@sidhart Alfs addon is only for Alfs kernel user,not for stock kernel.Next time read carefully.
@abj x8 I know you are new to this forum but why you're not using the Search bar.I'm sure you do not watch this video.You make a new account and then make a new thread just to let other people know your problem and help you.Please,after this if you have any problem use the search bar.It was invented for reason.And all the bug list and solution for GingerDX are here.

Sorry missed out the stock kernel...

thanks all for the reply! ...but sadly i don't und much about klip's post(thanks! but i dunno what's linux ) ...i think i just redownload all my apps then and send them to link2sd ...and also i xrecovered back to 2.1 because the gingerbread mod i use IS TOO DAM LAG , UNRESPONSIVE AND seems too have a problem with my go launcher so i have some questions >< please do help !
1.what are good gingerbread mod? i use ginger curzt mod ...it's great but it's laggy and don't work well with go launcer ex ( when you go to main page it needs 5seconds load time ) ... i heard GingerDX v20 is great but i can't find a download site sadly ...anyways is all the ginger mod the same? or different maker make diff mod? any recommendation?
2.does all mods work with launcher? my go launcer ex (a must for me ) seems to be problematic with my mod ...my go locker is not working with the mod too ...
3.does it take time for the mod to fit in with my phone ? i installed the mod and for the 1st day it's so slow ,lag and unresponsive i xrevcovered my phone ...or should i give it some time?
4.whats bravia for?
5.does more internal memory makes phone smoother?
6.does recharging phone from 0-100% really increase battery life?
7.does the mod actually changed everything about the phone or is it just like a theme? only for looks?
8.what else should i do with my rooted phone ? i have link2sd , xrecovery , mod( haven't used )is there any more goodies for a rooted phone? i tried JiT my phone but it says unable to execute sd card
hope for a quick reply ! not gonna mod now ...feel scared about modding now ><
thanks in advance!! please help ! really curious about my phone! (w8)
yea...my phone seems to have rather poor battery life too in regular use , wifi , android marketing etc .. my battery last about 1hr =10% lost and with standby it ate 12% battery in 2hours ...is this a problem or is all w8 and x8 has poor battery life?
Bro,use froyopro,it's the most stable cm6,btw you can use titanium backup for saving all app,with rooted phone,you can overclock your cpu speed,unlock bootloader for new kernels,install xrecovery/cwm recovery to install other roms and the list goes on...
Charging from 0-100% it's let you to use the full power of battery,if you have problems with battery charging then reset battery stats in xrecovery,or download battery stats from market.I'm on phone now,sorry if I made mistakes.

I rooted my x8 and installed custom rom (gingerfast v3).But after I have problem, some of my apps (like virtua tennis) are force closing.i Tryed full wipe and fix permisions but that didn't work.Any solution? tnx..

Sometimes different custom roms cause apps to FC due to different libs and stuff. Have you tried uninstalling the apps and reinstalling them? Also, wipe dalvik cache.

They are force closing because
1.Those apps are incompatible for ur phone.They are still showing up on market because u might have changed the build.prop file.
2.Your phone might have less amt. of ram than the amt. needed by the app.
Try swapping ur phone.

I have the same problem on W8. and Dagger is wrong. Games like Dead Space were working fine on my stock ROM but force close in the custom roms. I tries multiple ROMs but it's of no use. I tried wiping and re-downloading too.

U can change vmheap memory size
Or
Change device name in build.prop
Or
Backup the game apk in stock rom, then restore to custom rom.
Try and Report here

Which apps give force closes?it's just virtual tennis?
This game needs special graphic libs .
I don't know it needs the new adreno libs or the old ones but I can run it perfectly on my minicm7 rom(uses new adreno libs...)
Vm heap memory can be changed @ cyanogenmod settings/performance . (Standard vmheap size is 32 mb)
+Also try armv6 version of the game ...
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2
not just virtual tennis. All 3d games. Dead Space has the worst case of force close. it FC in KuyaDROID 3.2.175, GingerDX, GingerXperia v21, GingerCruzt, FroyoPro and HoneyFroyo. But these games run excellently on my stock 2.1 ROM!!!

i know it's not good to point fingers, i didnt say that Dagger is responsible for anything. and i know really well that he knows a lot lot more than i do, but telling that apps wont work in the device when they were working well before is just misleading man. if he doesn't know the answer, it's not helpful to give discouraging replies
Solved! SOLVED!!
Hey guys, I finally was able to solve the problem!
The problem was that large custom roms tend to crash the 3d games. So I installed a lighter rom miniCM7 and also installed the file Raj had given. Everything working fine now. Thanks for all your help and suggestions!!!:highfive::victory:

[Q] MiniCM9 app compatibility?

Why are some apps not compatible with MiniCM9 although they are perfectly compatible with other ICS roms such as IScreamDX? By incompatible I mean that playstore says its not compatible with my E15i when I'm using MiniCM9 rom.
Also, some things that you should know:
>>I did not change my LCD Density
>>I check the build.prop and its almost identical with IScreamDX particularly the lines which states the product brand, name, model etc.
>>The problem might not be with the build.prop because I tried installing it through TB but it says that the cannot be installed But I'm no developer so I can't really be sure.
Is there something I can edit in order to make these apps compatible?
Thanks!

maybe you forget to factory reset?
SO
for example :
your position is on IScreamDX backup your data first!
then
copy paste your ROM on sdcard
Flash the latest ICS kernel with flashtool!
Backup!
factory reset, wipe data, etc
Flash the ICS ROM 3.0.3
DOne!
and after you successful the installation or get your phone on minicm9 ,
restore your data
cwm - backup & restore - advance
and all your apps would be upgrading by it self!

I do full wipe before I install any rom. I think the problem is with MiniCM9. Although its not a major problem because it only happens to a few apps. (or in my case, just one app) Its just annoying that I can't use it with MiniCM9. I also tried backing up and restoring my data thru CWM but it also did not work.

MMDA app. It's an app which gives traffic updates here in the Philippines. I don't think devs would bother fixing such a small bug. And based on my google searches, I think I'm the only one who have this problem in MiniCM9. I saw a similar problem in a thread for another phone but unfortunately no solution was given.

Im sorry dude i cant help you..
but you can try it..
I had sent some bugs when I using MiniCM 2.1.4
and my question was replied quickly! :laugh:
Just try it...
I fixed it! The problem was with the gapps I've been using. Thanks to your advice about restoring through CWM, I think I confused my google account and I was able to download the app but when I installed it the error "missing shared library" popped up and that's how I figure out it was the gapps. Thanks a lot! :victory:

my SGA always restarting after i reboot my phone..:(

Good day!!..^^..
is there anyone knows how to fix this???,,
when i install 120+ apps or games on my sga...after i reboot it,,,
it keeps on restarting itself in a minute i opened it...
my rom was the official cm 7.2 and now cm 7.2 miracle v4...but same problem occur..
i also partitioned my sd card with S2E(512mb)
and...is there a limit for a number of apps to be installed in SGA??
many,MANY!thanks for those who will answer...
_____________________________________________________-
sorry for my bad english....
It's a bug with s2e with 120+ apps. Try uninstalling some apps (u really use 120+ apps!?) you don't use regularly, you can keep a backup using titanium and restore when needed. Or... use an alternative to s2e, like amarullz script (it would require a fresh install of the rom i guess)

Absolute rubbish!
This is not happenning on ANY roms I use.. I do not use soft-modded roms.
@OP - Disregard the post by fotak-x - It's obvious he knows nothing about the roms here.
Try one of the roms in Original Android Development..
yet fotak-x has made it twice to the portal and you haven't. maybe OP hasn't installed it right? you are in no position to say fotak-x is wrong or has no knowledge. i'm in no position to say that you are either. so no offence but i think you guys should stop fighting.
im just saying that he should try that its the most problem of roms i just had same problem with market and thats how i fix it
so it wont gonna solve wifi hot spot but maybe market
and sgt. meow thank you very much :good: :good:
