[Q] Boot freeze after installing GingerDX v13 or v14

Hi all !
Having my x8 rooted and xrecovery v1 installed, I could flash the device with GinderDX v13 (install OK). I can see now the first GingerDX skate boarder and then the nice CWM 7 animation.
But, after 3 loops, the display freezes and the ringing bell plays infinetely every 30s (I've waited for 20 mn or so)
Could you help me to get this great ROM started ?
Do I need to update xRecovery or something else ?
Thanks a lot

Full wipe, as always??

GindexDX is awesome
Thanks a lot !

- Latest kernel and latest baseband xxx015
which means now i have to update my x8 to latest 2.1 eclair, and the root and install CWM recovery, and no need to unlock bootloader? no need to flash custom kernel? stock kernel can do just fine?

Yea...if u havent root, use stock rom,2.1 eclair (not like u have other rom),root,install xrec or CWM, then flash Gingerdx ( follow the instruction at gdx thread)

so i dont need to unlock bootloader and install custom kernel? awesome! coz i don like to do so

nop just have that on your cel and you can flash it, and remember making a full wipe for better results on the rom

Just root, install CWM, and flash the rom, modded kernel is not required
Do not install GingerDX with xRecovery, it will have bugs if you do, use CWM and before you install the rom, do a full wipe.

rom and kernel
To flash KERNEL you need unlock bootloader.
To install ROM you need root + recovery.

Excuse, but I installed it with xRecovery and I have no bugs. I only feel that battery draining is higher than stock ROM, but that's all. I've used it for a week without problems.

u can use with stock kernel too, if u wanna use custom kernel then u need to unlock bootloader, and all gingerdx roms v14 and above needs to be installed with cwm

go to settings/ Accounts & Sync and hit auto-sync or down on list hit on gmail account

I have cwm 3.2.0.0 is the same thing with cwm v014+???

I find gdx v20 best for day 2 day use
Sent from my MOLEY_X8 using xda premium

for me..
and hightly recomment is GingerDX v20
and when you know after reading thread by thread you can match with kernel
linuxDX, or Alfs kernel, or nAa kernel...
it can simply make your device faster and smootherst
but beware if you new on kernel
(make sure your know what are U doing when playing with kernel and unlock bootloader)
because it can brick you phone!
and then I sure after this you will screaming here and asking how to save your bricked phone!!
here the answer use SEUS

gingerdxv20 for sure

U have to follow installation properly
make sure install GDX with CWM instead Xrecovery
and fullwipe..
or maybe your device 'special' same like my friend phone
(when I flashing GDX 20 and GDX v19 on his phone)
I found this problem = sdcard no show
but when in recovery = all files and folder prety there
and I have no idea why....

Gx with custom kernal no lag 8 day use

CWM? whats that?? i only had xrevocery no CWM ..is it like xrecovery where u click back when you see SE ?

No you need tap on the screen,also you need to have installed.

froyopro incase of daily tasks and battery performance

for me gingerdx v20 is the best rom for x8 super fast and no lag

Click to expand...

when u reboot..
press volume down key or/and tap screen (when u see SE white logo)
u'll see CWM recovery and install GDX by this way
or if u can get into CWM th8 mean U don't have CWM
so install dual recovery.zip first (u can use search button)
or install other rom which one have dual recovery pre install
sorry long explaination
and hit thanks button twice!

thanks! (thanked already )
so in summary ...
open xrecovery and find CWM
if CWM is missing then go donwload it...
is cwm same with xrecovery?or is it and extension?
then use cwm and install the mod instead of xrecovery (do i need to system wipe?)
reboot phone then done?
hmmm just wondering will my link2sd apps will stay?
does it have anything to do with busybox? according to dotsen i must not update busybox

[Q] Help with GingerDX v29

Hello there, i have a problem with gingerDx v29, im using v28 atm with alfs v09a, so far so good, but when i instal v29 i get a com.android.phone error as soon as i put the ping and then the error keeps looping. i tryed re-instal, wipe data, (wipe everything that i could with CMW actualy) but it still doesnt work, i read the forum in order to find an answer but didnt find it with this SO, (also tryed a solution that seams to work in others so like fix permisions). How do i solve this?
I really hate to bother but its been 5 days and i can make it work.

And for the guy asking a guide this is what i did:
download the alfs v09a kernel right in the rom page
download the rom
download the libsensor patch
download the addon
put the rom, the libsensor patch and the addon in ur sd card
flash the kernel
start in cwm
go to instal zip option, instal the rom, the libsensor and the addon
restart
enjoy
i just did it and its working fine but im finding a strange bug though, my screen seams to be moving a little bit to the left everytime :X
when i fix it i let you know how xD
Thanks again to playjun _o_

alfs v9a
im having a little screen moving problem, i think its the kernel alfs v9a, i'll try v8 and let you know
Edit; Alfs v8a solves the problem

Hey guys i'm having the same problem with the screen moving bug, it moves to the right a little bit. I tried alfs v8 and it solved the problem but I still don't think it's the best answer since the combo gdx v29 and alfs v8 has A LOT of battery drain on 3g and sync on (in 8 hours it drains 90 percent of the battery just in standby).
Is there any other thing I can do to fix this screen problem? If not i'll just go back to stock kernel

Afaik alfsv9 has that bug. Try oc'ing above 690 and use on demand.

Hey thanks for answering, I'm on demand right now, and the cpu is set to 122 mhz min and 691 mhz max (basically I didn't change anything). Any other ideas?
Pretty weird bug I hope there's a good fix for this, cos alfs v9+ is the kernel with the best performance I've tested so far.
