It is snapshot. It is not fully tested so it is unstable more than GB alpha :>

You can test it and you can bugreport it.

If you have no time to test it then just use boot-gb-110401-up.zip

new issue on the latest files 
(update-gb-110414.zip/boot-gb-110414-ram.zip/system-gb-0330.zip)
that the power button works , but the menu button doesn't.
i'm sorry cause i dint't put an issue (using the first boot and updates) that 
the home button is the same of power button action.

another issue , that the phone can not return back after sleep.the screen seems 
to be ON , and the back/menu touch buttons are lighted , but no action.
another problem is when using (Arabic Lang) as input Lang in android keyboard. 
there is no Arabic char's appears (still English even it appears Arabic on the 
space button)
i don't know if those behaviors need to wrote as issues or not .

justsad // I think you have different board.

Rev.A and Rev.B has different keyboard spec. and the differnt kernel.

Please check your hardware revision.

  adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

check "eve_get_hw_rev" string like as

...
  [HW] eve_get_hw_rev() HW version is 8

wkpark, I think it will be good idea to create a one wiki or issue where you'll 
post links for all last version, updates and fixes because it's becaming really 
hard to be up-to-date.
Thank you.

boot-gb-110414-ram.zip stable for me. FM radio work, bluetooth receive or send 
file work smoothly. But home button always light on together with the 
screen.Nice work wkp..

boot-gb-110414-ram.zip works perfectly for me too, no new bugs, after 12h of 
use no reboot needed or crash, thanks wkpark!

Original comment by andreabe...@gmail.com on 15 Apr 2011 at 9:12

[GoogleCodeExporter]

so.. It seems like that there is something AMSS modem related problem.
AMSS modem reserved memory is about ~20MB.

GW620/KH5200 has 256MB ram. 256MB - 20MB = 236MB is maximun usable area I think.

but with 236MB ram setting, sometime phone boot, sometime does not.
So I change the maximum available ram area from 224MB to 234MB. (+10MB)

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 15 Apr 2011 at 10:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

but why phone settings display 196 MB of ram? 
another question: this system image + boot-gb-110414-ram.zip have last CM7 
version?

Original comment by andreabe...@gmail.com on 15 Apr 2011 at 11:25

[GoogleCodeExporter]

this is not a system image. this is only boot+kernel zip
----
234MB - 12MB(pmem mdp) - 8MB(pmem GPU1) - 8MB(pmem adsp) - ~7MB(kernel) - 
~5MB(android OS)

= ~196MB

i want to ask .. which Branch  did you sync from CodeAurora 
(https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/)?

Original comment by justsad.eng@gmail.com on 15 Apr 2011 at 1:11

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i erase all partition that i can , the reinstall the overall beta 
(system+boot-gb-110414-ram.zip+update-gb-110414.zip) leading to a full clean 
install , then erasing cache. >> the first look is a stable system , but a 
little CPU/Chip-set heating even the max cpu is 527 Mhz . i'll back soon

justsad // 
https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/
froyo_pumpkin;hb=froyo_pumpkin

msm.git repo pumpkin branch

but msm7x01a is not supported that branch,
some patchset is just for msm8x60 or msm7x27
so I have to checkout step by step.

* Gallery 3D works fine
* Camera zoom fixed to 0 now :(
* FM Radio works but frequency cannot be set to even number after decimal. e.g. 
you can only set 99.9 or 100.1 not 100 :(
