Root GingerSteem ROMs Random Issues/Requests Thread

Okay guys, finally took the time it test all the flashable zips to see what the cause of the bluetooth problem is.

Data was always formatted before flashing each rom. I'm listing it as I did it in order:

Formatted data.
Flashed Gingersteem 1.0 - Bluetooth works perfectly, but kernel is unstable @ 1.5Ghz (at least on my phone)

Flashed the theme - Bluetooth pairing crashes happened as a result.

Formatted Data.
Flashed Gingersteem Extreme - Bluetooth has the pairing problem causing it to crash.

Formatted data.
Flashed Gingersteem 1.0 - Bluetooth worked again
Flashed Plague Kernel 2.2Ghz with hdmi fix - Bluetooth still works and phone no longer reboots because the kernel is running stable. Success. :D

So It's now verified that both the theme and the extreme rom contain something that causes this problem, as I started from scratch each time. Took a long time, but man I was tired of that happening, I have like 5 bluetooth devices I use constantly, my pc, laptop, car's OBDII adapter, car's bluetooth FM receiver, and other phones.

I noticed the extreme rom is slightly bigger, so it's gotta be some file or app in there, that just also happens to be in the rom. As for the people that say bluetooth is working, they probably thought "Enabled" was working, and didn't try to actually pair a device.

I noticed that I'm able to unlock the phone just hitting the menu button so I don't really need to slide the unlock just hit the menu button has anyone else notice that.?
 
Hey folks, new to the forum. Awesome ROM, super smooth. Would it be possible to rework the bluetooth stack in a future release to include message access profile (MAP)? Not sure if it's possible.
 
I just noticed that the - (minus) sign and the x (multiplication) sign is not on the calculator. I tried to reinstall the calculator and jammed it up. So I removed it. How can I get it back??
 
is there an option in Romtoolbox to set certain Apps as default App? i know u mostly can do it by clearing cache n all. and sometimes when you launch the App if there's two of em it'll ask you to make one a default. but is there an App or away to make it an absolute default ?
 
I don't know if it's related the ROM/Kernel, or something I screwed up :rolleyes:, but has anyone had trouble getting to the External SD via USB?

Internal pops up fine. External worked at some point before rooting/installing ROM, then it didn't after. It again worked after upgrading to ZVC, now it doesn't work after downgrading to ZVB and rooting/installing ROM. There's a lot of steps in there so I'm not sure at what point it stopped working. I'm currently on GingerSteem 1.5.

Again, not blaming the ROM, but has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

sounds like the sd card it self, try another card in your phone to confirm.

Did you flash GSE 1.5?

If so, using ROM tool box's root browser feature navigate to the system folder and find the build prop and tap it and select edit. Then in the first half you'll see a line that has LCD density=220 change that 220 to 240 save it and reboot then once rebooted clear the data from the market app and you should be good on apps being compatible.
 
Anyone else have problem that many apps that could be installed on stock (netflix, go launcher, lg esteem optimizer, many more) are showing in market app, and online android market as not compatible. I kept backups and installed from there, but wondering if this is common, or if I did something wrong. otherwise this rom ROCKS

EDIT:nevermind, just saw answer above.
