentage is also not showing in status bar. I had a couple of browser crash, but it was with Quick ICS Browser wich has been updated to support JB.

There's a lot of CM9 code still to be ported to CM10, things will get better as things go on.
GPS is still very broken, there have been some permissions changes in how the gps lib communicates with the native proprietary daemon... I have a workaround in mind, just need to get it implemented...

Thanks mate..this is far above expectation for the early release..great job.. :good:
If you have problems with the Google Play Store after a bit, uninstall updates for it. I was able to use it after having problems as flashing GApps didn't help.

This is an awesome ROM! Thanks to everyone that has put work into this. Just to report on three issues I have found:
-Gmail app crashes every darn time. The app seems to be a hot mess.
-The unlock screen seems to go "invisible" after the tablet has been on for a while. You kinda have to guess where the button is and swipe.
-I use a bluetooth keyboard. Normally the touch keyboard goes hidden when BT keyboard is connected, but not in this AOSP ROM.
Thanks guys for the awesome work.
For a first build this is awesome! Even camera works!!
I'm using it as a daily.
I do have the following issues. (This is not a complain, I'm thoroughly impressed with this rom, this is just me reporting the issues i've experienced so far)
1) GPS doesn't work.
2) Gmail, calander, and Reddit is fun GP crash occasionally. Here is the gmail logcat: https://www.dropbox.com/s/taavl8kacv23q2z/gmail-logcat.txt
I think this is those same memory leak issues we had in the ICS rom.
3) after a while the lockscreen becomes "invisible", but still functions. In the mean time I just disabled it.
4) When importing photos from a DSLR into gallery over usb the new photos do import to the tablet but do not get added to gallery. It took an hour and two reboots before they showed up (no matter what i tried).
5) despite being set to "wifi always on" wifi disconnects during sleep
6) Plugging in a usb keyboard does not hide the onscreen keyboard
Awesome work fantastic rom!!

Tested the hdmi, audio is not working (it did in hc3.2)
My screen, after wakeup, is black after tab has been asleep for more than a minute. I have to press power button to restart tab every time. I have turned off animation for both on and off.
Thanks

i tested it for the whole day today and i had all of the same problems. in any case though, thank you very much for all your hard work! : )
I had installed Jellyblast from and wen I tried to use an Tu tu benchmark the screen flickers a lot.please help me in this.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
The benchmark makes the screen flicker in the middle, it's normal
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
I have the same issue on ussr 5 .after fresh firmware flash it was gone.
MANY GREEEEETZ!!!
actually when i opne the app itself it flickers continously and even i can't use the app.
I seemed to have this problem as well on CoD ROM. But this problem was on Twitter. It stopped flickering when I flipped the device to landscape.
This must be done problem with DDLF2. Samsung must have changed a few codes. The ever present DSP manager problem is also present on this version.
One ****ing minute! - Billie Joe Armstrong at iHeartRadio Music Fest 2012
ya it do really flickers a lot n more over it contains many bugs in it..
like one in the clock.
every time u enter the time for alarm the desk clock gets force closed.
can some one contact avijit ghosh on this xda m unable to contact him as m new on the xda.
but much experience on custom rom..
avijit is the creator of the jelly blast
Hmm..yeah, I could experience the same in COD ROM, it is due to DDLF2 , something related to samsung updates, but as gadget droid said, go to landscape, its not happening
Fix some issues.

I also have had similar problem, I've been managing the situation by using landscape mode, but i'm also facing a problem regarding 'jellybean search' app, it asks to terminate at startup. I'll also be pleased if the flickering problem be solved in the ROM
Hello,
I have strange issue on my rooted n10. Now i use Sentinel rom v4.8 but same problem is on stock rom..
After 3-4 days using n10 without reboot when i use "last app" key my launcher restarting (next laucher) and other apps like audio apollo or chat communicator, only reboot solve problem but not pernamently. Another problem is with browser ( i use delphin now but same problem is on ff) when i switch to another tab, this tab fully refresh...
Please help me with this, maybe it is some apps to keep other app runing in background? Or it is hidden option in android to keep it open??
Thanks!

This doesn't sound like a strange problem, just sounds like the same memory leak problem most people have. See one of the countless threads about reboots.
Having been using this for couple of weeks and seems to work mostly fine: (MoKee dior, can't post links yet, google helps)
Only problem seems to be with theming engine, it could be my nova launcher or something else thou, haven't tried with fresh install after systemui started to randomly crash. Nothing big, and not constantly, but sometimes. Anyone else tried & had similar problem?

Yes, I have the same problem with fresh install and looks like it's a common problem. My guess is it has something to do with RAM management.
+1 to the Systemui crash, but in my experience it happened after almost 10+ days after installing the ROM but i would say its still manageable by looking at the customization options the ROM gives...
Hopefully we may get a stable ROM soon
