than you for this huge work !!
what about issues #18  (XIM.apk+ .so lib files) , can you integrate this into 
beta release? , or this will lead to break the MIT License ??

vu.thaia // I have already synced with the latest CM repository :>

OpenEVE Gingerbread alpha is CM7.0-RC4.
and OpenEVE Gingerbread beta will be CM7 or the latest snapshot of the 
CyanogenMod repo.

OK. I missed one things. I will recheck above update soon. thanks for your 
reporting.

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 14 Apr 2011 at 2:37

[GoogleCodeExporter]

above update include framework.jar but it is the latest framework.jar and it is 
not compatible with older CyanogenMod.

So I just upload only to fix issue #3 problem at issue #3 (not included 
framework.jar.)

good that you integrate many fixs in the system image , so just we must install 
any boot, no update-gb-*.zip ??

Original comment by justsad.eng@gmail.com on 30 Apr 2011 at 1:44

[GoogleCodeExporter]

update-gb-core.zip has many other codecs. but i think it is not work properly.

and the System.img snapshot has only verified libs.

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 30 Apr 2011 at 1:58

[deleted comment]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the old libopencore* is not working now.

it was removed but migrated into the libstagefright.
----
libOmx*Dec.so / libOmx*Enc.so are proprietary codecs
already installed in the Alpha version.

newly added libOmxCore.so + libmm-omxcore.so are just wrapper libs.
these libs enable libOmx*Dec/Enc.

and additionally added two libs. 
 - libqcomm_omx.so : not known
 - libmmpil.so : maybe libcamera.so use it.

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 30 Apr 2011 at 2:26

so, which is best boot.img we should install now?

Original comment by vu.thaia...@gmail.com on 30 Apr 2011 at 3:13

and wihy you use CyanogenMod 7.0 snapshot 0430 SNAPSHOT instead of 7.0.2?

Original comment by vu.thaia...@gmail.com on 30 Apr 2011 at 3:22

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i test most things using boot-gb-110429-snapshot-224mb.zip
smoother and faster , some overheat , display colors looks great.
Arabic font is cool ,FM radio is OK , camera is OK
battery seems to serves shorter. overall m it's great , but i don't know whats 
new, cause I'm applying the fixes by you,this image must equal=old system + all 
patches,
but really , somethings changes ,fonts,speed,heat,smooth.
anyway , I'm considering this system as ultimate release.
than you man.

vu.thaia // 7.0 snapshot means the latest CM snapshot. not 7.0.0
but I remember the last checkout date was ~4/20. so it is not the latest 
snapshot. :>

you can use any of boot-gb-*zip you like.

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 30 Apr 2011 at 3:38

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the last checkout date was 4/24 so it is almost same as the CM 7.0.2.

after updating the latest system and boot image  , i feel the IN call volume is 
gone again.

this time, the sound is very low through the headphones alone, normally without 
headphones it seems to be fine.

please address

Is it better to use the 224mb boot image, instead of the 236mb boot image?
I'm trying flashing the new system image first
then installing the codec zip file
then installing the 236mb boot image

Original comment by rais...@gmail.com on 1 May 2011 at 9:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

you don't need the codec file anymore.
the important codecs are in the new system.img.
the others in the codec file don't work always correctly.

And the question for the 224mb boot.img
do you want that the AMSS modem runs more smoothly or do you want more RAM for 
the other applications?
i use WLAN for the internet and not my handy as modem for my computer.
i used the other boot.img because i wanted more ram for all the other 
applications. =)

Original comment by Katzen...@gmail.com on 1 May 2011 at 9:50

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@rais // you don't have to install codec at all.
it is already included in the new System.img.

you can try any of 224MB, 236MB boot imgs.
236MB boot.img have been verified to work with V20G firmware.
not all of V10x / V20x firmwares are verified now.

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 1 May 2011 at 10:29

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ah, well unfortunately I've already installed the new OpenEVE system snapshot, 
the codec zip file, and the 236mb boot image, and gapps again, since I seemed 
to be missing google search afterwards.

I did this on top of my existing OpenEVE install that was using the boot image 
snapshot from April 21, no wipes.  It seems to have worked, and all my apps and 
data seem to have remained.

Is this a problem that I installed the codecs even though I didn't need to?
If so, should I revert this somehow?

Also sorry, but I don't really understand about what the AMSS modem means, or 
what it is for.
I want to have more RAM available, but I never seem to see more than 70-80mb, 
nothing like 200 mb.
I use WLAN sometimes, but I use my data connection when I'm away from home, but 
I don't really tether.

Do I need to do a clean install maybe?  Wipe all partitions, clean install, 
then restore all my apps and data?

A related question, with all the new files that are released, is there any 
change to the installation guide?

I was assuming that the steps would be:

(potentially wipe partitions, or maybe not necessary)
fastboot flash system system-*.img
fasbtoot boot gb-recovery.img
install boot-*.img
install gapps-*.img

I know I am just jam packed with questions, so sorry about that :D
Thanks a lot for your responses guys!

1. you don't have to remove/revert already installed codecs. some codecs turned 
out to be useless but its ok.

2. AMSS modem firmware is located at a hidden nand partion and it must be 
loaded into the some reserved ram area. some old firmware need 32MB for AMSS 
modem firmware and newest AMSS modem firmware needs 20MB.

total maximum ramsize = 256MB - reserved ramsize of AMSS modem (20MB or 32MB)

3. available memory is not same as total maximum memory.

236MB(or 224MB) - 8MB (gpu1) - 12MB (mdp pmem) - 8MB (adsp pmem for dsp) - ~6MB 
(kernel) - ~5MB(android OS) = ~197MB (or 185MB)

total ~197MB/(or ~185MB) is maximum available memory.

so you can see this info at the "Settings=>about phone=>meminfo"

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 2 May 2011 at 12:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

OK, so it doesn't mean I have more available RAM for running applications, but 
it does have something to do with me having more room to install applications.
It looks like I have an additional 10mb free in "Settings=>Storage=>Available 
space"

It looks like playing mp4 video works now, so that's pretty cool!

Thanks again

wkpark >> can u make this , to lock the phone application into memory and to 
give it some CPU priority (to make and receive calls), cause it is the most 
app...

Using the last snapshot, my battery is totally drained out in a night not using 
the phone, moreover, the phone stays hot even when not using it.

Wkpark님 진저 개발에 힘써주시는 점  감사드립니다..
 이번 진저 스냅샷4/30일자 업뎃 후 몇가지 궁금증이 있습니다.
1. 캠코더의 줌기능 지원이라고 들었는데.. 캠코더 
촬영기능은 가능한지요?..
    첫부팅 후 1~2회 촬영은 가능하나 몇회 반복하면 프로그램 오류 메시지창과 함께 튕깁니다.

2. g센서의 기능이 지난 gb alpha에서는 아예작동이 
안되었다가 이번 버젼에서는 작동이 
    되었습니다. 다만 약간의 끊김현상으로 게임 작동에는 어려움이 있었습니다.
     테스트 어플은 레이징썬더, 윈드오브스틸 등등 이었습니다.

3. 홈/백 키의 led가 항시 켜져 있었습니다. 개선이 된 문제로 
보았는데 제 폰에선 잘 안되는 군요.

4. 발열이 234mb 스냅샷에서 더 심한거 같아요.동일한 cpu클럭 
조건에도 차이가 있어 보입니다.

실사용 하면서 연구하고 싶은데.. 아직 실력이 
모모해서..ㅎ. .한글로 의견 올린 사람이 있나 싶은데.. 
용기내어 올려봅니다..

Original comment by Katzen...@gmail.com on 2 May 2011 at 5:22

I think I'm having the same battery issue.
I notice on my phone that the GPS status bar icon is always on, maybe this has 
something to do with it?

I just tested the headset during a call, it looks like my earphones are working 
as speakers (before when I plugged in headphones, I could not hear the call at 
all, just some background static), but the headset mic is not enabled.
The phone's internal mic is picking up the sound.

just a question to wk, will be posible to rewrite the amss on the ram, so the 
people who has flashed a version 2 of amss, recover 3g (on 1900mhz)?

@adumsong //
1. 카메라가 그정도면 중요 문제점은 해결 된거지요. 몇번 
되다 안되는 것은 mediaserver가 뭔가 문제를 일으키고 중간에 
죽어버리거나 얼어버리는 것인데, 카메라문제인지 
다른문제인지는 저도 잘 모릅니다.
2. g센서관련된 것은 커널문제로 생각됩니다. 센서관련되어 
바뀐부분이 커널에 있거든요.
3. 폰이 스크린 온상태에서 자동으로 꺼지지 않는다는 
말씀이시죠? 네 그것은 별개문제이고 제가 알고있는 
문제입니다. 해결되었다고 하는 문제는 좀 다른 문제입니다.
4. 발열/전원 관련 문제는 여러 요인이 있습니다. 당연히 
cpu클럭과도 관련 있죠.

알려주셔서 감사합니다~

no mater what amss version,
there is only one known way to replace exist AMSS modem firmware
is flash whole firmware by another firmware using "UpTestEx.exe" or 
"KP500-utils-en" etc.

wkpark >>> you mean that you can flash any amss ??  can you downgrade to any 
V10x modem (i you have already v20d ot v20g)????

Original comment by justsad.eng@gmail.com on 3 May 2011 at 5:32

[GoogleCodeExporter]

basically yes.
but there are some hardware variant exists so It is not guarantee that it will 
work with another AMSS modem firmware. It may be brick your phone :>

so It is important to use the specific official firmware
provided by the network provider.

i want to revert back to v10 amss
i need to flash the the official V10L. (i will not care fastboot).

Original comment by justsad.eng@gmail.com on 3 May 2011 at 7:23

[GoogleCodeExporter]

without fastboot you can't install custom firmware.

AMSS modem is a part of firmware
but there is no known way to install only the part of AMSS modem.

Firmware = AMSS modem firmware + fastboot + oembootloader + boot.img + 
system.img + etc.
