Arnova 10G2 Finless Bob's "GingerComb" Custom ROM Version 2.0

[Finless]

2.0B fixed some more games but I am working on others now too along with a new bug introduced by 2.0B. So it will be 2.0C next.

What was the new bug? As matter of interest

Titanium backup hangs on some restores. Logcat shows SU is timing out for some reason.
Seems using the old libc.so when a backup was made with the Cube's libc.so is causing it.

I may not chase this as it is warned even from Titanium that sometimes you cannot restore from a different ROM. The only one it hangs on is Swift Key Tablet X. But I need to do some testing to see whats going on before I release 2.0C. Needless to say I am using an older tablet version of SU and Superuser so I may just update those anyway.

OK found that issue.... I had a bad backup... Odd....

Anyway I just installed the latest SU and Superuser.apk. It works so no need for users to try and update it at the market and then have it fail (known issues by the way per the ChainDD people).

The only thing I do not like about the new Superuser version is it is all squeezed up like it's on a phone. The very old version I was using was made for landscape mode. I guess that is the trade off you have to make to have the latest version. By the way, the old version of SU binary I was using appears to loose ROOT sometimes as reported on the ChainDD web site by others. While I NEVER had that problem myself I know some have reported it every now and then. So maybe this will solve that too.

I have gone as far as I can fixing games for now. So much has been fixed.

Expect version 2.0C today sometime.

look forward to it bob, will you be uploading the system.img also? or does it require a full new set?

[gsteruk]

as an aside -astro file viewer doesnt seem to play well with these latest versions, trying to browse a network share and generally moving around in the app force closes. es file manager works fine though, which is fair enough - just a bit of info :-)

also a few random freezes, screen locks up and wont respond, only solution is to hold power button to power off.

[Finless]

I will be uploading both...

By the way in my opinion, Astro file manager is buggy as heck!

Great Work!

Thank you so much for this Bob it is amazing and so fast.
Loaded with no trouble at all and almost all apps tried so far run smoothly.
Still can't get temple run to work, even with 2.0A and have the IPlayer problem but have discovered an excellent app called UK TV by CORRSEA in which BBC IPlayer works perfectly and also ITV player, channel 4 and more and its free!
No other problems so far.
Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

Temple run should work with 2.0A. It has for everyone else. So make sure you do not have some temple run files on your SDcard left over!!!!!

Look on your SDcard in Android/ or in /data and delete anything that has to do with Temple run from previous ROMS. I have tested this extensivly now and Temple run works for me 100% as long as you are CLEAN when you install it.

ALSO... do not use titanium backup on temple run! This game sets up based on the build.prop so a backup from my previous ROM will not restore peoperly on this ROM. Sorry just the way it is!

Music Player out/2.0c?

Quik question Bob I inadvertenly (in the app draw hit the stock music player but then i notice that no sound was coming out tried the volume button icon said volume was @ Max level , tapped the screen a few times to get the play/stop and nothing came up, my music files are all there but i cant get the PLAY/STOP BAR TO come up, anyone else have this problem and could you check if its just me, Im still using the plain 2.0 version i downloaded 2.0a but didnt install it as i was waiting to see the outcome of the game testing today before flashing any further. Next question, Im going out of town tomorrow for the next few day's (vacation)I wont have access to my computer, should i just go ahead and flash 2.0a or are you releasing 2.0c tonight (i just dont want to flash twice) thanks!
