alpha GB 2.3 aosp

So Kitsap - you had no problems flashing the latest ASOPGB with your old RA (1.27 or whatever)? Thinking about doing that too

I am interested in this too! I thought that ClockworkMod Recovery was pretty much a requirement for this to work. ;)

Please let us know. Thanks! :)
 
Yes, I installed Gingerbread with my old Amon Ra 1.5 Recovery. I guess CM is recommended, but not required. I got my Swiftkey trial to work again, and I got Swype to semi-function. The Swiftkey Beta will not work however. I just got Fancy Widget up and running, and I like it. Good looking DonB. Can you tell me though what the advantage of Launcher Pro is over ADW? I found the toggle for mobile data which is nice. I use that thing a lot. I still have no FB picture sync, but I can live without it for now. The dialer really does still suck though. Anyone know of a a better dialer to use? Something more Sense like possibly?

I have read a lot of people like the Dialer One dialing app: Dialer One ~ Android Application v1.2.7.5::'Open conta By Yermek Zhumagulov | Communication . :)

Disclaimer: I have not personally tried it and am just going on what I have heard. :p
 
Will give it a look, but I love Fancy Widget, post a screen shot of your screen to see, the reason why I mentioned Fancy Widget to him is because he said he loved HTC clock and weather and this is a close second


Don...I like SimiClock -

Weather Clock and Battery all in one!
 
LP very similar to HTC look for a launcher, and many more options versus ADW, much more snappy and I like it much better, and love the launcher drawer much more customizations

Hmmmm.....I'll have to look into Launcher Pro then. I'm just starting to adjust to ADW so I will be doing this before I get to attached to it. Dialer One is better than the stock so far. It is definitely more sense like in that you can just start typing a persons name to find them. That is a feature I use every day.
 
I'm totally sold on Launcher Pro. I'll be paying the $2.99 premium fee very soon I have a feeling. Thanks again DonB. :) Now I'm going to try and delete ADW and see if that causes any problems. So far though, Gingerbread is pretty awesome! :D And they try to say that our little Hero's can't handle it. Well, I say :P to that.
 
So I thought I would share, if you're trying to send a picture message in GB, it can only be done with 3G on. It cannot be done over wi-fi. Thought I would try and save some others the problem I had to figure out.
 
Try the free version first and play with it, then if you want the extra skins and options then you can upgrade. ;)

LP is what I run with GB, no troubles here. I would try ADW EX but since I already paid for pro..... If you have TB, just uninstall ADW and then reboot
 
Yeah, I am running LP and I definitely do like it. That's why I said I can see myself paying for the premium version real soon. I wouldn't buy anything without testing it out first. :)

+1

Yep, I finally bit the bullet and got the paid version, ADW had fewer features back with CM6. Who knows, maybe the paid ADW EX version is better now but I like LP too much to give it a try;)
 
OK, so another thing I have noticed. When the phone is in vibrate mode, it only vibrates when it rings for me. Not when I get a new message. Thankfully the LED lights up for the message or else I wouldn't even know I got one. This is only when I have the phone on vibrate. The message alert is fine when the volume is on.
 
Thanks for the updates, while your at it, let me know if your able to make a conference call on this build ?

It's one of those you will have to try for yourself with the conference calling. Flash GB and try for yourself, lol;)
 
Google voice has been activated on my phone but the voicemail isn't working, so I'm looking to install the Sprint VVM, I see, and have read his directions, but when he says to install the .apk I'm assuming (I know) that I have to push the .apk through the command line, how do I do that again?

ok got it installed, followed the rest of the instructions in method 2, and nada

rebooting now to see if that's the trick
 
Biatch, LOL I did at the beginning, but want to know now if it works, lol

You can also install the APK with an app installer

Working on it. UnCorrupted has a script that will partition without a wipe....
Will post if I can get my hands on it!
