Root Things working with Gingerbread update

Ok thanks to the really smart guys here on the forum, koumo, hroark, shabby to name a very few of them, there are more just dont want to run out of room naming them all.

I used koumo's gingerbread update, used the previous work of those guys to get a kernel that supports ext4 has support for init.d and flashed dark tremors a2sd.
I also used the flash for our phone to sucessfully have flash working.
And of course rooted.
Wifi tether works, I used the latest version, be warned it states EXPERIMENTAL so if it doesnt work that could be the reason. wifi_tether_v3_1-pre100.apk - android-wifi-tether - WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-pre100 *** EXPERIMENTAL *** - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting

I would think the latest beta would work as well.

That is all I can think of atm.
If anyone has any to add feel free. Any questions, ask.

Something else I just remembered, deodexed system apps and framework.

I can tell you for sure the version inigo modified is working. another guy reported it worked right away for him. I am going to start from scratch and test and find out if the xda version works but I wont have that info for a while.
 
I can not get A2SD working for anything. I tired every version at xda and inigo's version and keep getting the same error for all of them:
A2SD script does not run properly, better do "a2sd check" in terminal emulator! Maybe your Version is below 2.7.5.2

Each time I odin'd the stock EJ06 image, rooted, installed CWM 5, then kouma's kernel, partitioned the SD card, formatted the SD-Ext, then mounted System and Data and installed a version of A2SD. I also tried updating SuperUser and A2SDGUI and that didn't help either. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it sure is frustrating not being able to get it to work.

which kouma kernel? the froyo based one will not work. I have not looked at his gbversion you may want to double check that is what your running.
 
Inigo's works great. Do not update the a2sd gui from his zip. I received the same error, when using the a2sdgui from the market. If done properly his a2sdgui should be in your app drawer when the phone boots.

His a2sdgui is there when the phone boots, but when I open it I get the same error message.

It works fine on Froyo for me, but absolutely will not work on GB for me for some reason.
 
Don't know if this matters or anything, but when I try to start a2sdgui I get an error "Your SU Binary is outdated". When I try to update, it errors at "Copying su to /system... fail!"

Thanks for your responses guys, it's really frustrating to see this working for everyone else who tries it and not me.
 
you'll probably have to remove some bloat from /system before it'll work. the system partition is nearly maxed out on this gingerbread rom so there may not be enough room to install all the necessary files. try removing things like thinkfree, telenav, maps, booksphone, layar, youtube... those alone will free up about 20megs. then flash it again and you should be good to go.;)
 
That makes sense inigo, I noticed it was full but didn't even think about that being the issue. Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow.

I had same prob. But I used the one by indigo the old version
 
Yep. The Kouma/Optimus Kernel solved my WIFI tether problem too. Back in bidness.

Now I guess I will play around with the A2SD. It worked great on ShabbyMod .9 have not tried it with GB yet. I had a EXT4 partition that I formatted with CWM 4 I think. Not sure what is going to happen with all that stuff that is on it now that I am on GB. I think that Optimus said that his apps reappeared. Well lets see what happens.

Thanks to everyone for the help and for doing all the hard work.
 
Thanks to you guys I got a2sd working. Now I just have to get rid of the infamous "Google Talk Authentication Failed" warning...
