FLASH it n njoy ....


Please note that I will be uploading updates from time to time. Please download the updates directly from your phone through "UpdatemeSmartPhone" app included in "GBSandwich" & install them through recovery for a further richer & better experience.




Step by Step Guide for Installation

1. First go to recovery mode & do a FULL WIPE / FACTORY RESET. Do a DALVIK CACHE WIPE as well.

2. Then select update.zip & start flashing.

3. Aroma Installer automatically opens up & follow the onscreen guide to flash "GBSandwich". The installer is touch based so use your fingers & not the phone buttons as earlier. Please remember not to choose 'CUSTOM' in Installation type as i didn't get time to configure it. If you choose also, it will have no effect & the 'DEFAULT' package will be installed. Also note due to hurry I also left out proper configuration of the progress bar as well. Hence it might show abrupt progresses. But don't worry, "GBSandwich" will be installed perfectly.

4. Once finished Reboot your phone

5. After booting once, please flash the GBS_Update1.0.4 in recovery.

6. PLESAE MAKE A NOTE THAT "GBSandwich" IS A VERY HEAVY ROM WITH LOTS OS PRELOADED APPS, UTILITIES & TWEAKS. SO PLEASE GIVE AMPLE TIME TO IT FOR IT TO SETTLE DOWN. INITIAL BOOT MAY TAKE MORE THAN 7 - 8 MINS. ITS PERFECTLY NORMAL. PLEASE GO SLOW AT START, & DON'T HURRY THROUGH THE INSTALLATION & START THE PHONE.
LETS ALL GO SLOW & STEADY INITIALLY TO ENJOY SPEED THEREAFTER.....

6. Data2Ext mods can be flashed only after one complete boot to enjoy high internal memory. Recommended to use high speed sd cards & 1024 Mb ext partition for the best effect.

Enjoy & post your experience, feedbacks & comments...
