Root [ROM v028b] GingerDX v28b 2.3 by Doixanh

Hi,

I think because some coding in v15 is in conflict with wifi settings
so hot fix is to be flashed to get wifi working.

I do not use v15... I am still using v13.
I think v14... v15 with the hot fix is not stable at the moment.
I don't like custom with hotfix... it shows that something is not working properly.

I will wait for a better version without hotfix...

cheers :)

If you get better version without hotfix,tell me too..^^

hi sorry newbie here i dont know how to start coz its not working when i press the back button during the start what should i do first please help

Hi,

Assuming you have successfully ROOTed your phone...

1. to install xRecovery properly you have to make sure you copy and paste the three files using Root Explorer
a) copy all three files to SD Card
b) launch Root Explorer and select <Mount R/W> (the button is at the top)
c) copy the three files one by one into /system/bin folder

that's it...

cheers :)

I have also upgraded to 2.3.7(v017) last week and it's all working fine.

I even downloaded a app called apps2sd with the help of which i can move the apps to sd card easily.

As of my observation, the ROM is stable and offers all the features and also offers great camera and music ( default )

Are you downloading lot of apps ? then do check those downloaded recently to see if they are causing any issues.

Hello.

iam using v.17 now and i want to use the v.18 do i need delete all the files i have or i can update to v.18 and use my settings in v.17?

Hi,

"All versions will preserve your DATA partition, so don't worry about losing apps/setting"

thats Doixanh say. Its mean, you can flash v018. Its just update your data partition. If you do full wipe after flash v018, ur setting,apps will lose.

if you have any bug, try full wipe.

p/s : sory if wrong..:(

Hi gabeyong,

I installed GingerDX weeks ago.

I was quite happy with the results and I rarely found glitches with the software. Overall, the experience was great and I forgot the I am using an unofficial software for my Xperia X8. Great job!

But one problem bugs me. It is about my internet connection through my mobile network.

My Carrier is Globe Telecom, and I happened to call (customer service) them for about 5-8 times by now, and they manually configured my internet account for my phone. All the APN and necessary information has been configured, and my simcard is ready to be used for the internet. I have extra load (I'm using prepaid); but I can't connect to the internet. My "Data Enabled" is checked and so is the Power Control icon on my homescreen.

Globe said that it would be a problem in my phone and not from theirs.

I'm just asking...how can I fix this kind of problem. I always restart my phone and it does nothing. The E logo (with the arrows pointing up and down) doesn't appear in the notification area, even though I am getting a decent phone signal and clicking on the browser.

Please help me. Please. Thank you!

Gabe , thanks for the clarification between GingerDx and GingerXperia, just checking if you have any info on this.

Comparing the GingerDx (v17,V18,V19 )with GingerXperia( whatever the latest versions), which one is very stable and has lot of features ( sorry i know the list is exhaustible , but till )

Would you suggest to upgrade the GingerDx v17 to GingerXperia , if the latter is very good ?

Waiting for your valuable feedback

Cheers

Hi,

After using both GingerXperia and GingerDX for a while
I can't say which is better... I am currently using GingerXperia v10
I experience better battery life with it.

GingerDX is getting too complicated for me with the Linux Kernel which may be experimental at the moment.

cheers :)
