[Q] GingerDX - v017

I installed this version recently and I noticed that there is no multitouch! Before this newest version I was using v013 and multitouch was supported.Any idea why there is no multitouch in latest version?Is it supported in v016?
I install multitouch on GingerDX v17 with x8toolbox beta4
I will try it right now. Thanks.
EDIT: It doesn't work... I get to waiting for device and nothing happens.
GDX need his kernel to support MT or install stock kernel addons.
try ROM] kuyaDROID | v3.2.175 | CM 7.1.0- i really love that room, was using dx 17, but cant use tether, with kuya rom, all works more faster, and i can use tether.

Flash the modules in gingerdx thread. first post.. scroll down until you see where it says "Addons optional".. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
There is no need to flash linuxdx.. Just use the modules with stock kernel.

It's not a problem. DX removed the add ons to enable him to put them in his kernel and provided an add ons pack to flash after installing the rom for those of us on stock kernel. The only "problem" is no one bothers to READ...
Guys please search the forum first for any solution. I also had this problem after upgrading but solved. Follow the link given and read carefully.
You dont need to install LinuxDX.

hehe. give the poor n00bs a chance. When it starts to go wrong, its just so hard to read!
I think the multitouch module shows something on dmesg in adb shell. But I dont remember whether that was the MDDI module or this multi-touch module. And make sure you used the right module for your digitizer.
I have a little problem with camera apk. The texture (camera view frame) is different than stock gingerbread. I don't know if it is a bug or dx change but it looks terrible. How can i fix that?

doixanh removed dualtouch because he wanted to add on more mods and room for linuxdx to be on there. there is meant to be no dual touch preinstalled on there. thats why i use v013

But you can still get the modules by flashing the addons zip in the GingerDX thread.

yep, that can be done too. it certainly makes life easier when you flash addons that are mostly essential

[Q] GINGERDX Questions!

the requirements stated :
Requirements
- Rooted

- 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)
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using XDA App
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.

You should try STORMIX V2.2.0 or CM-X V1.1 , this ROMs works great with stock kernel, I tried both and everything is fine, fast, and the framework is most cute than GingerXperia.

Yes, I have this bugs too. Additionaly, CWM is in 4 version - in GDXv28b was CWM 5 and it was better.
I have FC in all apps, so I can't use this ROM.
My X8 is in Stock Kernel - what about others?
Edit: In 2nd version GDXv29 for Stock Rom works so much better, but Settings app is old.

no wifi on alfs8a
hi all.. i have alfs v8a, and ginger dx v28b, working great with an average antutu score of about 1940 when overclocked to 748.
i downloaded and installed ginger dx v29 and it is great, nice look, nice feel and all.
i got good signal, feels smooth, bluetooth is good and overall its great.
however, i have the same issues with most who are using this rom.
i did not notice the auto brightness if it is working, have not confirmed it yet for myself coz i only got the rom about an hour.
and the biggest issue is that wifi is not working. i dont know what i did wrong but i think i did evrythng ryt, i already flashed the libsensorspatch and still, wifi says error when turning it on.
i will attach a screenshot from my about phone so you guys can check if i have the right kernel for this.
as i saw this post from the dev section:
Originally Posted by burnoutslo View Post

This ones are ok:
X8_v08a-cm7_Alfs&djnilse.zip
X8_v9-cm7_Alfs&djnilse.zip
X8_09a-cm7_Alfs&Djnilse.rar
This ones are NOT ok:
X8_08-GDX_Alfs&Djnils.rar
X8_09a-GDX_Alfs&Djnilse.rar
i just wanna make sure if im using the right kernel or not because i really dont want to have the kernel changed if i have other options

I have installed GDX v29 on stock kernel and i have no bugs except that when i have activated oc module it works aparently but decreases performance a little (i.e. without oc module v004 at 600 mhz antutu benchmark scores are 1656, but with oc module v004 at 748 1550-1640), this is a bug?

I have the same problem, and i think that the error is on /system/etc/init.d/10app2sd the script doesn't work on stock kernel.
Solution: I changed it to the 10app2sd GDX v28b version and now a2sd works correctly.

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

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.
