Root [ROM][AOSP]dGB v01_28_2012| 2.3.5| 375MB /data| 60MB /system |Mult-lang |Unlock |Reboot[28 Jan]

Here goes..... flashing now :0)
going to flash first before the hboot see waht its like, if I like I'll flash the hboot and nandroid....
 
well its not for me - tonight at least. can;t connect to me gmail, cos I have no 3g until i restore my APNs and it won't connect to my wifi, just connects and drops the connection. I can't use the ROM without at least getting a connectin somehow....
:(
Scratch that its just connected - lol
 
so were up and running, but can't get a date connection [Orange UK] So I'll have to fall back to Oxygen for now until I have time to sort my APNs out. Looks like it will be nice tho, deffo just what I'm looking for... Good work SU!
 
As an alternative to putting the APN data in by hand, I used an app called APN Manager to back up my APNs from CM7 and then restore them when I'd installed dGB.

I thought I'd got the APNs backed up with Ti, obviously not eh! I'll use APN mgr to back them up and go again.
I was also getting FCs when trying to select a wallpaper, but I did restore some system data with TI so it might have been that.
 
Out of interest, when you guys first install the rom, do you allow google to restore your apps, or do you just download Ti and restore with that?
 
Restore as little as possible, especially system data wise.

SMS, Call logs, Contacts, apn's really should be the maximum. Then with Ti, do a "Restore missing apps WITH data", but deselect anything rom related.

EDIT> Ive never used that google restore option. I always use Ti, SMS backup+ for my restores.

NEVER
EVER
Restore system stuff like apns from titanium. it will end in problems

manually put them in. it takes 2 minutes
i had to put in the o2 ones for mms and mobile web. its not a big deal
 
Afraid I'm similar - I don't use the google app/setting backup thing.

Ti for apps, and while I have SMS Backup+ (automatic backup has saved me a couple of times) I usually use MyBackup Pro for SMS and call logs just because restore is faster. I tried the APN restore from Ti but it didn't work for me, which is why I went back and installed APN manager .

I also find that Ti doesn't always restore app data when moving between ROMs - the app is generally fine, but I sometimes cannot get the data to restore. Seems to depend on what ROMs I'm moving between, e.g. I can never get Astrid tasks to restore from Ti when moving from CM-based to Redux. Hence if an app has an option to back up its data to SD, especially to do scheduled backups, I generally enable this as a precaution.
 
I'm going to stop the google thingy too.. Ti is prob going to be better me thinks.
2nd go, got the APNs sorted. All restored via TI. Still getting FCs though when I try to choose a wallpaper?

wipe and start again, you may have already restored something from system in titanium that causes that force close
 
Already tried! full wipe, reflash, select wallpaper FC.
Managed to set one now through after installed gallery3d.
Anyone have a copy geniewidget.apk handy?

who told me about that one?



what does geniewidget.apk do? thats a system app afaik but no idea what it does
 
There are no real wallpapers so you need to select via gallery or zedge

Genie is that battery drain news widget

Is that why it FCs then?
does Genie really drain the battery? Is there a better alternative?
@ rasta, I'll give quickpic a go...
 
Dunno. I use go launcher, so if I long press homescreen and go to wallpaper, I get 3 options

1) Gallery - I use this
2) GO wallpeprs
3) Wallpapers - these are the built in ones, of which there are none. It brings up a black screen with Set wallpaper. If you "set wallpaper" where there aren't any, it will force close.
 
Going back to the Google restore, I don't use that now as it backed up several apps I no longer want nor need, and it just downloads them all. Causing loads of problems.
+1 for quick pic, its much better than stock gallery.
Apn manager works a treat also.
I just want to figure out how to install an apk through recovery, then I would be able to run these kind of thinks on the fly.

3. Correct!
Something is not quite right, as every notification sets the phone buzzing and bleeping....
I'll try again tomorrow. BUT eff me it is a FAST ROM!
 
Whats that about notifications? I just use the ones that are default. got no issues there. What exactly happens??

Eg. Ti backup issues a notification for each app it restores during a batch. Couldn't stop it...
might be just a settings issue so don't want to sat its an issue yet. I'll have another flash tonight see if its better.
I'm maybe restoring thing incorrectly?

i have the prokey version so it silent installs
i think TI has always notified after each install to make you click the accept button for the next
