Root Leaked Gingerbread Discussion Thread

[jmar]

No problems. Slightly better signal strength. Either way, nice to have an official Gingerbread Radio to pair with Cyanogenmod.

So far so good... -77 most of the time, with some random fluctuations into the upper 80's, but I've gotten that with every single radio I've ever used. This is with Nils 2.1/3.0 (I'm waiting on the leaked GB version before going back to straight 3.0)

I hate you

I want to say a huge thanks and shoutout to all the hard working open source developers out there that spend their time and effort to help us out without getting paid for it! Especially the team at cyanogenmod, and the developers over at xda! Thanks so much!

I hate you

Just take the leap! You know you want to.

You're not the only one... I must dress offensively or something, I'm not sure.

Oh, and I meant to say OTA GB version, not leaked.

Hmmmm, I don't seem to have any problems.... I did have the pop up, not sure how I stopped it, but it no longer happens. I love this Rom.

I think this is the same RUU that xda is discussing. It looks like there is some questions whether this the real RUU or if it is really different than the incubus leak from earlier this week except it includes the radio [RUU] HTC Incredible Official GB RUU Leaked 4.06.605.2 - Page 7 - xda-developers. I hope the OTA rolls out soon so we can find out for sure.

No issues here. I'm going to give it a week, and make my decision to keep or move on at that point. Certainly quite snappy.

I haven't looked into it enough to see if they're the same, but I am dead certain that the leaked RUU is not the one being pushed OTA evetually. They have some bugs to fix, and /system/app is deodexed. Official OTAs aren't set up like that.

Okay, So there are issues with these leaked roms and RUUs that came off the future OTA. I have been hesitant to make a move cause I have a phone right now that really has just about zero issues. Honestly, when I read the 'fixes' that the OTA brings to our device, it was news to me that I had these issues. So I didn't want to lose what I have just to gain speed and battery. I'm waiting to gain that without losing function.

What are the bugs? Besides of course a Sprint build.prop file that incubus fixed. I haven't seen any bugs and I have been using incubus' rom since Monday. Of course i reflashed Tuesday with the fixed build.prop.

It's not the future OTA. Final RUUs from Verizon/HTC are completely odexed. In this RUU, /system/app was deodexed. Verizon doesn't ship the official update like that. So, there's at least one change that will occur when the final OTA ships.

-Upon a full power cycle, with GPS turned on, you'll get the GPS nag again, even if you select "never warn."
-Touching the clock on the clock/weather widget launches the world clock instead of the desk clock.

I haven't dug too deep yet. I haven't even tried the Bluetooth yet (a major flaw with the May leak). However, these tiny bugs (and likely a few others I either missed, forgot, or haven't encountered yet) are likely the reasons for the last minute hold up. The final OTA will be different from this leak, although ever so slightly. It won't be the drastic difference we saw from the May leak to this one.

Guys, I flashed this RUU and it works great. Got some elements from other versions of HTC Sense and it runs really smooth. The boot.. REALLY FAST!!!!!! Not kidding give it 15 seconds most and it should be up.

Link in the quote for the RUU
The GB OTA radio is now available:
[radio] gb ota radio 2.15.10.07.07 - xda-developers

The boot time is "faked." When you "shut down" the phone, it just goes into a hibernate. So, when you "boot" it back up, it's very quick. Put it to the test. Shut it down, then do a battery pull when it's "off." Re-insert the battery and reboot. Won't be so fast.

Your link doesn't include one to the RUU and gives no credit. I don't know if this is a rule or just common courtesy. Also, flashing the 2.3 RUU without root could cause one to lose ability to root for an undetermined time unless you are S-OFF. Just saying. Thank you for the post though. Not trying to be condescending by any means.

Will we be seeing your take (updated I should say) on GB soon with the OTA, RUU, and radios out now?

That's correct. Having said that, it's still a great performing ROM. Sure wish we'd had this a year ago!! CM7 is nice but it's not for everyone.

In the reply link is what I mean when I replied to the other post. sorry. Link I put was the radio.
As for flashing the RUU, just get the 2.2 RUU from dougpiston.com. (If you want to reroot).

I just did a battery pull, still same. No slower no faster. Don't believe me ill record a video to show you (only if you dont believe me and you want me to video it).

If you have s-off you can re-root your phone no problem. I did it last night, just flashed CWM 3.0.0.8 as a PB31IMG.zip file ( got it from dougpiston.com) and then flashed superuser 2.3.6.3 efgh (downloaded from ROM Manager). Older versions of superuser do not work.

2.2 RUU is old brother. 2.3 RUU is the new one...which has been posted. Please correct/update your post to reflect this. Thank you, and again, no hard feelings. Just want the community to have the correct info.

Thank you. Wasn't sure this had been confirmed. Thank you for confirming it. I will edit my post.
